Chapter 305: Chapter 263: Bountiful Harvest, Secrets of the Great Realm

’My main focus should be on a peaceful recovery!’

With that thought, Xu Chang’an closed his eyes again and began to recuperate.

「Three months passed in the blink of an eye.」

After three months of recuperation, Xu Chang’an’s condition had improved greatly. His Demon Sense and Demon Power were fully restored.

However, the Essence Blood and Flesh and Blood Essence Qi he had lost were still not replenished. Having only recovered a sliver, he was far from his peak condition.

Still, he now possessed the combat power of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

Replenishing his Flesh and Blood Essence Qi and Essence Blood required a long period of recuperation and couldn’t be done overnight.

As such, Xu Chang’an didn’t plan to wait any longer.

His Demon Sense surged, and he began to wear away the Restriction on the Storage Bracelet.

Unless the Restriction was broken, the resources inside the Storage Bracelet could not be accessed.

BUZZ~

A faint light shimmered on the bracelet.

Xu Chang’an continuously wore down the Restriction with his Demon Sense.

An entire month passed like this.

As the shimmering light on the Storage Bracelet faded, it signaled that Xu Chang’an had successfully worn away the Restriction completely.

Probing with his Demon Sense, Xu Chang’an took in the entire contents of the Storage Bracelet.

The space within the bracelet was enormous, over ten times larger than the Storage Bag Xu Chang’an had been using.

The resources inside the Storage Bracelet were exceptionally abundant.

’Golden Flame Flower... Immortal Spirit Grass... Golden Profound Root...’

Xu Chang’an continued to identify the Spiritual Items inside the Storage Bracelet.

These were all Tier Four Spiritual Herbs and Plants, at a minimum.

’Heaven-Burning Dragon-Transforming Vine!’

Xu Chang’an’s eyes lit up.

This was a true Tier Five Spiritual Item, something that existed only in legends and Ancient Texts, practically extinct in the present-day Cultivation Realm.

To think he would actually encounter one here.

The most abundant resources in the Storage Bracelet were various Spiritual Items.

There weren’t many items like Talismans and Elixirs; they were few and far between, in fact.

But that made sense. For a Great Cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Realm like the hunched-back old man, even a Tier Four High Grade Talisman was likely less powerful than a casual bit of Magic he could cast.

There was a great deal of Spirit Stone Essence in the Storage Bracelet. Xu Chang’an took a count.

He discovered over five thousand pieces of Spirit Stone Essence, which was equivalent to more than fifty million Spirit Stones.

Furthermore, Xu Chang’an found a Spirit Crystal!

Yes, a single, flawless Spirit Crystal.

It was slightly larger than a person’s thumb and perfectly translucent.

A single Spirit Crystal was worth ten thousand pieces of Spirit Stone Essence—a hundred million Spirit Stones!

’I’ve struck it rich!’

Xu Chang’an’s face was filled with delight.

Never mind the other resources; these one hundred and fifty-million-plus Spirit Stones alone were enough to satisfy him.

Inside the Storage Bracelet, Xu Chang’an also discovered several exquisite, Top-Grade Magical Treasures.

Beyond that, there were also numerous Jade Scrolls recording various kinds of Magic, Secret Techniques, and legacies.

There were a great many of these Jade Scrolls, but Xu Chang’an still chose to inspect them one by one.

He was looking for anything of great value.

’The Ancestor of Canglan Hall!’

As Xu Chang’an continued his inspection, he finally understood the hunched-back old man’s identity!

He was the ancestor of Canglan Hall, an Overlord-level Influence in the Canglan Cultivation Realm!

’The ancestor of an Overlord-level Influence... to think he actually fell at my hands!’

Xu Chang’an tirelessly continued his inspection.

Hm!?

Xu Chang’an’s expression stirred.

’Information about the Great Realms!’

One of the Jade Scrolls contained the very information about the Great Realms that Xu Chang’an had been hoping to find.

Its contents were extremely detailed, far more comprehensive than what the Celestial Knowledge Tower had provided.

The initial sections were more or less the same.

In the vast cosmos, worlds were without number.

In weaker worlds, mere Small Realms, one could perhaps become a king at the Foundation Establishment Realm!

But in stronger worlds, even Divinity Transformation Cultivators were not considered to be at the Peak.

The cause of these differences lay in a world’s fundamental source.

For instance, in the Cangyu World where Xu Chang’an resided, the world’s source could, at most, allow its native Cultivators to reach the Early-stage Divinity Transformation.

Progressing further was nearly impossible! Even with a hundred or a thousand times the effort, one could not improve by a single iota.

This had nothing to do with the Cultivator; it was simply the world’s upper limit!

To continue cultivating, one had to travel to a Great Realm!

The ancient Cultivators called this Ascension!

Only through Ascension could a Cultivator continue to walk the path to immortality!

Within the cosmos, there were Four Great Realms!

The Celestial Knowledge Tower’s previous intelligence hadn’t mentioned these Four Great Realms.

But this Jade Scroll contained some introduction to them.

The Four Great Realms: Primordial, Taiheng, True Spirit, and Di Jun!

In the three Great Realms of Primordial, Taiheng, and True Spirit, the Human Race was supreme, the overlords of their respective realms.

But in the Great Realm of Di Jun, it was the Demon Race that reigned supreme!

The Great Realms were incomparably vast, one could almost say they were boundless.

Even a Divinity Transformation Cultivator couldn’t traverse a single Great Realm in their entire lifetime.

Within a Great Realm, the Spiritual Qi was dense, nourishing both the Primordial Spirit and the physical body. The Power of Rules in a Great Realm was different from that of an ordinary world.

For instance, in the Cangyu World, a Divinity Transformation Cultivator has a lifespan of ten thousand years!

But in a Great Realm, a Divinity Transformation Cultivator can possess a lifespan of a million years!

With a million-year lifespan, they still couldn’t traverse the entirety of a Great Realm. One can only imagine how vast a Great Realm truly is.

As Xu Chang’an read through the contents of the Jade Scroll, he grew more and more shocked.

A million-year lifespan!

To any Divinity Transformation Cultivator, this was an indescribable temptation!

No wonder, despite the exceptional dangers within the Great Realms, so many Cultivators in ancient times still journeyed to them!

Never mind anything else, the temptation of a million-year lifespan was enough on its own!

Besides information on the Great Realms, the Jade Scroll also mentioned what lay beyond the Divinity Transformation Realm.

’The Refining Void Realm!’

Xu Chang’an felt as if a fog had been lifted from his mind.

Above the Divinity Transformation Realm was the Refining Void Realm!

The Divinity Transformation Realm was about condensing a Primordial Spirit and wielding Primordial Spirit Power. The Refining Void Realm was about Refining the Power of Rules and making it one’s own!

Even just by stepping into the Refining Void Realm, one could enjoy a lifespan of ten million years in a Great Realm!

A ten-million-year lifespan!

Desire flickered in Xu Chang’an’s eyes.

Ten million years... what an eternity!

The world could transform countless times over!

Any single Great Power Cultivator at the Refining Void Realm was a living, breathing history book!

For ordinary mortals, living to eighty or ninety was considered a long life. Living past one hundred made them a marvel.

To live for a thousand years would be considered achieving true longevity!

A thousand-year lifespan was an indescribable temptation, even for an ordinary Cultivator.

But to a Core Formation Cultivator, a thousand-year lifespan was nothing special. Only by reaching the Nascent Soul Realm and enjoying a three-thousand-year lifespan could they truly claim to have achieved Longevity!

And for a Nascent Soul Cultivator, the ten-thousand-year lifespan of the Divinity Transformation Realm was worth a lifetime of pursuit.

But now, a shocking fact lay before Xu Chang’an.

Three thousand years!? Ten thousand years!?

It was all just child’s play!

Merely stepping into the Refining Void Realm granted a lifespan of ten million years!

And what about the realms beyond that!?

Thirty million years!? Fifty million years!? Or over a hundred million!?

Only that could truly be considered Longevity!

Di Jun!

This was the Great Realm that belonged to the Demon Race.

If he could travel to the Great Realm Di Jun, then...

’Even a humble rat like me can hope for Longevity!’

Xu Chang’an’s heart swelled with excitement.

He felt as if the path forward had suddenly become clear and open!

The Great Realms... that was where he truly belonged!

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step!

And now...

With a flash of light, numerous Spiritual Herbs and Plants appeared before Xu Chang’an.

’Time to begin!’

Xu Chang’an began to devour them frantically.

Golden Flame Flower, Immortal Spirit Grass, Golden Profound Root...

One after another, Spiritual Herbs and Plants of at least Tier Four quality went down his gullet.

A torrent of heat surged through him, converting into Energy that was continuously absorbed by his panel.

The numbers on the panel flickered and changed.

’The Heaven-Burning Dragon-Transforming Vine!’

A Tier Five Spiritual Item!

Without hesitation, Xu Chang’an devoured it as well.

In addition to the Spiritual Items, some valuable Ores also found their way into his stomach.

After a long while, all the consumable Spiritual Items had been devoured.

’Still not enough!’

Xu Chang’an glanced at his panel.

Breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Realm required one million Energy.

Even with numerous Tier Four Spiritual Items and the single Tier Five Heaven-Burning Dragon-Transforming Vine, the Energy he had accumulated was still short by more than two hundred thousand!

Xu Chang’an’s gaze swept over the Canglan Mountains and Rivers Map, the Seven-Colored Ultimate Spirit Sword, and the Void Shifting Disc.

Previously, devouring the Artifact Spirit within the Blood Demon Banner had accumulated over three hundred thousand Energy for him.

Now, he possessed two Spiritual Treasures and one Quasi-Spiritual Treasure!

In that case...

’It’s enough to reach Divinity Transformation!’
