I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 466: Chapter 422: (Revised) Departure! (March Bonus Chapter for 500 Monthly Tickets)

”Master Ancestor, what is the Upper Realm really like? Can you finally say something now?”

Below Qingyun Ridge, Wenn Miao rolled up her sleeves, preparing to tear open the void and take Jiang Yuebai and the three others to step into the Land of Chaos. She suddenly heard Jiang Yuebai’s question, then saw Xie Jingshan and Lu Nanzhi also gazing intently, stood straight and pondered.

”In fact, there’s a corresponding realm to the Earth Spiritual Realm, called the Heavenly Spirit Realm. Before experiencing the Heavenly Calamity, the Heavenly Spirit Realm and the Earth Spiritual Realm were a whole, the birthplace of the entire Cultivation Civilization, the land of each race’s progenitors. Currently, only the Earth Spiritual Realm is a small world protected by all the Star Alliances.”

”Beyond the Earth Spiritual Realm and the Heavenly Spirit Realm, countless realms collectively are referred to as the Upper Realm, some vastly exceeding the Earth Spiritual Realm a hundred times over, others not even as large as one region of the Earth Spiritual Realm. As for what they look like... look up.”

The three all looked up simultaneously. The east turned white; the sky was slightly bright, and there were still many stars twinkling in the sky.

”The Upper Realm is vast and boundless, and every star above our heads is a realm.”

Two meteors streaked across the sky, Xie Jingshan’s eyes lit up, ”Meteors!”

Wenn Miao said irritably, ”That’s a realm collapsing. Remember, in the Upper Realm, new realms are born from chaos every moment, and realms also perish when their Spiritual Energy is depleted, along with all living things in them. Not all realms endure like our Earth Spiritual Realm.”

”Realms like our Earth Spiritual Realm that won’t perish are called Constant Realms. According to the alignment of the stars, there are 365 Constant Realms in the Upper Realm. Aside from these 365 realms that are eternal, other realms, regardless of their size, face destruction as a matter of time. Let’s go; I’ll tell you the rest on the way.”

Wenn Miao raised her hand to tear open a slit in the void, rolled up sleeves with the wind, and with the three of them in tow, instantly traversed thousands of miles, from the mountain gate of the Heavenly Interence Sect to the west of the Land of Chaos.

It was Jiang Yuebai’s first time traveling this way. After landing, she grabbed Lu Nanzhi’s arm, feeling dizzy.

Lu Nanzhi was the same, squinting and shaking her head; only Xie Jingshan was unaffected, eagerly scanning the surroundings.

”So this is the legendary Land of Chaos? Where is the Boundary River?”

The world was a dark, misty murk, as if in the heart of a gray dust storm, with cold winds howling. Various auras mixed, making it impossible for Jiang Yuebai and the others to discern direction.

Suddenly, thunder appeared out of nowhere from behind. Jiang Yuebai watched, eyes wide, as a black rift was cleaved through the gray fog, similar to how Wenn Miao had just torn the void, and a strong suction immediately emanated from the rift.

”Careful.” Lu Nanzhi pulled Jiang Yuebai back.

Xie Jingshan’s robe was caught by the rift, instantly reduced to dust.

”My Vestment robe!”

Wenn Miao’s brow furrowed; she waved Xie Jingshan over to her side. ”Stay close to me; for you little Golden Cores, the Land of Chaos is deadly.”

The three hurriedly approached Wenn Miao; a white halo of light emanated from her, encasing them, moving westwards.

Soon after, the three emerged from the gray fog, greeted by a vast star river.

The stars shone brightly, casting colorful brilliance; intangible winds flowed between the starry rivers, leaving trails like dreamlike illusions.

Jiang Yuebai looked down; beneath her was a cliff-like ground, with earth and stones constantly crumbling and drifting into the star river, turning to dust upon a gust of wind.

Wenn Miao looked at the star river and said, ”The void is indeed beautiful, but for me, it’s extremely dangerous. I must maintain my Protective Gang Qi at all times, never losing focus, unless I reach the Refining Void Stage; only then can I truly come and go freely within the void. Before departure, let me remind you three once more.”

The three immediately stood ready, listening intently.

Wenn Miao continued, ”In the Upper Realm, the greatest power lies with the various Star Alliances, mostly controlled by Integration Great Powers from each realm. Mahayana Cultivators focus on pursuing the Immortal Dao and seldom appear. Below the various Star Alliances are the Realm Lords of each realm. Any cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Stage or above, with enough strength, may rule a realm as its lord, guiding all living things in that realm, rendering sect structures less important in the Upper Realm.”

”Generally, Divinity Transformation Cultivators aren’t qualified to be lords of Great Realms. They can only find a smaller realm on the outskirts of the Upper Realm to claim. Only the Great Powers of the Refining Void and Integration stages have the qualification and strength to be realm lords in the central Upper Realm. Our Heavenly Interence Sect is among the top three in the Earth Spiritual Realm, but in the Upper Realm, our strength doesn’t quite stand out.”

”Including the previous Fuyi and me, only eight Divinity Transformation Cultivators are still alive in the Heavenly Interence Sect, with two at the Refining Void Stage, none in the Integration or Mahayana stage, so in the Upper Realm, the Heavenly Interence Sect hardly counts. Please be cautious and don’t provoke powerful forces; otherwise, the Heavenly Interence Sect won’t have the capability to clean up after you.”

The three nodded repeatedly.

Wenn Miao took out three jade tokens and handed them to the three. ”Our Heavenly Interence Sect is under the Beidou Star Alliance; the elders from our sect wander across various realms, without a fixed abode. Along this journey, I’ll take you to the Dubhe Realm under the Beidou Star Alliance. Take my token, register your identities, and you can stay to cultivate in the Upper Realm. Also, you can leave a message at the Star Alliance outpost in the Dubhe Realm if needed.

”If you don’t register your identity, you won’t be able to normally use the Transmission Arrays between the realms. Being trapped in a Constant Realm wouldn’t be so bad, but if you get stuck in a realm on the brink of destruction, without Divinity Transformation level cultivation or a Cloud-Breaking Charge designed for traversing realms, you’ll just have to wait for death.”

Xie Jingshan raised his hand, ”Is a Cloud-Breaking Charge expensive, where to buy it?”

”Ask when you reach the Dubhe Realm yourself.”

Xie Jingshan nodded, telling Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nanzhi, ”Don’t worry, I’ve brought enough Spirit Stones; I’ll buy it for you when the time comes.”

”I have one.” Jiang Yuebai took out her Cloud-Breaking Charge.

”What? Let me see.”

Xie Jingshan reached out to take it; Wenn Miao was the first to suck the Cloud-Breaking Charge into her hand, saying to Jiang Yuebai: ”Your Cloud-Breaking Charge has the Green Dragon Realm’s mark. If you have extra Spirit Stones when you get to the Dubhe Realm, replace it as soon as possible; for now, use this Cloud-Breaking Charge to take you across; it’s safer than my Protective Gang Qi.”

Jiang Yuebai replied, ”Alright, Master Ancestor, can we find True Monarch Fuyi in the Dubhe Realm?”

”Leave a message when you arrive; she should come to see you if she sees it.”

”That’s great.” Jiang Yuebai chuckled, missing True Monarch Fuyi after so many years, not knowing where Ao Juan is either, wondering if they could rely on her.

Finally, Wenn Miao said, ”Everything in the Upper Realm differs from the Earth Spiritual Realm. Once you arrive there, keep a low profile, speak less, watch more, and learn from scratch. The Heavenly Interence Sect can’t help you much in the Upper Realm; you’ll have to rely on yourselves.”

The three nodded repeatedly, both eager and nervous.

Wenn Miao summoned the Cloud-Breaking Charge, transforming it to a ship’s size. The three exchanged glances, stepping into the Cloud-Breaking Charge one by one, with Wenn Miao entering last. She sealed the Cloud-Breaking Charge from the inside, using her Divine Sense to determine direction outside.

The Cloud-Breaking Charge transformed into a stream of light, piercing into the stellar void, swift as a startling swan.

Inside the empty Cloud-Breaking Charge, Wenn Miao took out a lantern, illuminating their tense faces.

Taking out a wine pot for a swig, Wenn Miao laughed, ”Don’t be nervous; with me navigating and the Cloud-Breaking Charge’s protection, unless you’re especially unlucky to encounter a battle between Void or Integration Great Powers, there won’t be major problems.”

”Then what if we do encounter it?” Xie Jingshan foolishly asked.

Jiang Yuebai glared, ”Xie Jingshan, shut up!”

Lu Nanzhi said calmly, ”Don’t worry, I’m confident we’ll be safe on this journey.”

Jiang Yuebai was about to cry, ”Anan, stop talking too. Can we just stay quiet? I’m scared!”

Wenn Miao chuckled, ”The Upper Realm isn’t bustling with Void and Integration Great Powers yet, so what’s to fear?”

Xie Jingshan was about to speak again when Jiang Yuebai kicked his leg. Hastily, Xie Jingshan gestured, signaling he wouldn’t speak anymore, he wouldn’t say anything.

The three each found a place to sit cross-legged, digesting Wenn Miao’s previous advice.

Leaning alone in a corner, Wenn Miao drank while guiding the Cloud-Breaking Charge swiftly towards the Dubhe Realm.

The journey was long; even with a Cloud-Breaking Charge, it took over ten days.

Seven or eight days later, while the trio was meditating, a violent tremor suddenly struck the Cloud-Breaking Charge, causing it to lose control and flip over. Caught off guard, they tumbled helplessly.

Wenn Miao, aghast, swiftly stabilized the Cloud-Breaking Charge, her Divine Sense probing outside. Her expression changed drastically.

”Oh no! Two Refining Void Great Powers are fighting ahead!”

Xie Jingshan: ........

”Xie Jingshan! I’ll kill you!!”
