"Of course you can use a magic treasure." Whis smiled. "But that's against the rules, so I can't take you there."
"What rules?"
"This magic treasure is called the Seclusion Tower. The Holy Land is a high-dimensional universe, so it will have a fatal attraction to low-dimensional universes. If the black hole that leads to the Holy Land opens up, our universe will be swallowed by the black hole bit by bit. That's why the Seclusion Tower is here," Whis explained with a smile. "The Seclusion Tower is placed at the entrance of the black hole. It's actually the safest passage to the high-dimensional universe.
"I can take you into the Seclusion Tower to the Holy Land, but according to the rules, I'll be violating my duty. The other purpose of the Seclusion Tower is to test the strong in the universe.
"In other words, everyone has to use their own strength to pass through the Seclusion Tower and go to the Holy Land, including the gods." Whis' eyes dimmed as he spoke. The more people who passed through the Seclusion Tower, the more benefits Whis would receive. But until now, no one in the universe had been able to pass through, including the God of Destruction, Beerus.
Sun Wuben frowned. He naturally understood what Whis meant. If you want to go to the Holy Land, I've already told you how to do it. You can go by yourself, but I can't take you there.
"Inside the Seclusion Tower is a part of the Holy Land's Mirror World," Whis said.
Sun Wuben was stunned. "Mirror World? Not a Mirror World? "
"The Mirror World is too powerful. This is just a blurry projection of the Holy Land's Mirror World. The creatures inside are not even a millionth of the Holy Land's power. Sun Wuben, if you really want to go to the Holy Land, go in yourself." Whis smiled.
Sun Wuben had an awkward expression on his face.
"What? You don't dare to go? " Whis laughed. "To tell you the truth, it's impossible for me to take you to the Holy Land because it's too much of a loss for me. I can't afford it. Don't tempt me with food or anything else. It's useless."
"Hmph, I'll go then!" Sun Wuben took a deep breath and walked toward the black magic door. At this point, he couldn't back down no matter what.
Sun Wuben jumped into the Black Jade Door, and a white jade staircase emitting a faint white light appeared in front of him. The staircase led from Sun Wuben's feet all the way to the endless dark void.
Sun Wuben stepped onto the first step. As soon as he stepped onto the first step, he felt his body tighten. When he moved again, there was an additional restrictive force around him. It was as if Sun Wuben had jumped into a pool of sticky glue.
Sun Wuben began to move forward again. One step, two steps, three steps … With every step he took, the power that bound his body increased like a mountain. By the time he reached the sixth step, Sun Wuben felt that he was almost at his limit.
"No!"
Sun Wuben took his seventh step. At this time, he felt that his strength was about to be exhausted.
Three Senzu Beans appeared in Sun Wuben's hand. Sun Wuben chewed one of them, and the power in his body surged. Sun Wuben took another step forward.
Boom!
It was as if the entire world was pressing down on Sun Wuben's body. Sun Wuben felt that his entire mind was about to collapse. He chewed the remaining two Senzu Beans in his mouth and swallowed them at the same time. With this new strength, Sun Wuben barely managed to keep his body from collapsing.
At this time, a figure appeared at the bottom of the staircase. It was Whis, who had just walked in.
"Eh?" Whis saw Sun Wuben standing on the eighth step, and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes. "I thought you could only reach the sixth step. I didn't expect you to be able to stand on the eighth step without collapsing. Not bad."
Sun Wuben's forehead was sweating profusely. He was unwilling to give up.
"Whis said that the Hidden Suppression Tower is a mirror world, but I'm only on the first step. I haven't even reached the mirror world, and I … I can't take it anymore. If this doesn't work, how am I going to enter the Holy Land?" Sun Wuben roared angrily in his heart. "Power, I need power …" Under this angry power, Sun Wuben took another step forward and reached the ninth step. But that was it. The ninth step's power was so great that even if Sun Wuben continued to unleash his anger, he could no longer move forward.
"You're really stubborn!" Whis said in surprise. "Alright, I'll take you to the mirror world." Whis moved and Sun Wuben felt his body lighten. His eyes lit up.
"This is …" Sun Wuben was stunned.
The sun was bright and beautiful, shining down from the sky. This was a hillside full of green grass. It could be seen that the grass was not much different from the grass on Earth. Looking into the distance, one could see rolling mountains and forests all around. These forests were also similar to the forests on Earth.
"This is what the Holy Land looks like?" Sun Wuben asked in surprise.
"This is the mirror world," Whis said with a smile. "Don't be surprised. The higher dimensional world is just a higher form of the lower dimensional world. It's like adding color to a black and white image. What the lower dimensional world has, the higher dimensional world has. What the higher dimensional world has, the lower dimensional world doesn't. Also, your level is limited. Even if this is a colorful world, it's still a black and white world in your eyes."
"That's right. The higher dimensional world just adds more dimensions to the lower dimensional world. I can't see these dimensions with my current ability." Sun Wuben quickly understood.
"After passing through those stairs, you'll reach here. Okay, Sun Wuben, this is all I can do. Next, you have to walk in that direction until you enter the Holy Land." Whis pointed in front of them. "Sun Wuben, I'll wait for you outside. Anyway, you won't be able to pass." Whis smiled and disappeared.
"Go straight there!" Sun Wuben sized up the front. Then, his gaze fell on the ground in front of him. There was a black dot the size of a soybean in the grass. It was the corpse of a beetle.
"An insignificant bug from a higher dimensional world can take the life of a powerhouse from a lower dimensional world. I have to be careful. I can't die on a bug." Sun Wuben walked over the corpse of the beetle. With every step, he observed the surroundings, even the creatures on the ground. After all, he remembered a novel where a powerhouse from a lower dimensional world died because he stepped on the corpse of a bug from a higher dimensional world that had died hundreds of millions of years ago.
Time passed. Under Sun Wuben's careful walking, nothing happened.
"I'm at the top of the mountain. The view is wide, but it's easy to be discovered by birds of prey in the sky. I have to be more careful." Sun Wuben had already climbed to the top of a mountain. Suddenly, his heart tightened. A strong sense of danger appeared inexplicably. Sun Wuben couldn't help but feel goosebumps on his back.
Sun Wuben stopped moving forward. He felt that if he moved, he would trigger a life and death crisis.
"Damn it. What's going on?"
Sun Wuben suppressed the fear in his heart and carefully observed the surroundings. However, there were no beasts around. There was no movement on the ground either. There wasn't even a bug corpse.
"Rumble …" A faint sound could be heard.
"This sound is …" Sun Wuben's body suddenly trembled. "It's thunder." He slowly raised his head to look at the sky. The originally cloudless sky had a trace of cloud. However, the cloud was extremely faint, just a trace.
"Is there a ferocious bird of prey hidden in the clouds?" Sun Wuben slowly squatted down and lowered his body. Gradually, he hid his body in the shadow of the rock beside him. However, he was stunned again. "No, this thunder is coming from the valley below the mountain. Could it be …" Sun Wuben slowly moved his body forward. When Sun Wuben's head crossed the mountaintop —
"Rumble …"
The sound became louder and louder. Sun Wuben looked in the direction of the sound. After a moment, his eyes fell on a place. His pupils shrank and the warning in his heart became more intense.
Under a rock, there was a lump of black thing that was expanding and shrinking. This thing was only the size of a hat. It was a … cat.
Although it was not exactly the same as all the cats that Sun Wuben had seen before, if he had to give it a species, it would be the most appropriate to include it as a feline. At this time, the cat was curled up and sleeping. Its stomach was rising and falling, and the rumbling sound of thunder was coming from its body.
"Could it be that this cat, and a sleeping cat at that, is making me feel like my life is in danger?" Sun Wuben's face was ugly. Although he wasn't sure, Sun Wuben didn't dare to ignore the creatures of the high-level world, let alone a cat.
One must know that the reason why Sun Wuben was safe and sound on his way here was because other than some docile insects, there were no other creatures that were slightly larger.
"No matter what, I have to pass through the Holy Land alive." Sun Wuben thought for a moment and was about to withdraw his head and make a detour.
"Rumble …" The sound of thunder was getting louder and louder. It was as if it was lingering in Sun Wuben's ears.
"Damn cat. It's only the size of a palm. How can it make such thunder when it's sleeping …" Sun Wuben muttered in his heart. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration.
"Thunder?"
"Thunder?"
"Right, Tiger Leopard Thunder. Isn't this cat Tiger Leopard Thunder now?"
As if a bolt of lightning had split open the heavy fog, Sun Wuben's eyes shone with bright surprise.
"When I cultivated the Tiger Leopard Thunderous Roar, apart from making some progress at the beginning, my progress decreased as I progressed. In the first two years, I even stopped making progress. Could it be because my life level has increased, and the tigers and leopards that I imitated were too weak?" Sun Wuben had never felt as if he had touched the key between Tiger Leopard Thunder and Tiger Leopard Thunder.
"That's right. When I broke through the realm gate, it was a sublimation of life. After that, I broke through again and again. My combat power is at 100,000. I can destroy the sky and the earth with one punch. In the eyes of others, I'm an existence that can penetrate the heavens and the earth. At this time, I'm still learning from beasts that don't even have a combat power of 10.
"And here …"
Sun Wuben looked at the little black cat.
"This black cat, although it looks weak, it can make me feel like I'm in a life and death crisis …"
Sun Wuben remembered that Whis had said that the creatures in the Mirror World were the shadows of the creatures in the Holy Land. Their strength was not even one millionth of the real body. Even so, this seemingly small black cat was able to make Sun Wuben feel a strong sense of danger even though he was far away. And this was when it was sleeping soundly.
"Its life level must be far above mine."
Sun Wuben's heart palpitated.
"This is a higher dimensional world. It's a powerful life form that is far above me. Furthermore, when it sleeps like this, the sound of its snoring is actually like the sound of thunder in summer. Tigers and leopards have the sound of thunder, but regardless of whether it's a tiger or leopard, they are essentially feline animals. Therefore, cats also have the sound of thunder."
"And this cat's Thunder is millions of times stronger than the tigers and leopards I've seen."
The tigers and leopards that Sun Wuben imitated in the past also had Thunder, but that kind of sound could only be heard when you listened closely. If Sun Wuben did not know that there was such a thing as Tiger Leopard Thunder in the Internal Martial Arts in his previous life, he would not have thought that the sound made by the joints of tigers and leopards when they were sleeping was thunder.
But the cat in front of him, although it was not big, the sound it made was real thunder. It was like the thunder in the summer sky rolling in his ears.
