Xu Yi said, "Brother He, I have a question. You said some time ago that the reason this Heavenly God Hall was divided into four halls—the Heavenly God Hall, Earth Pillar Hall, Mystic Desolation Hall, and Yellow Pole Hall—was not because they formed naturally, but because powerful cultivators of later generations named them."
"Since the main part of the Heavenly God Hall is the cave abode of a powerful cultivator, isn't it far too vast? Back in the Yellow Pole Hall, I traveled more than ten thousand li from east to west and nearly two thousand li from north to south. Then, after entering the boundary point, I flew on for quite a while. The Yellow Pole Hall alone clearly resembles a Small World. I truly can't imagine what kind of peerless powerhouse could use an entire Small World as a cultivation cave abode."
"Indeed."
The black-faced old man clapped lightly. "We haven't even reached the end of the Yellow Pole Hall, and that's before counting the Mystic Desolation Hall, Earth Pillar Hall, and Heavenly God Hall. It would be no exaggeration to say the entire cave abode of the Heavenly God Hall is a Small World."
"I was fortunate enough to read a few notes about how powerful cultivators of the Archaic Martial Period practiced. They contained many descriptions of their cultivation cave abodes. In that era, the human race was forthright, simple, and robust, and valued ruggedness as beauty."
"Even when cultivators opened cave abodes, they usually chose natural mountains, forests, or rock caves. I've never heard of an ancient powerhouse refining an entire Small World into a cave abode. If anyone could reach such a level, surely it would take the methods of an immortal, said to live as long as heaven and earth."
