The five great empires are the Longevity Empire in the Origin Realm, the Sky-Supporting Empire in the Beast Realm, the Dragon Martial Empire in the Divine Dragon Realm, the Holy Origin Empire in the Spirit Immortal Realm, and the Star Empire in the Universe Realm.
Besides the top-tier nations, the Five Realms also contain countless other nations and forces of varying sizes and strengths.
There are even countless smaller forces that don't even qualify as nations or federations, resembling ancient tribes.
The Seven Domains are the territories of seven top-tier aristocratic families that stand alone in their own right. They are: the Xue family, famous for their elixirs; the Lou family, famous for their sacred Gu witchcraft; the Tantai family, famous for their beast taming; the Di family, famous for their cultivation techniques; the Sang family, famous for their talisman and incantation techniques; the Ji family, famous for their martial arts and swordsmanship; and the Shaoling family, famous for their array formations.
These seven great families are on par with the five top nations.
Although the Seven Realms cover an area smaller than the Five Realms, only about one-fifth the size.
However, the seven great families possess complete and powerful lineages, strong strength, abundant resources, and profound foundations, enough to rival a top-tier superpower. This is why they have become the most powerful forces on Shenyuan Star and can stand on equal footing with the five great powers.
The Nine Associations are mainly composed of the Divine Abyss Biotechnology Association, Divine Abyss Pharmacy Association, Divine Abyss Forging Association, Divine Abyss Superpower Association, Divine Abyss Martial Arts Association, Divine Abyss Spiritual Safety Association, Divine Abyss Immortal Cultivation Association, Divine Abyss Cultivation Association, and Divine Abyss Battle Group Association.
The Central Alliance is an alliance of powerful sects and guilds.
The Thirteen Academies are thirteen top-tier academies that have become independent forces.
After investigating, Jin Shangyue had only one feeling: this world plane is ridiculously large.
Even various civilizations collide in the same space-time and the same plane.
A world where all things flourish is the most unique and extremely inclusive.
The interstellar world has merged in, the cultivation world has merged in, and there are various different races.
For example, the royal family of the Longevity Empire evolved from zombies after the world's spiritual energy revived a thousand years ago, eventually rivaling human rulers and establishing such a massive and top-tier power.
There's also the royal family of the Sky-Piercing Empire, who evolved from mutated animals into beastmen during the apocalypse a thousand years ago, eventually becoming a top-tier superpower.
Jin Shangyue suddenly felt a little fortunate that her biological parents were real humans who had evolved from their native modern world, rather than alien species.
As for the Yu family, Old Master Yu Han had three cousins, who were the closest collateral branches of the Yu family.
Grandpa Yu and Madam Song had a total of six children: four sons and two daughters.
Jin Shangyue had already seen them all in the treatment room a month ago.
Her biological father, Yu Weilan, also had six children—no, now that the real and fake heiress incident happened, he has seven.
The eldest son is Yu Tiancang, the second son is Yu Chengchuan, the third son is Yu Shenye, the fourth daughter is Yu Shiwei, the fifth daughter is herself, and the sixth and seventh sons are twins, namely Yu Xingze and Yu Xinghai.
"God! It's absolutely amazing!" An excited exclamation pulled Jin Shangyue back to reality.
Jin Shangyue looked up and saw Lin Shanwu sitting there, gesturing excitedly as if he were having an epileptic seizure.
Before she could say anything, Lin Shanwu jumped up excitedly, ran to Jin Shangyue, her face full of emotion, and even a little teary-eyed.
"Yueyue, you are so kind to me. You actually gave me such a powerful and profound medical cultivation manual. It is much more powerful than the medical cultivation techniques that my master cultivates."
"I believe you now. If I can truly master this entire secret manual, I will be the next Imperial Physician!"
"...Then you can learn slowly."
Although Jin Shangyue herself felt that this advanced medical cultivation technique was very simple, it was a bit too profound compared to the level of medical cultivation civilization in this world.
Even if Lin Shanwu is an unparalleled genius, it would still take him at least several decades, or even hundreds of years.
If you are mediocre, you will only learn a little bit of the basics by the time you die.
She wasn't doing charity work, so of course she had to give the most effortful reward to make Lin Shanwu remember her and be even more grateful to her.
When it comes time to enslave someone in the future, they will happily jump into the trap, be driven by her, and even gratefully count the money for her after being sold out.
Soon, Steward Li had everything prepared, and Jin Shangyue took the fingertip blood she had obtained from the old man to the laboratory for research and analysis.
Lin Shanwu couldn't care less about observing and learning from others at this moment. He hurriedly ran to the guest room arranged by Steward Li and plunged into the ocean of knowledge.
While Jin Shangyue was reviewing the records of rare and precious materials in this world and preparing a suitable antidote based on the available materials, Old Master Yu and his wife were also busy on the other side.
He was busy gathering his children for a small meeting to lay the groundwork and make arrangements for Jin Shangyue to take over the private guard and the private prefecture.
Regardless of the process, the final result was that everyone accepted the matter and followed the arrangements.
Leaving the meeting room, Yu Changyan's beautiful face fell as she glared angrily at her siblings.
"What's going on with you? Why did you accept her? How can she, a child you just found and have no feelings for, break the family rules and have a private guard?!"
"We uncles and aunts aren't even qualified to be assigned private guards, so why should she, a mere child who hasn't even grown a beard yet, be qualified?!"
"Why aren't you all objecting? You're all like quails, letting your niece bully you like this, you cowards!"
"Yu Changyan, that's enough!" Yu Changyu frowned and scolded, "On what grounds? Just because Yueyue's cultivation is stronger than all of us uncles and aunts, is that enough?!"
Yu Changyan's face turned pale and then red as her twin brother spoke, her eyes filled with shame and embarrassment.
He retorted, unwilling to accept it: "So what if she beat up my sister-in-law and a few others from Chengchuan? She's not the useless person we thought she was who had never cultivated. Why do we assume she's stronger than us elders!"
The youngest, Yu Mobai, smiled nonchalantly: "Big sister, accept reality. Can you honestly say that when my niece was hitting someone before, you could clearly see her movements? Or that you could have intervened in time?"
"My older brother did try to stop it, but what happened? My sister-in-law still got beaten up. Did any of us see what my niece did?"
A series of seemingly amused questions made Yu Changyan's expression grow increasingly unpleasant.
Finally, in a fit of rage, he growled, "That doesn't mean we can break the Yu family's rules!"
"Historically, only the previous head of the family and his wife, the current head of the family, and the current head of the family's eldest son have been qualified to have a private guard."
"Now it's great! Not only did they make an exception and give it to the Jinshangyue Private Guard, but they also gave them 30,000!"
These words made the siblings fall silent for a moment. Although they were somewhat depressed, none of them were as despondent as Yu Changyan.
After all, the rules of the Yu family are decided by the head of the family.
Besides, those private guards belong to them; they're willing to give them up, so their children and brothers really have no right to say anything.
