Layers of divine light of order continuously bombarded the chaotic shield, while fragments of void, like billions of flying knives, relentlessly scraped against the outer light membrane.
David continuously mobilized the Chaos Origin to offset the pressure, steadily guarding the three women and protecting them from any harm.
After traversing countless miles of void, a faint golden-blue light gradually appeared at the edge of the void ahead.
We’ve arrived at the Twenty-Eighth Heaven.
Stepping out of the dimensional rift, the four landed steadily on a vast, boundless plateau.
The moment David stepped onto this land, he immediately sensed that the rules of heaven and earth here were completely different from those of the Twenty-Seventh Heaven.
The Heavenly Dao of the Twenty-Eighth Heaven is even more profound, and the concentration of the origin of heaven and earth is several times higher. The spiritual energy flowing in the air is no longer pure spiritual energy, but is mixed with a thin amount of the origin of the Dao.
The upper limit of this world is far higher than the twenty-seventh heaven. A ninth-rank Immortal Lord can only be considered a mid-level combat force here, and it is not uncommon for Immortal Kings to roam the world.
Looking up into the distance, one can see towering mountains piercing the sea of clouds, with naturally formed Dao patterns visible everywhere between the mountains and rivers, and the Daoist charm evolving on its own.
Ling Xiyue took a deep breath, her eyes filled with amazement: “Such rich Dao aura! Just standing here is enough to slowly nourish one’s Dao foundation.”
Su Qingyuan focused her senses on her surroundings and whispered, “The Twenty-Eighth Heaven has a vast territory with deeply entrenched forces, divided into many regions, and numerous powerful clans. It is far from being as easily subdued as the Twenty-Seventh Heaven. We must not act rashly.”
David shrugged, looking nonchalant, and laughed, “Don’t worry, let’s keep a low profile and first find out about the old monster Xuanxu.”
If someone foolishly comes knocking, just take care of them.
The plateau beneath our feet is called Wanren Plain, located on the edge of the southern region of the Twenty-Eight Heavens.
Numerous small cities and cultivator tribes are scattered across the plateau, with cultivators coming and going in an endless stream.
This place is near the entrance to the void interlayer, and many cultivators who travel through the void will stop here to rest. News travels very quickly here, making it an excellent place to gather intelligence.
The four of them suppressed most of their auras. David slightly altered his appearance, shedding his overwhelming pressure, and looked just like an ordinary Immortal Lord cultivator.
Su Qingyuan, Jiang Xuelan, and Ling Xiyue also concealed their cultivation levels, appearing as three female cultivators accompanying them.
They found a medium-sized city near the mountain pass, named Luoyun City.
The city was built against a giant mountain, and the city walls were cast from a mixture of ten-thousand-year-old black iron and mountain stones. The streets inside the city were wide, and cultivators could be seen setting up stalls everywhere, selling spiritual medicines, magic weapons, beast pills, and cultivation manuals on jade slips. The city was bustling with activity.
Teahouses and taverns of all sizes are scattered throughout the city, and travelers, independent cultivators, and sect disciples come and go in an endless stream, with all sorts of news circulating and spreading here.
They found a large restaurant by the river, and the four of them sat down in a private room by the window.
The waiter quickly stepped forward and served the spirit wine and several spirit dishes.
David picked up his wine cup, took a sip of the spiritual wine, glanced at the cultivators coming and going downstairs, and slowly said, “Let’s split up and gather information. Qingyuan, you go to the bookstores and intelligence shops in the city to ask around. Xuelan, go chat with the wandering cultivators in the city to inquire. Xiyue, you go to the tavern lobby to listen to the casual conversations of the cultivators coming and going.”
I’ll just sit here and watch the show. We’ll meet up here again in the evening and see if we can find any trace of the Xuanxu Old Monster.
The three nodded and each left the restaurant to gather intelligence.
David leaned against the window alone, slowly sipping his wine while observing the local customs and culture of Luoyun City.
Downstairs on the street, several cultivators were talking loudly about the major events that had recently occurred in the Southern Region.
“Have you heard? Not long ago, Immortal King Xuanfeng was searching for treasure in the void interlayer when he encountered a void storm, was seriously injured, and went into seclusion to heal his wounds.”
“The Canglan Sect in the Southern Region is currently vying for the Starfall Mine. Both sides have already set up their formations, and it seems that war will break out soon.”
“It is said that there is a Void Sculptor who travels through the Void Interlayer year-round. However, this person is extremely reclusive and rarely appears. He has been traveling alone for hundreds of thousands of years, and no one can find out his whereabouts.”
David’s ears twitched, and he sat up straight, his eyes lighting up.
The Void Shapes the Daoist!
That is indeed the title of the Mysterious Ruins Old Monster!
He quickly got up, went downstairs, and caught up with the monks who were talking.
These individuals were all independent cultivators who frequently traveled through the void in search of treasures, possessing extensive knowledge and experience.
