Chương 7: Da Sishen
IN COMPARISON WITH the Realm of Life, the Realm of Death, otherwise known as Da Sishen, was much gloomier, as though its every corner was filled with maleficence. The dread of people after death. Even the sound of death seemed to linger in the air.
Lin Diyu, on the other hand, couldn't feel anything at the moment. He was still in a state of fright after accompanying his master to Da Sishen. What happened was the most miraculous thing he experienced himself. It was also, however, the most hair-raising moment.
What just happened? Where were they just then?
Lin Diyu was unaware of the void. It was a place where everything began, life, the rule of death, destruction, creation, and several other rules. No one knew who created the void. No one knew who was behind all of this.
Who was the ultimate creator of everything? How did everything come to be? Where did this existence come from?
From the void they traveled through, Lin Diyu could hear several voices—no, to be more precise—they were roars, cries, and growls of void beasts that liked to swallow worlds. In the five realms, they were protected by the barrier that their creator, a supreme cultivator, had made. Void beasts couldn't easily pierce through them.
"We are here now," Yang Lujia said, as a glint inexplicably flashed in his eyes. "Our destination now is The Devil's Den. First, let us get information from a nearby town or city."
Lin Diyu snapped back to his senses after hearing his master's voice. "Yes, master. This disciple will do the counseling right away."
"Counseling? Are you an idiot? It's called sourcing, okay, and you act as the informant! Also, are you dumb? We're doing it together. I don't know how much horror this Realm of Death could bring. The strongest was at least above the God King Realm."
Getting wind of this information, Lin Diyu was again, struck dumb. "Master, are there still people stronger than the God King Realm?"
"Of course, there are a total of five realms. Grandpa once said to me that there are still a lot of cultivators above the God King Realm. You will learn about them as you grow up. Since you are recognized by the system as a genius—" Yang Lujia awkwardly coughed at his slip of the tongue. "No, since your master recognized you as a genius, you are naturally a genius who can surpass the God King Realm."
"Yes, master!" Lin Diyu's eyes showed an incomparable determination.
In fact, he was astounded at how quickly he had cultivated. Learning that his master actually altered the time he would spend inside the Blood World, elongating it to one year. However, in the outside world, it was only equivalent to a day. That alone could hold his entire system's grip harder, fearing the chance of falling apart.
In the middle of the murderous-looking valley, both of them began to tread the way with Yang Lujia helping his disciple fly up. Lin Diyu was dumbfounded. At his realm, at the fifth stage of the Spirit Refinement, the pressure was too great to bear in the Realm of Death. But it was negated due to his master's intervention by enveloping him with qi.
It seemed like it was what Yang Lujia told him. There was an existence above the God King Realm which would explain the pressure this world was giving him. It had to be known that a more advanced realm would give more pressure because there would be cultivators with higher cultivations than at the peak of a weaker realm.
Upon arriving in the city, they stopped by a restaurant. Yang Lujia's eyes suddenly moved. "There is wine here. Let's stop for a moment." He licked his lips, disregarding the existence of his disciple.
Lin Diyu stared at his master, who seemed to turn into a monster who eats people, grinning like a madman.
Realizing his behavior in front of his disciple, coughed, and dragged his disciple to the front of the restaurant. They both didn't know what this city was called. But from the word of mouth of the natives, it seemed like it was called the "Manny City." Thinking of the World Boxing Champion from Earth, Manny Pacquiao, he couldn't help but wonder if the owner or the founder of the city was a master of fists, wearing boxing gloves as his weapon.
Anyway, that was just a random thought.
What was more thought-provoking was the aura of the people in this Realm of Death. Unlike in the Realm of Life, in Da Sishen, people were shrouded in a dreadful aura. In the Realm of Life, the people seemed to be filled with vigor and life. It was a stark contrast between the two realms. It was such a wonder why the two realms never fought.
Perhaps the Da Sishen's cultivators thought that the Da Shenghou's were weaker and they didn't need insight war. It could be the same for Da Shenghou's cultivators, who avoided provoking Da Sishen's cultivators for fear of starting a war with them. After all, Da Sishen was the next realm they would ascend to—to break through another realm.
When Yang Lujia entered the restaurant, he was dumbfounded. The price of the wine could shoot a hole in anyone's pocket.
Expensive!
Reluctant to give away some spirit stones, although he had many, he suddenly thought of an idea. He grinned once more, from ear to ear. It caused his disciple to shiver. "Why not steal all the wine from this restaurant?"
He then flew above the restaurant without the crowd of people in the city noticing. As long as he wanted to, no one could probably notice his existence. Even covering his disciple's identity would be sheltered safely by him.
Yang Lujia pulled a weapon from the system's space. It was a weapon that looked like a piggy bank. At his leisure time, he was the one who forged this weapon.
He couldn't imagine that he would be able to use this spatial weapon that was specialized for stealing. Gloating over his brilliance, he roared with laughter inside his heart.
Seeing his master's expression, Lin Diyu was feeling fearful. His master was really strange!
"Master, what's that pig in your hand?"
"Oh, this? It's a spatial weapon for stealing. It's a divine artifact, an earth-ranked divine artifact that I personally forged."
"What? Master can do forging as well?"
"What? Don't you believe me?"
"This disciple does not dare!"
"Hmph!"
Then, the edges of Yang Lujia's lips slightly rose. "Time to plunder some wine!"
However, before he was able to do this, a prompt from the system sounded:
[Ding! The system has discovered an SSS-Class Genius!]
[New Mission: Recruit and acknowledge the Dragon Lair's SSS-Class Genius. The reward will be issued upon acknowledgment from both parties.]
