Chapter 96 Chapter 96: The past of Taicang World, the Nine Realms are only a part of it!

Qianyuan Sect, Yuanji Mountain.

A gentle breeze blew across the mountain top. Inside the stone pavilion, Patriarch Tianyang and Meng Chen sat opposite each other. Two cups of spiritual tea were placed in front of them. The steam was rising, and the fragrance of the tea filled the air, lingering in the stone pavilion.

Patriarch Tianyang picked up the spiritual tea, took a sip, put down the teacup, looked at Meng Chen, his eyes full of satisfaction, and sighed:
"It seems that I, an old man, have underestimated your talent. A 19-year-old Divine Incarnation expert is a unique existence even in the upper three regions where geniuses gather."

When mentioning the upper three realms, a hint of gloom appeared in the depths of Patriarch Tianyang's eyes, as well as a barely perceptible resentment.

Meng Chen keenly noticed the resentment in the old ancestor's eyes, and recalled that according to the records of Qianyuan Sect, the old ancestor had been to the upper three realms a hundred years ago and returned injured.

It seems that the ancestor has been wronged in the upper three realms.

Thinking of this, Meng Chen calmly picked up the spiritual tea, took a sip, and asked:
"Old man, how much do you know about the Upper Three Realms? Can you tell me about it?"

"The upper three realms are full of geniuses and evildoers. Nascent Souls are worse than dogs, and the ground is full of Incarnations. Only those who have reached the Refining Void stage can be called masters. If you want to gain a foothold in the upper three realms, you must be at the Hedao stage."

Patriarch Tianyang expressed his views on the upper three realms. Even though he had reached the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, in the upper three realms, he was nothing compared to those immortal dynasties and holy sects.

Hearing this, Meng Chen continued to ask: "Old man, the upper three domains are so powerful, why have I never seen any upper domain cultivators coming to Cangxuan Domain?"

Since there are so many geniuses in the Upper Domain, then why were there no cultivators from the Upper Domain participating when the Tianhuang Realm was opened before?

Even if they don't know that there is a Mahayana Immortal's inheritance in the Tianhuang Realm, they will still think that the Tianhuang inheritance is not simple.

Patriarch Tianyang said calmly: "It's very simple, they can't come. There are forbidden boundaries between the domains set by the former domain masters."

"Forbidden territory rules?"

Meng Chen showed a hint of surprise when he heard this. It was the first time he heard such a saying between domains.

Moreover, who is this Domain Lord? A Hedao Lord? Or a Supreme Lord who controls a domain?

Seeing Meng Chen's confusion, Patriarch Tianyang patiently explained to him some secrets that were not available in the lower three realms, which he had seen in some ancient books when he was traveling in the upper three realms.

In the distant ancient times, the Taicang world was not actually divided into nine domains, nor did it have thirteen heavens. Instead, it was a complete continent, stretching billions of kilometers from north to south, with thousands of races standing side by side, and heroes vying for supremacy, making it extremely powerful.

At that time, the final destination of the cultivators was not the Mahayana stage, and even if they cultivated to the celestial immortal or profound immortal stage, it would not be a problem.

Until the other big world launched a world war against the Taicang world that lasted for ten thousand years.

Although the Taicang World won in the end, it also paid a heavy price.

Not only did all the immortal-level powerful ones die, but even the three golden immortal ancestors, one died and two were seriously injured.

Even under the self-destruction of the Golden Immortal Ancestor of another big world, the Taicang Continent collapsed and turned into countless fragments.

A gigantic hole was blasted in the boundary wall, causing a large amount of chaotic energy to flow back into the boundary, making the already broken Taicang world even worse.

In the end, a Golden Immortal ancestor of the Taicang World sacrificed his body to form the Thirteen Heavenly Realms and complete the boundary wall. Another seriously injured Golden Immortal re-melted the continental fragments that were not melted by the chaotic energy and formed four major domains.

Before falling asleep, the Golden Immortal Ancestor appointed his four disciples as Domain Lords, giving them control over the four domains.

"Ancestor, aren't we the Nine Realms?"

When Meng Chen heard that there were four major domains, he became confused. Wasn’t there nine domains?

Patriarch Tianyang took a sip of tea and continued: “There used to be four major domains, but unfortunately, the ancestor fell asleep, and the four domain masters fought for power. When the four major domains had just recovered a little, they started a war between the domains, causing the four major domains that the Golden Immortal ancestor had worked so hard to refine to be shattered again.” After the four major domains were shattered, the domain masters suddenly realized their mistakes, and in order to make up for their mistakes, they tried their best to repair the broken four domains.

Fortunately, timely remediation was carried out. Although the four domains were broken, they were also transformed into more spiritual domains.

In order to avoid conflicts between domains, the domain masters set up forbidden boundaries for all spiritual domains. No cultivator can go to other spiritual domains unless they have a domain order granted by the domain master.

Later, the four domain masters went to the sleeping place of the Golden Immortal Ancestor and took the initiative to confess their crimes and accept punishment.

But what Tianyang Patriarch said made Meng Chen even more confused. A group of spiritual realms? Does this "a group" refer to the nine realms?

Seeing his doubts, Patriarch Tianyang shook his head.

"Cangxuan, Shaxie, and Beihuang are actually one domain. The reason why they were divided into three domains is that after the domain masters left, three peerless masters emerged. They divided the spiritual domain we are in, each occupying one-third, thus forming three domains."

"As for the division of the nine realms, it is just the division of the realms formed by the exchanges and comparisons between the realms that our ancestors have visited and the people from other realms who have come to our place."

"In fact, there are many spiritual realms in the Taicang World. I don't know the exact number, and perhaps only the Tianji Pavilion knows the exact number of spiritual realms."

After listening to this, Meng Chen roughly understood.

The so-called upper three domains, middle three domains, and lower three domains are not the real spiritual domain planning of the Taicang World, but just the divisions among the several major spiritual domains.

The vastness of the Taicang world is far from as simple as Meng Chen imagined.

"Ancestor, so the powerful gods who disappeared in our spiritual realm all used the domain order to go to other spiritual realms?"

Meng Chen thought of what Lin Jingshu had mentioned before, that those ancestors who had achieved the state of spiritual enlightenment in Qingdi City had all gone to other spiritual realms. So, were they like Patriarch Tianyang, also using domain orders to go to other spiritual realms?

Patriarch Tianyang shook his head, a trace of complacency on his face, and said: "Do you think everyone has such good luck as me, the ancestor, who has a domain order? Those guys swam across from the Chaos Sea by themselves."

Meng Chen: "Chaos Sea?"

"There are not only forbidden boundaries between the spirit realms, but also the Chaos Sea, which is a magic sea formed by the residual chaotic energy in ancient times."

"If you want to go to other spiritual realms without a domain order, you can cross the Chaos Sea. However, the Chaos Sea is not so easy to cross. If you are not careful, not to mention the incarnation of the spirit, even a master of the unity of the Tao will perish."

Speaking of the Chaos Sea, a hint of fear flashed in Patriarch Tianyang's eyes.

He had also thought about crossing the Chaos Sea and going to other spiritual realms.

But he encountered a chaotic tide on the way, and after exhausting all his means, he barely managed to save his life. He was lucky enough to pick up a domain order on an island, and then he went to the upper three domains.

After gaining so much world knowledge all at once, Meng Chen suddenly felt that his strength was still too weak.

A Divine Transformation cultivator can still act with power and authority in the Cang Xuan Spiritual Realm, but when he goes to other spiritual realms, he is nothing.

No! He needed to improve his strength as quickly as possible, lest someday a cultivator from the upper realm cross the Chaos Sea or teleport here using a domain command.
