Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 1355: An Unsolved Mystery

A piercing sword light, like a long rainbow piercing the sun, broke through from the depths of the base and transformed into a burly middle-aged man with a great sword on his back, landing in front of the Celestial Boat.

"Greetings, Captain Ji."

The disciple of the Hall of War God smiled slightly, pointed to the four people beside him, and solemnly said, "These are the four new disciples inducted this year from the outer world. Following orders, I’ve brought them safely here!"

"Good, Brother Li, you’ve worked hard."

Captain Ji laughed heartily, his voice resonating through the void.

"I am Ji Quanli, from the Hall of War God, currently the captain of the Black Abyss Star base. Greetings, fellow disciples..."

Looking at Pan Wu, Leng Wufeng, and the others, Ji Quanli clasped his fists and spoke loudly.

"Greetings, Captain."

The group quickly returned the gesture.

Ji Quanli’s cultivation base is at the ninth level of the God’s King Realm. Although only a level higher than Leng Wufeng and Pan Wu, he feels unfathomable.

"This Captain Ji, reportedly arrived on Jianyang Star thirty thousand years ago, continually cultivating Sword Dao amidst slaughter. Despite being only one level higher now, I probably can’t withstand even one move from him..."

Looking at Ji Quanli’s restrained Sword Intent, Pan Wu’s face was shocked, thinking to himself.

He knows some information about Ji Quanli because, as a disciple of the Hall of War God, someone had once talked to him about it.

"Huh?"

Ji Quanli’s gaze swept across the four, suddenly showing a surprised expression, and couldn’t help but say, "Strange, have the two new disciples of the Wind and Cloud Pavilion been replaced? According to news from Jianyang Star, there should be a fellow disciple at the fifth layer of God Venerate Realm. Where has he gone?"

Captain Ji asked in confusion.

"Ha ha..."

Pan Wu, Leng Wufeng, and even the disciples from the Hall of War God couldn’t help but laugh.

Ye Yun watched the scene indifferently.

Jiang Lengyue frowned slightly.

Clearly dissatisfied with the attitude of Pan Wu and the others.

"What’s the matter, fellow disciples?"

Ji Quanli pursed his lips, somewhat befuddled.

"That fellow disciple Ye Chen at the fifth layer of God Venerate Realm broke through on the way here!"

The disciple of the Hall of War God laughed.

"Broke through?"

Ji Quanli was shocked, looked at Ye Yun incredulously, and curiously asked, "How did this fellow disciple Ye Chen cultivate to suddenly break through from the fifth layer of God Venerate Realm to the first layer of God’s King Realm?!"

"He consumed a Nameless Dao Fruit, and his cultivation level just shot up..."

The disciple of the Hall of War God spread his hands and laughed, "However, Captain Ji need not be overly surprised, the truth is—Ye Chen merely used Divine Skills to release the aura of God’s King Realm, but he’s not truly at God’s King Realm!"

"What’s the rationale behind this?"

Ji Quanli frowned, clearly dissatisfied with such deceitful behavior.

In his view.

The mysterious and powerful outer world differs from the inner world.

Though rare, disciples at God Venerable Realm are not absent in the outer world—God Venerable Realm is God Venerable Realm, why forcefully release the aura of God’s King Realm?

Isn’t this just showing off?

Such deceit, adding unnecessary embellishments, has no meaning, only amusing others.

"Captain Ji, Ye Chen has indeed broken through to God’s King Realm; he’s already a genuine God’s King Realm practitioner..."

Jiang Lengyue couldn’t help but say.

"What is the reality? Whom should I trust?"

Ji Quanli frowned.

"Captain Ji, don’t listen to Jiang Lengyue’s nonsense; have you ever seen a breakthrough to God’s King Realm without a Heavenly Tribulation descending?"

Pan Wu grinned, somewhat malicious.

Breaking through to God King Realm without Heavenly Tribulation?

Ji Quanli froze for a moment; clearly, he had never considered this issue.

Every cultivator in Divine Land faces Heavenly Tribulation when breaking through to God’s King Realm, how could there be none?

"You mean..."

Ji Quanli looked at Pan Wu with suspicion.

"On the way here, Ye Chen seemed to break through to God’s King Realm, releasing the aura of the first level of God’s King Realm, but without Heavenly Tribulation, so we speculate he just used some Divine Skill to cover the cultivation base of God Venerable Realm!"

Pan Wu laughed heartily.

"I simply can’t comprehend Ye Chen’s mindset..."

The disciple of the Hall of War God chuckled.

"Me either, just feels like Ye Chen’s mindset is a bit peculiar!"

Leng Wufeng echoed.

Hiss!

Ji Quanli gasped again, looking at Ye Yun.

"Ye Chen, why did you do this?"

Ji Quanli asked.

"I am now truly a God’s King Realm practitioner, Captain Ji; don’t listen to their nonsense..."

Ye Yun smiled indifferently.

Regarding Pan Wu, Leng Wufeng, and the others’ behavior, Ye Yun merely found it amusing.

Pan Wu snorted coldly, "Ye Chen, you’re just a Fake God King Realm!"

"It’s not your decision."

Seeing Pan Wu’s flustered appearance, Ye Yun retorted casually.

Ji Quanli watched coldly.

"Hall Master Ning tasked me to suppress the two disciples from the Wind and Cloud Pavilion, so they’d be too occupied to cultivate, regardless of their realms, it has nothing to do with me..."

He thought silently.

As a disciple of the Hall of War God, Ji Quanli naturally must follow Hall Master Ning’s orders.

"Captain Ji, people have been delivered, I’ll head back!"

The disciple of the Hall of War God clasped his fists, exchanged greetings with Ji Quanli, and left Black Abyss Star on the Celestial Boat.

"Fellow disciples, follow me."

Ji Quanli coughed, flew into the depths of the base.

"Whoa!"

Wild beast roars echoed crazily from a certain direction.

Soon, enormous shadows rushed madly towards the base.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Sword lights shot out from the depths of the base, attacking the invading mysterious creatures.

Ji Quanli ignored this, leading the four into the Council Hall.

The so-called Council Hall, though extremely simple, was built with locally sourced black boulders.

Looking at the sword lights soaring into the sky in the dark horizon, listening to the chaotic roars of mysterious creatures, Ji Quanli stood with killing intent emanating.

"You all saw just now, right?

Lately, mysterious creatures on Black Abyss Star have been emerging endlessly, continuously attacking the base, prompting higher-ups to send you four prodigies here..."

Ji Quanli said in a deep voice.

Pan Wu assumed a solemn expression, resolutely said, "Captain, command us, we are prepared to face any challenge!"

"There’s no rush today; first, I’ll arrange your lodgings, then familiarize yourself with the distribution of mysterious creatures on Black Abyss Star..."

Ji Quanli waved his hand, speaking calmly.

"Yes!"

Pan Wu looked determined.

"Captain, our manpower in Black Abyss Star base... doesn’t seem sufficient, does it?"

Ye Yun suddenly said with a smile.

"Indeed, not much; originally there were sixty or seventy people, but recently some fell, and with pressure on other planetary battlefields, a few were reassigned. So now, including you, only fifty-two people remain!"

Ji Quanli sighed.

Ye Yun gazed into the distance, smiling thoughtfully, "After killing these mysterious creatures for years, why do they seem to increase in numbers?"

"It’s an unsolved mystery."

Ji Quanli’s heart filled with helplessness, he chuckled, "Every once in a while, Black Abyss Star spontaneously generates a large number of mysterious creatures, not knowing from where; every star experiences this, and after millions of years, their strength remains undiminished. Frankly, they are only slightly weaker than our Sword Pavilion!"

"Alas, indeed."

Pan Wu recalled certain legends, shuddering, "These mysterious creatures are not only difficult but also very terrifying..."
