[The resources and materials required by Nascent Soul cultivators are even rarer, most of which cannot even be priced with top-grade spirit stones.]
[Therefore, under the leadership of several late-stage Nascent Soul Venerables, the Nascent Soul cultivators in the eastern part of the Wanlang Mountains hold a trading conference every fifty years to barter and exchange goods.]
[You have been informed that the next Nascent Soul Trading Conference will commence in five years, and you are quite interested.]
[You will soon get to know many Nascent Soul cultivators through this market and obtain Nascent Soul resources.]
[Materials at the Nascent Soul level are pitifully scarce, not to mention daily cultivation pills. Zhu Xing can be considered half an alchemist, but he is only skilled in a few ancient pill recipes and is not really focused on this.]
[With your tier seven array expertise, you can exchange for more benefits.]
[The memories you obtained from the Vast Mist have also given you some insights. If the Blessed Land that the Flying Star Cultivation Realm is about to discover is so powerful that the three of you cannot resist, you can always pay a certain price to rally support.]
[Summon many like-minded comrades to aid you.]
[This time, you have gained considerably.]
[You also discovered that the location of the Flying Star Cultivation Realm seems to be right at the center of the Wanlang Mountains, with several large-scale cultivation realms already interconnected in the west.]
[It seems there are also several large-scale cultivation realms in the east.]
[You also heard from Yunmiao that she once sensed some powerful presences in the north, and beyond the many spiritless lands north of the Flying Star Cultivation Realm, there appear to be powerful cultivation realms.]
[In the year 5354 of the New Source Era, news reached another tier seven array master in the western cultivation realms of the Wanlang Mountains, and he came after hearing it.]
[You and he are the only two tier seven array masters in the western part of the Wanlang Mountains.]
[The array systems you both practice are different, and the two of you sit and discuss the Dao, each gaining insights from the other.]
[His name is Lvx Mu, the only Nascent Soul cultivator of a certain large-scale cultivation realm, and he invites you to visit his cultivation realm.] fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
[You happily accept, and along the way, the two of you discuss the Dao and feel the Heaven and Earth Dao, and for a time, both of you sense each other’s talent and attainments in arrays, lamenting only that you met too late, and you became close friends.]
[In the year 5355 of the New Source Era, you returned to the Flying Star Cultivation Realm to prepare to discuss matters about the Nascent Soul Trading Conference with Zhu Xing and Yunmiao.]
[However, you received unexpected news.]
"Have you heard the news about that Blessed Land?"
"Did I not instruct you all to refrain from acting rashly?"
Zhong Heng’s brows furrowed slightly.
The aura around him was like Mount Tai pressing down, and the Golden Core Elders half-kneeling before Zhong Heng all had cold sweat on their foreheads, not daring to take a deep breath. frёewebnoѵēl.com
The strength of the Blessed Land is unknown, and at least he needs to break through to mid-stage Nascent Soul before exploring it.
Zhong Heng’s proficiency in the Array Dao is formidable, and with the teachings from the Immortal Venerable, after breaking through to mid-stage Nascent Soul and setting up a grand array with the five drops of True Blood from the Five Elements Sacred Beasts and endless Qi of the Five Elements, even late-stage Nascent Soul could be matched in battle without losing.
The leading Golden Core Elder, under pressure, said, "Reporting to the Ancestor, it was truly unexpected..."
Zhong Heng’s aura receded, and the many Elders all breathed a sigh of relief.
This action was actually Zhong Heng reprimanding them.
Though the Nascent Soul Ancestor is a pinnacle in one cultivation realm, the Nascent Soul Ancestors spend most of their time cultivating.
The power of influence still rests in the hands of these Golden Core Elders.
Zhong Heng is just knocking them down a peg.
The respect for Zhong Heng deepened in the hearts of several elders, especially those Golden Core Masters who had not witnessed the Ancestor’s might in recent years since their breakthrough.
The leading Golden Core Elder quickly explained the situation.
It turns out that a direct disciple of the Celestial Rainbow Alliance accidentally fell into that Blessed Land World while on a mission in a Secret Realm.
And they’ve been gone for over thirty years.
This individual held a Celestial Rainbow Ring, had an exceptional aptitude, and since their cultivation was not very high and did not stand out, they washed clean and joined a sect of that world.
And through the advantage of the Celestial Rainbow Ring and their own talent, they rose to prominence.
Over thirty years later, this individual has become a direct disciple of a sect named the Star Moon Sword Sect in that realm.
A few days ago, they contacted many Elders of the Celestial Rainbow Alliance through the Celestial Rainbow Ring.
The information in the Celestial Rainbow Ring was also synchronized to the Celestial Rainbow Tower, and suddenly, before the Celestial Rainbow Alliance could take action, most of the information about that Blessed Land World was obtained.
"Sword Dao World, Righteous vs. Demonic strife..."
"Void Abyss disaster, Sword God inheritance..."
Zhong Heng’s eyes glimmered with light.
Being Sword Dao dominant is not uncommon.
After all, Sword Cultivators are the most lethal among cultivators.
Righteous vs. Demonic conflict is also not rare; most cultivation realms blend Righteous and Demonic paths for practicality.
Only Evil Cultivators, who sacrifice mortals and uproot cultivator realms, are universally targeted.
Yet, many cultivation realms are still rife with Righteous vs. Demonic conflict, often due to ideological disputes, or perhaps because the realm once had or currently has two Nascent Soul Ancestors who practice Righteous and Demonic paths respectively, causing a heritage dispute.
But this world is vastly different.
"Void Abyss..."
Zhong Heng murmured the term.
Two thousand years ago, the great upheaval shattered Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm.
The most expansive and powerful Central State was the most brutally fragmented.
To this day, few know what truly occurred then.
And those ’cracks’ left in the shattered Central State are known as the Void Abyss.
The term Void Abyss was recently learned by Zhong Heng from Lvx Mu.
The Void Abyss is more terrifying than spiritless lands; the latter simply lacks Spiritual Qi and cannot support cultivation.
The Void Abyss absorbs Spiritual Qi.
Even Nascent Soul cultivators find it hard to traverse the Void Abyss without the aid of Spiritual Treasures.
The concept of the Wanlang Mountains also stems from the Void Abyss; the region divided and encircled by the Void Abyss is named the Wanlang Mountains.
Meanwhile, the Void Abyss also unpredictably breeds Void Abyss Beasts.
Weaker Void Abyss Beasts can be resisted by medium-sized cultivation realms.
Larger beast tides require the cooperation of all cultivators in the west to withstand.
No one knows where the Void Abyss Beasts originate from.
There have been bloodline experts who studied the beasts, finding that the bloodlines within are mixed, containing traces of the Human Race, the Demon Race, and even some rare races.
Some have even extracted a strand of Holy Beast True Blood from a Void Abyss Beast King.
While formidable and terrifying, the Void Abyss Beasts are also treasures.
Amidst the scarcity of cultivation resources, the Void Abyss Beasts are a significant resource point.
However, the attacks by Void Abyss Beasts are sporadic.
The cultivation realms in the western Wanlang Mountains near the Void Abyss are both joyful and troubled, able to gain more resources but also facing the risk of annihilation.
And this particular Blessed Land World surprisingly has a Void Abyss.
Within the Void Abyss, Void Abyss Beasts also appear periodically.
But unlike the Wanlang Mountains’ cultivators, who desire Void Abyss Beasts, this Blessed Land seems somewhat overwhelmed by them.
As a result, Sword Dao is flourishing.
Choosing Sword Dao as the first Path of Cultivation is due to its unparalleled lethality in the world.
Moreover, this world is not purely based on Sword Dao; its cultivation system is considered complete, with the presence of Masters of Hundred Arts.
And the Righteous vs. Demonic conflict is also related to the Void Abyss. Righteous Dao adheres to traditional cultivation paths, while Demon Dao uses Void Abyss Beasts for cultivation, seeking to counteract Void Abyss Beasts with their power.
In Zhong Heng’s view, they seem to have developed a technique allowing the bloodline of Void Abyss Beasts to be infused into themselves in exchange for power.
However, the cost is... evident.
At best, one’s path becomes chaotic; at worst, they become a Void Abyss Beast themselves.
Thus, this is a Blessed Land World where Sword Dao thrives, inheritance is complete, the Righteous vs. Demonic conflict persists, and the Void Abyss looms beside it.
Yet...
"It indeed has Nascent Soul cultivators..."
"Three Righteous sects, Four Demon Palaces."
"Each can essentially be considered a Nascent Soul Sect, though they are mostly the weakest type, with their strongest generally being early-stage Nascent Soul..."
"But this also signifies at least seven Nascent Soul cultivators, and the number of Nascent Souls in the shadows is unknown..."
Zhong Heng’s eyes revealed a spark of interest.
He glanced at the top of the intelligence report at the name of this cultivation realm.
"Void Realm."
