Chapter 880: Chapter 731: Floating Islands in the Sky, The Shattered Thirty-Three Heavens Overlook All Beings

"So it is a predecessor from Taiching," the senior said, his voice trailing off.

Once the other party confirmed that there was no mistake, they respectfully returned the items while giving their greetings.

Wang Zijia didn’t wait for them to finish speaking, he beckoned and took the items back, then shot up into the sky. He was indeed in a hurry; the Seven Orifices Dual World Flower was too difficult to obtain, and he was very eager to get it!

...

After leaving Southward City, Wang Zijia subconsciously looked up to the sky.

At the end of his gaze was not just the sky, but also numerous floating islands of varying sizes that housed various floating cities.

Among the exotic flowers and rare herbs, immortal cranes danced, and spirit springs chimed; glimpses of misty jade palaces and fairyland buildings could be seen, presenting an immortal family’s atmosphere.

This was just the edge of the Central Immortal Domain. In the center of the Immortal Domain, that is, in the sky above the center of the Shen Zhou Continent, lay several vast floating continents surrounded by star-like worlds that adorned these lands.

It is said that before the Fourth Epoch, the area above the nine heavens of the magnificent Shen Hong was filled with countless floating islands, and the various branches of the Dao Court dwelled upon them.

They overlooked all living beings like Immortal Venerates, truly worthy of being called the Immortal Realm!

Unfortunately, the world later shattered, and the surrounding four domains were damaged to varying extents, causing various changes and causing all the floating islands to fall.

Now, only the Central Immortal Domain still retains some of the celestial atmosphere of the ancient geography.

This is also one of the reasons why the other domains are marked as remote and barbaric lands.

It could be said that everywhere in the Central Immortal Domain surpasses the other domains by far!

In the Central Immortal Domain, on the Shen Zhou earth below, mostly mortals and low-level factions live.

Second-class and above Taoist School forces all have their own floating cities and island groups, residing all year round in what is called the Heavenly Palace, lying high above the nine heavens, overlooking all living beings, and truly deserving of being called immortals of the Immortal Realm!

Wang Zijia’s pupils flickered with golden light as he gazed at the countless floating islands above the nine heavens, slightly losing himself for a moment before snapping back to reality.

’The Central Divine Continent, huh? No wonder, compared to the Central Immortal Domain, the East Wilderness and South Spirit are indeed remote and wild!’

Feeling the rich spiritual energy environment of a second grade spiritual vein even in Southward City at the edge of the domain, Wang Zijia’s thoughts turned.

After a moment, Wang Zijia collected his complicated thoughts.

After a brief contemplation, several Demon Seeders emerged, and Wang Zijia put away his magic-driven chariot.

The Blood-Red Book, carrying his Primordial Spirit, drilled into the Chaotic Sea of Knowledge and his figure disappeared from the spot.

...

In the center of the Central Immortal Domain, high above the Shen Zhou earth, at the core of the Sky Floating Island Group.

Here lay several enormous floating continents, the three largest of which stood out.

Around them, countless small floating islands drifted and revolved. Above the continents, world light orbs adorned the lands like stars.

Looking down, one could see various floating islands of all sizes, abundant in number, drifting in the sky, the largest like continents, the smallest only a few kilometers in circumference, seeming like layers upon layers of worlds!

In ancient times, the Dao Court’s various branches occupied the largest floating continents.

The monks referred to these as the Heavenly Palaces of the Immortal Realm, the heavens beyond the heavens of the Immortal Realm, and above the Thirty-three Heavens was the headquarters of the Dao Court!

But now, such grandeur no longer exists.

...

Among the highest three continents, one belongs to Taiching Palace, the Ancestral Courtyard of Taiching!

The many floating islands that revolve around the Continent of Taiching, whether they are Taiching’s subordinate forces or affiliated families.

The world stars above the Continent of Taiching are the various worlds under Taiching’s domain!

Combined with the branches of the Taiching Palace in other Immortal Domains, they together constitute the current Divine Rainbow Taiching lineage!

A standard Immortal Realm Holy Land, superior first-class forces!

...

On the edge of the floating island group belonging to Taiching Palace, there is a moderately sized floating island: the Nine Bends Floating Island.

On it, there is only one city: Nine Bends Floating City.

Although still under the jurisdiction of Taiching Palace and officially managed by them, none of their forces are allowed to occupy it, and not all living in the city are Taiching disciples or affiliated lineages.

Instead, it is home to all sorts of people from all walks of the Central Immortal Domain, including monks from the Shen Zhou earth below; as long as they are qualified, they can survive here.

This has led to people wanting to join Taiching Palace halfway flocking here, making this place extremely prosperous.

Of course, the cost of living here is also very high.

However, most who come here are already somewhat successful in their cultivation, so it is presumed that the majority do not lack this small amount of money.

Well, that is, unless they plan to set up properties here.

And the native low-level monks born in the city thus have a space for survival as errand runners, forming a complete Xianxia city ecosystem, making it extremely prosperous.

The ethereal immortal energy is like that from above the nine heavens, yet the low-level native monks still struggle to survive, adding a touch of punk.

...

In the core area of the eastern part of Nine Bends, in a still elegant big courtyard, Zhu Qi and Yao Wenxuan are currently engaging in tea and philosophical discussion.

After discussing for most of the day, Yao Wenxuan asked while drinking tea, "Fellow Daoist Zhu, how much longer until the Immortal Venerate arrives?"

Zhu Qi replied, "He should arrive within the next day or two. Why, are you in a hurry, Fellow Daoist Yao?"

Yao Wenxuan shook his head, set down the teacup in his hand, and said, "It’s not that I’m in a rush. You also know about the situation with the Deng family, I’m afraid if we delay it might change, and eventually lead to the loss of that Seven Apertures Clearing Pill."

"This time they took the initiative to come to us. If we really lose it, it will be very difficult to find another later on."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qi also put down her teacup and explained, "I understand this, and our master is also on his way. But as you know, there are no trade routes left from Spirit Suppressing to the Central Immortal Domain, not to mention a void array."

"We can only travel by Immortal Shelf, which will take at least seven or eight days!"

"Ah! I hope it will be quick. You know my luck isn’t very good. Since the Deng family has come to me on their own, it means that those damned incidents in their clan have reached a certain degree," Yao Wenxuan responded.

’Not just a certain degree, more like sooner or later done for.’

Zhu Qi had some twitches in her heart. Ever since Wang Zijia told her about Yao Wenxuan’s situation, she had been paying close attention to him for the past six months.

Don’t think that it’s only been half a year since Yao Wenxuan arrived in the Central Immortal Domain; his life has been quite spectacular.

Upon his initial entry to Taiching, he was approached by a family. Eventually, the family’s dying patriarch wanted to seize his body, but for some reason it failed.

In the end, when the incident was exposed, a big melee broke out, causing heavy casualties.

After that, the family was punished by Taiching, and the clan was thoroughly ruined.

However, Yao Wenxuan ended up benefiting a lot from this, with compensations from the sect, reparations from the family, and so on.

The family purely became a stepping stone, contributing to his cultivation!

Yao Wenxuan also gained exposure through this and entered the high-level view, stepping into the Core Area of Taiching Palace.

What followed was even more outrageous!

Several favored daughters of heaven got involved with him for no apparent reason, and then he started clashing with some of his sect fellows because of it...

Anyway, in less than a year at Taiching Palace, Yao Wenxuan’s life has been as exciting as her millennium.

After having a rough understanding of Yao Wenxuan’s situation,

If it weren’t for Wang Zijia’s reminder, Zhu Qi might still think that Yao Wenxuan is just too outstanding, envied and coveted wherever he goes.

But now... he’s simply a walking disaster!

A star of death by celestial misfortune!!!

...

As her thoughts whipped through her mind, Zhu Qi was about to speak when both of their expressions suddenly froze, and they simultaneously looked to one side.

Within the Pavilion, not far from Zhu Qi, the figure of Wang Zijia suddenly appeared, followed by Lei Ting.

Both were stunned for a moment, then rose to their feet and bowed to Wang Zijia.

"Greetings, Master!"

"Seen the Immortal Venerate!"

Wang Zijia first glanced at Zhu Qi and then turned her attention to Yao Wenxuan.

After more than half a year, this fellow had undergone considerable changes.

He had lost some of his greenness and the awkwardness of someone not used to socializing, and gained more composure, calmness, as well as some of the aura typical of those in higher positions.

Becoming an immortal through the Supreme Fruit Position certainly changed his status significantly.

"I’m just someone who’s crossed the tribulation, you’ve become an immortal, and you’re still calling me ’Immortal Venerate’? Shouldn’t I be the one calling you ’senior’?" Wang Zijia said with a smile after sizing him up.

Yao Wenxuan immediately responded, "Immortal Venerate, please don’t joke with me. I don’t have the power to fight against an extraterritorial Heavenly Immortal level main god head-on. Besides..."

Zhu Qi only then noticed Lei Ting, the bodyguard-like figure, and was dumbstuck to find that he was actually a Heavenly Immortal.

"Master, who is this...?"

"This is Lei Ting, someone I dug up from the ground recently, an old Daoist Boy of mine, so he’s also your Senior Brother," Wang Zijia explained.

Yao Wenxuan heard this and showed no reaction; after all, Old Ghost Tong had already told him that this Immortal Venerate was a super old monster.

If Old Ghost could be wary of him like that, seeing a Heavenly Immortal Dao Boy would not surprise him, let alone a Profound Immortal Dao Boy.

Zhu Qi, however, was somewhat stunned, and subconsciously bowed to Lei Ting, saying, "I’ve seen Senior Brother Lei Ting!"

Lei Ting, standing beside Wang Zijia, just gave Zhu Qi a fleeting glance, before focusing his attention back on Wang Zijia.

Seeing this, Zhu Qi looked a bit stiff.

Wang Zijia said indifferently, "During the End of Dharma, all above the Immortal decayed, including your Senior Brother Lei Ting. Before my reincarnation, I used some methods to preserve his life, but he suffered significant side effects. You don’t need to mind it."

"Oh!" Zhu Qi suddenly realized.

’Be careful. That guy has an aura of Mad God, and is in fact a Mad God. Although his Space-time Path methods are cleverly hidden, in the past I considered pretending to be a Mad God to survive, so I’m definitely not mistaken,’ the voice of Old Ghost Tong echoed in Yao Wenxuan’s mind, making him look at Lei Ting more closely.

...

As they talked, they were seated.

Zhu Qi, like a maid, personally served tea to Wang Zijia and tended to her, still very much like a disciple, without any change.

Yao Wenxuan wasn’t surprised by this and was also very respectful.

Even though Wang Zijia had just crossed tribulation, everyone seated knew well that she was a super old monster pretending to be young.
