NOVPUBChapter 1011: Chapter 883: Pursuit_2 Chapter 1011: Chapter 883: Pursuit_2 A novice yet worldly Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioner inhaled softly and said.
“What? The new Layered Heaven of this universe has been breached?”
“Our previous analysis concluded that this universe was a thirty-six Layered Cosmic System, and thirty-three layers had been breached, leaving only the final three intact. If this is the case, doesn’t it mean that the thirty-fourth Layered Heaven of this universe has just been breached? Being one of the last three of a thirty-six Layered Universe, the spirit capable of such a feat must possess terrifying strength and talent…”
Upon hearing this, the other Ghost Practitioners’ expressions changed dramatically, and they exclaimed in shock.
They couldn’t help being afraid; they lived in the Netherworld, which was connected to countless Spirit Worlds. Moreover, nearly all spirit reincarnations passed through the Netherworld, which meant they were privy to many secrets unknown to their counterparts from the same tier in the Spirit Worlds.
For instance, they knew that a thirty-six Layered Cosmic System was not considered weak, even in the grander cosmos outside.
And a spirit strong enough to breach one of the last three layers of a thirty-six Layered Cosmic System would, even in the vast world outside, likely become a renowned power, with a final achievement of at least the Peak Saint Lord Realm, or perhaps even reach the higher Saint King Realm.
The strongest among these Ghost Practitioners was no more than a mid-tier Saint Lord, so the birth of such a strong spirit was a cause for concern and fear.
“Indeed… various signs indicate that the thirty-fourth Layered Heaven of this universe has just been breached…”
“In times of chaos, heroes emerge. Who would have thought that such a formidable hero would appear in this universe in such a short time…”
“We originally thought that after the strong ones from the Immortal Origin Holy Land’s Sanctuary left, there would be no power in this universe capable of threatening us. Yet now, such a defiant spirit has been born…”
Very quickly, a few Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners confirmed that the thirty-fourth Layered Heaven of this universe had indeed just been breached. Their feelings were mixed as they discussed it extensively.
“We had planned to use this universe as a breeding ground; it seems such plans are no longer feasible…” one Ghost Practitioner sighed with a sense of loss.
Devouring spirits allowed them to quickly increase their strength, but this process wasn’t constant, requiring them to assimilate yin energy after a certain stage.
Naturally, they did not wish that after devouring spirits once, they would find them all slaughtered by other Ghost Practitioners when they wished to feast again.
Besides, among them, some Ghost Practitioners were so powerful that ordinary spirits were of minimal use to them.
Therefore, they came up with the idea of turning this universe into a breeding ground, allowing the spirits to continue growing in number and strength, which would then continuously benefit and empower them.
A universe yet to be fully explored, linking to the Netherworld, was not an uncommon occurrence there – neither frequent nor rare. Most such universes that encountered this scenario would end up being subjugated in the same way.
For them, this was indeed a tremendous opportunity.
Now… that opportunity seemed to be in jeopardy…
“It may not necessarily be unfeasible. The one who breached the new Layered Heaven has just done so; his strength may not be that formidable. If we go now and eliminate him, we can continue to use this universe as our breeding ground…” Just then, an eager light flickered in the eyes of a novice Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioner as he spoke.
“Right! Such a strong being is only terrifying once it has grown. He is not fully grown yet. Not only that, but having just breached the new Layered Heaven of this universe, his body must contain powerful Origin Force from both realms. If we devour him, we could gain tremendous benefits…” another novice Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioner also lit up, speaking quickly.
“Moreover, with the thirty-fourth Layered Heaven being breached, the environment of this universe will elevate, and the rate at which powerful spirits are born will greatly increase! If so, this is not just a setback, but rather a huge advantage!” Yet another novice Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioner articulated quickly, growing more excited as he spoke.
“Indeed! It’s an opportunity! A huge opportunity!” agreed another Ghost Practitioner, equally excited.
Every issue has two sides. Because they knew much, they were initially shocked by the emergence of such a defiantly powerful being, perhaps also because they had heard that this universe once bore many strong Sanctuary denizens from the Immortal Origin Holy Land and even an incredibly powerful being like the Taoists Ancestor Er Lee. It made them tense, fearing that another formidable figure might emerge from this universe.
If that were the case, the strongest among them, just a mid-tier Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioner, might not be able to contend with such a powerful being.
Hence, discovering that a spirit had breached the thirty-fourth Layered Heaven of this universe startled them.
But now, as they analyzed further, they realized that this event might not be as bad as they feared, and could even be an immense opportunity, which reactivated their ambitious thoughts.
“Let’s go and see what the situation is…”
“Hurry over there, don’t let the target escape…”
“Inform Brother Mastiff, in case of any unexpected events…”
Soon, these Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners rapidly discussed their plan. Frightened on their own but emboldened in a group, and driven by enticing benefits, they decided to investigate. Brother Mastiff was the mid-tier Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioner who was not currently in this universe but was reinforcing the spatial passageway between the two realms elsewhere in the Netherworld.
Huff! Huff! Huff!
As they spoke, they hurriedly headed in the direction from which Lin Yun and the True Martial Saint Lord had come.
…
After Lin Yun and the True Martial Saint Lord had left, a few minutes later, five Saint Lord level ghost practitioners arrived in this space.
Four lower-tier Saint Lord level ghost practitioners and one middle-tier Saint Lord level ghost practitioner.
Among them, three lower-tier Saint Lord level ghost practitioners were the ones Lin Yun and the True Martial Saint Lord had seen before, as well as one unfamiliar lower-tier Saint Lord level ghost practitioner, and a middle-tier Saint Lord level ghost practitioner—a tri-headed dog, indeed the “Brother Mastiff” the lower-tier Saint Lord level ghost practitioners had just mentioned.
“This aura… Seems to be from that True Martial Saint Lord and that human youth, Lin Yun?”
“Could it be, they were the ones who broke through the universe’s 34th layer?”
“We’ve been searching for them all this time without success; turns out, they were hiding here…”
These Saint Lord level ghost practitioners all had strong sensing abilities, and since the True Martial Saint Lord and Lin Yun had left in a hurry without destroying anything—they felt no need to—these ghost practitioners quickly discovered the traces left by the True Martial Saint Lord and Lin Yun.
“The one who broke through this new layer of the universe must be that human youth, Lin Yun! At the second level of the Super Realm yet possessing the strength of a middle-tier Saint Lord, it’s not surprising he had the power to break through the universe’s 34th layer. Now, they have just left this space fewer than a few minutes ago…” Upon arriving here, the tri-headed dog ghost practitioner closed its eyes, then suddenly opened them and slowly spoke.
“It’s him!”
“He also has the Blood Prison Sword!”
“If we find him, not only can we devour the Origin Force of Two Worlds within him, but we can also obtain the Blood Prison Sword…”
Hearing the words of the tri-headed dog, the other lower-tier Saint Lord level ghost practitioners expressed their frustration.
Even the strength of an upper-tier Saint Lord was insignificant before them.
If they had arrived earlier, all the great benefits would have been theirs; they were filled with regret.
Had they known this would be the case, would they have hesitated or worried?
“They went in that direction, let’s pursue!” Just then, the tri-headed dog spoke again.
Huff!
As the voice faded, its body had already vanished.
“Chase!” 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
“Chase! Chase!”
The other ghost practitioners also hurriedly followed suit.
…
In the starry sky.
“I just contacted the Tower Spirit of the Heavenly Principle Tower. Those ghost practitioners have discovered it but haven’t been able to do anything to it. Currently, there are no ghost practitioners with too formidable power near it. We can hurry over and enter the space of the Heavenly Principle Tower…”
“You’ve just obtained the Origin Force of Two Worlds, and your talents and more have greatly increased. With just a little time, your strength can make rapid progress. The space of the Heavenly Principle Tower has abundant training resources, making it an ideal place…” the True Martial Saint Lord quickly said.
The two of them headed swiftly toward the core of the universe, where the Heavenly Principle Tower was located.
Heading to the Heavenly Principle Tower was motivated not just by the reasons the True Martial Saint Lord mentioned, but also because Xia Qingqing and others were there. Although the True Martial Saint Lord had already discussed with the Tower Spirit of the Heavenly Principle Tower to allow Xia Qingqing and the others to stay in its space for a long time, Lin Yun worried that the Tower Spirit might expel Xia Qingqing and the others at any moment.
