Chapter 799: Ancestor Desert Palace
Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_
“You haven’t entered the five great sacred worlds before right?” Ancestor Devil suddenly thought of it before looking towards Xue Ying.
“Mn, after leaving my hometown cosmos, I have always been traveling along the primal chaos void.” Xue Ying said.
Ancestor Devil nodded.
“Sou.”
He directly brought Xue Ying in a stream of light and rushed towards the surface level of the Eastern Unicorn Sacred World. There were many cloud layers which contained several thunder creatures. There were even extremely horrifying creatures hidden within. But Ancestor Devil was a Primal Chaos realm giant and did not care about everything at all. He took just a single breath of time to travel through the many cloud layers and saw a boundless, undulating land.
The current sky was dim, and there was a huge sun slowly rising.
That’s right.
The sun and moon were not unique to his hometown cosmos! According to legends, there were already an incomparably blazing hot and explosive ‘Sun Star’ and the incredibly cold and sinister ‘Moon Star’ revolving around the most primitive Ancient Sacred World. Ever since the most primitive Ancient Sacred World exploded, the several sacred worlds which were created thereafter… would have a sun and moon revolving around and brightening the place.
Just like in Xue Ying’s hometown cosmos, Forefather Tian Yu had also created a smaller version of Sun Star and Moon Star while making the cosmos.
Clearly, the sun and the moon’s reflections made reproduction and survival possible for lifeforms.
‘Such a huge Sun Star.’ Xue Ying felt stunned. The Sun Star which rose from the easternmost location was tremendously huge and vast. The Sun Star in his hometown cosmos could not compare with this at all.
‘The laws here are too strong already.’ Xue Ying sighed inwardly.
The sacred world was extremely stable. The operating laws were even stronger too. Only those who reached the final realm, the Cosmos Gods, could possibly have the power to destroy it. And it was merely ‘possible’ since it wasn’t easy for Cosmos Gods to actually destroy a sacred world. Just like the final 13th sword from the “13 Apocalyptic Swords”, it might be able to injure a sacred world, and by utilizing a few more swords, it could even cause the entire sacred world to be destroyed. But that was already the most terrifying and most forbidden move which Forefather Tian Yu had, and he would definitely not display such a forbidden move unless in a dire situation.
This move took too much toll on the cosmos within his body.
‘The law is too powerful. The pressure on me is too strong as well.’ Xue Ying had experienced the suppression the moment he got close to the Eastern Unicorn Sacred World, and now that he entered the Eastern Unicorn Sacred World, the law suppression became all the stronger. Even his vision and hearing abilities were suppressed.
“Hu.” Xue Ying tried flying before flashing back to his original position, “So slow!”
Right now, his speed was so slow that he could only fly for up to three kilometers in the blink of an eye.
“Mirage World? Void teleportation? I really could not teleport any longer?” Xue Ying felt helpless.
These were things he knew before coming.
The law of sacred world was too strong since there were as many experts as clouds over here. The number of True Gods was innumerable, and there were even plenty of Void Gods. There were even a bunch of Primal Chaos realm giants and several Cosmos Gods who stood at the peak!
According to what he knew…
Those like Voidwalkers, who specialized in traveling, had to become a Void God before they could even do a ‘short distance void travel’ which was similar to teleportation. As for those who did not specialize in it, they would have to reach the ‘Unity realm’ before they could even teleport.
And those ultra-long distance void teleportation meant for those who were traveling to other parts could only be achieved by Primal Chaos realm giants. Several at the ‘Unity realm’ could do so too.
As for True God Rulers?
Never had he heard of anyone who could tear through the void within the sacred world! The law here was too strong.
“True Gods still can fly, yet World Deities could no longer do so.” Xue Ying looked beneath him. There was a city beneath in the distance. Many civilians were living within. Currently, the region which his Mirage World covered was too small—just 1,000 meters! Relying on his senses of the void, he could barely feel the aura given by the people living within this city.
The civilians in the city…
The weakest were all Transcendents! And those were squeaky children or toddlers who were shouting and screaming. They were all Transcendents.
And most adults or some of the slightly stronger teenagers were Deities.
Clearly in the sacred world… most would become Deities after they grew up! But under the strong law suppression, their destructive abilities were extremely small.
And there were very few ‘World Deities’ within. There were about a million civilians in the city, yet only a few dozen World Deities who could not fly yet.
“Even though they suffer from the law suppression, at least they are Transcendents the moment they are born, and Deities after they grew up. Their lives are very long.” Xue Ying said, “It is so much longer than the many mortals in my hometown cosmos.”
“They are stronger by much, but they also have many difficulties.” Ancestor Devil looked beneath him and spoke nonchalantly, “The devour class cultivation system is the easiest and simplest of all. It is also the most widely spread cultivation technique, so it is likely that some cultivators who got their hands on something related to devour will devour a large number of lifeforms. It is too common to see an entire city being devoured.”
“Thus…”
“Most living beings within the sacred world will live up to 100 million ordinarily, provided other deaths do not befall them before that day!” Ancestor Devil said, “Alright. Have you felt enough and gotten enough understanding of the sacred world?”
“Mn.” Xue Ying nodded.
“Let’s go.”
Ancestor Devil brought Xue Ying along as they forced through the void.
Previously, they had been traveling in the primal chaos void, and Ancestor Devil did not create many disturbances as he had an easy time. But within the sacred world, the disturbance created was much bigger.
“Si la~” A distorting time-space vortex of 330 meters wide appeared in front. Ancestor Devil brought Xue Ying in directly.
At about 500 kilometers away from Ancestor Devil and Xue Ying.
There was a tall and sturdy man with a huge mustache flying up from a mansion house before observing the time-space vortex which formed. This tall and sturdy man with a huge mustache had golden eyes. He said with slight shock, “Is this traveling using the time-space vortex? Is it an existence at the Primal Chaos realm? I, I actually missed such a huge opportunity!”
The sacred world was too big.
Flying slowly…many cultivators including Void Gods would never get the opportunity to see a Primal Chaos realm giant!
******
The days of traveling were extremely mundane.
Advancing continuously using the time-space vortex, Xue Ying could not help but focus most of his concentration towards pondering the “Wind Ripple Path”.
About 30,000 years later.
“We are here.” Ancestor Devil who had been silent all the while as they traveled, suddenly said. He woke Xue Ying from his stupor.
“We are finally here.” Xue Ying felt awkward inwardly. Being a Primal Chaos realm giant, he could easily travel through long distance within the sacred world. Such a speed of traveling actually took 30,000 years or so before they arrived at the friend Ancestor Devil wanted to see! If not for long-distance traveling techniques, traveling in the sacred world would make others feel despair.
Naturally, the weak could travel through many teleportation arrays, but it would require treasures as the fee!
Flying through the time-space tunnel, Ancestor Devil and Xue Ying appeared right in front of a majestic black palace.
“It is forbidden to fly around the palace of Ancestor Desert.” At that moment, two protectors wearing simple armor rushed over. They were giving off a horrifying and sharp killing intent. The armor they were wearing contained lightning which was continuously moving.
Xue Ying could not help but feel his heart jolting. He could feel the threat from these two protectors.
“Mn?” Xue Ying was slightly stunned. He could determine that the two protectors were actually puppets!
“Great Void Heaven Temple Ancestor Devil.” Ancestor Devil nonchalantly answered, “Tell your house master that I am here to visit him.”
The two protectors were momentarily stunned.
“Yes.” The two of them bowed before leaving. Even though it was forbidden to fly around the palace of Ancestor Desert, those at the same level as their house master, the Primal Chaos realm existences, would clearly not suffer from the same restriction.
Beneath him, there was a congregation of many cultivators, of which the majority were True Gods, and some were Void Gods. They were all seated cross-legged in twos and threes.
There were some cultivators who came and were not informed yet, “It isn’t time. The recruitment of disciples for the Ancestor Desert Palace will only start 16 days later. This time, they are only recruiting 100 disciples, 10 being Void Gods and 90 being True Gods. Nevertheless, there are more than 10,000 True Gods and Void Gods I know who came already.”
“So many?”
“I’ve experienced so many bitter times and put in so much effort. I’ve almost even lost my life, spending a total of 1.03 billion years and spending so many treasures while relying on the time-space teleportation array before arriving here. It is hearsay that getting into the Ancestor Desert Palace is relatively easier, but who would have thought that there are so many cultivators vying for the 100 spots.”
These cultivators were all sighing. They could only wait casually on the ground. Nonetheless, there was a benefit in waiting outside the Ancestor Desert Palace—it was safe! None dared to rush over here and devour the living beings rampantly.
Naturally, only when the Ancestor Desert Palace is recruiting for disciples will they allow outsiders to gather here. During ordinary times, they were all forbidden from coming over.
