Chapter 554: Chapter 529 Coordinates Discovered
The location of the World of Ten Thousand Universes was not far from where Zhao Tianxia, Shen Shengming, and others had encircled Lu Lingxuan last time.
Hu Tu spread rumors, while Lu Yan and Lu Lingxuan were approaching the World of Ten Thousand Universes.
Standing in the air, they could see a dazzling light shining ahead, like a giant sun, far too bright and indistinct to see clearly.
The two could only slowly approach the orb of light, and as they got closer, they realized it was enormous. From within the orb, countless strands of light emanated, floating like ribbons, suspended in the air, moving with the wind.
Lu Yan and Lu Lingxuan could also feel a powerful force pressing down on them, as if they were each carrying a mountain, weighing billions of pounds.
They gradually found it more and more difficult to fly, and finally decided to land and run on the ground.
When they got close enough to the orb, Lu Yan used his Tao Soul Pupil and finally saw through to the true nature of the orb of light.
It was a piece of distorted space, constantly changing and twisting, like a mirror shattered into countless pieces.
Each piece of broken mirror represented a different world.
The fragments were densely packed, too numerous to count.
If one were to enter by mistake, they would lose direction and sink forever.
After observing for a while, the two retreated, moving far away from the World of Ten Thousand Universes, and began to look for a hidden place to set up coordinates.
After searching for nearly half an hour, they eventually decided to set the coordinates underground.
Lu Yan made a move, activating the Earth Rules, causing the ground to move. They silently descended into the ground, leaving no trace behind on the surface.
Before long, they carved out a cave a kilometer deep underground.
"Let’s start."
The two exchanged looks, and Lu Yan, with a wave of his hand, brought out the Tianji Guide.
The Tianji Guide radiated light and was thrust into the ground.
Lu Yan squeezed out a drop of blood and let it fall on the Tianji Guide. Suddenly, a mystical connection was established between Lu Yan and the Tianji Guide; he could clearly feel a thread linking them.
This thread was intangible and imperceptible, seemingly nothing, yet it most certainly existed, profound and elusive.
"It’s done."
A smile appeared on Lu Yan’s face.
He had relied on this thread to enter the world of heavens, and as long as this thread connected him with the Tianji Guide, he would not lose direction and could return along this thread.
"Lingxuan, I leave it to you."
Lu Yan said.
"Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, the Tianji Guide will not be destroyed."
Lu Lingxuan nodded and sat down beside the Tianji Guide.
Lu Yan clasped his fist, activated the Earth Rules, and his body silently merged into the soil.
A moment later, Lu Yan returned to the surface and ran towards the World of Ten Thousand Universes.
The thread could extend infinitely as Lu Yan moved forward.
Soon, he arrived at the spot he and Lu Lingxuan had previously observed. He didn’t stop and continued to run at great strides.
Although it didn’t look very far from afar, the distance was actually quite significant. Lu Yan ran for over an hour before he approached the twisted space.
As he came into contact with the twisted space, a powerful suction erupted, pulling Lu Yan into a separate space.
The world flipped upside down, and the next moment, Lu Yan found himself on a fiery red land.
Looking around, the ground was scorched red, as was the sky. Fire raged everywhere, above and below.
In the void, the Fire Rules whirled around like hurricanes, intensely concentrated.
This was a world of fire.
Created by extremely rich fire laws and rules, it was a small world unto itself.
Lu Yan sensed for a moment, and the thread from the Tianji Guide was still there; it hadn’t been severed by his entry into another world.
Reassured, Lu Yan spread his Spiritual Sense far and wide, searching for traces of Shen Yinuo and Mr. World.
"Hmm?"
There was a flash in Lu Yan’s eyes.
Then he soared into the sky and quickly crossed thousands of miles, appearing above a sea of lava.
He had not found Shen Yinuo and Mr. World; instead, he spotted a daomark growing right on top of the lava.
Although it was just an ordinary daomark, its value was quite significant, enough to refine a batch of Tao Elixirs.
With a wave of his hand, Lu Yan collected the daomark and continued his search.
However, he made no further discoveries.
The small world was not very vast, only a few million miles across, and Lu Yan had soon searched most of it. On the northern side of this world, there was a spatial crack connected to other worlds.
Lu Yan, protected by Pure Light, charged into the spatial crack and, in the next moment, arrived in another world.
A world completely made of water.
In the World of Ten Thousand Universes, countless small worlds were connected, and at the points where they connected, weak spatial cracks allowed free passage.
Lu Yan continued his search in this Water World, but unfortunately, he still found nothing.
Afterward, there was a Metal World, an Earth World...
Then another Fire World, similar to the first one he encountered, just varied in size.
In this way, Lu Yan explored thirty worlds in a row and found no trace of Shen Yinuo and Mr. World.
And it seemed his luck had run out; since finding a daomark in the first world, he had not found a second one.
Indeed, the World of Ten Thousand Universes was not filled with opportunities everywhere; otherwise, Lou Lingxue wouldn’t have sold the Tianji Guide and come in to seek treasures herself.
When Lu Yan entered the thirty-first world, he noticed a change; this world was no longer ruled by a single set of laws, but was a Thunder Fire World formed by both fire and thunder laws.
Lu Yan carefully observed the Thunder Fire Rules of this world and gained not an insignificant harvest, gaining a deeper comprehension of the Thunder Fire Rules and becoming more adept at wielding them together.
Even the move ’Heavenly Punishment Blade’s Desolation’ had slightly increased in power.
After passing through this world, Lu Yan entered another world evolved from the laws and rules of wind and fire.
Thus, Lu Yan continuously traversed through various worlds.
These worlds were primitive and ancient but unformed and incomplete, overly simplistic, devoid of any life, with even plants being a rare sight.
Lu Yan would stay in some worlds briefly, contemplating the rules and regulations within.
...
Outside the World of Ten Thousand Universes.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh...
Dozens of figures emerged from the void.
It was precisely Zhao Tianxia, Shen Shengming, and Lou Lingxue leading the people from the three major powers.
"We are now on the outskirts of the World of Ten Thousand Universes. This area is the most suitable for Lu Yan and Lu Lingxuan to set up coordinates. Miss Lou, please trouble yourself to locate the position of the Tianji Guide," said Zhao Tianxia.
Lou Lingxue nodded and said, "Leave it to me."
She took out a jade plate, carved with dragons and phoenixes, and inscribed with profound patterns.
Lou Lingxue manipulated hand seals, and the jade plate glowed, floating in midair. Then, a beam of light shot out, flying into the distance.
"Found it, let’s go."
Loud Lingxue took the lead, flying forward.
Zhao Tianxia and Shen Shengming, among others, followed.
Before long, they stopped above a range of hills.
Zhao Tianxia and others were initially puzzled, but when they saw Lou Lingxue looking down at the ground, they suddenly realized.
"They’ve set the coordinates deep underground to hide their tracks, a clever ploy indeed. Unfortunately, it’s all in vain in the end," Zhao Tianxia sneered.
"Those proficient in Earth Rules, come forward and lead the way," instructed Shen Shengming.
Zhao Tianxia and Lou Lingxue also issued such commands.
Immediately, seven individuals from the Three Emperors Alliance, Divine Clan, and Heavenly Machine Gate stepped forward.
These seven people, cultivated exclusively in Earth Rules.
The seven formed a circle, invoked the Earth Rules, and pressed their hands against the ground.
Boom boom boom!
The ground suddenly surged like flowing water.
"Rise," shouted the seven experts in unison.
Even the least powerful among these seven was at the Immortal Eighth Layer, with five of them at the Immortal Ninth Layer.
Working together, moving mountains and seas was a trivial matter for them.
They lifted their palms simultaneously, and a massive stone pillar was uprooted from the ground, soaring into the sky.
A kilometer underground, Lu Lingxuan, who had been sitting cross-legged, suddenly changed her expression. She looked up and saw the rocks above wriggling and moving upward.
"We’ve been discovered, but who is it?"
Lu Lingxuan’s expression turned ugly.
They had chosen this location, one which even Hu Tu didn’t know. Only she and Lu Yan were privy to it, so who could have discovered it so quickly?
Lu Lingxuan expanded her domain, protecting the Tianji Guide within it, and kept her eyes on the space above.
The rocks above moved very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they flew to the high sky.
"Lu Lingxuan, so it was you who stayed here. It seems that Lu Yan is the one who entered the World of Ten Thousand Universes," came a stern voice from above. A figure dove down, a punch heavy as a mountain, hurtled towards Lu Lingxuan like a huge meteorite.
"Zhao Tianxia..." Lu Lingxuan’s eyes turned icy as her heart sank.
In addition to Zhao Tianxia, she noticed Shen Shengming and Lou Lingxue.
She finally understood why Zhao Tianxia and the others had found this place so quickly.
It was because of Lou Lingxue.
The Tianji Guide was purchased from Lou Lingxue, so it was not surprising that she could find it.
She just hadn’t expected Lou Lingxue to be so despicable. She had just sold the Tianji Guide to them for a high price, and immediately afterward, she betrayed them, leading Zhao Tianxia and others to its location.
"Infinite Dragon Spear."
Lu Lingxuan thrust with her spear, a dragon followed the spear; its roar shook the heavens as it collided with Zhao Tianxia’s punching force.
Boom!
The terrifying force erupted deep underground, the destructive power causing a massive explosion, shattering countless rocks.
If one were to look down from high above, they would see the ground suddenly bulge upwards and then burst open, scattering rocks in all directions, creating a crater several hundred miles in diameter and a kilometer deep on the surface of the earth.
Lu Lingxuan used her domain to protect herself, pushing the countless shattered rocks to the outside.
"By destroying the Tianji Guide, Lu Yan will be forever lost in the World of Ten Thousand Universes," said Lou Lingxue as she appeared beside Lu Lingxuan, her voice cold.
"Lou Lingxue, you truly are despicable and shameless, utterly devoid of integrity," Lu Lingxuan glared at Lou Lingxue with eyes full of contempt and disdain.
"I’ve heard that your Dragon Alliance not only comes from the boundless starry sky but also from the land of exile in the Chaos Void," said Lou Lingxue.
"Those banished to the Chaos Void are criminals, despicable and shameless people. You are the descendants of those criminals. Why should one maintain integrity when dealing with you?" Lou Lingxue scoffed.
