"Brother Yi, you have arrived." Seeing Yi Zhou arrive, Jun Xiaoyao smiled slightly.
"The World Core is, after all, the most mysterious place in the Sea of Realms. I wonder if I might join in the fun?" Yi Zhou said with a faint smile.
"Of course you can." Jun Xiaoyao nodded.
Following this, the various factions had gathered more or less. Jun Xiaoyao swept his gaze across them, then summoned the nine fengshen tokens.
The nine fengshen tokens expanded in the Void Realm until they were as tall as a person, then arranged themselves into a special formation.
Spatial fluctuations emerged, and the Void Realm rippled like the surface of water, creating waves. In the center of the nine God-Sealing Steles, a black hole-like passage appeared.
Those on the periphery could only see that within this passage, there were various brilliant, bizarre, and colorful divine lights. It was permeated with an unimaginably transcendent Origin aura.
Many people felt their Realm Bottleneck loosen just by sensing this aura.
"Is the other side of the passage the World Core? It is truly an unimaginable place." "What a pity, we are old and lack potential. If we could have received this baptism earlier, it would have been of immense benefit." The big shots and old antiques from the surrounding factions all clicked their tongues and sighed endlessly.
However, this kind of Opportunity cannot be sought after. In the past in the Sea of Realms, there had never been an existence like Jun Xiaoyao who had reached the summit of the nine God-Sealing Steles.
Jun Xiaoyao looked at the other side of the passage and was the first to enter directly. The rest of the Yun Clan Prodigies, as well as the subordinates and followers beside Jun Xiaoyao, followed closely behind. After that, the rest of the factions also entered.
Emperor Son Sansheng was shrouded in hazy divine brilliance. His gaze also fell toward the end of the passage, his expression carrying a hint of something inexplicable. He then stepped inside as well.
Before long, all the Prodigies qualified to enter the World Core had entered the passage.
"I wonder what gains they will have this time." "I, on the other hand, feel that it might not be too peaceful." The Cultivators from the surrounding factions discussed and waited there.
On the other side, the Void Realm shifted. After Jun Xiaoyao and the others stepped into the spatial passage, the world spun, and the Universe seemed to turn upside down. After an unknown amount of time, the scene before Jun Xiaoyao stabilized.
Looking around, he had arrived in a profound space. It felt like a boundless Void Gazer Universe. It had no borders at all. Nebulae flowed, and great stars rotated. A vast and boundless, resplendent galaxy was scattered across the dark cosmic canopy.
Jun Xiaoyao and the others felt as if they had reached the end of the Universe. It looked dead silent and very quiet here, with only them, the intruders, present.
"This is... the World Core..." A Prodigy was dazed. With every breath they took, they felt the power of the Origin pouring into their nasal cavities. This entire world was filled with a rich aura of the Universe's Origin. Even just by breathing, one could Cultivate the power of the Origin.
"What a rich Origin aura! You definitely couldn't find such a treasure land anywhere else in the Sea of Realms!" A Prodigy's eyes shone, and he couldn't help but want to sit down and Cultivate immediately.
Cultivating in the World Core would definitely be leaps and bounds; the speed of Cultivation compared to the outside world was like heaven and earth. However, many people suppressed the excitement in their hearts. They knew that there might be other good fortunes in the depths of the World Core.
"Let's go." Jun Xiaoyao swept a glance, then took his people and began to venture deep into the World Core.
Additionally, the Prodigies of the Xuanyuan Clan, the Sansheng Hall, as well as Yi Zhou and others, all kept their distance and began to venture deep. Because previously, not many people had entered the World Core, and they were unclear about the situation within the World Core, everyone present remained cautious and alert.
However, venturing deep along the way, they did not discover any danger. And that power of the Universe's Origin became increasingly rich.
The further they went into the depths of the World Core, the more magnificent the scene became. The starry expanse was vast, galaxies hung down, and everywhere was filled with resplendent divine brilliance, blinding to the eyes. Those were all rich powers of the Origin, seemingly turned into substance, dissipating and flowing in the Void Realm.
And just at this moment, ahead, a boundless lake appeared. That's right, a lake! With thousands of rays of light, it was boundless, bizarre, and colorful. It seemed to be a lake formed by the gathering of the power of the endless world origin of the Universe. It could be called the Lake of Origin.
Immediately, some Prodigies couldn't help themselves, their eyes turning red, and they waded into the Lake of Origin, wanting to Cultivate. But a moment later, a scream came. That Prodigy was in extreme pain, discovering that the lower leg he had waded into the Lake of Origin had disintegrated and melted, his flesh and blood separating!
He hurriedly retreated, activating life-force techniques, wanting to recover. But he discovered it was difficult to recover. "How could this be?" Someone was horrified.
"This Lake of Origin contains special powers of life and death and rules of life and death. Those with insufficient strength cannot venture deep." Jun Xiaoyao saw through many mysteries of the Lake of Origin at a glance and said indifferently.
Hearing this, many Prodigies showed dim expressions. This was like a mountain of gold placed before them, yet they could hardly obtain it. Obviously, the deeper one went into the Lake of Origin, the more benefits one would receive. However, many Prodigies might only be able to Cultivate at the edge of the Lake of Origin, or even just on the shore, unable to wade into the lake. This was not the fault of others, but only their own limited abilities.
Following this, some Prodigies also began to sit down or try to step into the Lake of Origin.
"You all be careful as well, do not force yourselves, act according to your ability." Jun Xiaoyao turned his head and warned his people. Everyone nodded. The Lake of Origin was a rare and great Opportunity; no one wanted to give up, but they would also act according to their ability.
Next, Jun Xiaoyao also stepped into the Lake of Origin. His Physical Body shone with light, every inch of his skin and bone seeming to be sculpted by the clever hands of heaven, crystalline and flawless. Even the rules of life and death in the Lake of Origin could hardly contaminate Jun Xiaoyao's body. Like an undying deity in white, he began to cross the Lake of Origin.
"This..." Seeing that Jun Xiaoyao's Physical Body was completely unaffected by the Lake of Origin, all the surrounding Prodigies' pupils trembled endlessly. This was the gap between them and Jun Xiaoyao; even their Physical Bodies could not compare—it was like heaven and earth.
Afterward, Emperor Son Sansheng also stepped forward. His figure was always shrouded in boundless divine brilliance, and stepping into the Lake of Origin, he was also like a crossing deity. "Emperor Son Sansheng is truly not to be underestimated..." Some Prodigies' hearts trembled.
However, there was one more person who also began to cross the Lake of Origin with ease. It was actually Yi Zhou of Shenji Tower. "Eh, he actually has this capability too..." Some people saw Yi Zhou and showed expressions of surprise. Compared to Jun Xiaoyao and Emperor Son Sansheng, Yi Zhou's reputation was limited to him being the world-traveling representative of Shenji Tower. And he generally did not take action, wandering among the various factions. So the other Prodigies did not expect that Yi Zhou also had this capability.
Next, the various Prodigies began to try to cross the Lake of Origin and enter deeper. In the very front were Jun Xiaoyao, Emperor Son Sansheng, and Yi Zhou. Of course, the likes of Yun Xi, Yun Daoyi, and others were not slow either, following closely behind. After that were some ancient Prodigies, such as the Three Heroes of Xuanyuan and others. Many people were very curious: what was in the depths of the Lake of Origin?
