The Nine Heavens Imperial Court was a major force in the universe.
The Nine Heavens of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court, from the lowest first to ninth heavens, were Crimson Light Sky, Xuanhua Sky, Clear Jade Sky, Wuji Sky, Yemo Sky, Tongyuan Sky, Haoyuan Sky, Shangxiao Sky Sky, and Supreme Emperor Sky.
The Nine Heavens Imperial Court was divided into nine heavens. Those who received a first-grade evaluation would have their cave abode in the first heaven, which was also called Crimson Light Sky.
Those who received a second-grade evaluation would be in the second heaven, which was called Xuanhua Sky.
Those who received a third-grade evaluation would be in Clear Jade Sky.
Those who received a fourth-grade evaluation would be in Wuji Sky.
Chen Zong received a fifth-grade evaluation and would be in Yemo Sky.
Those who received a sixth-grade evaluation would be able to enter Tongyuan Sky.
Those who received the highest seventh-grade evaluation would be able to enter Haoyuan Sky.
The Nine Heavens, each higher than the last. There was a huge difference in the cultivation environment. The difference of one heaven was obvious, not to mention the difference of multiple heavens.
The difference lay in the intensity and purity of the cosmic energy, as well as the clarity of the universe's laws.
The cosmic energy was related to the cultivation of cultivation arts, the laws of the universe, and the comprehension of the mysteries of the Great Dao.
Those who lived in the first to third heavens were the outer disciples of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court. Those who lived in the fourth heavens were not only the true disciples, but also the Nine Heavens Imperial Court's Sect Masters.
Among this batch of disciples, only three could enter the fifth heavens, Yemo Sky. Those who entered the fourth heavens, Wuji Sky, were only five.
Even those who entered the third heavens were only thirty or so.
The most were those who entered the first heavens, Crimson Light Sky.
Under the lead of the Primordial Envoy, Ao Wu, Chen Zong stepped into the fifth heavens, Yemo Sky. He felt that the aura here was very dense and pure, and the mystery was indescribable.
At a glance, it seemed to be boundless, with no end in sight.
In the distance, there were mountains and vast oceans. In the sky, there were white clouds floating thousands of miles. It was like a world of its own, which shocked Chen Zong.
This world of its own was one of the nine heavens of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court?
It was simply unbelievable.
After becoming a disciple of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court, one could receive the most basic resources – a set of god weapons and 100 Cosmos God Crystals.
Chen Zong received 500 pieces of Cosmos God Crystals because he had obtained a fifth-grade trial evaluation. As for the god weapons, he received a Nine Heaven Blade and a Nine Heaven Armor. The Nine Heaven Blade was a weapon while the Nine Heaven Armor was a protective armor.
This was the Nine Heavens Set, a rather famous piece of equipment in the Nine Heavens Imperial Court. Its most basic form was a divine weapon.
Through Ao Wu, Chen Zong already knew that there were three levels of Divine Artifacts in the universe: Divine Artifacts, Dao Divine Artifacts, and Origin Divine Artifacts. There were also three levels: Sun, Moon, and Stars.
As for the Nine Heavens Set that Chen Zong and the other disciples had obtained, it had another name, the Nine Heavens Soldier Set. For example, the blade was the Nine Heavens Weapon Blade, and the armor was the Nine Heavens Soldier Armor.
As for the Nine Heavens Set, it was also known as the Nine Heavens General Set. The blade was the Nine Heavens General Blade, and the armor was the Nine Heavens General Armor.
The Nine Heavens Weapon Blade could increase one's offensive power by 10%, making it easier to kill the target. The Nine Heavens Soldier Armor could weaken one's offensive power by 10%, making it easier to protect oneself.
Chen Zong couldn't help but feel astonished.
10% of one's offensive power didn't sound like a lot, but it was long-lasting. It wouldn't consume any extra energy, and it wouldn't bring any burden to the body. It was like turning the two secret techniques into a regular method. Moreover, the Nine Heavens Set wasn't a special treasure. Every disciple in the Nine Heavens Imperial Court could obtain it. In other words, everyone had a set.
What an amazing gift.
And it was said that the Nine Heavens General Set was even more amazing. Its offensive power was increased and weakened by 20%. It was simply terrifying.
In his original Void, such a Nine Heavens Soldier Set could be called a divine weapon. It was enough to attract many people to fight for it.
As for the Nine Heavens General Set, it was even more amazing.
And Chen Zong knew that the Nine Heavens General Set wasn't the limit. There were higher levels above it.
The second characteristic was its transformation.
The Nine Heavens Blade was just a name. Its appearance was actually a short, shiny silver stick that was half a meter long. As for the Nine Heavens Armor, it was a dark silver armor. It looked very ordinary, and was the kind of thing that no one would pay attention to if it was thrown to the side.
However, after recognizing its owner, the Nine Heavens Blade began to change. It stretched rapidly and changed its appearance according to Chen Zong's will. Finally, it turned into a sword more than three feet long. It was shiny and silvery-white. The blade was thin and light was flowing around it. At first glance, one could tell that it was an extremely sharp sword.
Following that, the Nine Heavens Armor turned into a beam of light that landed on Chen Zong's body. The light shone brightly, and as it shone, it continued to circulate. In the end, it turned into an exquisite-looking armor. This armor fit Chen Zong's figure perfectly, and made him look even more extraordinary.
Compared to the ordinary appearance before, it was much better. It was more exquisite. At first glance, one could tell that it was extraordinary.
Then, the light flashed again and rolled up from the Nine Heavens Armor. When the light was withdrawn, the Nine Heavens Armor had turned into a dark silver sword robe. It had an indescribable mystery.
This sword robe was very tight and made Chen Zong look even more extraordinary. The aura of a sword cultivator was faintly discernible.
Although it had turned into a sword robe, the power of the Nine Heavens Armor was not weakened at all. The only thing that changed was its appearance.
Chen Zong tried it and found that the Nine Heavens Armor's direct defensive power was limited. It would be broken or torn, but it would not be damaged. Instead, it would recover automatically. However, even if it was broken or torn, it would still weaken the power of the attack by 10%.
In the next moment, the shiny Nine Heavens Sword also changed according to Chen Zong's will. It turned into a silver bracelet on his right hand and its aura was withdrawn.
"It's really amazing." Chen Zong was amazed.
Chen Zong's cave residence in the Yemo Heaven of the Fifth Heaven of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court was on a mountain peak. The entire mountain peak belonged to Chen Zong. This mountain peak was nine thousand meters high and was named by Chen Zong.
Chen Zong named it Heart Sword Peak. As for the palace on Heart Sword Peak, it was naturally named Heart Sword Palace.
In Heart Sword Peak, there were other people besides Chen Zong. They were basically life forms and cultivators from the second-order and third-order voids. They were the disciples who had entered the Nine Heavens Imperial Court. However, due to their poor performance later on, they did not plan to leave the Nine Heavens Imperial Court. In the end, they could only be servants and continue to stay here to cultivate.
After all, the cultivation environment in the Nine Heavens Imperial Court was pretty good. Otherwise, people like them who were eliminated midway would not have enough strength to survive in the universe if they left the Nine Heavens Imperial Court. Once they left, they would quickly encounter all kinds of dangers and die.
In Heart Sword Palace, Chen Zong saw the servants of Heart Sword Peak. There were a total of ninety-six people, and the leader was a woman who looked to be in her thirties. She was from the Horn-people clan of the second-order voids. Her name was Jiao Yi. Her aura was withdrawn, but Chen Zong could sense that her aura was very strong, much stronger than his own.
"Divine Aspect Realm," Chen Zong said to himself.
"Jiao Yi greets the Peak Lord." Jiao Yi bowed to Chen Zong.
"No need for formalities. I'll leave all the affairs on Heart Sword Peak to you in the future," Chen Zong said.
Chen Zong was not good at taking care of affairs, nor did he like it. What he liked the most was to cultivate in peace, or fight to improve himself.
Of course, the Nine Heavens Imperial Court had such an arrangement because of this. There would be someone to serve and take care of all the affairs so that the disciples could cultivate properly.
However, only true disciples had such treatment. Outer disciples did not have such treatment. They had to rely on themselves to take care of everything.
"Yes, Peak Lord. I'll take care of everything." Jiao Yi bowed again.
The Nine Heavens Imperial Court would not nurture useless people. After a period of nurturing, if their performance was not outstanding enough, they could either leave the Nine Heavens Imperial Court or continue to stay. However, there was a price to pay for staying, such as carrying out some dangerous missions or becoming a servant.
Carrying out dangerous missions was very dangerous. If they were not careful, they could die. However, at the same time, the rewards would also be greater.
There was almost no danger to becoming a servant. It was more comfortable, but the rewards would not be as good as the former.
As for how to choose, it was up to the individual.
After understanding this, Chen Zong was first stunned. Compared to the Void where he was, such a situation did not exist in the Will Heavenly Palace. From this, it could be seen that the Will Heavenly Palace was crueler.
However, this was mainly for outer disciples. Outer disciples could enjoy the resources of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court and so on. However, if they could not meet the requirements of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court within the stipulated time, they would face such a choice.
After letting Jiao Yi leave with a group of servants, Chen Zong started to think.
As a newcomer, everything was unfamiliar. He had to adapt and start all over again. However, it also gave Chen Zong a very novel feeling.
He could not help but feel excited in his heart.
The universe!
The Nine Heavens Imperial Court!
This would be a new starting point for his cultivation.
"But speaking of cultivation." Chen Zong narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought. After coming here, Chen Zong naturally had some understanding. The division of cultivation realms in the universe was different from the division in the Void where he was.
In the Void where he was located, there was the Dao Manipulation Realm, the Yuanming Realm, and the Divine Power Realm. However, in the universe, the corresponding realms were the Dao Force Realm, the Spirit Condensation Realm, and the Divine Aspect Realm.
"The Dao Force Realm is the initial mastery of the power of the Great Dao. It is similar to the Dao Manipulation Realm. It just has a different name.
"The Spirit Condensation Realm is also the condensation of the Primordial Spirit. This is the same as the Yuanming Realm.
"The difference should start from the Divine Power Realm.
"The Divine Power Realm is the condensation of the Divine Power Realm, but the Divine Aspect Realm is not. It has nothing to do with the Divine Power Realm. It has to do with the Great Dao.
"It seems that the Divine Aspect Realm is the integration of the Great Dao into the Primordial Spirit or the body to form the Divine Aspect. This seems to be more brilliant than the condensation of the Divine Power Realm."
Although he only had a preliminary understanding of the Divine Aspect Realm, based on this understanding, Chen Zong could generally make a judgment that the Divine Aspect Realm was more brilliant than the Divine Power Realm.
After all, the Divine Power Realm was the condensation of the Divine Power Realm's Divine Power Realm. There was only one type of Divine Power Realm. There was nothing special about the rest and it was more one-sided. The Divine Aspect Realm, on the other hand, was directly on the Great Dao.
The Great Dao was the foundation of a cultivator's comprehension. The Divine Aspect Realm was the comprehension and improvement of the foundation.
It was also very easy to distinguish who was better and who was worse.
"No wonder the Lord Envoy only chose the Yuanming Realm prodigies and ignored the Divine Power Realm prodigies. This is because the Divine Power Realm has already deviated from the cultivation path of the universe."
