The Cage

"Cultivating immortality requires courage and perseverance, without fear of hardship. Look at Master, who made enemies everywhere, yet his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds under immense pressure, making him the number one cultivator of his time."

Lu Yang advised Meng Jingzhou not to think that avoiding the inherent lust of dragons was a good thing, as this kind of mentality was not conducive to cultivation.

The greater the pressure, the greater the potential. This is the principle that the eldest sister told herself, and the principle that the eldest sister knew was taught by the Silent Daoist.

The Silent Daoist has personally put his theory into practice, perfectly proving its correctness. He continues to practice it now, and Lu Yang greatly admires his tireless spirit.

Meng Jingzhou glanced at Lu Yang and said, "It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering. Let's switch places and see."

The Suanni, killed by the Third Senior Sister, truly lived up to its reputation as one of the prodigies; it possessed quite a few valuable items.

"Is this a bottle of Nascent Soul Transformation Pill?" Lu Yang pulled out a small bottle, poured out a pill, which looked like the Nascent Soul Transformation Pill described in the book, capable of helping one break through from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Elixir Cauldron Peak does not refine such things, Lu Yang has never seen the actual product.

"These three bottles are all Infant Transformation Pills."

"What kind of pill is this?" Meng Jingzhou found a pill, which was contained in a small bottle. When he opened it, a fragrant aroma wafted out, and it smelled very valuable.

"This smell should be from the Concentration Pill, the pill for the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators to break through to the Spirit Transformation stage." The Third Senior Sister twitched her nose and immediately recognized the source of the pill.

Not long after, Meng Jingzhou found another Mind-Concentrating Pill.

The third senior sister leaned against the stone wall and explained, "The Suanni is already in the mid-stage of the Spirit Transformation, so the Condensation Pill is useless to him. He must be accumulating these pills to win over his subordinates."

"The Suanni clan is divided into many factions. To compete for the position of clan leader in the future, they not only need the support of the upper echelons, but also the service of their subordinates, such as collecting materials and intelligence."

"I've seen many of my subordinates bully the weak in small tribes under the guise of collecting materials. I killed them all on a whim, and that's how I made some of my enemies."

"As for ways to win over subordinates, there are many. Some are based on simple trust, some on establishing life-and-death contracts or master-servant contracts, and some on having assassins trained by the older generation."

"By the way, Third Senior Sister, we didn't have enough time in the secret realm, so you didn't explain in detail what the Central Continent, the Demon Realm, the Buddhist Kingdom, and the Extreme North Sea were like?"

"My senior sister also said that if we encounter any strange phenomena at the border between the Central Continent and the Demon Realm, we can ask you directly."

Upon hearing this topic, the third senior sister stopped leaning lazily against the stone wall, sat up straight, and her tone became serious.

"Logically speaking, this isn't a question you should know at your level of cultivation, but since Senior Sister has said so, she must have her reasons. Let me confirm again, are you sure you want to know this?"

They both nodded simultaneously; the question was right in front of them, and they were itching to know the answer.

Seeing this, the third senior sister sighed, casually drew a few lines in the air with her fingertips, creating a undulating continent, and labeled it with the name of the continent— the Central Continent.

"Most cultivators believe that the world is flat, and that whether it's us, the Demon Race, or the sea race, we all live on a single continent."

But that's not the case.

As they were speaking, a continent the same size as the Central Continent to the east, perpendicular to the Central Continent.

To the east, the vertical continent is a vast ocean.

"This is the East China Sea."

To the west of the Central Continent, a vast expanse of yellow sand rises abruptly, parallel to the East China Sea continent.

"This is the Buddhist kingdom."

On the southern side of the Central Continent, a continent covered with towering mountains rises up.

"This is our current location, the Demon Realm."

To the north of the Central Continent, a white continent rose up, filling the last gap in the encirclement.

"This is the Extreme North with very few inhabitants."

The third senior sister pinched the red, scorching sphere in mid-air and placed it directly above the five continents.

"These are the sun and the moon."

The third senior sister paused for a moment, then continued.

"There is another continent, which is not recorded in the books. Only high-level cultivators know about it."

A sixth continent appeared and covered the top of the box.

The roof has been completed.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were both shocked, their pupils contracted slightly, and their faces were filled with disbelief.

"This continent is called the Spiritless Continent. As the name suggests, it is a completely devoid of spiritual energy, a land utterly worthless. Not only cultivators, but even mortals are unwilling to go to such a place."

Spiritual energy has the effect of clearing the meridians and strengthening the body. If mortals go to the Spiritless Continent, their physical condition will decline.

"You should have heard the legend that three hundred thousand years ago, High Antiquity, nameless person refined stars into continents."

"But the High Antiquity nameless one did not refine the stars into one continent, but into six."

"The six continents are indestructible, forming a cube that locks everyone inside."

"During this period, many powerful cultivators attempted to break through the continent and travel to worlds beyond it, but without exception, they all failed. Even cultivators proficient in spatial Law Technique could not penetrate the continent's deeper layers."

"There are even rumors that even immortals couldn't break through the continent."

"Why the nameless High Antiquity people did this remains unknown."

"In reality, whether it's six continents or one whole continent, it has no impact on cultivators. The area of these six continents is large enough that they won't feel restricted in either cultivation or combat."

"This..."

Although Lu Yang had anticipated the existence of the sixth continent and expected that they lived in a huge, boundless box, seeing this scene in person still felt like a fantasy.

Lu Yang had always been puzzled as to why the nameless High Antiquity beings would refine stars into continents, and what their purpose was.

This puzzled Lu Yang greatly, but now the answer has finally been revealed— the High Antiquity nameless people were locking something away.

Using stars as raw materials and continents as barriers, they constructed a box of unimaginable size that could not be penetrated by any Divine Ability.

"If you don't believe it, you can go down and have a look, if you know how to escape from the earth." The third senior sister added that many monks found it difficult to accept the truth when they heard it for the first time.

Seeing is believing, which is understandable.

"I'll go take a look." Lu Yang didn't hesitate and got up to dive down.

This was not only his intention, but also the intention of the Immortal Fairy.

The continental barrier is very thick; at Lu Yang's speed, it would take days to calculate.

Fortunately, Lu Yang was already at the Golden Core stage, which allowed him to circulate his internal energy and not need to breathe for extended periods.

The only problem is that I don't have enough Law Power to keep using the Shrinking Earth Technique.

This problem can be solved with the Great Rejuvenation Pill.

He used the Shrinking Earth Technique and darted underground in a flash.

Three hours later, Lu Yang's spiritual energy was exhausted. He used the method of drawing a dungeon to build a small space underground, where he took the Great Rejuvenation Pill, rested for a while, and then continued to descend.

This was repeated twenty times, and five days passed.

The body paused as it descended, as if it had stepped onto solid ground, a very real sensation.

The Shrinking Earth Technique is ineffective.

Reaching the very bottom of the continent.

The second update will be at 11 PM.
