Chapter 1128 Seclusion: The Path to Advancement to the Sovereign Realm

Just as the Zhen Dong Prince's Mansion had firmly established itself in the eastern territory, and the name of Lei Di Mo Yu was at its zenith, with the entire eastern region united in support and the defenses seemingly impregnable.

The other two vast and important frontier regions of the Great Thousand World are also undergoing earth-shattering changes due to the existence of the two legendary rulers from lower planes.

In the far north, the endless fire domain shakes the eight wastelands.

The far northern frontier is extremely harsh, shrouded year-round in the "Nine Nether Profound Qi" that can freeze spiritual energy and the "Aurora Flame Stream" that can burn the soul.

Therefore, the living conditions are extremely harsh, but it is precisely because of this that many natural treasures with fire and ice attributes have been nurtured. It has always been a place where harshness and opportunity coexist.

The "Frost Demon Clan" and "Inferno Demon Clan" from the extraterrestrial evil races have long coveted this place and frequently harass it.

After Emperor Yan Xiao Yan led the main force of the Endless Fire Domain back, he was not satisfied with his existing foundation.

With his Saint-level cultivation, combined with his unparalleled fire control techniques and alchemy and weapon crafting skills, he began to drastically transform and manage this harsh and cold star field.

First, based on twenty-two upgraded different flame sources, he set up an unprecedented "Ten Thousand Flames Burning the Sky Array" in the core area of ​​the far north.

This formation not only gathers and regulates the chaotic ice and fire energy in the far north, but also transforms the volcanic continent where the Endless Fire Domain is located into a perpetually burning, yet vibrant, fiery sanctuary.

Within the formation, the strange fire evolved in countless ways, allowing cultivators to comprehend the Great Dao of Fire and also to refine pure "Fire Elemental Liquid," greatly improving the local cultivation environment and attracting countless powerful individuals and forces practicing fire-attribute techniques to come and attach themselves to it.

Secondly, Xiao Yan personally took action to wipe out several powerful evil clan strongholds that had been entrenched on the far northern border for many years.

Faced with the extreme cold demonic energy of the Frost Demon Clan, he used special strange fires such as "Bone Spirit Cold Fire" and "Three Thousand Burning Flames" to counter it, burning the ice into energy.

When faced with the demonic fire of the Fiery Hell Demon Clan, they used higher-level imperial flames such as "Purifying Lotus Demon Flame" and "Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame" to suppress and devour it.

After several major battles, the name of the Flame Emperor became widely known in the far north. The absolute suppression of demonic flames by his imperial flames terrified the evil race.

What's even more commendable is that Xiao Yan did not monopolize the resources.

He established a comprehensive contribution exchange system and trading network centered around the Endless Fire Domain.

They engage in fair trade of the northern specialties and, with their unparalleled alchemy skills, provide high-quality pills to cultivators from all sides. They even share some of their basic insights into controlling different types of fire.

This transformed the far north from a chaotic and barren land into a prosperous region characterized by order, thriving commerce, and a surge in cultivation.

The Endless Fire Domain thus became the undisputed overlord and stabilizing force of the far north, shouldering the heavy responsibility of resisting the invasion of the northern evil race. Wherever its "Flame" banner went, evil spirits would flee.

Xiao Yan was also personally bestowed the title of Zhenbei Zhumo Wang of Daqian Palace by Qin Tian's special envoy!

In the far south, the martial realm is renowned throughout the world.

Unlike other regions of the world, the far south is not composed of a large number of small continents, but rather consists of several vast and exceptionally solid supercontinents, known as the "Wilderness Ancient Land".

This place preserves more relics and features from ancient and even barbaric times, and is home to countless ancient races and primordial beasts with strong bodies who worship power, and where martial arts are prevalent.

However, this also led to frequent internal strife in the southern border regions, giving the evil races from outside the region, especially the "Corpse Demon Clan" and "Bone Demon Clan" who were skilled at eroding flesh and blood and controlling war puppets, an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

After returning, Martial Ancestor Lin Dong adopted a different strategy from Xiao Yan in the face of the complex situation in the Desolate Ancient Continent.

He did not undertake large-scale environmental reforms, but instead used martial arts to make friends, force to subdue people, and virtue to influence them.

Lin Dong personally ventured deep into dangerous places and ruins throughout the ancient and desolate continent, sparring and competing with powerful members of the ancient races and overlords of the primordial beasts.

Although he had just entered the Saint Rank, he possessed the power of eight Ancestral Symbols, his martial will was unbreakable, and he had also integrated the protective essence of the Plane Embryo, making his strength unfathomable.

In each and every sparring match, whether it was physical combat, a contest of strength, or a battle of wills, Lin Dong displayed overwhelming strength and an awe-inspiring level of martial arts.

He not only won, but also pointed out the flaws in his opponent's martial arts during the exchange, and shared his own understanding of power and protection.

At the same time, under Lin Dong's instructions, the Martial Realm army took the initiative to launch an attack to wipe out the Corpse Demon Clan and Bone Demon Clan that were rampaging on the edge of the Desolate Ancient Continent.

Martial realm experts generally cultivate body-refining martial arts, possessing vigorous blood and qi, and an iron will, making them the nemesis of these evil spirits that toy with corpses and erode minds.

In particular, Lin Dong's earliest and most loyal generals, such as Lin Diao and Xiao Yan, were battle-hardened, decisive, and brought the martial arts battle formations of the Martial Realm to their fullest potential.

With their absolute strength, honorable conduct, and camaraderie in fighting common enemies, Lin Dong and Wu Jing quickly earned the respect and recognition of many powerful races and forces in the desolate ancient continent.

They voluntarily recognized Wu Jing as their leader, accepted Lin Dong's command and reorganization, and jointly established the "Wilderness Martial Alliance".

Lin Dong publicly imparted some suitable martial arts inheritances and battle formations to improve the martial arts level and collaborative combat capabilities of the entire desolate ancient continent.

Under the leadership of Wu Jing, the previously scattered and infighting ancient continent quickly coalesced into a powerful force, not only driving out the infiltrated Corpse Demons and Bone Demons, but also building a solid martial arts defense line on the border.

The black "Wu" character battle flag of Wujing has become a symbol of courage, strength and unity in the far south.

Lin Dong's name, "Martial Ancestor," resounded throughout the wilderness. He was revered as a martial arts master, the guardian deity of the Southern Frontier, and personally instructed by the Great Thousand Palace to suppress the Demon King of the South.

The Eastern Zhen Dong Wang Mansion, the Endless Fire Domain in the Far North, and the Martial Realm in the Far South are three super forces founded and dominated by ascendants from lower planes.

Almost simultaneously, with overwhelming force, they established themselves in the three most crucial and turbulent border regions of the Great Thousand World—east, north, and south—and rapidly grew in strength, becoming the most solid forward fortresses against the invasion of extraterrestrial evil races.

They have very different styles. The Prince of Zhendong's Mansion integrates them with swift and decisive measures, with strict laws and regulations, and rules over the area.

The Endless Fire Domain uses exotic fire as its foundation for alchemy, weapon crafting, thriving commerce, and educating the local people.

In the Martial Realm, people make friends through martial arts, unite ancient clans, hone battle formations, and protect their territory.

However, the three super powers share a common core: all three leaders rose from humble beginnings to become Saint-level rulers through their own talent and perseverance, and they all possessed a deep-rooted sense of responsibility to protect their homeland and the world.

Although the three forces are separated by billions of miles of starry sky, they maintain close ties and tacit understanding due to the life-and-death friendship and shared ideals of Mo Yu, Xiao Yan, and Lin Dong.

Intelligence sharing, resource exchange, and frequent talent exchange.

Once one side encounters a powerful enemy, the other two sides will never sit idly by. The war on the Tiangong Continent is the best proof of this.

Soon, the name "Iron Triangle of the Great Thousand Worlds" spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of the Great Thousand Worlds.

"In the east, the Thunder Emperor guards the land; in the north, the Flame Emperor burns the heavens; and in the south, the Martial Ancestor protects the world! These three great forces are mutually supportive and interdependent, forming the mainstay of our Great Thousand World in resisting evil!"

"The three leaders all came from lower planes, yet they have achieved such success. This is truly a blessing for our Great Thousand World! With them around, what is there to fear from the evil race?"

"The name 'Iron Triangle' is truly fitting! This is the biggest change in the landscape of our Great Thousand World in nearly ten thousand years! It is also the most hopeful situation to resist the evil race from beyond the realm!"

……

Countless powerful beings in the vast world were overjoyed, regarding the three major forces as role models and sources of support.

Many smaller and medium-sized forces even actively migrated to the territories controlled by the three major powers, seeking protection and development.

The Great Thousand Palace was also pleased with this outcome. Qin Tian, ​​the Demon King, even publicly praised it, saying that this "iron triangle" formation greatly relieved the pressure on the long defense line of the Great Thousand World and made an unparalleled contribution to the common people of the Great Thousand World.

The Prince of Zhendong's Mansion, the Leidi Palace.

Mo Yu stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the dazzling starry sky. In his hand, he played with a communication fire bead, which was sent by Xiao Yan and tempered with the power of a different kind of fire. It contained information about the recent developments of the Endless Fire Domain and the movements of the Northern Evil Clan.

In his other hand, he held a jade slip sealed with the aura of the Eight Ancestral Symbols, sent by Lin Dong. Inside was the latest alliance agreement of the Ancient Wilderness Martial Arts Alliance and a map of the southern border defenses.

A faint smile appeared on his lips.

When brothers are of one mind, their strength can break even metal.

This "iron triangle" has been formed, and the world is no longer simply on the defensive against the evil races from beyond the realm, but has a solid foothold and the confidence to counterattack.

However, his gaze immediately became profound.

He knew that the extraterrestrial evil races would never sit idly by and watch the "Iron Triangle" grow steadily. The Holy Heaven Demon Emperor's temporary retreat, the Myriad Tribulations Thunder Demon Emperor's hatred, and other covetous demons... an even greater storm might be brewing in that deep dark abyss.

He himself must also improve his strength more quickly, not only in terms of cultivation level, but also in his exploration of the Sovereign Realm.

Thinking about his future path, Mo Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately ordered that he would go into seclusion for several months and not see anyone during that time.

Although the powerful figures of the Zhen Dong Prince's Mansion were puzzled by this, none of them dared to question Mo Yu, who was now incredibly powerful. Moreover, with three Saint-level enshrined figures guarding the Zhen Dong Prince's Mansion, even if Mo Yu did not show up, there would be no trouble for the time being.

Deep within the Thunder Emperor Palace, even in seclusion, Mo Yu never truly relaxed his guard.

He knew perfectly well that the peace before him was merely the calm before the storm. The strength of the extraterrestrial evil race lay not in the patriarchs of the demon races or the Holy Demon Emperor, but in the most terrifying Heavenly Evil God.

This person's strength has surpassed that of everyone in the entire world throughout history, reaching an unprecedented level. Even the legendary Immortal Emperor, although he sacrificed himself to seal the Heavenly Evil God, may have had the intention of the latter being deliberately sealed away.

Therefore, he needs even greater power, not just mid-stage Saint rank, but enough to deal with the potential threat from the Heavenly Evil God and truly protect everything.

After reading the ancient books hidden in the Great Thousand Palace and exchanging ideas with Xiao Yan and Lin Dong, Mo Yu learned that the realm above the Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme, the legendary realm above the Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme, is ethereal and rarely seen since ancient times.

Even powerful figures like the Immortal Emperor and Qin Tian have not been able to truly set foot there.

However, there is a way. Ancient books vaguely mention that if one wants to reach the realm above the Saintly Heavenly Supreme, one must return all laws to their source and build an unparalleled foundation.

In Mo Yu's memory, the realm above the Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme is called the Dominator Realm, which can only be achieved by leaving one's true name on the Sky Ranking!

Without Mo Yu, only three people in the history of the Great Thousand Worlds could achieve the Sovereign Realm.

They are Mu Chen, Xiao Yan, and Lin Dong!

Xiao Yan and Lin Dong were able to advance to the Sovereign Realm because of their accumulated strength. Whether in the lower planes or the Great Thousand World, their strength and foundation have been steadily improving over time, which is why they were able to leave their names on the Sky Ranking.

As for Mu Chen in the original work, although his cultivation time was not comparable to Xiao Yan and Lin Dong, he took a different path, using the five original Dharma bodies as a foundation, merging them into one, and finally ascending to the position of Dominator.

The story of Mu Chen's advancement to the Sovereign Realm also gave Mo Yu great inspiration.

Although with enough hard work and accumulation over time, it's not impossible for Mo Yu to make a name for himself on the Sky Ranking and advance to the Sovereign Realm, such a process is too passive.

Mu Chen's proactive pursuit of breakthrough opportunities aligns with Mo Yu's personality.

"Using my original body as the source, I will differentiate into spiritual bodies and cultivate the five original Dharma bodies together. Ultimately, all laws will return to their source and nourish my own body, which may become the foundation of my Dao!" An extremely bold, even crazy, idea gradually became clear during Mo Yu's seclusion.

For ordinary powerful individuals, cultivating even one supreme dharma body is extremely difficult. To cultivate multiple dharma bodies simultaneously and reach the highest level is almost impossible, as they would be overwhelmed by the need to be in multiple places at once and would face fundamental conflicts.

But Mo Yu is different!

Not only is he exceptionally talented and resolute, but more importantly, he has experience in creating and controlling powerful clones and has unique insights into soul division and will control.

Although Mo Yu did not master the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique, one of the thirty-six peerless divine abilities, like Mu Chen, his current strength was in no way inferior to the Heavenly Emperor of ancient times. Since the Heavenly Emperor was able to create the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique, why couldn't Mo Yu create his own unique clone technique?

Having made up her mind, Mo Yu no longer hesitated.

He instructed Qing Yanjing to take full control of the palace, and sent a message to Lei Feier, Yun Yun, Xiao Yu and others to assist him. Then he completely sealed off the Chaotic Thunder Source Secret Realm, the core of the Thunder Emperor Palace.

Within the secret realm, chaotic lightning flowed like liquid, evolving into a scene of creation and destruction.

Mo Yu sat cross-legged on the "Chaotic Thunder Lotus" in the center of the secret realm, abandoning all distracting thoughts and focusing his mind on the Chaotic Thunder Pill deep in his dantian, which had already condensed ancient thunder patterns.

"Chaos is the origin, from which spiritual light differentiates, each holding its own path, all striving to be the master!"

He chanted the incantation, and the extremely refined Saint-grade divine soul core between his brows suddenly shone brightly!

A dazzling main soul, containing the core of Mo Yu's complete memories and will, remained firmly in the center, while four other relatively slender but equally solid and pure split soul lights were forcibly separated from the main soul and evolved out!

This process was incredibly painful, like tearing one's soul apart, but Mo Yu's will was as strong as iron. With his profound understanding of severing clones, he managed to complete this perilous step.

Time passed, and four beams of divine light slowly floated before Mo Yu, shimmering softly…
