Xu Rui and the other two took turns to steer the spirit boat out of the forest, heading in the same direction. Day and night alternated, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.
Speaking of which, Xu Rui and the other two had passed through more than ten prefectures on their way here.
When the three of them arrived at the ascension altar, they were all injured.
But on their way back, it was a daunting experience without any mishaps.
According to Chen Qianhe, there were a total of 108 prefectures in the southeast of the Great Thousand World, all of which were originally occupied by the plant race.
After the upheaval six billion years ago, the Primal Chaos Sacred Ground was destroyed, and the southeast was in a mess. Experts from other races gradually rose, and the plant race declined day by day.
Today, the 108 prefectures were considered first-rate forces in the Great Thousand World, and most of them were ruled by powerful beings from other races.
As for the human race, their status was extremely low among the thousands of races in the Great Thousand World.
The human race was born weak, and their bloodline was ordinary. They were at the bottom of the thousands of races, and they were even inferior to the plant race.
This situation was similar in the Lesser Thousand World and Middle Thousand World.
However, the human race would often give birth to some peerless experts that could suppress the thousands of races.
Chen Qianhe also mentioned that there were 33 Heavens in the northwest of the Great Thousand World, and they were ruled by a powerful race called the Heavenly Human Race.
Legend had it that the Heavenly Human Race was extremely powerful. When they were born, they were close to the Great Dao, and their cultivation speed was extremely fast.
This was what Chen Qianhe heard from her ancestors, and she didn't know the details.
The three of them had never left the southeast of the Great Thousand World, and they had never seen the real Heavenly Human Race.
On this day, the four of them finally entered the territory of the Canopy State.
Su Zimo sat on the spirit boat, and when he looked down, he couldn't help but laugh.
As far as the eye could see, there was a large cluster of colorful mushrooms that covered the mountains and plains.
There were large mushrooms that soared into the sky like a huge canopy, covering the sky. There were colorful butterflies flying, giant pythons coiling, and many poisonous spiders weaving webs in the corners...
There were many living beings living on it, and it was like a small world!
Su Zimo and the others passed by below. Compared to it, they were as small as ants.
Some of the mushrooms were only the size of a finger, and their shapes were mostly the same. Looking down from above and surveying the surroundings, they really did seem like numerous canopies that stood on this boundless land.
Of course, there were other types of vegetation in the Canagai State, but the mushrooms were the majority.
Chen Qianhe said, "These mushroom groups in the Canagai State are not very aggressive. Generally, they will not take the initiative to attack other races. However, you have to be careful. Some mushrooms are highly toxic and should not be touched."
"According to our ancestors, when the Sacred Land of Chaos was still around and the Floral Clan was at its peak, a Dao Master expert came to the Canopy Gai State and ate a poisonous mushroom by mistake.
Su Zimo nodded secretly.
It was a poisonous mushroom, but it could poison an expert like Dao Master. It was indeed powerful.
"Fellow Daoist Su, after reaching the Primal Chaos Palace, you must remember not to walk around casually and stay too far away."
Chen Qianhe warned again, "There are many types of poisonous mushrooms in Canopy Gai State. Some of them can be recognized at a glance, but some are good at disguising themselves. They look harmless but are actually extremely poisonous."
"If you accidentally touch it, your life will be in danger!"
Su Zimo nodded and replied casually.
When Xu Rui saw that Su Zimo did not seem to think much of it, he could not help but frown and remind him, "Fellow Daoist Su, even if we stay here for a long time, we can't recognize all the types of poisonous mushrooms, let alone you who just ascended to the Greater World."
Su Zimo smiled and did not explain.
Although he could not recognize the types of poisonous mushrooms, he was Qinglian and had the bloodline of the Qinglian – there were no poisonous mushrooms that could poison him!
Furthermore, he could tell whether a mushroom was poisonous with a single glance.
After entering the Canagai State, the spirit vessel was handed over to Xu Rui.
With a grim expression, he shuttled through the many mushrooms carefully, trying his best to avoid the colorful ones as he advanced slowly.
They only arrived at the Primal Chaos Palace a few days later.
The so-called Primal Chaos Palace did not have an actual palace. It was just hundreds of simple straw huts scattered in the mountains, looking extremely shabby.
"Senior Brother Xu and the others are back!"
When they saw Xu Rui and the other two, a few people shouted from the crowd below.
Some cultivators stood up and went up to welcome them.
Su Zimo's gaze swept across the crowd. There were only about three thousand people below, and almost all of them had gained sentience from plants and had taken human form. Their cultivation levels were different.
Some of them were at the Mystic Immortal or Earth Immortal Realm, while some had reached the Grotto Heavenly King Realm or even the World Realm.
Apart from Xu Rui and the other two, there was only one other person who had reached the Dao Manifestation Realm. He was an honest-looking middle-aged man whose true form was an ancient locust tree. He was at the Second Transformation of the Dao Manifestation Realm.
"Senior Brother Pan, there are fewer people?"
Meng Shi asked with a frown as soon as Xu Rui and the others landed.
The honest-looking Senior Brother Pan rubbed his palms and said, "We did not occupy the Origin Mine, so we lack cultivation resources. Some people could not hold on and left to find another way."
"This is …"
Senior Brother Pan looked at Su Zimo, who was slowly walking down from the spirit vessel, and asked.
"He is an Ascender that we received. His name is Su Zimo."
Chen Qianhe said, "Fellow Daoist Su, this is Senior Brother Pan Mu."
Su Zimo cupped his fists towards Pan Mu and greeted him.
Pan Mu grinned, then looked at Meng Shi with a puzzled expression. He did not understand why the three of them had received such an old man who was at the end of his life.
"Hmph!"
Meng Shi snorted in annoyance.
They had gone through so much danger and made this trip, but not only did they not gain anything, they even brought back a burden.
Pan Mu seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly said, "Recently, we have been targeted by the Black Rat Sect. Those scoundrels might come at any moment."
"Our Chaos Palace did not occupy any Origin Mines. Why are they looking for trouble?"
Meng Shi felt indignant.
"Why don't we leave? Let's not get into any conflict with the Black Rat Sect. “
Chen Qianhe looked around, her eyes dimming. She said softly, "These people from the Chaos Palace probably won't be able to withstand any more fighting."
"But if we keep running like this, when will it end?"
Pan Mu sighed.
Xu Rui gripped his fists and a resolute look flashed through his eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Black Rat Sect is merely a third-grade faction with more Supremacies. If they dare to come at us, I'll deal with them!"
In the Greater Thousand World, factions with Dao Venerables could be considered as first-grade factions.
Only those with Heavenly Venerables could be considered as second-grade factions.
For example, the Chaos Palace where the strongest cultivators were Supremacies was a third-grade faction.
"Senior Brother Xu, but your injuries …"
Chen Qianhe frowned slightly.
"It's fine."
Xu Rui took a deep breath of air and looked at everyone around him, declaring loudly, "As long as we endure through this period of time, we'll have a chance to see the light! Once I take another step forward and enter the Dao Enlightenment realm, our Chaos Palace will have the strength to stand firm here and our situation will definitely get better! "
There were only a few responses.
In fact, many followers no longer harbored much hope for the Chaos Palace.
Without sufficient cultivation resources, it would not be easy for them to enter the Dao Enlightenment realm.
The so-called sacred ground might truly be nothing more than a legend.
