Chapter 562: The Still Sea

“It seems that the duration of my clone’s ability is the issue; as a remnant, it has a significantly limited output time and potential,” Yun Ye said.

Tomorrow placed her hand on her forehead: “You are only at the Mystic Realm level, and your clone is at the same realm. Achieving this level is already impressive.”

“The further we go, the more immeasurable the gap becomes. The God Destruction Clan consumed a large number of Honored Beings and took two hundred years to reach Honored Position, and then another thousand years to attain the Royal Path. I wonder how many years I will need…” Yun Ye shook his head slightly.

Strong combat power does not always mean much.

Each era has its strong and weak; this isn’t solely a question of inheritance.

In terms of inheritance, who can truly be compared to the celestial clans?

The grand environment of heaven and earth directly determines the limits of cultivators; higher combat power requires more resources and makes advancement increasingly difficult.

Finding the right balance is the key to victory.

It took the God Destruction Clan one thousand years to advance to the Royal Path after opening the Five Elements Cave Heaven; how many years would I need to progress to the Royal Path after opening the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven?

Yun Ye stored away the Dragon Ship and stepped onto the floating island of the Heavenly Continent.

He truly felt a monumental difference!

Everywhere flowed with spiritual traces; cultivation methods progressed at astonishing rates. The land held a sense of holiness, where famous mountains harbored dragons and snakes, filled with vibrant energy, seemingly able to support statuses akin to the Qilin Rankings!

Just a random lake possessed exceptionally unique spiritual resonance, teeming with special spiritual fish that looked far from wild and seemed specially created for supporting cultivation; Yun Ye even saw people meditating in the lake, their Spirit Sense being honed as they comprehended the power of a higher realm.

In the distance, a strand of sword energy crossed through the skies, and the Dao of the world circulated, with a large sect established, using this sword energy as the foundation of their school.

Talents sat at different distances based on their strength, honing their own energy under the pressure of the sword energy, allowing exterior spirit energy to surge in, refining it into higher purity spirit energy and magical power. Some cultivators emanated their Spirit Sense to combat the sword energy, rapidly growing even as they spat blood.

“Every island here carries the status of the Luo Dynasty’s Qilin Rankings, assisting geniuses to rise rapidly. The dragons and phoenixes born in a land can soar through the nine skies; the Heavenly Continent is indeed on a different level from the other continents!”

Yun Ye calculated, discovering that the Heavenly Continent had Qilin Rankings from the spiritual realm to the True Realm. The geniuses of this continent have a stark contrast to those in the outside world.

Once these peerless geniuses reach the Honored Being realm, they will undoubtedly be among the strongest; if there were a list of Honored Beings in the Red Heaven realm, they would surely be on it.

“The Heavenly Continent stands in stark contrast to the Earth Continent; the two seem to have been in fierce combat, with intense competition and the air filled with sounds of fighting…”

Tomorrow looked up, her eyes filled with past shadows. As the spirit of the Dao Artifact, she could see the obsessions of humans without needing cultivation.

She too was struck by this environment; the two realms of heaven and earth have a special opposing relationship with fundamental conflicts that must yield a resolution.

The victor can obtain all they desire, stepping higher and higher.

Just now, by calculating, Yun Ye knew that even a seat among Honored Beings on the Heavenly Continent could be gained through slaughter.

The Heavenly Continent has a compulsion; those who ascend to the Dragon and Phoenix Rankings are invincible in the True Realm and can challenge Honored Beings; in this battle for authority, even if an Honored Being has heaven-defying strength, they will still be reduced to the True Realm and must compete with the True Dragons and True Phoenixes.

Though very few succeed in their challenges, the appeal of this system is enormous, driving the overall strength of the Heavenly Continent to steadily rise.

Because of this reason, all super geniuses from the entire Red Heaven realm see the Heavenly Continent as their goal; anyone who becomes invincible in their own realm, motivated super geniuses will head to the Heavenly Continent to vie for that nearly supreme position among the Honored Beings!

In these circumstances, the Heavenly Continent will only grow stronger, surpassing the other continents by an entire era.

Yun Ye activated the Future Spirit Law, viewing the future time and space, as his clone traversed the Heavenly Continent.

He discovered that the competition in the Heavenly Continent was indeed intensely brutal; it could be said to require one to be unscrupulous to solidify their own position.

The competition Yun Ye experienced during the Luo Dynasty hardly compared to this.

Here, every area utilized resources to the utmost; only those with noble background, talent, sect affiliation, and superior strength can obtain resources, while everyone else is left with nothing, completely squeezed to the limit.

After all, once the time comes, they will be sent to the battlefield of heaven and earth, with life and death beyond their control; there is no room for comfort—improving even a little is vital.

Yun Ye experienced the battlefield of heaven and earth in the future time and space and concluded: it is indeed possible to rise through this, but it is overwhelmingly cruel.

In combat on the battlefield of heaven and earth, achievements are recorded by Dao artifacts, overshadowed by the rules of slaughter laid down by the World God, blessed by the powers left behind by Supreme Rulers.

In the Heavenly Continent, where resources are absolutely monopolized, this is the only path to rise, yet 99% will fall along the way.

“The two realms of heaven and earth…”

Yun Ye took several steps, covering a long distance, and arrived at his destination.

It was a boundlessly vast and infinitely quiet place.

A waterfall descending from the sky froze in the air, resembling a galaxy, with rainbows shining and a crescent moon hanging in the night sky. Even the Fourth Heaven could not obscure it; beside this crescent were numerous scattered fragments, remnants from something that destroyed the old moon and froze time here.

There were numerous buildings, palaces, displaying traces of human existence.

Everywhere had land fragments, each featuring peaks, swamps, lakes, and various miraculous sights. These fragments varied in height, some leaning, others completely upside down, suggesting that someone had shattered part of the Heavenly Continent, and in the process of its fall, time was frozen, creating this super forbidden area, the Still Sea.

“…”

Yun Ye landed in the Still Sea, where countless demons dwelled outside, including top-tier demon races that mastered the power of time.

They survived in the periphery of the Still Sea, absorbing its power, and naturally, there was no lack of human presence; a large number of cultivators hunted demons here, exploring the Still Sea.

Though the Still Sea has existed for hundreds of thousands of years and its origins are immeasurable, it buried numerous relics and ancient treasures; under special circumstances, they could be retrieved, and with the Heavenly Continent being so powerful, there are always some individuals resistant to time.

These people, driven by profit, gathered at the edge of the Still Sea, gradually multiplying and forming one of the top powers of the Heavenly Continent…

The Celestial Light Dao Sect.

Possessing the inheritance of the Royal Path, it could be called either a Dao Sect or a Royal Dynasty. No one in the Celestial Light Dao Sect has yet become a Monarch, but it is said that ten thousand years ago, they formed a connection with the future Path Lord, acquiring part of the inheritance from the future Celestial Empire.

Moreover, it has a long history, having risen and fallen but never reaching its peak, yet it indeed has strength.

After obtaining the inheritance from the Celestial Empire, the Celestial Light Dao Sect, over several thousand years, though it does not dare to call itself a celestial clan sect, has no problem being referred to as a Dao Dynasty.

The Celestial Light Dao Sect even had a Path Lord who dominated the world a thousand years ago, only narrowly losing to the Spirit Monarch, once being unmatched and undefeated in the Heavenly Continent.
