"As everyone knows, there are barriers between planes, and to pass through these barriers, one must at least reach the Immortal Emperor realm. Immortal Kings might also be able to, but it requires immense sacrifice! Even for us, traversing too many spatial barriers will weaken our strength..."
The Creation Great Emperor changed the subject, "However, the Shititian race has no such worries. Their physiques allow them to easily dissolve plane barriers, and they can freely traverse various planes without needing Immortal Emperor-level power. If it weren't for this innate ability, we would have wiped them out long ago!"
The other Great Emperors nodded in agreement. This Shititian race, despite its intimidating name, was actually at a disadvantage against humans when their paper strength was similar.
However, Chu Yang's eyes widened, "This means they can freely travel to our plane?"
"Why are you panicking? Can't you see the future?"
Chu Yang gave a wry smile, "I'm afraid my appearance might have caused a deviation in the original history."
"The laws of karma are difficult to defy. History is formed by the superposition of karma. However, we sense a mysterious aura from you, transcending karma itself. Therefore, any precognitive methods, when tracing back to you, will be shielded."
"So I don't have to worry?"
"Naturally. Do not underestimate plane barriers. They are what isolate the karma between planes. The Shititian race are the ones who disrupt karma, so everything your plane is currently experiencing will not influence their initial judgment in any way."
Chu Yang scratched his head, "Although both I and the readers are confused, I think I can understand it as: the things on me make the enemy's prophecies unable to detect my existence, so in their eyes, I won't be an unstable factor affecting history. Only when they open the plane barrier in three years will our karma intersect, right?"
"Your comprehension isn't bad at all?"
Following this, Chu Yang learned more about the Shititian race from them.
He also learned some interesting aspects of the Shititian race, such as the significance of the antennae on their heads.
Generally, humans understand charm starting from physical appearance.
But the Shititian race is different; the more aesthetically pleasing the antennae on one's forehead, the more charismatic they are.
If their antennae are damaged, it's equivalent to disfigurement.
This extensive discussion was highly beneficial for Chu Yang, allowing him to have a more concrete understanding of the enemies he would face in the future.
"Then, esteemed seniors, please enjoy your time. This junior will take his leave?"
"Go ahead, go ahead. Come chat more when you have time!"
...
After leaving the Ascension Pagoda, Chu Yang's mind stirred.
"Congratulations to the host, the progress of the immortal cultivation era has reached 30%. You have obtained a tiered gift package. Do you wish to open it?"
The growth of this progress had slowed down recently. The largest surge occurred during his last live stream when he demonstrated a mini-sun to the United States.
After that demonstration, the world's recognition of immortal cultivation became incredibly strong.
He also quickly reaped the cultivation of the entire world, opened the Immortal Gate, and stepped into the Immortal Realm.
He could now be considered a true immortal, but it wasn't enough. If he didn't reach the Immortal Emperor realm, he wouldn't be able to form the highest combat power in three years.
And Chu Yang himself would not cultivate, as he had a cheat. As long as the progress of the immortal cultivation era reached a certain level, his strength would naturally increase.
At this moment, he should be concerned about what this tiered gift package would give him.
Except for the Time Secret Realm, which could be reused due to its time rules, other items were non-renewable resources.
Just like the current Demon Spirit Realm, after three rounds of trials, there were basically no low-level demonic beasts left.
"Open!"
With a flash of golden light, a pile of rewards appeared before him.
"You have opened the tiered gift package and obtained: Spirit Stone Veins * 10, Book of Plane Anchors * 1, Time Secret Realm [City of Frost] * 1, Time Secret Realm [Thunderstorm Bamboo Forest] * 1, Book of Plane Anchors * 1."
Chu Yang's eyes widened, "So generous? All Time Secret Realms?"
Then how would he let people go for trials?
"Let's look at these two Time Secret Realms."
"Item Type: Time Secret Realm."
"Item Name: City of Frost."
"Function Description: Once a powerful faction, due to the loss of control of the Immortal Artifact [Lamp of Extreme Cold], the entire City of Frost was instantly frozen, and all living beings perished. Affected by the rules of time, the time flow is two hundred times that of the outside world. The limit for exploration is five hundred people."
"Next."
"Item Type: Time Secret Realm."
"Item Name: Thunderstorm Bamboo Forest."
"Function Description: A bamboo forest formed by [Lightning Devouring Bamboo]. Thunderstorms gather daily. If you want to experience heavenly tribulations, this is an excellent place. It is greatly beneficial to all lightning-attribute cultivators, provided they can withstand it. Affected by the rules of time, the time flow is two hundred times that of the outside world. Limited exploration人数: Host decides."
Chu Yang's mouth twitched slightly. The system's descriptions had become increasingly casual recently.
What he needed most now was time, so getting two Time Secret Realms was quite good. From their descriptions, [City of Frost] and [Deep Sea Dragon Palace] were likely of the same nature, with many opportunities waiting to be explored.
Based on the clues provided, there might also be an Immortal Artifact, the [Lamp of Extreme Cold], which also carried the risk of losing control. The destruction of this city was caused by this lamp.
"Are there no substitutes for the [Demon Spirit Realm]? Then how will I train Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators?"
But when he looked at the last reward, he was completely stunned.
"Holy crap! Book of Plane Anchors?"
Chu Yang's hands trembled. This item was, by far, the most valuable thing the system had given him!
First, it's important to understand what an anchor is.
Those who have played games might understand a bit; an anchor is essentially a locator, something that can determine the location of an object.
The [Book of Plane Anchors], as the name suggests, records the anchors of various planes.
Chu Yang read the description carefully again.
"Item Type: Magic Treasure."
"Item Name: Book of Plane Anchors."
"Function Description: Records the anchors of the five hundred planes before and after the host's current plane, centered on the host's plane."
