#2387 - Feeling the light in the darkness

"Here they come."

Upon arriving at the secret realm's entrance area, several Nine Heavens Saint Immortal Realm dark powerhouses stepped forward, scrutinizing the gathered dark prodigies, and nodding in greeting to the royal disciples.

"How is it going? Has the entrance's sealing restriction been removed?"

A royal prodigy looked towards the entrance, questioning the Nine Heavens Saint Immortal Realm dark powerhouses guarding the area.

"Almost there. Only a final wisp of order energy remains, which will dissipate within at most a quarter of an hour.

This time, you prodigies entering the secret realm may obtain great opportunities.

If the Source of Light truly exists within, please bring it out, and the Emperor will surely reward you handsomely in the future. I wish you success!"

At this point, the gazes of the dark powerhouses guarding the secret realm's entrance fell upon Jun Wu Xie and Queen Rhine, before one of them questioned the royal prodigy: "Who are these two? I don't recall seeing them before. Which sect or family do they come from?"

As the words fell, the gazes of those Nine Heavens Saint Immortal Realm powerhouses all focused on Jun Wu Xie and Queen Rhine, filled with scrutiny and interrogation.

The royal prodigies in front of them hurriedly signaled with their eyes.

"We come from whichever family or sect we please, you have no right to ask."

Jun Wu Xie, holding Queen Rhine's hand, took a few steps forward, arriving before those Nine Heavens Saint Immortal Realm dark powerhouses, his gaze sweeping across their faces, displaying considerable dominance.

"Impudence..."

Those powerhouses' eyes flashed with cold light, and with a deep shout, they were about to continue, but the following words abruptly ceased as a certain prodigy transmitted a message.

Almost simultaneously, the coldness on those powerhouses' faces instantly vanished, replaced by fear and dread. They immediately plastered on smiling faces, "Young Master, Miss, we were ignorant. Please forgive us."

The several dark powerhouses, who had just been questioning and angered, were now full of flattery, their hearts filled with fear, to the point that their bodies were trembling slightly, lowering their heads before Jun Wu Xie and Queen Rhine, not daring to breathe loudly, appearing utterly submissive and terrified.

"Remember to keep your eyes open in the future,"

Jun Wu Xie patted the shoulder of the dark powerhouse at the front, "Otherwise, it could easily bring you a fatal disaster, even implicating your family or sect."

The several dark powerhouses shuddered, their faces turning pale with fright, and hurriedly responded in low voices, meekly and subserviently.

Although they were Nine Heavens Saint Immortal Realm powerhouses, possessing high status and position in the dark world,

they were simply incomparable to the royal prodigies.

The difference in status and position was too great.

Each royal prodigy was the royal family's treasure, with a large number of Grand Luo Golden Immortals protecting them.

The royal family's power was such that even a stomp of their feet would shake their dark world, and even the Dark Emperor would protect them.

Even for the royal family, the imperial family held an unshakable and noble position.

"Young Master, Miss, we have a situation to report,"

a dark powerhouse said obsequiously: "During these days when the secret realm's sealing restriction has been dissipating, we have vaguely sensed foreign world fluctuations.

We suspect that the world within the secret realm does not belong to the Divine Beginning world, and may be from another world.

Furthermore, the world within the secret realm may be connected to other foreign worlds.

If that is truly the case, Young Master, Miss, you must be extremely careful after entering the secret realm.

After all, if other worlds have passages connecting to the secret realm's world, no one can say for sure what realm of powerhouses they might send. Everything is unknown."

"Another world? Hmm, we understand."

Jun Wu Xie nodded, no longer speaking, simply quietly awaiting the complete dissipation of the secret realm's final wisp of sealing restriction.

"Divine King, is what the dark powerhouse said reliable?

Is the secret realm truly a foreign world?

Are there other worlds connected to the secret realm's world?"

Queen Rhine was shocked upon hearing this news.

She had never been to other worlds and was completely unaware of such things.

All the information she had heard about foreign worlds came from the Lower and Upper Realms.

However, the cultivation civilization levels of those two worlds were relatively low, and the world environment was far inferior to the Divine Beginning world.

At least, that had been the case since ancient times. As for what they were like now, she had no idea.

After all, the Upper and Lower Realms had long been unified by the Divine King, who had created a prosperous age. Whether the world environment had undergone any changes was difficult to say.

As long as it was related to the Divine King, there were infinite possibilities.

"It's basically reliable.

The dark powerhouses come from the dark world.

Their world's world order is complete, so they are more sensitive to such fluctuations."

"Then, if other worlds also have passages into this secret realm, what level of world do you think it would be, Divine King? It shouldn't be weaker than the Divine Beginning world, right?"

"Generally speaking, it wouldn't be weaker than the Divine Beginning world. The possibility of it being equal to the Divine Beginning world or even a higher level is greatest. The possibility of a lower cultivation civilization is relatively small."

Jun Wu Xie saw what Queen Rhine was thinking and said through voice transmission: "Don't worry, I'm here.

The cultivators from other worlds are not as terrifying as you imagine.

This secret realm is not simple.

The great powerhouses of the past constructed the secret realm, leaving opportunities for future generations. They would definitely consider many factors and various situations.

Therefore, all such secret realms would inevitably have some kind of restriction.

Even if the cultivation civilization level of a certain world is very high, its powerhouses, upon entering the secret realm, would not be able to exert their strength as they pleased.

Otherwise, what would be the point of those who left the secret realm leaving the entrance to the secret realm in the Divine Beginning world?"

"Divine King's words are reasonable. I didn't think of that."

Rhine's heart gradually calmed, only holding Jun Wu Xie's arm even tighter.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly.

The aura of the order seal at the entrance of the secret realm completely disappeared at this moment.

The entrance was located beneath a mountain wall, an elliptical light gate about three meters high and two meters wide.

"All prodigies, please wait a moment. We'll try first."

Immediately, a dark powerhouse of the Nine Heavens Saint Immortal Realm walked towards the light gate.

The prodigies present were all treasures cultivated by various forces.

Among them were not only royal prodigies, but also two prodigies from the imperial family.

They naturally did not dare to be careless and needed to be as cautious as possible, fearing any accidents.

The moment the dark powerhouse of the Nine Heavens Saint Immortal Realm stepped into the light gate, strands of order instantly emerged, hanging down, directly pressing him to his knees, his flesh and blood cracking.

Immediately afterward, an irresistible force struck, blasting him out.

The dark powerhouse coughed up large mouthfuls of blood. After landing, he retreated a great distance before stabilizing himself, clutching his chest, his face pale.

"As expected, the secret realm truly has restrictions.

Since the entrance to this secret realm is opened in the Divine Beginning world, the restrictions should be set according to the highest realm of the Divine Beginning world.

Those exceeding the God Realm of the Divine Beginning world cannot enter, and will suffer the impact of order.

You prodigies are in the Yuan Immortal Realm, which corresponds exactly to the Eternal God Realm of the Divine Beginning world. Entering the secret realm should not be repelled by order.

I wonder which of you is willing to try."

The dark prodigies were immediately silent.

"I'll go."

Jun Wu Xie walked directly towards the entrance of the secret realm.

"Young Master, Miss, no!"

The expressions of several dark powerhouses of the Nine Heavens Saint Immortal Realm changed instantly, attempting to dissuade him.

How could they let an imperial prodigy try?

If something happened, no one could bear the responsibility.

If the imperial family's anger descended, they would all be finished!

The other dark prodigies finally reacted, volunteering to try.

However, Jun Wu Xie did not stop.

He and Queen Rhine had already arrived in front of the light gate at the secret realm's entrance, stepping into the light gate in one step.

Unlike the previous dark powerhouse, they did not suffer the suppression and impact of order, standing well within the light gate.

Seeing this scene, the dark powerhouses and dark prodigies breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, their hearts had been so tense they were about to explode.

If something had happened to the imperial prodigy at the entrance of the secret realm, they would all have been truly finished.

Not only that, but their families and sects would also be implicated.

Jun Wu Xie and Queen Rhine glanced at them, stepping forward and disappearing from the sight of the dark powerhouses.

Subsequently, the other dark prodigies also walked into the light gate in an orderly manner, disappearing from sight.

...

After Jun Wu Xie and Queen Rhine entered the secret realm's world through the light gate, they appeared on a mountain peak deep within a mountain range.

Behind them, an elliptical light gate emerged, slowly closing.

However, it did not completely close in the end, leaving a gap.

The light gate did not disappear, but was in a semi-dormant state, floating on the mountain peak, only half a meter above the ground.

"It seems we can't deal with those dark prodigies for the time being."

Jun Wu Xie turned to look at the semi-dormant light gate.

From this state, it could be inferred that entering from the secret realm's entrance would lead to different coordinate positions within the secret realm's world.

He had originally planned that if they entered at the same location, he would eliminate all those dark prodigies.

Now, being located in different positions, it would take time to find them.

This was not their main purpose for entering the secret realm.

This secret realm's world was very likely connected to other worlds.

Meaning that the opening of the secret realm this time was not only for the Divine Beginning world.

There should also be prodigies from other worlds who have entered here.

Therefore, he did not have so much time to waste.

Moreover, the order within this secret realm was very strong, even stronger than the suppression in the Divine Beginning world, where the world environment had changed.

To find those dark prodigies in such a large area would definitely take a long time.

Furthermore, after entering, they would all be searching within the secret realm, constantly moving.

Searching for them would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.

"Divine King, where do we go now?"

Arriving in this secret realm, looking at the vast mountains and rivers in sight, Queen Rhine suddenly had no idea what to do.

"Let's go where we can sense the aura of light."

Within Jun Wu Xie's body, the Taiji Eight Trigrams Star Sea revolved, the ink-black Star Sea seething incessantly, releasing an incomparably dense aura of darkness, as if inking the heavens and earth.

This scene made Queen Rhine's heart palpitate with fear, even feeling suffocated!

If she weren't holding his arm, and a pure force flowed from Jun Wu Xie's body into hers through their contact, purifying the negative sensations within her, she would truly find it very difficult to adapt.

This dark energy was simply too pure and intense.

For a moment, she even felt that the Divine Lord came from the dark world.

But she knew that the Divine Lord was not a creature of darkness!

He was the unparalleled hero who calmed the apocalyptic torrents of the two realms, capable of anything!

The dark energy spread like a mountain flood, sweeping towards the surroundings, filling the high heavens, forming a terrifying scene.

A pure light covered Queen Rhine, forming a light罩 barrier, enveloping her, isolating the impact of the dark force.

Jun Wu Xie closed his eyes, sensing the light while immersed in darkness.

He stood within the dense dark energy, and within a thousand meters in all directions, everything transformed into a world of darkness.

Darkness and light are opposed, and the perception between them is the strongest.

He was using this characteristic to sense the location of the source of light, which was infinitely far away from this place.
