Chapter 75

"Lu Shixiong, this is the Changsheng Hall." The young man respectfully said, "This is where Lu Shixiong will be staying."

"Alright, I understand." Lu Shaoyou nodded and then took out several hundred Pure Yang Pills, tossing them to the young man. The young man's face immediately lit up with joy, knowing that he himself only earned one or two hundred Pure Yang Pills in a year. Now, to suddenly receive so many, his face was filled with delight. "Tell me about the Holy Sons. After all, I've been here for too short a time."

The young man's sharp face brightened, and he immediately said, "Yes, Lu Shixiong! There are a total of 108 Holy Sons! Generally, ordinary Transcendent Mortal level experts can become True Disciples, but to become a Holy Son, one must be selected from among the True Disciples. Therefore, the strongest 108 True Disciples are the Holy Sons. Sometimes, a peak may have multiple Holy Sons, while others may have none, which would lower their status. Thus, the elders and peak leaders place great importance on the outer sect grand competition each year."

"Our Azure Dragon Peak's Holy Son is Luo Tiange," mentioning Luo Tiange, the young man's expression instantly showed deep admiration, "the undisputed top young expert of the Flame Crow Clan!"

"Oh? Is he even stronger than Luo Fanchen, who wields the Sword of the Fallen Immortal?" Lu Shaoyou raised an eyebrow. He originally thought Luo Fanchen was the top young expert of the Flame Crow Clan, but he didn't expect there to be another Luo Tiange! "Tell me, how strong is Luo Tiange of our Azure Dragon Peak?"

"Of course, he is very powerful! He once fought four Master-level experts in a direct battle! Moreover, in that battle, Brother Luo Fanchen publicly admitted that he was not as strong as him. Since then, Brother Tiange has been the undisputed strongest."

"Then, do you know about the Heavenly Pool Holy Son?"

"Oh, him? He seems to be the 94th on the Holy Son Ranking, the Holy Son of Heavenly Pool Peak." The young man thought for a moment and said.

"Holy Son Ranking? What is that?"

"It's the ranking of the Holy Sons! The outer sect grand competition is the time when the Holy Son Ranking changes! Besides that, there is the Golden List for True Disciples, the Silver List for Core Disciples, and the Bronze List for ordinary disciples! The top 100 in each category are listed. On the Holy Son Ranking, besides Brother Luo Fanchen, Brother Luo Tiange, Brother Luo Xingchen, and Sister Luo Qingyi, these four are known as the four supreme geniuses of the Flame Crow Clan!"

"Why are they all inner clan members?" Lu Shaoyou's expression changed slightly, and he asked the young man, "And why do inner clan members participate in the outer sect grand competition?"

The young man shook his head and said to Lu Shaoyou, "Lu Shixiong, you don't know. The inner clan is actually just a name, or rather, it has merged with the outer sect. Since the Flame Crow Clan adopted the methods of human sects to manage clan affairs, they found that our clan's strength greatly increased, and geniuses were more easily discovered, rather than being buried due to clan discrimination. So, the inner clan is just a sign of respect, but inner clan members are naturally talented, and the four strongest in our clan are all inner clan members!"

"Then, do you know what the Demon Emperor Platform is in three years?"

"Oh, I know," the young man said excitedly, "it's the Demon Race Grand Competition! It happens every three hundred years, with countless geniuses participating, and even the sacred lands will come to observe!"

Lu Shaoyou nodded and said, "Alright, I understand. You can go now."

The young man nodded and said, "Thank you, Shixiong!" He then ran off happily.

Lu Shaoyou turned and walked into the Changsheng Hall. The courtyard was not large, but it was filled with immortal herbs and spirit medicines. A faint aura of primordial energy enveloped Lu Shaoyou, and he smiled. The Flame Crow Clan truly deserved to be one of the twelve great royal clans; even a random courtyard was filled with immortal herbs. Lu Shaoyou stepped into the room.

The room was simple, not lavishly decorated. A painting hung on the wall, with the words "Eternal Life" written in large characters. Lu Shaoyou stared at the painting, feeling that it indeed had some profound meaning. Just looking at these four characters could invigorate one's spirit, dispel mental demons, and accelerate cultivation.

The walls were bare, with no extra decorations, fitting the mindset of a cultivator.

There was a table and a cushion in the room. A book was placed on the table. Lu Shaoyou walked over and found that the book was called "Records of the Primordial Era," which detailed the situation of the Primordial Era. Lu Shaoyou immediately became interested and flipped through the book, the information inside making him ecstatic.

As soon as the book was opened, light and shadows danced, and several large characters flew up.

"Seven Great Human Empires!"

"Five Regions of the Primordial Era!"

"Eastern Region, filled with sects, where immortals and demons coexist."

"Southern Region, dominated by the demon race, with sacred lands and the twelve great royal clans, possessing formidable strength."

"Western Region, the land of Buddhism and Daoism, with Mount Sumeru and the Great Thunder Sound Temple."

"Northern Region, vast deserts, mysterious and unknown, with countless ruins."

"Central Region, governed by humans, with the seven great empires, sweeping across the world."

"Three Thousand Great Dao, Eight Hundred Minor Dao!"

"Undersea World!"

"Domain of the Demon Emperor!"

"Three Thousand Outer Regions, unknown!"

"Great Abyss of Sin!"

...

Lu Shaoyou was dazzled by the thousands of entries. Browsing through them, he felt overwhelmed. Since his rebirth in the Primordial Era, he had been focused on cultivation and knew little about the world, often limiting his perspective to the Southern Region. This time, he felt his horizons broaden. He couldn't help but marvel at the vastness of this world, as the opening sentence of the book stated:

"Infinite chaos, the beginning of the universe. Pangu opened the heavens, and the Primordial Era was born. No one knows how vast and wide the Primordial Era is. In ancient legends, even the flying immortals could not cross it. It seems to have existed since the beginning of time, never disappearing."

Indeed, the Primordial Era is so vast; who knows its true extent? Even the legendary immortals find it hard to cross, let alone mere mortals. Lu Shaoyou sighed, thinking about a question. This world seems different from the Earth he knew. Earth is just a planet with a definite size, but why does this world feel like an eternal continent? Lu Shaoyou thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Flipping to another page of the book, countless mysterious events and ancient ruins were listed before Lu Shaoyou. There were also many extraordinary people, legends of powerful figures, various characters, magical treasures, elixirs, and many fierce beasts and medicinal herbs. Lu Shaoyou was captivated, marveling at the wonders of this world.

The book covered almost every aspect, with no omissions. Even a cultivator like Lu Shaoyou would need at least three to five years to read it all. Lu Shaoyou took a deep breath, amazed at how much information was contained in just a few thin pages.

In his past life, Lu Shaoyou was very interested in immortals and demons, so he casually clicked on the Eastern Region's immortal and demon sects. A list of names immediately appeared: Tai Shi Sect, Da Yan Sect, Tongtian Sword Sect, Tai Xuan Sect, Zhen Wu Heavenly Palace, Zi Huang Sect, Tian Dao Palace, Piaomiao Peak, Wushang Yuanyang Sect, and many other immortal sects. Scrolling down, he finally found the demon sects: Tianmo Palace, Hellfire Demon Sect, Blood Demon Sect, Sword Demon Sect, Naihe Sect, Huangquan Bilo Sect, and many others.

Lu Shaoyou looked at these sects with great interest, just as he was about to read about the seven great human empires, a commotion came from the door. Lu Shaoyou frowned and closed the book, walking out to the courtyard.

"Get out! Get out of my way!"

"How dare a mere ordinary disciple block me? Are you tired of living?!"

"Boy, think carefully! This is Young Master Huang, whose father is a Transcendent Mortal level True Disciple! He can crush you with a flick of his hand! I advise you to get out of the way!"

"That's right!"
