Normally, all domains where living beings exist are domains that can grow. These domains stretch across the stellar space, gathering and absorbing the omnipresent stellar space energy, expanding themselves, and gradually enhancing the foundation and level of their world.

However, this process is quite slow. Each time the world's level is raised, it can take hundreds of thousands to millions of years, and the higher the world's level, the slower the progression.

Yet the vastness of stellar space contains many wonders, and there are always a few special domains in this world that can devour the depth of other domains to enhance themselves. These domains are called growth-type domains.

They possess abilities that ordinary domains do not have.

In the currently expansive stellar space, the most powerful domains, nine out of ten, are such growth-type domains.

Because they are special, they are also rare. Although the domain from which the young man hails is sufficiently powerful, it is not a growth-type domain. Having wandered across the stellar space for so many years, he had seen numerous domains, but this was the first time he encountered a growth-type domain.

Such a domain is extremely precious because once it grows to a certain extent, it can even reach the level where spirit jade is born within the domain!

The reason why those top-tier domains can continuously birth more powerful cultivators is that they are not lacking cultivation resources. Ordinary cultivators need to search for spirit jade in stellar space, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and full of dangers. But cultivators from those big domains have enough spirit jade veins within their own domains to satisfy their cultivation needs.

Of course, the domain called Nine Provinces at present is far from reaching such a level. But since it is a growth-type domain, as long as there are enough supplies, it will eventually reach that level.

Such a domain is extremely precious to a cultivator like him.

Especially since the domain called Nine Provinces currently has no strong cultivators guarding it, only a group of Constellation cultivators who are just stepping into the stellar space. Once he descends, he will undoubtedly reign supreme, beyond the capability of resistance!

The young man couldn't help but laugh. Indeed, there is fortune in misfortune. A hundred years ago, he was hunted down to the brink of death and forced to hide in a meteorite crevice, feigning death to heal. Upon waking up, he unexpectedly discovered such a treasure domain. Time and fate, who can tell them apart?

He spread his form, soaring into the air, and headed in the direction of Nine Provinces.

This time he didn't care about exposing his whereabouts. Since he intended to seize a domain, his movements couldn't stay hidden. Compared to the benefits he could gain in the future, taking some risks was justified.

The meteorite he hid in exploded with a thunderous sound, and Zhao Shoumu's corpse was instantly reduced to ash.

His form transformed into a streak of rainbow radiance, imposing and majestic.

Near the Nine Provinces stellar space, several newly ascended Constellation Realm powerhouses were searching for spirit jade. From afar, they saw this rainbow radiance streaking towards Nine Provinces, all amazed because the speed was too fast, beyond their understanding.

No one knew what happened, nor did anyone know the essence of the rainbow radiance. They strained their eyes to observe, but in the next instant, each of them trembled in shock, their eyes pained as if they witnessed something they shouldn't have seen. For those close by, crimson blood even seeped from their eyes.

Thus, they realized that the essence of the rainbow radiance was a person—a supremely powerful cultivator who didn't belong to Nine Provinces!

This was naturally the young man's subtle warning. The cultivation world is layered with ranks and barriers, especially when traversing stellar space. To rashly spy on someone else's movements or origins inherently conveys hostility, which the young man couldn't tolerate, even if the Nine Provinces cultivators were doing it instinctively.

Consider his former mindset; those cultivators spying on his whereabouts would have been instantly killed to teach them the price of defiance. But now, having developed an interest in Nine Provinces, he couldn't bear to annihilate them completely. These Constellation cultivators might become his servants in the future, so sparing their lives could prove useful.

The rainbow radiance rapidly approached Nine Provinces, causing all the Constellation Realm cultivators there to pale with shock. They had just begun stepping into the stellar space, yet a powerful figure had already set sights on their domain?

How could they endure this?

And so, several individuals, separated by a short distance, exchanged Mental Consciousness and swiftly turned back towards Nine Provinces homeland, while one swept outward—not to flee, but to alert other Constellation Realms.

With an unwelcome guest at the door, it was natural to rally together for defense, whether or not they were a match would be determined in battle!

Within Bingzhou, Long Bai recently had a stroke of fortune, seizing a bit of spirit light. Within a day, he had ascended to Constellation, and upon leaving seclusion, his laughter shook the heavens and earth, ostentatiously soaring skyward towards the Nine Heavens.

Yet before he could burst out, the world suddenly trembled, and an unseen immense pressure descended from above, subtly distorting the Void throughout the Nine Provinces domain.

Long Bai felt as though he collided with an invisible wall, and immediately a powerful force pressed down from above.

He only had time for a startled cry before his form wavered, crashing downwards and landing headfirst on a barren mountain, embedding deep into the ground with only half his body exposed, covered in dust and looking quite disheveled.

Thankfully, he was a physique cultivator with a robust body, and having just ascended to Constellation, he remained unscathed. Had he been a magic cultivator, he might have truly been in trouble.

He spat out a few mouthfuls of dust, cursing, "What the hell is going on?"

Previously, he had personally witnessed others exiting Nine Provinces and entering stellar space. He thought he could follow in their footsteps, yet inexplicably, he crashed down. What was happening?

If everyone else could ascend, why couldn't he?

After swearing, he couldn't help but be stunned, because right in front of him, not far away, stood a person, a young man who looked just over twenty, with a pale face!

Long Bai couldn't figure out the situation at the moment and didn't think much of this young man, only assuming he was originally there, so he beckoned amiably: "Hey, boy, did I scare you? Come over and give me a hand!"

The young man merely looked at him with an indifferent expression, his demeanor condescending as if he were looking at an ant.

Then he slowly opened his mouth: "My name is Yueh Xin. From today, the Nine Provinces... belong to me!"

Long Bai almost thought he misheard, staring blankly at Yueh Xin, propping himself up on the ground with his hands, leaping to his feet, laughing as he approached Yueh Xin and said: "Kid, did you just say something outrageous? I fell from the sky and got a bit deaf, didn't hear it clearly, can you say it again?"

As he approached, his fists and palms rubbed together, his knuckles cracking noisily.

Young people these days were becoming more and more unruly. Even someone as renowned as Lu Yiye wouldn't dare boast so grandly. This young man in front of him, perhaps his brain went wrong, dared to speak so shamelessly.

He ought to teach him a good lesson, to let him know the dangers of the human world!

Three breaths later, Long Bai was held in the air by Yueh Xin, gripping him by the neck with one hand, his arms twisted unnaturally, the pain causing sweat to appear on his forehead, yet he didn't utter a sound.

Just like Zhao Shoumu when he saw Yueh Xin, Long Bai's heart and mind went cold!

Because he had already realized one thing; this Yueh Xin, perhaps, wasn't from Nine Provinces, but a powerful person from stellar space!

Why am I so unlucky?

It wasn't really his misfortune, but after Yueh Xin broke into the Nine Provinces, a scan with his Mental Consciousness revealed that at this moment, Long Bai was the strongest in this domain, and naturally, he came to find him.

To gain control over a domain, it is most effective to start from the top level. As long as the uppermost power is controlled, it is equivalent to controlling all.

"Didn't hear it clearly?" Yueh Xin looked at Long Bai indifferently, the murderous intent in his eyes unveiled.

Long Bai instantly understood that if he uttered a single negative word, he probably wouldn't see the sun tomorrow. He was always someone who could bend and stretch, immediately nodding like pounding garlic: "Heard it clearly!"

Yueh Xin flung Long Bai aside as if throwing a rag, raising his head to look towards the sky. With his strength, he could naturally sense that there were several Constellation Realm cultivators swiftly moving from outside the stars, likely those who had been observing him from afar earlier.

He was fully aware of these people's intentions, so he stood quietly with his hands behind his back, waiting here.

He knew there was no need to deliberately search for anything. As long as he stood here, the top experts of this domain would come to him, ready to be dealt with together!

At the Righteous Blood Sect headquarters, on Emerald Bamboo Peak, Lu Ye was sitting cross-legged, a golden spirit force vortex rotating endlessly in front of him, the roots of the Talent Tree probing into it, frantically devouring the pure energy within.

He was in a state of cultivation.

However, his cultivation had always been multitasking, so besides cultivating, he was also observing the Talent Tree at this moment.

Through the time of absorbing the power of the fire spirit stone, many new leaves on the Talent Tree had ignited and burned fiercely.

Yet what astonished him was that when he immersed his mind into these newly burning leaves, he did not gain anything.

This was something that had never happened before.

Each time new leaves burned previously, he would either acquire new spirit runes or gain many insights into the Path of Spirit Runes.

Receiving nothing was a first.

The newly burning leaves were like blank sheets of paper, leaving him utterly baffled.

He initially thought there must be some mysterious aspect he hadn't comprehended contained within them, but after several investigations, he finally confirmed that indeed, these leaves bore nothing.

This was indeed peculiar.

However, Lu Ye vaguely felt a peculiar sensation, as if he could construct spirit runes on these blank leaves, even infusing his insights into the Path of Spirit Runes into them.

A sudden realization dawned upon him: could it be that the various spirit runes on the Talent Tree and the insights into the Path of Spirit Runes came about in this manner?

From what he learned from Number Nine, the Talent Tree did not belong to him alone. Before him, several people had acquired the Talent Tree, but they all died prematurely. Moreover, the one who brought the Talent Tree to Nine Provinces was a mighty strongman who died from injuries. After that person's death, the Talent Tree's legacy remained in Nine Provinces.
