Chapter 30: Entering the Eternal Realm for the First Time

The journey from Mist Rock Star to Seven Waters Star was long, and after waiting over a year on Seven Waters Star, it took a full two years to reach the Great Mo Eternal Realm. This was already considered short, mainly because many traveled to the Great Mo Eternal Realm, as it was the core of the entire Great Mo Region and gathered the most powerful forces of the region.

"Whoosh."

Inside the spacetime teleportation array, Ji Ning and the other cultivators appeared. As for Fire Fairy Su Youji, she was naturally put away by Ji Ning into his cave treasure.

"So this is the Great Mo Eternal Realm?" Ji Ning walked out of the array and looked at this vast, boundless world. With a wave of his hand, Fire Fairy Su Youji appeared beside him.

"Do you sense it?" Su Youji appeared and smiled at Ji Ning.

"Hmm..."

Ji Ning nodded slightly. "Such a peculiar feeling."

An ordinary chaos world, Ji Ning could easily destroy, but the Great Mo Eternal Realm gave him a feeling of being lofty, a vast sense of包容 and invincibility.

"Indeed, I can't fly." Ji Ning tried to fly but couldn't.

"Truly miraculous, just like the legends. The legends say the Great Mo Eternal Realm completely forbids flight, and it's really true." Ji Ning tested it; when he tried to fly, a mysterious and unfathomable rule power descended upon him, making it impossible to fly.

Legends...

Every Eternal Realm, when created by that great existence, would establish some rules.

For example, 'forbid fire,' then all power of fire within this Eternal Realm could not be used.

For example, 'forbid swords,' then no matter how skilled a sword master, they could not draw upon the power of the 'Source of Swords,' and could not even draw their sword!

And other special rules...

Whatever the creator established, later comers had to obey.

The rule within the Great Mo Eternal Realm was 'forbid flight.' No matter what creature, even birds, could not fly! In this world, nothing could fly.

Of course, if one's strength reached a certain level, it might be possible to resist. For example, 'Great Mo Dao Lord' might be able to forcibly fly... but that was only a possibility, because no one had ever seen Great Mo Dao Lord fly within the 'Great Mo Eternal Realm.' Due to absolute worship of Great Mo Dao Lord, it was believed he had means to break this rule's束缚! There was also another possibility—Great Mo Dao Lord couldn't fly either!

As for others?

No World-level cultivator could break the rules, let alone Ancestral Immortals or Ancestral Gods.

"But being in the Eternal Realm is truly comfortable." Ji Ning said softly, "This world is incomparably solid, gently包容 every comer, and the mind naturally becomes calm."

"This is also why many cultivators like to live in the Great Mo Eternal Realm, and many forces want to occupy it, but only the strongest 'Great Mo Court' has the qualification to occupy it!" Fire Fairy Su Youji said.

"Let's go, we're heading to Yibo City." Ji Ning immediately started walking.

The two walked side by side, but their speed was very fast.

...

Yibo City was the most prosperous city in the Great Mo Eternal Realm, with an extremely ancient history. It had existed since this Eternal Realm was created! Its history was naturally much older than the 'Great Mo Court.' The Great Mo Court had destroyed the previous force to occupy this Eternal Realm and renamed it 'Great Mo Eternal Realm.'

Yibo City was very close to the spacetime teleportation array.

Ji Ning and Fire Fairy Su Youji only walked for half an hour before reaching the foot of the mountain of Yibo City.

"So tall." Ji Ning looked up.

This was a mountain a million miles high. At the mountain's peak, above the clouds, sat a huge city—that was Yibo City.

"Let's climb." Ji Ning laughed, "It's been a very long time since I last climbed a mountain."

"Climbing step by step, this is the feeling of a mortal." Su Youji also smiled.

The mountain path wound around the mountain in circles. In the past, Ji Ning would have flown directly to the city gate of Yibo City, but now he had to climb slowly step by step. In the Eternal Realm, flight was impossible everywhere.

"This Eternal Realm is vast beyond compare, much larger than a chaos world." Ji Ning walked on the mountain path, sighing, "I've heard there are many ancient ruins in this Eternal Realm."

"Yes." Su Youji nodded, "I've heard there are over ten."

Ancient ruins that had never been fully conquered, over ten in the Great Mo Eternal Realm!

Mainly because the Great Mo Eternal Realm was too vast...

"We're here." Su Youji pointed ahead.

The mountain top itself was only a few hundred miles in circumference, but it supported a city tens of thousands of miles in circumference. The city's base was only attached to the mountain top, making it appear as if it were floating. Ji Ning and Su Youji followed the mountain path to the city gate.

On the city wall were the characters 'Yibo.'

"Yibo..." Ji Ning looked up at those two characters and sensed an extremely mysterious fluctuation.

But this fluctuation was too difficult to grasp; sensing it made Ji Ning very strained and uncomfortable.

Mainly because the gap was too great.

Ji Ning wanted to break free but couldn't; the two characters continuously emitted fluctuations.

"Pfft." Ji Ning spat out a mouthful of blood and then came to.

"Didn't you know not to stare at those two characters?" Fire Fairy Su Youji asked beside him.

"I know, but I still wanted to take a look. After all, looking won't kill me." Ji Ning laughed, "Truly formidable. Just two characters made me spit blood. I didn't comprehend anything, only felt unfathomable." In legends, not to mention Ji Ning, even World-level experts would spit blood when looking at these two characters.

According to common sense, when occupying an Eternal Realm, one would usually rename it.

The Great Mo Court occupied it and renamed the Eternal Realm 'Great Mo Eternal Realm.' But the most prosperous Yibo City was not renamed, because the characters 'Yibo' were inviolable. These two characters were the city's core, possessing supreme power. They had always been there, and even if someone wanted to rename it, other cultivators would still call it Yibo City.

Thus, many cultivators suspected that when the Great Mo Eternal Realm was created long ago, it should have been called 'Yibo Eternal Realm.'

"I wonder who wrote these two characters." Fire Fairy Su Youji sighed, "Perhaps the one who wrote them was even stronger than Great Mo Dao Lord."

"Yes." Ji Ning nodded.

That was also normal.

Even among Dao Lords, there were differences in strength. That Su Feng Dao Lord, didn't he have a Dao Lord among his followers?

Thinking of the power of those ancient existences, Ji Ning's heart stirred. Then he and Fire Fairy Su Youji entered 'Yibo City.' Yibo City was the most prosperous city, with a basic rule—no fighting within the city! Violators would be attacked by the city's formations and restrictions.

"Truly prosperous." Ji Ning walked on the wide streets, seeing Ancestral Gods and Ancestral Immortals everywhere, and True Gods and True Immortals even more numerous.

"Probably nearly half of the cultivators in the entire Great Mo Region gather here." Su Youji said, "Even World-level cultivators, there are over a thousand in Yibo City."

Ji Ning nodded.

This was a powerful and safest place; no one dared to act here.

But once outside Yibo City, fighting was unregulated.

"Is that the Ten Thousand Treasures Palace?" Ji Ning looked into the distance. By the roadside was a huge palace radiating countless lights, emitting various fluctuations. Each fluctuation represented a Dao weapon. The palace deliberately displayed fluctuations of over a hundred Dao weapons.

"Yes, this is the Ten Thousand Treasures Palace, the place with the most treasures in all of Yibo City. Here, you can buy any treasure you want! You can even custom-order Dao weapons, and even legendary treasures with 'Source' can be bought if you pay enough, but the price is terrifying." Fire Fairy Su Youji sighed.

Ji Ning nodded. He knew that the owner of the Ten Thousand Treasures Palace was Great Mo Dao Lord!

Asking Great Mo Dao Lord to capture ten or twenty World Gods as slaves might cost less than a treasure with Source. To buy such a treasure... the price was unimaginable, enough to drive World Gods mad.

"Master, whether you want to buy or sell, you can do it here safely, and the Ten Thousand Treasures Palace will never leak information." Fire Fairy Su Youji transmitted.

"I know." Ji Ning muttered inwardly.

Bullshit.

Places like the Ten Thousand Treasures Palace were safe. If he sold a few Dao weapons for a hundred cubes of chaos liquid, the Ten Thousand Treasures Palace wouldn't care. But if he exchanged everything for 'treasure fragments,' even a fool would guess that Ji Ning must have a very powerful treasure that needed so many treasure fragments' five elements essence to restore!

Note that Great Mo Dao Lord's status was too high; he wouldn't foolishly manage the Ten Thousand Treasures Palace. Those managing it were probably World Gods or Chaos Immortals.

This would be enough to make World-level cultivators covetous and even target Ji Ning.

No 'reputation' was priceless; it depended on the price. A treasure with Source was enough to make those World Gods and Chaos Immortals disregard face and act in secret.

"I need to be a bit careful." Ji Ning thought to himself.
