Chapter 434: Chapter 338 Chaos Yuan Great Venerable_2
It was unclear whether the twenty-seventh layer had transcended the Divine Emperor.
But it is very likely that it had not, perhaps the Divine Emperor was the pinnacle of cultivation.
Chaos Yuan Great Venerable continued, "There have been continuous great battles near the Outer Great Wall, which accidentally opened up a secret land. The appearance of this secret land led both sides to agree on a thousand-year truce to explore the secret land together."
Li Cheng looked at Chaos Yuan Great Venerable with confusion, "Senior Brother, I only know that a great calamity is coming, could it be that extraterritorial creatures are invading from the area of the Outer Great Wall?"
Chaos Yuan Great Venerable nodded, "You're aware of the Emperor's Perishing No Return Domain, right?"
Speaking of the Emperor's Perishing No Return Domain, Li Cheng was quite familiar with it. There, he had obtained dozens of pieces of Nine Heaven's Breathing Soil, over ten Divine Origins, and even seen the Divine Palace left by a formidable demon of heaven and earth. His disciple Qi Jingtian was currently cultivating there.
Chaos Yuan Great Venerable continued, "The Emperor's Perishing No Return Domain is one of the battlefields against extraterritorial creatures. That time, a great demon from heaven and earth led almost all of the Divine Emperor powerhouses of the Divine Realm into battle against extraterritorial creatures.
Although they successfully repelled the extraterritorial creatures, it resulted in the loss of nine out of ten Divine Emperor powerhouses."
"However, the extraterritorial creatures that invaded at that time could not be considered particularly strong. The ones invading now are the real trouble."
Not particularly strong, yet they nearly wiped out all the Divine Emperor powerhouses of the Divine Realm?
Li Cheng felt a heavy weight in his heart, "What kind of beings are they?"
Chaos Yuan Great Venerable sighed, "They claim to be the true rulers of the Divine Realm, banished by the Human Tribe billions of years ago, and now they have returned, determined to take back the Divine Realm."
"They call themselves the God Race, but the Confucius Ancestor has checked, and there is no record of these people whatsoever."
The God Race?
Li Cheng shook his head; who wasn't a god then?
"Senior Brother, was the construction of the Outer Great Wall specifically to stop the God Race?" asked Li Cheng.
Chaos Yuan Great Venerable clearly did not know, shaking his head, "Perhaps, it's too far in the past, no one knows for sure anymore."
"Having said that, the attack of the God Race is fierce, and originally it would have been very difficult for us to hold out much longer. But the appearance of that secret land has turned the tide, leading to a thousand-year truce. This is probably one of our few opportunities."
Li Cheng nodded, "Please explain, Senior Brother!"
With a wave of Chaos Yuan Great Venerable's hand, their surroundings transformed into a vision of the Outer Great Wall.
It was an endless wall, seemingly about ten thousand feet high, but it appeared to be imbued with a terrifying force that shot straight into the sky, severing the entire space.
At that moment, a hundred-feet-wide vortex stood above the wall, half on the side of the Human Tribe and the other half on the side of the God Race.
"It is this secret land that no one expected to exist within the Outer Great Wall!"
"Oddly, neither us nor the God Race can enter if we've reached the Divine Emperor's Realm. The God Race has already sent tens of thousands of Divine Venerables to wait outside the secret land, just waiting for our Divine Venerables to rush over so they can explore together."
As Chaos Yuan Great Venerable spoke, he looked at Li Cheng, "At the moment this secret land appeared, I had a premonition of being called. I can deduce that this secret land is related to Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture!"
"It is very likely that it was left by predecessors who cultivated Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture, or even by a force that cultivates Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture!"
Li Cheng understood; Chaos Yuan Great Venerable was seeking him out with the intent of having him explore the secret land!
As for what he said about advancing the cultivation of Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture to a higher level, he had no intention of pressuring Li Cheng to agree, it was all Li Cheng's own overthinking.
Realizing this, Li Cheng clasped his fists towards Chaos Yuan Great Venerable, "I understand, Senior Brother, I'll hurry over!"
Chaos Yuan Great Venerable nodded, "The God Race has extremely strong combat capabilities, and they will send tens of thousands of Divine Venerables into the secret land. No matter how many we send from the Divine Realm, it would be a death mission. So, the decision is yours. You may bring as many Divine Venerables with you as you like."
Li Cheng was at a loss for words; he already said that sending any number would be a death mission, so what was the point of letting him decide?
Didn't that mean he was expected to go alone?
"I'll go with you," said Yun Fuxue softly, her voice filled with determination.
Li Cheng nodded. "Senior Brother, Junior Sister and I can set out at any time. Please provide me with the route."
The Chaos Yuan Great Venerable waved his hand, "No rush. Let's first talk about the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture. You have cultivated to the twenty-fourth level and are about to face a situation where you can no longer make any progress."
As he spoke, the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable retrieved his projection, and the scene of the Outer Great Wall around him disappeared, transforming into something that resembled a... wasp's nest shadow.
Projected on the shadow was an ellipsoid object with multiple layers inside. At first glance, Li Cheng thought it really was a wasp's nest, as the interior of a wasp's nest is also layered in the same way.
But inside this ellipsoid shape, there were a total of twenty-seven layers, which instantly made Li Cheng understand that this was the Divine World of the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable!
Each layer was a vast expanse of heaven and earth that spanned hundreds of millions of miles, not a wasp's nest.
"I reconstructed my Divine World in the manner of certain creatures. Look, the outer spatial barriers correspond to the entire Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture, and each of the layers inside corresponds to each level of the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture!"
A look of astonishment spread across Li Cheng's face. Such a method of Divine World construction by the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable was truly unfathomable!
If one were to cultivate the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture to completion, then their Divine World would be the Thirty-three Heavens!
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Li Cheng asked, "Senior Brother, how effective is this method?"
The Chaos Yuan Great Venerable smiled, "It's been three billion years since I found this method. At that time, although my strength was at the Divine Emperor level, I could only be considered top-tier among the Divine Emperors, and individuals like the Confucius Ancestor could easily defeat me."
"But after I constructed a Divine World of twenty-five layers, I was already on par with the Confucius Ancestor and others. Now with twenty-seven layers, I am confident that there is no rival in the Divine Realm."
As he said this, the smile on the face of the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable faded, and he sighed before continuing, "Unfortunately, even though I have cultivated the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture to the twenty-seventh level and have the support of twenty-seven heavens, compared to those of the God Race, I don't have much of an advantage."
These words unexpectedly shocked Li Cheng. The Chaos Yuan Great Venerable, with such strength, still felt somewhat helpless against the God Race?
What kind of existence were these members of the God Race?
Seeing this, it seemed the God Race must be extremely powerful. How had the ancestors of the Divine Realm managed to drive them away a trillion years ago?
At the same time, Li Cheng was also curious why the high echelons of the Divine Realm were so unwilling to let the God Race cross the Outer Great Wall. What was the reason for this?
If it was just because the God Race was powerful, that didn't seem like a sufficient explanation.
Li Cheng did not voice this question. He would find out when he reached the Outer Great Wall and asked his father.
"I'm sharing this just to inspire you. Although my method of constructing the Divine World can greatly enhance one's power and allow one to cultivate the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture to higher levels, it may not be suitable for you. How you decide to proceed is up to you," said the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable.
The Chaos Yuan Great Venerable retracted his projection and added, "Perhaps you could find an even better path."
Li Cheng smiled. The method of the Thirty-three Heavens was already outstanding, but with his current level of cultivation, he was not fit to attempt it. He would wait until he entered the Divine Emperor's Realm to consider it.
Moreover, since the Secret Land that appeared near the Outer Great Wall was related to the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture, perhaps he would find deeper and more profound methods within it.
Apart from the method of the Thirty-three Heavens provided by the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable, Li Cheng believed that there must be other methods. Otherwise, the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture would not have been divided into thirty-three levels.
"Thank you for the guidance, Senior Brother. I'll give it a try when the time comes," Li Cheng said, clasping his fist in gratitude.
The Chaos Yuan Great Venerable nodded, "I do hope that in that Secret Land, you will find a better method, or at least the reason why the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture cannot be broken through normally. In any case, I'm counting on you!"
"Oh, and the area of the Secret Land might be the Ancient Ruins, thought to originate from epochs ago, and may even have existed since the creation of heaven and earth. You must be fully prepared," reminded the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable.
If it was indeed from an ancient time, then the order within it would undoubtedly differ from the present. Being suppressed upon entry was a minor issue; the main problem would arise if one's power conflicted with the order of the land.
Li Cheng nodded and smiled, "With the inclusiveness of our Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture, we'll surely thrive once inside!"
There was something else Li Cheng did not say: he felt that the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable sharing this with him must have been at his father's behest.
The reason, of course, was his own Extreme Heaven Holy Body!
