Hearing this.
Wang Ziyu chuckled and shook his head: "No, it isn't."
"Aside from the Eastern Continent, in this world, there are two other major realms: one named Xuanzhou and one named Daiyu."
Jiang Yuechu's brow furrowed slightly.
Xuanzhou?
Daiyu?
These two names were truly unfamiliar to her.
The historical records of Great Tang only mentioned the surrounding nations; as for the grand map of this world, they naturally didn't mention a single word.
"Then among these three places, which is stronger and which is weaker?"
Jiang Yuechu asked the key question.
Wang Ziyu glanced at her: "Does that even need to be asked? If those two realms were better than here, why would sixteen of the twenty-five orthodox Daos stubbornly squeeze into the Eastern Domain?"
"As they say, people climb to higher ground, while water flows to lower ground."
"This Eastern Domain is the high ground of this world."
"This place is rich in treasures and outstanding people, favored by Luck."
"Therefore, only the Cultivators and Demons of Xuanzhou and Daiyu desperately try to squeeze into the Eastern Domain to seek a stroke of fortune."
"Yet rarely do Cultivators from the Eastern Domain think so little of themselves as to go to those two places to suffer."
"Unless they can no longer survive here, or are pursued by enemies until they have no way out, they would only flee to those two places to avoid disaster out of necessity."
Jiang Yuechu nodded slightly.
So that was it.
The so-called Eastern Domain was the center of this world, a land of prosperity.
Being prosperous, it naturally attracted packs of wolves.
However... this brought up a new question.
Great Tang was located in the Eastern Domain, occupying a corner of this fertile land.
Its strength was truly not much to look at compared to this world.
Why... has it been safe and sound until now?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuechu raised her eyelids and looked directly at Wang Ziyu.
"If that's the case, there's something I can't figure out. Great Tang, including previous Dynasties, are just mortals with shallow foundations. Even now, it's rare to even produce one who has Ascended the Tower... so why can it occupy a place in this Eastern Domain?"
Setting aside distant matters.
Take Spirit Mountain for example.
Spirit Mountain has seventy-two caves of Demon Emperors; even if only half their power were mobilized, it would be enough to directly wipe out all living beings in the territory of Great Tang.
But in fact.
Even as dynasties changed and various Demons ran rampant.
The Human Race Dynasties of this territory have still maintained their Legacy until now.
There must be a secret in this.
Hearing this.
Wang Ziyu, who had been acting calm and composed, suddenly froze: "You don't know?"
"Should I know?"
"Uh..."
Wang Ziyu opened his mouth, seemed to think of something, and shook his head: "Not knowing... might be a good thing."
Hearing such riddles.
Jiang Yuechu couldn't help but clench her fists.
However, she still patiently said: "Why not tell me about it?"
However.
The old boy, who usually answered every question, shook his head very nervously this time: "Although this matter is not a secret among the various Dao Lineages, it is definitely not something that can be casually revealed to outsiders. Do not force me... if you really want to know, why not ask others in your Dao Lineage?"
Jiang Yuechu looked at the kid's secretive manner.
She rolled her eyes in her heart.
Dao Lineage?
As far as her Dao Lineage was concerned, she was currently the only living person.
Who was she supposed to ask?
Ask that wisp of a True Dragon's remnant soul?
If she really had an elder to guide her, why would she be running around like a headless fly?
Seeing that she couldn't get an answer.
Jiang Yuechu stopped pestering him.
However, judging from the other party's attitude of not even daring to mention it, it wasn't necessarily all bad.
At least it showed that the territory of Great Tang had some other secrets that could make outsiders wary.
Jiang Yuechu withdrew her gaze, closed her eyes, and stopped speaking.
Silence returned to the cave.
Only the light of the heart material flickered in the darkness, reflecting the girl's calm profile.
Time passed.
The sun rose and the moon set.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
When the third full moon climbed over the treetops.
The cold moonlight covered the entire mountain peak.
Inside the cave, the cold intensified suddenly.
The fist-sized Silver Ball was now pulsing like a heart.
With every beat, a circle of brilliant rosy light rippled out, illuminating the dark and cramped grotto with bizarre colors.
Everyone's gaze was drawn to it.
Wang Ziyu turned his head and nodded to Jiang Yuechu: "The timing is right. Go, manifest your Primordial Spirit and refine this heart material into it."
At this point, the boy's brow furrowed as if he had remembered something, and he added: "Refining heart material should originally have a set of cultivation methods to achieve perfect integration without losing any spirituality."
"You have just entered Ascending the Tower, and your foundation is still shallow... I assume you haven't had time to learn such methods yet... Forget it, just use the simplest method and grind it with the power of your Primordial Spirit. It won't be too late to seek an orthodox Refining Method after you return."
Jiang Yuechu's expression was calm, and she didn't say much.
She just nodded slightly.
She walked a few steps to the front of the stone platform.
She sat cross-legged and settled in.
She adjusted her breathing.
After just a moment.
At the crown of her head, gold and blue light suddenly appeared.
A figure entirely woven from gold and blue colors stepped out from her Physical Body.
Although the figure was only the size of an ordinary person, it was as solid as reality. A brilliant sun hung behind its head, radiating heavy pressure.
Once the Primordial Spirit emerged, it went straight for the floating twelve-colored rosy cloud silver.
As the Primordial Spirit left the body.
The Physical Body that was originally sitting cross-legged instantly lost all vitality and aura.
Like a clay or wooden sculpture in a temple, it sat with its head lowered and eyes downcast, completely lifeless.
In the shadows not far away.
Running Ox and Scarlet Sun Demon Venerable exchanged a glance.
A hint of curiosity flashed in the eyes of both Demons.
Such a scene was also a rare opportunity for them.
If they could get closer and observe a bit, they might be able to realize some secrets.
Running Ox subconsciously lifted a hoof and moved forward two steps.
Scarlet Sun Demon Venerable also stretched out his neck, wanting to see more clearly.
However.
Before they could even get within thirty feet.
A short figure blocked the middle of the path.
Wang Ziyu was expressionless, his hands tucked in his sleeves.
There was no longer the slightest trace of a smile on his small face.
Only a chilling coldness.
"Back off."
The voice wasn't loud.
But it made both Demons freeze up.
Running Ox's hoof, which had just been lifted, hung stiffly in mid-air, unable to either land or be pulled back.
Scarlet Sun Demon Venerable shrank his neck even more, retreating with a forced smile, wishing he could stuff himself into a crack in the rock.
Wang Ziyu snorted coldly and paid no more attention to these two fools.
This girl.
She truly has a heart as big as the sky.
When the Primordial Spirit leaves the body, the Physical Body is at its most vulnerable.
Although these two beasts seemed to be very respectful to Jiang Yuechu... those of a different race will always have different hearts.
Demons are Demons after all.
Who could guarantee they wouldn't get a hot head and take a desperate risk?
Since they came together.
He had to look after her a bit.
Wang Ziyu took a deep breath and simply sat down cross-legged in front of Jiang Yuechu.
His Divine Thought spread out, enveloping the entire cave.
Any slight movement would not escape his perception.
It was at this moment.
The gold and blue Primordial Spirit had already reached out.
It grabbed the brilliant silver light in one go.
