In the present Primal Chaos, there are countless blessed lands, all divided into innate and acquired. Moreover, these blessed lands come in various forms, and are generally categorized into four types.
Innate blessed lands are formed naturally, born from the very essence of heaven and earth. Acquired blessed lands, on the other hand, are created when powerful cultivators spend a long time cultivating in a specific location. Their cultivation and Dao imprints leave a mark on the place, causing it to evolve into a blessed land.
These blessed lands are divided into four categories! The first category: Famous mountains and great rivers. Examples include Mount Buzhou and Mount Kunlun, these are blessed lands that are visible to the naked eye and are plainly obvious.
The second category: Cave Heaven! These blessed lands are mostly like a miniature world within a seed, appearing ordinary from the outside. They could be a mountain cave, or perhaps a large tree. But once you find the entrance and enter, you'll discover an entire world contained within.
The third category: Secret Realm! These blessed lands are often covered by innate formations, creating a world of their own. From the outside, they are difficult to see, only by breaking the formations can one enter.
The fourth category: Spirit Treasure Blessed Land! These blessed lands are integrated within spirit treasures, or refined into spirit treasures by great cultivators using the blessed land as material. They can be carried around and entered at any time.
These four types of blessed lands, regardless of which one, as long as you can obtain one, it's a huge opportunity. Remember, the Primal Chaos has countless blessed lands, but there are even more cultivators. To have a dedicated innate blessed land of your own is also the dream of many cultivators.
However, now, the innate blessed land that countless cultivators seek has been found by Xuan Xiao.
...
Xuan Xiao's heart raced with excitement, a feeling of unadulterated joy surged within him.
His gaze swept across the vast expanse, observing every aspect of this blessed land. He saw the sun, moon, and stars manifesting above, the earth nurturing countless plants, and the mountains and rivers flowing through this place...
“A self-contained world! This, this is a cave-type blessed land!” Xuan Xiao grew even more excited. He knew that this kind of cave-type blessed land was highly concealed, difficult to be discovered by outsiders. This feature would be a tremendous advantage for Xuan Xiao, who was still growing in strength.
Yun Xiao also understood this, and her joy echoed Xuan Xiao's as she followed him, observing the blessed land.
As they walked through the blessed land, they saw rivers brimming with spiritual energy, flowers and plants filled with vibrant life, and Dao Yun scattered everywhere… Each aspect spoke of this place's extraordinary nature.
After some time, guided by the pull of his fortune, Xuan Xiao arrived at the core of the blessed land. The heart of the blessed land was also a valley.
However, as soon as Xuan Xiao and Yun Xiao stepped into this valley, an ethereal pressure swept over them.
“This is…” Xuan Xiao's eyes widened, his mind stirred, and a sense of alertness emerged. Though this pressure wasn't filled with hostility, it was as if it was being emitted unconsciously. Yet, it was so vast and overwhelming, clearly not ordinary.
Xuan Xiao hesitated, brows furrowed, but after a moment, he still chose to step forward. The sight that greeted him left him dumbfounded.
Yun Xiao was equally stunned, gazing at the core valley of the blessed land, she exclaimed: “A True Dragon, a Phoenix… This…”
Indeed, it was a True Dragon and a Phoenix. Within the core valley of the blessed land, there lay a True Dragon and a Phoenix.
Both the True Dragon and Phoenix had manifested their true forms. It was unclear what happened, but they lay there motionless. Their bodies were immense, each resembling a continuous mountain range, showcasing the strength of their respective races. Their unconscious emanation of pressure was palpable.
“Hiss… Why is there a Dragon and a Phoenix here?!” Xuan Xiao gasped, completely baffled by the sudden appearance of this dragon and phoenix. His mind went blank for a moment, filled with apprehension. If anything felt amiss, Xuan Xiao would instantly ignite the fortune within his fortune bead and fight back.
However, even after Xuan Xiao remained wary for a long time, he saw no change from the dragon and phoenix. They continued to lie peacefully.
Xuan Xiao wondered: “What’s going on? What’s the situation with this dragon and phoenix? Why… ”
Confusion filled Xuan Xiao’s heart, but sensing no change from the dragon and phoenix, he gathered his courage and slowly approached. Yun Xiao remained by his side, unwilling to leave.
…
After briefly approaching, Xuan Xiao finally understood the situation.
“This, this is a fall… ” Xuan Xiao shook his head and laughed.
Yun Xiao also relaxed, “The legendary Phoenix and True Dragon, why would they fall here?”
“I don’t know.” Xuan Xiao was also puzzled. Why was there a dragon and phoenix corpse within this blessed land?
Amidst the wonder, feeling no danger, he couldn’t help but approach the dragon and phoenix corpses. Even though the two unconsciously emitted pressure, perhaps due to the erosion of time, Xuan Xiao only took a short time to approach them.
Upon getting close, he couldn’t help but touch the dragon scales, feeling the dense dragon energy and majesty.
But at that moment, a dragon roar echoed through the blessed land. Immediately after, a phoenix cry followed, also reverberating throughout the blessed land. The two roars carried a sense of hostility.
Then, the two corpses erupted with Dao Yun, transforming into the phantoms of a dragon and a phoenix. The phantoms materialized, entangled in a fierce struggle, creating a battlefield.
Within that battlefield, countless dragons and phoenixes, countless cultivators, manifested their true forms. They resembled stars, resembled mountains, clashing with each other endlessly, stretching as far as the eye could see.
It was impossible to count how many cultivators or dragons and phoenixes there were. They relied on their star-like bodies colliding, unleashing boundless magical powers that turned into torrents, and even stirred up boundless Dao waves…
Scene after scene of slaughter, transforming into mountains of corpses, oceans of blood, severed limbs, and broken bodies. The phantom battlefield lasted only a short time, but even in that brief moment, countless cultivators perished. This scene left Xuan Xiao gasping, making him feel insignificant, and once again, he gasped.
Then he saw a six-clawed golden dragon and a fire-burning phoenix engaging in a fierce battle. They fought brutally, but ultimately fell, crashing to the earth. That location was the coast of the East Sea.
They landed on a mountain range near the coast of the East Sea, sending up waves, which then triggered some sort of mysterious energy. Subsequently, their corpses turned into streaks of light, disappearing into the mountains, falling to this place.
Seeing all this, Xuan Xiao finally understood why there were a dragon and phoenix corpses within this blessed land.
“The phantom battlefield that materialized earlier, was it the legendary Dragon-Phoenix Calamity? Such a calamity is truly terrifying.” Xuan Xiao gasped, overwhelmed by the scale of the ancient battle. Looking at the two corpses, he sighed, “This dragon and phoenix fought to the death in their prime, ultimately falling into the coast of the East Sea. And it so happens that they fell upon this blessed land, and by chance, plunged into the blessed land, landing in this valley.”
“And due to the passage of time, the dragon and phoenix’s residual fighting spirit, killing intent, and pressure gradually dissipated, finally leading to our arrival. Thankfully, time eroded everything, otherwise, even though these dragon and phoenix were dead, their unconscious pressure would have made it impossible for us to approach.”
“But even though time is terrifying, the dragon and phoenix’s remaining battle instincts still materialized their past battle phantoms today, across endless years.”
