Divine Emperor Demon Emperor

Chapter 615: Chapter 615: Heaven-Defying Rules?

At Lin Yun’s words, the Monk and the others looked at him in confusion. Seeing their expressions, Lin Yun took a small sip of wine and began to explain slowly.

”Haven’t you noticed? Ever since we entered this world, we haven’t seen a single Martial Artist who has surpassed the Celestial Spirit Realm. Furthermore, when Zijin and I were walking around Demon City today, we discovered that there isn’t a single mortal in the entire city. Don’t you find that a little... odd?”

As they listened to Lin Yun’s explanation, the Monk and Daoist were initially unconcerned. But after Lin Yun finished, a moment later, they both turned to look at him in near-simultaneous horror.

”Young Master Lin, you mean...?” the Daoist asked, finding it hard to believe.

Hearing this, Lin Yun nodded. ”Yes. I think this world has its own rules. In this world, it should be very easy to advance your cultivation before the Celestial Spirit Realm. It’s just that no matter how you cultivate, you can never surpass it.”

When Lin Yun said this, the three of them showed shocked expressions. After thinking about it carefully, they realized what Lin Yun said wasn’t without reason.

The entire Demon City had no mortals, and at the same time, not a single person who had surpassed the Celestial Spirit Realm. It was very likely that this world’s rules were flawed.

The rules of a world, to put it bluntly, were essentially a self-preservation mechanism. Take this world they were in for example. Because this world was very small, its entire Space was not as stable as the Celestial Spirit Continent’s.

Therefore, it was very likely that the limit this world could withstand was the Celestial Spirit Realm. To prevent the world’s Space from shattering, the people within it were unable to surpass the Celestial Spirit Realm and break through to the Spirit Realm.

Shaking his head, the Monk suddenly thought of something. He looked at Lin Yun and the other two, a delirious joy spreading across his face as he spoke.

”If that’s the case, doesn’t that mean it’s much easier for us to break through to the limit of the Celestial Spirit Realm by cultivating here than on the Celestial Spirit Continent?”

The Monk’s words were not without reason. After all, even the children in Demon City had a cultivation at the Qi Sea Realm at minimum. Hearing the Monk’s words, Lin Yun and the others still decided to ask the Grand Commander tomorrow and see what his explanation was.

”This truly is a magical world. If it’s really as the Monk says, then haven’t we hit the jackpot? After we leave this place, won’t we all be at the limit of the Celestial Spirit Realm?” the Daoist said, also somewhat excited, taking a swig of wine.

Lin Yun didn’t make a definite judgment, as this was only his own speculation. ’I’ll wait until tomorrow and ask the Grand Commander what he has to say,’ he thought.

They didn’t stay in the courtyard for long. The Monk and Daoist were simply a pair of drunkards. Their talents were clearly very high, but when it came to cultivation, they did it entirely based on their mood.

If the two of them were a bit more diligent in their cultivation, their combat power would have likely already reached the Demon Level.

Lin Yun left, and Xi Zijin left as well, leaving only the Monk and Daoist still drinking in the courtyard.

First, he went to the rear courtyard. Seeing that the Black-striped Tiger and Little Ape were both fast asleep, Lin Yun returned to his room alone and began to cultivate with his eyes closed.

Having arrived in a strange place, Lin Yun was not in a hurry to start a war with the Divine Palace. After all, there were many things he had yet to figure out and adapt to.

It was the same for the Divine Palace. Ever since Qing Zhu and her group had joined them, the Divine Palace had also quieted down, making no moves to provoke the Demon Palace.

「The next day」

Lin Yun went to the courtyard early in the morning to practice his Martial Skills. He cultivated until noon before leaving the courtyard and heading towards the black Main Hall in the center of Demon City.

At the entrance of the Main Hall, Lin Yun told the guarding Demon Palace Warriors that he wished to request an audience with the Grand Commander.

After waiting outside the hall for a moment, a guard received the Grand Commander’s permission and led Lin Yun into the Main Hall.

It was just as dim as before. They walked all the way to the innermost part of the Main Hall, where the Grand Commander was already seated on the high main throne, waiting.

Seeing Lin Yun approach, the Grand Commander didn’t bother with pleasantries and asked directly, ”Lin Yun, what is it?”

”Yes, there is something I would like to ask you, Grand Commander,” Lin Yun replied.

Hearing Lin Yun’s words, the Grand Commander gestured for him to speak. Seeing this, Lin Yun voiced the doubts in his heart, asking the Grand Commander why no one in Demon City could surpass the Celestial Spirit Realm.

”Surpass the Celestial Spirit Realm?” But to Lin Yun’s surprise, upon hearing his question, the Grand Commander looked utterly confused, as if the Celestial Spirit Realm was supposed to be the highest level of cultivation.

Seeing the Grand Commander’s reaction, Lin Yun knew that the Grand Commander himself probably had no idea that there were higher realms beyond the Celestial Spirit Realm. ℯℯ𝑙.

’It makes sense, though. After all, not a single person in the entire Demon City can surpass the Celestial Spirit Realm, so of course the Grand Commander wouldn’t know that realms exist beyond it.’

A trace of disappointment flickered in his heart. He had thought the Grand Commander would know something. However, just as Lin Yun was preparing to take his leave, the Grand Commander suddenly spoke.

”You are people who fell from the sky, so perhaps you know many things we do not. However, I do not know the reason for what you’ve described. Moreover, I was not aware that there were realm divisions above the Celestial Spirit Realm.”

Hearing the Grand Commander’s words, Lin Yun explained to him that above the Celestial Spirit Realm, there were also the Spirit Realm, the Earth Saint Realm, and the Celestial Saint Realm.

As he listened to Lin Yun’s explanation, a look of shock gradually appeared on the Grand Commander’s face. He had always believed that the Celestial Spirit Realm was the peak of Martial Arts. How could he have imagined that at his age, he would learn that the Celestial Spirit Realm wasn’t the peak at all? That it couldn’t even be considered the realm of the truly strong.

”Sigh... I have lived for so many years, yet I have been a frog in a well the entire time. However, hearing you say all this, I do have some of my own experiences that I can share with you...” the Grand Commander said with a sigh.

The Grand Commander spoke of his personal cultivation experiences. However, the more Lin Yun listened, the broader the smile on his face became. By the end, Lin Yun could barely stop himself from laughing out loud.

It turned out that, according to the Grand Commander, in this world, there was no such thing as the Body Refining Realm. Anyone born in this world started with a Qi Sea Realm cultivation from the moment they were born.

Moreover, the Grand Commander told Lin Yun that from the Qi Sea Realm all the way to the Celestial Spirit Realm, it was as if the barriers between realms didn’t exist in this world. As long as your Elemental Power and Mental Realm were sufficient, you could easily break through.

It was just that, once you broke through to the limit of the Celestial Spirit Realm, you would find that no matter how much you cultivated, your body would feel as if it were completely saturated, unable to absorb even a single trace of Heaven and Earth Primordial Power.

After hearing the Grand Commander’s experiences, Lin Yun understood why no one in this world surpassed the Celestial Spirit Realm. At the same time, an ecstatic joy bloomed in his heart.

’Based on that, wouldn’t it be incredibly easy for me and the others to break through to the limit of the Celestial Spirit Realm in this world?’
