Chapter 641 - 16 The Uniqueness of the World

Chapter 641: Chapter 16 The Uniqueness of the World

The situation in the Great Wilderness Realm very much aligns with what Subdue Evil mentioned, being a world currently undergoing the process of ’enlightenment’.

However, for various reasons, the ’Dao Courtyard people’ who were supposed to maintain a leading position to enlighten all beings, somehow merged into the local tiers for reasons unknown and exchanged blows back and forth with a group of natives, becoming part of them.

Perhaps it’s because of the Heavenly Demon, or maybe due to other accidents.

In any case, all of this will have to wait until I can contact Master next time.

"No wonder the ’Dao Courtyard’ has always been involved in expansion; indeed, there are great benefits."

And An Jing also understood why Dao Courtyard persisted in expanding and pioneering new worlds: "Whether it’s the new worlds themselves, the Daoist Rules of the new worlds, the entirely new Human Clan of the new worlds, or the ’uniqueness’ inherent to the new worlds themselves, they are all quite important resources."

"So, it means that each world actually has its own unique aspects, just like the current Huai Xu Realm’s Demonic Qi being inert, and even having Fate Pattern Martial Arts, right?"

"This difference is a bit more complex." Subdue Evil thought for a moment, offering a simpler explanation: "Some worlds are entirely water, and their Daoist Rules also make ’Water Spirits extremely active and mild’, so such a world naturally greatly enhances species like Flood Dragons and Leviathans, while some worlds are entirely Fierce Flames, where Vermilion Birds and Golden Crows feel extremely comfortable."

"Fate Pattern Martial Arts is the most complex type of ’uniqueness’ among these, and in all of my remaining memories, no world’s uniqueness is similar to Huai Xu’s specialty."

An Jing nodded: "And the worlds also repel each other, is this why I cannot stay long in the Tianyuan Realm?"

"In theory, Tianyuan and Huai Xu are fundamentally from the same family, our travel should have no restrictions, just like walking from one room of your house to another."

Subdue Evil pondered: "But you also know, both Huai Xu Realm and Tianyuan Realm’s Heaven and Earth Core are shattered, which is definitely not normal, so it’s quite natural that we can’t stay long."

This is a very reasonable explanation.

Gathering his thoughts, An Jing mused: "So, is that star map still useful?"

"It’s difficult; this thing needs constant updates and must be the latest version to function. The star maps in the information bank haven’t been updated in a long time; they’re probably useless now, especially since they are so high-level that we can’t even access them."

Subdue Evil looked quite pessimistic, but this does not mean the old star maps are completely useless: "However, if we have current observational data to compare, the old star maps can be modified into new ones, which is much simpler than making one from scratch."

"That’s still very valuable."

An Jing nodded slightly: "If we can obtain star maps of both Huai Xu Realm and Tianyuan Realm at the same time, we could use them to determine the ’distance’ between the two realms."

There is no distance in the Great Void, but this remains the most suitable term.

This time with high authority chips, An Jing gained a lot.

Although he didn’t gain much understanding about ’the current Tianyuan’, at least An Jing learned about some of the past of the Tianyuan Realm.

The four major groups, the ancient Seven Primordial Spirit Inheritances, built the underlying structure of the Tianyuan Realm.

Most of these inheritances are production and cultivation support institutions, resulting in this realm’s characteristic of adeptly using magic treasure formations, elixirs, and talismans to fend off evil demons.

Sometimes, to understand the present, you must grasp the past.

Moreover, one notable point about the Tianyuan Realm: although the existing four major groups have changed, they still reflect the initial inheritances without transformation, especially the manuscripts they possess, particularly those related to ’Dao Courtyard’, are absolutely numerous.

In contrast, after many great disasters in Huai Xu Realm, many Heavenly Ancestors have undergone numerous changes, except for Shangxuan Sect which always sits firmly in Central Continent; other continents’ Heavenly Ancestors have changed many times, and their various records have been lost or altered, no longer firsthand.

If An Jing needs any Daoist manuscripts from the Ancient Times, obtaining them from Tianyuan would be simpler than attempting to get them from Shangxuan Sect.

Besides, An Jing had another thought.

"The Shangxuan Sect and the inheritances of the Tianyuan Realm should have records of each other, right?"

The founder of Shangxuan Sect and the pioneers of the Tianyuan Realm both came from the Great Immortal of Huai Xu, maintaining strong tacit connections, and definitely aware of each other’s worlds’ existence.

Maybe, they also have some intelligence related to Subdue Evil.

But obtaining such high-level information is definitely not easy; although a direction has been found, how to implement it still requires preparation and waiting.

The conversation with Subdue Evil lasted only a few breaths.

When An Jing opened his eyes and completely stepped out from the Spiritual Network, half a day had already passed, Huo Qing was no longer in the private room, and Nian Quan was still resting.

He sat in place, sipping some overly brewed tea that had turned slightly bitter, sharpening his thoughts, compiling the various pieces of information he had gathered.

The eastern part of Xuanye City’s Haoling Ze, the southern part of Qingyu City’s Runlin Field, are the human forces’ granaries, guarded by two great Spiritual Vein Cities.

Xi Mountain and the great rift valley and mountains to the west of Xuanye are the sources of various spirit ores for human forces and also the main battlefields against various monsters/demons.

As for the rainforests by the sea to the south, they are the territories of Lianshan and those allied intelligent Demon Spirits.

The extent of human influence is just this, no wonder there’s always an intent to expand.

But expansion is indeed too challenging, with small returns, and civilian powers cannot be organized spontaneously, so it must be led by the large groups, incentivized by benefits.

The public information bank indeed has some content, but the details are scarce.

If he wants to understand the situation in Tianyuan Realm more thoroughly, details of exploration, current wilderness situations, he would have to look at local records like county annals — or perhaps finding some old-established families native to Huai Xu with a history, as they would definitely have records of many events from their perspective.

Just then, An Jing received a message from Huo Qing.

[An Jing, uncle and aunt need me for something, I need to go over to aunt’s studio, I’ve already paid the bill, you and Nian Quan rest first]

"Guiyi Army’s recent activities have been frequent; Huo Qing has been busy."

Seeing his friend’s message, An Jing felt concerned: "But do you want me to help? People here from Huo Qing’s side like to tough it out, I’m actually quite free; they really can call me for help."

Just then, An Jing felt a familiar aura approaching from outside the teahouse.

"Who is it?"

He looked outward, his gaze penetrating the walls, focused on the gradually approaching aura: "Not Huo Qing, not other acquaintances, but someone I recognize..."

Narrowing his eyes, before the other party could send a message, An Jing quickly discerned the true identity of the visitor: "Yan Chengju? The opponent from First Middle School at the Nianquan Special City Competition?"

—What is he doing here? Looking for his sworn enemy Nian Quan?

How did he know we were here? Following us? It doesn’t seem likely since we weren’t hiding our movements... But it’s just right.

An Jing smiled: "I was just thinking about whether there are any old-established native families of Huai Xu here, and now here comes one right away."
