The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3213 - 3208: The Power of the World and the Magic Treasure_1

The Spirit Separation Ancestor seethed with anger deep inside, yet he grasped the vital role of the figure standing before him more than anyone.

Even with his vast renown as the Spirit Separation Ancestor, he found himself compelled to act with deference toward the Xuanyang Palace Master.

The Spirit Separation Ancestor recognized clearly that the Xuanyang Palace Master's visit held no hint of playfulness.

With no other option, he lowered his head and declared, "Very well, for today, I'll show the Palace Master some respect. Still, the path between Divine Night Sect and our group stretches far—time will tell what unfolds!"

Once their words concluded, he pivoted and departed.

Meanwhile, the Xuanyang Palace Master clasped his hands toward White Eyebrow Daoist, "Brother White Eyebrow, Sister Wenqi, forgive the disturbance I've caused."

The Xuanyang Palace Master offered few additional remarks before exiting alongside Fu Tiandi.

As the duo vanished from sight, Princess Wenqi spoke softly, "The Xuanyang Palace Master proves far more sensible than the Spirit Separation Ancestor. At least, this means no true clash erupted between our Divine Night Sect and Grand Abyss Palace."

"No clash has occurred, that's true, but a divide now exists between our sects. Do everything possible to keep today's events hushed. If the foreign race catches wind of it, they'll no doubt scheme specifically against us," White Eyebrow Daoist murmured with a soft sigh.

The Xuanyang Palace Master had shown true reasonableness, though anyone could sense he only aimed to halt any fight between Grand Abyss Palace and Divine Night Sect, while inwardly supporting the Spirit Separation Ancestor.

At present, the two factions had simply dodged the most catastrophic outcome.

"That Spirit Separation Ancestor won't simply overlook this matter," White Eyebrow Daoist remarked.

"Folks from Grand Abyss Palace never bother planning ahead for humanity's greater good," Princess Wenqi added with a sharp edge of resentment.

...

While the Spirit Separation Ancestor withdrew, Yang Chen made his way to Gu Jianchou's spot for secluded cultivation, accompanied by Ji Yue Shuang.

"Here's my area for secluded cultivation," Gu Jianchou announced with a hearty chuckle.

Yang Chen and Ji Yue Shuang both gawked in astonishment. The site for Gu Jianchou's seclusion struck them as remarkably barren, holding absolutely nothing and standing utterly vacant, apart from a handful of formations faintly discernible nearby.

"Senior Brother Gu, this spot feels far too plain. There's literally nothing around, not even fitting for seclusion. Doesn't it come off as somewhat unsuitable?" Ji Yue Shuang pointed out directly, her lips twisting in a pout.

Yang Chen appeared equally baffled, convinced this hardly resembled a fitting location for any cultivator's secluded practice.

Gu Jianchou let out a laugh, "You young lady, what could you possibly understand? At my level, just one type of place serves for seclusion."

"Just one spot? Which one? Not this, right?" Ji Yue Shuang asked, her brow furrowing in bewilderment.

Gu Jianchou flicked his wrist, and suddenly, a gateway ripped open in the emptiness, pouring out thick waves of world power.

Yang Chen felt a brief jolt of surprise, sensing he likely knew its purpose.

"Step inside," Gu Jianchou motioned.

Driven by wonder and uncertainty, Yang Chen and Ji Yue Shuang crossed the threshold.

The moment they passed through, Ji Yue Shuang and Yang Chen's eyes bulged in shock.

For this domain brimmed with blooms, greenery, forests, peaks, and streams. The views dazzled with beauty, the terrain crafted with finesse. Still, when set against the outer realm, it came across as rather basic.

No winds howled, no clouds wandered, no sun or moon appeared in this space.

"Did you forge this world yourself, Senior Brother Gu?" Ji Yue Shuang questioned in awe, her evident knowledge shining through.

Yang Chen had already pieced it together, realizing this must be Gu Jianchou's personally crafted realm.

The aura here echoed exactly his experience inside the Mountain and River Destruction Map. Peaks rose, waters flowed, flowers bloomed, plants thrived—it formed an entirely lifelike domain.

At this point, certainty gripped him fully: Hua Qingfeng had achieved the Heaven-appointed Realm Fetus in those days, and the Mountain and River Destruction Map stood as the world embryo he had shaped!

"Sister Ji has it spot on. Now it makes sense—for my cultivation needs, my personal world does the trick. Why fuss over externals?" Gu Jianchou chuckled.

Yang Chen voiced his uncertainty, "Senior Brother Gu... "

"Why keep using 'senior'? We're equals as brothers now. Sharing a generation with Xiaoshuang, skip the formal title; it'll just feel off," Gu Jianchou replied.

Yang Chen grinned and shifted his address, "Senior Brother Gu!"

"Good, so what's on your mind?" Gu Jianchou inquired.

"Junior Brother grasps little of the Heaven-appointed Realm. Senior Brother Gu, how did these peaks, streams, and all the rest in your world originate? They don't strike me as mere ornaments, do they?" Yang Chen wondered.

He recalled elements like Bewildering Soul Mountain and the Spirit of Divine Sea from the Mountain and River Destruction Map.

Back then, unable to tap their strengths, he had brushed them off. Now, they clearly exceeded basic trinkets.

Lacking real insight into such matters, curiosity had naturally surged, prompting his question the instant he stepped into Gu Jianchou's realm.

Having claimed the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine, Gu Jianchou brimmed with high spirits. When Yang Chen inquired, he eagerly explained, "Mere ornaments? Hardly—these are defensive treasures I've gathered over time."

"Treasures you've collected?" Yang Chen echoed, still puzzled.

Gu Jianchou responded, "Junior Brother Yang Chen, what familiarity do you hold with the Heaven-appointed Realm?"

"Junior knows almost nothing," Yang Chen confessed.

"That's no issue. I'll share the details today. The Heaven-appointed Realm splits into three distinct tiers, setting it worlds apart from the Heaven-separated Realm. Gaps in early, mid, and late Heaven-separated stages loom large but remain surmountable at times. Yet in the Heaven-appointed Realm, bridging the vast divides between early, mid, and late proves nearly impossible—like the chasm separating Nirvana Stage from Great Ascension Stage," Gu Jianchou detailed.

"Does the world cause this?" Yang Chen probed.

"Spot on. Forming a world embryo catapults one into Heavenly Destiny Realm Middle Stage. In Early Destiny Realm without such a creation, devoid of world power, how could anyone stand against the might of mid-stage Heavenly Destiny Realm experts?" Gu Jianchou elaborated.

"What defines world power?" Yang Chen pressed.

"A world born from one's efforts starts without world power. Infuse it with the cultivator's personal laws, however, and it gains that force. In plain terms, enter any Star Domain Interface and you'll encounter Heavenly Dao—its strength forms one variety of world power. Observe how immense such power truly is," Gu Jianchou chuckled.

Understanding began to click for Yang Chen, "Got it. Then these peaks, streams, and waters..."

"Regard these peaks, streams, and every element in my world as the magic treasures wielded by us World Stage cultivators!" Gu Jianchou proclaimed.

"Magic treasures?" Yang Chen murmured, still confused.

"Upon reaching World Stage, disparities in world power potency become decisive. Hence, the robustness of laws honed before World Stage entry holds immense weight. That said, World Stage battles assess not only the core world's might but also these treasures and similar assets," Gu Jianchou outlined with care.
