Chapter 362: Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate, Prepare to Die!
The first page of the guide briefly introduced the powerful beings at the apex of the spirit world. The actual information on the Ten Sacred Domains began on the second page, with the table of contents.
[Table of Contents]
[Ten Sacred Domains: Illusion Sea Palace] The realm created by the Illusion Sea Concubine.
The Illusion Sea Concubine, a White Flower Moon-Treading Deer, one of the Six Disasters, born in the Nether Snow Sacred Domain, home of the Snow Monarch, its Spirit Master blessed by the Snow Monarch at birth.
The Illusion Sea Concubine, gentle and peace-loving, averse to conflict, had only fought once, upon its master’s death.
In that single battle, it had annihilated dozens of legendary beings, including titled ones, all those who had come to challenge it, vaporized in an instant.
Its power shook the spirit world, earning it a title.
After that, the Illusion Sea Concubine never fought again. Over tens of thousands of years, its Disaster Ring faded, replaced by the title of Concubine.
The Illusion Sea Palace, protected by the Illusion Sea Concubine, was now the most prosperous and harmonious realm in the spirit world.
Whether spirit beast or human, Six Disaster or Four Shield, all conflict was forbidden within the Illusion Sea Palace, a perfect destination for a family vacation.
[Ten Sacred Domains: Nether Snow Sacred Domain] The domain of the ancient legendary being, the Snow Monarch.
The Nether Snow Sacred Domain, said to be the oldest realm in the spirit world, even rumored to have been granted to the Snow Monarch by a mythical being.
The Snow Monarch, rejecting all outsiders, even banishing its own kind, kept the number of legendary beings within its domain to less than ten.
Even so, the Nether Snow Sacred Domain was a place no one challenging the Seven Concubines would dare to approach.
More than ten thousand years ago, a pampered, peace-loving White Flower Moon-Treading Deer, which had voluntarily relinquished its Disaster Ring, was born in the Nether Snow Sacred Domain. That deer was now the Illusion Sea Concubine.
A hundred years ago, the Ice Antelope Grand Concubine was born in the Nether Snow Sacred Domain. It was currently vying for a spot among the Seven Concubines, considered the strongest being below the Seven Concubines, the Six Disasters, and the Unbreakable Four Shields.

[Ten Sacred Domains: Black Tide Ancient City] Ruled by the Dark Night Concubine, the Heavenly Fan Maiden.
The Dark Night Concubine, a super rookie who emerged twenty thousand years ago, had defeated the then Eastern Shield and the Dream Calamity, earning a place among the Seven Concubines.
The Black Tide Ancient City, having developed for twenty thousand years, now boasted a large number of legendary beings and titled legendary beings, its power rivaling even the Nether Snow Sacred Domain and the Illusion Sea Palace.
Even within the Ten Sacred Domains, it was rumored that the Dark Night Concubine and the Snow Monarch were the two strongest legendary beings.
Incidentally, the Jade Concubine of the Waterfall Lake was the Dark Night Concubine’s strongest subordinate, currently competing with the Ice Antelope Grand Concubine for a spot among the Seven Concubines.
The Prison Ember Concubine, one of the Seven Concubines, severely injured by the Myriad Volt Phoenix, Harbinger of the Boom Calamity, was now weakened, her position threatened by the two challengers, a potential shift in the spirit world’s power structure.
And although the Black Tide Ancient City wasn’t closed to outsiders, its atmosphere was serious and oppressive, its inhabitants solely focused on cultivation. Not recommended for family vacations.
[Ten Sacred Domains: Myriad Spirit Flower Ring] Home of the Peach Blossom Concubine, a sacred land for plant-type spirit beasts.
The Peach Blossom Concubine, the Nine-Petal Peach Silk Snow Lotus Flower, its current form achieved through countless mutations and reincarnations, its descendants scattered throughout the spirit world.
Not only did it have dozens of legendary lovers, but its own strength was also formidable.
The Sea Scale Snow Crocodile, one of the Unbreakable Four Shields, after clashing with it, had remarked that it wasn’t sure which of them was truly worthy of the Shield title, a testament to the Peach Blossom Concubine’s incredible defenses.
The Myriad Spirit Flower Ring was also renowned for having the highest average… beauty level in the entire spirit world, its atmosphere… open and welcoming.
However, married individuals were advised against visiting, lest they abandon their families.
It was said that the flowers and plants there were… enthusiastic… and prone to… spontaneous acts of reproduction, tentacles, vines, and blossoms everywhere, a dangerous place. Don’t go!
Speaking of which, she was about to arrive at the Myriad Spirit Flower Ring…
[Ten Sacred Domains: Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate]
Protected by the Winter Bone Azure Horn of the Western Unbreakable Four Shields, the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate was the Winter Bone Azure Horn’s birthplace.
It boasted the most breathtaking scenery in the entire spirit world, a world of endless glaciers, but its inhabitants were aloof and unwelcoming. Tourism was allowed, but long-term stays were discouraged.
Notably, the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate was the Sacred Domain where human Spirit Masters held the highest status. The probability of contracting with a high-quality spirit beast here was also exceptionally high, making it an ideal location for secluded cultivation.
Two years ago, the Winter Bone Azure Horn had repelled an attack from the World-Ending Azure Sky, further enhancing the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate’s prestige.
This meant that the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate was even stronger than the Ancient Sword Sacred Domain, which had been shattered by the World-Ending Azure Sky thousands of years ago!
However, with the Winter Bone Azure Horn currently dormant, countless shadowy figures were plotting and scheming. It was best to avoid this realm for the time being.

Gong Lianyue flipped through a few more pages, then reached the… culinary section.
It seemed the first volume only covered five of the Ten Sacred Domains: the Illusion Sea Palace, the Nether Snow Sacred Domain, the Black Tide Ancient City, the Myriad Spirit Flower Ring, and the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate. The other five were in the second volume.
Much of the information here was new to her. The 10,000 spirit crystals had been well spent, although she had lost interest in the second volume.
This author, although knowledgeable, clearly lacked writing skills.
If she were the author, she would have saved the Nether Snow Sacred Domain and the Black Tide Ancient City for the second volume, a cliffhanger to keep the readers hooked. With such exciting content in the first volume, what was the point of the second?
The Snow Monarch and the Dark Night Concubine, considered the two strongest beings in the spirit world, their rivalry a constant topic of discussion even in distant realms, their conflict surely reaching a fever pitch within the Ten Sacred Domains.
Although the White Moon Lord was also incredibly powerful, its destructive nature made it… a less popular topic of conversation.
Gong Lianyue discreetly stored the two volumes of the travel guide in her… cleavage… actually, within the Ice Forged Decapitator’s spatial storage artifact, a move that still managed to startle a few of the younger Spirit Masters.
Boom!!!
Suddenly, a massive figure slammed into the side of the giant bird they were riding, the impact sending the unsuspecting passengers tumbling, a deafening roar.
The bird spun, the world turning upside down, screams echoing, but the White Velvet Snow Deer, nestled on the blue-haired woman’s lap, remained motionless.
Gong Lianyue blinked, a massive shadow blotting out the sky above.
A terrifying aura, emanating from the shadowy figure, as it charged towards the spirit gate leading to the Ten Sacred Domains.
“Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate, prepare to die!!!”
“…”
