NOVPUBChapter 1067: Chapter 911: A Universe that Can Be Upgraded_2 Chapter 1067: Chapter 911: A Universe that Can Be Upgraded_2 Langya Saint Lord was too fixated on his own gains, otherwise, with his talent being not low at all, and with all the new layers of their universe now open to them, affording them the freedom to come and go into the grand world of spirits, given Langya Saint Lord’s natural talents coupled with some Origin Force he had obtained from both worlds, his future prospects would have surely been boundless.
Regrettably, a single misstep can make it hard to correct a path by a hundredfold, and in the end, Langya Saint Lord fell to the hands of those Ghost Practitioners.
Apart from feeling regret, True Martial Saint Lord felt a bit uneasy in his heart.
Back then, when Taoists Ancestor Er Lee left the universe, he left only him and Langya from among his seventy-two disciples in the universe. Now, with Langya fallen, only he remained, and even the Immortal Origin World had been destroyed. Although he had found Lin Yun, who was the reincarnated friend as described by Taoists Ancestor Er Lee, everything else was gone, leaving him at a loss for how to face Taoists Ancestor Er Lee once again.
“Don’t worry, I’ll plead your case to Little Ear. Back when I was Lingtian, we roamed the grand world of spirits together, and he even regarded me as the boss. If I speak for you, he’ll definitely listen…” Seeing the fear on True Martial Saint Lord’s face, Lin Yun roughly sensed what True Martial Saint Lord was worried about. Lin Yun patted True Martial Saint Lord on the shoulder and said with a smile.
True Martial Saint Lord responded with a wry smile and nodded.
Lin Yun smiled without speaking further, but inside, he was a bit worried.
According to True Martial Saint Lord and Little Tower’s narration, Er Lee must have entered this universe through an abnormal cycle of reincarnation. Had nothing extraordinary happened, Er Lee wouldn’t have done this.
It’s known that even though it’s not a normal cycle of reincarnation and one retains a strong autonomy, it’s not without danger. If not careful, one could die and truly enter the cycle of reincarnation.
However, when Little Tower met with Er Lee, either Er Lee did not want Little Tower to worry, or for some other reason, he did not inform Little Tower about what exactly had happened.
His friendship with Er Lee was indeed very deep, as seen by Er Lee entering this universe and reincarnating to find him. This alone demonstrated the point, but now, he had broken through the universe’s last layer, starting the connection with the grand world of spirits.
Er Lee was not waiting outside…
It was just a few thousand years, which, to cultivators of their level, would pass in the blink of an eye; even a meditation retreat often lasted more than ten thousand years.
Er Lee should have been able to wait that long, especially since he had told Little Tower that this time was his final chance for a successful cycle of reincarnation. Er Lee was even less likely to not wait for him outside.
Unless something had happened to Er Lee.
His experiences as Lingtian flashed through his mind…
His mood became slightly heavy.
Back when he had fallen as Lingtian in the grand world of spirits, there were surely formidable enemies… and his good relationship with Er Lee and the others was no secret. He couldn’t guarantee that those people wouldn’t involve Er Lee and the others in this matter.
“I hope not, otherwise, I will make you regret immensely…” Lin Yun murmured to himself.
“Hmm?”
At that moment, Lin Yun suddenly looked up.
He saw a powerful presence rapidly approaching in the distance, which, within a few breaths, arrived outside of this universe, and in the next moment, the owner of that powerful presence, without hesitation, broke directly into this universe.
Whoosh— Whoosh— Whoosh—
A dominantly strong aura swiftly began scanning the entire cosmic space.
“Upper Saint King…”
Lin Yun squinted his eyes and muttered to himself.
An Upper Saint King, even in the grand world of spirits, was extremely rare, and this universe was not in a bustling area, having confirmed that moments before. Cultivators of the Saint King Realm should be very scarce in this region.
The opening of this universe had sent out powerful spatial fluctuations, but there were limits in distance.
First, a Rosen Saint King had come, and now, a cultivator of the Upper Saint King Realm had followed, which didn’t align with the density of cultivators of the Saint King Realm in this area. Considering the time it had taken, Lin Yun surmised that this Upper Saint King must have received some information from other cultivators to have come here.
It could be the Saint Lord level cultivator who escaped earlier, or perhaps the cultivators who didn’t dare to enter, or maybe… it was Rosan Saint King who had just left, after all, Rosan Saint King had mentioned before that he had transmitted the information of White Emperor in this universe to more powerful Saint King experts.
“There’s no one?” At this moment, a voice whispered in the starry sky.
Whoosh!
The next moment, the owner of the voice teleported next to Lin Yun and his group, the superior Saint King who had just entered, appearing as a middle-aged human male, similar in appearance to Lin Yun and his group.
All things possess spirit, and humans are considered the spirit of all spirits, favored by the heavens and the earth. The human body is known as a naturally occurring Dao Body, which is very conducive to cultivation. Hence, when many other races are able to take shape, they mostly choose to transform into human form.
Therefore, although this superior Saint King appeared as a middle-aged human male, it is not necessarily true that he really is human.
“Are you the cultivators of this universe? I’ve heard that there are some powerful Ghost Practitioners in this universe, do you know where they have gone?” The middle-aged man stared at Lin Yun and his group, asking coldly.
In his eyes, the highest strength in Lin Yun’s group was at the middle Saint Lord Realm, which, compared to his standing as a superior Saint King, was insignificant, like ants. Naturally, he did not take Lin Yun and his group seriously.
In his view, his asking them a question and their answering it was a matter of course, an opportunity for them to speak with a superior Saint King like him. Normally, he wouldn’t even bother with someone of their level.
As for the presence of powerful Ghost Practitioners in this universe, he had no doubt because there was still a lot of Netherworld energy lingering in this universe that hadn’t dissipated, in large quantities. Obviously, this universe was very likely invaded by Ghost Practitioners from the Netherworld, so the presence of any type of Ghost Practitioner coming over would not be surprising.
“Dead, fled,” Lin Yun said indifferently.
Indeed, that was the truth. White Emperor was killed by him, and the remaining Ghost Practitioners had mostly fled. Even if there were a few small ones that escaped the net, their strengths were negligible.
“Dead? Fled?” The middle-aged man’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“Who killed them? And how did they flee?” The middle-aged man continued to inquire.
Could it be that others had beaten him to the punch?
The middle-aged man frowned internally.
He somewhat believed Lin Yun’s words because he had briefly explored the entire space of this universe just now and indeed hadn’t found many powerful Ghost Practitioners. This was very unusual compared to the vast amount of Netherworld energy that permeated the universe.
However, he was somewhat annoyed by Lin Yun’s attitude.
A mere cultivator at the middle Saint Lord level dared to speak to him, a superior Saint King, in such a manner?
This country bumpkin-like object, could it be that he didn’t know what a realm Saint King stands for, let alone what a superior Saint King represents!
He had sensed the breath of this universe from Lin Yun, and since this universe had just been breached, the term “country bumpkin” wasn’t casually thought up. This young man very likely didn’t know that beyond the Saint Lord Realm, there was the Saint King Realm!
“I killed them; the remaining Ghost Practitioners feared death and naturally fled. Just now, you should have seen the two passageways that connected this universe to the Netherworld; they all ran back to the Netherworld. If you pursue them now, you might catch some!” Lin Yun said with a slight smile.
Because only thirty-six layers of the Netherworld had been breached, and the laws of heaven and earth provided substantial protection to the Netherworld, cultivators from the Spirit World entering the Netherworld would face greater suppression of their strength.
It remained to be seen whether this superior Saint King dared to enter the Netherworld.
If he dared, without saying much, there are still some Ghost Practitioners at the White Emperor’s level in the Netherworld, it’s just a matter of whether this superior Saint King has the guts to hunt them down.
His battle with White Emperor wasn’t lengthy, and at that time, White Emperor’s strength was even more suppressed by the laws of the Spirit World. Nonetheless, he had a vague understanding of White Emperor’s true strength. Although White Emperor was a superior Saint King level Ghost Practitioner, he should be one of the more formidable ones among them; ordinary superior Saint King level Ghost Practitioners were no match for him.
White Emperor being one of the Nine Emperors of the Netherworld was probably not solely due to a single Destroying Heavenly Divine Thunder; his own strength was quite formidable indeed.
In the Netherworld, White Emperor’s strength wouldn’t be suppressed; in contrast, spirits entering the Netherworld would face significant suppression. If this superior Saint King dared to enter the Netherworld to hunt down strong entities like White Emperor, it wouldn’t exactly be seeking death, but it wouldn’t be far off.
