Chapter 52: The Cultivation World

The Treasure Tower was in a frenzy of celebration, and Xia Yuxuan gave many rewards to the servants.

Tuoba Ye bid farewell to his family one by one. This time, he was only taking the Golden Silver Flying Snake King and Bunny with him, while the Eight Dragon Guards would remain at the Treasure Tower.

Time passed quickly with the family, and before they knew it, it was noon.

Seeing that he was about to leave, the person he was most reluctant to part with was Xia Yuxuan.

Tuoba Xiong was missing, and Tuoba Jie had gone far to the southern border. Tuoba Ye and Xia Yuxuan relied on each other for survival, and they had deep feelings for each other.

"Xiao Ye..." Xia Yuxuan shed crystal-clear tears.

On the verge of parting, Tuoba Ye felt a pang of sorrow.

In his previous life, he only had a deep relationship with his girlfriend and lacked the warmth of family.

In this life, he finally had a warm family, but he was about to leave and start a lonely path of cultivation.

As for his fiancée, Situ Yuer, he didn't dare to think about it. Previously, he hadn't seen Situ Yuer's talent, which seemed to have been concealed by the Xuan Nv Palace. Otherwise, if Situ Yuer had been taken by another sect, the Xuan Nv Palace's experts would have been very upset. Situ Yuer had exceptional talent, one in a billion, and even the Xuan Nv Palace found it hard to find such a disciple.

Before knowing about Situ Yuer's talent, Tuoba Ye hadn't treated her well. Now that she had joined one of the nine major sects, the Xuan Nv Palace, the gap in status was even greater.

Tuoba Ye shook his head, not thinking about Situ Yuer anymore. He looked at Xia Yuxuan and said, "Mother, don't worry. I will take good care of myself and come home to see you when I have the chance."

"Xiao Ye, really? I heard that cultivators sometimes meditate for decades, and when you come down the mountain to see me, I might not be around anymore," Xia Yuxuan said softly.

"Of course, I will definitely come down the mountain," Tuoba Ye promised.

Ying Hua Fei said, "Little husband, if you don't come down the mountain to marry me, I'll come looking for you."

This fierce assassin girl was truly formidable, saying such things in public, making Tuoba Ye feel embarrassed.

Tuoba Xiong chimed in, "Xiao Ye, you must come home after you grow up, and you need to carry on the family name!"

Tuoba Ye immediately felt depressed, but their lineage had been single for three generations, and they indeed needed to carry on the family name.

But he immediately thought of his lover from his previous life and didn't want to betray her.

"Grandfather, Father, Mother, take care. I'm leaving," Tuoba Ye said.

It was almost time, and he believed that Mu Lin Sen would also be arriving soon.

As Tuoba Ye just stepped out of the Treasure Tower, Mu Lin Sen appeared.

"Brother Tuoba Ye, are you ready to go?" Mu Lin Sen asked.

"Brother, let's go!" Tuoba Ye was most afraid of the parting sorrow and preferred to leave quickly.

Mu Lin Sen waved his hand, and a flying sword appeared in front of him, quickly growing larger. "Brother Tuoba Ye, I'll take you to the sect on my flying sword. At the beginning of flying, you might be a bit scared, but don't worry, I'll protect you."

"Okay!" Tuoba Ye wasn't afraid and had experience with it, but he didn't show it.

Seeing Tuoba Ye and Mu Lin Sen step onto the flying sword, Xia Yuxuan called out loudly, "Xiao Ye, you must come home to see us."

"I will!" Tuoba Ye waved his hands vigorously.

"Let's go!" Mu Lin Sen controlled the flying sword, quickly ascending into the sky and disappearing.

Only when Tuoba Ye was completely out of sight did Xia Yuxuan and the others reluctantly return.

Tuoba Ye's departure meant he wouldn't be seen for a long time.

"Xiao Ye is only six years old, and he has to leave home. I wonder if he can take care of himself," Xia Yuxuan said, though Tuoba Ye was very strong, she still worried.

"Yuxuan, Xiao Ye is the best and can definitely take care of himself," Tuoba Jie said.

...

On the flying sword, Tuoba Ye pretended to be uncomfortable and only felt better after some time.

Seeing Tuoba Ye's expression improve, Mu Lin Sen smiled and said, "Brother Tuoba Ye, are you less scared now?"

"Yes, thank you, Brother!" Tuoba Ye nodded.

Mu Lin Sen noticed the Bunny on Tuoba Ye's shoulder and asked, "Brother Tuoba Ye, why are you bringing a rabbit?"

"Brother Mu Lin Sen, this isn't an ordinary rabbit. It can talk, and it will be a companion for me," Tuoba Ye said.

Bunny couldn't stay silent forever, so it was better to reveal it now. In the future, Bunny could speak freely.

"Oh!" Mu Lin Sen was somewhat surprised. "It seems to be a demonic beast, but it has no energy fluctuations, so it probably doesn't have much combat power."

Clearly, Mu Lin Sen wasn't very interested in Bunny.

"Brother Mu Lin Sen, where are we going now?" Tuoba Ye asked.

"Of course, to our sect, Immortal Cloud Mountain of the Dan Ding Sect!" Mu Lin Sen said.

"Brother Mu Lin Sen, I heard that the cultivation world and the secular world are separate, right?" Tuoba Ye asked curiously.

He knew some of these situations from his previous life, but he wasn't sure if the Divine Martial Continent was the same.

Mu Lin Sen smiled and said, "Of course, the entire Divine Martial Continent, the secular world only occupies one-fifth, and the other four-fifths are the cultivation world. There are also mortals and countries in the cultivation world. However, the mortals in the cultivation world are different from those in the secular world; they have more contact with cultivation sects, and most have some connection to the cultivation world."

"Are the cultivation families also in the cultivation world?" Tuoba Ye asked.

"Of course, most cultivation families are in the cultivation world, but some have branches in the secular world," Mu Lin Sen patiently explained.

Actually, once Tuoba Ye entered the cultivation world, these things wouldn't be secrets, and even the secular world knew some of the situations.

Tuoba Ye thought of the Tuoba family. "Brother Mu Lin Sen, if our family wants to enter the cultivation world and become a cultivation family, what conditions are needed?"

"Brother Tuoba Ye, if your family has a Golden Core Realm expert, you can enter the cultivation world. Of course, if your cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul Realm, it can also allow the Tuoba family to enter the cultivation world. The spiritual energy in the cultivation world is far superior to that in the secular world, and living in the cultivation world can extend the life of ordinary people by more than ten years. Moreover, the cultivation world is vast and sparsely populated, and a cultivation family can occupy a large territory," Mu Lin Sen said.

Tuoba Ye asked, "Is there no other way?"

For the Tuoba family to produce a Golden Core Realm expert, it was quite difficult and impossible in the short term.

As for Tuoba Ye himself becoming a Golden Core Realm expert, it seemed even harder and would take time.

"There are no other ways for now, but there might be some turning points. The cultivation world is likely to have some major events happening," Mu Lin Sen said.

Tuoba Ye was immediately startled. He knew some about the cultivation world.

The cultivation world is divided into levels, and there are many cultivation worlds. Wars between cultivation worlds are common.

The Divine Martial Continent is a declining third-grade cultivation world, basically at the bottom. If a powerful cultivation world invades, it could be occupied by other cultivation worlds.

"Brother Mu Lin Sen, thank you for telling me so much," Tuoba Ye said.

He didn't ask in detail; his goal was to get systematic learning to avoid detours in his cultivation.

Tuoba Ye and Mu Lin Sen traveled together for a long time.

They rarely rested along the way, and they didn't know how far they had traveled.

"Brother Mu Lin Sen, have we entered the cultivation world?" Tuoba Ye asked.

Actually, Tuoba Ye was asking a known question. There is a barrier between the cultivation world and the secular world, and without guidance, it's impossible for secular people to enter the cultivation world.

Tuoba Ye sensed it the moment they entered the barrier.

"We are already in the cultivation world, and we are not far from our Dan Ding Sect," Mu Lin Sen said. "Immortal Cloud Mountain is close to the Southern Wilderness, and it's actually quite close to the Warring States."

"That's great! If I want to come home to visit, it will be more convenient," Tuoba Ye said happily.

"Brother Tuoba Ye, once you join a cultivation sect, you need to gradually cut ties with the secular world. It's not easy to come home, and you can't leave the mountain until your cultivation reaches a certain level," Mu Lin Sen said.

Tuoba Ye asked, "Brother Mu Lin Sen, when can I leave the mountain?"

"At least you need to reach the Qi Condensation Realm to go down the mountain for training," Mu Lin Sen didn't hide it.

Although Tuoba Ye was only six years old, he looked like he was twelve or thirteen, so Mu Lin Sen didn't find it strange that he asked so many questions. Tuoba Ye's behavior was quite different from that of a six-year-old child.

Actually, Mu Lin Sen didn't know much about Tuoba Ye, not even his age, only that he had a defective spiritual root but was a genius with innate strength.

The Qi Condensation Realm wasn't a difficult task for Tuoba Ye, and he was confident he could reach it quickly.

As long as he had the opportunity, he would return to the Tuoba family to help them improve their strength.

Of course, before returning, he needed to collect more resources, especially those that could enhance his strength.

Relaxing, Tuoba Ye began to enjoy the scenery along the way.

The elemental energy in the cultivation world was much denser than in the secular world, making the plants and trees in the cultivation world very lush. No one destroyed these plants and trees, so the scenery in the secular world couldn't compare to that in the cultivation world.

Mu Lin Sen took Tuoba Ye over countless mountains. Looking down, there were towering ancient trees everywhere, and clear rivers could be seen.

"The cultivation world is truly beautiful! Even the air is much fresher!" Tuoba Ye exclaimed.

"Brother Tuoba Ye, this is nothing. When you reach Immortal Cloud Mountain, you'll see what true beauty is," Mu Lin Sen smiled.

Tuoba Ye asked, "Is Immortal Cloud Mountain just one mountain?"

"Immortal Cloud Mountain is a mountain range, stretching for millions of miles, all of which are the territory of our Dan Ding Sect. Moreover, the vast surrounding areas are also our territory," Mu Lin Sen said proudly.

"Then our Dan Ding Sect must be much larger than the Warring States!" Tuoba Ye feigned surprise.

Mu Lin Sen smiled and said, "Brother Tuoba Ye, there's no doubt about it. How can the Warring States compare to our Dan Ding Sect? Our Dan Ding Sect controls dozens of countries, each of which is much larger than the Warring States."

"With so much territory, the Dan Ding Sect must have a large population. Then, the number of disciples in the Dan Ding Sect must be huge," Tuoba Ye exclaimed.

"Of course! Like you, those who haven't reached the Qi Condensation Realm are outer sect disciples. If you can reach the Qi Condensation Realm, you can become an inner sect disciple. The outer sect disciples are the most numerous, with at least a million. However, those who can become inner sect disciples are very few, and the total number of inner sect disciples in our Dan Ding Sect is only about ten thousand," Mu Lin Sen said.
