Chapter 311: Collective Entry into the Journey to the West World

Hearing Lu Yun speak of this matter, the others could not help but become curious.

Changxi asked, "Lu Yun, where exactly did you seal Hongjun and the others?"

The others all looked toward Lu Yun.

Lu Yun grinned and said, "Inside another Great Desolation!"

Everyone was stunned; even Yang Mei was bewildered, unable to comprehend what "another Great Desolation" could be. Seeing this, Lu Yun had no choice but to begin explaining to them what a Multiverse Chaos was!

"Beyond the Chaos we inhabit, there exist countless similar Chaos Spaces. They are independent yet interconnected, together forming a vast Multiverse Chaos system. Among these Chaos Spaces, some are similar, while others are vastly different; each possesses its own unique Great Dao Law." Lu Yun spoke slowly, his gaze deep as he looked into the distance, as if piercing through the void to see into the depths of the endless Chaos.

"And the 'other Great Desolation' I speak of exists in one of these countless Chaos Spaces. It is extremely similar to the Great Desolation we inhabit, yet in certain aspects, it is fundamentally different. I utilized it as a trap to imprison Hongjun and the Saints of the Heavenly Dao Faction, and severed the passage between the two worlds, so Hongjun and the others cannot hinder us from controlling the Great Desolation."

Upon hearing this, everyone wore expressions of shock.

They had never imagined that beyond the Chaos Space they inhabited, there existed such a vast Multiverse Chaos system.

"Then, how did you discover this 'other Great Desolation'?" Nuwa asked curiously, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and longing for the unknown world.

Lu Yun smiled slightly and explained, "This was actually a matter of chance. In the process of exploring the myriad worlds of the heavens, I accidentally triggered some special opportunities. Through these opportunities, I gradually sensed the existence of the Multiverse Chaos and found the passage leading to the 'other Great Desolation'."

"So that's how it is." Everyone nodded one after another.

"What is the other Great Desolation like? Do people like us exist there too?" Houtu asked with great interest.

The others were equally curious about this question.

Lu Yun pondered for a moment and said, "I only explored it preliminarily before, so I am not too sure. However, there are indeed many people there similar to those in our world, but not everyone is present."

These words immediately made everyone even more astonished.

Zhurong said impatiently, "Could it be that if we go to that world now, we might even meet another version of ourselves?"

Lu Yun glanced at him and said, "Regrettably, in that world, there did indeed once exist a Zhurong, but that Zhurong has been dead for many years now."

Zhurong was dumbfounded, then said with some annoyance, "The Zhurong of the other world is actually so useless?"

Although it was his own self from another world who had died, he still felt inexplicably displeased upon learning this news.

The others then asked Lu Yun one after another whether they also existed in the other world, and what the situation was like now.

Lu Yun could not explain it to them one by one, so he could only say, "As for the specific situation, everyone should go and explore it personally, and you will naturally know! I imagine that will be more interesting!"

The others thought this made sense, so they were no longer in a hurry to have Lu Yun "spoil" it for them, and prepared to explore it themselves.

Gonggong rubbed his hands and said, "Then shall we set off now?"

Houtu, however, said, "We can't all go together, right? Otherwise, if something happens here in the Great Desolation, we won't be able to rush back!"

Everyone felt this was reasonable, and at the same time, they could not help but become a bit anxious.

Clearly, no one wanted to be left behind to guard the Great Desolation.

Lu Yun smiled and said, "It's fine, I can leave behind some incarnations to guard it. Nothing will go wrong here in the Great Desolation, and even if there is some change, we can still rush back."

After a slight pause, he added, "However, once we enter the other Chaos Space, our strength may be restricted; after all, we cannot draw upon the power of the Great Desolation's heaven and earth at will over there. And the Great Dao Laws there will also differ from ours; even those who have Proved the Dao might see their strength decrease after going there."

Everyone understood immediately.

The meaning of these words was undoubtedly that the Heavenly Dao, Earthly Dao, and Human Dao Saints among them would likely only be Quasi-Saints once they arrived there.

Even those at the Primordial Origin level might see their strength drop directly due to the different Great Dao Laws.

But even so, everyone was still full of interest in the other Great Desolation world.

Even Great Immortal Yang Mei could not help but ask, "Your Majesty Saint Emperor, may I also follow along?"

Lu Yun smiled slightly, looked at Great Immortal Yang Mei, and said, "You may naturally come along as well. However, you must understand that once you reach another world, everything must start anew. If you can conduct yourself properly, perhaps you can find new opportunities there."

Upon hearing this, a complex emotion surged in Great Immortal Yang Mei's heart. He knew well that he had no other choice now but to follow Lu Yun to that unknown world. But at the same time, he was full of curiosity and anticipation for that world.

"Many thanks to Your Majesty Saint Emperor for giving me this opportunity." Great Immortal Yang Mei bowed and saluted, expressing his gratitude.

He decided that he must perform well once he arrived there!

After all, following Lu Yun clearly had a bright future; if he gained Lu Yun's favor, he might have even greater room for development in the future.

Subsequently, Lu Yun employed the Hongmeng Incarnation Technique, leaving behind dozens of incarnations scattered throughout this heaven and earth.

Afterward, he cast a secret technique on everyone to directly conceal their auras, so as to avoid being discovered the moment they entered that world.

After doing this, Lu Yun turned to look at the others and said, "Then, let us set off."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and then, under Lu Yun's lead, they stepped together into the passage leading to the other Great Desolation world.

Inside the passage, the space twisted and changed unpredictably, as if they were situated within the endless Chaos. Everyone only felt as if they were being pulled forward by a powerful force.

It is unknown how much time passed, but when they finally traversed the passage and arrived in the other world, the scene before their eyes left them shocked.

"Is this the other Great Desolation?"

"I can feel it; the laws of this heaven and earth are indeed different from the Great Desolation we inhabit!"

"Eh, why is this world not one single piece of Primordial Land, but divided into four?"

"No! Besides the four continents, there are also many scattered small worlds!"

"Why does it feel like the concentration of spiritual energy in this world is much worse than ours?"

"Strange, why is there no Mount Buzhou in this world?"

……

Everyone discussed it one after another, and each of them was also curiously investigating everything in this world. Lu Yun was also investigating the surroundings.

Originally, he had thought that after they came over, they would immediately see the destruction caused by Hongjun and the others, or encounter some attack.

Who would have thought that it would be calm and peaceful after arriving.

He simply introduced to everyone, "I have named this world the Journey to the West World! As for why it is called this name, you can all explore separately, and you will probably know when you return!"

Hearing Lu Yun tell everyone to disperse, they were astonished once again.

Fuxi could not help but say, "Is it really okay for us to disperse?"

This was, after all, an unfamiliar world.

Moreover, according to what Lu Yun said, this world was similar to the Great Desolation, so there must certainly exist Saints.

Their strength has currently all declined, and the danger of acting separately is indeed relatively high.

Lu Yun said, "Rest assured, there are only eight Saints in this world in total; as long as you do not act alone, you can still ensure your own safety!"

Upon hearing this, the worry in everyone's hearts eased slightly. Since Lu Yun had said so, they were naturally willing to trust his judgment.

Fuxi nodded and said to everyone, "Since that is the case, let us act in separate groups. Everyone keep in touch and call for help in time if you encounter danger."

Everyone expressed their agreement and began to discuss the grouping. In the end, they decided to split into several small groups, each led by one or two former Saints to ensure safety.

Watching everyone finish grouping, Lu Yun smiled slightly and said, "Alright, since the groups are set, let us all set off. Remember, while exploring, also keep an eye on the situation in this world, especially those who might be powerful experts."

Everyone nodded, unfolded their forms, and flew off in different directions.

Lu Yun himself naturally began to wander around this world as well.

To show his loyalty, Yang Mei chose to stay by his side and act with him.

As Lu Yun flew casually, he muttered to himself, "I wonder where Hongjun and the others went? Could they have been dealt with by the Saints of this world?"

Yangmei Daxian, who was to the side, suggested, "Why don't we find the powerful experts of this world and ask?"

Lu Yun felt that his suggestion was quite good.

Because his and Yang Mei's strength had not been significantly affected, he was not afraid at all even when facing the Saints of this world.

Thus, he nodded and said, "Good, since that is the case, let us go directly to the Heavenly Court of this world to take a look!"

The two figures unfolded, turning into two streams of light that tore through the sky, speeding toward the location of the Heavenly Court in the Journey to the West World.

As they approached, the magnificent sight of the Heavenly Court gradually came into view; it was a vast complex of palaces suspended above the clouds, resplendent with gold and jade, wreathed in immortal aura, and revealing endless majesty and divinity.

With the cultivation of Lu Yun and Yangmei Daxian, they easily passed through the heavy guards of the Heavenly Court and arrived before the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

Inside the treasure hall, several immortals and gods sat upright, seemingly in the middle of some important meeting. Lu Yun and Yangmei Daxian did not barge in directly, but instead hid to the side to observe the situation inside the hall.

Upon looking, they discovered that the Jade Emperor in the hall and the various immortals and gods below were actually using the Haotian Mirror to watch a battlefield.

The two looked carefully and discovered that the two sides fighting on the battlefield were very strange; they were actually two Hongjuns, each leading several Saints, fighting each other in the Chaos! Lu Yun recognized at a glance that one side was the group of Saints from the Heavenly Dao Faction he had sent to this world.

The reason was that besides Hongjun, Laozi, Tongtian, Yuanshi, Zhunti, and Jieyin, there were also the two Saints Kunpeng and Minghe on that side.

As for the Hongjun on the other side, the Saints under his command were Laozi, Tongtian, Yuanshi, Zhunti, Jieyin, and Nuwa—six people! Seeing this scene, Yang Mei was stunned for a moment.

Although he had already learned from Lu Yun that there existed people in this world who were the same as or similar to those in the Great Desolation, he had never expected them to be similar to this extent!

Those two Hongjuns were almost identical, to the point that even he could not distinguish them.

He could not help but feel his scalp tingle: Could it be that this world also has another me? Lu Yun, on the other hand, was full of interest and clicked his tongue in admiration, "I didn't expect that I would be able to see such a good show as soon as I arrived!"

He directly called out to Yang Mei, saying, "Let's go, let's go into the Chaos and watch this battle in person!"

Yang Mei quickly came back to his senses and nodded in agreement.

Immediately, the two left the Heavenly Court again and headed straight for the Chaos.

In the Chaos, two figures shuttled like lightning; they were none other than Lu Yun and Yangmei Daxian. They quickly approached the chaotic region where the intense battle was taking place.

As the distance closed, the roar of the battle and the sparks of colliding laws became increasingly clear. Lu Yun and Yangmei Daxian hid in the dark currents of the Chaos, quietly observing this unprecedented duel.

"These two Hongjuns, their strength is actually so similar," Yangmei Daxian exclaimed, his eyes flashing with curiosity and awe for the unknown.

Lu Yun smiled slightly and explained, "Although the Great Dao Laws of these two worlds have differences, the foundations are similar, so their cultivation realms are also similar. However, what truly determines the outcome is likely the battle strategy and the understanding of the Great Dao."

While speaking, the battle had entered a white-hot stage. One could see the two Hongjuns each unleashing their Supernatural Power; one side condensed the essence of heaven and earth into a huge magical artifact to bombard the opponent, while the other used mysterious law power to construct layers of spatial traps, attempting to trap the enemy.

The other Saints were also fighting their own battles in the melee, their magical artifacts and Supernatural Powers weaving into a brilliant curtain of light, illuminating the entire chaotic region as if it were broad daylight.

However, in this chaos, Lu Yun keenly sensed that something was wrong.

"Look, the Great Desolation Hongjun over there seems to be struggling," Lu Yun said, pointing to one side of the battlefield.

Yangmei Daxian observed carefully and indeed discovered that the side pointed out—the Hongjun from the Great Desolation—although seemingly strong on the surface, revealed a bit of strain and sluggishness in his offensive.

By contrast, the Journey to the West World Hongjun on the other side appeared to have plenty of energy to spare, as if he had absolute control over this battle.

"Could it be..." Yangmei Daxian was lost in thought.

"That's right," Lu Yun nodded, "The Hongjun of this world likely has a deeper control over the world, or a deeper understanding of the Great Dao of this world. As for the Hongjun of the Great Desolation world, he is a rootless duckweed after all; without the support of the Great Desolation world, he only counts as a Hunyuan Saint!"

But just when Lu Yun and the others thought the Great Desolation Hongjun's side was about to be defeated, both sides suddenly stopped at the same time, and then all charged toward Lu Yun and the others! (End of this chapter)
