Chapter 2809: Insurmountable Obstacles
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“It’s Xu Fang!”
“Xu Fang... is dead?”
“He... He’s one of the strongest among the six Great Overarching Golden Celestials we sent in. How... how can he be dead?”
The faces of the high-ranking officials of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect changed when they saw the Soul Pearl that belonged to Xu Fang, one of the two Great Overarching Golden Celestials they had sent into the Little World, had shattered. Xu Fang was the stronger one among the two they had sent into the Little World.
At this moment, there were only two Soul Pearls left hovering next to Chai Kong Yu, the Sect Leader of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect. He was quite upset by this. After all, the other remaining Soul Pearl belonged to a mere Violet Sun Golden Celestial. In his opinion, even if Feng Wu Ji Guang was still alive, it was only a matter of time before he died. It was likely that Feng Wu Ji Guang was on his last leg. After all, it was so dangerous in the Little World that even one of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect’s Great Overarching Golden Celestials had died. Let alone obtaining treasures, it would be a miracle if Feng Wu Ji Guang, a Violet Sun Golden Celestial, could make it out of the Little World alive.
Although none of the Great Overarching Golden Celestial younger than the age of 100 from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect and Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect had died, they were anxious when they discovered Xu Fang, the Great Overarching Golden Celestial from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect, had died.
“Even a Great Overarching Golden Celestial died in there?”
“Xu Fang is the stronger one among the two Great Overarching Golden Celestials whom the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect had sent in there.”
“Even Xu Fang has died... Doesn’t this mean the other Great Overarching Golden Celestials are in danger as well?”
Many high-ranking officials from the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland were of the opinion that the Little World was a trap.
“This Little World that’s left behind by a Celestial King is dangerous to Great Overarching Golden Celestials... Why would the Celestial King create this Little World then? Is this just a trap?”
“I have similar suspicions as well. A Little World that only allows those younger than 100 to enter but is life-threatening to even Great Overarching Golden Celestials... If it’s not a trap then the Celestial King must have a twisted sense of humor...”
“If we’d known about this, we would’ve just left this Little World alone... Why bother searching high and low in the Wasteland just to find strong powerhouses below the age of 100?”
“That might not be true,” an elder from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect said, “Although a Great Overarching Golden Celestial has died, it’s possible that he had encountered an insurmountable obstacle. If the other Great Overarching Golden Celestials don’t meet an insurmountable obstacle, there’s a high possibility they would survive...”
“Insurmountable obstacles? Some Celestial Kings like to leave insurmountable obstacles in the Little World they created... Apart from strength, luck plays a big part as well.”
“If... If that’s the case, then, there’s a chance the others will survive even though Xu Fang has died...”
Upon hearing the words of the elder from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect, many high-ranking officials of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland felt less anxious, and their eyes shone with hope.
At this moment, Bai Ping, the Sect Leader of Tai Yi Celestial Sect, sent a Voice Transmission to Tie Tai He, the Supreme Elder of Tai Yi Celestial Sect. “Do you know where Miss Huan’er went? I hope Chief Celestial Alchemist Duan will be able to find or contact her when he comes out... Otherwise, how are we going to explain ourselves?”
“Sect leader, maybe Miss Huan’er has gone to Tai Yi City?” Tie Tai He guessed.
“Tai Yi City? That’s possible... I’ll order those people I sent to the sect’s estate to look for her to look in Tai Yi City as well.” Bai Ping did not waste any time and ordered an elder of Tai Yi Celestial Sect to look for Huan’er.
The elder from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect left after receiving his instructions.
Due to the death of a Great Overarching Golden Celestial in the Little World, the high-ranking officials of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland were too anxious to rest, let alone cultivate. Their eyes were focused on the remaining Great Overarching Golden Celestials’ Soul Pearls, wondering if Xu Fang’s death was just an accident or if the Little World truly posed a threat to Great Overarching Golden Celestials.
...
A month passed in just a blink of an eye, the remaining five Soul Pearls were still intact.
Two months passed, and three months passed... the Soul Pearls were still intact...
At this time, most of the high-ranking officials from the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland were no longer as anxious. Now that three months had passed, they seemed more certain that Xu Fang’s death was just an accident.
“It has been three months since Xu Fang’s death, but the remaining Great Overarching Golden Celestials are still alive... It’s likely that Xu Fang was just unlucky and had met an insurmountable obstacle.”
“I agree.”
“If this is true, then, all of us can relax a little.”
After a while, the eyes of the high-ranking officials of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland turned to Feng Wu Ji Guang’s Soul Pearl. They, naturally, began to discuss this among themselves.
“It’s truly a surprise that Feng Wu Ji Guang from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect is still alive... He must be very lucky...”
“As a Violet Sun Golden Celestial, it’s a miracle that he has survived so long in there.”
“It’s possible that there are other Violet Sun Golden Celestials who are just as lucky and are still alive... After all, we don’t have the Soul Pearls of all the Violet Sun Golden Celestials who entered the Little World.”
“I agree.”
Since most of their anxiety had been alleviated, they began to rest and cultivate.
Half a month passed by...
Crack! Crack!
Two crisp cracking noises rang in the air, shocking the high-ranking officials from the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland. All of them immediately turned to look at the Soul Pearls.
“How’s this possible?!” Jian Qiu Luo, the Sect Leader of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect, was filled with shock and disbelief. The Soul Pearls that had shattered were the ones hovering next to her. The two Soul Pearls of the two Great Overarching Golden Celestials younger than the age of 100 from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect had shattered at the same time!
The expressions of the people from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect, including Liu Yan Jun, the supreme elder, darkened immediately.
“Both of them... died?!”
“How’s this possible?!”
“What happened? How did they die?” Zhou Shu Qiu who was standing next to Jian Qiu Luo was shocked and puzzled.
Meanwhile, the people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect and the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect looked at each other worriedly.
“Another two people died... What’s more, this time it’s two Great Overarching Golden Celestials!”
“The Great Overarching Golden Celestials from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect must have been exploring the Little World together.”
“Both of them died at the same time... Is the Little World so dangerous?”
At this moment, they were certain the Little World was extremely dangerous. It seemed like Xu Fang’s death was not as simple as they had thought. With this thought in mind, all of them began to feel worried again. After a while, their attention shifted to Feng Wu Ji Guang’s intact Soul Pearl, they all felt that it was a miracle that he was still alive.
...
In the Little World.
There was a blizzard, and snow covered the ground as far as the eyes could see. The peaks of the mountains in the distance were covered in snow as well. This was a world of ice and snow.
At this moment, two people could be seen hovering in the air above the snow-covered ground.
A purple-clad young man held a fiery-red ring in his hand. His eyes were bright as he cried out, “There’s a response!” The young man was none other than Duan Ling Tian, and the ring in his hand was the Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, the Mystical Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring.
“Brother Ling Tian... You’ve sensed the Mystical Yin Nine Water Chestnut Ring through the Mystical Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring?” As usual, Huan’er was with Duan Ling Tian as though she was his shadow.
Duan Ling Tian replied, “I can feel the Mystical Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring is trying to lead me in a specific direction... It’s probably leading me to the Mystical Yin Nine Water Chestnut that Brother Pei asked me to look for.” He could clearly feel the Mystical Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring trying to fly out of his hand toward the west.
“Let’s go then!” Huan’er said with bright eyes.
“Okay.” Duan Ling Tian nodded as he led Huan’er to the west.
...
Meanwhile, in another place in the Little World.
The sky had not changed since Feng Wu Ji Guang had arrived here.
The sky was painted red all the time as though it was perpetually stuck at the time when the sun was setting. The ground that was littered with black and yellow rocks was red as well.
Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum!
The humming of a blade rang through the air.
A black-clad young man could be seen wielding a blood-red saber...
