Each of these provinces was divided into ten prefectures and kingdoms, and Saint was stationed in the prefecture capital.
Therefore, in the five continents on land, each continent has a Saint presiding over it.
The fourteen overseas continents are mythical islands beyond the mainland.
After the catastrophe, the original landmasses and crust were completely destroyed, and huge islands were separated from the vast landmass.
These islands stretch across the sea, often spanning tens of thousands of miles, like continents beyond the sea.
Only cultivators at the Twofold Immortal can cross the endless seas to reach the immortal mountains and islands.
Among the fourteen fairy islands, four are considered supreme: Changhua Island, Yixian Island, Lupei Island, and Pingjin Island.
These four islands are located on the side of the mainland, possessing favorable geographical and temporal conditions, and have witnessed the Ming and Qing dynasties. They are known as the immortal mountains that will never sink.
The seas within the Earth Realm are vast and boundless, and the fourteen islands each have their own unique scenery, with their own diverse inhabitants and ethnic groups.
On each of those four sacred islands, there is a Saint presiding over it.
It was precisely because of these four Saint that the power of the Four Continents Immortal Islands was able to suppress the power of the other Ten Continents Immortal Islands.
It is precisely because of these nine Saint within the Earth Realm that the Heavenly Palace has been able to maintain its dominant position forever.
The Heavenly Palace, having cultivated its influence in the Earth Realm for a long time, only managed to control nine Saint after the cataclysm.
This shows how difficult the path to immortality is; even in a complete world, there is not enough room for too many people to claim the title of saint or ancestor.
Within the Earth Realm, there are five continents on land and four continents overseas. There are also immortal islands with Saint in charge. Therefore, within the area radiated by the Heavenly Palace, it is also known as the Earth Realm Kyushu!
The Earth Realm Kyushu!
These are all within the absolute sphere of influence of the Heavenly Palace, regions overseen by Saint, and places that the Heavenly Palace has cultivated for a long time.
Reaching the Saint Realm means becoming a top-tier cultivator in the Earth Realm; their every move is enough to influence any energy.
Logically speaking, such figures are not like those Heaven Patroler and those Ancestral Spirit, possessing unparalleled abilities.
But they shouldn't be under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Palace, right? How could nine Saint directly obey the Heavenly Palace?
In the path of immortality, what cultivators seek is great freedom and ease, to confront their own Dao Heart, to temper themselves, and to communicate with heaven and earth.
Reaching the Saint Realm is akin to shining as brightly as the sun and moon. What methods does the Heavenly Palace use to control them?
The message from the Main God stated that although the Heavenly Palace was powerful, the nine Saint in the Earth Realm were not to be underestimated.
After all, they were powerful beings who had survived Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations, possessing the ability to transcend nature and making it impossible for them to bow down to heaven and earth.
Therefore, it's more accurate to say that the Heavenly Palace controls the nine Saint through an exchange of interests or a shared goal, which has forged a subtle alliance between them.
Within the Earth Realm, the Heavenly Palace requires nine Saint, and in other places, the nine Saint also rely on the Heavenly Palace's energy.
Therefore, the main god used the word "jisu" to express the subtle relationship between the nine saints and the heavenly palace.
This is undoubtedly good news for Xu Long.
The Heavenly Palace wields immense power within the Earth Realm, not to mention it controls nine Saint who serve it.
Whenever Xu Long thought about the current situation in the Earth Realm, he felt that his hopes for the mission world were slim.
But now that he knows there's also a rift between the Heavenly Palace and the nine Saint, the situation suddenly becomes much more favorable to him.
The mission for this world is to Fusion the Three Realms, a task no less significant than the Heavenly Palace Project!
It is a task for Xu Long to unify the Three Realms within the Earth Realm, almost to recreate the glorious era of the Primordial Era!
But this task is undoubtedly arduous, because almost the entire Earth Realm Kyushu are under the influence of the Heavenly Palace.
This mission had to be completed right under the noses of the Heavenly Palace, making it far more difficult than previous world missions.
The situation was extremely unfavorable for Xu Long in the Earth Realm, but he learned from the information of the Main God that the Heavenly Palace and the nine Saint were not of one mind.
The strategy of appeasement may not last long. The Heavenly Palace's influence seems to be omnipresent in the Earth Realm, but this will change if we consider the contradictions between the two.
By exploiting various contradictions to buy themselves time and space, the current world mission has already shown a glimmer of hope.
However, the gap between his cultivation level and that of Saint was as vast as an chasm, so he could not even think about having an equal dialogue with Saint in the short term, let alone exchanging any benefits.
Despite knowing that the Heavenly Palace and the Saint had a rift, Xu Long's own strength was still insufficient.
Even if there were a chance to sow discord, Saint would not believe the words of a cultivator of low cultivation level.
Having survived Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations, they harbored great resentment at being bound by the Heavenly Palace.
Cultivators at the Saint Realm have long transcended worldly affairs. In the path of immortality, they only have to deal with the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, which means they must be cautious and prudent in certain matters.
They were held captive by the Heavenly Palace because of certain exchanges of interests. To force them to change their decisions made over countless years would require either enormous benefits or irresistible coercion.
Cultivators at the Saint Realm are bound to seek stability; they would never make a gamble lightly.
But once a decision is made, it won't be easily changed!
A glint of surprise flashed in Xu Long; the mission within the Earth Realm was destined to be difficult.
This is destined to be a long and arduous journey around the world, and its destination may well be the truth it seeks.
What was hidden behind the fog has been gradually revealed by myself.
When a truly powerful force is presented to him, Xu Long must face it alone!
One person's strength is truly insignificant, while there are Saint presiding over the Earth Realm Kyushu, and there are numerous clans and sects within the Earth Realm.
If Xu Long were to fight alone, he would certainly not be able to contend with the Heavenly Palace, and his own cultivation level would inevitably improve extremely slowly.
For this mission in the world, Xu Long felt it necessary to plan carefully.
Ideally, one should secure sufficient cultivation resources within the Heavenly Palace's sphere of influence before building up their own formidable combat power.
In this way, even if one is alone when facing the behemoth that is the Heavenly Palace, one can slowly erode the Heavenly Palace's power.
The tasks within the Earth Realm cannot be accomplished overnight; under immense pressure, they must be undertaken gradually. Xu Long must be prepared for a long-term struggle.
The rift between the Heavenly Palace and the nine Saint presents him with his best opportunity!
The message from the Main God also stated that there was originally a group of earth-shattering beings within the Three Realms.
They are all beings who have received Immortal Register, those who have inscribed their names in the Heaven Beyond Heaven. Beings who attain enlightenment in the Heaven Realm are not confined to the heavens.
They possess formidable combat power, and traversing countless realms is merely commonplace for them.
However, since the Great Cataclysm of Antiquity, the Three Realms have begun to separate themselves, and the connection between the Heaven Realm, the Human Realm, and the Earth Realm has been forcibly severed.
With the Heaven Realm and the Human Realm collapsing one after another, only the Earth Realm remained relatively intact. In order to preserve themselves during the catastrophe, those once incredibly powerful beings had no choice but to fall into the Earth Realm one after another.
However, after experiencing the catastrophe, they had become extremely weak, their bodies and souls had fallen into a deep sleep, or their cultivation levels had declined significantly.
No one knows how many lives were lost in that catastrophe, and no one knows how many groups Miejue in that calamity.
When all the past is buried by dust, the original glory has already turned into a distant memory.
When all the earth-shattering creatures fell into slumber, those past deeds became legends.
The cultivators within this Earth Realm today may only remember the Saint of the Kyushu; they are unaware that in this vast world, there once existed a world-shaking being!
There is a rift between the Saint of the Kyushu and the Heavenly Palace, and there are still powerful beings in the Earth Realm, but they have fallen into slumber or their cultivation levels have declined.
Thus, there are two clear paths: one is to take advantage of the discord between the Heavenly Palace and the Saint to strive for self-strengthening.
Secondly, we should contact those who were once powerful figures and organize them.
These powerful beings were all forgotten by the Heavenly Palace and were not under the Heavenly Palace control, thus their stance was opposed to that of the Heavenly Palace.
When they awaken from their past lives, they will surely intervene at the crucial moment when the Heavenly Palace attempts to control the Three Realms.
After all, they were not the nine Saint, had no experience of being controlled by the Heavenly Palace for a long time, and there was no exchange of benefits between them.
After the catastrophe, they may have been forgotten in the Earth Realm. The earth-shaking powerhouses of that time would never be restrained or controlled by the Heavenly Palace.
If they intervene at a crucial moment, it would be a great help to Xu Long, but why would they easily side with him?
This is an exchange of interests, a contest of strength.
Ancient powerful beings would not want to be controlled by the Heavenly Palace, so why would they conspire with Xu Long, a cultivator of such low cultivation level?
Only overwhelming power can determine the course of events!
A fierce glint flashed in Xu Long's eyes, and he felt a renewed sense of urgency to improve his own cultivation level.
Whether it's opposing the Heavenly Palace Saint or trying to win over the ancient powerful beings, these are just thoughts when one's own strength is insufficient.
The tasks within the Earth Realm are extremely difficult. Although there is a clear goal, the primary goal is to elevate one's own realm.
Only by possessing immense power as a backing can one have the right to engage in equal dialogue with Saint and ancient great beings!
By taking advantage of the discord between the Heavenly Palace and the Saint, they bought time to improve themselves.
We must then seek out the slumbering ancient powers and unite with them to fight against the Heavenly Palace.
Ancient powerful beings do not make decisions easily; they can only win them over after their own realm has improved.
To get them to act, my bargaining chip is to receive the reward of Fusion the Three Realms after shattering the Heavenly Palace, allowing them to return to the Heaven Realm.
After countless years of slumber, their longing for the Heaven Realm was far greater than they could ever imagine.
Judging from the Heaven Patroler's frenzied behavior, even though the Heaven Realm has collapsed, those ancient cultivators still have a special affection for it.
That is dependence on the times, that is confidence in oneself, that is not bowing to heaven and earth, that is a proud spirit towards the sky!
That was a glorious era, an indelible and Eternity kingdom!
The ancient powerful beings still longed to return to the Heaven Realm; they still cherished the era that belonged to them.
Xu Long's leverage lies in re-establishing order and repairing the connections between the Three Realms after Fusion Three Realms.
Let them return to their own era, to that kingdom that never ends!
This is the best outcome for them, and it's also the most reasonable arrangement at present.
Facing the colossal Heavenly Palace, completing the mission of this world was Xu Long's plan.
This plan involves strategic alliances, and the combined power within it will be no less than that of the Kyushu Saint in the Heavenly Palace.
However, there is one crucial condition for this plan: Xu Long himself must be exceptionally strong!
Xu Long exhaled deeply in the air, having already reviewed the missions and plans within the Earth Realm.
The immediate priority is to establish a foothold in this Earth Realm, concealing our presence within its Earth Realm, and then leverage the resources of this world to enhance our strength.
The information about the Earth Realm given to him by the Main God made him aware of the complexity of the situation, and being in it himself, he couldn't help but have some concerns.
This will be a grand plan, and perhaps Xu Long will usher in his own era!
On the path to immortality, the strong contend for supremacy!
After witnessing the aloof and unparalleled immortal demeanor of the Heaven Patroler and Ancestral Spirit, after receiving their own Immortal Register and having their inscriptions engraved, and after hearing about the rewards for the Earth Realm missions...
Xu Long had already made up his mind to start his own era!
The Vulture King's massive body floated among the clouds, and the vast sky below resembled an endless Vast Sea, with only Xu Long swimming within it.
Despite the countless clouds obscuring the view ahead, the Vulture King's broad wings sliced through them, revealing endless scenery beyond the thick clouds.
After being teleported into the Earth Realm by the Main God, Xu Long knew that the Main God's energy could not remain in the Earth Realm for long.
The Origin Will of the complete world is quite strong and does not allow others to overstep its authority.
There's also the concern that the Heavenly Palace might notice, since the Saint of the Kyushu are still stationed there.
If we attract them to come and investigate, the power of the Main God will inevitably be exposed.
So when he reached the edge of the spatial rift, Xu Long simply leaped in and immediately summoned the Vulture King, then quickly fled under the sky.
After Xu Long entered the Earth Realm, the Main God's energy immediately disappeared, and the Origin Will will surged through the spatial rift.
Without the support of the Main God's energy, the rift was quickly repaired by the Origin Will.
As it surveyed the world once more, Xu Long had already used that brief moment to swiftly escape his original position.
Once you enter the Earth Realm, you are cut off from the outside world. In this vast world, once you have your own energy, the Origin Will will will no longer patrol.
However, Xu Long still urged the Vulture King to travel at full speed, knowing that there were still Saint in the Earth Realm, and they might send out their will to investigate.
The Saint within the Kyushu did indeed sense the immense spatial energy, and the unusual movement of their Origin Will will alarmed them.
They naturally had no interest in paying attention to Xu Long, a nobody. Their concerns lay in the spatial rift opened by the Main God, which stretched beyond the heavens after their will was extended.
This bought Xu Long time; under the scrutiny of the Origin Will and the Saint of the Kyushu, the Main God had already erased all traces.
At this moment, Xu Long's aura had merged with the Earth Realm, Origin Will would no longer investigate his origin.
After urging the Vulture King to travel at full speed, Xu Long then extended his will into the world.
He discovered that the Vulture King was heading east, and after a long journey, he had now entered the Earth Realm part of Lai Province.
