Chapter 1251: Chapter 1252: Firmament World
The Firmament World, vast and boundless, is the true world of the heavens. In this endless, vast universe, the Firmament World stands as the highest place, surpassing the Nine Heavens and known as the Heaven beyond Heaven.
In this expansive Firmament World, it is said to be infinite, and no matter how strong your cultivation might be, to dream of traveling the entirety of it is sheer fantasy, demonstrating its vastness. Additionally, countless domains, ancient kingdoms, and sects pepper this world.
Li Tian once said that in the Firmament World, gods walk everywhere, a statement that holds true.
Anyone born in the Firmament World is innately divine, and in the future, their cultivation will at least reach the Divine Level. Naturally, this doesn’t mean they are gods from birth; they must still cultivate step by step. For those on the Firmament Earth, the path of cultivation is clear, and becoming a god is only a matter of time.
Yanzhou.
Yanzhou, located in the extreme north of the Firmament World, has an endless ice sea to the north, perpetually frozen; to the west lies Celestial Demon City, a realm dominated by demon beasts and governed by demon gods, rarely trodden by people.
As for the southeast, it leads to the core of the Firmament World. However, for the people of Yanzhou, they seldom leave Yanzhou, for the Firmament World is too vast; once they leave, the future is filled with uncertainty.
Of course, many once left Yanzhou to venture into the world beyond, yet there has been no news of them since, not even knowing if they are dead or alive. Those who manage to leave Yanzhou are assuredly the outstanding talents of the region.

At this moment, an expanse in the sky above the endless ice sea of Yanzhou suddenly tore open, and from within that space emerged a figure in white, holding a long spear, their flowing hair and handsome features striking the eyes.
This person is none other than Xiao Tianyu, who used the Spear of Space from the Primordial Continent, tearing through endless space to enter the Firmament World.
After annihilating the seven great sects in the Primordial Ancient Realm, he spent half a month with Ye Qingcheng but then left in haste. As for Ye Qingcheng, he settled her in the Xiliang Female Kingdom. Given her talent, joining the Xiliang Female Kingdom would certainly ensure she is valued.
Originally, Xiao Tianyu intended to send Ye Qingcheng to the Divine Realm to stay with Shangguan Biyue, Gu Yunxi, Long Ling’Er, and others, but Ye Qingcheng refused; she wanted to follow Xiao Tianyu and declared that she would catch up with him in the Firmament World.
Ye Qingcheng, always proud and ambitious, was evident even when she was the Iceberg President of Qingcheng International on Earth. Therefore, she believes only if her cultivation matches Xiao Tianyu can she be worthy of him.
The path of Martial Arts is endless. Since Ye Qingcheng is unwilling to abandon cultivation, Xiao Tianyu naturally wouldn’t stop her. Furthermore, Ye Qingcheng was chosen by the heavens, selected by Li Tian. If Li Tian’s prediction of a calamity descending in thirty-three years is true, Xiao Tianyu believes Ye Qingcheng must have a role to play.
Otherwise, why would Li Tian choose her?
"Is this the new world?" Xiao Tianyu stood in the void, looking down below with a slight thrill in his heart. Having been unbeatable in the Primordial Universe for several years, he felt a twinge of loneliness, but now, embracing a new Martial Arts Domain, his mood naturally differs.
Looking upon the snow-white, translucent buildings on the ice plain, Xiao Tianyu exhaled a long breath of turbid air and leaped down, landing on the vast, endless ice sea. Xiao Tianyu immediately felt an exceptionally dense Spiritual Qi surge towards him, penetrating his limbs and bones, as well as his major meridians. Clearly, the Spiritual Qi in this vast, endless ice plain was exceptionally dense, far beyond the Primordial Universe.
Looking ahead, an icy road emerged, bustling with people dressed lightly, despite temperatures below freezing.
For cultivators, the cold air was nothing.
Xiao Tianyu’s gaze pierced through the crowd, landing on a lavish building ahead, completely white as though carved from white jade, grand and majestic, harboring a Spirit Gathering Array within.
Xiao Tianyu passed through the crowd and arrived there, just setting foot on the jade steps when he felt a wave of Spiritual Qi several times denser than outside; Spiritual Qi is the breath necessary for cultivators, and for this building to possess such a Spirit Gathering Array to absorb the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth speaks volumes of the jade building’s depth.
Many people came and went on the white jade steps.
Xiao Tianyu chose this place for two reasons: firstly, it was convenient for gathering information, as the large crowd made inquiries easier; secondly, he needed to obtain a map of Yanzhou, which might be challenging to find elsewhere.
"Are you from another land?"
As soon as Xiao Tianyu entered the main hall, a hearty voice echoed nearby. Xiao Tianyu turned to see a slightly thin young man greet him, though his gaze was pure.
"Indeed!" Xiao Tianyu nodded slightly. The young man strolled forward, clasping his hands: "I am Hong Yuan!"
"Xiao Tianyu!"
"Brother Xiao, you seem quite distinguished; you must be quite famous!"
"Not at all!" Xiao Tianyu replied earnestly, "I ascended here from the Outer Domain, unfamiliar with everything here!"
"I see!" Hong Yuan nodded, "In that case, I admire Brother Xiao even more!"
"Why?" asked Xiao Tianyu, somewhat surprised. Hong Yuan continued, "Anyone who can ascend from the Lower Realm to the Firmament World possesses unparalleled tenacity. Ten thousand years ago, it is said someone named Li Tian ascended from the Lower Realm, but ultimately, he tread upon the proud, vanquishing sages, rising against the odds and standing atop the Firmament!"
"He built a Celestial Lord Divine Hall on the Firmament’s pinnacle, worshipped by all..."
"Stop!" Xiao Tianyu waved his hand. How is it that this old monster’s legend is everywhere? Hearing Li Tian’s name always annoys him. Hong Yuan’s face bore an odd expression.
Xiao Tianyu changed the subject: "Brother Hong, where might I obtain a map of Yanzhou?"
"A map?"
"Yes!"
"It might be hard to find!" Hong Yuan looked at Xiao Tianyu and said, "Yanzhou’s geographic area is immense. In Ice Sea City, it’s generally hard to grasp Yanzhou’s full scope, making Yanzhou maps rare; perhaps the four great powers possess them!"
Speaking of this, Hong Yuan seemed to remember something, "Brother Xiao, did you come to Ice Sea City hearing something, so you came specially?"
"What?" Xiao Tianyu was puzzled.
"The Fengyun Banquet!" As he spoke, a look of longing appeared on Hong Yuan’s face. Xiao Tianyu shook his head, "No, I just ascended from the Lower Realm, so I’m unfamiliar with everything here. By the way, Brother Hong, what did you mean by the four great powers?"
"They are Ice Sea City’s top four families, each with Divine Separation Stage experts overseeing them; below the Divine Separation Stage, there are also many Divine Level experts!" Hong Yuan continued, "These four families are situated in the southeast, northwest, four positions!"
"I see!" Xiao Tianyu nodded, "What’s the Fengyun Banquet about?"
