"So, the powerful beings in the Domain Realm have set rules that someone from the Domain Realm will come to your world to live and roam around for long periods. If someone from the Domain Realm sneaks through, if they behave, they might turn a blind eye.
If they act recklessly, they’ll be dealt with!"
Listening to Gu Qingyi, Chen Yan suddenly asked, "Is my old lady an inspector?"
Gu Qingyi denied it outright: "Lord Venerable’s identity is quite special. Besides... it’s impossible for the Venerable to be an inspector."
"Understood, the rank is too high to be sent to the grassroots level, is that what you mean?"
"That’s not the reason!"
Gu Qingyi denied it again: "Because... the Venerable does not cross the World Wall, this is the rule of the Domain Realm."
The Venerable does not cross the World Wall?
Chen Yan frowned, "Then how did my old lady come over? And stay in this world for so many years?"
Gu Qingyi’s tone became complicated: "Chen Yan, you’d better not ask more. Anything related to Lord Venerable is absolutely unspoken."
"Alright, alright." Chen Yan sighed, "Then let’s not talk about my old lady, just tell me about this rule of ’the Venerable does not cross the World Wall’, why is there such a rule?"
Gu Qingyi’s tone became serious: "The Heavenly Dao of the two sides is different, and the world’s rules are different, you already know this.
When a cultivator from the Domain Realm comes to your world, their cultivation will be suppressed. Beyond the Celestial Being realm, they will drop in rank. The higher the realm, the harsher the suppression!
I am in the Celestial Being Realm, but coming to your world, I was suppressed to the Ascension Realm.
Beyond the Celestial Being Realm, there is the Golden Body Realm, the Primordial Spirit Realm, and then the Venerable Realm.
I’m already suppressed so severely here, dropped an entire Great Tier. Think about it, the Venerable Realm is three realms higher than me, what kind of suppression would they face from your Heavenly Dao?
The higher the realm, the stronger the suppression and backlash from your Heavenly Dao. The Extraordinary Tier coming to your world is already the limit.
If a Great Power of the Saint Tier came to your world, their Tao Practice and cultivation would be suppressed to almost ordinary human levels. The amount of primordial qi they could wield would be minimal, and even slightly more powerful spells would be impossible to cast."
Chen Yan was shocked upon hearing this!
Gu Qingyi continued: "Reaching the Venerable Realm and beyond, belongs to the Entering Saint Tier.
The Saint Tier possesses the Undying Immortal Body, has towering cultivation, can comprehend the Heavenly Dao, and even place their Primordial Spirit within the Heavenly Dao.
One could say that in our Domain Realm, the Saint Tier is almost immortal. Killing a Saint Tier is extremely difficult.
But once they come to your world, the Venerable becomes a mortal. If someone harbors ill intentions and takes the opportunity to harm them... in your world, killing a Venerable is extremely easy.
Each Great Power of the Saint Tier is an extremely valuable existence in the Domain Realm and a pillar that supports the Domain Realm. They must not be easily harmed.
Hence, there is an iron rule in the Domain Realm: the Venerable does not cross the World Wall!"
Chen Yan was greatly moved and countless thoughts and questions filled his mind.
Since the Venerable does not cross the World Wall, coming here means their sky-reaching cultivation turns them into a mortal, risking great danger...
Then why did the old lady come? And stay for so many years?!
Either there is some special, unavoidable reason forcing her to take such a huge risk to come.
Sounds like... exile?
Chen Yan pondered silently.
However, it does explain why the old lady, even though she recognized that old fox, didn’t help suppress that guy in the mountains.
The old lady here... can’t use her cultivation!
Thinking about it, being a Divine Woman, giving fortune-telling and face-reading, is already the limit. Using more spells, she can’t.
On the other end of the phone, Gu Qingyi’s tone was very serious: "Chen Yan, I warn you, if you don’t plan to go to the Domain Realm, don’t ask about it anymore. There is a Heavenly Dao in the unseen. Knowing too much, getting involved in karma, may not be good for you."
"...Got it." Chen Yan shook his head, then changed the subject: "It’s so late, why aren’t you sleeping? I hear sounds on your end, are you eating something?"
In the living room of the villa, Gu Qingyi sat cross-legged on the sofa, with the coffee table in front of her full of snacks.
A large jar of seaweed was more than half gone, and there were several opened bags of chips, sunflower seeds, peanuts, and chocolates.
Next to her were several empty milk tea cups.
Young Lady Gu blushed: "Don’t worry about it!"
After saying this, she hung up the phone and tossed it aside.
She picked up the remote control and turned off the mute mode on the TV.
On the massive 100-inch LCD TV, an old man from the Three Eastern States dressed in rustic clothes was winking and saying, "A monkey on the tree and one on the ground, how many monkeys in total?"
Next to him, a big-headed, thick-necked middle-aged man had a silly and dumbfounded look on his face...
Young Lady Gu found it hilarious, stuffing chips into her mouth, her cheeks bulging like a hamster.
Ah, this world is pretty good after all.
Back in the day, the disc that Third Uncle brought back, some kind of New Year’s Gala, was from the nineties.
Never watched the ones after that, now it’s like a rat falling into a rice jar!
Going to watch them year by year!
It’s just a pity that Mrs. Zhao is no longer there. But this Old Zhao is quite funny!
Chen Yan looked at the disconnected call, pursed his lips, and put away his phone.
