Volume One: The Calamity of Liches Chapter 259: Qingxuan Establishes the Six Realms, Plans for the Immortal Realm

After hearing Qingxuan's words, Hongjun could not help but admire Qingxuan's profound foresight and deep scheming.

What Hongjun did not expect, however, was that Qingxuan's preparations went far beyond this.

With a wave of Qingxuan's hand toward the Primordial Land, countless spiritual roots once again appeared and took root.

Upon seeing Qingxuan produce so many Primordial Spiritual Roots all at once, Zhunti's eyes lit up instantly.

"Ahem!" Jieyin noticed Zhunti's expression and quickly signaled him to restrain himself.

Most importantly, every single spiritual root Qingxuan produced was of superior grade or higher.

"This... I must say, fellow Daoist Qingxuan is truly magnanimous. Apart from you, no one in the Primordial World could ever achieve this!"

Seeing Qingxuan casually pull out so many Primordial Spiritual Roots at once, both Hongjun and Yang Mei could not help exclaiming in admiration.

Hearing this, Qingxuan chuckled softly.

Seeing that Hongjun no longer attempted to stop him, Qingxuan manifested several Great Paths directly upon his person. Aside from the Dao of Creation, which had reached the Hunyuan Wuji realm, all the other paths were merely a step away from attaining the Hunyuan Wuji level.

This sight filled Hongjun with immense envy. One must remember that he had attained the Hunyuan realm by borrowing the power of the Heavenly Dao; now deeply trapped in the vortex of the Heavenly Dao, he wished to cast aside his Saintly position, yet could not bear to part with it.

As Qingxuan displayed his various Great Paths, he pointed a finger toward the Primordial Land.

At the same time, a faint golden light emerged from his body.

"Authority over Heaven and Earth!"

Hongjun's expression changed instantly.

Even though he was currently merged with the Heavenly Dao, he could only mobilize the foundational power of the Heavenly Dao itself.

When it came to the direct authority over Heaven and Earth, he fell somewhat short in certain aspects.

Following Qingxuan's gesture, Hongjun and the others noticed that the Primordial World seemed to be cleaved into several distinct spaces.

The next moment, they saw several realms suddenly detach themselves from the Primordial Land.

Among them was the territory of the Wu clan surrounding Mount Buzhou.

Qingxuan produced five nine-grade lotus platforms and waved them toward this newly formed space, where they rapidly merged into it.

Then, Qingxuan pressed down with his massive palm, directly positioning this realm beneath the Sea of Blood and under the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

"The Wu clan has an affinity with the earth. From now on, let this serve as the living space for the Wu clan. We shall call it the Wu Realm!"

Following that, Qingxuan pointed toward the Northern Continent. The northern territories—where Bai Ze and the remaining remnants of the Monster clan still resided—were encircled by Qingxuan's supreme power and transformed into a new space.

This realm was then placed directly by Qingxuan in the expanse between the Nine Heavens and the north.

"Where the Monster clan dwells shall henceforth be known as the Monster Realm!" Five more lotus platforms then integrated into this space.

In an instant, countless members of the Monster clan perceived this monumental change, yet they could only watch helplessly, entirely powerless. To Bai Ze's comfort, the spiritual Qi of the newly formed Monster Realm remained quite rich for the time being.

Next, Qingxuan successively partitioned the Dragon Realm, the Qilin Realm, the Phoenix Realm, and the Demon Realm.

Among them, the Dragon Realm was dominated by aquatic beings, with over eighty percent of its space consisting of waters connected to the Four Seas.

The Qilin Realm was characterized by vast mountain ranges, which Qingxuan linked directly to countless mountain veins.

The Phoenix Realm, inhabited by the Phoenix clan, was practically a world of volcanoes and raging flames, connected by Qingxuan to the Undying Volcano.

As for the final Demon Realm, it was linked to Luohu's Heavenly Demon Realm.

Once all these tasks were completed, the majority of beings remaining upon the main Primordial Land were humans.

"From now on, the Primordial Land shall be centered upon the human race. Let the living space of humanity be known as the Mortal Realm!"

Having listened to Qingxuan's words, they all turned their gaze toward him.

"Now that the Primordial Land has become much smaller, is this not somewhat improper?"

"What could possibly be improper? The various clans no longer reside within the Primordial Land proper, and besides, is there not another world awaiting their exploration?"

Hearing their doubts, Qingxuan spoke calmly.

With a flick of his hand, the Earth Immortal Realm appeared directly within their line of sight.

Presently, the Earth Immortal Realm was already half the size of the former Primordial World.

"In the future, the development and propagation of all clans shall take place partly within their respective realms, while the remainder shall be placed here in the Earth Immortal Realm!"

As Qingxuan's voice faded, they all realized that the Earth Immortal Realm was now directly connected to the worlds of the various clans, and even to the Primordial Land itself.

"I presume you must have noticed by now that tremendous changes have already taken place within the Primordial World."

Qingxuan directed his gaze toward the Three Pure Ones, the Two Sages of the West, and others.

Upon hearing his words, they quickly nodded.

While this was not yet entirely obvious among the other clans, it was most pronounced within the human race created by Nüwa.

Clan members who had attained the Celestial Immortal level or above were becoming increasingly scarce.

The vast majority were now below the Celestial Immortal realm, appearing exceptionally weak even when confronted by entities at the Celestial Immortal level.

"All of this is due to the birth of the Earth Immortal Realm, and naturally, it is also connected to the continuous evolution of the Primordial World."

As Qingxuan finished speaking, they all turned to look at Hongjun, who nodded in confirmation.

Following Qingxuan's explanation, everyone understood that the human race stood a supreme chance of becoming the protagonists of Heaven and Earth in the Primordial World.

They understood that this was decreed by Heaven.

Barring any unforeseen catastrophes, this destiny would remain unalterable.

Yet what they currently observed in the human race completely contradicted their expectations.

"How... how can this be? The human race is so weak right now; why would the Heavenly Dao choose them? Previously, when the Monster clan was so powerful, why couldn't they become the protagonists of Heaven and Earth? If all else failed, was there not still the Wu clan?"

They simply could not comprehend it. Even Nüwa, the creator of humanity, failed to understand why the human race had suddenly become the protagonists of the Primordial World.

Hearing them mention the Wu clan, Jumang stepped forward to reply:

"Spare us. We of the Wu clan harbor no ambitions whatsoever to become the protagonists of Heaven and Earth. Even if you hold no faith in the human race, do not drag the Wu clan into this!"

The Wu clan of the present was no longer plagued by the erosion of malevolent Qi, and even their primordial spirits had naturally fused completely with their physical bodies.

Instead, having received Qingxuan's assistance and guidance through his grand planning, every single Ancestral Witch now saw things with absolute clarity. As long as the Primordial World endured, the duty of the Wu clan was to protect the Primordial World—not to scramble for the role of Heavenly protagonists!

"Since this matter has been ordained by the Heavenly Dao, it naturally has its underlying logic!"

Hearing Hongjun's words, Qingxuan could not help but praise him silently: *As expected of Hongjun, he comprehends the reasoning behind it so quickly.*

Of course, Qingxuan suspected that another person who understood was likely Taiji.

"From now on, let the Earth Immortal Realm serve as the arena of contention for the myriad clans of the Primordial World. Beings below the immortal level of all clans shall dwell within the Earth Immortal Realm. Once their strength reaches the immortal level, they may choose to ascend into the Primordial World!"

As Qingxuan's voice fell, his words carried the weight of the Heavenly Dao itself, compelling countless living beings to obey.

Perhaps this seemed cruel to certain entities, but only a race like humanity—which had experienced the historical slaughter inflicted by the Monster clan—could truly understand that this was, in disguise, a form of protection.

At this moment, many were still unaware that while Qingxuan permitted beings below the Celestial Immortal level to inhabit the Earth Immortal Realm, it did not mean those at or above the Celestial Immortal level were barred from entering; rather, such beings would simply be subject to numerous restrictions!
