I have Taoism and can understand other worlds

Chapter 600 Baixi Divine Capital
Stepping into the waterfall, you'll witness a complete transformation.

Even after witnessing all sorts of wonders, Jiang Wen was still awestruck by the shelter of Baixi.

A thousand miles of emerald peach blossoms in full bloom, a celestial river descends to earth.

Looking up, all that could be seen was boundless fertile land. The vegetation was lush, and the mountains and rivers were beautiful. Shepherds grazed their livestock on the verdant plains, their flocks densely packed and countless.

Looking into the distance, a colossal, towering structure rises from the horizon.

The buildings stretched out one after another, like a string of candied hawthorns. They looked incredibly magnificent, even surpassing the towers of the Great Qian capital.

"That's where the various tribes of Baixi gather to discuss important matters; it's called the Azure Sky Tower. Whenever a major event occurs in a tribe, they summon the tribal chiefs to discuss it. Twelve elders reside in the Azure Sky Tower, all wise men chosen by the tribes. Of course, the Holy Maiden and Holy Son also live there, and many trials are conducted within its walls." Yan Ming, acting as the host, introduced the Baixi Protected Land to Jiang Wen.

It takes some time to walk from the entrance to the Baixi tribe's settlement, and the defenses along the way are very tight.

The three passes were one after another, each heavily guarded. This ensured that if the sanctuary were invaded by foreign enemies, there would be ample time to resist.

Jiang Wen met the leaders guarding the strategic pass; they were filled with fighting spirit.

Each of them is no less powerful than a Dao Palace cultivator, and there are as many as twelve of them in these three levels.

This made Jiang Wen marvel at the strength of the Baixi tribe. So many experts with the strength of the Dao Palace were a rare sight even in the capital of the Great Qian Dynasty.

It is likely that there is a powerful figure at the Saint Realm guarding this place where the Hundred Streams tribe gathers.

As expected of one of the four major tribes, their strength is indeed formidable.

After passing through the three major passes, the land ahead is peaceful and tranquil. Along the way, there are people from various tribes, and Jiang Wen even saw people with wings on their backs.

"The Yu Yun Clan?" Jiang Wen wondered. "They don't really look like the Yu Yun Clan; they do resemble the Winged Humans more. Sure enough, the four major tribes of this Fallen Immortal Land are related to the myriad races of Taicang."

Thinking that he would take a good look at the situation of the Baixi tribe after settling down, Jiang Wen nodded in response to Yan Ming's enthusiasm for being a tour guide.

"It's very difficult for the people of the four major tribes to get together. Even I haven't seen anyone from the other tribes. We'll only have a chance to learn about the other tribes when the Path to Immortality opens in ten years."

"What exactly is the Path to Immortality?" Jiang Wen asked, feigning ignorance.

"You don't even know about the Path to Immortality?" Yanming asked curiously.

“I was born relatively late, and both my parents died young. My younger sister and I depended on each other for survival, relying on the charity of our clan to stay alive. I came out this time to earn some money…” Jiang Wen sighed, making his background sound pitiful.

Upon hearing this, Yan Ming slapped his face repeatedly, took a deep breath, and apologized to Jiang Wen, "I'm sorry, Brother Jiang, I didn't know your family was so well-off..."

"It's alright, it's all in the past," Jiang Wen said nonchalantly.

The more this happened, the more guilty Yanming felt. He felt he had hurt a kind person, so he recounted the details of the path to immortality.

It turns out that this path to immortality was a secret realm discovered by various races by chance. Every eighty years, the entire land of fallen immortals will briefly turn into daytime. At that time, a heavenly ladder will descend from the sky, and the tribes scattered throughout the land of fallen immortals can travel back and forth through the heavenly ladder.

It is said that the path to immortality is endless, and one can reach a celestial palace after climbing 999 steps. The four major tribes have only ever reached the third celestial palace, and even obtained their clan's most precious treasure from that palace.

It is said that during a later calamity in the Land of Fallen Immortals, the four major tribes used this treasure to suppress a fallen immortal.

"Therefore, the Ascension Path is a grand event for our four great tribes. Each tribe will spend eighty years preparing for the trade. Warriors from each tribe will attempt to climb the Ascension Palace in hopes of obtaining various opportunities from it." As he spoke, Yanming's eyes were filled with anticipation.

No one can resist the allure of the path to immortality.

Ascend the celestial ladder to reach the celestial palace, seize opportunities there, and cultivate to a higher realm.

"It'll be another ten years before it opens?" Jiang Wen sighed inwardly upon hearing these words. The golden statue was already halfway complete; they could return in a few more days. However, this Fallen Immortal Land was rather strange; the golden statue seemed to be consuming energy much more slowly.

Before leaving this land of fallen immortals, he felt it best not to act rashly.

He had a premonition that this Fallen Immortal Land was no ordinary place. It must hold a great secret. Perhaps it was related to the True Dragon, or perhaps it held the secrets of the Four Heavenly Venerables of the Righteous God Path.

"Celestial Palace, Fallen Immortals," Jiang Wen murmured to himself. "Perhaps this Land of Fallen Immortals is also closely related to the secrets of the Primordial Era. As for these tribes living in the Land of Fallen Immortals, if they are indeed among the myriad races of the Great Cang Dynasty, how did they come here? Could it be that there are secrets I am unaware of regarding the Great Chaos of the Great Cang Dynasty back then?"

The destruction of Taicang was not achieved overnight.

When Jiang Wenji subdued the evil god and punished the Heavenly Emperor, she reduced the prosperity of Taicang to ashes. Many powerful figures from all races perished in the fire, which sowed the seeds for the later rise of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for the various sects of the immortals to seize the world of Taicang on their own.

Jiang Wen had experienced that period of time and understood the true nature of all races. Every tribe that could survive in the Great Wilderness was extraordinary.

Later, during the Great Qian's struggle for control of Taicang, almost all races were wiped out, with very few able to resist. Many tribes disappeared into the Great Wilderness. Jiang Wen had once wondered where those vanished tribes had gone; now, in this Land of Fallen Immortals, perhaps he could find some answers.

After traveling hundreds of miles, they arrived at the gathering place of the Baixi tribe. Jiang Wen gained a new understanding of the scale of the Baixi tribe.

The endless rows of houses covered the land, like parched and cracked earth, dividing it into sections. The Sky Tower stood in the center of these countless houses, and the main road stretched out in all directions.

This is the sanctuary of the Baixi tribe, and a place where more than a hundred tribes live together.

Although there were people along the way, the sheer size and chaos of the settlements still amazed Jiang Wen. It was hard to imagine that such a prosperous place could exist in such a desolate place as the Fallen Immortal Land.

"This is where we've lived since we were little, we call it the Divine Capital," Yanming said with a hearty laugh.

"The capital city?"

"Yes, legend has it that when the tribes that first emerged in Baixi were on the verge of extinction, a god descended and gave them instructions. So they found this place and established the capital here. I don't know exactly how many tribes live in the capital. In short, if you want to explore the entire capital, you probably won't be able to do it in your whole life."

Yan Ming seemed very proud when he mentioned Shen Du.

He looked up at the Cangtian Tower and asked Jiang Wen, "I've heard that the Heavenly Capital of Baiyi is also very magnificent. I wonder if it's as big as the Divine Capital?"

"This..." Jiang Wen was speechless. After all, he had no idea what Baiyi's capital was like, so he could only give a vague answer. "There is, anyway, it's quite big."

"I really want to go to Tiandu in Baiyi and see what it's like there," Yanming said expectantly.

"Let's go, the Holy Maiden still needs to go back and report."

The four-armed Xuanjue walked over and beckoned everyone to head towards the capital.
