Chapter 1176: Chapter 733: Primordial Celestial Realm

The Celestial Realm consists of Nine Heavens, Cyan Celestial, Azure Celestial, Profound Celestial, and the Lower Three Realms.

Complete Heaven, Yangtian, Primordial Heaven, and the Middle Three Realms.

Vast Heaven, Jun Heaven, Emperor Heaven, the Upper Three Realms.

Normally, cultivators from the Cyan Celestial Realm ascend into the Azure Celestial Realm. Accumulating cultivation and crossing tribulation, they enter the Profound Celestial Realm.

When cultivators pass the twenty-first heavenly tribulation, they can proceed to the Complete Heaven.

The higher the realm, the stronger and more abundant the primordial energy and spiritual qi.

Cultivators in the Lower Realm generally can only open the void connection by crossing tribulation to enter the Upper Realm.

Gao Xuan’s crossing tribulation is different; he has accumulated too much power, and lingering in the Lower Three Realms holds no meaning.

While ascending through tribulations, Gao Xuan triggered thunder tribulations consecutively upon entering the void, continuously opening pathways. After crossing the twenty-first thunder tribulation, he also opened the gateway to the Middle Three Realms.

Perhaps due to Gao Xuan’s overpowering strength, after crossing the thunder tribulation, the three heavens in the Middle Three Realms simultaneously opened their entrances to him.

Using his Ninth Consciousness and the spiritual sense of the Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada, Gao Xuan chose the entrance with the highest primordial qi level, which was the Primordial Celestial Realm.

According to various ancient texts, the Primordial Celestial Realm is very ancient, housing numerous treasures from ancient times. It is said that there are innate treasures hidden in the Primordial Celestial Realm.

The Primordial Celestial Realm has a long history, and naturally, there are many powerful cultivators, including several renowned Earth Immortals that are famous across the Celestial Realm.

Though large is the Celestial Realm, Earth Immortals are few. Every Earth Immortal is an extremely formidable being.

According to Gao Xuan’s understanding, Earth Immortals reigning over a region are similar to nations.

The might of Earth Immortals differs in size, and there can be significant gaps among them. However, there’s no Earth Immortal easy to provoke.

An Earth Immortal dominating a piece of land becomes the master of that territory. Even outsiders with strong cultivation may find it hard to gain anything.

The ancient Primordial Celestial Realm indeed has many notable Earth Immortals occupying regions, deploying all sorts of methods to confront celestial tribulations.

For Earth Immortals, ascending to the Upper Realm means leaving their old territory and facing even more powerful Celestial Immortals.

Most crucially, Celestial Immortals monopolize the Upper Three Realms and will not permit other Celestial Immortals to emerge. Any sane Earth Immortal would not consider crossing tribulation to ascend.

These secrets are recorded in various texts, indicating they are not mere rumors.

Fortunately, Earth Immortals can only rule a region; they have yet to monopolize the Middle Three Realms. This gives Gao Xuan an opportunity.

After the twenty-first tribulation thunder ended, Gao Xuan arrived in the Primordial Celestial Realm.

Upon exiting the void channel, Gao Xuan saw a vast sea of towering trees, the borders of which were not visible even to his keen sight.

These giant trees stood hundreds of zhang tall, with lush foliage, each leaf the size of a house.

The scorching sun hanging above the Nine Heavens is a hundred times larger than in the Cyan Celestial Realm.

A round, crimson-gold sun wheel hung in the sky, occupying a large portion of it.

Gao Xuan felt a bit dizzy after seeing the sun wheel, the direct golden sunlight was so intense, and the sun itself contained supreme laws that even the Celestial Dragon Eye could not bear.

He hurriedly withdrew his gaze, for the sun, moon, and stars manifest innate laws that even a Daluo Golden Immortal finds difficult to control, let alone a mere Human Immortal like him.

Gao Xuan calmly analyzed the changes in primordial qi within the Primordial Celestial Realm, discovering it was a hundred times denser than in the Cyan Celestial Realm, the void filled with vibrant life energy everywhere.

Thus, the trees here grow as towering as mountains. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

He casually tested a leaf and found them to be as tough as iron.

Ordinary trees are already like this, so it’s imaginable how many powerful life forms exist in this realm.

Being in the Primordial Celestial Realm, the most important task is to find a place to settle, especially avoiding stepping into dominions of Earth Immortals.

Gao Xuan isn’t afraid of ordinary Earth Immortals now, but fighting on another’s turf would likely not be beneficial.

Since Gao Xuan just entered the Primordial Celestial Realm, there’s no need to create trouble. First, it’s best to find a place to settle down, comprehend one or two Earth Immortal Laws, achieve Earth Immortal status, and then explore everywhere.

While pondering, Gao Xuan suddenly heard a strange cry. From the depths of the forest behind him, a large bird resembling an eagle but much larger than a fighter jet flew out.

This giant eagle had six claws and looked exceptionally fierce.

This place seemed to be the territory of the giant eagle; upon detecting a foreign invader, it immediately flew over to combat.

Gao Xuan’s eyes flashed with golden light, invoking the Taiyi Celestial Capital Soundless Thunder Sword.

The soundless Thunder Sword, invisible and shadowless, effortlessly sliced the giant eagle in half, the scattered thunder light exploding, blasting the shattered eagle into countless pieces.

The massive impact from the Thunder Sword also simultaneously smashed dozens of nearby giant trees.

For a moment, branches and leaves flew wildly, and countless creatures hidden among the giant trees suffered a terrible fate, many undoubtedly dying in the blast.

Gao Xuan did not mean to destroy; newly arrived in this realm, one must test their own power.

Upon a trial cut, Gao Xuan felt an enhancement of his own power, but simultaneously felt constrained by some aspects of the laws.

The subtle intricacies were not something to solve in an instant.

The thunderous roar of thunder power reverberated throughout the sea of trees; the resulting shock swept like a gale a hundred miles away.

Such a massive commotion attracted numerous giant birds, seemingly kin to the slain giant bird.

These giant birds had low intelligence; upon sighting Gao Xuan, they rushed toward him without hesitation.

Gao Xuan showed no mercy, using various magical spells and artifacts to annihilate the gathered hundreds of giant birds.

The forest within hundreds of miles was devastated, nature a mess.

Gao Xuan found it pleasing; the giant trees were too tall, each resembling a mountain, living amidst such forest could be oppressing.

Clearing an open area brings much more comfort.

He wasn’t randomly destroying; coincidentally, a small stream ran through this area, although to Gao Xuan, it resembled more of a large river.

Gao Xuan chose a spot with the best view, casting magic to erect three courtyards and planted large patches of green bamboo around.

These were exotic breeds cultivated by the Daoist Sect, quickly becoming a vast bamboo forest under Gao Xuan’s magic.

Gao Xuan arranged the area simply, then released Ripples and Ice Soul.

The two young women found themselves in a new realm where the qi was so dense, it felt uncomfortable.

Gao Xuan briefly explained the situation, and Ripples and Ice Soul realized they had arrived in the Primordial Celestial Realm.

Gao Xuan instructed Ripples and Ice Soul to explore the surroundings but not too far while he cultivated inside his room all day.

After slaying Ao Dongcheng, the power of the Blood Evil Thunder Dragon Pearl was fully absorbed by the Eternal Celestial Dragon Claw.

This power was not ordinary; dozens of powerful dragon race members and hundreds of thousands of cultivators, their divine soul essence blood, were condensed within this Blood Evil Thunder Dragon Pearl.

Had Ao Dongcheng’s mind not been eroded by the Blood Evil Qi of the Blood Evil Thunder Dragon Pearl, Gao Xuan stood hardly any chance of victory.

Purely comparing strength, Ao Dongcheng was much superior.

The Blood Evil Thunder Dragon Pearl contained formidable forces of Blood River Celestial Killing and Thunder Dragon.

The Blood River Celestial Killing aligned with eternal changes, and the Thunder Dragon’s Celestial Dragon Power suited the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon.

The pure thunder power within was extracted by Gao Xuan for the Celestial Dragon Eye.

Though divided into three, the power of the Blood Evil Thunder Dragon Pearl sufficed for Gao Xuan to elevate these two divine artifacts directly into powerful earth artifacts.

However, Gao Xuan didn’t wish to rush; instead, he aimed to comprehend all the law changes within, forming an Earth Immortal foundation.

In cultivation, time does not pass.

In closed-door training, Gao Xuan silently spent decades.

Ripples and Ice Soul gradually acclimated to the laws of the Primordial Celestial Realm, sweeping clear tens of thousands of miles nearby, slaying and driving away various demons and spirit beasts.

This realm had too many spiritual life forms; with Ripples and Ice Soul staying here, their presence continuously spread.

This vast Cloud Forest Sea actually belonged to someone, the owner being Shi Wanqiu, a mighty Demon Emperor.

The master of Cloud Forest Sea and Cloud Light Mountain Range.

Such a Demon Emperor like Shi Wanqiu typically doesn’t concern himself with ordinary cultivators. Yet he fancies beautiful human females and, upon hearing the rumors of two human beauties on his land, casually instructed his subordinate, the Golden Ape King, to fetch them.

The Golden Ape King, a Demon King himself, managed a portion of the Cloud Forest Sea. Being smart, he was right for this task.

The Golden Ape King didn’t think much of it; he knew there were two cultivators in the forest. Yet, managing the vast and endless forest, he had no time for two minor cultivators.

With Shi Wanqiu’s orders, the Golden Ape King remembered this matter and sent four Great Demons to capture the two women, instructing them to ensure live capture.

That day, while Gao Xuan sat in his room in meditation, he suddenly sensed something and spoke aloud to Ripples and Ice Soul: "A few unwelcome guests have arrived, let’s take a look..."
