Chapter 903: Chapter 470: The Legend of Taicang, the Origin of the Domain_2
“Until one day, I encountered another True Spirit with Spiritual Wisdom…”
Tian Zi was recounting stories about Taicang, from the birth of Taicang to its rise to prominence, all tales that Taicang had once shared with Tian Zi.
Li Xuan listened quietly, the more he heard, the more in awe he became, Taicang was indeed a legend.
From the moment Taicang met the first True Spirit with Spiritual Wisdom, changes began to appear in the Land of Imperishable, more and more creatures with Spiritual Wisdom emerged.
And these intelligent beings kept on growing stronger, influenced by Taicang, such as their preference to take human form.
For instance, they also devised their own Cultivation Methods by pondering Taicang’s Path of Cultivation.
If one were to trace the origin of the cultivation path of the Land of Imperishable’s beings, it seemed to start with Taicang, all influenced by him.
Taicang guided many creatures in cultivation, and as a result, he attracted a group of followers around him.
At first, Taicang and his peers were not the strongest in the Land of Imperishable, but gradually they reached the pinnacle, and very few True Spirits could rival them.
Besides Taicang, some talented beings also emerged in the Land of Imperishable.
“The Land of Imperishable is chaotic, it lacks a Domain, not even the concept of Heaven and Earth exists, Taicang and others all lived, wandering within the Land of Imperishable.
“Countless years passed, Taicang grew weary of aimlessly drifting and being without a stable home, he finally settled in a place within the Land of Imperishable.
“He made it his home, spent most of his time pondering the Path of Cultivation, occasionally traveling to collect materials for research.
“Other beings also did much the same, finding a place to call home, occasionally venturing out, yet living in peace with each other.
“After all, in the entire Land of Imperishable, only they possessed Spiritual Wisdom, even when conflicts erupted, they restrained themselves, and often a more powerful, respected figure would step in to resolve them.
“For instance, Taicang would preside over fairness, impartially mediating some disputes.”
Tian Zi sighed and said, “Originally, such days could have continued indefinitely, it wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing, but how can things in this world always go smoothly.
“With Chaotic Imperishable’s haziness, wise beings naturally sought more, wishing to change the environment they lived in.
“Thus, Taicang collected materials and forged treasures that emitted light, bringing brightness, and even various colors of light to the Land of Chaotic Imperishable.
“A group of them pursued the beauty within it, and thus conflicts were triggered, gradually forming several small factions, but none of this affected Taicang.
“Taicang was proud, and the strongest, naturally, the creatures following him were the most numerous, other small factions had their own camps, yet respected Taicang.
“If a major conflict erupted, they would still seek Taicang to mediate and maintain fairness…”
As Tian Zi narrated, Li Xuan couldn’t help but marvel, Taicang was truly extraordinary.
And to this point, there was still no mention of a Domain or a change in the Domain, which meant that while Taicang had forged luminous treasures to see splendors in the Land of Chaotic Imperishable, no Domain existed yet.
Tian Zi continued the storytelling, somewhat lengthy, somewhat meandering, many times detailing Taicang’s daily affairs, occasionally mediating conflicts, or subduing challengers.
Occasionally, Tian Zi displayed a sense of loneliness, even mocking Taicang’s arrogance.
Yet Li Xuan could see that Tian Zi held deep feelings for Taicang.
After all, in some sense, Taicang had created him.
“Taicang grew stronger, throughout the Land of Imperishable, no True Spirit was a match for him, at that time, Taicang was the foremost strong entity in the Land of Imperishable.
“Of course, besides Taicang, there were six other exceedingly powerful figures, far surpassing other beings.
“However, they were still much weaker compared to Taicang, and due to differences in their beings and cultivation, they formed different factions.
“Occasionally, minor skirmishes broke out, but they were trivial matters.”
Here, Tian Zi paused.
Li Xuan did not urge him on, he continued quietly sipping his tea, fully immersing himself as a listener.
“Senior, you should know how the Domain came to be, right?”
Tian Zi’s expression became solemn.
The emergence of the Domain was tied to his own existence.
“In the Land of Chaotic Imperishable, only the places where Taicang and his peers gathered emitted light, naturally attracting some Imperishable True Spirits. Some True Spirits would be hunted, others tamed and turned into mounts.
“Until one day, a purple light appeared at the edge of the Land of Chaotic Imperishable.
“It is uncertain if the purple light truly emerged from the edge of the Land of Chaotic Imperishable, but at that time, Taicang and the others felt like it originated from there.
“The purple light illuminated the chaos as if splitting the Land of Imperishable in half, traversing the entire realm, it was the first time the Land of Chaotic Imperishable had been illuminated.
“Of course, it was the first time for Taicang and the others to witness it, whether it occurred before their birth remains unknown.
“The appearance of the purple light, whether for Taicang or others, was recognized as a great opportunity.
“True Spirits without opened Spiritual Wisdom were startled by the purple light, fleeing outside of it in panic, while Taicang and his peers rushed towards it…”
Li Xuan felt his heart racing with excitement.
The appearance of the purple light also signified the impending creation of the Domain.
“Everyone competed for the purple light, Taicang, being the strongest, naturally obtained the most and the brightest portion of it.
“All acquired opportunities from the purple light, but its application was unknown.
“Taicang, however, used the purple light to carve a vast domain within the Land of Chaotic Imperishable, which elevated him further.
“The other six followed Taicang’s example, using the purple light to open domains, while others, merely dependents of Taicang and the six, carved out their own places within it.
“I am a part of that purple light, and when Taicang opened the domain, he reserved a portion to nurture within, from which I was born.
“The Seven Great Domains, with Taicang being the most revered, also the most perfect and vast domain.”
By this point, Tian Zi’s eyes reddened as though tears would fall any second.
Li Xuan felt shaken, the Seven Great Domains, with Taicang as the supreme!
Seven domains existed, and the Taicang Domain was the strongest and most immense.
Aside from the Taicang Domain, six other domains existed.
Li Xuan pondered the Netherworld and Witch Demon…probably two of the remaining six domains.
“Senior mentioned that the Taicang Domain lacks certain elements, and the Taicang Domain seemed too weak, yet in truth, it was the strongest and most perfect.
“The Domain ran with complete laws and principles, Spiritual Energy mild, and Domain Spirit Spark lively, all terrain present, unmatched by other six domains.
“Taicang’s strength garnered him rightful ascendancy, always the leader.
“As the Domain matured, after a long growth period, it reached its peak and took full shape.
“True Spirits from outside the Imperishable Land entered, gradually acquiring Spiritual Wisdom, dividing into Domain True Spirits and Imperishable True Spirits.
“In fact, after the birth of a domain, True Spirit referred specifically to wise ones, while Imperishable True Spirit meant those lacking such wisdom, representing the uneducated ones.
“The Human Clan was also born, and various beings preferred human forms, all influenced by Taicang.
“Taicang propagated Martial Arts, cultivators appeared within domains, the Seven Great Domains interacted and learned from each other, each seeking places suitable for their cultivation.
“Everything was harmonious, prosperous, Taicang and his six peers were Masters of Domains, with Taicang as the supreme, revered by all cultivators.
“The Domain acquired time, a record of years passed, since its creation, many years wandered by, forgotten now even by me.
“Until one day, Taicang and the six gathered together, gazing into the depths of the Land of Imperishable, seemingly discovering something…”
