Chapter 486: The Heaven Court Ruling the Immortal Human Clan, the Terrifying Power of the Great Enchantment Skill of the Golden Immortal Sect-Tianyin Sect_2
When an Earth Immortal undergoes Dao Transformation, the area surrounding them will turn into a Void Maze, making it impossible for any living beings within the Earth Immortal Realm to escape.
As for a Heavenly Immortal undergoing Dao Transformation, it is even more terrifying — it alters the flow of time, accelerating it, causing all living beings within the Heavenly Immortal Domain to age and die faster.
If an Immortal nearing the end of their lifespan stays within the Heavenly Immortal Domain, their remaining lifespan will be rapidly consumed, instantly bringing forth their calamity and transforming them into a new Daoist Monster.
This is precisely why, in Xuanzhong City, not only did a Heavenly Immortal Monster emerge, but there are also numerous Earth Immortal Monsters, and even True Immortal Monsters.
It could be said that Xuanzhong City has already become a nest of Daoist Monsters.
If one did not flee immediately, it was likely that everyone would perish there.
"If that's the case, wouldn't those Daoist Monsters wreak havoc across the world if they spread everywhere?"
Zhou Sui asked curiously.
"Don't worry, the Heavenly Court would never allow such a thing to happen."
"If the Heavenly Court learns of this matter, they will undoubtedly dispatch a Golden Immortal to resolve it."
"At that time, dealing with those Daoist Monsters will be easy."
"It's just unfortunate that Xuanzhong City has already been destroyed, and it's almost impossible for us to return there."
Song Ziwen said helplessly.
Due to the influence of the Great Enchantment skill, Song Ziwen didn't question why Zhou Sui was asking such basic questions. Instead, he eagerly answered all of Zhou Sui's inquiries.
He even took extra care to explain critical details, worrying that Zhou Sui might not fully grasp the situation.
"So where are we heading now?"
Zhou Sui continued to ask.
"Hmm, the place we're heading to should be Qingpu City."
"It's a medium-sized city governed by the Qingpu Immortal, who is a Profound Immortal."
"It should be able to easily accommodate us refugees."
Explained Song Ziwen, the Eighth-Stage Artifact Master.
Evidently, this was the established custom of the Immortal Human Clan.
If Dao Transformations occurred in a particular area, the refugees would naturally migrate to nearby cities.
Moreover, the nearby cities were not allowed to refuse the refugees' entry.
This was a rule set by the Heavenly Court.
If someone broke this rule, they would face punishment from the Heavenly Court.
"I see."
Zhou Sui nodded.
Afterwards, he continued to subtly probe these Mahayana Cultivators about various basic facts regarding the Immortal World.
Of course, he did not ask directly, but rather asked indirectly.
In just an hour, he had learned quite a bit of relevant information.
Currently, the area he was in was known as Chu State.
The entire Human Territory was divided into numerous large states, each vast and boundless, easily equivalent to the size of ten thousand Large Thousand Worlds in the Mortal Realm.
Some states were so unimaginably large that their areas equated to tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of Large Thousand Worlds, measured in light-years.
Beneath each state lay countless Human Race Cities.
These cities were occupied by ancient families, sects, and powerful Immortals.
Among them, the strongest force was naturally the Heavenly Court, which appointed officials to oversee every city, collect taxes, and maintain its dominance.
Those who ruled an entire state were none other than a Daluo Golden Immortal, considered the Lord of a State.
They held absolute authority over the state's affairs, granting life or death at a whim.
Such beings were akin to Territory Magistrates.
However, due to the sheer enormity of the Immortal World, the Heavenly Court's control was limited. Within the regions under its dominion, the various forces and cities enjoyed significant autonomy.
As long as they did not violate the Heavenly Court's rules, these forces could act as they pleased.
Occasionally, wars and internal strife would erupt between families and sects as they vied for power and territory.
"The flying boat we're traveling on is now heading to Qingpu City."
"Qingpu City is a medium-sized city ruled by the Qingpu Immortal, a Profound Immortal."
"The city's population has already reached tens of trillions and has existed for over one billion years."
"The Qingpu Immortal, originally from the Heavenly Sound Sect, is a Profound Immortal who has comprehended the Principle of Creation, making them exceptionally powerful."
"It's said that they have lived for tens of billions of years, truly ancient."
"This is why Qingpu City can readily take in a vast number of refugees and provide them shelter."
Zhou Sui's eyes flickered.
Through conversations with these Mahayana Cultivators, he gained a deeper understanding of the Immortal World.
Without a doubt, the Immortal World was indeed unfathomably vast.
For ordinary Human Cultivators, merely exploring a portion of the Human Territory would already consume their entire lifetime.
To leave the Human Territory and venture into the domains of other clans was almost an impossible feat.
Moreover, his current circumstances seemed relatively fortunate — Chu State was located within the interior of the Human Territory, rather than its outer regions, so it did not border other clans.
It's said that border states, due to their proximity to alien races, frequently face wars.
Alien Immortals invade at times, causing countless deaths and injuries.
Humans residing in border states are often struck by calamity, resulting in their demise and Dao erosion.
However, there is one advantage to this — the Human Cultivators living in border states grow rapidly amidst constant conflict and abundant resources, swiftly attaining immortality.
Essentially, humans living in border states, if not killed, are bound to achieve immortality.
"And the owner of this flying boat is Chang Shuyi, an Immortal from the Heavenly Sound Sect, who is a Heavenly Immortal."
