Within the void, a Great Thousand World operated stably.
"Let's call this world the Nine Provinces!" Cang Li Shi said.
"The Nine Provinces Realm? Excellent!" Yue Jian Shi said, clapping his hands.
Jiutou Shi, who had just slain a Fierce Beast, had no objections either.
And so, the name of this world was settled.
As for the Golden Immortal-level Fierce Beast slain by Jiutou Shi, it would naturally be used to nourish the Nine Provinces Realm.
With the flesh and blood of a Golden Immortal-level Fierce Beast to nourish it, the Nine Provinces Realm became more complete.
The world's power could be clearly felt to have strengthened.
It was a pity that the dimensions of the Nine Provinces Realm were not yet on par with the Primordial Era.
But it was barely enough for some clan members to survive.
For the time being, the Humans migrating to this Nine Provinces Realm should not exceed one million, otherwise, it would be difficult to be self-sufficient.
Compared to the outside world, it was naturally far inferior, but this world was opened by the Human Emperor and belonged to the Human Race.
Resources were scarce, but there was no need to be as vigilant as in the outside world.
Of course, it was also not appropriate to migrate the entire clan to this world. If the world were to collapse, wouldn't that be a total loss?
Great Thousand Worlds also experienced cycles of formation, existence, destruction, and emptiness.
Moreover, the Primordial Era was vast, with Great Experts emerging one after another. There were countless strong individuals who could destroy a Great Thousand World with a flick of their fingers.
If they were unlucky, a Great Expert might be fighting nearby, and the residual shockwaves could cause the Nine Provinces Realm to be destroyed.
Therefore, opening up a Great Thousand World was necessary, but one could not rely on it too much.
Next, Cang Li Shi and Yue Jian Shi both took up residence in the Nine Provinces Realm, regulating the Yin and Yang and conforming to the Heavenly Timing.
Jiutou Shi returned to his tribe.
With the Nine Provinces Realm established, Jiutou Shi had many arrangements to make for his clan members.
Everything was for the development of the Human Race!
In the sky, a great sun shone brightly, its radiance illuminating everything.
Another portion of Merit was earned, but Lu Yang remained calm.
As the Sun Star, he benefited the Primordial Era every day. Was it reasonable for the Heavenly Dao to reward Merit? It was extremely reasonable.
With more Merit, it was just a number to Lu Yang.
Alas, it was just so simple and unpretentious.
He had always felt bored.
So he used his Golden Crow avatar to find some amusement to pass the time.
Regarding his two avatars, Lu Ya was still traveling, but he was no longer at Buzhou Mountain and was preparing to visit the Southern Wilderness.
Di Jun was cultivating on the Sun Star, accumulating Magic Power to assume Human Form.
This time, Lu Yang did not use any Magic Power to help Di Jun assume Human Form.
Although avatars and the main body did not need to be distinguished, he still intended to let Di Jun cultivate and assume Human Form on his own this time.
The refinement of Magic Treasures such as the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler and the River Diagram and Luo Book was also continuing.
The most difficult Magic Treasure to refine was the Chaos Bell.
After all, it was an Innate Supreme Treasure!
Even a Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal would need several hundred years to completely refine an Innate Supreme Treasure.
Speaking of which, if one could completely refine an Innate Supreme Treasure and use the Supreme Treasure as an avatar, their Magic Power would be at least tens of millions of eons! They would be much more powerful than Lu Yang was now.
As for the advancement of his Dao Cultivation, it was not worth mentioning.
He was still far from reaching the threshold of the Grand Unity Dao Fruit, let alone the Grand Unity Dao Fruit.
Suddenly, Lu Yang noticed a surge of Innate Demonic Qi in the starry sky.
"Huh?"
Adjusting his vision, he saw Rahula's figure appear among the stars, flying towards the outer realm.
Currently, Rahula did not yet have the title of Demon Ancestor, but he was already a top Great Expert in the Primordial Era.
However, what was Rahula doing in the Outer Chaos?
Lu Yang couldn't help but speculate.
Could Rahula be going to the Outer Realm to break through to Quasi-Sage?
Rahula was definitely far beyond an ordinary Grand Unity now, and could break through to Quasi-Sage at any moment.
If he were to break through to Quasi-Sage in the Primordial Era, there would inevitably be some anomalies, but breaking through in the Outer Realm would make it easier to play the role of a hidden dragon.
From Lu Yang's observation, Rahula was currently keeping a very low profile, quite the 'turtle'.
After a moment, Rahula had already passed through the Primordial Era's world barrier and gone to the Outer Realm.
The Outer Realm was a vast expanse of gray, with violent Chaos Qi surging.
From time to time, there was also Chaos Divine Thunder and Chaos Divine Fire, or even Chaos Storms.
When Lu Yang peered into the Outer Realm, it was all blurry.
He felt that even the murkiest parts of the Primordial Era were clearer than Chaos.
As for the dangers within Chaos, they were truly awe-inspiring.
Even those who had attained the Grand Unity Dao Fruit would be annihilated by the erosion of Chaos if they ventured in.
Although Grand Unity Golden Immortals were indestructible through countless tribulations, Chaos clearly transcended 'tribulations'.
Let alone mere Grand Unity Golden Immortals, even Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortals were not absolutely immortal and undying. If Pangu were here, it would be a matter of one axe strike.
But even someone as powerful as Pangu was merely an ant beneath the Great Dao.
If one could attain the Great Dao, they could extinguish countless Pangus with a mere breath.
It was no wonder Pangu had sought to attain the Great Dao.
The Primordial Era was changing with each passing day, starlight twinkling.
Several Primordial Days passed.
Rahula also returned from the Outer Realm.
Lu Yang saw Rahula holding a pagoda as black as ink. The pagoda had ten layers, emanating powerful demonic qi.
Pagoda-Bearing Demon Ancestor, this was a bit of a deviation from the usual.
Lu Yang's attention, however, was fixed on the pagoda in Rahula's hand.
"This demonic qi..."
"Outer Realm Heavenly Demon, that's right."
"There are definitely Outer Realm Heavenly Demons within the pagoda Rahula is holding, and judging by the demonic qi, there are likely tens of thousands of Heavenly Demons in the pagoda."
"His intention?"
Lu Yang's heart was unsettled.
He had thought Rahula went to the Outer Realm to improve his cultivation, but he hadn't expected him to visit the Heavenly Demon Realm.
Capturing myriad Outer Realm Heavenly Demons, what was Rahula trying to do?
Looking closely at the pagoda in Rahula's hand, it should be a Postnatal Spiritual Treasure.
"Could Rahula be trying to forge an Innate Spiritual Treasure?" Lu Yang's mind stirred.
Refining an Innate Spiritual Treasure was very difficult, it wasn't just about having Innate Material.
From the beginning of heaven and earth until now, the Primordial Era had no shortage of Innate Material.
But Innate Material was merely the exterior of an Innate Spiritual Treasure; the core was the Innate restriction and the Undying Spiritual Light.
To put it metaphorically, the core of a Primordial Spirit was a wisp of True Spirit, and the core of an Innate Spiritual Treasure was a wisp of Innate Undying Spiritual Light.
As for the Laws contained within an Innate Spiritual Treasure, they were formed by Innate restrictions.
Therefore, if even one restriction was missing from an Innate Spiritual Treasure, it could cause the Laws within the treasure to disappear.
If one could forge an Innate Spiritual Treasure before the Heavenly Dao came online, it was relatively easy. But with the Heavenly Dao online, it would not permit anyone to forge Innate Spiritual Treasures in the Primordial Era.
However, if one were to forge an Innate Spiritual Treasure in the Outer Chaos, the Primordial Heavenly Dao naturally couldn't interfere, and the Great Dao wouldn't either.
The problem was the difficulty!
Forging an Innate Spiritual Treasure in the Primordial Era was like a drop of water, but in the Outer Chaos, it could be an ocean.
Lu Yang also fell into thought.
If Rahula was indeed trying to forge an Innate Spiritual Treasure, with his current Magic Power and Divine Abilities, he certainly couldn't do it in the Outer Chaos. It was only possible in the Primordial Era.
Doing it openly and honestly would be impossible, but if he could 'Steal Heaven and Change Sun', the problem wouldn't be too big.
Ultimately, the Heavenly Dao was just a 'Rule'.
Therefore, there were loopholes in the Heavenly Dao that could be exploited.
But the difficulty of exploiting the Heavenly Dao's loopholes was, needless to say, immense.
Descending from the Heavenly Realm, Rahula returned to Mount Sumeru.
Mount Sumeru was not a single mountain but a mountain range.
Even the smallest peak of Mount Sumeru was over eighty thousand yojanas high.
And there were hundreds of millions of lower worlds operating within Mount Sumeru.
For the operation of hundreds of millions of lower worlds within Mount Sumeru, Mount Sumeru was the universe's central hub, the axis around which the sun, moon, and stars rotated, and the Ganges River descended from the heavens.
Upon closer inspection, the lower layers of Mount Sumeru consisted of a layer of qi, known as the wind wheel. Above the wind wheel was a layer of water, called the water wheel. Above the water wheel was a layer of gold, or hard stone, known as the gold wheel. Above the gold wheel lay the Great Earth, composed of mountains, oceans, and continents.
In the four directions of Mount Sumeru, there was the void color.
Rare and strange beasts could also be seen frolicking within the mountain.
Colorful clouds filled the sky, auspicious energy stretched for a thousand miles, and divine light blazed for ten thousand zhang.
Returning to Mount Sumeru, Rahula looked at the treasure pagoda in his hand.
Ten thousand demons were trapped within the pagoda.
He intended to transform this pagoda from a Supreme Postnatal Spiritual Treasure into a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure.
The difficulty was immense, but not impossible for Rahula.
"It can be called the Myriad Demon Pagoda," Rahula murmured to himself.
As for the Heavenly Demon Realm in the outer realms, there were still a few strong experts, but they posed no significant threat to Rahula.
Withdrawing his gaze, Rahula utilized the terrain of Mount Sumeru and multiple great formations to "Steal Heaven and Change Sun," facilitating his treasure refining.
