River Styx remained in seclusion for several thousand years after his breakthrough. Even when the academy promoted him to elder, River Styx did not show up. However, no one said anything about it. After all, everyone knew that even if someone broke through, they would need a certain amount of time to stabilize their cultivation, let alone breaking through to the Manifestation realm. That was a qualitative leap, so it would naturally take a longer time to stabilize their cultivation.
After a long while, River Styx and the three corpses finally stabilized their cultivation at the Manifestation realm, so they emerged from seclusion. As soon as he emerged, River Styx made a beeline for the library and not the Hall of Elders. Although he had been promoted to elder, he had not gone to the Hall of Elders even once. However, compared to the Hall of Elders, the eighth floor of the library was much more attractive.
After entering the eighth floor, River Styx naturally went to understand the information on the Battlefield of Gods and Demons. After all, the information on the Battlefield of Gods and Demons would become more complete with every floor. River Styx wanted to see if the records on the eighth floor were different from the records on the seventh floor. Only by understanding more complete information could River Styx better plan his future direction.
He did not have to worry about the contribution points he needed to spend. Ever since he had been promoted to elder, all the jade slips in the library were open to River Styx. This was one of the privileges of an elder. River Styx could look through them as he pleased, which saved him quite a lot of contribution points. After all, there were quite a few jade slips that River Styx wanted to look through.
When River Styx finished looking through the records on the Battlefield of Gods and Demons and the Yun Ling Academy, his eyes lit up. The records on the eighth floor were indeed much more complete than the seventh floor. There were quite a few records on the secret realms in the middle of the Battlefield of Gods and Demons, and they were rather detailed. However, most of the secret realms had either been completely excavated or taken over by some organisations. River Styx could only look on with envy.
The remaining secret realms were extremely dangerous. Many of them had been left behind by Infinite Primes. They were filled with danger, where even Manifestation realm experts faced the danger of dying. Most of the secret realms had been left behind by Infinite Primes before they died. There was no lack of legacies from Infinite Primes, so even if they were dangerous, many people would flock to them.
However, the legacies in the secret realms were only legends. After all, how could ordinary people compare to those who had reached Infinite Primes? If they had left behind any tricks or ulterior motives in the secret realms, even Manifestation realm experts would struggle to guard against them at times. After all, possession was not impossible for Infinite Primes. There had been records of this happening before.
Compared to the secret realms left behind by Infinite Primes, the secrets left behind by some Manifestation realm experts after they died or before they entered the upper echelons were also endlessly attractive. River Styx was more willing to take a look at the Manifestation Secret Realms than the Wuji Secret Realms. However, these secret realms did not open for a certain period of time, so he could not enter them whenever he wanted.
Apart from that, River Styx also saw records about Yun Ling Academy. The long history of Yun Ling Academy clearly shocked River Styx. Yun Ling Academy had actually been established in the Fifth Age. Yun Ling Academy in the Eastern Region, where River Styx resided, was only a branch. Yun Ling Academy existed in the Central Region and the upper echelons of the Battlefield of Divines and Demons. There were no records about whether Yun Ling Academy existed in the core region of the Battlefield of Divines and Demons. However, since Yun Ling Academy had existed for so long, it was probably enough to develop into the core region.
The reason why there were less than ten Manifestation realm experts in Yun Ling Academy in the Eastern Region was that the Central Region would send people to select talents from the academy every once in a while. All the Manifestation realm experts could choose to stay here or go to Yun Ling Academy in the Central Region. Now, the Manifestation realm experts of Yun Ling Academy had stayed here several times in a row.
Although going to Yun Ling Academy in the Central Region might lead to better opportunities and cultivation environment, the competition and cruelty there were far from what the Eastern Region could compare to. Staying in the Eastern Region, at least, one could obtain great power and a large amount of cultivation resources. Although these cultivation resources could not compare to those in the Central Region, it still depended on whether one had the ability to obtain a large amount of resources in the Central Region.
Seeing this, River Styx had an idea. Originally, he planned to leave Yun Ling Academy after some time and go to the Central Region, but now, it seemed that his plan had to be changed. Since Yun Ling Academy had such a profound background, River Styx naturally would not let it go. He understood the principle of enjoying the shade under a big tree. Only with the help of Yun Ling Academy's profound background, River Styx could go further and faster.
Now, the Battlefield of Gods and Devils had been opened for the ninth time. Many forces had developed in it for several eras. Most of the areas of the Battlefield of Gods and Devils had probably been divided up by them. It was not impossible for River Styx to be self-reliant, but the difficulty was unimaginable. After all, the rise of a new force would inevitably attract the attention of other forces and even suppress it.
For River Styx, a force was a complete burden. What he pursued was the Supreme Great Way. Managing and strengthening a force was too much of a waste of resources and time. This was obviously not what River Styx wanted. Pursuing the Supreme Great Way was not an easy task. If River Styx was a rogue cultivator and did not join any force, how could he possess his current strength so quickly?
Now, River Styx and the Three Separations had broken through to the Creation Realm and had refined several magic treasures into the Chaotic Lingbao. In addition, the World of Heaven and Earth had now been promoted to the level of the Great Thousand World. The various resources used in this process were obviously not something that a rogue cultivator could easily gather. Fortunately, Yun Ling Academy did not have such a rich background. Otherwise, it would not have been so easy.
In fact, it was not difficult for River Styx, Red Lotus Taoist, and Mu Sen to make a breakthrough in their cultivation, nor did they need many resources. The difficult part was the promotion of their magic treasures and the promotion of their World of Heaven and Earth, which required a large amount of resources. If it were not for Yun Ling Academy, River Styx was afraid that he would have to go on a killing spree in the Battlefield of Gods and Devils to obtain so many resources. River Styx could naturally imagine the dangers involved. After all, in the Battlefield of Gods and Devils, River Styx was not considered an expert.
Now that he knew that Yun Ling Academy had such a profound background, River Styx did not mind taking this big ship. River Styx pursued the Supreme Great Way. He walked the Way of seeking common ground while reserving differences, not the Way of being the only one. Otherwise, he would not have chosen to sneak into Yun Ling Academy and slowly conspire for various resources. He was afraid that he would have conspired to create havoc in Yun Ling Academy.
However, River Styx did not know when the next emissary of Yun Ling Academy in the Central Region would come. According to the records in the Jade Slip, the emissary would come once every 100,000 years. Now, the Creation Realm experts in the academy had gone through such a selection several times, but they did not choose to go to the Central Region. Although he did not know why, River Styx would definitely choose to go to the Central Region the next time the emissary of the Central Region came.
After making up his mind, River Styx began to read the other Jade Slips. Compared with the previous seven levels, the number of Jade Slips on the eighth level was pitifully small. However, this was not surprising. After all, all the cultivation methods, Divine Senses, formations, and so on on the eighth level could only be used by the Creation Realm experts. They were far more precious than the rest of the seven levels combined.
Now that River Styx read the contents of these Jade Slips, since he did not need to pay any contribution points, he would not be polite. In a short while, River Styx had read all the Jade Slips on the eighth level. Although many of them were not what he needed, he did not let them go. Even if he did not need them, there was still a world in the body of his Good Corpse, Qiankun Taoist!
