Chapter 638
Different Time and Space
"Lord Lin Yang, according to the rules, as a trial participant who has achieved a top-ten ranking on their first entry into the Primordial Land, you are qualified to receive further guidance."
After having the people from Qiongyuan Palace wait outside, Daoist Qingshan closed the gate of the courtyard and began discussing serious matters with Lin Yang.
"Further guidance?" Lin Yang's heart stirred. "Is it about the secrets of the so-called Primordial Land?"
“You could say that,” Daoist Qingshan nodded, then added, “But before that, let me tell you about the rewards you will receive this time.”
With a wave of his hand, Daoist Qingshan produced a dark-colored token with the character "功" (merit) engraved on it.
"This is a battle merit token. You have completed the challenge and achieved the first ranking in the Primordial Land. You have received an initial battle merit reward of 30,000 points."
Daoist Qingshan handed the token directly to Lin Yang, explaining as he did so:
"This battle merit token is exclusive to the Tai Shi Battlefield. Battle merits can be accumulated and will not be cleared, but they cannot be transferred. Once you bind it to it, the information will be automatically recorded, and this token will become your unique token."
Lin Yang took the token, somewhat puzzled: "Battle merits? The Primordial Battlefield? What kind of place is that?"
"The Primordial Battlefield is a region that connects the alien species. There, different alien species and special alien races that are not from our high-level spacetime or the spacetime races under our jurisdiction will appear in an endless stream. Killing alien species and special alien races will earn you battle merits."
Qingshan Daojun explained again:
"You will learn the specifics later. Now, I will take you to visit the Tai Shi Battlefield."
As he spoke, Daoist Qingshan gestured, and a force enveloped Lin Yang, causing the two of them to disappear from their original positions.
At the same time, Wan Fei and the others arrived outside the door.
Wan Fei was somewhat surprised to see the people from Qiongyuan Palace waiting outside the door.
"Why don't you come inside?" Wan Fei asked Su Canghai.
"The guide is inside; please wait," Su Canghai said in a low voice.
Wan Fei immediately stopped talking and waited silently.
"Lord Lin Yang is highly regarded; even people from Lanlou Kingdom have crossed the border to come here."
Daoist Qingshan glanced outside and chuckled.
Lin Yang was both amused and exasperated.
The scene changes in the next instant.
The two appeared in a place where yellow sand filled the sky.
The endless expanse of yellow sand, with howling winds, made me feel utterly desolate.
"This is the Battlefield of the Primordial Beginning."
Qingshan Daojun spoke, guiding Lin Yang to move forward at a constant speed in one direction.
Before long, Lin Yang saw a series of strange creatures.
These strange creatures sat on the yellow sand, exuding a chilling aura.
This alien species looks somewhat different from the alien species in the Primordial Land.
"These are Rock Giants, and they are stronger than Thunder Giants."
Daoist Qingshan spoke up to explain for Lin Yang, while leading Lin Yang closer.
Lin Yang was secretly alarmed: "Guide, if we get any closer, we'll be discovered."
Aoyama smiled and said, "They won't find out."
"Can't you detect it?" Lin Yang was a little puzzled.
Qingshan Daojun had already arrived in front of the giant rock monster's group.
Just as he said.
Even standing right in front of this group of aliens, they acted as if they didn't see them and continued to rest in the same spot.
"What a brilliant move." Lin Yang immediately understood.
This is because Daoist Qingshan is too powerful, and he used his power to hide them.
This hidden power is so strong that even if it were right in front of them, these alien species would not be able to detect it.
"At such close range, even a species with extremely keen senses can't detect this person. This guide must be at least at the Dao Tribulation Realm, right?" Lin Yang secretly guessed.
Qingshan Daojun did not stop and continued walking.
Along the way, when they encountered different exotic creatures, Daoist Qingshan would give Lin Yang a brief introduction.
Finally, after traveling for half a day, Lin Yang saw some cultivators.
This is a small team of about a dozen people, and some of them exude an aura that suggests they are at the Dao Realm.
They also failed to find Daoist Qingshan and Lin Yang resting behind a small hill.
Strangely, the moment Lin Yang saw these dozen or so people, he had a strange feeling.
It was as if they were not people from a higher dimension.
It's a feeling that's hard to describe.
There was no communication whatsoever, and the other party did not reveal their identity in any way.
But there's just this strange feeling.
These dozen or so people are not from any of the three major domains!
Suddenly, Daoist Qingshan paused and asked Lin Yang, "Have you felt anything unusual?"
Lin Yang paused, then immediately replied, "Guide, I have a feeling that they are not from the three major domains? I wonder if this counts as an unusual feeling?"
Daoist Qingshan smiled slightly: "That's exactly the feeling."
"You're really not from the three major domains?" Lin Yang was surprised.
Qingshan Daojun said nothing more, nor did he intend to explain. He continued to walk past the dozen or so people and headed in another direction.
Seeing this, Lin Yang had no choice but to follow.
Soon, in another direction, Lin Yang saw some more cultivators. This group had more than twenty people.
Lin Yang felt a strange sensation rise in his heart again; these twenty-odd people did not seem to be from the three major domains either.
Furthermore, they didn't seem to be from the same place as the small team of a dozen or so people from before. This made things even stranger.
Not only could they sense that the other party was not from the three major domains, but they could also sense that this team was not from the same place as the previous team.
This feeling was so strange that Lin Yang couldn't describe it at all.
Qingshan Daojun asked again, "How should we deal with this unusual sensation this time?"
Lin Yang also truthfully answered his feelings.
Daoist Qingshan nodded slightly with a smile, but as before, he didn't say anything more and led Lin Yang forward again.
Before long, another small team of twenty or thirty people appeared in front of us.
Lin Yang also had a strange feeling again, as if this team of twenty or thirty people and the two teams from before came from completely different places.
This time, Daoist Qingshan didn't ask anything, and his speed suddenly increased considerably.
Lin Yang had no choice but to suppress his doubts and follow closely.
After speeding up, Lin Yang saw at least dozens more teams along the way that gave him strange feelings.
These teams all seem to come from different places.
Finally, Daoist Qingshan slowed down again and stopped in front of an eight-person team.
Lin Yang's eyes widened slightly at this.
The feeling this eight-person team gave him was different from the dozens of teams he had seen before.
These are cultivators from the three great domains!
Qingshan Daojun stopped there and did not go any further. The eight people did not find anything unusual. After a short rest, they cautiously moved forward in one direction and were soon swallowed up by the yellow sand.
Only after the eight people were completely out of sight did Daoist Qingshan speak:
"Lord Lin Yang, along the way you have encountered different cultivators and strange beings. Do you have many questions?"
Lin Yang nodded: "Yes."
He expressed all his special feelings.
Daoist Qingshan smiled and nodded: "Your intuition is correct. The dozens of cultivator groups you just encountered all came from different high-level time-spaces!"
"Just as I thought!" Lin Yang was surprised, but he quickly accepted the astonishing news.
Along the way, he had already begun to have some guesses.
High-altitude spacetime is not the only one!
Just as endless spacetime is not unique, there are also multiple higher-level spacetimes.
But at the same time, even greater doubts arose in my mind.
The system has stated that the higher-level spacetime is the final spacetime region, the endpoint of all endless spacetime.
But now it turns out that even high-level spacetime isn't unique.
That's really bizarre.
Is there an error in the system information?
Or is there another reason?
He looked at Daoist Qingshan, hoping for an explanation.
Daoist Qingshan turned to look at the horizon beyond the endless yellow sand, and began to walk again, saying slowly:
"High-level spacetime is indeed the end of the spacetime region, but it is not the only one that exists."
"You're from the cosmic region, so it should be easy for you to understand."
"Just like the many universes in the universe, there are also many coexisting in higher-level spacetime."
"However, while it is easy to travel between different universes, it is difficult to travel between different higher-level spacetimes. They can only be linked through specific regions."
"For example, this Tai Shi Battlefield is one of the connecting areas."
"Similarly, there are many alien species and special races. They come from special places and are the opposite of us cultivators."
"There is no possibility of peaceful coexistence between us and other species and special alien races; it is only a matter of life and death."
As Qingshan Daojun spoke, a team appeared before Lin Yang.
This team, unlike the aliens and cultivators, gave Lin Yang a completely different feeling.
They look almost identical to humans, with similar appearances, and some even possess advanced intelligence!
"This is a special alien race."
Qingshan Daojun said:
"Unlike the different races born within the universe, they are an alien race from a special place, hence the name 'Special Alien Race' to distinguish them."
"The non-human alien races in the universe and endless spacetime are different from us humans, even though we have internal conflicts."
"Alien races born in higher-level spacetimes and any spacetimes or regions under the jurisdiction of higher-level spacetimes will not be accepted by these special alien races."
"Therefore, at the top level, we humans and the powerful alien races still join forces and are collectively referred to as the cultivator forces."
"And the special alien races and the alien species are also two different forces, and they are also opposed to each other."
"Because advanced mutants also possess extraordinary intelligence."
"Besides these, there are some special cases."
"But so far, our biggest enemies are the two special forces: the alien races and the alien species."
Daoist Qingshan turned to look at Lin Yang: "Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Lin Yang nodded as if he understood: "Does the Guide mean that besides the higher-level time and space, there are some special places that have given birth to two kinds of beings: alien species and special alien races? They are not born in any time or space or universe, so they are inherently in conflict with us cultivators?"
Daoist Qingshan smiled and nodded: "You have good comprehension; you can understand it that way."
"What about higher-level timelines? How many are there?" Lin Yang asked, somewhat curious about this question.
