Just as I stood in front of the candle, my vision turned, though I was still in space, I was in deep space, where not even the stars shone, not even their light reached this dark void and empty place. But in front of , there it stood, a creature that was as old as ti, as big as the skies, and as unfathomable as this very endless space.
I looked the Primordial Dragon Snake in the eyes and it did the sa to . I had no way, no will no power and no possible way or thod to face this thing, I was neither strong enough to fight it, fast enough to escape it, but at least, I was brave enough to face it. Not that I would manage such a feat if this was reality, sothing many of the people doing this very test failed to see, this was fake, all of it. it was nothing more than a test to face one’s fears, and then in facing them, their hearts would grow stronger.
But here, though this thing frightened , it was not a heart demon. It was not sothing like the many people here faced, this was not so insurmountable obstacle in my life that I’ll need to work hard to overtake. This in front of was an illusion, as the real thing, if it had stood this close to , I would have died thousands of tis over.
What’s in front of didn’t even portray a fraction of a billionth of a fraction of the real terror that was swimming the deep space and was coming towards . The Primordial Dragon Snake was an entity that was borne with the birth of this world, or so the Poison God had said.
I would never even dream of surviving if I were to face this creature with my current strength, and thus, I feared not, for if this illusion was my death, then I would die. But if this illusion was nothing but an illusion, then what is it to fear?
The creature in front of opened its mouth, and I gazed upon it unmoved. It then dove on and I remained unfazed, unperturbed. It engulfed whole, as darkness, blacker than the depth of space subrged , yet I didn’t shudder, scream, fear or feel distress, I remained unmoving like a mountain.
I had seen the real, so how could the unreal ever have power over my heart?
Suddenly, I woke back up on the celestial road, and in front of , there were no more candles.
"You’ve faced your fears, you’ve faced your death, and you still stand unperturbed, I know not of a man that has no fear, for those who have no fear are only the crazed, or gods, the probability of being the first is high, yet it doesn’t exclude the latter. You have a long path ahead of you, cultivator."
In front of a door opened up, it was made of gold and bronze, it had the depiction of fair ladies, brave n, dragons and phoenixes above it. The door opened up into a massive realm, where the ground was made of mix of gold and dark substance.

This place was broad and wide enough that I couldn’t fully see its end, and what made this place’s sky was not the blue skies of the world, but rather the endless space.
***
Disciple of mine, ware! For you’re in the lower Celestial realm.
This place here is good for cultivators who wish to cultivate their Qi into saint Qi, though you do not have the capability to do so, you should know that facing a creature that has been born here will be the end of you.
Get any treasures you can get, and escape from this place if you can!

The heck is going on? The mont I thought this, my body shuddered as I felt a weight far surpassing whatever I had pushing against . My Sky Pearl almost threatened to break as it overworked itself in trying to fend of the assault, it turned extrely hot, hot enough that I felt that it would burn through my skull from the sudden pain. I forcefully shut down its defensive ability and finally was able to breath.
"What the fuck, was this a divine sense?!" I shuddered at the thought, soone’s divine sense, this wasn’t even an attack but it was powerful enough that I felt like an ant caught between the thumb and index of a giant.
Not only was my Sky Pearl unable to fend off this divine sense, it was as if this divine sense was powerful enough that all the inscriptions I had on the pearl were not nearly fractionally enough to contend nor even dare oppose it with the torturous illusions I had on it.
Whoever used their divine sense on , disregarded my whole existence imdiately, as if I was nothing but a fly on a piece of dung, unworthy of thought. Vexing, but if he thought such of , then it would be best as I don’t want any unwanted attention.
"Feel free to have whatever you may obtain from here. But do not be too greedy." The voice that accompanied in this trail said.
I looked around and noticed that the whole place I was on was encompassed in a vast do. It was barely shimring against the golden ground of this Lower Celestial Realm.
I used my sword to travel though this celestial realm. As I moved, I saw many tumbled down palaces, buildings that should have been built using so extrely expensive materials, have all been destroyed due to ti.
Space above the shimring do looked heavily distorted, the space was ripped, and from within these rips in space, ca a purple wind that felt like it would tear to atoms if I were to set foot outside this shimring do.
I didn’t think about going out of the do and decided that it would be best to try and inspect these ruins. Perhaps I could find sothing useful.
And so I started going from palace to palace, hoping to find anything, and I did, as a matter of fact, I found silver wear, glass wear and many other stuff, most looked older than ti itself, but they were made from material that was no simple. These small utensils for example, they were made with Celestial Silver. It’s far more amazing and more expensive than normal silver, and it can channel Qi with great efficiency, this very spoon in my hand could be exchanged for a city in term of value.
And there were many of them. I began sweeping the palace from the wears and continued on, from palace to palace. I even found so old rusty swords, but most of them were just used for decoration, there were no legendary swords or sothing amazing.
I continued looking through the palaces, and then I felt another surge of that sa Divine Sense from before. Only this ti it didn’t focus on and only went past . I understood that many other disciples had entered this place, and if I were to stay here longer I’ll probably end up eting them. Since I was here first, they’ll probably assu I have found sothing interesting, and we’ll be in a standoff that I don’t want to be in.
I decided to leave a few spoons and random materials, but anything else, I grabbed.
I have no idea why this Lord’s Tomb gave us access to this Lower Celestial Realm, but I’m damn thankful, it seems that this is the first ti the Lord’s Tomb allowed anyone to access this area. And since it randomly takes the disciples to random places, I believe this is the first ti in a few thousand years that any living being had sat foot in this place.
I continued moving through the lands until I felt that sothing was wrong. I have already been here a while ago. Looking back, I saw a couple cultivators coming my way, but they didn’t even look at , nor call out. They just walked into a nearby palace, so every directly looked my way but there was no recognition of my existence.
Suddenly, one of them took a sudden turn and he completely disappeared, while the rest didn’t even register their friend disappearing, they too followed after him and disappeared from my sight.
I was at a loss, what the heck was happening?
Soon more cultivators and demons ca, but they all took random twists and turns, I even saw so of them walk right into walls, and out of them.
Sothing is wrong with this place, it’s like there is a flaw in the law of space in this exact place.
And imdiately after I thought about this, I had an epiphany regarding this place. This whole god damd place was like a maze. It’s compounded space, pieces of this celestial realm were actually folded atop each other.
I sat down and began thinking about this whole ordeal, I thankfully still rember the areas I went through, and as it seems, the only way for soone to co in contact with is if they take the sa steppes I did, or be extrely lucky and find a way into the space I’m currently in.
Also, it seems that I accidentally happened to be in a higher special chamber, yes, I’ll call them that, Spatial Chamber. And since I’m in a higher Spatial Chamber I’m able to see them but they’re not able to see . Then, could this an, that whoever used their divine sense earlier is already on an even higher Spatial Chamber than I?

Well, laws of space aren’t easy to understand, but so far, I have a little bit of comprehension of my current situation, though I highly feel that I’m trapped in this place.
I tried using my divine sense, but it imdiately backfired, my divine sense spread at first like a globe around , then it began spreading in long lines that turned and twisted everywhere and all over the place. It was like the mont I took a step there were hundreds of different paths and chambers that I would be taken to.
It’s very strange but it feels like every step is an entrance to another branching path, only this path had hundreds of different exits, and every step I took, would lead to a different place.
This maze is rather amazing, and I think I’ll probably die here if I don’t find a way out.
I can’t take any careless steps, as I discovered the true danger of this place it would be unwise to take careless paths, so now, which path to take, and which way to go?
