Chapter 446: Cultivation Realms and Classification of Worlds
After listening to Yu Nianzhen’s explanation, Jiang Yue immediately agreed.
Since he contracted XiaoLan, they had rarely been apart.
However, XiaoLan was a demonic beast.
Always keeping her at his side was not conducive to her development.
This time, letting her go by herself was an opportunity for growth.
"Later, she can join us to practice in the Boundless Mountain range." Jiang Yue said.
"Okay."
After that, the two found a remote place to study the information they bought from He Fan.
Five days later, they made copies of everything and sent XiaoLan to deliver them to the Cangxing Mountain.
"I feel a little complicated." Jiang Yue said as the two watched XiaoLan fly away.
"Are you worried for her?"
"No, I am not talking about XiaoLan." Jiang Yue sighed and turned to look at Yu Nianzhen.
"I thought worlds were classified according to their concentration of heaven and earth qi." He said and Yu Nianzhen nodded.
"I thought the same."
After reading the purchased information, the two realised their thoughts were wrong.
According to the information, heaven and earth qi had nothing to do with a world’s classification.
Rather, the level of the world’s top cultivators was the determining factor.
In low-grade worlds, the highest cultivation was the peak of the nascent soul realm compared to the immortal realm, immortal king realm, and immortal emperor realm in mid-grade, high-grade, and top-grade worlds.
Most importantly, Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen learned about the first zone of the Reincarnation world.
From the information, they knew there was a saint realm and a God realm above the immortal emperor realm.
However, saint realm and God realm cultivators had not appeared in the Ten Thousand Worlds Universe for a long time.
In the future, if an immortal emperor ascended to the saint realm, their world would automatically upgrade and the world mountain in the Reincarnation World would move to the first zone.
As for a world with a God realm cultivator, it was rumoured that everyone would be immortal at birth.
"If we want our Cangxing world to upgrade to a mid-grade world, we must become immortal realm cultivators." Jiang Yue said with a solemn look in his eyes.
From what the two knew, an upgrade would bring a lot of changes to the Cangxing world.
For one, the world’s qi would transform into immortal qi and its concentration would increase severalfold.
As a result, the cultivation talent and aptitude of the world’s people would undergo a gradual increase.
"XiaoYue, do you remember what senior Niu said?" Yu Nianzhen suddenly asked.
"I remember." Jiang Yue nodded and said.
Before they left the Cangxing world, senior Niu told them there were two ways to save old man Cang’s life.
The first way was to kill Siwang and the second was to become immortals.
"When we become immortals, the Cangxing world will upgrade. Is this what senior Niu meant?" Jiang Yue wondered.
"I think so." Yu Nianzhen answered.
"In that case, we really must become immortals as soon as possible."
"I know." Yu Nianzhen said and then continued.
"Old man Cang has less than ten thousand years. If we want to make it before he succumbs, there is only one way."
"It will be difficult." Jiang Yue sighed.
From one of the purchased books, they learned there were two ways for a reincarnation realm cultivator to advance to the immortal realm.
The first method was to diligently cultivate and gradually transform the body’s reincarnation qi into immortal qi.
However, this method was time-consuming and could take thousands of years.
Other than that, a cultivator could enter the transformation pool to directly transform their qi.
Unfortunately, there were only nine transformation pools in the Reincarnation World!
Even more unfortunate, each pool was only enough for one person and after use, it couldn’t be used again for one thousand years.
However, the competition for the transformation pools wasn’t as severe as the competition for some of the other opportunities in the Reincarnation World.
This was because the qualifications for entering the pools were too high and few cultivators could meet them.
"We just need to make sure we don’t lose our qualifications." Yu Nianzhen said.
"I know." Jiang Yue agreed and then continued.
"This Reincarnation World is becoming more and more mysterious."
"There is still a lot we don’t know." Yu Nianzhen said.
Although He Fang boasted that he knew everything, what he knew was just the tip of the iceberg.
If Yu Nianzhen wanted more answers, he would have to find them in the future.
"Azhen, if what we know is true, our Cangxing world wasn’t always a low-grade world."
"Seems like it." Yu Nianzhen nodded.
When he summed up the little bits of information he had, he guessed the Cangxing world used to be a high-grade or top-grade world.
"It’s scary to think that a high-grade or top-grade world could suddenly be reduced to a low-grade world." Jiang Yue said and sighed.
"That’s why we need to be more careful in the future." Yu Nianzhen said with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"If we have a chance, we must investigate the disappearance of our world’s ancient experts. Their disappearance should be the precursor for the Cangxing world’s downgrading."
"Okay."
After that, Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen left their resting place and continued to the Boundless Mountain range.
Along the way, the two discussed the information they read about.
They talked about the different world mountains, mountain masters, and famous masters.
In this way, a week passed and they finally arrived at the periphery of the Boundless Mountain range.
"The Boundless Mountain range has nine major mountains. Each mountain corresponds to a cultivation level." Jiang Yue stated.
"The first mountain has early stage sixth level demonic beasts. Most of the beasts correspond to the first level of the reincarnation realm but there are some dangerous ones near the mountain centre." Yu Nianzhen said.
"Let’s go in quickly."
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Yu Nianzhen questioned but had a knowing smile in his eyes.
"We don’t have a lot of time before we have to return to the Cangxing mountain. It’s best to use every moment wisely." Jiang Yue explained with a righteous look on his face.
"Is that so?"
"If not?"
Seeing the righteous look on his husband’s face, Yu Nianzhen did not expose him.
Instead, he took his hand and both walked into the first mountain.
"Don’t forget to pay attention to the Treasure compass." He reminded.
"I know." Jiang Yue said and took a quick look at the compass.
Unfortunately, the compass was still and didn’t point at any treasures.
"We are at the periphery. All the treasures in this outer area should have already been found." Yu Nianzhen soothed.
"It would be good if we found something that could assist our cultivation."
"Mmmm." Yu Nianzhen nodded but wasn’t too optimistic.
Although the Reincarnation World was a magical place that had many treasures, many people often came to the Boundless Mountain range.
If a treasure appeared, it was quickly taken away and few could escape being found.
"Azhen, there is an herb over there." Jiang Yue exclaimed and immediately walked towards the herb.
"It’s the blue leaf grass. It’s on the herb compendium we previously bought." Yu Nianzhen said.
"It’s one of the herbs used to refine the qi burst pill. Although it’s a common herb, we aren’t in a position to be choosy." Jiang Yue said and Yu Nianzhen nodded.
At the same time, he carefully dug the herb and replanted it in his jade box.
"We need more reincarnation stones." Jiang Yue sighed as he stared at the jade box.
Some of the reincarnation stones they got from the robbers were used to buy information but most were lost to the jade box.
Fortunately, the stones were not wasted.
As soon as they entered the jade box, they transformed the qi and the herbs inside experienced a growth spurt.
"There is only less than one hundred years before our opportunity comes. When the challenges start, we will earn a lot of reincarnation stones." Yu Nianzhen comforted.
"We still need to earn capital for gambling."
"We will earn it." Yu Nianzhen said and the two continued walking.
Soon after, they came across a level-six demonic beast.
The beast was a steel-boned ape and it charged as soon as it saw them.
"Azhen, leave it to me." Jiang Yue said and rushed forward.
"Be careful."
A moment later, Jiang Yue began to fight with the ape while Yu Nianzhen watched from the side.
When it was over, the two took the corpse and left the area.
"Azhen..." Jiang Yue said but stopped midway.
"The ape was several times more powerful than the same level beasts we found in the training grounds secret realm." Yu Nianzhen said.
"Mmmm." Jiang Yue agreed and then continued.
"For some reason, the demonic beasts in the training grounds secret realm gave me a different feeling from the one just now."
