Chapter 357: Arrival!

“But before that, let’s take a look first.”
Su Qin carefully scanned through the Void Passage with the [Eyes of Vitality] and the [Celestial Eyes], looking at what laid at the end of the passage.
Previously, when Su Qin observed the Nine Swords Realm, the Void Passage had not yet formed. Hence, he was only able to obtain some rough information about the Nine Swords Realm, which was that it had been left by the Supreme Powerhouse Jiu Li. As for the specific details, it was not clear.
But it was different now.
Now that the Void Passage had completely stabilized, Su Qin could obtain more information with his scan.
[Hum~]
Su Qin saw a world exuding green light emerging. At the same time, all kinds of Qi were flowing out.
“Hmmm?”
“There are creatures in the Nine Swords Realm?”
Su Qin’s heart was moved. The Qi he observed was obviously emitted by living beings, that was to say, they existed in the Nine Swords Realm.
Not only that, Su Qin also found that their strength was not weak. The strongest had already reached the Peak of the Return To Origin Phase.
“Interesting.”
A smile appeared on Su Qin’s face.
If there was a Divine Ruin Phase being in the Nine Swords Realm, Su Qin might reconsider entering, but Return To Origin Phase? Even one at the peak couldn’t match Su Qin.
Finally, Su Qin confirmed the approximate level of the Nine Swords Realms, before he summoned the War God Temple.
A majestic and vast palace then appeared in front of Su Qin. With the fluctuation of the palace’s aura, even the void began to freeze.
There were only two ways to pass through the Void Passage. One was to become a Supreme Powerhouse or rely on treasures containing the Power of Space to resist the space debris.
After all, even the direct descendants of Supreme Powerhouses couldn’t pass through the Void Passage by their own power.
Below the Broken Void Realm, the Power of Space was unsolvable, this was the iron law.
Of course, other creatures couldn’t break this iron law. But Su Qin had dozens of ways to pass through the Void Passage, despite being below the Broken Void Realm…
For example, he could Cultivate the [Burning Sun Divine Art] to the appropriate level and transform into a Three-legged Golden Crow.
In addition, if Su Qin Cultivated the War God Domain to the extreme and condensed a world, that was another way of passing through the Void Passage. Or Su Qin could reversely seal himself using the [Buddha’s Palm] second form, Pure Land in One’s Palm, then use the power of the seal to pass through the Void Passage and so on.
Currently, what Su Qin chose was the simplest one, taking the War God Domain directly through the Void Passage.
The War God Temple was a super-large spatial artifact and had a higher value than the treasure of Supreme Powerhouses. Taking it through the Void Passage could even be considered humiliating.
Su Qin entered the War God Temple, then the entirety of the temple turned into a stream of light and rushed into the Void Passage.
“Is this the void?”
“The space outside the Human World?”
Su Qin stood in the War God Temple, as scenes flashed in front of him.
It was a vast space. Even the magnificent War God Temple was like an invisible speck of dust amidst it. In the very distant place, there were faint light spots. But apart from these, there was nothing else in here.
“It’s no wonder that a small number of Supreme Powerhouses did not choose to leave the Human World and go to the void. It turns out that the void looks like this.” Su Qin was slightly shocked.
Despite being in the War God Temple and separated from the void, Su Qin could still feel the endless loneliness and coldness. Although Supreme Powerhouses could survive in the void, compared to the Human World, the void was not even a desert.
Living in this environment for hundreds of thousands of years could even make Supreme Powerhouses go crazy.
“However, according to the records, the distance in the void is not the same as in reality. If Supreme Powerhouses want to go to a place, they only need to break the space, enter the void, and then take a few steps in the direction they are heading. By the time they return to reality again, they would have already crossed tens to hundreds of thousands of miles.”
Su Qin thought to himself.
In the void, there was no distinction between up and down, left or right. The span of distance was also very different from the Human World.
“However, the goal of my trip is not the depths of the void, but there.” Su Qin turned his eyes and looked towards the direction connected by the Void Passage.
There, Su Qin saw a faint cyan light spot that was flickering slowly.
It was the Nine Swords Realm.
“Accelerate.”
Su Qin immediately controlled the War God Temple, heading towards the Nine Swords Realm.
…
In the meantime, in the Nine Swords Realm.
Three streaks of lights, one in front and two behind, flashed across the sky. The one in front seemed to be escaping, while the two in the back were chasing after it.
“Why?!”
The fleeing light realized that it could not escape and stopped, as it faced the two chasing lights.
“Your Nine Swords Holy Land has intercepted the world’s Qi for 50,000 years. You are already invincible in the world, so why don’t you give us Rogue Cultivators a way to survive?”
After this pause, a very tattered old man appeared.
The Nine Swords Realm was created by the Supreme Powerhouse Jiu Li.
50,000 years ago, Supreme Powerhouse Jiu Li opened up the Nine Swords Realm. He did not leave immediately and stayed here in seclusion for hundreds of years.
During that time, Supreme Powerhouse Jiu Li felt the loneliness of the world, so he used his power to migrate some of the living beings in the Human World to the Nine Swords Realm.
After he left, some of the people used the incomplete techniques handed down by the Nine Swords Realm to forcibly occupy Jiu Li’s seclusion area, mastered the backhand he left, known as the Nine Swords Holy Land and overlooked the entire Nine Swords Realm.
However, the Nine Swords Holy Land wasn’t the only ones occupying this world.
Outside the Holy Land, there were still Rogue Cultivators.
These Rogue Cultivators were either unwilling to join the Holy Land, or failed to meet the conditions for joining, and could only survive independent of the Holy Land.
As a result, the disciples of the Nine Swords Holy Land did not regard the Rogue Cultivators as Human Beings at all.
With the crushing power of the Nine Swords Holy Land, the Rogue Cultivators did not have any chance of resistance.
“Chun Yangzi.”
The two pursuing lights also stopped, both looking at the tattered old man indifferently: “Hand over the elixir, become a slave of the Holy Land for 200 years, and I’ll let you live.”
It seemed that for these two Nine Swords Holy Land disciples, allowing Chun Yangzi to become a slave was a great gift from Heaven.
“Hand over the elixir?”
“200 years as a slave?”
Chun Yangzi was stunned for a moment, before bursting into a wild laughter: “You are forcing this old man to his death!!!”
“I discovered the elixir first. It has nothing to do with your Nine Swords Holy Land. The treasures of Heaven and Earth are for the virtuous, why is the Nine Swords Holy Land asking to hand it over?”
The elixir was discovered by Chun Yangzi 80 years ago.
At that time, the elixir had not yet matured. He had to wait for 80 years to pass in order to obtain it.
But just when Chun Yangzi was full of joy, the news about the elixir somehow got leaked and two disciples of the Nine Swords Holy Land happened to pass by.
Obviously, the two Holy Land disciples asked Chun Yangzi to hand over the elixir.
Of course, Chun Yangzi didn’t want to do so.
He spent 80 years waiting and had very little lifespan left. He was waiting for this elixir to fully mature, so he would be able to get a breakthrough and prolong his life. How could he hand over the elixir?
It didn’t matter even if the other party was a high-ranking Holy Land disciple.
“Treasures of the Heavens and Earth are for the virtuous?”
When the two disciples of the Nine Swords Holy Realm heard these words, sarcastic smiles painted their faces: “Chun Yangzi, did your master not tell you that in this world, the Nine Swords Holy Land is the Dao of virtue?”
“If I hadn’t seen your skills in Cultivating (growing) the elixir, you wouldn’t even have the chance to be a slave of the Holy Land.”
“But since you refused, you can go die now.”
The disciple turned cold. Suddenly, a chilling sword light appeared and slashed towards Chun Yangzi.
“Not good!!”
Chun Yangzi’s heart tightened. His body separated into nine figures that rushed in all directions.
It was this escaping secret technique that allowed Chun Yangzi to flee from the two Holy Land disciples many times.
Without this secret technique, Chun Yangzi would have long since fallen.
“Chun Yangzi.”
“If you only have this much ability, then just die obediently.”
One of the Holy Land disciples said with disdain in his eyes.
In an instant, the sword light, that slashed towards Chun Yangzi, had also been divided into nine.
Nine Sword Lights were mighty, exuding monstrous killing intent, and shrouded Chun Yangzi.
“It’s over.”
Chun Yangzi’s heart was cold.
He never expected that these two Holy Land disciples would quickly come up with a means of restraining his Secret Technique.
“Even if I die, I will take you all with me!”
Chun Yangzi’s expression looked hideous.
However, at this time…
Hum!
Hum!!
Hum!!!
Ripples suddenly appeared from nothingness. It was as if a calm horizontal plane was vibrating.
Above Chun Yangzi and the two Nine Swords Holy Land disciples, ripples began spreading, one after another.
Under the ripples, the space seemed to have been locked and the sword light, that had slashed at Chun Yangzi, dissipated into nothingness.
“This is?”
The two disciples looked up at the sky with a strong amount of shock in their eyes.
Seeing this, Chun Yangzi also subconsciously followed the gaze of the two Holy Land disciples and looked towards the sky.
With this look, Chun Yangzi saw an unforgettable scene.
He saw that the void was continuously sending ripples. The space then gradually distorted, before finally a passage emerged out of nowhere.
The passage was deep and unfathomable. Under everyone’s disbelieving gaze, a majestic and lofty palace slowly ‘squeezed’ through the passage.
