Chapter 444 - 314: Void Realm Island, Tan City (2)
In the beginning, they were all powerful beings from the Immortal Realm.
Later, the first generation of offspring, due to their high purity of bloodline, started at a high level, and with the support of their parents, their potential often reached very high limits, generally achieving the Human Immortal or Earth Immortal stages.
But as time slowly receded, humans reproduced generation after generation, and the starting point for newborns got lower and lower. The strength level of the parent generation also continued to decline, leading to more and more ordinary people being born on the Void Realm Island.
Of course.
Due to environmental factors, newborns here, even if ordinary, are equivalent to superhumans from the Little Universe. It wouldn’t be a problem for them to smash a small mountain with a single punch if placed in the Little Universe.
But in a place like the Void Realm Island...
The thousandfold gravity environment, stronger bacteria and viruses, and stronger external threats make these people just as fragile as ordinary people in the Little Universe, making survival even more challenging.
The young man before us, named Ma Bin, is an ordinary member of this Void Realm Island.
On the Void Realm Island, there are special cultivation methods, perhaps due to the strong gravity, where cultivation focuses mainly on Body Refining.
People’s cultivation realms are divided from first to ninth rank in increasing order.
There are no specific realm names.
Because below the Immortal Realm, all are ants.
Only above the ninth rank are there names.
And that is the Immortal Realm.
The Immortal Realm is further divided into Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, Celestial Immortal, True Immortal, Profound Immortal, and Golden Immortal.
The first three realms in the Immortal Realm align with the divisions in the Luotian World, though it’s unclear if they are the same or just coincidentally share the same names.
For ordinary people like Ma Bin, beings from the Immortal Realm are already great figures beyond reach. In the Immortal Realm, the True Immortal, Profound Immortal, and Golden Immortal stages are only heard of by name, with no certainty of their actual existence.
In a place like Void Realm Island, the Immortal Realm beings and those below it seem like two different worlds.
The difference is not only in strength, but the techniques displayed are worlds apart.
After all, the laws of the Void Realm are far more profound than those in the Little Universe, beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, untouchable below the Immortal Realm, and even most beings in the Immortal Realm cannot wield them.
Besides, there is no Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi here.
This results in those from rank one to nine, referred to as Rank-Level powerhouses by the locals, only being able to use the most basic physical combat methods in battle.
Their vision and hearing are also greatly restricted due to environmental factors.
On the other hand, Immortal Realm beings...
The top talents among them, from the Human Immortal stage, can begin to wield Law Power. Techniques like water, fire, earth, and wind are much stronger and have more practical value.
Additionally, their Immortal Sense gives them far superior insight compared to Rank-Level powerhouses.
Moreover, the True Qi within Immortal Realm beings is refined to the extreme, capable of external attack or defense, with far more techniques than those of Rank-Level powerhouses.
There’s also the ability to fly.
Not to mention the basic difference in strength.
All of these combined, create a complete rift between Immortal Realm beings and Rank-Level powerhouses.
As for the size of the Void Realm Island, in Ma Bin’s memory, there’s not much concept of it, just frequently hearing people say it’s millions of miles wide.
Whether it’s truly that expansive, no one has ever given a definite answer; the weak cannot measure it, and the strong have no leisure for that.
But from Ma Bin’s knowledge, Su Xin could basically determine that this so-called Void Realm Island could be regarded as a complete world.
On the Void Realm Island, the social structure is somewhat similar to ancient societies, mainly existing in the form of cities and villages.
There are no clear laws and order.
It’s entirely about the survival of the fittest.
Generally, the City Lord of a large city is the owner of a vast surrounding territory and is often also the strongest in the region.
The largest nearby city is Tan City.
After learning about the basic intelligence of this Void Realm Island from the other’s mind, Su Xin extended his hand and, using Telekinesis, plucked the Purple Moon Grass from the cliffside and placed it into Ma Bin’s medicine basket.
"Rest assured, I don’t intend to kill anyone but to bestow a chance of Immortal Fate upon you."
Su Xin pointed a finger at Ma Bin’s forehead.
Ma Bin stood there rigidly, not daring to evade, staring blankly at Su Xin’s actions.
When Su Xin’s finger pointed down, he felt a surge of immense power rising from deep within his body, as if this finger was a key, unlocking his body’s deepest potential.
When he regained his senses, he realized the figure had disappeared without him knowing.
"Immortal Fate... It truly is Immortal Fate."
Ma Bin was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.
His strength had leaped from the third rank directly to the fourth rank, a huge improvement for him, bringing considerable benefits to his life.
Immortal Realm beings are truly terrifying.
A casual gesture can enhance a person’s strength and change one’s destiny.
...
Su Xin flew forward for a while.
The distorted vision gradually became clear, and a massive city appeared before him.
From afar, the city looked like a majestic beast perched on the earth, its open mouth swallowing a continuous stream of people.
Silhouettes occasionally flew in and out from above the hundreds of meters high city walls.
Su Xin did not use Immortal Sense to probe, after all, in this world, Immortal Realm beings are numerous, including the three realms above the Celestial Immortal stage.
Though he doesn’t think the other’s strength would be much stronger than his, it’s best to remain low-key since he has just arrived at a new and unfamiliar place.
Soon, Su Xin flew to the top of Tan City’s city walls, just like other Immortal Realm beings.
But only then did he notice.
Tan City was enveloped in an invisible Energy Shield, through which other entering Immortal Realm beings could pass unimpeded.
From Ma Bin’s mind, Su Xin had seen information about this Energy Shield, which is a City Defense Array that every major city possesses, used to ward off foreign invasions and prevent occasional bird-type Exotic Beasts from flying into the city and causing trouble.
However, for ordinary people like Ma Bin, they usually enter and exit through the city gates, where there is a specifically left opening in the Energy Shield, so the existence of the array acts as an incidental background, rarely noticed.
Only upon now noticing the Mountain Protection Array did Su Xin remember that when Immortal Realm beings fly in and out from above, they need to traverse through the Mountain Protection Array, requiring the City Entry Order made by that city.
But these require money to purchase.
The currency in this world is a kind of Spirit Stone that contains rich Spiritual Qi, but Su Xin knows that these Spirit Stones are definitely not the same as the Spirit Stones from the Luotian World, since various substances from the Little Universe are difficult to exist in the special law environment of the Void Realm.
According to Ma Bin’s understanding.
The Spirit Stones in the Void Realm Island seem to contain special energy, making the human body increasingly stronger, and also allowing people to become more in tune with the Heavenly Dao, making it easier to comprehend the laws of the Void Realm.
Although Su Xin has not yet used the Spirit Stones from the Void Realm, he understands that since the laws of the Void Realm are far more profound than those in the Little Universe, it makes it nearly impossible for people from the Void Realm to comprehend them bit by bit, like primitive people directly learning university knowledge, it’s basically as hard as reaching the sky without a foundational base.
On the other hand, strong individuals like Su Xin, emerging from the Little Universe, comprehend the relatively simpler Basic Cosmic Laws, equivalent to having undergone foundational education, possessing basic knowledge and good learning habits and methods, naturally finding it easier to comprehend the laws of the Void Realm.
Without the Spirit Stones of the Void Realm allowing people to be in harmony with the Heavenly Dao, for those born in the Void Realm, attempting to understand the laws would be a naive fantasy.
Of course, these are just side notes.
Now the problem is, he doesn’t have any Spirit Stones from the Void Realm, so he can’t enter the city like other Immortals.
Luckily, he still has Super Space-Time Instant Teleportation.
Su Xin turned around and flew away, intending to find an unpopulated place to enter the Stealth State, and then teleport into the city when no one is watching.
