Chapter 3476: The Interstellar Hole of Reincarnation (2)
“From where I’m located right now, I probably need another three more days to reach the Reverent Observance Heaven.”
Jian Chen constantly flashed through outer space. With each flash, the surrounding stars would change. It seemed like he was teleporting.
He held an astrolabe. He had found it from the many Space Rings, and it clearly recorded the precise location of the thirty-three heavens of the Immortals’ World.
The Immortals’ World was even more spacious than the Saints’ World. After all, not only did the Saints’ World have the forty-nine great planes, but they also had the eighty-one great planets. They had over a hundred places where cultivators gathered, so it was obviously far denser than the Immortals’ World.
After all, the Immortals’ World only had thirty-three pieces of floating land.
As a result, only with the astrolabe could he guarantee that he would not become lost in outer space.
Along the way, Jian Chen saw several spaceships, as well as many herds of space beasts.
From this perspective, the Immortals’ World was not so different from the Saints’ World.
The teleportation formations that could directly take people across heavens were extremely expensive to use. Regular immortals could not afford it, so they would be forced to take spaceships if they wanted to venture to other heavens.
However, in the Immortals’ World, these spaceships were called immortal vessels.
The space of the Immortals’ World was also inhabited by all sorts of strange space beasts. Their existence was one of the most dangerous factors in outer space. They fed off immortals and would attack travelling immortals or immortal vessels in groups from time to time.
All the space beasts Jian Chen encountered along the way basically ended up in the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s mouth.
“Looks like you’re not far from Grand Prime now.”
“When I first obtained you, you were still just a seed. I didn’t expect you to surpass your master in just a few millennia. You’ve reached late Immortal Emperor even sooner than me. Maybe even Immortal Exalt as well.” Jian Chen was filled with emotions as he looked at the Immortal Devouring Orchid that coiled around his wrist like a bracelet.
Back then inside the Neptunean Divine Palace, he listened to the sword spirits and nurtured the Immortal Devouring Orchid. Even back then, the sword spirits had said that the Immortal Devouring Orchid would become his greatest source of assistance in the future.
In the end, what they said had come true so quickly.
The Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor Immortal Devouring Orchid had indeed become the great source of assistance to him now.
If it could take a step further and break through to Immortal Exalt, the assistance it could provide would be even greater.
“The resources to raise you into an Immortal Exalt are more than enough. After all, I accumulated quite a lot of them in the Saints’ World already. If these resources are all used up, then… perhaps you’ll be able to reach the Third Heavenly Layer of Immortal Exalt.” Jian Chen smiled gently. However, he was not certain about that. Once the Immortal Devouring Orchid broke through to Immortal Exalt, every subsequent breakthrough would require several times or several dozen times more resources.
In short, the higher the cultivation, the more difficult the breakthrough was.
For example, the Immortal Devouring Orchid seemed to have come to a stop right now. Its strength continued to grow at a stable rate as it continued to devour, but it grew much more slowly.
After teleporting again with the Laws of Space, Jian Chen’s eyes suddenly narrowed. He stared straight ahead.
A multicoloured swirl of energy appeared in the space there. The swirl floated in outer space, spitting out a resplendent and dazzling haze while giving off a tremendous and profound presence.
The swirl was not particularly wide, less than a hundred metres across. Many immortals were sitting around it. They either stared straight at the colourful swirl without blinking, or they shut their eyes and sensed it carefully as if they were comprehending something.
With a glance, Jian Chen discovered that there were actually more than a hundred thousand immortals gathered around the multicoloured swirl. Everyone remained silent, either comprehending quietly or cultivating.
What surprised Jian Chen the most was that he actually discovered three Immortal Emperors seated in the crowd. Even the Immortal Monarchs reached a hundred in number. The rest were immortals below Immortal Monarch.
“Master, this is the Hole of Reincarnation. The Hole of Reincarnation is the most mysterious as well as the most dangerous place in the Immortals’ World.” The sword spirits’ voice rang out in Jian Chen’s head. “The Hole of Reincarnation is the most ancient relic of the Immortals’ World. It already existed a very, very long time ago. It doesn’t belong to our aeon. There are no experts who can explain when it appeared in the Immortals’ World. Even the Grand Exalts born in past aeons could not explain where the Hole of Reincarnation came from, according to the information they left behind.”
“Then exactly what is the Hole of Reincarnation capable of? Don’t tell me it can assist people with comprehension?” Jian Chen asked curiously. He stared at the immortals seated near the Hole of Reincarnation and sank into his thoughts.
“The Hole of Reincarnation can’t help people with comprehension. As for its capabilities, it only exists in legends. According to the legends, anyone who enters the Hole of Reincarnation will change their fate. They will receive a fortuitous encounter and be completely reborn, able to become paramount sovereigns in the future.”
“We don’t know when this legend began. It already existed in the past aeons and was never lost after all these years. Even the five Grand Exalts of the Immortals’ World have a deep impression of the Hole of Reincarnation.”
“Change fate and become a paramount sovereign? Is the Hole of Reincarnation really that wondrous?” Jian Chen asked in surprise. He stared at the colourful hole in front of him curiously, clearly with some doubts.
“We don’t know whether it can actually change fate and produce paramount sovereigns. We only know that countless immortals have entered the Hole of Reincarnation during our era, but without any exceptions, no one emerged again.”
“As a matter of fact, the ancient records from past aeons have detailed that more than one Grand Exalt has entered the Hole of Reincarnation as well, but ever since they entered, they never appeared again either. They completely vanished from the Immortals’ World.”
“No one could explain what end the people who entered the Hole of Reincarnation faced. Were they sent into reincarnation like the legend? Or were they trapped in there? Or did they face death? In short, the Hole of Reincarnation is the greatest danger zone in the Immortals’ World, one that even Grand Exalts can’t emerge from once they enter.”
“Any creature or object in the world, no matter how powerful, will vanish from the Immortals’ World once they enter the Hole of Reincarnation, including even the god artifacts of Grand Exalts.”
When they mentioned the Hole of Reincarnation, Jian Chen could clearly hear the seriousness in the sword spirits’ voices.
Clearly, even they, two artifact spirits of sovereign god artifacts, feared and respected this place.
“Once you enter, it means you vanish from the Immortals’ World forever. Why does the Hole of Reincarnation sound like a black hole, devouring all creatures and god artifacts that enter it?” Jian Chen sighed in amazement. Even Grand Exalts could not emerge again. The Hole of Reincarnation immediately became extremely terrifying in his eyes.
“Master, you must remember to never enter the Hole of Reincarnation, as the old master once deduced that everyone who entered the Hole of Reincarnation should have been completely annihilated already,” Zi Ying and Qing Suo said sternly.
“Aren’t there any ways to check the situation inside?” Jian Chen asked.
“There is none. Nothing works. Even if you raise a clone or send a wisp of your soul inside, you’ll lose your connection with it once it enters the Hole of Reincarnation. Even Grand Exalts can’t understand its secrets.”
“On top of that, the Hole of Reincarnation is indestructible. Even someone as powerful as the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt was powerless over the Hole of Reincarnation because it can’t be destroyed at all,” said Qing Suo.
“It can’t be destroyed? Why does it seem a little similar to the Martial Soul Mountain? They’re both things that Grand Exalts can’t destroy,” Jian Chen crossed his arms and thought to himself.
According to his understanding, nothing in the world was truly indestructible. Whether it was major worlds or sovereign god artifacts, they could all be destroyed by great forces.
In the Saints’ World, the only thing he knew that was indestructible was the Martial Soul Mountain.
Now, there was one more, the Hole of Reincarnation from the Immortals’ World!
“But why are there so many immortals gathered here now? This is completely different from before. In the past, the area near the Hole of Reincarnation was always empty. Even if immortals stopped here, they would rarely exceed a hundred in number,” Qing Suo said curiously.
