Leaving Chaos City!
Chapter 76 Leaving Chaos City!
Gu Ce was practicing his swordsmanship in his mansion in Chaos City, using his hand as a blade.
"Come see me immediately!" A voice rang directly in Gu Ce's ears and in his mind.
"Come to me immediately!" "Come to me immediately!" "Come to me immediately!" "Come to me immediately!"... The voices echoed again and again, causing all the 1000 geniuses who were sent there to stop cultivating.
"Has it finally arrived?" Gu Ce murmured.
Swish!Swish!Swish!
In the vast and boundless Chaos City, amidst the swirling currents, figures soared into the sky, all flying in the same direction.
Above Chaos City, a giant, dark blue fish, nearly a thousand meters long, flew over from the chaotic space that was sometimes broken and sometimes solidified, its tail fins swaying slowly. The aura of superiority that made people involuntarily submit came from this "dark blue fish" spaceship.
click!
The hatch on the belly of the "Big Fish" opened, and more than ten figures flew out, led by a purple-scaled man wearing a cyan battle robe. Suddenly, the "Big Fish," which had been hovering in mid-air, vanished.
Nine Swords Master!
"Greetings, Your Excellency!" A group of immortals bowed respectfully.
Gu Ce and the other geniuses also bowed respectfully in mid-air.
"snort!"
The Nine Swords Venerable snorted coldly, his indifferent eyes fixed on the people suspended below, bringing immense pressure.
The scene was completely silent.
"There are ten days left until you leave Chaos City," the Nine Swords Venerable said indifferently. "Even in a safe place like Chaos City, 20% of you still died. Who knows how many of you will survive when you return to your original universe?"
"For the next ten days, those who need to attempt the Heavenly Bridge should attempt it, and those who need to study the Chaos Stele should study it diligently. Once we leave Chaos City... it will be a long time before we can come back again," the Nine Swords Venerable said, waving his hand. "Go on, everyone. Gu Ce, come here for a moment."
With a single step, the Nine Swords Venerable vanished from the sky above Chaos City, along with Gu Ce.
The geniuses who were left standing there looking at each other in bewilderment soon dispersed.
……
In a remote area of Chaos City, there is a rather large but simple mansion.
"Haha, it's rare to have a good friend come to visit me."
With laughter, the dark door opened automatically, and a three-eyed old man dressed in what looked like a linen robe walked out.
Gu Ce recognized the three-eyed old man as none other than the guardian 'Kandri' who had created 52 clones to protect the Chaos Monument.
"It's been a long time, so I came to see you," the Nine Swords Venerable said with a smile.
The two walked together, and Nine Swords Venerable beckoned Gu Ce to follow them into the living room of the mansion.
Kander gestured for Nine Swords Venerable and Gu Ce to sit down, and said with a smile, "Nine Swords, you wouldn't come here if there was nothing wrong. So, what is it that you need to bring this little guy here?"
"Haha, then I won't hide it anymore," the Nine Swords Venerable laughed, glancing at Gu Ce as he spoke.
"There is a secret realm in the universe, which is estimated to be of an extremely high level. Anyone below the Venerable level who enters will almost certainly die, and even those who have reached the King level or Immortal level have a very low chance of surviving," the Nine Swords Venerable said with a smile.
"Oh? Interesting." Kandri was intrigued.
The secret realm of the universe?
Gu Ce was taken aback.
Cosmic secret realms are unique and mysterious places that naturally form during the evolution of the vast universe. Normal evolution might result in planets, stars, and the like... but due to special circumstances, extraordinary cosmic secret realms, such as those comparable in size to the 'Black Dragon Mountain Starfield,' can still appear.
The original universe is the largest, oldest, and most powerful known universe.
The secret realms in the original universe vary in their level of danger and the treasures they contain. However, even the worst new universe secret realms can only be explored by at least a realm lord.
For example, in the earliest days of the Dry Sea Secret Realm, there were a large number of world lord-level sea beasts, and even the Dry Sea God Lord and the Mirage Sea God Lord, two immortal beings, were born there.
Later, as the two gods fell and time passed, the Dry Sea Secret Realm gradually weakened.
Speaking of the cosmic secret realm, Gu Ce had some vague guesses in his mind as to why the Nine Swords Venerable had brought him here.
as predicted.
"Gu Ce, as far as I know, your two senior brothers are exploring that secret realm. I wonder if you could contact them? I want to buy some information," the Nine Swords Venerable said with a smile, and Kander also looked at Gu Ce.
"I'm sorry, Venerable One." Gu Ce shook his head slightly. "I haven't met those two senior brothers yet either. According to Senior Brother Lingji, they are exploring within the secret realm and it's inconvenient for them to enter the virtual universe."
"Alright then," said the Nine Swords Venerable with some regret.
However, he didn't have high hopes for it. He brought Gu Ce over mainly to make a good connection.
"Gu Ce, although you have become the master of the Ice Peak Lord and will not be under my command in the future, I still want to thank you for guiding Bo Lan onto the right path and giving me such an excellent disciple," the Nine Swords Venerable said with a smile.
With Bolan's talent, he may well grow into a peak king like Longyu King, or even have a slight hope of reaching the level of a cosmic venerable.
Having such a disciple is quite rare for the Nine Swords Venerable.
But that only applies to rare occurrences.
"Your Excellency, this has little to do with me," Gu Ce said earnestly.
"Haha." The Nine Swords Venerable chuckled. "After leaving Chaos City, you can take on a dangerous mission called the Seven Flames Palace. There are opportunities there that suit you. As for whether you can seize them, that's up to you."
Gu Ce's eyes lit up. "Thank you, Venerable One!"
"Go." The Nine Swords Venerable waved his hand, sending Gu Ce back to his residence in Chaos City.
……
During the last ten days in Chaos City, not many unexpected things happened.
Luo Feng attempted to break through to the sixth level of the Heavenly Bridge, but failed once again.
Luo Feng had already failed once before.
At this moment, his understanding of the fundamental laws of space was just about on par with Gu Ce's during the Genius Battle.
Gu Ce still had three more opportunities to comprehend the Chaos Stele, but he didn't use them during these ten days. After all, his understanding of the laws couldn't increase dramatically in a short time, and the problems he encountered hadn't yet reached the point where he needed to comprehend the Chaos Stele to solve them.
Moreover, as a member of the Primal Secret Realm, he has an immortal teacher he can ask questions to.
Teacher Norton, Ian, the leader of the guard, and even the Silver Moon King, the Ripple Venerable... the Lord of the Ice Peak.
Gu Ce could ask them about any problems they encountered in their cultivation.
"Senior sister, you've arrived."
On his last day in Chaos City, Gu Ce looked on with delight as a stunningly beautiful woman appeared before him.
Venerable Ripples!
Thank you to "The Dark-Bellied Orange" and "With Gentle Eyes" for the monthly tickets.
