I told you to change your skills, and you changed them into a nuclear explosion immortal?

"What does this mean?"

Seeing Lu Yun's suspicion, the beautiful woman didn't hide anything and explained while holding her teacup and with her eyelids drooping.

"Initially, a domain could only be opened upon receiving the inheritance of a god and advancing to the ninth level."

"But Old Man Zhang unlocked it when he reached the eighth level, so he broke this long-standing rule."

Seeing Lu Yun looking at him, Zhang Chengmu, who had come to drink tea, quickly stopped talking and waved his hand.

"Don't look at me, it's not me."

Zhang Chengmu was speechless.

"This girl only knows how to call me Lao Deng, not such a nice-sounding term as 'old man'."

Lu Yun twitched his lips, becoming increasingly curious about this beautiful woman.

"So, as long as one accepts the inheritance of a god, there is a chance to open a domain at the eighth level?"

Lu Yun, regaining his senses, couldn't help but frown.

He did receive the divine inheritance, but his mission is not yet complete; he can only be considered a candidate.

If one must receive divine inheritance to unlock the domain, then he'll have to grind for at least several more days.

After all, it's easy to find small monsters, but finding big bosses is really difficult.

But to Lu Yun's surprise, the beautiful woman glanced at Zhang Chengmu and then spoke very calmly.

"No, that's not it."

Lu Yun was taken aback.

"Is unlocking a domain at the eighth level just an isolated case? Does it guarantee reaching the ninth level?"

"Or is it that only those who have received divine inheritance can unlock this domain?"

The beautiful woman shook her head and took a sip of tea.

"Who said that opening a realm requires receiving the inheritance of a god?"

This time, it was Lu Yun's turn to be deceived.

Haven't all her previous statements already been settled?

Is it true that only those who receive divine inheritance can unlock a domain? What do you mean now...?

Well?

etc???

Lu Yun's eyelids twitched, and he subconsciously looked at the beautiful woman.

Could it be that……

Qi Huanyu glanced at the composed beauty, then at Lu Yun who seemed to have discovered something, and slowly curled the corners of his mouth.

"Lu Yun, this is your senior sister Ye Hongyi, my first disciple, my most prized disciple, and the strongest among the younger generation, the Ninth..."

Ye Hongyi merely glanced at him while sipping her tea, causing Qi Huanyu to swallow the rest of his words.

Qi Huanyu twitched his lips and gave an awkward laugh.

"Your senior sister is such a good person. She's beautiful, smart, and strong. If you ever have any questions or if someone bullies you, just go to your senior sister. She'll definitely settle things for you."

"..."

Lu Yun was speechless. Although it was the first time he had seen Qi Huanyu act like this, he could tell that Qi Huanyu really liked his eldest disciple, Ye Hongyi.

Of course, I'm also very afraid.

"Cough cough..."

Qi Huanyu cleared his throat and began to speak in a serious tone.

"Your senior sister is right, and you're right too."

"To open a domain, one does not necessarily have to receive divine inheritance."

"Your senior sister is the first person on Earth to open their domain without receiving any inheritance!"

At this point, Qi Huanyu added with a touch of pride.

"And it's extremely powerful."

He's probably even better than you, old Deng...

Lu Yun felt a little disdainful, but he also understood that this silent senior sister must be a terrifyingly strong person.

I just don't know...

"Without opening my domain, I am no match for you; with opening my domain, it's at best a 50/50 chance."

Perhaps guessing what Lu Yun was thinking, Ye Hongyi said this indifferently.

Lu Yun was stunned for a moment, then fell silent.

He didn't know if Ye Hongyi's words were true or false, but he figured the domain was even more powerful than he had imagined.

However, to be fair, having such a powerful senior sister is a good thing.

"Then this one... is she Second Senior Sister?"

He thought Qi Huanyu might have some kind of unusual fetish, but the beautiful woman quickly waved her hand upon hearing this.

"I... I'm not the second senior brother, don't talk nonsense!"

Seeing that she seemed a little scared, and there was something strange about her that he couldn't quite put his finger on, Lu Yun muttered a suspicious thought to himself.

It seems my sect has some merit.

"I am the third senior sister, Feng Qingxue. You can just call me the third senior sister."

Lu Yun nodded, stood up, and respectfully cupped his hands in greeting.

"Greetings, Senior Sister; greetings, Third Sister."

She's my senior sister, after all; I should show her the respect she deserves.

As expected, the two were taken aback for a moment upon seeing this, and then stood up in unison, returning the gesture with a respectful cupped-hand salute.

Seeing that the two had sat back down, Lu Yun also sat down.

"If, according to Senior Sister, one can open a domain without accepting the inheritance, how can that be done?"

The eldest sister paused, looked at Lu Yun, and shook her head.

"My path cannot be replicated, nor can you learn it, but what I can tell you is that whether it's a field or a lineage, strength lies within oneself; everything else is external."

Lu Yun was taken aback, not expecting her to reply with such a sentence.

But the more Lu Yun thought about these words, the more they resonated with him, as if there was something he wanted to grasp but couldn't hold onto floating before his eyes.

Seeing Lu Yun deep in thought, Ye Hongyi opened her mouth and spoke.

"You don't need to worry about your domain. You are very strong, the strongest I have ever seen. Even if you follow the steps, you can still open your domain."

"The most important thing right now is for you to quickly advance to the seventh level and then prepare to comprehend the Divine Thought Stele tomorrow."

Seeing Lu Yun's suspicion, Ye Hongyi explained again.

"Whether it's this space or the City of Delusion, all the countries that come here to guard it ultimately do so for the Divine Thought Monument."

"The Divine Memorial Stele is the mark of the gods, and also their tomb. No one knows exactly how many there are."

"But judging from the number of divine thought tablets we currently have, it has exceeded 30,000."

"Among them, Tajikistan achieved 7812 successful enlightenments, Heng Kingdom achieved 2183 successful enlightenments, Flower Kingdom achieved 321 successful enlightenments, and Vegetable Kingdom achieved 18 enlightenments."

"The remaining countries, large and small, are no more than 10."

"Once you successfully comprehend it, you will receive the inheritance of the corresponding deity, greatly increasing your strength."

Lu Yun nodded and then asked.

"And what about our Dragon Kingdom?"

Upon hearing this, even Ye Hongyi fell silent.

Lu Yun twitched his lips and said somewhat awkwardly.

"No... there can't be any at all, can there?"

Qi Huanyu sighed, feeling quite helpless.

"There are only two. Otherwise, why has our Dragon Kingdom been suppressed all this time? It's because we've never been able to comprehend the Divine Thought Stele..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Chengmu was speechless.

"This place was clearly discovered by our Dragon Kingdom, and we were the first to settle and comprehend it, but... we have never been able to comprehend the inheritance of the Divine Thought Stele, and can only let the Tower Kingdom surpass us and suppress our Dragon Kingdom in every way."

"If it weren't for the fact that our Dragon Kingdom's Ten Guardians were powerful enough, even this temporary balance of power... would not be possible."

"and……"

Zhang Chengmu sighed and looked at Lu Yun solemnly.

"We've received breaking news that Tajikistan's divine plan is about to succeed. Once they succeed again, then..."

"A war between nations is inevitable."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun's heart sank.

He hadn't expected the matter to have gotten this serious.

It seems that getting stronger quickly is not only for personal growth, but also for the sake of the Dragon Kingdom.

Only now did he understand why Qi Zhaolin had been so excited and eager when he found him—it was truly urgent…

"Don't worry, I'm going to advance to the seventh level right now. I want to see what's going on at the Divine Sense Stele tomorrow."
