Whew~~~
Walking through the misty passage, Cao Ya, Xiao Chen, Ke Ke, Jin Sanyi, Sha Po Lang, and Zhuge Pangzi all looked back, but they could no longer see that special time and space. It had been hidden deep in the river of time, leaving no trace.
At this moment, they are on their way back to the present world.
The enormous divine city, however, hid in another dimension to avoid detection from other worlds.
The group of six departed at the same time, returning to the real world of Kyushu.
However, the group was somewhat disappointed that they hadn't been able to obtain any great opportunities from Ancestor Keke.
The main reason is that Keke Xuanzu is in a special state, in a state of neither birth nor death. She can sense the outside world, but cannot freely intervene or speak. She has turned into a stone statue, waiting for Nirvana and to transform into a king!
"What a pity, what a pity. Last time we met the Martial Ancestor at the Eternal Light Source and got quite a few good things," Jin Sanyi lamented. If only Ke Ke Xuan Zu had been as lucid as the Martial Ancestor…
Putting everything else aside, with Keke's connections, they should be able to get their hands on at least two Ancestral Divine Weapons, right?!
Didn't you see that the metal man crafted by the Ancestor Keke was forged using ancestral divine weapons?
"Our trip isn't about any special opportunity; we're just here to accompany Keke and take a look at the Nine Provinces world more than thirty years from now," Xiao Chen said, shaking his head.
"Tell me about it..." Jin Sanyi muttered.
Cao Ya observed the passage; they were approaching the mortal world. The world at the end was hazy, but its outline had already emerged.
"It seems...not Kyushu?" Cao Ya murmured.
Soon, a group of people stepped out of the passage and arrived in a primitive and wild world, where a desolate atmosphere permeated the heavens and the earth.
"Could it be... that we've landed in the wrong place, and are still in the past?" Killer Wolf exclaimed.
The group of people looked at each other in bewilderment.
Keke's ancestor, a peak-level stone man, shouldn't have made such a basic mistake, right?
Xiao Chen opened his divine sense, smiled suddenly, and said:
"This is not the Nine Provinces, but the Cursed Realm."
The group of people looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that nothing went wrong!
Cao Ya swept his divine sense across the area, and found that the range of his divine sense in this cursed realm was much wider than that in the world of death.
After all, the Cursed Realm is one of the four subordinate worlds of Kyushu, and in terms of realm level, it is two levels lower than the Death Realm.
The four worlds of Kyushu are the Curse Realm, the Soul Realm, the Cultivation Realm, and the Immortal Realm.
The four subordinate worlds have vastly different geographical features and popular cultivation paths.
In the Curse Realm, curses are prevalent; in the Soul Realm, soul cultivation is practiced; and in the Cultivation Realm, cultivators naturally reside.
The final realm of immortality, on the contrary, has all kinds of cultivators, which can be described as inclusive and tolerant.
Cao Ya knew that the Realm of Immortality also contained the expectations of the Ancestral Gods of the Nine Provinces, such as constructing a world where all races of beings lived in harmony, in peace and contentment, where everyone was equal, and where immortality was achieved.
But in all the myriad realms, there is endless strife and war, so where does the "realm of immortality" come from?
"Let's go and see what the Curse Realm looks like now," Xiao Chen said.
No one objected, and they all took to the air, traversing the land of the Cursed Realm.
Along the way, they encountered some survivors and learned many secrets from them.
After the massive invasion from another world, the Nine Provinces, the Soul Realm, the Cultivation Realm, and the Immortal Realm were all crushed by the other world, resulting in the deaths of many living beings. Some ordinary people were kept in captivity, and some cultivators were imprisoned and monitored.
In comparison, it was the Cursed Realm that, due to its unique geography, was unable to be easily conquered by the other world.
The Cursed Realm is a pristine place, with vast areas covered by dense jungles, and in many places, mountains rise as high as the sky, soaring into the clouds.
In other places, there are bottomless ravines that bury mysterious and unpredictable relics.
The world was in a complex situation and did not completely fall, eventually becoming a refuge for many beings from Kyushu and the surrounding worlds.
"Why can the Curse Realm still maintain a certain degree of autonomy and independence?" Fatty Zhuge asked curiously.
"Because this realm has too many ruins. It is said that even the Ancestral Gods are unwilling to easily set foot in many places. Ancient killing formations, ancient forbidden formations, and ancient absolute formations have been left behind. Most places are no-man's-lands." The old cultivator, his face full of wrinkles, sighed. "Legend has it that the entire Cursed Realm is a giant formation, an absolute formation specifically set up to restrain the Ancestral Gods!"
“Therefore, even though there are many ancestral gods from other worlds who can dominate everything here, they are unwilling to stay here for a long time,” another female cultivator with scars on her face whispered.
“Many fleeing cultivators have come to this realm, relying on the Heaven and Earth Forbidden Array to hide from the Ancestral God of another world.” A burly man spoke, his expression somber, tinged with sadness and a hint of killing intent.
Cao Ya looked around and saw that most of the cultivators were injured, and when they mentioned the other world, they were all filled with murderous intent.
It is obvious that for more than 30 years, they have suffered greatly, forced by the other world, and are in a sorry state, like a stray dog.
Perhaps, they lost countless relatives and friends, who knows?
"Isn't this Cursed Realm just like the Divine Village?" Suddenly, Sha Po Lang spoke thoughtfully.
Xiao Chen, Ke Ke, Jin Sanyi, Zhuge Pangzi, and even Cao Ya were all stunned for a moment.
Upon closer reflection, that is indeed the case.
Both the Divine Village and the Cursed Realm rely on forbidden formations, absolute formations, killing formations, and defensive formations to resist the invasion of other realms, and even to kill the top experts of other realms, such as half-ancestors, ancestral gods, and even stone men!
Isn't this Cursed Realm just a larger version of the Divine Village?
"Hmm, there are still some differences between the two." Xiao Chen pondered and said, "The Curse Realm is larger, and the great array is uncontrolled, so it is in a state of indiscriminate friend or foe. The array outside the Divine Village is controlled by us, and the Primordial Demon City serves as the array eye, so even a stone man powerhouse can resist it."
“To be honest, Shencun is definitely more suitable for us!” Jin Sanyi also said.
The comparison between the Cursed Realm and the Divine Village left the surviving cultivators looking at each other in utter bewilderment.
What are these people talking about?
"Come with us!" Cao Ya said, leading the group of survivors out of the Cursed Realm and back to the God Village of the Dead.
When the survivors saw the village with their own eyes, they were all astonished.
At the same time, they also understood why Cao Ya, Xiao Chen, and the others had spoken in that way before.
"The village is large enough, spanning tens of millions of miles, to accommodate billions of people without any problem!"
"Bring back all the survivors from Kyushu and the Four Directions! Let them live in the Divine Village!"
"We'll temporarily abandon those five worlds!"
The crowd was filled with righteous indignation, hating the otherworldly realm while also understanding that they were no match for it.
Bringing survivors from the Five Realms back to the Netherworld and having them live in the Divine Village is an excellent choice.
Ultimately, Xiao Chen decided to drive the Ancestral Lord's warship and travel between the two worlds with Cao Ya and Ke Ke.
Jin Sanyi, Sha Polang, and Zhuge Pangzi are not even half-ancestors yet, so this time, they won't be following along.
The previous incident was merely to fulfill their wishes.
Meanwhile, Yanhuang, the Mark of Martial Arts, the Old Ancestor Dragon, Mo Xiaowang, the Mysterious Old Farmer, as well as Tianwaitian and Renwairen, were all in seclusion, cultivating diligently, and no one disturbed them.
Xiao Chen figured that with his, Ke Ke's, and Cao Ya's combined strength, along with the ability to pilot the Ancestral Lord's warship, they would be able to complete the mission.
