Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 446 432 Discovery
"A chance at Refining Void!"
Li Hanqiu, Li Qingshan, Wan Liugui, and others took a deep breath.
They were acutely aware of just how heavy this gift weighed.
"This is already the standard of a Sixth Level world."
Wan Liugui couldn't help but comment.
Sixth Level world.
In the starry sky beyond the Northern Sea Star, there circulated a classification of worlds.
This classification divided worlds into nine levels.
The highest level was the legendary Immortal Realm.
Beneath it were the Eighth Level worlds that possess a Gate of the Immortal Realm, the Seventh Level worlds capable of giving birth to Dao Lords, the Sixth Level worlds that could accommodate Refining Void, Hollow Void, and Shattered Void cultivation, as well as the Fifth Level world that the Cangwu Great World had previously belonged to.
As for Fourth Level worlds, they could at most sustain Golden Cores, while the energy level of Third Level worlds plummeted to Foundation Establishment, and Second Level worlds were only slightly stronger than the original Alkaid Realm. A First Level world would be a common world devoid of any cultivation heritage.
Although the jump from a Fifth Level world to a Sixth Level world appeared to be a mere single level upgrade, it was undeniably akin to a civilization leap from Stellar Level to Galaxy Level for the civilization of this world.
"All beings and powers of the Cangwu World will forever remember the contributions made by Sect Leader Alkaid."
Wan Liugui spoke solemnly.
The help from Alkaid could well be called a pioneer of civilization.
"There's no need for formalities; after all, I am also a member of the Cangwu Realm."
As Alkaid spoke, he added, "Choose one Hollow Void War Immortal to stay in Cangwu to oversee the situation of Cangwu, and besides, I have been away on this voyage for more than a year. Cangwu is ultimately too far from the Northern Sea, and without any means of message transmission, I am unable to know what might have transpired during my absence. To avoid any unforeseen mishaps, I plan to return to the Northern Sea Star first."
Upon saying this, he supplemented, "The Cangbei Warship will be left in the Cangwu Realm. Whenever you wish to leave, you can take the warship back. Having a Dao Artifact warship at your disposal, along with numerous Void nodes along the way, the journey back will be smooth, and it will only take a few months."
Li Hanqiu, Wan Liugui, and others clearly understood how busy Alkaid's current position was.
There were too many decisions he needed to make personally.
And moreover...
In the environs of the Southern Region, although no one had dared to make any rash moves during his year of absence, the difference between his presence or absence in the Southern Region was vast.
Therefore, naturally, they were not inclined to obstruct.
Li Hanqiu even stepped forward to say, "The matters here have also been mostly dealt with. Over the years, under the support of Xie Wu, the Nine Cauldrons Sect has developed quite well, not much inferior compared to when we left. As for half a year ago, powers like the Limitless Star Palace, Immortal Alliance, Myriad Beasts Sect, Heavenly Law Pavilion, Supreme Yin Sect, and Golden Temple, either have integrated into the Nine Cauldrons Sect or were led to the Northern Sea Star by Xie Wu. The accomplished unification of the Nine Cauldrons Sect has witnessed unprecedented prosperity. There's no need for us to supervise here, hence, I will accompany Sect Leader Alkaid..."
"There's no need,"
Alkaid waved his hand and said, "You should understand the situation in the Southern Region. It is not lacking a Hollow Void, and besides, as you said, the Nine Cauldrons Sect has just completed the unification of the Cangwu Great World. During this period, there will be countless big and small affairs to deal with. Hence, you all should stay a little longer in Cangwu. Wait till everything here is on the right path in a decade or so, then it won't be late to return to the Northern Sea Star."
"This..."
Li Hanqiu hesitated a bit.
However, after a moment, he finally said, "Let my master and Li Qingshan stay here then. There are also many matters that need to be dealt with in the Southern Capital of the Northern Sea Star, especially since the Southern Region is waging a war against the Yin Moon Sect. Though as a Hollow Void, I can't step onto the battlefield, I might still offer some strength."
Upon hearing this, Alkaid did not insist further, "Then make the arrangement as you see fit; we'll set off in three days."
Li Hanqiu nodded.
From Alkaid's yearlong stay in the Extraterritorial Starry Sky, it was evident that he did not harbor deep feelings for the Cangwu Realm.
However, that was understandable, considering his arrival in Cangwu Realm and his departure...
Time was too short.
So short that there could hardly be any emotional accumulation.
Moreover, all the people he was familiar with had relocated to Northern Sea Star with the original Nine Cauldrons Sect…
For Li Hanqiu, this journey to the Cangwu Great World indeed held no expectations.
"Then let's depart together in three days,"
Li Hanqiu responded, making a series of arrangements once more.
Alkaid...
Having completed the formation, he followed his own perception of the void when arranging the formation and landed in the Cangwu Realm and...
He went directly to the depths of the Cangwu Realm.
While setting up the Thick Earth Suppressing Void Formation, he faintly felt that the void node belonging to the Cangwu Great World shouldn't collapse like this.
The entire collapse of the void node...
Seemed to have some element of external interference, unlike a natural formation.
However, at that time, he was busy completing the formation and did not pay attention to it.
Now that he had three days of free time, he used Void Blink to go directly to the core of the Cangwu Great World.
The core of the Cangwu Great World, whether in pressure or temperature, was extremely astonishing.
However, to Alkaid now, the pressure and temperature of a supergiant stellar body were negligible, let alone a world like the Cangwu Great World, which was bred in a collapsing void node?
Before long, he had arrived at the depths of the world.
"A top-tier star core; such a core, if it could be taken away, I fear it could sell for tens of thousands of Pure Yang Great Pills,"
Alkaid sensed the energy that filled the space around him.
However...
After sensing for a moment, a hint of a different expression appeared on his face.
"It doesn't seem right."
This void node...
Seems to indeed be the result of natural collapse brought about by some changes in cosmic laws.
It's like a house on the edge of a cliff collapsing due to an earthquake, a natural phenomenon, not man-made.
"Unless, someone possesses the power of 'earthquake'."
Alkaid murmured to himself.
Certainly, it was the power to shake the rules of the universe.
Alkaid observed for a moment and suddenly activated the Limitless Sword.
The power of the Great Void Path projected through the Limitless Sword onto his body.
Instantly, the changes in the Great Void Path around him clearly presented themselves "before his eyes."
The Great Void Path itself had the capacity to carry all things in the world. By invoking the power of the Great Void Path to project onto himself and using the power of the Great Void Path to investigate his surroundings, he effectively turned the piece of void where the Cangwu Great World resided into a book that he could casually observe and freely flip through, with all its secrets nearly fully revealed before him.
And under this unique "view," the traces left by the collapse of the void node were gradually captured by Alkaid…
"No matter how you look at it, it's a kind of natural phenomenon that exists on the 'universe' level. It's just that... this natural phenomenon might not be the kind I understand," Alkaid said.
Whether it was the same as his speculation, he still had to go and verify it.
Three days passed quickly.
Apart from Li Hanqiu, Tang Fenghua, and a dozen other cultivators also planned to follow him back.
Alkaid did not say anything more.
The second Dao Artifact warship, which had been prepared for departure, started up and slowly ascended into the sky under the watchful eyes of Wan Liugui, Li Qingshan, and the others.
"We will not head towards the Northern Sea Star first."
In the control room, Alkaid spread out a star chart, quickly pinpointed several coordinates, "Let's go check these places first, traveling in order of distance."
"Yes."
Though Li Hanqiu did not understand the reason, he firmly executed Alkaid's orders.
The warship sailed.
In just four days, they smoothly reached the area Alkaid had indicated.
And here...
There existed a world similar to the Cangwu Great World.
The Heavenly River Great World.
However, this world was somewhat smaller than the Cangwu Great World, stretching only eight million miles across, and it seemed, perhaps due to good fortune, it had not suffered invasion by Demon Cultivators. The whole world was peaceful and calm.
"You all wait on the warship; I will go down and take a look," Alkaid said, and with a Void Blink, he appeared in this world.
His powerful Divine Sense quickly spread out, soon enveloping the entire world...
"The Ancient Cultivation system..." Alkaid thought, "There are three Divinity Transformation, several hundred Nascent Souls, and tens of thousands of Golden Cores..."
He did not disturb the three Divinity Transformation beings that ruled this world, and went directly to the deep part of this world's Star Core, searching for traces of this world just as he had searched for those of the Cangwu Realm.
Compared to the Cangwu Great World, traces of Void node collapse in the depths of this world were much harder to find. If it were not for Alkaid's conviction that "there must be something amiss here" to guide his search, it would have been impossible to find any useful information.
It took nearly half a month for Alkaid to find signs of the Void node's destruction.
But these signs...
They still pointed to a cosmic catastrophe.
After deliberating, Alkaid collected the data and left this world without alerting anyone.
Even the three Divinity Transformation Venerables of this world were unaware that a power capable of dominating a Galaxy Level had visited their world.
"Let's move to the next target," Alkaid instructed after returning to the warship.
Li Hanqiu continued to operate the warship.
This time, after six days of flight, they arrived at another region similar to the Cangwu Great World.
Li Hanqiu, looking at this scene, couldn't help but feel moved, "It turns out that there are so many worlds similar to our Cangwu Great World, only smaller in scale than the Cangwu Great World."
Alkaid did not respond and continued to explore this world for information.
Another half a month of exploration.
When he returned from this world, they immediately rushed to the fourth location.
Not just the fourth.
They proceeded to the fifth, sixth, eighth, tenth, fifteenth...
Initially, Alkaid seemed to be searching at random, but the more he searched, the more it seemed he discovered something.
In the end, he was delayed a full three years.
For three years, using the ability of the Void nodes and the Dao Artifact warship to traverse the Void, they crossed no less than tens of millions of light-years in distance.
This scene made Li Hanqiu, who piloted the warship, also become very serious.
After all, Alkaid had said that he would return to the Northern Sea Star as soon as possible, but he had been delayed for such a long time on the way, anyone would know he had discovered something.
And whatever it was that made Alkaid, a candidate for the Dao Lord ranking, take such serious precautions...

...
"Are we going to the twenty-fifth location?" Li Hanqiu asked Alkaid, who had just reappeared on the warship, immediately seeking instructions.
"No need," Alkaid replied, promptly opening the star chart.
Then...
He linked together the twenty-four locations he had visited over the past few years, and between the twenty-four nodes, he somehow ingeniously formed a line...
Alkaid extended this line following the pattern, a straight line becoming an arc, and eventually continued to expand, forming a circle.
A...
A circle of incomprehensible scale.
Seeing the scale represented by this circle, not to mention Li Hanqiu, of the Hollow Void level, even Alkaid who had made a name for himself on the Northern Sea Star was unmistakably overwhelmed.
"A billion light-years!?" Li Hanqiu glanced at the number marked on the star chart and couldn't help but ask, "What is this?"
Alkaid did not answer but paused for a long time, and then, extending his hand, he manipulated the star chart, turning the circle into a sphere!
Finally...
A super-gigantic sphere with a diameter of a billion light-years leaped into view.
Only then did Alkaid explain, "A cosmic catastrophe."
But following this, he shook his head, "Yet, a cosmic catastrophe alone cannot explain it... Compared to a catastrophe..."
He thought about each node's Void nodes collapsing in unison.
"I am more inclined to believe... the destruction of a civilization, or even... the release of energy from the fall of a great one."
