The road to the upper realm, the third heaven!

Speaking of this, the three Guardians gritted their teeth.

"I don't know which scoundrel hiding in the First Heaven is playing tricks on us out of boredom."

"A few months ago, out of nowhere, he suddenly threw a punch. Swish! It was so fast! While we weren't paying attention, he came to trick and ambush us, damaging the heavenly barrier of the Second Heaven."

"Is this good? This is not good!"

"The three of us old fellows worked tirelessly and finally repaired the heavenly barrier of the Second Heaven."

"As soon as it was repaired, that fellow came again. This time it was even worse than the last, and the heavenly barrier of the Third Heaven was also damaged along with it."

"It's simply inexplicable!"

Zhong Qing looked at the three men, who showed signs of fatigue, and said with much sympathy,

"There's actually such a thing? This person is truly excessive."

One Guardian nodded: "Yes, not only is he excessive, he's absolutely excessive."

"Did that fellow ever consider how important the heavenly barrier is? His wanton destruction of it causes so much trouble for others."

Zhong Qing nodded: "Yes, I hate people who cause trouble for others the most."

Yu Weichen also sighed: "However, to be able to shatter the heavenly barrier, this person's strength is extraordinary! I'm afraid only those old fellows who sealed themselves in the First Heaven could possess such means."

"Many of those existences have sealed themselves in the Lower Realm for countless years, and their minds are a bit abnormal. There are also those with strange tempers. You three have truly worked hard."

The two sides chatted for a few more sentences, and Yu Weichen said: "The three of you still have tasks to perform. Repairing the heavenly barrier is of great importance. This Lord also needs to take Little Friend Zhong to the Upper Realm to meet the Immortal Lord, so I won't disturb you all. Please open the heavenly barrier and let us pass."

Upon hearing this, the Guardian's face darkened, and he released the Formation: "Why bother opening the heavenly barrier? There's such a big hole there. You two can just go through directly."

Yu Weichen's face also twitched, feeling quite awkward.

Another Guardian gritted his teeth and said: "If I ever find that damned scoundrel, I will... I will report him to the Immortal Lord and severely punish him."

Zhong Qing nodded: "If I ever encounter such an unreasonable person in the future, I will certainly help the three of you teach him a lesson."

Upon hearing this, the Guardian felt a good impression of Zhong Qing and said: "Young people are just warm-hearted, but you are young and your cultivation is still shallow. That person's strength is unfathomable, so if you really encounter him, you must be careful."

Zhong Qing nodded: "Thank you for the reminder, I will remember it."

Watching the two Transmigration through the heavenly barrier and leave, the three Guardians also sighed deeply and continued to work diligently.

And Zhong Qing and the other person thus entered the Third Heaven.

Putting aside the recent events for now, Yu Weichen smiled: "Little Friend Zhong, this is your first time in the Upper Realm, and you are not familiar with the situation of each Heaven. This is a good opportunity for this Lord to introduce you."

Zhong Qing nodded and cupped his fist: "Then I shall trouble Brother Yu."

The two continued to ascend towards the sky.

Although they didn't linger much in this Third Heaven, Zhong Qing could feel, with a fleeting glance, that this place also had endless mountains and rivers, permeated with the aura of many living beings.

However, among these countless living beings, he did not sense the aura of the Human Race. Instead, Demonic Qi soared into the sky, making him wonder if he had entered the Yao Race's territory in the Xuan Domain again.

Yu Weichen smiled: "Little Friend Zhong, have you felt it?"

"The environment of this Third Heaven is almost the same as the Second Heaven, but the difference lies in the inhabitants."

"The First Heaven and Second Heaven are where the main branch of the Human Race, who have not yet achieved Immortal Ascension, reside."

"And the main inhabitants of the Third Heaven and Fourth Heaven are the Yao Race."

"Here, the Human Race is a small minority."

Zhong Qing then understood. No wonder he didn't sense the presence of the Human Race; it turned out this was the Yao Race's domain.

"Hmm... Actually, Yao Race is how the Human Race in the Lower Realm refers to them. For True Immortals of our Immortal Alliance, this term is not entirely appropriate."

"More accurately, they should be called Beast Race."

"Whether they are Yao or demonic, they ultimately originate from beasts. Regardless of whether they are Vicious Beasts, Spirit Beasts, Yao Beasts, or Immortal Beasts, they all fall under the category of 'beast'."

"In fact, the Human Race, in its earliest form, was also a part of beasts. The Human Race and Beast Race were collectively known as the Ten Thousand Races. But in ancient times, great emperors and sage kings among the Human Race rose, enlightened the masses, and allowed our Human Race to break free from ignorance and savagery, only then did the distinction between human and beast emerge."

"The biggest difference in the Human Race is that all of us, whether immortal or mortal, old or young, are born with awakened intelligence. Whereas among the Beast Race, apart from a few like the Dragon and Phoenix, most races only have a small number that awaken intelligence and form settlements."

"Therefore, the number of people in the Human Race who can cultivate and embark on the immortal path is far greater than that of other races. This is also why the Human Race in ancient times was able to stand out and become the strongest race."

"However, the Human Race and Beast Race have been mortal enemies from ancient times until now, constantly fighting. Even under the pressure of great calamity, they had no choice but to form a united front, but without external enemies, they still find it difficult to coexist peacefully."

"So, when the Ten Thousand Races migrated into the Nine Heavens, considering this point, it was decided to separate the Yao and Human Races."

"Except for a considerable portion of the Beast Race in the First Heaven who were left behind during the migration because they were tainted by a curse, their main body resides in the Third Heaven and Fourth Heaven."

Zhong Qing nodded: "So that's how it is."

No wonder there were still many Yao groups in the First Heaven; in the Second Heaven, he hardly saw any Yao Race existing in groups.

It turned out they were all in the Third and Fourth Heavens.

And the Yao Race and Human Race in the First Heaven... were actually all tainted by a curse, abandoned existences.

"Also, to prevent conflicts between the Human Race and the Beast Race, the heavenly barriers between the Second Heaven and Third Heaven are also sealed, isolating the two sides."

Yu Weichen said: "And above the Third Heaven, although the heavenly barrier still exists, it is not sealed. As long as one has sufficient cultivation, one can pass through."

After a few sentences, the two had already reached the heavenly barrier between the Third Heaven and Fourth Heaven. Indeed, although there was an obstruction here, it was not strong. In Zhong Qing's perception, he estimated that someone with the cultivation of a quasi-emperor could pass through at will.

As they passed through, they glimpsed a Secret Realm in the clouds from afar, where a figure sat, their gaze sweeping over them.

"That is the Guardian of the Third Heaven."

Yu Weichen said, nodding to that person.

The figure's gaze swept over Zhong Qing and also nodded in response. The two sides did not communicate.

"The Guardian here is actually just stationed there for daily duties. As long as there are no major problems, they won't obstruct anyone."

As they spoke, the two arrived at the Fourth Heaven.

This place was still the territory of the Yao Race, or rather, the Beast Race.

However, the Beast Race aura that Zhong Qing sensed here was much stronger than in the Third Heaven.

Yu Weichen seemed to know Zhong Qing's thoughts and smiled slightly.

"Don't think that our Human Race likes elaborate rituals and pays attention to hierarchy."

"The Beast Race is divided into countless races. They adhere to the law of the jungle, distinguishing only by strength. The gap in their Ranks and levels is actually much greater than in our Human Race."

"The Beast Race that can reside in the Fourth Heaven are those relatively powerful ones among the Ten Thousand Races."
