188: Chapter 188 The Myriad Realms and Seas, the Xuanhuang Realm!

Outside, when Zhang Yang broke through the ninth level,

a stone stele fell from the void, landing directly beside the Heavenly Stairway,

with three words inscribed upon it:

Xuanhuang World!

Looking at this massive stele that had emerged from the void and landed beside the Heavenly Stairway,

the surrounding Dao Slaying Realm Experts were all shocked, arriving before the stele in an instant.

"What is this? The xuanhuang realm stele? What kind of Realm is the Xuanhuang World? Why is there no record of it at all?"

A Dao Severing Realm Expert looked at the stele before him and couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know. I've never heard of such a Realm!"

"But this stele came from the void and landed right here; this is a change unseen in millions of years!"

"It's very likely caused by Zhang Yang, who is climbing the Heavenly Stairway!"

"It seems Zhang Yang has already broken the records of the past millions of years!"

Another Dao Severing Realm Expert spoke with an excited tone!

For millions of years, there has only been the Heavenly Stairway in this Small World,

and now another stone stele has come from the void.

Zhang Yang's progress on the Heavenly Stairway has reached an unprecedented level, triggering such an anomaly!

"It seems Zhang Yang is very likely to succeed! Perhaps the Breakthrough and cultivation methods for the Due Realm are truly about to arrive!"

The corners of the mouths of several Dao Slaying Realm Experts curled up wildly.

This anomaly, unseen for millions of years, truly seems to have been brought about by Zhang Yang!

"Then, is this stele related to the legendary Due Realm?"

Another Dao Severing Realm Expert frowned,

examining the xuanhuang realm stele before him, but finding nothing at all.

This boundary stone seemed like an ordinary stone stele,

but everyone understood that it couldn't possibly be ordinary.

The Master of Canglang Tower reached out and scratched at the stele.

With his cultivation at the Third Transformation of the Physical Body and Xuan Ying Nine Revolutions,

even a sturdy heaven tier mid-grade spiritual material would be squeezed soft or flattened by him.

Yet, this xuanhuang realm stele didn't budge an inch; not even a fingerprint was left behind.

"The material of this stele is unusual! It's incredibly sturdy! Even with my physical body, I can't damage it in the slightest!" The Master of Canglang Tower's expression was grave.

"Sect Master Wu Tian, do you know the meaning of the three words 'Xuanhuang World' on this stele?"

The Master of Sansheng Tower looked at the Sect Master of Wuling Sect beside him and asked with his usual smile.

The Sect Master of Wuling Sect frowned deeply, his mind racing with thought.

He flipped through various records in ancient texts from countless years,

but still could not find the exact meaning of the words 'Xuanhuang World'.

"Could it be that this Small World is named the Xuanhuang World?" Claiming Qiankun speculated.

"I do have a slight clue," said Tower Master of the Martial Refining Pagoda Wu Ji.

Upon hearing this, many Dao Slaying Realm Experts looked at Wu Ji with great anticipation.

"The Xuanhuang World should be the former name of the Central Continent!" Wu Ji spoke slowly.

"Years ago, I ascended to the Taiyin and Taiyang, hoping to find clues about the Due Scripture, but I found nothing."

"I risked my life to enter the cores of Taiyin and Taiyang, and in each, I saw a single character. Combined, they form 'Xuanhuang'."

"Afterward, I explored many Small Worlds, and in one deserted Small World, I found a fragment of an ancient text."

"It said: 'Xuanhuang shatters, the Four Poles scatter, and the Central Continent remains!'"

"Seeing this boundary stone now, I suspect Xuanhuang refers to the predecessor of the Central Continent!"

"The Xuanhuang World once contained the Central Continent but shattered due to some mysterious event."

"The Four Poles became the current Four Domains, and the Central Continent remained as a remnant."

After hearing what Wu Ji said, many Dao Slaying Realm Experts nodded slightly.

"It's very possible. Then perhaps the reason we cannot break through to the Due Realm is that the Central Continent is a broken world, unable to support our Breakthrough?" a Dao Severing Realm Expert said softly.

"That is possible!" Many Dao Severing Realm Martial Artists nodded excitedly.

"Then how should we mend the world?" a Dao Severing Realm Expert asked quietly.

For a moment, the many Dao Slaying Realm Experts looked at each other.

Wu Tian was the one to speak up: "Let's not be in a hurry. After all, this is just speculation. Let's wait for Zhang Yang to come out before discussing further!"

"Perhaps he might obtain such a method from the Heavenly Stairway!"

As soon as Wu Tian spoke, many Dao Slaying Realm Experts nodded.

"Yes, yes, yes! We should wait for Zhang Yang to come out before deliberating!"

Everyone looked at the Heavenly Stairway, filled with anticipation.

After completing the test of the 11th level,

Zhang Yang felt his vision blur for a moment, and then he appeared inside a room made of green jade.

Many things were laid out inside.

"These are all the rewards for the Heavenly Stairway this time! Collect them, and you can leave with just a thought!"

That ethereal voice rang out.

Zhang Yang looked at the items in the room: a green stone filled with Dao charm.

Zhang Yang recognized it at a glance; this should be that dao stone.

It could allow a Dao Severing Realm Expert to increase their comprehension of the Dao by one layer!

In this room, there were also many bottles and jars containing strange things.

There were flickering flames, liquids that looked extremely cold... Zhang Yang examined them one by one.

The ethereal voice was quite considerate; every time Zhang Yang examined an item, it provided some introduction for it.

After finishing his examination, Zhang Yang was secretly astonished.

A wisp of Nine Yang True Fire, a bottle of Three Brilliance Divine Water,

a piece of Bodhi Heart, a piece of Profound Origin Earth Soul, a large chunk of Star Iron Essence... almost all were heaven tier mid-grade Heaven And Earth Treasures.

Among them, the Nine Yang True Fire had not appeared in the Central Continent for a long time.

As for the Three Brilliance Divine Water, the Martial Refining Tower could only condense a few drops over tens of thousands of years, but here was an entire bottle!

As for the Bodhi Heart, it was the essence of the Ancient Bodhi Tree.

Even the Three Lives Tower hadn't been able to collect much in tens of thousands of years.

This piece here was almost equivalent to the results of the Three Lives Tower's efforts over tens of thousands of years.

As for the Profound Origin Earth Soul and Star Iron Essence,

while they were considered precious, most Dao Slaying Realm Experts possessed some.

The Profound Origin Earth Soul was a specialty of the Central Continent, though its output was scarce.

As for Star Iron Essence, it was occasionally found when Small Worlds from the Nine Heavens fell into the Central Continent,

allowing some to be collected from the cores of those Small Worlds.

Besides these heaven tier mid-grade ones, there were also some heaven tier low-grade Heaven And Earth Treasures that were quite good rewards!

Zhang Yang collected all these Heaven And Earth Treasures into his Grotto-heaven.

With these Heaven And Earth Treasures, his five elements clones should be able to take another step forward!

After putting these away, Zhang Yang looked at the final item, which was a Jade Slip.

Inside were the cultivation methods for the Due Realm, how to break through from the Dao Severing Realm to the Due Realm,

an esoteric technique, and some information.

"Sea of Heavens, the Xuanhuang World, the Due Realm! So that's how it is!"

Zhang Yang's lips curled up; he now knew how to break through to the Due Realm!

"I'm in no hurry to head out just yet!" Zhang Yang looked around.

He decided to first break through to the Venerable King Realm and complete the First Rotation of the Profound Infant here,

only then would he leave and inform the many Dao Slaying Realm Experts of the cultivation and Breakthrough methods for the Due Realm.

With a thought, the profound infant in Zhang Yang's Dantian opened its eyes, its right hand grasping at the air.

A Dao Blade, formed from Zhang Yang's comprehension of the Dao, appeared in its hand.

It slashed toward the nine heavenly dao chains in front!

The first chain shattered instantly.

Zhang Yang's profound infant opened its mouth and inhaled, sucking all the fragments of the heavenly dao chain into its mouth!

Then, it inhaled all the mana in his body into the profound infant as well!

Before long, brand new mana was spat out by the profound infant.

Zhang Yang felt that this mana was even more effortless to control, containing even more profundities!

A single strand of mana felt like its power had increased several times over compared to before, and it was even more esoteric!
