HEAVENLY DAO RANK: I WAS EXPOSED AS A SWORD GOD
Chapter 163 The Mystery of the Disappearance of People in the Lingtian Mystic Realm
With the help of Feng Xian, Li Yu and Ji Qinglan finally opened the treasury of the Sword Sect.
The array formation securing the treasure warehouse was extremely complicated. Several different array formations were interconnected, and any problem with one of them would lead to failure.
According to Feng Xian, the person who set up this array formation back then must have been an unbeatable genius in the array formation.
In order not to damage the treasures in the treasure warehouse, Feng Xian was careful in the process of breaking them. It took three days for him to complete all the array formations.
Finally, they managed to open the door of the treasure vault.
The items in the treasure warehouse were worthy of their efforts.
All the foundations of the Sword Sect and their precious treasures were inside. It took a long time for Li Yu and the others to collect and move him.
A small mountain of treasures piled up on Misty Immortal Island.
Li Yu was in a good mood as she looked at the mountain of wealth before her. Although the treasures he obtained from the Demon God Palace were even more valuable than the treasures from the Sword Sect.
However, the wealth of the Sword Sect was more effective in the development of the sect as a whole.
“Actually, I've been thinking about a question for the past few days. Was it really just the invasion of the Demon God that reduced the Ancient Eternal Domain to a wasteland back then? Feng Xian suddenly asked while thinking.
His words made Ji Qinglan ponder. He had been thinking about what had happened in the Eternal Domain back then.
“At that time, it was believed that our Eternal Domain was damaged by the invasion of the Demon God. Countless were killed in the war between the two sides. The world collapsed, making the Eternal Domain no longer suitable for life and reduced to a wasteland.
“However, why doesn't anyone bring anything with them while they're gone? It was the same for the Sword Sect and our Azure Divine Dragon Kingdom.
“It feels as if everyone instantly yawns. Like the Sword Sect's treasure vault you cannot be opened due to the death of the sect master.
“So why so many treasures in the palace of our Ancient Azure Dragon Divine Kingdom are still untouched. They were not protected by any array formation.
“This makes me wonder what happened that made them leave without carrying anything! Or maybe something happened that made the people from the Ancient Lingtian Eternal Domain disappear instantly!”
Feng Xian's opinion was aligned with Ji Qinglan's. He nodded in agreement. “I've been thinking the same thing over the last few days. Other than this treasure warehouse, the items in our Sword Sect library and Pill Pavilion are actually still intact. What you mentioned really made me feel that the people from our Immortal Domain suddenly disappeared back then!”
“Wait, before the two of you enter here, have you heard that if you can't get out of the Lingtian Mystic Realm before it closes, you will never be able to leave again? I've heard of people who don't leave on time. When the mystic realm opens, those people always disappear from here.”
“What will happen next after the mystic realm is closed? Where did the people who lived go? It's always been a mystery.
“In this mystic realm, only those who have been sealed, such as the Devil Sword, or those hidden in an isolated independent space like Misty Immortal Island, can survive. While there is no trace of anyone else.
“Perhaps some died from the invasion of demons, but most disappeared because of something else!”
Feng Xian's comments seemed to envelop the already strange and mysterious Lingtian Mystic Realm in the other layers of mysteries.
Li Yu's curiosity was piqued. He suddenly recalled the twin artifact spirits in the Dao Search Tower.
Therefore, he took out the Dao Search Tower and entered to inquire into the details of the Ancient Eternal Domain. Indeed, just as Feng Xian had expected, the people from the Eternal Domain seemed to have suddenly yawned.
As for how they disappeared, the artifact spirit did not know either.
"I have a way to find the answer!" Li Yu suddenly smiled.
"What's that?" Ji Qinglan and Feng Xian looked at Li Yu with anticipation.
“We will also stay here after the mystic realm is closed! Let's see what happens!”
"That's a great idea! It's just a little dangerous!” Fengxian nodded.
"You take it seriously?" Li Yu smirked. “I'm just kidding. Why do I have to stay here for decades? Forget it, don't think about it anymore. We will probably find out sooner or later.”
"Oh yes, Qinglan, how did Elder Nie fuse with that body?" Li Yu changed the topic.
The soulless body they obtained in Emperor Pan's Eternal Residence was given to Elder Nie for diffusion.
"Elder Nie is still in seclusion, but I'm sure there shouldn't be any problems!" Ji Qinglan responded.
“Alright, collect everything. We are preparing to leave!” li Yu's orders.
His younger brother's cultivation level had already increased enough. The weakest ones were at the Soul Formation Intermediate Stage, and they could protect themselves in this mystic realm.
Therefore, Li Yu decided to let them go practice and experience life.
Soon, Tang Chi, Ye Qiu, Gu Yuqi, and the others arrived. Li Yu took everyone and left Misty Immortal Island and Sword Sect.
They continued to explore this Ancient Eternal Domain.
“Oldest Brother, if we face danger again this time, let us handle it. You can rest!” Gu Yuqi looked satisfied.
Now that he had stepped into the Eternal Spirit Realm and fused with the Paragon Bone, his Ancient God Body had awakened further, allowing his strength to increase. His confidence also spiked. He was eager to experience a satisfying battle.
“Yes, it is now our turn to help our Eldest Brother now!” Ye Qiu, Tang Chi, and the others also looked confident.
They were like youths who had just grown armpit hair and could not wait to prove themselves to an adult.
Of course, Li Yu was naturally happy to see her younger brother becoming stronger. He was also happy to see his junior brother become an expert who no longer needed his protection.
This way, he could have more free time in the future.
It's thundering!
As they spoke, a muffled thunder suddenly resounded across the world. The void in the surroundings trembled slightly, and the power of heaven and earth seemed to start fluctuating violently.
A strange light appeared from the distant sky, and a circle of ripples appeared in space.
This sudden change made everyone's expressions become solemn as they looked at the strange light in the distance.
"Did something show up there?" Li Yu was curious.
"First Senior Brother, I'll go see him!" Gu Yuqi was very enthusiastic. Before he finished his sentence, he had already rushed over.
However, in the next second …
The explosion!
Gu Yuqi seemed to have hit a transparent barrier as she bounced back.
He had just flown at extreme speed. This direct collision made him dizzy, and he almost fell from the sky.
Upon seeing this, everyone revealed a strange expression.
Oh, shit happened again.
Li Yu was confused whether to laugh or cry.
As Gu Yuqi rushed out now, she had a bad premonition.
Even if this junior brother became an Immortal, his luck did not improve.
Li Yu and the others quickly flew over. Indeed, nothing was seen blocking their path.
However, at this moment, the fluctuations in the strength of the heaven and earth became increasingly powerful. It was like a raging wind, and the spatial fluctuations in the surroundings became increasingly drastic.
At the same time, spatial gaps appeared like black lightning flickering in the sky. They were like the eyes of a demon that had opened, emitting a cold light.
The entire sky seemed to be collapsing at any moment. It gave one a sense of danger as if the world was about to end.
“Young Brother Gu, you are amazing. You hit space! Tang Chi teased, easing the tense atmosphere.
Li Yu reached out to feel the air in front of him. Indeed, there seemed to be a transparent barrier blocking the way.
Suddenly, something even stranger happened. The space on the other hand, separated by an invisible barrier, suddenly began to shift horizontally.
"This ..." Li Yu was surprised. The space in front of him was like the world he had seen in Inception. It was casually folded, flipped, overlapped, altered, separated, and recombined.
A terrifying destructive aura spread from the crack, and Li Yu and the others quickly retreated.
Immediately, with an explosion, the transparent spatial barrier collapsed into countless shards. Then, under the influence of an unknown force, he regrouped and regained his composure.
The space in front of him moved to another scene, and a transparent spatial barrier was still there. It was like a transparent glass panel separating two completely different worlds.
On the other side was a hidden, dark underground world with a strange altar.
The intricate totem twinkled on the altar as a group of people sat cross-legged around it, undergoing some sort of mysterious ritual.
Their bodies were enveloped by a blackish-purple light while savage faces flickered.
Three men stood to the side, staring at Li Yu and the others in shock.
The leader of the three was a man with a lazy posture, relaxed clothes, and drooped hair.
He frowned as he carefully assessed Li Yu and the others, and a wisp of killing intent appeared in his eyes.
He walked towards Li Yu's group. However, he knew there was a spatial barrier in front of him, so he stopped in front of him and extended his hand to touch it.
The two men behind him said something, but they could not hear it.
The cold gaze of the man swept over Ji Qinglan, Ye Qiu, Tang Chi, and the others before finally stopping at Li Yu. He walked over to Li Yu.
The two of them seemed to be standing face to face, but they were in two different worlds, and no one could touch each other.
However, the killing intent in the eyes of the man seemed to be able to break through the spatial barrier.
If not for the spatial barrier, he might have already attacked.
Li Yu observed the man as well. He didn't know this person, but he didn't seem like a good person.
Suddenly, the man swung his fist at the spatial barrier, causing it to ripple slightly.
Seeing the man punching, Li Yu remained in place. He grinned before firing his fist at the spatial barrier.
The corner of the man's mouth had just appeared with a cold smile when it instantly froze. Wads of horror appeared in his eyes as he retreated swiftly.
At the same time, the spatial barrier in front of Li Yu looked like a mirror that broke as it broke, and everything around it collapsed.
Finally, the entire area seemed to have become a vortex of black holes devouring the shattered space around it.
At the same time, a circle of green light spread out from the shattered space. They gathered into a ball of green light that flew into Li Yu's body.
"Ding — Gathering forces of world origin!"
Li Yu was quite surprised to hear the system notification.
World origin power? It sounds impressive just by hearing his name.
Gu Yuqi was actually able to attract good things whenever she came across something unfavorable.
And this time, Li Yu obtained the Origin Power of this world.
Shortly after, the area in front of him calmed down. The invisible spatial barrier disappeared, and the surroundings returned to normal. However, the spatial crack in the sky remained.
It became thicker and wider. A destructive aura spread from the crack, accompanied by a bolt of lightning that bombarded the ground from the sky.
“Everyone said that the space in the Lingtian Mystic Realm was strange. I didn't expect it to be more incredible than the legends!
“What have we just witnessed? An illusion?"
"Feng Xian, it's not some sort of illusionary array, is it?" Ji Qinglan asked Feng Xian.
“No, there should be overlapping space. We must see an unknown location in the mystic realm now!”
"Who are those people?"
"I don't know him, but they don't look friendly at all!"
"That ritual seems to be a reincarnation ritual!" Feng Xian commented.
“They are completely useless! I wonder if Eldest Brother's punch just now could annihilate them along with that space! Everyone is discussing.
“Oh yes, Eldest Brother, what was that green light ball?”
"Trace the Origin Power of this world!" answer Li Yu.
"Origin the world!" The eyes of Feng Xian and Ji Qinglan widened.
They know what the origin of the world represents. It was the Origin Power of the world. If one could fully understand all the origins of this world, one could take complete control of a realm and even possess the ability of the Creator.
Although the Lingtian Mystical Realm had become a world on the verge of collapse, the starving camel was always bigger than a horse.
This world origin power was still superior to the origin of the Eternal Martial World.
If Li Yu could step into the Saint Lord realm in the future, he could even use the origin power of the Lingtian Mystic Realm to easily create a new world.
“What is the origin of the world?” Tang Chi and the others asked curiously.
Feng Xian and Ji Qinglan explained to everyone while Li Yu gazed up at the sky that seemed on the verge of collapse.
Suddenly, a huge black hole appeared in the fractured sky, and lightning strikes continued to explode
Roars!
A roar sounded from the black hole. It was louder than lightning, and gradually, a gigantic figure came out from the black hole.
It was a monster that seemed to live in the Nine Nether Abyss. That looks very barbaric.
Giant tentacles wriggling with ghostly faces growing on them. They also have many knife-like fins.
“This is... creatures of Chaos!” Feng Xian and Ji Qinglan were stunned to see the monster rushing out of the black hole.
They had seen such a creature before. It was a powerful being that lived inside a chaotic space.
Almost simultaneously, another ferocious and terrifying monster crawled out from the spatial crack in the distance.
It was not just Li Yu and the others. Monstrous monsters had appeared in the sky above the Lingtian Mystic Realm and the Virtual Sky Mystic Realm.
Countless demons and human cultivators watched the huge monsters in the sky in horror.
“Oh no, Lingtian Mystic Realm is completely reversed!” The Sacred Lord of the Primordial Dao Holy Land, Tian Hui, commented with a melancholic expression.
They had entered the Lingtian Mystical Realm many times, but too many strange things had happened this time around.
Not to mention the appearance of Devil Immortals, there was also a connection between the Lingtian Mystic Realm and the Virtual Sky Mystic Realm. Now, a spatial crack materialized, and a terrifying chaos creature had appeared.
This mystic realm was completely reversed.
Whether they could come home alive this time became uncertain.
“Oldest Brother, you should take a break this time. Now it's our turn!” Gu Yuqi looked at the ferocious monster that rushed over and rubbed its fists, wanting to give it a try.
Finally it was time for them to shine. Gu Yuqi planned to use those monsters as a practice.
“He's right, Oldest Brother. Let's handle this monster!” Ye Qiu was also burning with fighting spirit. He immediately released his aura and let out a battle cry as he rushed towards the Chaos Beings.
Seeing Ye Qiu's assault, Gu Yuqi's expression changed. He immediately chased after her and directly caught up with Ye Qiu. Ye Qiu hated losing as he stepped on the air and quickly chased after Gu Yuqi.
However, in the next second, both of them were smashed from the sky by that monster.
