Chapter 1093: The Wuji Universe
The War of All Races!
From the memories in Xi Ban, a disciple of the Xuanhuang Holy Lord, Huang Long confirmed what he had said was true—before the War of All Races, the Xuanhuang Holy Lord used the sacred blood of the Hongmeng Holy King as an offering!
Using the sacred blood of a Holy King as an offering was undoubtedly a lifetime shame for that Holy King!
Under no circumstances would Huang Long allow such a thing to happen.
“Huang Long, if you go to the Central Great World now, it’s definitely not a match for the Central and Xuanhuang!” came the voice of the World Tree.
Huang Long frowned.
He knew that too. But could he just stand by and watch the Hongmeng Holy King be used as an offering?!
“How much time is left until the War of All Races?” asked the World Tree.
“Nine years!” Huang Long replied after a pause.
“Nine years? Hmm, there’s still time!” the World Tree mused.
“Still time?” Huang Long was puzzled, not understanding what the World Tree meant. Did it want him to raise his strength to the Daluo realm within those nine years?!
Nine years to reach the Daluo realm!
Huang Long was currently at the peak of the mid-stage Heda realm. Reaching the Daluo realm in nine years was almost impossible, even if he could continuously absorb fragments from the World Tree and draw the primal forces of those at the Taiyi realm—still impossible!
In the three thousand great worlds, there were many Hunyuan Saints; each great world produced at least one. But those at the Heda realm were rare—across all three thousand great worlds, there were no more than a hundred.
As for those at the Daluo realm, there were even fewer.
So far, only the Central Holy Lord and the Xuanhuang Holy Lord were known to be at that realm.
Just imagine how difficult it is to break through to the Daluo realm!
“Don’t you always say that nothing is impossible in this world?” The World Tree, knowing what Huang Long was thinking, said, “Given your current situation, breaking through to the Daluo realm in nine years isn’t impossible!”
“Oh?” Huang Long’s heart stirred.
“You should know that besides these three thousand universes, there’s another universe!” the World Tree continued.
Huang Long nodded. The World Tree kept evolving, and through it, Huang Long had always sensed that above these three thousand universes, there was another universe!
Could his breakthrough to the Daluo realm be related to that other universe?
“Back then, after creating these three thousand universes, I actually created another universe called the Wuji Universe. But before the Wuji Universe was fully formed, I engaged in a fierce battle with Pangu to create the heavens. At that time, my true body was shattered, and its fragments scattered not only across these three thousand universes but also in the Wuji Universe!” the World Tree slowly explained.
The Wuji Universe?
Huang Long was stunned. He never expected that the Wuji Universe, above the three thousand universes, was also derived from the World Tree.
“The Heart of the World is in the three thousand universes, but my main trunk lies in the Wuji Universe!” continued the World Tree.
The main trunk of the World Tree was actually in the Wuji Universe—now Huang Long finally understood what the World Tree meant. If he could find the main trunk and merge it with himself, he would indeed be able to break through to the Daluo realm!
“However, even if we find your main trunk and merge it to reach the Daluo realm, it won’t save our teacher!” Huang Long said solemnly after a while.
Reaching the Daluo realm would allow him to suppress the Xuanhuang Holy Lord, but what about the Central Holy Lord? According to the World Tree, he had already reached the peak of the late Daluo realm when he plotted against the World Tree and Pangu back then!
“Heh, do you think that just by finding my main trunk and merging it, you’ll only reach the early Daluo realm?” The World Tree suddenly laughed.
Huang Long was taken aback.
“All these fragments of the World Tree we’ve found along the way are actually just some peels shed from my main trunk back then!” the World Tree continued, revealing news that shocked Huang Long greatly.
All these years, the fragments of the World Tree that it had devoured and merged were merely peels shed from its main trunk?! And just a part of them!
“This…” Huang Long was shocked and didn’t know what to say.
If the World Tree had already reached the He Dao realm by merging just those peels, then what strength would it regain if it found its original main trunk and merged it?!
“If we find my original main trunk and merge it, we’ll at least reach the late Daluo realm!” said the World Tree.
At least the late Daluo realm!
After initial shock, Huang Long was overjoyed. If that was the case, even if he only reached the late Daluo realm, with his own formidable strength, he would be able to fight against the Central Holy Lord!
“Since I’ve been severely damaged, even if we find the main trunk and all the fragments, it will likely be difficult to regain my former peak strength. So, after merging the main trunk, if you want to break through to the Hunyuan Void realm, it will depend on your luck!” said the World Tree.
Huang Long nodded deeply. “Then shall we head to the Wuji Universe now?”
“Don’t rush. It’s not that easy for you to enter the Wuji Universe,” the World Tree suddenly said. “The entrance to the Wuji Universe was sealed by me back then—even those at the Daluo realm can’t open it!”
“Even those at the Daluo realm can’t open it?!” Huang Long was stunned. “So only those at the Void realm can?”
Hearing this, the World Tree chuckled and said, “There’s no rush. I also left five spirit talismans back then. As long as we find these five talismans, we can lift the restrictions on the entrance to the Wuji Universe and enter it!”
Hearing this, Huang Long felt relieved.
So that’s how it is!
“I sealed these five spirit talismans in five different places!” the World Tree continued. Immediately, memories of the locations of the five talismans appeared in Huang Long’s mind.
Of the five talismans, the first one was actually in the Jinwu Mountains of the Chaos Monster World!
The Jinwu Mountains—the headquarters of the Jinwu clan!
“Let’s go and retrieve the first talisman first!” said the World Tree.
Huang Long nodded and vanished from his spot in an instant, heading toward the Chaos Monster World.
A few hours later, Huang Long appeared before the Chaos Monster World. He broke through the World Crystal Wall and rushed in. Once inside, he opened his celestial eyes, and all the divine planes and spaces in the Chaos Monster World became clearly visible to him.
After pausing for a while, Huang Long rushed through the air toward the Jinwu Mountains. A few breaths later, the mountains appeared before him.
In the airspace around the Jinwu Mountains, spanning hundreds of millions of miles, there was a pervasive aura of the true fire of the Jinwu birds. Huang Long could see that beneath the mountains, in the earth’s core, lay a grand Jinwu formation, from which the true fire emanated.
Under this true fire, even ten half-saints from different eras would find it difficult to approach the Jinwu Mountains. But for Huang Long, this true fire was no different from ordinary fire.
After arriving at the Jinwu Mountains, Huang Long sensed a powerful presence in an alternate space within them. Realizing it was the aura of the clan leader of the Jinwu clan, the Jinwu Demon Saint, he ignored it and simply reached out with his palm, diving straight into the space where the talisman was sealed.
