Legend of Wyatt

"Alchemist Swayer, since only beings above the level of Immortal Sovereign can leave the central region and enter the Borderlands... logically, no one below the Immortal King should be able to come over from there, right?"

"In that case, aren’t the Twin Ten-Direction Immortals of the Xuan Tian Immortal Sect, who claim to be ’invincible below the Immortal King in the South Heaven Territory,’ somewhat overrated?"

After digesting the information he had learned earlier, Wyatt Barnes thought of this question and couldn’t help but ask Hunter Swayer.

Now, he had a general outline of the South Heaven Territory in mind.

The central region was vast beyond measure.

And surrounding the central region, there was a formation restriction personally set by a titled Immortal Sovereign, which not only prohibited Immortal Kings from staying long in the Borderlands but also prevented people from the central region from entering the Borderlands at will and disturbing its order.

In this situation, beings below the Immortal King from the central region couldn’t possibly come to the Borderlands, nor could they have any interaction with that pair of Twin Ten-Direction Immortals from the Xuan Tian Immortal Sect.

"Indeed, they’re somewhat overrated... this is also something many people secretly feel makes them rather shameless."

Hunter Swayer nodded, "After all, there are countless Ten-Direction Immortals in the central region, many of whom have cultivated King-level arts and mastered high-grade Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities... any one of those people could easily defeat the two brothers together."

"And because they know that the Ten-Direction Immortals from the central region can’t come to the Borderlands, they dare to boldly claim that the two brothers are ’invincible below the Immortal King in the South Heaven Territory’... but actually, they’re only invincible below the Immortal King in the Borderlands of the South Heaven Territory."

Hunter Swayer explained.

Wyatt realized.

"However, the two brothers do have some strength... together, they’ve even defeated the Ten-Direction Immortal from the Joyous Zen Sect and another Sect’s Ten-Direction Immortal."

Hunter Swayer continued.

Wyatt nodded.

After a moment, as if thinking of something, Wyatt continued to ask:

"Alchemist Swayer, since our Southeastern Six Domains are the Borderlands of the South Heaven Territory, heading inward from the Southeastern Six Domains, passing through the formation will lead to the central region of the South Heaven Territory..."

"Then, if we head outward from the Southeastern Six Domains, what place do we reach?"

According to Wyatt’s knowledge, the formation restriction encompassing the central region also serves as the ’boundary line’ between the central region and the Borderlands.

The Borderlands, like stars surrounding the moon, encircle the central region.

Heading inward from the Borderlands leads to the central region.

But heading outward, what place does one reach?

This was also something he was curious about.

"Heading outward, it’s the ’Chaotic Star Sea’!"

This time, it wasn’t Hunter Swayer who answered Wyatt, but rather the Tai Yi Sect’s Elder Ancestor, who had been accompanying them.

Elder Ancestor’s tone grew much more solemn when mentioning the ’Chaotic Star Sea’.

"Chaotic Star Sea?"

Wyatt was stunned.

"The Chaotic Star Sea is a sea spanning the entire heavens, existing between the various territories of the heavens, harboring many intelligence-lacking sea Immortal Beasts. They are not only strong but so numerous that they are as countless as the stars in the sky..."

"For this reason, the people of the heavens call it the ’Chaotic Star Sea’!"

"It’s said that to physically traverse the Chaotic Star Sea, one must at least have the strength above an Immortal Sovereign... those below the Immortal Sovereign attempting to cross it are almost certain to die! Even for those above Immortal Sovereign, and even for ordinary Immortal Sovereigns, traversing the Chaotic Star Sea carries certain risks."

"In the history of the heavens, only titled Immortal Sovereigns and Immortal Emperors could traverse the Chaotic Star Sea unscathed."

Elder Ancestor continued.

In his words, he patiently introduced the ’Chaotic Star Sea’ to Wyatt.

Instantly, Wyatt couldn’t help but gasp.

The Chaotic Star Sea, is it really that terrifying?

"Moreover, not only when heading outward from our Southeastern Six Domains does one reach the Chaotic Star Sea... even from the Borderlands of any other part of the South Heaven Territory, heading outward one also reaches the Chaotic Star Sea."

Elder Ancestor continued, "Therefore, anyone from the Borderlands of the South Heaven Territory ultimately has only one choice... which is to head to the central region of the South Heaven Territory!"

"Previously, as you’ve already learned... in the Borderlands, after breaking through and achieving the Immortal King level, if you don’t leave early for the central region, the formation restriction separating the two places will also lead to a regression of the Immortal King cultivation in the Borderlands."

"And once regressed to the Ten-Direction Immortal level, trying to break through to the Immortal King again would be as difficult as ascending to heaven!"

Toward the end, Elder Ancestor’s tone was very solemn, "For this reason, whenever someone from any Sect in the Borderlands achieves the Immortal King status, they almost always choose to leave the Borderlands immediately and head to the central region."

Wyatt realized.

"However..."

Suddenly, as if recalling something, Wyatt looked at Elder Ancestor and asked, "Elder Ancestor, if someone from our Tai Yi Sect becomes an Immortal King... does that mean that this Immortal King can take action to annihilate the Dragon Martial Immortal Sect and the Thousand Spider Immortal Sect before leaving the Borderlands for the central region, making Tai Yi Sect dominant in the Desolate Territory?"

"Impossible!"

Almost as soon as Wyatt Barnes finished speaking, Elder Ancestor Taichi denied his conjecture.

"The rules in the South Heaven’s Borderlands state that once the Ten Directions Immortal Lords at the border break through to become Immortal Kings, they may no longer engage in the border’s power disputes... Otherwise, they will be executed by an envoy from the central territory!"

"That formation which separates the central territory and the borderland not only restricts Immortal Kings from enhancing their cultivation at the border but also monitors them."

"Therefore, Immortal Kings born at the border generally do not dare to partake in power struggles there."

Elder Ancestor Taichi continued speaking.

"Hiss—"

After hearing Elder Ancestor Taichi’s words, Wyatt couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air, clearly shaken by the measures of the titled Immortal Sovereign.

The formation restrictions laid by the titled Immortal Sovereign were terrifying to such an extent?

Not only could it make the Immortal Kings from the border obediently head to the central territory after their breakthrough, but it could also monitor whether they engage in power disputes at the border?

However, Wyatt was unaware at this moment:

In fact, the formation that separates the central territory of the South Heaven’s Borderlands and the borderland wasn’t laid by the titled Immortal Sovereign, but had been set up long before, merely maintained personally by the titled Immortal Sovereign at regular intervals.

That formation existed during the time of the heavenly planes, passed down to this day, its age long unknown.

Back then, the South Heaven’s Borderlands weren’t even called South Heaven’s Borderlands.

...

On the way to the Desolate Domain, to the place where the ’Pill Tao Conference’ was to be held, due to the lengthy journey, Wyatt learned many things he previously didn’t know through conversations with Elder Ancestor Taichi, Hunter Swayer, and others.

For a while, not remembering what else to ask, he refrained from further inquiry, instead immersing himself in the study of Pill Tao and cultivation....

Currently, because his Pill Tao level was on a different tier, exchanging insights with Hunter Swayer and the others held no significance.

Although Hunter Swayer and the others were eager to exchange Pill Tao insights with Wyatt Barnes to advance their Pill Tao level,

they soon realized Wyatt was about to participate in the ’Pill Tao Conference’ and couldn’t squander too much time, so they closed their mouths tightly.

As for Leilany,

soon after departing from the Taichi Sect, Leilany stood aside, immersed in comprehending the Immortal Method and Divine Ability from her inherited memory, occasionally displaying actions, with fierce, sharp auras emanating from her at times.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, two months had passed.

At this point, Wyatt and his group not only entered the Desolate Domain but also arrived at the venue of the ’Pill Tao Conference’.

Though it’s said that the ’Pill Tao Conference’ is jointly organized by the southeastern six domains, in reality, it’s hosted separately, each time by one domain, with the other five supporting.

This time, it was the Desolate Domain’s turn to host.

To be precise, it was jointly hosted by the Desolate Domain’s three great sects.

The Desolate Domain is quite similar to the Desolate Territory.

The three great sects of the Desolate Domain are located in the central region of the domain, each presiding over a vast, bustling city.

However, this ’Pill Tao Conference’ wasn’t held in any of those three cities but in a city located in the heart of a plain in the central area of the Desolate Domain.

The vast city, although not as extensive as the cities under the three great sects of the Desolate Domain, was not much smaller either.

Therefore, overall, the city was still very large.

"This city is called ’Pill Tao City’, specifically built to host the Pill Tao Conference... It’s not only present in the Desolate Domain but also in our Desolate Territory and the other four domains as well. Usually, this city is enveloped by formation restrictions and not open to the public."

Upon arriving outside the small city, Hunter Swayer proceeded to introduce it to Wyatt Barnes.

Among their group, only Wyatt and Leilany had never participated in the ’Pill Tao Conference’.

"In Pill Tao City, aside from accommodations arranged for the major sects of the southeastern six domains, there are dedicated shops for pill medicine and herbs for us... Furthermore, there are accommodations and stalls for pill medicine and herbs specially arranged for loose cultivators and small sects from the southeastern six domains."

"A month before the Pill Tao Conference begins to two months afterward, this Pill Tao City is open to the public... During this time, you can witness the grand event of the Pill Tao Conference firsthand and also purchase herbs and pill medicines, including some rare and high-grade medicines."

"Therefore, every time the Pill Tao Conference is held, Pill Tao City gathers a vast number of people... These people come either to participate in the Pill Tao Conference or just to watch."

...

As Hunter Swayer introduced it to Wyatt Barnes, Wyatt also saw:

A large crowd was arriving from all directions, entering Pill Tao City one by one.

Now, Pill Tao City had just opened.
