Chapter 2122 : The Gathering of Ten Primordial Domains
It was precisely as the Southern Abyss Domains were laying down their formation that the various Demon Sovereign [supreme demonic rulers] of the Northern Abyss observed this scene unfold.
Watching the two newly joined ancient domains, their expressions all grew solemn. The Prison-Suppressor Demon Sovereign spoke, "They have assembled ten great ancient domains. Should we intervene to stop them?"
"There is no need."
The Outer Realm Demon Emperor [a demonic emperor from beyond this realm] shook his head, restraining the eager Heavenly Emperor [celestial sovereigns] of the Northern Abyss.
He took a deep breath and then declared, "Given their current strength, our chances of success in an attack are slim. Moreover, such a move would likely allow the Blazing Center Supreme [the Supreme Being of the Blazing Center] to profit from our conflict."
"Furthermore, although these ten Primordial Domain [domains of primordial power] are formidable, one among them has long since fallen from its peak grade. This flaw means the formation's power can only be unleashed at half its potential, posing no immediate, overwhelming threat."
Hearing this, the assembled figures all let out a slight sigh of relief.
Yet, the Prison-Suppressor Demon Sovereign remained unconvinced, his expression darkening as he spoke with reluctance, "But if we allow this to continue, they will inevitably gather the full complement of ten Primordial Domain."
"They will not succeed."
The Outer Realm Demon Emperor stated with utter calm, "The Blazing Center Supreme will not permit him to reach that point. Moreover, he himself has not joined the ranks of the Hundred Domains Path Union Alliance."
"Without the Path Union Alliance and those Half-Step Path Union cultivators holding back Blazing Center Supreme for him, he would never have been able to gather ten Primordial Domain."
As he spoke to this point, the expression of the Outer Realm Demon Emperor turned grave once more.
He slowly rose to leave, his parting words chillingly cold: "However, the bird that sticks its head out gets shot. Returning Abyss Path Master is now hailed as the foremost figure beneath the Path Union realm within the Blazing Central Hundred Domains."
"His prominence has now surpassed my own, making him Blazing Center Supreme's greatest threat. I suspect Blazing Center Supreme is already plotting how to deal with him."
"All we need is sufficient patience, waiting for the crucial moment to deliver the fatal blow."
"Hmph. Such audacity."
While the Northern Abyss Emperors observed from the sidelines, Blazing Center Supreme was also watching this scene through the Heaven-Deduction Mirror.
Watching as the Southern Abyss Emperors began deploying their formation, Blazing Center Supreme's expression grew increasingly frigid, his fist clenching tightly in the end.
"No matter how powerful the formation, you will inevitably have to leave its protection one day."
"Just wait. The day will come when I select an excellent burial ground for you."
"..."
On the other side, after Eldrin Chen joined forces with the various Heavenly Emperors to deploy the colossal Chaos Grand Formation, he arrived within the Great Wasteland Ancient Realm [a primordial world of immense desolation].
Gazing upon the Great Wasteland Ancient Realm, Eldrin Chen could not help but sink into deep contemplation.
After a long moment, his Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] descended into the very source of the Great Wasteland Ancient Realm. He looked towards the will of this world's heaven and earth and asked, "How can your rank be restored?"
The will of heaven and earth pondered briefly before replying, "In the past, the world shattered, losing most of its form. The loss of its origin caused its rank to fall completely."
"Although much has been restored now, a crucial thread of foundational essence is still missing. To fully regain its former rank will be exceedingly difficult."
Eldrin Chen nodded, then pressed on, "In your view, what is required for a complete restoration?"
"If the World's Origin [the foundational spiritual essence of a world] were to become tenfold richer, coupled with a sliver of Chaos [the primordial state before creation] opportunity, perhaps the damaged parts could be mended."
The will of heaven and earth spoke, its tone carrying an unusual gravity.
Hearing this, Eldrin Chen's brow furrowed slightly.
As a Quasi-Primordial Domain [a realm on the cusp of becoming a true Primordial Domain], the current foundational power of the Great Wasteland Ancient Realm now surpasses the spiritual energy reserves of a Sage Ascendant [a cultivator who has ascended to the Sage realm] by more than tenfold.
Under such circumstances, attempting to increase this foundational power by another tenfold presents a challenge nearly as daunting as scaling the heavens themselves.
The primary difficulties are twofold. First, the rate at which the Great Wasteland Ancient Realm converts Sea of Chaos Water [primordial waters brimming with chaotic energy] is insufficient, and the Great Wasteland Ancient Tree [the ancient, world-anchoring tree of the realm] alone cannot facilitate a tenfold increase in the realm's foundational essence.
Second, even if the Great Wasteland Ancient Realm could accumulate foundational essence at a rate ten times faster, storing ten times the amount presents its own monumental hurdle.
For the load-bearing capacity of a Quasi-Primordial Domain is finite. Attempting to contain ten times the foundational essence within the Great Wasteland Ancient Realm would be akin to forcing a boulder into a vessel of sand—the slightest misstep could cause the entire realm to rupture catastrophically.
Understanding these constraints, Eldrin Chen spoke. "Transforming Chaos Genesis Energy [the primordial energy from which all things are born] is not the issue. I can elevate the Great Wasteland Ancient Tree to become a Chaos Spiritual Root [a root of existence capable of directly drawing upon and refining Chaos energy]."
"With the conversion capability of such a Spiritual Root [a natural formation that gathers and refines spiritual energy], increasing the vital energy of the Great Wasteland Ancient Realm tenfold would be straightforward. As for storing the World's Origin [the condensed, primordial essence that forms a world's foundation]..."
Eldrin Chen paused briefly before continuing. "I shall utilize the power of the Cosmic Sky Sundial [a treasure that governs the flow of space and time] to carve out another Space-Time Secret Realm [a pocket dimension with altered space-time laws] within the Great Wasteland Ancient Realm, dedicated solely to storing the World's Origin."
"This reserve of foundational essence must remain untouched, to be released gradually only when the time comes for the ascension to a true Primordial Domain [the most ancient and potent class of realms]."
Hearing this, the will of the realm itself inquired, "That is indeed an elegant solution. But what of the missing catalyst for Chaos [the state of primordial, undifferentiated existence]? How shall we obtain it?"
Eldrin Chen had anticipated this. After a moment of silence, he spoke, "I shall lend you a portion of Chaos Genesis Energy [the primordial creative force from which all things originate]. This should be sufficient for you to trace the Chaos [the primordial state of undifferentiated existence] opportunity within a Rare Treasure [an artifact of immense rarity and power]."
"If that is the case, then my thanks."
The Will of Heaven and Earth spoke. Within its typically emotionless intent, a rare ripple of feeling stirred in Eldrin.
Eldrin Chen said no more. Leaving behind a portion of Chaos Genesis Energy, he departed from the presence of the World's Origin [the foundational spiritual core of a world] and arrived at the heart of the Great Wasteland Ancient Realm.
Beneath the Great Wasteland Ancient Tree [a primordial tree of immense age and spiritual significance], a young maiden was meticulously tending to the ancient tree and the surrounding medicinal gardens.
"Sturdy Fellow!"
Eldrin Chen was momentarily taken aback, a flicker of surprise crossing his features.
Upon first seeing Eldrin Chen, the maiden's expression grew distant, lost in thought. Only after a long while did a gentle smile touch her lips. "Big Brother, it has been a long time."
"A very long time indeed."
Eldrin Chen spoke slowly, a profound sense of nostalgia welling up within him.
Back when Eldrin Chen first entered the Great Wasteland Ancient Realm, his relationship with Sturdy Fellow was exceptionally close.
However, Sturdy Fellow's cultivation base was ultimately too low. In the subsequent battles Eldrin Chen repeatedly engaged in, she found it difficult to be of much assistance. Meanwhile, Eldrin Chen himself was preoccupied with cultivation and warfare, leading to a gradual decrease in their interactions.
This was especially true after Liana Imperial Lord became Eldrin Chen's concubine. The young woman Sturdy Fellow also consciously began to reduce her contact with Eldrin Chen.
Later, when Eldrin Chen returned to the Southern Abyss Seven Domains, his true self rarely ventured back into the Great Wasteland Ancient Realm. It had been two thousand Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles] since he had last seen Sturdy Fellow.
A wave of emotion washed over Eldrin Chen. He couldn't help but look at Sturdy Fellow and noticed, to his surprise, that her cultivation progress was not slow. Unbeknownst to him, she had already reached the Primordial One Imperial Lord Late Stage.
Although this level of cultivation could not compare to that of Eldrin Chen's direct disciples, she was, after all, not one of his disciples or followers and had not received the same level of precious resource cultivation.
That she had cultivated to this realm was largely due to her own efforts and fortune. It was clear that Sturdy Fellow's innate talent and potential were absolutely not to be underestimated.
Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen felt a desire to nurture talent stir within him. He couldn't resist asking, "Since you've come to the Southern Abyss Domains, why not go cultivate within the Returning Abyss Grotto-Heaven?"
"There's no need."
Contrary to expectations, Sturdy Fellow shook her head, declining Eldrin Chen's offer of patronage.
He was about to speak and inquire, but saw Sturdy Fellow shake her head and say, "In what capacity would you be looking out for me?"
This gave Eldrin Chen a slight pause, plunging him into a moment of hesitation.
Seeing this, Sturdy Fellow spoke instead: "We, the children of the Great Wasteland, have always been self-reliant. We do not crave the charity of others."
"Even between cultivation partners, we treat each other as equals. We support each other on the path forward; there is no talk of one depending on the other."
Having said her piece, Sturdy Fellow offered a faint smile.
She rose to leave, then turned back to look at Eldrin Chen one last time. Finally, she spoke: "Big Brother, I truly enjoy calling you that. But I do not wish to owe you too much."
After Sturdy Fellow had departed, Eldrin Chen was left with a profound sense of speechlessness.
He understood Sturdy Fellow's feelings, yet he knew, in the end, that he could not give her what she desired.
What Sturdy Fellow sought was an equal partnership in affection, a bond of mutual support where they were each other's sole companion. This, however, was something he could no longer offer.
From the moment he took a second cultivation partner, he had forever forfeited the ability to offer anyone else equality and fairness in matters of the heart.
Even her most beloved Exquisite Jiang, how could she be said to have possessed more than a part of him?
And Sturdy Fellow's refusal to accept his gifts was not merely a matter of her temperament; in truth, she feared losing that sense of equality between them.
She was afraid that receiving too many boons from Eldrin Chen would leave her unable to repay the debt, potentially kindling thoughts of offering herself in marriage as compensation.
Watching Sturdy Fellow's retreating figure, a faint smile finally touched Eldrin Chen's lips. "Even after thousands of Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles]," he said softly, his voice carrying to her, "your original heart remains unchanged."
"That is good. May you always preserve that essence of yourself. May the girl you are now still reside within you after the passage of endless ages."
"..."
Only after Sturdy Fellow had vanished completely did Eldrin Chen make his way alone to the side of the Great Wasteland Ancient Tree. He stood before the ancient tree, its years measured in epochs, and sank into deep contemplation.
"Using Primordial Chaos Source Essence [the foundational energy of primordial chaos] to shatter the bottleneck, then supplementing with Chaos Genesis Energy [the creative force born from chaos] to aid its advancement—this should conserve a significant amount," he mused to himself.
His Reincarnation Body [an avatar created through a profound reincarnation art] stood beside him and suddenly spoke.
Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod. "Conceal the Celestial Mechanism [the workings of heavenly fate and cosmic law] for me," he instructed.
The Reincarnation Body [a divine ability that creates a temporary duplicate of oneself] did not answer. Instead, it instantly activated the Space-Time Great Path [a supreme divine ability to manipulate the fabric of space and time] to envelop the void. Simultaneously, it pushed the power of the Sacrificial Self Path [a profound cultivation art that sacrifices one's own essence for immense power] to its absolute limit, shrouding the entire Great Wasteland Sacred Hall [the central holy temple of the Great Wasteland realm].
Without further hesitation, Eldrin Chen expelled a wisp of Primordial Chaos Source Essence [the foundational, unformed essence from which all creation springs] and infused it into the process. He then retrieved a strand of Chaos Genesis Energy [the primordial energy that sparks the birth of new worlds] and slowly guided it to merge as well.
As the Chaos Genesis Energy and the Primordial Chaos Violet Aura [a supreme-grade chaotic energy with a violet hue] were absorbed, the Great Wasteland Ancient Tree [the World Tree at the heart of the Great Wasteland, sustaining its very existence] finally began to undergo a trace of metamorphosis.
Eldrin Chen promptly activated the Cosmic Sky Sundial [a legendary artifact capable of accelerating the flow of time within a localized area] to hasten the Space-Time [the fundamental dimensions of reality, space and time]. He then brought forth the Primordial Energy Vase of Heaven and Earth [a treasure vase that can nurture and accelerate the growth of spiritual plants and essences] to further catalyze the process. After roughly several Kalpa Tribulation [an immense cosmic cycle spanning billions of years] had passed, he finally succeeded in aiding the Great Wasteland Ancient Tree to complete its advancement.
"Boom—!"
Upon its successful ascension, the potency and profound mysteries of the Great Wasteland Ancient Tree increased by more than tenfold.
With a mere moment of calculation, Eldrin Chen discovered that the tree's rate of converting Sea of Chaos Water [a vast ocean composed of unrefined primordial chaos energy] had increased approximately one hundred and eight times.
At this accelerated pace, the Great Wasteland Ancient Realm [the ancient and primordial world known as the Great Wasteland] would require only ten thousand Kalpa Tribulation to accumulate sufficient World's Origin [the fundamental source energy required for a world to evolve and ascend] for its own advancement.
Furthermore, with the Cosmic Sky Sundial accelerating Space-Time, this timeframe could be compressed to within thirty Kalpa Tribulation.
Subsequently, Eldrin Chen utilized the power of the Cosmic Sky Sundial to carve out a Space-Time Secret Realm [a pocket dimension with altered flow of time] within the Great Wasteland Ancient Realm, intended to store any surplus World's Origin.
After completing all this, Eldrin Chen finally clapped his hands and said, "Now, we need only wait for the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy [the foundational spiritual essence of heaven and earth] to become abundant, and then the Great Wasteland Ancient Realm [a primordial and desolate world] can be restored to its proper rank."
With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Eldrin Chen left his Reincarnation Body [a powerful avatar formed through reincarnation cycles] to continue guarding the place, while he himself returned to the depths of the Great Wasteland Ancient Realm to enter secluded cultivation.
Yet this period of secluded cultivation did not last long. After merely several tens of millions of years, Eldrin Chen was startled awake by an overwhelmingly powerful aura.
He immediately departed from the Chaos Grotto-Heaven [a sanctuary realm within the primordial chaos] and discovered a majestic figure striding through the Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation].
It was a figure of boundless majesty. Its blazing Vitality [the fundamental life force and vigor of a being] shone like an eternal, scorching sun, so brilliant that even the vast Sea of Chaos [the endless ocean of primordial chaos] seemed feeble and insignificant before such power.
Even with Eldrin Chen's current level of cultivation, facing this person evoked a sense of insurmountable powerlessness.
"This power... it belongs to the lineage of the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Art [a supreme cultivation method involving nine profound transformations]," he murmured to himself after a moment of contemplation, his expression turning grave.
At that very moment, the various Emperors from the Southern Abyss Seven Domains [a coalition of seven powerful domains in the southern abyss] arrived one after another at Eldrin Chen's side. The Obsidian Abyss Heavenly Emperor [the sovereign ruler of the Obsidian Abyss domain] also made his appearance.
The Obsidian Abyss Heavenly Emperor glanced at the distant figure, then turned to Eldrin Chen. "If my assumptions are correct," he said, "this person is likely an Elder [a senior and powerful member of a sect or lineage] from the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Art lineage."
Eldrin Chen nodded slowly, his gaze fixed on the approaching, sun-like presence, his mind already calculating the implications of such a powerhouse's arrival.
Eldrin Chen nodded, about to speak, when he noticed the imposing figure approaching.
The newcomer possessed a physique of immense grandeur, his Chaos True Body seemingly vaster than an entire Primordial Domain. He rode upon a Qilin Saint Emperor [a mythical beast of supreme auspiciousness and power] whose form blotted out the sky, his aura overwhelming even the Vast and Boundless Chaos Sea.
Eldrin Chen sensed that this individual, both in cultivation base and presence, far surpassed Blazing Center Supreme.
"A top-tier Supreme [a title for a cultivator who has unified their Great Path and reached the pinnacle of their current realm]," he assessed inwardly.
"And the Qilin Saint Emperor he rides is itself an existence at the Path Union Supreme Realm [the highest stage of the Path Union realm]."
Eldrin Chen murmured silently within his heart. Drawing upon the insight and experience of the former Nameless Path Ancestor, he swiftly gauged the newcomer's strength.
The disparity in power between different Path Union Supreme could be immense, depending on their potential and actual attainment.
The most ordinary Path Union Supreme mastered only a single Supreme Great Path [a perfected and unified cultivation methodology] at the Path Union level. Their combat prowess was roughly equivalent to ten Half-Step Path Union joining forces.
Someone like Blazing Center Supreme, who, in addition to cultivating a Supreme Great Path, had also attained at least the cultivation of a Soul Path Heavenly Emperor [a powerful realm focused on soul refinement], was considered a powerful Path Union Supreme.
Beyond that, those capable of cultivating two Supreme Great Path were the pinnacle Path Union Supreme. Their strength could contend with three to five ordinary Path Union Supreme at once.
As for those who have cultivated three Supreme Great Path [the highest echelons of cultivation arts], they stand at the Half-Step Limitless Realm [a quasi-state of boundless power]. Such individuals have mastered three Supreme Great Path and have at least one primary cultivation art among them that possesses the potential to reach the true Limitless [the ultimate state of cultivation].
The might of these Half-Step Limitless Sovereign [a ruler at the threshold of the Limitless Realm] is earth-shattering and heaven-rending. A dozen or so ordinary Path Union Supreme [Supreme cultivators who have unified their cultivation paths] would be mere lambs to the slaughter before them.
Someone like Blazing Center Supreme [the Supreme of Blazing Center] could be utterly suppressed by such a being with a single hand.
The unfamiliar Supreme [a title for a peak-level cultivator] before them had likely stepped into the ranks of the top-tier Supreme Domain [the pinnacle stage within the Supreme Realm]. However, according to Eldrin Chen's estimation, this person's cultivation had probably not yet crossed the threshold into the Half-Step Limitless [the state just before the Limitless Realm].
Even so, this individual's power was undeniably formidable.
With his own strength at the Pinnacle Supreme [the absolute peak of the Supreme Realm], augmented by his mount—the Qilin Saint Emperor [a Saint Emperor of the mythical Qilin lineage] who was at the Path Union Supreme Realm [the Supreme Realm where one's cultivation paths are unified]—he could likely subdue Blazing Center Supreme within a hundred exchanges.
"Roar—"
At that very moment, the azure Qilin Saint Emperor let out a thunderous roar before finally coming to a halt before the assembled group.
Upon the Qilin Saint Emperor's back, the imposing man swept his gaze over the crowd. His eyes then settled on Obsidian Abyss Great Emperor [the Great Emperor of the Obsidian Abyss], and he spoke, "Are you, by chance, my junior brother Obsidian Abyss?"
Upon hearing this, Obsidian Abyss Heavenly Emperor [the Heavenly Emperor from the Obsidian Abyss domain] immediately rose and clasped his hands in a respectful salute. "It is indeed this junior. Obsidian Abyss pays his respects to you, Senior."
"There is no need for such formality."
The imposing man smiled, gesturing with a wave to help him rise.
He then tossed a command token to Obsidian Abyss Heavenly Emperor [the title of the celestial realm he rules] before speaking calmly, "I am Suppress Nine Heavens, the Reception Elder [an elder responsible for welcoming and guiding new disciples] of the Nine Revolutions Ancestral Court [the supreme ancestral sect of the Nine Revolutions lineage]. I am also one of the inner disciples of the Nine Revolutions Path Ancestor [the founding patriarch of the Nine Revolutions Path]."
"Once you arrive at the Nine Revolutions Ancestral Court, we will be of the same family. In the future, we may even become fellow disciples, so there is truly no need for such excessive courtesy."
Obsidian Abyss Heavenly Emperor dared not presume upon this familiarity. He still clasped his hands respectfully and said, "How could I presume? On the path of cultivation, those of greater attainment are revered. Since my own cultivation is insufficient, I naturally must not overstep or be discourteous."
Hearing this, Suppress Nine Heavens gave a slight, approving nod, his expression growing even more satisfied.
Since he had taken up the mantle of Reception Elder, more than a million Kalpa Tribulation [a cosmic cycle of immense duration] had passed. In that time, he had welcomed over a hundred Chaos Heavenly Emperor [a title for a supreme emperor who has mastered the Dao of Primordial Chaos] who had achieved their Dao through the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Art [a supreme cultivation art of the Nine Revolutions lineage].
Yet, among these Chaos Heavenly Emperor, fewer than one in ten had managed to cultivate the Chaos Divine Form [a divine physique born from mastering Primordial Chaos]. Only seven had succeeded.
Of those seven, five had already stepped into the Path Union Realm [the realm where one's cultivated Paths merge into one], while the remaining two were Path Union Supreme True Seed [a cultivator on the verge of achieving Path Union, possessing the seed of supreme truth].
Therefore, he naturally held Obsidian Abyss Heavenly Emperor, who had cultivated the Chaos Divine Form, in exceptionally high regard.
The courteous demeanor of Obsidian Abyss Heavenly Emperor [a title for a supreme ruler of a celestial domain] pleased him even more.
Thus, with a faint smile, he nodded and said, "You have already mastered the Chaos Divine Form [a supreme cultivation physique born from primordial chaos], your potential and aptitude are truly exceptional. You are destined to walk the same path as us, so there is no need for such excessive formality."
"Let it be so. From now on, you may address me as Senior Brother Nine Heavens [a title referring to the highest celestial realm]."
Hearing this, Obsidian Abyss Heavenly Emperor understood it was not mere politeness. He immediately smiled, bowed respectfully, and said, "My gratitude, Senior Brother Nine Heavens."
Suppress Nine Heavens [a powerful cultivator's title] nodded with satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Obsidian Abyss Heavenly Emperor and inquired, "When do you intend to depart with me?"
Obsidian Abyss Heavenly Emperor pondered for a moment before replying, "I wish to remain here for another thirty Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles, each spanning billions of years]. Would it be possible for you to wait a while longer?"
Suppress Nine Heavens did not answer immediately. He first glanced at the Great Wasteland Ancient Realm [an ancient and desolate world], then looked back at Eldrin Chen, instantly comprehending the entire situation.
He nodded, then fixed his gaze on Eldrin Chen. His pupils contracted slightly, and he could not help but exclaim in admiration, "Such remarkable innate talent. A pity you are not of our Nine Revolutions lineage."
"Young friend, would you be willing to join our Nine Revolutions lineage?"
Eldrin Chen shook his head and promptly clasped his hands in a respectful salute. "You honor me greatly, Senior. Yet, one's homeland is hard to leave. I fear I am not fated for such a blessing."
Suppress Nine Heavens [a powerful cultivator] nodded, then spoke, "Indeed. With your innate talent, reaching the Path Union Supreme [the supreme realm of Path Union] would be as easy as taking something from a bag. There is little necessity for you to join our Nine Revolutions Ancestral Court [the ancestral court of the Nine Revolutions lineage]."
Having said this, Suppress Nine Heavens then turned his gaze towards the Obsidian Abyss Heavenly Emperor [the Heavenly Emperor of the Obsidian Abyss] and said, "Since you are sincere, I shall lend you another hand."
As his words fell, he patted the Qilin Saint Emperor [the Saint Emperor of the Qilin lineage] he was seated upon and instructed, "Go and deliver a warning to the nearest Supreme [a title for a supreme-level being]. They are not to attack this place for ten thousand Kalpa Tribulation [cosmic cycles of immense duration]."
"Otherwise..."
Suppress Nine Heavens paused briefly, his eyes suddenly turning cold as he continued, "Otherwise, I shall personally pay them a visit."
"Roar—"
The Qilin Saint Emperor nodded, then transformed into a majestic Saint Emperor clad in blue-gold battle armor. He shattered the void and vanished into the Chaos [the primordial, formless chaos].
After only a brief moment, the Qilin Saint Emperor tore through the void and returned, giving a slight nod of acknowledgment to Suppress Nine Heavens.
Seeing this, Suppress Nine Heavens looked at the Obsidian Abyss Heavenly Emperor and said, "Junior Brother Obsidian Abyss, the cultivation environment here is rather poor; it is not a place for prolonged stay."
"If you wish to obtain subsequent cultivation techniques and even step into the Path Union Supreme Realm [the supreme realm within the Path Union], you must make haste to the Nine Revolutions Ancestral Court."
