Chapter 7 Nine Earths and Nine Heavens
"Jizi, what exactly are the five states and four seas like?" Gu Tian asked with a smile. The man and demon who walked halfway through the bridge continued their question and answer.
"The five states and four seas correspond to the 'Nine Lands' in the world. The Zhongtu Shenzhou is named after the Chinese character because its geographical location is roughly in the center of the 'Nine Lands' and surrounded by four seas. The north of Zhongzhou is separated by the North Sea waters. It is said that it is an extremely cold place, covered with ice and snow all year round, and there are magical but extremely powerful creatures that have never been there."
"The east of Zhongzhou is a place called Dongtaipingzhou across the East China Sea. It is not much different from Zhongtu Shenzhou. I know that the similar Taoist priesthood is the only one that is slightly weaker than Zhongzhou, and there are only eight immortal Taoist ranks."
"The place in the south of Zhongzhou is called Nanji Huangzhou. It is the territory of the demon clan and is also a place that I often go to. The demon clan there is different from the spiritual demons born with this palace, and it is also passed down from blood. Some powerful demon clans usually practice and live in human form. The great demons there are respected as the Great Sage, and the same as the Taoist position here, and there are also ten. The westernmost part of the West Sea is an extremely dangerous area. That place is called Daxi Liangzhou, which is the habitat of the demon clan."
"What's the Demon? What's the matter? Is it very powerful?"
"The demon clan was also normal creatures at first. However, after being contaminated by the demons outside the domain, these creatures lost their nature and became vicious creatures who only knew how to kill and destroy. They became demon clans, and also powerful alien clans. Great monks and great demons were contaminated by demons. While maintaining their wisdom, they had more powerful power. According to the records of the Shenzhou Chronicle, when the world first opened, there was only one continent in the world, its name was Shenzhou, surrounded by infinite seas. In ancient times, a large-scale demon-stained catastrophe occurred. The catastrophe began in the western part of Shenzhou, and it came fiercely. The western part of Shenzhou was almost completely contaminated, and there was a tendency to spread to the entire continent."
"The powerful people in the longevity realm could only unite to resist the demon tide. In the end, they could only use the forbidden method to isolate the western part of the Shenzhou. However, the power of the forbidden method implemented by all the powerful people was too great. Although the western part of the Shenzhou was successfully isolated, due to the huge fluctuations, the other three continents on the seaside were also shook away, leaving only the Zhongzhou continent. Under the influence of the aftermath of the forbidden method, the four states that were shaken away further and further towards the depths of the sea, and finally formed the current pattern of the five states and four seas billions of years later. After that, Mo Ran became a taboo in this other four states in the world, and all those with signs of demon dying will be eliminated. In the great Liangzhou, the strongest one is the most powerful one, and the Demon Lord is said to have two more than Zhongzhou. Do you think it is powerful?"
"Awesome, amazing. Although I don't understand it very much, I still think it's very powerful. Have you ever been there?" Gu Tian asked with a smile.
"I haven't been there before. The five major states are separated by four seas, and each sea is extremely vast. There are various powerful existences and dangerous space storms in the depths of the sea. Even in the heyday of this palace, it cannot be passed through.
"But you just said you have been to Dongtaipingzhou and Nanji Huangzhou?" Gu Tianxiao was a little confused.
"This is related to the next 'Nine Heavens'," said Ji Zi. "In addition to 'Nine Earths', there are 'Nine Heavens'. This world does not refer to the nine heavens, but rather, there are nine cave worlds in this world. The records about 'Nine Heavens' are more vague. I only know that these cave worlds also existed when the world first opened. Unlike 'Nine Earths', each cave world has its own rules and regulations. Your spiritual treasure book serves as a medium.
What is bound is the "Yanya Blessed Land" in it. This palace only knows some of the things about this blessed land. In the "Yanya Blessed Land", only creatures like me who have made contracts with people, or flawless lives favored by heaven and earth, can be allowed to exist in the blessed land. As a blessed land, there is more spiritual energy, and all kinds of essences of heaven and earth are rich in the nine lands. However, there is no fighting between the law. The creatures of each family have their own realm, and they occupy the mountains and lands according to their realm, and they do not violate the rivers."
"Your mother was lucky enough to enter the 'Gushe Blessing Land' in her early years. According to your mother, she seemed to be in a dream at that time. She only remembered that the sound of fairy sounds around her were scattering flowers and dancing, and she welcomed your mother into the 'Gushe Blessing Land'. When she woke up, she thought it was just a beautiful dream without a trace, but there was a white wooden hairpin carved with a snow phoenix on her hair bun. I don't know what kind of fairy wood this snow hairpin was made of. The back of the hairpin was engraved with Gushe Blessing, and the swords and guns were constantly invading the magic. From then on, your mother's broken mirror was like a bamboo shoot, which was your mother's biggest reliance besides calling the spiritual treasure book."
"When your father was young, he was accidentally teleported to a Netherworld during a sect trial. The gatekeeper there said that this is the 'Nether Cave Heaven', a world that only the dead souls can enter. The place where your father was teleported was the Nether Trial Place prepared for his disciples millions of years ago. It has long been lost now. During that trial, your father killed countless low-level dead ghosts, and finally got the prototype of his natal flying sword "Soul-Devouring", and was transmitted back to the Ancient Sword Sect by the gatekeeper. Therefore, it can be seen that these cave heavens will resonate with the pride of heaven with good fortune. And these cave heavens are independent of this world through space barriers."
"It turns out that the Nine Earths and Nine Heavens refer to this." Gu Tianxiao suddenly felt aroused.
"What's wrong? What's the problem?" asked Jin Xizi.
"When I was an experimental student in the academy, my husband told me something that she said that when a powerful man from Yin-Yang Tianzong became an immortal tens of thousands of years ago, he suddenly became a blessing in his heart and at the cost of giving up the self-forming cave heaven realm, he calculated a fortune for this trend of the world. As a result, the world suddenly dropped two huge wordless heaven monuments and stood on the Tianchen Mountain, the holy land of Yin-Yang Tianzong. Before this change of spiritual energy in the world, a wordless heaven monument suddenly manifested the twelve big words "Nine heavens, nine earths, nine close and nine open, the great way will last forever". I suddenly felt it was very suitable." Gu Tian responded with a smile.
After hearing this, Jizi thought to himself and fell into silence for a moment.
"Can you go through space barriers at will when you are in your heyday?" Gu Tianxiao saw that the cicada did not respond and continued to ask.
"No," Jinzi responded with a little regret, "Not to mention me, even the Nine Realm Heavenly Demons and Immortals cannot ignore the constraints of heaven and earth and travel through space barriers at will. However, it is said that after the Nine Realm breaks the void, you can go to the Cave Heaven world that meets the rules of the Cave Heaven, and open up a tiny Cave Heaven realm, which can be considered to be 'equitable' with this world."
"Why didn't I know these things before?" Gu Tianxiao was a little depressed.
