The Secrets of the Heavenly Dust Continent

Yan Yun floated above the Nine Nether Sea Abyss for a long time.

This place gave her the feeling of a “bottomless abyss.”

Yan Yun curiously asked Yan Lingyun, “Old Ancestor, what exactly is inside this place?”

Yan Lingyun shook her head.

“I’ve only been here once, and that time, I only looked around the periphery.”

“But I’ve heard that this place is related to a great war from ten thousand years ago.”

“The great war from ten thousand years ago?”

“What war was that?” Yan Yun was curious.

Yan Lingyun began to tell Yan Yun some of the information she knew.

This great war had taken place ten thousand years before Yan Lingyun’s time.

Because it was so long ago, she wasn’t particularly clear on the details, but this war was definitely related to the upper realm.

Since the end of that great war, cultivators from the Tianchen Continent could no longer freely ascend to the upper realm.

Theoretically, as long as a cultivator on the Tianchen Continent reached a certain level of cultivation, they could go to the upper realm without having to go through any trials or tribulations.

The limit was the Divine Venerable Realm.

Because the upper realm, the Xuanyuan Realm, was not the immortal realm, and the Divine Venerable Realm was not the limit of this world.

The relationship between the Xuanyuan Realm and the Tianchen Continent was like that of towns; although there was a subordinate relationship, they were still part of the same plane.

The immortal realm, on the other hand, was completely beyond the current plane, belonging to a higher-level world.

“Alright, didn’t you say you wanted to go down and find your original body’s corpse, or the items left behind by your original body?”

“Are we going or not?” Yan Yun asked again.

These words made Yan Lingyun immediately give her a big eye-roll.

“Are you an idiot?”

“With your current cultivation, are you going down there to die?”

“This place is very strange. There’s a suction force below.”

“The farther down you go, the stronger the suction.”

“Cultivators below the Divine Venerable Realm will be pulled away in an instant.”

“Anyway, I’ve never heard of anyone who was sucked away being able to come back.”

“If you want to die, I won’t stop you.”

Upon hearing this, Yan Yun immediately gave an embarrassed smile.

“Then, then let’s forget it.”

“Let’s talk about it when I’m stronger in the future, or if one day I’m at a dead end, I’ll go in and take a look.”

“Let’s go back.”

With that, Yan Yun once again controlled the flying magic treasure and left.

But what Yan Yun didn’t know was that not long after she left, a pair of eyes that seemed to contain the starry sea suddenly lit up in the depths of the Nine Nether Abyss.

He seemed to glance in a certain direction, a trace of confusion in his eyes.

Yan Yun, who had just left the Nine Nether Sea Abyss, also seemed to feel something and instinctively looked back.

“Strange, what is this feeling?”

“Why did I feel like someone was avoiding me just now?” Yan Yun looked at the dark sea behind her, a chill running down her spine.

She soon returned to Yunzhou in Xiang Country, which was the area occupied by the four major forces, including the Cui family.

When Yan Yun passed by the territories of the Cui family and the Xuanhui Sect, she found that their forces were being attacked by the cultivators of the True Dragon Gate and Black Wind Mountain.

Fighting was happening in many places.

“What’s going on?”

“It’s only been a few days, how has it become such a mess?”

“True Dragon Gate and Black Wind Mountain cultivators, why are they attacking the cultivators of the Xuanhui Sect and the Cui family?” Yan Yun was a little confused.

Yan Yun also saw the disciples of Ghost Soul Valley.

These sinister fellows were cooperating with the disciples of True Dragon Gate and Black Wind Mountain to attack the cultivators of the Xuanhui Sect and the Cui family.

The souls of any Xuanhui Sect and Cui family cultivators who were killed would be collected by the people of Ghost Soul Valley.

Their soul-reaping magic treasure was too conspicuous.

Yan Yun watched from a high place for a while, but she didn’t meddle in their business.

After all, the disputes between cultivation forces had nothing to do with her.

So, she first returned to the Poison Sect’s base.

As soon as Yan Yun returned, Bai Zhihua, Wen Meng, and the others immediately ran over.

“Hey, hey, hey, what’s wrong with you?”

“Why are you so listless?”

“Why are you so slow?”

“This is a complete waste of my time,” Bai Zhihua complained as soon as she arrived.

“Yes, Old Third, we thought you had gotten into trouble outside again.”

“But it’s good that you’re back,” Xiao Leng also said.

Yan Yun chuckled, then looked at Wen Meng and the others and asked, “Sister Wen, have you guys been out these past few days?”

“Why has it suddenly become so chaotic outside?”

Wen Meng and the others also immediately explained the situation.

“About three days ago, the four major forces in Yunzhou suddenly started fighting.”

“The Cui family and the Xuanhui Sect are retreating step by step, we don’t know what’s going on.”

“They found out when they went out to buy materials, but they didn’t look into it too deeply.”

“Alright, you guys go on with your business, I have some things to talk about with my big sister and fourth sister.”

With that, Yan Yun pulled Bai Zhihua and Xiao Leng to the side.

“I have good news for you, I’ve run into another acquaintance on this trip!”

The two of them were immediately surprised.

“Who is it?” Bai Zhihua asked curiously.

Yan Yun gave a mysterious smile.

“My dad, my mom, from my past life.”

Xiao Leng and Bai Zhihua immediately glanced at each other, then showed an incredulous expression.

“No way, your parents also transmigrated?”

“Then why didn’t you bring them back with you?”

Bai Zhihua explained with an idiotic expression.

“What?”

“Your parents are now the Alliance Master and his wife of the Dao Alliance?”

“That’s not reasonable, is it?”

“We all came to this world together, so our ages should be about the same, right?” Bai Zhihua and Xiao Leng were both very confused and astonished.

Yan Yun couldn’t explain this question either.

“I’m not sure either, anyway, it’s my parents.”

“The feeling they give me is as if they’ve possessed these two people.”

Bai Zhihua and Xiao Leng were envious.

Their relatives were all on Earth, but all of Yan Yun’s relatives and friends were in this world, not a single one was left behind.

“I’m jealous, your luck is really good.”

“You can run into acquaintances wherever you go.”

“For you, you probably don’t have much thought for your old home anymore,” Bai Zhihua sighed.

Yan Yun could see the deep envy in their tone and expression.

She thought for a moment and decided to change the subject.

After all, this was a very happy thing for her, but for them, it could be said to be a happy thing, but also a sad thing.

“Forget it, let’s not talk about this for now.”

“I have a feeling that Xiang Country is about to fall into chaos.”

“Weren’t the four families, including the Cui family, an alliance?”

“Why did they suddenly start fighting?”

“And the people from Ghost Soul Valley are also attacking the Cui family and the Xuanhui Sect.”

“It’s really confusing,” Yan Yun said with a solemn expression.

Bai Zhihua spread her hands.

“It’s normal, this kind of thing is very common in the Dao Alliance.”

“As far as I know, the Ghost Soul Old Ancestor of Ghost Soul Valley is about to break through to the Great Accomplishment Divine Venerable Realm.”

“Once he succeeds, the four families, including the Xuanhui Sect, will be no match for Ghost Soul Valley.”

“I guess the True Dragon Gate and Black Wind Mountain have probably already surrendered to Ghost Soul Valley.”

These words made Yan Yun immediately fall into deep thought.

On second thought, it did make sense.

“Perhaps.”

“By the way, my dear fourth sister, Zhihua sister, here are the materials you wanted.”

“I’ve prepared them all for you, you can start working,” Yan Yun said, giving all the materials she had gathered to Bai Zhihua.

Bai Zhihua quickly caught the storage magic treasure.

“Pfft… you’re so disgusting.”

“Be serious, don’t call me that, I want to puke,” Bai Zhihua said, then after making a disgusted and vomiting gesture, she finally looked at the storage magic treasure.

When she saw it, her eyes lit up.

“Wow, so rich.”

“Among the few of us, your luck is the best, and you’re the richest.”

“Hahaha, stick with me, and I guarantee you’ll eat and drink well.”

“By the way, Old Four, let me ask you a question,” Yan Yun said.

When Bai Zhihua heard that Yan Yun wanted to ask a question, her interest was immediately piqued.

“Sure, but you have to pay extra.”

Yan Yun rolled her eyes.

“Alright, alright, I’ll pay you all at once.”

“I just want to ask, what’s the deal with the Nine Nether Sea Abyss and this Tianchen Continent?”

“Why did my master tell me that ten thousand years ago on the Tianchen Continent, as long as one reached the Divine Venerable

Realm, they could freely travel to the Xuanyuan Realm, but after that great war ten thousand years ago, they couldn’t?”

This question made Bai Zhihua unhappy.

“Is this one question?”

“This is clearly two questions.”

“To save money, you’re really something.”

Although Bai Zhihua complained, she did know about this matter.

First of all, it was indeed because of the great war ten thousand years ago that the Nine Nether Sea Abyss was formed, and it was also the reason why the Divine Venerables of the Tianchen Continent could no longer freely enter the Xuanyuan Realm.

Because this Tianchen Continent was originally opened up by a great sect from the upper realm.

And for some reason, this Tianchen Sect had offended many major forces in the Xuanyuan Realm and was attacked by them.

In the end, the Tianchen Sect was destroyed.

The last leader of the Tianchen Sect was killed by a joint attack of many experts, then fell into the Tianchen Continent and landed in the Star Ocean, which is how the Nine Nether Sea Abyss was formed.

As for the situation inside the Nine Nether Sea Abyss, Bai Zhihua didn’t know.

Because of the restrictions of the laws of the small world, even experts from the upper realm couldn’t easily enter.

Even if they could, their cultivation would be suppressed to the Divine Fire Realm, and they would be constantly repelled by the laws of heaven and earth, unable to stay in this world for long.

As for why the Divine Venerable cultivators of the Tianchen Continent couldn’t freely enter the Xuanyuan Realm.

The reason was also very simple.

This Tianchen Continent was now controlled by various forces from the upper realm.

They treated the Tianchen Continent as their breeding ground.

Disciples with excellent aptitude who wanted to go out had to join one of their forces.

And those who didn’t join would face their heavy obstruction.

After hearing this, Yan Yun immediately frowned.

“Then, doesn’t that mean we’re like their livestock?”

“It’s not nice to hear, but that’s indeed the case.”

“The upper realm has supported many forces on the Tianchen Continent, such as the few families your Old Ancestor destroyed back then.”

“They were the Daoist traditions of the great sects from the upper realm in the lower realms, which is why they didn’t hesitate to pay a great price to send several Divine Fire Realm cultivators to the lower realm to besiege and kill your Old Ancestor,” Bai Zhihua said with a helpless expression.

At this point, Yan Yun finally understood completely.

“Understood.”

“Go on with your work, I’m going to cultivate a bit too.”

“I’ve been so busy lately, I’ve neglected my cultivation.”

Yan Yun said goodbye to them, then went straight into her immortal dwelling.
