Chapter 907 - 553: Four Directions and Five Domains 2

Chapter 907: Chapter 553: Four Directions and Five Domains 2

"I’ve fought countless Primordial Ancestors around here, yet this world seems endless."

Now the land lies desolate.

The territory of a Primordial Ancestor is roughly equivalent to half a large Cultivation Realm with Nascent Soul Cultivators.

And a small Cultivation Realm encompasses the territory of three or four mundane empire limits.

To mortals, the expanse of a large Cultivation Realm is truly vast and boundless.

Calculating this way, Jiang Ming’s current territory has surpassed most Large Secret Realm Worlds, nearing the territory of a Blessed Land World.

"But at most, there’s only a chance of one Profound Immortal, the probability of a Golden Immortal is very small."

For Golden Immortals, it’s almost impossible for them to decay.

Golden Immortal, simply the word ’Gold’.

Gold symbolizes immortality.

Such beings are extremely hard to kill; any trace of cause fleeing could lead to their resurgence.

Just like the strength of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

The sages could only seal them.

The only Golden Immortal Realm powerhouse to fall in the Witch Demon War was Emperor Jun.

But it was the Twelve Ancestral Witches who used Celestial Venerable power to slay him.

"If it’s just a Profound Immortal..."

Though Jiang Ming’s eyes show apprehension, fear no longer remains.

All fear stems from inadequate strength.

If this world were placed before the peak of Cultivation Civilization.

It’s estimated that many Cultivators would want to study the variety of traits of the world’s sinister demons, attempting to develop new techniques.

Could they use them as some form of Alchemy or Artifact Refining material.

Whether they could blend with Beast Taming Dao.

"Sunx Wudao and Zhou Ming, in the Cultivation World, would be top talents even Immortal Sects would vie for."

"Yet they can’t keep pace with me."

"However, cultivation itself is a world where immense power returns to a single body."

Jiang Ming casts out the materials.

Unleashes a grand array in the Great Lii Imperial Capital.

Twelve Spiritual Springs erupt with the purest Spiritual Qi around the Imperial Capital.

The Spiritual Qi is rich, while the grand array specifically isolates the black elements of this world.

For a time, the Imperial Capital becomes a Cultivation Holy Land.

And at the very center of the Imperial Capital, a higher-scale array conceals a pearl.

Jiang Ming cultivates inside the Cosmic Star Pearl.

"Exchange, breakthrough enlightenment."

"Exchange, Mortal Transformation Technique enlightenment."

"Exchange, Breaking Mortality Pill, Thirty-Three Spirit Flowers Soul Gathering Pill, Three Kings Heart Enlightenment Pill, Seven Fragrances Spirit Locking Pill..."

"Exchange, Heaven and Earth Enlightenment..."

.....................

Time swiftly passes.

Another hundred years have flown by.

All mortals on the land have been replaced with a new generation.

Great Lii has become the center of civilization, a Cultivation Holy Land.

The Imperial Capital grows ever richer in Spiritual Qi.

The mortals initially in the Imperial Capital are even forcibly relocated out.

The Imperial Capital is no longer called the Imperial Capital, but rather, Ancestral Mountain.

All Cultivators consider it an honor to set foot on Ancestral Mountain.

Legend has it, a hundred years ago...

"That was a hundred and fifty years ago."

"The Primordial Ancestor emerged out of nowhere."

"With a longsword, he wiped out demons of the world."

"He drew a large circle with a Divine Sword across the four directions."

"Outside the circle lay the land of demons."

"Inside, the Human Race could thrive in peace."

"Lii Land, Western Desert, Northern Domain, Southern Border, East Hill"

"The five regions thrive and prosper."

At the foot of Ancestral Mountain.

In a certain inn, the storyteller vividly narrates the legendary tales of old.

Children hearing such stories for the first time gaze with eyes full of admiration.

"Lii Land is where the Primordial Ancestor rose, Ancestral Mountain contains the twelve Spiritual Springs arranged by the Primordial Ancestor."

"And within Ancestral Mountain, there are no impurities in the Spiritual Qi; it’s one hundred percent pure."

"Remember, even within Lii Land, there’s three percent impurity in the Spiritual Qi."

"We Cultivators must remove these impurities during cultivation, lest we fall into the Evil Path, becoming like Outer Realm demons."

"The Primordial Ancestor’s four disciples oversee the Immortal Sect Demon Pavilion, Imperial Dynasty, Hundred Arts Association."

"They preached to the world a hundred years ago."

"One by one, Cultivation Clans, Cultivation Sects, Demon Race tribes, rose in the four regions."

"The winds of cultivation flourish."

"Demon Hunters sweep the world for a hundred years, so rare is it now even in the remotest Western Desert for sinister beings to cause harm in broad daylight."

"Especially over fifty years ago, the Primordial Ancestor’s eldest disciple stepped into the Nascent Soul Realm, followed consecutively by the other three direct disciples into the Nascent Soul Realm."

"Since then, the surrounding demon ancestors dared not easily slay our dispatched demon hunters."

As the storyteller recounts the tale, unconsciously his posture straightens.

Suddenly outside, joyous cheers burst forth.

Customers in the inn hurry out to inquire.

"It’s the Sect Leader of Ice Spirit Sect in the Northern Domain breaking through to late-stage Golden Core."

"And successfully passed the Immortal Sect’s test, now holds the hundred and thirty-second seat on Ancestral Mountain’s mid-section!"

"Late-stage Golden Core, that’s truly remarkable!"

"The last was the patriarch of East Hill Zhang Family, wasn’t it?"

"However, recently the number of strong figures in the four domains has increased, whereas there are fewer powerhouses from Lii Land."

In the inn, everyone’s eyes gleam with longing and admiration.

Ever since a hundred years ago enlightening the world.

Techniques were no longer solely held by Immortal Sects and Imperial Dynasties.

Masses of Cultivators left the Immortal Sect and Imperial Dynasty, establishing sects and clans everywhere.

In a hundred years, the arrangements of old have already taken considerable form.

"The Spiritual Qi of Ancestral Mountain is the richest, undoubtedly it is a Cultivation Treasure Land."

"Only those Cultivators with the highest cultivation and strongest talents may possess a seat there."

"I’ve heard rumors, even the Celestial Secret Master at Hundred Arts Association has laid out a list."

"Named the Celestial List, it ranks the world’s top Cultivators."

"Only those stepping onto Ancestral Mountain’s mid-section qualify to be listed."

"But none of this comes free," an elder sighed.

Most present were mortal martial artists or Cultivators just stepping into the first or second level of Qi Refining.

Born around Ancestral Mountain, they’ve listened to many Primordial Ancestor legends.

Yet ultimately they lack an understanding of high-level strength.

"Have you heard of the Outer Circle?"

Everyone trembles slightly.

Back then, the Primordial Ancestor Sword slashed four major Primordial Ancestors.

With the Divine Sword, he drew a large circle in the four directions.

It’s rumored the great circle is a special grand array, even the proud Array Masters of the Array Association speak of it with feverish expressions.

Its array core is embedded with four Divine Swords, which transform into Sword Mountain, eternally guarding the four directions.

A hundred years have passed.

Those inside the circle also begin to show curiosity about the outside.

But more so, they are apprehensive.

After all, demons within the circle have yet to be fully cleared.

A world filled entirely with demons.

These Cultivators, living in a thriving Cultivation era, can hardly imagine it.

Over the past hundred years, most Cultivators are at Qi Refining cultivation, a few talents have broken through to Foundation Establishment.

Only a tiny fraction of Celestial Prides and older folk from the inception era of the Demon Pavilion Immortal Sect have reached Golden Core.

Those who could step into late-stage Golden Core are genuine talents.

Yet these powerhouses are obliged to go outside the circle on fixed schedules.

"Heading outside the circle?!"

Everyone looks towards the elder.

"Naturally."

"What do you think the four domain world comes from."

"Isn’t it from the Primordial Ancestor seizing from the hands of those ancestors?"

"All Golden Core Cultivators must venture outside the circle."

"Whether they are sect Cultivators or Loose Cultivators."

"Upon reaching Golden Core, they must proceed to certify through the Four Great Powers, simultaneously earning the identity of Outer Circle Envoy."

"No matter their origins, they can hunt Outer Realm demons, trading their essence for ample cultivation resources."

"If they achieve enough military merit, they could even become the Primordial Ancestor’s disciple."

The scenario at the foot of Ancestral Mountain is merely a microcosm of the Five Domains.

Mortals aspire to become Cultivators.

Cultivators yearn for Ancestral Mountain.

They continually cultivate.

For longevity, freedom, and slaying demons.

These three become beliefs in the hearts of all Cultivators.

With the development of sects, this world’s atmosphere gradually shifts towards a Cultivation Realm.

Only there are now more tales of Cultivators slaying sinister demons.

"Abundant blood feast..."

Outside the circle, a pair of blood-red eyes greedily stare at the beings inside.

At this moment, sword lights inside the circle intensify...
