A silver-tier assassin targeted Ye Xingchen with a lethal strike, but the Fire King intervened, catching the dagger and incinerating the attacker in flames. Ye Xingchen expressed gratitude as the Fire King departed, while Killgod Hall canceled the mission and refunded half the payment, enraging the Feng Family patriarch who suspected a leak. Ye Tian vowed to kill Feng Family members on sight but held back, and tens of thousands of years later, the first Forbidden Void Realm appeared, attracting Dao Ancestors from major forces including the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

TL: Etude

The Forbidden Void Realm remained unstable for now, so the supreme powerhouses stayed away. Still, a handful of Pinnacle Dao Ancestors had already shown up.

Blackwind Mountain's Wind King, Fire King, and Time King had arrived on the scene. With them came Dao Ancestor Xumi and Dao Ancestor Heaven Devourer of the Limitless Sky Sect, Dao Ancestor Heavenly Artifact and Dao Ancestor Tianqi from the Myriad Domains Divine Hall, plus Dao Ancestor Divine Sea and Dao Ancestor Eight Clouds from the Heavenly Sea Sect. These Pinnacle Dao Ancestors led the way, scouting the conditions inside the Forbidden Void Realm.

Stabilization of the Forbidden Void Realm would soon draw the Invincible Dao Ancestors, and perhaps even Half-Step Domain Ancestors would intervene.

This grand spectacle had drawn Ye Tian as well. He wouldn't miss it for the world.

Ye Tian appeared via a Copy Body, disguised as the Heavenly King Nine Limits.

Positioned next to the Wind King and Fire King, Ye Tian kept his eyes locked on the adjacent space.

Chaotic rules dominated that area, particularly spatial ones that twisted and shifted without cease. A vast world seemed faintly concealed inside.

This realm brimmed with mighty Forbidden Rules, proving it no ordinary domain.

“Wind King, does Blackwind Mountain intend to vie for this Forbidden Void Realm?” Ye Tian sent via transmission.

“We should watch and see first,” the Wind King responded. “Though it's unlikely we'll compete. Blackwind Mountain already holds a Small Domain with superior hiding powers compared to a Forbidden Void Realm.

“That said, a Forbidden Void Realm offers a cultivation environment vastly better than a Small Domain's. It harbors many Forbidden Treasures, and Forbidden Wondrous Objects will emerge over time.

“Value-wise, one Forbidden Void Realm matches a Small Domain. But Blackwind Mountain has no shortage of Small Domains right now,” the Wind King elaborated.

Blackwind Mountain might not prioritize a Forbidden Void Realm, yet that didn't mean its powerhouses felt the same lack of interest.

The Wind King, for one, would relish claiming a Forbidden Void Realm. It could become his force's stronghold, his central base, and a hub to grow his army.

Time wore on, and the Forbidden Void Realm's rule fluctuations hit their height, then slowly calmed. Full stability would come with total tranquility.

Half a month later, the Forbidden Void Realm settled completely.

Experts from all sides now started probing the Forbidden Void Realm.

The Wind King inspected it too. With a unique secret art, he crossed the void, slipping a thread of consciousness inside. Soon, he grasped its basic state.

“Just a small Forbidden Void Realm,” the Wind King noted, a hint of regret in his tone.

“A small one, eh,” Ye Tian pondered.

Blackwind Mountain records taught Ye Tian that Forbidden Void Realms came in small, medium, and large varieties, with value scaling up by size.

Small, medium, and large Forbidden Void Realms differed in rule potency, world scale, and the number plus quality of Forbidden Treasures.

Those weren't the sole differences, naturally.

A small Forbidden Void Realm's rules stayed incomplete, burdened by unique limits.

Medium and large ones usually boasted full rules and few limits. Restriction-free Forbidden Void Realms proved much simpler to refine and enhance, unlike restricted ones that resisted changes.

Incomplete rules had upsides too. Some such Forbidden Void Realms sped up time flow dramatically—a huge boon. Cultivating there outpaced the outer world, like practicing in a massive time array.

All told, though, a small Forbidden Void Realm paled in worth against a medium one.

As Pinnacle Dao Ancestors from everywhere sent their consciousnesses to explore the small Forbidden Void Realm, they pieced together details on its flawed rules.

Boom! Dao Ancestor Xumi of the Limitless Sky Sect, an expert in spatial Dao, ripped through the void to enter the small Forbidden Void Realm. Yet, he got blocked right in the middle of the void, forbidden from fully stepping inside. The realm's invisible laws clearly repelled his entry.

Therefore, Dao Ancestor Xumi pulled back.

“This small Forbidden Void Realm holds incomplete rules, yet it bars Pinnacle Dao Ancestors too. It looks like only up to Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors can enter! On top of that, the time flow within runs roughly 100 times quicker than outside!” Dao Ancestor Xumi declared.

“One hundred times faster time flow?”

Countless factions grew excited. Such a massive time acceleration was astonishing! True, powerful time formations outside could achieve differences of ten thousand times or greater, but setting them up demanded enormous resources, and training inside burned through even more. In this small Forbidden Void Realm, though, the sped-up time came naturally without any cost—a built-in perk! Best of all, with Pinnacle Dao Ancestors locked out, Seventh Heaven powers now had a real shot at seizing control.

“This Forbidden Void Realm ought to go to our Heavenly Emperor Palace. What say you?” a Dao Ancestor proposed.

The voice belonged to Dao Ancestor Profound Crane from the Heavenly Emperor Palace, a mighty Pinnacle Dao Ancestor who outmatched even Dao Ancestor Blue Sky in strength. Among Pinnacle Dao Ancestors, Profound Crane ranked at the top, rivaling the Wind King himself.

Dao Ancestor Xumi shot a glance at Dao Ancestor Profound Crane, irritation flashing across his face. “A Forbidden Void Realm's worth is beyond measure. Your Heavenly Emperor Palace might crave it, but so do we others. Why hand it over just because you demand it? Fair competition for all is the right path.”

Dao Ancestor Xumi's statement struck a chord with the crowd, sparking a barrage of backlash against Dao Ancestor Profound Crane.

Right then, the Wind King chimed in. “I support fair competition too. Given this Forbidden Void Realm caps entry at Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors, why not let Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors and lower enter? The ones who grab the most treasures or manage to refine the realm will earn it through strength. Thoughts?”

Refining a Forbidden Void Realm proved incredibly tough.

The task demanded ages of effort. Without total control first, who had time for refinement? At best, explorers would snag some Forbidden Wondrous Objects inside, as deeper feats lay beyond reach in the limited window.

Still, most groups backed the Wind King's idea. Though Dao Ancestor Profound Crane from the Heavenly Emperor Palace fumed, he stood no chance against the united opposition.

“Alright, I accept!” Dao Ancestor Profound Crane grudgingly agreed.

Not long afterward.

Hosts of Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors rushed in, called by their sects to vie for the Forbidden Void Realm's riches. If luck allowed, they were to try refining it for full ownership.

Naturally, success remained a long shot, with odds stacked heavily against it.
