Chapter no.63 Xuanjie Realm
In the intricate tapestry of the cosmos, the world exists as a complex interplay of multiple planes of existence. The human realm, inhabited by ordinary mortals, coexists alongside the Xuanjie Realm, an ethereal dimension where cultivators, beings of immense power, dwell. Bound together in a symbiotic relationship of master and servant, the rulers of the human realm hold a deep reverence for even the lowest-ranked cultivator. In return for the sects' invaluable protection against both internal and external foes, the monarchies of the human realm pledge their allegiance and offer an annual tribute of gold, precious metals, and gems. The burden of these tributes weighs heavily upon the citizens of the kingdoms, who are subjected to stringent taxation. Should a kingdom fail to deliver the Heavenly Tribute, the consequences are dire; the devastating annihilation of the once great civilization of Atlantis serves as a chilling testament to this fate.
