Chapter 1175: Merely a Small One!

TL: Etude

Since the Forbidden Void Realm had yet to fully stabilize, the true powerhouses had not descended. However, several Pinnacle Dao Ancestors had already arrived.

The Wind King, Fire King, and Time King of Blackwind Mountain had made their appearances. Joining them were Dao Ancestor Xumi and Dao Ancestor Heaven Devourer from the Limitless Sky Sect, Dao Ancestor Heavenly Artifact and Dao Ancestor Tianqi from the Myriad Domains Divine Hall, and Dao Ancestor Divine Sea and Dao Ancestor Eight Clouds of the Heavenly Sea Sect. These Pinnacle Dao Ancestors were the first to arrive, probing the situation within the Forbidden Void Realm.

Once the Forbidden Void Realm stabilized, it was likely that the Invincible Dao Ancestors would make their appearance, and even Half-Step Domain Ancestors might take action.

Ye Tian had also come to witness this monumental event. Naturally, he couldn’t remain absent.

However, Ye Tian’s presence was in the form of a Copy Body, and he had arrived under the guise of the Heavenly King Nine Limits.

…

Ye Tian stood beside the Wind King and Fire King, his gaze fixed on the nearby area.

That space was filled with chaotic rules, especially spatial ones, which were constantly fluctuating. There was a faint sense of an immense world hidden within.

This world was imbued with potent Forbidden Rules, clearly marking it as something far beyond the ordinary.“Wind King, are we, Blackwind Mountain, planning to contend for this Forbidden Void Realm?” Ye Tian transmitted his query.

“Let’s observe the situation first,” the Wind King replied. “But most likely, we won’t fight for it. After all, our Blackwind Mountain already possesses a Small Domain, whose concealment capabilities even surpass those of a Forbidden Void Realm.

“However, the cultivation environment within a Forbidden Void Realm far surpasses that of a Small Domain. It also contains numerous Forbidden Treasures, and over time, Forbidden Wondrous Objects will gradually emerge.

“In terms of value, a single Forbidden Void Realm can rival a Small Domain. Yet, for now, our Blackwind Mountain doesn’t lack Small Domains,” the Wind King explained.

Although Blackwind Mountain did not place much importance on acquiring a Forbidden Void Realm, this did not mean the powerful individuals within Blackwind Mountain shared the same indifference.

For instance, the Wind King himself would certainly be delighted to seize a Forbidden Void Realm. It could serve as a base of operations to develop his forces, act as his headquarters, and allow him to expand his legion.

As time passed, the fluctuation of rules emanating from the Forbidden Void Realm reached its peak before gradually settling. Once completely calm, it would signify that the realm had stabilized.

After about half a month, the Forbidden Void Realm fully stabilized.

At this point, experts from various factions began their investigations into the Forbidden Void Realm.

The Wind King also examined the Forbidden Void Realm. Using a special secret technique, he traversed the void and sent a sliver of his consciousness into the Forbidden Void Realm. It wasn’t long before he gained a general understanding of its situation.

“It’s a small Forbidden Void Realm,” the Wind King remarked, sounding somewhat disappointed.

“A small Forbidden Void Realm, huh,” Ye Tian mused.

From the records of Blackwind Mountain, Ye Tian had learned that Forbidden Void Realms were classified into small, medium, and large Forbidden Void Realms. The value of these realms undeniably increased with size.

The differences among small, medium, and large Forbidden Void Realms lay in the strength of their rules, the size of the world itself, and the quantity and quality of Forbidden Treasures.

Of course, these were not the only distinctions.

The rules of the small Forbidden Void Realm were incomplete, with special restrictions in place.

For example, medium and large Forbidden Void Realms typically had complete rules and almost no restrictions. Forbidden Void Realms without restrictions were far easier to refine and perfect, while those with restrictions were considerably harder to modify.

Of course, incomplete rules weren’t without their advantages. Certain Forbidden Void Realms with incomplete rules experienced a faster flow of time, which was a significant benefit. Cultivation in such a Forbidden Void Realm was far faster than in the outside world, as the accelerated time flow was akin to training within a grand time formation.

However, overall, the value of a small Forbidden Void Realm was far inferior to that of a medium Forbidden Void Realm.

As various Pinnacle Dao Ancestors extended their consciousness to probe the small Forbidden Void Realm, they gradually uncovered some general information about its incomplete rules.

Boom! Dao Ancestor Xumi from the Limitless Sky Sect, a master of spatial Dao, tore open the void in an attempt to step into the small Forbidden Void Realm. However, he was stopped mid-transit within the void, unable to fully enter the Forbidden Void Realm. It seemed that the unseen rules of the realm rejected his presence.

Thus, Dao Ancestor Xumi withdrew.

“This small Forbidden Void Realm has incomplete rules, but it also possesses a restriction against Pinnacle Dao Ancestors. It seems the strongest allowed inside are Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors! Additionally, the time flow inside is approximately 100 times faster than in the outside world!” Dao Ancestor Xumi concluded.

“One hundred times faster time flow?”

Many forces were intrigued. That kind of accelerated time flow was remarkable! While time formations capable of creating time flow differences of ten thousand times or more could be arranged in the outside world, constructing such formations required vast resources, and cultivating within them consumed even more. However, cultivating within a small Forbidden Void Realm with accelerated time flow didn’t require any resources—it was a natural feature of the Forbidden Void Realm! Moreover, since Pinnacle Dao Ancestors were barred from entry, this presented an opportunity for Seventh Heaven forces to compete for control of the realm.

“This Forbidden Void Realm should be handed over to our Heavenly Emperor Palace. What do you think?” a Dao Ancestor spoke up.

The speaker was Dao Ancestor Profound Crane of the Heavenly Emperor Palace, a powerful Pinnacle Dao Ancestor far stronger than Dao Ancestor Blue Sky. Within the ranks of Pinnacle Dao Ancestors, Profound Crane was among the elites, on par with the Wind King.

Dao Ancestor Xumi glanced at Dao Ancestor Profound Crane, displeased. “The value of a Forbidden Void Realm is immense. Your Heavenly Emperor Palace may want it, but so do we. Why should we simply hand it over because you said so? Everyone should compete fairly.”

Dao Ancestor Xumi’s words resonated with many, prompting a wave of criticism directed at Dao Ancestor Profound Crane.

At this moment, the Wind King spoke up. “I agree that fair competition is the way forward. Since this Forbidden Void Realm only permits Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors at most, let’s allow Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors and those below that level to enter. Whoever can claim the greatest benefits or refine the Forbidden Void Realm will prove their capability. What do you think?”

Refining a Forbidden Void Realm was exceedingly difficult.

It was an arduous process requiring a long time. Without fully occupying a Forbidden Void Realm, who could even spare the time to refine it? At most, this venture would result in gathering some Forbidden Wondrous Objects within the realm, as there wasn’t enough time to accomplish much else.

Nonetheless, most factions agreed with the Wind King’s proposal. Although Dao Ancestor Profound Crane of the Heavenly Emperor Palace was dissatisfied, he couldn’t oppose all the other forces.

“Fine, I agree!” Dao Ancestor Profound Crane finally nodded.

Soon after.

Numerous Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors began to arrive, summoned by their factions to compete for resources within the Forbidden Void Realm. If possible, they were to attempt the refinement of the Forbidden Void Realm to claim ownership.

Of course, this wasn’t a guaranteed outcome, as the chances of success were slim.
