Chapter 1968: Primordial Realm
After entering the ancient book shop, Zhou Yu began to browse around.
Soon, he found some records about the customs and culture of the Heavenly Origin World.
To avoid attracting attention, Zhou Yu picked out all the ancient books related to the customs and culture of the Heavenly Origin World, and at the same time, he also bought some ancient books about Pill Medicine and Formation.
In addition, he casually grabbed a whole bunch of miscellaneous ancient books.
Then, he used the token from the Skywind Mercenary Corps given by Liu Tang to check out and left.
The reason Zhou Yu did this was also to obscure others’ scrutiny.
In this way, it would be difficult for others to discover any clues from what kind of ancient books he bought.
Although the possibility is very small, almost no one would pay attention to what Zhou Yu bought.
However, just in case.
After all, this is a strange place.
With the ancient books he purchased, Zhou Yu found a tavern, booked a private room, and then quickly began to read.
Time ticked away.
After finishing, Zhou Yu fell into a deep shock.
First, the geographical overview of the Heavenly Origin World.
It turns out the Heavenly Origin World is only one-third of this plane.
Besides the Heavenly Origin World, there are two other worlds, namely the Cold Origin Realm and the Desolate Origin Realm.
Together, these three realms make up the majority of the high-rank plane, and people here habitually refer to this plane as the Primordial Realm.
These three realms are connected through some mysterious and dangerous forbidden zones, making cross-realm travel extremely difficult.
Therefore, almost ninety-nine percent of cultivators spend their entire lives unable to leave their respective realms.
According to the records in the ancient books, one needs at least Transcendence Tribulation Stage power to cross realms.
Aside from that, the entire Primordial Realm is inhabited by hundreds of races, including some powerful ancient Divine Beast Clans like dragons, phoenixes, and qilins.
Across the entire Primordial Realm, the Human Race barely stands at a medium level.
However, compared to other races, the Human Race has a prominent difference, which is that humans are almost everywhere in the Primordial Realm.
It is the most widely spread race across the Primordial Realm.
Of course, the place Zhou Yu is currently in, the Heavenly Origin World, has the largest population of humans.
The main reason is that the Heavenly Origin World has the five strongest Primordial Venerables of the Human Race.
With their protection, the Human Race has been able to gather and develop.
And where Zhou Yu is now located belongs to the territory of Haoyuan Heavenly Venerate, one of the five Primordial Venerables.
As for the stronghold of Haoyuan Heavenly Venerate, it is a main city called Haotian City.
Haotian City is also one of the five major cities of the Human Race in the Heavenly Origin World.
The Black Sand City where Zhou Yu is currently located can hardly compare to Haotian City, it’s like comparing a firefly to the moon.
Moreover, Zhou Yu learned that the prevalent Daoist inheritance in the Human Race is precisely the Cultivation Inheritance, which is cultivation.
Additionally, there are some alternative paths, like the Ghost Cultivator, Corpse Cultivator, and Artifact Cultivator inheritances.
This fact made Zhou Yu extremely excited.
Since the mainstream inheritance here is the Cultivation Inheritance, then he has the opportunity to gain better Cultivation Techniques, and then continue to improve his cultivation.
Zhou Yu has made up his mind, he wants to elevate his cultivation to the Transcendence Tribulation Stage in the shortest possible time, and then perhaps find a way to resurrect the old man and others.
Afterwards, Zhou Yu browsed through some other texts about Pill Medicine and Formation.
As he speculated before.
The Alchemy Dao system here is completely different from that in the Human Clan Plane.
The divisions of pills here are based on the cultivators’ realms.
For instance, pills suitable for Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, pills suitable for Core Formation Stage cultivators.
And the pills suitable for each major realm are further subdivided into Basic, Intermediate, High-Level Elixirs, etc.
For example, the treasured pill Liu Tang previously gave Zhou Yu was a high-level healing pill for the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Of course, the fundamental reason why the pill system here is more advanced than that of the Human Clan Plane is that the Primordial Realm is rich in spiritual power, making the growth, properties, and age of Spiritual Medicine far superior to that of the Human Clan Plane.
The two cannot be mentioned in the same breath.
This point is not hard to understand.
Furthermore, there is also some content related to the Array Path.
The Array Path is very similar to that of the Human Clan Plane, the difference mainly lies in the array formation materials.
Of course, the Array Path is vast and profound, and these ancient books only recorded some very superficial content, which can only be used for simple understanding, not for in-depth study.
In the end, Zhou Yu also thoroughly learned about matters concerning cultivators.
For instance, the introduction to cultivators’ Magic Treasures, Cultivation Techniques, and the like.
After reading, a bright light flashed in Zhou Yu’s eyes.
Sure enough, he was right before.
Among cultivators, the most important thing, naturally, is the realm.
Those of a higher realm almost trample those of a lower realm.
In front of those with high realms, those of low realms are like ants.
Of course, the realm isn’t absolute.
Some cultivators with great lineage or significant backgrounds might possess some extremely powerful Magic Treasures or Secret Techniques.
With these Magic Treasures and Secret Techniques, it’s possible to defeat stronger opponents and even kill higher realm cultivators.
However, such cases are extremely rare.
While Zhou Yu was perusing the ancient books, a middle-aged man walked into the ancient book store Zhou Yu had visited earlier.
If Zhou Yu were present, he would certainly recognize at a glance that this middle-aged man was the bull-named cultivator who had been stationed in the mercenary team earlier.
The bull-named cultivator slightly revealed his cultivation, intimidating the shop owner, and then inquired about the books Zhou Yu purchased.
After listening, the bull-named cultivator showed a thoughtful expression.
"Interesting!"
"It seems this boy is indeed not from the Heavenly Origin World."
"In that case, this old man need not have any scruples..."
After saying that, the bull-named cultivator laughed sinisterly and turned to leave.
Zhou Yu stayed in the tavern reading all day and only came out in the evening.
After leaving the tavern, Zhou Yu did not go directly to Skywind Tavern where he had an appointment with Que’er.
Instead, he continued to wander around the streets, constantly searching with his eyes.
Suddenly, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and his gaze locked onto a shop.
This was a shop selling Magic Treasures.
Although Zhou Yu has not yet recovered from his injuries, in a few months, his injuries will surely heal, and his cultivation will be restored.
By that time, enhancing his power will be a matter of urgency.
For now, the ways he can quickly increase his power in a short period are mainly through Magic Treasures and Secret Techniques.
Secret Techniques are rare and unpredictable.
However, Magic Treasures are different; they are sold in many big cities.
Of course, finding a Magic Treasure that suits oneself perfectly is also quite difficult.
The Magic Treasures Zhou Yu had, except for those from the Four Directions Realm, had all been destroyed in the plane rupture.
Now he can only find some temporary ones to use.
Therefore, he wants to understand the current situation of the Magic Treasure market.
With this thought, Zhou Yu walked in confidently!
