Swish—
As the space shifted, Lu Tao found himself in an unfamiliar place.
Looking back, one sees the imperial land of Qi of the Divine Dynasty.
Currently, Lu Tao is located in a certain domain of the Heavenly Court's Brahma Heaven.
"The efficiency of the Anywhere Door in traversing space is far superior to that of the Interdimensional Link."
Lu Tao put away the Anywhere Door and couldn't help but sigh.
Not only does the Anywhere Door allow for greater travel distance and shorter travel time, but it also makes travel safer.
This journey, whether leaving the Divine Dynasty or entering the Heavenly Court, did not attract the attention of either side.
If it were the Two Realms Connection, Lu Tao would have already been exposed by now.
He will likely be searched by many powerful God Emperors, which won't cause Lu Tao any trouble, but it will still be unpleasant.
But now there is no such concern at all.
"Brahma Heaven, the worst heaven in the Heavenly Court, let's see how it goes."
Lu Tao's understanding of the Heavenly Court came entirely from the other powerful gods and emperors of the Divine Dynasty; he knew nothing of the specifics.
at this time.
Lu Tao's divine sense spread out, sweeping across all directions, instantly taking in everything nearby.
He discovered that this remote place in Brahma Heaven was similar to the remote place in Jade Dragon Heaven, with almost the same level of concentration of primordial energy.
"Sure enough, the bottom one and the best one are actually pretty much the same."
Lu Tao sighed slightly, but didn't linger.
call out--
Lu Tao used his movement technique and appeared in a city in a few flashes.
Lu Tao also called out He Yuanshuang and Wu Ming, and the three of them went up to a restaurant and sat down by the window.
"Sir, what would you like to eat?"
The waiter greeted the three of them warmly, and his smile deepened when he saw that although Lu Tao and the other two had concealed their auras and their cultivation levels were not apparent, they all possessed extraordinary qualities.
Lu Tao nodded slightly and said, "Bring one of each of your restaurant's best dishes, and three jars of wine."
"Alright, please wait a moment, sir."
The waiter immediately retreated with even greater enthusiasm to serve the dishes.
Lu Tao then cast a spell to create a barrier and looked at the two men who had been scanning the city, asking, "What do you think?"
He Yuanshuang exclaimed, "This is the true realm of gods."
"Yes, the Heavenly Court's attitude towards ascended beings is completely the opposite of that of the Divine Dynasty."
Wu Ming nodded repeatedly and added, "In the Divine Dynasty, those who ascend to immortality are universally hated and treated like rats in the street. But in the Heavenly Court, they are treated as honored guests by many forces. The difference is too great."
Lu Tao also sighed, "Yes, the difference is too great."
He had just scanned the entire city with his immense divine soul, taking in a great deal of information and gaining a preliminary understanding of the Heavenly Court.
In the Divine Dynasty, the area around the Ascension Pool was filthy and filthy, and even the pool water was murky and smelly.
But the Heavenly Court is different.
Every Ascension Pool in Heaven, even in this remote city, has a magnificent Ascension Palace.
These ascendant palaces even have numbers.
Ascension Pool No. X in X Domain on X Day.
Their attitude towards the ascended beings was also completely different; it was one of deep-seated awe and admiration.
You could say that.
Within the Heavenly Court, whether they are demons, monsters, or humans, all those who ascend to immortality are treated with the utmost respect.
also.
Lu Tao also discovered that regardless of their race or power, these ascendants received the best treatment.
If a disciple is trained in the lower realm by a powerful force, the Ascension Palace will specially dispatch a strong person to send him to the sect or race belonging to the God Realm.
Demons and monsters are generally organized by clans, while humans are organized by families or sects.
Even if those who ascend from the lower realms ascend to places not under the jurisdiction of their own race or sect, the Ascension Palace still treats them very well.
They will not treat ascendants differently just because they are from a different race or sect.
It's obvious.
This should be a tacit understanding that everyone has reached.
To prevent the geniuses and prodigies of the three races from suffering too much loss due to the barriers between them.
certainly.
This is only the situation on the surface.
As for what happens behind the scenes, that's hard to say.
After all, no one can rule out the possibility that other living beings might harbor selfish motives.
but.
This situation should be rare, since the Heavenly Court does not sever the connection between the upper and lower realms like the Divine Dynasty.
Since beings in the celestial realm can contact those in the upper realm, it's impossible to hide who has ascended and roughly where they are. Even if someone disappears after ascension, they will be found.
The Divine Dynasty possessed divine emperors skilled in tracking, cause and effect, divination, and other related fields; the Heavenly Court naturally had one as well.
As for the three races of the Heavenly Court, their situation is similar to that of the Divine Dynasty, with numerous conflicts that are difficult to resolve.
"The Heavenly Court is indeed a blessed land for those who ascend to immortality."
Lu Tao sighed softly.
Compared to the treatment of ascendants in the Heavenly Court, it's likely that no ascendant would want to appear within the territory of the Divine Dynasty.
He Yuanshuang suddenly asked curiously, "From the conversation between the Heavenly Court cultivators, I didn't hear any news about native beings of the God Realm. It seems that there are no such cultivators within the Heavenly Court."
Lu Tao said in a deep voice, "Perhaps... just like how the Divine Dynasty treated the Ascended, it once slaughtered all the native creatures of the Divine Realm within the Heavenly Court's territory."
"Hiss..."
He Yuanshuang gasped in shock.
In the blink of an eye, her previously positive impression of the Heavenly Court underwent a dramatic change.
Wu Ming exclaimed in surprise, "It seems that these two powerful forces are truly... hard to explain."
"Indeed, after all, they are two opposing forces. How could they possibly be merciful to the creatures of each other?"
Lu Tao nodded, seemingly having already guessed this, and was not surprised.
He Yuanshuang remained silent for a long time before saying in a low voice, "These two enormous creatures must have slaughtered countless lives over such a long period of time."
Wu Ming pondered, "Compared to the Divine Dynasty, the Heavenly Court must have committed far fewer massacres."
"Within the Heavenly Court's territory, those powerful figures from the former Divine Dynasty must have escaped from the Eleventh Heaven during that battle and returned to the Divine Dynasty long ago."
Not all, but at least 90% or more.
"Therefore, the number of the divine beings slaughtered by the Heavenly Court should not be that many."
"After all, after the Heavenly Court wiped out all the native divine beings within its territory, there were basically no new ones."
"But the Divine Dynasty is different."
"Even if the Divine Dynasty slaughters the ascendants time and time again, even if it wipes out all the living beings in the Domain Prison, there will still be living beings in the lower realm who will eventually ascend."
"With a constant supply of new life, the number of ascendants is virtually endless, but for this very reason, the number of lives slaughtered by the Divine Dynasty must be countless times greater than that of the Heavenly Court."
In the end, Wu Ming couldn't help but sigh and shake his head.
The ascendants within the Divine Dynasty are like leeks; they grow back after being cut down, and you can't kill them all.
But the Heavenly Court is different.
After the initial massacre, or rather, after being driven out by the divine dynasty, there were hardly any native divine beings left in the territory.
As for the descendants of those who ascended to heaven and settled in the divine realm, these are naturally still considered ascended beings, not native beings of the divine realm.
Otherwise...
Isn't the Heavenly Court following the same old path that the divine realm once took?
Lu Tao looked at He Yuanshuang and smiled, "Shuang'er, don't think so much. The Heavenly Court is the Heavenly Court, and we are us. No matter what the Heavenly Court has done in the past, we are not trying to merge into the Heavenly Court."
He could tell that He Yuanshuang didn't seem to have a good impression of the Heavenly Court and was somewhat resistant to the Immortal Sect's integration into the Heavenly Court.
"Yes, yes, we won't join the Heavenly Court."
He Yuanshuang nodded emphatically; she was very happy to hear Lu Tao say that.
Wu Ming laughed and said, "Sister Shuang, with Brother Tao's abilities, our Immortal Sect will definitely not join the Heavenly Court. Even if the Heavenly Court wants to join us in the future, it won't be qualified, right, Brother Tao?"
“That’s right. With the potential and strength of our Immortal Sect, why would we need to integrate with other forces to obey orders?”
Lu Tao nodded with a smile.
He never intended to join any faction.
He disdains even so-called neutral forces like the Heavenly Court, let alone the Dao Palace.
even.
Even the human race in the God Realm is nothing to Lu Tao.
He didn't care about the war between the Divine Dynasty, the Heavenly Court, and the Dao Palace. However, as an ascendant, and an ascendant who came from the Divine Dynasty, Lu Tao inevitably ended up on the opposite side of the Divine Dynasty.
Besides...
Even if Lu Tao doesn't target the Divine Dynasty, once his identity is exposed, no force or Saint Realm expert in the Divine Dynasty will let him go.
Who would leave behind a potentially formidable enemy?
What he is doing now in Yulongtian is tantamount to striking first.
However, this is currently limited to Yulongtian.
Lu Tao neither provoked nor attacked the other ten heavens within the Divine Dynasty.
but.
Besides his status as an ascendant and his origin from the lower realm within the Divine Dynasty, Lu Tao also deeply abhorred what the Divine Dynasty had done.
Leaving aside the other ten heavens, let's just talk about the Jade Dragon Heaven.
An entity like the Tianyu Sect, which controls the first level of heaven, has had countless elders and disciples who have slaughtered ascendants.
Not to mention sects like the Demon Desire Gate, the Golden Flame Eagle Clan, the Holy Soul Hall, and the Crossing the Karma Palace.
It wasn't just slaughtering the ascended beings, it was torture and murder.
Since Lu Tao has the power to deal with such forces, he can simply crush them without hesitation, just for the sake of a satisfying feeling.
In this instigation of internal strife among the three races of Yulongtian, the Golden Flame Eagle Clan was wiped out, and the Holy Soul Hall and the Crossing the Industry Palace, both originating from human forces, were also destroyed.
Lu Tao also did not let go of several other forces and races.
Even within the enslaved Demon Desire Sect, many disciples have been transformed into experience pills and world pills.
Lu Tao's current stance is that he does not belong to any of the three major forces.
He is the fourth force.
Although at present, this force is not known or valued by any other party.
But Lu Tao didn't care.
"Please enjoy your meal!"
Soon, while the three chatted, the waiter brought out all the dishes and wine.
All the dishes are delicious and visually appealing.
It contains the flesh and blood of various monsters, as well as various divine medicines.
The three chatted and enjoyed their meal.
Since they were able to fast, they hadn't enjoyed such delicious food for a long time.
"Hmm, this tastes pretty good. I suddenly realized that we've been in seclusion all this time, and we've definitely missed out on a lot of delicious food."
Wu Ming enjoyed the meal immensely, praising the delicious food at the restaurant.
He added, "Brother Tao, we need to pack some up later and bring some back for the Immortal Sect disciples as well. It's really delicious."
Lu Tao joked, "I think you're planning to pack it up for Shuyao."
"Hehe, they're all the same, they're all the same."
Wu Ming wasn't embarrassed when his thoughts were exposed.
Lu Tao smiled and called Li Shuyao out, then gave her a pair of chopsticks as well.
As a result, Lu Ling and the others couldn't help but protest inside the cave and wanted to come out for a stroll as well.
Lu Tao couldn't help but feel a headache coming on, so he ignored them.
He didn't come here to book the entire restaurant, so why would he bring so many people with him?
With so many disciples in the Immortal Sect, many of them are skilled at cooking, so there's nothing they can't eat.
During the meal, the group didn't forget to gather information.
The more information they gathered, the more they learned about the Heavenly Court.
Li Shuyao said softly, "Sect Master, I haven't heard the word 'Domain Prison' from these cultivators. Doesn't the Heavenly Court have a Domain Prison?"
"Yes, the fragments of the divine realm that the Heavenly Court found have all been integrated into the eleventh heaven, unlike the Divine Dynasty which kept them as domain prisons."
Lu Tao nodded slightly.
The term "domain prison" only exists in the Divine Dynasty.
There is no Heavenly Court.
After the Heavenly Court collects the fragments of the God Realm, even if there are native beings of the God Realm among them, they will be cleaned up after being slaughtered, and the fragments can be directly merged with the Heavenly Court.
In any case, the corresponding lower realm also belongs to the ascended beings.
He Yuanshuang suddenly spoke up: "Husband, does the Divine Dynasty have the ability to transfer the lower realm corresponding to their eleventh heaven to the Domain Prison? Or can it simply remove it from the Divine Dynasty's territory?"
"This way, there won't be too much slaughter, and we won't have to worry about the constant emergence of ascendants."
He Yuanshuang looked at Lu Tao expectantly.
Lu Tao shook his head and said, "It's possible, but they won't do it."
"Why?"
He Yuanshuang was puzzled, but suddenly she remembered something and frowned, saying, "Is it for special resources? And those rare and precious herbs?"
Lu Tao nodded slightly: "That's right. To the Divine Dynasty, those ascendants from the lower realms are both annoying ants and tools for transporting treasures to them."
"I see."
He Yuanshuang suddenly realized, and her expression turned somewhat somber.
The lower realm is teeming with life, and in addition to the birth of low-level rare and precious materials, there is also a certain chance of encountering high-level materials.
Not to mention the God-King level, it could be the God-Emperor level, the God-King level, or even the Saint level.
Although the possibility is not very high, it's better than nothing.
The lower realms left behind by the Divine Dynasty are a treasure for many cultivators, as long as any ascendant can ascend to them.
The same applies to the Domain Prison.
certainly.
Besides that, there is another reason.
Lu Tao sighed, "Moreover, by keeping those lower realms under the control of the Divine Dynasty, no matter what kind of geniuses or monsters appear in the lower realms, they can kill them in time."
"But if the lower realm were to break away from the divine dynasty and be found and accepted by the Heavenly Court, it would undoubtedly transport more geniuses and prodigies to the Heavenly Court."
“With this back and forth, the Heavenly Court’s strength will be greatly enhanced, and the Divine Dynasty will naturally not do such a thing as sending monsters to the Heavenly Court.”
Lu Tao had thought about these things quite deeply.
It is no exaggeration to say that since the God Realm was shattered, the Divine Dynasty has killed countless monstrous talents with great potential over the countless years.
This can be seen as preventing the Heavenly Court from becoming even more powerful.
They kept the lower realm within their own territory, which can be said to be a win-win situation.
It's impossible to truly abandon it.
"This is truly an irreconcilable hatred."
Wu Ming sighed.
He Yuanshuang and Li Shuyao also nodded in agreement.
No wonder the hatred between the two powers has lasted for countless years. The actions of the Divine Dynasty will indeed thoroughly enrage the ascendants.
People like Lu Tao have only been in the God Realm for a short time, only a year or two.
and.
Their understanding of the three major powers was limited to the few bits and pieces they had gathered.
As for more detailed information, grudges, etc., they do not know for the time being.
Therefore, Lu Tao and his group didn't really understand these three forces, and it was difficult for them to identify with them.
But there is one thing.
No matter what, they could not embody the identity of a cultivator from the Divine Dynasty.
This is beyond doubt.
"Alright, now that we've eaten and drunk our fill, it's time to get moving."
Before long, the four of them finished eating. After paying the bill, Lu Tao left the restaurant and began to gather information in Fandutian.
News about the Rules of the Secret Realm.
