Chapter 336: A Cage?

Lin Chao sat on the side of the bed, his eyes deep and profound.

Yingxue is not dead?

After the fall of the Martial Emperor, he was not clear about the affairs of the Wu Kingdom.

Even the fall of Qi Yingxue was something he only learned from the mouth of that Alien Demon who caused chaos in Kyoto last time.

Lin Chao calmed down, his mind constantly calculating.

He was recalling what exactly was special about his daughter, Qi Yingxue.

However, after thinking for a long time, he still had no clue.

"If she is still alive, I will definitely find her!" Lin Chao's gaze was resolute.

He actually had one more thing he hadn't said: even if Yingxue had passed away, once his strength was sufficient, he would still go to that mysterious Spirit River.

When a living being falls, the spirit that represents the essence of that being, in Lin Chao's observations, might enter the Spirit River.

It is just that the current Lin Chao is too weak; he can only slightly perceive the Spirit River, let alone enter it.

"Yingxue must still be alive," Wu Xiangyi also murmured; that was her daughter, one of the most important people in her life.

"How is the Wu Kingdom now?" Lin Chao asked.

According to the news he received, nearly a hundred years had also passed in the Wu Kingdom.

"Everything in the Wu Kingdom is well. Sister Zhao Ran, as well as Father and Mother, and Grandfather, they are all still alive..." Wu Xiangyi briefly informed Lin Chao about the affairs of the Wu Kingdom, and how many Single Worlds the Wu Kingdom currently occupies.

"However, Sister Wendi disappeared inexplicably some time ago; perhaps... she encountered some opportunity." Mentioning this, Wu Xiangyi's face also carried confusion.

Wendi's disappearance was also very suspicious and strange.

Regarding Wendi, Wu Xiangyi's feelings were complex.

At the beginning, in the harem of the Martial Emperor Qi Lin, those most favored by the Martial Emperor were Zhao Ran and Wu Xiangyi.

Wu Xiangyi also had the best relationship with Zhao Ran, and the two often served the Emperor in bed together.

As for Wendi, she was not very conspicuous in the harem, but after the fall of the Martial Emperor, Wendi only then began to stand out, revealing extraordinary talent.

Among the harem, only three people reached the Great Heavenly Venerable level, and Wendi was one of them.

The Great Heavenly Venerable Realm is the Sixth Tier.

Lin Chao held Wu Xiangyi, a pitiable face appearing in his mind, and he sighed in his heart.

When he was a young master of a security firm, Lin Chao had gotten to know many people, and Wendi was the younger sister of a good friend.

Lin Chao vaguely remembered that every time he chatted about affairs of the pugilistic world with his friend, there would be a little girl secretly hiding behind a curtain, listening to something, occasionally pulling the curtain open a small slit to peek.

Later, Wendi married him and became one of his harem.

He did not have much contact with Wendi; at first, it was mostly pity.

However, there were also several times when he discovered Wendi secretly looking at him.

For such a woman, Lin Chao also felt quite affectionate in his heart.

Regarding memories of her, Lin Chao still had quite a few impressions.

"It is a pity that I cannot leave here and cannot go to the Wu Kingdom," Lin Chao lamented.

He looked at Wu Xiangyi: "This world is different from the Wu Kingdom.

The world here is a sphere, situated within the universe; it is fundamentally impossible to leave, and impossible to reach other worlds."

"Ah?" Wu Xiangyi was slightly stunned, "Does this mean... it is not as the husband said, that the sky is round and the earth is square?"

After they married, Lin Chao often spoke some idle words with Wu Xiangyi.

Among them, he mentioned that some worlds are not a plane, not round sky and square earth, but a sphere.

To this, Wu Xiangyi could still accept it, but Zhao Ran felt it was strange.

However, as she saw more worlds and learned information about the Great Thousand World from Ana's mouth, Wu Xiangyi only then knew that almost all Single Worlds were the same, like planes.

A planet like this one, she had never seen before.

"It is very strange here. Even though I miss the Wu Kingdom, I cannot leave here.

Follow me to take a look above."

With a wave of Lin Chao's hand, the clothes on Wu Xiangyi were worn neatly again, and he was the same.

"Hold onto me."

Lin Chao also held Wu Xiangyi, and with a vast surge of Spirit Power, Lin Chao took Wu Xiangyi and soared into the air.

Almost instantly, the two broke away from the world, broke away from the atmosphere, and arrived in the universe.

"Look, that blue sphere in front is the world we are currently in."

Lin Chao pointed his finger at the massive blue sphere below.

Looking at that planet from a distance in the universe, there was quite a sense of megalophobia.

"It really is a sphere?" A trace of surprise appeared on Wu Xiangyi's face, "This world is too peculiar."

She looked at that planet, then looked at the surroundings.

"Here... is this not the Void?"

In a normal Single World, if one keeps soaring upwards and flying continuously, breaking through the air currents, one reaches the Void.

In the Void, there are the Sun, the Moon, and stars.

In the Void, there are many hidden Space Channels and some spatial rifts.

Once coordinates are mastered, one can travel to other worlds through the Void.

Of course, if there are some Space Channels in the world, one can also avoid going through the Void.

But the space above this world is not the Void, yet there are also the Sun and other stars.

"This is the Moon." Lin Chao held Wu Xiangyi and arrived on the Moon in an instant.

On the Moon, it was desolate and bleak, without any living beings.

Dead silence, cold isolation; this is the feeling the universe gives Lin Chao.

In a place like this, an ordinary person could not survive at all.

Only those who practice Immortal Cultivation have a chance of survival.

Of course, even for those who practice Immortal Cultivation, low-grade practitioners cannot live here for long.

High-Grade practitioners, if trapped here, will have their Spirit Power gradually exhausted over the erosion of time without replenishment, and after endless years, they will eventually perish.

"This is Heavenly Emperor Star, it has been quite popular lately." Lin Chao brought Wu Xiangyi and, after flying, arrived at Heavenly Emperor Star.

Heavenly Emperor Star is not far from the world they are in; the nearest Daxia has also begun a plan for manned landings on Heavenly Emperor Star, which has been circulating among the people for a long time.

If Lin Chao remembers correctly, in about a few more months, the official landing on Heavenly Emperor Star will take place.

Landing on Heavenly Emperor Star, Lin Chao's Divine Soul swept across.

Just like in the Main World, upon landing on these planets, his Divine Soul is also restricted; it is not as he expected, where a sweep of his Divine Soul would put the world entirely under his control.

"The universe is vast and endless; I fear that even I cannot reach the end.

There is no Void here, no Spirit Power, and no life of any kind.

Everything is dead silence," Lin Chao sighed.

The universe is vast and endless; even Lin Chao cannot reach the end.

Moreover, the Spirit Power within Lin Chao's body is vast, but it is also limited.

If he flies in the universe for too long without Spirit Power replenishment, it is very likely he will not be able to return, ultimately choosing a withered planet to sit and wither away for a lifetime.

"This place... seems like a Prison Cage," Wu Xiangyi could not help but say.

Lin Chao's heart skipped a beat; Wu Xiangyi's words touched him.

Isn't a universe like this just a Prison Cage?

Vast and endless, with no known borders.

Furthermore, to survive in such a world, one needs to constantly maintain the circulation of Spirit Power.

Without Spirit Power replenishment, for every bit of Spirit Power consumed, one becomes a bit weaker.

After endless years, when the Spirit Power is exhausted, one cannot escape death in the end.

Such a universe is truly a perfect Prison Cage.

Lin Chao could not help but look up toward the depths of the universe.

Profound, bright, vast, mysterious.

In the depths of the universe, are the bones of countless powerful beings truly buried there?

Of course, this thought only flashed by.

These were all just wild speculations.

"The universe... its borders are unknown," Lin Chao sighed.

Back on Blue Star, the size of the universe was still being estimated by scientists.

In this world, technology is decades ahead of Blue Star, but there is no definitive conclusion regarding the size of the universe.

"We will definitely be able to get out!" Wu Xiangyi lowered her head, "Right, the Space Channel.

I came through a Space Channel; if we find a Space Channel, perhaps we can go back."

Lin Chao did not speak.

He had tried what Wu Xiangyi mentioned before.

But in this world, it is truly only possible to enter and not to exit; the Space Channel simply does not exist.

"Fenglan..." Wu Xiangyi thought of something, "Back then, Fenglan fell into the Wu Kingdom; now... there might be a chance to leave!"

Lin Chao held Wu Xiangyi: "I will find a way."

That the nation of Fenglan fell into the Wu Kingdom was something Lin Chao was also very surprised by at first.

Regarding this matter, Lin Chao had pondered for a long time.

The opportunity for Fenglan to fall into the Wu Kingdom lay with Lin Ping.

The Lin Ping of that time, who was Lin Chao, Shattered the Void and saw a vast white expanse, then instantly perished; his body, due to some incident, fell into Fenglan, and also brought the entire Fenglan to the Wu Kingdom.

Such an opportunity cannot be replicated.

Moreover, the stronger Lin Chao's strength is now, the more astonished he becomes.

The Lin Ping of that time, Shattering the Void, was very strange, even carrying a hint of probability; even he himself did not think he would succeed.

That state, that feeling, Lin Chao has never experienced in other worlds.

Generally, Shattering the Void in other worlds at most leads to becoming a god, ascending to a God Position, and raising up a God Kingdom.

Lin Ping's Shattering the Void was different from those.

How strong Lin Ping was after Shattering the Void, Lin Chao does not know; he had not even had time to perceive it before he perished.

However, Lin Chao knows that it was a very unique experience, as if the essence of life had sublimated, something even ascending to a God Position cannot compare to.

With the experience of Shattering the Void, even if Lin Chao tries again, it might not necessarily succeed.

This is very bizarre; after all, he now, in terms of realm, talent, and knowledge, far exceeds the time of Lin Pingzhi, yet he still cannot replicate it.

But Lin Chao will not replicate it either.

What if he succeeds, only to perish again?

This time, it is his true body.

Lin Chao held Wu Xiangyi, looking at the profound universe, feeling quite lonely in his heart; he took Wu Xiangyi and eventually left.

Is the universe... truly a cage?

Who is it trapping?

A powerful enemy?

Or could it be that the one trapped is himself?

What exactly is Shattering the Void?

After Shattering the Void, where exactly is the place one arrives at?

All of this is unknown.

Lin Chao knows that the road ahead is still very long, and there are many paths he must walk slowly and explore gradually.

……

In the morning, Ana finally met Wu Xiangyi.

Today's Wu Xiangyi was like a different person compared to yesterday, even more radiant and moving.

Upon seeing Wu Xiangyi, Ana felt incomparably uneasy.

She had not expected that the Martial Emperor of the Wu Kingdom would actually be in this world, and that his strength would be unfathomable.

That Kaluo was not even a match for him in a single exchange.

This kind of strength… it's terrifying.

Ana had a horrifying guess in her heart.

Just then, a gentle voice came: "In this world, as long as you do not misuse Daoist Method or destroy the existing order, I will not restrict you."

To Lin Chao, the Main World is like his home; naturally, he would not let anyone destroy the order here.

"Senior, please rest assured, I will definitely not act recklessly!" Ana said hurriedly, looking at Lin Chao, her heart feeling incomparably uneasy.

For such a powerhouse, wanting to deal with her would be as easy as turning over his hand.

The current Yuanqiu Tribe, even all together, would not be his match.

"I heard you came here to search for Pure-blooded clansmen?" Lin Chao asked again.

Through Wu Xiangyi, he had learned quite a bit of information.

He knew that Ana's purpose was to find Pure-blooded clansmen, which made him very curious.

In his eyes, Ana is not a creature of the Human Race.

That the Pure-blooded of her tribe actually exist in this world.

Among this, there is much worth noting.

However, thinking of that person from the Moore Family—the one they had casually wiped out—Lin Chao had some guesses in his heart.

The Main World… seems to have loopholes; one can only enter, not leave, and people often accidentally fall into it.

Ana's clansmen might be the same.

"Yes," Ana replied.

"When you find that clansman, let me know; I would like to take a look," Lin Chao said casually.

"No problem." Ana certainly would not refuse; she dared not offend the senior before her.

Even with the connection through Wu Xiangyi, that did not count for much.

She was very glad that she had not forced Wu Xiangyi to let her go to the Space Channel, but had instead chosen to cooperate.

If she had used forceful means back then, she would likely be suffering the same fate as Kaluo now.

"Fellow Daoist Ana, farewell." Wu Xiangyi held onto Lin Chao and bid farewell to Ana.

Since her husband is here, she naturally must follow him and will not head to Daxia with Ana.

"Farewell." Ana's eyes held a trace of envy.

Lin Chao held Wu Xiangyi, and the two arrived at the hotel restaurant.

"Who was that girl this morning? She gave me a rather peculiar feeling," Wu Xiangyi was pondering something.

This morning, she had met with Qi Xueyan.

For some reason, the feeling Qi Xueyan gave her was quite peculiar.

"She is my… good friend. I came here with her for a trip, and I happened to come here to handle some matters," Lin Chao answered truthfully.

"She is quite pretty." Wu Xiangyi had a smile on her face, then laughed again, "Why not take her into your harem?"

Being with Lin Chao, her mood was quite relaxed, and she loved to laugh and crack jokes.

Moreover, she was originally an ancient person and also an Immortal Cultivation practitioner.

The Martial Emperor is an Emperor, and having three thousand beauties in the harem was nothing to Wu Xiangyi.

"Haha." Lin Chao also laughed and teased, "When she came over, you even deliberately held me tighter."

His feelings toward Qi Xueyan were very complex.

The feeling Qi Xueyan gave him was also very special.

The relationship between the two is currently maintained as relatively intimate.

If Lin Chao were an Ordinary person, perhaps the two would naturally fall in love?

Of course, there might also be the scenario of 'don't bully the young because they are poor'.

If Lin Chao remembered correctly, Qi Xueyan's family… was very powerful and wealthy.

Of course, none of this mattered.

"Tomorrow, let's return to Daxia.

However, there is no Palace to live in here, so you will have to suffer and squeeze into a rental apartment with me," Lin Chao smiled, feeling quite relaxed.

Wu Xiangyi also had a smile on her face: "Being able to be with my husband is enough."

A thousand years of time, lost and regained, is even more precious.
