Spirit Realm - Chapter 1816: Sage?
"Hahaha, Old Man, you came back alive!"
The Flame Emperor flew into the sky and looked at the intersection point of the thunder and lightning with an excited expression.
The Ice Emperor also had a happy expression.
"Hm! Is this ... Sky Bearing City?"
The Thunder Emperor floated above the sky and looked down at the vast city, not quite believing the reality.
When he learned the God Race was about to invade, he had hurriedly traveled back and accidentally fallen into Dark Shadow World. He had not returned until today.
During this time, great changes had occurred in Spirit Realm, but he knew nothing of them.
He was stepping into the lands of Spirit Realm for the first time after twenty thousand years. According to his predictions, Spirit Realm should not have become like this.
There were too many members of races from other realms in Sky Bearing City. The Star Moon race, the Winged Race, the Bone Race, the Multihand Race. Many of the bloodline warriors that ranked near the top of the universe were appearing in Sky Bearing City.
There were many realm entrances clearly connected to other realms in Sky Bearing City's sky and the foreign races’ clansmen were moving in and out.
This prosperous scene stunned the Thunder Emperor.
"The time is different. You have just returned and most likely do not know the reason." The Flame Emperor laughed in satisfaction. "Our Spirit Realm is the center of the universe right now. Several hundred races have allied with Spirit Realm. Even if you explored the entire universe, you wouldn’t find a place more busy and prosperous than Spirit Realm. Have you ever expected it? The three of us fought with our lives for the change that Spirit Realm will one day join the universe, but the three of us were unable to accomplish it."
"After we left, Qin Family's Qin Lie managed to reach our wishes in a short few centuries!"
"You and I are living in a good time!"
The Flame Emperor had a bright smile as he explained the present situation to the Thunder Emperor and told him of Qin Lie's merits.
"Qin Lie? The boy of the Qin Family?" The Thunder Emperor was shocked.
"Long time no see." Qin Shan flew into the sky and smiled at the Thunder Emperor. "Congratulations on returning alive from the Dark Shadow World."
"How did you come back?" Qin Lie said gravely.
"You are... a member of the Soul Race?" The Thunder Emperor glanced at Qin Lie and said in shock, "The Soul Race and Spirit Realm have allied?"
"He is Qin Lie!" the Flame Emperor explained.
"Qin Lie?" The Thunder Emperor was even more shocked.
"Thunder Emperor, how did you come back from the Dark Shadow World?" Qin Hao repeated Qin Lie's words.
"Yes, how did you return?" the Flame Emperor asked.
The other human race experts looked in shock at the Thunder Emperor and anticipated his answer.
At this time, a bright light flashed in from the distance.
A moment later, that light turned into a thin old man.
"Master!"
Chen Lin and Miao Yizi exclaimed, tears welling up.
"Qin Shan!" the old man shouted.
"Shang Mou!" Qin Shan answered.
Qin Lie's eyes were dark and his expression turned grim as he looked at the Thunder Emperor and then Shang Mou.
The Thunder Emperor and Shang Mou had originally been trapped in Dark Shadow World. Shang Mou had been pulled into a place filled with the Light of Annihilation and… should have died long ago.
And now, when shadow beings were preparing for a major invasion, the Thunder Emperor and Shang Mou who should not have been able to escape the Dark Shadow World, magically returned. His instincts were tingling.
"I encountered a sage in a secret land of the Dark Shadow World. We exchanged our cultivation knowledge. Through him, I comprehended some unique laws of power and I think I’ve found a way to reach the ultimate realm." The Thunder Emperor thought for a while and said, "With the help of that sage, I returned to Spirit Realm. The sage thought that since I am from a race of Spirit Realm, I should attempt my breakthrough in my homeworld, so I returned and am preparing for my breakthrough."
"You also encountered that sage?" Shang Mou said in wonder.
"You too?" The Thunder Emperor was surprised.
"Just like you, I encountered a strange being in a mysterious place of the Dark Shadow World. He called himself sage. Your experiences are the same as mine. I also exchanged cultivation knowledge with him," Shang Mou narrated.
"You were both in the same secret place of the Dark Shadow World and... did not encounter each other?" Qin Shan frowned.
Shang Mou and the Thunder Emperor shook their heads.
"Ding ding ding!"
A string of bells in Qin Ye's hands suddenly gave an ear-piercing sound. He touched the bell and listened intently.
A moment later, Qin Ye frowned and said, "The old patriarch of the Demon Dragon Race, Abrit, has returned to Dragon Realm!"
"Ah!"
At such words, the people of Sky Bearing City all couldn't help but shout in shock.
"Not just so." Qin Ye took a deep breath, his expression stern. "The peak experts from the Bone Race, the Winged Race, and the Spirit Race that had been trapped in Dark Shadow World before have returned!"
"Why is it like this? This is impossible!" Qin Hao frowned.
"Old Master Qin, an elder of the Star Moon Race has returned!" A member of the Star Moon Race hurriedly came in and excitedly told everyone.
"Haha! One of the elders of the Multihand Race that has disappeared for three million years has returned!” a Multihand Race member said excitedly.
"Everyone, we just received news that the previous leader of the Three-Eyed Race has returned!"
“……”
The many powerful races from other realms that allied with Spirit Realm all came to give notice after receiving the recent news.
Qin Lie floated midair, listening to the succession of news with a dark expression.
In just a few moments, he heard of more than a dozen of peak experts escaping the Dark Shadow World.
Those experts were mostly people from the previous era and had been trapped in the Dark Shadow World while exploring outer realms in hope of finding an inspiration to reach the ultimate realm.
This was due to a rumor that the secrets to reaching the ultimate realm were within the Dark Shadow World.
That rumor wasn’t circulating in just Spirit Realm. These rumors were known in all the realms!
This caused many foreign race experts that reached the peak of rank ten bloodline to think of ways to reach the Dark Shadow World in hopes of finding a secret to breaking through the limit.
These experts once famed throughout the universe were people from the last era, or the last few.
Most of the patriarchs and leaders at present were their juniors.
Their sudden return would cause great uncertainty in the universe. Qin Lie felt great danger.
"Sage, that sage... may be the Saint God of the shadow beings," Qin Lie thought.
"Master, what is your plan after your return?" Miao Yizi asked softly.
Shang Mou gave a small smile and said, "Very simple. I will attempt to break through to the ultimate realm with the spatial arts I have comprehended in these years!"
"My goal is the same!" the Thunder Emperor said with a smile.
"It seems the old patriarch of the Demon Dragon Race, Abrit, has gone immediately into seclusion in Dragon Realm." Qin Ye's brows were deeply furrowed. "Abrit has already begun breaking through!"
"We will also search for places to have our breakthroughs!" Shang Mou said interestedly.
Seeing the excited Thunder Emperor and Shang Mou, Qin Lie's eyes flashed with green light. He said, "No, you cannot cause upheaval at this time."
"Hm?"
The Thunder Emperor frowned and his smile faded. He glanced at Qin Lie. "Boy, what do you mean?"
Shang Mou looked over in displeasure.
"The sage you encountered in the secret place inside the Dark Shadow World should be the Saint God of the shadow beings. He released you to return at this time to destroy the universe," Qin Lie said gravely.
"The Saint God of the shadow beings?" The Thunder Emperor stilled, and shook his head. "I do not care who he is. Regardless, I have waited too many years to reach the ultimate realm. I do not want to delay even an instant!"
"No one can stop me!" Shang Mou stated.
