A month ago, when his batch of weaker cultivators belonging to the Chu Clan entered the Eight Regions of the lower realm, that Extreme Dao Supreme who presided over the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands had once said that the Eight Regions held great opportunities, and even contained terrifying forbidden zones and ancient, invincible powerhouses. He warned them to keep a low profile while in the Eight Regions and not to offend those who shouldn't be offended.
In truth, he hadn't paid much attention to it at the time. In his eyes, a mere Nine Heavens and Ten Lands had nothing worth noting, let alone the Eight Regions of the lower realm. However, after arriving in the Heavenly Domain, he had accidentally passed by a Desolate Land. Even just looking at it from afar had made his heart race, giving him the feeling that his soul was about to be extinguished.
Ever since that incident, he had chosen to be cautious and kind to others in the Eight Regions, terrified that this godforsaken place might actually harbor some monsters that could lead to his death.
He was a prodigy possessing one-one-hundred-and-twenty-eighth of the true blood of a Chu Clan Extreme Dao Supreme. If he were to die in a backwater place like the Eight Regions, it would be a massive loss.
He wondered if this so-called Void God Realm had any connection to the place he had accidentally passed by back then. Surely it couldn't be the same place, could it?
"The origins of the Void God Realm are untraceable. One theory is that it is the world cultivators enter after becoming gods. Another theory is that it is a spiritual world constructed by the combined mental power of the ancient people who worshipped the gods."
"It is not the physical body that enters the Void God Realm, but the cultivator's spiritual will. Even though it feels very real to the cultivator, it is indeed just their spiritual will. Once the spirit enters the Void God Realm, it is as if they are reborn there, and there is no difference from their true self."
"Not only that, once a cultivator's spirit is tempered in the Void God Realm and returns to reality, it will bring all those insights back to the physical body, allowing the body to undergo a transformation together, as if the true self had been in the Void God Realm all along."
Hearing Zhao Ming's words, Zhao Xiao couldn't help but gasp.
This thing was too bizarre, wasn't it? The spirit gets tempered, yet it can provide feedback to the physical body—this was simply unheard of!
To think he had spent this whole month just cultivating Spirit Herbs and had actually missed such important intelligence about the Void God Realm!
He feared that those guys who had entered the Eight Regions at the same time as him were already training in the Void God Realm by now.
This was truly not good news...
Just as Zhao Xiao was learning the details about the Void God Realm, Dai Mubai had already recovered.
He was currently dressed in a eunuch's uniform, wearing an official cap. His face was pale and hairless, his expression haggard as he followed silently behind the Sword-Wielding Grand Eunuch.
"Little Dai, listen up. The guest we are about to meet is someone so distinguished that even the Monarch of the Green Country cannot afford to offend them, understand? If you dare to offend this guest, no one in the entire Eight Regions will be able to protect you."
Hearing this, Dai Mubai merely lifted his eyelids and nodded woodenly, as if he had resigned himself to his fate.
"Little Dai, you must remember, it's just a couple of ounces of flesh. In the face of powerful strength, what does a couple of ounces of flesh matter? With your current strength, you could easily slaughter ten thousand of your former selves."
A couple of ounces of flesh...
At the mere thought of the treasure he had lost, Dai Mubai felt as if someone had stabbed a knife into his heart and was twisting it randomly, the pain so intense he could barely breathe.
This damn eunuch spoke so lightly. Those two ounces of flesh were a man's proof of manhood. Having lost them, what meaning was left in his life?
Dai An of the Star Dou Empire looked at the despondent Dai Mubai and sighed in his heart, shaking his head.
A little setback had already crushed his son's spirit; it seemed his training was still insufficient.
Moreover, after everything he had encountered in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, his character would likely be a problem. Perhaps he needed to reconsider his heir.
But if he were to change the heir, once Dai Mubai returned from the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands in a year, with his power, how could Dai Weisi stop him, and how could the Star Luo Empire withstand him...
"Sigh, isn't it just a bit of torture? Isn't it just that I can't play with women anymore? The old eunuch said it himself: as long as my cultivation reaches his realm, I can regrow severed limbs."
"One who aspires to be an emperor must have long-term vision and consider the big picture!"
Yet, at the mere thought of Dai Mubai's current power, a trace of envy flashed deep in Dai An's eyes.
He truly hadn't expected that his son, despite having only been submerged for a moment, would reach the Hole Heaven Realm in a mere three days!
This realm was already the highest among all the Chosen Ones from Douluo Continent who had entered the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands!
Even the once-Peerless Douluo, Clear Sky Douluo Tang Chen, was still only in the Blood Transporting Realm at this moment!
He was even stronger than Yu Xiaogang, whose cultivation had skyrocketed after being fed medicine by the Wind User!
At this moment, Dai Mubai naturally did not know that his own father was disparaging him so; he only wanted to avenge his young brother.
But the moment he thought of the gap in cultivation between himself and the Sword-Wielding Grand Eunuch, he couldn't help but feel a wave of disappointment in his heart.
Even if he had condensed a Hole Heaven, so what? Compared to the other party, he was nothing more than an ant that could be crushed at will!
For now, he still needed to endure...
Just as Dai Mubai was continuously persuading himself to be patient, the Sword-Wielding Grand Eunuch suddenly stopped in his tracks. He looked up toward the horizon, a trace of shock flashing in his eyes. He straightened his posture and muttered.
"It's here? It arrived so quickly?"
"Such terrifying aura—no wonder he has been able to stir up such waves across the Eight Regions in just a month!"
When Dai Mubai followed the Sword-Wielding Grand Eunuch's gaze, he only saw a sea of crimson before his eyes, and his heart trembled violently.
He was no longer the novice who had just arrived in the Eight Regions; he knew very well that the red glow staining half the sky was not a sunset, but the lifeblood of a powerhouse, surging like a True Dragon!
"Too terrifying! What kind of existence could possess such horrifying lifeblood?"
Hearing Dai Mubai's low murmur, the Sword-Wielding Grand Eunuch turned his head and sneered.
"Don't even think about it. That kind of peerless talent is not someone you can reach. As far as I know, this young powerhouse appeared in the Yellow Region a month ago and stirred up monstrous waves. No one could defeat him, no one could stop him. Even that renowned old Venerable of the Celestial Race was defeated by him with a single palm. That is also the reason why the Monarch of my Green Country wishes to host a banquet for him."
"After all, the waves of the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the former waves die on the beach. No one wants to become the former wave that dies on the beach. If one can recruit the new wave as one's own, that would naturally be for the best!"
"There are rumors that this young lord is not even 20 years old!"
Hiss!
Whether it was Dai Mubai or the cultivators of Douluo Continent watching Dai Mubai through the Light Screen, they all gasped in unison.
After three days of live streaming, everyone was very clear that for an ancient nation like the Green Country, its Monarch must be the peak combat strength of the Eight Regions: the Venerable Realm!
And the young powerhouse mentioned by the Sword-Wielding Grand Eunuch had defeated a Venerable of the Celestial Race, who was in the same Venerable Realm as the Monarch of the Green Country. This meant that the other party could likewise defeat the Monarch of the Green Country.
More importantly, the other party was not even 20 years old!
This was ten thousand times more terrifying than Zhao Xiao!
No wonder the Monarch of the Green Country wanted to recruit him!
