A moment later, a figure appeared before Li Xuan. Li Xuan looked up and saw that it was the Night Emperor returning.
"Have your sister come out," the Night Emperor said with a smile as he looked at Li Xuan.
Li Xuan nodded at this. With a thought, he brought Li Yao out from the Prison Suppressor.
"The Blood Devouring Tribe has returned to the main lineage. From now on, all beings in your four-dimensional space who meet the conditions for ascension can enter here," the Night Emperor said to Li Xuan after glancing at Li Yao.
Li Xuan's heart stirred, and he immediately asked, "Senior, where is this place?"
Li Yao also looked at the Night Emperor curiously, as she had felt that the spiritual energy and even the rules of this place were denser and more complete than those in the four-dimensional space when she had just emerged.
"This is the five-dimensional world, arguably the only five-dimensional world. Well, above the four-dimensional space, every world space exists as a single independent entity," the Night Emperor said after some thought.
"Night Emperor, Senior, can I understand that there is more than one four-dimensional space?" Li Xuan frowned at this.
The Night Emperor smiled and nodded, then said, "Actually, the three-dimensional space you were in before is also not unique. Just like on a piece of paper, you can have many points. If you fold a piece of paper, it becomes irregular. And this five-dimensional world is the 'fold'."
"If it's the longest fold, then there will only be one. You can also think of it as a dividing point, from which the concept of above and below originates. Of course, if it involves parallel spaces, the concept is different. Well, in a sense, parallel spaces do not exist. In my understanding, there is only one five-dimensional world."
"After all, world spaces that surpass the five-dimensional world all ascend from the five-dimensional world. Of course, these are not things you can comprehend yet. When your strength reaches that level in the future, you will naturally understand."
Li Xuan looked at Li Yao, half-understanding. Knowing too much with his current strength would not be beneficial. On the other hand, Li Yao would need to survive in this five-dimensional world from now on.
"I think I can roughly understand what you mean, Senior. So, the five-dimensional world we are currently in is not the end of this world. The road ahead is still very long," Li Yao said after some thought.
The Night Emperor nodded slightly. "Keep striving. When your strength reaches the ceiling of this five-dimensional world, you will discover many interesting things. This world has no end. Only when you reach that point will you know the true nature of this world."
Li Xuan and Li Yao nodded in unison. The road ahead was indeed long.
"Brother, what are your plans next?" Li Yao looked at Li Xuan and asked.
Li Xuan shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I originally just wanted to send you here. I really don't have any other plans. But since we're already in this five-dimensional world, let's observe the situation here for a while."
The Night Emperor pondered for a moment and then said, "With your current strength, it would be best to find a sect to join. As for your sister, she will not be lacking in sect choices."
Li Xuan gave a wry smile. This was no different from saying his strength was insufficient to impress the powers in the five-dimensional world.
However, Li Xuan didn't mind. His strength was indeed a bit lacking. But it wasn't impossible to improve. Li Xuan hadn't had a good period of secluded cultivation recently, and with the Prison Suppressor, his strength could improve rapidly.
Boom!
With a roar, the heavens and earth were filled with multicolored auspicious clouds. The auspicious clouds all fell onto Li Yao, and under Li Xuan's watchful eyes, Li Yao's aura surged.
"All things are born from the primal, and nine returns to one. You have a good foundation, girl. To reach the intermediate stage of the Guiyi realm upon breakthrough is surprising. Many forces will likely clamor for you," the Night Emperor said in surprise.
Li Xuan's heart stirred. Was the realm above the Chengdao realm the Guiyi realm?
Hum!
Just as Li Xuan was about to speak, a humming sound echoed. In the next moment, several figures appeared before Li Xuan.
Li Xuan's expression turned serious, as he felt immense pressure from all four figures.
Clearly, these four individuals were extremely powerful.
"What a prodigy! To be able to leapfrog realms during the celestial phenomenon," an old man stroked his beard and praised Li Yao.
"Sect Master Jing Wen, if I recall correctly, your Lingxiao Sect does not accept female disciples, right?" a graceful figure spoke up as the old man finished speaking. She appeared to be only in her early twenties.
However, Li Xuan was no novice fresh out of the martial world. Someone who could speak to an elder in such a manner would naturally be powerful. With such a youthful appearance, she was likely someone who had maintained her looks through cultivation. Her true age was probably known only to herself.
"Bing Ling'er, that's not entirely true. Although our Lingxiao Sect rarely accepts female disciples, it doesn't mean we don't accept them at all. Such a prodigy joining my Lingxiao Sect would perfectly fill that gap," Jing Wen replied, shaking his head.
"There's no need to argue. We are all here for this young lady. Let's see how she chooses," a dignified middle-aged man said, glancing at Jing Wen and Bing Ling'er before shifting his gaze to Li Yao.
Soon, with the enthusiastic introductions from the four, Li Xuan understood.
Jing Wen was the Sect Master of the Lingxiao Sect.
Bing Ling'er was the Palace Mistress of the Ice Palace.
The middle-aged man was named Shan Qu, the Sect Master of the Qingyang Sect.
The remaining middle-aged woman was named Guan Qin, the Palace Mistress of the Yi Hua Palace.
Through their general explanations, Li Xuan and Li Yao learned that their current location was in the southern part of this five-dimensional world. The five-dimensional world could be considered a vast continent. In this southern region, these two sects and two palaces held the greatest influence.
To be recognized by such top forces was a testament to Li Yao's talent. Li Xuan was very pleased about this. As long as Li Yao joined any of these four factions, her safety would no longer be a concern.
Under their watchful eyes, Li Yao pondered for a moment and then said, "If I join you, can I bring my brother along?"
Li Xuan was stunned. He clearly hadn't expected Li Yao to have such a plan. Bing Ling'er and the other three seemed somewhat surprised. After exchanging glances, their gazes fell upon Li Xuan.
But soon, all four of them frowned. A peak Dunyi realm cultivation level was not even enough to qualify as an inner disciple.
"Yao'er, you don't need to worry about me," Li Xuan said with a smile, seeing their predicament.
Li Yao's brow furrowed. The change in their expressions had not escaped her observation.
"You can choose for yourself. Your brother has his own path to walk," the Night Emperor said slowly.
Li Yao looked at Li Xuan. With his nod, Li Yao then shifted her gaze to Bing Ling'er.
"I choose to join the Ice Palace."
