When Yun Lintian stepped into the barrier, he was immediately greeted by intense divine energy mixed with abundant profound energy. If he didn't know before, he would have thought that he had accidentally entered the Land of Beyond Heaven.
It was no wonder these old monsters could reach such a height by staying here and didn't intend to leave.
In the distance, Yun Lintian saw a huge black spatial rift that was blocked by a thick and powerful barrier. Even so, it didn't prevent the divine energy and a current of a spatial element from flowing out.
Unlike the sea on the outside, the space here was no different from the land above. It had vegetation, mountains, and rivers, which surprised Yun Lintian.
Several simple huts and gardens could be seen everywhere, as well as many other people.
With a glance, Yun Lintian could roughly count as thirty-five people. Each of them had a similar strength from the third to the fifth level of the Divine Foundation Realm.
At this moment, Pang Wangwu walked toward an old man who looked like an old farmer in the distance and said. "Big Brother Qin, this little brother wants to check the world's core out, and he will leave."
The old man, Qin Yuanzhang, stopped watering the crops before him and turned to look at Yun Lintian. His eyes were cloudy, but Yun Lintian felt as though he was being stared at by an apex predator.
"This old man is not bad. He has already formed a Divine Sense." Hongyue's voice resounded.
"Divine Sense?" Yun Lintian was slightly puzzled.
"You can understand as the next level of the Spiritual Sense. Not only could it spread out several times, but it could also be used to attack people directly." Hongyue explained. "However, this old man hasn't reached that level yet. He cannot manifest his attack into his Divine Sense."
"Even so, it's already impressive for someone who stays in this lower world."
Yun Lintian nodded inwardly and cupped his fists. "Greetings, Senior. My name is Yun Lintian. I am here to look at the world's core."
Qin Yuanzhang didn't say anything. He continued to look at Yun Lintian calmly.
On the side, Pang Wangwu said. "His strength can be compared to ours. The earlier attack came from him."
At thi smoment, Qin Yuanzhang said. "Are you Yun Wushuang's descendant?"
As his words came out, the faces of everyone in the scene changed slightly, and they carefully looked at Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian shook his head. "I'm not her descendant, but I am indeed coming from the Misty Cloud Sect that everyone knows as the Misty Cloud Palace in the past."
"I see." Qin Yuanzhang said. "What is your intention of seeing the world's core?"
Yun Lintian didn't hide anything. "I am determined to destroy the spatial tunnel and let the world exist as it should be."
When Yun Lintian spoke this, he could feel several auras lock onto him. Obviously, they didn't agree with his idea.
However, Yun Lintian didn't care about it. Even if these people decided to attack him, he had a way to escape. And he believed that these people who feared death would never risk their lives after knowing his strength.
Qin Yuanzhang took a deep look at Yun Lintian and said. "Follow me."
"Big Brother Qin…" The people behind Qin Yuanzhang wanted to say something, but they were interrupted by him.
"You should go back first. I know what I am doing." Qin Yuanzhang said, and everyone reluctantly moved away, allowing Yun Lintian to walk past them.
Qin Yuanzhang and Yun Lintian walked along the mountain and river toward the deeper part of this place.
Along the way, Yun Lintian could see a lot of rare magical plants and materials here. If they were taken to the outside world, they could be exchanged for a massive amount of wealth that could easily rival any nine-palace treasury.
"All of them are cowards, and their paths ahead won't be that far." While walking, Qin Yuanzhang suddenly said.
Yun Lintian looked at the old man's back and said. "Aren't you the same, Senior?"
Qin Yuanzhang didn't stop walking as he replied calmly. "Indeed. I am no different from them."
Yun Lintian frowned slightly at the old man's answer, but he didn't say anything.
"Is it possible to destroy the spatial tunnel permanently?" Qin Yuanzhang suddenly asked.
Before Yun Lintian could reply, he said further. "If there's a way, I hope that you can tell me."
"Why? Aren't you planning to exchange the world's core for a foothold in the Divine Realm?" Yun Lintian asked in doubt.
"That was before." Qin Yuanzhang responded. "Time changed my mind… I have been thinking a lot during these thousands of years."
He looked at the lush mountain ahead and continued. "Originally, a practitioner is supposed to defy heaven and change fate with their own hands. Unfortunately, we have forgotten about it as time passed by."
"It could be said the stronger we became, the more afraid of death we were. We didn't want to lose our lives by risking it. However, we have completely overlooked the fact that we have also taken risks by choosing this choice… And the risk might be even higher compared to the normal ascension."
He let out a sigh and said further. "Compared to the others, I am luckier. I have grown up in a happy and warm family without facing many hardships. Although my journey in the profound path was full of blood and bones, I didn't really face difficult trouble that could threaten my life."
"Perhaps it's because I know when to avoid it too, I guess?"
Yun Lintian interrupted. "So you realize it now?"
"Yes." Qin Yuanzhang said and halted his step. "I want to save this world."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the scenery in front of them abruptly changed.
In the far distance ahead, a massive azure-colored ball of light could be seen behind a golden barrier, emitting a gentle and calm aura that soothed Yun Lintian's mood.
Qin Yuanzhang turned around and said. "The words saving the world might be too big for someone like me, but that's my current intention."
Yun Lintian retracted his gaze from the azure orb and looked at Qin Yuanzhang deeply…
