Chapter 6: The Magic World and the Combat Energy World

The Immortal Realm, Jin Xuan Star.
Since attaining the rank of Upper Heaven Soul Immortal, Bai Man had resided on Jin Xuan Star, living in what would later become the headquarters of the Jin Xuan Alliance.
Bai Qu Palace was where Bai Man currently lived—it symbolized the dwelling place of both Bai Man and Qu Yi.
At that moment, Bai Man sat alone in the highest room of Bai Qu Palace, gazing at the starry sky. Her eyes reflected only longing—sometimes sweet, sometimes angry, sometimes melancholic.
Qu Yi had gone to the Divine Realm. Each of his missions lasted millions of years, leaving him too little time with Bai Man, which left her helpless and filled with various emotions.
“This time, it’s already hundreds of millions of years, and he still hasn’t returned. What have you been doing in the Divine Realm, Qu Yi?” Bai Man suddenly stood up in anger, shouting in frustration.
Previously, although Qu Yi returned to the Immortal Realm less often, he would at least return once every hundred thousand years, which Bai Man could understand—after all, cultivators often entered seclusion for tens of thousands or even millions of years. But not returning for hundreds of millions of years was beyond her comprehension.
Was there another woman?
The thought flashed through Bai Man’s mind as she sat down helplessly. Her phoenix-like eyes burned with anger, her willow-like brows furrowed—clearly, the more she thought about it, the more convinced she became.
Suddenly, Qu Yi’s figure appeared in the room.
“Who?!”
Bai Man was highly alert. As she stood up, she thrust a golden long sword forward. Upon seeing Qu Yi’s figure, she threw the sword aside and punched him with both fists.
Without stopping, Bai Man kept punching Qu Yi’s chest like a drum.
Qu Yi endured it with a smile. Although Bai Man had reached the rank of Upper Heaven Soul Immortal, her full-force punches left no trace on him—his physical strength was beyond description.
It lasted all day.
“Bai Man, your anger is so intense. I’m back now, aren’t I?” Qu Yi couldn’t help but smile bitterly as he saw that she wouldn’t stop, so he spoke up.
Seeing Qu Yi’s smiling face, Bai Man punched him once more before throwing herself into his arms. Her face, glowing with happiness, showed only contentment.
Qu Yi picked up Bai Man and laid her on the fragrant jade bed, and the two became affectionate.
Afterward, Qu Yi rested his arm under Bai Man’s head, while she turned her head to gaze at him intently, her delicate face always smiling.

“Bai Man, you’ve worked hard over these years. I can now sense a tremendous force of faith in the Immortal Realm, rushing toward us,” Qu Yi said with a smile, gently touching Bai Man’s face.

The cultivation realm, the spirit cultivation realm, the Immortal Realm, the Demon Realm, the Monster Realm, and the Spirit World—all have now been conquered by Qu Yi. The power of the Three Tripod Sect spreads across these six realms, and all cultivators must worship Qu Yi. After hundreds of millions of years of development, the cultivators in these six realms now worship Qu Yi from the depths of their souls.

Qu Yi had always sensed the power of faith since he was in the Divine Realm, and it became even clearer after arriving in the Immortal Realm. He could perceive the spatial insights of countless cultivators, which provided him with another way to accelerate his understanding of spatial rules, in addition to the spatial changes in the Realm-Sizing Sphere.

However, Qu Yi now felt that the greatest benefit of this power of faith was no longer in aiding his cultivation but rather related to the integrated spiritual entity within him. It seemed that when he reached the Divine King stage in the future, this power of faith would be exactly what his evolved spiritual entity needed most.

Hearing Qu Yi’s praise, Bai Man smiled satisfactorily, looking proud and filled with pride.

“Qu Yi, can’t we ascend to the Divine Realm yet?” Bai Man suddenly asked, appearing very concerned, her eyes brimming with anticipation for an answer.

Currently, there were hundreds of millions of cultivators in the Immortal Realm, Demon Realm, Monster Realm, and Spirit World who had reached the highest levels of cultivation. They were all capable of passing through the Divine Tribulation to ascend to the Divine Realm, but they hadn’t chosen to do so yet, waiting for Qu Yi’s orders.

“No!” Qu Yi replied firmly.

All four realms were at the primal level, and the places for ascension were all located near Fei City. Qu Yi didn’t want the Yan Clan to know about his secrets in the lower realms. Moreover, he had learned from the Artifact God that the latter had created the Boundless Star Constellation. Shortly after this news spread, the Divine Kings of the Ze Dui Divine Realm and the Tian Qian Divine Realm jointly attacked him. It was likely related to a Divine Emperor who had ascended from the lower realms to the Divine Realm. Perhaps fearing that the Artifact God might also have crossed over to the lower realms and discover some of this Divine Emperor’s secrets, the Divine Emperor took action to persecute the Artifact God.

Given the Artifact God’s former status in the Divine Realm, where he could create innate spiritual treasures and many Divine Kings relied on him, how could any Divine King turn against him? And when the Divine Kings of the Tian Qian Divine Realm and the Ze Dui Divine Realm jointly attacked the Artifact God, the other Divine Kings in the Divine Realm chose to stand by—this clearly indicated the influence of a Divine Emperor behind the scenes.

Therefore, Qu Yi accepted this speculation and dared not allow cultivators from the Immortal Realm, Demon Realm, Fiend Realm, and Spirit Realm to ascend to the Divine Realm. If news of his possession of faith power spread, it might attract the attention of the Divine Emperor. With his current strength, he couldn’t confront the Divine Emperor, nor did he want to incur such a major trouble. Hearing Qu Yi’s words, Bai Man realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately stopped asking questions. “Don’t worry. It won’t be long before I allow you to ascend to the Divine Realm,” Qu Yi said with a slight smile upon seeing Bai Man’s expression, trying to reassure her. Bai Man nodded, gently leaned against Qu Yi, and fell into a peaceful sleep. Watching Bai Man sleep so contentedly, Qu Yi felt guilty—she had endured so much alone over the years. Now that she could sleep so soundly, it showed just how worried she must have been before. He kissed her and also took a short rest alongside her.
※※※
A year passed in sleep. Qu Yi and Bai Man were on the highest floor of the Bai Qu Palace, embracing each other as they gazed at the starry sky. “Bai Man, I’ve obtained two more spatial coordinates of cultivation realms. Could you do me a favor and help me conquer these two realms?” Qu Yi said with a smile, holding her waist tightly. Back in the cultivation world, Qu Yi had scattered Star Boats everywhere and sent Soul Compasses to other cultivation realms. Now that he had obtained two more spatial coordinates, he naturally wanted to conquer these realms to gain more faith power. Feeling Qu Yi’s immense strength, Bai Man blushed before saying cheerfully, “Sure! I’ve had nothing to do these past years and it’s been quite boring. I’m already familiar with conquering a cultivation realm, so I’ll definitely do it well for you.” Qu Yi bent down to kiss her forehead, adjusted her position, and looked into her eyes tenderly, saying, “Bai Man, it won’t take long. I’ll surely let you and Han Xin ascend to the Divine Realm.” Tears welled in Bai Man’s eyes as she nodded softly. After making plans, Qu Yi met with a few of his closest people inside the Bai Qu Palace. Qu Han Xin, Mu Han, Golden Qilin, Illusion Dance Butterfly, Wei Yan, Zhen Nan Tian, and Dragon Tiger Might—all stood before Qu Yi, each filled with excitement, their eyes never leaving him. Everyone regarded Qu Yi as their leader. After 100 million years apart, they all felt suppressed, unable to express their fervent emotions. Now that they saw him again, their hearts were overwhelmed, and they could only express their feelings through their gazes. “Lord!” “True God!” “Heavenly King!”

A few people shouted excitedly, from the bottom of their hearts, without the slightest hesitation. To make cultivators from all walks of life believe in Qu Yi, San Ding Men initially used their formidable strength to destroy those who opposed him before beginning to take control of various cultivation realms. Naturally, in addition to force, a strong propaganda effort was also needed, so Qu Yi was portrayed as a ruler, a true god, and an emperor. Over time, those who had once been brothers with Qu Yi also got used to such titles. Qu Yi smiled faintly and then said, “Everyone, you’ve stayed in the Immortal Realm for too long. But it won’t take long before I come to welcome you to the Divine Realm.” “We obey your orders!” the others replied immediately. Qu Yi nodded in satisfaction, then glanced at Bai Man sitting aside before saying, “Everyone, I’ve obtained two more spatial coordinates that lead to two cultivation realms. One is the Magic Realm, and the other is the Combat Energy Realm. I intend to conquer these two realms. Who among you is willing to go?” “I’m willing.” “I want to go.” “Of course it’s me.” They all shouted eagerly, competing to take on this task, as if completing it were a great honor. Qu Yi smiled faintly, waved his hand to calm the crowd, and then said, “Alright, no need to compete. Everyone can go. You have only a thousand years to fully rule the Magic Realm and the Combat Energy Realm, with San Ding Men’s influence spreading throughout both realms. You also have one million years to make all the cultivators in these realms believe in me.” “Yes, Lord.” “Yes, True God.” “Yes, Emperor.” Everyone replied excitedly, then looked at each other, secretly competing to outdo one another in this conquest of the two realms. Qu Yi smiled. His task of returning to the Immortal Realm was now completed, and it was time to return to the Divine Realm to deal properly with the eight great royal families. “Well, I’ll wait for your good news. Now, let me send you there.” Qu Yi stood up, smiling faintly. In an instant, Bai Man, Qu Hanxin, Mu Han, Golden Qilin, Illusory Butterfly, Wei Yan, Zhen Nantian, and Longhu Wei all felt a magical force enveloping them, as if the power of the entire universe was surrounding them. In the blink of an eye, all eight found themselves in a place different from the Immortal Realm.

The Magic Realm and the Combat Energy Realm are merely cultivation realms at the same level as the Cultivation Realm. Once mages and combat masters reach the peak and ascend, they go to the Magic World and the Combat World. Therefore, Qu Yi has now obtained the Magic Realm and the Combat Energy Realm, and in the future, when cultivators ascend to the Magic World and the Combat World, they will also be able to access these two cultivation realms equivalent to the Immortal Realm. Qu Yi used the power of the universe to send eight people to the Magic Realm and the Combat Energy Realm—four to each realm—before returning to the Divine Realm with Qing Wu Gui.
