Vol 27 Chapter 8 (1/2)

Book 27, Twelve Palaces, Chapter 8 – The Archaeus Region

As the al beast, so at another part of the imperial palace, a place where there were thirteen royal thrones

One of the thrones was as white as snow The other twelve were golden in color

A white-bearded, snowy-robed old man with six horns was seated atop the snohite throne The other twelve golden thrones were occupied by twelve golden-arures, and Daolord Woodfloas one of them

“I have su I wish to discuss with you” The six-horned, white-bearded old ained a new ifts, and in a thousand short years he’s ed to escape the abyss below the Astral Islands Even ast my Imperials, he is a rare breed who stands at the very top”

“Congratulations, Hegemon”

“I a’ level of power in your clan”

“The Brightshore Iained yet another expert”

The twelve golden-ared to the Twelve Palaces, and they all spoke some words of flattery Still, these words were also words of truth The dark abyss below the Astral Islands was reserved for te new , the newthe outside world alone and didn’t really have any good teachers Most of the period of ti its trials In addition, the Imperials were so few in number that every new addition to their race was a cause for celebration A new Imperial as exceptionally talented was even more precious

The alemon bea fellow is so talented that I wish to send him into one of the alternate universes”

“Alternate universe?”

“An alternate universe?”

The faces of the twelve golden-arures turned pale

“Hegemon, none of us have ever been to that place before” They all began to worry

“Don’t worry,” the Hege on the Dao of spacetime, I once discovered traces of a completely different universe within the flows of spacetime and opened up a transversal conduit to it Our two universes have different essences, which has an impact on my transversal conduit Only those below the Daolord level of power are able to enter… but I was able to let my will slowly seep into that alternate universe and seduce some of its local lifeforms to come to our universe Quite a few World-level cultivators froh one through theirthat universe”

The Hegemon had discovered an alternate universe, had opened a transversal conduit to it, and then had been able to force his will through the conduit, even though he hih it

The al!

“But… that’s still an alternate universe” The twelve golden-armored poere all quite wary

The ‘Endless Territories’…

It was a place that was so incredibly vast that it was still filled with many places which no one had ever explored Many who broke through to become Eternal Emperors eventually left to wander the territories, only to never be heard froreatest powers this infinitely vast region known as the ‘Endless Territories’ was actually le ‘universe’

Each universe had its own priion which seemed similar but which had its own set of prime essences For example, the prime essence of the Dao of the Sword in this universe would be different from that of the alternate universe Thus, one could easily sense when one was in an alternate universe, as even the prime essences would be different

“When I sent my will into that alternate universe, I was able to scan quite a few chaosworlds close to the exit ofthis universe for s about it There aren’t that many differences between our two universes The main difference is that cultivators in the Endless Territories are spread out across anizations, but the alternate universe has a single unified power ruling over it”

The Hegemon continued, “In the alternate universe, there is a place known as the Archaeus region Countless cultivators in that universe deeply desire to enter the Archaeus region, and evena chance to enter it However, only a tiny number are able to enter it… but those who enter and then cothened drah it erous, cultivators who live in perfect safety will get soft They won’t be able to make it far on their paths”

“When you live on the edge between life and death, you’ll encounterfellow’s level of talent is so great that it is rare even aerous regions for hiion of the alternate universe is the first place and an extremely important place If he can survive it, he’ll definitely have undergone utterly earthshaking transformations In addition, once he is able to unify the mysteries of both our universe and the alternate universe, his future potential will be truly unliemon said

The twelve golden-arly interested as they listened to the Hegemon speak

It was true that the path of cultivation had to be a path filled with danger Only by experiencingone’s path For exa out adventuring, how strong could he possibly becoone to the AllGod Estate, then to the Brightshore Kingdo, so quickly
