Chapter 271 - Lesser Void World’s Lang Ya Board (1/2)
The more Zhong Yue came to understand about the existences sealed within the Seal Suppression Hall, the greater his apprehension towards the fate of Swords Gate grew. But he knew that needlessly worrying would not be of any help at all.
Only with strength can I protect my kin….
Zhong Yue sighed as he lamented the fact that the Great Wilderness was the only faint light of hope that humanity had in an otherwise dark and bleak existence.
And in the darkness lurked dangerous beasts that all looked towards Swords Gate like wolf packs stalking their prey, waiting for that last light to extinguish before they finally plunge in and devour the entire human race.
The old man's imminent death didn't help this situation either!
The humans of the Great Wilderness would be in great danger at that time, and a new Sword God had to appear before that time came!
Ao Shanshan brought the two into the door behind the Wu Dao Celestial Being, and as they passed through the celestial being, Zhong Yue felt an intense battle intent surging towards him as if there were a god of war standing beside him!
To be able to possess such strong battle intent even after death, he was indeed a mighty existence !
As they entered the door, they felt the world spinning as if they entered a portal that warped them from one dimension to another.
Then, Xin Huo's voice could be heard saying, "This ain't teleportation, this is the dimension transportation technique that is much more complicated than just teleportation!"
"Xin Huo, you're awake?" Zhong Yue cried out with happy surprise as the little flame was mad at him for at least almost two months before he went into slumber to ignore Zhong Yue.
"Don't talk to me. I am still angry!"
The little flame dude said, "But this Lesser Void World is strangely big. Fine, Master Xin Huo is a generous man, so you have his forgiveness for the time being. This Xiao Hou is very not bad; he is a great man who is on par with the Ancestral Dragon. Where you are standing right now is no longer the Ancestral Dragon as the door you passed through just now brought you to another dimension but as for where ... I have no idea."
Zhong Yue looked around in awe as in front of them was a vast and empty space that was even larger than the Ancestral Star by god knows how many times!
In the vast space, massive planets were hanging in the air very close to the ground; they seemed to be only a finger width away from them!
A true void would have nothing in them, no light, no sound, nothing – a real empty place, that was why spirit and souls could live on forever in the void.
And the lesser void created by Xia Hou was called as so because it could fit something in it.
And now, in between them and the empty space was an illuminating pale green barrier that extended from the left to the right for a distance that made its start and end point undiscernable.
"Amazing…." murmured Qiu Jin'er as she looked around.
This was a godly creation, a creation by a god!
The barrier was incredibly big and majestic with names carved onto the surface. Besides the names were rankings and incredibly realistic portraits of the people whose names were on the barrier.
Zhong Yue looked at the barrier, and he realized that there were humans, monsters, dragons and some other odd looking celestial races, as well as demons!
These names and portraits filled up the entire pale green barrier, and from time to time, some of these names would shine brightly, and some would turn dark.
These names belonged to those who entered the Lesser Void World right? Why do they shine and turn dark like that?
Zhong Yue looked around and found out that other than them, there were also Qi Practitioners from the other races that stood in front of the barrier. Some of them looked at the names on the barrier, while some walked towards the barrier before disappearing from his sight upon entering it.
"This is the Lang Ya Board, which is also known as the Greenhorn Board. One can enter the Lesser Void World after passing through the Lang Ya Board."
Ao Shanshan explained with a smile, "These names are the names of those who entered the Lesser Void World. Their strengths would determine their rankings, and the Lang Ya Board is split into four boards respectively – the Greenhorn Board, Warrior Board, the Godlike Board, and the Legendary Board. This board has been here since five millions of years ago. Most Qi Practitioners land on the Greenhorn Board and those with high rankings were already talented geniuses that appear only once in hundreds or even thousands of years. To be listed on the Warrior Board, the Qi Practitioners are generally magnate figures, and the Godlike Board is filled with the strongest figures throughout these five million years. Many of them had even gone on to become gods!"
"All the names of everyone were listed here for five million years?"
Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er were in awe as this scene in front of them was way too unbelievable. In these five million of years, countless warriors were born into the Ancestral Star, and countless of battles occurred in this star. There must have been a myriad of legacies and legends left behind across this vast span of time.
However, all of these were all buried by time and who could still remember the names of those who fought for their kin after a thousand years, not to mention after five million years.
Thus, no matter what purpose Xia Hou had in mind when he opened up this Lesser Void World, he did some good deeds for the later generations. He paved the path for Qi Practitioners to etch their names down in the records of history.
