The New World, the Divine Prison Realm, and Three New Talents
Chen Du returned to the Azure High Martial World, but deep within Mount Tai, another figure slowly emerged from behind the rocks.
That was a man exactly like him, with a calm face and a restrained demeanor.
This is his second clone.
With the current strength of his True Spirit, he can barely create two clones.
Any more and it will damage the foundation. Going from one world to another is simply too slow.
The benefits cannot be maximized.
Now, one clone is exploring the universe, the main body is in the Azure High Martial World, and this new clone is searching for a new world in Mount Tai, advancing on three fronts simultaneously.
He can flexibly choose which world is suitable for peaceful cultivation, which world is suitable for seizing opportunities, and which world requires his intervention.
More choices, more paths. Three figures, three battlefields, advancing simultaneously.
Soon, the second clone found a new world entrance deep within Mount Tai.
[An unexplored independent world has been detected... "The Divine Prison Realm"]
[World Level: Eleventh Tier]
[World Type: Planetary World (This world is detected to be covered by a large number of unknown rules and cannot be resolved)]
[WARNING: This world's level exceeds the host's current world combat strength assessment. Please remain in a state of concealment and explore with caution after entering.]
[Enter?]
The Divine Prison Realm! Eleventh Tier.
Chen Du's clone stood in front of the entrance, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Divine Prison, a cage for the gods?
Or is it a prison for deities?
The name carries an inexplicable sense of oppression.
But he didn't hesitate for long. The Eleventh Tier world suited him perfectly. He raised his hand and pressed it towards the entrance.
"Enter."
Chen Du opened his eyes instantly.
The first thing you see is a dark and damp prison corridor, with rusty iron bars embedded in the stone walls on both sides. Every few steps there is a dim oil lamp, the flame so weak that it can barely illuminate the path under your feet.
The air was thick with the smells of rust, mildew, and some indescribable stench of decay, while in the distance, the faint sounds of chains dragging on the ground and a low groan could be heard.
He found himself slumped on the stone floor at the end of the corridor, wearing a drab jailer's robe, with a bunch of brass keys and a wooden token at his waist.
My head was buzzing, like I'd been hit with a hammer.
Memories flooded back. The original owner of this body Qin Dong, a newly recruited prison guard in the Heavenly Dragon Divine Dynasty's Divine Prison. His cultivation was meager, and he had only been on the job for less than three months.
The Heavenly Dragon Divine Dynasty was incredibly powerful, occupying an unimaginably vast territory.
No one knows how big this world is, nor how many smaller worlds it has conquered.
The Martial Dao of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Dynasty are all-encompassing, with masters as numerous as clouds and powerful figures as plentiful as rain.
The Divine Prison is the place where the Heavenly Dragon Divine Dynasty suppresses serious criminals. It imprisons countless terrifying beings, some of whom are even peerless villains captured from other small worlds.
Qin Dong's body's cultivation level was barely at the first realm, making him even lower than the lowest-ranking servant in the Divine Prison.
A few days ago, he was reprimanded by the warden for slacking off and taking a nap, and was fined three days' salary. Yesterday, he was sent to clean the lowest level cells, and after returning, he fell ill and never recovered.
The original owner was already weak, and the Yin energy in the depths of the Divine Prison was extremely heavy, so he never recovered from this illness.
Chen Du arrived at just the right time.
He slowly propped himself up from the ground, leaned against the cold stone wall, and first assessed the condition of his body. His meridians were weak, his dantian was empty, and his spiritual power was almost zero.
However, his [Celestial Master] Divine Status, [Cangming Abyss] Divine Foundation, Martial Canon, seven major emotional laws, and the spiritual imprint of the Return to the Ruins One were all still present in his True Spirit, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
As long as the True Spirit remains, no matter how poor the foundation of this body is, there will always be a way to make up for it.
He was just about to mobilize a wisp of True Essence to nourish his meridians when he suddenly felt a vibration from the depths of his consciousness on the panel:
[Entered the new world: Divine Prison Realm]
[World Level: Eleventh Tier]
[World Type: Medium-sized planetary world]
[WARNING: The rules of this world differ significantly from those of the worlds the host has experienced before. Please explore with caution.]
[World's Spiritual Endowment Triggered...]
[A talent that resonates with the rules of this world is awakening...]
[Talent Awakening: The Heaven's Way of Righteousness]
[Level: Lv1(0/2)]
[Ability 1: Reward Good and Punish Evil Lv1 (0/2): Slaying the most heinous criminals and rescuing the wronged will grant you the White Qi of Heaven and Earth.]
[Talent Awakening: Heaven's Way of Evil]
[Level: Lv1(0/2)]
[Ability 1: Reward Evil and Punish Good Lv1 (0/2): Rescue the most heinous criminals and slay the unjustly wronged; you will gain access to the Black Qi of heaven and earth.]
[Talent Awakening: Heaven's Way's Gift]
[Level: Lv1(0/2)]
[Ability 1: Black and White Return to Origin Lv1 (0/2): Consuming White Qi or Black Qi grants a reward from this world. Both White Qi and Black Qi can be used independently, with different forms of feedback, but both can significantly enhance one's strength.]
Chen Du leaned against the cold stone wall, piecing together the fragments of information about the Heavenly Dragon Divine Dynasty's Martial Dao system from his mind.
The Martial Dao of this world are divided into Eleventh Realms.
The first realm, the Body Tempering Realm, is the initial tempering of the body, from the outside in, solidifying the skin, flesh, tendons, and bones one by one. When it reaches its Peak Stage and perfection, the Qi sinks to the Dantian, and one becomes as immovable as a mountain. Martial Fighter at this realm can lift a thousand catties and shatter bluestone with their fists.
The second realm, the Inscription Realm, progresses from coarse to fine, further strengthening the body and making the skin texture intricate, as if engraved with inscriptions. Those who have mastered the Engraving Realm can withstand sword cuts and gallop like wild horses.
The Third Realm, the Mercury Blood Realm, is characterized by the internal energy flowing like mercury and possessing considerable power. The blood is as thick as mercury, yet lighter in weight, with energy and blood condensed and unified. Breaking through this realm requires overcoming a tribulation known as "Clay Bodhisattva Crossing the River."
The Fourth Realm, the Soul Tempering Realm, condenses a heroic soul, enhances fighting will, and the soul begins to transform, allowing one to perceive subtle changes within a radius of several feet.
The Fifth Realm, the Soul Nurturing Realm, is characterized by a powerful and vigorous aura, enhancing strength. The blood and spirit merge, and the attacks carry an inherent pressure that can intimidate lower-level Martial Fighter.
The Sixth Realm, the Blazing Gall Realm. Possessing fearless courage, one becomes more decisive in battle. Once Fierce Courage is achieved, one has entered the hall of Martial Dao, capable of taking the head of a general amidst a vast army.
The Seventh Realm, the Vajra Realm, also known as the Lesser Grandmaster, is characterized by a physical body as tough as Vajra, impervious to ordinary swords and blades, and immune to water and fire. It also allows for short-range aerial maneuvering.
The Eighth Realm, the Sky Soaring Realm, marks the beginning of touching upon the power of the laws.
The Ninth Realm, the Martial Law Domain Realm, allows one to unleash a domain of laws as their mastery of those laws deepens during the process of further comprehending lower-level laws.
The lower-level laws are divided into nine grades, and each grade is further divided into nine levels. The Martial Law Domain Realm requires cultivating the second-level lower-level law domain to the ninth level before one can step into the next step.
The Tenth Realm is the First Martial Law Realm. The so-called "first" refers to the Lower First-Level Laws. Only by comprehending the Lower First-Level Laws can one be considered to have crossed the threshold of intermediate core laws.
The Eleventh Realm, the Martial Arts Master Realm, is sufficient to comprehend enough to become the master of Lower First-Level Law, and to comprehend Medium Core Level Nine Law.
It is itself the law, it is itself the Heavenly Dao.
It is said that upon reaching this realm, one lives as long as heaven and earth, coexists with the Great Dao, and can open the heavens with a single thought or destroy the world with a single thought.
The Heavenly Dragon Divine Dynasty has existed for hundreds of millions of years. Its founding emperor was from this place, and no one has set foot here since.
Chen Du memorized these realms one by one, and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
His current body is not even able to stand firmly in the first stage of the Body Tempering Realm.
The road ahead was long, but he didn't care.
