Chapter 186 Opportunity

A large group of near-third realm beings, including Xu Jingming, were excited.

"To think I'd encounter such an opportunity."

"A mysterious region related to an ultimate existence?"

These near-third realm beings were in turmoil, and their hearts were filled with unprecedented fervor! At their level, they had long enjoyed everything they should have. There wasn't much left that they yearned to pursue.

Those 'near-third realm' beings who cultivated from low-dimensional lifeforms, such as Xu Jingming and Gu Mo, yearned to revive their most important loved ones.

Those who were born as high-dimensional lifeforms were inherently lonely. They yearned to make up for their regrets and reach even higher levels.

Therefore, near-third realm beings generally liked to explore dangerous places and seek opportunities! The vast majority of them lost their lives while 'seeking opportunities.' Even so, they were unwilling to stop.

"I've lived for 15 Abyssal Epochs, and this is the first time I've encountered a mysterious region related to an ultimate existence! This is my luck!"

"Hurry and contact my master; he will definitely be happy."

"Quick, quick, quick, to the Cloud Feather Palace!"

These near-third realm beings were very excited.

"Let's go over quickly too." Xu Jingming and Island Lord Di Long also headed toward the Cloud Feather Palace.

"I never expected that we would encounter a dangerous place related to an ultimate existence in our lifetime," Island Lord Di Long said excitedly.

Xu Jingming nodded and immediately contacted some of his friends through karma, such as World Realm Master Gu Shu, Rong Shi, and Bei Yan, one by one: "Hurry to Featherfire City! Hurry! Don't ask so many questions; you'll know when you get here."

Cloud Feather Palace on the mountaintop.

Xu Jingming and Island Lord Di Long entered together and saw that more than a thousand near-third realm beings had already gathered. However, in the vast palace, this number of high-dimensional lifeforms still seemed sparse.

"Buzz."

The moment Xu Jingming entered the palace, he received information that the Cloud Feather Palace would be teleporting once every hour! Directly to the vicinity of that mysterious region.

"We'll be teleporting regularly later," Island Lord Di Long nodded and frowned. "But I don't have my powerful treasures with me."

"My weapons aren't here either," Xu Jingming nodded.

The avatars left in Featherfire City were generally there to gather information and trade treasures; the treasures they carried were very ordinary. His third realm mind-power spear was in his Mind Realm territory.

"Now that time is precious, we can only go in first," Island Lord Di Long said. "We can arrange for an avatar to bring the treasures later."

"I can travel through the Abyss and the Mind Realm to get here in two days," Xu Jingming said.

As his strength increased, his Mind Realm teleportation distance became longer and longer. Moreover, the Abyss had a very short route, so he could arrive so quickly.

"Your travel speed is getting faster and faster. Take me with you next time," Island Lord Di Long said with a smile, then solemnly said, "However, Featherfire Lord isn't exploring a mysterious region related to an ultimate existence himself, but is letting us explore? That is indeed a little strange."

Xu Jingming nodded slightly.

Third realm beings would explore places with traces of ultimate existences like crazy. The piece of paper he obtained was just a single spear technique left behind by an ultimate existence, and Lord Lou Ye valued it greatly.

This time, Featherfire Lord publicly announced the news and let them, these near-third realm beings, explore. Xu Jingming also felt puzzled.

"Brother Wu Ming."

"Wu Ming."

A group of figures rushed over. It was World Realm Master Gu Shu, Rong Shi, Bei Yan, River Lord Bei He, and the others. They were all friends invited by Xu Jingming and Island Lord Di Long.

"This is a big commotion," Rong Shi said with a smile.

"So many as several thousand near-third realm beings have gathered so quickly?" World Realm Master Gu Shu also looked around in amazement.

"We should be the first batch," Island Lord Di Long said. "As time passes, more near-third realm beings will rush over."

"Island Lord Di Long, do you know some secrets about this mysterious region?" Bei Yan asked. After all, Island Lord Di Long was a personal disciple of a third realm being.

"I don't know."

Island Lord Di Long shook his head. "I also saw the information on the rock wall and learned that there was such a place."

Bei Yan shook his head and said, "Time is too tight; my treasures aren't with me either."

"We don't have them either," Xu Jingming said. "Let's arrange for other avatars to send the treasures."

"That's all we can do."

They had to seize the time. When exploring dangerous places, sometimes being a step slower meant missing out on treasures.

"Everyone—" A figure appeared in the Cloud Feather Palace. It was a towering serpent with a vast aura, looking at the many near-third realm beings present.

Xu Jingming and the others certainly recognized 'Feather Serpent.' Feather Serpent was one of Featherfire Lord's personal disciples and an invincible existence among near-third realm beings. He was in charge of Featherfire Mountain's affairs for a long time.

"Master is benevolent and has made the news of the mysterious region public," Feather Serpent said. "You will be the first batch to be teleported there by the Cloud Feather Palace, so I will explain the details. Three days ago, a mysterious region appeared deep in the Abyss! It has attracted the attention of many third realm beings."

"All the third realm beings in our entire spacetime should have rushed over," Feather Serpent said.

Xu Jingming and the others were shocked.

All the third realm beings in the entire spacetime have gone?

"There is a powerful rule suppression there," Feather Serpent said. "Third realm beings cannot enter! You should understand… to establish rules that even third realm beings cannot enter, only an ultimate existence can do that."

Xu Jingming and the others listened intently.

Speaking follows the law, establishing rules. Third realm beings could establish rules within a certain range. However, the rules they set could not bind other third realm beings.

"Therefore, many third realm beings have sent a large number of invincible near-third realm beings and Abyssal Monarchs to explore," Feather Serpent said. "When you go to the mysterious region, you need to be careful of the dangers of the mysterious region itself, and you also need to be careful of other powerhouses."

"I can tell you for sure…"

Feather Serpent swept his gaze over all the near-third realm beings present. "Throughout the entire spacetime, a large number of invincible near-third realm beings have already arrived at the mysterious region. You are already two or three days late."

"Alright, those who don't want to go can give up. The Cloud Feather Palace teleportation will be activated soon," Feather Serpent said and stopped talking.

The many near-third realm beings present, now numbering over ten thousand, were somewhat stimulated.

Invincible near-third realm beings referred to those whose strength had reached a certain limit! They represented the ceiling of strength among 'near-third realm beings.' Even if they cultivated more techniques, the improvement would be very weak.

The gap between invincible near-third realm beings was very small. For one to easily defeat another? That simply didn't exist!

"Bei He, are you still going?" World Realm Master Gu Shu asked. Among the group of companions around him, River Lord Bei He was the weakest. Island Lord Di Long at least had enough treasures and was a third realm disciple!

"I'm going."

River Lord Bei He's eyes were firm. "I've lived for so long, and this is the biggest opportunity I've encountered. I must seize it."

"Stick close to us," Xu Jingming reminded.

River Lord Bei He nodded; he knew his limits very well.

Soon—

"Buzz!" The light inside the Cloud Feather Palace slowly lit up. An invisible light isolated the inside and outside of the palace. Some near-third realm beings were still rushing to the palace outside.

"Wait a moment."

"Wait for us." Some near-third realm beings were a little anxious outside the palace.

Then, all the near-third realm beings inside the palace disappeared. Only then did the light dissipate, and the near-third realm beings outside the palace entered the palace.

"We can only wait for the next batch." They could only suppress their eagerness. After all, they had explored a large number of dangerous places over the long years, but they had never explored a dangerous place related to an ultimate existence. How could they not be eager?

If they seized this opportunity, they could soar into the sky.

As for danger? They had long been prepared to face danger when exploring dangerous places.

******

In the void outside the mysterious region, tens of thousands of figures appeared out of thin air. It was Xu Jingming and the many other near-third realm beings.

"It's there."

Xu Jingming and the others were all staring into the distance.

Because in the surrounding vast void, only the distant area was constantly spreading terrifying spacetime fluctuations. They could even see some near-third realm beings flying into that spacetime fluctuation region and disappearing after flying in.

"Let's go over quickly." Xu Jingming and the other tens of thousands of figures were unwilling to waste time and flew toward it.

"Another batch has arrived!"

In the distance, there were 35 towering figures.

These 35 towering existences were all the third realm existences in this parallel spacetime.

Faced with the place left behind by an ultimate existence, they all rushed over and watched with envy. It was a pity that the ultimate existence had set a limit on the rules, making it impossible for them to enter.

"Featherfire Lord, you are benevolent to let a large number of ordinary near-third realm beings enter," a chubby figure in a yellow robe said with a smile. "With so many invincible near-third realm beings and Abyssal Monarchs, these ordinary near-third realm beings have no way to compete."

"We always have to give them a chance," Featherfire Lord said. "Even if they can only explore the periphery, they can still hope to get some opportunities. Maybe they can use this to add a new third realm being."

"Is it so easy to become a third realm being? Throughout our entire parallel spacetime, only 35 are alive to this day."

"Featherfire Lord, you have been cultivating weaklings for a long time, but you haven't cultivated a single third realm being, have you?"

"Third realm beings cannot be cultivated."

These 35 towering figures chatted idly.

They could not enter, so they could only observe the 'timelines' of those near-third realm beings who entered to peek at their experiences and understand what they had discovered in the mysterious region.

"So many near-third realm beings have gone in, but they are still on the periphery. None of them have found the true treasure land of the ultimate existence," Lord Ke Ye said and looked at Old Master Xu, the Drunken翁, "Drunken翁, the ultimate existence left such a place for a purpose, right?"

"Who knows what the ultimate existence is thinking?" Old Master Xu shook his head. "Maybe there is a purpose, or maybe doing things doesn't need a purpose. Just leaving behind an opportunity casually."

While observing the timelines and understanding the experiences of the near-third realm beings inside, Old Master Xu also noticed 'Xu Jingming' among the tens of thousands of near-third realm beings, watching Xu Jingming also fly into that region.

"Jingming has also gone in." Old Master Xu naturally cared about his grandson, but he also understood that it was not appropriate for him to intervene.

"Yes, sometimes ultimate existences do things without a purpose." These third realm beings also watched from afar.

…

Xu Jingming and his tens of thousands of companions flew into this spacetime fluctuation region together. They only felt that the rule suppression was extremely terrifying. Xu Jingming could not perform Mind Realm teleportation either and could only fly obediently.

"What terrifying spacetime fluctuations." As he flew, Xu Jingming felt the surrounding spacetime distort and change.

"Everyone, be careful." Bei Yan's expression changed. "The spacetime distortion ahead is even more terrifying. We may be separated at any time."

"We're going to be separated?" River Lord Bei He's expression changed slightly. He was the weakest in the group.

Suddenly, a terrifying spacetime fluctuation swept through Xu Jingming and the others. For a moment, Xu Jingming only felt the spacetime distort and change. When the spacetime stabilized slightly, Xu Jingming looked around and could not see a single companion.
