Chapter 148: Sanli’s Heavenly Realm

Translator: yikaii Editor: yikaii

“What heavenly realm?” Meng Jingzhou wasn’t present during the harsh interrogation.

Lu Yang explained: “The person we were interrogating is called Sanli Zhenren. He left behind a heavenly realm where only cultivators at the Foundation Building stage or below can enter, hiding his lifetime of treasures.”

“The lifetime wealth of a Unity Stage?” Meng Jingzhou gasped. Lu Yang didn’t grasp how astonishing the wealth of a Unity Stage could be, but Meng Jingzhou did. Just looking at the elders in his family, he knew it was a fortune that couldn’t be squandered in a lifetime, something he had always envied.

If they could obtain it, or even just a fraction, that would be a fortune.

Even for a behemoth like the Dao Seeking Sect, the wealth of a Unity Stage couldn’t be ignored!

“And only those at the Foundation Building stage can enter, heh heh, isn’t this giving us two an opportunity?” Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou chuckled. Such a realm, restricted by cultivation level, was perfect for them to showcase their abilities.

Eldest Senior Sister bringing them here must be considering their talents, wanting the two of them to enter the heavenly realm.

The cloud flew at incredible speed. To those looking up from the ground, a cloud flashed by in the blink of an eye, so fast it seemed like an illusion.

Soon, the trio arrived at the location mentioned by Sanli Zhenren.

The regional divisions of the Great Yu era were different from today’s. According to the current terms, Sanli Zhenren’s heavenly realm was located in Huayun County, East Ji State, at the Da Lang Mountain, under the sixteenth tree counting down from the top.

Yun Zhi caressed the tree trunk, feeling the spatial fluctuations, confirming the existence of a heavenly realm here.

The location of the heavenly realm was concealed and difficult to detect. Even someone as powerful as Yun Zhi needed to be very close to know whether a heavenly realm existed.

Sanli Zhenren’s heavenly realm had yet to be discovered by others.

Yun Zhi gently flicked the tree trunk with the backs of her index and middle fingers. Accompanied by a distortion, a pitch-black hole appeared in front of them.

The entrance was a black vortex, continuously spinning with runes flashing inside, indicating it was bound by 【rules】, a privately owned heavenly realm that could not be easily entered.

The entry rule for this heavenly realm was that only those under twenty years old at the Foundation Building stage could enter.

Just as Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou thought Eldest Senior Sister was going to let them in, they saw Eldest Senior Sister grab the edges of the black vortex and forcefully tear open a huge gap, shattering all rules in that moment, rendering all restrictions ineffective against Eldest Senior Sister.

Lu Yang: “……”

Meng Jingzhou: “……”

Wasn’t this supposed to be their moment to shine? Why did it differ from their expectations?

Were they redundant here? Then why did Eldest Senior Sister bring them along?

Lu Yang voiced his question, and Yun Zhi tilted her head to think for a moment: “When we left the Prison Peak, didn’t you both just come up? I didn’t call for you, did I?”

Alright, they really were redundant.

Inside the spiritual space, Everlasting Fairy laughed till she doubled over.

The trio entered the heavenly realm, and upon looking around, they found themselves in a vast plain. Elephants leisurely ate leaves, lions chased after antelopes, biting their necks in one go. On another side of the plain was a lush rainforest, with enormous creatures moving through the trees.

Lu Yang felt his cultivation level being suppressed, limiting him to the capabilities of the Late Qi Cultivation stage.

Then, clouds formed conspicuous text in front of them.

【This place is dangerous, leave quickly】

【This place is dangerous, leave quickly】

【This place is dangerous, leave quickly】

【If you insist on entering, please remember the rules of Sanli’s Heavenly Realm, they may save your life】

【Rule 1: Everyone’s cultivation will be suppressed to the 9th layer of Qi Cultivation phase】

【Rule 2: Unable to contact the outside world】

【Rule 3: Sanli’s Heavenly Realm only has grasslands, no rainforest. If you see a rainforest, please do not enter】

【Rule 4: Lions are kind. If a lion chases you, do not run away; it only wants to play with you】

【Rule 5: Antelopes are bipedal beasts with spiraling horns on their heads. It is normal for antelopes to laugh, please do not be afraid】

【Rule 6: There are no elephants on the grassland. If you see an elephant, be sure to seek protection from a lion; the lion will protect you】

【Rule 7: If you accidentally enter the rainforest, do not panic. Staying calm is essential for survival in the rainforest】

【Rule 8: The gorillas in the rainforest are humans in disguise, so it is normal for them to speak, but they will not initiate conversation】

【Rule 9: The water in the rainforest is not drinkable】

【Rule 10: If you encounter a Foundation Building stage beast, imitate the call of a gorilla; the beast will leave you alone】

【Rule 11: All the above rules are true】

Then Lu Yang saw several lines written in blood at his feet, the writing hasty as if left in a hurry.

【Hurry and run, this place is dangerous!】

【Something strange has happened here!】

【Note! The rules I’m writing down are the real rules of Sanli’s Heavenly Realm!】

【Sanli’s Heavenly Realm has both grasslands and rainforests, but the rainforest is safer than the grassland!】

【Lions have the cultivation of the Golden Core stage and will eat humans on sight!】

【Antelopes do not walk upright. If you hear the laughter of antelopes, leave quickly!】

【Elephants will protect you!】

【Stay calm in the rainforest!】

【Do not initiate conversation with the gorillas, or you will become one!】

【If you feel something odd with your body, drink the water from the rainforest immediately, it could save your life!】

【Do not mimic the call of the gorillas; it will attract Golden Core stage beasts!】

【The rules of Sanli’s Heavenly Realm are all false…】

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were chilled to the bone upon seeing the bloodstains.

The writing of the blood was incomplete, the last character trailed off into a long bloodstain, as if someone desperately crawled out of the heavenly realm, only to be bitten and dragged back by some unknown terror, leaving behind a striking trail of blood.

The duo’s scalp tingled. What was inside this heavenly realm?

“These rules are very problematic, full of contradictions. Which is correct, the previous set of rules or the latter?”

“Based on our experience in Commoner Town, the first set of rules seems more formal and correct?”

“Not necessarily. It doesn’t say that the more formal rules are correct. The latter, seemingly written in haste, could also be a form of rule, right?”

The two found it hard to decide. Now at only the 9th layer of Qi Cultivation, with the realm filled with Foundation Building and Golden Core stage beasts, they could not overpower them and had to rely on wits. But with two sets of rules and no way to discern truth from falsehood, a wrong choice could mean certain death, no redemption!

“Don’t panic, there must be a way to solve this. One says lions are kind, the other says lions will eat people; one says elephants will kill, the other says elephants can protect us. We can try to bring lions and elephants together to see who can protect us. This way, we can determine which set of rules is the real one…”

“Is it possible that both sets of rules are half-true and half-false, designed to trap people?”

“This is troublesome.”

Just as they were racking their brains for a way to survive, Yun Zhi raised her arm, revealing her fair wrist, and lightly struck out with her palm.

This was clearly not a strike from the Qi Cultivation phase. The wind carried terrifying power, howling wildly, scaring lions, antelopes, elephants, and gorillas into running away.

Whether predator or protector, faced with this strike, there was no difference; only flight was an option.

This strike cleaved through both the grassland and the rainforest, creating a direct path to the destination.

How could the rules of this place possibly restrain Yun Zhi?
