The sky was faintly lit, and Li Yao's long eyelashes fluttered slightly before her eyes opened.
After glancing around, a trace of loneliness and reluctance appeared on Li Yao's face.
Li Yao knew that her Xuan ge, Li Xuan, had left.
"Xuan ge, believe me, I will never be a burden to you!" Li Yao stood up, then circulated her spiritual energy, instantly dispelling the smell of alcohol from her body.
What Li Xuan did not know was that many years later, in the Underworld, under Li Yao's leadership, the Ghost Domain was merged, ultimately becoming the peak power in the Nine-Dimensional World.
Ultimate Continent, Northern Region.
On this day, a figure appeared in Luoyue City, dusty and travel-worn.
"This Ultimate Continent truly has an abundance of talents," the person said, looking at the endless stream of pedestrians within the city, his face full of emotion.
This person was Li Xuan, who had left the Underworld.
From the Heavenly Dao Brush, Li Xuan learned that to improve further, he had to enter a higher-dimensional world continent.
And this Ultimate Continent was the ultimate existence of the Nine-Dimensional World.
It had to be admitted that the Ultimate Continent was powerful. Li Xuan took just one glance and noticed that cultivators at the Divine Entrance Realm and Soul Breaking Realm were everywhere in this city.
Beings like Li Xuan, who were at the Realm Integration Realm, were as numerous as blades of grass.
"Young Master, are you really not planning to break through? The prodigies and monsters on this Ultimate Continent are countless," the Heavenly Dao Brush's voice echoed in Li Xuan's mind.
Li Xuan smiled upon hearing this and transmitted his thoughts, "Let's take it one step at a time. I feel I can still suppress it."
Li Xuan had indeed considered breaking through his realm, but in the end, reason triumphed over desire. While breaking through the realm might make him seem more powerful, it served no other purpose.
More importantly, Li Xuan understood that only by pushing his limits could he unleash even greater potential. If not for this, how could Li Xuan have defeated that Ming Yuan Ji when he was at the peak of the Realm Integration Realm?
"Young Master, with your approach, you are truly accumulating strength for a breakthrough. Once you break through in the future, I fear you will be able to contend with even advanced or peak Boundless Realm experts," the Heavenly Dao Brush sighed with emotion.
Li Xuan smiled and then said, "Little Brush, tell me about this Ultimate Continent."
Li Xuan had entered the Ultimate Continent through the guidance of the Heavenly Dao Brush, so the Brush naturally knew all about it. Since that was the case, Li Xuan saw no need to gather information from wine shops or teahouses as he had done before.
"Alright," the Heavenly Dao Brush responded readily.
Soon, with the Heavenly Dao Brush's explanation, Li Xuan's understanding of the Ultimate Continent deepened.
The Ultimate Continent was divided into five regions: East, West, North, South, and Central. In addition to this, there were four peak powers on the Ultimate Continent.
The Endless Fire Region, ruled by Xiao Yan, known as the Flame Emperor.
The Martial Realm, ruled by Lin Dong, known as the Martial Ancestor.
The Mu Manor, ruled by Mu Chen, known as the Shepherd Lord.
The Hao Heaven Domain, ruled by Shi Hao, known as the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.
The five regions and the four peak powers were collectively known as the Ultimate.
Of course, there were also many first-rate powers besides these, such as the Undying Tribe, Sword Sect, Tai Yi Clan, Rune Sect, Witch Tribe, and so on.
Regarding the realm divisions, in addition to the Boundless Realm that Li Xuan was already aware of, there were also the Dao-less Realm, Boundary-less Realm, Destiny Realm, Destiny Body Realm, and Destiny Soul Realm above it.
The rulers of the five regions and the leaders of the four peak powers were all at the peak of the Destiny Soul Realm.
"Young Master, the world continents you have experienced and witnessed before were, in the end, merely trivial matters. Although this Ultimate Continent might seem weak compared to some other continents, it is already an extremely high existence at present," the Heavenly Dao Brush said.
Li Xuan nodded upon hearing this. After so much experience, Li Xuan understood that there must be existences far superior to this Ultimate Continent. However, as the Heavenly Dao Brush said, this Ultimate Continent was enough for Li Xuan to strive for a long time.
After all, there were a full nine realms separating the peak of the Realm Integration Realm and the peak of the Destiny Soul Realm.
Buzz!
At this moment, a buzzing sound suddenly rang out from the firmament.
The next moment, everyone in Luoyue City stopped and looked up at the sky.
"The Ultimate Continent's decision has been made: the Human Ranking of the Heaven and Earth Rankings will be opened in three months. All those who make the list will receive a divine-grade cultivation technique or spiritual treasures of the same level."
"The top one hundred on the list can join any of the major powers."
"The top ten on the list can become direct disciples!"
After the voice fell, the sky and the earth instantly returned to clarity.
For a moment, the four directions were shaken!
