Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 725 - 653: One-Line Sky Passage! [Thanks to the Alliance Hierarch ’CzLB’ for the reward!]

Beyond Three Mountains and Nine Waters,

Above the Nine Layers of Clouds,

There exists a realm called 'Spirit Domain'.

Within it lies a place known as 'Nine Nether Realm'.

This realm is vast and boundless,

Not confined to a single place or realm.

At its core lies a vast expanse of land stretching countless miles, surrounded by worlds like Three Mountains and Nine Waters, distinct yet unbroken, forming a formation akin to stars encircling the moon.

Such is the 'Spirit Domain'.

Stretching vertically and horizontally, ten such domains form a grand Spirit Domain, inhabited by countless immortals and true cultivators.

Among the many lower realms, it is also known as 'Immortal Realm'.

The difference is slight.

The Nine Nether Realm is one among them,

Encircled by 3,600 small worlds like stars.

As with the Mountain and Water Realm,

Here, cultivators who reach the Primordial Spirit Realm ascend guided by the hidden currents of spiritual energy.

Some are weaker,

Ascendable by cultivators reaching the Golden Core in the mortal realm.

Others are stronger,

Only ascendable by achieving True Immortal status.

...

"The Mountain and Water Realm ranks three hundred and eighty-first among the 3,624 small worlds in the Nine Nether Realm."

The Divine Wind Boat crosses the void, heading straight for the Nine Nether Realm.

Darkness surrounds,

Only the lights on the divine boat illuminate the way.

Meng Ba pilots the Divine Wind Boat, while Han Ling'er enthusiastically explains about the Spirit Domain, the Nine Nether Realm, and Three Mountains and Nine Waters to Lu Qingfeng.

Lu Qingfeng is relatively calm,

His other self had ascended earlier and was mostly familiar with the situation.

Still, learning that Three Mountains and Nine Waters ranked in the three to four hundreds among over three thousand worlds was somewhat surprising.

"Not even a single True Immortal, yet it ranks so high."

Lu Qingfeng thought, "It seems there's much exaggeration in these thousands of small worlds."

Qingyu, Qing Peak, and Lu Jing listened intently.

Hearing the rank of Three Mountains and Nine Waters, Lu Qingyu also expressed surprise: "With so many Primordial Spirits, it only ranks three hundred and eighty-first?!"

Their surprise was entirely at odds.

This is a matter of perspective.

Since her cultivation began, Lu Qingyu had always been in Three Mountains and Nine Waters,

Influenced by the idea that any Primordial Spirit Practitioner could ascend.

Yet, the actual rank of Three Mountains and Nine Waters among so many worlds momentarily confused her.

Han Ling'er, unfazed, explained, "In the Spirit Domain, while Primordial Spirit Practitioners are considered somewhat formidable, they are not rare. Only True Immortals are the true master that dominates a region. Three Mountains and Nine Waters struggles to produce True Immortals; its rank advantages from being closer to the Nine Nether Earth."

Listening, Lu Qingyu was astounded.

It was hard to imagine a Spirit Domain where even Primordial Spirits are of little consequence.

As for Lu Jing beside her, her eyes widened: "If Primordial Spirits are not notable, then what about Foundation Establishment cultivators—"

For a moment,

Their minds wandered, envisaging the splendors of the Spirit Domain.

Han Ling'er's demeanor towards Lu Qingfeng, different from her reverence towards Dutian Daoist.

Without waiting for Lu Qingfeng to ask further, seeing Lu Qingyu and Lu Jing's anticipation, she shared more about the wonders of the Spirit Domain.

This drew excited looks from everyone.

The Divine Wind Boat continues through the void,

Silent but for occasional gasps of amazement.

Days later,

The boat breaks through the darkness, arriving at a place resplendent with Spiritual Energy, fragrant with heavenly scents.

"Have we arrived?"

Their spirits lifted.

Then Han Ling'er declared loudly, "The 'Little Dragon Tiger Realm' has arrived."

...

Located in the southern territory of the Nine Nether Realm, there lies a region known as 'Little Dragon Tiger Realm'.

To the east is Dragon Pan Mountain, and to the west is Huju Mountain.

Both mountains house cultivators and immortals, thus the name.

Although Little Dragon Tiger Realm is just one region within the vast Nine Nether Territory, its scope is tremendous, far surpassing Three Mountains and Nine Waters.

Herein, several illustrious Immortal Mountains frequented by immortals are located,

Such as Danxia Mountain.

Such as Seven Extremes Mountain.

Such as Ningbi Cliff.

Such as Chi Lian Mountain.

Such as Little Cold Mountain, Nine Sun Ridge, and more.

Each legendary in its own right, home to renowned immortals and celebrated far and wide.

One-Line Sky Passage.

Is also one among them!

...

Sky-reaching Canyon, a unique spectacle of this world.

A sliver of blue sky, white clouds swiftly passing, cliffs rise precipitously, narrow and sinuous, creating a breathtaking view. Peaks, forests, springs, all seem divinely crafted.

Three Creeks and Six Valleyswhere springs boil and waterfalls fly, mountains and waters reflect each other, creating a dynamic tranquility, the peaks and forests complementing each other vividly, the cloud-capped peaks continuously transform, merging seamlessly.

The atmosphere is dense, submersing one into a transformative realm.

Eighteen Peaks, uniquely arrayed.

Cliffs turn into ravines, rocks rise into peaks, walls sharply cut, crevices marked by axe.

Sun Essence and Moon Light, a blending of heaven; soil supports water, a solid embrace of earth.

Truly a rare view of the Dragon and Tiger, a peerless wonder of the world.

...

"In the myriad spirit mountains of Little Dragon Tiger Realm, only our Heavenly Star sect is especially lively and spirited."

On the Divine Wind Boat,

Han Ling'er stands at the forefront, pointing toward a magnificent spiritual landscape ahead, her words soaring enthusiastically.

Meng Ba, beside her, just smiles without speaking.

Lu Qingfeng gazes at the mountains ahead,

Seeing the peaks in their majestic forms, each displaying its own character: some towering imposingly, others majestic and powerful, some gently joyous, others boldly resonant, standing proudly or tenderly embracing. A hundred peaks in diverse states, their essence and form united, their dynamism and stillness intertwined, reality and illusion blended, clouds and mists transforming, swallowing mountains and exhaling ranges, peaks undulating, and landscapes organically restructuring.

As if beyond the Nine Heavens, akin to the Turquoise Pool's Immortal Realm.

Indeed, a rare and splendid site.

Although far from comparing to the Yellow Wind Ridge in the Earth Immortal Realm, it possesses its own unique charm.

"Such a splendid mountain!"

Lu Qingfeng exclaimed appreciatively.

"Sister has good taste," Han Ling'er heard and her smile broadened.

Lu Qingyu, Lu Jing, and others looked ahead to their future cultivation site, seeing the lush mountains brimming with immortal energy, all of them bursting with joyful grins.

Traveling this far,

Of all the sights in Little Dragon Tiger Realm, this was indeed the best.

"Of course. Don't regard the Nine Sun Ridge of the Fire God Palace or Little Cold Mountain of the Ice and Snow Divine Palace as lesser known, but compared to Sky-reaching Canyon, they fall far short."
