Chapter 238 – Chaotic Star Sea’s Guardian (2/2)
“How can that be?! Brother Lightning, no matter what, you have to follow us two back so we can properly thank you!”
In fact, a big rock had been removed from Lei Yu’s heart now. From the death of the Manor Lord and the burly guy, the was considered having atoned for the guilt from the Tian Family’s Town massacre. Lei Yu felt much more at ease now so there was no need to continue staying in this place. His worry for Ai Er and his big brother Nuo Hu did not diminish one bit, and his anxiety was actually increasing.
“There’s really no need, I’ve accepted the goodwill and kind thoughts of you two. There’s really something important I must do right away!” Lei Yu’s tone was very firm. The two knew further persuasion would be of no use, so they could only nod their heads.
“Brother Lightning, when you have free time, remember to come back so we can get together!” Said Yanrong in a boisterous manner.
“That’s of course. Oh right, when you return, let Tian Dan Er know that once I’m free, I will go see him!”
“Don’t worry, I will.” Replied Tian Ye with a nod.
“Brother Tian Ye, there’s one thing I would like to ask you.” Said Lei Yu.
“There’s no need to be so polite brother Lightning, just go ahead and ask away!”
Lei Yu nodded and slowly asked: “I… I heard from your father that you had previously entered the Immortal World before?”
“That’s right, I’ve been there. But due to some reasons, those so called big schools and sects rejected me. I’m so ashamed!”
“Then I want to ask: What exactly does the inner depths of the Chaotic Star Sea have? And why did those Guardians say that anyone who surpasses the Gold Core stage aren’t allowed to stay in the outer periphery?”
After hearing Lei Yu’s question, the two seemed to understanding something. Tian Ye then replied: “The inner depths of the Chaotic Star Sea is a place where fishes and dragons are mixed together¹, any unique people or strange beasts may appear and is extremely dangerous. In the Chaotic Star Sea and the Immortal World, as long as someone has the strength, they have the right to kill. This is a world for the strong and the weak can only act servile or else they would face death. In the Chaotic Star Sea, there’s only one path that no one dares to tread on, and that’s the only pathway from the Immortal World to the Mortal World. Only that place is the safest. But the Chaotic Star Sea is boundless, so wanting to find that pathway is next to impossible. Even if you do somehow find it, without enough crystal stones, the Guardians will kick you out.”
After hearing Tian Ye’s explanation, Lei Yu finally understood why the Immortal World’s Void Sect, Skywalk Sect, and Violet Gold Hall were able to successfully send forth people into the Mortal World. Not only did they pay the Guardians the so-called “road toll,” the path they took did not have any danger whatsoever. Otherwise as Tian Ye said, the depths of the Chaotic Star Sea was filled with danger; wanting to cross it with a low level cultivation was harder than ascending to heaven!
But Lei Yu didn’t have those crystal stones mentioned, and even if he did, he only had two of them on hand. Plus, this was something the old man had given him to express his gratitude. There was also no way Lei Yu would be able to find this safe direct path through the Chaotic Star Sea so there was only one option he could choose: Go straight through this fearsome Chaotic Star Sea!
