Chapter 112: Gods(Double Chapter)
In the land between two of the major forces, the Secret Sect and the Blood God Temple, a small sect existed, the Greenwood Sect.
The Greenwood Sect was located at a vast empty plain and although it was quite small compared to the major forces, it still had many disciples.
This was because of the lack of friction between the two major forces.
After all, just like the name of the sect would suggest, most of the members of Secret Sect lurked in secret and they would rarely fight with other cultivators over treasures.
With no conflict of interest existing between these two forces, there was no reason for them to fight at all.
This allowed the Greenwood Sect, who only had a single cultivator at the Supernatural Realm to survive until now and slowly get bigger and bigger.
"As long as the current situation continues, I'll surely be able to break through my realm and make the Greenwood Sect a major force."
"I'm destined to fulfill my predecessor's dreams! My name is bound to go down in history!"
Wu Wuhuan, the ancestor of the Greenwood Sect thought secretly as he flew in the sky and looked at the Greenwood Sect below.
The cheerful atmosphere and the happy disciples that were working hard to improve their cultivation caused a smile to appear on his face.
He felt that everything was going as planned!
Just as he was having that thought and he was about to return to seclusion, Wu Wuhuan suddenly raised his head and looked at the space above him.
The next moment, the space above him cracked and the next second, a black object flew out and floated in the air.
"What is this?", Wu Wuhuan spoke unconsciously.
Looking at the floating black object, his eyes flashed with a hint of greed.
As a cultivator at the Supernatural Realm, Wu Wuhuan knew very well that the world he was living in was not the only one.
Outside this world, there are countless smaller and bigger worlds, as well as countless powerful practitioners.
However, for a cultivator to be able to travel around these worlds, they have to be able to survive inside the space cracks.
This means that only cultivators that surpass the Supernatural Realm are able to do so.
Since this black object was able to survive inside the space cracks, it meant that its essence was extremely high.
"Hahaha! It seems that God has blessed my Greenwood Sect!", Wu Wuhuan laughed loudly and he instantly appeared in front of the black object.
It was only now that Wu Wuhuan paid attention to the identity of this object, and he found that it was in the shape of a cube, while its color was pitch black.
This black cube looked quite ordinary, but Wu Wuhuan wasn't fooled by its appearance and reached out to grab it.
However, just when his hand was only a few centimeters away from the cube, all of a sudden, the cube started shaking.
Before Wu Wuhuan could react, a dazzling golden light flew out of the cube and submerged his entire figure.
There was no screaming, no struggle, no sound at all, but when the light disappeared, the figure of Wu Wuhuan had also disappeared with it.
As if the cube had received a supplement, a golden hue appeared on its surface and it moved, as if it was about to run away.
Unfortunately, before it could do so, a small space crack opened right in front of it.
A small human hand poked out of the space crack and fell towards the cube, grabbing it tightly.
The cube tried to struggle, but in front of this hand, its efforts proved to be completely meaningless.
Before long, the hand had returned back to the space crack, taking the black cube along with it.
This strange sequence of events didn't attract the attention of the members of the Greenwood Sect below and neither the elders nor the disciples knew that the only Supernatural Realm cultivator in the sect, the ancestor of the Greenwood Sect, had just died.
****
In a large hall, seven figures were standing around a black cube, looking at it with curiosity in their eyes.
Some of these figures were male and some female, some were young and some were old, but they all had one common characteristic: their aura was extremely strong, far surpassing the ancestor of the Greenwood Sect.
Surprisingly, these seven people were all leaders of the major forces.
"Fellow Taoist Yi, it seems that your prediction has come true once again.", one of these figures, a young man with red hair spoke, glancing at the old man next to him.
The old man was secretly happy and he subconsciously stroked his beard, but his words were quite modest:
"Hahaha, Fellow Taoist Xiang, it's all because of the help of the Sect's Magic Weapon. Compared to the Blood God Palace of your temple, the Omniscient Compass is nothing."
Saying this, Yi Tian, the ancestor of the Secret Sect played with the small blue compass that lay on his palm.
The Owner of the Blood God Temple didn't take his words to heart, but when his eyes landed on this small blue compass, he became solemn.
Although the Omniscient Compass had the weakest combat power out of all the well-known Magic Weapons, its ability to predict the future and calculate the Heaven's secrets was enough to make it extremely powerful.
"Are the Calamity Cult and the Great Compassion Sect missing again?"
"Don't they know the seriousness of the situation?", a discordant voice suddenly sounded out of nowhere.
The owner of this voice was a middle aged man and his every move contained majesty, while he held a small golden flag in his right hand.
"Is it surprising? Don't these idiots always pretend to be mysterious?", a cold, female voice answered and the hall seemed to freeze as a result of her words.
After she said this, the beautiful, mature woman turned her head and looked at the blurry figure that stood on the opposite side.
"Compared to the Calamity Cult and the Great Compassion Sect, I'm more interested to hear what happened to the Original Desire Sect. According to what I know, an unknown person invaded just not long ago."
"Has the Original Desire Sect become so weak?", she spoke in a mocking voice.
In response to her words, the Sect Leader of the Original Desire Sect, Destiny, only smiled slightly and then shook her head.
"I don't know what you're talking about. How could anyone dare to invade the Original Desire Sect?"
"Maybe you cut off too many of your emotions and you started hallucinating again."
"If you want to, I can break your head open and solve the problem for you."
Seeing the two people arguing, the people next to them rolled their eyes.
Everyone here was a leader of a major force and everyone knew each other very well.
It was not a secret at all that Destiny and the Hall Leader of the Ice God Hall had always been at odds and they had even fought against each other many times before.
This had nothing to do with the conflict between the evil and the righteous forces, but it was because of their respective philosophies.
The Ice God Hall is a force that only accepts female members and it advocates that cultivators should cut off their human emotions in order to increase their strength.
Members of this force particularly disdain human emotions such as love, lust, happiness, etc.
Obviously, a sect that advocates acting according to one's desires and practicing dual cultivation like the Original Desire Sect is bound to be the Ice God Hall's natural enemy.
Even if there was no conflict of interest between them, the two would take every opportunity to fight against each other.
"Cough, cough, everyone. Why don't we put our differences aside for the time being?", an old man spoke up and even though he just stood there silently, he seemed like an unsheathed sword that was ready to strike.
"That's right."
"What Fellow Taoist is saying is true."
The other leaders also spoke up, trying to mediate the two people's conflict.
"Hmph!", the Hall Leader of the Ice God Temple snorted coldly, but she didn't argue any further.
Seeing that the fight had stopped before it started, Yi Tian breathed sigh of relief and spoke up:
"I believe that everyone here knows that our world is going to come into contact with another world in just a few months."
"Since we can't be sure how strong that other world is, we can only prepare ourselves and collect as much information as we can."
"If the two worlds are similar in strength, we can try to negotiate to obtain the other world's resources. If the other world is weaker than ours, there is no reason to negotiate at all."
As for what would happen if that world was stronger than theirs?
In everyone's mind, this was simply impossible!
Their world had come into contact with many other worlds before and these worlds had always been weaker than theirs.
This made these leaders very confident that this time would be the same.
The leaders around didn't interrupt Yi Tian, but let him continue.
After all, although Yi Tian might not be the strongest among them, he was surely the most knowledgeable.
The Secret Sect had possessed the Omniscient Compass for countless years and it was unknown just how much information the Secret Sect had collected during this time.
"From what we know so far, the practitioners in that world don't call themselves cultivators, but refer to themselves as Gods."
"Each God possesses a Godhead which is similar to our Authority and they open up a Kingdom of God.", Yi Tian explained and he subconsciously looked at the black cube in front of him.
In his eyes, this cube was not a cube at all, but an entire world.
This world consisted of a sky, a land and carried many living creatures, including humans and other intelligent races.
"This item should be a Kingdom of God that for some reason fell to our world.", Yi Tian said and he wanted to continue, but he was rudely interrupted.
"Fellow Taoist Yi, get to the point! Why did you call us here?", the Hall Leader of the Ice God Hall was starting to become impatient.
Just get to the point old man! What's up with all this nonsense?
"Cough, cough.", Yi Tian couldn't help but cough in embarrassment when he saw that everyone's expression was filled with dissatisfaction.
"This should be a world opened up by one of these Gods. I believe that as long as we study it, we should be able to find more information about that world.", he hurriedly explained.
"Unfortunately, it seems that this world has been damaged."
"With our strength, if we try to go in, it will surely shatter.", Destiny suddenly spoke up and voiced everyone's thoughts.
In response, Yi Tian nodded his head: "That's right. That's why I called everyone here today."
"Although we are personally unable to go in, if we try, we can still open a small entrance that allows cultivators below the Awakening Realm to enter."
After he said this, he looked around, but found that everyone seemed uninterested.
Seeing this, Yi Tian could only grit his teeth and speak again:
"According to my prediction, this Kingdom of God should contain the inheritance of one of the so-called Gods."
Hearing this, the everyone's expression changed.
"I think that Fellow Taoist Yi's idea is good! We should all cooperate and each let our disciples go in!"
"That's right! As long as one of them gets the inheritance, we will be able to find more about that world. We can then better protect our world!"
Yi Tian rolled his eyes when he heard these words.
He knew very well that the reason why these people were so willing was not to help their world, but because they felt that the inheritance of a God might be useful to them.
As for saying that they would share the inheritance?
Yi Tian believed that this would only happen if the inheritance wasn't valuable enough.
If the inheritance was valuable, let alone sharing it, these people would surely fight against each other over it.
"I always have a hunch that something is going to go wrong.", Yi Tian thought and he couldn't help but recall that pair of indifferent eyes that were able to hurt him with just a glance.
"I hope that nothing goes wrong.", he prayed secretly.
While everyone was excited about the inheritance of a God and Yi Tian was worried about the fate of this world, no one noticed that under the golden veil, a slight smile had appeared on Destiny's face.
