Chapter 572: Ugh? How Come It Looks like This?
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
For some idle people, they would play any new games and watch any new TV Series the moment they were released. Su Tianji was one of them.
Fairy Qing Yun, who had become idle recently, was another.
She had come here to do something for the cultivation world, but…
After waiting for a long time, nothing had happened. As for the brave fighters, Rosen Rain had launched her live shows, Zhu Yanxiao had established a studio for moving bricks, and as for Xiaoyue….
Jiang Xiaoyue was eating her potato chips while hiding in a corner so that the despicable shop owner couldn’t take them from her.
The d.a.m.n invaders are nowhere to be seen, and the fighters are getting idle , While feeling sad and helpless, Fairy Qing Yun began to watch the new TV Series.
She even suspected that she had made a mistake in her calculations and that the catastrophe wouldn’t strike the Spiritual State after all.
“Are you guys coming or not…” Fairy Qing Yun murmured to herself while watching the TV Series.
“We are here already…” Jessica mumbled through her gritted teeth behind Fairy Qing Yun.
…
This feeling was quite weird.
For the researchers who were artifact master and mechanism masters of the grand factions, they would never stop their exploration of the unknown world regardless if the catastrophe struck the world or not.
What were the secrets about the Immortal Dao in the ancient times? Which of the worlds shown in the games and TV Series were real or closer to their own world?
Perhaps their world was just a simulation, just like the one shown in the Matrix.
They had perceived more possible explanations for the world, and these new thoughts improved their way of thinking.
People in this world said that no one could pa.s.s the Sky Mountain of the Ultimate West Realm. What lay beyond the Sky Mountain?
The ancient legend said that the people in pursuit of Dao all went to Heavenly Abyss Sea. What secrets were hidden in that forbidden area which was fraught with danger?
Why couldn’t they ascend to Heaven from their own factions?
“Welcome to this episode of Approaching Science. I’m Li Haoran.” At this moment, the big screens in the shops were showing a weird-shaped golden battle jet flying toward the Heavenly Abyss Sea at great speed. On the bottom-right corner was Li Haoran’s livestream studio. “This is the livestream sent back by Mr. Fang. In this livestream, we’ll explore the mysteries of the world in a scientific way.”
“Now, let’s ask Mr. Fang why he has a sudden interest in this question.”
Naturally, Mr. Fang wouldn’t tell them that he had just gotten a task to open another branch shop, which was why he intended to explore another place.
After all, as the shop owner, he couldn’t spend all his time playing games like these lazy people.
At this moment, Jessica, Carl, and Kevin were sitting on a couch. In one corner, two black-clothed figures were also solemnly watching ‘Approaching Science’ which was hosted by Mr. Fang.
“Heavenly Abyss Sea isn’t a peaceful place.” The two figures hiding in the corner whispered to each other. “With these people pilotting a Corsair Battle Jet, they will soon return in defeat after a few moments.”
“Aw! How come this kid went to the Heavenly Abyss Sea?!” The G.o.dly swords hung at the entrance yelled.
“Seniors, do you know the secrets of Heavenly Abyss Sea?” Some disciples of the Qingqiu Family noticed that these swords seemed to know something about this sea, so they immediately cupped their hands and asked the swords.
“Little girls, you asked the right people.” Seeing many people looking toward it, the G.o.dly sword named Qingming said arrogantly, “Weird winds sweep across Heavenly Abyss Sea frequently. In one moment the sky is clear, and in the next moment, vicious and huge waves might surge up toward you.”
“In one moment, the ocean is peaceful, and in the next, a sea monster might leap out and attack you. They are so powerful that they can swallow a cultivator like you guys whole!” the G.o.dly sword named Qingshuang said.
– Meanwhile, on the Heavenly Abyss Sea –
“Sir.” A few servants kneeled before the white-robed man and reported, “To hide our whereabouts, we’ve cleared all the nearby sea monsters; no stupid sea monsters will come to us during the concealment.”
“Okay… very good.”
– Inside the shop –
“There’s more!” The black sword said, “Huge and pitch-black holes will appear at the bottom of the sea, sucking huge amounts of water inside as if huge dragons were sucking water at the sea bottom. If you get close to them, it’s extremely dangerous!”
“It’s so dangerous?!”
“Then, the shop owner and others are in mortal danger, right?!”
The girls looked pale.
– In the palace hovering in the sky above Heavenly Abyss Sea –
“Sir, we’ve resolved the issue of ‘sea holes’ created by the spatial shards. They won’t have any impact on us.”
“Good! Good! We must do the work that Carl and the other lords a.s.signed to us! We can’t allow those natives to notice our existence!”
“Yes! Then, why don’t we leave this place to avoid these natives…? Or we can go to the place where Jessica and the other lords are staying…”
“As for that…” The white-robe man said, “The lords don’t want us to go there; I’m sure they have good reasons for that!”
– In the Yuanyang City Shop –
The G.o.dly swords continued, “There are more dangers than those! Horrifying black lightning bolts strike that area constantly. Ordinary cultivator would be turned into ashes if they were struck!”
“What lightning bolts are these? How come they are so powerful?!”
“It’s said that the ancient cultivators pa.s.sed their tribulations in that place, and these lightning bolts are called Heavenly Tribulation G.o.dly Lightning!”
“Ah! So powerful!”
More and more people gathered around the swords, and their faces paled as they yelled, “Hurry and tell the shop owner to come back! That place is too dangerous!”
– In the sky above Heavenly Abyss Sea –
“Sir, the nearby sea area is peacefully under the control of our Holy Artifact Heaven-Hiding Palace, and I’m sure that it wouldn’t trigger any Void Tribulation Lightning… But the s.p.a.ce around the border of realms is still a bit vulnerable.”
– In the Yuanyang City Shop –
“According to the legends, that place is the origin of Heavenly Dao and the birthplace of Hundun…”
[TL Note: Hundun means primordial and central chaos in Chinese cosmogony.]
“Actually, it is this amazing?!”
“Is it the legendary holy land?!”
The people around the G.o.dly swords clucked their tongues in amazement.
In the sky above Heavenly Abyss Sea.
“Okay. Now, no one will see that we’re hiding here.” The white-robed man waved his hand impatiently while mumbling to himself, “I hope that the Heavenly Dao of this world won’t slack off and fall apart… What is going on? The energy stored in this holy artifact might run out…”
“Sir, the crack that we traveled through to jump between…”
“They are coming. Some people are coming… we have no time to repair it now. Keep hiding!”
…
At this moment, the super expedition team consisting of Mr. Fang, Gu Tingyun, Zong Wu, and other cultivators and warriors of the Spiritual State finally arrived at Heavenly Abyss Sea.
Above the Heavenly Abyss Sea, the endless blue sky was dotted with white clouds.
Occasionally, some white birds flew across the ocean.
The blue ocean had gentle ripples on its surface.
“Please watch the visuals sent back by Mr. Fang.” Li Haoran, the host of Approaching Science, said at this moment.
“The blue sky and cyan ocean are so pretty!?”
“Is this really the legendary forbidden zone…?”
“Oh… Is this the so-called Heavenly Abyss Sea?”
The audience was surprised.
The G.o.dly swords who had been busy describing the dangers in Heavenly Abyss Sea scratched their heads. “Ugh? How come it looks like this?”
