Chapter 596 - 275: Saved by Poverty!
"Forgotten Void City... what kind of place is this?"
Li Hengsheng had never heard of that name before. In the entire Cangyuan Realm, was there such a city?
"Ah, it hurts so much!"
At this moment, Li Hengsheng felt the aftereffects of the Sun and Moon True Flame rising, nearly impossible to suppress. The intense pain almost blinded him.
But even at this time, Li Hengsheng could sense danger approaching from behind.
He vaguely saw a figure flying toward him in the distance.
The visitor’s strength was overwhelming, very likely it was the Archbishop of the Longevity Sect.
"Li Hengsheng!"
A voice thundered from behind, and Li Hengsheng gritted his teeth, the veins on his body bulging, as he forcefully stepped into the Forgotten Void City.
But the moment Li Hengsheng entered the city, he finally couldn’t bear it anymore and fainted!
Immediately following, the Archbishop of the Longevity Sect also entered the Forgotten Void City.
Everything seemed to return to calm.
When Li Hengsheng regained consciousness, he had no idea how much time had passed. He only remembered desperately pushing himself into the Forgotten Void City, but he didn’t know what happened afterward because he had fainted.
When Li Hengsheng opened his eyes, he found himself lying on a slab of blue stone, surrounded by grass, with a gentle breeze blowing, feeling quite comfortable.
Where is this place?
Right, at the last moment, the Archbishop of the Longevity Sect caught up. Was he captured after all?
Li Hengsheng sat up. This world was very peculiar; he noticed that the surrounding scenery was somewhat distorted, as if it wasn’t a real space.
And at that moment, a figure emerged from the distorted space.
Originally, Li Hengsheng thought the visitor was the Archbishop of the Longevity Sect, but upon seeing the figure, he found it was not. It was also an old man, but with a peculiar appearance: bald, white-browed, holding a stick, with a turtle shell on his back.
"You’re awake."
The old man spoke to Li Hengsheng.
"Senior, who are you? And where am I?"
Li Hengsheng quickly descended from the blue stone, and at this moment, he couldn’t sense the aura of the old man in front of him, as if he were one with heaven and earth.
"I have no name; you can call me the Plane Guardian." The old man sat and smiled, saying, "As for this place, well..."
"Where should this place be?"
The Plane Guardian pondered and said, "Its first owner called it the Gate of Myriad Worlds, the second called it the Plane Treasure Tower, and now, you can call it the Bronze Immortal Mansion."
"Bronze Immortal Mansion!"
Li Hengsheng could hardly believe his ears.
The Bronze Immortal Mansion was a legendary place in the entire Cangyuan Realm.
It’s rumored that inside the Bronze Immortal Mansion were countless treasures, that it could appear anywhere, and entering it could even fulfill any wish. However, the Bronze Immortal Mansion is elusive; many who entered never returned, making it even more mysterious than the Black and White Forbidden Area.
Many even doubted whether the Bronze Immortal Mansion truly existed. Who would have thought he would enter it? He couldn’t believe his luck in coming to the Bronze Immortal Mansion.
"Senior, is this really the Bronze Immortal Mansion?" Li Hengsheng said excitedly. "I’ve heard that entering the Bronze Immortal Mansion involves dangerous trials and that you can obtain whatever you wish. Is that true?"
"It’s true." The Plane Guardian nodded. "That was the rule set by its second owner."
"The second owner?" Li Hengsheng found it hard to imagine such a place having an owner. What kind of being could control the Bronze Immortal Mansion?
Could it be a powerful terrestrial deity?
"Indeed."
"The first owner left the treasure to the second owner. In theory, the second owner should also find the next destined person to pass the Plane Treasure Tower on to, but..." The Plane Guardian’s expression suddenly became peculiar. With a wave of his hand, the surrounding space changed again.
A grand hall appeared before them, and in the hall were two figures.
These figures were two statues.
The first person looked like a graceful gentleman, giving off an ethereal aura.
The second person also appeared elegant, but for some reason, Li Hengsheng felt inexplicably that this person seemed... slightly unreliable?
"The first owner’s surname was Ji, and the second owner’s surname was Su. As for a third owner, that seems far off..."
The Plane Guardian sighed lightly.
"So, Senior, are there any rules for coming to the Bronze Immortal Mansion?"
"Naturally, there are rules."
The Plane Guardian nodded and said, "Entering the Bronze Immortal Mansion, you must first undergo a trial. Only after passing the trial can you obtain what you desire."
"Is the trial... very difficult?" Li Hengsheng frowned, though he already guessed it would be.
"The level of difficulty does not lie with me, but with you." The Plane Guardian smiled and said, "Do you know why the Bronze Immortal Mansion was formerly called the Plane Treasure Tower?"
"I don’t know." Li Hengsheng shook his head.
"Because the Bronze Immortal Mansion can lead to various planes." The Plane Guardian said.
"Planes? Could there really be different worlds? Are there truly other worlds?" At this moment, Li Hengsheng was deeply moved.
"Certainly." The Plane Guardian said, "There are countless plane worlds in the universe, with countless cultivation technique heritages. Every world has its unique characteristics and, of course, they all exist. Just like your Cangyuan Realm, it’s merely one of countless plane worlds. To create a plane world, one’s cultivation must surpass an Immortal and reach the level of an Immortal Emperor."
