Ten years later, in the Upper Realm, stood the Two Realms Great Wall.
The term “Two Realms Great Wall” referred to the boundary between the Upper Realm and the land of chaos.
Crossing the Great Wall meant leaving the Upper Realm and venturing into the chaos-filled expanse.
Due to its unique geographical position, the Three Upper Realm Sects dispatched an Ethereal Stage expert from each sect every five hundred years to guard this place.
The Three Upper Realm Sects held their name not only due to their formidable power but also because they shouldered the responsibility of upholding order in the Upper Realm.
For instance, on the colossal expanse of the Two Realms Great Wall, whether the apex combatants or the core forces, they predominantly consisted of disciples from the Three Upper Realm Sects.
Of course, besides the Spirit Sword Sect, Xuanyang Sect, and Memory Sect, other sects such as the Buddhist Sect’s Small Thunderclap Monastery, as well as some smaller sects and celestial cultivation families, would also send a portion of their disciples to guard this place.
The reason for such a substantial deployment was rooted in the threat posed by various entities within the land of chaos beyond the Two Realms Great Wall.
The Upper Realm generally referred to these beings that emerged from the land of chaos as “Heavenly Devils from Beyond”.
The Outer Dao sword slave Lu Yuan had previously encountered within the Spirit Sword Sect, for instance, could be classified as a type of Heavenly Devil from Beyond.
There was an intrinsic conflict between these Heavenly Devils from Beyond and the regular inhabitants of the Upper Realm.
This stemmed from the fact that the former’s intent wasn’t merely territorial conquest, but rather, a transformation of the Upper Realm to mirror the land of chaos.
To the denizens of the Upper Realm, such a transformation was virtually unacceptable.
This was because no sentient being desired to exist within ceaseless chaos.
The reason why the Three Upper Realm Sects would think of a way to suck it into the heavens of the Upper Realm as soon as possible after discovering a small world in the land of chaos was that they were not afraid of it.
Aside from the benefits such an action would accrue to them, this was also due to the urgency of the matter.
If they failed to act promptly, the Heavenly Devils from Beyond might detect the small world before they did, annihilating it and plunging it back into chaos.
The strength of the Heavenly Devils from Beyond was indeed formidable.
Initially, the Upper Realm had contemplated eradicating the Heavenly Devils from Beyond directly.
Yet, after several futile attempts, they abandoned this notion.
Primarily, only cultivators at the Apotheosis Stage could enter the land of chaos.
While the Upper Realm possessed many Apotheosis Stage cultivators, their ability to be mobilized was limited.
After all, numerous Apotheosis Stage cultivators either served as patriarchs of certain clans or as sect leaders of smaller sects.
Their status inherently constrained their mobility.
Without the substantial aid of small sects and celestial cultivation families, it would be a delusion to believe that the Three Upper Realm Sects alone could exterminate the vast multitude of Heavenly Devils from Beyond.
Over time, the Three Upper Realm Sects reached a silent agreement.
Everyone joined forces to guard the Two Realms Great Wall and left the task of exploring the land of chaos to the Apotheosis Stage cultivators within the sect.
In doing so, they could effectively shield the Upper Realm from invasion by the land of chaos and ensure that the interests of the three sects remained intact.
On this day, the Two Realms Great Wall witnessed another rotation.
This time, it wasn’t just the Ethereal Stage commanders on the Great Wall who were being rotated.
Some disciples who had fulfilled their service requirements were also allowed to return to their respective sects.
Bai Dafei, a member of the Memory Sect team, gazed at the immense Great Wall of the Two Realms before him. The overwhelming impact he felt was beyond words.
This was because the city wall before him was the tallest and most massive one he had ever witnessed in his life.
It could be said that as far as his eyes could see, it was a city wall…
Though he had heard about the existence of the Two Realms Great Wall and its enormity before arriving here, hearing about it and personally witnessing it were entirely different experiences.
Bai Dafei estimated that the height of the Two Realms Great Wall was approximately 30,000 feet.
The city wall soared into the clouds, resembling a colossal natural barrier that completely thwarted any attempts by the Heavenly Devil from Beyond from the land of chaos to infiltrate the Upper Realm.
Upon ascending the city wall alongside a sect elder, Bai Dafei discerned numerous details that had previously escaped his notice.
For instance, he had previously assumed that the black color of the Two Realms Great Wall stemmed from the usage of black stone for its construction.
However, the actual truth differed. The black hue on the city wall was an irregular shade of darkness resulting from the dried remnants of blood.
Yet, due to the sheer expanse of the wall and the multitude of instances, this detail wasn’t evident from a distance, leading to the misconception that the entire wall was uniformly black.
Only upon closer inspection could these distinctions be discerned.
Even though the blood that had once stained these walls had long since dried, Bai Dafei still caught a whiff of an indescribable blood stench the moment he stepped onto the city wall.
This caused his complexion to pale. He couldn’t fathom the extent of the brutal battles that had transpired here.
Had it not been for the countless liters of blood that had soaked into the stone, the city walls wouldn’t have emitted such a potent scent of blood.
Bai Dafei wasn’t the only one wearing such a contemplative expression.
In truth, the disciples who found themselves at this location were either individuals motivated by great righteousness or those whom the sect had identified as potential talents to be nurtured.
After all, a greenhouse couldn’t cultivate flowers that hadn’t weathered a thousand storms.
Despite the perpetual warfare that the Two Realms Great Wall witnessed, anyone who managed to survive here for a decade would invariably return as a standout figure among their peers.
After all, they had emerged from a battlefield where mountains of corpses and rivers of blood were the norm..
