“I would naturally not look down on them,” the simple and honest looking young man said with a grin. “Over 1,000 years ago, the Ascendant Heavenly Sect’s Crown Princess personally led an expedition. She led a group of tier six Divine level experts, but they still ended up suffering from a crus.h.i.+ng defeat.
“Ever since then, that person has been guarding the seas. Even when the Ascendant Heavenly Sect’s sect master took action personally, he wasn’t able to break through that person’s defense and head to the Miracle World.”
The gentle-looking young man nodded. “It’s a pity that the three immortal sects in the higher realm keep fighting between themselves. They each harbored their own thoughts and couldn’t be fully devoted about joining forces and working together. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have to go through so much trouble to take down this Miracle World.”
The three immortal sects did not have a harmonious relations.h.i.+p, and there was even secret internal strife. Therefore, none of them were willing to expend a tremendous amount of effort to break through Western Land’s defense. Otherwise, they would end up making a huge loss instead if others were to take advantage of the situation.
The many experts in the higher realm naturally knew that that Miracle World was not at the end of the seas. They knew that it was actually located far in another world and on another planet. It was just that there was an area on the seas where the s.p.a.ce between the two worlds overlapped.
However, the secular dynasty in the lower realm, especially ordinary Xiantian and Grandmaster experts, did not know about this. In their eyes, Miracle World was on the other side of the seas.
These two cultivators from the higher realm were the direct disciples of the higher realm’s Repose Palace. The gentle-looking one was called Tang Xian, and the honest-looking one was called Huang Shan. Both of them were tier six Divine level experts and top-notch characters amongst the Repose Palace’s disciples.
This time around, they had received the order to conceal themselves amongst the eastern expedition forces and seize the fleet after arriving in Miracle World, reaping the benefits from Miracle World.
“According to the Elders, the impending onslaught and the world’s metamorphosis that Miracle World is going through now will only truly start after another 50 years. They aren’t aware of the technique for achieving longevity. So, right now, the actual threat across the entire land is that one guardian, followed by the people from the Church of Universal Truth and the Mage a.s.sociation. The Divine level experts in these two great influences have not experienced the world’s metamorphosis before, and their cultivation aren’t comparable to us. However, their divine arts and sorcery are special, and they have the ability to challenge those of a higher level.
Tang Xian a.n.a.lyzed, “Therefore, in our trip this time around, we must keep things from everyone else and hide from the guardian’s surveillance. Another thing we need to do is to try to avoid making enemies with the Church and the Mage a.s.sociation as much as possible.
“Our targets are the other countries with ordinary people. We’ll take action secretly, and it would be best if we can secretly control a few countries and reap all various resources from them.”
Clearly, the immortal sects in the Western Land’s higher realm had a great understanding of Miracle World, and they had not given up on casting their covetous eyes on this land.
It was just that the existence of the Church of Universal Truth, Mage a.s.sociation, and that guardian had caused them to have reservations.
This time around, they took the opportunity to send two disciples over. One reason was so that they could reap benefits before the world’s metamorphosis take place, and another reason was to test them out.
The objective of their test was a new technique. They wanted to see if they could use it to help two tier six Divine level experts dodge the surveillance of the guardian.
However, the miscalculation that the higher realm’s immortal sects made was that the timing for the world’s metamorphosis in Miracle World was brought forward for unknown reasons. A new onslaught would be taking place in another few months even though it had been predicted to take place several decades later.
In fact, the acceleration of this phenomena had already broken the plans of many great influences on Miracle World. This allowed Fang Xingjian and the others to go through a great restructuring within such a short period of time.
“Based on our multiple probings, existences who are tier two of the Divine level or lower will not be discovered by the guardian when they pa.s.s through the overlapping domain and head into Miracle World,” Tang Xian said. “For existences who are at tier one of the Divine level or higher, we’ve attempted all sorts of methods. Regardless if it is concealing one’s cultivation, creating clones, or using Spatial Translocation, it’s impossible to remain hidden.
“The guardian should have some kind of extremely strong insight.”
This fleet of elite naval forces was meant to deal with this super strong insight.
Im fact, the time used in preparing this fleet far surpa.s.sed Commander Lin Guodong’s imagination. Over 80% of the soldiers on the s.h.i.+ps—a total of about 100,000 people—had been planted with a hint of martial will by Tang Xian and Huang Shan in the year they were born.
This meant that Tang Xian and Huang Shan had split their powers into 100,000 parts and grown up together with these people in the process. They integrated together, becoming one. Unless Tang Xian took the initiative to withdraw the powers, they would still remain a part of these soldiers’ bodies.
This was the method the Repose Palace had thought up to avoid the guardian. They were really unwilling to fight head-on with this guardian, who was capable of exchanging blows with the Ascendant Heavenly Sect’s sect master on equal grounds.
This trip was also the Repose Palace’s attempt to test things out. Once they manage to successfully avoid the surveillance, they would be able to take steps to advance gradually. They might not even require Tang Xian—a tier six Divine level expert—to reveal his powers. They could just rely on the Central Continent’s superior overall capabilities while Tang Xian took measures in the background in order to help the Repose Palace obtain a tremendous amount of benefits.
Three days later, Tang Xian looked at the seas and said, “We’ve arrived. Prepare to go into deep sleep. I hope that we’ve already arrived at Miracle World by the time we open our eyes once again.”
At the next moment, the bodies of the navy soldiers that Tang Xian and Huang Shan had possessed wobbled, and a hint of murkiness flashed in their eyes. By the time they reacted at the next moment, their thoughts were completely those of ordinary mortals.
The hint of martial will that Tang Xian and Huang Shan had planted into the navy soldiers had been hidden in the greatest depths of their brains.
At this moment, if any Divine level expert—or even tier seven or eight Divine level expert—were to probe, they would only be able to sense that there were merely a few tier one Divine level experts in the fleet. They would not be able to detect Tang Xian and Huang Shan, who had split their powers into 100,000 parts.
After another day pa.s.sed by, Tang Xian and Huang Shan woke up from their deep slumber, and the navy soldiers’ cheers rang out next to their ears.
They exchanged a glance and looked toward the blank line in the far distance. It was the sh.o.r.eline of Miracle World. A hint of joy flashed in their eyes.
“We’ve succeeded. The guardian didn’t manage to detect us either.” Tang Xian’s eyes lit up, and an expression of endless greed flashed in his eyes as he looked toward the land in the distance.
On this land that had no real experts, even if he could only take action secretly in the dark, the amount of resources they could seize would already far surpa.s.s what they could obtain from their sect.
These would be sufficient for them to head to the outer region and strive for tier seven of the Divine level.
He let out an exhale, calmed down his mind, and said, “Recall all of our martial will first. Miracle World…” The corners of his lips curled up into a hint of a smile. “…Will become our greatest resources.”
The two of them exchanged a glance and smiled. Their gazes were filled with intuitive understanding.
Since they had managed to pa.s.s through the barrier and arrive onto a land where there were almost no experts, how could the two of them possibly be willing to send such a large amount of benefits back to their sects?
In the flags.h.i.+p’s command center, the Commander Lin Guodong was equally excited. A new continent filled with barbarians and endless resources… He could already imagine the scene where he led many experts—donned in armor and equipped with cannons—and broke through the barbarians’ line of defense, seizing a tremendous number of slaves and quant.i.ty of riches and heavenly and earthly treasures.
