As far as the eye could see stretched a boundless desert, devoid of human traces. Dust swirled through the air, and not a blade of grass grew.
Only the occasional wandering ant or four-legged lizard scurrying about proved that life still existed here.
Xiao Chi led the powerful cultivators in ascending here, and all of them stood frozen in a daze.
Only after a long while did they recover, staring blankly at their surroundings.
"Sect Master, this... this is the Upper Realm?"
"Brother, did we ascend to the wrong place?"
"How could such a desolate Yellow Sand Land be the Upper Realm?"
For a time, voices overlapped without end.
"Extreme Dao, is this a low-level Great World?"
Master, this is indeed a Great World. This place is a region in the north of the Great World known as the Barren Region, and it is boundlessly vast.
"Barren Region? Are there any traces of Human Clan life?"
Reporting to Master, this Great World is divided into four regions: the Starry Sky Region, Eagle Horn Region, Time-Space Region, and this Barren Region. As this Barren Region is unsuitable for survival, the Human Clan and other living races all reside in the other three regions. This Barren Region is also called the Dead Region. The entire region is covered in yellow sand. Perhaps people hiding from enemies or those utterly vicious individuals may conceal themselves here, but they are very few in number and do not venture about freely.
"..."
"Why did we descend into this Barren Region after ascending?"
Reporting to Master, the divine light of Jie Yin was tampered with just now.
"Hmm? Do you know who did it?"
``` As Little Dao has not yet fully recovered, it cannot be detected for now.
