Even with the powerful eyesight of the High Eldritches, they could only see a blurry silhouette.
Wu Yuan quickly reached the 100-li mark.
Rumble! A hazy glow appeared on Wu Yuan’s body, the manifestation of the Law of Life’s profundities he had invoked.
Hum~ As soon as he set foot in this area, Wu Yuan felt an invisible pressure surging towards him.
Hm? So weak? A trace of surprise flashed in Wu Yuan’s eyes. This pressure, enough to send Eldritch Deity Hou Tu toppling into the water, couldn’t make him budge at all?
Is it because of my cultivation level? Wu Yuan pondered.
At the moment, he had not deployed his Archeldritch Divine Artifacts to unleash mana comparable to a Fourth Tribulation High Eldritch. His cultivation base was still at the ninth-stage Elysian Field phase.
It seemed that the pressure manifested by the Creation Divine Hall’s lake corresponded to the intruder’s cultivation level? The higher the cultivation, the higher the pressure would be.
Creation Divine Hall? Wu Yuan’s gaze fell on the slightly hazy divine hall in the depths of the lake, which was the greatest opportunity in the entire Huanggu World.
Nearly three hundred years had passed since he arrived at Huanggu. After experiencing so much, he had finally reached this step, arriving before the Creation Divine Hall. How could Wu Yuan be content with failure?
Let’s go! A hint of fighting spirit gleamed in Wu Yuan’s eyes as ripples of Life True Intent enveloped his body, and he charged straight toward the Creation Divine Hall.
Two hundred li, three hundred li, four hundred li… With every hundred li crossed, the unseen pressure would increase a notch. But Wu Yuan’s speed did not slow in the slightest. He charged straight through.
“Eight hundred li already, how fast! And he didn’t slow down at all?”
“He has surpassed Eldritch Deity Zhu Jiu.”
“Eldritch Deity Hou Feng is so powerful.” All the High Eldritches watched this scene with utter shock.
At the beginning, several High Eldritches had said things like ‘Eldritch Deity Hou Feng might reach 700 li, but 800 li will be tough’, and ‘probably around the same distance as Eldritch Deity Zhu Jiu’ and so on.
It wasn’t that they didn’t think highly of Wu Yuan. They just felt that Eldritch Deity Zhu Jiu was already amazing to have reached the 800-li mark.
Although Wu Yuan was strong, they thought it was all due to his reliance on the power of the Archeldritch Divine Artifacts.
“Nine hundred li now, and his speed has only slightly decreased?” A hint of shock flashed in Eldritch Deity Zhu Jiu’s eyes.
He had exerted all his strength just to reach the 800-li mark. But Wu Yuan hadn’t slowed down at all, as if that invisible pressure had no effect on him. The difference between them was perhaps a bit too great.
“930 li, 960 li, 990 li.” Eldritch Deity Hou Tu stared intently.
So close! At this moment, all the High Eldritches watched Wu Yuan with bated breath.
If it had been me two hundred years ago, I might have been unable to withstand such pressure. Wu Yuan’s mind remained perfectly calm.
Now, Wu Yuan’s strength was more than tenfold greater than before.
Whoosh! Wu Yuan’s speed slowed. Each step he took across the lake’s surface sent ripples radiating outwards.
Finally, he stepped onto the lowest metal step of the Creation Divine Hall. Then, he disappeared.
“He’s gone?”
“Where’s Eldritch Deity Hou Feng?”
“I can’t contact him.” Several eldritch race veteran elders quickly noticed and spoke up, causing an uproar among this group of High Eldritches.
“No need to panic,” Eldritch Deity Zhu Jiu’s gaze swept over them as he spoke with a faint smile, “Eldritch Deity Hou Feng’s talent is extraordinary, he’s actually able to enter the Creation Divine Hall in one go.
His disappearance probably means he has entered the interior of the Creation Divine Hall. We just need to wait patiently for him to come out,” Eldritch Deity Zhu Jiu said.
However, Eldritch Deity Zhu Jiu was also pondering how Hou Feng had managed to enter the Creation Divine Hall.
The last 200 li didn’t seem far, but once one’s strength reached a certain level, taking even one more step forward was extremely difficult. By Eldritch Deity Zhu Jiu’s estimate, even if he spent several million years, he might not successfully break into the Creation Divine Hall.
Moreover, several million years? He was unwilling to wait.
Eldritch Deity Hou Feng didn’t use the Archeldritch Divine Artifacts, nor did he show signs of using the Creation Divine Artifacts. It seems that at different cultivation levels, the pressure is also different. When he emerges, we’ll have to ask him in detail. Eldritch Deity Zhu Jiu thought to himself.
…
As soon as he stepped onto the stairs of the Creation Divine Hall, Wu Yuan felt a fog engulf his mind, and the distant hall seemed to call out to him. Unconsciously, Wu Yuan walked up the stairs and entered the hall, his eyes unfocused.
This? Wu Yuan suddenly awoke from his dreamlike state, his gaze instantly sweeping across his surroundings. He was both shocked and alarmed. That power controlled me? If it wanted me to kill myself, I would already be dead.
This technique had surpassed anything Wu Yuan could hope to resist. If the other party wished to kill him, they could do so with a mere thought.
Before him, a majestic temple emerged, towering in its grandeur. On either side stood rows of ancient, imposing pillars, each one etched with faint patterns. At first glance, the patterns seemed to narrate the rise of a great figure. However, it was too unfamiliar to Wu Yuan, so he couldn’t discern much.
Whoosh! Countless light beams converged, forming a huge illusory jade platform at the end of the great hall. A figure in black robes stood on the platform.
His face was gaunt, with black scales faintly growing on his cheeks, but his eyes were extremely spirited. When he appeared, his powerful aura instantly permeated the entire hall.
When his eyes fell on Wu Yuan, Wu Yuan’s heart trembled slightly. A feeling of being psychologically dissected overwhelmed him.
“Hou Feng pays his respects to Senior,” Wu Yuan greeted respectfully.
“At last, you’ve come. I’ve been waiting for a long time. Honestly, I expected it would take several hundred more years before you arrived, but those three fools were more reckless than I anticipated, pushing you here ahead of schedule. Consider this an opportunity for you.
However, of those three fools, apart from one who was a bit smarter, the other two have already gotten themselves killed trying to escape. But that’s fine too.” The black-robed figure’s voice was deep and resonant, echoing throughout the great hall.
Waited for a long time? Wu Yuan was inwardly shocked.
The three fools, did he mean the three Imperial Majesties of the immortal race? They were all dead?
“Hou Feng, you don’t need to address me as a Senior. I am the Creation Emissary; you can just call me Emissary,” the black-robed figure said calmly.
Creation Emissary? Wu Yuan’s confusion grew.
What did that mean? What exactly was going on with this Creation Divine Hall?
“You’ve descended here with an Immutable Token, arriving at the Creation Divine Hall, the site of the greatest opportunity in this entire world. Of course I would appear before you,” the black-robed elderly man said impassively.
“I’ve been observing this entire world, watching your progress. You’ve done remarkably well, advancing at a speed beyond my imagination.”
Wu Yuan was secretly startled. So, his every move had been under the watchful eye of this black-robed elderly man, this so-called Creation Emissary. Moreover, the other party even knew about the Immutable Token?
“Esteemed Emissary,” Wu Yuan adapted smoothly, asking, “What would you have this junior do? What is the great opportunity within this Creation Divine Hall?”
When in doubt, ask.
The Immutable Land was too mysterious. The Huanggu World he had been teleported to felt too real; it couldn’t be an illusion, it had to be a genuine world.
Was the Huanggu World under the jurisdiction of the Immutable Land? Or perhaps, was the Huanggu World one of countless worlds controlled by the Immutable Land?
To Wu Yuan, they were all mysteries.
“This Huanggu World is indeed one of the countless test worlds controlled by the Immutable Land. According to the protocols established by the Immutable Land, each Immutable Token holder will be transported to a different test world. The specific world for each individual is determined by the system’s rules.” The black-robed elderly man, the Creation Emissary, seemed able to read Wu Yuan’s thoughts.
“The Creation Divine Hall exists in many worlds, but no matter which world one enters from, they will all arrive here before me.”
Wu Yuan instantly understood.
The so-called Creation Divine Hall was likely similar to the Dao Temple, both ultimate treasures projected from a higher spatial dimension, reflected in numerous worlds.
“The Creation Divine Hall is one of the greatest opportunities in the Immutable Land. It is also the greatest opportunity you have the chance to obtain on this journey with your Immutable Token,” said the black-robed elderly man.
Wu Yuan listened silently.
“The Immutable Land is special. When comprehending Greater Laws here, such as the Law of Life, the influence of Dao Assimilation will be far weaker, at least, in the beginning. As time passes, the effects of its influence will reach the same level as that of the world outside,” the black-robed elderly man explained.
Wu Yuan nodded slightly. Over the past few hundred years, he had felt the influence of Dao Assimilation growing stronger.
“Cultivating in this special environment is your first opportunity. The eldritch race tribe is your second opportunity,” the black-robed elderly man said calmly. “As for this Creation Divine Hall, consider it your third opportunity. It is also the ultimate opportunity.
You should be aware that each Immutable Token holder receives different opportunities,” the black-robed elderly man said.
Wu Yuan nodded.
Some Immutable Token holders seemed to leave the Immutable Land quite quickly, unlike himself who had been trapped for hundreds of years.
“The lower the difficulty, the smaller the opportunity gained; the more challenging the test environment, the greater the opportunities it holds,” the black-robed elderly man said.
“Over endless ages, those like you who can overcome numerous challenges, progress at a terrifyingly fast pace, and reach me swiftly are extremely rare, fewer than one in ten thousand.”
Wu Yuan nodded lightly.
From his words, it sounded like many Immutable Token holders who entered the Immutable Land lacked sufficient strength and talent, and didn’t even qualify to face the test of the Creation Divine Hall?
