The reason why I pay so much attention to the world of "Nine Cauldrons" is simply because this world is too special.
At the peak of the second-star level, one is about to begin comprehending the Dao.
Moreover, without comprehending the Way of Heaven and Earth, one cannot advance in rank; that is a strict requirement.
In other interfaces, including [Peerless Warrior], [Perfect World], [Global Martial Arts], [Primordial Era], and [Shepherd of the Gods], Cao Ya may have come into contact with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, rules, and laws, but he has not yet formally comprehended or mastered the Great Dao and laws.
Even Cao Ya, the Immortal Gourd, is only at the Nascent Soul Incarnation Realm. He needs to reach the Dao Integration Realm to integrate a Dao Seed and control one of the three thousand Great Daos of the universe.
The Dao Integration Realm is the third stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm, while the Incarnation Realm is the first stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm, and there is still a long way to go.
After all, the further you go, the more difficult the cultivation becomes. What seems like a short step is actually an insurmountable distance.
Moreover, this is a huge step forward.
While worlds like "Lord of Mysteries," "One Piece," and "Mysterious Resurgence" clearly bear traces of the laws of heaven and earth and the rules of the Great Dao, their systems do not require cultivators to comprehend the Dao. They either drink magic potions, eat Devil Fruits, or control vengeful spirits. All they need to do is know how to use that power. As for the essence of the power, the principles of the laws and rules, the structure of the Great Dao... there is no need to understand them.
Limited by the world, it is also difficult to gain a deep understanding.
The world of [Nine Cauldrons] is entirely different from this.
[Entertainment] Cao Ya sighed:
"In the world of 'Nine Cauldrons Chronicles,' there are the stages of Acquired, Innate, Void Realm, and Supreme Power. To reach the Void Realm, one must comprehend the Dao. To reach the Supreme Power, one must create a miniature world. This is entirely based on comprehension, unlike the 'Immortal Gourd' universe. In the 'Sow of the Dao,' one does not necessarily need to comprehend the Great Dao first."
[Enjoyable Tutoring Street] Cao Ya chuckled:
"I love this kind of martial arts world the most."
Cao Ya scoffed, "Do you just like martial arts worlds?"
In the world of "Nine Cauldrons", the cultivation of martial arts begins at the Acquired Realm, which is divided into third-rate, second-rate, first-rate, and peak levels, and is also a one-star level.
After the day after tomorrow comes the innate realm, which is divided into three stages: the illusory core realm, the real core realm, and the golden core realm. Then comes the comprehension of the Dao of Heaven and Earth, stepping into the illusory realm, which is often referred to as entering the illusory realm.
The three realms of innate talent, plus the realm of entering the void, constitute a two-star level.
After entering the Void Realm, one can perceive and merge with the universe. When this reaches its peak, one can completely merge with the universe and even become invisible, which is quite miraculous.
Entering the void is merely merging with heaven and earth; penetrating the void, however, is creating a void that belongs to oneself, and also creating a "heaven and earth" that belongs to oneself.
Therefore, the Void Realm was classified as a three-star realm.
As their own "world" gradually matures, when the inner world becomes strong enough to withstand the suppression of the external world, the Void Realm expert officially reaches their peak, breaks through to the realm of the strongest, and can ascend.
Of course, even the strongest still fall into the three-star category.
In other words, the world of "Nine Cauldrons" is a three-star interface.
Cao Ya in "The Nine Cauldrons" is at the Innate Golden Core stage, but he has never been able to comprehend a certain Dao of Heaven and Earth and step into the Void Realm.
He wasn't in a hurry. After all, he was young, only a few decades old. As a Xiantian martial artist, his lifespan was two hundred years, so he had plenty of time.
Now that he has entered the system space and shared power, his lifespan has also increased dramatically. In the world of [Nine Cauldrons Chronicle], even those powerful figures in the Void Realm and the Void Cave Realm are no match for him in terms of lifespan alone.
After all, the limit for the Void Realm is only five hundred years; this is the rule of the world and cannot be changed.
"However, how did you end up in the Duanmu Continent? The core of the [Nine Cauldrons Chronicle] world is still the Nine Provinces Continent." Cao Ya from [Naruto] was puzzled.
[The Nine Cauldrons Chronicle] Cao Ya shook his head:
"How would I know? But Duanmu Continent is fine, it's far from the conflicts of the Nine Provinces. As long as you enter the Innate Realm, you're considered a big shot and can protect yourself. As for the Nine Provinces Continent... ha, you can't be too arrogant even at the Golden Core Realm."
Cao Ya of [Nine Cauldrons Chronicle] was quite satisfied with his journey to the Duanmu Continent.
【The Nine Cauldrons】The world has two continents. One is the southern continent of Jiuzhou, which is vast in area. It was divided into nine provinces by Emperor Yu, hence the name Jiuzhou.
However, the Nine Provinces continent has wild lands in the south, vast grasslands in the north, numerous small kingdoms in the western regions in the west, and scattered islands in the East China Sea in the east. If you count them carefully, it's really more than just the Nine Provinces.
The Duanmu Continent is located in the north of this realm. Emperor Yu called it the North Sea Continent. Later, a supreme ruler with the compound surname Duanmu emerged, unified the continent, and achieved great glory, leaving behind the name "Duanmu Continent," which has been passed down to this day.
The Duanmu Continent is smaller than the Kyushu Continent, roughly the size of two provinces of the Kyushu Continent, with a population of two to three hundred million, which is even less than the population of two provinces of the Kyushu Continent.
After all, Duanmu Continent is located in the north, where the climate is cold. Even though its area is not small, its population is not very large.
In the Nine Provinces continent, a single province often has a population of two to three hundred million.
Duanmu Continent, however, is a land of two states, but has the population of only one state.
There's nothing we can do about it; the climate is what it is, and we can't change it.
It's important to understand that even though the Nine Provinces Continent is the core of the world in "Nine Cauldrons Chronicles," natural disasters were constant in ancient times. It wasn't until Emperor Yu rose to power, becoming the first supreme being, dividing the land into nine provinces, and forging the Nine Cauldrons, which shook the very origin of heaven and earth, that such large-scale natural disasters ceased to occur.
However, the Duanmu Continent was plagued by constant natural disasters.
"With our power, you're now almost on par with those in the Void Realm. We've officially entered the three-star level. So, what are your plans for the future?" Cao Ya from [The Legend of the Shepherd God] asked Cao Ya from [The Legend of the Nine Cauldrons]. In his three-star world, he was already close to reaching the pinnacle.
"I haven't decided yet."
[The Nine Cauldrons Chronicle] Cao Ya pondered for a moment and said:
"I need to think about this carefully. At least in the martial arts system of the Nine Cauldrons world, you need to cultivate to the Void Realm. Just having a single Innate Golden Core won't be enough."
[The Grave Robbers' Chronicles] Cao Ya suddenly asked:
"By the way, what stage is your world's timeline at?"
[The Nine Cauldrons Chronicle] Cao Ya rubbed his temples, troubled, and said:
"I'm not sure either. Teng Qingshan, the protagonist of 'The Nine Cauldrons,' was born on the Nine Provinces Continent. I haven't heard any news about him yet, so he probably hasn't come to the Duanmu Continent yet. However, some of the other characters have been famous for a long time. Based on this, Teng Qingshan will probably cross the sea to arrive within the next few years."
He glanced at Cao Ya, the author of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," and laughed:
"Your approach is quite to my liking."
[The Return of the Condor Heroes] Cao Ya raises an eyebrow:
"You want to unify the Broken Wood Continent?"
He pondered for a moment and said:
"It's not impossible. After all, the Duanmu Continent only has the Void Realm, not the Void Cave Realm. Your strength is enough to sweep through the Duanmu Continent. But if it were the Nine Provinces Continent, it wouldn't work. Void Cave Realm experts are lurking, especially that Pei San, and the old monk from the Mani Temple, plus all sorts of Void Realm demonic beasts hidden all over the world..."
He shook his head and said:
"The Void Realm is not enough to unify the Nine Provinces Continent; only the strongest can."
