Chapter 3243: Sanctuary There were many different races and wonders in the major chiliocosm. Some areas were boundlessly vast and were completely covered by seawater, ruled by many marine lifeforms. Some areas were hundreds of millions of kilometers barren and scorching. Apart from some special lifeforms and powerful races, it was difficult for other living beings to survive here. In some areas, mutated beasts ran rampant and the strong preyed on the weak. Everywhere was filled with killing and blood. In some areas, space overlapped in distorted manners, like an endless maze. The large territory in the southeast of the major chiliocosm was filled with beautiful mountains and clear water with abundant vegetation. There were the most variety of spirit herbs and immortal trees in the major chiliocosm and they were filled with vitality. In a forest in the Southeast Region, there was an extremely open area surrounded by many boulders that were engraved with mysterious runes like a gigantic sacrificial altar. Within the forest, human figures flickered and countless experts were hidden, emitting powerful auras. “Senior Brother Zhou, what’s the use of Master sending us to watch over this Ascension Altar? It’s so boring.” “I heard that the seal of the medium chiliocosm has been broken and some living beings of the medium chiliocosm have ascended one after another. Master sent us over to see if there are any talented experts who can be guided to our Xuan Yue Peak.” “What’s so special about the ascenders of the medium chiliocosm? They’re only Emperors and are nothing in our Xuan Yue Peak.” The cultivation realms of the two people who spoke had already reached the Dao Manifestation realm. In the medium chiliocosm, they were called Great Emperors. In the major chiliocosm, they were two Supremacies! “Those who can ascend from the medium chiliocosm are all paragons and monster incarnates who have experienced countless killings and battles. In a fight of the same cultivation realm, the Emperors of our Xuan Yue Peak might not be a match for these ascenders.” The person called Senior Brother Zhou continued, “Furthermore, I heard that some ascenders in the other territories of the major chiliocosm have extraordinary bloodlines. Even people of the Sanctuaries have been alarmed.” “Ah!” When the junior brother heard the word ‘Sanctuaries’, his expression changed, as though he was afraid and exclaimed in a hushed tone. “That explains why so many factions have been watching over this place all these years.” The junior brother glanced at the figures hidden in various parts of the forest and was secretly speechless. Senior Brother Zhou said, “We’re just here for show to complete the sect’s mission. Who knows, we might not even meet any ascenders, let alone living beings with extraordinary bloodlines.” The junior brother said, “Say, our Xuan Yue Peak isn’t that weak in comparison even if we encounter any talented ascenders. After all, there aren’t terrifying factions like the Sanctuaries here.” “Who says so? Look over there.” When Senior Brother Zhou heard that, he chuckled and pointed to another corner of the forest. In the forest over there stood two men and a woman. They were travel-worn and were all Dao Manifestation realm Supremacies. Although they had a change of clothes, their faces were pale. It was obvious that they were injured and had yet to recover. “Them?” The junior brother looked over and could not help but sneer, “The Chaos Sanctuary was destroyed more than six billion years ago and the experts have already dispersed. The remaining cultivators are only some cultivators with low cultivation and were lucky enough to survive.” “Even until today, these people still hold a trace of hope and want to protect the name and dignity of the Sanctuary? How laughable.” “In fact, there seemed to be only tens of thousands of people left in Chaos Palace, right?” “That was hundreds of thousands of years ago.” Senior Brother Zhou smiled and shook his head. “There are only a few thousand people in Chaos Palace now. The person with the highest cultivation is Xu Rui, who is at the Third Transformation of the Dao Manifestation realm.” “Chaos Palace merely exists in name now. Their foundation is long gone.” “Haha, I reckon they won’t even be able to find a place to stay in a few years.” The Xu Rui that Senior Brother Zhou mentioned was dressed in a white robe. He was slightly older and had a calm bearing. The two of them from Xuan Yue Peak did not hide their voices and mockery. Everyone around could hear them clearly. As though he did not hear anything, Xu Rui’s face was expressionless. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢 The young man on his left could not hide his anger and clenched his fists. The woman on the right was beautiful and gentle. When she heard that, she only sighed gently with a frown. “What are people from Chaos Palace doing here?” “I don’t know. From the looks of it, it’s already lucky that the three of them made it here alive.” “Could it be that Chaos Palace wants to compete with us for talents as well?” “As long as the ascenders aren’t fools, who would go to Chaos Palace? I heard that Chaos Palace doesn’t even have a palace left. All that’s left is a straw hut. Haha!” In the forest, the various factions were chatting and laughing brazenly. Listening to the discussions around him, the young man of Chaos Palace clenched his fists tightly, seemingly unable to suppress the anger in his heart. “Senior Brother, they…” The young man gritted his teeth with an indignant expression. Xu Rui sighed internally. “Meng Shi, don’t be angry with them. It’s true that we’re just trying our luck for this trip.” In reality, he knew very well that even if there were ascenders, they would not choose them. The reason why they came this time round was only because they had a sliver of hope. Their ancestors came from the Chaos Sanctuary. Although their cultivation was low back then, they had deep feelings for the Chaos Sanctuary and had persisted until now. However, the Chaos Sanctuary was destroyed and more than half of the experts in the Sanctuary died. Those who were lucky enough to survive fled in all directions, their whereabouts unknown. The treasures and inheritances of the Sanctuary had long been divided between various factions. The cultivation of Xu Rui and the others’ ancestors was low and coupled with the fact that they did not have cultivation resources, they could not support a faction at all. As time passed, the world changed. Six billion years was way too long after all. Countless factions rose and fell in the Southeast Region of the major chiliocosm. As for the Chaos Sanctuary, it declined as well. Furthermore, after the turmoil in the major chiliocosm, no one was willing to be related to the Chaos Sanctuary and their decline was inevitable. Now, their former ancestors had already passed away. There were only a few thousand people left in the so-called Chaos Sanctuary who had no fixed residence and were struggling to hold on. The only thing that made them defend until now was probably the persistence of their ancestors and a trace of yearning for the Chaos Sanctuary of the past. Right then, balls of light suddenly burst forth from the Ascension Altar! There was an ascender! Figures flashed out of the forest and gathered around the Ascension Altar, staring fixedly at the middle of the altar. Before long, a figure appeared. The ascender wore a wide green robe and his beard and hair were all white. He had an aged face and a gloomy aura—it was clear that he did not have much lifespan left! When the experts of the surrounding factions saw the green-robed old man, they were stunned for a moment before shaking their heads. “He’s actually a Supremacy. Unfortunately, his lifespan is about to end and he doesn’t have much time left.” “With the remaining tens of thousands of years of lifespan, even if he’s given enough Source Stones, it’s impossible for him to break through continuously and advance to the Dao Comprehension realm.” “You’re already so old, yet you still want to ascend to the major chiliocosm. You should have just retired down there. Why did you come up here?” Everyone pursed their lips and dispersed, ignoring the green-robed old man. No one was willing to waste time and cultivation resources on this old man in his twilight years. In the knowledge of these experts, ascenders were all Emperors. They had never seen an ascended Supremacy, let alone been to the medium chiliocosm. They did not know that in the medium chiliocosm, the combat strength and lifespan of Supremacies would be restricted! Right now, although the green-robed old man did not seem to have much time left, as long as he manifested his Dao Imprint in the major chiliocosm, his lifespan would increase exponentially!
