The Yellow Court World.
A single continent had been broken into five, with the ocean surging in to divide the pieces into separate islands. But as the continent had only just been separated, the distances separating them were not too great, only a few kiloters at most. However, with each passing year, the power of the oceans would widen this distance by about the length of a step. The continents were like siblings leaving the family ho, establishing their own residences and then gradually growing to beco strangers as ti passed.
The central island was still the largest land mass, consisting of three fifths of the area of the original continent. It contained the core Immortal island and the region directly surrounding it. What had once been the most prosperous region was now a land of death. As it was in the center, it had endured the strongest energies, and the remnants of that Boundless Gold Immortal's power still lingered, raging across the land and preventing any creature from living on it like so natural disaster. Not even grass would be able to grow here for the next few centuries.
The other four continents had drifted off in four separate directions and were fortunate enough to evade the rampaging Gold Immortal energy, which allowed them to develop in their own way.
The western continent contained the volcanic world furnace, which was the source of life. As a result, the soil here was the most fertile. But as all intelligent creatures had gone extinct, the "volcanic ash" brimming with energy had no one to develop it. This energy-rich soil accumulated in layer upon layer, becoming a thick callus over the earth. As ti passed, these calluses would transform into Earthen Fetal mbranes, which contained a variety of special substances known as Earthen Fetuses. Earthen Fetal mbranes and Fetuses were extrely rare materials in the Great Stellar Chiliocosm, and those that were found would generally only be found in deposits no larger than ten feet in radius, which made them extrely valuable. But here, circumstances had led the entire continent to be covered in Earthen Fetal mbrane.
The southern continent was where the few surviving Wuxing Violet Palace cultivators were hiding out. They were the last surviving natives of the Yellow Court World, and they existed to carry on the line of the Wuxing. For this purpose, Tang Jie was even willing to have them cripple their cultivation so that their fertility would increase. After all, the higher one's cultivation level, the more difficult it was to reproduce. This was the world's way of balancing things. The southern continent was destined to beco the new starting point of life for the Yellow Court World, the core of its expansion.
The northern continent had nothing at all. On the original continent, this place had been the farthest from the center and been a wasteland. The shattering had not changed this. The northern continent had drifted north, and as it was the smallest piece, it drifted the fastest and was now the farthest from the central continent. As it lacked value, Tang Jie decided to do as had been done in the world he had co from, sealing the land in ice and making it the world's storehouse and transfer point. It existed to store and release excess energy, playing the role of a buffer region. In the future, if the world encountered another energy attack, this continent would take the brunt of the attack, sparing the rest of the world from further turmoil.
Finally, there was the eastern continent, where the Azure Dragon and company stayed.
Besides them was the Star Radiant Gate.
"Groundbreaking spells, release! Drainage spells, go… a little slower. You have to be in sync!"
On a wasteland of the eastern continent, several dozen Star Radiant Gate disciples were gathered, releasing spell arts under the command of a Cognitive Creation cultivator. As they released spell arts, the land was divided into various fields, water appeared in trenches, and the wasteland was turned into farms.
Farther off, cultivators at Celestial Heart or even Violet Palace were busy at work, using Divine Connections to move mountains and fill in oceans, creating tall mountains that would slow the flow of the winds. As variation appeared in terrain height, the world began to return to a cyclic nature.
Even the True Lords of the Star Radiant Gate couldn't help but express admiration for the plan that Tang Jie had drafted. It was thanks to his proposals that the world's operations had actually gotten smoother rather than decaying. Despite the continents being different and influencing each other, the world's climate and terrain transforming, everything was developing in a predictable and controllable manner. Rather than destroying the world, the destructive calamity had spurred it into becoming more vigorous and lively.
"With such thods and daring, this Tang Jie is a true hero." In the sky, a group of Star Radiant Gate elders viewed the transforming world below, one of them sighing in praise. This man was Lin Kuhai, one of the True Lords of the Star Radiant Gate.
A man with a long beard next to him smiled. "Indeed. To develop a world to this level in only a few centuries is a rare sight even for an old man like ."
Another person comnted, "Gate Master, if you say it's a rare sight, then doesn't that an that you've seen small worlds like this before?"
The man who had spoken earlier was none other than Star Radiant Gate Master Qin Chaoxuan—a peak Soul Projection cultivator, a half-step Earth Immortal. A nostalgic look appeared on his face as he said, "The Chiliocosm is ho to all kinds of strange sights and talented individuals. So people are focused on cultivation, so people are focused on the Great Dao, and of course, there are also people focused on small worlds. Just comparing small worlds, while the Yellow Court World isn't weak, it's also not the strongest."
"Oh? Who owned that world? Soone from the two major sects?"
Qin Chaoxuan fell silent.
After a mont of thought, he replied, "A small world is a bottomless pit, and they require an enormous amount of resources that can't be satisfied through normal channels. For this reason, if a sect is large, it actually becos difficult to develop a small world like this. After all, soone could easily be accused of personal enrichnt, and the small world itself can be taken by another, resulting in a complete loss on investnt. The person I know of doesn't belong to so major sect, or even to the Vast Wilderness Continent."
"They're not from the Vast Wilderness Continent?" the others remarked in surprise.
Soone asked, "I didn't think there would be another talent like Tang Jie who doesn't belong to the Vast Wilderness Continent."
Qin Chaoxuan laughed in disdain. "Nonsense! Who says that only the Vast Wilderness Continent can produce talents? While Vast Wilderness really is the number one in the Chiliocosm, the universe is vast, too large for the Vast Wilderness Continent to hold all that talent. You can't even say that only the Vast Wilderness Continent has Boundless Gold Immortals or Dao-Proving Saint Immortals."
"There are more Saint Immortals than Yu Cheng?" everyone said in shock.
Qin Chaoxuan snorted. "Yu Cheng didn't sweep through the Primordial Fog all by himself. It was just that when he established the Myriad Court, his reputation surged, and his peers gradually faded into the background. But this didn't an that they died. That's why you need an open mind. The Vast Wilderness Continent is very strong, but it's not without peer."
Everyone was startled by this realization and understood that the sect master was soothing them.
Although everyone had already made up their minds to leave the Vast Wilderness Continent, in the end, the unease from leaving one's holand was inevitable. In this restless atmosphere, it was easy for mishaps to occur. Tang Jie was having them plow fields and build mountains not only to restore vitality to the continent, but also to just give them sothing to do so that they wouldn't think too much. And Qin Chaoxuan was saying all this to comfort them and, more importantly, to make them put away their "big city" pride. If they entered soone else's territory with that attitude, a problem was likely to occur.
Everyone understood what Qin Chaoxuan was getting at and voiced their agreent.
Soone abruptly said, "It should have been a thousand days since we entered the diagram, so Tang Jie should have arrived at Rosecloud, no?"
The Yellow Court World's ti flowed at a ratio of 100 to 1, so one thousand days here was only ten days in the outside world.
Ten days should have been enough for Tang Jie to reach the teleportation point and return to Rosecloud.
Qin Chaoxuan nodded. "He's arrived, but so many people, cultivators at that, can't be released into Rosecloud all at once. He's probably looking for a safe place to let us out."
"Hmph, rather than looking for a place, this kid is just trying to squeeze a little more labor out of us." This complaint ca from none other than Huang Wuji. Having spent so ti with him, he understood Tang Jie's personality, and his comnt was right on the mark. Tang Jie had arrived at Rosecloud ages ago, but when he saw the Star Radiant Gate at work and the continent thriving, he intentionally delayed a few days.
While his body was on the outside, his mind had been focused on this small world.
Huang Wuji had made no attempt to hide his words, and when Tang Jie heard it, he knew that this was a warning. No matter how thick his face was, he could no longer feign deafness. With a laugh, he said, "Apologies for the trouble. We've arrived at Rosecloud. Everyone, please prepare to leave."
In a flash of light, a passage appeared in the sky.
The cultivators imdiately flew up toward the passage, flying up and up until they erged. They found themselves high in the sky, the Gold Ignis Astral Winds above them and a resplendent world below.
In the distance was a vast mountain range.
On their first sight of the Rosecloud Domain, the cultivators were enchanted, and praised its beauty.
Tang Jie pointed at the mountains and said, "Those are the Zephyr Mountains, the base of my Basking Moon Sect. I've already notified the disciples of the Basking Moon Sect, and my Basking Moon Sect is ready to welco all of you."
He flew down.
As he descended, music resounded from the mountains.
More than a hundred rare beasts and birds appeared together with dancing clouds while accompanied by heavenly music.
Female cultivators flew into the sky and began to dance, petals falling from their hands and creating a floral path from the mountains all the way to the sky.
A rainbow fell on the petal path, and Yun Tianlan's voice joyously announced, "For the Star Radiant Gate to co from so far to my Rosecloud is a great blessing. With such a powerful ally, my Rosecloud has a great future ahead of it!"
