Chapter 140 Tianbao Garden

  Chen Xuan came out of his own cave and rushed to the Zhongwu Hall on the main peak, which was bathed in the morning sun. The last time he went to sign up, he had only caught a glimpse of the Zhongwu Hall from a distance. The main peak covered an area of hundreds of miles, and the Zhongwu Hall stood at its center. A radius of ten miles around the Zhongwu Hall was strictly forbidden for anyone to enter, so this time Chen Xuan could be said to have entered the very center of the main peak for the first time.

  After a stick of incense, Chen Xuan rushed to the ten-mile range of Zhu Wu Temple, but was still shocked by the scene in front of him. Countless rare flowers and grasses were competing with each other, and all kinds of heavenly treasures were scattered everywhere. Chen Xuan also saw many small people running back and forth inside, but once they reached a distance of ten miles outside, they would be bounced back, returning to the large garden to frolic again.

  "Is this the Tianbao Garden of Zhuwu Hall?" Chen Xuan had also heard that there was a Tianbao Garden in Danxuan Gate, where countless spiritual medicines were planted. However, Chen Xuan had only heard about it and didn't dare to believe it. But now he was indeed bewildered by the scene before his eyes, and Chen Xuan had an urge to rob it.

  "It's no wonder it's called Tianbao Garden, everything here can be called a heavenly treasure. If all of these were to be absorbed by the Tianyan Furnace, one's strength would probably skyrocket. Each and every one of these heavenly treasures must have been painstakingly cultivated over thousands of years by the Danxuan Gate. It's unimaginable what kind of power these heavenly treasures will bring."

  "What was I thinking, Chen Xuan dispelled such thoughts, just opening up his mind to let himself receive, he might also be blown away. Besides, since the Danxuan Gate has planted all the heavenly treasures here, are they afraid that someone will come and rob them?" Chen Xuan also discovered that this Tianbao Garden felt different from the outside world, as if it were two spaces, and the Zhongwu Hall was built in the center of this Tianbao Garden.

  He suppressed his greedy thoughts and continued to move forward, finally reaching the only pass that led to Zhuwu Hall. At this time, there were already several people waiting at the pass with bated breath.

  "Chen Xuan you're here. Xiao Qiuyu arrived a bit earlier than Chen Xuan and patted Chen Xuan's shoulder."

  "Have met Master Xiao", Chen Xuan said;

  "There's no need to be so polite. If you don't mind, just call me Big Brother Xiao, and I'll call you Little Brother Xuan from now on."

  "Having sought it in vain, Chen Xuan had this intention. Xiao Gege, is this the Tianbao Garden of our Danxuan Gate?" Chen Xuan pointed to the huge garden in front of him.

  "You also know that this is called Tianbao Garden, it seems you still know a lot. Originally I was going to introduce you to it, since you already know, let me tell you about the origin of Tianbao Garden instead." Xiao Qiuyu said:

  "Xiao Da Ge, please speak, Chen Xuan is all ears." said Chen Xuan.

  "The founder of Danxuan Gate chose this location thousands of years ago and established the sect here, which is now known as Danxuan Gate. At that time, the founder was a powerful being with three layers of heavenly spirit, but what was even more impressive was his mastery of alchemy. When he founded Danxuan Gate, he created a large garden on this main peak to cultivate various rare and precious herbs. Back then, everyone in Danxuan Gate practiced alchemy, as you know that elixirs are the most basic guarantee for cultivators. Whoever has more elixirs will naturally have a faster cultivation speed. Therefore, thousands of years ago, Danxuan Gate was once the leader among the four major powers, but over the past few thousand years, Danxuan Gate's alchemy skills have clearly declined, and now it has fallen to the last among the four major powers."

  "So it was," Chen Xuan asked, "Is the founder of Danxuanmen still around?"

  "Ten thousand years ago, a war between humans and demons occurred on the mainland, many powerful Tianling cultivators sacrificed themselves in that battle, including our Danxuan Sect's ancestors. After the great war ten thousand years ago, countless Tianling strongmen in the entire Northern Domain were killed or injured. In order to preserve their legacy, each of the four major powers kept one Tianling strongman, while all other Tianling strongmen died in that battle, causing the cultivation world of the entire Northern Domain to regress by over a thousand years. It wasn't until these four Tianling strongmen spent over ten thousand years developing that they formed the current four major powers."

  During this period, our Danxuan Gate had three strong Tianling Realm cultivators. The current gate master is the third one. The previous old gate master's lifespan was up and he didn't break through to the second heaven of Tianling, but fortunately, when the old gate master ascended, the current gate master suddenly appeared and broke through to Tianling, which preserved our Danxuan Gate's current status.

  A thousand years ago, strong Tianling Realm cultivators were not rare. Generally, slightly larger families would have one. In recent years, except for our gate master and the master of the Bi family who broke through to the Tianling boundary, no one else has broken through to the Tianling boundary. The other sects' Tianling Realm strong cultivators all broke through over a thousand years ago."

  "What exactly is it that makes it so hard to break through the boundaries of Tianling now?" Chen Xuan asked.

  "Rules, to break through the Tianling realm, one must comprehend the rules of heaven and earth. In the great war ten thousand years ago, our Northern Domain was the most devastated. The other four domains were slightly better off. The rules of heaven and earth have been disrupted, causing many people to fail to grasp the true rules of heaven and earth, resulting in many being stuck at the peak of the Diling realm." said Xiao Qiuyu

  "So that's how it is. What about the other four domains? Can't they find opportunities to break through in those domains?" Chen Xuan continued to ask.

  "How could there not be? Every year, many of the Earth Spirit Peaks go to other domains, but few truly comprehend the realm of the Heavenly Spirit. Besides, it's not like it's your own domain; even if you did pass, you might not survive. You don't understand the situation in the other domains yet, do you? I'll tell you today, these aren't secrets anymore, they're all explained in some ancient classics." Xiao Qiuyu said with great enthusiasm.

  "Then I'll have to trouble Xiao Ge, I don't really understand these things very well." Chen Xuan had read a lot about the Northern Territory in miscellaneous notes, but when it came to the entire continent, he was like a blind man, and what he knew was still too little.

  "Our current region is called the Northern Domain, as you already know. To the east lies the Eastern Wilderness, where people are scarce and only the Barbarian Tribe resides. They cultivate their physical bodies and cannot cultivate any spiritual energy, which is also a unique physique. The stronger they cultivate, the more powerful their strength will be. However, they cannot achieve flight, which is a major drawback. But don't underestimate these barbarians; when they reach the level of a strong warrior in the Yuanwu Realm, even if you're flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters, they can still knock you down with one punch. Their strength is also terrifying. If they were equivalent to a strong warrior in the Tianling Realm, you can imagine how powerful their punches would be; they might even be able to blast you apart from across a vast expanse.

  Xiao Qiuyu's face showed a shocked expression when talking about the Barbarian Tribe."

  "What's going on with Xiliang?" Chen Xuan continued to ask;

  Xiao Qiuyu continued without getting tired of it, and said that she still had a very good impression of Chen Xuan.

  "In the Western Cool, it's a gathering place for demons, where humans rarely get involved. It's a place where powerful demon beasts congregate. The Heavenly Spirit Realm has many demon beasts, and the Earthly Spirit Realm is teeming with them. The Western Cool has many mountain ranges, all of which are inhabited by large numbers of demon beasts, making it difficult for humans to enter. There's nothing special about it, but fifty years ago, the master of the Bi family went there once and broke through to the Heavenly Spirit Realm after returning."

  "What's going on with Nanzhou and Zhongzhou?"

  "In the Southern Domain, I've also been puzzled for a long time. I've heard it's also a place where humans live, and it seems to be much better than our Northern Domain. The Central State is the most prosperous place in the entire Northern Domain, many times more so than other places. However, I've only heard this from some ancient texts, which are stored in the Wisdom Hall of our Danxuan Sect. If you have time, you can go take a look, and you'll see what I'm talking about.

  As for your question earlier, why the peak of our Northern Domain's Spiritual Realm can't be surpassed by other domains, even if we go there... I don't know how to answer that either. Maybe each place has its own rules, and just going there doesn't mean we can understand it. After all, the Heavenly Spirit is too far away from us, and what's really going on is beyond our comprehension."

  "Thank you, Uncle Xiao, for explaining so much to me." Chen Xuan felt a sense of clarity and openness, as if a new path was unfolding before him.

  "Xiao Da Ge, with these precious plants planted here, aren't you afraid of being spied on?" Chen Xuan asked.

  "You still underestimate us, Danxuan Gate. Can't you see that this is a large formation?" Xiao Qiuyu said with a smile.

  "Sorry about that," Chen Xuan scratched his head, "I don't really understand formations."

  "Anyway, I'll tell you, today I've told you so much, don't forget to treat me to a drink, okay?" Xiao Qiuyu said with a smile.

  "Don't worry, in a few days I will definitely find the best wine and drink with Xiao Da Ge for three days" Chen Xuan said.

  "Then let me tell you about the function of this great formation," continued Xiao Qiuyu.

  It's probably still a little early, there are still several disciples who haven't arrived yet, and no one has come to take these few people up to the Zhu Wu Hall. Each person is intently staring at various heavenly treasures.
