Transcending the Nine Heavens

“How could I not know? Senior Liu Yongxiang has countless legends on the Nine Heavens Continent, and few people are unaware of them!” Chu Yang couldn’t help but feel a bit confused; this city lord seemed very familiar with the Nine Heavens Continent...

“Coincidentally, it is indeed a coincidence...” Lord Wen said with a hint of emotion.

“Hmm? What do you mean, city lord...”

“Young brother doesn’t know; generally, those strong individuals who ascend from the Nine Heavens Continent usually land in Eastern Sovereign Heaven. These strong individuals are all elites among humans, the best of the best, and are famous here in our Eastern Sovereign Heaven.”

Lord Wen continued with a sense of nostalgia: “In contrast, most of those who ascend from other places are merely small fries; their cultivation levels are weak and unnotable. Some die upon ascending, while others become lackeys, falling into the lower ranks…”

“Only those who ascend from the Nine Heavens Continent can truly be called ‘strong’!” Lord Wen sighed.

Chu Yang nodded thoughtfully, “So that’s how it is.”

He thought to himself, what’s so strange about it? In other continents, it’s enough to ascend at the supreme first rank, but on the Nine Heavens Continent, even the supreme ninth rank doesn’t meet the criteria; it’s akin to completing two levels of martial arts below before ascending. Of course, they would be somewhat stronger than those from other places.

Moreover, after ascending, based on the habitual thinking of the people from the Nine Heavens Pavilion, they consider newly ascended individuals to be weak; however, those from the Nine Heavens Continent actually have an inherent advantage.

Even ordinary forces could easily have them toppled upon arrival.

“So there are so many renowned predecessors from the Nine Heavens Continent here in Eastern Sovereign Heaven…” Chu Yang seemed somewhat proud.

“Not just renowned!” Lord Wen said with a respectful expression, “Back then, when the limitless blade first entered the Nine Heavens Pavilion, the couple stirred up a lot of trouble, eliminating the entire family of a spoiled young master who had entangled with his wife; they caused quite a bloodbath. They went on to roam around and within just thirty years, they truly had enemies everywhere. Almost everyone thought the couple was doomed, but two hundred years later, Liu Yongxiang not only survived but established a formidable reputation with his wife! His enemies either died or went into hiding, while many sought to avoid the mundane world completely.”

“Now, the phrase limitless blade has become an immortal legend of the Nine Heavens Pavilion!”

“Then there are Morning Breeze and Flowing Clouds, who similarly made a huge ruckus on their first day upon ascending. They were even more ruthless than the Liu couple. They offended a powerful family immediately upon arrival and ended up fleeing together. For fifty years, they fought and escaped, but after fifty years, when they reappeared in Eastern Sovereign City, they had already reached saint level! Their counterattack was so powerful that they almost decimated that family in just one day.”

“It was only when the Eastern Sovereign Heaven government sent experts that they were subdued. Eastern Emperor Your Majesty personally ordered that Morning Breeze and Flowing Clouds be stationed at the Yin Realm Yang Pass; overseeing the entry and exit of trillions of Yin Realm spirits. Such a position, even in the Nine Heavens Pavilion, could be considered a feudal lord!”

Lord Wen spoke of Morning Breeze and Flowing Clouds with envy.

Clearly, their official positions far exceeded that of a mere city lord...

As for the limitless blade, Lord Wen didn’t even express envy. Well, those two were already legends; simply being mentioned in tales sufficed, and comparing oneself to them would be foolish...

“These are the four most renowned individuals among those who ascended from the Nine Heavens Continent! Moreover, they are two couples.” Lord Wen assessed Chu Yang: “Brother Chu, you... haven’t also brought your wife along, have you?”
