Chapter 453: 252, Qi Fortune finally changed color, it’s gold turning black_2

On this side of the sheer cliff lay chunks of land connected by iron chains, whereas on the other side stretched a vast and distinctive continent.

This was the Nanzhan Continent, which existed as a giant mountainous landform, lower on the outside and higher on the inside.

If one could look down from above, the entire Nanzhan Continent appeared as a series of terraces with clear divisions, comprising nine layers from the lower to the uppermost.

The first through the third layers were inhabited by generations of farmers and shepherds.

The fourth through sixth layers housed the bureaucratic and official classes.

The seventh to ninth layers were the dwelling places of the nobility.

...

Ever since the establishment of the SuiGu Dynasty, such distinctions had been strictly enforced. Those of the agricultural and pastoral classes were only permitted to engage in farming and herding. Lacking any rights, they occupied the lowest stratum, living exclusively between the first and third layers.

This meant, regardless of their capabilities, those from agricultural and pastoral backgrounds could only reside up to the third layer.

Similarly, those who served as officials were confined to government service and could only live between the fourth and sixth layers.

However, even those born to this class could not ascend to the seventh layer!@@@@

The sixth layer was their limit.

The reason for this structure was because the founding emperor of the SuiGu Dynasty believed that the distribution of the world’s resources always flowed from the lower to the higher classes—the few at the bottom and the ample at the top. This monopolization of classes was deemed inevitable, hence he took it upon himself to solidify it.

With his unparalleled Immortal Heavenly Mastery, he established the foundational rules for the Nanzhan Continent.

Naturally, these nine layers represented not only physical height differences; the resources available at each layer were vastly different. The scene that Tan Shuchang witnessed from the other side of the cliff emerged after the “world-changing,” influenced by the Immortal regulations of the former SuiGu emperor, resulting in him observing the plundering of that area by the Nanzhan Continent.

This meant that this area was akin to the first layer of the Nanzhan Continent.

As the most inferior layer, the resources were incredibly sparse!

At this time, the news of the birth of the Peerless Evil had already reached the seventh layer of the Nanzhan Continent.

Chen Mansion!

In the seventh layer of the Nanzhan Continent, there were thirty-nine powerful and noble families, among which Chen Mansion stood prominent. The entire Chen Mansion possessed a complete line of Immortal Path heritage, and cultivating their ancestral Cultivation Technique to its ultimate potential could elevate one to the heights among immortals!

However, the Chens had not reached such a realm for a long time; otherwise, they would not have resided on the seventh layer but would have ascended to the eighth layer of the Nanzhan Continent!

Each layer’s resources differed vastly; elixirs were rare in the seventh layer, but by the eighth layer of the Nanzhan Continent, Elixirs had become common commodities, always available for trade.

No fear of having a price but no market, or a market but no price.

As for their status not being much lower, that was because if the gap was too large, even if the person had great talents, they could not reach the Seventh Layer of Nanzhan Continent.

And not reaching the Seventh Layer, what use would such friends be to him, Chen Tianzun?

As Chen Tianzun had expected, after he had someone invite them, his three close friends arrived quickly. Besides Dan Huansu, the other two were a man and a woman.

The man hailed from the Li Family of the Heavenly Dragon General Mansion and was named Li Longyi.

In the early days after the establishment of the ancient dynasty, there were 108 Heavenly Dragon Generals. Li’s ancestor was one of them.

Although the Heavenly Dragon Generals were all nobles, their status was not as prestigious as that of Chen Tianzun, the Princely Heir.

And that woman, named Feng Luo, came from overseas. While her father was unknown, many knew she was probably from a lost line of the Imperial Clan.

However, she had not become an immortal because she had not yet reached the Ninth Layer.

This woman named Feng Luo had cultivation close to that of Chen Tianzun, but Chen was a notch stronger.

Feng Luo and Li Longyi arrived together.

Dan Huansu was a step behind.

“Thank you all for coming!” Chen Tianzun couldn’t help but smile. With these three friends to assist, capturing the Peerless Evil seemed almost guaranteed in his view.

“Brother Chen, no need for pleasantries. Since we’re going to the cliff beyond, let’s set out immediately!” Li Longyi hurriedly spoke upon hearing the news, as the Li Family had naturally also received word of the Peerless Evil.

Furthermore, it was said that this news had already spread to the Eighth Layer of Nanzhan Continent.

“Good!”

Chen Tianzun nodded his head.

And so, the party of four set off.

Given that he was a Princely Heir, his mode of travel was naturally extraordinary—three Jiao Dragons cleared the path, cutting through the clouds continuously.

All three Jiao Dragons were proficient in Aerial Mastery, so within moments, they had flown out of Nanzhan Continent and then, within an hour, they had crossed that massive cliff and reached its beyond.

Originally, these three Jiao Dragons were to charge straight ahead, but Chen Tianzun called them to a halt.

“This untouched Barbaric Wasteland appeared suddenly twelve years ago,” Chen Tianzun said with a slightly solemn expression. “Although the unique treasures here have all moved up five layers, it’s not without dangers. To my knowledge, there is a black wind in this wasteland that severely injures any common immortal it blows against. We better proceed carefully.”

A newly emerged and unknown world, empty of treasures though it might be, still had many benefits for cultivators, not to mention potential secrets. But no major powers had come to explore this place, which naturally implied a reason.

You see, when this location first appeared, it claimed the lives of hundreds of immortals. And every immortal died without enemies.

For they all perished due to various fatal elements, like that black wind.
