Tianyuan World

After accepting Yi Yun as a disciple, Su Jie did not immediately head to the Tianyuan Realm. Instead, he searched everywhere in the Yunhuang, hoping to find those who had entered the secret realm with him. Unfortunately, however, they were all gone.

This made Su Jie sigh, especially Marquis Wen Yun Li Wenyun was an old friend of his.

He and Li Wenyun ventured into the Tianyuan Realm together, exploring many secret realms. Later, Li Wenyun was ennobled in the Tianyuan Realm, while Su Jie became a respected figure among the major powers as the Savage Heaven Master. Both of them achieved considerable success.

At this time, Marquis Wen Yun was injured and old, so he returned to the Tai'a Divine Kingdom to live in seclusion. Hundreds of years passed before he returned. Two years ago, when Yunhuang Purple Cloud Emergence, Marquis Wen Yun invited Su Jie to explore the secret realm. However, to everyone's surprise, this secret realm turned out to be a forbidden area.

Su Jie guessed that this was an ancient sealed place, but he had no idea what was sealed inside.

After Su Jie entered the secret realm, he quickly lost contact with his old friends. Later, he was trapped in a purple barrier and only managed to escape now.

As for whether his old friends are alive or dead, Su Jie has no way of knowing now.

Let's go!

Su Jie sighed. Having reached his level of cultivation and lived for tens of thousands of years, he had become indifferent to life and death.

Yi Yun remained silent; at this moment, he didn't know what to say.

Su Jie took out a Floating Sky Ship from his Space Ring, activated the formation, and the airship soared into the sky.

They flew to Tianyuan, a journey that took several months, even though they passed through some Long-distance Teleportation Array along the way.

Along the way, Su Jie stopped and started, and learned a lot of things.

Last night, in the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom, and several surrounding smaller kingdoms, purple light shot into the sky in many places.

Among them, the purple light of the Divine Wilderness was the most terrifying. It was like a road to heaven, illuminating the world and making people feel shocked and terrified.

After the Purple Light, the Divine Wilderness brought Purple Cloud Emergence, a scene even grander than the Purple Cloud Emergence Yunhuang.

In this way, Su Jie understood that the secret realm he had entered was probably related to the strange phenomena of heaven and earth last night.

Not only does Yunhuang have secret realms, but several other places also have similar secret realms, and these secret realms are connected together.

The Desolate Clan did something in the Tai'a Divine City that triggered this extraordinary phenomenon, which also affected several other secret realms millions of miles away, creating a distant echo.

It was because of the purple light that shot into the sky that the secret realm where Su Jie was trapped changed, the purple barrier disappeared, and he was able to escape.

As for the Shepherd Boy, after rescuing Yi Yun in Chuzhou City and placing Yi Yun in Yunhuang, he should have rushed to Tai'a Divine City to plan for this strange phenomenon.

The strange phenomenon triggered Su Jie's escape, and he happened to run into Yi Yun, who was also in Yunhuang and had been drawn there by the purple light of the secret realm.

All of this, while seemingly coincidental, is not entirely unexpected.

The Floating Sky Ship sped along, Yi Yun stood quietly at the porthole. The airship swept past stretches of wilderness and forests, and arrived above an ocean.

In his previous life, Yi Yun had naturally seen the ocean, but the sea Yi Yun saw was completely different from the sea in this world.

In my past life, the sea was prone to storms. Even when there was no wind, the waves were always surging and never stopped.

But this sea was completely different; it was too calm, without the slightest ripple, eerily calm.

Moreover, the seawater was a pale red, like blood dissolved in water—a shocking sight.

"This sea is called the 'Undying Sea'," Su Jie said from behind Yi Yun. "It's called the 'Undying Sea' because no one can cross it. Although we are flying above the Sea of the Undying Sea now, what we actually see is just a small section of the strait between the Divine Wilderness and the Tianyuan Realm."

"To the north lies the true Undying Sea. This sea is boundless and endless, utterly desolate, with very few fish, shrimp, or seaweed. In the depths of the Undying Sea lurks some mutated wild beasts, the level of which is difficult to measure. Even if I were to reach the depths of the Undying Sea, it would be extremely dangerous."

"There was once a human Great Emperor who wanted to fly across the Undying Sea to explore its depths. However, he flew for seven or eight years. The deeper he flew into the Undying Sea, the thinner the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi became. Without the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, the Great Emperor would gradually weaken and eventually had to turn back halfway..."

Su Jie recounted the legend of the Undying Sea, then added, "To the south of this Undying Sea, there is a land bridge connecting it to the Divine Wilderness, and the Tai'a Divine Kingdom and the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom are located on this land bridge..."

As Su Jie spoke, Yi Yun was alarmed. No wonder the Shepherd Boy wanted to destroy the Tai'a Divine Kingdom and connect the Divine Wilderness with the Tianyuan Realm.

It's hard to imagine how vast the Divine Wilderness is. The Tai'a Divine Kingdom, spanning millions of miles, is merely a part of the continental bridge connecting the Divine Wilderness to the Tianyuan Realm.

During the flight, Su Jie told Yi Yun many rumors about this world, and the introduction about the Tianyuan Realm greatly surprised Yi Yun.

The reason why Tianyuan Realm is called "Realm" instead of Tianyuan Continent is because Tianyuan Realm is actually very different from the region where Tai'a Divine Kingdom is located.

Although Tianyuan Realm Tai'a Divine Kingdom Tai'a Divine Kingdom are both in the same world and even connected by a continental bridge, their laws are actually quite different.

The Tianyuan Realm exists as an independent system. In the Tianyuan Realm, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi is more concentrated, but also more violent, making it difficult to control.

In the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, a martial artist who could slash Sword Qi ten zhang long would probably only have Sword Qi five zhang long in the Tianyuan Realm. The same goes for perception. Even martial artists Heavenly Eye can only detect a much smaller range when they use their senses to explore their surroundings compared to the Tai'a Divine Kingdom.

"Why are there such strange rules?" Yi Yun found it hard to imagine how there could be such a huge difference within the same world.

"I don't know." Su Jie shook his head. "Actually, the Tianyuan Realm didn't exist at first. It was formed later. The spacetime in the Tianyuan Realm is more stable than other places, and the rare and precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures nurtured by the violent primordial energy are also more valuable."

"This place is like a higher-level world. Martial artists cultivate in the Tianyuan Realm, enduring the pressure brought by the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi for a long time. They have better resources and better inheritances, so the Tianyuan Realm has become the central area for human martial artists. The number of experts here is far greater than that of other regions."

"In a region like the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, a powerful Lineage can establish a nation, claim royalty, and rule as a family. But that's not possible in the Tianyuan Realm."

" In the Tianyuan Realm, there are no countries because there are too many powerful Lineage here. Even a powerful Lineage like the Shentu Family can only occupy a small territory."

"The competition among the various powers is fierce. As a result, a situation has arisen in the Tianyuan Realm where numerous Lineage exist. Many Lineage fight for their own interests, but there are also alliances formed through marriage."

"Through such cycles of division and reunification, birth and death, new Lineage are born and old Lineage perish. Some of these super Lineage have survived in this struggle, their foundations are terrifyingly deep. However, even such Lineage cannot establish a country. Once they establish a country and become emperors in the Tianyuan Realm, they are very likely to be besieged by other Lineage."

After Su Jie's explanation, Yi Yun suddenly understood. So that's how it is... No wonder when Tianyuan Realm is mentioned, people talk about the Shentu Family and the Lin family. The names of these Lineage naturally sound much weaker than those of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom.

However, in terms of strength, they far surpass the Tai'a Divine Kingdom.

"Kid!" Su Jie patted Yi Yun on the shoulder and said, "The Lin family and the Shentu Family are actually quite close. The two Lineage have been fighting each other for most of the years, but they also formed an alliance for common interests before. If you go to the Lin family, things will get interesting."

Su Jie said half-jokingly. Yi Yun listened and remained silent. His journey to the Tianyuan Realm had not even begun, yet it was already destined to be full of challenges and hardships, but of course, there were also opportunities!

"Look, the sea is starting to become less calm; we are slowly approaching the Tianyuan Realm."

Looking out the porthole, Yi Yun saw that the red seawater was beginning to ripple, somewhat like ocean waves.

"Below the Tianyuan Realm lies a massive black vortex called the God Burying Abyss! This name isn't just for show; even immortals who go there never return."

"The God Burying Abyss is located deep within the Undying Sea. This whirlpool is terrifying; its depths are pitch black. It's like a portal to another world, endlessly swallowing seawater, yet no one knows where it takes it."

"That vortex has a terrifying suction force. If the Great Emperor gets too close, he will be sucked in and fall into that seemingly endless abyss, never to return!"

"The God Burying Abyss is named after it!"

What exactly lies within the God Burying Abyss remains unknown, and the God Burying Abyss of those who entered it—whether they lived or died—is also unclear.

"Some believe that the God Burying Abyss is not a dead end, but a passage with no return. Through it, one can travel to another world. Thus, some Great Emperor with little lifespan left enter the God Burying Abyss when their time is up, wanting to see what is inside and hoping to find some kind of opportunity that can prolong their lives."

As Su Jie finished speaking, Yi Yun was secretly alarmed.

Undying Sea... God Burying Abyss...

Originally, in Yi Yun's mind, the Great Emperor was an existence that was difficult to reach. However, after hearing what Su Jie said, there was such a desperate situation in this world alone, which even the Great Emperor could not overcome.

This is the power of creation or the laws of nature, inspiring awe!

As the flying boat moved forward, the Undying Sea became increasingly turbulent. This was naturally due to the God Burying Abyss, where a huge whirlpool had stirred up a tide that had even reached this place, and its terrifying extent was unimaginable.

At that moment, Yi Yun saw a towering cliff emerging from the hazy sea mist in the distance.

This cliff is tens of thousands of feet high, like a divine wall, towering between the sky and the sea.

"That's the Tianyuan Realm! The Tianyuan Realm is located above the God Burying Abyss. A significant portion of the vast landmass you see floats on the sea. No one knows what force is supporting the Tianyuan Realm and preventing it from sinking..."

(There are quite a few settings, many of which are foreshadowing and setups. It's difficult to write chapters without a plot.)
