Chapter 610: Ten Billion Great Thousand Worlds, the Absolute Hegemon of the Mortal World

"Hmm? Is this a Dream World Mark?"

"With this Dream World Mark, one can log into the Dream World."

"In this way, no matter which world one is in, one can communicate through the Dream World."

"And this is also an important reason why the Xuanhuang Sect can rule countless worlds."

"Whenever something happens in any world, it will be known at the very first moment."

Lu Tianze looked at the Dream World Mark on his hand.

He sensed that such a Dream World Mark had basically existed since he was born; everyone possessed one.

Moreover, it was integrated with his Soul, making it impossible to shake off.

As long as one moved their consciousness, they could easily enter the Dream World.

To be honest, such a means of communication was simply unfathomable, and incredibly convenient.

Even in the Immortal World, there was no such convenient means of communication.

"According to rumors, this is the power of an Artifact mastered by the Xuanhuang Sect Master, Xuanhuang Daoist."

"Everyone can borrow the power of this Artifact to communicate with each other."

"But to be able to carry the information of countless living beings, it must be at least a King-grade Immortal Artifact."

"What kind of background does this Xuanhuang Daoist have to have mastered an Immortal Artifact of this level?"

Lu Tianze was filled with wonder.

He had only just awakened his memories, yet he immediately discovered the extraordinary nature of the Xuanhuang Sect.

No wonder the Xuanhuang Sect could easily dominate the entire Mortal World; it turned out they had mastered the power of many Immortal Artifacts.

I am afraid those Immortals who descended to the mortal realm were exposed in this exact way.

Any existence without a Dream World Mark on their body is basically impossible to be a living being of the Mortal World.

Now, the entire Mortal World has been forged by the Xuanhuang Sect like an iron bucket, with no gaps to be found.

Only by reincarnating into the Mortal World and starting from scratch is it possible to sneak into the Mortal World silently.

Otherwise, the moment one descends to the mortal realm, they would likely be detected by Xuanhuang Sect Cultivators.

Then they would be captured, and it would be impossible to escape ever again.

"But the power of the Dream World is not just limited to this."

"It can actually detect various data on one's own body."

"Thereby forming a Virtual Panel."

"In this way, everyone can know their own cultivation progress."

"Without a doubt, this is absolutely the top-tier auxiliary ability."

"No wonder after so many years, the Xuanhuang Sect has always stood firm in the Mortal World, becoming an invincible hegemon."

Lu Tianze moved his consciousness and immediately opened his Virtual Panel, and then he saw the various data on his body; it was simply exhaustive, with nothing missing.

This was the first time in his life he had seen his various abilities so clearly.

If he had mastered this ability in the past, his foundation would likely have been even more solid.

His speed of ascending to a True Immortal would also have been much faster.

Without a doubt, Xuanhuang Sect Cultivators who received the assistance of the Dream World all progressed in their cultivation with incredible speed.

But even so, after thirty million years, not a single one has been able to ascend to the Immortal World; this is truly mind-boggling.

Clearly, the Heavenly Court's suspicion is quite correct.

The Xuanhuang Sect must have mastered a method to smuggle people into the Immortal World; otherwise, after so many years, it would be impossible for not a single person to have become an Ascender and ascended to the Immortal World.

"It seems there is also an intelligent being in the Dream World named Book Immortal."

"It is said that Book Immortal is simply a know-it-all of the mortal realm; there is nothing it does not know."

"Any Xuanhuang Sect Cultivator will use Book Immortal to learn all kinds of intelligence."

"Book Immortal can even act like a teacher, answering questions and resolving doubts for every Xuanhuang Sect Cultivator."

"It is equivalent to carrying a top-tier teacher with you, ready to answer all kinds of questions at any time."

Lu Tianze did not know what to say.

He felt that the existence of the Dream World and Book Immortal was simply a blessing for countless Xuanhuang Sect Cultivators.

If it were in the Immortal World, this would be a privilege only a True Disciple could possess.

For ordinary Disciples, it would be impossible to obtain such an auxiliary ability.

Yet in the Mortal World, everyone can obtain such an ability; it is truly too exaggerated.

He did not even know what kind of thinking that Xuanhuang Daoist had.

To actually be willing to let everyone use the power of an Immortal Artifact is simply mind-boggling.

"But this is also a good thing; perhaps I can use the power of Book Immortal to help me better understand the Xuanhuang Sect."

Lu Tianze felt that Heaven was helping him.

Originally, if he wanted to understand the Xuanhuang Sect, he would need to ask other Cultivators.

But doing so would carry the risk of exposure; the more he said, the more likely he would be exposed.

But asking Book Immortal is different.

This is merely a basic ability of an Immortal Artifact.

As long as he is a little careful, he will not expose his tracks as a Reincarnated Immortal.

Thereby minimizing the risk of his exposure to the greatest extent.

"Lord Book Immortal, I would like to know the current map of the Xuanhuang Sect in the Mortal World."

Lu Tianze moved his consciousness and immediately summoned Book Immortal.

"Alright, no problem."

"The map of the Xuanhuang Sect's Mortal World will be presented before you."

Suddenly, a mechanical voice rang out, and immediately after, a vast map of the Mortal World appeared deep within his sea of consciousness, displaying points of light representing each Great Thousand World.

Their respective locations and the vast distances between them were all marked out.

It was simply like a massive galactic map.

To be honest, Lu Tianze was completely stunned; he had never imagined that the Mortal World was actually this vast.

In terms of surface area, it was not the least bit inferior to the Immortal World, which was truly too exaggerated.

"However, the development of the Xuanhuang Sect is also too exaggerated."

"It actually really unified the entire Mortal World."

"Even the Three Thousand Great Worlds of the past are now under the rule of the Xuanhuang Sect."

"Such a power is something even the Five Great Super Races cannot compare to."

"No wonder no matter how many immortals descend to the mortal realm, it is to no avail."

"The Xuanhuang Sect, which occupies so many worlds, is simply an abyssal behemoth."

"No matter how many immortals come, that many immortals will die; they simply cannot stir up any waves."

Lu Tianze continued to browse the memories deep within his sea of consciousness.

Without a doubt, this reincarnation body of his had received a complete education from the Xuanhuang Dao Academy and had also obtained the history of the Xuanhuang Sect's development over the past thirty million-plus years.

Verifying the information instilled by the Book Immortal gave him a clear understanding of the Mortal World.

Ever since the Xuanhuang Sect unified the Mortal World, its sphere of influence had been expanding continuously.

At the beginning, the Mortal World only appeared to have three thousand Great Thousand Worlds.

But as time passed, Xuanhuang Sect Cultivators continuously delved deep into the Void, searching for Great Thousand Worlds scattered throughout the Void; to date, they have occupied at least over ten billion Great Thousand Worlds.

As for the number of Middle Thousand Worlds and Small Thousand Worlds, they are countless.

To be honest, he never imagined that there were so many Great Thousand Worlds in the Mortal World.

Originally, he thought that the Mortal World only consisted of three thousand Great Thousand Worlds.

Without a doubt, all the immortals in the Immortal World had underestimated the vastness of the Mortal World.

"How can there be so many Great Thousand Worlds in the Mortal World?"

"Wasn't it said that there were only three thousand Great Thousand Worlds?"

Lu Tianze couldn't help but ask, because this was completely different from his common knowledge; it seemed that after thirty million years, the development of the Mortal World had exceeded imagination, a change as drastic as the seas turning into mulberry fields.

If he hadn't reincarnated into the Mortal World, he wouldn't have known it had become like this; it was truly incredible.

"That was already a matter from over thirty million years ago."

"In fact, the Mortal World has always contained a vast number of Great Thousand Worlds."

"The reason only three thousand Great Thousand Worlds were famous is simply because they had been developed by ancient powers."

"Every once in a while, quite a few Ascenders from these Great Thousand Worlds would head to the Immortal World."

"As time went on, the beings of the Immortal World believed that the Mortal World only contained three thousand Great Thousand Worlds, but this was merely a misunderstanding."

"In fact, the Mortal World possesses an endless Void, containing countless Great Thousand Worlds."

"Unfortunately, the vast majority of these Great Thousand Worlds have not obtained complete inheritances and remain in the primitive era."

"Even with quite abundant resources, they are unable to develop."

"Because of this, the immortals of the Immortal World naturally could not know of these unknown Great Thousand Worlds."

The Book Immortal explained.

In fact, knowledge is a very important thing.

Even for a Great Thousand World, if it has not obtained high-level cultivation knowledge, then even if hundreds of millions, billions, or tens of billions of years pass, this world will not undergo any major changes.

It will remain in a primitive society.

Wanting to start from scratch and create a systematic and complete set of cultivation knowledge is simply too difficult.

The vast majority of worlds do not possess such a Destined Son.

Just like the Xuanhuang World of the past; if Changchun Daoist had not descended to the mortal realm and brought cultivation knowledge, I fear the Xuanhuang World would not have entered the cultivation era, the era of immortal cultivation.

It is estimated that even after another million years, the Xuanhuang World would still be incomparably weak, only able to struggle bitterly.

Those Great Thousand Worlds are the same.

Without obtaining inheritance from the Immortal World, without obtaining cultivation knowledge, this has led to the development of the natives of those Great Thousand Worlds being incomparably slow, as if stagnant.

But once the Xuanhuang Sect arrived at these primitive worlds and brought cultivation knowledge, the situation became completely different.

These Great Thousand Worlds began to develop rapidly.

Within a very short period of time, they stepped into the era of cultivation civilization and mastered powerful strength.

Of course, these worlds also became the territory of the Human Race, with a large number of Human Cultivators living and multiplying in these worlds.

"In other words, these Great Thousand Worlds existed all along."

"It was just the appearance of the Xuanhuang Sect that unearthed these Great Thousand Worlds?"

Lu Tianze said thoughtfully.

He felt that this indeed had a high probability; after all, before this, no one knew how big the Mortal World really was, only that the endless Void was vast and boundless.

But due to the lack of resources, it was simply not taken seriously by the Immortal World.

The immortals of the Immortal World would not put effort into developing the Mortal World.

After all, no matter how large a desert is, it cannot be inhabited, so such places have no meaning to humans.

For immortals, the Mortal World is actually the same.

"That's right, our Xuanhuang Sect has mastered the technology for cross-world teleportation."

"It can instantly jump across distances of hundreds of millions of kilometers."

"Even now, our Xuanhuang Sect has established a pioneer army to continuously penetrate deep into the Void and search for brand-new worlds."

"Up until now, we have only explored a portion of the Void."

"Before our Xuanhuang Sect appeared, every Great Thousand World was trapped within its own original world."

"Even a Great Vehicle Cultivator could not span the distance between two Great Thousand Worlds."

"This also resulted in there being no communication at all between worlds."

The Book Immortal continued.

Without a doubt, it was precisely because of the emergence of the Xuanhuang Sect that the Mortal World became so lively.

Numerous great worlds merged into one, and with the help of the power of the Dream World, they communicated with each other.

Even if they were separated by an incredibly vast distance, as long as they logged into the Dream World, they could chat face-to-face.

"So that's how it is."

Lu Tianze could not help but nod; there was no doubt that this was an important reason why the Xuanhuang Sect could become the hegemon of the Mortal World: they had mastered the technology of spatial jumping.

It was not just as simple as manufacturing a Cross-Boundary Teleportation Array; they had also manufactured spaceships capable of spatial jumping.

Relying on these spaceships, Xuanhuang Sect cultivators could continuously explore the countless worlds in the depths of the Void.

Over tens of millions of years, the territory controlled by the Xuanhuang Sect had also been constantly expanding.

Any world discovered by Xuanhuang Sect cultivators would fall under the control of the Xuanhuang Sect.

As time accumulated, the number of discovered Great Thousand Worlds also grew increasingly large.

"Of course, the reason why we conquered ten billion Great Thousand Worlds is not just because of that."

"In fact, the majority of the Great Thousand Worlds were not discovered by our Xuanhuang Sect cultivators."

"They were actually originally all Middle Thousand Worlds."

"It was only after being transformed by our Xuanhuang Sect that these Middle Thousand Worlds evolved one after another and ascended to become Great Thousand Worlds."

"That is why, over so many years, we have conquered ten billion Great Thousand Worlds."

The Book Immortal explained.

Without a doubt, even within the Endless Void, the number of Great Thousand Worlds is still extremely scarce.

The number of Great Thousand Worlds that are truly naturally gestated is pitifully small.

The vast majority of worlds are actually just Middle Thousand Worlds and Small Thousand Worlds.

However, the Xuanhuang Sect has mastered the power of the Evergreen Immortal Vine, which can split into countless vines.

Then, these clones of the Evergreen Immortal Vine are integrated into many Middle Thousand Worlds.

In this way, the fusion of numerous Middle Thousand Worlds can be promoted.

With the passage of time, one Great Thousand World after another is gestated.

It can be said that most Great Thousand Worlds are artificially created.

"They are actually artificially creating Great Thousand Worlds?"

"The Xuanhuang Sect has actually mastered technology to this degree?!"

Lu Tianze was dumbfounded and did not know what to say.

Even though he knew the Xuanhuang Sect must be quite extraordinary, he never expected it to reach this extent.

One must know that Great Thousand Worlds are naturally gestated.

To want to artificially create a Great Thousand World is almost an impossible task.

Even if it could truly be done, the resources required would be unimaginable, and it would be completely not worth the loss.

However, the fact that the Xuanhuang Sect has mastered a method to allow Middle Thousand Worlds to ascend is truly too exaggerated.

This is equivalent to reaping the greatest benefits with the smallest cost.

After all, the area and resources contained in a Great Thousand World are beyond what a Middle Thousand World can imagine.

It is equivalent to the gap between a Transformation God and a Great Vehicle Cultivator.

The gap between them is truly far too large.

"But why are Xuanhuang Sect cultivators so keen on exploring new worlds?"

"Given the current resources of the Xuanhuang Sect, they are fully qualified to cultivate a large number of cultivators."

"Ordinary cultivators probably wouldn't be willing to leave their superior cultivation environments."

"But even so, Xuanhuang Sect cultivators seem to flock to exploring new worlds?"

"Why is this exactly?"

Lu Tianze asked curiously, as he had keenly sensed this point.

After all, continuously exploring new worlds is in itself a thankless task.

Even if a brand-new world is truly discovered, one might not necessarily obtain much benefit.

Yet even so, numerous Xuanhuang Sect cultivators actually flock to this matter.

They would rather spend a large amount of time than stop exploring new worlds.

Without a doubt, there must be something in this that he does not know about.

"It's very simple. One very important reason why Xuanhuang Sect cultivators are so enthusiastic about exploring new worlds is that they want to become officials," the Book Immortal explained.

If it were any other Xuanhuang Sect cultivator who heard this question, they would certainly be suspicious of Lu Tianze's identity and background, but the Book Immortal did not have such taboos; like an intelligent program, it would only answer the questioner's questions.

It was just like Baidu.

No matter what the question was, it would treat it equally and would not have any suspicion.

"Become officials?"

"Why is this exactly? Could it be that there are benefits to becoming an official?"

Hearing this, Lu Tianze was completely stunned; no matter how much he strained his imagination, he could never have imagined that the reason so many Xuanhuang Sect Cultivators kept expanding into new worlds was actually to become officials.

Normally, as long as someone has stepped onto the path of cultivation, they basically have no interest in becoming an official.

Because once one becomes an official, they are entangled in administrative affairs, and the time that can truly be used for cultivation becomes very little.

In this way, it would instead delay their own cultivation, which is completely a case of the loss outweighing the gain.

But now it seems that Xuanhuang Sect Cultivators are extremely keen on becoming officials.

"Becoming an official naturally has immense benefits."

"Once you become an official, you can obtain an Official Seal refined by the Xuanhuang Sect."

"This Official Seal is infinitely profound; once refined, you can immediately become a Mortal Deity of a region."

"At that time, it is not just as simple as grasping the authority of a city; you will also receive the favor of Luck."

"Even if you are a Lower Grade Spirit Root, as long as you become an official, your cultivation speed will also increase several times over."

"The higher the rank of the official, the greater the magnitude of the cultivation boost."

"It is said that if a Cultivator with a Lower Grade Spirit Root becomes an Administrative Official of a Great Thousand World, then their cultivation speed can rival that of an Immortal Spirit Root, and they can become an immortal within a thousand years."

The Book Immortal said straightforwardly, stating the various benefits of being an official.

Among them, the greatest benefit is naturally the increase in cultivation speed.

"What? Becoming an official can actually gain the favor of Luck and increase cultivation speed?"

"No wonder so many Xuanhuang Sect Cultivators want to be officials."

Lu Tianze couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, feeling very shocked inside.

Clearly, this is a cultivation system unique to the Xuanhuang Sect.

It is just like a dynasty in the secular world.

Any official within the dynasty system will receive the favor of the dynasty's Luck.

Even if this official is incompetent, under the protection of the dynasty, they can still wield immense power.

And under the pouring of vast Luck, their cultivation base will also progress rapidly.

This is the so-called "it is easy to cultivate within the imperial court."

If he were not a Reincarnated Immortal, but an ordinary Human Cultivator of the Mortal World, he would probably be racking his brains to become an official.

"But what does this have to do with expanding into new worlds?"

Lu Tianze continued to ask.

"It's very simple; there are simply too many Human Cultivators in the Mortal World, it is practically endless."

"Almost every Human Cultivator wants to be an official and enjoy the protection of the sect's Luck."

"The problem is that in every world and every region, the number of officials is limited, and the Luck is also limited."

"It is the so-called 'one radish for one hole'."

"If this position is occupied by someone, then others shouldn't even think about getting it."

"Unless the other party dies by accident, or commits a major mistake and is dismissed, or ascends to the Immortal World."

"Otherwise, it is almost impossible for other Cultivators to obtain this position."

"So, many Xuanhuang Sect Cultivators thought of a way to increase the number of officials, and that is to expand into new worlds."

The Book Immortal explained.

"I understand, the number of officials in a Great Thousand World is limited."

"The official positions in the old worlds were long ago occupied by those with connections; for ordinary people to obtain such a position is just too difficult, it is almost an impossible thing."

"If one wants to wait for an official position to become vacant, they would probably have died of old age long ago; where would they have so much time?"

"But if they expand into a new world, then a large number of official positions will appear instantly."

"At that time, there will be a large number of official vacancies."

Lu Tianze understood the meaning in the Book Immortal's words instantly, and a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.

Before, he was still wondering why so many Xuanhuang Sect Cultivators were so proactive.

Even though tens of millions of years have passed, these Xuanhuang Sect Cultivators are still constantly searching for new worlds.

It seems as if discovering a new world is enough to obtain endless benefits.

Now it seems that these new worlds represent not just vast resources, but also a large number of official positions, and who knows how many Xuanhuang Sect Cultivators want to fill the vacancies.

Even a Cultivator with a Lower Grade Spirit Root, if they can become a Xuanhuang Sect official, can obtain vast protection from Luck.

Afterwards, even if they attain the Dao and become an immortal, there will be a high probability.

Therefore, numerous Xuanhuang Sect Cultivators naturally flock to this matter.

"Is this the unique cultivation system of the Xuanhuang Sect?"

"Could it be that the Xuanhuang Sect specializes in the Dao of Luck?"

"If this is the case, it is not hard to explain why the Xuanhuang Sect has become the hegemon of the Mortal World."

"I reckon that for the Xuanhuang Sect, collecting the infinite Luck between heaven and earth is their method of cultivation itself."

Lu Tianze's eyes flickered; he felt that he had gained a certain degree of understanding regarding some of the secrets of the Xuanhuang Sect.

No wonder the Xuanhuang Sect has a special fondness for conquering world after world; I reckon this is all to collect Mortal World Luck.

The problem is, no matter how much Luck is collected, it is only Mortal World Luck after all.

After arriving in the Immortal World, this Mortal World Luck will not have any effect.

It is just like a Son of Luck from the Mortal World; if they arrive in the Immortal World, they will also become indistinguishable from the masses.

Because such a Cultivator cannot obtain the protection of the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal World, naturally they will not have the same luck as in the Mortal World.

He felt that such an art of Luck could at most be used in the Mortal World.

It simply cannot influence the Immortal World.
