A Great Fortuitous Opportunity, and a Great Terror!

Half a month later, in the Myriad Demon Domain, at Purple Firmament Peak.

At the summit, the Thunder Pool surged, and purple-gold lightning leaped through the clouds; Shi Jian, clad in a long purple-white robe, hovered between heaven and earth, absorbing the thunder.

Below the main hall, Shu Baoshan prostrated himself, bowing respectfully.

"Ancestor, Baoshan has returned."

Shu Baoshan raised his head, his face full of obsequiousness, just like his ancestor, with a hint of Lord Rat in his eyes and brows.

Shi Jian glanced at him, his gaze settling on the rounded belly of Shu Baoshan.

"You've caused quite a stir these past few years; you've turned Little Yu Kingdom upside down, and those old mudskippers in Flood Dragon Domain are still searching the world for that thief who stole the water eye."

"A while ago, they even came to our door, asking directly if we did it."

"What, you went on a trip to the Supreme Purity Sect and came back unscathed?"

Shu Baoshan chuckled and, without saying a word, opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful.

Whoosh!

Beside the Thunder Pool, a Xiaoshan instantly appeared; piles of high-grade Spirit Stone, various third-order Space Dao materials, and complete sets of array plates and magic Law Artifact shone brightly, Tongming the entire mountaintop.

Shi Jian remained calm. Although these things were precious, they were merely icing on the cake for the current Myriad Demon Domain.

"That's all?" Shi Jian raised an eyebrow.

Shu Baoshan's expression turned solemn, and he took out four more treasure boxes and six ancient Jade Slip, which floated slowly in front of Shi Jian.

"Ancestor, this is the real big deal."

Shi Jian's gaze sharpened, and his Divine Sense swept over the four treasure boxes.

Void Nether Stone Marrow, Realm King Crystal, Great Void Divine Sand, Mirage Sea Realm Stone!

Even with Shi Jian's composure, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes at this moment; four fourth-order Space Dao spiritual objects are rare items on the Profound Spirit Continent today.

His gaze then turned to the six Jade Slip.

The Grand Firmament Void True Scripture, the Great Luo Transposition Method, the Space-Rending True Crossing Precious Canon...

"The Void Pavilion of the Supreme Purity Sect?" Shi Jian looked at Shu Baoshan.

"Our ancestor has keen insight!"

Baoshan felt uneasy thinking that his ancestor still didn't have a decent secret realm; so he took it upon himself to borrow some things.

"With a casual gesture, he also emptied the Space Dao inheritance of their ancestors."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jian burst into laughter.

"Great! What a clever loan!"

Shi Jian's laughter was like thunder, shaking the mountaintop and making a buzzing sound.

"You, you are greedy, but you have guts and know when to advance and retreat; I have seen all the schemes you have been up to these past few years."

"Good!"

Merit must be rewarded; this was Shi Jian's ironclad rule.

Shi Jian stood up, and with a wave of his sleeve, he collected all the treasures on the ground.

"Let's go, I'll go and see your Rat Race's encampment today."

Outside the Myriad Demon Mountain Range lies the Three Line Mountain, the dwelling place of the Rat Race.

The continuous mountain range, composed of multiple sacred mountains and abysses, is inhabited by the three lineages of Wind Rat, Treasure Hunters, and Yin Rat.

At the same time, the Jiuyin Secret Realm also stands here.

Although the Jiuyin Secret Realm has been maintained for many years and has become quite impressive, its internal space is still limited and its foundation is not very strong.

At this moment, Shi Jian and Shu Baoshan appeared out of nowhere among the mountains.

Below, Shu Jiuyin and Shu Changfeng sensed the aura of their ancestor and immediately fled their cave abode to respectfully welcome their lord.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Shi Jian nodded slightly, his gaze then turning to the secret realm:

"Baoshan has made great contributions over the years. As I have said, the Myriad Demon Domain will never fail to reward those who have made contributions. Today, I will add another layer of strength to your clan."

After speaking, Shi Jian flipped his hand and took out a translucent gray-blue raw stone.

It was the Mirage Sea Realm Stone, a fourth-tier Space Dao spiritual artifact that Shu Baoshan had stolen from the Righteous Qi Gate mine in the East Sea.

"Step back."

Upon hearing this, the rats quickly retreated.

Shi Jian took a step forward, and the power of his Nascent Soul erupted.

He raised one hand, and purple-gold lightning gathered in his palm, transforming into a sharp thunder blade, which he then slashed fiercely at the Jiuyin Secret Realm below.

Laugh!

The already fragile barrier of the secret realm was instantly ripped open with a huge crack, and violent spatial turbulence surged out.

Shi Jian remained calm and composed, flicking his finger. The Mirage Sea Realm Stone transformed into a stream of light, precisely shooting into the spatial rift.

Immediately afterwards, supported by vast Demon Power, it poured into the boundary stone like a celestial river flowing backward.

"Certainly!"

The Mirage Sea Realm Stone shattered violently in the center of the secret realm, turning into a layer of gray-blue water that rapidly spread outwards.

The originally turbulent spatial currents became docile instantly upon contact with this layer of water.

The space within the secret realm began to expand wildly at a visible rate.

Twenty li, thirty li, forty li...

It wasn't until it expanded to a radius of fifty miles that the spatial barrier became completely stable; a gray-blue light curtain enveloped the entire secret realm, making it indestructible.

"Not enough."

Shi Jian's eyes flashed, and he clenched his fist towards the void.

Boom!

Deep beneath the Myriad Demon Mountain Range, a third-tier Spirit Vein was forcibly seized; the earth cracked open, and a hundred-zhang-long dragon of Spiritual Qi burst forth from the ground.

Under Shi Jian's guidance, the giant dragon of Spiritual Qi was forcibly infused into the Jiuyin Secret Realm.

In an instant, Spiritual Qi surged within the secret realm, transforming into a misty drizzle; withered trees came back to life, and countless Yin-attribute, metal-attribute, and wind- Spirit Plant broke through the soil and grew wildly.

Within a radius of fifty miles, a secret realm has given rise to many new landforms.

This further perfects the initial form of the Blessed Land; as the Blessed Land complement each other in the future, the Rat Race's foundation will also experience a surge!

The three rats, Shu Changfeng, Shu Jiuyin, Shu Baoshan, watched this scene with complex emotions; they witnessed the glory of the present.

But the older generation will never have the chance to see it.

"Your Majesty's grace!"

"Our people, for thousands of generations, are willing to die for you, my lord!"

Three Golden Core Demon General, leading a hundred thousand Rat Race demons, bowed their heads in worship, their voices shaking the valley, and the entire clan was willing to die for them.

Shi Jian stood in the void and accepted this bow.

He deserves this bow!

"Manage this place well. The future of my Myriad Demon Domain rests on my shoulders, and also on yours. All belong to my Demon Race!"

Leaving these words behind, Shi Jian's figure transformed into a bolt of lightning and vanished into nothingness.

At the summit of Purple Firmament Peak.

Shi Jian sat cross-legged on the futon, with the six Jade Slip he had brought back from the Void Pavilion floating in front of him. He was not in a hurry to open his own secret realm.

With the Void Nether Stone Marrow, the Realm King Crystal, and the Great Void Divine Sand, he could create a vast secret realm at any time.

But what interests him more now are these six traditions.

His Divine Sense probed into the first Jade Slip, the "Grand Firmament Void True Scripture".

Half an hour later, Shi Jian opened his eyes, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Immortal Foundation: [Thread of Sky], primarily focused on spatial exploration and the creation of new realms, emphasizing warfare and expansion."

He continued examining the second one, the "Great Luo Transposition Method".

"Immortal Foundation: [Great Luo Heaven], specializing in spatial teleportation and sealing, advocating the mysteries of Space Dao transformation."

Over the next few days, Shi Jian read through the remaining four inheritances; these six inheritances each represented a completely different type of Space Dao Immortal Foundation.

Every cultivation method, when practiced to its extreme, can lead to the Nascent Soul stage.

The more Shi Jian studied, the more excited he became, and he saw the future and the path he was about to take.

He arranged the six Jade Slip in a specific orientation in front of him.

"[Thread of Sky], [Great Luo Heaven], [Void Penetration Heaven], [Mustard Seed Space], [Boundless Place], [Supreme Void Realm]..."

Shi Jian muttered to himself, these six types of Immortal Foundation are not isolated after all!

These six types of Immortal Foundation all resonate with each other in their cultivation of True Intention and the rationality of their Daoist principles, and all point to the same goal.

It's like six components, all pointing to the same fruit!

In the ancient texts mentioned by the White Crane, the realm above the Nascent Soul stage is the Spirit Transformation; however, the Spirit Transformation is not the end. If a Spirit Transformation cultivator wishes to advance further, they can achieve the legendary Dao Venerable realm.

Nascent Soul cultivators cultivate a single Immortal Foundation, while Deity Spirit Transformation cultivate multiple Immortal Foundation of the same nature.

Finally, when the cultivation reaches perfection, one seeks confirmation from Heaven.

One can then control a portion of the rationality of a certain complete Great Dao; this is the [Dao Venerable Dao Fruit], and this position is unique.

There are people above, and the roadside below is blocked.

Furthermore, the Dao Venerable can completely dominate all cultivators of this Great Dao of Reason.

Inside the Void Pavilion of the Supreme Purity Sect, this is not some Nascent Soul inheritance; it is clearly a Heavenly Path that leads directly to the Dao Venerable!

Could it be that the legend from ten thousand years ago is true?

There truly was Spirit Transformation Lord who arrived at Xuanling and bestowed upon Human Race various techniques, leaving behind a legacy; but why, after so many years, has no one in Xuanling broken through to the Spirit Transformation realm?

Not even mentioning the Spirit Transformation.

It seems that he never saw Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator from beginning to end.

And then there's the Kunyuan Secret Realm, which opens only once every hundred years. To this day, it seems no one has ever truly understood its secrets. What exactly is hidden within?

There is a direct lineage to the Dao Venerable, and the Kunyuan Secret Realm left behind by the Spirit Transformation Lord of Transformation.

And what kind of secret realm could be so vast, spanning thousands or even tens of thousands of miles...?

Also, how do I leave Xuanling?

The Dao of Universe points directly into space, and the Immortal Lord of the Nascent Soul stage left behind the legacy of the Dao Venerable of the Dao of Universe. Coupled with the immense Kunyuan Secret Realm, it is impossible to leave...

Could it be that the entire Boundless Sea and Xuanling are merely a secret realm?

Or perhaps, it is a forgotten realm in the void, and the upper limit of this realm can only be the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

This explains why there are no Nascent Soul Late Stage.

"No way..."

"Is it possible that in the end, everyone will be trapped and die in this world?!"
