379: Excavation, Six Gates

After learning about the situation in other domains, you did not immediately go there, but returned to the Divine Domain.

Based on the memories from the soul-scouring, you integrated all the Heavenly Essence into the Divine Domain.

"Rumble..."

In an instant, various phenomena appeared, and the sound of shattering constantly echoed in the sky.

It wasn't until several years later that these phenomena gradually receded.

And at the same time, you could clearly feel that the Divine Domain had grown stronger.

Although everything on its surface seemed normal, all living beings residing there underwent earth-shattering changes.

Including you!

This was a fundamental change.

A leap in class.

Your cultivation also broke through its limits at the same time, reaching a new Realm—the Thirteenth Realm.

In the time that followed, you did not travel to other domains, but returned to the Immortal Region once again.

You began to explore the undeveloped areas of the Immortal Region.

Although the Thought Clan had already scoured all the Heavenly Essence here, you always felt that the Immortal Region was not that simple.

You forbade all Immortal Region living beings from entering those undeveloped areas.

Instead, you led Xiao Tiandou and a few trusted subordinates to explore the vast undeveloped regions.

You dug here for a very, very long time.

The 50,800th year.

You found nothing.

But you keenly perceived that the places in the Immortal Region where Heavenly Essence had once been born seemed to be gathering energy again!

You were deeply puzzled by this.

You began to investigate what those converging energies were.

However, what you found was astonishing.

The newly condensed energies were precisely Heavenly Essence!

Although they condensed very slowly, it would take at least several million years for them to reach their former quality.

But this scene still left you stunned.

Because through the previous soul-scouring, you knew that Heavenly Essence only appeared when a domain degenerated.

Other than that, there was no other way for Heavenly Essence to be born.

Yet, the current situation in the Immortal Region was abnormal in every way.

You knew there must be a great secret hidden within the Immortal Region.

Otherwise, this situation would never occur.

You instructed your confidants to continue searching here, and at the same time, you sent Xiao Tiandou to find some Immortal Realm cultivatorss to participate in the excavation of the Immortal Region.

Thus, another two thousand years passed.

You broke through to the Thirteenth Realm Middle Stage.

At this point, you still had found nothing.

But you were calm.

Because you knew that everyone had already excavated half of the undeveloped area.

If the excavation continued at this pace, it wouldn't be long before the entire undeveloped area would be dug through.

By then, whatever secrets were hidden in the Immortal Region would have nowhere to hide from you.

"My lord! Area three has a discovery!"

"Oh?"

You looked in the direction of the voice and saw a Cultivator rushing over.

You directly grabbed him, and following his guidance, you continuously teleported through Celestial Travel, quickly arriving at the place where they discovered the anomaly.

This was an abyss located underground.

According to your subordinate Cultivator, the aura emanating from the abyss was terrifying.

They felt a chill just by approaching it.

You began to carefully examine the abyss.

However...

No matter how you observed, you could not see anything on the surface of the abyss.

If you wanted to explore its secrets, you would probably have to go deep inside.

You originally wanted to send other Cultivators down.

But with their cultivation, they couldn't go deep into it at all.

Just approaching the abyss made them scream repeatedly, constantly begging you for mercy.

Helpless, you summoned Xiao Tiandou, intending to have him observe the abyss using his control over the Immortal Region.

A moment later.

Xiao Tiandou rushed over.

But he was also helpless regarding the situation in the abyss.

Although he could control some of the power of heaven and earth in the Immortal Region, when that power entered the abyss, it would encounter an obstruction and then disappear without a trace.

Upon hearing his explanation, your doubts reached a new level.

You told the other Cultivators to stay away from here, and then you slowly descended, beginning to enter the abyss.

You descended for a very, very long time.

Along the way, you constantly probed ahead with a willow leaf.

But what you didn't expect was that although you could feel something blocking the willow leaf, whenever you went to check what it was, you saw nothing.

Thus, you continued downwards, filled with doubt.

Finally, you reached the bottom of the abyss.

It was completely dark here, without any light.

Even with your cultivation fully activated, a special energy blocked your vision, preventing you from seeing anything.

You began to grope around here.

Gradually, a light appeared in the distance.

You followed the light.

And what greeted your eyes were six glowing gates.

From left to right, they were engraved with different texts.

You stepped forward to observe them one by one.

Divine Domain.

The mighty power of heaven and earth, transforming into myriad forms.

The majestic might of the heavens, not to be infringed upon.

Immortal Region.

Eternal life, the limit of humanity.

Following the heavens and conforming to the Dao, achieving True Immortal status.

Demon Domain.

Defying the Heavenly Dao, doing as one pleases.

No form, no self, the demonic path forever prosperous.

Demon Domain.

Spirits of heaven and earth, ancient creatures becoming refined.

Every blade of grass, every tree, all are demon spirits.

Ghost Domain.

Honoring the departed, the Reincarnation of the Six Paths.

All spirits of heaven and earth, all are ghosts and gods.

Human Domain.

The noblest of all beings, humans as the spirits of heaven and earth.

A single thought can lead to immortality or demonhood, bringing blessings or misfortunes for ten thousand generations.

Looking at the texts on the six great gates before you, you were somewhat puzzled.

They represented the Divine, Immortal, Demonic, Demonic, Ghost, and Human Domains, respectively.

And as you passed by the Human Gate, a faint light appeared there.

When passing by the Divine and Demonic Gates, faint tremors also appeared.

Filled with doubt, you returned to the Human Gate.

The thought of entering the Human Gate arose in your mind.

Crisis Awareness did not send you any warning.

This greatly reassured you.

Although Crisis Awareness was only a blue talent, it had given you immense help throughout your journey.

Whenever you encountered a crisis, it almost always gave you an early warning.

So you trusted him implicitly.

You gently opened the gate that read "Human Domain."

The next moment, you arrived in another world.
