NOVPUBJiu Province, the most fruitful land within the Primal Chaos Realm, is also the most central territory occupied by the Human Clan.
Strictly speaking, the territory of Jiu Province is the true domain of the Great Yin Imperial Dynasty. Beyond Jiu Province, the thirty-six Territories are mostly governed remotely, with the Great Yin Imperial Dynasty and the various Great Grotto Heavens Blessed Lands, Masters of the Deities, sharing rule.
However, within Jiu Province, the Great Yin Imperial Dynasty possesses absolute control rights.
After enduring the Great Schism for tens of thousands of years, the prolonged era of Spirit Energy depletion and the imperfection of rules led to a significant shrinkage of the Primal Chaos Realm’s territories, no longer as vast as the grand world at its peak.
Furthermore, dynasty changes and chaos over generations completely scattered the diminished territories of the thirty-six Territories of Jiu Province across tenfold, dividing the human Imperial Dynasty into eighteen provinces.
Yet, during the glory days of the Human Path tens of thousands of years before, each large province within Jiu Province far exceeded the sum of the latter-day eighteen.
And within Jiu Province, the momentum of humanity’s fate was unprecedentedly high, the accumulations of tens of thousands of years of the Human Clan within the Primal Chaos Realm, and the recognition from the Human Clan of various other realms, all gathered here inexhaustibly.
The reason why Masters of the Deities like the Eastern Glory Divine Monarch dared not set foot in Jiu Province was not merely due to fear of the Great Yin Imperial Dynasty’s majesty.
More importantly, this glorious tide of humanity’s fate would constantly suppress the alien deities not recognized by the Human Path.
God Honors at the Void Refining level were degraded to Heavenly Court Canonical Gods here, while Masters of the Deities were forcibly suppressed to the Status Grid of Divine Monarch.
Outside Jiu Province, the Eastern Glory Divine Monarch could roam with impunity, relying on his formidable cultivation. But within Jiu Province, it only took two Taoist Doyens wielding Mortal Emperor’s Decrees to slay a Divine Monarch.
It was precisely because the Jiu Province region’s suppression of foreign deities and evil demons had reached a terrifying degree that various forces curled up outside Jiu Province, not daring to invade this core land of the Human Clan.
Shen Yuan’s understanding of Jiu Province mostly came from ancient texts passed down in later generations, without confirmation of their authenticity.
However, as Shen Yuan, who carried with him the great momentum of the Human Path, personally stepped into this vast world, he could confirm the ancient accounts were no falsehood.
Standing on the land of Jiu Province, Shen Yuan could clearly feel the great momentum of the Human Path within him reviving. The meager fortune of humanity from later generations could not be compared to the glory of the Human Path from tens of thousands of years ago.
Even though the land had long been controlled by the Great Yin’s Mortal Emperor, the significant momentum of the Human Path within him was still resonating with the omnipresent fate of humanity.
If he could borrow even a fraction of it, he would easily suppress the Immortals of the current world.
Shen Yuan’s heart fluttered slightly, but then he quickly suppressed that nearly mad thought within him.
Tens of thousands of years of accumulation had made the Great Yin Imperial Dynasty’s control over Jiu Province incredibly powerful, beyond further enhancement.
Shen Yuan, bearing the great Human Path momentum, would be noticed by the Great Yin’s Mortal Emperor inside the Imperial Capital if he reached for any chance to tap into humanity’s fate.
Wait for Shen Yuan would no longer be just a mere Divine Monarch but the entire foundation of tens of thousands of years of the Great Yin Imperial Dynasty.
With the Star Astrology Divine Power operating within him, Shen Yuan looked up toward the firmament. Even in broad daylight, he could still see the eternal stars suspended above the realms.
Following the guidance of the stars, Shen Yuan determined that he was in You Province, one of Jiu Province’s territories.
With the enhancement of Pot’s Heaven Divine Power, he quickly locked onto the largest city within thousands of miles, his gaze spanning the distance of space.
Surrounding this city were many towns. Cultivators flew through the sky above the great city, and the scent of incense from the City God Temples, along with the fortune of humanity, enveloped the entire city.
With a casual opening of a spatial passage, Shen Yuan stepped through it and made his way toward the city.
...
In Chuyang City, within a secluded dwelling,
Shen Yuan in the cultivation chamber stopped circulating Spirit Energy and slowly opened his eyes.
It had been half a month since he entered Chuyang City. During this time, he stabilized his cultivation realm while watching to see if the Eastern Glory Divine Monarch pursued him.
After confirming that the Eastern Glory Divine Monarch had not stepped foot into Jiu Province, Shen Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to wholeheartedly comprehend the Great Tao Manifestation.
This was a manifestation that Shen Yuan had created on his own, relying on his own foundation. It was no longer limited to Divine Arts, but more akin to a display of the Great Tao, with unfathomable depths.
Even when facing the Giant Mountain Divine Venerable, whose realm was far beyond his own, Shen Yuan had not even needed to employ the full power of the Great Tao Manifestation. With just the manifestations derived from Gods Purging, Unimpeded Netherworld, and Nine Breaths Qi Absorption, he had killed him.
Although the Giant Mountain Divine Venerable had been cut off from the incense offering magic domain, severing the replenishing power of the Incense Offering Divinity Path, and all of his Divine Skills restrained by Shen Yuan, he was easily slain; nevertheless, this did not diminish the majesty of the Great Tao Manifestation.
Keep in mind that Rain Invocation, Rebounding Wind Returning Fire, Arrows Piercing Voodoo Strawman, several major manifestations had not even appeared in the world, and many Earthly Destroyer Divine Skills manifestations had not been used at all from beginning to end.
Once the Great Tao Manifestation combined with Divine Skills, the resulting power would increase by several levels.
The more he delved into the Great Tao Manifestation, the more Shen Yuan realized that its strength was not only due to the foundational Heavenly General-Earthly Destroyer but also the key lay in using the manifestation of the deity to control the evolution of all paths.
With a single gesture, he could evoke the power of Heavenly General and Earthly Destroyer Divine Power. No matter how many Divine Skills you possess, I have methods to neutralize them.
Of course, while the Great Tao Manifestation is indeed mighty, it is not without weaknesses.
During his recent contemplation, Shen Yuan gradually realized the shortcomings of the Great Tao Manifestation itself. 𝓃ℴ𝓋𝓹𝓊𝓫.𝒸𝓸𝓂
The Heavenly General and Earthly Destroyer Divine Power are too potent, representing the origins of all paths. Even if the Great Tao Manifestation integrated only a part of the power of Heavenly General and Earthly Destroyer Divine Power,
