Even these Saint-leveled experts died the same way as the low-level soldiers and commoners. They were easily killed, as if their life and death depended on the enemy's thoughts. There were no signs of resistance.
Even Saint-leveled experts could not withstand a single blow. This enemy was simply unimaginably powerful … Could it be the Holy Saint Teacher?
A trace of doubt flashed in Wang Zhong's heart, but he quickly dispelled it.
Of course, the Holy Saint Teacher had the ability to do this, but there was no reason for it. Furthermore, regardless of whether it was in human records or his encounter with the Holy Saint Teacher in the river of time, Wang Zhong felt that the Holy Saint Teacher was not someone who liked to kill wantonly unless they were a threat to him. There was no need to say whether he was merciful or not. It was just a type of attitude and personality. If the Holy Saint Teacher had attacked here, he would not have harmed all the commoners in the castle.
Other than the Holy Saint Teacher, he quickly thought of the charred wing imprint that he had seen when he entered this fragment world … Could it be that thing?
What the two of them desired the most was to find the owner of this place, regardless of whether it was his remains or something else. Even if it was just a relic, it would definitely help the two of them understand this world. However, in this massive castle, there were only bones and more bones. It was impossible to distinguish whether the owner of this place was among the piles of bones. However, this allowed Wang Zhong to find a clue that seemed to be related to the charred wing imprint.
It was on the tallest castle in the castle. This castle, which should have been dozens of meters tall, only had half of it left. It was as if someone had used a terrifying technique to split it in half, causing the left half of the castle to disappear and evaporate. Meanwhile, the right half of the castle was undamaged. However, one could faintly see a charred mark on the cut surface of the castle. There was a terrifying pressure and a unique aura, as well as a strong sense of corrosion. It was exactly the same as the aura of the charred wing that Wang Zhong had sensed in the illusion when he entered this fragment world.
But other than this, they did not find anything. However, they were not discouraged. If there was nothing in the castle, they would expand the scope of their search and search the entire world. In any case, Wang Zhong's space crystal contained enough food and water. Furthermore, Grai, who had broken through to the Semi-Heavenly Soul Stage, felt that he could barely withstand the Soul Power absorption from this world. This was the greatest foundation for the two of them to fight a prolonged battle.
The two of them first returned to the lake where they had first entered this world. Just as they had guessed, they did not sense the existence of any passageways or nodes there. Then, the two of them headed west and saw the end of this world. There was an invisible barrier that separated the entire world. On the other side of the barrier was a vast expanse of white fog. Even though they were separated by a powerful world barrier, Wang Zhong and Grai could sense that the vast expanse of white contained an absolute danger.
Following the edge of the barrier, the two of them went in a big circle. They felt that this world was not too big, about 50 kilometers or so. The barrier at the edge was solid and thick, and there were no cracks to speak of. Therefore, they turned around and searched the entire world inch by inch.
After a full five days, they did not find the spatial node or crack passageway that they had hoped for. However, as they continued to communicate and explore, they deduced a possibility that made them feel even more despair.
There were no nodes or exits. This space was completely sealed and independent, and they could not sense anything that could be the core of the dimensional secret realm …
This was not a dimensional secret realm at all, but a fragment world that had once had a powerful master! When Wang Zhong and Grai entered this place, they had faintly sensed this, but they did not dare to confirm it. This was because this space was relatively small for a dimensional secret realm, but for a fragment world, it was simply unimaginably vast.
Regardless of whether it was Wang Zhong or Grai, they had some understanding of fragment worlds.
A fragment world that was dozens of kilometers wide. What kind of concept was that? In the past, Wang Zhong might not have understood, but ever since he knew that Uncle Zhang was Sacred Teacher Leyson and that the lake that he often fished with Uncle Zhang was Uncle Zhang's fragment world, he understood. For example, this super expert who was famous for his combat power among Sacred Teachers, the lake fragment world that he possessed was only two kilometers wide!
One should not think that it was small. It was already rather impressive for many Heavenly Soul Great Teachers to have a fragment world that was rich in spiritual influence and balanced rules. The bigger the fragment world, the better it was. An unimaginably large amount of energy was needed to maintain it.
Weakness limited one's imagination. Such a massive fragment world that was rich in spiritual influence and had a comprehensive terrain could instantly kill Uncle Zhang. What kind of expert would be able to bear such a terrifying consumption of energy? This was simply unimaginable! It was no wonder that they had all sorts of doubts in their hearts. However, the two of them only completely confirmed this after five days.
A fragment world that had no master and was on the verge of destruction. This was truly a little dumbfounded.
After all, they had too little understanding of fragment worlds. Although they had seen similar descriptions in books and knew that as long as they subdued the will of the fragment world, they would be able to completely control this world, the problem was, what exactly was the will of a fragment world?
In some books related to the Holy Land, the term World Will often appeared, but they had never seen anyone explain it in detail. Perhaps it was because Wang Zhong and Grai did not have enough knowledge in the Holy Land, or perhaps it was because this thing was too profound and could not be described with words.
The two of them thought back to when they had entered the Mizobudapi World and Sacred Teacher Leyson had blasted open a channel. In reality, it was a kind of confrontation with the World Will. However, even though they had been there at that time, the World Will was invisible and intangible. It could not be seen or touched, as if it only existed in the rules. Furthermore, this world had already been shattered to this extent, and the rules were completely chaotic. The so-called World Will probably no longer existed. It was easier said than done to find and subdue it.
"We can't sense the World Will of the fragment world. This is probably because our power and divine sense at the Heroic Soul level are too weak, and the rules of this world are extremely chaotic."
After all, only Heavenly Soul Great Teachers could come into contact with a fragment world. The essence of a Heavenly Soul was the unity of heaven and man. They could get close to nature and even use the power of the heaven and the earth. This level of difference was not something that a Heroic Soul could overcome with their combat power.
"Let's think of a way to cultivate first." Wang Zhong made a decision. "If we can advance to the Heavenly Soul Stage and strengthen our perception of the heaven and the earth, we might be able to sense the so-called World Will from the chaotic rules. Even if we can't, or if the World Will has already disappeared, we can try to forcefully open a channel through the world barrier. "
The strength of a Heavenly Soul was that they could borrow the power of the heaven and the earth. How much they could borrow depended purely on how much energy one's body could withstand.
One of them had divine cells, while the other had the mysterious and unfathomable bloodline of the Blood Ancestor. Both of them had limitless potential. Furthermore, even though the rules of this world were chaotic and the spiritual influence was violent, no matter how violent or chaotic it was, it was an indisputable fact that there was an abundance of spiritual influence here. Furthermore, since the entire fragment world was on the verge of destruction, the surrounding barrier would definitely be in a weak state. It would not be as powerful and sturdy as before. Thus, if they could advance to the Heavenly Soul Stage and gather the spiritual influence of the heaven and the earth here on a large scale, there was indeed a possibility of breaking through the world barrier. At the very least, they could give it a try. At the very least, this was a train of thought and a method.
Of course, this was a last resort method. This kind of fragment world was directly grabbed and refined by almighty beings in the void. Thus, unless there was a stable channel to enter and exit, even if there was a 1% chance that they could break through the barrier from the inside and exit, they would definitely end up in a boundless void. To Heavenly Souls, the void was still an existence worthy of respect.
It was still too early to talk about this. Breaking through to the Heavenly Soul Stage sounded simple, but countless geniuses had been stuck at this stage and were unable to break through in their entire lives. No matter how powerful Wang Zhong and Grai's natural endowments were, could they break through just because they wanted to?
Furthermore, if they wanted to break through to the Heavenly Soul Stage, they had to accumulate power. The two of them did not lack this, but more importantly, they often needed various opportunities and comprehension.
This kind of comprehension usually came from the heaven and the earth. They had to sense the natural rules of the heaven and the earth. On a smaller scale, they would comprehend the five elements, such as metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. On a larger scale, they would comprehend the rules, such as time and space, order, destruction, light, and so on. From observation to learning to understanding, they had to comprehend in an orderly manner.
However, in this fragment world, the rules were chaotic and were on the verge of destruction. Lightning flashed and thunder roared, and clear skies coexisted. Gravity appeared and disappeared at times, and it was chaotic and disorderly. Even the most familiar basic natural rules were in a completely strange state here. How could they comprehend them?
Luckily, Wang Zhong had some useful information.
The two of them returned to the castle under Wang Zhong's suggestion. Then, Wang Zhong took out a divine sword from the Mizobudapi people and handed it to Grai. This was left behind by the Sword Saint during the battle at the phoenix remains. He already had the Nebula Sword, so he could give this to Grai.
"This is an opportunity," said Wang Zhong. "These swords of the Mizobudapi people are very special. Furthermore, their users are all at least at the Heavenly Soul Stage. I think that there should be some clues."
Wang Zhong had seen the sword embryo space that nurtured divine swords in the phoenix remains and knew that these divine swords were not made by ordinary people. Furthermore, it seemed like many Octopus people Sword Saints had advanced to the Saint level through comprehension of the sword. Although this was different from humans comprehending the heaven and the earth, the essence was the same. Of course, more importantly, the two of them had no choice. The rules of the heaven and the earth here were too chaotic. Only the divine swords in their hands had permanent and stable rules. Only then could they comprehend them.
In reality, the difference between a Semi-Heavenly Soul and a Heavenly Soul was as thin as a window paper.
"Okay." Grai was very straightforward. His trust in Wang Zhong was beyond imagination. Furthermore, in terms of courage, Grai was definitely the most courageous. He was not afraid of life and death, nor was he afraid of hardships. He was not even afraid of himself.
With the infusion of Wang Zhong's divine blood, Grai's bloodline had mutated. Not only was his physical body extremely complete, he even felt that he could faintly pry into the Heavenly Path. Thus, he could comprehend anything. He just needed to find an opportunity to break through.
"There is no lack of peace here. Let's each find a place so that we don't disturb each other."
This was different from ordinary cultivation. It was taboo to listen to the words of others when comprehending the rules. This was because everyone had a different understanding of the same rule. Once they listened to the opinions of others, it was easy for them to go astray. Even teachers who were one realm higher than them could usually only point them in a direction and let them experience it on their own. They would not tell them in detail what the rules were.
Wang Zhong distributed the food that he had brought. Fortunately, he had listened to Feng's arrangements and had made sufficient preparations before coming here. The food and water that filled the entire space crystal was enough for the two of them to last for a year. If they were frugal, it would not be a problem for them to last for two years.
"Good luck!"
Before they separated, the two of them told each other to take care of themselves. One or two years was not short, but it was definitely not long either. They had to break through to the Heavenly Soul Stage before then!
… …
Wang Zhong had disappeared again.
This team leader of the Wanderlust Team gave off a different vibe compared to the leaders of other well-known exploration teams. In terms of disappearances, this was the first time at the Black Rock Mine, the second time at the Shadow Moon Fortress, and the third time now.
As the leader of an exploration team, how could he disappear every other day? If this had happened two or three months ago, there would definitely be a lot of gossip in the Exploration Team Department, but it was different this time …
"Have you heard? Leader Wang Zhong has disappeared again! "Someone in the Exploration Team Department was spreading rumors." I heard that he has gone to the frontlines! "
"Is that strange? Is it a surprise? Is this considered news? " Most people who heard this rolled their eyes. "I think the Octopus people should be worried about this!"
"That's right. Every time Leader Wang disappears, the Octopus people are unlucky!"
"I reckon that the previous generations of the Octopus people have a grudge against Lao Wang …"
With just a few sentences, the topic had changed. "Speaking of which, the Wanderlust Team seems to be very aggressive recently. I heard that there is a newcomer from the Federation called Mo Wen. A few days ago, when he was on a mission with the Wanderlust Team, he fought with a Sword Saint and managed to escape unscathed."
"Nonsense. Where did so many impressive newcomers come from … Wait, his surname is Mo. Could it be the Mo Family that is known as one of the Three Great Ancient Families? The one with the prophet? "
"Exactly! He has both strength and background. "Spittle flew everywhere as he spoke, and his eyebrows danced with joy. The Wanderlust Team now had a group of fans in the Exploration Team Department." Furthermore, God Mu Zi, who was already very powerful, as well as Hyde and a group of dimensional human elites. Their mission completion rate is very high, and the benefits of the exploration team are surprisingly good. I even want to quit my small exploration team and go and sign up … "
"Forget it. Do you still think that the current Wanderlust Team is the same as before? They have set up a recruitment system and are very strict in selecting people. You have already missed the golden time to join the team. "
"Don't be so jealous. They are just an exploration team that has just risen up. They have not accumulated many resources and do not have the support of a mature Holy Land. Even if they become rich overnight, how good can their benefits be?" Someone was also disdainful. "Even if they have some spare money, they will definitely invest it in the development of the exploration team."
