Realizing This Is A Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years Chapter 344 - The Suspicious Eighth Realm of the Immortal World

Chapter 344: The Suspicious Eighth Realm of the Immortal World

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Through the books provided by the eight Demon Lords, the entire Sacred Demon Heaven was clearly presented in front of Cui Heng.

The Sacred Demon Heaven was divided into 24 regions. This division was said to have been set up by an ancient Ninth Realm Demon Emperor. Now, 15 of those regions were ruled by the Nine Demon Lords.

The other nine regions were cla.s.sified as forbidden zones because of the many battles in the past.

Most of these places had the corpses of Eighth Realm experts or the fragments of some powerful divine weapon. Even the Demon Lords at the peak of the Seventh Realm did not dare to approach them.

In the 15 regions ruled by the Nine Demon Lords, there were more than 30 ancient ruins.

These places were also extremely dangerous. Even Demon Lord-level experts could only explore the outer areas and could not enter the core.

Clearly, the Sacred Demon Heaven had an extremely brilliant civilization in the past. There were many Eighth Realm experts ruled by Ninth Realm experts, leaving behind many traces of cultivation powerhouses.

This also confirmed Bi Hong’s words.

However, this glorious past was not clear in the records.

To be precise, the records about the Eighth and Ninth Realms were very vague.

It could even be said to be a little scattered.

It was as if they had been extracted from a complete book.

This was naturally not because the eight Demon Lords wanted to hide something. They did not have the guts to do so at all.

The reason was also described in the records of these books.

320,000 years ago, the Sacred Demon Heaven was invaded, and an unprecedented Great Destruction followed.

According to the description in the books—

At that time, an Eighth Realm “Lord of the Heavens” crossed the void and led more than 20 Dao Lord-level experts, intending to forcefully explore an ancient ruin of the Sacred Demon Heaven.

At that time, although the Sacred Demon Realm had already declined, there were still more than ten Demon Lords.

Moreover, ten of the Demon Lords had divine weapons left behind by their ancestors.

They were powerful treasures equivalent to the Eighth Realm in essence, and their power was extremely terrifying.

Such an overall force could be considered powerful in the myriad worlds and endless starry sky.

But even so, the Sacred Demon Heaven was no match for the Lord of the Heavens.

The ten Demon Lords attacked together and used all their Heaven Ascension Divine Weapons, but they were still no match for the Lord of the Heavens.

Their greatest result was only cutting off the crown of the Lord of the Heavens.

This caused the Lord of the Heavens to be furious and launch a ma.s.sacre to destroy the Sacred Demon Heaven.

After that battle, countless inheritance books were destroyed in one day. All ten Demon Lords died, and the ten Heaven Ascension Divine Weapons were all s.n.a.t.c.hed away.

The remaining Demon Lords were also subdued and used either as mounts, or as family nurturing spiritual roots.

In the 20,000 years after that, the entire Sacred Demon Heaven almost became the backyard of the Lord of the Heavens. All the Demons became the slaves of the Lord of the Heavens.

Even the junior disciples of the Lord of the Heavens could do whatever they wanted in the Sacred Demon Heaven. They could capture people as mounts and collect divine medicines. There was even a time when Golden Immortals used Demon Sages as mounts.

However, all of this ended after the incident 300,000 years ago.

The Lord of the Heavens who enslaved the Sacred Demon Heaven suddenly died. Even the Heaven Domain he was in was destroyed into countless fragments, becoming the first Heaven Domain in history to be completely destroyed.

That’s right.

That was the Purple Sun Heaven.

When Cui Heng was reading these books, he was very surprised to discover that the person who led the many Dao Lords to invade the Sacred Demon Realm 320,000 years ago was actually the Purple Sun Heavenly Lord at that time.

It was precisely because the Purple Sun Heaven had collapsed 300,000 years ago that the Demon Sages regained their freedom. Then, they rebuilt the Demon civilization from the ruins and slowly recovered their strength.

This was also one of the reasons why the Demon Lords immediately chose to submit to Cui Heng after realizing his strength.

Their historical experience told them that the consequences of provoking an expert were too serious.

The Great Destruction also caused the entire Sacred Demon Heaven to tremble. Some fragments fell into the Broken Realm Sea and formed small worlds.

The so-called “Broken Realm Sea” was the general name of the alternate s.p.a.ce of the Sacred Demon Heaven.

Because there were a large number of incomplete small worlds in the alternate s.p.a.ce, and these small worlds were usually formed from fragments of the Heaven Domain, they were called the Broken Realm Sea.

Although the loss of a single fragment did not have much of an effect on the Sacred Demon Heaven itself, if one could help the Sacred Demon Heaven retrieve the fragments, they could obtain a certain amount of the power of the Heavenly Dao, allowing their strength to increase greatly. They could even possess some of the characteristics of a Lord of the Heavens.

This was the only way for a Dao Lord expert to possess a portion of the power of the Eighth Realm after the disappearance of the Heaven Realm. It was also the reason why Demon Lord White Phoenix schemed to let the Sacred Demon Heaven devour that small world.

These were all the basic information about the Sacred Demon Heaven.

In addition, Cui Heng also learned many details.

For example, the situation of the various forces, the distribution of mountains and rivers, the location of various resources, the basic situation of the ruins and forbidden zones, and so on.

These were extremely beneficial to Cui Heng’s Nascent Soul cultivation.

Unfortunately, because of the Great Destruction brought about by the Purple Sun Heaven’s Lord, the ancient records of the Sacred Demon Heaven were almost wiped out. There were very few records from 300,000 years ago, and it was impossible to obtain information about the Heaven Realm from them.

However, through the records of spirituality and other books, Cui Heng still learned some important secrets.

For example, the description of the Eighth Realm of the Immortal World.

This realm was called ‘Lord of the Heavens’.

As the name suggested, this was the ruler of a Heaven Domain under the Heaven Realm system.

An existence at this realm could greatly mobilize the power of the Great Dao laws in their Heaven Domain, which was the so-called ‘power of the Heavenly Dao’. Cultivators at that level had a complete advantage over Seventh Realm cultivators.

What surprised Cui Heng was that he could not rely on himself to cultivate to this realm.

Only by obtaining the authority bestowed by the Heaven Realm after ascending to the Heaven Realm could one become a Lord of the Heavens. Then, there was the common operation of this martial cultivation system—

Transcending realm.

Just like how Mystic Deities and Taiyi Mystic Deities could become Golden Immortals by consuming Immortal True Essence, it was the same for breaking through to become a Lord of the Heavens.

Even if one had yet to reach the Grand Completion stage of the Dao Body and was still at the Creator realm, as long as he ascended to the Heaven Realm and obtained the authority bestowed by the Heaven Realm, he could directly become a Lord of the Heavens at the Eighth Realm.

However, it was precisely because reaching this realm relied on the existence of the Heaven Realm that after the Heaven Realm disappeared, no new Eighth Realm Immortal had appeared.

When all the Lords of the Heavens left behind from the old era died of old age, Eighth Realm cultivators would become a legendary existence in the myriad worlds.

This was also the reason why the current Heavens no longer had a ruler.

“No matter how I look at it, there’s something wrong with this cultivation method.” Cui Heng couldn’t help but complain in his heart, “They already know how to use the Immortal True Essence to exploit cultivators. How could they not think that they might also be being exploited in a similar way?”

Thinking of this, he suddenly had a thought. He shook his head and chuckled. “Perhaps I was wrong. It’s not that they don’t know that they’re been exploited, but they developed a method to exploit the myriad worlds using this method.”

Layers of exploitation.

However, the people of the Purple Sun Realm had also said that the former Lords of the Heavens might have held a Heaven Realm Supreme Treasure and had the ability to open the Heaven Realm Gate. They might not have really been exploited.

“If I want to further understand the mysteries of the Eighth Realm and the information about the Heaven Realm, I have to go to the Purple Sun Realm.” He already had a plan.

Other than the information about the Eighth Realm of the Immortal World, Cui Heng also obtained a secret information that surprised him.

In the books provided by these Demon Lords, the names of the Dao Lords that Purple Sun Heavenly Lord had brought back then were recorded. The original intention of recording them was to let the future generations not forget their hatred and find the right enemy.

However, one of the names and ident.i.ties made Cui Heng feel that it was very ridiculous.

Zhou Juntian!

Zhou Juntian was actually one of the more than 20 Dao Lords led by Purple Sun Heavenly Lord. He was also the strongest among those Dao Lords.

Moreover, he was the personal disciple of the Purple Sun Heavenly Lord.

This was completely different from the Zhou Juntian that Cui Heng knew.

The last Ascender before the collapse of the Heavens, the cause of the destruction of the Purple Sun Heaven, a tragic figure whose entire family had been destroyed, leaving only him… This was Cui Heng’s understanding of Zhou Juntian.

The difference was too great.

Of course, it was also possible that they only had the same name, but both of them were extremely important figures.

One was a Dao Lord at the peak of the Seventh Realm, the personal disciple of a Lord of the Heavens. The other was directly related to the destruction of the Purple Sun Heaven.

But how could two people like them have the same name?

They were both called Zhou Juntian?

And it was all related to Purple Sun Heaven?

Wasn’t this too much of a coincidence?

The chances were too low. It was almost impossible.

“Looks like if I have the chance, I should go to those three places to take a look. Perhaps I can learn more about Zhou Juntian.” Cui Heng thought to himself.

Those three places referred to the three special places marked on the star map of the Dark Sea Star’s Juntian Palace. It was said that those three places contained the treasures left behind by Zhou Juntian and contained the mysteries of the Sage King realm.

To Cui Heng, the mysteries of the Sage King realm was nothing, but the information about an important person like Zhou Juntian was very valuable.

However, this was all in the future.

To Cui Heng, the most important thing now was only one thing.

That was to digest these books and completely complete the cultivation process of the Peak of the Nascent Soul realm.

Then, he could focus on walking the path of the Soul Formation realm.

… .

Time pa.s.sed like water. In the blink of an eye, 20 years had pa.s.sed.

Cui Heng finally finished studying all the books he had obtained from the eight Demon Lords.

This kind of study was not a simple flipping through. Instead, it was to find the relevant points as much as possible among the countless pieces of information and slowly integrate them into a mature system.

It consumed a lot of energy and time.

Of course, the gains were also huge. After studying these books, Cui Heng had almost completed the acc.u.mulation of the Peak of the Nascent Soul realm.

Only less than 20% of the progress was left.

Cui Heng finally came out of seclusion.

However, he realized that Li Mingqiong and Li Wei were not the only ones who came to welcome him.

There was also a group of Hong family members from Great Xia.

After accepting everyone’s bows, Cui Heng looked at one of the old men and asked, “Hong Kang, why are you here?”
