Not to mention the whole Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm.

Zhong Heng felt a slight shock in his heart.

In the past, there were quite a few secret realms in Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm.

However, most of the secret realms existed as cultivation secret realms or spirit medicine secret realms of sect dynasties.

Or perhaps as inheritance secret realms of great powers.

That such secret realms possessing their own civilization are rare indeed.

And now the Hundred Stars Alliance has a pile of such secret realms under its name.

"Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm shattered..." The term flashed across Zhong Heng’s mind.

From the bodies of these war slaves, one can barely discern the marks of Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm, perhaps... of the human race from Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm?

Only over time, they have entirely fused with the secret realms, and many have even transformed due to environmental influences?

Just what happened to the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm in the past?

One by one, the war slaves are either unconscious, sealed in crystals, or tightly secured by some spiritual artifact.

Many of the war slaves possess a rare spirit of mighty triumph among the Jiuzhou cultivators.

In Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm, only the most talented, the celestial pride confident of growing into heaven steppers have such self-assurance.

Because Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm is so enormous, even budding Qi Refining cultivators know this world is infinitely vast, where there are always others better and higher up.

And only those sets of secret realm individuals with limited exposure think their own world constitutes all and thus develop this aura.

Yet, when they encounter mighty cultivators from Jiuzhou, this aura still shatters.

Zhong Heng even spotted one or two war slaves at the Golden Core Realm, though they aren’t open to him.

On the other side are war slaves locked in cages one by one.

They are the yet-to-be-grown geniuses from the secret realm world.

There are no restrictions among this batch, and Zhong Heng can select them.

The strong war slaves on the other side have limitations, and Zhong Heng couldn’t see clearly.

It seems war slaves here can be clearly seen at a glance.

Their origins are written right next to them.

"The Hundred Stars Alliance indeed has numerous secret realms, roughly over twenty by a cursory glance..."

A white light flashed in Zhong Heng’s eyes.

Li Yue wasn’t surprised; Zhong Heng’s cultivation of some pupil skill had long been known.

Only outsiders don’t know that Zhong Heng doesn’t cultivate a pupil skill but possesses a type of pupil special physique, though this physique usually doesn’t grow on those with Five Spirit Roots.

Zhong Heng hasn’t taken any master, and no one has conducted a thorough investigation on him.

The young war slaves appear ranging from ages eleven or twelve to over twenty.

Their cultivation levels are generally not high.

Many do not purely possess human characteristics.

And the power they have is quite unique.

"This is..."

"As per father’s saying, ever since Jiuzhou shattered, secret realm individuals have been isolated from Jiuzhou for too long."

"Their cultivation systems have plenty of changes, though rooted in the path of cultivation, their essence has evolved."

"For instance, a secret realm world where Spiritual Qi is thin and only lingering spirit stone mines and special metal mines actually developed an extremely powerful Puppet Dao, contributing a lot to our Hundred Stars Alliance’s puppetry skill; this world has become one of our alliance’s few large secret realms."

"Another example is a world developing a stronger martial dao, some worlds excavating bloodlines, revealing the extremely thin demon race bloodline within our human race, transforming into half-demon..."

"However, even legendary pocket worlds can’t develop a cultivation system superior to the path of cultivation."

"The development of these worlds indeed adorned our path of cultivation quite a bit."

Li Yue said with a smile.

Zhong Heng increasingly felt Li Yue was not ordinary.

Regular medium-sized cultivation realm individuals, even second-generation immortals, rarely possess such insight.

Moreover, the Hundred Stars Alliance...

Zhong Heng felt a premonition that the Hundred Stars Alliance perhaps was more than meets the eye.

Zhong Heng’s gaze wandered around.

When he looked at one person, his heart stirred, and his River Map parsing ability was about to activate.

However, it again quickly calmed down.

This feeling... just as if the River Map recognized the wrong person.

"Such anomaly..."

Zhong Heng slightly frowned.

"Quite a bit similar to when seeing Yunmiao Master."

"Is it some special physique?"

Seeing Zhong Heng’s gaze fixed on one person, Li Yue hurriedly introduced

"That one is from the same world as the First Sword Cultivator, has a good physique, seemingly particularly suitable for cultivating martial dao..."

"But martial dao... is just that, maybe can convert to body cultivation..."

"After all, nowadays martial cultivation has branched into body cultivation... only resource consumption is rather high..."

"Of course, if it’s someone like Brother Zhong, an array genius, then it might not be that simple." Li Yue laughed heartily.

Zhong Heng was looking at a calmly sitting gray-robed ’youth’.

Sure enough, Zhong Heng could discern at once, the person was a female in disguise.

"That one."

"Alright, this kid’s cultivation level can be compared to Qi Refining Perfection, even if Foundation Establishment does not occur, she can protect Brother Zhong."

"I’ll fetch the slave contract for Brother Zhong..."

The ’youth’, hearing this, glanced at Zhong Heng, still maintaining a calm facade, kept cultivating continually, feeling the rich Spiritual Qi nonexistent in her original world. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

However, her clenched hand hinted at her tension.

Her name is Lin Wui

[You selected a war slave.]

[You exchanged communication jade talismans with Li Yue and realized through indirect questioning during talks with Hundred Stars Alliance people about Li Yue’s extraordinary identity.]

[This person is barely known within the alliance.]

[Coupled with this person’s conversational insight, you have a premonition that you’ll meet him again later or would need him.]

[Lin Wui felt a bit tense at first meeting you, yet pretended to be calm, and you could see this girl’s temperament was quite fine.]

[Slave seal was planted, and your existence expanded infinitely in her body and mind, henceforth, Lin Wui became your war slave.]

[After simple communication, you learned she hails from Celestial Universe World, having been an orphan since childhood, lived in her uncle’s home, to protect her family’s property always disguised as a male, her fame grew in martial dao followed by engagements annulled, pursuits, adventures, conspiracies, among others; of course, the engagement annulled after her disguise was exposed.]

[Young as she is, she is ranked top three on the Celestial Universe World list, and that Celestial List’s number one is the First Sword Cultivator Li Yue promoted to you.]

[You let her display briefly, you sensed the prowess in her fists and kicks; on further inspection, isn’t this girl an Innate Grandmaster!? How could that world have expanded beyond the path of an Innate Grandmaster? You felt an inexplicable thrill.]

Not only Zhong Heng, but Jiang Ming also had an interest.

Back then, Li Jin didn’t have a spirit root and managed to take half a step into innate martial dao, ultimately dying of old age.

Jiang Ming wanted to glimpse what future martial dao held.

[The path after Innate Grandmaster is called Heaven-and-Person, comparable to Foundation Establishment, but you felt a little disappointed, Heaven-and-Person still requires spirit roots, as Li Yue said, even if these secret realm worlds have other cultivation systems, they are still rooted in Jiuzhou’s path of cultivation.]

[However, the Heaven-and-Person system combined body cultivation and skill cultivation; rumored above Heaven-and-Person is Martial Arts Golden Core capable of solidifying martial arts dharma forms, you became rather intrigued, resembling somewhat the body cultivation method from your memory, possibly derived from similar methods.]

[Lin Wui’s martial dao accomplishments surprised you; you shared your martial arts techniques cultivated from Seven Extremes Sect with her, she integrated it in a day, reached mastery in three days.]

[Additionally, Lin Wui’s calm and composed nature makes her quite a capable assistant.]

[You realized you found a treasure, and continue focusing on arrays.]

[In the year five thousand and twenty of the New Source Era, you successfully advanced to Qi Refining Fifth Layer.]

[In the year five thousand and twenty-one of the New Source Era, you saved enough spirit stones, through Hundred Stars Alliance purchased the highest martial dao and a foundation-to-Golden Core body refining technique for Lin Wui from Celestial Universe World.]

[The cost for these techniques was higher than those for yourself, after all, your Five Elements Technique cultivation was adequately aligned.]

[In the year five thousand and twenty-four of the New Source Era, you successfully advanced to Qi Refining Sixth Layer.]

[In the year five thousand and thirty of the New Source Era, you successfully advanced to Qi Refining Seventh Layer.]
