The Celestial Bestowment Realm didn't look very big and spacious. What came into view was an enormous island floating in space.
Most conspicuous of all were the ten thick chains that stretched out around the island, stretching across half of the starry sky.
The ends of the chains disappeared into the darkness in the distance, making it impossible to tell what was on the other side.
Each chain would take ten people to wrap around it, and they were covered in rust and traces of metal clashing.
"That's Celestial Bestowment Island. It's the only place in the Celestial Bestowment Realm that foreign cultivators can set foot in."
"What are those chains?"
Su Zimo asked. "What's connected to the other end of the chains?"
"Legend has it that the ends of the Celestial Bestowment Chains are the ten great sinful lands, where many evil spirits and sinful spirits are imprisoned. However, those areas are forbidden and no one is allowed to approach them."
The ten great sinful lands?
Evil spirits and sinful spirits?
Su Zimo frowned slightly and looked at the end of the ten Heaven Crowning Locks in deep thought.
Not only was the darkness impenetrable to the naked eye, even his consciousness would vanish when he tried to probe it.
For some reason, Su Zimo felt an inexplicable sense of discomfort after arriving in the Celestial Bestowment Realm. Everything around him was oppressive.
After five days of recuperation, Meng Hao and the thousands of survivors from the Seven Stars Sword Realm had recovered from their injuries and were able to move about freely.
Everyone walked out of the boat's lounge and looked around curiously at the legendary Celestial Bestowment Realm.
Lu Yun stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the cultivators on board. "This is the first time most of you have come to the Celestial Bestowment Realm, so there are a few rules I must explain.
"There's a type of formidable restriction energy in the Celestial Tribute World. Besides certain areas, no conflict is allowed anywhere else. Otherwise, one would definitely be mercilessly annihilated by the restriction energy in the Celestial Tribute World!"
"You may not be able to sense it, but immortal kings like me can't even release their own grotto-heavens in the Celestial Bestowment Realm.
"It's said that the worlds of great emperors will be suppressed in the Celestial Bestowment Realm."
Everyone's hearts skipped a beat.
Even Imperial Emperors would be restricted in the Celestial Tribute World!
Yu Lan added, "So, don't take any chances. Just like here, on Heavenvenerate Island, don't fight with others."
"The Celestial Bestowment World is a very special place. No matter your identity or race, you can only stay for ten days after entering. After ten days, if you don't take the initiative to leave, you will be obliterated by the Celestial Bestowment Realm! "
"After leaving, the next time you want to enter the Celestial Tribute World, you will have to wait a thousand years."
Although everyone felt that this rule was a little strange, they could understand it.
If there were no such rules, the countless beings of the three thousand worlds would flock here and refuse to leave. The entire Celestial Tribute World wouldn't be able to hold them all.
Su Zimo suddenly asked, "The specific area that Brother Lu mentioned just now is the Evil Demon Battlefield that you mentioned before?"
He'd mentioned the Fiend Battlefield on his way to the Celestial Tribute World.
However, before he could explain in detail, he encountered the Seven Star Sword Realm.
Lu Yun nodded. "That's right. Only in the Fiend Battlefield can one fight and kill as one pleases. The entrance to the Fiend Battlefield is on Celestial Tribute Island. "
Apart from Lin Xunzhen and the others, this was the first time most of the cultivators had heard of the Fiend Battlefield.
Lu Yun explained, "The Fiend Battlefield is similar to an ancient battlefield. It's a special space. It's called the Fiend Battlefield because of the many powerful fiends and sinful spirits that live there!
"These fiends and sinful spirits come from the ten sinful lands!"
"What exactly are these fiends and sinful spirits?"
This was not the first time Su Zimo had heard Lu Yun mention this phrase.
"The fiends and sinful spirits refer to some special and powerful beings. They're cruel, vicious, and inhumane, such as the yaksha ghosts and the Shura tribe."
"Hmm?"
Su Zimo's interest piqued.
He'd learned from Wu Dao's primary body that the beings of the ghost realm were the legendary yakshas.
The ghost realm and the middle realm were two independent worlds. There was an impenetrable barrier between them that only great emperors could break through.
But now, the yakshas had appeared in the middle realm and were called fiends and sinful spirits!
The Shura tribe was likely a unique being born from the Shura realm.
The beings of the ghost realm and the Shura realm were called fiends and sinful spirits by the Celestial Tribute World!
If he wasn't mistaken, the netherkin of the hell realm was likely the same kind of fiend as the Celestial Tribute World.
Su Zimo mused, "What are sinful spirits?"
"It's said that they're the descendants of some races that were bewitched by fiends and committed heinous crimes during the Primordial Era."
Yu Lan said, "There are all kinds of races among the sinful spirits' descendants. There are even quite a few human cultivators. But remember, they're sinful spirits and no different from fiends. You don't have to show mercy when the time comes! "
Lin Xunzhen, Wang Dong, and the others nodded.
They seemed to have been to the Fiend Battlefield before and were no strangers to such matters.
Su Zimo frowned slightly and remained silent.
In that case, many of the fiends in the Fiend Battlefield should also be descendants of the yakshas and the Shura race from the Primordial Era.
But at the same time, another question arose in Su Zimo's mind.
"Since they're called sinful spirits, what heinous crimes did they commit back then?"
Su Zimo suddenly asked.
Omnipotent Justice said, "Those sinful spirits were once bewitched by fiends and became enemies with all races, aiding the evildoer in his evil deeds. Their crimes were heinous!"
Su Zimo asked again, "But that's a matter of the Primordial Era. These sinful spirits are only their descendants. What do they have to do with the Primordial Era?"
Yu Lan said, "Brother Su, you might not know this, but those fiends are savage by nature and are extremely hostile to us beings of the upper realm. No matter how many generations pass down, their nature will never change."
Su Zimo had a deep understanding of this point.
In the Infernal World, when the beings of hell heard that he came from the upper realm, most of them would develop immense hostility and killing intent!
"What about the sinful spirits inside?"
Su Zimo asked, "They were born in this era with countless generations between them. They have nothing to do with the mistakes of their ancestors in the Primordial Era. Why do they have to bear all this?"
Lu Yun, Yu Lan, and the others were stunned for a moment, stumped by the question.
It was as if someone had committed a heinous crime and had already been punished.
No matter how many generations or how many years had passed, their descendants would still be implicated.
The moment they were born, their descendants were branded with the mark of sin and had to be punished, unable to turn over a new leaf for the rest of their lives!
However, what did these descendants have to do with the heinous crimes of the past?
After a moment, Yu Lan said hesitantly, "I think … hmm, the blood of sin also flows in the bodies of these sinful spirits' descendants."
Although that was the case, Yu Lan's tone was somewhat uncertain.
Lu Yun and the other peak masters fell into deep thought as well.
Gongsun Yu looked at Su Zimo and said with a smile, "Peak master, you'll know when you enter the Fiend Battlefield. Inside, even if you're benevolent, those fiend sinful spirits won't let us off. "
"Those fiend sinful spirits are each more vicious than the other. In the Fiend Battlefield, it's a fight to the death. There's no other choice!"
