Poison God's Heritage-Chapter 582 Arrival

"Nothing so far?" the whitest sun asked his friend.

"Nothing… and it's been more than enough time for anyone to have crossed…" the Lord of Lords replied with worry in his eyes.

The Whitest Sun sighed and said, "I'll go and check myself," he said.

"You believe I'd have missed something?" said the Lord of Lords.

"Not to lower your perceptive ability, but I have a slightly better understanding of the law of space. I have a feeling that the tunnel didn't work as intended."

"Then what do you suppose we do with these people then?" asked the Lord of Lords.

The Whitest Sun looked down. On the exit of the tunnel was a massive white square platform where hundreds of cultivators arrived.

***

The people from the Vast Expanse all looked confused as they saw the world they were in now.

It didn't have anything to compare with their former world.

Mountains flew high up in the skies, and cities were built around them.

The clouds in the sky were thick and thin, high and low creating a divine canvas that looked like nothing they'd seen before.

Flood dragons flew around and so did Suzaku birds and some tamed Rocs.

The newly arrived cultivators were shocked not because of just that but the density of the Qi in the world. There was so much of it they felt suffocated and some were outright about to burst.

Around the cultivators were several hundred other men. These people were separated into eight portions. Each portion was fronted by one man holding a massive banner.

Each banner had the symbol of a sun on it, and each sun belonged to one of the Eight Suns ruling over the Beyond.

The people of the Beyond 'welcomed' the people of the vast expanse. However, the welcome wasn't what the cultivators of the Vast Expanse expected.

"What do you mean brand me?! I won't be a slave to anyone!" one of the newly arrived cultivators said.

"Foolish ones, this brand will protect you and give you allegiance to one of the eight Suns. You must choose, or else you're to be hunted. This is the law of the beyond. Choose, or die," said one of the people of the Beyond who seemed to be leading a banner of a hundred men.

The cultivators were worried, they realized that in terms of power, they had absolutely no chance to ever escape this encirclement. They realized that the people here, some of them were actually even mightier than the two stone puppets that were guarding the door of the Vast Expanse.

And those people were nothing but guards around the banner holders.

In terms of power and ability, the people of the vast expanse, even with their Emperor cultivation level seemed nothing more than a toddler in front of a full-grown man.

They had no chance to escape or run away and had to adhere to the laws and rules.

"How will we ever choose?" spoke one of the men. It was Zhang Tian.

"Pick a banner to be under, and you shall receive their brand. That is the law," spoke a man who was holding a banner that had a Red Sun.

Zhang Tian took a look at the banner and felt his heart plummet.

There was so much power from that symbol, so much might come out of it, it would make a man's hair turn white.

"Slaughter…" Zhang Tian said.

"Oh, you seem to have the ability to see through the banner's guise. Good, join us!" the man with the Red Sun banner spoke.

"I follow the Dao of Knowledge, I can't see myself following your banner Zhang Tian said with words struggling to come out of his mouth from under the banner's pressure."

Suddenly a man appeared in front of Zhang Tian, he was wearing full white and had a beard that reached his knees, his eyes held the glow of a starry night sky as he looked up and down at Zhang Tian.

The moment the man arrived one of the banner holders immediately knelt down, and soon everyone behind them followed suit kneeling on the ground.

The old man raised a hand to stop them from speaking or announcing him. But from the reaction of the other banner holders, the terror in their eyes none dared utter a word and they all took a few steps back.

The old man grinned and approached Zhang Tian, he looked him up and down and said, "You're Shen Bao's sworn brother." The man said right into Zhang Tian's mind, there didn't even seem to be a ripple of Qi moving when he spoke those words.

"Who are you?" Zhang Tian asked, quite surprised that someone from the Beyond knew Shen Bao.

As for the people around Zhang Tian and the cultivator from the vast expanse their eyes widened as they didn't understand how can some foolish barbarian even speak such direct words to someone as great as the person in front of Zhang Tian.

"Let's say I'm someone who knows your Junior brother," he said

"Then do you know where he is? We were separated as we were journeying through the tunnel, and we can't find him here," said Zhang Tian.

"I have no knowledge of his whereabouts, we actually came here to find out if you guys know…" "We?" muttered Zhang Tian.

"Oh, yes, behind you," said the old man as he nodded up for Zhang Tian to turn and look.

Zhang Tian turned and saw another old man in front of his other companion. Not only him even the rest of the banner holders noticed him and took further steps back. All but another group all knelt down leaving only the banner flying high.

Dao Shen was not able to move a muscle when the old man was staring at him, it felt as if the old man was peering into his soul.

"Good Seed," the second old man said.

"You found someone you like?" asked the first old man.

"Yes, He has good talent and a stable foundation, pretty impressive for someone from the Vast Expanse. I'll take this one," the old man said.

"Good, then I'm taking this one," the first old man said as he pointed at Zhang Tian.

No one from the banner holders dared speak a word as these two men picked and chose.

And this caused Zhang Tian to further increase his impression of the two people here.

Their cultivation was absurdly steep enough that these two people gave off the feeling of mortals instead of cultivators. They seemed to not even be part of this world even though he could see them with his own eyes.

Zhang Tian instantly sent a divine sense message to Dao Shen. "No matter what, don't anger these two people, their relationship seems friendly, so even if we're taken and separated we can meet again. I have a feeling that they're highly ranked within whatever clan or sect they come from. Just keep a low profile for now…"

"I know, there is no need to tell me that, for now, let's follow what they're saying…" Dao Shen said.

"Oh, we're not part of any sect," spoke the first old man.

This gave Zhang Tian a shock.

How was he able to intercept his divine sense message?

"When you grow old you'll be able to understand the reverberation of Qi and translate something as simple as a divine sense, it sounded awfully loud in my ears, as I said I'm not part of any sect, I'm that thing fluttering in the wind," the man with the starry night sky eyes spoke.

Zhang Tian followed the pointing finger and noticed it was pointing at the kneeling people holding a banner with a bright White Sun on it.

Zhang Tian then looked at the other man and moved his head. There was another Banner.

This banner had a Crowned Sun in the middle of it.

"I suppose that no one here has any objection to us taking these two?" the owner of the White Sun banner muttered.

None spoke in disagreement, nor would they have dared.

"Good, you two follow the banner holders, Lord of Lords, we should move out."

"Lead the Way Wisest Sun, I'll follow after."

The two of them left the area and went into the tunnel this time together hopefully they'll be able to locate Shen Bao.
