Canghao Realm, Canghao Continent.
This vast world was the initial birthplace of wisdom creatures.
It is also the absolute core of this grand world.
The landmass of the continent itself is incredibly expansive, exceeding the combined area of tens of thousands of Immortal Cultivation Worlds.
Such a large spherical world, if it were in the technological world of Blue Star, would likely flatten all mortals due to gravity.
But within this self-contained grand world, just as the Sea of Void is not the Star Sea.
No matter how large the Canghao Continent is,
the cultivators and mortals living on the continent experience the same gravity and temperature differences as those in smaller worlds.
If there is any significant difference,
it might be that the concentration of spiritual energy on the Canghao Continent is richer, supporting a countless number of Grotto Heavens and Blessed Lands capable of nurturing a sect from the Returning to Void stage.
It very much fits the small worlds’ imagination of the Immortal Realm.
In fact, within the ocean of space-time, grand worlds often swallow several or even dozens of Small Thousand Worlds into the Sea of Void within their bodies to form their own realm.
However, this is not erosion, but more like a cooperative relationship.
Small Thousand Worlds gain the protection of the grand world, allowing them to survive their vulnerable and helpless phases.
The grand world, in turn, benefits from the resources of the Small Thousand Worlds.
Even though Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are dispensable to the grand world, what truly matters are the Unparalleled Geniuses.
That’s why those small worlds all have concepts like the Heaven-Ascending Path and Crossing Tribulation and Ascending to Immortality.
Actually, seen from a higher perspective, it is just a leap from the small world to the core continent of the grand world, known as the Immortal Realm in the mouths of others.
In the past, the Canghao Realm also had its own realm of Small Thousand Worlds clusters.
But as the entire grand world was swallowed by the Mother Goddess, entering the Dark Void,
The Small Thousand Worlds of the Canghao Realm were also released, forming an asteroid belt surrounding the Canghao Continent.
And by this formed some kind of world consciousness network.
It allowed the expansion of spatial shelter to be supported not only by the consciousness of the grand world but also by the consciousness of those Small Worlds turned into asteroids.
Upon entering the Canghao Continent,
Su Ping appeared in a temple outside a small city of mortals with abundant Incense Fire.
Accompanying Su Ping’s flash of golden light, he appeared in the temple’s side chamber.
And saw that three elderly monks were already kneeling there to welcome him.
Su Ping was not surprised; the heads and elders of the temple were secret agents left by the Heavenly Tathagata.
They were naturally here to greet Su Ping, the True God’s Agent.
Su Ping paid them no attention and first took a few light breaths of air.
Even in a mortal city,
the concentration of spiritual energy still reached that of a Second Tier Spirit Vein workshop.
Mortals growing up in such an environment, even without a Spirit Root, could easily possess a physical constitution and vitality equivalent to a Grandmaster Martial Artist in their adulthood.
For those Loose Cultivators with inferior Spirit Roots unable to enter a sect, Foundation Establishment was still problematic.
But for Qi Cultivation levels below Foundation Establishment, it wasn’t necessary to consume Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to progress step by step.
Curious about such a resource-rich cultivation environment,
Su Ping didn’t ask questions and directly probed into the Divine Thought of these seemingly monk-like Evil Cultivators.
The situation he understood made Su Ping slightly surprised.
There had been considerable changes in the Canghao Realm over these past thousands of years.
Perhaps the consciousness of the grand world also sensed a threat.
After a calamity involving Evil Demons that seemed to be related to the Heavenly Tathagata was quelled,
on Canghao Continent, a young monarch in a mortal kingdom emerged unpredictably.
In just a hundred years, that monarch led his subjects to overcome the sect that originally governed their kingdom,
and established the first dynasty on the Canghao Continent that was independent of other sects: Dacang!
Thereafter, as if on a roll, that monarch grew ever stronger when facing the powerful,
and his influence snowballed, increasing rapidly in size.
It took only two hundred years to bring one-third of the Canghao Continent under his dynasty’s domain.
Such that even the top sects where the Old Ancestors of Repairing the Heavens resided were alerted.
To the surprise of many sects, however,
those top sects did not suppress the young monarch but instead reached an agreement with him.
Thus, for the following hundred years, at least nominally, the entire Canghao Continent came under the jurisdiction of the Dacang Dynasty.
Meanwhile, this Dacang Dynasty also changed its name to the Dacang Immortal Dynasty a hundred years ago.
That unparalleled Emperor of the Canghao Realm also held a coronation ceremony proclaiming to the entire Canghao Realm.
He styled himself as Emperor Canghao!
From then on, the main peaks of the Returning to Void sects all relocated to various asteroids outside the Canghao Continent.
Usually taking over an entire asteroid as a sect’s foundation.
And they only left branches on the Canghao Continent primarily for recruiting disciples.
Making it clear that they would not oppose the Emperor,
After the sects of Returning to Void willingly conceded, only the sects of Divinity Transformation and those with Nascent Soul level and below could follow suit and submit.
Accepting the leadership of Emperor Canghao,
They had to contribute Divine Skills and secret techniques from their sects’ lineage and regularly pay tribute with precious resources from their Grotto Heavens and Blessed Lands.
Often, they also had to send excellent Disciples of the sect to join the court.
If it was so for Cultivators, the Mortal World could not escape the influence either.
In every mortal city on Canghao Continent, every household would have a portrait of Emperor Canghao displayed.
And in the ancestral halls of wealthy families, there were certainly shrines for Emperor Canghao.
Even this temple that Su Ping was in, which by rights belonged to some great Buddhist Sect’s influence,
