Chapter 703: A Different World

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

The night was like ink, pitch black.

There were only light rays shedding down from the moon that revealed the immortal like figure and the handsome face.

Yes, after seeing that unbelievable scenery, Ling Xian was stunned frozen.

It was all because that scenery was far too awe-struck and far too unbelievable.

Reflected off his bleeding eyes was a grand and heroic image. Even with his mentality, he couldn’t help but be a little surprised.

There were mountains, rivers, flowers, grass, animals, monsters, men, and women. Everything that exists in this world could be seen in the other world. Everything was extremely realistic and did not seem to be an illusion.

It was as if there existed a real world, a world that was independent from the nine continents.

This scenery was mysterious, eerie, special, and grand. Anyone who sees it would be dragged into a state of shock.

“What did I just see? A real existing world?”

Murmuring, disbelief flooded Ling Xian’s eyes. He questioned if his eyes were having problems and that was why he had to see an image of a world that does not exist.

Very quickly, he denied this suspicion.

No matter whose eyes were at fault, there was no way his Eyes of Execution would be at fault. Plus, don’t forget, his eyes had the ability to break items down and see their actual property.

In other words, whatever it was that he saw, it existed. Or else there was no way it would’ve slipped past the Eyes of Execution’s ability.

After he chased away his suspicion, Ling Xian became even more shocked; almost to a point of no restoration.

A world that really existed but different from the nine continents. Even the most powerful cultivators would be astounded at this!

“Impossible, this is impossible.”

Ling Xian remained shocked. As he watched the flashing images before his eyes, disbelief flooded his face.

He had seen a lot and experienced richly. But he has never heard that there was another world out there. To him, to anyone in the Taoism community, the impact of this discovery was powerful!

In other words, the sight before him crushed his world view and brought extreme shock upon himself.

“No, this cannot be real. This must be an illusion created by some omnipotent. There is no way that is real.”

Ling Xian continued to speak to himself, finding it hard to believe that what was happening was real. Or in other words, he didn’t want to believe.

Since he was born, he was taught that there were only nine continents in the world. Only after he drifted to the Shi Ao Island, did he find out that there was a world outside of the continents. But in general, whether it was the continents or the ocean, they were all in the same world.

This idea had accompanied him for many years and had been rooted in his mind. He never questioned it for a second.

Yet now, there was a different world in front of him that challenged something he never questioned. How could he accept this?

However, as much as he refused to believe it, he somewhat believed it.

Because what he just seen was far too realistic.

The moon, the star, the ocean, the mountain, the living beings… everything flashed across his eyes. Everything was realistic and lively.

More importantly, his Eyes of Execution didn’t see any of that as unusual. In other words, the sceneries before his eyes were real and they were truly existing.

Thus, Ling Xian fell into a state of confusion.

“Was it real or was it an illusion?”

Ling Xian’s brows locked tightly together. Though it’s been a long while did he had seen those images, he could not recover from it.

What could he do? This entire thing was far too shocking. If it were true, then the entire Taoism community would fall into a state of utter shock!

Luckily, his mentality was very firm and steady. After some time, he snapped back to reality and began to think logically again.

“It seems like the secret regarding the Guardian City was that. Fake or not, why would such an image exist in the City of Sin?”

Ling Xian’s brows furrowed tightly together. After pondering for a while, he formulated a theory that was most likely.

The theory was that the Guardian City was the entrance to that mysterious world. That was the only explanation to explain the strange images before him.

“That should be the entrance to that world.”

Ling Xian continued to frown as he mumbled to himself, “if that’s the case, then everything makes sense. The Eyes of Execution’s abilities must’ve transported me to the other world, which is why I could see that world.”

“What if the City of Sin was the entrance to that world and that world is also real. Then, does it mean that it is a world independent from the City of Sin, or is it the legendary… World of Immortals?”

Ling Xian continued to make assumptions. Because in his mind, he could only accept the idea that there was one world outside of the nine continents.”

That would be the World of Immortals that everyone was so eager to get to.

Thinking about that excited him. Passion and heat crawled up his face.

The World of Immortals!

Why did cultivators cultivate? Why did they choose the rocky and swirly path? It was to enter the world of Immortal and fly high, it was to live forever!

In other worlds, entering the World of Immortals was everyone’s ultimate goal. It was the Heaven everyone worked towards!

Anyone would be excited to a point of no return right now and they would be doing whatever they can to try and enter!

Especially now, in a world where nobody has been able to enter that World for 30,000 years, that idea excited everyone very much. If he had others around him who witnessed what he witnessed, they would be in a delirious state by now!

However, just as Ling Xian became exhilarated, he realized something that right away woke him up.

“No, that’s not right.”

He forced himself to calm down and analyze the situation logically, “Though I have never seen the World of Immortals, I understand that it is an extremely powerful world.”

“Excluding myself, even if the legendary omnipotent beings saw it, they would be immediately slain!”

As he spoke, he finally calmed down and denied his original theory.

What kind of place was the World of Immortals?

It was a place everyone wanted to be in but it was also the most dangerous place. This was obvious based on analyzing all the people whose entered that world.

To know that only the most powerful could fly past the clouds and enter that world. From this alone, it was obvious that only those cultivators who have reached their utter peak could handle the energy given off by the World of Immortals.

In other words, if the world he saw was the World of Immortals, then Ling Xian would’ve been killed by the shapeless guardian of Taoism. Plus, why would the entrance of the World of Immortals be here?

If the entrance was really here, then the entire Taoism world would be destroyed by the energy given out by the World of Immortals!

“I must have gone dizzy from the idea of that world and lost my composure.” Ling Xian bitterly chuckled, thinking that he was imagining things.

Not only was what he was saying unrealistic, it was next to impossible.

After denying this guess, Ling Xian once again frowned and mumbled to himself, “It wasn’t the entrance to the World of Immortals. Could it be that there really is a world outside of this one?”

As he spoke, a statement that was full of exclamation arose.

“Stop thinking so much. Seal it.”
