Chapter 1637: The Gate of All Realms
After Lin Huang ended his call with Virtuoso, Virtuoso very quickly sent over three other Club members’ numbers.
Lin Huang saved the three numbers and composed a message which he then sent to the three of them.
“Greetings, respected seniors. I’m the Club’s new member, Xiu Mu. I killed a Raider by the codename of Mr. Gate, so I’ve been targeted by them. If you happen to be interested, I can be the bait, and we can hunt the remaining Raiders together.”
Less than ten seconds after the message was sent, one of them replied.
“How much do you know about the Raiders?”
This individual’s codename at the Club was Epic Player.
According to the information Virtuoso had provided, this individual was like Virtuoso—he was also a clone left by a reincarnated being. In the universe, his Primordium was an Almighty who was higher than lord-level.
Lin Huang thought about it for a while and decided to reveal some information in the end.
“There are at least seven Raiders in this great world at the moment. The one with the most powerful ability is a middle-rank Lord, as well as an individual with the codename Spy, who is suspected of being a middle-rank Lord as well. The rest are lower-rank Lords.”
He was not worried about whether or not Epic Player was a Raider spy because this information was more or less meaningless to the Raiders.
On the other hand, revealing the information about middle-rank Lords would allow him to estimate what exactly Epic Player’s abilities were.
If his abilities were not powerful enough to fight a middle-rank Lord, he would not reply after receiving that piece of news.
“So there are middle-rank Lords. Sounds interesting, count me in!
“Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My codename is Epic Player, a reincarnated being, lower-rank Lord. Although I’m a lower-rank Lord, I’m very interested in hunting middle-rank Lords.”
Epic Player replied with two messages in a row.
Lin Huang smiled slightly after reading the message. At least he had found a comrade in battle.
Although he was just a lower-rank Lord, judging by his replies, his abilities ought to be powerful.
“Of course—welcome! To prevent information from being leaked, I’ll keep my coordinates a secret for the time being. I’m estimating that they’ll find me in two or three days—five at most. When the time comes, I’ll send my coordinates immediately. Please come as soon as possible.”
He did not directly send his coordinates to guard against the possibility of this individual being a Raider spy as well.
Furthermore, he wanted to seize the opportunity to elevate his abilities again in the next few days before the Raiders showed up.
After Epic Player, another individual sent a message not too long later.
“That’s not a bad proposal at all—what are your coordinates?”
The person who sent the message had the codename Steel Fist.
However, after reading the message, Lin Huang had some suspicions about whether or not this individual was a spy.
They had agreed right away to hunt the Raiders without asking a single question and were asking for his coordinates as well.
“I’m keeping my coordinates a secret for the time being. I’ll send them to you two days later.” Lin Huang thought about it and decided to reply to the message. “I’ve confirmed that there’s a middle-rank Lord among the Raiders, and there’s another who’s suspected of being a middle-rank Lord. Are you sure you want to come?”
“By this great world’s rating, the Raiders won’t too powerful even if they have a middle-rank Lord as a guardian. He definitely won’t have a Dao seal above level-20. Even if we’re no match for him, I have sufficient means to survive. You, on the other hand, are a rookie. Don’t underestimate other Raiders just because you’ve killed one. You’ll die very quickly if you have such a mindset.”
“Thank you for your reminder, senior. I’ll take note.” When Lin Huang saw this reply, he was not angry at all.
Although the other’s words were hard to swallow, what they said was spot on. Lin Huang could even tell by this that the other was most probably not a Raider spy.
Upon reading the other’s first message again, he felt that it was actually reasonable.
Steel Fist had replied in such a straightforward manner because he knew the limits of the highest combat strength level for the Raiders in the great world. Any other information was extraneous—they did not need to ask about it.
Lin Huang was in an excellent mood after obtaining two battle comrades.
He waited for a while but did not see a reply from the third individual. He felt this was nothing out of the ordinary.
It was completely understandable for someone to be unwilling to take part in something related to the Raiders. This individual might also be in closed-door cultivation, in a ruin, or in a secret zone where they were unable to receive news from the outside world. This individual might also be a spy for the Raiders and could be currently reporting to the other Raiders about Lin Huang asking for help. There were many possibilities.
After turning off his communicator, Lin Huang quickly set aside his delight.
His partners from the Club were external forces. It was hard to say exactly how much help they would be.
Lin Huang was very much aware that his ability was the only thing he could rely on.
If he could fight off a middle-rank Lord using his own abilities, he would not have to worry at all about the Raiders finding him.
After turning off the communication page, Lin Huang got up and went through the garden. He then headed into the living room.
After closing the door of the villa, he sat down on the sofa right away, then closed his eyes and checked within his body.
After he killed Zhan Zhuo, a grayish-black stream of light had entered his body.
He had known immediately that it was Zhan Zhuo’s Goldfinger.
As a Goldfinger could only lodge in a traveler’s body, there were only three things that could happen to it once the traveler died.
One was that it directly escaped, one was that it lodged itself in the closest traveler’s body, and the last was that it might be forcibly refined by another traveler to become a source of nourishment for other Goldfingers.
Zhan Zhuo’s Goldfinger seemed to have sensed that there were many Goldfingers coexisting in Lin Huang’s body. From this, it was aware that Lin Huang was not the type who was fond of refining other Goldfingers to serve as nutrients, so it chose to surrender without hesitation.
This proved that not all travelers had a close rapport with their Goldfinger.
Lin Huang sank his consciousness into his body and soon saw the extra Goldfinger inside—a grayish-black metal door.
He communicated with his consciousness and soon received a brief piece of feedback.
“Gate of All Realms…”
This Goldfinger was called the Gate of All Realms. Its function was just like its name—it could open pa.s.sages to different realms.
The most special among these realms was the virtual realm.
Previously, Zhan Zhuo had actually displayed this ability. He had managed to open three pa.s.sages to the virtual realm at the same time to release the Voids.
However, what piqued Lin Huang’s interest was not this function but another one.
The Gate of All Realms could construct a virtual body for its host to enter the virtual realm and hunt.
Not only that, this virtual body currently had three lives per day.
In other words, Lin Huang would have three chances to explore the virtual realm every day.
Based on what Dark Sword had said, Voids could not be killed in the material realm. They would merely return to the virtual realm after death. However, Lin Huang managed to learn something else from the Gate of All Realms.
Voids could be killed in the virtual realm. Not only that, as soon as they were killed, all of their Origin Energy would be left behind and could be absorbed by virtual bodies.
The Origin Energy absorbed by a virtual body would be reflected in the actual body that resided in the material realm.
Lin Huang was extraordinarily excited to see this information.
He knew that he had found another way to increase his ability!
