Nine Realms Sword Emperor

With the current strength of Chu Fengmian, by fully concealing his presence, even a powerful Immortal General would find it difficult to discern Chu Fengmian’s identity.

What’s more, Chu Fengmian has now transcended the reverse celestial tribulation, his body infused with Tai Chu energy, becoming an extraordinary species of heaven and earth, a truly unique existence.

Originally, if two powerful Immortal Generals combined their efforts, there might still be a slight chance of deducing Chu Fengmian’s form.

But now that Chu Fengmian has become a unique species of heaven and earth, not to mention two powerful Immortal Generals, even if twenty joined forces, they couldn’t detect Chu Fengmian’s form.

Although Chu Fengmian isn’t concerned about exposing his identity, he must be cautious dealing with these two Immortal Generals, Gui Wu and Heavenly Saint Sword Emperor.

Now that these two are in the open, while Chu Fengmian is hidden, he has the opportunity to devise a plan against them.

In Chu Fengmian’s mind, he had already considered some plans, which is why he deliberately spared Master Xia’s life, as he plays an indispensable role in the plan.

"What is your name, and what is your identity?"

Chu Fengmian asked the elderly Heavenly Human Realm man.

"Answering the master, my real name is Mo Fu, known as Ancestral Fragment, originally from the Blue Wave Star Domain, the original master there. Later, I came to the Nine Domains and joined the Baijue Starfield Alliance, where I am a third-level elder."

The elderly man, Ancestral Fragment, replied respectfully.

"Oh? A third-level elder?"

Hearing this title, Chu Fengmian was a bit surprised and immediately asked.

"Are there different levels among the elders in the Baijue Starfield Alliance?"

Chu Fengmian only knew that in the Baijue Starfield Alliance, all Martial Artists and divine beasts who entered the Heavenly Human Realm were called elders. He didn’t expect different levels among the elders.

"Yes, the elders in the Baijue Starfield Alliance are divided into three levels: first, second, and third. The first level is the highest, usually reserved only for powerful Immortal Generals. The opponents the master must deal with, Gui Wu and Heavenly Saint Sword Emperor, are both first-level elders."

"As for the second-level elders, only strong ones of the Immortal Scholar Realm qualify."

"Martial Artists and divine beasts of the Immortal Realm are called third-level elders. Generally speaking, only first-level elders are considered true higher-ups of the Baijue Starfield Alliance, eligible to participate in decision-making on various matters. Second and third-level elders do not have this privilege."

Ancestral Fragment explained in detail.

The levels within the Immortal Realm are distinct; for instance, the Immortal Realm is just the initial step toward becoming an Immortal, qualifying one as simply an Immortal.

The higher Immortal Scholar Realm is akin to the class of gentry.

Immortal Generals are considered minor figures of the Heavenly Realm.

The higher positions, Immortal Lords and Immortal Kings, are akin to dominant rulers.

And the highest rank, Immortal Emperor, is the emperor of immortals, esteemed and lofty.

In smaller forces, distinctions might not be as clear, but in the Baijue Starfield Alliance, where there are over a hundred Martial Artists and divine beasts of the Heavenly Human Realm, naturally, positions must be distinguished.

Like Ancestral Fragment, a third-level elder, he belongs to the lowest rank among elders in the Baijue Starfield Alliance, while Gui Wu and Heavenly Saint Sword Emperor, as first-level elders, are considered true higher-ups within the alliance.

Even among countless Martial Artists and divine beasts of the Heavenly Human Realm, they hold an extremely high position.

"Are there any stronger than the Xuan Heavenly Realm in the Baijue Starfield Alliance?"

Chu Fengmian asked the most crucial question.

With his current strength, facing even powerful Immortal Generals poses no threat. Although he might not be able to kill them, escaping unscathed would be effortless.

However, those of the Xuan Heavenly Realm are entirely different; even the first stage, the realm of Immortal Lords, is vastly more terrifying than Immortal Generals.

Chu Fengmian once felt the aura of an Immortal Lord within the mysterious whale hideaway, and even just the aura left a deep impression upon him, showcasing a power completely different from Immortal Generals.

Although capturing Master Xia and killing Elder Ouyang are not significant events for the Baijue Starfield Alliance, as Master Xia’s father, Gui Wu, despite being half-step Heavenly Human Realm, is still just a Martial Artist.

While Gui Wu may rage, the higher-ups of the Baijue Starfield Alliance likely wouldn’t be concerned with such matters.

Elder Ouyang as well, being merely a third-level elder with low status among the Baijue Starfield Alliance’s elders, his death would hardly be a concern, given his lack of background or retaliation.

However, now, Chu Fengmian must contend with Gui Wu and the Heavenly Saint Sword Emperor, both powerful Immortal Generals, first-level elders of the Baijue Starfield Alliance, with high status amongst the true higher-ups.

Slaying the two might provoke the Baijue Starfield Alliance into action, though it’s mere speculation, Chu Fengmian cannot dismiss the risk.

"Whether there are stronger than the Xuan Heavenly Realm, I do not know. Such powerful beings, if they exist, only first-level elders have the privilege of contacting them."

Ancestral Fragment shook his head, indicating his ignorance.

Chu Fengmian asked some questions about the Baijue Starfield Alliance to Ancestral Fragment. Though some secrets were beyond him, he knew most other affairs.

Gradually, Chu Fengmian came to understand the situation of the Baijue Starfield Alliance.

After concluding the inquiries, Chu Fengmian sat upon the throne and suddenly opened the empty ring of the small world.

Upon opening Master Xia’s empty ring, Chu Fengmian immediately noticed an ancient map, taking it into his palm and studying it meticulously.

This ancient map radiated a refined immortal power that was apparent at first glance.

"Is this the map of the small world?"

The engraving of the map seems to be on the skin of an immortal beast of unknown kind, with a noticeable immortal power, signifying the skin comes from a beast above the Immortal General level.

Carved with the skin of an immortal beast, this ancient map is guaranteed to endure for thousands of years. Though Chu Fengmian cannot trace its origins, the map indeed contains a virtual coordinate.

This virtual coordinate likely marks the entrance to that particular small world.

Surrounding the Nine Domains are countless small worlds, each with an entry point that may manifest within the Nine Domains or be hidden within the void.

The area around the Nine Domains supposedly has thousands of small worlds.
