Chapter 5801: The spring of truth
"What is the edge of reality?"
Lu Ming asked the horseman.
He guessed that the reason why so many experts had gathered in this area was related to the ’edge of reality’.
the edge of reality means the edge of the real world. You might not know what the real world is ...
The horseman was about to explain what the real world was but was interrupted by Lu Ming.
"The edge of the real world? Could it be that the true universe world is close to the real world?"
Lu Ming was shocked.
how did this native of the Xia clan know about the real world? "
The horse-headed man was curious and guessed that Lu Ming had heard about it from other people in the true universe world. He did not dare to neglect his words and quickly replied, I’m not sure about the details. I’ve only heard that there’s a crack in the primal Chaos void that leads to the real world. That’s why all of you creation realm experts created the true universe world here.
Lu Ming’s pupils constricted. 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝘤𝘰𝑚
A crack in the real world?
There was actually a crack to the real world near the true universe world.
Unfortunately, clear sky primogenitor had fallen into a deep sleep. Otherwise, he would have immediately shared this news with clear sky primogenitor.
since there’s a crack in the real world, why don’t the Masters of creation go to the real world through the crack? "
Lu Ming asked.
"I’m not sure about that. After all, I’m just a nine transformations Immortal King. My status in the ancient Phoenix true Palace isn’t high. Perhaps, those immortal emperors know about this secret."
The horse-headed man said.
In the true universe world, there was a place that was different from universe ocean or the creation continent.
In the true universe world, universe-grade existences were collectively called immortal emperors. There was no such thing as immortal emperors.
Immortal Emperor was the only honorific for universe-grades.
As for half-step universes, they didn’t dare to claim to be emperors.
In universe ocean, those half-step universes dared to call themselves ’emperors’ mainly because there were too few universe-grade existences.
However, the true universe world was different. Universe-grades were everywhere and emperors stood side by side. How could a half-step into the universe dare to call themselves an ’Emperor’? that was a taboo and was simply courting death.
"So, the Xia clan is only the Chen clan."
Lu Ming sighed in his heart.
The last page of the Jade book was the genealogy of the true universe world. It recorded the thousands of races in the true universe world. The Xia clan was the Chen clan. In the true universe world, they were as lowly as dust. In front of other races, they had no status. They could kill anyone they wanted.
"Tell me, why did you come here? Why did you harvest the souls?"
Lu Ming continued to ask.
"This is a trial, a trial of the twelve true palaces."
you should know that universe-grade existences have to absorb the power of truth if they want to improve their cultivation, right? in a special area near the rift to the real world, the power of truth will overflow and form a spring of truth.
but in the true universe world, the immortal emperors are on the same level. The amount of power of truth required is too much. The power of truth in the spring of truth is simply not enough to be divided. Therefore, in the distant past, the twelve true palaces had a joint discussion and decided to compete for the ownership of the spring of truth through a trial.
the powerhouses of the twelve true palaces created this universe together. As their goal was to compete for the spring of truth, they called it the real universe.
the trials are held once every 1000 star years. After the end of each trial, the powerhouses of the 12 true palaces will clear out all the living beings in this universe. Then, each true Palace will choose a dust tribe and capture an equal number of dust tribe members to let them reproduce in this universe. After 1000 star years, the 12 true palaces will send existences below the universe grade into this universe to train and fight. The goal is to harvest the souls of the dust tribe corresponding to the other true palaces. The points are calculated according to the number of souls. Of course, it is also related to the level of cultivation."
for example, the dust Race that we chose was the horn race. After 1000 stellar years of reproduction, the horn race has a huge population. If we want to get a good ranking in the trial, we have to protect the members of the horn race first. If the horn race is killed, our points will be deducted.
the other option is to kill the dust Race selected by the other true palaces and collect their souls to obtain points. Other than the horn race, the other eleven Dust Race are our targets.
at the end of the trial, the higher the total score of the true Hall, the higher their ranking will be. They will be allocated more spring of truth, and vice versa.
The horse-headed man explained briefly.
Lu Ming could not calm down after hearing that. There was a fire burning in his eyes.
The Xia clan was actually a tool for the twelve true palaces to hunt and kill.
What’s the difference between this animal?
No, he was worse than a beast.
They would throw the Xia clan and the other dust clansmen into this universe and allow them to reproduce for a thousand star years. Then, everyone would enter the universe to hunt them down and harvest their souls to obtain points.
Cruelty, blood, ants, tools ...
The status of the dust Race was lower than what Lu Ming had imagined. They were truly as lowly as dust and their lives were like grass. They could kill at will.
He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. Then, Lu Ming asked the horse-headed man a few more questions before he sealed it in the array and asked another horse-headed man.
The horse-headed man didn’t dare to hide anything. He told them everything he knew in full detail. There wasn’t much difference between him and the previous horse-headed man.
After asking the questions, Lu Ming attacked the two horsemen and destroyed their immortal souls.
Lu Ming had also obtained a few black beads from the other party.
It was filled with the souls that had been harvested.
From the other party’s words, Lu Ming knew that this black bead was called the soul gathering Pearl. It was refined by an existence at the immortal Emperor level. It was set with a restriction that no one below the immortal Emperor level could break.
Lu Ming calmed down and carefully digested the information he had obtained.
It seemed that he had accidentally barged into the true universe world’s trial grounds.
It was no wonder that there were universe-grade martialists guarding the great cosmos. This was to prevent anyone from disrupting the trial or to prevent anyone from cheating.
the strongest group of people under the immortal Emperor realm from the twelve true palaces have all entered the real universe to compete. It seems like the few I’ve met are just small fries. The top half-step universes have yet to appear. It seems like the great Yue dynasty’s imperial capital is most likely in trouble.
Lu Ming pondered.
Different cultivation levels would give different points.
There was a huge difference between the points of a God and an immortal.
These nine transformations immortal kings were in charge of wiping out the major tribes and state cities, while most of the top-notch half-step universes had attacked the imperial capital.
"I have no intention of interfering in the competition between the twelve true palaces but I must protect Youyou and the Shen clan."
Lu Ming pondered for a while, then he personally refined array flags and inserted them all over the state city to strengthen the city’s protective array.
With Lu Ming’s support, the city’s defender array became even stronger and was now strong enough to withstand the attacks of the nine transformations Immortal King.
This was not enough. In the days that followed, Lu Ming had been strengthening the array and increasing its power.
