Chapter 700: Nine Heavens Central City, Emperor Jin Xuan, Teleport
In order to go to the Extraterritorial Battlefield, one would need to pass through the Nine Heavens first.
The Nine Heavens was situated ninety thousand kilometers above the Firmament Star!
For someone who had become an Emperor like Chu Kuangren, going to the Nine Heavens was not a hard thing to do.
Like a stream of light, his figure dashed straight up into the sky and soon arrived ninety kilometers above the Firmament Star’s sky. Upon reaching that altitude, he suddenly came into contact with an invisible barrier!
That barrier was filled with spatial energy. Anyone without an Emperor’s cultivation level would not be able to open it.
“This must be the spatial barrier between the Firmament Star and the Nine Heavens.”
Chu Kuangren mumbled.
He reached out and effortlessly tore open a spatial rift through it before dashing inside.
In an instant, he had arrived at a whole new realm.
Although the Dao of this realm was no different than the one on Firmament Star, there was a slight difference in the density of spiritual qi here.
Besides that, the spatial structure of this realm was also very different.
This was the Nine Heavens realm created by the Emperors!
It also served as one of the lines of defense against the Blood Tribe’s invasion.
Chu Kuangren lifted his head. Looking up through the layers of clouds, he could see several faint golden patterns of light circulating high in the sky.
The patterns of light covered an extremely large area, seemingly enveloping the entire sky.
“Is this the second line of defense, the Detaching Heaven?”
The Detaching Heaven was the highest and most mysterious location within the Nine Heavens. At the same time, it also served as a formation, the most mysterious formation that Chu Kuangren has ever seen in his life. Even though he could only see a small part of it from below, he still believed it to be incredibly profound and complicated. It far exceeded the likes of his Astonishing Cloud of Seas Formation.
Outside the Detaching Heaven of the Nine Heavens was the Extraterritorial Battlefield, the place where Chu Kuangren was heading to. It was situated far beyond the Detaching Heaven Formation, in the vastness of space. To travel there, one would need to go through a teleportation formation.
A teleportation formation heading towards there could be found in the Nine Heavens.
“The Heavenly Tormentor said that the teleportation formation is located inside the Nine Heavens Central City. I shall head there then,” Chu Kuangren mumbled. Then, his figure disappeared on the spot and reappeared inside the Nine Heavens Central City.
The Nine Heavens Central City was the largest city in the Nine Heavens. It was also the gathering place of countless ancient orthodoxies and strong cultivators.
Besides that, it also served as a central hub between the Nine Heavens and Extraterritorial Region. From time to time, countless cultivators could be seen returning from the Extraterritorial Region here.
The Central City’s teleportation formation worked the same way as Chu Kuangren’s Spatial Conveyor Skill. It was a formation technique that utilized spatial energy to transport objects and people specifically between the Extraterritorial Region and the Nine Heavens. The only difference was that it could only transport objects and people from a fixed location to another, unlike the Spatial Conveyor Skill that could be used anywhere.
The benefit of this was that it could utilize an incredible amount of spatial energy. Despite how flexible it was, Chu Kuangren’s Spatial Conveyor Skill could not penetrate the Detaching Heaven, unlike the teleportation formation. Hence, it could be said that both had their own pros and cons.
“You’ll need to pay ten thousand kilograms of soul emblem for each time you travel to the Extraterritorial Region using the teleportation formation,” said the cultivator guarding the teleportation formation to Chu Kuangren.
Ten thousand soul emblems were no small amount. Some smaller-scale orthodoxies might not even be able to come up with that many soul emblems.
That was why no matter in the Nine Heavens or Extraterritorial Region, no one would easily fork up that amount of soul emblems to activate the teleportation formation unless necessary. However, that did not apply to those who were extremely wealthy, of course.
As for Chu Kuangren, he was no doubt one of the latter.
Without batting an eye, he took out ten thousand kilograms of soul emblems, handed it to that cultivator, and said, “Send me to Stronghold Seventeen.”
“Alright.”
“Please wait up. I’m going to Stronghold Seventeen too.”
At this time, a huge man suddenly walked up.
He had a hulking figure with black hair casually draped over his shoulder. Every movement of his carried a fierce aura.
The cultivator stationed at the teleportation formation immediately greeted him respectfully. “Greetings, Emperor Jin Xuan.”
“Greetings to you as well.”
“Emperor Jin Xuan, didn’t you just become an Emperor a few days ago? And you’re already in such a hurry to go to the Extraterritorial Battlefield?”
The cultivator stationed there asked in surprise.
Emperor Jin Xuan laughed in reply. “I can’t wait to go to the Extraterritorial Region. Those Blood Tribe b*stards aren’t going to kill themselves, after all. How can I afford to stay here any longer?”
“You’re very brave, Emperor Jin Xuan. You could’ve easily obtained a slot to enter the world below and watch over the sealed Gods. That job is quite an easy one, you know, albeit quite boring. You don’t have any idea how many of those old Emperors were fighting over that job. You’re the only one who wants to go to the Extraterritorial Battlefield instead. Good for you.”
“Don’t compare me with that group of Emperors. The only thing they’re good at is eating and waiting to die. I, on the other hand, am going to achieve great things in the Extraterritorial Region.”
Emperor Jin Xuan laughed arrogantly.
Chu Kuangren shot him a glance from the side. He could tell that Emperor Jin Xuan had only become an Emperor recently.
‘He’s only a Rank One Initial Emperor. Judging from the words of that cultivator stationed here, he must have become an Emperor recently.’
‘He must be one of the cultivators who awakened after the Heavenly Dao’s restoration and ascended to the Emperor Realm. The strength he possesses is already an impressive feat no matter in the Firmament Star or the Nine Heavens. After all, Emperors are still rare and few everywhere.’
‘Some have even regarded the Emperors as beings in the pinnacle of existence.’
‘Yet, they’re lacking in power in the Extraterritorial Battlefield.’
‘To put it bluntly, Emperors might be a revered figure in the Nine Heavens and Firmament Star, but they are just high-grade cannon fodder in the Extraterritorial Region.’
‘It will be hard to even stand out from the others, let alone achieve great deeds.’
Then again, those were only Chu Kuangren’s inner thoughts. Seeing that Emperor Jin Xuan had such great ambition, there was no need for Chu Kuangren to discourage him.
“Hey, you mentioned that you’re going to Stronghold Seventeen as well, right? ” Emperor Jin Xuan looked at Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren nodded slightly. “Yeah.”
“What a coincidence. Have you become an Emperor yet?”
“I have.”
Emperor Jin Xuan looked at Chu Kuangren with surprise. “D*mn, you’re quite young for an Emperor. I can’t believe you’ve reached this level at such a young age.”
Although it was hard to determine a cultivator’s age based on appearance alone, one could learn a thing or two by the type of aura and physique they had.
Emperor Jin Xuan made a guess that Chu Kuangren was younger than a thousand years old.
Becoming an Emperor at such an age was already an incredible feat. At the very least, it was obvious that Chu Kuangren was a sky-pride.
Emperor Jin Xuan was suddenly interested in befriending him.
Even the cultivator stationed there was extremely surprised.
‘No wonder he can hand out that amount of soul emblems without batting an eye. It’s because he’s an Emperor as well.’
“Please wait a moment, you two. I shall go and activate the teleportation formation for both of you.” The cultivator stationed there took the soul emblems, walked to the side of the teleportation formation, and tossed most of them into it.
That was why such a huge amount of soul emblem was required to activate the teleportation formation every time. The teleportation required soul emblems as an energy source every time it was activated. Hence, it was natural that the bulk of this would be paid by the person who needed it.
“Alright, we’re ready. Both of you, please enter the teleportation formation.”
Chu Kuangren and Emperor Jin Xuan walked into the teleportation formation.
A white light soon lit up from the teleportation formation’s light pattern. The next instant. Chu Kuangren could feel his vision change before him, followed by the view of a gigantic colorful river of light.
Countless sceneries appeared and changed continuously within the river of light as both of them were teleported.
After a while, the river of light disappeared. Chu Kuangren and Emperor Jin Xuan were still standing inside the teleportation, but the scenery around them had changed this time.
