Chapter 700 -361: Mountain River List Experts, Longwu Continent_2
Lu Yun nodded gravely, the shock in his eyes lingering for a long while.
At that moment, the spatial node became unbelievably bright, and soon it shot out a white beam of light that landed on the No. 3 five-color platform.
As the white light dissipated, all the people on the No. 3 five-color platform had vanished.
“Have they been transported to another Small World?” Lu Yun asked, perplexed.
“Not so fast, the one just now was a spatial node of the Lanhe Small World, it will take at least three or four hours before they arrive,” came the reply.
Right after, seven or eight teams were transported to other Small Worlds via the No. 3 five-color platform.
In the meantime, Lu Yun noticed that people had also ascended the No. 2 five-color platform.
However, the strength of every person who used the No. 2 Teleportation Platform was exceptionally formidable.
“The No. 2 five-color platform is a Teleportation Platform for Medium Worlds, but even with the foundation of our Green Flame Palace, we’ve only established nodes for five Medium Worlds,” someone explained.
Lu Yun’s gaze fell upon the No. 1 five-color platform and he asked, “Then what about the No. 1 five-color platform? Is it for teleporting to Big Worlds?”
“No, to go to other Big Worlds, one must ride a Void Warship, or traverse the Void.”
“Why is that?”
Lin Jingtian explained, “The cost is too high, even the top sacred places with the presence of a True God can’t afford it.”
Lu Yun nodded slightly, still feeling somewhat puzzled. For instance, what was the No. 1 five-color platform used for? Just how great was the cost of establishing spatial nodes in Big Worlds?
“It’s our turn now, let’s go.” The leading elite disciple called out to the disciples behind him, and then leaped onto the No. 3 five-color platform.
Following that, the others also displayed their techniques, soaring into the air one after another, flying towards the No. 3 five-color platform.
“Let’s go as well!” Lin Jingtian said to Lu Yun and Yuan Yao.
“Okay!”
The moment everyone got onto the No. 3 five-color platform, intricate lines suddenly appeared in the air above the great hall, forming a map of the Milky Way.
One of the lines connected several nodes, twinkling with an indescribable divine light. When it landed on the last spatial node, it abruptly came to a halt.
Then, from that spatial node, burst forth an exceptionally dazzling white beam of light that landed on the No. 3 five-color platform.
Lu Yun’s vision blurred momentarily, and then the environment around him completely disappeared.
It felt like only an instant had passed, and yet, as if thousands of years had gone by.
——
Longwu Continent, or rather, the Longwu Small World, was a relatively well-ordered Small World that could accommodate beings of the Unity Realm.
In the southeastern corner of the Longwu Continent lay the vast sea, within which there was a small island.
No matter how ferocious the waves, the island always stood firm.
Atop the highest mountain on the island, there lay an ancient and mysterious five-color platform.
In the legends of Longwu Continent, this was an Ascension Platform, where once one reached the Heavenly Human Realm, one could ascend to the Divine Realm.
“After half a year’s search, I’ve finally found Ascending Island!”
On the tumultuous ocean, a massive sea turtle protruded much of its body above the water, its back serving as a seat for a middle-aged man.
Seeing the island veiled in heavy mist and enshrouded in purple clouds in the distance, he stood up excitedly.
He had drifted on the vast East Sea for half a year, battling the giant beasts of the deep numerous times, finally finding the legendary Ascending Island.
“There’s an old saying, ‘better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix,’ but now, with the demonic disaster unfolding on Longwu Continent, there is no time to waste. I must leave this world; my centuries of accumulation cannot end up as fodder for demon beasts!”
He Lianpeng glanced back at the vast sea behind him, towards the distant shore. That was the Longwu Continent of his former days, where his sect and disciples were, along with his legends and deeds.
Leaving all that behind brought a bitter feeling to his heart, but when he thought of the increasingly severe horror of the demonic disaster, he steeled his resolve. With a fierce stamp on the turtle’s back, he flew towards the Ascending Island standing tall amidst the mighty ocean.
As he was about to reach Ascending Island, it felt as if he had hit a thin layer of water, but it barred him from entering, leaving He Lingpeng slightly stunned.
However, at his level of cultivation, he had experienced far too much to remain shocked for long. He quickly recovered.
Immediately after, his Third level Heavenly Human Realm energy burst forth violently, and he easily passed through the thin layer.
The moment he truly entered Ascending Island, He Lingpeng was utterly shocked.
Spiritual energy, incredibly rich spiritual energy.
The sect he belonged to was already one of the top sects on Longwu Continent, located on Cloud Peak, which was naturally rich with Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi.
But here, the spiritual energy was more than three times richer than that of Cloud Peak.
“Only a place with such copious Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi is fitting for the name Ascending Island.”
Upon entering Ascending Island, He Lingpeng felt as though he was completely enveloped by the extremely dense Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi.
He greedily absorbed the rich Qi, his expression one of intoxicating bliss and obsession.
He had a feeling that, with twenty or thirty years of cultivation here, he could break through to the Fourth level of the Heavenly Human Realm.
Within a hundred years, he was confident of advancing to the Fifth level of the Heavenly Human Realm.
And within three hundred years, he could succeed in reaching the Unity Realm, by which time he would be one of the strongest on Longwu Continent.
“However, even Ancestor Ming Yuan and the World Envoy are unable to resolve the demonic calamity. Even if I advance to the Unity Realm, I fear it won’t be of much use. Besides, it’s uncertain whether Longwu Continent will still exist after three hundred years.”
As he thought of the ever-intensifying demonic calamity, He Lingpeng dared not stay to cultivate on Ascending Island. He was anxious to ascend to the “Divine Realm.”
“No matter, Longwu Continent is after all my homeland. Once I reach the Divine Realm, I will see if I can find some strong beings to descend and save Longwu Continent.”
With that thought, he no longer cared about the intense Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi of this place and started to look for the location of the Ascension Platform.
Though Ascending Island was merely a small island standing in the vast sea, its size was considerable, spanning tens of thousands of miles. Strong arrays were in place here, and his consciousness was suppressed to the point of only being able to radiate to a range of several hundred yards.
He Lingpeng searched for half a month before finally locating the Ascension Platform.
It was an ancient five-colored platform adorned with mysterious prohibitions and runes. Just one glance made He Lingpeng’s head spin.
“As expected of the Ascension Platform to the ‘Divine Realm’, truly mysterious,” He Lingpeng consciously retracted his consciousness and dared not continue to probe.
Just as he was about to set foot on the Ascension Platform to go to the legendary ‘Divine Realm’, an unexpected change occurred.
The marks atop the quaint five-colored platform suddenly lit up, followed by beams of purple light that intertwined to form a mysterious pattern. A beam of white light burst forth, shooting straight into the sky.
A gigantic vortex appeared in the starry sky, from which brilliant starlight beamed. In the deep void, the starlight met with the white beam, and then they merged together.
At the same time, on a Sacred Mountain in Longwu Continent, a World Envoy stationed there seemed to sense something and turned his gaze toward the southeastern starry sky.
“Has someone found the Ascension Platform again?” muttered the old man.
“What a pity, I still have ninety-eight years left in my stationing duties and I absolutely cannot leave Longwu Continent.”
In his more than nine hundred years of stationing here, his cultivation level had remained at the Second level of the Unity Realm, with the Third level seemingly unreachable.
But not all was lost. After more than nine hundred years of refining, he had touched the threshold of the Third level of the Unity Realm.
Upon his return to the Green Flame Palace, there would be hope of advancing to the Third level of the Unity Realm.
“However, this realm is unexpectedly invaded by Outer Domain Demons, triggering a horrific demonic calamity. With my power and that of the natives of Longwu Continent alone, it is impossible to resolve…”
All of a sudden, the elder seemed to think of something. Ignoring his injuries, he abruptly stood up, his gaze trembling as he looked towards the endless southeastern starry sky: “Could it be… has the Sect’s powerful figures descended?”
“It must be, certainly, the Green Flame Palace must have noticed the invasion of the Outer Domain Demons into Longwu Continent and sent powerful figures to cleanse the demonic calamity!”
With this thought, he became excited. His powerful energy involuntarily released, causing the surrounding Heaven and Earth to stir.
“Are the World Envoy’s injuries this severe?”
