Chapter 967: Wormhole

Chapter 968: Wormhole

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

While the detector rapidly searched for hidden dangers, Luo Feng stood still, making no reckless movements.

I have two options, thought Luo Feng. First, I can explore this unknown place and find a way out. Second, through the God Country Transportation, I can be sent back to the human race's domain, then to Bauhinia Island, then back to Nine Remoteness Space.

Eyes as sharp as blades, Luo Feng examined his surroundings. It was quiet here. Apart from the beautiful plants, there were no other creatures.

"I'm getting out on my own!" he said. "I can make it if I'm careful. According to the Ancestral God School's briefing for the heirs, this place is not listed as dangerous. I don't want to waste a dozen of days by departing from Bauhinia Island again. By then, I'm afraid I'll need to go through that void area again. What if I were sent to this place a second time?"

Soon, a plethora of data appeared on the screen on Luo Feng's protective sleeve. Luo Feng lowered his head to look at it.

"Everything looks normal," Luo Feng said. He frowned slightly. "Then I'm leaving."

Luo Feng chose a direction and flew across the sky.

"A natural wormhole is found," the detector suddenly alerted Luo Feng.

"A natural wormhole?" said Luo Feng.

He had been flying as a beam of light, but he slowed down immediately. He looked at the map displayed on the detector to verify the location and rushed toward the wormhole. After flying for tens of millions of miles, Luo Feng arrived at a mountain. He stared at the slightly distorted space in front of him.

"A wormhole, here?" he said.

Wormholes were common throughout the universe. Each one connected two places, sometimes spanning vast distances. If one were to step into a wormhole, they would instantly reappear at the opposite end.

For a wormhole to be found in deep space was normal, but it was unusual to see one in the secret region.

"Where does this wormhole lead to?" Luo Feng wondered.

He considered, then came up with an idea. A streak of black air flow flew up and condensed into a muscular man—Luo Feng's Mosha clan body.

"Even if this Mosha body is destroyed," he said, "I can condense another one and send him here via God Country Transportation."

Since Luo Feng was a token gatherer, his soul slaves could easily sense him telekinetically.

The Mosha body was cautious at first, but then he flew into the wormhole.

******

The moment the Mosha body crossed the wormhole, he instantly arrived at another place.

"What?" Mosha body said, gazing at an enormous basin in front of him.

Among the basin was a lake with over 6,000 miles in width. Above the lake floated a cone-shaped peak over 600 miles high.

"A lake? And a floating peak?" Mosha body said. He was a bit surprised to find that he could easily sense the location of his earthling deity. "My earthling deity is probably less than 6 billion miles from here."

The distance between them was so short that Mosha body could reach his earthling deity by teleportation.

******

The deity of Luo Feng continued flying. He had learned about the situations on the other end of the wormhole, but he hadn't rushed to investigate. There were other matters to attend to.

Moments later, the detector alerted him, "Another natural wormhole is found."

"Another one?" Luo Feng was stunned.

He flew toward the location indicated by the detector. This wormhole was in a river. Luo Feng dared not enter the stream recklessly. Instead, he summoned his Mosha body and let him try.

Mosha body dove into the river.

"Nothing special about the water other than its high density," Mosha body quickly confirmed.

Using his strength of a world, Luo Feng condensed a large clay pot and filled it with the water of the river.

"I will study it after leaving this place," he told himself.

His Mosha Body went into the wormhole in the river.

******

The other end of the wormhole was also underwater. Mosha body was stupefied as he rose to the surface of the water and looked around.

"My gosh…"

A cone-shaped peak floated above the vast lake, which was contained within a crater-like basin.

"The first wormhole ended on the shore of the lake," said Mosha body, "while the second ended in the lake. The two wormholes lead to the same place."

Mosha body was at a loss.

******

Bewildered by Mosha body's findings, Luo Feng continued moving ahead and soon found a third wormhole. This time, Mosha body went through the wormhole and discovered that it led to another bank of the lake.

As Luo Feng continued, another wormhole appeared, which led to the surface of the lake. One after another, nine wormholes were discovered. Eventually, the impatient Luo Feng stopped flying. He teleported himself to the lakeside.

"How weird," he said. Standing beside the lake, he surveyed the floating, cone-shaped peak before him. "The nine wormholes all lead here. Maybe this is what makes the dangerous place special."

"10,081 wormholes are found," the detector said.

Luo Feng looked down at the screen on his protective sleeve, wide-eyed. "What?"

The screen indicated the positions of the wormholes. What gave him chills was that the 10,081 wormholes seemed to be arranged like a giant beehive that completely covered the cone-shaped peak. They formed a pattern similar to his Mosha body's life core, which had 10,081 cut surfaces spread with very intricate law engravings that represented the space laws.

"The more unique a place is," said Luo Feng, "the greater the possibility that it contains treasures. And vice versa; a place with treasures is naturally dangerous."

Numerous heirs over time had encountered the same experience. If anyone found treasures at a place without encountering any danger, it was only because great beings of the past had already tackled the hazards.

Luo Feng looked at the cone-shaped peak. He felt that it was the most suspicious, but he couldn't afford to go in by himself. What if a dangerous and unique life form like the cold whale lived inside the peak, and Luo Feng's trespassing alarmed it? If it swallowed Luo Feng's earthling body, it would be difficult for him to retrieve his Shi Wu Wings and Tower Pearl.

Luo Feng said, "Go find out where these 10,081 wormholes lead to."

Swish!

His Mosha body immediately flew toward one wormhole in the air.

******

After entering the wormhole, Mosha body arrived on the other end swiftly. It was a silent desert about 19 billion miles away from the lake.

Mosha body returned to the lake and went into another wormhole.

As his Mosha body rapidly explored the wormholes, Luo Feng gradually got more familiar with the situation in this mysterious place. All these wormholes led to numerous locations within this strange place. The furthest one was about 75 billion miles away from here. What startled Luo Feng the most was that in three areas, he had found some shattered armor and broken weapons, but no treasures.

"Heirs have special status," he said, holding a piece of broken armor. "They are very likely to possess treasures. These broken and worthless pieces of armor indicate that some life forms, probably heirs, have been here. However, not a single valuable treasure—not even a World Ring—has been left behind… Perhaps some survivors or the natives of this mysterious place have taken away the treasures. I doubt many heirs have been here. If they had been, the information about this place would have been more substantial. If survivors do exist, why don't they send out the intelligence about this mysterious place?"

Luo Feng considered the matter.

Swish!

Luo Feng drew back hastily. Through a spatial wormhole, he retreated to a location over 6 billion miles away.

"My earthling deity should stay away from this," he concluded. "I will send my Mosha body to explore the place."

******

Mosha body flew toward the cone-shaped peak floating in the air and observed it. According to the detector, there were 10,081 caves densely distributed on the mountain. Since every cave was only 10 or 12 feet high, these caves seemed insignificant compared to the peak.

Swoosh.

Mosha body flew inside one cave.

"Nothing but stones," he said.

As Mosha body grabbed one of the stones, the wall of the cave suddenly filled with streaks of silver light. Mosha body felt like a formidable force had attacked him so fiercely that his body had been shattered to pieces. And then, as black airflow circulated, Mosha body recovered.

"What the heck?" he shouted.Stupefied, Mosha body gazed at the seemingly normal wall. "Every stone is integral to the wall. It's like the wall is… alive. My sector-lord pinnacle energy is somewhat weak. I wonder what would happen if my earthling deity came and picked up the stones."

Mosha body kept moving ahead carefully.

The cave was very serene and deep, and the spatial ripple here felt somewhat unusual. There were no plants to be seen. Just the empty wall within the cave.

After walking for hundreds of miles, Mosha body finally arrived at the central region of the cone-shaped peak. In the middle was a pool divided into five smaller pools. The color of the water in every pool was different, and every pool produced powerful but unique auras, such as the aura of flames and the aura as sharp as gold. Above the five-colored pool were numerous spatial cracks that repeatedly appeared and disappeared.

Enclosed within the spatial cracks—which were arranged like a gigantic, stunning beehive—was a globe-shaped crystal suspended in the air. It had 10,081 cut surfaces, some of which appeared to flow like water while others leapt up like transparent flames or grew like plants.

"Treasure," Mosha body said, staring at the globe-shaped crystal attentively. "But where are the dangers?"

Even an idiot could tell that this atypical crystal was a treasure, and the five-colored pool beneath it was extraordinary. But Mosha body dared not approach the crystal recklessly. It was clear that this mysterious place was unstable; the globe-shaped crystal had created numerous cracks in the area, and if its energy exploded completely, it would destroy Mosha body in an instant.

According to Luo Feng's understanding of the secret region, apart from the danger of the treasure itself, there were usually additional hazards. Cautiously, Mosha body observed the five-colored pool, the crystal globe, the tranquil environment around him, and the entire peak, which seemed to be alive.
