Mysterious mirror hanging high

"For example, this [Guyuan Realm] signpost..."

Jing Yu's eyes flashed: "Did it come from other merchants?"

Gu Ming shook his head. "He's a guest from our Wanjie Chamber of Commerce... Our Wanjie Chamber of Commerce collects Dao signs from various realms all year round, and there are often ascended monks selling Dao signs from their hometowns."

"Of course, cultivators who are able to ascend generally have high achievements and can easily gain a foothold in the immortal world. There are even many True Immortal and Golden Immortal forces that were founded by ascended cultivators."

"Generally speaking, Dao beacons are worthless in realms like these where immortals have been. After all, those immortals will occasionally release secret cave realms to the lower realms. The immortal stones of our Chamber of Commerce are not very competitive."

"The most valuable are those small realm landmarks that have only produced a few Divine Transformation and Cave Heaven cultivators. The Ascending cultivators have weak foundations, which means that the spiritual energy in that realm is also scarce. There are not many powerful figures in the lower realm, but treasures are not necessarily scarce. After all, the location of some Cave Heaven secret realms is random, and there may be some rare treasures."

Jing Yu asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist Gu, I have a question. Aside from the cave-heaven secret realms deliberately released into the lower realms by ascended cultivators, why are there so many ownerless secret realms randomly dropped into various realms?"

Gu Ming answered casually, "Some of these secret realms are deliberately scattered in the lower realms by powerful people who like to support their juniors. For example, there is a great figure in the Buddhist sect who particularly likes to give away opportunities. When I was cultivating in my hometown, I once obtained an opportunity arranged by this great figure."

"Some are the corpses of immortal cultivators."

"The battles between high-level cultivators in the Immortal Realm are always fierce, often shattering the void. Every day, a large number of cultivator corpses are thrown into the Immortal Realm's vast void. Slowly drifting to the edge of the Immortal Realm, they may fall into the Dark Realm, floating there for a long time, and one day they may be 'caught' by the gravity of some smaller realm."

"If they weren't body cultivators, the physical bodies of these high-level cultivators would have been reduced to ashes in this process. However, the internal caves are extremely solid and not easily damaged. Instead, they would remain."

"Even if a deceased cultivator's cultivation level is above the Cave Heaven Realm, the Cave Heaven within their body is equivalent to [Dead Silence] and will not pose a threat to the core of the realm. Therefore, they can pass through the barrier of the realm and enter it."

"Although the laws in the cave heaven of a cultivator's body are incomplete, it is still possible for some special treasures to emerge. This is why in the immortal world, only when one reaches the [Cave Heaven Realm] can one be considered truly [on the table]."

Gu Ming sneered and said, "This [come to the table] doesn't mean [come to the table to eat], but literally means [come to the table]."

Jing Yu laughed dryly and said, "Fellow Daoist Gu does have a good sense of humor..."

Gu Ming was about to say a few more witty words when the golden shuttle they were riding on suddenly vibrated slightly. The spirit cultivator suddenly said seriously:

"We're here... We're about to enter the inner realm of the [Guyuan Realm]. How strong is Fellow Daoist Xuan Jing's divine consciousness? Can you withstand the divine soul attacks from the resentful spirits outside the realm?"

"Friend Gu, guess how I ascended to this place?" Jing Yu rarely made a joke. A soul attack filled with resentment swept over, and the [Divine Source Tribulation Thunder] wrapped outside the Niwan Palace was automatically activated, easily blocking the attack.

Jing Yu looked at Gu Ming and found that Gu Ming's expression remained unchanged. It was obvious that his soul was extremely powerful, worthy of being a [Spirit Cultivator] who specialized in spiritual practice.

"After we pass through several barriers in the boundary, we must keep our breath. According to intelligence, this boundary is likely to have some surveillance methods."

Gu Ming whispered.

Then there were several more vibrations, and the golden shuttle successfully passed through the Tianhe belt and the Gangfeng belt and arrived inside the boundary.

The two put away the golden shuttle when they were about to leave the [Strong Wind Belt]. The power of the strong wind here had been greatly reduced. The strong wind blew on Gu Ming's [Puppet Body], but could not even leave a white mark.

Jing Yu on the side raised a gray shield to isolate all the strong winds.

The two of them walked with suppressed breath, and soon broke through the last trace of strong wind and landed in a wilderness in [Guyuan Realm].

"Good luck."

Gu Ming looked from afar and said with a smile, "This place is surprisingly not far from the central urban area of ​​Guyuan Realm. Fellow Daoist, take a look..."

Jing Yu looked up and was slightly stunned.

The huge protective shield in the distance is like a jade bowl that turns a city upside down on the ground. The protective shield seems to have its own anti-peeping effect. Looking from the outside in, it is just a vast expanse of white, making it difficult to see the real scenery inside.

Jing Yu and Gu Ming held their breath, quietly approaching the protective shield. This shield seemed to possess the power of a Nascent Soul, but with such magical powers as Jing Yu and Gu Ming, it naturally couldn't stop them. They didn't even bother to set off the warning restrictions, and easily passed through it.

Entering the protective shield, a huge city that reached from sky to earth suddenly came into Jing Yu's sight.

Countless streams of light shuttled between the uneven prismatic buildings - they were the numerous monks riding on magnetic levitation flying swords.

Various emblems flowed on their robes, and they all seemed to be wearing a mechanical-style watch on their wrists. On some people's watches, a translucent virtual image appeared, which seemed to be a bust of another person, and the two were communicating with each other across the air.

On the wide roads below the tall buildings, there are dense crowds of mortals. They are all in a hurry, walking through the streets without stopping, and they seem to be moving towards their destinations anxiously and unswervingly, as if they cannot afford to waste any time.

Occasionally, you can see a few people with leisurely expressions on the street. Their relaxation is not fake. When they look at the majority of mortals around them who are in a hurry, there is a kind of condescending pity and mockery in their eyes.

In the center of the city stands a skyscraper that soars into the clouds. It is the tallest building in the city. At the top of the building, there seems to be a huge mechanical eye made of metal, which is constantly rotating, as if monitoring every move of everyone in the city at all times.

"Here..." Jing Yu's pupils shrank.

"[Guyuan Realm] was originally a spiritual realm. It is said that the remains of an immortal fell into the realm and pushed the small realm forward, causing the spiritual energy to revive. This is how practitioners gradually began to appear."

Gu Ming conjured up a set of clothing similar to those worn by the cultivators here, and chuckled as he said, "Unlike small realms that already possess abundant spiritual energy, this small realm, once a land devoid of spiritual energy, is particularly prone to developing a method called [Technology]."

"However, the creations produced by this so-called [technology], even the most lethal ones, are only at the Nascent Soul stage. As long as they do not involve the wonders of the laws, they will not pose a threat to Divine Transformation cultivators like us."
