Chapter 501: A Message from Tai Mi, Lingyu Enters the Great Wilderness

"He's not lying!" Yu Yan nodded.

Xue Ji was just a lingering soul, trapped within the Soul-Trapping Jar, and with Yu Yan's Little Heavenly Eye, there was no way he could hide a lie.

Since Xue Ji was telling the truth, Jiang Buping lost interest and turned to leave, ready to seclude himself and prepare for his breakthrough. Meng Chong also continued his cultivation, striving to break through as soon as possible.

Yu Yan, too, continued his training, delving deeper into the mysteries of the Heavenly Realm, refining his various divine abilities, and further solidifying his power in this realm.

Fang Hao returned to his seclusion as well, leaving the affairs of the Green Lotus Sect in the hands of Da Yue Huang and the others.

Su Lingxiu and Yue'er, full of enthusiasm, carried the jar into a seclusion room, eager to study the remnants of Xue Ji's soul. They wanted to unravel the mysteries within, curious about the peculiarities of a soul that had once belonged to a Little Realm Master. They wondered if there were any shortcuts that could enhance a soul to the Realm Master level prematurely.

Yue'er, in particular, was thrilled by this prospect. If they succeeded in their research, it meant that once she broke through to the Supreme Realm, she could take this shortcut and enhance her soul to the Realm Master level. That would make her eventual breakthrough to the Realm Master level a smooth and effortless process.

Just like how her soul was currently much stronger than other warriors of the same level, thanks to her work as Su Lingxiu's assistant, where she had gained a deeper understanding of souls and had the aid of soul-enhancing pills during her cultivation.

Xue Ji, at this moment, was feeling extremely anxious. The gazes of these two young girls made him feel like they were about to do something terrible to him!

"Ladies, let's talk this over. If there's anything you need from me, just ask, and I'll cooperate fully!" Xue Ji was intimidated.

"Whether you cooperate or not doesn't matter. You can't resist anyway!" Su Lingxiu said with a smile.

"Yes, it's best if you don't try to resist. Otherwise, if something goes wrong or some cruel accident occurs, don't blame us. Just cooperate nicely, and I assure you, there won't be any pain. We are very experienced in this kind of research!" Yue'er added.

The more Xue Ji heard, the more his heart pounded with unease.

Bang!

The door to the seclusion room closed, and Xue Ji's heart skipped a beat.

The array lit up, and inside the room was a jade platform with various bottles and jars. Xue Ji's eyes widened as he swallowed nervously.

Within the jars were unmelted True Spirits, and he could even see some souls. There were also corpses that had lost their souls, leaving only their physical bodies behind.

On the jade platform were some items he couldn't understand, as well as some unusual lines and a strange instrument.

He even spotted a slender, sharp knife. Incredibly, this knife seemed to be imbued with infinite vitality, which was truly astonishing.

Dong!

The jar was placed on the jade platform, and a hollow appeared, swallowing half of the jar. Then, some lines were pasted onto the jar.

Xue Ji felt something unusual happening within the jar. It was as if some special power, or perhaps a law-defying force, was seeping into the jar and slowly wrapping around his lingering soul.

"Don't resist and don't move around. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens and you experience intense pain, you'll have only yourself to blame. Unless, of course, you're a Realm Master-level expert who enjoys enduring unknown pain as a lingering soul. In that case, feel free to resist."

"Actually, I'd like you to resist. That way, I can study the unusual changes that occur in a soul under extreme pain, especially a Realm Master-level soul like yours.

"Perhaps I'll be able to develop a pill formula or technique that can ignore or withstand soul-wrenching pain." Su Lingxiu said, her eyes narrowed in excitement as she worked.

Gu-dong!

Xue Ji's lingering soul trembled. Never before had he felt so terrified of these beautiful young girls. They looked so innocent, yet they were so frightening and made his soul shudder.

Too scary!

"I won't resist! I absolutely won't!" Xue Ji decided to cooperate fully. Since he couldn't escape and these were his terrifying disciples, he might as well play it safe. Who knows, maybe he would find an opportunity to recover his strength along the way.

...

In the Deep Abyss of the Earth Shadow Realm, the mist suddenly churned, and the entire realm shook violently.

A pair of eyes faintly appeared within the mist, gazing toward a certain location in the Divine Realm.

"Xiao Yao, is it you? If so, then let me test the strength of the leader of the Seven Prodigies of Tai Cang." The Realm Master of Earth Shadow's eyes narrowed.

The true spirits of the Mist Beast and Yin Jue had both perished.

However, according to their agreement, if the mastermind behind this incident was one of the suspected individuals, they would shatter the sensing treasure.

These sensing treasures were embedded within their souls, and with a mere thought, they could be shattered. Thus, even if they were instantly killed, they could still activate the shatter mechanism in time.

"It's about time. I, the Realm Master of Earth Shadow, should also take my leave."

The Realm Master of Earth Shadow fell silent. Before departing, he still had some preparations to make.

Boom!

Finally, the Earth Shadow Realm was preliminarily connected to the Divine Realm. At this moment, the Divine Transcendence cultivators from the Way Domain began to enter the Earth Shadow Realm, making their way to the Divine Realm.

The preliminary fusion of the Way Domain and the Divine Realm, along with the emergence of the Dao patterns brought about by the changes in heaven and earth, also surged out of the Earth Shadow Realm at this moment, flooding into the Divine Realm.

The cultivation limit in the Divine Realm was constantly being raised, even gradually restoring the state before the Great War of the Heavens and Earth, free from the shackles of cultivation limits.

But this was just the first step. In the following time, this change would gradually spread to the Spirit Realm and the Inner Realm, eventually unifying the heavens and the earth and restoring the state of the heavens and the earth before the Great War.

Of course, this would be a lengthy process and couldn't be achieved in a short period.

However, the Divine Realm was the starting point for the unification of the heavens and the earth, and it would undoubtedly bring about some tremendous changes. In this upheaval, one might gain some insights and opportunities, breaking through their cultivation bottlenecks.

This was also one of the reasons why many Divine Transcendence cultivators from the Way Domain had entered the Divine Realm.

The Supreme Divine Transcendence realm was a massive bottleneck, and countless Divine Transcendence cultivators were stuck below it, unable to make any progress. Naturally, these cultivators would want to seize any opportunity to break through.

The Divine Transcendence cultivators who descended upon the Divine Realm were not only seeking opportunities and insights to break free from their shackles, but the upper echelon experts from the major powers of the Divine Realm were also aiming to solidify their control over the Divine Realm.

Tai Miao Realm, within the Tai Miao God Sect.

Xin Mengrou's aura became increasingly dreamlike, yet it also carried a sense of authenticity, seemingly diverging from the initial Dream Dao and forging her own path.

In front of the statue, Xin Mengrou was quietly cultivating. After returning, she had reported everything she learned from the Dao Ancestor to the Tai Miao Ancestor.

She had resolved the Tai Miao Ancestor's confusion, but whether the Tai Miao Ancestor could gain enlightenment from it was beyond Xin Mengrou's concern; she still had a long way to go.

About half a month after she conveyed the Dao Ancestor's guidance to the Tai Miao Ancestor, the Tai Miao Ancestor unexpectedly took her on as a disciple, which took Xin Mengrou by surprise.

Because of this, Xin Mengrou's status in the Tai Miao God Sect skyrocketed.

As a personal disciple of the sect ancestor, her status was the most revered in the Tai Miao God Sect, and even in the Way Domain's Tai Miao Realm, it was held in the highest esteem.

Tai Miao was an ancient ruler of a small heaven and earth, and her strength was unfathomable. While no one knew exactly how powerful she was, it was almost certain that she was one of the strongest rulers of a small heaven and earth, second only to the seven rulers of the great heavens and earth.

With Xin Mengrou becoming one of Tai Miao's personal disciples, her status in the Way Domain was also extraordinary. Even though her strength was still weak, even Supreme Divine Transcendence cultivators wouldn't dare to offend her casually, mindful of her identity.

Tai Miao hadn't taken on a disciple in a very long time. Now that she had suddenly accepted a disciple, it was clear that this disciple held an extraordinary place in her heart.

From this matter of being accepted as a personal disciple, Xin Mengrou guessed that the Tai Miao Ancestor must have gained enlightenment from the Dao Ancestor's guidance. She should have overcome her difficulties and was on the path to recovery.

On this day, the statue suddenly opened its eyes.

"Ancestral Master!" Xin Mengrou hurriedly bowed.

"Not bad. Your Dream Dao already has your own interpretation," Tai Miao's voice echoed.

"I gained some insights with the guidance of the Dao Ancestor," Xin Mengrou respectfully replied.

"The Divine Transcendence cultivators from the Way Domain have already descended upon the Divine Realm. Ao Ming of the True Dragon Clan is leading the four Supreme True Spirits, and there's also some movement from Tian Sha..."

Tai Miao conveyed the news from the Way Domain, the movements in various realms, and the matter of the Divine Transcendence cultivators entering the Divine Realm to Xin Mengrou. Her purpose was simple—to have Xin Mengrou pass this information to Xu Yan and the others.

Although Xu Yan was a disciple of the Dao Ancestor and naturally wouldn't fear these powers, being able to deliver the message ahead of time was still a friendly gesture.

After conveying the message, Tai Miao gave Xin Mengrou some guidance before the statue fell silent again.

Xin Mengrou took out a message talisman and sent the information she had received to Wu Tiannan, asking him to pass it on.

Boom!

The Dao patterns surging from the Great Harmony Realm swept across the Thirty-Five Realms, and the Qinghua Realm was also slightly trembling. Fang Hao was taking advantage of this upheaval in the heavens and the earth to further enhance the Qinghua Grand Array.

Hence, he was extremely busy.

Within the Jiushan Territory, Chi Cat had returned, and the three great Demon Kings had gathered. Under their command, the twelve Demon Generals exuded a formidable demonic aura, proclaiming to the world that Jiushan was the land of the demon race.

They officially occupied the Jiushan Realm as the territory of the demon race.

Having cultivated the Great Demon God's passage, their strength was no weaker than that of a Tianhe Realm warrior and might even surpass them.

What excited these Demon Generals even more was that their progress was not hindered by the constraints of their bloodlines. They could continue to improve without the limitation of reaching the upper limit of their bloodline's potential.

On this day, Chi Cat led the Twelve Demon Generals into the Changyun Territory, their overwhelming demon aura carving out a large area along the border with Changyun as a buffer zone.

This naturally led to conflicts with the major powers of the Changyun Territory, and it was during these clashes that the strong of the Divine Realm realized with shock the extent of the demons' power.

Especially the Great Demon King, whose formidable demon might easily suppressed three Tianhe Realm warriors.

Finally, a vast area bordering the Jiushan Territory in the Changyun Realm became a buffer zone, and the Wan Family of Dageshan Mountain in the Jiushan Territory relocated to this new land, leaving their ancestral home behind.

The Wan Family had no objections to this arrangement, as this area in the Changyun Territory was even more spacious than Dageshan Mountain, and by serving as a buffer zone, they could continue to maintain amicable relations with the demons.

From this point on, the Jiushan Territory was completely transformed into demon territory.

The landscape of the Divine Realm was changing, and these shifts continued unabated, while subtle transformations were also occurring in the Spirit Realm.

Everyone knew about the Heavenly Dao, comprehended it, and cultivated it.

With the supreme concept of the Heavenly Dao in their hearts, they sought to comprehend it, break through their own shackles, and ascend in their martial path without limits!

Finally, a warrior comprehended the Heavenly Dao, and with sudden enlightenment, broke through the constraints of the martial path, entering the Ning Fa Realm. This news spread, shaking the martial world of the Spirit Realm.

From this point on, from the moment one embarked on the martial path, or even for older warriors stuck at the Refining God Realm and unable to progress, all strived to comprehend the Heavenly Dao, embracing it in their hearts.

Even during disciple acceptance ceremonies, sects would set up incense tables, burn incense to honor the Heavenly Dao, and respectfully invite it to witness the occasion.

Furthermore, when warriors made transactions, they would swear oaths to the Heavenly Dao to gain each other's trust.

After someone suffered the Heavenly Dao's punishment for breaking their oath, everyone knew that violating a Heavenly Dao oath would incur heavenly retribution!

Thus, a Heavenly Dao oath became sufficient to establish trust.

In just a few short years, the entire atmosphere of the martial world in the Spirit Realm transformed, becoming utterly unrecognizable from its initial state and vastly different from the Divine Realm.

Moreover, concepts like the beginning of the Heavenly Dao and the Great Wilderness Heaven and Earth spread throughout the Spirit Realm, taking root in people's hearts, and they gradually began to refer to themselves as warriors of the Great Wilderness.

One day, the gate to the Spirit Realm opened.

No!

It wasn't just opened; the barrier between the Spirit Realm and the Inner Realm disappeared entirely, merging the two realms into one.

The Great Wilderness expanded!

Spirit Realm warriors stepped into what they had once considered a barren Inner Realm and were astounded to discover that it was part of the Great Wilderness, the birthplace of the Heavenly Dao.

And within this barren Inner Realm was Canglan Island, the sacred land of the Heavenly Dao!

Some Spirit Realm powerhouses, overwhelmed with emotion, journeyed to Canglan Island, seeking to enter the sacred land to better comprehend the Heavenly Dao. However, they were blasted back to the Spirit Realm by Xu Junhe and the others, who had already reached the Divine Transcendence Realm.

Xu Junhe and his companions, now at the Divine Transcendence Realm, demonstrated their power, shocking the strong of the Spirit Realm.

The martial world of the Inner Realm, claiming to be the orthodox successors of the Great Wilderness, clashed with the Spirit Realm's martial world, resulting in a resounding victory for the Inner Realm. From then on, the Spirit Realm also came under the jurisdiction of the Great Wilderness, subject to the constraints of the sacred land of Canglan Island.

Furthermore, the Spirit Realm began establishing Great Wilderness Martial Colleges to impart the orthodox Great Wilderness martial path.

Both the Inner and Spirit Realms had become part of the Great Wilderness, and Tianzi, the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, reaped significant benefits from this development.

"This is the Heavenly Dao!"

Tianzi's embodiment of the Heavenly Dao appeared on Canglan Island, filled with endless awe. His gaze turned towards the Divine Realm, for soon, he would extend the reach of the Heavenly Dao into that realm as well.

However, before that, he needed to perfect the operation of the current Great Wilderness Heavenly Dao, ensuring the flawless enforcement of the Heavenly Dao's rules.

"The shackles binding me are almost gone. I wonder what my Heavenly Dao will be like when it encompasses the entire world?"

Tianzi looked forward to this future.

"The Dao Ancestor said that Xiao Yao is comprehending the aura of the Heavenly Dao. If he can forge a path forward because of this, it will have a significant impact on my Heavenly Dao and this world.

"The other Realm Masters are all nourishment for the Heavenly Dao, allowing this world to quickly grow stronger and become more expansive.

"What Taicang couldn't accomplish, I, Tianzi, can. One day, I will punish the Unchanging Divine Temple in the name of the Heavenly Dao!"

The more Tianzi thought about it, the more excited he became, anticipating the day when he could punish the Unchanging Divine Temple with the mighty power of the Heavenly Dao.
