“Brother Dongbo, our Moshan Universe treats foreign powerhouses with equality and without discrimination,” Prince Jiao Yunliu said with a smile. “Do you know why?”
“Oh?” Dongbo Xueying listened intently.
“It’s the decree of our Progenitor. None of us, his bloodline descendants, dare to disobey,” Jiao Yunliu lowered his voice. “You must have heard that our bloodline cultivation system… is because all living beings in our universe originate from the same Progenitor. He possesses unimaginable, invincible power. When this cosmic epoch ends and we leave this universe, we will all gather under his banner.”
Dongbo Xueying, who had been sipping wine leisurely, paused at this revelation.
“Let me share a secret with you.”
Jiao Yunliu’s voice dropped even lower. “Our Progenitor resides in the Seven Star Sea Sacred Realm. The Seven Star Sea Sacred Realm was jointly created by our Progenitor and another being of equal stature!”
Dongbo Xueying’s pupils contracted, his heart shaken.
The Seven Star Sea Sacred Realm?
That was…
The very place where Patriarch Tianyu and the master of the Heart Lake Island resided. The cultivators from his own universe were also destined to seek refuge there under the Patriarch’s protection.
The Seven Star Sea Sacred Realm was actually created by the Progenitor of the Moshan Universe and another being?
“In the Seven Star Sea Sacred Realm, our Progenitor holds an extremely high status,” Prince Jiao Yunliu continued. “Countless beings are willing to pledge allegiance to him, and he treats all life from other universes equally. So, Brother Dongbo… with your strength, even if your homeland lacks Void Gods, our Moshan Universe has them! You can bring your people and journey with us to the Seven Star Sea Sacred Realm. However, the time flow in our universe is much faster. By the time one cosmic epoch ends here, other universes may have only experienced a fraction of that time.”
“Hmm,” Dongbo Xueying nodded. “The difference in time flow is indeed vast.”
“Hahaha… It’s also because our Progenitor wishes to nurture as many powerful descendants as possible,” Prince Jiao Yunliu explained.
Dongbo Xueying silently marveled.
This Moshan Universe truly had a formidable backer! In the future, when he reached the domain of Patriarch Tianyu and the master of the Heart Lake Island, he would share the same sacred realm with the powerhouses of the Moshan Universe. It was indeed wise to foster good relations—who knew if their faction might even surpass Patriarch Tianyu’s influence?
“Our Moshan Universe easily connects with other universes, forming cosmic passageways,” Prince Jiao Yunliu said. “This allows different cultivation systems to collide, which greatly aids our own cultivation.”
“However…”
“The collision of different systems results in a time flow far exceeding that of other universes. Beyond this, our Progenitor also left behind the ‘Progenitor Moshan,'” Prince Jiao Yunliu added.
“Here it comes.”
Dongbo Xueying’s heart stirred.
Even without the threat of the Red Demon Divine Emperor, his original plan had been to reveal his true strength only after reaching the ninth or even tenth layer of the *Traveler’s Secret Code*. But now, revealing it earlier wasn’t a problem. Combined with his mastery of the Dao of Rules and Mysteries, he had some confidence.
Coming to the Moshan Universe, aside from the 3,000-fold time acceleration for cultivation, another crucial reason was the legendary ‘Progenitor Moshan.’
From conversations with the guards… he had naturally heard of the mythical Progenitor Moshan.
Dongbo Xueying had long discussed it with his master, the Bloodblade Divine Emperor, and had already set his sights on the Progenitor Moshan.
“The Progenitor Moshan, left by our Progenitor, is an extraordinary cultivation ground,” Jiao Yunliu explained. “Cultivating there accelerates one’s growth tremendously. You’ll understand once you go—I’ve never experienced it myself.”
As he spoke, a deep longing flashed in Jiao Yunliu’s eyes.
Even as the son of a Void God, he yearned for the Progenitor Moshan. But the Progenitor’s rules were absolute, and none dared to defy them.
“The Progenitor Moshan is incredibly mystical. Only those who enter truly understand its wonders.”
“It is divided into the core layer, the inner layer, and the outer layer.”
“The Progenitor decreed… only the strongest Dominators and those who have reached the Void God realm may enter the core layer,” Prince Jiao Yunliu said. “Only one Dominator can go there—the strongest one. My chances in this lifetime are slim.”
“The inner layer has nine formation hubs, each with a cave abode that only one person may enter. The Progenitor’s rule is that the strongest Revered One and eight Dominators may enter the inner layer.”
“The outer layer has thirty-two formation bases, with thirty-two cave abodes! The Progenitor’s command is that thirty Dominators and two Revered Ones may enter.”
Jiao Yunliu sighed helplessly. “Thus, the entire Progenitor Moshan… can accommodate at most thirty-nine Dominators, three Revered Ones, and the Void Gods.”
“And our Moshan Universe alone has over two hundred Dominators. Add those from other universes, and there are more than a hundred more. How difficult is it to rank among the top thirty-nine?” Jiao Yunliu shook his head.
Dongbo Xueying sighed inwardly.
It was indeed difficult.
With over three hundred Dominators across the Moshan Universe and others, the odds of entering the Progenitor Moshan were roughly one in ten.
“How many Revered Ones are there?” Dongbo Xueying asked.
“Our Moshan Universe has over a thousand Revered Ones, and other universes add several hundred more. Yet only three can enter,” Jiao Yunliu lamented. “Of these three, two are foreigners, and only one is from our Moshan Universe.”
Jiao Yunliu’s eyes brightened as he looked at Dongbo Xueying. “Brother Dongbo, the reason I’m telling you this is that even among these three Revered Ones in the Progenitor Moshan—who are already terrifyingly powerful—only the top two have ever defeated Dominators. The third can only fight them to a standstill.”
“You defeated the Red Demon Divine Emperor,” Jiao Yunliu pressed on. “Though he isn’t among the most formidable Divine Emperors and isn’t qualified to enter the Progenitor Moshan, he’s no pushover either. Your victory over him means you have a real chance to challenge the Revered Ones within the Progenitor Moshan.”
“Once you enter the Progenitor Moshan… ah, I dream of going there. For every cultivator in our Moshan Universe, the greatest honor is to step into the Progenitor Moshan!”
Dongbo Xueying nodded.
Entering the Progenitor Moshan wouldn’t be easy. With three Revered Ones already inside, he would have to defeat and displace one.
And remember…
Two of those three have records of defeating Dominators.
Take, for example, Qing Jun and Pang Yi from the cultivator’s universe. Qing Jun, as a Revered One, had never defeated a Dominator—at best, he could fight them evenly. As for Pang Yi, though he defeated a Dominator as a Revered One, that Dominator was the Bloodblade Dominator, who had been hiding his strength.
This showed just how difficult it was for a Revered One to defeat a Dominator.
These three Revered Ones were the most exceptional among countless Revered Ones from the Moshan Universe and others—all having studied multiple cultivation systems and rigorously selected. Moreover, they had cultivated within the Progenitor Moshan for extended periods, making their depths unfathomable! Dongbo Xueying wasn’t entirely confident. His original plan had been to wait until his *Traveler’s Secret Code* advanced further, but the Red Demon Divine Emperor’s appearance forced his hand.
“I’ll give it a try.”
“Even if I fail, I can attempt again later.” Dongbo Xueying had no intention of retreating. With the war in his homeland potentially erupting at any moment, entering the Progenitor Moshan sooner was better.
Prince Jiao Yunliu shared a few more tidbits, though his knowledge was limited—after all, he was far from qualifying for the Progenitor Moshan himself.
“Well, that’s all I know, Brother Dongbo. I won’t keep you any longer—I must hurry off to cultivate,” Prince Jiao Yunliu rose, sighing. “This time, it was you who protected the Black Demon Sacred Fruit for me. I owe you a great debt.”
“Protecting you was my duty,” Dongbo Xueying also stood.
“No, no. Had you betrayed me or seized the Black Demon Sacred Fruit, I would have been powerless,” Prince Jiao Yunliu insisted. “I won’t forget this favor. Now, I must go into seclusion.”
“Go ahead, don’t mind me,” Dongbo Xueying smiled, knowing the prince had been eager to begin his cultivation.
With a final grin, Jiao Yunliu departed to commence his closed-door training.
Dongbo Xueying’s gaze sharpened as he murmured, “Progenitor Moshan…”
—
In the small courtyard of the Bloodblade Divine Court in the cultivator’s universe, a white-robed youth appeared—an avatar of Dongbo Xueying.
“Master,” Dongbo Xueying addressed the approaching Bloodblade Divine Emperor.
“Xueying?” the Divine Emperor inquired. “Any news?”
“I may soon enter the Progenitor Moshan,” Dongbo Xueying reported. “I will do my utmost to fulfill your requests. Do you have any further instructions?”
