Ancestral Mystic Realm

The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan flew ahead, with Wu Qingfeng and the Jade Spear King naturally following behind.

"Do you see that?" The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan pointed to the endless, surging, colorful, dreamlike river in the distance.

"Let me show you closer." As soon as the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan finished speaking, Wu Qingfeng and the Jade Spear King felt a blur before their eyes... They had instantly teleported several light-years and arrived near the endless, vast river.

"This must be the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, the most treasured artifact of the Ancestral God Sect?" Wu Qingfeng sighed, holding his breath. This was not a river at all, but countless aurora beams, each of five colors, forming an endless river... Before, when it was light-years away, it was still possible to discern the shape of a river, but up close it felt as vast as the horizon.

"Is this the legendary Five-Colored Aurora Lake of the Ancestral Mystic Realm?" Jade Spear King exclaimed in surprise.

"You two do have some knowledge." The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan looked at Wu Qingfeng and the Jade Spear King with surprise, and praised them with a smile, "Yes, this is the Five-Colored Aurora Lake."

"A lake?" Jade Spear King wondered. Up close, it seemed boundless, and from afar, it appeared as a rushing river with no end in sight.

"Of course it's a lake," said the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan. "You thought it was a river from where you were just now, but if you flew above the entire river and looked down... you would see that it is an almost circular, endless lake. This Five-Colored Aurora Lake... has a maximum diameter of 10 light-years and its power is boundless. Each aurora alone, if it were to unleash its full power, would be enough to severely injure a Universe Venerable. And the entire lake is composed of endless aurora, with infinite power! It is one of the strongest treasures in the vast universe."

"This Five-Colored Aurora Lake is the most precious protective treasure of our Ancestral God Sect!" exclaimed the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan. "With such a protective treasure, who would dare to trespass on our Ancestral God Sect?"

"One of the most powerful treasures in the universe? A treasure for protecting the faith?" Jade Spear King exclaimed in amazement.

"As expected of the Ancestral God Sect, the number one power in the universe." Wu Qingfeng exclaimed in amazement, his mind turning to the Star Tower. Having read the original story, he knew that it was the number one treasure in the primordial universe, even the entire cosmic sea.

The countless auroras visible on the surface of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake possess boundless power and serve as a supreme protective treasure for the universe's greatest power.

"I can actually see a lake with five-colored aurora borealis," Jade Spear King exclaimed in amazement. "It's quite an eye-opener."

"To even catch a glimpse of the universe's most powerful treasure is pure luck," the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan said with a hint of pride. He then added, "Don't your four major clans have one of the universe's most powerful treasures, the 'Star Tower,' on your extraterritorial battlefield? It's a treasure that countless powerful beings have been unable to shake or forcibly take away. To this day, countless powerful beings in the universe still don't know its true power. In short, it has no master yet."

"The Star Tower is one of the most powerful treasures?" Jade Spear King exclaimed in surprise.

"It seems you don't know much either."

The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan shook his head and smiled, "The Star Tower is the most easily seen, strongest, and most mysterious treasure in the universe. No one can unravel its true secrets, nor can anyone take it away. It stands there... for endless ages, and no one can take it away."

Wu Qingfeng thought to himself, "What's so great about him? Once I take Luo Feng as my disciple, he'll still be my disciple."

"Enough talk, I'll take you to Purple Thorn Island." The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan teleported directly with Wu Qingfeng and the other two.

The starry sky shifted, and in a flash, I found myself at the edge of the colorful aurora lake, only a few hundred meters away—too close.

Each streak of aurora was about 10,000 kilometers long, and its vast and unparalleled power terrified Wu Qingfeng and the Jade Spear King.

"Do you see it? Purple Thorn Island is right there." The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan pointed to the depths of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake.

"What? Inside the Five-Colored Aurora Lake?" The two looked over in surprise.

Indeed, an island could be vaguely seen, but it appeared very blurry under the endless aurora.

"Come in." The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan flew directly into it.

"Go in? This aurora has limitless power," Jade Spear King couldn't help but say.

"Don't worry, this is one of the most powerful treasures in the universe. It won't harm anything it approves of. You both have the Beast God Inheritance Token, so you'll be fine coming in," said the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan.

Jade Spear King looked at Wu Qingfeng and said, "Your Highness, let me try first." With that, he took a step to the closest point to Aurora Lake and reached out to touch a streak of aurora flying towards him.

After touching...

The aurora, like flowing water, circled around the Jade Spear King's arm without causing any attack.

The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan watched this scene without saying anything. He had seen it many times before. All the inheritors who came here were cautious and did not easily believe what others said.

"Let's go in," said Jade Spear King.

Wu Qingfeng was secretly grateful but didn't say much. He followed the Jade Spear King into the Five-Colored Aurora Lake.

It felt as if we were traveling through real lake water. During the flight, the aurora borealis touched our bodies and felt incredibly comfortable. As we got closer, the Bauhinia Island seemed to grow larger and larger.

"Purple Thorn Island is where you inheritors of the Beast Gods reside, and it is also the outermost edge of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake." As the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan spoke, they had already arrived at Purple Thorn Island.

Zijing Island, with a diameter of millions of kilometers, has no aurora borealis within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers around it.

call out!call out!call out!

Three streaks of light swiftly flew into it and landed on Zijing Island. They were none other than the Venerable of the Feicang Clan, Wu Qingfeng, and the Jade Spear King.

"So many palaces." Wu Qingfeng glanced around and saw countless palaces densely packed on the distant land, as well as on some mountain ranges. There were countless palaces of various styles, and many of them exuded powerful auras. These powerful auras made Wu Qingfeng frown inwardly. "It seems that many powerful people live on this Purple Thorn Island."

"Look," the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan pointed to the sky.

"Hmm?" Wu Qingfeng looked at the sky, where rings of light and shadow were enveloping the entire Purple Thorn Island. These rings of light and shadow were constantly expanding, disappearing at the edges. And new rings of light were being created in the center of the rings.

One aperture within another, just like ripples on the surface of water.

It continued to spread outwards.

Birth, annihilation.

Birth, annihilation.

So endless...

Each ring of light and shadow is composed of countless threads of laws, including the laws of time, space, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, and light, as well as many fusion laws and even more incredibly mysterious threads of laws, all intertwined to make each ring of light perfectly complete.

Wu Qingfeng was completely immersed in it, staring at the Law of Light and Time Fusion. His comprehension of the fusion law was ten times faster than in the outside world. It was truly astonishing; the cyclical and illusory light ring seemed to explain all the mysteries of the universe. The comprehension of the laws here was somewhat similar to the external manifestation of the laws in Chaos City, both of which could accelerate the comprehension of laws, but Chaos City did not offer such a fusion law comprehension.

"You two!" the Venerable of the Fei Cang clan shouted.

Wu Qingfeng and Jade Spear King both woke up with a start.

"This, this is..." Jade Spear King exclaimed in astonishment, "This is unbelievable, this is simply..."

"This is an outward manifestation of the laws governing the universe." The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan looked up, his eyes like copper bells. "Our Ancestral God Sect is the greatest power in the universe, with upholding the laws governing the universe as its core principle, and naturally, it is also protected by the primordial will of the universe!"

"Our Ancestral God Sect possesses the Ancestral Mystic Realm... which boasts the most unique life forms and the most unique treasures in the universe. The Five-Colored Aurora Lake was also bestowed upon our Ancestral God Sect by the laws of the universe," the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan said confidently. "The actions of our Ancestral God Sect are in accordance with the will of the primordial universe. Anyone who defies the Ancestral God Sect is defying the will of the primordial universe!"

"That's domineering enough," Jade Spear King muttered to himself.

"Hmph, seems you don't believe me?"

The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan glanced at the two of them and said, "You will understand after living here for hundreds of millions of years."

"Follow me. The first thing we need to do is build a residence on this Purple Thorn Island." The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan said, striding forward. Wu Qingfeng and Jade Spear King quickly followed. Using the laws of space, each step covered thousands of kilometers, which was quite fast.

Walking on Purple Thorn Island, one can see palaces of various styles in the distance, as well as powerful beings from all races of the universe. Billions of races, mysterious and different forms and essences of life exist everywhere, each with a powerful aura, and many of them are special life forms.

"How many people live on this Bauhinia Island?" Wu Qingfeng asked curiously.

"Apart from the island lord, everyone else on Zijing Island is an inheritor. I am only temporarily leading you here; I will leave soon," said the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan. "The number of inheritors is vast. Since the birth of the universe, the accumulated number of inheritors is astonishing. You can calculate it yourself. Even if your human race has only a few hundred inheritors since the birth of the universe, what about the entire universe? You must know that the universe is fair. The inheritance tokens bestowed by my Ancestral God Sect are distributed throughout the universe. The billions of races in the universe... when accumulated, are naturally hundreds of millions of times greater than humanity."

"Hundreds of billions?" Wu Qingfeng's eyes widened. He really couldn't remember whether the original work recorded such a detail.

"So many inheritors?" Even the Jade Spear King couldn't believe it.

"The universe is vast, and your human race is but a part of it," said the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan. "The exact number of inheritors since the birth of the universe is impossible to calculate. I'm afraid that apart from the supreme ancestral gods, very few people know. Of course, there aren't that many on Zijing Island. Currently, Zijing Island has over one hundred million residents."

"Over one hundred million?" Jade Spear King asked疑惑地, "What about the other inheritors in history?"

"If the inheritor dies, even if the Lord of the Universe reverses time and resurrects, he would be reluctant to revive your inheritance token. The price of reviving the Beast God's inheritance token is too high, and the Lord of the Universe is also reluctant to do so," said the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan. "And every inheritor has an inheritance token. From the moment you enter here, the inheritance token is linked to your life. If you die, the inheritance token will shatter, and you will no longer be able to give it to others."

"Many of the strong have died, so only a little over 100 million inheritors remain," said the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan.

……

As they talked, the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan walked to a hillside beside a river and instructed, "You two shall build palaces here. Remember, each palace shall occupy no more than one kilometer in length and width. Even those demons or star beasts with enormous divine bodies shall shrink their divine bodies to live in them. No one shall be an exception."

The two nodded. Along the way, they saw countless palaces, none of which were more than a kilometer in length and width.

"besides!"

"You can leave tokens in your palaces, and then you can be directly teleported here from the divine kingdom," said the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan. "This Purple Thorn Island will also be a place you visit frequently in the future, unless you perish."

"If you have soul servants, remember, never bring them out," said the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan. "Once they are brought out, they will be attacked by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake and instantly annihilated... Even if you really have to bring them out, at most they should stay in your own palace. The palace is your territory. Once you leave the palace, you must never bring your servants out. Of course, life forms with vassal attributes, such as plant life forms and metal life forms, are fine."

"Understood." Wu Qingfeng and Jade Spear King listened attentively.

"Follow me." The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan continued to lead the two of them. His responsibility was to guide them, so he naturally had to tell them some basic information.

After a while.

Arriving at the highest mountain range on the entire Bauhinia Island, there is only one magnificent palace on the mountain, which stretches for thousands of kilometers.

"You inheritors are no exception; even palaces have restrictions, but the island lord has no such restrictions." The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan pointed to the majestic palace. "That is the palace of the Purple Thorn Island Lord. Let's go there."

Treading on the mountain range.

"Look up," the Venerable of the Fei Cang clan pointed to the sky.

Wu Qingfeng and Jade Spear King looked up.

"This is--"

The two witnessed a magnificent and unbelievable scene. Looking up from this vantage point, they could see a crack in the Five-Colored Aurora Lake. Through this crack, they could see a dazzlingly large palace deep within the core of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake. Around this palace, which radiated endless light, eight slightly smaller palaces floated.

"That is the true core of the Ancestral God Sect." The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan pointed into the distance and said enviously, "That largest palace is the Ancestral God Palace! It is the place where the Ancestral Gods reside. Although our Ancestral God Sect has three Ancestral Gods, usually only one is stationed in the core area."

"The eight smaller palaces surrounding the Ancestral God Palace are the Eight Directions Beast God Palaces, which are the residences of the eight great beast gods."

"The more than ten palaces surrounding the Eight Directions Beast God Temple are the Guardian Beast God Temples."

"Outside the Temple of the Guardian Beast God, there are 72 continents. Of course, from our perspective, we can only see 63 continents... Those are the continents where the 72 Divine Generals reside, known as the Divine General Continents. It is said that each Divine General Continent is no less than the Purple Thorn Island."

"The outermost dense cluster of stars comprises 3000 star worlds, and each star world... is also the residence of a divine messenger."

"The Ancestral God Palace, the Eight Directions Beast God Temple, the Guardian Beast God Temple, the 72 Divine General Continent, and the 3000 Divine Envoy World—this is the core of the Ancestral God Sect."

The Venerable of the Fei Cang tribe sighed.

"Besides this core area, there are also islands in the Five-Colored Aurora Lake. In addition to your Purple Thorn Island, there are many other scattered islands, where peripheral members of the Ancestral God Sect live," said the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan.

"The candidates for divine envoy, the candidates for divine general, and the inheritors of powerful beast gods are all peripheral members," said the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan. Seeing the two's surprised expressions, he sneered, "Humans, do you think there are free lunches in the universe? Remember, the universe is fair. Our Ancestral God Sect will naturally reap some rewards for its efforts."

"The Divine Envoy Inheritance Crystal, the numerous Divine General Inheritance Sites, and the many Beast God Inheritance Sites in the Ancestral Mystic Realm—each of these came at a great cost," said the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan. "You have gained benefits, so of course you have to pay some price."

"but--"

"The Ancestral God Sect doesn't care about the weak either."

"Therefore, those who receive the inheritance of divine messengers or divine generals, unless they obtain the complete inheritance, do not need to work for the Ancestral God Sect. It is equivalent to being given it for free," said the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan. "But obtaining the complete inheritance is different. For example, the inheritance of divine generals... once the complete inheritance is received, the entire inheritance site will collapse directly, which means that an inheritance site is gone."

"The candidates for divine messenger and divine general have all received the complete inheritance."

"And powerful Beast God cultivators are those who have reached an extremely high level of Beast God inheritance, very close to the complete Beast God inheritance. It should be noted that the Ancestral God Sect paid a greater price for the Beast God inheritance, and these powerful Beast God inheritance cultivators naturally have to pay some price as well," said the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan. "These are the outer members."
