Since the news spread, it attracted many experts, but so far, there are less than twenty Dou Venerates.
The arrival of the Great Heavenly Venerate of the Soul Hall made the atmosphere within the Ruins somewhat oppressive.
Saint Blazing Sun, however, paid no mind to this. His gaze swept across the interior of the Ruins. Although he wasn't specifically looking at everyone, they still lowered their heads one after another, consciously avoiding his gaze. No one within the Ruins dared to meet the Saint's eyes.
After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and spoke to the people from the Soul Hall:
"The Hall Master is very disappointed in you."
Saint Blazing Sun's plain words sent shivers down the spines of the Soul Hall members. The Hall Master mentioned by the Great Heavenly Venerate could naturally only be the one within the Heavenly Gang Hall.
"We are incompetent. After all this time, we still haven't found the entrance. We implore the Saint to display his power, open the channel, and allow us to enter so we can atone for our failure."
Nine Heavenly Venerates spoke. They were the first Heavenly Venerates from the Soul Hall to arrive here, and they knew even more about the Hall Master's formidable methods.
The Great Heavenly Venerate neither confirmed nor denied, simply nodding lightly:
"Mm!"
Then he stopped speaking and focused his attention on the void here.
After a long time, he reached out and grabbed. The void trembled, followed by a burst of turbulence.
Heh, since I've found you, why would I need to find the channel you opened?
Sensing the extremely unstable state of the Pocket World, Saint Blazing Sun chuckled inwardly.
Since it was confirmed that there was an anomaly here, no matter what it was, it had nowhere to hide in the face of immense power.
Saint Blazing Sun directly pulled it out from the void. Immediately, he raised his hand and drew a line, creating a new channel into the Pocket World himself.
The Soul Hall members looked at the slowly rotating channel before them, resembling an abyss, and shouted in unison.
"Heavenly Venerate's divine might!"
They didn't know that this was a channel the Great Heavenly Venerate had forcibly found the Pocket World and established himself, but this didn't prevent them from worshipping the Saint.
"Go, bring back the secrets inside completely."
Saint Blazing Sun nodded, waved his hand, gave an instruction, and sent the Soul Hall members into the channel.
Afterward, he casually pointed his finger. Dou Qi shot out, and a mark appeared nearby:
"Those who cross this boundary shall die."
When the crowd saw the channel appear, they originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos, but they were blocked outside and felt dissatisfied.
However, their strength was inferior. Although they were dissatisfied, no one dared to challenge the Saint's authority.
Saint Blazing Sun suppressed the crowd, sat cross-legged in the void, and ignored them. He didn't care about the people gathered here; those who hadn't reached the Saint realm were ultimately just ants.
Now, he just needed to wait for the Soul Hall members to bring back the inheritance and report the good news to the Hall Master.
Time passed, and the crowd gradually became restless. In the end, some people couldn't resist the temptation and walked forward. When he crossed the mark drawn by Saint Blazing Sun, he turned into a pool of blood mist.
"Overestimating yourselves."
Saint Blazing Sun swept his gaze over the crowd again, and a disdainful voice came.
At this moment, a thick and slightly frivolous voice came:
"Hahahaha, Old Ghost Blazing Sun, how imposing, how overbearing! But I wonder, with me in front of you, how do you plan to deal with me?"
Saint Blazing Sun's expression changed.
...
Zhao Li didn't know that at this time, many experts had gathered within the Ruins, even alarming a Saint and opening a Spatial Channel.
After entering the Library Pavilion, he didn't walk towards the Cultivation Technique section. Instead, he consciously looked at the bookshelves and wandered around inside.
Although the mysterious Cultivation Technique was quite effective for condensing Dou Qi, compared to Zhao Li's curiosity about this Pocket World, it suddenly seemed less important.
Zhao Li's real purpose for this trip was the various records within the Library Pavilion.
Hope there's a good harvest.
Soon, Zhao Li saw a row of bookshelves, which were precisely where these books of unknown origin and authorship were stored. Zhao Li's face showed joy, and he felt anticipation.
These books were placed very casually, seemingly not given much importance.
Zhao Li saw that some of the bookshelves even had dust on them, indicating they hadn't been read for a long time.
Zhao Li carefully picked up a volume, afraid that it would turn to dust if he touched it.
Fortunately, nothing like that happened. Zhao Li gently flipped through it. It recorded some strange and unusual events.
Perhaps during this long period, a few people occasionally picked them up to read, and then found them to be no different from the stories their parents told, so they lost interest and put them down again. After that, fewer and fewer people read them.
Zhao Li's Soul Power swept over them, gulping them down like a horse. Even if he couldn't understand, he would remember them first.
Under the imprint of his powerful Soul Power, Zhao Li read very quickly, one book after another, quickly scanning one level.
Suddenly, he stopped and carefully examined the book in his hand:
"Chaos Spirit Tribe? Is this the race of the people within this Pocket World? No wonder they don't pay attention to elemental Cultivation Techniques when cultivating Dou Qi; they all practice uniformly. What a unique talent, I'm envious."
After reading it, Zhao Li was full of envy and secretly clicked his tongue.
The book introduced the Chaos Spirit Tribe. They could not only absorb Dou Qi of any attribute but were also extremely sensitive to it. Almost everyone could sense dense Spiritual Energy, and with conscious control, anyone could become a Dou Spirit expert.
While marveling at this, Zhao Li continued reading.
He read quickly, completely immersed in the books, and time flew by.
After a long while, Zhao Li stopped again.
"Hmm? Outer Realm Demons? Are these the external enemies the Emperor Lord mentioned?"
After finishing, a tumultuous wave surged in Zhao Li's heart, leaving him unsettled for a long time.
"Could it really be like this?"
Meanwhile, as Zhao Li was engrossed in reading in the Library Pavilion, Ling Kongming, the elder who had left the town after giving instructions, arrived late. Two days behind Zhao Li, he finally reached the Imperial Court.
Ling Kongming arrived, ascended the city wall, and felt the powerful sounds of battle in the distance. He strained his eyes to see, his heart pounding with fear, and asked the person beside him.
"Old friend, who is the Great Elder's opponent? He's so powerful. Was he the one mentioned in the news that came earlier?"
"Yes, he's indeed very strong. According to the Great Elder, he should be someone from the outside."
"Hmm? Outside? Outer Realm Demons?"
"No, he's from the outside continent."
"Then why would he clash with us?"
"Perhaps times have changed. Oh, right, congratulations! Another Domain Level Expert is about to emerge from your area."
Ling Kongming was puzzled, not understanding what Ling Lingqi was talking about.
"Ah? Who are you talking about?"
"Stop pretending. Ling Li. He just registered with me yesterday. He's one of your people."
Ling Kongming thought for a moment. There was indeed a Ling Li in the city he guarded. He was in the town before Ling Kongming left, so how could he be here? His expression immediately changed.
"Not good, quickly apprehend him."
Ling Lingqi was startled by the words, not understanding why, and said,
"What's wrong? We're not allowed to suppress capable people within the Imperial Court, don't forget that."
Ling Kongming was anxious. If it truly was Ling Li, setting aside the strength he displayed, the mere fact that he could arrive at the Imperial Court before him meant he was no ordinary expert.
But he was anxious and couldn't explain clearly for a while, only saying,
"He might be from the outside."
Upon hearing this, Ling Lingqi said no more and became serious.
The two quickly moved towards the Library Pavilion.
At this moment, Zhao Li had just put down the book, suppressing the turbulent waves in his heart, and habitually reached for the next book.
Ling Lingqi followed behind Ling Kongming, thinking about the young man's performance, which didn't seem like someone from the outside. He hurried forward and grabbed Ling Kongming.
"Old friend, what's going on? How could that young fellow be from the outside?"
Ling Kongming sighed helplessly and told him about Zhao Li's situation on his side. Ling Lingqi was also shocked upon hearing it.
"Let's go, let's take a look first. If it's as you say, I'm afraid only the Great Elder can apprehend him."
Hearing this, Ling Kongming also calmed down and nodded.
"I was being too hasty. For now, let's stabilize him and wait for the Great Elder to return."
