Chapter 304: Sea of Bitterness, Dao Palace, Four Extremities, Dragon Transformation, Immortal Platform

The Desolate Ancient Sacred Land!

Invincible since ancient times, dominating the world, looking down upon all living beings!

This is the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body!

However, in this current era, the Sacred Body has become a useless body!

The Divine Wheel of Life is silent; the Bitter Sea is as hard as divine iron, steady as a rock, unshakable, fundamentally impossible to open, making cultivation impossible!

This is a useless body!

It is even inferior to an ordinary person!

Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and another classmate were brought to the Spirit Void Grotto-Heaven.

The remaining classmates were naturally divided among the other five great Grotto-Heavens.

With a total of thirteen people, excluding Ye Fan whose useless body cannot cultivate, assigning two to each Grotto-Heaven counts as fairly even!

Pang Bo was clearly being treated as an immortal seed for cultivation.

As for Ye Fan, he also went together with Pang Bo to visit the Spirit Void Grotto-Heaven as a guest.

An elder named Wu Qingfeng naturally began to explain so-called cultivation to Ye Fan and the others.

At the same time, he also began to explain the overall structure of the entire world to the two of them.

Where they were located was on a planet within the Beidou Star Domain named Burial Emperor Star!

Within Burial Emperor Star, it is further divided into: the Eastern Barren Lands, the Western Desert, the Southern Ridge, the Northern Plains, and the Central Region!

The location where Ye Fan and the others stood was within the Eastern Barren Lands!

The entire Eastern Barren Lands is also vast, divided into five regions.

The center is the Central Region, the west is the Western Region, the south is the Southern Region, the north is the Northern Region, and the east is the Eastern Region!

Ye Fan and the others were in the Southern Region of the Eastern Barren Lands!

Most crucially, every region is boundlessly vast, implausibly expansive; even for a cultivator to cross a single region is extremely difficult; even if one can travel ten thousand li in an instant, one would still need to fly non-stop for several decades to reach another region!

Therefore, if cultivators wish to travel far, they must rely on teleportation arrays to teleport across regions!

But this is only regarding the Eastern Barren Lands...

Wanting to go to other places, such as the Western Desert or Southern Ridge, one does not even know how much time it would consume...

Countless people seeing this were all utterly speechless!

"Good heavens, this world is somewhat large!"

"If a single region is this large, just how big is this entire Burial Emperor Star?"

"Incredible, simply incredible!"

"This is a bit like the Ten Earths of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths in the Perfect Realm; one Earth has three thousand Daozhou, ten Earths have thirty thousand Daozhou, and between one continent and another, the distance is unknowable..."

"Sigh, how can it be compared to the Perfect Realm? Although this Burial Emperor Star is vast, ultimately it still cannot compare to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!"

"Indeed, although it cannot compare to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, it can still be called a great world!"

Countless people discussed.

People from some worlds were even more shocked!

Too big...

This Burial Emperor Star is too big.

It is simply countless times vaster than their own worlds.

But some people did not care...

After all, although the Shrouding the Heavens World is large, it is not necessarily larger than their own worlds.

Just at this moment, within the Great Dao Golden List, the cultivation system of this Shrouding the Heavens World was finally revealed!

In this world, to cultivate, one must open the Bitter Sea!

Only after the Bitter Sea is opened can one proceed with cultivation...

And in this world, cultivation realms are divided into five major realms!

They are respectively: the Sea of Bitterness Secret Realm, the Dao Palace Secret Realm, the Four Extremities Secret Realm, the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, and the Immortal Platform Secret Realm!

Sea of Bitterness Secret Realm: This realm is further divided into four minor stages, cultivating the Wheel of Life, sublimating the physical body, and enhancing strength; the first minor stage is opening the Bitter Sea, the second minor stage is forming the Spring of Life, the third minor stage is building the Divine Bridge, and the fourth minor stage is reaching the Other Shore! Each minor stage can use "Divine Patterns" to refine a "tool"!

Dao Palace Secret Realm: Divided into five minor stages, requiring the cultivation of the five viscera: the Heart's Divine Treasury, the Liver's Divine Treasury, the Spleen's Divine Treasury, the Lung's Divine Treasury, and the Kidney's Divine Treasury. Depending on the cultivator's practice, the order also differs. It can give birth to Dao Palace Deities.

Four Extremities Secret Realm: Divided into four minor stages, requiring the cultivation of the four limbs: left arm, right arm, left leg, and right leg. Depending on the cultivator's practice, the order also differs. It initially involves the power of space; upon completing the cultivation of the four limbs, one reaches a realm where hands and feet connect heaven and earth, and every gesture embodies laws and mysterious arts.

Dragon Transformation Secret Realm: Divided into nine transformations, cultivating the spine from the tailbone to the cervical vertebrae; upon great completion, the spine manifests and transforms into a dragon!

Immortal Platform Secret Realm: Divided into six layers of heaven, cultivating the pure land within the brain, with one layer of heaven corresponding to one realm.

First Layer of the Immortal Platform Heaven: Divided into nine ranks, condensing powerful spiritual sense; this is the level of a Supreme Elder of a Sacred Land, with the peak called Half-Step Great Ability, possessing a lifespan of two thousand years.

Second Layer of the Immortal Platform Heaven: Called Great Ability, also divided into nine ranks, using spiritual sense to continuously open other treasures of the human body; this is the level of a Sacred Land Master, a Great Sect Patriarch, or an Imperial Dynasty Emperor, possessing a lifespan of three thousand years.

Third Layer of the Immortal Platform Heaven: Called King, also divided into nine ranks, severing one's own path clearly, with spiritual sense capable of covering an entire planet; a Perfected King has one foot stepping into the Saint Realm, called Half-Saint, possessing a lifespan of four thousand years.

Fourth Layer of the Immortal Platform Heaven: Called Saint, also divided into nine ranks, a sublimation of the level of life, entering the domain of laws, capable of destroying planets; there exists a Saint Realm barrier between this and Kings, and crossing realms to attack is impossible without divine prohibition, possessing a lifespan of six thousand years.

Fifth Layer of the Immortal Platform Heaven: Called Saint King, also divided into nine ranks, with an even deeper domain of laws, possessing a lifespan of seven thousand years.

Sixth Layer of the Immortal Platform Heaven: Called Great Saint, also divided into nine ranks, the limit of the Saint Dao law domain, where each minor step is comparable to the entire Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, possessing a lifespan of eight thousand years.

Above this, there are also the Quasi-Emperor and Emperor realms!

Quasi-Emperor: Also divided into nine layers of heaven, from first to ninth; each layer of heaven requires enduring one Quasi-Emperor Tribulation, re-cultivating the five major secret realms (that is, re-cultivating the Sea of Bitterness, Dao Palace, Four Extremities, Dragon Transformation, and Immortal Platform once more), progressing from profound to perfect! Sublimating the Saint Dao laws into Supreme Laws; at the ninth layer of heaven with the five major secret realms perfected, one possesses a lifespan of nine thousand years.

Emperor: One who has proven the Dao, also called Heavenly Venerable or Ancient Emperor. Achieving the Dao requires entering the ninth layer of heaven of the Quasi-Emperor realm, then enduring the Lei Jie; the physical body becomes crystal clear, the Primordial Spirit detaches, and a new Primordial Spirit is born. The great dragon of the spine rises upward, while the Immortal Platform Primordial Spirit descends downward; both forces combine, smelting together, the five major secret realms perfect and unite, transforming into a Dao Cocoon to nurture Imperial Dao laws. At this time, one fuses with the Universe Heavenly Heart Mark, proving the Dao as an Emperor. An Emperor's lifespan is ten thousand years; one can consume Immortality Medicine to live another life, but some heaven-defying Emperors can live a third or fourth life.

Between Emperor and Quasi-Emperor, there is also the special realm of Pseudo-Enlightenment and Zone Supremes!

Pseudo-Enlightenment: A false Emperor who achieved the Dao through an alternative path without merging with the Heavenly Heart Mark, generally appearing in eras where an Emperor exists in the world; the great dragon transformed from the spine enters the Immortal Platform, forming an Immortal Fetus, but since an achiever of the Dao already exists in heaven and earth, one cannot fuse with the Heavenly Heart Mark; weaker than an Emperor, but stronger than a ninth-layer Quasi-Emperor.

Forbidden Zone Supremes: Those who attained the Dao and, on the verge of death, slashed themselves to forcibly sever their connection with the Heaven's Will Mark, have fallen from the supreme Imperial Dao realm and no longer possess the combat power of a Great Emperor. They can undergo ultimate sublimation to briefly regain Great Emperor combat power, but will perish once the time expires.

This is the cultivation system of this Shrouding the Heavens World!

……

Yet, across The Myriad Heavens and Worlds, countless people witnessing this realm widened their eyes in shock, stood dumbfounded, and felt their scalps go numb!

"This, this, this…"

"Sea of Bitterness, Dao Palace, Four Extremities, Dragon Transformation, Immortal Platform? Isn't this the cultivation system opened up by Shi Hao?"

"Damn it, this world not only plagiarized the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin from the Perfect Plane, but even f***ing copied Shi Hao's cultivation realms?"

"Excessive, f***ing excessive, simply excessive!"

"Everyone, rein in your wise remarks; haven't any of you f***ing considered that this world is actually the Perfect Plane countless years later?"
