Chapter 1342: Tears

The three Primordial Ancestor Gods acted as the envoys of the Primordial Universe’s origin will. At this moment, the multicolored radiance surrounding them embodied the divine power of fundamental laws—metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, lightning, light, time, and space—continuously emanating boundless divine pressure. Clearly, such overwhelming presence couldn’t be achieved by the three Ancestor Gods alone—this was undeniably the “blessing” bestowed by the Primordial Universe’s origin will. To some degree, it also substantiated that the Ancestor Gods’ declarations were far from groundless.

(Note: “威能” is translated as “divine power” to convey its supernatural authority, while “威压” becomes “divine pressure” to maintain the majestic and overwhelming connotation. The structure is adjusted for natural English flow while preserving all original elements, including the enumeration of cosmic laws.)

“This small universe, we have tried before. touching the membrane wall would result in death.”

“There’s absolutely no way in.”

Immediately, a powerful being asked urgently.

A two-faced Ancestor God beside the three Primordial Ancestor Gods spoke, “If you intrude recklessly, naturally you cannot enter. This ‘Jin World’ is no ordinary place… Under normal circumstances, even after thousands or tens of thousands of samsara eras, it would never appear. However—in the Infinite Cosmic Sea, everything follows its own laws. Now, it is time for it to appear.”

Without even asking how to enter, the words from the two-faced Ancestor God already caused a tremor among the great powers of the Cosmic Sea!

To appear?

What does it mean “to appear”?

Under normal circumstances, it wouldn’t appear even after thousands or tens of thousands of samsara eras?

“What exactly is going on?” Luo Feng was shocked and transmitted a message to the nearby Chaos City Lord, “Teacher, according to the words of the three Ancestor Gods, it seems that the appearance of the ‘Jin World’ has special significance.”

“Hmm.” The Chaos City Lord nodded solemnly. “Everything follows its own laws. Although the will of the Primordial Universe’s origin is powerful, it is very transcendent, neither good nor evil—it simply follows the most basic rules. Even when dealing with a cosmic lord like Yuan’ao or Haolei Star Lord, it must rely on other powerful beings to act. Obviously, it is not omnipotent. Even with Original Ancestor, the will of the origin can only suppress, not kill.”

Luo Feng nodded.

Yes.

Everything must follow the invisible laws. Obviously, under normal circumstances, this enormous entity should not appear. But now—it is time for it to appear! This clearly indicates that this era has entered a special stage unlike any other samsara era.

“The Jin World,” spoke an Ancestor God whose appearance was the most refined, with a red-scaled tail like a young boy. “It contains boundless dangers, yet also infinite opportunities. It is even more unique than the other three forbidden lands… That enormous entity is of no benefit to the entire Cosmic Sea. The ‘Jin World’ within it is the truly important place.”

“To enter the Jin World, one must await the opportune moment. The power of the cosmic membrane wall of the Jin World fluctuates in cycles. When it turns black, its power is at its peak. When it turns white, its power is at its weakest—ordinary cosmic lords can pass through with ease. Each cycle… lasts approximately an eon.”

“Just wait. Wait until the membrane wall of the Jin World turns white, then you may enter.”

As the Ancestor God spoke, the great powers immediately began to stir.

A cycle?

At first, many powerful beings wanted to rush there immediately. But upon recalling that the cycle lasted a full eon, they restrained themselves and continued listening.

“The Jin World is mysterious and unpredictable,” said the central aged Ancestor God. “There are even living beings within the Jin World.”

“Living beings?”

“What!”

“There are living beings?”

The thousands of top existences in the Cosmic Sea were all greatly shocked. Luo Feng was also astonished. The three forbidden lands like the Cosmic Boat did not contain any living beings.

“The living beings of the Jin World can only live within the Jin World. They cannot come out. Once they do, they will die without fail. If you enter… when you come out, you can only bring out inanimate objects. If you bring out any living being, you are effectively killing them.”

“Furthermore, the Jin World also contains the secret to transcending samsara.”

Boom!

It was like a bomb had exploded. The gathered thousands of existences were truly excited. The secret to transcending samsara—wasn’t that what they all longed for the most?

“Remember!” the aged Ancestor God continued. “You may explore and discover the secret of transcending samsara and the secrets of the Jin World after entering. However, once you leave the Jin World, you absolutely must not reveal them. Of course… even if you wish to reveal them, you will be unable to.”

Each one fell into deep thought.

Luo Feng instantly grasped the situation—it was exactly like the inheritance of the Dandonghe lineage he had received. He couldn’t perceive anything beyond the surface. Even though the Nine Calamities Secret Manual was bestowed upon him by the Mountain Master, transmitting it to even a single disciple required him to pay a substantial price. Clearly, an unseen “law” was governing all of this.

“The secret of transcending samsara? The secrets of the Jin World?” Luo Feng’s heart surged.

He clearly understood.

In so many previous samsara eras, the “Jin World” had never appeared. This time, its appearance might be the closest he would ever get to the secrets of the Cosmic Sea.

“The Jin World shall be the fourth forbidden land of the Cosmic Sea,” said the aged Ancestor God. “Everyone must remember… when an opportunity comes, so too does danger lurking nearby. The Jin World is far more dangerous than the Qingfeng Realm, Liuzhong Mountain, and the Cosmic Boat.”

“Let’s go.”

The three Ancestor Gods exchanged glances, then vanished directly, leaving.

The thousands of powerful beings in the Cosmic Sea also quickly departed, returning to their Palace Treasures one by one. A large group of elites from the Hong Alliance also immediately returned to the Tomb Voyage Ship.

The three generations of Ancestor Gods, as representatives of the will of the Primordial Universe’s origin, had conveyed their messages and warnings. However, the various powers of the Cosmic Sea still dared not fully trust them. They cautiously began to explore and soon discovered… there was no danger along the route leading into the natural wormhole. Once through the wormhole, one could reach the hidden space and see the small universe—the Jin World.

“Luo Feng, the Jin World has never been explored by any powerful being before. It is too dangerous for you to go in now. If something goes wrong, it will be a huge loss for you,” the Chaos City Lord advised.

Luo Feng was carrying many treasures.

If he really lost them, it would indeed be a great loss.

“Teacher, I cannot give up such an opportunity. Besides, I have clones. Even if I fail, I can still recover,” Luo Feng said. “Teacher, please don’t worry.”

Luo Feng split into two paths.

One path was to create a Mosha Clan clone with part of his divine power, and have the clone take the ‘Shi Wu Wings’ and ‘Star Tower’ to return to the Primordial Universe. After all, everything about the Jin World was unknown… if he brought all his treasures inside and failed, he would lose everything and regret it too late.

The other path was for Luo Feng’s Earthling self and his Jingu Beast clone to carry the Blood Shadow Blade and the Tomb Voyage Ship, preparing to enter the ‘Jin World’.

Following the natural wormhole, they arrived at another space.

The Tomb Voyage Ship hovered in place as Luo Feng gazed into the distance at a small universe. It was a deep blue small universe, clearly not yet the time to enter.

“Even without any treasures, with my current combat power, I can still stand at the peak of the Cosmic Sea,” Luo Feng was confident. He simply did not want to gamble all his treasures, so he sent back the Shi Wu Wings and Star Tower. But he still charged in with the Blood Shadow Blade and Tomb Voyage Ship—it was already enough!

“Just wait, wait for the moment when the Jin World can be entered.”

The Tomb Voyage Ship waited silently.

At this moment—

That tiny, deep blue universe appeared to be only about ten million light-years in diameter from the outside. Yet, its power was countless times greater than even the small universe of the mightiest cosmic entity.

Floating around it were countless Palace Treasures. All the great powers of the Cosmic Sea had powerful beings waiting… Of course, as a place never explored by any powerful being before and known to be dangerous, few factions dared to send their entire forces inside. Most only sent a small number of powerful beings to explore first.

Approximately over 200 powerful beings (including the strongest cosmic lords) were ready to enter first.

Over 200 powerful beings ready to explore were waiting outside the Jin World, while the majority of other powerful beings from the great factions of the Cosmic Sea had already begun returning, such as the Hong Alliance’s expedition team, which was heading back to the Primordial Universe.

Therefore…

At this moment, the enormous humanoid-like creature containing the Jin World was already very quiet, unlike the previous bustling scene. Only a few powerful beings remained stationed in the void.

“Whoosh~~~”

The space rippled.

A figure appeared out of nowhere. He had crystalline twin horns on his forehead and wore a black robe that shimmered with dark light—it was ‘Sitting Mountain Guest’. Although Sitting Mountain Guest had already arrived, no one had noticed him during the previous explorations by various factions or the public announcement by the three Ancestor Gods.

Even Luo Feng had not detected his teacher, Sitting Mountain Guest. He had even used his token to inquire about Sitting Mountain Guest, but there had been no response.

Sitting Mountain Guest stood in the void, silently gazing at the enormous humanoid-like creature ahead. He looked at it silently, his gaze passing through time and space, falling on every inch of the humanoid-like creature—its hair, eyes, nose, ears, mouth, and even the ancient armor it wore.

He observed it with incredible care.

As if he were examining an incredible treasure.

“Finally…” Sitting Mountain Guest murmured softly. “It has come.”

He stepped forward.

With each step, he teleported forward. Soon, he landed on the body of the humanoid-like creature.

Stepping on the vast, undulating mountains, Sitting Mountain Guest advanced with each step. Each step was a teleportation. He arrived at the creature’s fingers, then its shoulders, even reaching its waist… where there was a damaged wound.

This was a wound in the armor.

Sitting Mountain Guest touched this damaged part of the armor. To him, however, this 9 million light-year-long wound was enormous.

“Hah…”

Sitting Mountain Guest suddenly laughed in a hoarse voice.

“Hahaha, hahahaha…” Suddenly, the Seated Mountain Guest erupted into uproarious laughter. He laughed so violently that his entire body shook, the laughter growing increasingly manic. Gradually, that frenzied laughter turned shrill and piercing, saturated with boundless hatred and madness.

The laughter gradually faded.

Sitting Mountain Guest slowly sat down, gently stroking the armor. Crystalline, golden tears silently slid down his face.

“It’s come.”

“It’s come.” Sitting Mountain Guest’s fingers trembled as he stroked the armor.

“The Jin World!”

“The will of the Primordial Universe’s origin, naming it the Jin World? Jin… Jin…” Sitting Mountain Guest murmured. “Even the emotionless will of the Primordial Universe’s origin still remembers ‘Jin’?”

Sitting Mountain Guest raised his head, gazing into the endless void.

Boom~~~~

The chaotic currents in the void were in motion, a powerful will faintly present.

“I won’t be as foolish as Original Ancestor, giving you a chance.” Sitting Mountain Guest shook his head, then stepped into the void and vanished.
