The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1584 - 1585: Open Heaven Continent

On the Secular Continent, you can live a life without martial training. However, in the Immortal Realm Continent, without martial training, you will be eliminated in a mere three thousand years. Those with weak cultivation are executed, while those with strong cultivation are exiled to remote mining continents to become miners.

Although direct execution seems cruel, it has become a rule. Not only on the Open Heaven Continent but also on other continents of the Ninth Realm. The weak are destined to be eliminated, and only those who cultivate to the Immortal Position Realm can be considered as having passed through this elimination phase.

Due to this, many Loose Cultivators are discarded Martial Artists who fled to avoid execution. Someone like Ye Mo, who is without any background, can only find protection and acknowledgment by joining an academy.

"Young Master, once we reach the Open Heaven Continent, I will take you to Immortal Spirit City. A month later, the Immortal Martial Academy will come to Immortal Spirit City to recruit. At that time, you can register. Since I currently bear crimes, I need to go to the Zongren House to absolve my sins. Otherwise, even as a Martial Artist in the Immortal Class Realm, I would have great trouble on the Open Heaven Continent."

Star Cloud spoke lightly.

"Alright!"

Ye Mo nodded slightly. During the flight, Ye Mo learned quite a lot about the Open Heaven Continent. This Open Heaven Continent is ruled by dynasties, and those who establish a dynasty must be extraordinarily powerful experts.

The Zongren House is the law enforcement organization of the Fengling Dynasty, similar to the Law Enforcement Hall of a clan, where all those who commit major crimes within the Fengling Dynasty are interrogated.

Moreover, the Emperor of the Fengling Dynasty is said to be a woman, with means as vast as the sky and incomparably formidable strength, ruling the Fengling Dynasty for a million years.

The Immortal Spirit City mentioned by Star Cloud is a city within the Fengling Dynasty.

However, though the Fengling Dynasty is powerful, it cannot oversee the Four Great Academies. The Immortal Martial Academy is the strongest among them, with the Immortal Dao Academy being the weakest. Generally speaking, the Open Heaven Continent can be summarized with six words.

Three Dynasties, Four Academies!

"Young Master, we are almost there!"

At this moment, Star Cloud suddenly tore the air with her jade hand, creating a massive rift before her. Ye Mo could distinctly feel a powerful energy emanating from the rift. With Star Cloud’s jade hand, she dragged Ye Mo’s body directly into the rift.

Ye Mo suddenly felt a blur before his eyes and in an instant saw an entirely new world.

The sky was infinitely vast, nurturing a faint crimson Immortal Qi. Beneath them were twisting, snaking mountain ranges, and countless colossal cities that seemed minuscule from a glance, yet Ye Mo knew he was at least ten thousand feet above the ground.

Ye Mo took a deep breath of Immortal Qi, immediately feeling a powerful energy flooding into his body, causing his Energy Center to churn. Immortal Qi was fundamentally different from the Yuan Chi of Heaven and Earth. The old saying that a single breath of Immortal Qi could achieve immortality was somewhat exaggerated but also enough to illustrate the formidable nature of Immortal Qi.

"Young Master, how do you find this place?"

Star Cloud smiled and asked.

"The cultivation environment is far superior to the secular world!"

Ye Mo exclaimed in amazement. This environment was truly a gift bestowed by heaven, living here would accelerate cultivation speed by millions of times.

However, growing up in such an environment, the martial path faces significant bottlenecks in the initial stages. Later on, once the bottleneck hits, it’s almost impossible to break through.

Star Cloud laughed as well: "The better the cultivation environment, the better it is for those talented individuals. Even when bottlenecks appear later on, they will not be able to stop their progress. But those with low talent, who lack the tempering of early bottlenecks, when faced with bottlenecks later on, are unable to progress. After three thousand years, they cannot break through to the Immortal Position Realm and are destined to be eliminated."

As they spoke, Star Cloud took Ye Mo flying in a direction, when Ye Mo noticed the resistance of this space was far stronger than the Secular Continent.

"Immortal-Slaying Thunderfire Fist!"

Ye Mo stopped, punched out into the air, and a terrifying fist force burst forth, only creating a ripple of thunder and fire in space.

"Young Master, the strength of the Immortal Realm Dimension is a hundred times that of the Secular Continent. With your punch, you can create ripples, your strength already rivals a Middle-Ranked Immortal. Ordinary Lower-Ranked Immortals, when they punch out, won’t cause any reaction at all."

Star Cloud noticed Ye Mo’s strength, smiling slightly. Ye Mo’s growing strength eased her worry. Although she was the Defiance Guardian, tasked with protecting the Defier of Fate, her mission was not just to protect the Defier of Fate, but also to help Ye Mo awaken the abilities of a Defier of Fate.

"Indeed much stronger, it seems to break the space, one must cultivate to the Immortal Class Realm."

Ye Mo marveled. In his view, only with the strength of the Immortal Class Realm could one break the space.

"Even the Immortal Class Realm cannot break the space. Those capable of breaking the space are well-known powerful figures on the Open Heaven Continent. But Star Cloud will soon be able to achieve that."

Star Cloud said with a smile, implying she will soon make another breakthrough.

After flying for about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, Star Cloud pointed to the sky, indicating Ye Mo to look.

The sea of clouds parted, revealing a magnificent city before Ye Mo. This city entirely floated in the air, beneath which were countless Immortal mountains, Immortal islands, boundless clouds almost enveloping the vast city.

At this moment, Ye Mo truly witnessed what is called a genuine Immortal city, a city floating directly in the air. What kind of powerful means must one possess to suspend such a colossal city in the sky?

Moreover, when Ye Mo used his will to explore, he couldn’t detect its boundary. Coming to the Immortal Realm, though the space was stronger, his will remained unaffected. Ye Mo’s will could envelop the whole of Tianwu Kingdom, but he couldn’t probe the borders of this city.

Only now did Ye Mo truly understand that compared to the Lingwu Continent, the Open Heaven Continent was like comparing a chicken to a university.

"So overwhelming!"

Ye Mo couldn’t help but exclaim.

"Young Master, these aerial Immortal cities are everywhere. They are all a demonstration of the City Lords’ prowess. But once Young Master awakens the abilities of a Defier of Fate, those City Lords will be like nothing before you."

Star Cloud said, descending with Ye Mo onto the sea of clouds, moving slowly towards Immortal Spirit City.

The entrance of the city was guarded by two giants, each ten feet tall, appearing intimidating. However, their strength was merely that of Lower-Ranked Immortals. Star Cloud handed them some Immortal Stones, gaining unimpeded entry into Immortal Spirit City.

Upon entering Immortal Spirit City, Ye Mo instantly sensed a flood of powerful auras. Almost all were strong individuals of the Immortal Position Realm, even shopkeepers on the streets emitted formidable auras that exerted tremendous pressure on him.

"Even the shopkeepers are strong individuals of the Immortal Position Realm!"

Ye Mo swallowed hard.

"Young Master, don’t underestimate them. They are all Martial Artists who achieved the Immortal Position Realm within three thousand years, and whose cultivation couldn’t advance further, so they opened shops in Immortal Spirit City."

Star Cloud explained.

Indeed, the Open Heaven Continent presented Ye Mo with new understandings. Arriving in Immortal Spirit City, he was entirely a newcomer, the weakest existence. Yet this also ignited Ye Mo’s fighting spirit, hadn’t he overcome similar circumstances in the past?

If he can’t adapt here, how can he become the man of the Holy Soul Enchantress?
