Chapter 762: 427 Chapter 762: 427 For silent New Celestial Honors like this, Zhiyi Heavenly Lord had ample experience in dealing with them.
Just ignore him.
After all, these new Celestial Honors are only tough at talking. If they are actually asked to do sothing, they tend to cower; so, let them indulge in the pleasure of running their mouths.
Having just finished a ga of chess, he was about to restore the surrounding celestial bodies to their places when he felt the arrival of Fang Cheng and, thus, he saluted and said, “Great Heavenly Lord, you’re here.”
“Heavenly Lord Fang, you’re here!”
Xiayun was fierce and nacing just monts ago, but at this mont, his face was full of smiles, which Zhiyi Heavenly Lord found rather helpless to watch.
When they created this universe, they had already been severely chased by consciousness entities.
The sudden intervention of the Immortal Assembly granted them so breathing room, and creating this universe beca an act of desperation.
After all, if they did not find a place to reside, they would all die.
However, this also brought about a problem: the Laws of the new universe were incomplete. Though the new Celestial Honors born within this universe progressed swiftly in their developnt, their upper limits were generally not very high, and there seed to be issues with their personalities as well. It was unclear which part of the process had gone awry.
Zhiyi Heavenly Lord thought everything would be fine after being more ticulous, but looking at Xiayun’s reaction, he still felt that they had made do with what they had, and that it had been a mistake.
After sighing, Zhiyi Heavenly Lord offered Fang Cheng a cushion and then asked, “Great Heavenly Lord, what brings you here today?”
“I’m in a bad mood, just ca to take a walk.”
Zhiyi Heavenly Lord was about to offer so comfort to Fang Cheng but then rembered Fang Cheng’s level of Cultivation, realizing that his consoling words might not be of any use.
Yet, saying nothing might co across as a lack of concern for the other party, so he thought it was still better to say sothing.
But saying the wrong thing could upset Heavenly Lord Fang, aning he had to choose his words carefully and also take into account the Great Heavenly Lord’s reaction.
Tens of hours later, Zhiyi Heavenly Lord finally figured out what to say, but when he turned around, he found both Fang Cheng and Xiayun were gone.
“Where are they?” Zhiyi Heavenly Lord exclaid in surprise.
A forr demon, now a Taoist Boy, saluted and said, “Heavenly Lord, the Great Heavenly Lord has already left with Xiayun Heavenly Lord.”
“Oh.”
Returning to his original position, Zhiyi Heavenly Lord looked at the chessboard in front of him, thinking that next ti he could be a bit quicker.
At that ti, Fang Cheng was touring the Heaven-Opening Blocks with Xiayun.
The prison where the player is currently located is a part of the Heaven-Opening Blocks, a sophisticated chanism created by the Immortal Assembly with vast spaces, and the prison is just a tiny part of it.
Different Heaven-Opening Blocks have different structural features, and the features here closely resemble hell.
The interior space of the blocks is like an hourglass, constantly people or Cultivators are sent here, and then based on their sins, they are dispatched to different areas.
“Our original duty was to oversee this place and make them reform themselves. However, given that the Heaven-Opening Block is aid at thousands of civilizations, our power as guardians is insufficient, so most are just sent straight here.”
After hearing Xiayun’s explanation, Fang Cheng looked at the structure of the place and felt the selection chanism was a bit peculiar.
It was normal for Cultivators to be sealed here upon arrival, but why should ordinary people also be sealed up instead of being sent directly into the cycle of reincarnation?
After voicing his doubts, Xiayun gave a bitter smile.
“Heavenly Lord Fang, we have considered this issue too, but have found no answers. The people of the Immortal Assembly have always been enigmatic; we have only encountered the periphery, and none of us have ever t a true core mber. They haven’t told us why it must be done this way, just that we should do it.”
“Is that so… Could it have to do with the Land of Reincarnation?”
Each place has its own Land of Reincarnation, the ultimate destination for every Soul.
After death, Souls sink into Mingtu, where they erase all mories before being reborn.
However, rebirth is rather random. Apart from so powerful beings with Mana, it’s almost impossible to choose one’s destination.
But it’s not a big issue, as most will return in a matter of seconds, especially since the lifespan of so places’ creatures is that short.
Xiayun nodded slightly, “That is possible; we’ve considered it. But the Land of Reincarnation here is too special. Even several new Celestial Honors working together don’t know how to infiltrate it, and this theory can only be shelved.”
“Understood,” nodded Fang Cheng.
Xiayun breathed a sigh of relief and then pointed to a place, saying, “Heavenly Lord Fang, there are several nice attractions over there, quite interesting to explore. I’ll take you there for a visit.”
“No rush.”
Imdiately after, Xiayun felt his hand being grabbed before he could react, and suddenly, the scenery around them changed.
Everything before their eyes started to blur, the boundary between life and death was broken here, causing the scene ahead to beco indistinct.
Horrific cries rang out, the surroundings turned exceedingly gloomy, and the power of a Heavenly Lord seed as thin as paper here, instilling an endless sense of terror in Xiayun Heavenly Lord.
But soon, he felt an incredibly warm sensation, as if the sun was rising at that mont, making all the ghosts and evil spirits have nowhere to hide.
Turning his head, he looked at Fang Cheng, shining like the morning sun, and couldn’t help but praise, “Imasurable Heavenly Lord.”
“Don’t be like that, just be normal,” Fang Cheng replied.
“Alright. Great Heavenly Lord, is this perhaps the Reincarnation Land?”
“Yes.”
Although Xiayun had already guessed where they were, he still felt quite excited to actually be there.
But after seeing the surroundings more clearly, he felt that he shouldn’t have co here.
This is no place for children!
Huge skeletons lay everywhere, vivid chunks of flesh were shocking to behold, and a large swath of strange plants grew unchecked, making the area seem far from a good resting place.
Swallowing hard, Xiayun asked, “Great Heavenly Lord, is the Reincarnation Land always like this?”
“Not at all, the Reincarnation Land is usually serene, and the grass that grows here lies between life and death, which can be cultivated for so interesting varieties. This place obviously has so sort of parasitic infestation, so it looks like this,” Fang Cheng explained.
“Is it a consciousness entity?”
“It seems like it, but I’m not certain.”
Looking at the scene before him, Xiayun felt sowhat uncomfortable.
The thought of his disciples having to pass through this place after death made him feel as if they were all contaminated.
And the idea that they might have carried sothing undesirable with them after death ant he knew he had to clean up thoroughly when he got back.
Fang Cheng ignored Xiayun’s mood and grabbed a handful of dirt, seriously examining it.
The soil of the Reincarnation Land, also known as Dark Sand, is a state between life and death and is an excellent material for artifact refining.
In the past, his junior cultivation brothers always liked having him bring so back for them; they were even willing to continue cultivating tirelessly just to get it, which made Fang Cheng wonder why this material was so popular.
After all, apart from concealing one’s own form and aura, the material seed quite ordinary in other respects.
Normal Dark Sand felt cold to touch and had a bluish glow.
But here, the Dark Sand felt sticky and had an unpleasant texture, as though it were the flesh and blood of so creature, making it uncomfortable to handle.
The most bizarre thing was that the soil contained worms as small as dust particles, which grew unchecked here, appearing quite eerie.
After feeling it for a while, although Fang Cheng did not know who had changed this place to its current state, he understood their thod.
“It’s malice,” said Fang Cheng.
“What do you an?”
“In a normal Reincarnation Land, people forget almost everything about their life. But this place is different; the malice inside people is retained, then it becos the nourishnt for these peculiar worms. Afterwards, these worms are eaten, becoming nourishnt for sothing else.”
Having realized this, Fang Cheng nodded.
Interesting.
