The Myriad Worlds of the Heavens, and Heavens Beyond Heavens
"Holy Land?"
Upon hearing Dongfang Yueming's question, Qin Rushuang shook her head, a hint of unprecedented seriousness flashing in her clear, cold eyes.
"No."
"They come from... the Azure Realm, and the Crimson Realm."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yueming was completely stunned!
This was the first time he had ever heard those two names!
Looking at his shocked expression, Qin Rushuang felt a pang of emotion. She slowly began to speak, as if recounting an ancient, unknown myth.
"The land beneath our feet is called the ' Immortal-Abandoned Continent '."
"And beyond the Immortal-Abandoned Continent, there exist endless... myriad realms."
"Some of these worlds, like ours, have cultivation as their main practice."
"Some, however, took completely different paths."
"But, no matter the path taken, the ultimate pursuit remains the same: transcendence and eternity."
"And you should also know about the realm divisions within our path of cultivation."
"Innate, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Soul Formation, Void Refinement, Body Integration, Mahayana."
Similarly, the world also has different levels.
"From lowest to highest, they are divided into four categories: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow."
"The Yellow-Grade World is the weakest; the limit its world origin can bear is only cultivators below the Golden Core."
"Profound Grade world can accommodate beings below the Soul Formation. Earth Grade is for beings below the Body Integration."
"And our Immortal-Abandoned Continent," her voice became somewhat complicated, "Is a Earth Grade world."
"In the endless myriad realms, he can only be considered ordinary."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yueming's heart was already filled with a raging storm!
He couldn't help but ask, "Then... what about the Azure Realm and the Crimson Realm?"
Qin Rushuang took a deep breath and slowly uttered two words.
"... Heaven Grade."
"Boom--!"
These two words, like a world-destroying thunderbolt, struck Dongfang Yueming's heart fiercely!
[Heaven Grade World!]
That means that in those two worlds, there exist at least... supreme giants at the Body Integration Realm!
[And after the Golden Core comes the Nascent Soul!]
[After the Nascent Soul, there are also the Soul Formation and Void Refinement!]
[After that, it's time for... Body Integration!]
He remembered that... stunningly beautiful fairy who was about to be guided to the "Upper Realm".
An unprecedented sense of urgency welled up inside me!
[Not enough...]
My skills are far from sufficient!
"Okay, okay~"
Just then, Hong Ling, who was standing to the side, giggled, interrupting his thoughts.
"Young man, these things are still too far away."
"You should really take some time to digest this."
Having said that, she pulled Qin Rushuang, who was equally shaken, and turned around, skipping and hopping back towards the thatched hut.
Qin Rushuang's heart was also filled with endless complex emotions.
[Back then, that little guy who still needed my protection...]
[Now, surprisingly, they've reached the same level as me...]
[It seems I also need to work hard.]
Otherwise, it won't be long before he leaves us far behind...
[Does reaching the Mahayana in cultivation mean reaching the pinnacle? Are there no higher realms after the Heaven Grade? Could there be immortal beings who live forever?!]
Dongfang Yueming stood alone, unable to calm down for a long time.
After a long while, he finally let out a long breath.
Overthinking is pointless; let's focus on the present moment first.
He immersed his divine sense into the two storage rings that belonged to the elders of the Pleasure Sect.
"Recycle!"
[Ding! 2000 low-grade spirit stones recycled, gaining 200,000 points!]
[Ding! 300 mid-grade spirit stones recycled, gaining 3,000,000 points!]
In addition, there's the 100,000 from the Heavenly Star Sect Master.
[Points:5842000!]
Seeing the terrifyingly high numbers surge again, Dongfang Yueming's sense of urgency finally eased slightly.
Regardless, the most urgent task is to improve our strength!
He had made up his mind.
[Point Allocation!]
Dongfang Yueming no longer hesitated!
[Ding! Consumed 200,000 points, "Martial Extremity Golden Body Art" upgraded to Golden Core Second Layer!][Ding! Consumed 200,000 points, Golden Core Third Layer!]
"Boom! Boom!"
Two incredibly vast torrents of magical power exploded within his body!
His already extraordinary "Martial Dao Golden Core," with the infusion of massive amounts of points, began to spin and grow wildly at an unprecedented speed!
[Ding! 240,000 points consumed, Golden Core Fourth Stage!]
"Buzz--!"
The moment Dongfang Yueming stepped into the Mid Golden Core realm!
He could clearly feel that his soul resonated with that "Martial Dao Golden Core" in a deeper way!
A profound and mysterious aura began to emanate from the Golden Core, slowly attempting to establish some kind of connection with the space around him!
[Continue!]
[Ding! 240,000 points consumed, Level 5!][Ding! 240,000 points consumed, Level 6!]
[Ding! 300,000 points consumed, Golden Core Seventh Layer!]
The moment his cultivation reached the Late Golden Core!
That profound and mysterious artistic conception has finally taken full shape!
"Buzz--!"
Centered on him, within a radius of a hundred feet, the air seemed to become viscous!
An invisible, terrifying force field, filled with the will of "suppression" and "egocentrism," quietly descended!
The prototype of a domain -- [Martial Dao Domain]!
[Ding! 300,000 points consumed, Eighth level!][Ding! 300,000 points consumed, Ninth level!]
"Boom--!!!!"
The magical power within him had long since transformed from the initial "stream" into a raging, roaring... vast river!
His "Martial Dao Golden Core" exuded an immortal divine might that was enough to make heaven and earth submit!
And just then!
Dongfang Yueming glanced at the panel.
[Technique: Martial Extremity Golden Body Art (0/400000, Ninth Level)]
"Just one last step!"
[Perfection!]
[Ding! 400,000 points consumed, "Martial Extremity Golden Body Art" upgraded to Perfection!]
"Buzz--!!!!"
The moment the technique Perfection!
His Chaos Golden Core, which had already reached the "Nine-Turn Supreme Grade", suddenly trembled!
Immediately afterwards!
His [Martial Dao Domain], which still seemed somewhat illusory, became completely solid at this moment!
Although, the scope is still not large.
But within this realm, he is the sole ruler!
"Call..."
Dongfang Yueming exhaled a long breath.
Feeling the unprecedented power within him, his heart was filled with boundless pride!
[Now, we should have enough strength to search for Shi Qing, right?]
[And... the Love Palace Hongxiu... ]
However, considering that the Love Palace is one of the eight holy lands, its strength is unfathomable!
[Within it, there are probably not only Soul Formation, but even... supreme giants at the Void Refinement level!]
The surge of pride in his heart was instantly replaced by an even stronger sense of urgency!
[Not enough!]
My skills are far from sufficient!
[But it's alright.]
I have now joined the Martial Sect!
[Next up is... the Nascent Soul cultivation technique!]
Without the slightest hesitation, he strode quickly toward the seemingly simple thatched hut!
