Chapter 953: Small World Within A World

Jiu Zhen and Liu Qing walked in the front with vigilant expressions and domains surrounding their bodies as they looked in all directions. If anything seemed out of the ordinary, they would immediately open their domains and unleash their unique abilities.

The three thousand cultivators following behind them were also the same. They had congealed all their energy to defend against any sudden danger.

Yet even after they walked a thousand kilometers, they still didn’t encounter any dangers. Jie Zhen and Liu Qing were a little doubtful in their hearts. From the time they started walking, they hadn’t encountered any danger, which made their journey extremely easy.

After walking a thousand kilometers, the ancient tree’s silhouette became quite clear. They could even see the halo being emitted by the several hundred godhoods as they flickered in the air.

“Dao friend, it seems like the ancient tree isn’t very far away. We haven’t encountered any danger during the trip, so perhaps this forest was only a ruin that has been in the night pearl small world from the start.”

Faint light flickered through Jie Zhen’s eyes as runes began to rotate in his eyes. He looked extremely similar to God Shiva of the Origin World at that moment.

Once Jie Zhen opened his heavenly eyes, he looked at the forest and the ancient tree floating in the horizon, but he didn’t detect any restrictions or spell formations.

Liu Qing’s investigation also revealed the same result. Both of them confirmed that the forest had been part of the night pearl small world from the start, or perhaps it was a world fragment which hadn’t evolved yet and previously belonged to a real world.

It probably hadn’t appeared before because it was covered up by the world fragment.

The three thousand cultivators didn’t say anything, while those with the ability to use heavenly eyes continued to look all around. No one asked anything aloud.

After making a round, everyone approved of Jiu Zhen and Liu Qing’s words. They loosened their vigilance and only thought about how to divide the godhoods later. How many cultivators of the three thousand would be allowed by True Son Duo Bao to take a godhood?

Without realizing it, everyone walked the second half of the trip and arrived in front of the ancient tree. Once they reached it, Jie Zhen and Liu Qing were attracted by its brilliance. A dazzling light was blossoming around the godhoods hanging on the tree.

“Choose three among you who will come with us to pluck the godhoods from the ancient tree. The rest of you must vigilantly look around,” Jie Zhen said.

Although they had reached the ancient tree smoothly, they had to remain careful at the end of their journey. If they encountered some danger at the final junction, it was possible for them all to die without warning.

Three people walked out from the three thousand cultivators, but just as the five reached the ancient tree, whispers echoed behind them.

“You all still not climbing? There are several hundred gohoods there. If we can snatch a few of them, then not only can we transcend tribulation and become immortals, we could help ten true immortals to appear in our sect.”

“If you are not going to climb, then say so. I will do it myself and run away from this place after taking the godhoods. When hiding among so many people, I think we can escape.”

“This is a rare opportunity. We must certainly take it.”

The cultivators present on the scene were at the peak among the mortals, only one step away from comprehending a grand dao, transcending tribulation, and becoming immortals. Enticed by the voices, their ambitions, which had been extinguished, burst into flame once more.

When they thought about it, they weren’t only a few hundred tribulation passing powerhouses, but rather full three thousand of them. Given so many people, how many could the few factions investigate?

As long as the number of godhoods they snatched wasn’t too high, True Son Duo Bao wouldn’t find trouble with them.

Jie Zhen and Liu Qing felt something and looked back to see a hint of madness in the eyes of the three thousand cultivators. Their eyes were focused on the godhoods hanging on the ancient tree, and the two men cursed inwardly. When they were outside, True Son Duo Bao knew that there were some people among the three thousand cultivators who wanted to fish in troubled waters, so he had ruthlessly warned them, killing their ambitions.

But when they arrived in front of the ancient tree, it seemed like some of the cultivators hidden among the group fanned the flames once more. If the three thousand cultivators rushed forward, then even if the two men were disciples of a large faction, they would still be washed away by the tide.

The talkative cultivators had to be put to death.

The two snorted coldly, then pretended to be calm as they tracked three people who were making the noises and threw out cultivation techniques one after another. They were like rays of light which drilled into the cultivators’ glabella within an instant. The light in their eyes went out, and their physical bodies turned into ashes and disappeared.

“Hmph, who dares to mislead people with words, be a little careful. You might end up losing your life.”

Jie Zhen snorted, and a halo appeared behind his body as the projection of buddha took form.

The three thousand cultivators took note of how Jie Zhen and Liu Qing had attacked so quickly that the three cultivators who were talking died without detecting anything. Even though they were also tribulation passing experts like them, the disparity between them was extremely large. For a period of time, the ambitions, which had realighted in everyone’s hearts, were again wiped out.

Jiu Zhen and Liu Qing watched as everyone quieted down with palms covered in cold sweat. Once they saw that the storm had passed, they turned to look at the godhoods hanging on the branches, and a hint of greed appeared in their eyes. It wasn’t like they had never seen a godhood, but they had never seen so many of them together. As far as they could see, their entire field of vision was filled with sparkling divine light.

“Dao brother, how many godhoods are hanging on the ancient tree? Should we begin plucking them?” Liu Qing said, then raised his head and began to count the godhoods hanging overhead.

Jiu Zhen and the three tribulation passing experts also began to count earnestly. All of them represented different factions, so they naturally couldn’t trust the counting of the others.

Once the different factions confirmed the number of godhoods, they could begin plucking.

The five of them extended their hands to pick the godhoods flickering with divine light. But just as they reached out, the ancient tree seemed to have come alive, and countless branches began to tremble as they pulled back toward the trunk. At the same time, a cave opening appeared in the trunk. All the branches entered it like water.”

“What is this thing?” Jiu Zhen asked lifelessly while looking at the opening on the trunk from which a weird presence came.

Liu Qing and the three thousand cultivators were also the same. They were startled after sensing the presence inside.

It was extremely familiar to them, just like the presence of the night pearl small world. It was a small world made from the world fragment of a former real world.

Those who obtained it could turn the fragment into their faction’s small world where they would become omnipotent like true gods. In the Goumang Real World, not even all peak powers could possess a small world. The Alliance had the highest number of small worlds, but they weren’t meant for people.

After a long time, everyone snapped back to reality and saw the ancient tree turn into a wooden pile with a large door hanging in front of them, with stars, sun, and moon wandering around.

“Damn it, it is surprisingly a world fragment!”

“How could a world fragment appear in the night pearl small world?”

“Didn’t you hear the words of Jiu Zhen and Liu Qing? They guessed that this forest is an object of a former real world. If this guess is true, then it isn’t impossible for it to possess such a precious treasure. But now that such a treasure has appeared, why must we listen to the words of True Son Duo Bao? We can enter this fragment and contest for the sovereignty, and whoever will possess will become a world master.”
