Chapter 426: The Desolate Wilderness Between Heaven and Eart

the time to praise Jiang Yun. Instead, he took a deep breath and roared: "Activate the Mountain Protection Formation!"Elder Han's voice echoed throughout the entire Yaoshengzong.As his voice fell, two...The phrase "Ancient Desolate Realm" made Jiang Yun involuntarily think of another world across the sea from the Shan Hai Realm, a world called the Great Desolate Realm.

Now that I'm in this ancient desolate world and the vast wasteland, could there be any connection between them

In the face of Jiangyun's entire doubt, Bai Ze unceremoniously sarcastically said: "Of course it matters, these two worlds are just low-level worlds!"

"However, the ancient chaotic world, although also a low-level one, is a world that countless powerful beings are desperately searching for!"

Jiang Yun's brows were almost knotted together, because he found that the things he didn't understand were increasing day by day.

What does it mean

Though the world seems to have many, there are actually only two kinds: the Dao Realm and the Wasteland.

"The Dao realm is high-level, while the Desolation realm is low-level. Can you understand the difference between these two"

Jiang Yun raised an eyebrow: "Dao"

"Right on! That's the way!"

As for the origin of the world and all things, Bai Ze truly knew nothing. However, he knew that in the beginning, all worlds were barren lands.

The term "Wasteland" doesn't refer to a world that is barren or desolate. It refers to a world where the concept of "Dao" does not exist.

But, if only a cultivator could successfully comprehend the Dao and bring it to this world, then this world would undergo earth-shaking changes, just like a cultivator's realm advancing, from the Profane Realm to the Dao Realm.

If the wasteland can never be born, then this world will truly gradually become desolate, even completely destroyed!

Therefore, the Dao Realm is a higher world, while the Desolate Realm is a lower world.

And all who know of the existence of the Dao Realm desire to enter it.

In short, the difference between the Dao Realm and the Wilderness Realm is like that between cultivators and mortals, one in heaven and the other on earth.

At first, Jiang Yun was already shocked when he learned from his senior brother about the existence of multiple worlds. But only now did he truly understand.

It turns out that even the eldest brother only knows half of it. It turns out that the real world actually has distinctions between high-level and low-level;

It turns out that the world of mountains and seas where I live is just a low-level world that has not yet been born.

No wonder Bai Ze always looks down on the Shan Hai world. Apparently, he should be from the Dao world.

However, Bai Ze's voice unexpectedly dropped to a rare low. "My world is not the Dao Realm, but it's similar, almost the same!"

With my Bai Ze celestial demon presence, my world will definitely enter the realm of Tao!

Jiang Yun was speechless. A demon from a low-level world actually looked down on others from low-level worlds.

"You're from the Wasteland too!"

"What's wrong with the barren world!"

Bai Ze's voice suddenly grew louder and he said, "That spirit world must also be a barren realm, because within the Dao Realm, there will inevitably exist experts of the Asking Dao Realm!"

Gingeryun was startled and said, "The Dao Realm, can it make the world give birth to the Dao"

Probably…

Obviously Bai Ze was still uncertain about this issue, so he hastily changed the subject and said: “Jiang Yun, the world you live in, actually, in my view, should be called the Shan Hai Wilderness.”

"And the vast world you speak of should originally have been a complete world connected to the Shan Hai Realm!"

"However, whether it was intentional or accidental, the emergence of the barrier sea split your Shan Hai Huang Jie into two, becoming the Shan Hai Jie and the Da Huang Jie!"

This is not Bai Ze's random guess, but everything he experienced after entering the Shan Hai Realm gave him this idea.

As a desolate realm, there shouldn't be any dao demons, mirages, or ghost clans.

But all of this shouldn't exist, the Shan Hai Realm has it all!

This alone is enough to show that the Shanhai Realm must have something unusual about it.

As for whether the Shan Hai Jie is one world or two, Jiang Yun didn't care. He continued to ask, “What exactly is the ancient desolate realm”

"This is what I saw in an extremely old book. It says that although the world seems vast, there's actually a powerful organization above all worlds, something called the Temple of Dao!"

"Hall of the Dao" Jiang Yun shook his head. He had never heard of it.

Bai Ze continued, "It is said that the Dao Temple controls all worlds. They send their subordinates to each world to serve as boundary guardians, responsible for guarding that realm."

"Especially some barren worlds might give birth to Dao Realms, then we must focus on protecting them, after all, the more Dao Realms, the better."

Jiang Yun was stunned again: "Could it be that the Shanhai Realm also has a boundary guardian"

Of course!

Bai Ze affirmed: "However, the Town Realm Officials are not allowed to interfere with anything in the realm they guard, and Town Realm Officials are powerful figures in the Dao Asking Realm, so we have no way of knowing their existence at all."

Jiang Yun frowned and said, "With so many wars in the Shan Hai Realm and the upcoming Shan Hai Catastrophe, don't they care"

"It probably doesn't matter, unless the world of Mountains and Seas might have a Dao born. Although in your eyes, the destruction of one world is a huge deal, to those powerful beings, it's not even worth mentioning!"

These words were merely Bai Ze's unintentional remarks, but he hadn't anticipated that because of his words, Jiang Yun would develop a sense of dissatisfaction towards the God Temple, which they had never met.

In the midst of Mang Mountain, grandfather repeatedly told Jiang Yun that he should always respect life and refrain from killing innocents. Therefore, he couldn't condone the actions of the Temple of the Dao Gods who sat idly by as the world was destroyed.

We cannot accept the existence of a Daoist Temple that lords over all worlds, no matter how powerful they may be.

"The strength of the Temple of Dao is beyond your and my imagination. Therefore, they have records and dedicated people guarding almost every desolate realm."

But, there are always exceptions!

"Any deserted realm that hasn't been discovered by the Dao Temple is called an Ancient Deserted Realm!"

"The reason it is called ancient times is because these worlds exist for an incredibly long time, a length of time so vast that it's impossible to calculate!"

Jiang Yun's brows remained furrowed as she asked, "How do you know that the Dao Shen Temple hasn't found this place"

Because, it's in the belly of a beast from the Netherworld!

"What!"

Jiang Yun almost jumped up and said, "This world, is it still in the belly of a Yinling beast How do you know that Besides, if it really is inside the belly of a Yinling beast, why haven't the humans here become Yinlings"

"I have a gift, I've felt the aura of a demon once and I will never forget it. And in this world, perhaps you can't perceive it, but I can still sense the presence of creatures from the Netherworld!"

As for why humans haven't become ghosts, I think it probably has something to do with that ancient "Dao" you saw.

"Although this world is still a desolate one, it should only be a step away from being born."

At this point, Ginger Cloud knew that even if Bai Ze's words weren't entirely accurate, they were mostly true.

A nameless path, one step can transform into the Dao!

Bai Ze didn't know about the black stone, but he said almost the same words.

Moreover, Bai Ze's explanation also gave Jiang Yun some answers to his doubts about this world.

For example, why is the character "Dao" here so ancient, and why are the designations for cultivation realms here also so ancient!

Because it existed for too long and was trapped inside the Beast's stomach, cut off from all other worlds, it became isolated and backward.

Bai Ze suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Jiang Yun, this time, it's another great opportunity for you!"

What do you mean

"Didn't I just say that! All the powerhouses are searching for the ancient desolate realm, because if you can make this realm come into being, then this realm will belong to your path, Jiang Yun!"

"You know, to be able to enter the Dao realm is the lifelong aspiration and desire of countless powerful beings. And if one could possess a Dao realm, the benefits would be unimaginable!"
