Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1416 - 2: Realms of Cultivation in the Universe, the Tragic Experience of the Xia Dynasty! (Da Zhang)_2

"In the Xuanling Star Domain, any dynasty, basically with small territory, has appeared in the Xuanling Star Domain for a relatively short time. Unstable footing, usually relatively weak," Zhao Xing said.

"Is it like our Great Zhou?" Ji Che asked.

"Uh, no." Zhao Xing was a bit embarrassed: "This kind of weakness is relative. Any force that exists on the list of the Xuanling Star Domain has made a certain name. It occupies at least over ten thousand Boundary Stars or Small Worlds, whereas our Great Zhou at most can only be considered a Boundary Star-level force."

"Meaning it's similar to the Grass Head Mountain Village." Cloud Sky Dao added.

"..." Ji Che was speechless, how did he, an Emperor, become downgraded to a mountain king in the universe?

"No matter, I believe that in the near future, Great Zhou will surely stand at the top of the Xuanling Star Domain!"

"That's right, as long as there's confidence, the future will definitely succeed!" Zhao Xing supported.

"So the meaning of Ancient Country is long-lasting and strong?" Cloud Sky Dao continued to ask.

"Yes, anything called Ancient Country is to distinguish those fleeting dynasties and powerful nations." Zhao Xing said, "At least existed for more than ten epochs, at least needs to occupy a galaxy, owning over a million Life Realm Stars. These two points have to be met to count as an Ancient Country."

Ji Che widened his eyes, only now did he have some concept of what Zhao Xing had mentioned earlier.

To possess one million Xuanhuang Realms is the lowest threshold to be considered an Ancient Country? And this in the Xuanling Star Domain is certainly the weakest nation!

"The path of entrepreneurship, difficult and long indeed." Ji Che sighed internally, but such a vast stage only cemented his determination further. "I must strive to make Great Zhou an Ancient Country!"

"In the Xuanling Star Domain, there are about a hundred Ancient Countries." Zhao Xing said, "There are countless dynasties; however, dynasties with over ten thousand Boundary Stars are considered strong among them, but still not quite substantial."

"Back to what we originally talked about, [Red Star Empire], [Reincarnation Temple], [Ancient Hill], [Primordial Heavenly Palace], these are all super forces across star domains, transcending external matters, with influence not only in the Xuanling Star Domain but also in other Spiritual Energy Star Domains."

"Of course, if considering the Ancient Kingdoms Alliance comprehensively, it can also be regarded as a super force across star domains."

"Wait a moment," Cloud Sky Dao questioned, "Why call it the Ancient Desolate Domain Alliance, not the Ancient Country Alliance? Or perhaps call it the Xuanling Ancient Country Alliance?"

Zhao Xing answered, "This involves the environment of the Xuanling Star Domain."

"Long ago, roughly thirty epochs ago, Red Star Empire, Reincarnation Temple, Ancient Hill, Primordial Heavenly Palace and other forces found the Xuanling Star Domain appeared 'Desolate Domain phenomenon.'

"Due to continuous battles within the Xuanling Star Domain, the situation worsened, hence these super forces began to call these Ancient Countries those within the Desolate Domain and spread the prophecy: Within less than 100 epochs, the Desolate Domain will spread throughout, and in 1000 epochs, the entire Xuanling Star Domain will no longer be suitable for any major country to survive."

Ji Che realized, "So, it's like delivering a death notice to the Xuanling Star Domain?"

Zhao Xing nodded: "Exactly, later the Ancient Desolate Domain Alliance was established, began dedicating part of their efforts to the environmental issues of this star domain."

"However, the fighting continues, yesterday sworn blood allies, today at the city gates are commonplace."

"Only in the case of dealing with foreign races or invasions from other Spiritual Energy Star Domains will there be a temporary ceasefire to unite against external threats."

Peace is not possible, environmental issues? Doesn't concern me! Under my dynasty, the citizens can't even have enough to eat, confined to their homes, unable to roam the universe, still care about matters 1000 epochs from now?

Zhao Xing's previous life didn't hear of Yuanhai Ancient Country, he suspected Yuanhai Ancient Country might have been destroyed in war.

Of course, it's not necessary to mention this to Ji Che for now, better go investigate clearly, see what exactly the situation is.

Hearing Zhao Xing say so, Cloud Sky Dao's brows furrowed deeply with concern.

Weak Boundary Star-level forces find it exceedingly hard; what of the Da Xia Dynasty after an epoch from ascending, how have they fared? Struggling in a dire situation perhaps?

He just wanted to ask, but then Zhao Xing spoke:

"Alright, Qing Yu Zi has said so much, let's talk about the cultivation realms in the universe."

"Above Ascension Realm is the Origin Realm." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"The Origin stage is divided into three major realms."

"First Realm is the Birth Realm." Zhao Xing said leisurely, "Explaining the mysteries of the Origin Realm must be divided from two perspectives."

"One is those who excel at spells, focus on spells, soul, perceiving the mysteries of the universe on the path of spells."

"The other is those who excel at martial arts, focus on the body, develop physical potential, continuously raising the upper limit of the physique."

"Due to Establishing Tao Realm step, the Martial Artist path and Spell path have already shown large divergence, promotion and power systems greatly differ as well."

"For example, a Martial Artist establishing Tao, soul and body have already merged, body is soul, soul is body, to kill a Martial Artist, just destroy the physical body entails a complete kill."

"Correspondingly, a Martial Artist upgrade, physical body upgrade, is the realm upgrade."

"Spell path, both soul and physical body must upgrade, it's just the conditions for the physical body upgrade are much easier, able to accommodate the spiritual energy of the corresponding realm."

Ji Che nodded: "I understand this, if comparing the body to a house, a Martial Artist's house is sturdier and reliable, able to withstand wind and rain."

"A Mage's house, just needs to be habitable, superficially ornate."
