In the universe was a place where various clans and races competed against each other. Not only that, experts were competing to transcend as well.
The Demon Clan had supreme experts but they seemed to have gone to the Chaos outside the universe, in the search for an encounter to transcend.
It also seemed that most supreme experts would head to the Chaos. Many Universe leveled experts too would try their luck in there.
‘The Chaos here doesn’t look like the Chaos in my world.’ As Jiang Ming thought, excitement glowed on his face.
The universe here was more suitable for exploration. He even thought of exploring the Chaos.
Luo Heng had already regained his senses, and had a somewhat sophisticated feeling.
Jiang Ming was, after all, of the same level as Luo Heng at the beginning. However, Jiang Ming had reached a stage that was far out of his reach in just a short while.
Luo Heng felt fortunate that Jiang Ming was not arrogant.
“Brother Jiang, why are you so excited?” Luo Heng suddenly saw the joy expressed on Jiang Ming’s face, and Yuan Qi, who was standing still. Hence, he made a wild assumption. “Don’t tell me you’re probing into his memory? It’s totally impossible to check on the Star Sea level expert, isn’t it? His will is incredibly strong, isn’t it?”
“Yes, I’m indeed probing his memory!” Jiang Ming grinned.
“What! Damn, how’s it possible!” Luo Heng almost jumped out. “It’s very difficult even for a Saint to probe into the memory of a Star Sea leveled expert, isn’t it?”
“Just some techniques.” Jiang Ming pointed at Yuan Qi as he said, “Do you want to submit him in exchange for your merit?”
“I do have the intention!” Luo Heng hesitated for a moment and smiled. “Hence, it’s better to take action. After all, it’s better to exchange the Star Sea leveled expert of the Demon Clan for merit than wasting this chance. By that time, I’ll get you top-grade wine.”
He made a pause to ponder before he continued, “Brother Jiang, what about you say that you’ve been cultivating at the border of the universe. You started traveling around recently and met me while I was besieged by the Demon Clan. Hence, you capture Yuan Qi so that you can get yourself a name in our human race. A live Yuan Qi has infinite value. Not to mention that you’ll get trust, at least you won’t be troubled by any member of the human race.”
“That’s just a waste of time!” Jiang Ming shook his head.
Luo Heng smiled wryly. “Well, nobody would believe that I’m capable of killing an expert of the Star Sea level. Hence, I’d need to take the guise of you as a ‘senior’.”
“You can just arrange it on your own!” As Jiang Ming said, he took out the spatial bracelet of Yuan Qi. The space inside was incomparably vast, which was comparable to dozens of planets.
Jiang Ming forcefully wiped out Yuan Qi’s imprint on it, and probed with his consciousness. His eyes lit as he was surprised. “There are too many good things in there!”
“The bloodline of the Demon Clan is strong, and the individuals are also extremely huge in size and powerful. Many of them even have bloodline inheritance. Their population is small but they have many affiliated clans. Hence, all experts of the Demon Clan are very rich.” Luo Heng explained. “Brother Jiang, what are the items in it?”
“Hold on!” Jiang Ling turned to Yuan Qi, and added another layer of confinement. Then, he threw it to Luo Heng. “No worries, just take it. No one below Cosmic level can release him.”
“Sure.” Luo Heng kept and suppressed it directly in his storage space before he looked at Jiang Ming.
The next moment, dense dots suddenly appeared in front of them, darkening their view. There were uncountable rows of spaceships, numerous artifacts and weapons, precious minerals and stones, various materials and so on. The amount of these things was so great that they could fill two planets.
“Two sixth grade spaceships, 32 fifth grade spaceships, 800 fourth grade spaceships and 30 million third grade spaceships. Gosh!” Luo Heng was astounded as he scanned through with his consciousness. “I know that the members of the Demon Clan are rich, but they are incredibly richer than I expected.”
“I think it’s not suprising!” Jiang Ming grabbed out and kept a sixth grade spaceship, half of the fifth grade spaceship, and some precious minerals. “The rest are yours!”
“Brother Jiang!” Luo Heng shook his head. “Taking Yuan Qi is the greatest benefit I’ve got. Hence, I can’t take these!”
“I’m not interested in all of them!”
“Well, alright then. You are indeed so rich that I’m jealous!” Luo Heng kept them while giggling.
Then, they continued their travels on the sixth grade spaceship of Yuan Qi. It was faster and more luxurious. More importantly, it was so tough that it could crash planets easily.
Before they entered the dark universe, Luo Heng shared a message which he had just received.
“The appearance of the Specter Secret Realm?” Jiang Ming frowned.
“Yes, it’s the Specter Secret Realm!” Luo Heng nodded. “It’s the message that I received from my senior brother. It’s also been shared on the intranet, causing an uproar. It just appeared at the border of the human race. Brother Jiang, do you want to go?”
“Do you want to go?” Jiang Ming asked back.
“Of course!” Luo Heng nodded and then shook his head. “But I’d be a small fry only if I were to go! Alas, the appearance of the Specter Secret Realm is akin to an adversity. Even with my current cultivation base, I can merely be a spectator at the outer circle!”
“Indeed!” Jiang Ming hesitated.
He wanted to visit the human race’s region, and gain knowledge and experience about the wonders of the universe. But at the same time, he wanted to go around the Specter Secret Realm too.
He learned from Yuan Qi’s memory that the Specter Secret Realm was a peculiar secret realm. Each time it was opened, its location would be different. It would also produce a great amount of rare items of the universe, hence attracting millions of clans competing against each other to enter into it.
Of course, such a great encounter was accompanied by great dangers. Each opening would take away the life of more than half of the living beings who entered into it. The worst death ratio was even up to 95 percent, which was horrifying.
Each opening lasted only for 1,000 years. Everyone entering would be expelled out when time was up.
Luo Heng collected more information and shared some of the secrets he had found. “The Specter Secret Realm only prohibits the entrance of the Supreme experts, and nothing else. The secret realm would have many rare items of the universe, and peerless divine weapons. A Supreme vessel used to be found, and that created a massive uproar. Some inference said that the Specter Secret Realm is connected to the origin of the universe or it wouldn’t have so many precious items of the universe.”
“Of course, the strongest evidence for this inference is that the location of the Specter Secret Realm is different each time. Based on the statistics, its locations are distributed throughout the universe. Moreover, there is no place other than the origin of the universe that is capable of producing such a great amount of treasures of the universe.”
“Alas, that’s a desirable place! The time interval between each appearance would take at least millions of epochs. An epoch is equivalent to 129,600 years. Sometimes, it’d even take 10 billions of epochs!”
“The next opening after this would take a very long time! Alas, it’d be best if it opens only after 10,000 years. By that time, I’d have a higher competence to enter!”
Luo Heng sighed as he said.
“I think this inference is most likely the truth.” Jiang Ming nodded. The various conditions of the Specter Secret Realm itself were pointed at the origin of the universe. He beamed, “Since it can produce supreme weapons like the Supreme vessel, its fortune must be extraordinarily terrifying. Fortunately, it prohibits the entrance of Supreme experts. Brother Luo, let’s go find out since you want to go.”
“This is awesome, Brother Jiang! Appreciate that!” Luo Heng was ecstatic.
