Tasl delved into the ancient tomes and mystical scrolls of the expansive library, uncovering the secrets of Greenfield City. The city, ensconced by treacherous forests and inhabited by monstrous creatures, posed a formidable challenge for those daring to venture beyond its borders. The nearest city lay an astounding 10,000 kilometers away, emphasizing the vastness of this world compared to Earth. A cataclysmic war, lost to the annals of history, had molded the land, restricting exploration.
Frustrated by the scarcity of pre-war records, Tasl redirected his focus to the cultivation realms—a hierarchy dictating both strength and longevity. The books revealed a structured progression, with each tier promising increased power and extended life. The Spirit Realm, with its subdivisions of Spirit Realization, Spirit Condensation, and Spirit Transformation, captivated Tasl, hinting at the intricate ways cultivators harnessed spiritual energy to enhance their abilities.
Advancing further, the Body Realm—comprising the Earthen Body, Golden Body, and Origin Body—engaged Tasl's attention. This realm explored the physical aspects of cultivation, suggesting that mastery over one's body led to an increased lifespan and heightened strength.
The Nascent Soul Realm, embracing Soul Establishment, Soul Transformation, and Soul Severing, unveiled a profound connection between one's spiritual essence and the fundamental nature of the soul. Cultivators in this realm transcended the limitations of mortality, achieving astonishing lifespans.

The Seeking Realm, the pinnacle of cultivation—comprising Earth Seeking, Dao Seeking, and God Seeking—hinted at the attainment of divinity, where cultivators aligned with the very essence of existence. The longevity in this realm surpassed all others, reaching a staggering 800 years.
Turning to the history of the Madrion dynasty, Tasl uncovered a lineage of formidable cultivators. Simbal Madrion, the city's founder from 100,000 years ago, stood as a figure whose power transcended mortal realms. He received a blessing from Elderson God, elevating his power and upgrading the Madrion bloodline to an imperial status. An additional boon dictated that the elder son of each generation would be more talented, their life force irrevocably linked to younger siblings. This unique dynamic established a rule that the elder son would always be king, and the other siblings were mere protectors.
Over thousands of years, the imperial bloodline diluted, stability in the king's position lessened competition, and cultivation pursuits waned. As the Madrion dynasty faced the threat of decay, twin brothers Mirian and Milter Madrion were born. Both entered the Nascent Soul Realm and defended the city against multiple monster attacks. During a fierce battle, Mirian Madrion reached the Soul Severing Realm and perished while protecting the realm.
There was no information about King Ezekiel and his generation in the library. Contemplating the profound journey that lay ahead, Tasl wondered how he would navigate the intricate web of power and longevity within this extraordinary realm.
