Chapter 46: If You Cultivate the Dao, Then Seeing the Immortal Court Is Like a Mayfly Gazing at the Vast Sky!
In the Upper Realm, the Hehuan Sect.
Along a quiet, flower-lined path, the beautiful young woman, who had been walking with a seductive expression and a swaying figure, was instantly startled by Hu Liena's words.
She almost lost her footing and nearly fell.
The color drained from her face in an instant, leaving her deathly pale.
The beautiful woman quickly looked around in panic, scanning the surroundings carefully. After confirming that no one was nearby and that there were no divine senses probing the area, she finally patted her heaving chest in lingering fear. Then she lowered her voice and sternly scolded Hu Liena:
"You reckless girl who doesn't know the fear of death, who allowed you to mention those four words?!"
"Forget the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Even across the myriad heavens and worlds, that place is something that must never be spoken of!"
"If someone with ill intent overhears it, then not only you, but even our entire Hehuan Sect could suffer calamity because of a single sentence from you."
Hearing this, Hu Liena trembled slightly. Her charming fox-like eyes were filled with fear.
She carefully swallowed before asking in a trembling voice:
"S-Senior... is it really that exaggerated?"
"This junior sees how grand the Hehuan Sect is, and Senior's strength is also unfathomable. Is the gap between us and that Primordial Immortal Court really that huge?"
During her journey here, Hu Liena had already felt that even an ordinary servant disciple of the Hehuan Sect gave her a far more terrifying impression than Bibi Dong.
And for a sect capable of establishing itself in this land, it should definitely be considered a hegemonic force.
As for the so-called Primordial Immortal Court, although it must be powerful, there should still be a limit to how powerful it could be.
However, when the beautiful woman of the Hehuan Sect heard Hu Liena's ignorant words, she sighed and shook her head as she explained again:
"A gap? Heh..."
Looking at Hu Liena's serious expression, the beautiful woman revealed a self-mocking smile.
"Girl, do you know how big this world really is?"
Hu Liena shook her head blankly.
Seeing this, the beautiful woman sighed once more. She walked to a nearby stone bench and sat down, her gaze becoming distant.
"If you do not cultivate the Dao, then it is nothing."
"But if you do cultivate the Dao, then seeing the Immortal Court is like a mayfly gazing at the vast sky."
"What you see is merely the tip of the iceberg of this world, or perhaps just dust within dust."
At this point, the beautiful woman paused for a moment, as if organizing her thoughts. After a short while, she continued:
"This world is boundless and vast. It can roughly be divided into the Lower Realm and the Upper Realm."
"The Lower Realm has the Eight Regions. The Upper Realm has the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."
"Besides these, there are also the Foreign Realm, the Burial Grounds, and the legendary Immortal Domain."
"Of course, it is said that there are also some mysterious lands that cultivators like us have never stepped into, but those are not places that you or I can glimpse."
After hearing this explanation, Hu Liena was completely stunned.
Meanwhile, the beautiful woman continued speaking.
"The Eight Regions of the Lower Realm include the Heaven Region, Earth Region, Mysterious Region, Void Region, Space Region, Outer Region, Flood Region, and Wasteland (Desolate) Region."
"The laws there are incomplete, and the spiritual energy is thin. The highest so-called realm there is merely the Venerable Realm."
"As for the land we currently stand in, it is called the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."
At this point, the beautiful woman raised a finger and drew a large circle in the air.
"The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are composed of nineteen vast continents and starry regions."
"It is said that before the extremely ancient Immortal Ancient Era, this place was once a complete and perfect great world. Its area was so vast that even if all of today's Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were combined, they would still be inferior."
"But later, because of a great war with the Foreign Realm, that complete world was shattered alive, eventually forming the nineteen fragmented continents that exist today."
Hu Liena could not help but gasp sharply.
Shattering an entire great world? What kind of terrifying power would that require?
Not only her, but also the people of the Douluo Continent who were hearing this secret through the sky screen were collectively petrified.
"T-Then... what about our Hehuan Sect?" Hu Liena asked again after finally calming herself a little.
"Our Hehuan Sect is located in one of the Three Thousand Provinces within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."
As she spoke, the beautiful woman pointed at the ground beneath their feet.
"Within these Three Thousand Provinces, our Hehuan Sect can barely be considered a third-rate force. The strongest person in the sect is a powerhouse at the Heavenly God Realm."
"Above that, there exist supreme figures of the Void Dao Realm, Self-Severing Realm, Self-Release Realm, and even the Supreme Realm!"
"Those immortal orthodox sects and eternal imperial dynasties that possess Supreme Realm experts alone number several even within the Three Thousand Provinces."
"Every single one of them is an existence that our Hehuan Sect absolutely cannot afford to provoke. Yet you compared our Hehuan Sect to that kind of existence. Truly ignorant."
By this point, Hu Liena had become completely numb.
Heavenly God Realm?
Supreme Realm?
Just hearing the names of these realms made her scalp tingle, let alone seeing such figures in person.
"As for the Primordial Immortal Court you mentioned..."
When speaking this name, reverence again appeared in the beautiful woman's eyes.
"That is a truly colossal existence, a terrifying power that stands above the Nine Heavens."
"It is not located in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but within the legendary Immortal Domain!"
"The Immortal Domain?" Hu Liena repeated instinctively, her face filled with shock.
"Yes, the Immortal Domain."
The beautiful woman took a deep breath, her tone becoming somewhat dreamlike.
"That is the sacred land of cultivation that countless cultivators dream of. Not only does it possess complete Great Dao laws, but longevity substances can be found everywhere."
"And within that Immortal Domain, where Immortal Kings stand in great numbers, the Primordial Immortal Court is the overlord among overlords, an absolute taboo existence that must never be provoked."
"Leaving aside whether disciples of the Primordial Immortal Court have come to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to establish sects, or whether some long-lived families have certain connections with the Primordial Immortal Court..."
At this point, the beautiful woman took another deep breath and steadied herself before continuing:
"Just within the legendary Immortal Domain alone, the subordinate forces under the Primordial Immortal Court include nine immortal imperial dynasties and nine immortal sects."
"Within those dynasties and sects, there are more than one True Immortal-level powerhouse overseeing them."
"As for sects that possess Supreme Realm experts under the Primordial Immortal Court, they are as numerous as the hairs on an ox—simply countless!"
"I have even heard that the territory occupied by just the Primordial Immortal Court alone may be larger than the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths combined. It is truly vast and boundless beyond imagination."
"T-True Immortal?" Hu Liena murmured while listening, feeling as if her brain could no longer process the information.
"Yes, True Immortals."
The beautiful woman nodded, her eyes shining with admiration.
"They are true immortals who live as long as heaven and earth, shining together with the sun and moon."
But soon she seemed to remember something and gave a bitter smile.
"Yet even True Immortals can only bow their heads before the Primordial Immortal Court. They do not dare act arrogantly at all."
"Why?" Hu Liena finally could not hold back any longer and asked the question she was most confused about.
"Since they are all Immortal King-level orthodoxies, why is the Primordial Immortal Court so powerful? Why is it the overlord among overlords?"
