Chapter 1269: Chapter 1269: Initial Understanding of the Martial Realm
Watching the flowing lights around him, Ye Luo was thrilled to his core, a sentiment anyone would share, for this was a journey to the Martial Realm!
The Martial Realm, a mythical existence, a place countless masters from the Hidden Sect dreamt of reaching!
And now, the opportunity lay before Ye Luo!
If Ye Luo wasn’t thrilled, no one would believe it.
However, just as Ye Luo’s excitement peaked, Ao Long threw a wet blanket over it.
"Yo, young man, not bad. You actually have such an opportunity, to send your Divine Soul into the Martial Realm? But don’t get too excited, kid. It’s just your Divine Soul entering; what do you think it will do? Let me tell you the truth, once you’re in, not only are you restricted to a specific Formation area, but you will also lose all your abilities. You’ll merely be a spectator."
So, it’s not the physical body entering?
But upon reflection, it made sense; even Immortal Mountain, no matter how formidable, couldn’t possibly send someone over so easily.
Of course, even if it’s just the Divine Soul entering, it’s still absolutely worth the excitement, after all, this is the Martial Realm!
At this moment, Ye Luo felt more exhilarated than when he first left the mountain.
Back then, Ye Luo’s heart was full of anticipation for the dazzling world!
But this time, what he anticipated was the world of the strong!
"Even if it’s just the Divine Soul entering, I still made it there, at least. Isn’t that way better than many who never had the chance to step into the Martial Realm in their lifetimes? Right?"
Ye Luo retorted to Ao Long.
"If you, kid, had received the heritage of the Dragon Clan and still couldn’t enter the Martial Realm, that would be seriously underestimating my Dragon Clan. Alright, just enjoy yourself. I’m off to rest!"
"By the way, Senior, why have you been resting all this time?"
On reflection, Ye Luo realized it was true; Ao Long had been strangely quiet lately, and this old dragon was far from a silent character!
"Isn’t it all for you, kid? You think gathering Dragon Origin is easy? I’ve saved you several times, and now, I’ve even granted you my heritage at great cost. How dare you question me?"
Ye Luo fell silent. It was best not to pursue the topic since Ao Long was indeed doing all this for Ye Luo.
In this world of light screens, the concept of time seemed to have been lost.
It seemed like just a blink of an eye, or perhaps centuries had passed, and finally, Ye Luo arrived in the Martial Realm.
However, the moment Ye Luo opened his eyes, he was stunned.
He even wondered if he truly arrived at the Martial Realm,
Or had he traveled to another place entirely?
Because at this moment, Ye Luo found himself on the roof of a skyscraper. Here, it was a sci-fi world, a world dominated by technology, which differed greatly from the Martial Realm Ye Luo had imagined.
"Ao Long Senior, Senior, are you there?"
Unable to contain his confusion, Ye Luo could only call out to Ao Long, who might have the answers.
"What’s the matter, kid? What do you need?"
Ao Long’s voice came through, and without hesitation, Ye Luo immediately asked, "Senior Ao Long, what’s going on here? This, this Martial Realm, why is it different from what I imagined?"
"Oh, what do you think the Martial Realm is like? Haha, wake up to reality. This is the Martial Realm; it’s just that you’re in the outermost region of the Martial Realm."
"What do you mean? What’s this ’outermost region’?"
Ye Luo was even more confused. With such advanced technology here, why would it be called the outermost world?
"Alright, since you’re already here in the Martial Realm, I’ll go ahead and enlighten you on some common knowledge of the Martial Realm! As I’ve told you before, the Martial Realm is a great world, and in addition to that, there are three thousand minor worlds. Of course, the ’three thousand’ is just a conceptual term and not an exact number. Each minor world has its own cultural heritage, level of technology, and even different races. For instance, our Dragon Clan, in fact, also originated from a minor world!"
"Three thousand minor worlds mean countless civilizations, countless legacies, and countless faiths. When these legacies and faiths reach the Martial Realm, they naturally become divided into different regions. The region you’re in now is the weakest and outermost region of the Martial Realm. If I’m not mistaken, you should be in the Great Tang Empire! And this Great Tang Empire mainly uses technology to assist in cultivation, its strength is so-so!"
"Of course, the outer region also contains other types of civilizations, such as the gene-enhancement-focused Great Qin Empire, the plundering Beastman Empire, the nature-closely Elf Empire, and so on. There are far too many to count. The vastness of the Martial Realm is beyond your imagination. Take the Great Tang Empire, for example; I fear it is much bigger than your Earth from the minor world!"
"The outermost region is known as the Ninth Region, followed by the Eighth Region, which has various systems, cultures, and races just like the Ninth. Then comes the Seventh, Sixth, all the way to the ultimate First Region!"
"And our magnificent Dragon Clan is a powerhouse of the Fifth Region!"
...
As Ao Long elaborated, Ye Luo felt an extraordinary surge of excitement. What a vast stage was this? Now that he, Ye Luo, was here, what kind of accomplishments could he achieve?
Excited?
Very excited, his heartbeat was almost off the charts!
Thrilling?
Extremely thrilling. Just hearing Ao Long’s simple description made Ye Luo feel an irresistible urge to conquer the world!
Only upon reaching the Martial Realm did he realize how insignificant his former self was!
Minor world? Great world?
It turns out the so-called minor world was indeed very small! Very small!
Only when one reaches a certain level, can they see more, further!
"Alright, youngster, pay attention, someone is coming. I can’t show myself, but luckily, you are the one they’re expecting, so they shouldn’t cause you any harm!"
After finishing his words, Ao Long’s voice disappeared.
And Ye Luo turned his gaze towards the gate!
"Click!"
Suddenly, the gate opened, and Ye Luo was about to use his Clairvoyant Eye to observe the incoming person, but was shocked to discover that all his abilities were truly incapacitated.
"Are you Ye Luo?"
A pleasant voice came through, melodic and clear. Just this voice alone let Ye Luo know this was definitely a beauty. Unfortunately, she was wearing a helmet, preventing Ye Luo from seeing her face clearly.
"Yes, I am Ye Luo!"
"Good, I haven’t made a mistake then. You should know where this is, right? This is the Heavenly Palace Corporation. Let me introduce myself; my name is Li Wuyue. For the next three days, you’ll be under my charge! Now, tell me the purpose of your visit!"
Li Wuyue looked at Ye Luo and asked indifferently. Of course, perhaps now Ye Luo couldn’t be called Ye Luo anymore, because the current Ye Luo was nothing but a wisp of smoke, and if it weren’t for a special Magical Treasure containing him, his Divine Soul would have likely dissipated long ago!
