“Here it is!”
Looking at the miniature teleportation array before him, shimmering with strange runes but only one square meter in size, Wen Yu couldn't help but ask, “How do you use it?”
“Just stand on it. This teleportation array has been modified by the sovereign, so there shouldn't be any need for inputting spiritual energy—anyway, you don't have any spiritual energy, and the environment on Earth doesn't cultivate much either.”
Hearing the explanation from the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine, Wen Yu nodded, then looked around at the desolate floating land.
“Isn't there a need to absorb a bit more of the world's origin here?”
Having absorbed the remnants of dozens of souls from the Xianxia Great World on their way here—extremely effortlessly—Wen Yu thought about staying a bit longer, following the principle of taking advantage of every opportunity.
“Not necessary. The little guys at the first level don’t have much origin power themselves. Let’s hurry to the second layer; there’s a place there that should have treasures!”
“Oh? Where?”
“The Heavenly Palace Forge—using your human terminology, it's like an armory, yes, the kind that produces standard equipment!”
“Standard equipment? That sounds pretty low-end.”
“Low? The standard equipment for ninth and tenth level strongmen is all sss rank! If you think it’s inadequate, we can just head straight to the teleportation array!”
The mention of sss rank tugged at Wen Yu's soft heart.
Even if he couldn't use it, selling it would be a significant income!
So...
“sss rank? That’s somewhat impressive!”
...
The sensation of teleportation was slightly different from the treasure land.
The teleportation array of the Xianxia Great World, modified by the sovereign, transported him in a calm and agile manner.
Wen Yu didn’t feel any dizziness; in the blink of an eye, the scenery before him had completely changed!
Gone were the crisscrossing floating continents; the entire scene of the Second Layer of the Heavenly Palace was a vast expanse of land.
“The Second Layer of the Heavenly Palace covers an area of 20 million square kilometers, equivalent to twice the total area of Huaxia. This place is not only the battlefield for former second-level professionals and second-tier demonic creatures but also the site of the forge.”
“All standard equipment for the entire Heavenly Palace battle zone comes from here.”
Twice the total area of Huaxia...
That was no small area, and what was even more terrifying was that this was merely the battlefield for second-level professionals in the Xianxia Great World!
One could see a hint of the former strength and foundation of the Xianxia Great World.
Perhaps sensing Wen Yu's astonishment, the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine interrupted his thoughts with a single sentence.
“Do you think the Xianxia Great World could resist the demonic clan for tens of thousands of years? In terms of strength, foundation, power system, and number of strongmen, during its peak, the Xianxia Great World was not inferior to the demonic clan!”
“When the apocalypse first began, the Xianxia Great World didn't even pay attention to things like the Demon Realm Gate—long before the professional system was established, there were ancient monsters with strength close to the peak of the tenth level!”
“But they still died!”
Wen Yu added expressionlessly.
“Right, they still died. There were too many intricate paths within. I initially thought that the professional system would help the Xianxia Great World rise to new heights, but unexpectedly, that was truly a death warrant!”
“And this is the fundamental reason I wanted you to come in with me—it’s been over tens of thousands of years that the Xianxia Great World could resist the demonic disaster, but you cannot. Therefore, you need to understand some truths and find a way to survive!”
Hearing the words of the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine, Wen Yu raised an eyebrow.
“So, are you saying that by coming in this time, I can gain the means to resist the demonic clan and the sovereign?”
