Chapter 210 Entering the Heavenly Witch Demon Sect
Chapter 210 Entering the Heavenly Witch Demon Sect
For example, the Golden Turtle Divine Realm's influence can reach a radius of 50 million miles. Within this vast region, once a new divine realm appears, it will be instantly swallowed up by the Golden Turtle Divine Realm.
To avoid conflicts between divine realms, a long and wide buffer zone was specially set up between them.
Within this buffer zone, spiritual energy seemed to have quietly disappeared, making it no exaggeration to call it a desolate place.
Under normal circumstances, such conflicts between small divine realms, or even between medium-sized divine realms, are not particularly significant.
However, when it comes to the encounter between two large divine realms, the situation becomes extremely serious.
As the number of divine realms under the Golden Turtle Divine Realm continues to increase, its sphere of influence is also expanding.
Today, the entire Lingbao Dao Sect's divine domain encompasses a large-scale divine domain, a near-large divine domain that is about to be promoted to a large divine domain, as well as twelve medium-sized divine domains and hundreds of small divine domains.
Other equally vast divine realms are roughly the same size.
As the undisputed core of the Lingbao Divine Realm, the Golden Turtle Divine Realm, under its powerful integration, allows the auras of many divine realms to blend and complement each other, making the laws contained within it increasingly prosperous.
However, this very prosperity and immense power of the laws has resulted in the existence of a vast, boundless, and spiritless buffer zone spanning billions of kilometers between it and the neighboring divine realm.
Although this area is not entirely devoid of spiritual energy, its thinness is almost indistinguishable from having no spiritual energy at all.
Because the laws of the Divine Realm exhibit a clear duality, even for powerful beings who have reached the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal, it is extremely difficult to freely manipulate the power of the laws of heaven and earth.
Therefore, even a powerful Primordial Golden Immortal has a clear upper limit to the magical power they possess.
If they were in their own divine realm, they could integrate the laws they had comprehended into the divine realm, and then continuously draw energy from the divine realm to replenish their own needs.
However, once one steps outside the realm of their own deity, replenishing their magical power becomes extremely difficult.
Not to mention being in the near-spiritless buffer zone of the divine realm, where magical power can hardly be replenished in any effective way. As for arriving at the location of the Heavenly Witch Demon Sect, the situation was even worse; trying to replenish magical power was simply a pipe dream.
For these reasons, Zhao Gongming and the other three did not bring their disciples with them on this trip, but chose to travel alone.
Furthermore, in order to minimize the loss of magical energy, the five of them always used a low-energy flight mode throughout the journey, which is why the entire trip took a full hundred years.
The journey was fraught with danger and peril!
These regions are home to countless ferocious beasts. They lurk in the shadows, waiting for their chance to strike, making them impossible to guard against.
Even more chilling is that these strange beasts originating from underground water veins often suddenly burst out of the ground to hunt.
These beasts from underground water veins possess extremely outstanding bloodline inheritances, with their bloodline levels reaching at least the Chaos level.
Moreover, they can only thrive in the deep, dark underground water veins when they exist in large groups.
It is worth mentioning that these bloodline beasts, especially the newly born cubs and the unhatched beast eggs, are extremely valuable and sought-after items for the Heavenly Witch Demon Sect, and can be considered as hard currency.
Interestingly, in those already well-developed divine realms, there are guardians who integrate the power of the divine realm.
For this reason, in such a mature divine realm, it is extremely rare for underground water vein beasts to suddenly emerge from the ground to hunt.
It is precisely because of this relatively stable and safe environment that it becomes extremely difficult for a mature divine realm to give birth to a new divine realm.
Take the Fire Crow Sect's divine domain, which Luo Xuan controls, for example. It was originally located in a spiritless buffer zone between the Spirit Treasure Divine Domain and the Destruction Divine Domain.
This area is devoid of any spiritual energy; it can be described as a truly desolate wasteland.
After all, as a buffer zone between the two super divine realms of Creation and Destruction, this place naturally cannot gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to form a new divine realm.
It is important to know that it was those strange beasts, each with its own unique form and formidable strength, that lurked in the underground water veins that successfully carved out these primordial river channels.
It is precisely because of this that the mysterious and unpredictable water veins hidden deep underground have the opportunity to slowly flow along these waterways to the surface of the earth.
These original river channels, given the right opportunity, could potentially evolve into new divine realms.
The five traveled onward, keeping an eye on their surroundings. If they spotted any strange beasts lurking in the underground water veins, they would not hesitate to launch a hunting operation.
Because they were distracted by hunting the whole way, the five people's progress became extremely slow.
Moreover, on their journey, they unexpectedly encountered a small divine realm that was still in its nascent stage.
The five of them acted decisively, employing a unique method to absorb all the immense energy contained within this small divine realm, using it as nourishment to replenish their magical power.
It is worth mentioning that even the magical power of a Primordial Golden Immortal has certain limits.
Of course, this so-called "limit" is actually very high.
Generally speaking, a Primordial Golden Immortal can accumulate magical power almost without limit. However, this magical power is not generated out of thin air, but needs to be carefully refined and stored beforehand.
Moreover, if one unfortunately encounters a fatal disaster, all the magical power that one has painstakingly accumulated will instantly vanish, and everything will have to start all over again from scratch.
This is why many Grand Immortals often face the embarrassing situation of lacking magical power.
However, Zhao Gongming and the other three were completely different.
Since they successfully cultivated to become Great Luo Golden Immortals, they have never experienced death, so the magical power they have accumulated can be described as extremely powerful.
As for Luo Xuan, because he has long insisted on using the laws to temper his body, over time, his physical strength has reached an astonishing level.
After Zhao Xuan successfully took over his identity, he helped him cultivate to the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal, and then further strengthened his physical body.
At this moment, Zhao Xuan's physical strength was already comparable to that of a mythical beast at the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal.
Many things that require magical power to accomplish can be easily achieved by him using only his physical body. In this way, he can effectively conserve a large amount of precious magical resources.
However, Zhao Gongming and his companions were completely unaware of this.
Seeing that Zhao Xuan had just broken through to a new realm, they naturally assumed that he had not yet accumulated enough magical power. Therefore, they deliberately slowed down and reduced their speed when moving to reduce the consumption of magical power.
That's why the whole team moved so slowly.
Just as Zhao Xuan and the other four were about to enter the Heavenly Witch Demon Sect, Zhao Gongming took out two talismans from his pocket and handed them to Zhao Xuan.
One is a repositioning talisman, and the other is a teleportation talisman.
The teleportation talisman was personally crafted by Daoist Lingbao.
This talisman contains boundless and mysterious power. Once activated, it can allow the holder to instantly traverse vast distances, making it a truly invaluable treasure.
However, the breathing talisman was not made by Lingbao Daojun, but was carefully crafted by Tianwu Daozun.
It should be understood that for ordinary people, recklessly trespassing into the divine realm of the Heavenly Witch Demon Sect is tantamount to courting death.
Therefore, the Heavenly Witch Daoist specially crafted a certain number of Simulation Talismans and spread them to the outside world.
As the name suggests, the greatest function of this Simulation Talisman is to simulate various different auras, thereby helping the user to cleverly conceal their whereabouts and aura, and avoid being detected by others.
Once the Breath-Imitation Talisman is cast, cultivators from other realms who step into the Heavenly Witch Demon Sect's divine domain will experience a rapid change in their unique aura, as if enveloped by a magical power.
This power can cleverly mimic the aura of these cultivators as that of disciples within the Heavenly Witch Demon Sect, making it difficult for outsiders to detect their true identities as outsiders.
The teleportation talisman possesses the astonishing ability to traverse space.
It should be understood that the Heavenly Witch Demon Sect is an extremely dangerous place for cultivators from other regions, so the personnel sent in by various forces would never be alone.
However, once they successfully enter the Heavenly Witch Demon Sect, they will face a thorny problem—everyone will be randomly teleported to a specific area within the Divine Realm.
In this way, if the group is unfortunately separated, it will be difficult for them to support each other and cooperate in their operations, and the margin for error will become extremely low.
In light of this situation, the domain lords of various forces began to refine special teleportation talismans.
The purpose of these teleportation runes is to bring members of their respective factions back together to enhance overall strength and improve their ability to respond to crises.
The crafting of such teleportation talismans is no easy task. It requires not only the personal involvement of the domain lords of various forces, but also the mobilization of the sect's profound resources to complete.
Take, for example, the teleportation talisman that Zhao Gongming gave to Zhao Xuan. It was crafted by the combined efforts of Lingbao Daojun and Qingping Daozun, drawing upon the immense and boundless power of the entire Golden Turtle Boundless Divine Array.
One can imagine the astonishing energy and mysteries contained within this teleportation talisman.
The process of crafting a teleportation talisman is extremely complex and difficult. It not only requires a large amount of rare materials, but also demands that the crafter possess unfathomable skills and cultivation.
For this reason, it is extremely rare and precious, and only those highly valued disciples who are regarded as the core strength of the sect are qualified to obtain a certain share.
Even the seven immortal attendants would find it difficult to obtain such a treasure.
Since the true disciples bear the important mission of frequently representing the Lingbao Divine Realm on visits to other divine realms, it is only natural that they would possess such items.
The four outer disciples, who were on equal footing with the true disciples, naturally also had their own share of the distribution.
Although everyone held teleportation talismans, they did not rush to gather together at the beginning out of caution.
Instead, everyone will choose to explore this unfamiliar territory on their own first.
The five people, including Zhao Xuan, all used the Simulation Talisman. As the talisman took effect, the originally strong aura on their bodies changed drastically.
Only when their auras were completely synchronized with the Heavenly Witch God Realm did they cautiously step into this mysterious divine realm.
Upon entering the Heavenly Witch God Realm, an ancient and mysterious aura surged forth like a tide, inspiring awe in all who beheld it.
Looking around, the landscape here is incredibly strange: towering mountains resemble the spines of enormous monsters, winding and twisting; rushing rivers shimmer with a cold, eerie light, as if hiding endless secrets.
Zhao Xuan was teleported to a secluded valley.
The valley was shrouded in thick fog, which greatly limited visibility, allowing people to barely see what was happening within a few feet of their surroundings.
At the same time, a series of low, rumbling sounds emanating from the depths of the earth could be heard intermittently, sending chills down one's spine.
Just then, without warning, a huge, python-like beast with wings suddenly burst out of the thick fog, baring its fangs and claws as it pounced straight at Zhao Xuan.
Faced with this sudden attack, Zhao Xuan reacted with lightning speed. He moved swiftly, dodging the beast's fierce attack like a ghost.
Immediately afterward, he unleashed his immense physical strength, forcefully withstanding the beast's full-force attack. Then, he followed up with a powerful punch, slamming it down on the beast with overwhelming force.
In an instant, the wind howled from the punch, and the energy surged forth...
The beast was as large as a mountain, exuding a terrifying aura that made people's hearts tremble. Its power was so strong that it had reached the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal.
Although Zhao Xuan possessed astonishing physical strength, he still found the beast quite troublesome, knowing that physical strength alone was insufficient to defeat it.
Just then, the beast suddenly swung its thick and long tail, and a whooshing sound was heard, as if a gale had swept through.
Immediately following was a loud bang, and the huge rocks around were instantly pulverized, turning into dust that filled the sky.
Seeing this, Zhao Xuan dared not be negligent in the slightest.
He immediately mobilized the vast power of the laws within his body, and in an instant, a faint golden light emanated from the surface of his body.
Compared to the massive visualization images behind other cultivators, the Heavenly Destiny Dao God has a unique advantage in hiding within the Heavenly Witch Demon Sect.
After all, cultivators of the Heavenly Witch Demon Sect integrate their Dharma forms into their physical bodies, so they don't actually have Dharma forms.
Therefore, as long as Zhao Xuan doesn't blindly amplify and expose his Heavenly Mandate God, almost no one will be able to detect his true nature.
