I Truly Am The Villian-Chapter 1071 - 1070: Division of the Nine Domains, Arrival at the Taoist Courts

Chapter 1071: Chapter 1070: Division of the Nine Domains, Arrival at the Taoist Courts

“I have already found a way to notify Father Emperor about this matter; let’s leave the rest to them,” Lin Yunhen said with a smile.

“Our presence here might only alarm the enemy and add to their confusion.

It’s more important for us to go to the Taoist Court to study.”

Xu Zimei looked at him in surprise; Lin Yunhen had a clearer perspective than Xia Wanqing.

Each person should do what they are capable of.

“Let’s go,” Xu Zimei nodded.

The three of them left the inn, exited Azure Snake City, and a thunderous dragon roar resounded.

They saw the huge body of the Seven-Winged Demon Dragon waiting there early.

…

The Qianniu Taoist Court is located in the west of the Mortal Domain.

In the ancient Era of the Eight Desolates, they were not very famous.

But unexpectedly, such a minor power gave rise to an existence like the Great Emperor Funiu.

Since then, the Taoist Court was established and revered far and wide.

Passing through the territory of the Linlong Dynasty and going west for three million miles, all this land was under the Qianniu Taoist Court.

And extending out to areas tens of millions of miles around, all are ruled by them, and must obey their command.

Actually, a long time ago, the Qianniu Taoist Court wasn’t as strong.

It stood alongside the Heaven Martial Taoist Court and the Jiuwei Divine Sect.

But everyone knows what happened later.

The two sects declined, and naturally, their territories were taken over by the Qianniu Taoist Court, making it even more powerful.

“With Brother Xu’s strength, he will surely find great opportunities to shine at the Taoist Court,” Lin Yunhen praised.

Their previous encounter with Ancient Path made him realize the importance of getting on good terms with Xu Zimei.

“I’m not going for studies,” Xu Zimei waved his hand.

“I just need to ask the Great Emperor Funiu for something.”

Hearing Xu Zimei’s words, Lin Yunhen was stunned for a moment.

Then his smile became a bit awkward.

He acknowledged Xu Zimei’s strength, but mentioning the Great Emperor seemed like a bit of an exaggeration.

The entire Mortal Domain is divided into two parts, the Four Directions Domain and the Tuocang Domain.

Not to mention those hidden or unknown Great Emperors, the number of true existing Great Emperors does not exceed twenty.

As for the specific reason, it’s because the Mortal Domain can’t compare with the other domains.

The Holy Court is settled in the Robbery Immortal Domain, while the top ten families were established in the Heaven Extreme Realm.

Besides, the Divine Race resides in the Kun Ruins Domain, which is not a world of the human race, and everything is governed by the Divine Race.

As for the Netherworld Realm, that place is the endpoint of death.

It’s said that when the creatures of this world die, their souls will naturally drift to the Netherworld Realm.

There, it leads directly to the Great Dao’s Realm of Life and Death.

Where they can reincarnate.

However, these are legends; only the dead can enter the Netherworld Realm.

What is different, though, is that the natives of the Netherworld Realm call their world the Illusionary Sea, not the Netherworld.

Besides these five domains, there are four others: the Catastrophe Demon Domain, the Blazing Flame Realm, the Ghost God Realm, and the Cangxuan Realm.

This is the composition of the Nine Domains of Heaven Beyond Heavens.

Each domain has its unique characteristics.

Only this lowest level, the Mortal Domain, is like a big melting pot, containing all kinds of things.

…

In the Mortal Domain, Great Emperors are extremely revered, and even if a Great Saint appears, they would be hailed as the pride of the Mortal Domain.

And as Xu Zimei wasn’t famous and no known deeds had been heard of him, Lin Yunhen naturally wouldn’t believe him.

He took it as Xu Zimei joking.

“Have you been to the Taoist Court before?” Xia Wanqing looked at Lin Yunhen, curiously asking.

“I went there once with Father Emperor when I was young, but I barely remember,” Lin Yunhen smiled.

“Being the Crown Prince of the Dynasty, is it difficult for you to go to the Taoist Court?” Xia Wanqing asked in surprise.

“Imperial dynasties are nothing special; let me tell you, there are as many as seven dynasties under the rule of Qianniu Taoist Court.”

Lin Yunhen explained, “Actually, other Taoist Courts are not so powerful, but you know, on our west side, because of the decline of Heaven Martial and Jiuwei.”

“Eventually, Qianniu Taoist Court came to dominate alone.”

“Dominance alone is not necessarily a good thing,” Xu Zimei commented.

“Everything declines when it reaches its peak; this is an unchanging truth in the cycle of life since ancient times.”

“I haven’t seen the decline, but in recent years, Qianniu Taoist Court has indeed grown stronger,” said Lin Yunhen.

“Having ruled the west for so many years, have they produced a second Great Emperor?” Xu Zimei asked in return.

“They have not,” Lin Yunhen nodded slightly.

“That says it all; if the high-end strength does not advance, then the strong mid-tier strength is merely an illusion, like a flower in a mirror or the moon’s reflection on the water,” Xu Zimei shook his head and chuckled.

Lin Yunhen did not argue, as these matters held no significance.

…

About seven days later, the three of them finally crossed the border of Linlong Dynasty and arrived in front of Qianniu Taoist Court.

Taoist Courts are different from other Sect Gates.

When most Sect Gates establish their base, they choose locations rich in Spiritual Energy and with Immortal Mountains.

Such selections bring great benefits to their disciples.

However, Taoist Courts do not need to consider these aspects.

With the existence of Dao origin, even a barren mountain can be transformed into Immortal Mountain and Dong Fu.

The area of Qianniu Taoist Court exceeded Xu Zimei’s imagination.

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.

The entire Sect Gate spans about one million square meters.

Merely as an outer Sect Gate, it could rival some Imperial Rule Immortal Gates in Yuan Central Continent.

Not to mention the inner gate and core areas.

The disciples within the Taoist Court mostly fly by stepping into the air or by riding Exotic Beasts, because the area of the Taoist Court is vastly extensive.

“The most renowned features of Qianniu Taoist Court are its Three Hundred Immortal Mountains and Three Thousand Dong Fu,” Lin Yunhen narrated enthusiastically.

“Within the Taoist Court, not only Elders, but also every Core Disciple, have their own mountain peak and Dong Fu.

The higher their strength, the closer their residence is to the Dao origin.”

“When we go to the Taoist Court, this place is their main base. We must try our best not to cause conflicts,” Xia Wanqing looked at Xu Zimei and advised with some worry.

She knew Xu Zimei’s temperament; there were some issues he would not back down from.

“I have my own plans,” Xu Zimei smiled.

Looking upward, the Qianniu Taoist Court has various types of Immortal Trees planted on both sides.

Divine Beasts often flap their wings overhead, and Talented Disciples travel by sword.

The towering gates are hidden among the clouds.

Everything is solemn and majestic yet ethereal and detached from the worldly dust.

“Everyone praises the Taoist Court’s excellence, reaching beyond the mortal world,” Lin Yunhen laughed loudly.

The three of them walked up the stairs leading to the gate.

There are a total of one thousand and one hundred steps. Xu Zimei wanted to fly up but was stopped by Lin Yunhen.

“Brother Xu, you must not,” Lin Yunhen explained.

“When outsiders come to the Taoist Court for the first time, they must walk up the stairs, otherwise, it would be considered an offense to the Taoist Court.

Once we are inside the Taoist Court, you can fly freely afterward.”

Xu Zimei shook his head with a wry smile, not wanting to make it difficult for the two of them.

The stairs seemed imbued with a special force.

With each step taken, a force of suppression comes down, but it suppresses not the body but the Divine Soul.

By the time you finish all the steps, you feel incredibly weak, while the Taoist Court appears grand and boundless.

“Please inform the elder, the Crown Prince of Linlong Dynasty has come to seek knowledge,” Lin Yunhen requested humbly.

At the sides of the gate stood two young men dressed in blue.

Their gazes were radiant, tinged with a hint of arrogance.

Even being merely gatekeepers at the Taoist Court, they are revered by countless people in the outside world.
