A World Worth Protecting

The price of 3000 Red Crystals was an astonishing price for Wang Baole, both now and in the past. In fact, if he threw that number of Red Crystals out, it would be extremely easy to make Spirit Immortal cultivators go crazy too.

Even Planet realm cultivators would be moved by that. That was why Wang Baole rejected Xie Haiyang previously. He thought that Xie Haiyang was extorting him, but compared to the small fortune of 3000 Red Crystals, Wang Baole felt that it would all be worth it if he could really use the opportunity to become a Spirit Immortal!

Once I become a Spirit Immortal, I’ll be able to put up a fight against Gu Mo if I use the mask’s curse as well… Although it’s pretty clear who’ll win, it’ll still be enough for me to hold my own! Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. He pondered in his heart while waiting for Xie Haiyang’s reply.

After fifteen minutes, Xie Haiyang’s surprised voice sounded from within the voice transmission jade slip.

“Brother Baole? Haha, you’ve finally contacted me. We’re brothers, after all, so how could I cheat you? Let me tell you, my tip does indeed contain an opportunity for you to become a Spirit Immortal. But I have to warn you first. It’s only an opportunity. As for whether you can obtain it… it’s up to you.

“Of course, if you’re willing to spend some more Red Crystals, I can try my best to look for contacts and send the opportunity directly to you. Everything can be discussed.”

Wang Baole could feel Xie Haiyang’s joy even through the jade slip. After muttering in his heart, Wang Baole asked what price he would have to pay to get the opportunity directly.

“Fifty thousand Red Crystals!”

Xie Haiyang perked up immediately and spoke with anticipation.

Curse you… Hearing that price, those two words appeared in Wang Baole’s mind. Besides that, he also thought that Xie Haiyang was an evil merchant, so he humphed in his heart and said, “Deal, I’ll owe you first.”

“Haha, stop joking, Brother Baole. Let me tell you the tip priced at 3000 Red Crystals.” Xie Haiyang coughed, avoided the previous topic, and started talking about the tip.

“Go on,” Wang Baole said while feeling annoyed.

“Well… you’ll have to pay a deposit first.” Xie Haiyang hesitated.

“Brother Haiyang! You don’t trust me?” Wang Baole grabbed the voice transmission jade slip as he spoke word by word.

“Uhhhh… Okay then. Since you’ve contacted me, it shows that you already have the intention. I won’t hide then. You don’t need to pay first. I’ll tell you about the source of the opportunity.” Xie Haiyang sighed.

“Not many people know about this tip within your Divine Eye civilization. Only the royals know about it. It’s considered an absolute secret of the Divine Eye civilization’s royalty.”

“This is because what the tip describes is the Divine Eye civilization royalty’s imperial cemetery!” Speaking to that point, Xie Haiyang purposely spoke softer to create a sense of mysteriousness.

“Cemetery?” Wang Baole froze.

“That’s right. The burial place of all royalty, from the creator of the Divine Eye civilization, also known as the Divine Eye civilization’s first emperor, to the previous emperor.”

“Within the imperial cemetery lies an opportunity. It has long been desired by the past generations of royalty in the Divine Eye civilization, but they have always found it hard to obtain. If you can obtain it, I can guarantee you that you’ll achieve a breakthrough in your cultivation immediately and reach the Spirit Immortal realm!” Xie Haiyang suddenly paused, clicked his tongue, and stopped speaking.

Wang Baole waited for a while. After seeing that Xie Haiyang stopped speaking, he was clear in his heart that he wanted a deposit. So he resisted the pain and asked, “How do I give you Red Crystals?”

“You just need to place the Red Crystals on the teleportation jade slip. But what are you doing, Brother Baole? How could I not trust you and want you to pay a deposit while giving you information? I didn’t speak just now because I had some important matters to settle.” Xie Haiyang spoke with a tinge of unhappiness.

Wang Baole was also too lazy to care. He simply took out his Red Crystals and sent 3000 of them over at once.

“Can you say it now?” After paying, Wang Baole spoke calmly.

“Hahaha, Brother Baole, you’re really forthright. Don’t worry, from now until I finish speaking, whoever disturbs me will become my enemy. For this period of time, I’m yours.” While feeling surprised, Xie Haiyang also became more passionate and even started getting mushy as he quickly told Wang Baole everything he knew.

“The imperial cemetery is a forbidden area of the Divine Eye civilization’s royalty. That place has bloodline divine powers and will reject anyone who’s not from the royal bloodline. So, after you go, Brother Baole, you’ll definitely feel like you’re being rejected, as though the entire imperial cemetery doesn’t welcome you and hates you. So you must be quick!

“Also, after you enter there, the deeper you go, the stronger the rejection. In the deepest area, where the main gate of the internal area of the imperial cemetery is, the rejection will be extremely astonishing. So… when you step into the forbidden area—the outer area of the imperial cemetery—the clock will start ticking down. You only have fifteen minutes, so… theoretically, you can’t go deep into the imperial cemetery because you don’t have enough time. You still need more time to activate the restriction of the imperial cemetery main gate.”

Listening to that point, Wang Baole raised his eyebrows. The appearance of the imperial cemetery had already appeared in his mind, according to Xie Haiyang’s descriptions. Obviously, the imperial cemetery should be divided into internal and external areas. And in the center of the cemetery was the imperial cemetery main gate.

“But, Brother Baole, don’t worry. I took your 3000 Red Crystals, but I’m not just going to sell you information. Take the voice transmission jade slip I gave you and immediately activate it to talk to me when you pass the external area and near the imperial cemetery main gate. I can help to forcefully teleport you in.” Xie Haiyang’s voice was full of confidence, as though he was very satisfied with the services he could provide.

“As for after you’re teleported into the internal area of the cemetery, whether you can obtain the chance in time is really up to you.” After speaking, the voice transmission jade slip vibrated slightly. Curious, Wang Baole swept his consciousness towards it. Immediately, he felt some disturbances on the voice transmission jade slip. In the next moment, the map of the imperial cemetery appeared in his mind.

This scene made Wang Baole narrow his eyes. After looking at the voice transmission jade slip in his hands closely, he closed his eyes and observed the map in his mind carefully. Although the map was somewhat different from his previous judgment, it was mostly the same. It was indeed divided into internal and external areas.

“Brother Baole, besides helping you open the imperial cemetery main gate, the 3000 Red Crystals you paid also includes two additional teleportation chances to and fro. Once you’re ready, I can immediately teleport you to the outer area of the imperial cemetery!

“Similarly, you just need to walk out from the internal area, activate the jade slip, and I can instantly teleport you back to where you are now!”

“What do you think? Don’t you think I’m pretty reliable!” Xie Haiyang continued speaking excitedly. As for Wang Baole, he didn’t reply and instead started pondering.

He analyzed it completely in his mind, and after 30 minutes, a glimmer flashed between Wang Baole’s eyes.

“Teleport now!”

“Okay!” Xie Haiyang laughed and unleashed an unknown technique. In the next moment, an intense light suddenly exploded forth from the voice transmission jade slip in Wang Baole’s hands. The light spread and engulfed Wang Baole within it instantly, then disappeared.

It seemed like a brief moment but also seemed like a long time had passed. When Wang Baole’s vision cleared again, he had already appeared in a foreign world!

The sky was orange, and the land was black. In the distance, there were many mountains, and greenery was everywhere in the surroundings. There were also whimpering black winds bringing the stench of death with them. They blew from all around and whizzed past his body. In this space, they dispersed an indescribable eeriness and chill!

From afar, one could see heaven-shaking pillars that were seemingly supporting the heavens. There was a countless amount of black lightning surrounding the pillars. The lightning created rumbles and shook the souls of anyone who saw it.

That place… was no longer the Soul Rift Legion’s planet. Instead… it was the main star of the Divine Eye civilization. It was the imperial cemetery, a forbidden area within the sealed territory of the royalty!

Looking at his surroundings, Wang Baole took a deep breath. While he was impressed with Xie Haiyang’s methods in his heart, a glimmer slowly appeared in his eyes.

I can’t waste those 3000 Red Crystals. This opportunity… I’ll definitely obtain it! Thinking to that point, Wang Baole knew he had limited time. Without hesitation, his body flew out instantly with a flick. After the map appeared in his mind, he sped towards the imperial cemetery main gate!

Just as he flew out, the speeding Wang Baole suddenly narrowed his eyes. His silhouette suddenly stopped. After sensing his surroundings, suspicion appeared in his eyes.

Something doesn’t feel right!
