Exploration Grounds

## History

The Exploration Grounds are outside of the 13 Continents, a place where Grand Emperors and High Gods hide from Heavenly Executions.

No one knows just how old they are but considering they are formed from land that has survived dozens if not hundreds of Epochs can be inferred that they have existed since almost the beginning of time.

The Exploration Grounds are incredibly dangerous despite being the only refuge for Grand Emperors and High Gods to hide from Heavenly Executions because there are many ancient existences hidden within that have managed to survive the end of their Epochs.

These beings can be considered Taboo Existences and many (according to Li Qiye) are strong enough to kill a 12 Heavens Will Great Emperor. Therefore even Emperors must be careful with where they excavate and explore.

There were too many legends about Exploration Grounds and each place was different. No one knew how vast it was or described it with details. Just talking about one corner of the place was difficult enough. Some even said that just one corner of this place was larger than Pure. No one had been able to travel through the whole place, not even the supreme existences like **emperors**.

The reason why the place was so popular was due to its elusive nature. As long as it was the right time and place, Heavenly Execution couldn’t come down. Rumor has it that the high heaven couldn’t peer through this place completely.

**This was the reason why emperors and gods chose to hide in this place.**

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that all the living emperors and Ancient Gods were hiding in the different **Exploration Grounds**. Even some High Gods were staying here as well. This was the reason why many experts came to this place. Some of them wanted to see the appearance of these higher level beings. Others wanted to meet their forefathers just once.

Of course, the emperors weren’t so hospitable. Even if their descendants were to come, they wouldn't necessarily give them an audience. Only influential ancestors or High Gods were eligible to meet their ancestors. This was also an adventurous ground, full of unimaginable excitement. There were supreme divine artifacts from older epochs and immortal panacea. In deeper regions, there were immortal ores that were created at the start of the primordial chaos.

Exploration Grounds was not a place for cultivation because it contained the remnant chaos energies of previous epochs. This, in turn, led to being more susceptible to qi deviation. But there was an exception, Imperial Change City.

## Geography

They consist of countless worlds, land that has managed to survive the disasters at the end of Epochs and are separated by great expanses of space filled with lightning tribulations that are, whilst almost harmless to Emperors and the strongest High Gods, lethal to anyone who has not stepped onto either path.

The entrance to the Exploration Grounds can be found in front of Outer Realm City from where massive flying ships forged and reinforced by Emperors and High Gods come and go from the Exploration Grounds.
The ships are incredibly powerful and need to be so in order to survive the immense fields of lightning that separates the different areas of the Exploration Grounds.

### **Sublocations**

Countless worlds exist within the Exploration Grounds but notable amongst them are:

Hope Corner: The first location cultivators can travel to within the Grounds from Outer Realm City. It is a remnant of the Epoch from which Immortal Emperor Bing Yu's Heaven Cutting Tablet originates.

Remote Wildland: The last location cultivators can travel to within Grounds from Outer Realm City.
