Bai Dafei was currently the disciple that the Memory Sect had taken an interest in.
Thus, they had sent him here for an expedition.
However, because Memory Sect specialized in pill refinement and array, Bai Dafei didn’t need to personally engage in combat. His responsibility was to maintain the array and assist other cultivators in repairing magic instruments or refining elixirs when needed.
Of course, Bai Dafei wouldn’t be just idling around.
Each time he completed a task, he could earn a substantial amount of contribution points.
Although the contribution points in the Two Realm Great Wall weren’t spiritual stones, they held comparable value.
This was because the items that could be obtained with spiritual stones could also be exchanged within the Two Realm Great Wall.
And there were even things that couldn’t be obtained with spiritual stones, yet could still be exchanged within the Two Realm Great Wall.
After all, the treasure vault of the Two Realm Great Wall encompassed nearly all the treasures of the Upper Realm.
To make the horse run, you must first let it eat grass.
The high-intensity battles within the Two Realm Great Wall would be hard to sustain without significant rewards, even for the Three Upper Realm Sects. It would be difficult to compel everyone to willingly engage without substantial incentives.
As Bai Dafei headed to his assigned area, he observed the surroundings.
Besides the numerous cultivators on the Two Realm Great Wall, there were also various special defensive magic items placed here.
All of these magic items shared a standardized appearance.
Moreover, they all had a very noticeable characteristic.
They were large, extremely large.
It seemed as though from their design, they were never meant for individual cultivators.
From the outset, they had been designed for warfare!
For instance, the Spiritual Stone Cannon on the Two Realm Great Wall held the power comparable to a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator with each shot.
However, to control this Spiritual Stone Cannon, it required at least a Nascent Soul cultivator and two Core Formation Stage cultivators to handle.
Similar to this cannon, Bai Dafei had seen no less than a hundred others.
It was hard to fathom the horrifying scene when hundreds of these Spiritual Stone Cannons were fired simultaneously.
On the Two Realm Great Wall, the Spiritual Stone Cannon was considered a basic defensive magic treasure.
Bai Dafei had encountered numerous magic items that were even larger and more extravagant.
However, he didn’t even know the purpose of these magic items.
Apart from that, Bai Dafei also observed traces of arrays around the Two Realm Great Wall.
These arrays seemed to have been inscribed long ago, barely noticeable without careful examination.
As for their functions, Bai Dafei, with limited knowledge of arrays, couldn’t fully grasp them.
If his junior brother from the Lower Realm, Lu Yuan, were here, he might be able to understand them.
After all, his junior brother had displayed unparalleled talent in arrays.
While Bai Dafei pondered, he was brought to a logistics department within the inner city of the Two Realm Great Wall.
A large number of support talents like Bai Dafei had gathered in this position.
A cultivator from the Two Realm Great Wall approached Bai Dafei with a namelist.
“Memory Sect, Nascent Soul Stage, pharmacist, Bai Dafei?”
“That’s me.”
“Here’s your identification card. Keep it safe. For the next ten years, you’ll be refining pills in the B-grade pill refinement area. You’ll be provided with the details of elixir refinement and the required medicinal ingredients.” “Understood.”
Bai Dafei received the waist token and then proceeded in the designated direction.
When he arrived at the B-grade pill refinement area, a nostalgic expression appeared on Bai Dafei’s face.
Because the scene of numerous cauldrons firing up was reminiscent of his days refining pills in the Qingyun Sect.
Yet, time had brought change, and things were no longer the same.
After his moment of reflection, Bai Dafei entered the area and was assigned to his pill refinement furnace.
Simultaneously, in the Speed Star Sword Domain.
Boom!
A clap of thunder echoed suddenly within the Speed Star Sword Domain.
As a result, everyone within the Sword Domain instinctively turned their gazes toward the source of the startling sound.
Following that, they witnessed a scene that would remain unforgettable in their lives.
A thundercloud covering almost half of the Sword Domain had manifested, blanketing the entirety of the sky above.
Many of them had neither seen nor even heard of such a massive Heavenly Tribulation before.
Although they really wanted to know what kind of existence had triggered such a Heavenly Tribulation.
However, when they discovered that the center of this Heavenly Tribulation was the Parasol Tree in the heart of the Heavenly Speed Sword Domain, they abandoned the idea of continuing their investigation.
This was because the Parasol Tree was the residence of the Sword master within the Speed Star Sword Domain.
Throughout the entire Speed Star Sword Domain, no one dared to uncover the secrets of the Sword Master.
Similar to the outside world, the imperial palace on the Parasol Tree was also alerted by the Heavenly Tribulation.
Countless cultivators lifted their heads and gazed in horror at the heavenly tribulation above, unaware of what was happening.
“Silence.”
Just as everyone was bewildered, Sword Master Gu Qiuyue stepped out slowly.
“This matter has nothing to do with you. There’s no need to linger any longer.”
“Yes!”
Upon hearing Gu Qiuyue’s words, everyone’s anxiety immediately subsided.
As the saying goes, even if the sky were to fall, there would be someone to hold it up.
If an issue arose in the Speed Star Sword Domain that even Sword Master Gu Qiuyue couldn’t resolve, then worrying about it was pointless.
Once everyone dispersed, Gu Qiuyue returned to the center of the Parasol Tree.
At this moment, a multitude of flying beasts residing on the crown of the Parasol Tree were also disturbed by the appearance of the Heavenly Tribulation, causing them to temporarily depart from the Parasol Tree.
Directly beneath the Heavenly Lightning, Lu Yuan was meditating with his eyes closed, seemingly oblivious to all that he had stirred.
Gu Qiuyue observed the Heavenly Lightning provoked by Lu Yuan’s breakthrough and was secretly astounded.
She had no knowledge of what kind of Laws of Heaven and Earth Lu Yuan had integrated, to trigger such an immense reaction during his advancement.
Could it be that he comprehended the complete the way of the heavens when he was at the Apotheosis Stage?
It should be noted that when she underwent her own breakthrough, the disturbance she caused was merely a quarter of what Lu Yuan was currently causing.
This had already left a strong impression on many individuals.
If each Sword Domain weren’t a self-contained realm, and if she hadn’t deliberately kept the news sealed, the current commotion alone would be enough to attract numerous cultivators from other Sword Domains.
At this moment, Lu Yuan seemed to have finally opened his eyes.
Gu Qiuyue gazed into his eyes, a bit entranced.
Because it seemed as if she could glimpse countless stars through those eyes.
This sensation was both marvelous and incredibly real.
At this moment, Lu Yuan didn’t pay attention to Gu Qiuyue’s changing expression. His mind was entirely focused on the heavenly tribulation above his head.
He had already anticipated that the Heavenly tribulation of his Apotheosis Stage would be terrifying.
Hence, well before his breakthrough, he had entrusted Gu Qiuyue to prepare numerous items for his advancement.
The variety of these preparations even surpassed those he had made for his initial Nascent Soul Stage breakthrough.
One could say that Lu Yuan had been preparing for this day for a considerable period.
Yet, despite all this, Lu Yuan’s expression remained exceptionally grave.
This was because he could sense that this time, his Heavenly tribulation was even more dreadful than the Apotheosis Stage tribulation he was familiar with.
Considering that he had faced extraordinary Heavenly tribulations all along, he should have grown accustomed to such treatment.
However, just like how people often entertained notions of good luck.
Lu Yuan had also harbored the hope several times that his subsequent
Heavenly tribulation would be of a standard level.
Yet, without fail, each time his expectations were thwarted.
His Apotheosis Stage Heavenly tribulation wasn’t merely of the accustomed super-scale, its power also had a tinge of terror.
However, the present differed from the past. Although this Heavenly tribulation was fearsome, Lu Yuan was almost fully confident in himself.
During his secluded cultivation in this period, he gradually unraveled the nature of his Nascent Soul Stage.
He had initially believed that his Nascent Soul Stage was akin to the legendary Three Pure Ones. Yet, in reality, his Nascent Soul Stage wasn’t a singular entity but an entire world!
This realization made his process of comprehending the Laws of Heaven & Earth exceedingly straightforward.
Furthermore, the same laws in his hands wielded power surpassing that of ordinary individuals.
Coupled with his mastery of each preceding tier, he had almost reached the pinnacle attainable by an extreme cultivator.
Throughout his journey, Lu Yuan’s current depth of foundation had become so profound that even he found it somewhat unfathomable.
Building upon this foundation, the likelihood of his breakthrough to the Apotheosis Stage…. was at least 98%!
