This world was Mo Xie's world.
Jiujiu clicked "Agree" without hesitation.
Dizziness quickly struck!
This world was called the Grandmist Continent.
When the heavens and earth were first born, a Saint called Hong Meng stood with his head in the sky and his feet on the ground. He divided the world into the Heavenly Realm and the Netherworld.
Hong Meng died from exhaustion after separating the Heaven and Earth. His body turned into the Mortal World, and every organ in his body turned into a constellation, maintaining the four seasons and order of the Mortal World. His blood also turned into spiritual energy, nourishing it.
Because one of Hong Meng's ribs grew beside his heart, it was nourished by his blood essence day and night. Not only did it not transform into a star in the sky, it even gave birth to a trace of intelligence.
The rib bone turned into a mountain and fell into a deep slumber in the mortal world. After thousands of years of nourishment from the essence of the sun and moon, the rib bone took human form and called himself Lord East Source.
The East Source Lord's body was brimming with spiritual energy. Because he was formed from the Primordial Chaos Rib Bone, the East Source Lord's body contained a Heavenly Dao Law. No matter what he did, he didn't need to bear any karma. If he continued to cultivate, he would definitely become as powerful as the Primordial Chaos Rib Bone. In fact, he might even be able to tear through the void and become a divine spirit of another place.
The Heavenly Dao Laws contained within Lord East Source's body made him a supreme treasure that both the Celestial Realm and the Netherworld Realm coveted.
The Heaven Realm was the first to bear the brunt, followed by the Underworld, and the weakest Mortal Realm knew nothing about it.
The East Source Lord's magic power was boundless, and the gloomy Celestial Emperor's spiritual energy was also born from the primordial chaos. He could control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as he wished. Although he was alone, he was able to fight against hundreds of Celestial Realm and Netherworld Realm experts without any signs of exhaustion. This battle lasted for several hundred years.
The combined forces of the experts from both sides had not been able to do anything to Lord East Source. Instead, Lord East Source had wiped out all of his elites.
From then on, the two realms no longer had any elites. Due to the East Source Lord's formidable martial power, they had no choice but to submit to him in order to survive. From then on, the East Source Lord was respected as the Lord of the Three Realms.
A day in the Heavenly Realm was a year in the Human Realm.
Although Lord East Source was formed from the Primordial Rib Bone, because he was born in the human world, he had experienced the four seasons of the human world. He had experienced the hardships of the human world, and he disliked the rules of the Heavenly Realm and the treacherous cruelty of the Netherworld.
Therefore, he only stayed in the Heaven Realm for a year before returning to the Human Realm.
Lord East Source had wandered the Human Realm for thousands of years like an ordinary person.
He observed the birth, aging, sickness, and death of human beings, and the separation of life and death.
Lord Dongyuan had established his own sect, the Black Heaven Sect, and taught its people cultivation techniques. The Black Heaven Sect was the weakest existence in the Three Realms.
As long as one was alive, there would be a desire to live. As long as one was a human, there was no one who did not want to live forever.
Thus, when the Lord of the East Source told the humans that as long as they cultivated, they would be able to obtain immortality and even ascend to the Heavenly Realm, all of a sudden, the Mortal Realm no longer respected the Emperors and Sovereigns, and all of them began to indulge in cultivation.
However, in order to cultivate, one must have an innate Spiritual Root. Without an innate Spiritual Root, one would not be able to communicate with the heavens and earth, and would not be able to absorb the Spiritual Qi between the heavens and earth. Naturally, one would not be able to cultivate.
Therefore, even though there were many people who wanted to cultivate, there were very few who could meet the requirements to do so.
The Black Heaven Sect had been established for a hundred years, and it only had a few hundred disciples. However, there were only three people who could become the Lord of the East Source's personal disciples. One of them was Su Ling, who was appointed as the Sect Master of the Black Heaven Sect by the Lord of the East Source.
Su Ling was born with a single lightning-attributed Spiritual Root. Moreover, she had consumed the Marrow Cleansing Pill that the Lord of the East Source had given her. Now that she possessed a lightning-attributed Celestial Spiritual Root, her cultivation speed was much faster than others, and she could already vaguely see the will of the heavens. Thus, the Lord of the East Source became the Sect Master of the Black Heaven Sect, and the Lord of the East Source became an elder. He was responsible for protecting the Black Heaven Sect from the Heavenly Realm and the Netherworld Realm.
A thousand years later.
Under the Lord of the East Source's instructions, the Black Heaven Sect's disciples started to establish their own sects in other parts of the Hongmeng Continent. The number of disciples in the Black Heaven Sect had increased from a hundred to over ten thousand.
The triennial Sect Selection had also become a Sect Selection held once every ten years.
This year was the thousandth year since the Lord of the East Source had arrived in the Human Realm.
Even though one day in the Heavenly Realm was equivalent to one year in the Human Realm, the Lord of the East Source had been away from the Heavenly Realm for almost three years. Moreover, the people of the Heavenly Realm had been sending him letters every day, hoping that he could return to the Heavenly Realm to take charge of the situation. The Lord of the East Source had wanted to wait until the sect selection was over before returning to the Celestial Realm.
However, he never thought that he would no longer want to return to the Heavenly Realm after this selection.
September was the best time of the year, and the air was crisp and clear.
Today was also the last day that the Lord of the East Source would be watching the Black Heaven Sect's sect selection.
Those who could participate in the sect selection were naturally those who had verified their Spiritual Roots. The selection was based on the Immortal Ascension Stairs that the Lord of the East Source had personally set up.
The Immortal Ascension Stairs had a total of nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, and every step had a mark left behind by the Lord of the East Source. The further one climbed, the more difficult it would be to continue. The first twenty people who climbed the most steps would become the personal disciples of the elders, and the last hundred people would become inner disciples. Although the resources available to inner disciples were not as good as the elders' personal disciples, if they performed well and were recognized by the elders, they would have the opportunity to become an elder's personal disciple. The last hundred people would become outer disciples.
If an outer disciple wanted to become an inner disciple, they would have to pay a price a hundred times more than an inner disciple.
It had been close to nine hundred years since the Lord of the East Source had set up the Immortal Ascension Stairs. Even Su Ling had not been able to complete it.
At the start of the Immortal Ascension Stairs, Su Ling introduced the Immortal Ascension Stairs to the Lord of the East Source. "I wonder if there's anyone with a Lightning Spiritual Root who will come out on top this time."
The Lightning Spiritual Root was a mutated Spiritual Root. Compared to other Spiritual Roots, the Lightning Spiritual Root's tribulation was like walking through the gates of hell. The only difference was that the Lightning Spiritual Root was of the same attribute as the Lightning Spiritual Root. Every tribulation that descended would be completely absorbed by the Lightning Spiritual Root. Other people would be covered in dirt after their tribulation, but the Lightning Spiritual Root would look as if they had eaten an all-nourishing elixir after their tribulation. Not only would their complexion be rosy, but their cultivation would also increase by another level.
Furthermore, the Lightning Spiritual Root's skills had the effect of lightning. It was the nemesis of all evil. Thus, the Lightning Spiritual Root was one of the strongest Spiritual Roots.
Because it was so strong, it was extremely rare. Ever since Su Ling had started cultivating, she had only met two cultivators with the Lightning Spiritual Root. One of them was her, and the other was her junior martial brother. Currently, both of them had been sent away by the Lord of the East Source to establish their own sect.
After Su Ling faintly sensed the will of the heavens, she knew that there was not much time left before she could ascend to the Heavenly Realm. Thus, she wanted to find a personal disciple as soon as possible. Thus, she placed more importance on this sect's selection than anyone else.
Following the announcement, everyone stepped onto the Immortal Ascension Stairs.
After everyone stepped onto the Immortal Ascension Stairs, they immediately entered their own Immortal Ascension Stairs. Only when they reached the top or were completely exhausted would they be automatically sent to the outside world.
Su Ling smiled as she made a bet with her fellow disciples. "What do you guys think is the highest step this time?"
"According to rumors, there will be Foundation Establishment disciples from aristocratic families this time. I'm guessing the 600th step."
"The Immortal Ascension Stairs depends on one's mental state, not one's cultivation. Don't forget that last time, a Foundation Establishment disciple only reached the 300th step." Su Ling casually gave a number. "I'm guessing the highest step will be the 550th step."
The waiting time was boring to begin with, so everyone naturally started to discuss the highest order.
As for the Lord of the East Source, he didn't participate in the discussion among his disciples.
He was a Hongmeng Rib Bone, so he was emotionless to begin with. It was only because he had wandered the mortal world for too long that he had developed a heart of compassion. Even though he was in charge of the emotions of the mortal world, everything in the mortal world had nothing to do with him.
