333: Silver Sea Universe

Seeing this, Qing Hui did not stop his narration, and continued, "The people of Silver Sea Universe have bodies far stronger than what we perceive as body cultivators. Their main laws are integrated into their divine bodies more than in other universes, generally reaching six. I'm talking about main laws, not six laws of Invincible Celestial Gods. Their souls, however, are relatively fragile. To put it bluntly, the people of Phantom Poison Universe are the bane of the Silver Sea Universe people."

Qing Hui then said, "But precisely because the people of Silver Sea Universe have fragile souls, their research in this area is very advanced. All sorts of soul-defending tools emerge endlessly, and the Phantom Poison Universe also has no good way to deal with them. It is under these circumstances that our Yuan Ling Universe appeared, forming a delicate balance."

Xun Xiuyuan asked in confusion, "Didn't you say that the battles on the Cosmic Battlefield are very intense?"

Qing Hui explained, "This balance is a balance of the general trend. Battles in the void have never ceased, because there are many small, ownerless continents in the void, which contain many heavenly treasures. They fight over these, so battles are inevitable. It's just that battles of the Saint King Realm level, requiring an application to the Alliance, have not occurred for nearly ten thousand years under this balance."

Xun Xiuyuan followed Qing Hui into the massive bunker, where there were numerous teleportation arrays, tens of thousands at a glance.

Qing Hui pointed to these teleportation arrays and said, "These teleportation arrays can not only transport people to various corners of the base, but many of them also point directly to specific locations in the void."

As he spoke, he walked to a large teleportation array and said, "The destination of this teleportation array is the Cosmic Abyss, where you are about to go. However, all teleportation arrays leading to the outside are one-way. If you want to return, you must find a way yourself."

Xun Xiuyuan knew about this; the mechanical voice in the hall at the passage entrance had already mentioned it.

Thinking of this, Xun Xiuyuan asked, "Who was that mechanical voice at the passage entrance? And it can create things out of thin air?"

Qing Hui nodded and said, "It can create things out of thin air, because it has reached the peak of the Great Saint Realm. It is an artifact spirit that has evolved to this level over long years. I don't know much else, because it doesn't belong to the Yuan Ling Universe. It only stays here due to an agreement with the Sect Master; only the Sect Master knows the specifics."

After explaining, Qing Hui looked at Xun Xiuyuan and asked, "Are you going to complete your mission now?"

Xun Xiuyuan's main purpose in coming here was to complete the mission. Only by completing the mission could he return to the Yuan Ling Sect, for Xie Nanqiao's childbirth and Ji Wushuang's wedding.

Xun Xiuyuan didn't want to miss any of these events, so he naturally wanted to complete the mission and return to the Yuan Ling Universe as soon as possible.

"Master, I will still go to the Cosmic Abyss to complete the mission."

Xun Xiuyuan gave his answer.

Qing Hui showed no surprise, nodded, and said, "Very well, but you must be careful of the people from the Phantom Poison Universe. If you encounter people from the Yuan Ling Universe, help them if you can."

Xun Xiuyuan nodded, stood on the teleportation array, and amidst the flashing light, Xun Xiuyuan disappeared.

Qing Hui continued to stand inside the fortress, not leaving for a long time.

Until a strong middle-aged man appeared beside him.

The middle-aged man was Titan. This was Titan's first time setting foot on the Cosmic Battlefield in ten thousand years since his injury.

Qing Hui looked at Titan's appearance, completely unsurprised, and asked, "Do you think he can do it? You know, that place isn't so easy to navigate."

Titan smiled and said, "Since Xun Xiuyuan has been able to reach this point, it means his luck is unparalleled. Have you seen his cultivation aptitude?"

Qing Hui frowned and said, "He has no cultivation aptitude at all; he's a true waste. That he could reach the Heavenly God Realm truly exceeded my expectations."

Titan nodded, "The first time I met him, I checked his aptitude. A person with no cultivation talent, yet comparable to the Great Saint Realm. Do you think such a person would die so easily? I hope he is the key to breaking the deadlock."

After a moment of silence, Qing Hui spoke, "He has already gone. I didn't say much, nor did I hint at anything. Everything depends on his true heart."

Titan nodded and said, "Naturally, that should be the case. Rumor has it that the cosmic core can help a Saint-King open up another Great Dao, but I wonder if it's true or false?"

Qing Hui couldn't help but look at Titan, understanding his thoughts, and sighed softly, "That depends on the attribute. If the attribute is duplicated, it's useless."

Afterward, the two stopped speaking, remaining silent for a long time.

Silver Sea Universe Base.

This base was immeasurably larger than the Yuan Ling Universe's base, which indicated that the Silver Sea Universe's strength was many times greater than that of the Yuan Ling Universe.

In the center of the base, a group of Saint King Realm cultivators were holding a meeting.

Seated at the head was Nuke, the President of the Silver Sea Federation, a Saint King Realm powerhouse.

Nuke announced the content of the meeting: "It has been almost three hundred thousand years since the collapse of the Lan Gu Universe, and their cosmic core still has not appeared. Now, there are less than ten years left."

According to the Cosmic Alliance regulations, a collapsed universe is considered a shared period within three hundred thousand years. After three hundred thousand years, the Alliance will send powerful beings to reclaim the collapsed universe.

A council member below spoke, "If not, send another hundred thousand Great Saints to try. It would be a last-ditch effort."

Nuke had no choice but to agree, finally admonishing, "This cosmic core is crucial for Saint-King breakthroughs; we cannot afford to fail."

The female council member nodded. As a council member and the Minister of the Combat Department, she was duty-bound.

So she continued, "We don't need to consider the Yuan Ling Universe for now. We only need to guard against the people of the Phantom Poison Universe."

Nuke looked at Leven, the Minister of the Combat Department, and reminded him, "This Yuan Ling Universe still has some tricks up its sleeve. Fifteen Saint-Kings from the Phantom Poison Universe failed to conquer it, which shows that the Yuan Ling Universe is not as simple as it appears on the surface. After all, the Yuan Ling Universe only had seven Saint-Kings, yet none of them died in the end. The Phantom Poison Universe lost five Saint-Kings; that record is no joke."

Leven smiled and said, "Although they resisted the attack of the Phantom Poison Universe, their leader is rumored to have been corroded by the illusionary poison for a long time and has not appeared since that great battle."

Nuke nodded, then dismissed the meeting, telling Leven to quickly deploy matters concerning the Cosmic Abyss.

After the teleportation ended, Xun Xiuyuan appeared directly in mid-air.

Below was a pitch-black abyss, exerting a strong suction force on Xun Xiuyuan.

Xun Xiuyuan knew that was the entrance to the Cosmic Abyss. He did not resist the suction and plunged directly into the pitch-black hole.

Standing firm again, Xun Xiuyuan saw an incredibly peculiar sight.

He stood on a continent, and the surrounding sky was filled with incredibly dazzling colorful clouds, seemingly very close, yet also very far away.

Images occasionally appeared in the clouds, like the process of a universe's birth: the appearance of planets, the emergence of civilizations, the aging of planets, the destruction of civilizations, repeating in a cycle.

The continent stretched as far as the eye could see, and not a single person was visible.

Xun Xiuyuan walked straight along a line. This place was too strange. He had expected to see a bustling crowd, like a mine, but after entering, he couldn't even see a single person.

It wasn't until a day later that Xun Xiuyuan finally saw a few blurry figures in the distance. They were too far away to see clearly.
