"Many years ago, a certain lord discovered a place of cultivation."
"He said that if one day my cultivation reaches the Ninth Rank of True God, and I have the opportunity to step into the Heavenly God realm, I could enter that place and give cultivation there a try."
"That place is where we are going now."
"The Jinchuan Upper Realm of the Divine Body Heavenly River," Long Mucheng narrated.
Hearing this, his gaze shifted. "The Jinchuan Upper Realm?"
"You know about it?" Long Mucheng asked.
"Over a thousand years ago, the Jinchuan Upper Realm was sealed off by the Divine Body Heavenly Domain."
"The reason for the seal was that they discovered ancient ore in the Jinchuan Upper Realm that could be used for cultivation."
"But I heard that the mine caves in the Jinchuan Upper Realm are extremely dangerous. Although they did manage to extract a large number of ancient ore deposits, almost every year a great number of people who enter never return."
"Therefore, even though the Divine Body Heavenly Domain sealed off the Jinchuan Upper Realm, they hired a large number of cultivators to mine the ancient ore, while their own people rarely ventured into the mine pits."
"As for what kind of dangers lurk within those mine caves, that remains an unknown mystery," he said.
"Truly worthy of being an Immortal-level Spirit World Master — you certainly know a great deal," Long Mucheng said with a smile, then turned to Chu Feng.
"Entering the world sealed by the Divine Body Heavenly Domain is not difficult, but what we currently suspect is that deep within this world, ancient races are hidden."
"The danger isn't the Divine Body Heavenly Domain — it's the unknown ancient races."
"For certain reasons in the past, those ancient races were unable to move freely throughout the vast martial cultivation world."
"But now, that restriction has clearly been lifted, so we must exercise caution."
"Because the lord who discovered this place once said that if one day this world were to undergo changes, this place would become very dangerous, and he told me not to set foot here before becoming a Heavenly God."
"From what I can see, the changes have already occurred. But I want to break through to the Heavenly God realm as soon as possible, so I still want to give it a try."
"Then let's give it a try," Chu Feng said.
"Alright," Long Mucheng smiled gracefully. She had long known that Chu Feng would not refuse.
The Divine Body Heavenly Domain valued this place greatly. Not only had they dispatched experts to guard it, but they had also invited the Seven Realms Sacred Palace to seal off this world.
Under normal circumstances, entering this world would be very difficult.
Previously, when Long Mucheng and her companions had tried to enter, they had expended considerable effort.
But things were different now. With two Ninth-rank True Dragon Spirit World Masters present, even the methods of the Seven Realms Sacred Palace could be easily broken.
After all, this was merely a location valued by the Divine Body Heavenly Domain, not their headquarters.
The Jinchuan Upper Realm was vast, but within it there were essentially no settled cultivators.
Aside from the people of the Divine Body Heavenly Domain, the rest were those hired by the Divine Body Heavenly Domain.
Within one immeasurably deep mine pit after another, cultivators moved about like locusts, constantly going back and forth.
But it was clear that the people of the Divine Body Heavenly Domain were only a small minority — the vast majority were people unaffiliated with the Divine Body Heavenly Domain.
"Most of their cultivation levels aren't very high," Chu Feng observed, looking at the hired workers.
"Mining the ancient ore here has nothing to do with cultivation level. And since the Divine Body Heavenly Domain's reputation is formidable and the pay they offer is genuinely tempting, even though many people know there are risks in coming here, there are still plenty who scramble to get in."
"That's to be expected. After all, for cultivators with low cultivation and no background, there is almost no path forward."
"The compensation offered by the Divine Body Heavenly Domain represents a chance to change their fate. Rather than living out a meager existence, they might as well take a gamble," Long Mucheng explained.
Chu Feng could understand this as well.
