Chapter 37: Aurora Kingdom

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. I really do want to know which of them is stronger, Senior or Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor.”

“But it should be Senior, right? Everyone knows Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor, and since Senior dares to come, he should have the confidence to defeat him.”

“No, this is too important. I absolutely have to call Old Gu over to watch as well.”

Ye Wushuang’s mind was filled with countless thoughts. He took out a Sound-Transmission Jade Talisman and sent a message to Gu Feng.

At the same time, he also made full preparations. If Lu Xunxian lost—if, and he meant if, if Lu Xunxian lost—then they had to ensure Lu Xunxian survived no matter what.

There was no other reason for it. Lu Xunxian was the father of the Holy Son of their Primordial Sacred Land and the Holy Maiden of the Ancient Wood Sacred Land. Absolutely nothing could happen to him.

In complete contrast to the tension within the Primordial Sacred Land, Lu Xunxian did not take the matter to heart at all.

Chen Wangu, on the other hand, had overheard the contents of the transmission and asked in surprise, “Old Lu, you actually managed to provoke Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor too?”

“It is not that I provoked him. It is that he provoked me.”

Lu Xunxian shook his head.

Beside him, Lu Xiaoyao jumped out and vividly recounted everything that had happened that day.

After hearing it, Chen Wangu could not help but mourn for Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor for the span of a single breath.

Of all the people he could have provoked, he just had to provoke this great being.

The entire Heavenly Demon Sect would probably be wiped out, and even the power backing them in the Immortal Realm would likely suffer heavy losses.

Others might not know, but Chen Wangu still had a bit of information. With curiosity on his face, he looked at Lu Xunxian and asked, “Old Lu, the Heavenly Demon Sect has backing even in the Immortal Realm. Can you handle that?”

Lu Xunxian merely waved his hand, utterly unconcerned.

“So what if they do? As long as they dare provoke me, then no matter who they are, I, Lu Xunxian, will kill them with a single sword.”

Those words made even Chen Wangu’s blood surge with excitement, and he asked no further questions.

Since Lu Xunxian had said as much, then his strength was probably considered top-tier even in the Immortal Realm.

The matter of Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor was merely a minor interlude.

Very soon, the surroundings turned completely dark. One could not even see one’s hand in front of one’s face, and for ten thousand li there was not the slightest trace of light. Even at such close range, Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun could not see Lu Xunxian.

If their daddy had not been holding their hands, Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun would already have become frightened.

“There is no need for the children to be afraid. This is one of Aurora Kingdom’s characteristics.”

“Aurora Kingdom is shrouded in darkness. Only after passing through this darkness can one reach Aurora Kingdom.”

Chen Wangu chose exactly the right moment to speak, which soothed the tension and unease in the two little ones’ hearts.

Soon, a patch of light appeared in the distance, and it drew closer and closer.

Not long afterward, that light appeared directly before them, yet Lu Xunxian could not help frowning.

The light that appeared before them and blocked their path turned out to be two cultivators in the Saint King Realm.

“Please stop. If you wish to enter Aurora Kingdom, you must pay ten Mid-Grade Spirit Crystals per person per day.”

“Old Chen, does every famous place in Tiansheng Continent charge an entrance fee?”

Lu Xunxian looked at Chen Wangu and could not help asking curiously.

Other than the Seven-Colored Bee Kingdom, the Skyborne Primordial Wilds charged a fee, and now Aurora Kingdom also required one?

Chen Wangu shook his head, took out six hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Crystals, and handed them to the two cultivators. Only then did they allow Lu Xunxian’s group to enter.

After they had gone inside, Chen Wangu began to explain.

“This is the place closest to the Western Heaven World Barrier. Space here is extremely unstable and may collapse at any time.”

“Aurora Kingdom was created by a powerful Peak Saint Emperor of the Western Heaven in order to stabilize the collapsing World Barrier.”

“Later, it was discovered that many cultivators liked coming here. In addition, it is easy to comprehend the power of space within Aurora Kingdom, so it gradually attracted many cultivators.”

“And in order to drive away the excess crowd, as well as maintain the formation that stabilizes Aurora Kingdom, that Peak Saint Emperor set the rule that anyone entering Aurora Kingdom must pay ten Mid-Grade Spirit Crystals per person per day.”

Hearing this, Lu Xunxian did not say anything more. After all, Aurora Kingdom was unlike the Skyborne Primordial Wilds. It had been created by Extreme Void Saint Emperor.

Very soon, Lu Qingyun seemed to notice something and excitedly pointed upward.

“Daddy, look!”

Following the direction Lu Qingyun pointed, they saw countless streams of light spread across the sky, winding and twisting. They appeared chaotic, yet they were tightly connected, carrying an artistic kind of beauty.

Under the embellishment of the aurora, the entire night sky became even more beautiful.

Most importantly, after entering Aurora Kingdom, beneath the illumination of the aurora, they actually felt a warm and extremely comfortable sensation spread through their bodies.

“So it is actually the power of space.”

Even Lu Xunxian was somewhat surprised this time. He had clearly not expected that there would be a Saint Emperor in Tiansheng Continent capable of this.

The reason Tiansheng Continent existed as a world of its own was precisely because the World Barrier existed, blocking out the violent and chaotic spatial turbulence beyond it.

As for spatial turbulence, any existence below the Saint King Realm would die upon contact. Even a Saint King would be severely injured if they were fortunate enough not to die. Only Saint Monarchs and Saint Emperors could barely withstand it.

Lu Xunxian truly had not expected that someone could, with only Saint Emperor cultivation, draw the spatial turbulence outside Tiansheng Continent through the World Barrier and then use a formation to convert it into gentle spatial power for cultivators to absorb and comprehend.

This could greatly increase a cultivator’s comprehension of the Law of Space. After Ascending to the Immortal Realm in the future, they might well be able to become a True Immortal through the Law of Space.

But Lu Xunxian merely glanced at it and nothing more. There was no deeper reason for it. He had already been capable of doing something like this back when he was in the Saint Monarch Realm.

After entering Aurora Kingdom, they found that it was filled with cultivators, all of them from major powers.

After all, not just anyone could afford ten Mid-Grade Spirit Crystals a day, and absorbing and comprehending spatial power was not something that could be done in a short while.

If one were lucky, it could be achieved within a hundred years.

If one were unlucky, then even after ten thousand years—or even after exhausting one’s lifespan—one still might not comprehend it.

That was why, within Aurora Kingdom, there were very few people like Lu Xunxian’s group who had come purely for sightseeing and enjoyment.

“Old Chen, make the arrangements.”

“Alright, come with me. I know exactly where the scenery in Aurora Kingdom is the most beautiful.”

Chen Wangu was full of confidence. Before he had become a Saint Emperor, he had already visited Aurora Kingdom several times, though he had never managed to comprehend the power of space.

Still, during that period, Chen Wangu had discovered where the scenery in Aurora Kingdom was at its finest.

But as they looked at the already overcrowded Falling Star Cliff, Chen Wangu and Lu Xunxian’s group fell silent.
