4287 The Myriad Worlds

Su Bi Lie nodded and said, "That's right. Yun Ting Feng, the Clan Leader of the Yun clan, visited me."

Duan Ling Tian was surprised that Yun Ting Feng personally visited the Myriad Laws Academy. He was naturally curious about the purpose of Yun Ting Feng's visit.

As though he could see the question in Duan Ling Tian's mind, Su Bi Lie said with a faint smile on his face, "He asked for you to be expelled from the Myriad Laws Academy. In other words, he wants the academy to abandon you." After a beat, he continued to say, "Although the Myriad Laws Academy isn't a prime supreme-rank force and has no supreme powerhouses, we have connections with a few supreme powerhouses. For this reason, even prime supreme-rank forces won't simply offend the academy. As a prodigy of the academy, the academy naturally values you greatly. If he kills a student of the academy, it's not different from making an enemy out of the academy. Hence, he wants the academy to expel you to avoid unnecessary trouble when he kills you."

Duan Ling Tian was enlightened after listening to Su Bi Lie's words. He looked at Su Bi Lie as he said solemnly, "So that's the reason… Thank you, Academy Master."

Based on Su Bi Lie's words, it was clear that Su Bi Lie refused Yun Ting Feng. Moreover, Duan Ling Tian knew that Yun Ting Feng must have offered Su Bi Lie some kind of benefit to expel him. As such, he felt very thankful to Su Bi Lie and that he owed Su Bi Lie a favor.

"You're being too courteous," Su Bi Lie shook his head and said, "Please don't feel that you owe me a favor. I did what was right. If I expel you because of Yun Ting Feng, the Inner Palace faction will definitely sever ties with the academy."

Su Bi Lie's expression turned solemn when he mentioned the Inner Palace faction. He continued to say, "Perhaps, you might wonder why the Inner Palace faction is strong but alienated from the Myriad Laws Academy. The Inner Palace faction is a guardian of the academy and has contributed greatly to the academy. In fact, without the Inner Palace faction, the academy won't have connections to the supreme powerhouses." He paused briefly before he continued to say, "Duan Ling Tian, you'll learn more about the Inner Palace faction when the time comes. You might now know this, but the Inner Palace faction is strong enough to stand on its own as a heavyweight supreme-rank force. You're a peerless prodigy. Your Third Senior Brother and Fourth Senior Sister are also rare prodigies. No one in the academy can compare to them, let alone surpass them. Although your Second Senior Brother is slightly weaker talent-wise, his comprehension skills are on par with your Third Senior Brother and Fourth Senior Sister. Then, there's your Eldest Senior Sister. No one doubts her capabilities. I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand three moves from her now even though in terms of seniority, I'm her junior granduncle."

Su Bi Lie smiled self-deprecatingly after he finished speaking.

Duan Ling Tian was not surprised by how extraordinary Yang Yu Chen and Lang Chun Yuan were. They would not be recruited by the Inner Palace faction if they were not monstrous prodigies from the lower realms. It was the same for him. If he did not have high innate talent and comprehension skills, Yang Yu Chen would not have personally invited him to join the Myriad Laws Academy's Inner Palace faction.

However, despite hearing about his Eldest Senior Sister multiple times, Duan Ling Tian was still shocked when Su Bi Lie spoke about his Eldest Senior Sister. In the past, Yang Yu Chen had told him that Su Bi Lie might not be as strong as the leaders of the prime supreme-rank forces, but Su Bi Lie was still among the strongest advanced Supreme Gods.

'Eldest Senior Sister is so strong?'

Duan Ling Tian suddenly felt a sense of security after realizing how strong his Eldest Senior Sister was. Although he had never met his Eldest Senior Sister, based on what Yang Yu Chen and Lang Chun Yuan said, his Eldest Senior Sister was very protective of her juniors in the Inner Palace faction.

Duan Ling Tian asked curiously, "Academy Master, based on your words, it seems like my Eldest Senior Sister is very strong. How strong is she compared to Yun Ting Feng, the Clan Leader of the Yun clan?"

Yun Ting Feng was naturally very strong. He was one of the strongest advanced Supreme Gods.

Su Bi Lie shook his head and said, "It's difficult to say. I'm also not confident I'll be able to withstand three moves from Yun Ting Feng. If your Eldest Senior Sister has improved her cultivation in recent years, perhaps, she'll be comparable to Yun Ting Feng…"

Duan Ling Tian was once again shocked by Su Bi Lie's words. Yun Ting Feng, the Clan Leader of the Yun clan, was only second to the supreme powerhouse of the Yun clan. He did not expect his Eldest Senior Sister to be comparable to one of the strongest advanced Supreme Gods. He finally understood why Su Bi Lie said that the Inner Palace faction was strong enough to stand on its own as a heavyweight supreme-rank force.

Finally, Duan Ling Tian decided to ask about the matter that brought him back to the Profound Energy Land. "Academy Master, I heard that my Eldest Senior Sister is in the Outer Boundary. My Fourth Senior Sister doesn't know much so you can tell me about the Outer Boundary?"

Su Bi Lie shook his head. "There's no need for you to know too much about it at this point in your life. Although you're now a rudimentary Supreme God, the Outer Boundary is still very far from reach for you. Not counting the supreme powerhouses, under normal circumstances, only advanced Supreme Gods can go to the Outer Boundary. Unless they possess strength comparable to advanced Supreme Gods, those below the realm of an advanced Supreme God will die if they go to the Outer Boundary."

When Su Bi Lie saw the curiosity and anticipation burning in Duan Ling Tian's eyes, he said, "If you're really curious, I'll tell you about it. I hope it doesn't bring your harm. Instead, I hope it further motivates you to soar to greater heights."

"The God Defying World isn't the only world. The Outer Boundary connects to many worlds, collectively known as the Myriad Worlds. The God Defying World is just one of the Myriad Worlds. If you're strong enough, you can travel to other worlds through the Outer Boundary," Su Bi Lie explained.

"The God Defying World is one of the Myriad Worlds?" Duan Ling Tian was shocked.

"No one knows the specifics, but more than 10,000 worlds have been discovered up until now. However, most of them are weak and subjugated by stronger worlds. Our God Defying World alone rules over more than a dozen weaker worlds. However, among the Myriad Worlds, we're not considered the strongest even if we're not weak. There are three strongest worlds among the Myriad Worlds, and they rule over more than a hundred worlds each, and our God Defying World is among them. Including our Our God Defying World, there are 18 worlds with similar strength."

"Usually, weaker worlds have fewer than ten supreme powerhouses. Of course, there are exceptions when those supreme powerhouses are extremely powerful. For example, among the 18 worlds, which we're a part of, there's a very powerful supreme powerhouse. He's comparable to the strongest supreme powerhouse from the three strongest worlds. Due to his strength, the world he's from is considered strong even though there are only a few supreme powerhouses there."

"The Outer Boundary that connects the Myriad Worlds is a miraculous place. It rewards those who are very strong. The Trial of Gods and the Realm Battlefield were created by supreme powerhouses in the image of the Outer Boundary. The rewards on the Realm Battlefield aren't just from the supreme powerhouses. The weak worlds that the God Defying World rule contributed as well. When the vital energy of a world is depleted, the world and its inhabitants will be destroyed. Only supreme powerhouses will survive. This is unfortunately the sad fate of weak worlds. We should feel grateful that the God Defying World isn't one of them. Otherwise, unless we become supreme powerhouses or are acquainted with a supreme powerhouse, we won't be able to escape death when the world ends."

Duan Ling Tian gained a deeper understanding of the Outer Boundary after listening to Su Bi Lie's explanation.

In short, the Outer Boundary connected the Myriad Worlds, and there were three strongest worlds. The God Defying World was not one of the three strongest worlds, and it was one of the 18 worlds directly under the rules of the three worlds. Below the 18 worlds were the weakest worlds where they had fewer than ten supreme powerhouses respectively.
