Cultivation knows no passage of time.
In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
An aura of terror emanated from the back mountain, striking fear into the hearts of those who felt it.
A figure soared into the sky!
"Haha, I have finally advanced to the sixth layer of the World Realm!"
Liu Xiao was in high spirits.
With this breakthrough, he had even more confidence in defeating Ye Tianjun and claiming the title of Domain Lord!
Soon, Liu Xiao concealed his aura completely.
"Congratulations, Pavilion Master!"
One royal cultivator after another arrived with the wind, offering their congratulations.
Now, the number of royal cultivators in the Star Pavilion had reached a formidable total of nineteen!
Counting Ling Chen and Shen Xing, who possessed royal cultivator strength, the Star Pavilion boasted twenty-one cultivators of royal caliber!
Such a lineup, even at the peak of the Burning Flame Sect’s former glory, could not match.
Liu Xiao smiled slightly at the group.
His gaze swept across the faces of the royal cultivators but noticed that Ling Chen was nowhere to be seen.
"Where is Ling Chen?"
Before he went into seclusion, Ling Chen had mentioned that he was going to challenge the World Realm.
Three months had passed, and Ling Chen had not yet succeeded?
"He’s still cultivating at the Dragon Vein!"
Liu Xiao was surprised and asked, "Has he encountered some problem with his cultivation?"
Shen Xing shook his head and smiled, "Young Master Ling’s aura is very stable; we just don’t know when he will be successfully promoted."
Liu Xiao immediately flew towards the Dragon Vein.
The royal cultivators followed closely behind.
Since the withdrawal of the nine sects, Liu Xiao had completely opened up access to the Dragon Vein.
Only those who had reached the late ninth layer of the Palace Mansion Realm could use it to ascend to the World Realm!
And some disciples who performed well also had the chance to cultivate at the Dragon Vein.
Of course, the Dragon Vein was still split into two halves.
The upper stream was the forbidden territory of the Divine Bird, Qingluan.
Only Ling Chen, Shen Xing, and a few others were allowed to cultivate there.
The lower stream was the place for cultivators of the Star Pavilion to practice.
Soon, everyone entered the Dragon Vein.
And they saw Ling Chen.
Ling Chen was still attempting to break through to the World Realm.
Ordinarily, it would take a cultivator one month to break through the bottleneck from the Palace Mansion Realm to the World Realm and create their own world.
However, three months had passed, and Ling Chen’s aura had grown much stronger, but he was still stuck at the King Realm level.
Even Qingluan, the Divine Bird tasked with catching Spiritual Fish for Ling Chen, was feeling somewhat disheartened.
"Shen Xing, hurry over here! I’m exhausted, it’s your turn to catch Spiritual Fish for Ling Chen!"
Xiao Qing called out urgently upon seeing Shen Xing.
It was a Divine Beast, after all, and it had fallen into such a state.
Where was the justice in the world?
Shen Xing smiled, moved swiftly, and dashed over.
Like a specter, he appeared above the Dragon Vein, slapping the Spiritual Fish towards Ling Chen.
He had recently emerged from seclusion, and his physical body had undergone considerable improvements.
His strength had greatly increased.
Feeling Ling Chen’s aura, Liu Xiao too breathed a sigh of relief.
Indeed, just as Shen Xing had said, Ling Chen had not succumbed to demonic possession.
"Mr. Shen, isn’t that terrifying? Three months and he still hasn’t managed to evolve his own world?"
"Indeed! I recall, back in my days, I think it took only a month!"
"I also took a little over a month. The miraculous energy contained within the Spiritual Fish plays a significant role in world evolution!"
The royal cultivators discussed among themselves.
"Alright, you may leave now. I’ll stay here and guard for Ling Chen. During this period, do not allow anyone to enter! Suspend the opening of the Dragon Vein!"
Liu Xiao said in a deep voice.
The Kings all took their leave.
Even the disciples who were cultivating downstream were driven out.
"It really is the talent I admire; it seems the world Ling Chen is evolving is extraordinary!"
A bright light flickered in Liu Xiao’s eyes. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ n̷o̷v̷e̷l̷f̷i̷r̷e̷.net
The internal world is a symbol of the power of those in the World Realm.
The World Power is the force produced by the internal world.
This power is related to the internal world.
The more powerful the world, the stronger the World Power.
There are four levels to the internal worlds of the World Realm powerhouses.
The fourth level is the ordinary world.
The third level, is called the Super World!
The second level is the Flawless World!
The first level, named the Perfect World!
Different levels yield different World Powers.
A gap of one level means a different tier of World Power.
That is to say, a King with a Super World mobilizes a World Power comparable to a two-star King with an ordinary world!
And a King with a Perfect World has a World Power that is a full three tiers higher than that of a King with an ordinary world!
Of course, the vast majority of cultivators possess the fourth level, the ordinary world.
Only a few elite talents can evolve a higher-grade world.
One standard measure of what level of world one can evolve is the time it takes to evolve the world.
The longer the time consumed to evolve the world, the more powerful the world evolved.
Of course, this is a very common and not very accurate method of measurement.
Regrettably, Liu Xiao himself only has an ordinary world.
He is also unclear about how long it would take to evolve a Super World.
As for the Flawless World and the Perfect World, it goes without saying.
But what he knows is that when he was evolving his own world, it took him a month and a half.
And Ling Chen has taken three months, it is estimated that he should be able to reach the level of a Super World!
With a Super World upon stepping into the World Realm, Ling Chen will essentially be at the second-tier level.
Add Ling Chen’s various methods, he could possibly rival a five-star King, or at the very least match a four-star!
Hence, he dismissed the other Kings and personally guarded for Ling Chen.
Such a genius is the hope of his Star Pavilion!
While Ling Chen was secluding himself to break through to the World Realm, in the northwest direction, a huge battleship with a black sheen and metallic luster, was heading towards the Eastern Domain.
What is shocking is that this colossal object moved extremely fast, actually comparable to the fifth tier of the World Realm!
This object is named the Sky Patrol Battleship.
Only a State Governor can possess it!
It symbolizes the might of the State Governor!
Aboard the battleship.
A young man stood on the deck.
His gaze was directed towards the direction of the Burning Flame Sect.
"When will we arrive at Lishan City in the Eastern Domain?"
An elderly man standing by his side immediately said, "Patrol Envoy, it’s estimated that there’s still a month’s journey."
The young man nodded.
It turns out this person was a Patrol Envoy sent by the State Governor of Qing Province.
This time, the State Governor deployed five Patrol Envoys, one for each domain.
The so-called Patrol Envoys are messengers sent by the State Governor to patrol the lands.
The main goal of this trip is for the competition of Domain Lords of the five domains!
And he will oversee this competition for the position of Domain Lord!
Even the final decision for the position of Domain Lord requires his consent.
Even cultivators with higher cultivation levels dare not be disrespectful towards Patrol Envoys!
Because the Patrol Envoys represent the face of the State Governor!
"It’s said that my foster father had once visited the Eastern Domain. This time, he instructed me to pay attention to a longsword. I wonder what’s so special about this sword?"
As he spoke, Spiritual Power gathered in front of the young man, condensing into a longsword.
This longsword appeared no different from ordinary longswords.
Only, near the hilt of the blade, an ’Xuan’ character was inscribed.
