Chapter 2280: The Three Realms Are at the Height of the Nine Heavens

The Yu Yu Yu Xianmen envoy fleet entered the Horse Star Domain, was received by the Weizi Imperial Guard, and flew toward the Purple Forbidden Star Domain, step by step entering the heart of this supreme Xian Dao nation.

The fleet passed through one star domain transfer array after another, passed through one great thousand-world cluster after another, and saw all kinds of exotic scenery.

After years of travel, when passing through a cluster of middle thousand worlds, Cheng Zhen suddenly said: "Your Highness the Prince, may we visit one or two mortal realms so that we mortals may pay respects to the awe-inspiring Xian Dao wisdom of Your Majesty, lest our lives be in vain?"

"Cheng Zhen Daoist, Yu Yu Yu Xianmen and the Weizi Imperial House are eternal allies; you need not be so polite."

"You may go wherever you wish; act as you please."

A quasi-emperor holding the title of Heavenly Court Prince smiled warmly: "We are all our own people; certainly do not regard yourselves as strange guests, or even as prisoners under guard, but treat yourselves as family."

"If you continue being this polite, Daoist, I may well grow angry."

He feigned displeasure.

Unlike the usual superficial courtesies, this quasi-emperor of the Weizi household was genuinely full of goodwill, feeling deep affection for the distant Yu Yu Yu Xianmen cultivators who had arrived.

This was naturally due to the Supreme Sun Sword Immortal Maiden.

This human sword immortal maiden shares deep ties with the Weizi royal clan; their friendship can even be traced back to the ancestor Weizi Cheng at the end of the Myriad Laws Immortal Dynasty, when the attainment of the Supreme Sun Sword Dao had some contribution from this ancestor.

Furthermore, within the Dao Court, the Weizi royal branch likewise received preferential treatment.

This means that, regardless of victory or defeat, aside from a very few individuals, the entire Weizi royal clan is free from worry and will not suffer large-scale slaughter.

This is a retreat.

Given these reasons, any Weizi royal cultivator, unless facing extremely intense conflict of interest or having lost their wits, will not make things difficult for Yu Yu Yu Xianmen cultivators.

Even if such a fool truly exists, the entire Weizi royal household will swiftly deal with them.

"... I see."

"Sorry, Your Highness the Prince, this is my fault."

Cheng Zhen keenly felt the profound goodwill of this quasi-emperor before him, and spoke with shame.

"Hahaha..."

The Weizi quasi-emperor laughed heartily.

The estrangement between the two sides unknowingly dissipated somewhat.

The reserve of many Yu Yu Yu Xianmen cultivators lessened considerably.

Amid laughter, the Yu Yu Yu Xianmen envoy fleet departed from the great thousand worlds, arbitrarily chose a direction among the middle thousand-world clusters, flew onward, after some time passed through a stretch of somewhat prolonged dead star void, and began approaching a minor thousand world, even able to see the mortals, qi-refining cultivators, and qi-refining demon cultivators within that minor thousand world.

Instantly, an extremely dangerous aura arose in the hearts of Cheng Zhen and the other Yu Yu Yu Xianmen powerhouses, causing their expressions to shift slightly.

Merely approaching any minor thousand world was enough to draw such a lock-on; the myriad clans' heavenly court…… no, this is the Dao Court's designation, but in their own designation, they themselves are the heavenly court.

The heavenly court's control over its territory is far stricter than the Yu Yu Yu Xianmen had estimated.

"Cheng Zhen Daoist, this is the heavenly court's grand formation over the mortal realm."

The Weizi prince deliberately did not warn them beforehand, waiting until they personally experienced it before speaking sternly: "The separation of immortals and mortals is the heavenly court's iron law; none may violate it!"

"You may have read of it in previous jade slips, but the true separation of immortals and mortals is far stricter than that."

Read ten thousand volumes, travel ten thousand miles.

This prince has shown great concern for the Yu Yu Yu Xianmen cultivators, carefully arranging every leg of the journey, hoping they might better integrate into the heavenly court.

"We understand!"

Cheng Zhen said sincerely.

He dared not move forward, merely gazing with his eyes upon the myriad beings of the world.

In the minor thousand world there are Dao palaces, sects, imperial courts, incense temples, and a scene of harmonious coexistence among human, ghost, god, and demon cultivators; the scholarly seeds, divine seeds, and talented ones among mortals and demons are repeatedly screened, each sent to Dao palaces, spirit shrines, and other educational institutions, followed by limited warfare and slaughter.

Those cultivators who emerge victorious from these limited wars will ascend to the heavenly court; excellent spirits go to the western heavenly court, and after these two screenings, the remaining spirits go to the underworld.

"This is an extremely efficient talent cultivation system."

"In the vast Xian Dao industry, the grassroots practitioners born in this process flow endlessly, with selection efficiency even comparable to that of the Supreme Sun Dao Court……"

Cheng Zhen's heart trembled; he silently said.

Numerous Yu Yu Yu Xianmen cultivators conducted prolonged on-site inspections, especially examining the shadowy underworld reception point in the dark aspect of the minor thousand world for a long time, before continuing their journey.

The Yu Yu Yu Xianmen envoy fleet continued sailing.

Along the way they passed through one star domain after another, one great thousand world after another, even entering a realm of the underworld's cycle, where in that star domain full of ghosts and ferocious ghosts, beside the Yellow Spring River, they transferred, then continued their journey.

Underworld, mortal realm, heavenly court.

Though clearly within the same boundless star void, here it feels like three clearly separated worlds, isolated by some transcendent existence; this isolation harbors an extremely terrifying secret.

"Nine Heavens."

"It must be the Nine Heavens……"

Cheng Zhen, one of the foremost Xian Dao scientists in Yu Yu Yu Xianmen, immediately sensed something keenly.

These three realms, though appearing to exist within the same boundless star void, are actually situated at different heights of the Nine Heavens: the underworld is lowest, the mortal realm next, and the heavenly court stands at the highest of the Nine Heavens, able to to some extent look down upon the mortal realm's beings and watch the passage of mortal ages.

Thus, after stopping and going, the Yu Yu Yu Xianmen envoy fleet sailed for nearly a hundred years before finally arriving near the Purple Forbidden Star Domain.

"Purple Forbidden……"

Many Yu Yu Yu Xianmen cultivators showed looks of longing.

This is the center of the boundless star void, the most prosperous land under heaven.

"Cheng Daoist, do not rush to pay homage to Your Majesty."

"Follow me first to your fiefdoms to inspect them, take over those fiefdoms, and if you have any dissatisfaction with your fiefdoms, just tell me; I can make one or two adjustments for you, Daoist……"

The Weizi prince said with a smile.

"Fiefdoms?"

Cheng Zhen frowned slightly.

"Hahaha!"

"Generally speaking, sects and families all have one or two fiefdoms."

"Of course, even in the fief, one must still obey all the heavenly court's immortal laws. Within the fief, one may recruit disciples and servants, freely mine, establish factories and immortal Dao industrial zones, and so on—these are the foundation of the family."

Prince Weizi explained: "Your Majesty, you have already bestowed upon us the Yu Yu Yu Xianmen Star Domain Fifty-Four. If properly managed, it should in the future become our foundation."

"If you fellow Daoists should in the future establish new merits, perhaps more star domains will be granted."

"Fifty-four star domains as private property?"

Cheng Zhen and the other Yu Yu Yu Xianmen Xiu Shi felt a slight tremor in their hearts.

This is indeed a grand gesture—vast quantities of heavenly treasures and earthly riches have been hurled our way. This Wan Fa True Immortal Maiden truly possesses the bearing of a sovereign; in this regard, she is never stingy.

From today onward, this place should be the home of this lineage of Yu Yu Yu Xianmen civilization's seed.
