A quarter of an hour later, Lin Xuan bowed to the old man in hemp clothing before turning around and walking out of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.
Lin Xuan bowed because he knew that what the old man in hemp robes had told him was worth far more than the ten thousand high-grade spirit stones. Ten thousand high-grade spirit stones were only enough to buy the method to go to the Xuanhuang Ancient Kingdom, but the old man in hemp robes not only told him the method, but also popularized some knowledge in him.
Some information that should have been basic is now very likely to be top secret.
After Lin Xuan walked out of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, he let out a long sigh, feeling deeply moved. Only today did he have a general understanding of the ancient era he was living in.
The Ancient Era refers to a certain time and space, a certain era, in the world he lived in after his death.
In this era, humanity was the dominant species in this world, occupying a vast territory. The core of humanity's territory was the Xuanhuang Continent, upon which lay an ancient kingdom called the Xuanhuang Ancient Kingdom, the true ruler of all humanity.
Beyond the Xuanhuang Continent, the human race still possesses a vast territory known as the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
In fact, the so-called Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are actually the Nine Great Grotto-Heavens and the Ten Great Blessed Lands.
Lin Xuan is currently located in the Eastern Wilderness Grotto-Heaven, one of the Nine Great Grotto-Heavens. The Great Zhou Dynasty and the other eight human kingdoms are all situated within the Eastern Wilderness Grotto-Heaven. Outside the Eastern Wilderness Grotto-Heaven, there are eight other Great Grotto-Heavens and ten Blessed Lands, all of which are occupied by numerous human forces. As for their current status, that remains unknown.
Because the connecting teleportation array has been destroyed, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the Xuanhuang Continent are now isolated, and there is no longer any communication between them.
In fact, most people in the Eastern Wilderness Cave Heaven were completely unaware of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; they even believed that the Eastern Wilderness Cave Heaven was the entirety of the human race's territory.
As for the name of the ten kingdoms of the human race, it is because there were originally nine kingdoms in the Eastern Wilderness Cave Heaven, and the fame of the Xuanhuang Ancient Kingdom is still spread in the Eastern Wilderness Cave Heaven, so the total number is exactly ten.
In fact!
No one knows for sure how many kingdoms the human race has, because the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are no longer connected. What changes have occurred from ancient times to the present? Only God knows.
"So the so-called Ten Kingdoms of the Human Race is just a joke, or rather, the rulers of the nine major human race kingdoms in the Eastern Wilderness Cave Heaven deliberately tried to embellish their own status by bringing up the Xuanhuang Ancient Kingdom and creating this Ten Kingdoms of the Human Race. To put it bluntly, they were just trying to piggyback on the Xuanhuang Ancient Kingdom's reputation and forcibly put their own kingdoms together with the Xuanhuang Ancient Kingdom..." Lin Xuan smiled bitterly.
At the same time, it's also heartbreaking; often, the truth of things is both laughable and heartbreaking.
"Regardless, at least this time I've gained something. At least I now know the way to the Xuanhuang Ancient Kingdom, and I've also obtained so much additional information. Next, it's time to head to the Endless Sea..."
Lin Xuan muttered to himself.
Upon learning of the two methods to reach the Xuanhuang Ancient Kingdom, he had already made a choice. In fact, it wasn't really a choice, because he simply couldn't do the first method, which involved going through the Netherworld and reversing the cycle of reincarnation.
With his current strength, let alone reversing the cycle of reincarnation, he can't even go down to the Netherworld.
"Does this world really have a netherworld? If so, is it true that people can be reincarnated after death?" Lin Xuan muttered to himself, his brows furrowing even more.
Having reached such a level of martial arts cultivation, believing in the existence of the underworld and reincarnation is not something too difficult to accept.
However, whether it is the underworld or reincarnation, both have a deep mythological color in the history of the Great Xia Dynasty. Now that Lin Xuan hears these things in this ancient era, he is somewhat excited and surprised.
As they were talking, Lin Xuanren had already walked along the street toward the city gate.
He didn't plan to linger in the city. Now that he had the information he wanted, he naturally had to get going as fast as he could. Besides, he had a flying magic item, so he could travel and rest at the same time.
"Young Master Lin..."
Suddenly, just as Lin Xuan had walked across most of the street, the crowd erupted in chaos. People scattered, and a young man in a blue robe, accompanied by a group of guards, approached and blocked Lin Xuan's path. He clasped his hands in greeting and said, "My master would like to invite Young Master Lin for a chat."
"You know me?"
Lin Xuan's pupils contracted, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, and he asked coldly, "Who is your young master?"
"Young Master Lin obtained a great opportunity in the Crimson Moon Cave Heaven, and it is said that he also received the inheritance of the ancient sect, the Primordial Dao Palace. Now he is wanted by the Demon Suppression Division of the Great Zhou Dynasty. How could we not know Young Master Lin's name!" The blue-robed youth sneered and said, "As for who my young master is, you will find out when you go there..."
"Go to hell, get lost..."
Lin Xuan's face darkened, and he immediately shouted a rebuke. He wouldn't tolerate this kind of person. They were arrogant and looked down on everyone. Did they really think he owed them something?
His shout was no ordinary shout; it was as loud as a bell, causing the void to tremble. The sound waves swept across the area like a mountain torrent, and the blue-robed youth and his guards didn't even have a chance to react before they were sent flying backward, coughing up blood.
"Cough cough cough... Lin Xuan, don't be too arrogant. If you refuse my young master, you will die a terrible death and you won't even be able to leave this Beast Town City."
The blue-robed youth roared angrily, ignoring the blood gushing from his mouth, glaring at Lin Xuan with gritted teeth and eyes full of resentment. His expression suggested he wanted nothing more than to devour Lin Xuan alive.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I don't know if I'll live or die, but I guarantee you'll die a horrible death. You can try if you don't believe me." Lin Xuan looked at the man coldly and said casually. His voice was nonchalant, but the murderous intent in his words was so strong that even a pig could hear it, let alone a human.
