"It's hard to believe that you suddenly want to abandon the chance of ascending." Yun Lintian said calmly.
Qin Yuanzhang didn't say anything about this further. He turned to look at the azure orb and said. "As you can see, this is the world's core. The barrier here has the ability to regenerate itself, and it's impossible to break it with our strength."
Yun Lintian ignored him and walked toward the golden barrier while asking in his mind. "Hongyue?"
"It's really true… It does possess a power of time…" Hongyue said in a low voice as if she was talking to herself. "I see now…"
"What do you mean?" Yun Lintian asked.
"No matter what, you have to protect this world. It will play a great role in the future." Hongyue said in a rare serious tone.
"Why?" Yun Lintian frowned deeply.
"I cannot tell you this. At least, you have to wait until you reach the Divine Emperor Realm… This is involved in the greatest secret of the Divine Realm." Hongyue explained vaguely. "Even Yun Xia will die in no time once she knows about it."
Yun Lintian was stunned upon hearing this. He took a deep breath and asked. "Then what does it has something to do with the cycles of the past incident?"
"This is just my guess. It's not necessarily true. You just listen and keep it in your heart." Hongyue replied. "If I'm not mistaken, the two spatial tunnels are purposely created to train people in this world."
"Train people?" Yun Lintian was puzzled.
"Do you know why people in the lower realm are considered a maggot by those natives of the Divine Realm?" Hongyue asked.
"Maybe because of a birth origin? Like how some people in the city look down on rural people." Yun Lintian replied.
"That's a part of it, but not entirely," Hongyue explained. "Mainly, it's because the environment in the lower realm is a whole different thing compared to the Divine Realm."
"I'm not talking about the abundance of profound energy but the difficulty level of people's growth."
"The difficulty level?" Yun Lintian's brows knitted together.
She paused briefly and said further. "You have read a lot of novels before, and you should understand that compared to an extremely dangerous environment, this Azure World can simply be considered a peaceful world."
"Think about it. Without the Poison Valley, who is left to be your enemy?" Hongyue asked. "The nine palaces, right? Do you think they will care about you if you are very low profile?"
Yun Lintian gradually understood what Hongyue tried to convey. He recalled his journey from the beginning to the present and found that he was mostly pushed to the front by the Poison Valley.
Without them, he might be able to stay low-key and silently raise his strength without the nine palaces noticing him. And when he reached the current level, none of them could become his opponent, which could also mean he would have almost zero trouble in his path.
"You're saying that whoever created the spatial tunnels purposely let the invaders come here in order to create a competitive and dangerous environment for people in this world?" Yun Lintian asked.
"That is my guess. Besides this, I cannot think of anything." Hongyue responded. "Obviously, these spatial tunnels are connecting to the world's core, making them open every four thousand years."
"Furthermore, these spatial tunnels cannot be suppressed by Qingxuan's Dragon Sealing Formation… The creator of these spatial tunnels… I cannot think of anyone besides the Beyond Heaven King himself."
She took a deep breath and said. "When you think about it, it makes sense. Otherwise, why would he choose to leave his legacy in this world?"
Unlike Yun Lintian, who knew nothing about the Divine Realm, Hongyue could guess a lot of things about the Beyond Heaven King's intentions.
Unfortunately, she could not say it right now. Otherwise, Yun Lintian would die instantly, and the Beyond Heaven King's master plan would crumble in her hands.
In fact, Hongyue's existence should be outside of the Beyond Heaven King's calculation. After all, she was supposed to die along with the Frozen Moon Mythical Realm.
Yun Lintian wouldn't have her accompanied, and he would be clueless regarding everything about the Divine Realm and the enemy of the Beyond Heaven King. His journey would be more difficult and slower, but he would be safer.
Yun Lintian digested the information for a while and raised his head to look at the bright azure-colored orb that slowly rotated clockwise. Standing here, he didn't feel anything much except for the gentle aura and the abundant energy.
Buzz—
All of a sudden, the world's core shook slightly as if it was responding to Yun Lintian's gaze. At the same time, the golden barrier in front of Yun Lintian abruptly extended out and pulled him inside.
Everything happened in a split second that Yun Lintian and Qin Yuanzhang had no way to react.
When Qin Yuanzhang moved, he already saw Yun Lintian float inside the barrier. This scene left him dumbfounded in place.
In the past, many powerhouses tried to go inside, but none of them could withstand a second before evaporating from the world.
However, Yun Lintian was actually fine…
"This…" Qin Yuanzhang didn't know what to say at the moment as he stared at Yun Lintian blankly.
Meanwhile, Yun Lintian recovered from the shock and looked at the world's core in confusion.
"What's going on, Hongyue?" He asked, as she was the only one he could rely on when it came to this.
"How would I know?" Hongyue rolled her eyes. "The fact that you're totally fine here proves that the world's core has something to do with you."
Before Yun Lintian could say anything, he suddenly heard a female voice that seemed to directly echo in his mind. "I have been watching you all these years. You've finally grown up to this height."
The voice was extremely pleasant to hear. It was gentle, like a spring breeze, making Yun Lintian's tensed body relax instantly.
"You are…?" Yun Lintian said in confusion.
"I am a spirit of the world's core. I have no name." The voice resounded.
"What's going on?" Hongyue asked as she heard Yun Lintian talk to someone. She didn't hear anything.
"It's the spirit of the world's core. She talks to me." Yun Lintian explained briefly.
"What?" Hongyue was momentarily stunned upon hearing this.
