BXBX NOVEL Chapter 360: Peering Eyes.
“Outside… An aura from outside the world?”
The tall figure, sitting cross-legged, whispered to himself. There was a look of surprise in his eyes, as if he had discovered something extremely incredible.
“Holy Lord?”
“What have you found?”
Below the tall figure, several of the Nine Swords Holy Land Supreme Elders’ pupils shrank. They immediately asked.
[T/N: Changed Supreme Elders to Supreme Elders]
Although the Nine Swords Realm was a small world opened up by the Supreme Powerhouse Jiu Li, when he left, he had never left any means to leave the Nine Swords Realm. Hence, for tens of thousands of years, they had been trapped in the Nine Swords Realm.
For ordinary people, even for those Peak Legends, there was not much difference between the Nine Swords Realm and the Human World. It was because the small world will not experience the silence in vitality. But in the eyes of Earth Immortals, the Nine Swords Realm was no different from a cage.
Jiu Li had used a method to keep the vitality and spirit in the Nine Swords Realm at a full state. But for Cultivating in the Earth Immortal Realm, it was far from enough. Even more, it was necessary for Earth Immortals to comprehend the Dao Laws of the Heavens and Earth. This was especially important when those in the Return To Origin Phase enter the Divine Ruin Phase……
The Nine Swords Realm was a small world opened by a Supreme Powerhouse. It was not a real world like the Human World. Naturally, it had no Dao Law.
Therefore, even if they had countless resources in the entire Nine Swords Realm, and even the inheritance left by the Supreme Powerhouse Jiu Li, due to the restrictions of the world, the strongest of the Nine Swords Holy Land was only at the Return To Origin Phase.
This had been the case for tens of thousands of years, and nothing had changed.
Therefore, all of the Earth Immortals of the Nine Swords Holy Land were eager to leave the Nine Swords Realm and go to the rumored Human World.
Although there were waves of vitality in the Human World, at least, they would not be as hopeless as they were while being in the Nine Swords Realm.
When the Supreme Powerhouse Jiu Li brought the creatures here 50,000 years ago, he had never thought of letting them leave. In his eyes, they were nothing, but a result of a random act he did. He had no responsibility towards them.
“Through the Divine Sword, I sensed the presence of an aura from outside the world…”
The Nine Swords Holy Lord stared at the vibrating Divine Sword in front of him, and said in a deep voice.
The reason why the ancestors of the Nine Swords Holy Land had managed to occupy the periphery of the Holy Mountain and founded the Nine Swords Holy Land, was precisely because of this Divine Sword.
Through this Divine Sword, the past Holy Masters of the Nine Swords Holy Land could faintly radiate their perceptions to the entire Nine Swords World. Although the feedback they got was not completely clear, they could still feel auras that were obviously different from the world itself….
“The outside world…”
The Supreme Elders trembled in unison, their faces horrified.
“Could it be that the Supreme Powerhouse Jiu Li has returned?” One of the Supreme Elders, wearing an ugly expression, asked with a trembling voice.
The Nine Swords Realm was opened up by Supreme Powerhouse Jiu Li and was hidden in the depths of the void. Other than him, other existences, even if they were also Supreme Powerhouses, would have a difficult time finding it.
Although the Supreme Powerhouses could break the void and survive in its depths, the void was boundless. To find the Nine Swords Realm with such precision, was akin to looking for a needle in a haystack.
It was precisely because of this, that the Supreme Elder doubted whether it was really the Supreme Powerhouse Jiu Li who had returned.
Only the one who opened the world in the first place, could find its location so easily and enter it.
“The Supreme Powerhouse Jiu Li…” A trace of fear appeared on the other Supreme Elders’ faces.
The Nine Swords Holy Land occupied the Holy Mountain and was known as the inheritance of the Supreme Powerhouse Jiu Li, but in fact, the Nine Swords Holy Land had forcibly occupied the Holy Mountain after Jiu Li left.
If Jiu Li really returned, then the Nine Swords Holy Land would be the first in line to go into the gates of Hell.
“It’s over…”
The face of a third Supreme Elder turned ashen.
They were only Earth Immortals at the Return To Origin Phase. They were not even in the Divine Ruin Phase, so how could they defeat Jiu Li?
“It’s not the Supreme Powerhouse Jiu Li…” The Nine Swords Holy Master took a deep breath. He glanced at the others with pale faces and shook his head.
Even a Supreme Powerhouse of the Broken Void Realm only had 5000 years of lifespan. Once that time passed, even if their body did not rot, their Primordial Spirit would have been depleted. Perhaps the legendary Primordial Spirit lineage could exceed the 5000 years years limit, but it was absolutely impossible to survive for 50,000 years.
Besides, if it was really the Supreme Powerhouse Jiu Li, the entire Holy Mountain would have risen at this moment and returned to his palm.
According to the ancient books recorded left by the ancestors of the Nine Swords Holy Land, the Supreme Powerhouse Jiu Li had refined the entire Holy Mountain into a treasure. Even if the Nine Swords Holy Land continuously refined it for 50,000 years, the area they managed to obtain was less than 1/10,000.
Even so, the Nine Swords Holy Land managed to rely on this to rule the world for 50,000 years.
“Not the Supreme Powerhouse Jiu Li?”
The Supreme Elders looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as it was not the Supreme Powerhouse Jiu Li, everything was fine and there was room to maneuver.
“Is it possible that a different Supreme Powerhouse had coincidentally discovered the Nine Swords Realm?” Another Supreme Elder guessed.
“It shouldn’t be a Supreme Powerhouse.” The Nine Swords Holy Lord hesitated for a while and before slowly saying.
“See for yourself.”
The Nine Swords Holy Lord’s eyes turned slightly and looked at the Divine Sword in front of him.
At this moment, he raised his right hand and placed it on the sword.
Immediately, the Divine Sword suddenly let out a cry and then, a light curtain appeared on the sword body. Images gradually emerged in front of everyone.
These images then quickly spread in a certain direction, as if a scene from a very distant place was reflected on it.
Soon, the image of a huge and majestic palace appeared. Behind the palace was a dark passage.
“Void Passage…”
“This is the Void Passage!”
“Sure enough, it is the aura of the outside world.”
When the Elders saw this scene, their heart beats suddenly accelerated.
Since there was a Void Passage, it meant that if they followed it, they could leave the Nine Swords Realm.
This gave them an unprecedented hope.
“Is this huge palace a treasure?”
“It’s not a Supreme Treasure. The aura of a Supreme Treasure is different. This should be a large or even super-large Spatial Artifact.”
The Supreme Elder, who first spoke, solemnly said.
Generally speaking, a large-scale Spatial artifact was comparable to Supreme Treasures. As for super-large Spatial Artifacts, they were even comparable to Destiny Treasures.
“Humph!”
“Even if it is really a super-large Spatial Artifact, can it block the eyes of the Divine Sword?”
A white-browed Supreme Elder snorted coldly and said.
After discovering the Void Passage, the Supreme Elders also realized that the existence, who snuck into the Nine Swords Realm, should not be a Supreme Powerhouse.
After all, Supreme Powerhouses could shatter the void with their hands and feet. They do not need a Void Passage nor be sheltered by a super-large Spatial Artifact to pass through the Void Passage.
“We’re overthinking it too much.”
“If it really is a Supreme Powerhouse, at this moment the entire Nine Swords Realm should have long since surrendered to the vast aura of the Supreme Powerhouse. Could we still be waiting and holding a discussion here if that was the case?”
The more the Elders thought about it, the more confident they became.
In their opinion, it should just be a lucky person who found the Void Passage by chance, and then entered the Nine Swords Realm through the Void Passage.
With the background of the Nine Swords Realm, even if they encountered a Divine Ruin Phase Earth Immortal, they could resist them a few times. As for anyone below that, they didn’t give them any attention.
“Let’s see which ‘lucky one’ brought us the Void Passage…”
The Supreme Elders continued to watch.
At this moment, more images continued to emerge, before finally two figures appeared.
Among these two figures, one was slender and tall, while the other was respectfully standing. He seemed to be answering a question.
“It’s him!”
The Holy Master had his eyes instantly focus on the slender and tall figure.
Just when the Nine Swords Holy Master and the Supreme Elders were looking at this tall figure.
The tall figure seemed to sense something and raised his head slightly. His deep eyes ‘looked’ towards them.
At this moment, the Holy Master and the Supreme Elders felt like they saw a vast world under that pair of eyes. Including the Holy Master, everyone began to quickly sink into darkness.
[Hum]!!!
In an instant, the Divine Sword began to vibrate violently again.
Scene after scene, the images kept collapsing and shattering.
When the images completely collapsed, the Holy Master and others snapped out of it. Their faces turned pale and their expressions showed their shock.
