"I didn't interrupt the red-clad woman's music. If I'm not mistaken, within the range of her music, anyone weaker than her and without a supreme treasure has a very small chance of escaping, similar to your spatial confinement."
"You're talking about a domain? Could that woman in red actually use a domain?"
"Domain?" Taichu repeated.
"That's right. Some powerful families have their own domains, but they are rarely encountered in daily life, and even I can't remember them right now."
"It seems we've encountered no ordinary cultivator today. We must remain cautious in this Hundun!"
Just as they were talking, a pool of spring water appeared before them.
Could this be the legendary "Chaos Nurturing Spring"?
At this moment, there are already some cultivators cultivating near the Chaos Nurturing Spring.
The spring exudes a misty, spiritual aura, and seems to be surrounded by auspicious light.
Taichu took a step forward, intending to reach out and touch the spring water, but was stopped by someone beside him. "Don't rush, this spring is so mysterious, it may be dangerous to touch it rashly."
Taichu was puzzled by the man's evasive words. "Oh, fellow Daoist, you must be exaggerating. I see all these cultivators here comprehending the Dao, so why would we be in danger?"
"Because if I disagree, you will be in danger!"
Following the sound, Taichu and the others saw a middle-aged Daoist with powerful magic and a robust physique standing before them.
"Who are you? Why are you preventing us from approaching the Chaos Nurturing Spring?" Xuan Yuan questioned the newcomer.
"This spring is under my guard; how dare you covet it? Moreover, the power contained within this Chaos Nurturing Spring is beyond your control. If you forcibly draw upon it, you will only be devoured by its spiritual energy. Retreat at once!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked doubtful. Taichu's eyes sharpened as he looked at the newcomer. "That is our business, so there's no need for you to worry about it, fellow Daoist."
As soon as Taichu finished speaking, a voice came from the sky.
"Skybright God-King, you're exaggerating. When did this Chaos Nurturing Spring become part of your Nine Yang World?"
As the voice faded, a man and a woman landed on the spot. Taichu looked at them and saw that both of them possessed unfathomable magical power.
The Skybright God-King Kongming snorted coldly, "I advise you, High Heaven World, not to meddle in other people's business."
"Kongming, I'm too lazy to meddle in your affairs, but since you're so arrogant, this God-King has to take action."
The Skybright God-King ignored him, since he was all alone.
Taichu crossed his arms and looked calm.
"Skybright God-King, we have come here today with good preparation. This Chaos Nurturing Spring is not within the Nine Yang World, nor does it belong to you alone."
The Skybright God-King Kongming laughed in fury, "What a fool you are! Then don't blame me for being impolite."
After saying that, a powerful surge of magical energy erupted from his body, sweeping towards Taichu and the others like a surging tide.
Taichu and the others were shocked, knowing that they were no match for him. Just as Six-Eared Macaque was about to summon the Nine-Headed Lin, a beam of light shattered the palm strike.
At this moment, Starfall Fairy, who had been standing at the back without saying a word, slowly stepped forward:
"Skybright God-King, I have heard that every ten million years, this Chaos Nurturing Spring will release a stream of pure spiritual energy, enough to nourish a region. You have monopolized this place for many years. Is it not for your own selfish desires?"
The Skybright God-King Kongming was slightly taken aback, then sneered, "Hmph, what does a little woman know? If the power of the Spirit Nourishing Spring falls into the hands of others, it will lead to the destruction of countless lives."
"What a joke! If it falls into the hands of others, it will cause widespread suffering. If it falls into the hands of your Nine Yang World, there will probably be no living beings left."
Enraged, the Skybright God-King said, "Red Feather, you have repeatedly opposed me. Do you intend to become an enemy of my Nine Yang World?"
Akabane, however, showed no fear, his wings unfurling behind him in a dazzling display:
"Kongming, don't try to intimidate me with the Nine Yang World. The place where the Chaos Nurturing Spring is located is a Chaos Ancient Ruins. Your Nine Yang World is trying to monopolize it. My High Heaven World will be the first to object. If you want to use force, then this God King will accompany you."
The Skybright God-King felt a chill in his heart. He did have some concerns. Other realms had long coveted the Spirit Nurturing Spring, but they dared not act rashly because they were wary of each other.
But now Akabane has openly stated that if he continues to try to monopolize power, he may become a public enemy in the future.
Just as the stalemate was reaching its peak, a strange light suddenly appeared in the distant sky, as if a powerful energy was emanating from it.
Everyone was startled and turned to look. A group of people dressed in black robes adorned with mysterious runes slowly flew towards them. The leader spoke in a low voice:
"Our Dark Shadow Clan has also set its sights on this Spirit Nourishing Spring. Everyone, please stop for now."
The Skybright God-King's face was terribly gloomy. He hadn't expected the Dark Shadow Clan to suddenly appear out of nowhere, making the situation even more complicated and chaotic.
Starfall Fairy looked at everyone and stepped forward. "The Chaos Ancient Ruins depend on fate, and the Spirit Nurturing Spring is no exception. Everyone should just go with the flow."
The various groups of people each found a place to sit down.
Taichu walked up to the Red Feather God King and the Starfall Fairy, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you both for speaking up for justice. We are extremely grateful."
The group returned the greeting and then began to chat.
"You said you come from another world?" The Red Feather God King looked at Taichu and the others with curiosity.
"Indeed, I wonder if the Red Feather God King could tell us about the origins of the God King?"
The Red Feather God King glanced at Taichu, then at the others:
"Then let me tell you, the first to eighth level of the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal are Divine Generals, the ninth to eleventh level are Divine Kings, and the twelfth level is the Divine Emperor."
"Generally, those who reach the God-Emperor level are at least the controllers of a Great Thousand World. In addition to their own cultivation, they can also absorb the faith power of the entire world."
"Above the God Emperor is the Heavenly Dao Realm, and within the Heavenly Dao Realm lies the True Lord. True Lords are generally the controllers of small, perfect worlds,"
"Even the weakest small perfect world has at least one True Lord and several God Emperors. Currently, the strongest one is the West City True Lord in our High Heaven World."
"Our West City God Domain has three True Lords and twenty Divine Emperors; therefore, our West City True Lord is also the most likely True Lord to become a half-step Great Dao True Lord."
"Is the divine realm you speak of a miniature perfect world?"
"Yes, that's right. Here, a small perfect world can only be considered a divine realm."
"Judging from yourselves, you are only at the level of a Divine General. You are at the sixth level of the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, so you are a sixth-rank Divine General, and so on. Do you understand?"
Taichu Yang Mei and the others heard what the Red Feather God King had to say, they all bowed. They hadn't expected the Red Feather God King to be so talkative.
Taichu glanced at the Red Feather God King and asked, "Then what is the origin of this Dark Shadow Clan?"
The Red Feather God King frowned slightly, his expression becoming serious.
"This Dark Shadow Clan, also known as the Hundun Ghosts, was born in the Dark Abyss. It is said that their Old Ancestor, the Black Fiend God, was a being at the Half-Step Great Dao Realm."
"They are naturally adept at concealing their presence and ambushing their opponents from the shadows."
Taichu and the others were startled; this characteristic was indeed troublesome in battle.
