Chapter 329: Realm War

The great change in the Artifact Saint Palace caused the landscape south of the capital to undergo earth-shaking changes.

The former Artifact Saint Palace ruins—the Artifact Refining Workshop—was just one of many markets in the southern city district of the capital. After the Artifact Saint Palace's protective formation was destroyed, the sealed space was broken open, allowing all the mountains and rivers that had been folded due to the realm's perishing to unfold.

Now, the Artifact Refining Workshop is gone, three-quarters of the southern city area is gone, and the Nancheng Gate was torn apart due to the space unfolding. All the way south is a flat, desolate land.

High in the sky, Hua Changxi, Seeing Tong Yao, Jing Le, and Yan Zhenzhen stood on the deck of the flying ship, overlooking the greatly changed land below.

Yan Zhenzhen: "This great change in the Artifact Saint Palace is not all bad. At least it lets people know the approximate area of the heart of the Central Continent—Xuanyuan City."

Seeing Tong Yao nodded: "Xuanyuan City backs onto the Central Holy Land, and the four directions of east, west, south, and north are guarded by the four holy lands of Dan, Artifact, Rune, and Array. Judging from the southern area we flew over, the area of Xuanyuan City is at least a thousand times the area of the capital."

Yan Zhenzhen smiled: "I can't wait to see the full picture of Xuanyuan City. I really hope the four holy lands will quickly break the sealed space."

Jing Le quickly said: "The sealed space cannot be broken at will."

Yan Zhenzhen: "I know, I know, I'm just looking forward to it."

Hua Changxi listened silently to the conversation of the three, without making a sound.

Xuanyuan City? It should be the name of the capital in the ancient times.

Seeing Tong Yao smiled and said: "I heard that Xuanyuan City is not the largest immortal cultivation city in the Four Spirits Realm."

Hua Changxi and Yan Zhenzhen both looked over.

Seeing Tong Yao continued: "The main continents of the Four Spirits Realm are the four continents. The central cities of the four continents are naturally above the Central Continent."

"The central cities of the four continents are all named after the continents they represent, which are Qinglong City, Zhu Que City, Xuan Wu City, and Bai Hu City."

"These four Four Spirits Cities all connect to the Nine Heavens."

Hua Changxi couldn't help but speak: "Then what about Xuanyuan City? Does Xuanyuan City connect to the Nine Heavens?"

Seeing Tong Yao shook his head: "Although Xuanyuan City does not connect to the Nine Heavens, the Divine Woods of the five great holy lands connect. The five great holy lands connect to the five heavenly gates of the Nine Heavens respectively."

Hua Changxi asked again: "What about the four Four Spirits Cities? Do they also connect to the heavenly gates?"

Seeing Tong Yao: "The Four Spirits Cities do not connect to the heavenly gates, but to the Four Directions Emperor Palaces."

Hua Changxi was curious: "What exactly is above the Nine Heavens?"

Seeing Tong Yao shook his head and said: "My understanding of the Nine Heavens is limited to matters related to the Realm Gate."

This was because an Artifact Saint Palace senior in the ancient times accidentally got an opportunity to go to the Nine Heavens to repair the Realm Gate, and left a few words in his travel notes, which he happened to see.

Jing Le suddenly said: "There is a Realm War battlefield."

Hearing this, Hua Changxi, Seeing Tong Yao, and Yan Zhenzhen all looked over.

Seeing Tong Yao frowned: "Is it the kind of Realm War I'm thinking of?"

Jing Le nodded: "It is the kind you are thinking of."

"The perishing of a realm is nothing more than two reasons: one is the exhaustion of the realm's resources; the second is the invasion of foreign enemies."

"The Four Spirits Realm possesses the accompanying Sun Star and Moon Star. As long as there is no large-scale leakage of spiritual energy, theoretically, resources will not be exhausted."

"According to the ancient books of the Rune Saint Pavilion, the reason why the Four Spirits Realm perished in the ancient times was because the struggle between the human race and the demon race was too intense, which attracted the covetousness of strong enemies, and finally, at the cost of the death of the Four Spirits Emperor, the realm was forcibly sealed."

Listening to this, the expressions of the three—Hua Changxi, Seeing Tong Yao, and Yan Zhenzhen—were all a bit serious.

Hua Changxi couldn't help but say: "In the current Four Spirits Realm, there are already outside cultivators mixed in. You all know this, right?"

Seeing Tong Yao nodded: "I know. After the spiritual energy recovered, the realm wall loosened, and outside cultivators sneaked into the Four Spirits Realm through various secret realms."

"Because the time of sneaking in was too early, the Four Spirits Realm had already begun to recover, but the spiritual energy was very thin. Those outside cultivators who failed to leave the Four Spirits Realm in time for various reasons chose to settle down in the Four Spirits Realm and developed into immortal cultivation families; some chose to open sects and recruit disciples."

"Some of the more active immortal cultivation families and sect disciples today have the shadows of outside cultivators behind them."

Speaking of this, Seeing Tong Yao sighed: "After hundreds of years of development, outside cultivators have become deeply bound to the residents of the Four Spirits Realm, which can be described as you having me and me having you."

"It is very difficult to track the identities of outside cultivators."

Yan Zhenzhen also sighed: "I hope outside cultivators will discover the Four Spirits Realm a little later, so that the cultivators of the Four Spirits Realm can have more time to grow."

Jing Le looked up at the firmament, showing a look of compassion: "The Four Spirits Realm is one of the few realms in the universe that can be self-sufficient. Other realms would be lucky to give birth to one Emperor, but the Four Spirits Realm supports four Emperor positions. Such a realm, even if sealed, is still coveted."

"Now that spiritual energy has recovered... perhaps, in places we can't see, someone is already fighting for the Four Spirits Realm." ===== CHAPTER 330 =====
