Everyone entered the light one by one as if they were welcoming the light!
In the next moment, a vast sea of clouds appeared before the eyes of the cultivators. It stretched as far as the eye could see, and it was completely different from when they were looking at their own domain from the void. At that time, they could at least see the curvature of the sky, but now, the clouds were as flat as a mirror. This only proved one thing.
Heaven's Choice was so big that even at their current height, they still couldn't see the curvature!
"Everyone, come up! Next is the atmosphere of the realm. There's nothing special about it, just a million feet thick! "
Everyone returned to the raft. There was no need for them to do so. But as a diplomatic team, it was more respectful to appear as a whole and not as a scattered group.
The raft flew through the clouds. At some point in time, there were already a dozen True Monarchs on both sides of the raft. They should be here to welcome them, right? After all, for a diplomatic mission of this scale, both sides had already discussed it beforehand. Otherwise, it would be strange if they weren't treated as invaders!
A million feet thick atmosphere was indeed terrifying. This meant that cultivators' divine sense couldn't detect the land at all. If they fought here, it would be a completely different scene compared to the void.
They kept descending. After a while, they could vaguely feel the outline of the land. They were already at a low altitude of about a million feet. Although they could feel the land, due to the limited height, the land was still like a mirror in their divine sense. They couldn't see the sky at all.
Under the guidance of True Monarch Tian Ze, the raft arrived at a huge valley. There were no jade pavilions or celestial mansions. In fact, there wasn't even an ordinary building. There were only ruins scattered in the middle of the valley.
Daoist Qiang Di explained to Xiaoyao and the other disciples, "In this Heaven's Choice Continent, forces aren't differentiated by sects. Their method is to establish different countries according to the nature of the Dao Tablets. There may be many orthodoxies in this country, but there's one thing they're all proficient in: the Dao Tablets erected in the country!
One tablet for a country, one tablet for a country. This is the characteristic of Heaven's Choice!
There are thirty-six Innate Daos, which means that there are thirty-six powerful countries. Each of them is as vast as our Zhou Xian's nine great divine mountains. The remaining ten thousand Innate Dao Tablets are the foundations of the small countries!
The three women in our group are cultivators from a good country. They belong to a small country, and their foundation is the Postcelestial Great Dao, the Red Dawn Dao! "
Hua Yuan was deep in thought. "With such a country's nature, does it mean that there is no annexation? Because the Great Dao Tablet was the foundation!
Martial Uncle, I heard that the flow of heavenly chosen cultivators is much more frequent than in the Origin World. In other words, their loyalty to the country is limited? "
Qiang Di nodded. "That's right! The so-called loyalty of the cultivators here was only in the Dao Realm. In reality, what they were loyal to was the Dao Tablet, not the country!
Since it was impossible for a cultivator to comprehend only one Dao Realm in their lifetime, when they had a new goal, they would go to other countries to pursue the Dao Realm they desired! This is the main reason for their frequent movements! "
Black Star was curious, "Then, what about those Half Immortals? Was he also without a fixed residence? Fickle? "
Qiang Di shook her head, "Half Immortals don't know! Because they were in the early stages of Dao Unification, their Dao Realm was relatively fixed! Thus, in the 36 Precelestial Countries, the Half Immortals were the most stable. Of course, it didn't matter now. The Half Immortals had left, and this place had become the world of the True Monarchs. However, the essence was still the same.
Thus, the cultivators here didn't have a mountain gate that they had to protect. Such a thing didn't exist, and the Great Dao Tablet didn't need to be protected! "
Hua Yuan sighed. "That's right. Now, even if they wanted to protect it, they couldn't. The sky is collapsing, how could they maintain it?"
Lou Xiaoyi pointed to the ruins. "Then, since they didn't pay attention to the mountain gate's layout, this place should be where the Great Dao Tablet collapsed? I wonder which Great Dao Tablet collapsed here? "
Qiang Di sighed. "It's the Impermanence Innate Great Dao Tablet. It's also the Great Dao that collapsed recently. This is the Turbulent Country, and the foundation of the country was the Impermanence Great Dao. However, I don't know what the situation is in the cultivation world of this country!"
Black Star asked, "Ten thousand countries, and only six of their foundations collapsed. That doesn't seem to be too much? Why do the people here want to go to the Origin World so wholeheartedly? "
Qiang Di snorted. "It's not just six tablets! The Innate Great Dao collapsed six tablets, but there are many Postnatal Great Dao Tablets that were derived from these six Innate Great Daos. Because their foundations aren't there, how can they survive alone? Thus, in reality, in the Heaven's Choice Continent, almost two thousand Innate and Postnatal Great Dao Tablets have collapsed. This is already a lot, and it's enough to cause a serious psychological impact to the entire cultivation world of the Heaven's Choice Continent! "
The reception of the Heaven's Choice Continent's cultivation world exceeded the basic understanding of the Origin World's cultivators. It wasn't a mountain gate, nor was it an important place. There were no welcoming crowds of cultivators, big or small. It was a desolate wilderness, as if no one cared.
However, everyone knew that this was just a facade! The Zhou Xian Upper Realm placed great importance on this diplomatic mission. Similarly, the Heaven's Choice Continent wouldn't treat it half-heartedly. It was just that here, the inheritance of the orthodoxy wasn't as ceremonial as in the Origin World. Just like when Lou Xiaoyi went to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Festival to participate in the Yue Laan Hungry Ghost Festival, that really exaggerated the grandeur of a large sect to the extreme!
These two methods each had their own merits, and they couldn't be said to be good or bad. They were just the products of their respective histories and environments, so there was no need to examine them in detail.
The ferry landed in the valley, and the cultivators on the ferry filed off. Xian Liuzi warned,
"Don't leave this place casually! You have to remember that we're using the banner of a diplomatic mission, but in reality, we're using force to intimidate people!
Here, the people of Heaven's Choice won't dare to act recklessly. They'll win with numbers and secretly play tricks. They can only compete openly. However, if you leave this valley and go far away, you also know how great Heaven's Choice is. If someone really wants to target you, not to mention us three Yang Gods, even thirty of us won't be able to take care of you!
For the sake of Zhou Xian, you should also restrain yourselves! When this matter is over and we've reached a tacit understanding, then we'll talk about traveling! "
Everyone knew that they had a heavy responsibility on their shoulders. This was something that the sect had repeatedly warned them about before they came. If they went outside, it would be equivalent to having their own responsibilities carried by others. To put it nicely, this was undisciplined. To put it bluntly, it was irresponsible!
Other than the three Yang God Palm Masters who didn't need to participate, there were a total of eighteen Supremes and twenty-seven Yuanying. It sounded like a lot, but in a place like the Heaven's Choice Continent, there were thousands of Supremes and tens of thousands of Yuanying. There was no comparison in terms of numbers!
Every combat power was precious!
Of course, the specific regulations hadn't been released yet. They still needed to see the scale of the reception. The big show was still early and needed to be brewed!
