Chapter 215: Secret Realm Located in the Heavens
"Do you want to use the Reincarnation Mirror?"
Half an hour later, on the South Heaven Gate, Lu Xun saw Fu Xue again.
Fu Xue's attitude remained cold, yet there was a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"Yes, Teacher, I want to know if I am a reincarnated person."
Lu Xun said.
This matter was hard to find another excuse for, so Lu Xun simply spoke directly.
As long as I confirm I am not a reincarnated person, then there is a possibility to continue pursuing Fu Xue.
"Alright, I'll take you there."
Fu Xue fell silent for a few seconds, then agreed.
Using the Reincarnation Mirror once requires a lot of contribution points.
However, she also wanted to know whether Lu Xun was truly a reincarnated person.
She took out a flying vessel, activated it, and the two shot out of the South Heaven Gate, heading for the headquarters of the Northern Dipper Hall.
The Insect Clan's attack was still ongoing.
These Insect Clan members had been attacking for several months, their numbers seeming endless.
Recently, the momentum of the attack began to weaken, not as fierce as before.
But even if the Insect Clan stopped attacking, Lan Xing would still need considerable time to eliminate the impact brought by the insects.
Currently, the surface of Lan Xing is covered with insects, and the entire ecosystem has been greatly affected.
The flying vessel passed over one space fortress after another.
The number of space fortresses in Lan Xing's space is extraordinarily large.
These fortresses belong to different countries, together forming Lan Xing's entire defense system.
The more space fortresses a country possesses, the stronger its strength.
Among them, the Eastern space fortresses are the most numerous, radiating from above the Eastern territory to the surroundings, and even above the non-continent, over half of the space fortresses belong to the East.
"Heaven's Authority Fortress."
Two and a half hours later, Lu Xun discovered the Heaven's Authority Fortress he had visited before.
The flying vessel continued forward.
Not long after, another huge fortress appeared ahead.
Upon reaching that fortress, the flying vessel began to ascend.
"Above?"
Lu Xun looked upward.
The Northern Dipper Hall in the East can be called a colossal power, and this place can be called a paradise for martial cultivators.
The location of its headquarters is unknown to ordinary people.
Including Lu Xun.
At the extreme heights of the sky, there is no architecture at all.
Just as Lu Xun wondered, Fu Xue lightly raised her bare hand, her fingertips fluttering like butterflies, and a profound mystic technique was suddenly unleashed.
Instantly, the void ahead rippled like water, spreading wave after wave.
The flying vessel entered without hindrance, like a drop of water merging into a vast ocean, vanishing in an instant.
"A formation?"
Lu Xun, who was curious, suddenly saw his vision brighten.
Originally empty sky suddenly turned into a breathtaking scroll.
Countless floating islands hung like scattered pearls in the high sky; on the islands, green trees provided shade, flowers covered the ground, various ancient buildings were scattered in an orderly manner, and sunlight shone on the glazed tiles, making them sparkle.
White clouds wrapped around these islands like ribbons, and ten-thousand-foot waterfalls poured from the edges of the floating islands, resembling a galaxy hanging upside down, stirring up rainbows across the sky.
"Resembling the Milky Way falling from the nine heavens" now had a vivid annotation.
White cranes flew back and forth in the air, adding to the immortal aura.
Most amazingly, one could see rivers and lakes flowing in the air below, their water sparkling like mirrors, reflecting the clouds and islands above; it was so beautiful that one could hardly believe their eyes.
"Teacher, what place is this?"
Lu Xun asked in astonishment.
This place is truly beautiful, simply like a legendary fairyland.
"This is the Grand Void Secret Realm; among the Four Palaces and Six Halls, about half of their headquarters are located here."
Fu Xue said lightly.
"Grand Void Secret Realm?"
"Good grief, Lu Xun still thought this place was a concealed formation; little did he expect it to be a secret realm located in the heavens."
This secret realm is truly beautiful, its area extraordinarily vast, like a small world.
"Four Palaces and Six Halls... are most of their headquarters really here?"
Lu Xun thought.
The Four Palaces and Six Halls are the ten most famous powers in the East.
The Four Palaces refer to the Pure Void Palace, the Moon Palace, the Weaver Maiden Palace, plus a Dragon Palace.
The Six Halls are the Northern Dipper Hall, the Vermilion Bird Hall, the Black Tortoise Hall, the Azure Dragon Hall, the White Tiger Hall, plus a Kunlun Hall.
There are also some smaller forces named with "Palace," "Hall," or "Pavilion," which are not as famous as these ten powers.
Among them, the Northern Dipper Hall and the Pure Void Palace have the highest value, because these two forces have official backgrounds and many strong individuals.
As for the Vermilion Bird Hall, the Black Tortoise Hall, the Azure Dragon Hall, and the White Tiger Hall, their members are mostly specialists in cultivation.
For example, inside the Vermilion Bird Hall are all fire-system cultivators, both Immortal Cultivation and martial cultivators.
Black Tortoise Hall emphasizes strength and defense, White Tiger Hall emphasizes slaughter and conquest, Azure Dragon Hall emphasizes yin wood growth and transformation, inside there are many physicians.
Kunlun Hall is located on Kunlun Mountain to the west, mainly responsible for suppressing the western region, deterring some small neighboring countries.
And outside the Four Palaces and Six Halls, there is also a city.
That is Celestial Orb City.
Celestial Orb City is likewise a massive entity, gathering many of the finest talents.
For example, the finest alchemist in the east is in Celestial Orb City.
Likewise, Dangyang Dashi who can craft seventh-grade puppets is also in Celestial Orb City.
Celestial Orb City is rather special; many people from the Four Palaces and Six Halls also live in Celestial Orb City.
Among these, the Moon Palace among the Three Palaces likewise has a transcendent status, because it is located above the moon.
These ten forces, for ordinary cultivators, the difficulty to join is not small.
Take Beidou Hall for example,
Even if one becomes a low-level disciple inside, one still needs the strength of late-stage Third Realm.
This is also true for Qingbei students.
If it is an outside cultivator, often they need Fourth Realm.
Not all Fourth Realm cultivators are accepted; one must break through to Fourth Realm before age thirty-five, and also pass some examinations.
Like a Fourth Realm elder of the Chu family, don't even think about joining Beidou Hall.
Murong Zhan also finds it difficult to join.
So their choice is to develop in Rong Cheng, strengthen their own families, in order to give birth to outstanding descendants.
This is also the choice of the vast majority of ordinary-talent cultivators.
If one is incapable, then have more offspring; perhaps one day an outstanding descendant will be born.
Then, one can use the entire family's resources to elevate one's descendants even higher.
After joining Beidou Hall, the resources one actually obtains daily are not as many as those supported by some great noble families at home.
Beidou Hall certainly won't give you too many resources for free.
The benefit lies in opportunity!
In such great forces, there are martial techniques, cultivation methods, secret manuals, weapons, exclusive information, etc., that cannot be accessed outside.
And even more opportunities.
There are also some other benefits, for example, Beidou Hall disciples, when encountering danger in the Spirit Realm, can call for help via the Beidou Token.
This is something ordinary forces cannot compare to.
"Elder Fu."
Ahead appeared several cultivators wearing silver treasure robes, seemingly here to inspect.
"This is my disciple Lu Xun; I brought him here to see the world."
Seeing those cultivators look toward Lu Xun, Fu Xue lightly explained a sentence.
"Lu Xun?"
Several cultivators couldn't help but glance again, their eyes all showing astonishment.
Obviously, they had heard of Lu Xun's name.
"Elder, please enter."
They made way.
The flying vessel rushed into the Grand Void Secret Realm, flying toward a floating island.
That floating island, from afar, looks like a mountain floating in space; up close, one discovers its volume is truly huge.
The flying vessel did not fly directly to the peak, but flew to the mountainside, stopping on a plaza.
"Let's go, the Samsara Mirror is inside the Samsara Hall above; here there is a flight prohibition seal, so we can only walk on foot."
Fu Xue got off the flying vessel.
Seeing that, Lu Xun followed up, climbing the mountain together with her.
