Thousands of years ago, the Realm Emperor was still just a youth,
he was fascinated by the power of space since childhood, often studying and simulating.
If one could control time and space, then creating a space with ease would be possible.
He referred to this as a realm.
Initially, the Realm Emperor’s idea was to create a world, but sadly, the difficulty of creating a world far exceeded his expectations.
Thus, he conceived of creating a realm that belonged solely to him.
This realm could be used to block attacks from others or trap them within.
If the realm was powerful enough, it could even imprison a person for life until death.
Embracing this notion, the Realm Emperor devoted his entire life to the study of realms.
It is said that at the peak of his power, the Realm Emperor could effortlessly bring forth millions of realms, unmatched by anyone.
Among his peers, breaking through his realm domains was extremely difficult.
The Realm Emperor rarely killed, but few people wished to be his enemy, for a single misstep could result in being trapped within a realm domain, possibly imprisoned for life.
Such loneliness was countless times more terrifying than death itself.
After the Realm Emperor achieved sainthood, he knew his lifetime achievements were ultimately limited and he might not be able to explore higher realms.
Therefore, he passed down the Taoist lineages in the Southern Domain, which today is known as the Holy Sect of the Realm Emperor, hoping that future generations would continue to carry the torch.
Regrettably, tens of thousands of years have passed, and the strongest practitioner in realm domains is still the Realm Emperor.
Even in the long river of ten thousand years, the Holy Sect of the Realm Emperor has not produced a second saint.
However, no matter how it’s said, the Holy Sect of the Realm Emperor still stands as a colossus, firmly established on this stretch of the Southern Domain.
About the Realm Emperor himself, rumors say he remains inside the Holy Sect of the Realm Emperor, having no interest in the material world and solely concentrating on cultivating his own realm domain, not emerging in the world.
Other rumors suggest that while he was cultivating an even higher tier of realm domain, he became trapped within his own creation, forever unable to leave.
Huohuang City is a great distance from Heavenly Realm City.
After the crowd had spent half a month in the Teleportation Array, they finally arrived at Heavenly Realm City.
Stepping out of the Teleportation Array, it was now noon, and the bustle and hustle of the city invigorated Xu Zimei’s spirits.
"Let’s grab something to eat first," Xu Zimei said to everyone.
Although he no longer needed to eat, the basic desire for food was still there.
The group found a fairly spacious inn and ordered a large table of dishes.
"I divide the training of the Demon Body into three stages," said Huangfu Xianyue while looking at Xu Zimei.
"The first stage is to use Mysterious Medicine with demonic properties to temper your body, allowing it to gradually adapt."
"But I don’t have any Mysterious Medicine with demonic properties," Xu Zimei responded.
"Do you have Spirit Stones? Inside the Heavenly Realm Pavilion in the city, we can find almost everything we need."
"I don’t have Spirit Stones either; I’ve always been quite frugal," replied Xu Zimei, shaking his head.
"Forget it, you can borrow my Spirit Crystals for now. Just remember to pay me back later," Huangfu Xianyue waved her hand and said.
Xu Zimei nodded with a smile.
After their meal, they prepared to take a look inside the Heavenly Realm Pavilion.
Positioned in the very heart of Heavenly Realm City, the Heavenly Realm Pavilion also stood as the most famous building there.
The shops jointly operated by the Holy Sect of the Realm Emperor and the Xiang Family nearly monopolized ninety-nine percent of the city’s business.
The majestic pavilion towered at the center of the street, its unique aura seeming to clash with the entire thoroughfare.
It was not opulent in gleaming gold, but its flying eaves and multistoried buildings were all finely crafted, giving an especially grand impression.
At the entrance, two outstandingly dressed women in red cheongsam-like outfits greeted guests with smiling faces.
"How about it, our Heavenly Realm City is incomparable to your Huohuang City, isn’t it?" Huangfu Hao said smugly.
"It’s not bad," Xu Zimei said, walking into the pavilion.
The space inside the pavilion was even more expansive, bustling with people coming and going, with numerous transparent cabinets placed all around.
In front of each cabinet, there were dedicated staff members introducing the items.
As soon as Xu Zimei entered, a rather attractive woman approached him.
She smiled at Xu Zimei, "Young master, what would you like to buy?"
"Some Demonic-attribute Mysterious Medicine," Xu Zimei replied.
"Do you have anything more specific?" the woman asked.
Huangfu Xianyue came from behind and handed a piece of paper to the woman, saying, "Just prepare the Mysterious Medicine on this list for me."
After looking at the paper, the woman smiled and said, "Please wait a moment."
Watching the woman leave, Huangfu Xianyue said to Xu Zimei, "Take a look around if you need anything, the time you spend off the mountain will be much less once you go to the Realm Emperor Holy Sect."
Xu Zimei nodded and prepared to look around with Jiuyou.
"Do you think, should I ask her about the Divine Body?" Jiuyou looked at Xu Zimei and asked.
"Do you really think a Demon Body and Divine Body can be developed through acquired means?" Xu Zimei said with a smile, shaking his head.
"Unless you can find an innate Battle Body, otherwise don’t even think about it. Anyone willing to help you must have an ulterior motive."
The two of them walked around the Heavenly Realm Pavilion. There was a variety of things here, but Xu Zimei didn’t need anything for the time being.
Just as the two were about to leave, they saw Huangfu Xianyue at the entrance apparently having some trouble.
A group of youths surrounded her, all dressed in blue robes. The leader’s robe was a deeper shade of blue.
A gray badge on the chest, the hem of the robe embroidered with silk edges of white clouds.
The leading youth seemed to be arguing and tugging at something with Huangfu Xianyue, who looked somewhat displeased but was enduring it.
"Should we go help?" Jiuyou asked.
"No need, but Huangfu Xianyue’s character shouldn’t be this timid, it’s quite interesting," Xu Zimei said with a smile.
As they were tussling, the woman from the Heavenly Realm Pavilion came down from the upper floor.
In her hands, she carried a red tray, upon which rested a Storage Ring.
"Young master, here are the Mysterious Medicines you requested. This Storage Ring is a gift from us," the woman said with a smile.
"The total is eighteen million Spirit Crystals. How will you be paying?"
Xu Zimei noticed when the woman brought the Storage Ring down from the upstairs, there seemed to be several guards watching from the sidelines.
"Hey, ready to pay?" Xu Zimei called out in Huangfu Xianyue’s direction.
The group of people instantly turned around, giving Xu Zimei varied looks.
Huangfu Xianyue took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, and walked over slowly.
She took out a purple card, and the woman’s face turned pale with shock; she hastily handed the Storage Ring to Xu Zimei.
Without mentioning the Spirit Crystals, she promptly backed away.
"Xianyue, who is he?" The youth stepped forward, looking at Xu Zimei with a hint of aversion, and asked.
"It’s none of your business. If you have nothing else, I will be returning to the sect," Huangfu Xianyue said.
