After recuperating in the City Lord’s residence for three days, Su Zimo’s injuries were mostly healed with the powerful regeneration capabilities of his Green Lotus True Body.
In the past three days, the teleportation formation had been repaired as well.
Su Zimo did not leave immediately. Instead, he bid farewell to Xu Shi and wanted to ask about something.
Everyone from Snow Wind Ridge did not know much about Green Cloud County and the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom.
Although Xu Shi was also someone who had ascended from the lower world, he definitely knew a lot about Green Cloud County since he could become the City Lord of Dragon Abyss City with his own capabilities.
If he could understand more about Green Cloud County, he could avoid some trouble in advance.
Xu Shi was surprised when he saw Su Zimo visit personally.
In his opinion, it would take at least a year to recuperate after being severely injured by a Grade 7 Earth Immortal. To think that Su Zimo would recover after just three days.
Xu Shi’s evaluation of Su Zimo increased once more.
“Brother Su,”
Xu Shi welcomed Su Zimo and cupped his fists towards the latter without the slightest bit of arrogance as the City Lord.
Although Su Zimo’s cultivation realm was lower than his, he knew that this seemingly frail scholar with refined features was definitely a ruthless character!
“Brother Su, are you leaving?”
Xu Shi asked.
Su Zimo nodded. “I’ll make a move in two days when my injuries are healed. I’m here this time round to ask some questions.”
“Brother Su, please speak,” Xu Shi said.
Su Zimo pondered for a moment and asked, “I heard that the upper world is a trichiliocosm. Which world does the Dragon Abyss Star belong to?”
“All in all, it belongs to the Heavenly World,”
Xu Shi replied, “However, the Heavenly World is way too huge and unimaginable. Even Heaven Immortals or Perfected Immortals won’t be able to roam the entire Heavenly World.”
Su Zimo had heard Die Yue mention the Heavenly World before.
According to Die Yue, more than half of the millions of humans in the lower worlds would ascend to the Heavenly World and the Human Emperor would belong to it as well.
Die Yue even said that his Green Lotus True Body could also ascend to the Heavenly World.
Although Su Zimo experienced tribulations during his ascension, he still arrived in the Heavenly World in the end.
“The Heavenly World is divided into three major regions, the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain, the Pure Land of Bliss and the Fiend Domain.”
Xu Shi continued, “It’s said that between the three regions, there’s a sacred tree with lush leaves that covers the skies. Its thick and powerful roots are connected to the territory of the three regions!”
“The three regions are connected by a single tree?”
Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat.
How unimaginable was that?
How powerful was this sacred tree?!
Xu Shi said, “Of course, these are also legends I heard back in Green Cloud County. I can’t be sure.”
“Legend has it that this sacred tree is the foundation of the Heavenly World. It is immortal and unshakable, gathering the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi of the upper world!”
A single tree that could become the foundation of an entire world—it was no wonder why it was called a sacred tree!
Su Zimo said, “In that case, the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom should be a faction of the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain.”
“Yes and no,”
Xu Shi smiled. “The Nine Firmament Immortal Domain is just a general term. To be precise, there are as many as nine immortal domains. That’s why it’s called the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain!”
“The Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and the Dragon Abyss Star belong to the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain of the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain.”
Su Zimo opened his mouth slightly with a shocked expression.
It was only at that moment that he realized that the entire Heavenly World was much larger than he had imagined!
The Dragon Abyss Star he was on was only a remote star in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain.
There were a total of nine major domains like the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain.
The nine domains formed the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain!
However, the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain was only a part of the Heavenly World!
When Xu Shi saw Su Zimo’s dumbfounded expression, he smiled as well. “The Nine Firmament Immortal Domain is too far away from us. I don’t even know what the other eight immortal domains are called.”
“I’ve fought in the upper world for tens of thousands of years. Up till this day, I’ve never left Green Cloud County, let alone the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom or the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain.”
Su Zimo took a deep breath and composed himself.
Green Cloud County was many times larger than Tianhuang Mainland. In the entire Great Jin Immortal Kingdom, Divine Firmament Immortal Domain, even Nine Firmament Immortal Domain and the Heavenly World, countless paragons and monster incarnates would be born!
However, the Heavenly World was only one of the trichiliocosm.
It was no wonder why the Human Emperor and Die Yue said similar things.
In the upper world, paragons rose and monster incarnates reigned. This was a battlefield that was much more terrifying and cruel than Tianhuang Mainland!
“How many factions like the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom are there in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain?”
Su Zimo asked.
“A total of three,”
Xu Shi said, “The Great Jin Immortal Kingdom, the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom and the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom. Each of them is ruled by an Immortal King and their territories are divided from the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain.”
Immortal King!
Immortal Kings were above Perfected Immortals!
“Under the jurisdiction of the three Immortal Kingdoms, no cultivator, sect or faction can disobey the will of the Immortal Kingdoms!”
Xu Shi said, “In the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain, the three Immortal Kingdoms have absolute dominance!”
Su Zimo frowned slightly and asked, “Even sects and factions can’t go against the Immortal Kingdoms?”
“No!”
Xu Shi shook his head. “In Divine Firmament Immortal Domain, sects are divided into two grades, black-grade and earth-grade. The sect masters of earth-grade sects have to be Perfected Immortal experts.”
“Even so, black-grade and earth-grade sects can’t go against the Immortal Kingdoms. When an Immortal King is enraged, millions of corpses and blood will flow. It’s enough to flatten any sect or faction!”
At that point, Xu Shi seemed to have thought of something and paused for a moment before saying, “I heard that there are even heaven-grade sects above earth-grade ones. Although they are also in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain, they are not ruled by the three Immortal Kingdoms and operate independently.”
Xu Shi lamented, “These are all illusory legends. Even if there are truly heaven-grade sects, we won’t be able to come into contact with them.”
Su Zimo remained silent.
He had experienced the battle of the abyss personally.
In that battle, disciples of heaven-grade sects appeared!
Su Zimo asked again, “Let’s talk about Green Cloud County and the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom.”
Xu Shi said, “There are a total of 16 counties under the jurisdiction of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and each county has more than a hundred cities.”
“In each county, there are County Governors who manage everything. Almost all of them are Perfected Immortal experts.”
Xu Shi brought Su Zimo out of the hall and looked at the end of the starry skies.
It was a gigantic shadow.
Xu Shi pointed to the shadow. “The shadow we see is the Divine Firmament Mainland. Around the Divine Firmament Mainland, there are many stars like the Dragon Abyss Star that form a sea of stars. Together, they form the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain.”
Xu Shi continued, “The City Lords of the surrounding stars such as the Dragon Abyss Star don’t have high cultivation realms. Grade 9 Black Immortals are enough.”
“However, you have to be careful when you’re in the Divine Firmament Mainland. Be it Green Cloud County or any other county, the City Lords under their jurisdiction are at least Grade 9 Earth Immortals! Some of the City Lords of large cities are even Grade 9 Heaven Immortals!”
At that point, Su Zimo’s understanding of the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain was gradually formed.
