Chapter 438: Chapter 436: Special Features of Each Region

The Five Elements Secret Realm is unimaginably vast, even larger than an entire domain. The abundance of Five Elements Primordial Qi here has attracted many Martial Artists for training, with some even choosing to settle permanently. After tens of thousands of years of development, this place naturally has left behind numerous descendants. Some have limited talent and naturally low cultivation, though “low” is relative—after all, this is the Five Elements Secret Realm, where the Five Elements Primordial Qi is as vast as the sea; even a pig pushed hard enough here could reach Postnatal Perfection, incomparable to the Xuan Gui Continent or Luoxing Islands.

Clack, clack, clack, clack!

The rhythmic sound of footsteps echoed from the other end of the street as a platoon of soldiers, a hundred strong, marched in unison. Each wore earthy yellow armor and held long spears, exuding immense power. Upon closer inspection, one would find these individuals were all Martial Artists of the Transcendent Realm.

Fortunately, Zhong Lin was unfazed by this sight, having been through the trials of Heavenly Sword City.

Although Martial Arts Cultivation resembles a pyramid, with fewer people as one ascends, it also depends on the geographical location. Experts who are rare to find in the Luoxing Islands might be considered the lowest tier here.

The two of them strolled leisurely along the wide streets of Buyan, with Zhong Lin’s eyes wandering, observing the local customs and culture.

Overall… it’s chaotic, reminiscent of a bustling international metropolis from his previous life, with a mix of different races, customs, and attire, exuding a distinctive chaotic disorder.

The Five Elements Secret Realm is an open-type secret realm located throughout the Eastern Desolate. Hence, it gathers Martial Artists from various regions of the East Desolation Ten Domains.

The East Desolation Ten Domains—Sword, Blade, Battle, Fire, Clan, Cold, Thunder, Flower, Beast, Buddha—each has its own unique characteristics. When these people gather together, it fills the place with a sense of disorder.

“Junior Brother, see those bald heads over there? Those are from the Buddha Domain. Stay away from them; their Martial Arts are extremely peculiar and not good,” Chi Zhonglin transmitted his voice.

Zhong Lin followed his gaze, noticing a few Martial Artists in yellow monk robes and bald heads walking down the street.

Among them, one monk radiated golden light all over, with a robust build and skin that glowed as if made of gold.

Another monk had a withered face, resembling a dried tree, yet his entire being emanated a serene and harmonious aura, quite eerie.

Seeing this group of monks reminded Zhong Lin of the Buddha Domain martial arts displayed by Wu Hong during the Outer Sect competition. With one punch, it seemed like time and space suddenly froze; colors, light, scents, and sounds lost their vividness, becoming unconscious, eyeless, and earless, as if thoughts ceased to exist.

If it weren’t for Wu Hong’s insufficient cultivation that allowed him to break free with a punch, he might have truly been entangled by him.

“Those people should be from the Sword Domain, right? The Sword Domain is quite similar to our Sword Domain, but one mainly cultivates swords while the other cultivates blades. I’ll introduce you to some friends from the Sword Domain later.”

Zhong Lin also saw in the distance a few rugged men in black robes carrying long swords on their backs. Each of their blades had different styles: there was a demon-headed broadsword, a crescent moon curved sword, and a horse-cutting broadsword taller than a person. However, without exception, the Sword Intent emanating from them made people instinctively keep their distance, unable to approach.

Not far from this group were some people playing with cats and walking dogs, though their cats seemed more like tigers and their dogs more like lions.

“Senior Brother, those people are from the Beast Domain, right?”

“Indeed, the people of this domain might not have strong self-cultivation, but they excel in controlling demon beasts. They even have Secret Techniques that can temporarily merge humans and demon beasts, unleashing power far beyond those of either.”

The two walked along the way, with Chi Zhonglin acting as a guide for the curious Zhong Lin, giving him the most direct understanding of the East Desolation Ten Domains.

There’s no need to mention the Sword Domain and Blade Domain; people from the Battle Domain are generally tall and muscular, focusing primarily on Body Refinement. Their physique is the strongest among the Ten Domains.

Due to environmental reasons, the Fire, Cold, and Thunder Domains focus on these three attributes, and their Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills are the same. Apart from people from the Fire Domain, encounters with the Cold Domain and Thunder Domain in the Five Elements Secret Realm are rare.

The Flower Domain, also known as Baihua Domain, is a place where spring lasts all year, and flowers bloom in abundance. The Martial Artists there are not prone to fighting, but the healing abilities of their Cultivation Techniques are remarkably effective. They are also the most popular people, and the Flower Domain is known for producing beauties, with Martial Artists exuding robust Qi-Blood, so…

The Beast Domain excels at manipulating demon beasts and handling gu insects, while the Buddha Domain specializes in Buddhism, each with its own characteristics.

The last is the Fang Domain, previously called “Clan Domain.” Unlike other domains governed by sects and Holy Lands, this domain is divided by clans and aristocratic families, practicing the Ninth Grade Zhongzheng System. In Top Grade, there are no commoners; in Low Grade, there are no aristocrats.

The largest family in the Fang Domain is the Fang Family, the only super family exceeding the Ninth Grade Zhongzheng System, which is why the domain was renamed from “Clan Domain” to “Fang Domain.”

After understanding the characteristics of each domain, Zhong Lin was amazed, full of curiosity about each domain.

As they walked, Chi Zhonglin’s footsteps suddenly paused, his eyes fixated on something ahead.

Zhong Lin also halted and followed Chi Zhonglin’s gaze, seeing a woman in green standing at the corner ahead.

The woman was as graceful as mist and water, like a fairy of the waves or a water spirit from the river. Her appearance was ethereal, like a lotus in clear water, especially with a faint flower mark on her forehead, adding to her mystery.

Zhong Lin glanced at the woman in the distance, then at his Second Senior Brother’s expression, raising an eyebrow, a knowing smile gradually appearing on his face.

“Senior Brother, who is that young lady?”

“That’s Miss Lu Luo from the Flower Domain.”

“The one you hold dear?”

“Mm, mm?”

Chi Zhonglin instinctively nodded, then his expression changed drastically. He hurriedly shook his head and retorted, “What nonsense are you talking about? Miss Lu Luo only saved me once; don’t ruin her reputation.”

Chi Zhonglin’s words were righteous and stern, but if one looked closely, they would notice his eyes full of evasion, and his face slightly blushing, clearly speaking against his true emotions.

“Oh… a life-saving grace! A beauty saving a hero, that’s even more interesting.” Zhong Lin chuckled mischievously.

“You… don’t talk nonsense.”

Chi Zhonglin almost jumped up to cover Zhong Lin’s mouth, afraid he might blurt out something shocking for everyone to hear.

“I didn’t say anything. Why are you so anxious? Could there really be some unspeakable secret?” Zhong Lin teased with a half-smile.

As they spoke, Miss Lu Luo in the distance also saw Chi Zhonglin. Her eyes lit up slightly, and she walked over.

“Little Brother Chi.”

Her voice was like a spring breeze, warm and gentle, making one irresistibly want to approach her.

Chi Zhonglin shuddered slightly, ignored the Zhong Lin beside him, and smiled broadly, “Miss Lu Luo, what a coincidence to meet you again.”

“Coincidence? I’ve been at the Flowers Pavilion for a hundred years, and you never thought to visit me.”

Lu Luo pouted slightly, showing a discontented expression. But if one observed closely, one would notice her eyes full of brotherly affection, like an elder sister doting on her younger brother.
