"The higher the realm, the stronger the suppression from the Heavenly Dao rules."
"Haotian is relatively lenient towards cultivators at the terrestrial immortal realm."
"As we all know, terrestrial immortals can mobilize the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and their internal energy is inexhaustible, making them far stronger than those below the level of terrestrial immortals."
"This is actually also a **sword.
"The reason why terrestrial immortals can freely mobilize the primordial energy of heaven and earth is that they are connected with the destiny of heaven."
"This means that if a terrestrial immortal commits too many killings, he will suffer a backlash from his luck. At best, he will fall from the terrestrial immortal realm, and at worst, he will be punished by heaven."
"This is also a form of protection that Haotian provides for ordinary people."
"The power of the terrestrial immortals is too great. If they are not restrained, the consequences will be unimaginable if they go on a killing spree."
"That's why there are very few immortals on land who roam the martial world, and even fewer who personally cause large-scale casualties."
"Simply put, as long as the terrestrial deities do not cause large-scale killings, they will basically not be affected."
"And when one's cultivation level reaches the Land Celestial Realm, Haotian's rules will become even stricter."
"Any expert who breaks through to the Land Celestial Realm can clearly feel that the speed at which they absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has slowed down."
"This is not because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has decreased, but because the rules of Haotian are restricting their continued improvement."
"This is why many talented young people break through to the Land Celestial Realm early on, but are unable to make further progress for decades."
"Of course, if a terrestrial Celestial Realm expert does not want to be bound by the rules, there is another option: to break through the Heavenly Gate and fly into the mortal realm."
"It is extremely difficult for terrestrial immortals to ascend to the heavens, but for terrestrial celestial beings, there are almost no obstacles."
"This can be considered a leniency from Haotian towards the terrestrial celestial beings."
"But if you continue to break through in the mortal realm and reach the Celestial Longevity Realm, then congratulations, you have been added to Haotian's kill list."
"As I said before, experts at the Celestial Longevity Realm possess all sorts of unimaginable abilities."
"The most crucial point is that they are qualified to challenge Haotian."
"Only those who have reached the Great Longevity Realm of Celestial Beings or above can embark on the Path of Conquest."
"Therefore, whether it is to maintain the stability of the Haotian World or to protect its own safety, Haotian will not allow the emergence of a powerful being at the Great Longevity Realm in the mortal world."
"This is why Liu Bai has never dared to break through his cultivation level."
"As the chief guest elder of the Xiling Temple, Liu Bai is very clear about this taboo and understands how powerful Haotian is."
"In order to avoid being discovered by Haotian, Liu Bai would rather stay stuck at his current level for the rest of his life."
"But his idea was too naive."
"Haotian is the only true god in this world, and his understanding of everything in the human world far exceeds his imagination."
"His sword, which is unmatched in the world, and the legend of his invincibility within a foot of his body, make him qualified to fight against the heavens. His brilliance cannot be concealed at all."
Liu Bai thought that as long as they didn't advance in their cultivation level, they could live in peace.
"But he didn't know that his name was already listed at the top of the second page of the Heavenly Book's Sun Scroll."
Chapter 71 The Strong
"This means that in Haotian's eyes, his threat has exceeded that of an ordinary Celestial Realm expert."
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, the hall erupted in chaos once again.
Although they had known about the existence of the Haotian Rules for a long time, everyone still felt a deep sense of oppression after actually hearing them.
The Earth Immortal realm has three levels of rules and restrictions.
As long as terrestrial deities don't commit large-scale evil deeds, there's no problem.
Although terrestrial celestial beings find it difficult to improve their cultivation, they can choose to ascend to other realms.
The Celestial Beings, possessing the qualifications to embark on the path of conquering the heavens, were therefore completely rejected by the Heavenly Emperor.
At this moment, everyone suddenly realized why Liu Bai had been hesitant to break through his cultivation level.
It turns out that compared to terrestrial immortals and terrestrial celestial beings, the Great Longevity Realm of celestial beings is the real life-or-death juncture, and even a powerful figure like Liu Bai is filled with fear.
But after hearing Su Chen's next words, a chill ran through everyone's hearts.
Haotian's strength lies not only in his astonishing combat power, but also in his unparalleled insight.
Although he resides high in the heavens, he is well aware of human affairs and has a clear understanding of Liu Bai's true strength.
Therefore, even though Liu Bai had not entered the Celestial Longevity Realm, he was regarded as an equal in terms of the rules, which made everyone have even greater awe for Haotian.
Immediately, a great deal of discussion arose within the main hall:
"My God! Haotian is indeed the only true god in this world, and has the supreme power to make the rules."
"Are only those at the Earth Immortal Realm or above subject to the rules? No wonder I've never heard of these things before; it turns out they have nothing to do with us."
"That's right. There are many martial artists in the martial world, but very few can break through to the Land Immortal Realm. This rule has almost nothing to do with the martial world."
"No wonder there are almost no experts above the Land Immortal Realm in the martial arts world. It turns out they are all bound by Haotian's rules."
"I think Haotian's rules are pretty good. Those experts above the Land Immortal Realm are too terrifying. If they are not restrained, they can easily destroy even the imperial dynasty."
"Yes, I think Haotian's rules are a kind of protection for ordinary people, and these experts should be restricted."
"What exactly is this 'Sun Scroll' that the Celestial Immortal mentioned? I've never heard of it before."
"This is the first time I've ever heard of the term 'Heavenly Book.' Could it be a tool used by the Jade Emperor to monitor the human world?"
"If Liu Bai knew about this, he would be shocked. He thought he had hidden it well, but Hao Tian had been watching him for a long time."
"The Haotian Daoist sect says that Haotian is omniscient and omnipotent. Now it seems that even if it's not true, it's pretty close."
In the sixth private room on the west side of the fifteenth floor, Lei Wujie said in surprise, "Xiao Se, you are right. Haotian and the experts of the Great Longevity Realm of the Celestial Being are mortal enemies."
Xiao Se said, "But what I didn't expect was that Haotian also has restrictions on terrestrial immortals and terrestrial celestial beings, but this is a good thing for ordinary people."
"Indeed."
"Great cultivators occupy a large amount of spiritual energy, just like wealthy merchants occupy wealth and power."
"If we don't restrict them, sooner or later the people will suffer," Wuxin said slowly.
"But since Liu Bai has already been regarded as a powerful expert in the Great Longevity Realm of the Celestial Beings, why hasn't he been punished by Heaven yet?" Tang Lian asked cautiously.
Xiao Se laughed and said, "This shows that Haotian is not as omniscient and omnipotent as Haotian Dao Sect claims. Perhaps he himself is subject to some kind of restriction and cannot act at will."
"You'll understand this once you think about it."
"Even in the most powerful dynasties like Qin and Liyang, not everyone who breaks the law will be caught."
There will always be people in this world who can transcend the rules, whether they are the rules of an imperial dynasty or the rules of the heavens.
If I'm not mistaken, as long as a Celestial Realm expert doesn't follow Huangfu Jian's example and court death, their life should be spared. Wuxin slowly revealed his opinion.
Ji Ruofeng shook his head and said, "In general, we know too little about this world; it's not even the tip of the iceberg."
This statement was agreed upon by everyone in the private room.
Although they heard many secrets today, the more they learned, the more they realized their own ignorance and the unknown shrouded in mystery.
In the second private room on the south side of the fourteenth floor, Xu Fengnian said thoughtfully, "Liu Bai is listed as the first character on the second page of the Heavenly Book's Sun Scroll? I wonder what this Heavenly Book is all about?"
Sword Emperor Jiu replied with a wry smile, "There are too many secrets in this world; I'm confused now."
Li Chungang poured himself a cup of rice wine, took a small sip, and casually said, "I think this Heavenly Book must be closely related to Haotian. It might even be a magical artifact that Haotian uses to monitor the human world."
Jiang Ni curiously leaned closer and asked, "Do the Haotian Rules that the Celestial Immortal spoke of really exist?"
Li Chungang pondered for a while and said, "After cultivating to the realm of a terrestrial immortal, one's aura will be connected with heaven and earth, and a new feeling will emerge in the darkness. Perhaps that is the Haotian rule that the Heavenly Mystery Immortal spoke of."
"Liu Bai's strength is comparable to that of a true Celestial Realm expert, yet he is only ranked third on the Sword Immortal Ranking."
"I wonder what level of cultivation this second-ranked sword immortal possesses?"
Nangong Pushe suddenly spoke up.
This remark drew everyone's attention to Bai Yutai.
Even Li Chungang showed a serious expression.
If he thought that A Qing, Wuming, and Mu Yingxiong, who were previously on the list, were still capable of competing with him, then Liu Bai's level of skill had already exceeded his comprehension.
This made him truly unable to believe that there could be a swordsman stronger than Liu Bai in this world.
On the white jade platform, Su Chen quietly sipped his tea until the surrounding chatter gradually subsided, then he spoke loudly:
"Next, let's comment on the next sword immortal on the list."
"Second place on the Sword Immortal Ranking: Su Xinghe."
"You may not recognize this sword immortal who made the list."
"To elaborate, he has a deep connection with the Jianghu of Beili."
"When I commented on the list of the most outstanding people in Beili before, I mentioned that there were four great families in this land more than two hundred years ago."
"And this Su Xinghe is none other than the patriarch of the Su family, one of the four great families."
"His talent is extremely high. He broke through to the Land Celestial Realm at a young age, and even reached the Celestial Great Longevity Realm."
"The reason he is unknown is because he shoulders an extremely important task—to guard the Kunlun Mountains in Bei!"
"Everyone knows that there is a heavenly realm in the sky."
"But few people know that beyond the human realm and the heavenly realm, there is a chaotic land inhabited by countless extraterrestrial demons."
"The origins of these demons are very complex; they have existed since ancient times."
"They have always been trying to conquer the world."
"In order to resist the invasion of demons from beyond the realm, the human world has had top experts guarding the five extreme realms for generations."
"Those are five spatial nodes connecting the outer realms and the human world, all located in hidden places."
“The Kunlun Mountains in Beijing that Su Xinghe guards are one of them, and he has been guarding them for five hundred years.”
"The remaining four extreme realms are guarded by the top experts from the Buddhist, Taoist, Confucian, and Demonic sects, respectively."
"Among the guardians of the five extreme realms, Su Xinghe can be said to be the weakest."
