Chapter 847 - Origin of the Lower Realm (2/2)

“That is very simple: the reason why I would come here was precisely because I was ordered to come to carry out investigation, verifying if this small world is actually that which the ultimate elites are targeting. It’s just that I was suppressed as soon as I arrived.” The Asura Demon Emperor was evidently somewhat disheartened.

“Then how did you verify this?” at last Ling Han was showing interest.

“Given that this piece of land has appeared in the Immortal Realm before, it would inevitably have acquired the aura of the Immortal Realm. Although its traces has been dealt with very thoroughly, I still managed to catch a whiff of the Immortal Realm’s aura emanating from within the land’s core.” The Asura Demon Emperor then proudly boasted, “It’s not that I want to brag, but only our group of talented individuals possess this kind of ability; otherwise, I would not have been a.s.signed to come here.”

Ling Han pondered for a while, then queried, “The Netherworld delegated numerous beings similar to you with the task to search various small worlds?”

“Young Master Han, you are really clever, absolutely spot on!” The Asura Demon Emperor did not hesitate to curry favor; after all, his little life was now absolutely in Ling Han’s hands.

Ling Han could not help being engrossed in his thoughts. If the Lower Realm had originally been a small world, had split open the skies once before, and yet degenerated into a small world due to certain unfathomable reasons later, then that was all certainly too astounding.

Even the ultimate elites from the Immortal Realm and the Netherworld were all astir, proving that even they were not capable of such a feat, which was why it aroused their interest. It even succeeded in attracting the attention of the originally unrelated Netherworld, prompting them to dispatch a large number of individuals to enter the small world to conduct the search.

He could not stop his heartbeat from accelerating—could it be that the thing that these ultimate elites were searching for was actually the Black Tower?

Small Tower kept on saying that if it were to use its full strength, it was capable of destroying the Lower Realm, but would also attract the true ultimate elites to make a move to seize it at the same time. As such, even if it had great, impressive power, it could not put it to good use, but rather needed to first restore itself. In that way, it could then suppress its aura when it actually did exert its strength, not letting the ultimate elites from the Immortal Realm sense it.

Ling Han took a deep breath. If it could let a small world ascend into the Immortal Realm by splitting open the skies and turn back into a small world again, what kind of impressive ability could that be?

Black Tower… What kind of background could it actually have?

The Indestructible Heaven Scroll could let his physique achieve the toughness of a rare metal a level higher than his Tier, and this was still the strength of the first layer of the cultivation technique. In that case, how high would the strength of the second and third layer of cultivation techniques be?

Who created the Black Tower? How did they fall into decline? As strong as the Black Tower was, it was even seriously damaged… Who could have done it?

Ling Han only felt that the more he knew, the more unanswered questions there were.

He shook his head, and kept all of this at the bottom of his heart—he could slowly examine it in the future after he entered into the Immortal Realm. For example, he’d check who was the lead in splitting open the skies the last time.

Also, the Mountain and River Axe would not actually be forged by that person, would it?

“Hehe, Young Master Han, can I go now?” the Asura Demon Emperor asked as a crude smile spread over his face.

Ling Han also smiled, and replied, “What do you think?”

A look of disappointment crossed the Asura Demon Emperor’s face. He also knew that this secret was too serious, so Ling Han would absolutely not allow him to tell anybody else. It seemed that he was likely to be held captive here for life.

The surroundings here were quite nice, and the place was also big; furthermore, there were Spiritual Herbs all over the place… though he did not need Spiritual Herbs. However, the people were really too scarce here, making him feel very unaccustomed to it.

“You just stay here. If your behavior is good, I can let you out to catch a breath of fresh air,” Ling Han said. When he really advanced to the Shattering Void Tier would be the time he let out the Asura Demon Emperor, and could manipulate him as he wished then.

Hu Niu’s injuries healed very swiftly. This little girl was also a weird one; now her body had another additional G.o.dly egg, so who knew what kind of changes would happen to her.

“We’ll go back first!”

Ling Han and Hu Niu got out from the Black Tower, and returned to the Imperial Capital. This time, Xiao Miaoyan, Yang Guan, and the Asura Demon Emperor all had been dealt with already, so the only powerful elite left at large was an Eighteen-eyed Corpse King of the Thousand Corpse Sect.

So much easier to deal with.
