Chapter 911 - Nine Layer Space

Chapter 911: Nine Layer Space

Genta looked forward expressionlessly. His expression was utterly cold. If he pitied Xin Yichuan, who would pity him? For him, this trip to Hua Xia Country was a huge loss.

Xin Yichuan sighed softly. He looked somewhat longingly at the sky. Then, he slowly fell backward. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. When he fell to the ground, he no longer had any aura. He had severed his own heart meridian! It was rather easy for an ancient martial art practitioner to commit suicide. Xin Yichuan had no choice. Even if he did not die now, he would not be able to escape death in the future. He would even involve his family and clan.

The Huatian Palace would eventually find their way to him when investigating Xin Wuji. When they investigated him, the Huatian Palace would also find out about Genta’s clan. Only Xin Yichuan’s death could cut off this line of evidence.

Genta looked at the corpse on the ground and snorted coldly. Then, with a wave of his sleeve, he left with the black-robed ancient martial art practitioner.

Very quickly, some spectators in the Divine Dragon Nest noticed that something was off with Xin Yichuan and called the Huatian Palace Executors to take his corpse away.

Back in the challenge ring, many people had yet to recover from what they had just witnessed. They knew that Xin Wuji was dead and had died in the challenge ring. Whether he had died at the hands of Gu Jingman or whether he had died at the hands of the mysterious white hand image that had suddenly appeared, they did not know.

Without Xin Wuji, the Heaven List Tournament continued without being affected. For some participants, Xin Wuji’s death was undoubtedly a good thing. At least they had one less competitor.

Mo Wen was secure in first place. No one dared to contend with him. After all, the ability that he had previously displayed made people understand that they were no match for this youth.

In the second challenge ring, Gu Jingman hugged her elbows lazily. Still, no one came to challenge her. The participants were even more afraid of Gu Jingman than they were of Mo Wen. She had been able to cripple Xin Wuji in one blow. Her ability was utterly terrifying.

The challenge ring battles continued. Soon, the final ranking was decided, and the dust began to settle.

Mo Wen was first. Gu Jingman was second.

Wine and Meat Monk placed third, Water Deity ranked fourth, and Dark Hand was fifth. In reality, the ability of these three was equal, but Dark Hand was more proficient in assassination and not challenge ring battles. Hence, his ranking was behind the other two. As for Water Deity, she had expended a large portion of her own Inner Qi in order to drain Xin Wuji’s. In the end, she lost to Wine and Meat Monk and his rich and deep Inner Qi.

Sword Addict White Dust placed sixth, and Guo Mengqiao ranked seventh.

Lord Merciless was the worst off. Ninth place! If Xin Wuji had not perished in battle, he most likely would only have managed tenth place.

...

“Let’s go. That fellow actually placed first. That’s somewhat interesting.”

Yao Yu turned and left. The corners of her mouth were curled into a playful smile. After the Heaven List Tournament, her ten-day promise with Mo Wen would also be approaching. Initially, she was not concerned about it, but right now, she was looking forward to it slightly. If, as the person who was first on the Heaven List, Mo Wen lost pathetically at her hands, then what expression would those Hua Xia Country youth geniuses have? Just thinking about it made her very interested.

“Wow, Big Brother Mo came in first. He is so mighty!”

Su Wan’er jumped up excitedly. She might not understand what the realms above the Embryonic Breathing Realm were like. She also did not understand exactly how powerful the people in the challenge ring were. But she knew that the honor of being placed first meant that all the youth geniuses of the world were no match for Big Brother Mo. It was such a great honor!

Wang Qian also clenched her fists. She was exceptionally excited. Her dream was to become a chivalrous heroine and be able to make a huge name for herself in the martial arts circle. The Martial Arts Circle Convention was the grandest stage for the ancient martial art practitioners of the world. If she could one day stand in this challenge ring...

Yun Pengqing and Wang He looked at each other and saw a special look in each other’s eyes. The silent youth that had been following Su Wan’er previously was actually such an absolute figure! Who would have thought that they would have such an encounter in their lives?

It could be said that they and Mo Wen were people from two different worlds. The martial arts circle did not only comprise of their main space sects. The larger martial arts circle consisted of the Inner worlds and even the legendary hidden martial arts strain that lived under different rules. This type of strong practitioner was very rarely active in the main space martial arts circle. In their entire lives, they might not necessarily have the chance to meet one.

The Heaven List Tournament ended, and the spectators in the Divine Dragon Nest also gradually dispersed, the Heaven List Tournament participants among them. Some of the higher-ranking ones would head to the Huatian Palace Reward Palace Hall to receive the rewards given by the Huatian Palace. Only the top ten participants were enveloped by a beam of white light that descended from the heavens. The next moment, they had already quietly disappeared from the Divine Dragon Nest.

When Mo Wen once again opened his eyes and looked at the scenery around him, he discovered that he was standing under a galaxy. It seemed as though the galaxy was just a few feet from his head and that he could touch the numerous stars just by extending his hand. What surprised Mo Wen was that the stars were not simply scattered about. If one observed the galaxy as a whole, all the stars gathered together to form a statue of a goddess. She wielded a scepter and appeared distant and vast. It made Mo Wen subconsciously think of the goddess statue holding up the sky that he had seen in the sky mirror.

“Where are we?”

Beside him, a bizarre sound could be heard. This was definitely no ordinary place. Right now, they seemed to be standing on top of a mountain peak, but they did not know how big the mountain was. At first glance, it didn’t seem big. However, the more one looked at it, the bigger it seemed. It stretched endlessly, as though it was extending to the ends of the universe.

The sensation was peculiar. If one were to describe it, they would say that the space was neither big nor small. It seemed to have transcended the definition of space and time. Other than the mountain beneath their feet, the surrounding space was completely void of anything, stretching endlessly.

“Welcome to the Goddess’s World.”

An ethereal voice sounded. The next moment, a figure dressed in white appeared in the starry night. She was sacred and ethereal like a goddess. She seemed to be far away yet close by at the same time. No one could see her face clearly, yet everyone could sense her astonishing beauty.

Mo Qingge! Mo Wen’s eyelids twitched. The others didn’t recognize her, yet he sensed a familiar aura. It was Mo Qingge’s aura.

“The Goddess’s World!”

All hidden martial arts strain participants wore surprised looks. They were rather excited, and their eyes glowed fervently.

A glint of puzzlement flashed past Mo Wen’s eyes. He knew that one of the rewards of being ranked in the top ten of the Heaven List Tournament was to be able to enter the Goddess’s World once. However, he had no idea what kind of place the Goddess’s World was and what was so special about it.

He glanced around and noticed that apart from him and Gu Jingman, everyone else was excited beyond words. Even Guo Mengqiao, a member of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall, was thrilled.

Water Deity seemed to notice Mo Wen’s confusion. She slowly walked up to Mo Wen and softly said, “The Goddess’s World is a mysterious world that has existed since the Immemorial Age. There are endless mysteries and fateful encounters within it. Do you know about the carp leaping over the Dragon Gate and transcending into a dragon? This Goddess’s World can be said to be a Dragon Gate. Once one enters the Goddess’s World, they will have an opportunity to transcend.”

“So, you must seize this opportunity. It will definitely be tied to your future achievements.”

“Transcend. By entering the Goddess’s World, can one improve greatly?” Mo Wen asked curiously.

A mysterious world that had existed since the Immemorial Age! Mo Wen was somewhat astonished. After his conversation with Mo Qingge, he already knew some of the history of this world: the legendary Immemorial Age, Primeval Age, Ancient Age, and Middle Age.

The terrifying God of the Underworld was just a person during the Ancient Age. The Immemorial Age! How long ago was that? That age most likely did not even have any humans. When were the first humans born? Most likely, no one knew right now. However, it was definitely not five or ten thousand years ago. That was just the history of ordinary humans. It was rumored that humans had existed during the Primeval Age. As for whether they existed during the Immemorial Age, no one knew.

“Of course not. The Goddess’s World is but an opportunity. Whether or not you can transcend will depend on your abilities. But, no matter how we put it, one will certainly obtain rewards upon entering the Goddess’s World. Different people have different fateful encounters, and thus, their rewards will also be different.”

Water Deity shook her head. Some seniors of the hidden martial arts strain had also entered the Goddess’s World. Some of them had great fateful encounters. They improved greatly and broke through their shackles, reaching the Realm of Emptiness and skyrocketing to the legendary Spirit Realm. There were also some who had normal encounters and did not have much luck. In the end, they did not even break through to become immortal. This kind of occurrence was very common.

Working things out, among the hidden martial arts strain, ninety percent of the ancient martial art practitioners who could break through to the Realm of Emptiness and finally transcend had previously entered the Goddess’s World. From this, saying that the Goddess’s World was the ultimate opportunity was no exaggeration.

“Some among you might still be very confused and might not be familiar with the Goddess’s World. Then, let me explain. During the Immemorial Age, there was a kind, most venerable mighty figure called the Sacred Heart Lady. She was one of the Primogenitors of the Immemorial Demon Clan. This Goddess’s World is a space that she created. The Goddess’s World is divided into nine layers.”

As Mo Qingge explained, everyone obtained a deeper understanding of the Goddess’s World.

“This is a Nine Layer World where each layer is different. The higher the layer, the more mysterious and bizarre it is. However, which layer you may enter depends on your fate. That’s enough talking. The Sacred Heart Lady will decide which layer you will enter.”

Mo Qingge had just finished speaking when nine beams of starlight descended from the sky above. They enveloped each one of them separately.

Mo Wen felt an imposing pressure descend from the sky. Even his soul trembled, and he did not dare to move at all.

After Mo Qingge’s explanation, he knew that this was the Goddess’s World testing his potential. The higher his potential, the higher the layer of the Goddess’s World that he could enter. Rumor had it that survival during the Immemorial Age was brutal. All living beings slaughtered each other endlessly. They ate raw meat and drank blood. Wars could happen at any moment. The Sacred Heart Lady was kind and divine. She had a merciful heart and did not like killing. However, being born in the Immemorial Age, she could not stay out of these affairs. Hence, she created the Goddess’s World’s Nine Layer Space. This Nine Layer Space was a Nine Layer Prison used by the Sacred Heart Lady to seal away archaic creatures.

If the person was not extremely evil, the Sacred Heart Lady would not kill them. Instead, she would seal them away in the Goddess’ World.

During the Immemorial Age, the Sacred Heart Lady’s Nine Layer Space was a land of despair that archaic creatures were extremely terrified of. But, in the present day, it had become a holy land for ancient martial art practitioners. Due to the merciful heart of the Sacred Heart Lady, aside from the criminals that were imprisoned in it, anyone who entered the Goddess’s World would not face any mortal peril. Instead, they could learn many new things in the Goddess’s World.
