"So, it’s about clearing away the rotten bones," Shi Mingcheng said.

Ruan Qin secretly sat in the Sī Xuán Underground Palace, naturally also for the reason of overseeing the foundations of South Xia. Qi Country won’t apply pressure on Chu Country openly, but can’t be completely at ease with the newly conquered Xia Territory.

"Two lords," Jiang Wang asked when he didn’t understand, "I’ve been to Under Jixuegong for cultivation and know about Mugu’s Eardemi, but what’s the difference between them and the Sī Xuán Underground Palace?"

"As for differences, they are all Cave Heavens. In terms of differences, they are not on the same level at all," Su Guanying said with a smile. "The predecessor of the Sī Xuán Underground Palace was the Heavenly Pillar Sī Xuán Heaven, ranking fourteenth among the Thirty-six Minor Cave Heavens. Generations of management in Summer Country have resulted in today’s Sī Xuán Underground Palace."

Blessed Land... Cave Heaven!

Jiang Wang suddenly felt enlightened and understood many things.

Su Guanying continued, "Our Under Jixuegong inherits the Sun Palace from the Former Juyang Empire. Its predecessor was the Golden Altar Huayang Heaven, ranking eighth among the Ten Great Cave Heavens. The Former Juyang Imperial Clan managed it for a thousand years to form the Sun Palace, which was later destroyed by war. When Qi Country rose, Martial Emperor restored it, making it even better than before, hence today’s Under Jixuegong." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Shi Mingcheng also said, "The predecessor of Eardemi was the Left God Youxu Heaven, ranking ninth among the Ten Great Cave Heavens. It was obviously born of heaven and earth, a place of seeking truth, yet the God of Cangtu claimed its glory, speaking of the wisdom of the gods. Ha-ha!"

"Commander, watch your words," Su Guanying said softly. "In the current world situation, we are friends, not enemies with Mugu, and must maintain respect for their supreme spirits."

"Ha! Who knows if He is alive or dead now," Shi Mingcheng replied with indifference. "Heavenly Shepherd is resourceful; I greatly admire her."

The Ten Great Cave Heavens are certainly far above the Thirty-six Minor Cave Heavens; it’s no wonder Su Guanying says that Sī Xuán Underground Palace and Under Jixuegong are not on the same level.

However, what are the specific distinctions between Minor Cave Heavens, Blessed Lands, and Cave Heavens?

Although Jiang Wang studied at Under Jixuegong, he still couldn’t say he understands it well.

At this moment, he just frowned slightly, "Then what about the seventy-two Blessed Lands in the Taixu Illusion Realm? As both of you said, the Ten Great Cave Heavens, Thirty-six Minor Cave Heavens, Seventy-two Blessed Lands, all are naturally born pursuits of truth. Has the Taixu Sect become so powerful that it monopolizes seventy-two Blessed Lands? Or did everyone contribute their own Blessed Lands when establishing the Taixu Illusion Realm?"

"With a Blessed Land in hand, who would let it go easily?" Shi Mingcheng sighed, "Speaking of this, I really admire Xu Yuanzhi. That old man is truly respectable, genuinely caring for the world, without private thoughts."

"I don’t understand the ancestral master of the Taixu Sect," Jiang Wang said. "How do you say that?"

Shi Mingcheng said, "The value of Cave Heavens is far above Blessed Lands, not just a hundredfold. Xu Yuanzhi promoted the Taixu Illusion Realm by contributing the Taixu Pavilion of the Taixu Sect, allocating a fixed share to the owners of the seventy-two Blessed Lands, thus obtaining these Blessed Lands. If it weren’t profitable, who would let go of their Blessed Land?"

"The predecessor of the Taixu Pavilion was the True Void Heaven, ranked twenty-third among the Thirty-six Minor Cave Heavens. The Taixu Sect managed it very well, not inferior to the front ranks. Xu Yuanzhi contributed it, which can be considered a heart-wrenching offering, causing several elders of the Taixu Sect to defect! Because he exchanged Cave Heaven for Blessed Land, many forces competed for Blessed Land at high prices to participate in the allocation of the Taixu Pavilion, showing its value.

What Xu Yuanzhi sought was merely to enhance the appeal of the Taixu Illusion Realm to godly cultivators with the seventy-two Blessed Lands, to accelerate the growth of the Taixu Illusion Realm."

"But it seems not very ideal in reality?" Jiang Wang asked.

Shi Mingcheng said, "Nothing can be achieved overnight, especially revolutionary things like the Taixu Illusion Realm. The unfortunate part is... Xu Yuanzhi, despite bearing pressure from all sides and making huge sacrifices, obtained the seventy-two Blessed Lands to join the Taixu Illusion Realm system, but at that time, couldn’t pass resolutions with various parties, locking down the Taixu Illusion Realm’s information for a long time, only open in limited scope. So his True Void Heaven was almost exchanged in vain."

"Isn’t it gradually opening now?" Su Guanying said. "Sometimes, moving too fast isn’t necessarily good. For matters that might revolutionize an era and benefit the present, I think utmost caution is never too much."

Clearly, regarding the Taixu Illusion Realm, Shi Mingcheng’s attitude is supportive, while Su Guanying’s attitude is relatively cautious.

Even within Qi Country, there are varying attitudes towards the Taixu Illusion Realm. Across the world, there must be more divergent opinions.

The real resistance is so immense that those truly moving forward can deeply experience it.

It’s really hard to imagine how Xu Yuanzhi convinced one force after another, gained recognition from the sovereigns of the hegemonic states, and acknowledgment from the high-and-mighty ancient sects... How he gradually realized his vision, how he smoothed those resistances, and promoted the Taixu Illusion Realm in the present.

Without extraordinary wisdom, courage, and perseverance, one cannot accomplish such a magnificent enterprise.

At this moment, Shi Mingcheng asked, "Marquis Wu’an, you are the Taixu envoy, the first Taixu Corner Tower open in our country is your property. What attitude do you think we should have towards the Taixu Illusion Realm?"
