After a day of traveling, Lu Yin finally beheld the true Three Monarchs Universe.
The place they had reached bore a resemblance to the Fifth Mainland’s Outerverse. There were planets revolving, and the occasional cultivator passing through outer space. Battles and massacres sporadically erupted, and interstellar pirates prowled the region.
As they continued further, things grew increasingly prosperous.
"Brother-in-law, up in front of us is where the Lower King Domain officially starts. In our Three Monarchs Universe, there's a saying: those dwelling in the Upper King Domain enter the Emperor Domain, while those residing in the Lower King Domain are relegated to the mortal realm. It’s supposed to be about how the people in the Upper King Domain are esteemed dignitaries who can directly communicate with the Emperor Domain, while the Lower King Domain is only home to normal people," Luo Lao'er explained.
"It seems that everyone in your dimension is subservient to the three Monarchs," Lu Yin commented.
Luo Lao'er responded, "That's just my father being overbearing. While it might sound like everyone serves the three Monarchs, can he even use so many people? There’s really only a select few who genuinely serve the three Monarchs. Like I mentioned in Cliff Town, this universe has an empire, yet many of the planets here don’t even have the ability to reach outer space. They have no idea what our universe is even called."
Lu Yin sighed. "Fair enough. It’s possible that even everything we’re facing ourselves is just a game in the eyes of even higher-level beings."
Luo Lao'er was horrified by the comment. "Brother-in-law, that's terrifying."
Lu Yin smiled and said nothing more.
Luo Lao'er guided the spacecraft in a specific direction. Once they arrived in a specific region, Luo Lao'er started searching for something, his expression grim. They continued towards the north, but his expression grew uglier as he continued to fail to find what he was seeking. Things continued in this manner as they ventured further and further into the northern reaches of the Lower King Domain. Finally, Luo Lao'er let out a sigh of relief. "So it’s really just this small."
Soon after that, their vessel docked. In front of them were ten interconnected planets that had been combined to create an astral city in outer space. It looked to be extremely prosperous.
As they strolled through the city, Lu Yin observed the customs and traditions of the Three Monarchs Universe. Tri-colored monarch essence could be seen everywhere, covering many different items, including the flourishing crystals that were used as currency. The interplay of the energy’s three colors gave the entire cityscape a bit of a shimmering glow.
Aside from the fact that their cultivation methods were different, the place looked no different from the Fifth Mainland.
Luo Lao'er confidently led Lu Yin through the city, and they soon arrived at a tall, magnificent building.
Lu Yin stared at the grand building before them for a moment before directing a rather confused look towards Luo Lao'er.
With a smirk, Luo Lao'er teased, "Brother-in-law, do you find it appealing?"
"What do you mean?" Lu Yin inquired.
"Don't play dumb. As a man, you should understand what this place is at first glance. Do you like it?" Luo Lao'er prodded.
"A brothel?" Lu Yin questioned.
"Don't be so crude! It's called Spring Lightning. It’s a chain that the Fenglei clan runs. All of their different locations use the name Spring Lightning. This Spring Lightning Manor is the most opulent entertainment venue, and it’s directly overseen by the Fenglei clan.
