Immortal: No need for that, everyone. Although I know the Myriad Realms exist, I cannot travel to other worlds yet.

Indeed, for now, Bai Yu could only rely on the Dimensional Gateway to travel to other worlds.

To leave the Grand Primordial Cosmos and reach another world of the Myriad Heavens through his own power, he would have to be a Daluo Golden Immortal who had comprehended a Source Great Dao.

What was a Daluo Golden Immortal?

An Immortal eternally undying and indestructible across all space and time—one who roamed endless space and time in eternal freedom.

A Daluo Golden Immortal could cross the Myriad Heavens Chaos Sea and traverse the Endless Void to reach the other worlds of the three thousand worlds.

As for a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal who had fully mastered a Source Great Dao, he could know all things throughout the Myriad Heavens with a single thought.

Across the three thousand worlds, he could behold past, present, and future with his eyes and unfold Hunyuan in his palm.

At the stir of a thought, the Great Dao would transform: limitless and immeasurable, beyond birth and death. He could return to the silent void or gather and disperse at will, undying and unperishing through ten thousand calamities.

He transcended the space and time of the Myriad Heavens. No Cause and Effect of the Myriad Heavens could cling to him. He wandered beyond all things, unbound by the Reincarnation of the Myriad Heavens, eternal and everlasting.

Anyone who spoke his true name would be known to him and marked by him, even across endless space and time and countless heavens.

Of course, Bai Yu still did not know whether the future Six Sages of the Heavens in his Grand Primordial World would become Sages by fully mastering a Great Dao, or through the Heavenly Dao's grace and merit.

What was the difference between a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal of the Great Dao Realm and a Sage made through Heavenly Dao Merit?

Bai Yu did not know, nor did he dwell on it. It did not matter to him. However the future Six Sages of the Heavens became Sages, he would attain Sagehood by mastering a Source Great Dao. He would become a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal!

He would reach the Great Dao Realm.

Demon Lord: You can't do it now. That doesn't mean you never will.

Lord of Divine Law: @Immortal; even the Sages in my world cannot travel to other worlds of the Myriad Heavens. May I ask, Immortal Exalted, is there a realm above Sagehood?

Despite their brief exchange, Bai Yu had spoken without a lofty air. He seemed gentle and composed, easy to get along with.

Still, Yang Jian had the sense to address Bai Yu as "Immortal Exalted."

It was plainly a title of respect.

Likewise, although everyone in the group knew Yang Jian's name, they addressed him by his honorific rather than calling him by name.

That was the least respect a powerful being deserved.

It was also simply how one dealt with people.

Chonglou was different. Proud and unruly, he was in the same realm as Yang Jian. The two often discussed the Dao and knew each other well. They were close enough to use each other's names.

But that was because both Chonglou and Yang Jian were Daluo Golden Immortals—beings on the same level.

This world had always been rigidly ranked, with classes everywhere.

Beauty and ugliness, poverty and wealth, strength and weakness—it was all the same!

Perhaps because the Chat Group still had few members, everyone currently got along well.

And Immortals like Chonglou and Yang Jian did not openly scorn or mock Lin Jiu and Xiongba, who had yet to become Immortals.

But could they truly feel not even the slightest trace of contempt in their hearts?

Clearly, that was impossible.

Once the Chat Group had grown and gained more members, little circles would naturally form over time.

Even now, Yang Jian and Chonglou could be called a circle of their own. They often discussed the Dao, while Lin Jiu and Xiongba could neither join in nor dare to.

Even Lord of the Moon Sect and Crown Prince Changqin lacked both the standing and the ability to discuss the Dao with two Thirteenth Tier experts like Yang Jian and Chonglou.

It was harsh, but it was true.

The members fell silent at Yang Jian's words. Even Chonglou went quiet.

After all, they all knew what sort of beings Sages were.

Shi Yueyao badly wanted to tell Yang Jian that the Sages of his world were different from those of a true Grand Primordial World.

Immortal: The Sages of your world may differ from those of mine.

Lord of Divine Law: May I ask how they differ, Immortal Exalted?

Immortal: I don't know how the cultivation realms in your world are divided. Tell me.

Lord of Divine Law: Celestial Immortal, Mystic Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Daluo Golden Immortal, Quasi-Sage, Sage.

Xiongba and Lin Jiu were somewhat speechless when they saw Yang Jian's reply. Seriously? He started straight from Immortals? Mortals didn't even count?

That felt oddly personal.

Of course, cultivation realms existed below Immortals in Yang Jian's world. He had simply ignored them without a second thought.

Lord of Divine Law: My current realm is Daluo Golden Immortal.

Call Me Group Master: The Immortal Exalted is at the Seventeenth Tier, while you're at the Thirteenth Tier. (smile.jpg)

Lord of Divine Law: ???!!!

Demon Lord: !!!!!!!!!!

Crown Prince Changqin: ?????????

Lord of the Moon Sect: ???!!!!!!

Maoshan Celestial Master: !!!!!???????

World Conqueror: ????????!!!!!!

Shi Yueyao's words plunged the Chat Group into a long silence.

Bai Yu said nothing either.

After a long while, Yang Jian finally broke the silence.

Lord of Divine Law: @Immortal; you... you're... a Sage?

Demon Lord: Yang Jian, aren't the Sages of your world at the Sixteenth Tier?

Maoshan Celestial Master: Hiss... A being above even Sages?! Three Pure Ones above, this humble Daoist...

Call Me Group Master: That's the difference between worlds. (mysterious.jpg)

Demon Lord: What do you mean, Group Master?

Lord of Divine Law: I'd like to know too. What do you mean by that, Group Master?

Every member paid close attention, waiting for the Group Master's answer.

Only Bai Yu knew what she meant.

Indeed, it was the difference between worlds. The gulf between a Grand Cosmos and a Greater World was unimaginably vast, beyond reach—as far apart as heaven and mud.

Call Me Group Master: Ahem. All right, then. This fairy will teach you the basics of the Myriad Realms. (haughty.jpg)

Bai Yu smiled faintly and shook his head when he saw the Group Master's haughty pose. He said nothing and let the little Group Master show off.

Call Me Group Master: (teaching.jpg) The Myriad Realms are divided into three thousand worlds, ranked as Grand, Greater, and Lesser...

The lesson soon ended. The group members now understood what the three thousand worlds were and how worlds were ranked.

But as the saying went, ignorance could sometimes be bliss—a stroke of luck, even. The more one knew, the more troubles one had.
