Chapter 1064 4th Heaven

They were currently near an unimaginably vast ocean of nebulae.

Billions of stars, large and small, bright and dim, are born, die, and flow within it.

Some stars are just beginning to take shape, some are in their prime, and many more slowly dim, expand, and finally return to nothingness after a silent, magnificent explosion, turning into stardust and returning to chaos.

Countless enormous nebulae danced, intertwined, collided, and merged like colorful ribbons, dazzling and mesmerizing the assembled geniuses.

"Is this the Fourth Heaven of the Immortal Realm?" the crowd exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right, this is the Fourth Heaven. How about it? Isn't it fast?"

Iron Feather Demon Immortal chuckled and said, "It is said that countless epochs ago, before the [Universe Immortal Venerable] had attained the Venerable status, there was no Great Void in the Immortal Realm... Traveling back then was truly agonizing. Even great supernatural beings like Golden Immortals and Dao Lords could only obediently fly in the mortal world, which greatly limited communication and exchange among the major forces in the Immortal Realm."

"Later, when the Great Void took shape, even Mahayana cultivators could travel through it to reach various parts of the Immortal Realm quickly. The speed of information flow throughout the Immortal Realm suddenly increased many times over, and all sorts of extraordinary skills and techniques emerged in an explosive manner. This is why there are more and more geniuses who have become Monarchs and Venerables."

"You are fortunate to have this opportunity today, and you owe it all to the [Immortal Venerable of the Universe]!"

"But... why does this place look so much like the Second Heaven?" one of the prodigies asked, looking at the enormous nebula in the distance.

“No, it’s different.” The other person shook his head and retorted, “Have you ever seen any star field in the Second Heaven with such a large nebula, with so many stars coming and going? We are extremely far away from that nebula now, and the scenery is still so spectacular. I estimate that the size of this nebula is probably equivalent to ten thousand large star fields in the Second Heaven!”

"Hehe, hold on tight, we're heading to the next [realm]."

As soon as the Iron Feather Demon Immortal finished speaking, the distant nebula scene receded rapidly like quicksand, changing shape.

The colors and textures around us changed drastically. One moment it was a vast expanse of stars rising and falling, and the next moment, a scorching wave of heat rushed towards us!

They stumbled into a land engulfed in flames.

As far as the eye could see, there was a surging sea of ​​lava and fire, with crimson, golden, and even iridescent waves of flame rising and falling, roaring and churning.

A powerful fire giant appeared before them. The fire giant turned its head and seemed to have discovered the ritual disc, and suddenly roared angrily.

"Where did that nebula go... Wait, who is this fire giant?!"

A prodigy, his face pale, exclaimed, "A True Immortal! This fire giant is a True Immortal!"

The fire giant breathed fire at them, but just as everyone was in despair, the fire seemed to pass right through their bodies, as if it were an illusion, without causing them any real harm.

"Heh, a mere fire spirit at the True Immortal level with low intelligence dares to presume to break through the treasure guarding my Void Raven Palace?" Iron Feather Demon Immortal sneered.

"Don't worry, with me controlling this treasure, you won't encounter any danger in the Fourth Heaven!"

"We're about to cross into the next [realm]!"

Before everyone could recover from their shock, the scene changed rapidly once again.

The blazing sea of ​​fire was instantly replaced by endless ice and snow.

Snowflakes drifted down from the sky, and in the distance, glaciers stood majestically like mountains. Even though people were far away from the icebergs, they could still feel their coldness.

Then, the ice and snow disappeared once again... Afterwards, the group arrived in an endless deep sea, where a huge shadow flashed past them, bringing a chilling sense of oppression.

"Why is the scenery around us constantly changing?" Tianjiao wondered.

Jian Yunyuan seemed to know the reason, and simply explained:

"This is what the Four Heavens are like."

“Each heaven in the Immortal Realm is different. The first heaven is just like an ordinary lower realm, with scarce resources and limited space. There’s nothing to say about it.”

"The Second Heaven is composed of star fields made up of individual stars, and then these star fields are further composed of individual star fields."

"The Third Heaven is currently the most vast, consisting of numerous floating islands, some of which are almost the size of the entire First Heaven."

"And the [Four Heavens]? They are composed of individual [realms]."

"You can think of these [realms] as bubbles squeezed together, and what we just passed through was the outer wall of these bubbles."

"However, since the [Four Heavens] are still in the stage of creation and evolution, the boundaries between these bubbles are not yet clear, and there are often cases where two realms invade each other."

"Once the Four Heavens are fully developed, the barriers between these realms will stabilize. However, it will be a hundred times more difficult to cross these barriers then than it is now."

"As time goes on, until the end of the era, there will be [Five Heavens], [Six Heavens], [Seven Heavens]... all the way up to dozens of heavens."

"Each realm has a different environment, as well as different opportunities and rare treasures."

"Therefore, the closer to the end of an era, the more vast and boundless the Immortal Realm becomes, the more abundant its resources, and the easier it is for cultivators to break through their cultivation levels."

Jian Yunyuan joked, "Cultivators these days haven't caught up with the good times... But there are advantages and disadvantages. The Golden Immortals who condensed immortal golden nature at the end of the era didn't have time to perfect their path, so they naturally had no hope of becoming a Proving Monarch and could only perish along with the Great Calamity of the Era."

"For a prodigy who is confident of attaining the Golden Immortal rank, being born at the beginning of an era is the best, because after attaining the Golden Immortal rank, one can have unlimited lifespan to perfect one's path, and who knows, there might be an opportunity to become a Monarch within this era."

"For cultivators who have no hope of becoming Golden Immortals, the end of the era is better. After all, they have no hope of immortality. Being born in the resource-rich end of the era might give them the chance to break through another major realm and live for many more years."

As they were talking, the surrounding scenery changed rapidly, switching between dozens of different environments, each representing a new realm.

They encountered countless dangers along the way, including various primordial beings of the fourth level with cultivation at the True Immortal level, but none of them could have any effect on the geniuses in the ritual disk.

Even those with strong wills like Jing Yu and Jian Yunyuan were moved by the sight, secretly rejoicing that they had this treasure to protect them.

Finally, after countless dramatic shifts in the scene, the Iron Feather Demon Immortal's voice, tinged with solemnity, resounded in everyone's minds:

"Ahead lies the true boundary of the Fourth Heaven of the Immortal Realm."

Everyone looked up at the same time.

At the edge of the field of vision, an endless, turbulent flow of chaotic energy surged and churned, eventually merging into the endless darkness and flowing into a dark domain.

"That place where no light, sound, or color can reach is the edge of the Immortal Realm. Beyond that lies the Dark Realm."
