Chapter 117: Another scam
“Ah……”
The Blood Venerate gave an astonished cry as his body atop black bear began to tremble and his face turned white. It should be because his soul had been injured by the Second Luminary Demonic Dance.
Lin Mu Yu’s slowly exited his sea of consciousness and returned back into his body. He gave a sigh of relief, but his complexion looked very ugly. His eyes looked over at the Blood Venerate with an imposing gaze and he said, “Your heart reading technique has failed. So you have been using this technique to control a 3rd Tier Heaven Realm expert like Scarlet Ghost? You actually wanted to use this method to control me too?”
The Blood Venerate calmed down and gave a faint smile, “Child, you’re overthinking things, I just wanted to learn a bit more about you. If I wanted to kill you, I would have ordered Scarlet Ghost to kill you already. I think you should already know that Scarlet Ghost can easily kill you.”
Lin Mu Yu did not deny this. He nodded and said, “Then why did you want me to come to the third floor?”
“Do you know who I am?” The Blood Venerate gave a faint smile.
“Who are you?”
“I am called Qin Hong, I am the current ruler, Qin Jin’s grandfather’s little brother. What, you don’t believe me?”
The Blood Venerate gave a faint smile and suddenly raised his arm, at this moment, a golden chain appeared inside of his palm. It was the God Binding Lock, there was no better proof than this!
Lin Mu Yu was secretly startled, “You’re a member of the Qin Family, why are you imprisoned here?”
The Blood Venerate gave a cold laugh, “Because of one wrong choice. I brought 300000 soldiers from the Tong Tian Xing Province to capture Orchid Goose City and tried to install myself as the emperor. It was a pity that I was defeated, my rebellion failed, and I was sent into the Heaven Connecting Tower. Brat, when I entered into your sea of consciousness, I found that you aren’t from this world. Do you want to return to your own world?”
Lin Mu Yu was stunned. If he had told anyone that he was from another world, there would have been no one that believed him. But the Blood Venerate had his heart reading technique, so of course he would believe him.
Seeing Lin Mu Yu’s surprised appearance, the Blood Venerate could not help smiling. Then he said, “Your father Lin Shun should be missing you very much right now right? Moreover, your previous world seemed to be so colourful. Being able to run unrivalled in your game and the brothers that you had. That colourful nightlife and that DJ girl Susan from the Su He Bar might still be thinking of you everyday, are you willing to give all that up? Do you want to go back?”
“Of course I want to……” He replied in a low voice.
The Blood Venerate laughed and said, “I do have a way for you to pass through planes and re-enter your original world. I only want to ask you one thing, are you willing to accept my help?”
Lin Mu Yu immediately gathered himself and he released the Spiritual Pulse Technique to defend his sea of consciousness. He would not let the Blood Venerate enter his sea of consciousness once again and read his mind. Then he gave a faint smile and said, “Helping me go back to my world, what advantages does that bring you?”
“Why do I need to gain something from it? I’ve been in this Heaven Connecting Tower for close to a hundred years, what is there that I can’t let go? As long as I can help you, I’ll be happy.” The Blood Venerate spread his hands out which made him look very benevolent.
Lin Mu Yu was finally fully on guard at this point. Someone helping others for no reason, it seemed very unreasonable. Moreover, with someone like the Blood Venerate who even fought with his own brother for the throne, he was not someone that would casually help others.
“Then tell me your plan…..” Lin Mu Yu lightly said.
The Blood Venerate gently rubbed the battle bears head. Then he smiled and said, “There’s no point in explaining, come to the top of the tower with me. As a person that entered the Heaven Connecting Tower, aren’t you curious about what’s at the top of this strange place?”
Lin Mu Yu nodded, “Then please guide me there.”
“Xiao Hei, let’s go!”
The battle bear gave a roar and carried the Blood Venerate to the fourth floor.
Lin Mu Yu gripped the prairie sword and walked over fully alert. Scarlet Ghost walked behind them with his hands behind his back, almost as if he was afraid Lin Mu Yu would suddenly attack the Blood Venerate.
The fourth floor was a very empty place, there was nothing there.
The fifth floor was the same.
So was the sixth floor.
Just like this, they kept going up floor by floor. Once they reached the seventeenth floor, they were able to see the lightning vortex outside from a small window. There was a scarlet vortex swirling around the tower itself, once the went past the eighth floor, it was only a single step away from the tower.
“Hua, hua, hua……”
The wild wind blew, making it almost impossible for people to keep their eyes open.
The Blood Venerate did not move. He had already released a domain around him, blocking off any intrusions.
Lin Mu Yu released the gourd wall to protect himself.
The eighteenth floor was the top of the Heaven Connecting Tower!
Looking around, one could see Orchid Goose City and everything around the tower. The people on the ground could never see the top of the tower, but the people inside the tower could clearly see its surroundings. This was truly mysterious.
Above them, there was a blood coloured vortex and inside of the vortex, there was something that was sucking everything up. Leaves continued to fly up and were all absorbed into the vortex. Lin Mu Yu battle dress was being blown around by the wind. It was a good thing he had a strong cultivation, or else he would not have been able to resist the pull.
He looked over at the Blood Venerate who had an indifferent look. It seemed that the Blood Venerate had only learned about his previous world when he used his heart reading technique and did not discover the Seven Luminary Demon King, otherwise he would not be this calm. After all, the Seven Luminary Demon King was a shocking existence to normal people.
Lin Mu Yu narrowed his eyes as the looked at the blood coloured vortex, then he asked, “What is this?”
“Plane Crack.”
The Blood Venerate gave a faint smile, “There is only one of these cracks in this world. After you leap into it, you’ll be able to enter another plane, that’s why I’ve brought you here. Your world might be behind this demonic eye, but you’ll need to wait a while.”
“Why?” Lin Mu Yu asked.
“Because the plane behind this Plane Crack changes every one hundred years. Currently, the world behind it is the Heavenly Plane.”
“Heavenly Plane?” Lin Mu Yu was stunned.
“It’s also known as the God Plane.” The Blood Venerate raised his smiling head and said, “The main world is ever changing. There are countless ways for one to increase their lifespan, but one can never become immortal. The body of mortals cannot withstand the attacks of the sands of time. Child, there are two ways for you to return to your original world. One is through cultivation, once you reach the God Realm, you’ll be able to pass through planes by yourself. But to reach the God Realm, you’ll need to practice for several hundred years and by then, your family will have all died, so there would be no meaning in going back. The other way is to forcefully leave your current plane and enter the God Plane to practice a godly cultivation technique!”
Lin Mu Yu was stunned. He then smiled and said, “If this Plane Crack leads to the God Plane, why don’t you or Scarlet Ghost go in?”
The Blood Venerate gave a sigh, “Both my legs have already been cut off and cannot be restored. Xiao He is a beast so he cannot enter the God Place. As for Scarlet Ghost, it’s even simpler. He is a bloodstained mercenary king, the evil in him is too heavy, so the space time fluctuations will destroy him. You as a child are very simple minded and you have the true dragon’s bloodline, this world’s strongest body. The space time fluctuations cannot destroy your body, so you are the most suitable person to enter the God Plane.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes.”
The Blood Venerate lifted his hand and an invisible strength filled air. Immediately the blood coloured vortex disappeared and the other side of the Plane Crack was slowly revealed, showing a magnificent scene. There was a lush green forest with a mountain range floating over it. Above the mountain range, were floating spiritual palaces. Cranes flew in a flock and clouds drifted across the sky. In the distance, one could see the immortals flying through the clouds above the mountains.
“This is the God Plane?!” Lin Mu Yu’s eyes popped out as his heart was filled with chaos. It was just like a 3D screen, very good to look at!
“That’s right, this is the God Plane.”
The Blood Venerate gave a faint smile and said, “It will take you half an incense of time to pass through the space time portal and your true dragon bloodline will definitely keep your body safe. If you want to become a God Realm expert, there’s no need to hesitate, but I will not force you. If you want to stay here in the Fragmented Cauldron Continent, I won’t blame you.”
At this moment, the snide laughter of the Seven Luminary Demon King came from Lin Mu Yu’s mind, “Ha, this old bastard. He thinks he can trick me like this? Lin Mu Yu, if you want to die, then go over. I guarantee you’ll die an ugly death.”
“Why?” Lin Mu Yu asked in his mind.
The Seven Luminary Demon King’s voice was very sharp, “Hei, hei, hei, hei……You can see the other side of this space with your Spiritual Pulse Technique, why do you need to still ask me?”
“Un!”
This one point helped Lin Mu Yu remember. He immediately calmed his mind and activated the Spiritual Pulse Technique. His spiritual sense directly flew into the Plane Crack and the moment it entered in, the beautiful Heavenly Plane image completely disappeared and a blood red purgatory appeared. There was an endless sea of scarlet magma and there were countless ghost wails coming from within the sea. Above a solitary hill, there was a giant person who was half submerged in the magma. He angrily shouted, “Qin Hong, why had you not sent father another soul yet!? If you don’t send it soon, this Fire Essence Spirit King will make living worse than death for you!”
Lin Mu Yu was a little surprised and he quickly retracted his spiritual sense.
“Hu……”
He gave a sigh of relief and then looked over at the Blood Venerate. He smiled and said, “Since senior cannot enter the God Plane by himself, how about I carry senior into the God Plane? We’ll both become gods, how about that?”
The Blood Venerate was a little stunned, but he seemed to understand something. He laughed and said, “I can’t seem to trick you……That’s right, the plane behind this crack is actually the eleventh purgatory, the plane guarded by the Fire Essence Spirit King. The Fire Essence Spirit King needs souls for his cultivation, so I’ve sent the majority of people that enter the Heavenly Connecting Tower over to him and he gives me the longevity that I need. As for you……Hei hei! You’re a special little brat, you actually weren’t tricked……”
After saying this, the Blood Venerate raised his hand and released his battle qi. Then he said, “Since you aren’t willing to enter by yourself, then this old man will have to personally throw you in.”
Lin Mu Yu gave a low roar and the gourd wall was activated. He gripped the prairie sword in his hand and the fire jiao began to roar as he prepared to fight!
At this moment, the Seven Luminary Demon King suddenly spoke out, “Lin Mu Yu, don’t send yourself to your death. Listen to me, jump into the Plane Crack and I’ll help you defeat the Fire Essence Spirit King.”
“Can you defeat the Fire Essence Spirit King?” Lin Mu Yu asked.
The contempt in the Seven Luminary Demon King could not be hidden, “Using the words of your world, something like the Fire Essence Spirit King cannot even compare with a single one of this king’s shoes!”
