Chapter 14459 Beyond the Realm of Annihilation
Ling Xiao gazed at the crowd and said softly, "It's not that I want to leave quickly, but this world forces people to be fast! The Realm of Annihilation is cruel, and you should all strive hard, for only strength can control your own destiny."
Liu Heng solemnly replied, "We understand this principle and have never been lax in our understanding of it."
At this moment, Qin Xianglan suddenly spoke up: "I have already sent word to the Qin family to move here."
Weiwei also said, "I also had the people from the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range relocate here. The cultivation environment here is much better."
Ling Xiao looked at everyone, his smile gentle: "That's excellent. If they need anything after they arrive, please don't hesitate to ask."
After chatting with Weiwei, Momo, and the others for a while, Ling Xiao got up and left, with Weiwei, Momo, and Meng Haoqing silently following him out.
Ling Xiao looked at them: "Want to walk with me?"
The three of them nodded slightly.
The four of them slowly descended the stone steps of the Asking Peak. Along the way, disciples passed by from time to time, and they all stopped and bowed when they saw Ling Xiao.
On the stone steps, Ling Xiao asked softly, "How have you been lately?"
Weiwei nodded: "It's acceptable."
She turned to look at Ling Xiao: "Have you ever thought about going back to visit?"
"go back?"
Ling Xiao was slightly taken aback, then smiled bitterly.
He naturally understood what Vivi was referring to—
Northern Xinjiang!
They all came from the northern border of the Demon Suppression Palace.
He wasn't unwilling to return to his homeland, but he was currently overwhelmed with many matters and had far too many things to deal with.
Weiwei suddenly said, "How about we go back together sometime when we have some free time?"
Ling Xiao nodded gently: "Okay."
With his current cultivation level, returning to the Northern Frontier would only take an instant.
The following day, the powerful figures from all sides of the Overlord Empire set off in a grand procession aboard cloud boats toward the Heavenly Abyss Temple.
In the void, Ling Xiao stood at the head of the three Azure Dragons, with Shangguan Yue and Lü Ning standing beside him.
Ji Mingkong did not follow; she needed to stay behind to oversee things, as she was Ling Xiao's true representative.
An expedition to the Heavenly Abyss Sanctuary!
This decision was not made on a whim.
Continuing to remain trapped in the Overlord Empire is tantamount to waiting for death.
He knew perfectly well that the Heavenly Abyss Sanctuary would not let this go. Since that was the case, he might as well take the initiative.
Although it is an adventure—
But it is also an opportunity!
The Heavenly Abyss Sanctuary has just suffered a major blow, and the other party must be wary. As long as the other party has reservations, that will be his opportunity!
Ling Xiao looked at Shangguan Yue beside him: "When is the earliest we can arrive at Tianyuan Holy Hall?"
Shangguan Yue pondered for a moment and said, "With the help of the teleportation arrays left along the way, we can arrive in seven days at most."
Seven days!
Ling Xiao nodded slightly: "Pass down the order: once inside the territory of the Heavenly Abyss Holy Hall, no indiscriminate killing of the innocent or bullying of the weak is permitted. Anyone who disobeys will be executed!"
Shangguan Yue replied, "The order has already been given."
Ling Xiao looked up at Shangguan Yue, who seemed slightly nervous: "I..."
Ling Xiao chuckled: "No need to be nervous. I'm just curious whether you guessed what I was thinking, or..."
Shangguan Yue said in a low voice, "This is not a guess. My Overlord Empire has never harmed the innocent. When you left the Northern Frontier, you did not bully the weak either."
She looked up at Ling Xiao: "Furthermore, I believe that Your Majesty intends to manage the Heavenly Abyss Sanctuary, not destroy it."
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "You guessed right."
Business!
What he needs to do now is to manage the business well and help everyone grow together.
Shangguan Yue added, "My only concern about going to the Heavenly Abyss Sanctuary is what we will do if its territory has already been occupied by others?"
Ling Xiao sneered: "If it's occupied by someone else, then let's go to war!"
"War?"
Shangguan Yue stared at Ling Xiao: "Regardless of who the other party is?"
Ling Xiao stated decisively, "No matter who it is, war will break out."
Shangguan Yue asked, puzzled, "Why?"
Just as Ling Xiao was about to explain, Lü Ning suddenly spoke up: "Because we cannot retreat now. Everyone believes we have an unparalleled expert backing us; if we show weakness, they will have less to fear. The stronger we are, the more hesitant they will be to act rashly. Therefore, we have no choice but to be firm no matter who is in front of us! The stronger we are, the less they will dare to act rashly."
Shangguan Yue gave Lü Ning a deep look, then remained silent.
Ling Xiao nodded: "That's what being arrogant is all about!"
He gazed at the distant starry sky and murmured, "I can't keep a low profile anymore. I need to be high-profile, arrogant, and let everyone in the Heavenly Abyss Sanctuary know that I have powerful backers! I have a master behind me!"
The two women: "."
Three days later.
In the vast sea of stars, Ling Xiao stood as the head of the three Azure Dragons, with the powerful warriors of the Overlord Empire behind him.
Ling Xiao gazed at the end of the starry sky, his expression calm.
On this journey, he will lead everyone to a completely new world.
Tianyuan Sanctuary!
The most prosperous sacred land for cultivation on this land!
As if remembering something, Ling Xiao suddenly asked, "Senior Blade Demon, have you ever had any dealings with the Heavenly Abyss Sanctuary?"
The Blade Demon replied, "Never! What little mouse? I've never even heard of it!"
Just as Ling Xiao was about to ask again, the Blade Demon continued, "However, I did hear about them when I was sealed away. The Heavenly Abyss Holy Hall has indeed produced several exceptionally talented individuals. These people once attempted to reach the pinnacle of martial arts and leave the Realm of Annihilation. Although they failed, they were still quite remarkable."
Ling Xiao said in a deep voice, "Senior once said, how should one leave the Realm of Annihilation?"
The Demon Blade said, "Alas, you are still too weak. You have no idea what the Realm of Annihilation is, let alone what level you need to reach to leave it. The obstacles are unimaginable."
Ling Xiao pressed further: "What kind of obstacle?"
The Blade Demon remained silent for a moment before saying, "The laws of the outside world are completely different from those here. Neither the spatial structure nor the flow of time can be understood by warriors of the Silent Realm. And there are actually three ways to leave the Silent Realm."
Ling Xiao hurriedly asked, "Which three routes?"
The Demon Blade said, "Firstly, one can break through magic with brute force, forcibly tearing apart barriers. However, this is not something ordinary martial artists can do. Among the powerful figures of the Silent Extinction Realm that I know of, only the former sect leader of the Demonic Sect might be able to accomplish this."
Demon Sect Master!
Ling Xiao remained silent.
Although he had met this mysterious expert, his true strength remained elusive.
Just how strong is this person?
It remains a mystery.
At this moment, the Sword Demon added, "Secondly, it's about taking shortcuts."
"Taking shortcuts?"
Ling Xiao was taken aback. "How can we take a shortcut?"
The Demon Blade said, "Legend has it that as long as you obtain the token to leave the Realm of Annihilation, someone will come to guide you away; it's quite safe."
Keepsake!
Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Senior, if I have the token, can I leave the Realm of Annihilation now?"
Dao Modao: "Alright!"
Ling Xiao asked, "How do we get there?"
The Blade Demon retorted, "What are you going there for? To die?"
Ling Xiao: "."
The Demon Blade continued, "If you have the token, you can indeed go in now, but have you thought about what will happen after you go in?"
Ling Xiao gave an awkward smile: "I hadn't thought about that in detail."
The Blade Demon scoffed, "You haven't even established a foothold in the Realm of Annihilation, yet you're already thinking of venturing out?"
Ling Xiao's lips twitched slightly. This senior swordsman was good in every way, except that he spoke too bluntly.
The Demon Blade added, "Actually, there is a third way to leave the Realm of Annihilation."
Ling Xiao asked curiously, "What method?"
The Demonic Blade: "Enlightenment!"
Ling Xiao frowned slightly: "Enlightenment? What do you mean by that?"
The Demon Blade explained, "The rules of heaven and earth, the laws of the Great Dao, and the order of space and time outside are completely different from those inside. If the martial artists inside can comprehend these and truly understand their essence, they can ascend to heaven in broad daylight. However, as far as I know, it seems that only one person in history has entered the upper realm in this way. Moreover, this person is just a legend in our land; whether he actually existed is unknown."
