She was dressed in a light, thin veil and was wrapped in green. She did not radiate with an imposing aura, but the moment she appeared, it was as if the entire world had lost its color. Even the colorful clouds in the sky, the qilin beasts running in the mountains, and the faintly discernible true dragons and phoenixes in the sky all turned black and white. All the colors in the world seemed to have gathered on the peerless lady.
"Your Highness!" The white-haired dragon servant had already knelt down. He was so excited that his entire body was trembling. Even though she had been asleep for hundreds of years, the Princess was still the Princess. She was just as young and beautiful as she was hundreds of years ago. In fact, the dragon servant felt that she had become even more dazzling than before.
"He's here." The Princess smiled. She looked past the white-haired dragon servant and at the front of the endless sacred mountain. That was where the Heavenly River was. It connected the two worlds, and the massive white energy of the Heavenly River flowed down.
Even the Four Great Sky Races were unable to face the terrifying Heavenly River head-on. However, to her, it was extremely warm and gentle. She could sense many things that others could not sense from the flowing energy. At this moment, a familiar aura was mixed within it. It was also this familiar aura that had awakened her from her deep sleep.
The white-haired old servant was slightly stunned. Then, he was overjoyed. It was no wonder that the Princess had awakened from her deep sleep. "The Heavenly Dao is reincarnated. Sir is an almighty. I can't imagine how many hardships he has gone through. Do you want me to …"
"No." The lady shook her head. "The present is different from the past. He has not returned to the past. The Heavenly Dao is still the same. Perhaps this is the most crucial time. Furthermore, if the heavenly races discover him, there will be many variables."
The white-haired old servant was shocked. Many things had changed in the past few hundred years. However, the Land below was too chaotic. If they did not care about it, what if everything went to waste?
The lady's smile was filled with confidence. She raised her head and looked at the Heavenly River in the distance. In the flowing energy source, there were flashes of information that only the true dragon race could understand. "The news of my awakening must be kept top secret!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" The dragon servant said respectfully. "In addition, the four heavenly races have invited us to attend their ceremony. In the past, we have always rejected them. This time?"
"Oh, it's almost time for the Gate of Heaven to open again." She said to herself, "Ninth Uncle, please take a look for me."
Every once in a while, the Heavenly River would experience a tidal phenomenon. During this period, the Heavenly River would be relatively weak, and the extremely violent energy in the Heavenly River would lessen. Furthermore, the Heavenly River connected the Heaven and the Earth and was the only passageway between the two realms. Those who wanted to ascend from the Land to the Heaven would only have a slim chance of success during this period.
Thus, this period of time was known as the opening of the Heavenly Gates. The experts in the Land who had the qualifications to ascend would obtain the approval of the four races in the Heaven and enter the Heaven through the weakened Heavenly River.
There were two conditions for approval.
The permission of the Heavenly Realm.
Reaching the Heavenly Core Stage meant that one had to nurture a Gold Core.
In fact, the first condition was to display the power of the Heaven and eliminate those who were inferior or had consumed too much vitality. The second condition was a hard condition. Those who did not have a Gold Core would die in the Heavenly Gates. Of course, this process was also extremely helpful for Heavenly Core Stages and was a necessary process.
Of course, these were the conditions of the Heaven. There were also a bunch of troubles in the Land. After all, there were hundreds of millions of people and many civilizations. The complexity was extremely high. The number of places was limited. Basically, level-6 and above civilizations occupied 50% of the places. The unspoken rule was that level-8 civilizations occupied 50% of the places, level-7 civilizations occupied 30%, and the remaining 20% was divided among the other races. However, the massive level-6 races would occupy the majority of the places, and the remaining would be given to level-5 races …
Level-4? That did not exist.
Furthermore, the dragon race was the only race in the world that was not harmed by the energy of the Heavenly River. They were born this way, and they were also the only race in the entire divine territory that did not have a civilization division. There were many different opinions about their origins. Some people said that they were the only level-10 civilization, while others said that they were envoys from the higher dimensions. However, there was one thing about the dragon race that stood out. Of course, there were very few members of the dragon race and most of the time, they were in a dormant state and did not interfere with the operations of the divine territory. However, it was a great honor for the dragon race to be present during some special events. Furthermore, the dragon race was extremely important to the top experts of the four races.
This was because the dragon race was the bridge between the Fifth Dimension and the higher dimensions. Nothing in the surroundings had changed. The lady looked into the distance and smiled sweetly. In an instant, the entire world seemed to have brightened. Her jade-white fingers gently played with her hair. Her flirtatious expression caused flowers to fall for her. However, her gaze seemed to be able to see through time and space.
It seemed like their parting had happened yesterday. He … had really done it.
Catanlyke District, Shell Shade Faction …
This was the core of the Shell Shade Faction. Shockingly powerful sealing barriers had been set up in the surroundings, causing the massive Jiuli's yin aura to almost perfectly gather within a radius of 1,000 meters. Even though it was a bright and sunny summer day, this place was still cold and gloomy. Not a single ray of sunlight could be seen.
A massive white snake was coiled around the area under the tree where the Jiuli's yin aura was the densest. Two short horns had grown out of its head, and its four thin limbs were wrapped in a membrane. Within the transparent membrane were the tender limbs of a baby, and one could see the embryonic form of a dragon's claws. Every time it inhaled and exhaled the Jiuli's yin aura, one could see the dense yin aura flowing through its transparent membrane, nourishing its tender limbs and slowly growing them.
The massive snake had turned into a flood dragon. It was 70% to 80% done!
An old man wrapped in a haze appeared nearby. It was the Suzerain of the Shell Shade Faction, Yin Jiuli. At that moment, there was a rare hint of anticipation and love in his cold gaze as he looked at the massive snake.
As if it had sensed the appearance of this old man, the massive snake inhaled and exhaled a mouthful of yin aura before turning into a cloud of yin fog and charging over. In the blink of an eye, it had turned into a handsome youth with a jade-like face.
The Shell Shade Faction's crown prince!
This was a powerful and well-known name. Even in the entire Land, he was an illustrious existence. This was not just because of his strength, but because of his terrifying potential and natural endowments. He was only 20 years old, but he was about to transform into a flood dragon and reach the Void Core Realm. Even in the entire history of the Shell Shade Faction, he could be ranked first. He was also the hope of the Shell Shade Faction!
"Father." He had a respectful temperament and was completely different from the gloomy aura of the ordinary snakes and rats of the Shell Shade Faction. His entire body emanated a unique spirituality as he respectfully stood with his hands clasped behind his back.
"Although the yin aura of Jiuli is the best nourishment for my race, if you truly transform into a flood dragon and switch between yin and yang, the yin aura of Jiuli will no longer be suitable for you." There was a loving smile on Yin Jiuli's face. He paused slightly and then said, "Jiao 'er, you are the genius in the Shell Shade Faction that has the highest chance of leaping into the Heavenly Gates in the past few hundred years. Your future is boundless, and there are still two or three years until the Heavenly Gates open. With your natural endowments, it is enough for you to condense and materialize before then. I know that you are diligent, but you cannot advance rashly because of a moment of greed. You must know that going too far is just as bad as not going far enough."
"I will solemnly follow Father's teachings." The Crown Prince Jiuli smiled and respectfully responded.
"Take your time with your cultivation. Go out and make more friends. This will be of great help to you when you step into the Heaven in the future," Yin Jiuli said with a smile as he took out an invitation from his pocket. Yin Jiuli said with a smile as he took out an invitation from his pocket. "In a few days, it will be the 500th anniversary of the Cloud Mist Sect. You can go there on behalf of your father. Their Princess Yun's talent is not inferior to yours. In the future, she is destined to be a carp that leaps over the dragon's gate and steps into the Heaven Realm.
"Yes." The Crown Prince Jiuli took the invitation. Of course, he knew what his father was implying. "Father, during my recent cultivation, I feel that the growth of the Jiuli Tree is becoming more and more difficult to seal and suppress. The density of the yin aura has exceeded the saturation point. Our territory is still too small. If we don't expand …"
"I know." Yin Jiuli nodded and said, "The Ninth Wilderness Path and the Star Alliance have already arranged things. However, the merchants in the Heavenly Treasures Street are unwilling to move because they are protected by their legal identities. There are too many of them, and it would not be good to use force. Currently, Elder Li is discussing with the representatives there. This matter cannot be rushed, and we have to take it slowly."
"Father, leave this matter to me." The Crown Prince Jiuli smiled. "Entering the world is also a form of cultivation. Furthermore, since we have taken up so many resources, we have to do something for our race. After cultivating for so long, we should treat this as an activity."
Yin Jiuli was slightly dumbfounded. Then, he furrowed his eyebrows. "Jiao 'er is considerate, but we cannot use force on this matter. Even though they are just merchants, their backgrounds are rather complicated. There are people from various large races. One or two is fine, but if we move too many and make too many complaints, I'm afraid that the Star Alliance will put pressure on us …"
The Crown Prince Jiuli smiled. His father's vision was still limited to the level of a level-6 civilization and was overcautious and indecisive.
If this was one year ago, he would have had the same thoughts as his father. However, after joining the Heavenly Gates array and coming into contact with the geniuses from the various top races in the Land, the Crown Prince Jiuli's vision had been broadened. As a creature that set the Heaven as its goal, regardless of whether it was in terms of vision or vision, it was definitely not something that the rulers of middle-level civilizations could compare to.
It was just a street in the middle circle. So what if their background was complicated? They were just some down-and-out citizens of a large civilization. If they really had a background, they would not have been reduced to opening a shop in the Catanlyke District and paying protection fees to the Ninth Wilderness Path.
Even if there were one or two people from high-leveled civilizations who concealed their identities, so what? As one of the genius disciples that the Heavenly Gates valued in the Land, he had a wide network of friends, unlimited potential, and boundless prospects. Even if he provoked one or two important people from a large civilization, he had enough confidence to protect himself. Furthermore, once he leaped over the dragon gate and ascended to the Heaven, even the Star Alliance in the Land would have to be polite to him and the Shell Shade Faction, let alone provoking a few civilizations from the lower worlds!
Thus, he dared to do what his father did not dare to do and could do it!
The Jiuli Tree was the foundation of the Shell Shade Faction, and it was urgent to protect its growth. In the past, the Shell Shade Faction did not have this confidence and was only a level-6 civilization. Being able to occupy a street in the Catanlyke District was already their upper limit, but it was different now … because they had him!
In order to achieve great things, how could he be overcautious and indecisive?
Furthermore, the Void Core Realm was only the first step. To some experts from level-7 and level-8 civilizations, this was not a problem at all. The difficult part was turning nothingness into reality. There were no shortcuts, and they needed a massive amount of resources. The Shell Shade Faction's current situation was definitely not enough!
"Father, don't worry." He smiled and said, "I want to pay a visit to the Cloud Mist Faction, but I have to deal with this matter."
… …
Even though he had tried many times in the past, he had only tried with finished products. Furthermore, he had tried to see how the fragment world could recover damaged plants. This was the first time he had tried to plant them directly. There was a reason why he had taken a fancy to the Loying Fruit at first glance yesterday. Even among the pile of "cheap leather" medicinal ingredients in Old Cow's flower garden, it was extremely easy to grow. Its growth cycle was relatively fast, and its various characteristics made it a pretty good material to try.
For the entire day, Lao Wang was thinking about the Loying Fruit seeds in the fragment world. He would occasionally use his spiritual senses to take a look, but there were no changes to the ground in the fragment world even when it was noon.
Old Cow was chatting with Wang Zhong in the flower garden. Recently, Wang Zhong had become especially "studious" and was obviously more attentive to the planting in the flower garden than before. This made Old Cow very satisfied. While he introduced him to the characteristics of various plants, he would occasionally brag about other things, such as some general knowledge about cultivation.
"Heavenly Soul? Great Heavenly Calamity? What the hell? " Old Cow had a look of disdain. "Don't copy the cultivation system from your low-leveled civilizations here. A fellow who does not even have the qualifications to build a Foundation dares to call himself 'Heavenly'? What great Heavenly Calamity? In the divine territory, there is no calamity without accumulating one's Core! The Heavenly Calamity is just because one's strength affects the operation of the laws of the world. Thus, one is punished by the Will of the world. Look at this divine territory. Can weaklings like you affect the laws here? Don't joke around! "
"Before accumulating one's Void Core, everything is called the Foundational Stage. It is just building one's foundation, and one is usually divided by their Spiritual Energy Value," Old Cow said. "If one can reach a Spiritual Energy Value of 100, one will be considered the average standard of an ordinary resident in the divine territory. One will be able to resist the spiritual pressure here and survive in the divine territory without any pressure. If one has a Spiritual Energy Value of several hundred thousand, it will not be a problem for one to walk unhindered on this street."
Wang Zhong rolled his eyes. When Old Cow pretended to be pretentious, he was asking for a beating, as if a Spiritual Energy Value of several hundred thousand was like cabbages.
In comparison, if one used one's own strength to classify, the Sacred Teachers in the Holy City only had a Spiritual Energy Value of several thousand. However, they had not even touched the threshold of the Void Core Realm. Meanwhile, the wolf goblin from before felt that its strength and speed were several times stronger than his, but it was probably a small fry with a Combat Energy Value of several hundred. Damn it. He felt as if he had returned to freedom overnight.
In the divine territory, there were many large races, especially high-leveled civilizations. However, this did not mean that all high-leveled civilizations had extremely powerful combat power. For example, even though Old Cow was from a level-7 civilization, he was not a natural combat type. It was enough to suppress him, but if he encountered a combat type, he would instantly become trash. However, he had a good background, which meant that he would have a relatively stable life.
"What is the Spiritual Energy Value required to achieve a Void Core?" Wang Zhong asked. He was very concerned about this.
Of course, Old Cow knew that which low-leveled civilization did not want to turn over a new leaf? However, the path of cultivation was too difficult. To aristocratic civilizations, it was not difficult to achieve a Void Core. The difficulty was in accumulating a Gold Core. They needed massive amounts of resources, natural endowments, and opportunities. Furthermore, these could only be concentrated in the hands of a few people.
"Why? Do you want to accumulate your Core? Stop dreaming. You have to have natural endowments like me. I gave up on cultivation because I love peace," Old Cow said pretentiously. "The Void Core does not have much to do with the Spiritual Energy Value. This is related to natural endowments. If not, the Machinery race and the insect race would not be so miserable. Ha ha."
The Boss of the Ninth Wilderness Path in the Heavenly Treasures Street was known as a Heavenly Core goblin, but in reality, this was just a title. If the Ninth Wilderness Path really had a Heavenly Core expert, would they still need to stay in such a peripheral place like the Catanlyke District? They would have killed their way into the inner circle and occupied a place there.
In reality, there were many Foundational Stages among the various Factions, but they were all combat types. Meanwhile, Old Cow and the people from the Heavenly Treasures Street were all normal people. If Wang Zhong had half of Old Cow's spiritual power, he would be able to defeat four of them. Frankly speaking, the people in the divine territory focused on their realm and cultivation, but they were still lacking in terms of combat. Perhaps it was because he was too inexperienced.
As the two of them were chatting, they suddenly heard a crisp 'bang' from the flower shop outside. A black line appeared on Old Cow's forehead, and he immediately jumped up. "This sly girl broke my flower jar again!"
Wang Zhong was amused. He could already foresee the harsh scolding that Little Lost Fox was about to receive. However, before Old Cow could rush out, the sound of flower jars shattering could be heard one after another.
"How dare you offend my Young Master? Are you tired of living?!"
Pa!
"Ah!"
Boom ~ ~
There was the sound of something falling, as well as Little Lost Fox's surprised cry.
Was someone causing trouble?
The changes outside the shop happened extremely quickly. Old Cow and Wang Zhong's expressions instantly changed. They rushed out of the flowerbed and saw that the flower shop was in a mess. There were broken jars everywhere, and a spider goblin with eight arms was dragging Little Lost Fox's messy hair and punching and kicking her.
Little Lost Fox's face was already red and swollen from the beating. She wanted to pull away from the spider hand that was grabbing her hair and struggled, but she could not move at all. She could only stretch out her hand and cover her face with difficulty. There was blood at the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were filled with tears. She had an aggrieved expression. "Wu wu wu, don't hit me. It hurts ~ ~ ~!"
Wang Zhong's expression darkened. However, before he could do anything, Old Cow beside him had already shouted.
"Stop!"
When Old Cow saw Little Lost Fox's miserable appearance, he was truly furious. She had smashed his shop and even hit his people. He shouted and was about to rush out.
However, he saw the spider goblin turn his body slightly, and a handsome young master appeared in front of Old Cow.
There was a smile on the young master's face. He casually glanced at Old Cow and Wang Zhong, who had rushed out, but Old Cow felt that his eyes were as deep as the moon. He was dumbfounded and felt as if he was about to fall into an endless dark abyss that he could not escape from.
Luckily, just as he was about to 'fall' in, it was as if someone had pulled him heavily from the side. The real sensation instantly pulled him out of the dark abyss and returned to reality. Old Cow hurriedly looked over and realized that the person who had pulled him was Wang Zhong. Although his physical cultivation was far from the standards of the divine territory, in terms of realm and resistance to the environment, Lao Wang was many times stronger than Old Cow, who had never cultivated before.
Crown Prince Jiao was slightly surprised. This human, who looked extremely weak, was able to ignore his eye technique. In the illusion, he sized up Wang Zhong and saw that he seemed to be a laborer working in the shop. Was he a cultivator from a low-leveled civilization from a peripheral world?
