Chapter 114 - 114: World Rules
Approximately a day had passed.
Gu Xiu had captured over a thousand demonic cultivators and evil immortals, but there were still too many of them behind. Su Yang told him to stop capturing demonic cultivators; they would handle those, and Gu Xiu should focus on the evil immortals, whom he could eliminate directly.
Now, a day had passed, and the heavenly path reported that there were temporarily no traces of demonic cultivators or evil immortals.
Gu Xiu decided to halt his actions and went to find Su Yang.
Su Yang stopped swinging his sword and checked his current level and panel. His Sword Intent level had increased by five, significantly enhancing his power.
He also looked at his mission panel. The missions regarding demonic cultivators and evil immortals were not yet completed, meaning that there were still at least twenty percent of demonic cultivators and evil immortals in the world.
Level: Iv44
Objective: Eliminate eighty percent of evil immortals in the world
Reward: Will of All Beings points
Level: Iv87
Objective: Eliminate eighty percent of demonic cultivators in the world
Reward: Will of All Beings points
Both missions required the elimination of over eighty percent of demonic cultivators and evil immortals. Gu Xiu concluded that the heavenly path’s awareness was insufficient as it hadn’t yet completed all the targeting.
“Hey, heavenly path, your power isn’t sufficient, or did you lose track?” Su Yang asked.
“Sword Immortal, it’s not like that. Currently, the screening has reached the level of Grandmasters and below. We need more information to identify weaker entities. Without using the source, it will take some time.”
“Alright, I can reluctantly accept that explanation.”
In their preconceived notions, the heavenly path was an all-knowing and all-powerful entity in its own world. However, it seemed this wasn’t entirely true.
The heavenly path was indeed all-knowing and all-powerful as long as there was enough source energy. But when the source energy was insufficient and the world was weak, the heavenly path became relatively weaker.
This explained why the heavenly path never interfered unless the world’s source was threatened. Its purpose was to accumulate energy and elevate the world, maintaining stability and preventing destruction. When there were disruptors, it acted to eliminate them.
“Let’s go, first to Heilin Province.” action
With thousands of demonic cultivators and evil immortals on board the flying ship, they had enough resources to explore two worlds.
The flying ship changed direction and headed towards Heilin Province.
Heilin Province, the world rift.
Su Yang had already marked the demonic cultivators and evil immortals on the flying ship with the Sword Slave Imprint and activated the Eye of Tracking. As they crossed to the other side, Su Yang could observe the situation there.
He decided to control one person to enter the world rift and explore.
Soon, that person’s figure disappeared into the rift.
At the same time, Su Yang activated the Eye of Tracking to monitor the person’s situation in real-time.
Entering the world rift didn’t mean they immediately arrived in the other world. First, they needed to pass through a world channel.
This channel was pitch-black, emanating an aura of death.
The strength of this Sword Slave was at the Celestial Realm level, and he had decent speed. After flying for about ten minutes, changes appeared ahead. However, they hadn’t reached the world on the other side of the rift yet. Instead, they encountered evil spirits lingering within the rift channel. These evil spirits were quite powerful. The Sword Slave had just noticed their presence when he was attacked and killed.
Fortunately, the Eye of Tracking wasn’t affected by the Sword Slave’s death, allowing Su Yang to continue monitoring the situation inside the channel.
Looking ahead, he saw several more evil spirits.
Level 37… level 41… level 55… level 60!
In just a moment, four powerful evil spirits appeared.
Seeing this, Su Yang’s heart skipped a beat. Did these high-level evil spirits appear randomly on the other side? Furthermore, he felt that the Sword Intent he had attached to the Sword Slave was being suppressed, not specifically but universally.
It meant that, compared to his world, the Sword Intent in this world was weaker. In his world, his Sword Intent could cut mountains with a single stroke, but here, it could probably only break a large rock at most.
Without further hesitation, Su Yang controlled the Sword Intent to kill the four evil spirits.
To understand this anomaly, Su Yang asked the heavenly path for an explanation, and he quickly understood.
As he had suspected, different worlds had different levels, which meant different rules. The same level of cultivation, when transferred to a different world, might appear stronger or weaker due to the distinct world rules.
The main objective was to maintain the stability of the world and prevent harm to the world’s source. When disruptors appeared, the heavenly path would act to eliminate them.
“Alright, it’s a bit dangerous,” Su Yang thought. After dealing with the four evil spirits, he felt temporarily safe.
However, exploring the other world wouldn’t be simple. Su Yang immediately controlled five hundred Sword Slaves and intended to explore thoroughly. He needed to gauge the danger level in this world under normal conditions. “By the way, heavenly path, can you determine the level of the other world?” Su
Yang inquired.
“I can, but I need to go over there to be sure.”
“Okay, let’s go take a look.”
After ensuring that there were no greater dangers on the other side, Su Yang planned to lead the expedition himself. He needed to assess the situation firsthand to make a better judgment.
He instructed Gu Xiu to wait here while he entered the world rift.
Soon, he traversed the world channel and arrived on the other side. Upon arrival, he keenly sensed the world’s suppression.
In his world, his Sword Intent could cover a vast area, but here, it was limited to just a few miles. The suppression was substantial.
Furthermore, the heavenly path’s analysis indicated something important..
