114: Chapter 115 The Five-Colored Sky's Horrifying Experience

In the Void Realm of the Sea of Realms, a magical boat locked onto a small plane emitting faint life fluctuations.

Baili Ming skillfully manipulated the Formation Plate, beginning to record basic information about the plane, such as its spatial coordinates, energy Rank, and life signs, and simultaneously reported it to the Nine Songs Net.

"Recorded: D-Rank plane, serial number Seven Star~D~114514, low Spiritual Qi, primitive tribal civilization, with faint Power Of Faith, faster time flow rate, observation recommended."

As Baili Ming recorded, he patiently pointed out every step of a Patrol Angel's operation to Shen Moyan.

"planes like these are not of high value; just record their coordinates and observe their evolution."

Shen Moyan nodded, understanding the operation perfectly.

The Sea of Realms is boundless, with planes as numerous as the sands of the Ganges. To facilitate management, the All Heavens Department categorizes planes into A, B, C, and D Ranks based on their civilization's energy level.

D-Rank, like the Great Qi Martial World, has depleted Spiritual Qi and unremarkable Dao. The strongest individuals are merely comparable to Qi Gathering practitioners.

Occasionally, a Mortal Transformation expert appears, but they pose no threat to the Holy Court, being as humble as ants.

For the Great Qǐ Martial World to produce a Peak existence like Shen Moyan is a rare occurrence, happening perhaps once in a millennium.

C-Rank planes can already nurture beings that threaten Mortal Transformation Cultivators, or their civilization as a whole can rely on external objects to injure Purple Mansion Cultivators, requiring monitoring.

As for B-Rank, Shen Moyan's gaze swept over the planes on the map that exuded vast aura and had relatively complete rules.

These planes already have stable Legacy and can give birth to Purple Mansion Realm combat power, and possess certain means to contact other planes.

Such civilizations need to be treated cautiously. Patrol Angels often first infiltrate for intelligence, then upload to the Nine Songs Net for Holy Court Cultivators to conquer.

As for A-Rank, these planes possess profound foundations and unique rules, and may even have given birth to existences comparable to the Guizang Realm.

Their civilization itself is a threat, and the All Heavens Department is often extremely cautious regarding them.

Shen Moyan's heart was solemn; this Rank classification was simple and crude.

It fully revealed the Holy Court's tyrannical nature of the strong preying on the weak, and those who comply prosper while those who resist perish.

"By the way, the space-time in the Sea of Realms is chaotic, and the time flow rate of some planes differs greatly from the Shanhai Realm," Baili Ming added.

"Perhaps after one day of our patrol, a thousand years have passed there."

"Therefore, strategies also need to be flexible for different planes."

Baili Ming extended three fingers: "Our All Heavens Department generally adopts three methods."

"First, purification: for hostile, uneducable, or potentially polluting cancerous planes, we completely eradicate them and take their Origin."

"Second, enslavement: for valuable but unruly ones, we suppress their will to resist, making them vassals of the Holy Court. Third..."

He paused, taking out a palm-sized small flag with Mountain and Sea cloud patterns embroidered on its surface and profound Talismans carved on its pole:

"Planting the flag and leaving a mark, then observing the changes."

"For certain low-Rank planes with potential, or those with extremely fast time flow rates, mainly D-Rank and C-Rank, this 'mountain and sea flag' can be inserted into their plane's core Origin during their civilization's nascent stage."

"This flag will not interfere with the plane's natural development, but it can subtly guide its Dao Rhyme to evolve in a direction favorable to the Shanhai Realm, and imprint it with the Holy Court's mark."

"It's like planting and fertilizing, shaping the plant, and then harvesting it when it matures?" Shen Moyan asked.

"Exactly, this is the lowest cost method with the longest-term benefits."

With that, Baili Ming controlled the magical boat, locking onto the D-Rank plane before them.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, watch closely; I'll use this realm as an example to demonstrate for you."

The magical boat penetrated the plane's barrier, concealed itself above the clouds, and entered plane number Seven Star~D~114514.

Below, continents, mountains, and rivers were faintly visible, with weak vital signs.

Baili Ming formed a hand seal, and the mountain and sea flag transformed into a streak of light, ignoring spatial distance, directly plunging deep into the earth and silently merging with the plane's Origin.

The entire process was silent, and the beings in the world below were completely unaware.

"Alright, this realm is marked."

"After thousands of years, it might nurture some interesting Dao Rhyme resources."

Baili Ming said calmly, as if a farmer had just planted a seedling in the field.

However, Shen Moyan, standing beside him, had a strange expression upon sensing the Dao Rhyme flowing from the mountain and sea flag.

This aura felt somewhat familiar.

He asked casually, "Senior Baili, this mountain and sea flag is ingeniously conceived. Which Great Master in the department refined it?"

Baili Ming, suspecting nothing, replied offhandedly:

"This flag is uniformly refined by the Formation Strategy Hall and regularly distributed to the All Heavens Department in various prefectures for use."

"What, Fellow Daoist Shen is also interested in the Dao of formations?"

Shen Moyan understood in his heart; it was indeed an official Holy Court institution.

It seemed that Wild Goose Formation True Monarch's "All Beings Spirit Refining Grand Array" was not his original creation.

Instead, it was derived from, or perhaps a 'demonic modification' of, this 'mountain and sea flag'.

"I only know a little about the Dao of formations; I've made Senior laugh," Shen Moyan said, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, his expression calm.

Baili Ming nodded, said no more, and controlled the magical boat to leave the newly marked plane.

But immediately after, the magical boat approached another plane emitting chaotic, bloodthirsty aura.

Baili Ming's expression was strange.

The recorded information changed to: "B-Rank plane, serial number 350234, Devilish Qi erosion, civilization collapse, breeding Demonic Fiends, with risk of spread, marked as 'pending purification'."

"This is truly strange. We clearly sent people to clear it a few days ago, so why would a Demonic Fiend plane still emerge?"

Just as Baili Ming was wondering, Shen Moyan's gaze was unconsciously drawn to a distant area.

That was not the monochromatic or chaotic halo of an ordinary plane, but a strange, five-colored, resplendent, and shimmering space.

The colors flowed and intertwined slowly as if alive, emitting an ancient and vast Dao Rhyme fluctuation.

Its very existence was out of place with the surrounding active plane ocean.

"Senior Baili, that five-colored area is..." Shen Moyan couldn't help but point there and ask.

However, before he finished speaking, he keenly noticed that Baili Ming's aura beside him suddenly tightened!

This usually calm and collected veteran Patrol Angel's face drastically changed the moment he looked at that five-colored area.

"Don't make a sound! Don't look at It!"

Do not look directly! Do not utter Its name!

Baili Ming's voice carried unprecedented fear and sternness.

He abruptly waved his hand, conjuring a spiritual light, intending to forcibly divert the magical boat's course, away from the original route.

Not until that area disappeared from the map did Baili Ming lower his voice, speaking rapidly, with deep apprehension.

"That is the Five-Colored Heavenly Realm!"

"The Forbidden Ground jointly created by the five Sīmìng of ancient Shanhai! It's not a plane; it buried everything of ancient Shanhai, it's a top-tier Forbidden Ground!"

"Five Sīmìng? Top-tier Forbidden Ground?" Shen Moyan's heart was greatly shaken.

"They were once ranked alongside the four sovereigns Immortal Lords, even more ancient existences, who perished countless years ago!"

Baili Ming's tone was heavy, "It is said that the reason for their demise involves a great secret of heaven and earth, which even the higher-ups are tight-lipped about."

"That Five-Colored Heavenly Realm is the relic they left behind, or rather, their tomb!"

"It is filled with the residual Dao Rhyme of the fallen Sīmìng, containing unknown great horrors..."

He stared intently at Shen Moyan, warning:

"The Holy Court strictly forbids anyone whose official Rank has not reached seventh profundity to approach the Five-Colored Heavenly Realm. There was once a Gui Zang True Monarch who, relying on his cultivation, wished to enter and seek Opportunity, but his existence was immediately erased from space-time!"

"If not for the origin dao preaching stele recording his Dao Rhyme, he would have been forgotten by everyone long ago."

"Remember, curiosity will kill you! Remember!"

Shen Moyan felt a chill in his heart upon hearing this.

A seventh profundity official Rank was already considered high-level within the All Heavens Department, at least at the Calamity Law Realm.

Just as his thoughts were racing, the magical boat suddenly blared an alarm.

Looking at the map, Baili Ming's face turned completely ashen.

Shen Moyan didn't look up, only at the map, where there were no planes or worlds within hundreds of light-years.

They had passed the Five-Colored Heavenly Realm and arrived in an even stranger void.
