"Owner."
As soon as Lu Qing's mind entered the Fire Cauldron, "Yan" immediately came to greet him.
Since Lu Qing entered the Golden Core Realm, "Yan" has gradually changed his attitude towards Lu Qing.
Later, he even addressed Lu Qing as "master".
Lu Qing was initially a little unaccustomed to it, but seeing that "Yan" insisted on doing so, he let it go.
"What about the demonic cultivators?" Lu Qing asked.
"It is currently asleep. Over the years, because that demon cub has not been able to receive nourishment from demonic energy, it has spent most of its time asleep in order to reduce its consumption."
"Yan" replied.
"Mm." Lu Qing nodded slightly.
The fact that the demonic cultivators couldn't get their demonic energy replenished was something he deliberately did.
He had always been wary of that guy.
Even if it is branded with the mark of enslavement, it is still the same.
So over the years, he has only occasionally given it a little demonic energy to keep it from dissipating.
Never let it absorb too much power.
With a thought, a ball of light appeared in Lu Qing's hand, containing a black palm.
At the same time, he also moved the demonic cultivator who was curled up and sleeping in the corner of the spirit artifact space to this location.
"who!"
Such a commotion naturally woke the demonic cultivator immediately.
However, when it saw Lu Qing, its face lit up with surprise: "Master!"
"I remember you said that you came from the Tianyuan Great World and were one of the 108 demon generals under the Black Heaven Demon Lord?"
Lu Qing didn't mince words with the demonic cultivator and asked directly.
The demonic cultivator was taken aback at first, then quickly replied, "Yes, Master, in my memory, I was indeed one of the demon generals under the Demon Lord in my previous life."
"In that case, you should know a lot about the Tianyuan Great World, right?" Lu Qing continued to ask.
"Reporting to my master."
The demonic cultivator was somewhat puzzled as to why Lu Qing had suddenly become interested in matters concerning the Tianyuan Great World.
But this was a rare opportunity for it to show off, so it immediately said, "This humble servant has experienced the mysteries of reincarnation and the womb. Although some of my memories are missing, I still remember most of the things in the Tianyuan Great World."
"Alright, tell me everything you know about the Tianyuan Great World, especially the distribution of the major forces and how outsiders can enter the Great World."
"How do I enter the Tianyuan Great World? Could it be that my master...!"
Upon hearing Lu Qing's words, the demonic cultivator was greatly shocked.
It considered a possibility, but dared not believe it.
It should be noted that the Tianyuan Great World is incredibly far away from the remote little world where Lu Qing is located.
It hadn't been asleep for long, so how could Lu Qing have suddenly arrived in the Tianyuan Great World?
However, despite being shocked, the demonic cultivator dared not delay.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "The Tianyuan Great World is one of the most powerful worlds in the Great Yuan Immortal Realm..."
After the demonic cultivator's explanation, Lu Qing gradually gained a clearer understanding of this vast world.
According to the demonic cultivators, the Great Yuan Immortal Realm was originally the territory of the Great Yuan Immortal Dynasty.
The Tianyuan Great World is one of the most powerful Great Worlds in the Great Yuan Immortal Domain, and it is under the rule of the Great Yuan Immortal Dynasty.
However, more than 100,000 years ago, a great upheaval occurred in the Great Yuan Immortal Realm, causing the entire Great Yuan Immortal Dynasty to collapse.
Several of the most powerful worlds became independent, each operating on its own, no longer subject to the control of the Celestial Dynasty.
Tianyuan World is one of them.
However, even though it is independent, the Tianyuan Great World is not peaceful.
In the struggle for world domination, multiple factions launched a direct war.
Among them, the two major factions, the righteous path and the demonic path, fought the most fiercely.
The final result of the struggle was that the two sides were evenly matched, and neither could gain the upper hand.
"Back then, when I was being hunted down by righteous cultivators, I was forced to use the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique to escape."
In the Tianyuan Great World, the strength of the righteous and demonic paths is not far apart.
The Demon Lords and the many top Nascent Soul Realm experts of the righteous path kept each other in check and rarely made a move.
However, the lower- and middle-level cultivators constantly clashed and fought each other.
I was ambushed and hunted down by many righteous cultivators during an exploration of a secret realm.
Ultimately, he was forced to abandon his physical body and reincarnate using the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation technique.
“Mid-to-lower level cultivators...” Lu Qing pondered for a moment, then said, “Didn’t you say that you were a Nascent Soul Realm demonic cultivator back then? Even a Nascent Soul Realm expert is considered mid-to-lower level?”
"That's right. In the Great Yuan Immortal Realm, only those powerful Yuan Shen realm cultivators who have undergone seven tribulations or more are qualified to be called top-tier Yuan Shen."
"Back then, I was merely a Nascent Soul cultivator at the first stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and among the 108 Demon Generals under the Demon Lord, I was only ranked relatively low."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing was immediately shaken.
Even a powerful cultivator at the first stage of the Nascent Soul realm can only be considered a mid-level cultivator in the Tianyuan Great World.
The demon lord to whom the demon cultivator served in his previous life already had 108 demon generals under his command.
One hundred and eight Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, with countless Golden Core Realm and Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators under their command.
This is only the power of one Demon Lord. It's hard to imagine how many Nascent Soul experts there are in the entire Tianyuan Great World.
"Is this the foundation of a top-tier world? Compared to this, my home world is truly as insignificant as dust."
Lu Qing was deeply shocked and truly realized what the profound depths of the world meant.
He even thought about it more deeply: just how powerful was the Great Yuan Immortal Dynasty, which once ruled and controlled many top-tier worlds?
"It's a good thing I got out this time, otherwise if I had stayed in my home world all this time, I would have really become a frog in a well."
After calming down, Lu Qing...
He then asked, "So, how do I enter the Tianyuan Great World?"
When you see the vast and boundless power of the Tianyuan Great World.
Lu Qing realized that it would be impossible to sneak into the Tianyuan Great World using a void flying boat as he had done in his home world before.
With his current cultivation level, the void flying boat he's driving probably can't even get past the membrane of that world; he'll have to find another way.
Sure enough, the next moment, he heard the demonic cultivator report the truth.
"Each great world is a unified whole, and with the powerful membrane, it can shield against the penetration of most spatial supernatural powers and magical artifacts."
Therefore, even top-tier Nascent Soul cultivators find it difficult to force their way in.
Foreign cultivators who wish to enter the Tianyuan Great World can only do so by using the five smaller worlds outside and taking a teleportation array.
Back when Xiao Nu was still in the Tianyuan Great World, there were the five smaller worlds outside.
The righteous path and the demonic path each occupied two sides, while the remaining small world was occupied by the demon alliance.
Xiao Nu had been asleep for many years and had been reincarnated many times before she finally deciphered the mystery of her birth.
It's been quite some time since I left the Tianyuan Great World, and I wonder if the situation has changed.
Lu Qing recalled the five small worlds that he had seen before, slowly rotating around the Tianyuan Great World.
The auras they exuded were indeed different.
Two of these smaller worlds exuded a majestic and awe-inspiring aura of righteousness.
The other two small worlds, on the other hand, were cold and domineering, which he disliked quite a bit.
The last remaining small world possessed an evil aura, yet also carried a hint of unruliness and rebelliousness.
It must be the small world occupied by that demon race.
Clearly, the situation in the Tianyuan Great World did not change significantly during the time the demonic cultivators were away.
"So, as long as you enter the small world and then take the teleportation array, you can enter the Tianyuan Great World, right?" Lu Qing nodded.
However, to his surprise, the demonic cultivator shook his head.
"Of course it's not that simple."
"The Tianyuan Great World is so vast and powerful, and its world power is incredibly strong."
It is filled with countless opportunities and mysteries.
Even the omnipresent spiritual energy has many wonderful uses and is far more powerful than the spiritual energy of lower worlds.
Such a magnificent world is a sacred place for cultivation that countless cultivators yearn for.
Since it is a sacred place for cultivation, it is naturally not so easy to enter.
The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!
There are generally two ways for outside cultivators to enter the Tianyuan Great World.
One option is to pay a substantial amount of spirit stones to gain the right to reside there.
Another way is to join one of the factions in the Tianyuan Great World.
Whether recruited as a disciple or becoming a guest elder of a sect, one is qualified to enter the Great World.
However, becoming a guest elder of a sect is not easy.
Even some small sects require a cultivation level of at least Golden Core...
"I see."
As the demonic cultivator recounted his story, Lu Qing realized that his previous thoughts had been somewhat naive.
Yes, the Tianyuan Great World is so mysterious; if it were so easy to enter...
The cultivators from other small and medium worlds would probably have already been scrambling to get in and seek opportunities.
How could the local forces in the Tianyuan Great World tolerate such a situation?
"It seems that I can only choose a small world to stay in for the time being, and then see if I can have the opportunity to enter the Tianyuan Great World."
Lu Qing didn't have many spirit stones to begin with, and he used up some more on the way here.
He now has so few spirit stones left that he can count them on his fingers.
It's likely that the funds wouldn't be enough to cover the cost of entering the Tianyuan Great World.
But no matter what, we have to make contact before we can have a chance to find a solution.
Next, Lu Qing asked the demonic cultivator many questions about the details of entering the small world. After making sure he understood everything, he threw out the black hand.
"You did a good job this time, so this Demonic Palm is your reward."
"Thank you, Master!"
The demonic cultivator caught the palm and was overjoyed.
Over the years, Lu Qing has entered the Fire Cauldron very rarely, which has given it few opportunities to ask him for demonic energy.
Furthermore, since "Yan" itself dislikes it, it is even less likely that it will relay its message.
This has made life quite difficult for demonic cultivators these past few years, forcing them to reduce the consumption of their original demonic energy by going into a deep sleep.
Now that I have obtained this hand from my own body, I can finally replenish my demonic energy.
After giving away the Demon Body Palm, Lu Qing ignored the demon cultivator's joy, withdrew his mind from the Li Huo Cauldron, and returned to his physical body.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Li and Wu Xing staring intently at him.
"Aqing, you're awake. Can we set off now?"
When Xiao Li saw that Lu Qing had woken up, she immediately asked,
"That's about it. After making some more preparations, we can set off."
In the following two days, Lu Qing spent more time making ample preparations before piloting the Void Flying Boat and heading towards the vast world ahead.
However, although the Tianyuan Great World looks close at hand, it is actually still quite far from where Lu Qing and his group are.
Over the next ten days, Lu Qing propelled the Void Flying Boat at a speed a hundred times faster than the limits of his home world, before finally arriving before one of the small worlds.
During this process, the closer Lu Qing and his companions got to the Tianyuan Great World, the more they could feel the vast and boundless power of that world.
Lu Qing only saw it when he got close to one of the small worlds.
On the outer edge of that small world, there floated a piece of land as large as a state in the home world.
The area was shrouded in the light of an array, through which one could see many magnificent buildings inside.
It turned out to be a magnificent city floating in the starry sky.
"The five smaller worlds surrounding the Tianyuan Great World are actually equivalent to five portals."
Only by using the teleportation arrays within these five portals can one officially enter the Tianyuan Great World.
However, even those five small worlds are not so easy to enter.
Only after passing through the Star City above the miniature world and having their identities verified can they enter.
Thinking about the demonic cultivator's words, Lu Qing slowly reduced the speed of the Void Flying Boat and gradually approached the Star City ahead.
The world he chose was naturally one of the two small worlds controlled by the Righteous Alliance in the Tianyuan Great World.
After all, the cultivation methods he practiced were all orthodox and respectable.
If we were to venture into a small world controlled by demonic cultivators, who knows what might happen?
Just as the Void Ship was about to arrive at the magnificent city gate of Star City.
Suddenly, a huge white array of light appeared on the city gate and shot towards the Void Ship.
Lu Qing remained calm and allowed the flying boat to be enveloped.
He knew this was a necessary procedure to enter the City of Stars.
The light from this array was not hostile; it was merely a check to see if his flying boat was a demonic artifact.
Sure enough, after scanning for a while, the light of the array slowly receded.
At the same time, a gap appeared in the array barrier in front of the city gate, allowing the Void Ship to pass through.
Lu Qing piloted the Void Ship, passed through the gap, and finally landed slowly in front of the city gate.
With Xiao Li and Wu Xing by his side, they disembarked from the Void Flying Boat and then put the boat away.
Lu Qing then led the two little ones toward the city gate.
"Fellow Daoists, you must be tired from your journey. May I ask where you come from and how you should be addressed?"
At the city gate, there was a table and a chair, where a slightly plump old man was sitting, asking Lu Qing questions with a friendly expression.
However, Lu Qing could sense that the old man in front of him possessed an aura as deep as the ocean.
Without using his special abilities, he couldn't tell the extent of the problem at all.
He immediately realized that this person must be a powerful being at the Nascent Soul Realm, above the Golden Core stage.
He dared not be negligent and immediately bowed respectfully, saying, "Junior Lu Qing comes from a remote small world. These two are junior's spirit pets. Greetings, senior."
"Greetings, senior!"
Xiao Li and Wu Xing also bowed to the old man with some nervousness.
They could also vaguely sense how terrifying the old man before them was.
