Ling Cair, with Beichen at the helm, carried Mo Yuan and Yan Lie, who in turn carried Xihe and Changxi, followed closely behind. Dijun and Taiyi flew at the rear, acting as escorts.
They flew for thirty years.
Thirty years later, a boundless black Gale Domain appeared before the eight of them. It was like a colossal chasm in the primordial world, blocking their path.
The Gale Domain was filled with rolling black winds, like the blades of ferocious gods.
Wherever the gale passed, countless spaces and spirits were torn to shreds.
The laws within the Gale Domain were incredibly dangerous; even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal would feel wary in its presence!
"Master?"
Ling Cair paused slightly before the Gale Domain, feeling an unbearable discomfort.
Before Beichen could reply, a cultivator from the primordial world, a mid-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal, plunged headfirst into the Gale Domain.
Instantly, the spiritual energy emanating from him attracted the myriad gales, which became incredibly violent. The gales, like knives, crisscrossed and tore the Grand Unity Golden Immortal's body to pieces, scattering his flesh and blood.
In just a moment, the Gale Domain had shredded a mid-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal!
Only one word could describe it: terrifying!
"Old Ancestor Hongjun said anyone could go to the Purple Heaven Palace to listen to his teachings, but the hidden threshold is extremely high!"
Beichen couldn't help but sigh slightly upon seeing this.
While it was said that anyone could attend, without reaching the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, there was almost no possibility of reaching the Purple Heaven Palace!
The Gale Domain encircled the Purple Firmament Palace from a million miles away. If not for those within a million miles of the Purple Firmament Palace, this Gale Domain alone would have claimed nearly all of them!
Of course, it wasn't impossible for some beings with exceptionally powerful foundations, immense luck, and potent accompanying magical treasures, who hadn't yet reached Grand Unity, to pass through the Gale Domain.
However, such existences were one in ten thousand, perhaps not even one in ten thousand cultivators!
Just as Beichen finished his thoughts, he saw another cultivator, radiating Grand Unity golden light, laugh maniacally, "A mere Grand Unity Golden Immortal trying to pass through the Gale Domain to hear Old Ancestor Hongjun preach? What a pipe dream!"
"This Gale Domain is incredibly dangerous. Without being a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, it's impossible to pass!"
This person was only in the early Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage. He stirred the Grand Unity immortal energy around him and stepped into the Gale Domain, activating the myriad laws of his Grand Unity realm and fleeing frantically within the gales, not daring to slow down or stop for even a moment.
The gales surged like a flood, endless blade-light of gale energy engulfing the cultivator.
His Grand Unity Golden Immortal aura was continuously being severed. Even with the protection of Grand Unity immortal energy, it became incredibly thin.
By the time he reached the middle of the ten-thousand-mile Gale Domain, his Grand Unity immortal energy was almost completely gone.
At this point, the cultivator's expression gradually turned tense, all traces of his previous arrogance and confidence vanishing from his face.
"This person is emanating death qi. He won't be able to pass the Gale Domain!"
Beichen shook his head helplessly.
The next moment, just as the cultivator was about to escape the edge of the Gale Domain, his endless Grand Unity immortal energy was dissolved by the myriad gales.
The raging gales directly dismembered him.
"So close!"
Dijun couldn't help but swallow.
"Even Grand Unity Golden Immortals find it difficult to cross the Gale Domain!"
Beichen sighed.
Then, he reached out and patted Ling Cair's little head. "Let's go, hurry up. You have the immortal robe, what are you afraid of?"
"Oh!"
Ling Cair then remembered she was wearing her Nine-Colored Immortal Robe and had nothing to fear. She accelerated to her fastest speed and charged into the Gale Domain.
The gales were incredibly fierce, but the Nine-Colored Immortal Robe around Ling Cair shimmered brilliantly, preventing the gales from getting close.
Simultaneously, Beichen's perfect Grand Unity Golden Immortal dao aura directly pushed through the gales, causing them to scatter far away.
Ling Cair glanced at Beichen, filled with admiration. "Master, this Gale Domain is useless against us!"
However, from behind them came the continuous pained groans of Mo Yuan and Yan Lie.
They had both been swept by the myriad gales, their scales missing, in great pain.
Still, these were only superficial wounds, and they were not seriously harmed.
On their backs, Xihe and Changxi felt immense relief. "Fortunately, we have the immortal skirts given by Master protecting us. These gales can't get close at all!"
While their strength might have allowed them to cross the Gale Domain, being pregnant, they were already greatly depleted, unable to withstand the consumption and damage caused by the gales.
With the immortal skirts covering them, they were completely immune to the gales' damage, making their passage through the Gale Domain as easy as walking on flat ground!
Dijun and Taiyi, though their cultivation was similar to the black dragon and the Fire Qilin, were not suppressed by the Heavenly Dao. By simply releasing their Blazing Sun Qi, they could ward off the gale's encroachment, making it not difficult for them to pass through the Gale Domain.
"Mo Yuan, Yan Lie, hold onto your dao hearts and concentrate! This Gale Domain is also a form of cultivation for you both. It can help you both dissolve much karma and improve your cultivation!"
Beichen encouraged them.
"Yes, Master, we understand!"
The two gritted their teeth and continued to flee, increasing their speed, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
Three full years passed. Finally, they broke free from the Gale Domain. The eight of them looked back at the sunless, wind-ravaged Gale Domain and breathed a sigh of relief.
"We're still over 900,000 li from the Purple Heaven Palace. Let's hurry," Beichen said calmly.
The eight continued on their way. They saw more and more cultivators traveling, most of them Grand Unity Golden Immortals, with a small portion being at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.
"These Grand Unity Golden Immortals don't even have to pass through the Gale Domain. How fortunate!" Ling Cair murmured.
"They can't be considered truly fortunate. Three thousand li outside the Purple Heaven Palace, there's a ring-shaped Great Dao Fragment Domain. I reckon only the Grand Unity Golden Immortals within that area can be considered fortunate!"
After another thirty years of travel, the boundless Great Dao Fragment Domain appeared before them, like a sea of arrows, their fragments capable of cutting through anything.
Cultivators who fell into the Great Dao Fragment Domain were instantly sliced into pieces.
"Terrifying! It's even more formidable than the Gale Domain!" Ling Cair exclaimed.
At this moment, countless cultivators, eager to hear Old Ancestor Hongjun's sermon, rushed headlong into the Great Dao Fragment Domain.
And so, countless cultivators were cut by the Great Dao fragments and perished in that sea of shards.
Many Grand Unity Golden Immortals and even early-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortals, after seeing this sea of fragments, shook their heads and turned back.
They ultimately lacked the confidence to cross the Great Dao Fragment Domain.
While improving their cultivation by listening to the sermon was important, survival was the prerequisite!
They could only resign themselves to the belief that they had no fate with Hongjun's sermon.
Those unwilling to accept this fate would still risk their lives to enter the Great Dao Fragment Domain. Grand Unity Golden Immortals with strong foundations or formidable power could indeed cross this domain.
Beichen used his Grand Unity Completion stage immortal energy to clear a path, shielding the others behind him from a significant portion of the Great Dao fragment assaults. The three women, dressed in colorful attire and skirts, easily withstood all the damage.
Mo Yuan and Yan Lie fared the worst, covered in wounds and on the verge of death.
However, they managed to cross the Great Dao Fragment Domain at the last moment, crashing to the ground with a thud.
Dijun and Taiyi emerged unscathed, following closely behind.
"The danger has passed. The Purple Firmament Palace is just ahead!"
Another thirty years passed. On the ninety-third year, a magnificent palace, exuding an ethereal aura, appeared.
"The danger has passed. I will go ahead!"
Beichen immediately used a Proximity to the Horizon Divine Ability, landing before the Purple Heaven Palace.
"Huh? It's you? Why aren't you going in?"
Beichen had landed directly in front of a little monkey.
