Chapter 33: The Heavenly Realm that Zhong Yue Dug Three Feet Into
At this moment on Mount Buzhou, Zhong Yue was unaware that because of him, Kunpeng had fallen into an undeserved disaster.
Of course, he would never see the scene in the Purple Clouds Palace nor be involved in it. Even if he knew, he wouldn’t care; in fact, he would rather Kunpeng die sooner.
Right now, Zhong Yue was trekking through Mount Buzhou.
Along the way, he had gathered quite a bit: three Innate Spiritual Roots and two Innate Spiritual Treasures.
Although they were all of the lower grade, no one else on the entire Mount Buzhou had ever had such good fortune.
This made Zhong Yue sigh inwardly, thinking that his ‘kin’ was indeed quite considerate of him.
Continuing toward the mountain peak, Zhong Yue never paused for a moment.
Along the way, he gathered treasures while also cultivating.
The will of the Great Pangu was dense here, and within it, there was an unyielding spirit, making it the perfect place to forge both the primordial spirit and physical body.
Out of respect for the Great Pangu, Zhong Yue moved forward step by step, gradually withdrawing his mystical powers and instead using his body and will to resist the intense pressure.
As he did this, terrifying pressure descended upon him in an instant.
For a moment, Zhong Yue felt as though he were about to be crushed flat.
Fortunately, whether due to his inner resistance or the ‘kin’s’ protection, he gradually began to adapt.
Once he had adjusted, Zhong Yue pressed on without hesitation.
From that point onward, every time he reached a milestone, he would stop for a brief rest, waiting to adjust before continuing forward.
In the blink of an eye, a thousand years passed.
After a thousand years of tempering, Zhong Yue’s physical body had reached perfection. Now, all that was needed was the right opportunity, and he would be able to bloom the Flower of Essence, reaching the mid-stage of Great Luo.
At the same time, his primordial spirit had become increasingly clear and flawless. Although it wasn’t perfect yet, it was several times more resilient than before.
In short, after this journey, Zhong Yue had reaped abundant rewards, both in terms of cultivation and spiritual advancement.
Now, Zhong Yue had arrived at the peak of Mount Buzhou.
Standing at the summit and looking down, he felt a towering and magnificent aura rushing toward him, making his heart shudder slightly.
This feeling intoxicated Zhong Yue, as if everything in the world was under his control, granting him immense freedom and ease.
Suddenly, a ray of immortal light burst forth beside Zhong Yue, startling him and pulling him out of his trance.
“Hm? What’s this?” Zhong Yue furrowed his brows and turned to look in the direction of the light.
What he saw was a shimmering light curtain, much like when he had first encountered a blessed land, as if a large formation was concealing it.
“Interesting, so there’s a blessed land at the peak of Mount Buzhou as well?”
Zhong Yue’s lips curled slightly.
He had just been puzzled that, since he reached the middle of the mountain, his kin had stopped sending him benefits. It turned out they were just holding back something big for him.
With this thought in mind, Zhong Yue immediately walked toward the front.
With his heaven-defying comprehension and the ability of the Breaking Illusions Golden Eyes to see through deceptions, Zhong Yue easily cracked the large formation.
With a thought, he took a step forward, and in an instant, his figure disappeared from the spot.
Crossing the formation and seeing the scene in front of him, Zhong Yue was immediately stunned.
“This… this is a Blessed Land?”
His voice stammered, his eyes filled with shock.
It’s no wonder he was so shocked; the scene before him was so extravagant that even though he had seen Blessed Lands like Mount Tai, this sight still left him gasping.
Before him lay an immense world, its borders enveloped by a faint light curtain, within which mysterious symbols swirled. Around it, chaotic airstreams flowed.
This vast world was divided into thirty-three layers, each layer filled with all sorts of rare herbs and treasures, celestial mountains and blessed lands towering everywhere, spiritual energy like mist and clouds, and the power of stars dense and overflowing.
Purple qi rose up, strange phenomena continued to manifest. Golden lotuses bloomed, releasing lotus seeds.
Xuanhuang energy filled the realm, with waves of mysterious aura radiating outward, spreading in all directions. Celestial waterfalls flowed upward, and spiritual cranes danced in the air. Celestial bamboo soared toward the heavens, supporting the sky and the earth!
“It’s actually… the Heavenly Realm?”
Zhong Yue’s expression showed difficulty, as this overwhelming surprise made it hard for him to maintain his composure. The shock from what he was seeing was just too immense.
When Zhong Yue had come here, he had thought that his kin would send him a few Innate Spiritual Treasures at most, and perhaps a Blessed Land.
He never expected that his kin would gift him such a grand present, one that was just as impressive as the previous ones.
To think, this was the Heavenly Realm. While not as vast as the Honghuang Continent, the thirty-three heavens combined were still mighty.
The most crucial point was that this Heavenly Realm had remained undiscovered for countless years. The number of spiritual roots and plants within it was unimaginable for Zhong Yue.
“I can’t keep this Heavenly Realm, it’s definitely not something I can guard,” Zhong Yue thought, his mind racing.
Originally, according to the established trajectory, this Heavenly Realm was supposed to fall into the hands of the Demon Race, ultimately becoming their domain and establishing the Ancient Celestial Court.
With this Heavenly Realm, the Demon Race would be able to firmly secure their position in the Honghuang world, gaining the foundation to rival the Witch Race.
Although Zhong Yue had discovered this place ahead of time, it was clear that he alone couldn’t guard it.
And even if he could guard it, the Heavenly Dao wouldn’t allow him to monopolize it. After all, the future conflict between the Demons and Witches was inevitable, and Zhong Yue lacked the power to alter the course of the Heavenly Dao.
With this thought, Zhong Yue immediately began to take action.
Since he couldn’t guard it, he would move it. He would take as much as he could, but he couldn’t let others take advantage.
Zhong Yue waved his sleeve, and the Chaos Fan flew out, emitting a massive sucking force.
In an instant, all the spiritual roots and herbs planted in the ground were devoured, and they were all stuffed into the Chaos Fan, even pulling up the soil three yards deep.
It must be said that although this method was crude, it was effective.
Within just a few months, Zhong Yue had scavenged all the essence of the first layer of the Heavenly Realm, even taking some precious soil with him.
After the first layer, came the second, then the third…
After consuming a hundred years, Zhong Yue finally reached the thirty-third layer of the Heavenly Realm.
By now, the small world within his Chaos Fan was already filled to the brim.
In fact, this was after he had carefully selected what to take.
By the time he reached the tenth layer, Zhong Yue realized that the method of digging up soil was no longer feasible.
The thirty-three layers of the Heavenly Realm were so vast, and although the world contained within his Innate Treasure was large, it couldn’t hold so much.
So, from then on, Zhong Yue only selected spiritual roots, herbs, and some rare spiritual beasts, tossing away the rest.
Yes, he threw it away—he was that reckless.
The truth was, there was no choice; he simply couldn’t take it all.
At this moment, he regretted not bringing the Void Mirror along.
If he had, with the spatial laws within the Void Mirror, he could have transported the essence of the Heavenly Realm directly to Mount Tai.
Although it would have been slower, at least he could have taken it with him.
After calming his mind, Zhong Yue swept through the thirty-third layer of the Heavenly Realm, and then arrived at its core region.
Next, it was time to collect the final treasure—the key to the Heavenly Realm.
