NOVPUBThe Divine Soul’s tiny figure, with eyes slightly closed, sat cross-legged at Xu Zimei’s abdomen.
He was naked, the face utterly expressionless.
At this moment, as Xu Zimei advanced to the Saint Vein Realm, his True Fate World was expanding in a manner visible to the naked eye.
The area of the True Fate World was growing ever larger.
Land and sea alike spread endlessly amid the "rumble rumble" of tectonic movements.
The horizon fused with the ocean, becoming one.
Chaos and numerous Monster Beasts stood within their established Myriad Demons Tribe, gazing at all this with calm.
This was the anomaly of the Saint Vein Realm.
Of course, for Xu Zimei, there was an even more crucial step to come.
That was to merge with the Nine Regions Grand Body.
The manifestation of the Divine Soul had greatly increased his strength, at one point reaching the peak level of the Saint Vein Realm.
Yet at this moment, the Divine Soul was still extremely fragile.
He swallowed the War Bead from the Nine Regions Grand Body into his stomach.
As the War Bead entered his abdomen, it faced the Divine Soul from afar.
Xu Zimei slowly connected the resonance between the two.
The Creation Force surrounded his body, flowing through him like a gentle stream.
Slowly enwrapping itself around the Nine Regions Grand Body and the Divine Soul.
After a long time, the tiny figure inside him began to tremble slightly.
The tiny figure was also enveloped in the Creation Force.
Suddenly, the previously tightly shut eyes of the tiny figure opened, and a flash of brilliance passed through them.
The tiny figure looked at the Nine Regions Grand Body before him, and with a small opening of its mouth, swallowed the Battle Body Bead.
At this moment, the tiny figure shone with a resplendent golden light, and it seemed to experience pain in its abdomen.
Its expression twisted, rolling and tumbling within Xu Zimei’s body.
Xu Zimei hurriedly used the Creation Force and the Tree of Life to treat the tiny figure’s injuries.
The Tree of Life remained remarkably effective in healing the Divine Soul.
The tiny figure’s body, originally covered in many cracks as if about to shatter, slowly absorbed the power of the Nine Regions Grand Body under Xu Zimei’s all-out treatment.
Gradually adapting to the existence of the Battle Body.
In fact, this transformation had taken a considerable length of time in the outside world.
After a long while again, the tiny figure gradually stood up and returned to his original cross-legged position.
But now, the tiny figure was vastly different from before.
It was adorned in a nine-colored armor.
The armor was divided into nine palaces, each guarded by a creature.
The tiny figure, imposing and majestic, radiated a nine-colored glow, its sharpness fully revealed.
If Xu Zimei’s Divine Soul were to be attacked in the future, it would have to first breach the defenses of these nine palaces.
An ordinary person might not even be able to break through a single palace.
Moreover, this Nine Regions Grand Body possessed not only defense, but its Divine Soul attacks also ranked among the foremost of all techniques. 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝘤𝑜𝘮
...
Xu Zimei slowly opened his eyes.
The cave he was in was now covered in cobwebs; the interior was damp and gloomy.
In the mountains, there were no years; in cultivation, no time was counted.
This advancement to the Saint Vein Realm and the integration with the Nine Regions Grand Body had taken him two months of time.
He was already considered quick, thanks to the presence of the Tree of Life.
Xu Zimei was not afraid to get hurt, often pushing his body to the limit before stopping.
In the later stages, like ordinary people seeking Enlightenment, breaking through to higher realms, even a hundred years would not be strange.
Xu Zimei stepped out of the cave.
He did not see the desired sunlight; instead, it was snowing heavily outside.
The snowflakes danced between heaven and earth.
The withering leaves and yellowing autumn, had finally, silently left with his period of seclusion.
He walked on land thickly blanketed with snow, his figure gradually disappearing into the wind and snow.
A trail of deep footprints appeared, strikingly evident as they followed the figure that vanished into the skyline.

If you were to lay out a map of the Eastern Continent before you,
it would surely be a magnificent and expansive landscape, a testament to its grandeur.
The Imperial Rule Immortal Sects, the six most powerful forces, dominate this land.
But to say that the Imperial Rule Immortal Sects rule over the entire core region of the Eastern Continent isn’t entirely true.
The core region of the Eastern Continent is vast and boundless, with the Immortal Sects occupying most of it.
Still, there are many territories with their own dominators.
Whether they are forbidden lands or treacherous places, certain remote or special areas exist.
Dragon City is one such location.
It is situated on the distant northern border of the Eastern Continent.
At the northernmost point, close to the Endless Heaven Sea, it serves as a dividing line of the continent.
On one side of Dragon City lies the Eastern Continent, whereas beyond the Endless Heaven Sea, another realm awaits across the horizon.
The Northern Continent!
The Endless Heaven Sea separates everything, dividing the five continents and encircling the Central Continent.
Traveling from the Eastern to the Northern Continent is not particularly difficult.
Here, one can traverse the Endless Heaven Sea via airships to reach the Other Shore.
Dragon City doesn’t belong to any force.
To put it simply, they are a force in and of themselves.
A strong and ancient existence.
A million years ago, during the Era War, the True Martial Great Emperor sought to establish the Era of Emperors.
The Heavenly Curtain War God slaughtered the entire Dragon Clan,
It is said that on that day, blood flowed like rivers, and the Dragon Clan’s fresh blood forged an epically cruel Changhe,
signifying the demise of the Dragon Clan.
Indeed, during that time, some humans willingly served as lapdogs to the Monster Beasts,
as the might of the Monster Beasts in the Wild Desolation Era had deeply ingrained itself in people’s hearts.
The task of forging a new era was exceedingly difficult.
Even when the True Martial Great Emperor had exclusive control over the ten Divine Beasts, many were still skeptical.
Among these skeptics was Dragon City, the most prominent representative.
They built Dragon City and revered the Divine Dragon as their totem,
willing to serve the Divine Dragon from generation to generation.
The only apparent benefit was the occasional grant of Dragon Blood cleansing by the Divine Dragon,
eventually becoming Dragon Blood Warriors.
.........
Dragon Blood Warriors, a type of exotic species clad in human skin, completely substituting their human bloodline with dragon blood.
This exotic species, with its mottled bloodline, cannot progress far on the Martial Path.
To reach higher levels on their Martial Path to Heaven, they must purify their bloodline to pureness.
Over the years, Dragon City has kept to itself, quietly developing at one end of the Endless Heaven Sea.
Consequently, many have lost interest in Dragon City,
This ancient existence has faced countless setbacks from the Wild Desolation Era to the present, eventually arriving at this precarious state.
A grand celebration of the family on the Northern Continent is set to take place in a few months.
According to the information Xu Zimei has gathered, it seems to be a grand lifespan celebration.
A ten thousand year lifespan celebration to honor his grandfather.
When the time comes, it is expected that the entire Northern Continent will be in attendance, whether the grandfather will make a public appearance remains unknown.
The last time he saw his grandfather was, it seems, right after his own birth.
The memory has become quite vague.
He had previously promised the Sword Immortal Jiang Yun to deliver his legacy back to the family,
and this trip also happens to provide a convenient opportunity to do so.
Once he finds the Void Spirit Monkey, it will be time to venture to the Ancient Demon Cave and inquire about the Demon Lord’s affairs.
The existence of the Demon Lord has likely always been the matter of greatest concern in Xu Zimei’s heart.
