I Have A Martial Dao World-Chapter 788 - 787. A frog at the bottom of a well
Chapter 788: 787. A frog at the bottom of a well Chapter 788: 787. A frog at the bottom of a well An Qisheng, born in the ancient Xia Dynasty.
At that time, the goal of people’s cultivation was simple, with only “longevity” in mind, which is why the Longevity Realm was so named.
This realm has existed for thousands of years, and its “size” is much larger than that of the Free Wander Realm, even bigger than Blue Star by a good margin, with a diameter of nearly 15,000 kilometers.
Such a scale was not solely the work of An Qisheng.
The man had an especially large number of disciples, plus the Thunder Tribulation Heavenly Monarchs who followed and hid here during the Demon God invasion.
Many people living together in the Longevity Realm, wandering through the myriad worlds, searching for clever devices as well as various Spiritual Objects.
With collective wisdom and effort, they managed this realm flourishingly.
...
But as An Qisheng’s life was coming to an end, and several Celestial Lords died at the hands of Lu Yao during the “turtle hunting” incident, the once fairy-like atmosphere here was gone.
The entire world was devoid of any greenery or vitality, filled with a monotonous yellow-brown hue.
Looking around, there was nothing but the dry, cracked earth that stretched out as far as the eye could see.
The air was permeated with a scent of decay, creating a strong sensation of hoarseness when breathed into the lungs.
Seeing the world on the brink of collapse, no one wanted to be buried with it.
At the foot of a towering mountain, the Realm Residents of the Longevity Realm were clamoring around a woman in white:
“Yao Xianzi, the Longevity Realm is failing, please go and ask the Immortal Venerable to come out and take charge!”
“Yao Xianzi, at the very least… let us out.”
“This suggestion is extremely reasonable; please let us out, Yao Xianzi!”
Entering and leaving the “Spirit Domain” is not something one can do at will; one must have the “authority.”
Besides the deceased Celestial Lords, only the “Yao Xianzi” that everyone was surrounding had the authority to do so.
This woman wore a flowing white dress, alluring in appearance, but with a pair of rabbit ears, clearly a Demon Race in Transformative Form.
She was An Qisheng’s “Demon Consort,” and she did not dare to make decisions on her own, but simply shook her head vehemently:
“Impossible, impossible, I dare not open the realm gate on my own, let’s wait for the Immortal Venerable to come out and decide.”
Upon hearing this, the crowd’s faces were a mix of light and dark.
With the Spirit Domain in such a state and no sign of An Qisheng, many suspected that the Immortal Venerable had already died.
Moreover, with the Celestial Lords gone and not returning, something must have gone wrong.
In such a situation, the Longevity Realm was clearly a dead end, like a ship about to sink, needing urgent plans for escape.
As such, everyone turned their gaze toward a handsome young man, faces full of hope.

This man had a long sword hanging from his waist and a folding fan in his hand, stepping forward in a calm demeanor, and said coldly:
“Yao Yutu, I am the direct 26th-generation descendant of our ancestor—An Yunrui, I now command you to open the realm gate immediately; we must go out and seek refuge!”
The man named An Yunrui spoke quite rudely, but after all, he was a direct descendant of the ancestor’s lineage.
In addition to the presence of other heirs of Celestial Lords there, Yao Yutu was overwhelmed and slightly panicked, but still clenched her teeth and resisted:
“Our ancestor strictly forbade anyone from going out at will, and especially from opening the realm gate. I cannot comply with your order!”
An Yunrui snapped his fan shut and said sternly, “Yao Yutu! You are just a Demon Consort, whence comes the audacity to obstruct the will of Immortal Venerable descendants!”
At these words, someone immediately chimed in with agreement: “A mere rabbit spirit dares to act like you’re really the Immortal Venerable’s woman!”
Hearing this, Yao Yutu trembled with rage. The status of a “Demon Consort” was almost like that of a favored concubine, entirely dependent on the master.
Just by looking at the state of the Longevity Realm, one could tell that An Qisheng was in dire straits, and naturally, no one respected her anymore.
However, just when tensions were about to erupt, An Yunrui changed his tone, no longer aggressive, and instead proposed a compromise:
“Since Yao Xianzi finds it inconvenient, how about this… We have already obtained the token from Celestial Lord Han, and we will leave on our own. You just need not to obstruct us. How does that sound?”
This was indeed the true intention of the person.
They had obtained the “Immortal Han Zhong of the White Deer’s” token, but were worried that Yao Yutu would cause trouble.
Therefore, they first proposed a demand that the other party would definitely not agree to, and then pretended to compromise, which was exactly the strategy of “advancing two steps to retreat one.”
Indeed, Yao Yutu, being of the Demon Race, wasn’t one for such roundabout tactics and agreed to the people’s request:
“Remember, you are choosing to leave on your own. The consequences are on you!”
“Of course, of course, it is us who insist on leaving today. Whatever happens in the future will be our own responsibility~”
As long as they could leave, everything else was negotiable, An Yunrui and the others revealed a look of joy!
An Yunrui even thought secretly: He had heard that the outside world’s heritage had been severed and the strongest were only at the Golden Body Realm.
Yet at that moment, there were as many as four present, including himself, who were of the Golden Body+Divine Manifestation stage! There were nearly 20 more who were at the ordinary Golden Body Realm!
Once out, it would be as vast as the sea for fish to leap, and as high as the sky for birds to soar!
The group of people couldn’t wait to cross the border and leave.
However, after the incident with the several Celestial Lords, the Longevity Realm had lost contact with the outside world, and these frogs in the well didn’t know that the world outside had already turned upside down.

Meanwhile, Lu Yao was showing the freshly created Free Wander Realm to the ladies.
As the “Spirit Domain” became a world with life, his power hadn’t seen any explosive increase.
But he had taken a big stride towards the goal of “perpetual life”!
Lu Yao’s hometown always liked to mention “internal circulation,” which had a subtle connection with the perpetual life he was pursuing.
Not dependent on the outside world, not affected by it, feasible in any environment—absolute freedom!
And most crucially, owning such a world was akin to having a “shelter.”
In case of any accident, Lu Yao could take people away to preserve the spark of civilization.
After all, the Guiyi God wasn’t easy to deal with—its prey were entire worlds, all of its attacks were “Planetary Level”…
At that moment, Lu Yao had a thought—the “shelter” wasn’t solely his own; there was also the Longevity Realm…
It seemed as if a preordained response was at work, just as he thought of this, the phone in Li Pei’s room rang.
Without a major issue, that phone would rarely sound.
Li Pei unfolded her movement technique and quickly answered the call, her expression growing more and more peculiar.
After hanging up, she said to everyone:
“A group of unidentified Great Grandmasters are causing chaos in Jinyang, among them four with Divine Manifestation Spirit Refining Stage.”
Upon hearing these words, the ladies felt puzzled. Liao Ya asked, “Great Grandmasters? Have they lost their minds?”
“Where did these people crawl out from, not having heard of Lu Xiaozi’s name?”
No sooner had Yu Yanmei finished speaking than she suddenly revealed a look of realization: “Could it be… the bandits who attacked the Xuan Gui Great Saint!?”
Lu Yao also entertained this idea, and with a sneer said, “Who exactly they are, we will know once we capture and interrogate them.”
Yu Yanmei and Liao Ya, who had been idly restless at home recently, and additionally had not found an opponent to test their post-Spirit Refinement Realm breakthrough on, now appeared eager to try!
Lu Yao hurriedly intervened: “Both of you are heavily pregnant, best not to run around. Just watch my methods.”
Having said that, an immense surge of divine intent thundered upwards into the heavens, rolling towards Jinyang like a tidal wave.
