In the endless void of space where Nine Serenity Palace was located, it was completely silent. Four figures were floating near the Nine Serenity Prison Tablet. At first glance, they all seemed to be resting and cultivating with their eyes closed.
Among them, Long Yu was trying to control the Nine Serenity World Mark in his Dantian. As he constantly used the power of the Nine Serenity Divine Script to envelop the Nine Serenity Mark, the Nine Serenity Mark began to emit the aura of the Jiuyou Dragon Emperor.
It was this aura that, once accumulated to a certain degree, would be able to control the entire Shen Wu world.
Of course, it was still very difficult for Long Yu to fully control the Nine Serenity Mark and would require a lot of time. For the time being, he only needed to try and open the passage to the outside world from Nine Serenity Palace as soon as possible.
As the four of them cultivated in the void, a month quickly passed!
During this time, no one knew what Shen Wu world had become. However, the Red Emperor was defeated by Zhan Kuang Ge and became one of the new Five Emperors. The Battle Emperor, coupled with the absence of Lei Emperor and Flame Emperor, could the Demon Emperor and Saint Emperor stop the growth of the Battle Emperor's forces?
In theory, this shouldn't be a problem, but the problem was that once the Red Emperor steps down, many of the forces that the Red Emperor had offended would undoubtedly ally with the Battle Emperor, making the situation quite troublesome.
A month's time was enough for the Battle Emperor to do a lot of things. However, Long Yu wasn't worried about the Red Emperor, because Lei Emperor and Flame Emperor had said that anyone who became one of the Five Emperors would be taken away by the forces from beyond the heavens after stepping down and be taken to rest.
This was one of the ways to leave Shen Wu world. Of course, there was another more direct way, which was to show off one's talent in martial arts while exploring the Shen Wu world's core, attracting the attention of the forces from beyond the heavens and taking them away.
The Shen Wu Realm's core was one of the seven forbidden areas that the strongest King realm cultivators and the top ten Emperor realm cultivators were qualified to enter. In one month's time, a total of 11 of the strongest geniuses from the Shen Wu world would head there together to compete with the geniuses from beyond the heavens. If they performed well, they would be selected to join the forces from beyond the heavens.
The Realm Nucleus of the Divine Martial Arts opened once every seven years. Therefore, the competition between the strongest King Realm and the strongest Martial Emperor Realm was also held once every seven years. The ultimate purpose of this competition was to help those forces from beyond the heavens select talents.
Although the forces of Beyond the Sky are above Shen Wu world, there are still quite a few decent martial arts geniuses that appear in Shen Wu world. Since they're selected every 7 years, it's very rare for them to be missed.
There was less than a month left before the opening of the Realm Nucleus of Divine Martial Arts!
At this moment, Long Yu had finally activated a small portion of the Ninth Hell Mark, around 1% of it. According to this speed, it would take an entire seven or eight years for Long Yu to completely grasp the Ninth Hell Mark.
At that time, he would have complete control over the entire Shen Wu world!
As long as he had seven or eight years, Shen Wu world would be his. This was something that not even the Lei Emperor or the Flame Emperor knew, only Long Yu knew. And once he fully grasps the Ninth Hell Mark, Long Yu would be able to enter the Nine Serenities Black Palace at any time and study the giant stone tablet — — the Ninth Hell Tablet.
The reason why the Jiuyou Dragon Emperor was able to rise to power was because he had the Ninth Hell Tablet, but he still hadn't fully grasped the power of the Ninth Hell Tablet.
If Long Yu could fully grasp the power of the Ninth Hell Tablet, then his strength would definitely surpass the Jiuyou Dragon Emperor at his peak!
Of course, it would be very difficult to achieve this, but Long Yu had plenty of time. After all, there was no one that could threaten him right now.
Even though the forces from beyond the heavens were powerful, they wouldn't be able to find Long Yu in such a short period of time. Even the Ruler Secret Realm experts wouldn't be able to predict what would happen in the Nine Serenities Black Palace. Otherwise, the Cymbal Clan would definitely come looking for Long Yu very quickly …
When there was only one month left before the opening of the Realm Nucleus of Divine Martial Arts, Long Yu activated 1% of the Ninth Hell Mark and finally had a feeling.
As long as he relied on the aura of the Ninth Hell Mark, he would be able to safely pass through the boundless sea of qi surrounding the Nine Serenities Black Palace!
That boundless sea of Nine Nether Divine Writing was the greatest barrier that obstructed everyone from entering and leaving the Nine Nether Profound Palace. Even if a Seven Star Monarch were to barge into it, only death would await them. However, Long Yu had the Nine Nether Mark within his body, and he was very clear that he was already able to safely pass through that sea of Nine Nether Divine Writing barrier.
What was outside the sea of qi barrier with the Nine Serenities Black Palace?
Long Yu was very curious about this. Even the Lei Emperor, Flame Emperor, and the others didn't know the answer to this question. But very soon, Long Yu would be able to completely reveal it!
Even though he only controlled 1% of the Ninth Hell Mark, Long Yu already had the ability to control some of the basic powers of the Shen Wu world.
Right now, Long Yu's martial realm hadn't changed, he was still at the late stage of the Emperor Realm. But all of his fighting techniques could be infused with a trace of the Jiuyou Dragon Emperor's aura. As long as he was in the Shen Wu world, his strength would increase by at least 10%!
1% of the Ninth Hell Mark's aura could increase Long Yu's strength by 10%. If Long Yu could comprehend 1% of the Ninth Hell Mark's aura, his strength would definitely increase by several times. Of course, this was only limited to when Long Yu was in the Shen Wu world. If he went to outer space, this increase would be ineffective.
"If I bring Xi Yangwu, Lei Emperor, and Flame Emperor with me, there shouldn't be any problems."
As Long Yu thought to himself, he told the three of them his idea. Of course, he wouldn't tell them that he had grasped 1% of the Divine Battle World Imprint, but that he had found a path to the outside world through Dragon Emperor Jiuyou's aura.
He couldn't open a spatial path to directly leave this place, but he could pass through the sea of Qi with the Nine Hell Divine Characters around the Nine Hell Palace and leave this space!
Of course, Lei Emperor and Flame Emperor were very happy about this. Originally, they thought that they would be trapped in this space for a few years before dying, but now it seems that there was still hope.
As for Xi Yangwu, needless to say, she completely supported and believed in Long Yu unconditionally. Although the Death Envoy's death was a huge blow to Xi Yangwu, Long Yu had returned in the end, making Xi Yangwu's mood slightly better.
Under Long Yu's lead, the four of them continuously flew towards the outskirts of the Nine Hell Palace. About three days later, the four of them arrived at the edge of the sea of Qi with the Nine Hell Divine Characters. Anyone who entered this sea of Qi would definitely die, but Long Yu said that he had found a safe path!
In truth, Long Yu was using the aura of the Nine Hell Mark to protect the four of them, so they wouldn't be corroded by the sea of Qi with the Nine Hell Divine Characters. Very quickly, the four of them safely flew into the sea of Qi with the Nine Hell Divine Characters. Lei Emperor and Flame Emperor were completely convinced. This Long Yu really could come up with a solution, how amazing!
No one knew how vast this sea of Qi with the Nine Hell Mark was, but Long Yu could roughly feel it. He wasn't using [Balanced Control] or [Eye of Shadow] to sense it, but rather through the Nine Hell Mark.
The Nine Hell Mark was equivalent to the core of the entire Shen Wu world. As long as he could grasp the Nine Hell Mark, even if it was only 1%, it would allow Long Yu to form a significant connection with the entire Shen Wu world.
If he could fully grasp the Nine Hell Mark, Long Yu would be able to clearly sense everything that was happening in the entire Shen Wu world. Of course, it would still take a long time to reach that level.
The four of them continued to move forward in the sea of Qi with the Nine Hell Divine Characters, feeling the eerie and eerie aura around them, all of them had a different feeling.
What would be after passing through this sea of Qi?
No one knew!
Even Long Yu could only vaguely sense that what awaited them outside of this energy sea was a vast expanse of void. It was like the wreckage of a small world left behind by the sufferers. Most of the space within it was empty.
Of course, because the remains of the Suffering Victims' small worlds were already in ruins, there was nothing in the void of space. But perhaps there was some sort of spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth in the void of Shen Wu world …
Seven days later!
The four figures traversed through the Qi Sea of the Divine Netherworld characters, and finally arrived at the end of this Qi Sea. As far as the eye could see, the entire space was pitch black, but this space was filled with a high concentration of World Energy. This was much better than the situation in the Nine Serenity Profound Palace, at least no matter how long they drifted here, they wouldn't die.
However, the same thing as the Nine Hell Profound Palace was that there was no one else here. Wanting to return to the continent of Shen Wu world would still be very difficult.
Especially since there was still half a month before the Shen Wu Realm's core would open, Long Yu and Xi Yangwu wouldn't be able to make it in time.
Of course, Long Yu didn't really care about this.
Originally, he was looking forward to exploring the Shen Wu Realm's core because there was a chance to meet geniuses from beyond the heavens. But now that he had already come into contact with the powerhouses from beyond the heavens in the Nine Hell Profound Palace, he had already lost some of his curiosity.
Furthermore, he now had the Nine Hell Mark. As long as he fully grasped the Nine Hell Mark, he would be able to control the entire Shen Wu world … A mere Shen Wu Realm's core, one of the seven forbidden grounds of Shen Wu world, wasn't that attractive to Long Yu.
Even if he couldn't make it in time, Long Yu wouldn't have too many regrets. He was just worried that if he didn't return for a long time, something might happen in Shen Wu world. For example, the Heavenly Mandate Manor, the North Snow Empire, and so on might be targeted by the new War Emperor.
"In this half a month, I've comprehended a bit more about the Nine Hell Mark. Although it hasn't reached 2%, my control over it has increased quite a bit, at least 1.5% …"
Long Yu sensed the Nine Hell Mark in his Dantian. After leaving the Nine Hell Profound Palace, he wanted to find the way back to the continent of Shen Wu world.
