Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 414 Information about the Ancient Immortal Kingdom

After the Thirteen True Spirit Longswords, the Eighteen Karma Bodhisattvas, and the Thirty-Six Great Awakening Puppets all arrived at the main hall, Yi Dong slowly walked out from the inner hall.

Yi Dong glanced around.

The True Spirit Longsword and the two types of Holy Body Puppets basically represent the three forces within the Demon Temple.

On the contrary, Yi Dong only held the title of Demon Lord, and usually collected some precious natural treasures and rare research materials, but did not manage the Demon Temple much.

The Eighteen Bodhisattvas of Cause and Effect were the original Eighteen Arhats of Cause and Effect. They were the leaders of the Cause and Effect Puppets, and their status was slightly higher than that of the later-made Sacred Body Puppets.

The Thirty-Six Great Awakening Puppets are considered to be members of the elder council within the Great Awakening Puppets group.

After the Great Awakening Puppet successively advanced to the Great Awakening Bodhisattva level, its wisdom greatly increased, and it became indistinguishable from a human.

These Great Awakening Puppets, having developed independent thought, also developed selfishness, and their interests were no longer aligned. These thirty-six Great Awakening Bodhisattvas are members of the current council of the Great Awakening Puppets, and the members of the council rotate among the Great Awakening Puppets.

"Which of you can contact the people of the Frozen Continent, or the Primordial Purple Apricot?"

Yi Dong slowly uttered a sentence.

Silence fell upon hearing this.

These three parties, preoccupied with their own opportunities, had no energy or time to concern themselves with anything outside their own interests.

Yi Dong looked at the causal puppet, about to say something, but suddenly shut up.

If you were to ask which faction under your command is the busiest, you wouldn't find anyone other than the Karma Puppet.

These evil Buddhas, the puppets of cause and effect, can become stronger by killing, and the speed at which they become stronger by killing is even faster.

From the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm to the Frozen Continent, the Karma Puppet had virtually no way to wreak havoc.

In the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm, the Immortal Kingdom provides very strict protection for the human race.

In the Vast Ocean Spirit Realm, humans are just one of many intelligent races, and their numbers are small. Most of the humans are concentrated on the major roads of the four seas, and they are scattered. In addition, with the threat of the dragon race and the powerful demon race, it is not convenient for the Karma Puppet to hunt them everywhere.

When you reach the vast starry sky, the number of humans is as numerous as drops of water in the ocean.

After the war with the Great Dream Immortal Sect began, the Karma Puppet went from planet to planet annihilating the human race.

Moreover, recently, after almost all the causal puppets advanced to the Bodhisattva realm, killing ordinary humans seemed to offer no improvement, so they began to kill those cultivators who only had the name of Dao-Merging True Immortal but not the actual strength of a Dao-Merging True Immortal.

In Yi Dong's view, if the Karma Puppet needs to kill a True Immortal of the Dao Integration Realm to advance to the Buddha Realm, then this vast starry sky might be the most suitable place for them to grow.

Because in the outside world, to kill a True Immortal who has reached the Dao, one might have to do something like the Luofu Buddhist sect, creating 100,000 pagodas, sealing off everything, and surrounding and killing them to have a chance of success.

Even if the Bodhisattva of Karma could defeat him in a one-on-one fight, it would be difficult for him to kill a True Immortal who has reached the Dao. After all, in Yi Dong's opinion, although the Karma Puppet has a lot of supernatural powers, none of them can compare to the Yellow Spring Descent supernatural power of the Lotus Puppet.

Only by attacking the strongest Lotus Puppet might one be able to kill a True Immortal in a one-on-one fight. The Karma Puppet may be stronger than the Lotus Puppet in other aspects, but it is really inferior in terms of attack.

After realizing that the Karma Puppet hadn't bothered to try to communicate with the Vast Ocean Spirit Realm, the Great Awakening Puppet was basically the same, not to mention the True Spirit Longsword. They even divided the Demon Temple into thirteen sections, which shows how much effort they put into it.

Yi Dong sighed and waved his hand, signaling the True Spirit Longsword and the two types of Holy Body Puppets to leave.

Once Yi Dong was alone in the main hall, he became thoughtful.

Centuries have passed, and the Vast Ocean Spirit Realm is no longer something Yi Dong takes seriously.

In Yi Dong's mind, the Vast Ocean Spirit Realm was basically a place of no value.

Originally, the Vast Ocean Spirit Realm was just a place for him to stay after escaping the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm, and it wasn't worth his attention at all.

Even if he leaves this calamity, he doesn't want to return to the Vast Ocean Spirit Realm.

For him, who was at the Foundation Establishment stage, the Spirit Realm was still too dangerous. He had already decided to leave the Great Thousand Starry Sky and find a mortal world to live in for tens of thousands of years until he advanced to the Golden Core stage.

The mortal realm may also be invaded by the immortal realm and the spirit realm, but the forces that would even consider the mortal realm are probably not very strong. At the very least, those forces should not have immortal techniques that can easily teleport them.

As for Mu Mu, Dongfang Hong, Dajue Puppet, Taichu Zixing, and the like, Yi Dong didn't care. Their fates were none of his concern.

However, recently he has had to pay attention to the Vast Ocean Spirit Realm.

The Azure Continent Array should be completed.

Not only will it be completed, but the position of Immortal Emperor will likely also be his.

As for why he knew, it was because he actually made a connection with the "Way of Inquiry Corridor," a secret place of knowledge, through the void.

Moreover, Yi Dong felt that what he had contacted was not the "Way of Inquiry" in the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm, but rather a part of the "Way of Inquiry" in the ancient immortal kingdom before Jin Xiu came to the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm.

The three great secret knowledge sites within the Immortal Kingdom are the Heavenly Library, the Tower of Omniscience, and the Corridor of Inquiry.

Yi Dong had some understanding of it. Among them, the Tongtian Library belonged to the Dao Academy and was undoubtedly the most "rudimentary." It did not even contain the Great Dao Nascent Soul inheritance. It was called a secret place of knowledge, but perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it the Dao Academy Library.

Secondly, there is the Tower of Omniscience. Located on Tianzhu Mountain, the Tower of Omniscience is a manifestation of the World Tree, and it can continuously increase and update the knowledge within it as it grows.

Finally, and perhaps most mysteriously, is the Corridor of Inquiry. Located in the Immortal Capital of Central Continent, it is said that only the Immortal Emperors of past dynasties possessed certain privileges to access the Corridor of Inquiry and view some of its hidden and forbidden knowledge.

For some unknown reason, Yi Dong recently became a ninth-rank Azure Emperor inexplicably.

He learned about the Ninth-Rank Azure Emperor from knowledge he gained from the void.

According to that knowledge, Immortal Emperors are divided into nine ranks, from one to nine.

There is only one First-Rank Immortal Emperor, who is the highest-ranking being in the entire Immortal Kingdom.

Below the first rank, there is no fixed outcome.

As long as the "territory" is big enough, one can become a second-grade immortal emperor.

Within that void of knowledge, the ancient immortal kingdom ruled over more than one immortal realm, totaling five great immortal realms and nine small immortal realms.

As for the spirit realm, there are tens of thousands of them, and the mortal realm is as numerous as hairs on a cow.

During the ancient Immortal Realm era, the human race of the Immortal Realm, while not exactly dominating the void, still managed to wreak havoc on all races in the void, with their true spirits reduced to guardian beasts of individual immortal kingdoms.

Yes, the ancient immortal kingdoms are a "federation," composed of relatively independent immortal kingdoms.

This is not hard to understand. Those immortal emperors who have lived for trillions of years have magical power far exceeding that of ordinary spirit realms. The magical power they have cultivated is simply incalculable, and their endurance is abnormally strong compared to most true spirits. If they were to fight, even if they used immortal techniques and immortal artifacts, it might take tens of thousands of years to determine a winner.

If there's no difference in combat power, the idea of ​​one person suppressing the void is utter nonsense.

Therefore, many powerful and fortunate Nascent Soul cultivators will establish their own kingdoms and become Immortal Emperors in order to cultivate.

The Heavenly Spiritual Root is the seed of longevity, while the Immortal Emperor is the highest level of cultivation for cultivators in the Immortal Kingdom, representing the Nascent Soul stage of the Great Dao.

Trying to cultivate by slowly absorbing spiritual energy through a seventh-tier spiritual vein is simply not as fast as the growth rate of a true spirit. Only by becoming a Celestial Emperor, leading countless mortals, and exploiting billions of cultivators can one accumulate massive magical power at "light speed" and amass boundless resources to construct various supreme immortal techniques.

The cultivation of magical power by the Celestial Emperor has nothing to do with cultivators, but rather with inconspicuous mortals.

However, perhaps because he left the Frozen Continent, Yi Dong's position as "Immortal Emperor" was not secure. The knowledge he gained was largely incomplete regarding the history of the ancient Immortal Kingdom, and there were only brief introductions to many things related to the cultivation of the Azure Emperor. As for the inherited divine abilities, immortal techniques, and various Azure Emperor Golden Core and Nascent Soul structures related to the Ninth-Rank Azure Emperor, there was not a trace of them.

"Could it be that after the collapse of the ancient immortal kingdom, the original Dao Inquiry Corridor was also shattered, and the Qingzhou Immortal Kingdom, which was like a joke on the Frozen Continent, only attracted a small fragment of the Dao Inquiry Corridor?"

Or is it because I didn't perform the sacrificial ceremony and therefore didn't have access to the Inquiry Corridor?

Yi Dong couldn't understand it for a moment; he wanted to go back to the Frozen Continent.

However, it was clear that he had no choice. He was currently only at the Foundation Establishment stage of the Great Dao, and his personal safety was entirely controlled by the True Spirit Longsword and the two types of Sacred Body puppets.

If you want to leave, you can probably only rely on them.

None of the three parties wanted to leave, and he was helpless to do anything about it.

Although Yi Dong felt that even if he took a tough stance, the True Spirit Longsword and the Holy Body Puppet would not betray him.

However, not betraying others doesn't mean they will obey you.

Don't let the unresolved issues lead to a stalemate, causing their protective measures to weaken by one or two levels—that would be fatal.

When it comes to matters of life and death, Yi Dong is generally very rational; compared to life, opportunity and knowledge are not important.

Now he knows that back in the Frozen Continent, the Holy Body Puppet was playing him. Despite his immense individual strength, he fought the Ice Dragon Clan to a standstill, which was simply outrageous.

The difference between the realm of Guanyin and the realm of Bodhisattva is significant for normal Buddhist practitioners, but not so significant for those with a sacred body.

Therefore, he absolutely did not believe that when he was at the Guanyin realm, fighting against a True Spirit or a Karmic Puppet required a group fight, but once he was promoted to Bodhisattva, he could immediately go toe-to-toe with a normal True Immortal who had reached the Dao.

However, even though he knew, Yi Dong couldn't say it out loud.

Even without the True Spirit Sword or the Holy Body Puppet, Yi Dong could still live freely in the mortal realm as long as Mu Mu teleported him there.

However, here, he really couldn't do whatever he wanted; he could only make certain concessions to all three parties.

Of course, this is on the premise that the True Spirit Longsword and the Holy Body Puppet cannot go too far. If they dare to rebel against the Heavenly Gang and order him, Yi Dong, to do things, he will immediately turn against them.

He manufactured and sold flying boats and warships, spending nearly half of his costs on "backup plans".

How could someone who created a Holy Body puppet not have left a "backup plan"?

Even the innate spiritual embryo array for refining the True Spirit Longsword was "improved" by him.

Killing or destroying the Holy Body Puppet and the True Spirit Longsword is impossible, but damaging their foundation is no problem.

As for life-saving abilities, Yi Dong possesses the Demon Gate, the Kunshan Seal, Mu Mu's divine seed, countless demon meat shields, and black bird-man demons whose strength far exceeds the life level. Given that he has the first move, he doesn't need to worry about not being able to escape.

"But what were Dongfang Hong and Mu Mu thinking? Why would they let the position of Immortal Emperor fall to me, who is not on the Frozen Continent?"
