Sword Rises in the Blue Lagoon, Why Are All the Sword Cultivation Families Older Than Old Six?

Just as that person finished speaking, another massive sword light streaked across the pale golden void,

That's clearly from the Sword Sect; it's a pleasant sight! It seems these two major powers from the Eastern Region have almost simultaneously rushed towards the Burial Abyss," Passerby A said.

Passerby B said, "We should also go join the fun. This secret realm only appears once per epoch. Even if we don't enter, just seeing the world from the outside will give me something to boast about to my descendants later."

Saying this, he turned back with a few others, preparing to take the Wanbao Pavilion's flying boat to the Burial Abyss.

The Burial Abyss is located in the core of the Central Region of the Heavenly Profound Realm. It spans thirty thousand miles, is bottomless, and is perpetually shrouded in black mist, earning it the name The Boundary Between Life And Death.

It is said that inside, there are chilling winds, and the wind carries the wails of lingering souls. Those with insufficient cultivation will have their divine souls scattered.

Half a month later, the Canglan Palace's flying boat slowly stopped ten miles away from the Burial Abyss, directly opposite the secret realm entrance. The secret realm fissure tore open above the Burial Abyss, forming a thousand-zhang-wide void crack, its edges wrapped in bloody lightning.

Inside the narrow fissure, a suspended bronze giant coffin and a shattered immortal palace were faintly visible. The aura of immortal matter leaked out like a tide.

Looking down, the cliffs on both sides of the Burial Abyss were like knife cuts, covered in sword marks and claw prints left by ancient battles. Faintly, residual sword qi could be heard whistling.

The black mist and miasma within never dissipate throughout the year and can corrode cultivators' physical bodies. Only those carrying a "辟邪玉符" (Evil-Dispelling Jade Talisman) or cultivating special techniques can resist it.

At the bottom of the Burial Abyss flows dark red river water as thick as pulp. Legend has it that it is the convergence of ancient immortal and demon blood, and anyone who touches it will be cursed.

In the middle of the Burial Abyss, there is also a suspended stone island. The shattered floating island is connected by chains, and the island retains ancient altars and collapsed divine halls.

Having just finished observing the Burial Abyss and the secret realm entrance, the people from Canglan Palace already felt numerous gazes and divine sense probes from their surroundings. Looking around, they saw that dozens of forces were already present. Various flying boats and carriages were diverse and varied, and the people from Canglan Palace didn't know which forces these belonged to, so they also began sizing them up. There was still over a month until the secret realm opened.

At this moment, people around them began whispering, "Could this be the Canglan Palace that has recently risen to fame, coming from the Eastern Region?"

"Based on the name, it should be! Looking at this setup, this Canglan Palace isn't easy to provoke either."

Just then, Ye Cangze on the flying boat said, "Get a tongue over here!" As 301 on the side prepared to act, Ye Qihao called out, "Er Gouzi!"

Er Gouzi didn't hesitate and directly ascended into the air, flying towards the nearest group of rogue cultivators. Arriving before them, the rogue cultivators stopped talking and looked at Er Gouzi warily. Seeing this, Er Gouzi smiled slightly, cupped his hands, and said, "Daoyou, there's no need to be nervous. I'm just here to find someone to help the people from our Canglan Palace understand the forces currently present. Is there any Daoyou who is very knowledgeable about these forces and can help me?"

After Er Gouzi finished speaking, no one answered him. He continued, "Of course, helping won't be for free. How about a hundred thousand high-grade source stones?"

Among those who heard this, some were already tempted. The young cultivator in front pointed to a shifty-eyed cultivator not far behind and said, "He is known as the walking encyclopedia; he is the person you are looking for."

Er Gouzi looked at that cultivator and said, "Daoyou, what do you think?"

That person's eyes darted around, and he said, "Will you really give a hundred thousand high-grade source stones?"

Er Gouzi said with a smile, "Our Canglan Palace wouldn't stoop to lying about this. Shall we go?"

For the hundred thousand high-grade source stones, that person followed Er Gouzi onto the Canglan Palace's flying boat. Arriving on the flying boat, Er Gouzi cupped his hands towards Ye Cangze and said, "Elder, this person is known as the walking encyclopedia; we can ask him first."

Ye Cangze looked at the shifty-eyed cultivator, a gentle smile on his face, and said, "Little friend, could you help us clarify which forces these are around us? Just focus on introducing the Emperor Clans of the Immortal Dao Lineages."

"Okay, I'll start by introducing the one furthest north to Senior. That profound ice flying boat furthest north is from Profound Ice Valley,"

It is said to be carved from ten-thousand-year profound ice, with an excellent appearance, transparent like crystal throughout. The boat body is inscribed with frost runes, emitting biting cold air when flying, capable of freezing passing clouds. The ice phoenix statue at the bow can release an aurora barrier to defend against attacks.

Coming over is the Ice Spirit Race's Spirit Snow Carriage. It is crafted from 'living snow' condensed by the Ice Spirit Race's secret techniques, having no fixed form, and can transform into a sled, cloud blanket, or ice deer carriage as desired. The carriage is pulled by three spirit deer materialized from ice crystals, and wherever their hooves land, ice lotuses bloom.

That silver-white sedan is the Cold Moon Palace's Moon Essence Divine Sedan, carried mid-air by four female cultivators. At night, it can instantly teleport using moonlight, and the sedan has its own small space, as cold and clear as the Guanghan Palace.

That lotus is the Small Thunderclap Temple's Eight Treasures Lotus Platform. The lotus petals are inscribed with Buddhist scriptures, and it is accompanied by chanting and sandalwood incense when flying. High monks can summon the phantom of the 'Eightfold Heavenly Dragons' for protection. Its speed is slow, but it is impervious to all evil.

Covered in demonic energy and bones is the Heavenly Demon Palace's Skeleton Demon Boat. It is refined from the bones of ancient fierce beasts, its sails are made of human skin, and it burns eerie green soul flames. It can traverse shadow dimensions, and resentful spirits are imprisoned in the cabin as a power source. Wherever it passes, chilling winds wail.

The one made of leaves is the Bodhi Ancient Sect's Bodhi Leaf Boat. It is an enlarged thousand-year-old Bodhi leaf, its veins serving as spiritual meridian channels. After injecting spiritual energy, it transforms into an emerald-colored flying boat. Golden root whiskers hang from the leaf edge, capable of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for self-sufficiency.

The one with fire is the Blazing Sun Divine Palace's Scarlet Flame War Chariot. Look, its entire body is fire, and the two fire qilin pulling the chariot cannot leave fire. A small sun true fire is also suspended on the chariot's roof, its high temperature forcing many cultivators back. It travels a hundred thousand miles a day without extinguishing.

Coming over is the Ten Thousand Monster Valley's Hundred Monster Blood Carriage. It is a giant carriage cast from monster beast skeletons and monster cores, driven by transformed great monsters. Its form changes according to the pulling monster beasts (such as Qingluan, Earth Dragon, etc.). The carriage emits a bloody pressure, causing low-level monster beasts to kneel upon seeing it.

Coming over is the Vermilion Bird Emperor Clan's Sky Burning Feather Carriage. It is woven from divine feathers shed by the Vermilion Bird, and a Vermilion Bird phantom stands on the carriage roof, scattering Southern Brightness Li Fire when it flaps its wings. The Emperor Clan bloodline can awaken the artifact spirit within the carriage, allowing it to briefly enter the laws of fire.

This one is very obvious, the Dragon Race's Cloud Sea Dragon Boat. It is refined from the scales and dragon bones shed by true dragons, and a dragon soul is coiled around the boat body, stirring up wind, rain, and lightning when sailing. The Royal Family's exclusive dragon boat is in the form of a five-clawed golden dragon and can transform into a living dragon to fight.

You should be able to tell what this next one is: the Dao Sect's Tai Chi Cloud Diagram. It is a massive formation diagram condensed from Yin and Yang qi. Cultivators stepping onto it feel as if they are walking on flat ground. It can split into Bagua positions for multiple people to use. Its speed depends on one's comprehension of Dao, symbolizing 'Dao Follows Nature'.

Next is the Heavenly Evolution Dynasty's Nine Dragon Agarwood Carriage. It is exclusive to the Emperor, pulled by nine golden dragons of destiny, and the carriage body is carved from Xuanhuang divine wood with a diagram of mountains and rivers. A projection of the imperial seal is hidden within the carriage, suppressing the nation's destiny. Anyone not of the Royal Family who rides it will suffer backlash.
