Attached at the back are maps and extensive detailed explanations.
"What? There's a door in the underground palace of the Black Wind Divine Palace that connects to a large world?" Dongbeixue Ying was greatly surprised. The map clearly indicated that right in the underground hall where he was cultivating, there was a hidden door connecting to a large extraordinary world. Watching the experiences of the Sea God Palace elder 'Leizhen' for over a thousand years also gave Dongbeixue Ying a better understanding of the world he lived in.
The world of mortals is an extremely stable and perfect material world!
The material world is vast and perfect.
In various parts of the material world, some spatial wrinkles and spatial gaps... have given birth to some imperfect extraordinary worlds. These extraordinary worlds are divided into large and small worlds. Because they are not perfect, these worlds have instead condensed some special treasures! Even the core of the entire world can condense into a physical form, and many precious items needed by the extraordinaries almost all come from these worlds.
Like the mortal world, not even a single source stone can be dug out! What is a source stone? It is a mineral formed by the initial power of the world that nurtures all things. In the mortal world, where the rules are perfectly balanced, all forces are utilized perfectly, and the extraordinaries cannot find any extraordinary items.
However, the rules of these large and small worlds are too simple, and some magical powers directly condense into physical forms, making countless precious 'extraordinary items' that make the extraordinaries go wild!
Therefore, although these worlds are very simple, they are still called 'extraordinary worlds' because there are many extraordinary items!
"How rare are large worlds?" Dongbeixue Ying was surprised. "There's actually one connected here?"
According to Elder Leizhen, there are a total of eight large extraordinary worlds that humans have discovered! Including the one connected to the Black Wind Divine Palace, there are nine in total!
"Each unexplored large world is a great treasure." Dongbeixue Ying was somewhat amazed.
No wonder the old ancestor of Black Wind established his palace here.
Large worlds...
are extremely precious. Once more people know about them, they will inevitably be seized by the most top-tier demigods! The demigods will enter and plunder, obtaining a large amount of extraordinary resources.
"Large worlds are extremely precious." In the appendix, Elder Leizhen warned, "Do not expose them, even to good friends, who might betray you."
Elder Leizhen actually still had hope while in his deathly seclusion.
He still hoped to become a demigod! And he had lived for 1,500 years, with no attachment to the mortal world. He never revealed the secrets of the Black Wind Divine Palace.
...
Dongbeixue Ying closed the book, his eyes filled with contemplation.
"Although large worlds are precious and can make demigods go wild," Dongbeixue Ying thought to himself, "the old ancestor of Black Wind may have already plundered it, and it is too far away from me. After all, I am just a mortal now."
Then, Dongbeixue Ying briefly looked at the other books, and with a wave of his hand, he put away all the items. Only two strange talismans remained in his palm, which were the control talismans for the two extraordinary alchemical creatures, easily refined by his martial qi.
The golden ape and the golden great roc immediately spoke: "Greetings, Master."
"When I leave the Black Wind Divine Palace, I will take you with me," Dongbeixue Ying said.
"Master, we have long wanted to get out," the golden ape said excitedly.
The golden great roc was also full of anticipation.
Dongbeixue Ying smiled slightly: "You two can call each other Monkey and Bird, so I will call you that too."
"Master can call us whatever you want," the two extraordinary alchemical creatures were very obedient. The advantage of alchemical creatures is their absolute loyalty.
"By the way, the Ocean Boundary Stone is in this pond?" Dongbeixue Ying looked at the octagonal pond.
"Yes," the golden great roc said, "The old master was worried that the powerful ones of the Witch God Hall might discover this place, so he set up an array around the pond. If I crush this token, the array will explode, with a power comparable to the old master's full-strength attack, which might kill the enemy. Even if it doesn't kill them, the Ocean Boundary Stone will be completely shattered and destroyed. Moreover, some dangerous places in the Black Wind Divine Palace will also kill the powerful ones of the Witch God Hall."
Dongbeixue Ying nodded.
The Witch God Hall is an organization formed by the extraordinaries of the demon beasts.
Humans and demon beasts have racial enmity. Even if one wants to leave their hard-earned treasures to someone with a karmic connection, they cannot benefit another race!
"Whoosh." Dongbeixue Ying squatted down, cupped some of the spiritual liquid from the pond, and took a sip.
A wave of coolness spread through his body.
Every part of his body, whether muscles, bones, organs, dantian, qi sea, or mind and soul, was slightly nourished. The energy in the spiritual liquid was quickly absorbed, and Dongbeixue Ying's hunger completely disappeared.
"Amazing, I'm not hungry anymore after drinking it," Dongbeixue Ying said with a smile.
"Food is just energy," the golden ape said with a grin. "The spiritual liquid formed from the Ocean Boundary Stone naturally nourishes the body much better than ordinary food. The old master almost drank this spiritual liquid every day, and it played a significant role in his becoming a peak saint-level expert."
Dongbeixue Ying reached into the pond and fished out a strange piece of jade.
This piece of jade was entirely sea blue, with a faint sea blue glow flowing over its surface. This jade, which had absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, was the core of a small world, making one involuntarily want to take a bite. This desire to eat it... is an instinct of life.
"Looking at it makes me want to eat it," Dongbeixue Ying sighed.
"Don't eat it directly, it would be a waste," the golden ape warned. "When placed in water, it will slowly dissolve, and ordinary water will be converted into spiritual liquid. The old master used the spiritual liquid it produced for nearly a thousand years, and it has only dissolved halfway."
"Does it need water?" Dongbeixue Ying frowned. "I don't have any water!"
"The spiritual liquid in this pond will be enough for Master to use for thirty to fifty years," the golden ape said. "After we go out, Master can prepare more water."
Dongbeixue Ying nodded, and with a wave of his hand, the spiritual liquid was moved into the storage treasure. The space inside the storage treasure has no air and no gravity, so items placed inside will not move. The spiritual liquid floated in the middle of the storage space.
Then, Dongbeixue Ying walked towards a crack in the distant wall. The walls of the underground hall were covered with large, fierce-looking cracks.
"According to the map marked by Elder Leizhen, he entered through this crack," Dongbeixue Ying looked at the crack in front of him, which was slightly tilted downwards.
Dongbeixue Ying took a step and walked along the crack.
His body was bathed in flames, which illuminated the dark crack. As he walked, the crack became narrower and narrower. After walking for over ten miles, the crack had become too narrow to proceed.
"Hmm?" Dongbeixue Ying frowned. "Elder Leizhen had to transform into a stream of water to follow the crack all the way to the Black Wind Divine Palace. I am just a mortal now and cannot pass through."
Without a path, should he dig one from the underground?
Clearly, this idea was not feasible.
"According to Elder Leizhen's description, the area around the Black Wind Divine Palace is a huge array! Including the surrounding mountains, land, and vast areas, all are within the array's range! The valley bottom is also within the array's range. Within the array's range, there are many guards patrolling, and their senses are very sensitive."
"Once someone dares to break the ground or dig a tunnel within the array's range, they will be immediately discovered."
"Only by following the existing passages! No destruction at all."
Dongbeixue Ying was somewhat troubled.
Even the extraordinaries cannot take shortcuts, so he had no hope either.
"This crack is narrow and over a thousand miles long..." Dongbeixue Ying shook his head lightly. "Only by becoming an extraordinary can I pass through."
...
Dongbeixue Ying could only return to the vast, ruined hall in frustration. He was now a mortal, and even with the maps of other small areas of the Black Wind Divine Palace, he could not enter.
Looking at the empty hall.
To leave, he could only cultivate to the extraordinary realm!
"Monkey, Bird," Dongbeixue Ying looked at the golden ape and the golden great roc and smiled. "It seems that for a long time, only you two will be my companions."
