Chapter 1884: Wound of the Void

Chapter 1841: Wound of the Void

Lu Yun had done his homework on the way to the Firmament Prison and was aware of spatial tides. However, it hadn’t been long since the last one. There should still be time remaining until the next one.

Yet, there were indeed signs of another tide about to take place.

But since he was here, there was no point in heading back. He might as well stay and observe what a spatial tide was. He knocked out the twenty-eighth level sequence cultivator and looted the man of everything he carried. When he was finished, he tossed the cultivator off to the side.

He was a man of his word. He’d told the guy it was a robbery.

……

“Why aren’t there more foreigners on Huangpang if it’s almost time for a spatial tide?” Lu Yun murmured to himself. Huangpang was the closest major world to the Firmament Prison. When something as monumental as a spatial tide took place, it should become the primary gathering point.

But he didn’t see that many foreigners throughout the course of his visit—at least, no strong ones.

“It looks like the matter of the Huangpang Supreme and Mo Fei is no secret. Only the minor fish at the bottom of the totem pole don’t know about it,” Lu Yun realized. He sighed in spite of himself. He’d traveled from the world of immortals to the chaos, then to the Hongmeng and fourth realm. He now stood in the even greater chief worlds.

The world continued to open up and its denizens grow stronger, but the innate nature of humanity never changed. This was the commonality of all living beings.

Who cared about the weaklings?

However, those with kindness in their hearts still existed. Qu Cu became a chang ghost after he barged into Huangpang City, but his mind remained focused on trying to save the city and world at large.

Good deeds weren’t always rewarded in kind, yet he’d met Lu Yun through the cycle of karma. Perhaps this was what was meant by “the heavens have eyes”?

Lu Yun wasn’t the heavens, that was for sure. Heaven would never rob a cultivator.

The Firmament Prison appeared like a gaping wound to his eyes when he arrived at the ruins. Its cracks took the shape of a starburst, extending in all directions with the prison at the center. It more resembled a black dandelion.

“The Wound of the Void… that’s an accurate nickname. But it looks more like a dandelion.”

Since space here was chaotic, Lu Yun didn’t know how far away he was from the ruins. He had the misconception that he would be able to enter it if he took a single step forward.

Lu Yun looked around and noted plenty of cultivators hidden in the void. They were all twenty-nine or thirty levels of sequence.

Thirtieth level sequence was a threshold. If one exceeded sequence at this number, a dao palace would forever be out of one’s reach. The lack of a dao palace would also preclude one from becoming a supreme. They would be forever caught in the cracks of this cultivation level and never advance further.

Not even supremes would be able to forge dao palaces for them then.

Thus, cultivators at twenty-nine or thirty levels of sequence needed to focus most on accumulation. They needed to accumulate everything they could to prepare for the final push. Once they broke through to thirty-one levels, they could exceed sequence and use those fragments of sequence to craft their dao palace.

But since time immemorial, few were those who could break through thirty levels of sequence. They were possibly one in a hundred million. Thus, anyone who reached thirty-one levels meant they were a supreme-in-waiting.

Even if one was the lowliest supreme, achieving that level meant an evolution beyond an ordinary being.

The cultivators that Lu Yun saw were making preparations to try for thirty-one levels. The twenty-eighth level one that he’d just robbed was likely one of them as well. Apart from Ao Quan, son of the Golden Dragon King, he’d yet to see any other thirtieth level sequence cultivator.

“There’s still a lot of time until the spatial tide. Let’s see if there’s any way into the Firmament Prison.” He silently operated formula dao, but to no avail. If it wasn’t for the signs of an imminent tide, he wouldn’t even be able to deduce that a spatial tide was about to take place. It wasn’t that formula dao had finally reached its limits, but that this locale of the outside realm was impossible to analyze.

As it was the site of the ancient heavenly court, the intersection of various karma isolated the Firmament Prison from the rest of the worlds’ great daos. Lu Yun could derive certain results from the fragment he possessed, but now that he was at the site proper, he wasn’t able to derive anything at all.

The fearsome karma floating around completely defeated formula dao.

“Greetings sir, I am Liang Ruyue.” A slightly ambiguous voice sounded behind Lu Yun. He turned around to find a young girl dressed as a man. She said with some embarrassment, “I’d… I’d like to hire you to protect me. Might you be willing, sir?”

Unease shone from the depths of her clear eyes—she was obviously very nervous. It seemed like this was her first time leaving home and she was quite inexperienced in the ways of the world.

“I’m here to rob people.” Lu Yun glared at her. She was thirty levels sequence, but wanted a twenty-four levels bodyguard? No way she didn’t have something else in mind! Emotions could be disguised if one’s self discipline was strong enough. Thus, Lu Yun could read emotions as a reference for his decisions, but couldn’t make snap judgments based on emotion alone.

“I know!” Liang Ruyue easily responded. “I saw you beat a twenty-eighth level sequence just now!”

“This is a robbery!” Lu Yun roared and lifted his axes.

“I’ll, I’ll give you enigma stones, but you have to protect me!” Liang Ruyue blinked and took out a bag that held at least a million stones.

“Out with it, wench, what do you want with me?!” Lu Yun blustered with wide eyes. “Do you take me for a fool?! A girl throws herself at me as soon as I stand here?? Am I that lucky?!

“Go on, git! Piss off as far away as you can!”

“Look, Liang Ruyue’s scamming people again! She sucked some men dry last time and wants to try the same old trick. But your acting skills suuuuck and he saw right through you! Hahahaha!!” Raucous laughter rose and fell through the air. The others here wouldn’t have said anything if Lu Yun hadn’t exposed the girl. Everyone was a stranger, there was no need to offend Liang Ruyue for someone they didn’t know. But since he had, well then.

Liang Ruyue ground her teeth and left in a huff.

“Remember to hide your cultivation next time you try to trick someone. And look for someone on the same level as you if you want to use the bodyguard excuse!” Lu Yun rolled his eyes.

Hummm.

A pale blue haze emanated from the ruins, dispersing into the surroundings as dots of light. Lu Yun’s jaw dropped. Blue was the color of the sequence of space. Was there a complete sequence in the prison?
