Chapter 396 The Secrets Behind the Great Tang Upon hearing this...
Wang Ziyu chuckled and shook his head, "No, that's not it."
"Besides Eastern Continent, this world consists of two other great realms: Mystic Continent Daiyu."
Jiang Yuechu frowned slightly.
Mystic Continent?
Daiyu?
These two names were completely unfamiliar to her.
The historical records of the Great Tang Dynasty only mention the surrounding countries, and make no mention of the vast territory of this world.
"So, which of these three places is stronger or weaker?"
Jiang Yuechu got right to the point.
Wang Ziyu glanced at her. "Is that even a question? If those two places are better than this one, why do sixteen of the Twenty-Five Orthodox Great Daos stubbornly insist on crowding into the Eastern Territory?"
As the saying goes, "People strive to rise higher, while water flows downhill."
"This Eastern Territory is the highest place in the world."
"This place is blessed with abundant resources and outstanding people; it is a place where destiny has been bestowed upon us."
"Therefore, only the cultivators and Demon of the Mystic Continent and Daiyu are desperately trying to squeeze into the Eastern Territory in hopes of gaining some fortune."
"Yet very few cultivators from the Eastern Territory would be so foolish as to go and suffer in those two places."
"Unless you can't make it here anymore, or you're being chased by enemies and have nowhere else to go, you'll have no choice but to flee to those two places to avoid trouble."
Jiang Yuechu nodded slightly.
I see.
The so-called Eastern Territory is the center of this world, a land of abundance.
Since it is rich, it naturally attracts wolves to swarm around it.
However... this raises a new problem.
The Great Tang Dynasty was located in the Eastern Territory, occupying a corner of this fertile land.
Their strength is truly inadequate compared to the world here.
Why...
How have they managed to stay safe and sound until now?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuechu raised her eyelids and looked directly at Wang Ziyu.
"If that's the case, there's something I don't understand. The Great Tang, including the previous dynasties, was nothing more than an ordinary mortal with a shallow foundation. Even now, it's rare to find someone who can even Tower-Ascending Realm... So why was it able to occupy a place in this Eastern Territory?"
Not considering those that are far away.
Take Spirit Mountain as an example.
Spirit Mountain has Seventy-Two Caves Demon Emperor, and even if they only mobilize half of their power, it would be enough to directly wipe out all living beings in the Great Tang Dynasty territory.
However, in fact...
Even as dynasties changed and Demon raged across the land.
The human dynasty in this region has continued to this day.
There must be something fishy going on here.
Upon hearing this...
Wang Ziyu, who had been completely unperturbed, suddenly froze. "You don't know?"
"Should I know?"
"Forehead..."
Wang Ziyu opened his mouth, then seemed to have thought of something, and shook his head. "Not knowing... is a good thing."
Hearing the riddle-maker's words...
Jiang Yuechu couldn't help but clench her fists.
However, he patiently said, "Why don't you tell me?"
However.
The old man, who was always quick to answer questions, shook his head nervously this time. "Although this matter is not a secret among the various Daoist sects, it is by no means something that can be casually revealed to outsiders. Don't force me... If you really want to know, you might as well ask other people in your sect."
Jiang Yuechu looked at the little brat with a mysterious expression.
I rolled my eyes inwardly.
Daoist lineage?
As it stands, she's the only living person in her lineage.
Who should I ask?
Ask about that wisp of the True Dragon's remnant soul?
If she truly had an elder guiding her, why would she be wandering around aimlessly like a headless fly?
I couldn't get a clear answer from the questions.
Jiang Yuechu stopped pressing the matter.
However, judging from the other party's attitude of not daring to even mention it, it may not be all a bad thing.
This at least shows that there are other tricks up the sleeve in this region of the Great Tang that make outsiders wary.
Jiang Yuechu withdrew her gaze, closed her eyes, and remained silent.
The cave returned to silence.
Only the light of her Heart Material flickered in the darkness, illuminating the girl's serene profile.
Time passed.
Sunrise and moonset.
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.
As the third full moon climbed to the treetops.
The cool moonlight bathed the entire mountaintop.
Inside the cave, a sudden chill descended.
The fist-sized silver pellet was beating like a heartbeat.
With each pulse, a circle of brilliant light ripples outwards, illuminating the dark and cramped grotto with a bizarre and fantastical glow.
All eyes were drawn to it.
Wang Ziyu turned his head and nodded to Jiang Yuechu, saying, "The time is right. Go, summon your Primordial Spirit and melt this Heart Material into it."
At this point, the Young Disciple frowned slightly, as if remembering something, and added, "There should be a set of refining methods for this refining of Heart Material, so as to achieve a perfect blend without losing any spiritual essence."
"You've just entered the Ascending Tower-Ascending Realm, and your foundation is still shallow... I suppose you haven't had time to learn this method yet... Never mind, let's use the most rudimentary method, grinding it down with the power of our Primordial Spirit. It won't be too late to find the orthodox methods of cultivation when we return later."
Jiang Yuechu remained calm and said nothing.
He simply nodded slightly.
I walked a few steps to the stone platform.
Sit cross-legged.
Adjust your breathing.
But in a short while.
A golden-blue light suddenly appeared at the top of the head.
A figure, its entire body woven from gold and blue, stepped out from the physical form.
Although its figure was only the size of an ordinary person, it was solid and lifelike, with a blazing sun hanging behind its head, exuding a profound and oppressive aura.
Once the Primordial Spirit emerged, it headed straight for the Twelve-Colored Cloud Silver clouds.
As the Primordial Spirit leaves the body.
The body that was sitting cross-legged instantly lost all vitality and life force.
Like the clay and wooden sculptures in a temple, they hang their heads and remain lifeless.
In the shadows not far away.
Niu Ben and the Red Sun Demon Venerable exchanged a glance.
A hint of curiosity flashed in the eyes of both demons.
Such a scene is a rare and fortunate occurrence for them.
If one could get closer and observe, one might be able to glean some insights.
Niu Ben subconsciously took two steps forward.
The Red Sun Demon Venerable also craned his neck, wanting to see more clearly.
However.
Before they could even get within three zhang (approximately 10 meters).
A short figure stood blocking the middle of the road.
Wang Ziyu remained expressionless, his hands tucked into his sleeves.
The smile on her face had completely vanished.
There was only a chilling atmosphere.
"Step back."
The sound wasn't loud.
This caused the two demons to freeze in place.
The Niu Ben's hoof, which had just been raised, was now suspended in mid-air, unable to land or retract.
The Red Sun Demon Venerable shrank back, chuckling awkwardly as he retreated, wishing he could disappear into a crack in the rock.
Wang Ziyu snorted coldly and ignored the two blockheads.
This girl.
They really have an incredibly big heart.
When the Primordial Spirit leaves the body, the physical body becomes extremely vulnerable.
Although these two beasts seem to treat Jiang Yuechu with great respect... Non-Self my kind, and their hearts are bound to be different.
Demon is still Demon.
Who can guarantee they won't act impulsively and take a risk?
Since you came together.
There's always something to look after.
Wang Ziyu took a deep breath and simply sat down cross-legged in front of Jiang Yuechu.
His divine sense spread out, enveloping the entire cave.
He senses every slightest movement.
That is, at this moment.
The golden-blue Primordial Spirit had already reached out its hand.
I grabbed the dazzling silver light.
