The Demon with Holy Radiance

’This is the Xian Origin Land. How could it possibly correspond to the Outer Continent? This place isn’t reality.’

"Have you heard of the Treasure Temple Domain?"

But he couldn’t help but ask.

"I have not."

The figure replied.

’Just as I expected.’

"Then according to you, this place is the Western Domain. Does that mean there are also the other three domains: East, North, and South?"

"You are correct, but there are five domains in total. In addition to those, there is also the Central Domain."

"Hm?"

Hearing the figure’s reply, Yang An was stunned.

’Just a moment ago, I thought the Xian Origin Land couldn’t possibly correspond to reality, but now it suddenly seems like it can.’

’The Four Outer Domains plus the Central Continent...’

Yang An seemed to sense something, and his breathing inexplicably quickened.

"The Western Domain! Is the greatest power here called the Great Virtue Temple? Or the Golden Thread Pavilion?"

"Great Virtue Temple? Golden Thread Pavilion? I have never heard of them."

To Yang An’s disappointment, the figure flatly denied it, having never heard the names of those two powers.

But the figure’s very next words sent a tremor through Yang An’s entire body.

"The greatest power in the Western Domain is one of the Five Great Celestial Sects, the Miaohua Celestial Sect!"

’The Five Great Celestial Sects?!!’

’The Miaohua Celestial Sect?!!’

Hearing this familiar name, it was as if a bolt of lightning flashed through Yang An’s mind. A certain premonition in his heart grew ever stronger.

’Could it be...’

"What are the names of the other Four Great Celestial Sects?"

"The Eastern Domain has the Divine Sun Celestial Sect, the Southern Domain has the Southern Dipper Celestial Sect, the Northern Domain has the Jiuli Celestial Sect, and the Central Domain has the Holy Land Earth Immortal Dao Sect!"

As one familiar Celestial Sect name after another came from that voice, Yang An’s Heart began to beat violently in the Bow Lady’s hands, growing somewhat uncontrollable. The figures before his eyes blurred once more.

’Not good!’

Seeing those figures suddenly blur due to the state of his own mind, the Bow Lady tried her best to suppress the pain in Yang An’s Heart, but she was a step too late.

The figures seized the opportunity, easily breaking free from the restraints of the Dark Communication Secret Spell and vanishing in an instant.

By the time Yang An’s frequency of consciousness stabilized and he returned to the previous scene, the figures had disappeared without a trace.

’Damn it!’

’I had just obtained such crucial information, and now they’ve escaped. There’s no way to track them.’

But Yang An couldn’t be bothered with that right now. If they ran, they ran.

The most important thing was the information he had just learned; the sheer volume of what it implied was immense.

This place also had the Four Domains and a Central Domain, and the greatest powers were the Five Great Celestial Sects.

’Those were ancient Sects that existed only in legend, confined to the sealed Central Continent.’

’So is this place the Central Continent?’

’No!’

’If this were the Central Continent, how could there also be a Central Domain?’

Based on the distribution of the Five Great Celestial Sects, each Celestial Sect corresponded to one of the Four Outer Domains of reality, ruling over those regions. The Central Domain, in turn, corresponded to the Central Continent. It was also a Holy Land, ruled by one of the Five Great Celestial Sects, the Earth Immortal Dao Sect.

’Five Domains... Five Great Celestial Sects... Four Outer Domains... Central Continent...’

A flash of insight struck Yang An, and he suddenly recalled a question he had idly pondered before.

According to what Fu Ming had said before.

The Xian Origin Land corresponded to the Yang Side of the Origin Realm, while the Immortal Origin Land corresponded to its yin side.

The Yang Side had already separated from the Origin Realm. In reality, only the yin side still coexisted with the Origin Realm.

’Could it be that the current Xian Origin Land is actually the world of the Yang Side *before* it separated from the Origin Realm?’

’In other words, because it separated from the Origin Realm, the timeline of the Xian Origin Land has remained unchanged. Is that why it’s still in the era when the Five Great Celestial Sects existed?’

’This must be the time before the Central Continent and the Outer Continent were split apart!’

Yang An had heard information about the Central Continent and the Outer Continent before.

According to legend, long, long ago, the Forbidden Sea appeared, and the Origin Realm was fractured. The Central Continent was isolated from the Outer Continent. With the Central Continent sealed, the Five Great Celestial Sects also went into seclusion, and the Outer Continent was split into the Four Domains.

These rumors he’d heard in the past suddenly began to align with the information he had just received.

This discovery left Yang An so shocked he was at a loss for words.

’If my guess is right, then in the place where I am now, the Five Great Celestial Sects still exist, the Central Continent and Outer Continent haven’t been split, and the Forbidden Sea has yet to form... though they might not be the exact same Five Great Celestial Sects from reality...’

"I understand! I understand!"

Yang An muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming ever brighter. But with the fluctuations in his emotions, his consciousness started to become unstable again. The world before him began to blur, and it seemed as if this world itself was growing more and more unstable.

Yang An hurriedly stabilized his emotions, forcing himself to calm down.

’Does Fu Ming know about this astonishing secret?’

He suddenly thought of this question.

’Fu Ming never mentioned this before. Could it be that he doesn’t know? Or was he deliberately hiding it?’

At the same time, even more questions flooded Yang An’s mind.

’I discovered this information in Lower Hu. So what about the other levels of the Xian Origin Land, like Mirror-Self, Cang Zhuo, and True Illusion?’

’These different levels of the world require different degrees of pain and frequencies of consciousness to enter. What does that represent?’

’And why could I still see Fu Ming when I was in True Illusion, but after coming to Lower Hu, there’s only a single clue he might have left behind?’

Although he had obtained very important information, Yang An was still unable to clear the fog and solve these mysteries.

’No! I still need to find someone and ask!’

He made the decision at once.

He had originally entered this place to find and comprehend a Xianyuan Forbidden Artifact suitable for him, but now that he had this information, Yang An suddenly felt it was far more important.
