“What is that underground abyss? Are all people allowed to go to the trial? Also Xi’er was suppressed in the Underground Abyss, can you guess who did it?” Ning Cheng asked again.
The Taiyi Realm was not only the first realm of the Five Tai Realms, it was also a realm where the rules of heaven and earth were perfect. One could imagine how many strong people there were in the Taiyi Realm. If he was going to the Underground Abyss, he first needed to find out what exactly the Underground Abyss was and who the strong person he was about to face was.
Xi Xi gathered her thoughts before she spoke, “I heard that the Underground Abyss appeared after the Great Change in the Five Realms, and apart from the Taiyi Realm, the other four realms were all fragmented and had incomplete rules because of the Great Change. It was also at that time that the Underground Abyss appeared in the western-most corner of the Taiyi Realm.
At first, the underground abyss was merely a collection of demonic creatures formed from underground filthy Qi. Some cultivators then entered the underground abyss to try their luck. These demons survived in the filth and absorbed the filthy breath of heaven and earth, but were able to produce a very pure magic crystal, which contained clear rules of heaven and earth. Some people are even able to use the breath of the rules of heaven and earth contained in such magic crystals to sense higher levels of dao rhythm and thus advance in rank. Because of this, the high-level magic crystals of the Underground Abyss are like Dao fruits, precious beyond compare.”
“No one bothered with these underground devils?”
Xi Xi shook her head, “In the beginning, there were some strong people who went in, and they soon found out that these devils were not any threat at all. Plus, the rules of heaven and earth of those magic crystals were lower and could not attract those strong people, so they stopped bothering about it. But many years later, the demonic creatures underground became stronger and stronger, and eventually even broke out of the ground, almost destroying a Daoist court.
This situation. Only then did someone enter the underground abyss. They began to suppress the demonic creatures. I originally did not know how they were suppressed. It was only when I saw sister Xi’er’s body being nailed to the underground abyss blood pillar that I understood that their suppression was so bloody ……”
When she said this, Xi’er could no longer hold back her tears and shed them once again.
Ning Cheng sighed in his heart, he hadn’t seen the way Xi’er was nailed to the blood pillar to suppress the filthy demons, but he could imagine how miserable it must have been. He thought of the time when he saw Pan Qian again. He thought about what had happened to Pan Qian, who had been chained to the void and sacrificed in blood. He wondered if the same person had done what had happened to Pan Qian and Xi’er.
It was a while before Xi’er stopped her grief, “After those powerful demons were suppressed, only some low-level demons were beyond the blood pillar. The Taiyi Realm allows people to go down and find these demons to try out, one is to improve the strength of the Taiyi Realm and the second is to suppress the outbreak of demons in the underground abyss.
As for who suppressed Sister Xi’er, I don’t know. My guess is that either the several great tribes did it, or the several great sects did it. When something happened to the ancient giant race. Sister Xi’er then stepped in to help save Brother Pan Qian, so it’s hard to guarantee that no one else will know about it.”
“Xi’er, what is the Daoist Court? A power?” Ning Cheng asked with some confusion when he heard Xi Xi mention the Daoist Court twice.
XiXi replied in great detail, “The Dao Court is also considered a power, the main powerful powers in the Taiyi Realm are the Five Great Dao Courts and the Three Great Dao Sects. Other than that, only the Dan Society and the Weapon Society, as well as a place called the Seven Divine Halls can be compared to these places.”
Knowing that Ning Cheng did not understand the Taiyi Realm, Xi Xi continued to explain after she finished, “These Five Great Daoist Courts refer to the Cloud Light Daoist Court, Jade Clear Daoist Court, Liu Qing Daoist Court, Yaohua Daoist Court, and the Great Xuan Daoist Court. The Three Great Daoist Sects refer to the Miyu Daoist Sect, the Thousand Buddha Sacred Daoist Sect and the No-Shape Daoist Sect. The Dao Courts are in fact similar to sects, yet far larger than sects. Each Dao Court has a Dao Monarch, who is supported by many powerful Saint Emperors, and an army of cultivators in addition. A Dao Court is all like an interface, and there are countless sects and clans lined up underneath.”
Ning Cheng already understood what a Dao Court was, to put it simply, it was the same as a country, similar to the Heavenly Court of ancient China.
Since it was a power like the Heavenly Court, then the five Dao Courts must have fought in the Taiyi Realm as well.
“Is it true that there are often fights between the five Dao Courts?” Ning Cheng asked immediately when he thought of it, as long as there were fights, it would be good. His greatest fear was that it would be ironclad, in which case it would be difficult for him to act.
Although he was asking Xixi, Ning Cheng was already certain that there were fights, where there were people, there were rivers and lakes, this saying was applicable everywhere.
“Yes, there are often fights between the Five Great Dao Courts, as well as between the Dao Courts and the Dao Sects. On the contrary, the Dan Society and the Weapon Society rarely have fights with these forces, but instead have relations with most of the Dao Courts and Dao Sects.” Xi Xi nodded in response.
After some conversation, Ning Cheng learned a lot of news about the Taiyi Realm from Xi Xi, but Xi Xi’s news was also from ten thousand years ago. Whether the pattern of the Taiyi Realm was the same now as it was ten thousand years ago, Xi Xi didn’t know either.
Ning Cheng did not bother to ask Kong Lianbo, who was the Vice Master of the Taiyi Dan Association and was heavily entangled with the Dao Court and the Dao Sect, so he did not want to ask Kong Lianbo about such matters.
……
Three days passed in a flash, and Kong Lianbo and several other Guild Masters brought many Dan masters who had participated in the Five Realms Dan Competition to the transmission array to the Taiyi Realm.
“The Five Realms Dan Competition has always been a major event in our Five Tai Realms, and although many Daoists are well aware that the spatial rules of the teleportation formation from the Five Realms Void Market to the Tai Yi Realm are very high, I still have to give a reminder before teleporting. That is, never bring people through the teleportation formation in your own small world or true spirit world, once such a thing happens, then your small world or true spirit world will be strangled to pieces. The people inside will never be lucky either.” Before boarding the teleportation formation, Kong Lianbo still carefully admonished.
The dan masters here had all seen the world before, not that anyone was idiotic enough to think that they could use another world to bring people into Taiyi via teleportation.
Ning Cheng did not care, even if the rules of this teleportation array’s teleportation space were higher, they could not be higher than the rules of his Xuanhuang World. Yan Ji was in his Xuanhuang Pearl, so it would definitely not affect him half as much. As for Xi Xi, it was Kong Lian Bo who had agreed to be on the teleportation formation.
As the Vice President of the Taiyi Realm Dan Association, Kong Lianbo still had this ability.
There were more than a hundred Dan masters to be transported in front of the teleportation formation, not including the Dan masters from the Taiyi Realm who were participating in the Five Realms Dan Competition. Apart from the Tai Su Realm, which only had six participants, the Taiji Realm, which had the least, also had twelve participants. The Tai Shi Realm and the Tai Chu Realm both had around thirty to forty participants. As for the Taiyi Realm, the number of dan masters participating in the Five Realms Dan Competition even reached over a hundred.
After everyone had boarded the teleportation formation, Kong Lianbo took out two formation flags and sacrificed them. A burst of roar immediately emanated from around the teleportation formation, and the edges of the ebony light flashed. Before this even began to teleport, Ning Cheng felt a strong spatial collapse.
As the dark light grew, the crowd was directly swept away by that spatial collapse.
After teleporting such a long distance, Ning Cheng was also drowsy. When he opened his eyes, he knew that the Taiyi Realm had arrived.
A strong and flawless rule aura came through, and Ning Cheng immediately perceived that there were some flaws in the divine ability he had comprehended before. It was a feeling that could not be expressed in words, this was the Heaven and Earth Rule Aura. Ning Cheng did not know if the Heaven and Earth rules of the Taiyi Realm were complete and flawless, at least he could be certain that the Heaven and Earth rules of the Taiyi Realm were far more complete than those of the Tai Su Realm.
After all the dan masters had stepped out of the teleportation array, Kong Lianbo sacrificed an airship and said, “Fellow Daoists, the Five Realms Dan Competition is in Taiyi Dan Dao City, which does not belong to any Dao Court. You can all go to Taiyi Dan Dao City with me now, or you can leave alone. But in three months’ time, you will definitely have to go to Taiyi Dan Dao City before you can do so.”
Ning Cheng hurriedly said, “Master Kong, my friend has to go back to take a look, I am not going to Taiyi Dan Dao City for the time being, when the three months are up, I will definitely return to Taiyi Dan Dao City to participate in the Dan Competition.”
“Of course.” Kong Lianbo said with a smile, he had a very good impression of Ning Cheng.
After thanking Ning Cheng, he greeted Si Chen Qiu Tian and Lu Dong Ce again before quickly leaving with Xixi.
The teleportation array that transmitted from the Five Realms Void Market to the Taiyi Realm was established in the Abyssal Sacred Dao City of the Taiyi Realm. The Abyssal Sacred Dao City, like the Taiyi Dan Dao City, also did not belong to any of the Dao Courts or any sects. It was a neutral holy city, but this holy city was not prosperous. Most people quickly left in a hurry after arriving here, merely using it as a temporary landing place. From what Xi Xi had said, the divine spiritual energy in Abyssal Sacred Dao City was very weak and it was difficult to gather divine spiritual energy, so few people were willing to live in this place on a permanent basis.
Ning Cheng sacrificed an airship and brought Xixie with him to quickly leave the Abyssal Sacred Dao City and truly step into the Taiyi Realm.
It was only at this point that Ning Cheng understood the meaning of Pan Qian’s words back then. Pan Qian had never visited the Taiyi Realm either, or rather he did not dare to visit it at all. The impression of the Taiyi Realm in Pan Qian’s eyes was all from what Xi’er had said.
In his eyes the Taiyi Realm was filled with pure and dense divine spiritual qi, with dao rhythms running through it and treasures everywhere, a wonderful paradise for cultivators.
Ning Cheng did not see any treasures, but the divine Spiritual Qi here was indeed not comparable to the Tai Su Realm. Not only was the divine spiritual energy pure and dense, the vastness of the rules of heaven and earth was even more refreshing. And this was merely a place where the divine spiritual qi was weaker in the Taiyi Realm, a direction where not many people came.
“This place is really a cultivator’s paradise.” Ning Cheng spoke out with emotion as he thought of this. In his heart, he was already thinking about the five powerful divine abilities of the Five Tai Tai Realms and how powerful the Tai Yi Formless really was.
Not only did the Tai Yi Formless rank first among the five great divine abilities, it also ranked in the top three of the ten divine abilities in the entire Vast Universe, which showed how powerful the Tai Yi Formless was.
“I and sister Xi’er live in the shallow cloud mountain resort, divine aura is much better than here, there is not only beautiful ……” Xi Xi said and remembered Xi’er, the tone of voice once again low to no sound at the end.
Ning Cheng asked, “How long does it take to get to the Shallow Cloud Villa from here? If it’s in time, we’ll go to the Shallow Cloud Villa first.”
