One day later.
Wang Qicang stepped onto the bamboo raft once more and set out. All along the way, he gazed at magnificent mountains and rivers, but the grandeur before him was no longer what it had been in his childhood. The sky was still the same sky, but the people were no longer the same.
The heaven domain's order was rigid and severe.
Half of the Desolate Heaven Domain was a land of exile. Entering it meant living among the ferocious beasts of the Ten Thousand Clans. Though Heaven and Earth were boundless, the divine senses of the powerful beasts of the Ten Thousand Clans were "just as boundless."
Only later did he learn.
Wang Qicang listened to the voices of all things and captured a few little demons that tried to kill him. Only then did he slowly understand that this was a hunting ground for several great figures of the Immortal Domain, and the ancient ferocious beasts were their quarry.
The living beings of the Ten Thousand Clans thrown into it were the fodder they used to rear those beasts.
The wagers behind this hunting ground were enormous, involving thousands of factions.
As for demons, the Three Thousand Immortal Territories no longer had a demon race, only some insignificant little crossbred demons.
The sanctuaries and clan lands of ancient powers such as the Longevity Wang Family, the Longevity Ye Family, and the Jun Family all lay within this land of exile, which occupied half of the Desolate Heaven Domain. Through the influence of the secret realms in these ancient great clans' ancestral lands, Immortal Bone manifestations, remnant formations, forbidden grounds, and so on...
Natural zones of exile and hunting had formed.
From time to time, vicious "criminal cultivators" from across the heavens even descended into this domain.
