## Boat

The flying boat slowly descended. It was over three hundred meters long, and its entire body was golden. It appeared grand and luxurious, and countless formation runes shone brilliantly over its surface.

A red-robed, beautiful and graceful woman descended from the boat.

"Greetings, sect master!"

Including the vice sect master, everyone hastily bowed. Long Chen also awkwardly followed.

Ouyang Qiuyu nodded slightly. "All disciples can get on the boat now. The time is almost upon us."

## Great Dark War

"An immense, heaven-shaking battle was once fought in our world. That battle changed the very structure of the world, and the Martial Heaven Continent was split into five pieces. Those are the Eastern Wasteland, the Western Desert, the Southern Sea, the Northern Source, and the Central Plains," said Ouyang Qiuyu.

Everyone was shocked. So the five regions weren't natural, but the result of an immense battle. Then just what kind of shocking level had that battle reached?

"That battle happened so long ago that it's almost impossible to trace back. The legends say it was a battle of gods, but as for how trustworthy legends are, it's up to each person's personal judgment. However, that battle was truly terrifying. It happened so long ago that no one can remember it, but there were many places where space was destroyed.

"Although the world tries to recover, those old wounds left behind scars. As a result, there are many places in this world where space is too unstable to establish transportation formations," explained Ouyang Qiuyu.

## Mortal World, Multiverse, Wormholes

Zhong Wuyan asks: "Just what kind of world do we live in? What kind of existence is the Immemorial Path?"

Everyone else's ears perked up. This was also something that they all wanted to know as well.

"In regards to the structure of the world, even I am not sure about many things. This world is three-dimensional, but it is also a flat plane. Perhaps saying it like this is difficult for you to understand, so I'll put it another way.

"A transportation formation functions by folding space, making it so two spots connect, turning the distance between them to zero. But this is on the condition that space is stable, as well as finding the correct spatial node. If you want to know more about that, you would have to go find a Formation Master, and they would be able to give you a more detailed answer. Even my knowledge about it is limited.

"So, that is the explanation about how it is planar. But the world is also three-dimensional. Our world is surrounded by endless planar spaces as well. Perhaps that is too confusing.

"If I were to make an analogy, our world would be like a bubble, and there are also countless bubbles surrounding us. We're all tightly bunched together. It is also similar to a honeycomb, but we are surrounded by more than just six worlds. So don't think this is the only world out there.

"Furthermore, there are worlds beyond those outside worlds beside us. However, we are isolated by laws from those worlds, so we can't see them.

## Wangu Road

"The reason I am telling you all this is because the Immemorial Path is different from those secret realms you know of. Secret realms are simply the remains of destroyed worlds that exist within the cracks of space. But the Immemorial Path is its own world, one on the same level as ours.

"Rumor has it that the Immemorial Path is a trial left behind from the immortal era. The secrets of becoming an immortal or god are within it. However, that world was wrecked. The damage done to it was even greater than what was done to our world, and it almost completely collapsed.

"The laws within the Immemorial Path are incomplete. Once you enter, you may find that your power is sometimes restricted. But fortunately, the laws there are favorable to Celestials, and you'll still be able to summon your Cries of the Heavenly Daos."

"I'll just warn you this once. Once you enter the Immemorial Path, no matter who you are, your chances of surviving will definitely not be greater than fifty percent. This has nothing to do with cultivation base. In fact, stronger experts generally have higher mortality rates."

"What...? Why?"

"Because the stronger you are, the more things you'll be able to see within the Immemorial Path, things that others don't even have the qualifications to see. The principle is very simple: those who drown are people who know how to swim.

"On the one hand, because they are strong, they get conceited and challenge more difficult things. On the other hand, stronger people are more likely to run into stronger existences. And stronger existences cannot be beaten with just luck. So the stronger you are, the more likely you'll fall," said Ouyang Qiuyu.

Everyone nodded. High risk was accompanied by high rewards. And if you misjudged your abilities, that risk might take your life.

"To sum up, no matter what opportunities you run into inside, don't think about how you're going to obtain it first, but think about whether you'll have a life to enjoy it. Even if you obtain something, you might not have the power to keep it.

"That's all I have to tell you. Cultivators are all gamblers. If you win, you can soar and continue to the next bet. If you lose, everything will be over. There will be no chance to make a comeback!" After saying that, Ouyang Qiuyu no longer said anything.

Everyone's hearts became a bit heavy. However, Long Chen didn't feel any pressure. Compared to luck, he was more confident in his strength.

Three days passed. The flying boat finally began to slow down, and a barren land appeared before them. That land was covered with countless experts.
