Chen Zong had been staying in his pavilion all this time, so he was not aware of what was happening in the outside world.
Little did he know that the outside world was about to change.
The fierce battle between the Thunderflame Ancient Beast and the Giant Rock Dragon Tortoise ended with the Thunderflame Ancient Beast escaping with injuries. However, the Giant Rock Dragon Tortoise did not return to the Myriad Origin Island. Instead, it left.
The powerhouses on the Myriad Origin Island heaved a sigh of relief. They were worried that the Giant Rock Dragon Tortoise would return. If it was hungry, it might devour everyone on the Myriad Origin Island.
Fortunately, it left.
However, the shockwaves from the battle between the Thunder Flame Ancient Beast and the Giant Rock Dragon Tortoise were astonishing. Although they managed to fend off the shockwaves, there were still some Fourth Tier and Fifth Tier cultivators who died. There were even more who were injured. In fact, even the four Monarch level cultivators were slightly injured.
Fortunately, the crisis was averted. In the future, they would not have to worry about the Giant Rock Dragon Tortoise, a cosmic beast, sleeping here.
However, the powerhouses also thought of one thing. The Giant Rock Dragon Tortoise had been sleeping here for countless years and absorbed a lot of cosmic dust. Eventually, it turned into a huge island, and after countless years, the island continued to expand until it became the Myriad Origin Island today.
Would there be any treasures left in the place where the Giant Rock Dragon Tortoise slept?
After all, the Giant Rock Dragon Tortoise was equivalent to a top Martial Saint.
Due to this, the three Emperor-level forces and the Rogue Cultivator Alliance led the other Emperor-level and King-level forces to explore the Myriad Origin Island from the place where the Giant Rock Dragon Tortoise had left.
It was a huge and deep cave that led directly to the innermost center of the Myriad Origin Island.
"It's here."
When all the powerhouses arrived at the center, they found a huge cave. The Giant Rock Dragon Tortoise's body was tens of millions of meters long. If the cave could completely contain it, it would only be bigger.
It was hard to say if there were any treasures left in such a huge cave. The powerhouses started to search.
Sure enough, they found some top ores not long after.
It should be noted that the Rock Dragon Turtle was at the top of the Saint level, and its own power was actually born with the power of the Great Path. This power naturally spread out and absorbed the cosmic dust. The cosmic dust that was directly attached to its body would be affected by the Rock Dragon Turtle for countless years and turn into treasures.
Moreover, the Rock Dragon Turtle was an earth-type cosmic beast. The rocks around its body were also earth-type treasures. Not only were they useful to level-five monarchs, but they were also useful to level-six emperors.
However, it wasn't enough for an Emperor-level powerhouse.
But no matter what, it was still a rare treasure.
The various forces had arranged for their experts to come in and mine for as much as they could.
In order to avoid unnecessary battles, the mining area was divided according to the strength of the forces. Of course, some conflicts were unavoidable, but as long as they didn't escalate, they wouldn't be bothered.
On this day, all the major powers and the Rogue Cultivator Alliance were mining the earth attribute ores here. As usual, there were conflicts because of mining.
When there were conflicts, there would naturally be battles.
However, the rocks here were very hard. Level-Five monarchs couldn't cause too much damage, unless they were level-six emperors. However, level-six emperors didn't participate in the mining. Instead, they stood guard and maintained order. The ones who were mining were the level-five emperors.
There was a cracking sound. The sound was subtle, but it was also very ear-piercing. It immediately alarmed many people.
A crack appeared on one of the cave walls, and a dim light suddenly spread out. It exuded an indescribable heaviness, like a mountain or the earth.
When the aura appeared, it immediately alarmed everyone. The group of emperors in charge of maintaining order flashed and appeared in front of the crack.
This crack was about three meters long and only as wide as a palm. The aura it exuded was very shocking.
"What is this?" An emperor-level powerhouse frowned. As he stared, he muttered to himself as he tried to see through the mystery.
One had to know that this was the habitat of the Giant Rock Dragon Turtle for countless years. It was definitely not ordinary.
Cosmic Beasts at the ten-million-meter level were basically mature Cosmic Beasts. Cosmic Beasts at this level had the power of a saint.
It could be said that even a young Cosmic Beast had the power of an emperor-level. Ordinary emperor-level powerhouses couldn't do anything to them.
Adult Cosmic Beasts were at the emperor-level. Mature Cosmic Beasts were at the saint-level.
The apex of Cosmic Beasts was the saint-level. Of course, the most tyrannical Cosmic Beasts, even some top saint-level powerhouses, couldn't do anything to them. They were very tyrannical.
Fortunately, Cosmic Beasts weren't interested in Tiny Tot and often wouldn't take the initiative to attack. Otherwise, who knew how many disasters it would cause.
The Rock Dragon Turtle was one of the top cosmic beasts. It was equivalent to a top saint level super being. Everything left behind in its habitat was extraordinary.
However, the emperor-level powerhouses still couldn't make an accurate judgment. They could only report it. Who should they report it to?
Of course, it was those emperor-level powerhouses.
Soon, four figures directly entered the center of Wanyuan Island at an astonishing speed. They arrived here and appeared in front of the crack.
However, the crack now wasn't more than three meters long and one palm wide like before. Instead, it was more than five meters long and three palms wide, like a crack in a door.
The aura it emitted was also more and more intense.
Moreover, the crack continued to expand.
The four emperor-level powerhouses were not only powerful, but also experienced and knowledgeable. They immediately began to study it.
All kinds of methods and tests combined with the accumulation of their knowledge. Finally, they came to a conclusion.
A small world!
Behind this crack was most likely a small world.
Moreover, this small world was very likely to belong to the Giant Rock Dragon Turtle's associated small world.
After all, the Rock Dragon Tortoise had been sleeping here for countless years. Due to its own characteristics, it was normal for a small world to appear. Such examples were not rare in the universe since ancient times. Of course, the universe was so vast that there were not many of them even if you added them all up.
Since it was the Giant Rock Dragon Turtle's associated small world, there must be a lot of treasures in it. Presumably, they should be earth-related treasures and so on.
Now, they had to conduct a new round of tests to see how to enter.
The group of powerhouses, especially the four emperor-level powerhouses, had experienced many things. They were not rookies who were helpless. On the contrary, they all had a set of corresponding mature and complete methods to conduct tests. They didn't have to use people to test it like they did a long, long time ago, because there would be casualties easily.
In the end, the tests were completed. The four emperor-level powerhouses also came to a conclusion.
This small world was not very strong. It should not have been born for too long.
Therefore, its strength was very limited. The upper limit of its capacity would not exceed the Third Realm.
In other words, only those below the Fourth Realm could enter this small world. If those above the Fourth Realm entered, this small world would not be able to withstand it and would collapse, disintegrate, and collapse.
The direct impact of the collapse of a small world was extremely shocking. The entire Wanyuan Island would be affected. Moreover, this small world obviously existed in the center of Wanyuan Island. Of course, this small world existed in the universe and did not belong to the same dimension as Wanyuan Island.
It was very magical. However, if it collapsed, the aftermath of the power would be enough to cause serious damage to Wanyuan Island.
Therefore, no matter what, this small world could not collapse. Otherwise, Wanyuan Island would probably collapse because of it, and there would be many casualties.
In this way, this small world must be protected. Otherwise, if someone with evil intentions wanted to harm Wanyuan Island, they could directly destroy this small world.
Immediately, the four Martial Emperors began to take action. They gathered everyone present and ordered everyone to swear an oath to the Heavenly Law to keep the secret of this place a secret. Otherwise, their souls would scatter and their Dao would vanish.
Then, they gathered formation grandmasters and began to set up layers of formations and seals around the small world to firmly protect it.
In this way, even Sixth Realm emperor-level powerhouses would not be able to enter. Even Seventh Realm emperor-level powerhouses would not be able to break in so easily. Once they touched it, the four emperor-level powerhouses of Wanyuan Island would know and rush over as fast as they could.
"Since this small world is the Giant Rock Dragon Turtle's companion world, let's name it Giant Rock Small World," suggested one of the emperor-level powerhouses.
After all, it was a small world. Giving it a name was only natural.
With the agreement of the other three emperor-level powerhouses, the name Giant Rock Small World was shortened to Giant Rock Small World.
Then, they naturally arranged for people to enter Giant Rock Small World to explore.
Fourth Realm, Fifth Realm, Sixth Realm, and Seventh Realm powerhouses could not enter. Third Realm powerhouses were the most suitable. However, it was hard to say whether there were dangers in Giant Rock Small World.
No one knew what the situation inside was like.
Even the emperor-level powerhouses could not do anything about this. They could only send some Third Realm powerhouses in.
Soon, the various factions sent some ordinary Third Realm powerhouses. Basically, they were Third Realm powerhouses with relatively mediocre talent and strength as the vanguard to enter. Of course, they were not sent in to die. They were given some life-saving means. Also, they would be rewarded if they returned successfully from the exploration.
These people were naturally very happy to do so.
Wealth came from danger.
As disciples of Sect forces or itinerant cultivators, they needed resources to improve their cultivation. However, resources did not come out of nowhere. They had to put in the effort.
Exploring this small world now was, of course, the same as carrying out a Sect mission. They would be rewarded. As for the danger, it was definitely there.
However, all cultivators knew one thing — danger was everywhere. If one wanted to improve and become stronger, they would definitely face danger. It was unavoidable.
Therefore, the first wave of Third Realm powerhouses was organized. There were exactly 1,000 of them. They entered Giant Rock Small World through the stabilized crack that had expanded to 10 meters long and about one meter wide.
