Chapter 533 The Light of a Name
Yu Cang stood in front of the door to the eighteenth floor.
Holding his breath for a long time made his face a little red, but it was okay, because the soul card master's breath holding time was much longer than that of ordinary people.
Just standing in front of the door, a piercing sense of crisis continuously surged out from behind the door, blowing across his body, as if a cold light was shining on his back.
Before I even entered, I already felt like I was going to die.
The soul card master's intuition has always been very accurate, so Yu Cang knew that if he entered rashly, he would most likely die in there.
In fact, he didn't even need to go in. He was almost dead right now just standing on the seventeenth floor.
Apparently, Yu Cang wasn't the only one who discovered he was going to die.
Ao Hai's figure appeared behind Yu Cang at some point, his expression very serious, and it looked like he would pull Yu Cang back at any time.
Yu Cang seemed oblivious to Ao Hai's presence. He closed his eyes, feeling the tension between his body and the space, trying to adapt in a more perfect way. But no matter what he did, the sense of danger coming from the front remained undiminished.
In other words, even if it is weakened, it is still far beyond the lethal dose.
After a while, Yu Cang slowly opened his eyes. He subconsciously wanted to take a deep breath, but was choked by the thin air.
"Yu Cang." Ao Hai said from behind, "We can explore the area ahead later."
Yu Cang: “?”
So you too.
Ao Hai continued, "I know a genius like you always wants to challenge your limits, but the seventeenth floor is the limit of level six. This is an objective fact, and there is no room for maneuver... I'll take you to a lower floor first."
Yu Cang turned around and glanced at Gu Jieshuang who was standing beside him with a worried look on her face.
Then he nodded: "Okay... take me to the fifteenth floor."
With the experience of Ao Hai sending him back to the twelfth floor last time, Yu Cang mentioned it more specifically.
The feeling of contradiction brought about by crossing several levels of gap in an instant is really unbearable.
Ao Hai: "Okay."
After saying that, he turned around and glanced at Gu Jieshuang.
Gu Jieshuang quickly said, "Don't worry about me... I'll just practice here."
Ao Hai naturally agreed.
He stretched out his hand and pressed Yu Cang's shoulder. Then the scenery in front of Yu Cang's eyes changed rapidly, and his body quickly relaxed. By the time the scenery stabilized, he had reached the fifteenth floor.
Suddenly, air rushed into Yu Cang's shriveled lungs, and a refreshing feeling permeated every part of his body.
Yu Cang took a deep breath.
Only after you lose air do you realize how important it is.
At this time, Ao Hai said: "Yu Cang, if you go up further, the scenery will be no different. It's all smoke and clouds. There's nothing to see."
"Ha, ha..." Yu Cang gradually calmed his breathing, "I understand... Brother Ao, those places on the upper floors... are they really the same space as here?"
Ao Hai nodded. "Of course. Logically speaking, with such a large difference in spatial density, the lower levels will eventually be assimilated by the higher levels. However, the 'stone doors' of the Heavenly Gate effectively prevent this. They block off the spaces layer by layer, preventing the higher levels from affecting the lower ones."
"That's it." Yu Cang nodded.
This layered design is indeed ingenious.
"Brother Ao." Yu Cang paused before saying, "The Heavenly Gate has thirty-three floors, right?"
"That's right."
"What's on the 33rd floor? Will it be nothingness?"
The space on the seventeenth floor is already so thin, and it is only half of the number of floors of Tianmen. How exaggerated would the thirty-third floor be?
The higher the level of Tianmen, the thinner the space becomes, but there is a limit to thinness. According to this rule, the space density will probably reach zero before reaching the 33rd level.
Hearing this question, Ao Hai was silent for a moment.
Then, he said:
"These thirty-third floors... I don't know either."
"Eh?" Yu Cang was stunned. "Hasn't Brother Ao ever been up there before?"
Ao Hai shook his head. "No—I've only been to the 28th floor. Shou Zu lives on and after the 25th floor all year round. He's been to a higher floor than me, but only to the 30th. As for Di Chang'an... he's a bit higher than any of us, but he definitely hasn't reached the 33rd floor."
Yu Cang: "...Is it impossible for even myths to reach the thirty-third floor?"
"Hmm... As the levels get higher, those inside face more than just thin air; there are also additional dangers. I don't know where those dangers come from, but it seems like they're similar to the nothingness left behind by Feng's slash that day..."
Hearing this, Yu Cang narrowed his eyes slightly.
That is the danger that comes from chaos.
What else could come from chaos?
"Could it be that there is... a chaotic cloud among the higher-ups of Tianmen?"
"What is Chaos Cloud?"
"It is the mist in my 'Land of Descent'."
"...I don't know." Ao Hai shook his head. "That kind of mist is indeed magical and can change in a thousand ways. But before you, I have never seen it before."
"So what dangers do you mean?"
"This... I'm not sure how to describe it." Ao Hai's expression was a little strange. "The higher-ups... there are many things that are hard to describe... You'll understand when you see them in the future."
Can’t describe it?
This aroused Yu Cang's curiosity.
"Brother Ao, how about you go up and take a picture for me?"
"Um... your human personal terminals are indeed useful, but taking photos at high altitudes can cause a lot of glitches... The photos you take are blurry and unclear."
"...Okay then." Yu Cang could only give up.
Make it so mysterious.
After a brief chat, Ao Hai left.
On the deserted sea of clouds, Yu Cang fell into deep thought.
When it comes to chaos, he can only think of chaotic clouds... It can't be a soul, right? If it is a soul, then Di Changan would not keep it to himself.
What is that... Could it be solidified chaotic mist?
Yes, the chaotic clouds cannot enter the world. If they can enter, they must have been solidified. In that case, they would look strange and it is normal that they cannot be recognized.
But, I'm still curious.
Moreover, no one can enter the 33rd floor, not even Di Changan.
…still have to go and see it.
Yu Cang made up his mind.
Although he couldn't even reach the 18th floor, let alone the 33rd floor, but... if he couldn't get up from the inside, he could go from the outside!
Chaos is vast, but Feng has already found his position in the chaos. So if he directly uses his obsession to enter the chaos, won’t he be able to see the scene on the thirty-third floor?
Do it when you think of it.
After some operations, Yu Cang summoned Feng Qianban Zizai Xin.
"Feng, do me a favor."
…
chaos
The clouds and mist were pushed aside by an invisible force, and Yu Cang and Feng appeared here.
"Summoner." Feng said, "This... is the chaos near Tianmen."
"Really?" Yu Cang looked around, "But...why can't I see anything?"
The scene here is not much different from other places in the chaos, it is all covered with clouds and fog.
“…Chaos is like this.”
There is no clear boundary between chaos and the astral realm, but rather an "overlapping" relationship.
Otherwise, how could the Blue Star, deep inside the starry sky and surrounded by the starry sky, open a door to chaos?
Therefore, it is so difficult to find a place in the present world in the chaos.
Chaos and the real world are two dimensions. One must have the ability to perceive beyond space to accurately know one's position in chaos.
If Yu Cang looked directly at it, he would definitely not see anything.
I scratched my head with obsession.
It’s not that simple after all… I guess that’s within expectations.
"Then Feng, take me to the thirty-third floor."
The thirty-third floor is infinitely close to chaos, and it is definitely different from here.
"Okay." Feng nodded.
He couldn't understand what the summoner was going to do, but no matter what it was, he would support it.
Feng waved his hand lightly, and a flat road was immediately opened out of the chaotic clouds. Feng slowly floated over it, and Yu Cang followed behind him.
Feng's speed was very fast, but in the chaos, there was no reference and no wind, so the perception was not very obvious.
In short, after a short time, Feng stopped.
"Here it is."
Yu Cang blinked.
The scenery before my eyes has not changed at all.
It's still foggy.
Well... now he finally understood how difficult it was for Feng to find this place in the chaos relying only on his relationship with Yu Cang.
It's the same everywhere.
However, there are still some differences.
Yu Cang glanced over.
There is no such thing as "light" in Chaos... Of course, you can transform the Chaos mist into light, but that would be meaningless because souls have no vision either.
But, I, who am obsessed, have vision.
So, here... he saw the light!
Yu Cang looked at Feng: "Can you sense the light here?"
Feng shook his head: "No, there shouldn't be light in chaos."
"Even you can't sense it?"
"...The summoner saw the light?"
"Yeah, a little bit."
Yu Cang turned his head and looked forward.
There was still a surging chaotic cloud, but the difference was... a faint golden light existed in the depths of the cloud!
Light!
But this little light was too little, just a tiny dot. When the thin light penetrated the clouds and mist and shone close to Yu Cang, it was so weak that it was imperceptible. If Yu Cang had not observed carefully, and if the light was not very conspicuous in the lightless chaos, he would not have been able to detect it at all.
But, that's not right.
Logically speaking... something as ordinary as light should not escape Feng's perception.
It is true that Feng has no vision in the chaos, but souls have their own way of perception. How could he not notice this abnormality?
Therefore, there is a high probability... this light is not ordinary light.
What does it mean for a ray of light to shine into chaos?
Yu Cang took a step and approached the light, focusing his attention on the area covered by the light. Suddenly, he saw something and his eyes suddenly narrowed.
That is...
He clearly saw that the chaotic clouds illuminated by the faint light were slowly and slowly solidifying, and finally... gradually disappeared into the chaos!
"Feng, did you see that?"
"Um."
"Is this normal?"
"The chaotic mist will occasionally solidify on its own. The will of the soul can accelerate this process. Powerful souls can command the mist and create things out of thin air. This is nothing."
"Really..." Yu Cang frowned.
No, it's not that simple.
Those chaotic clouds went somewhere else...to Tianmen!
Thinking of this, Yu Cang stretched out his hand, followed the light, and explored the depths of the clouds.
"Here... here we can..."
Yu Cang's hand seemed to have touched something in the void, and the vague resistance penetrated my obsessive self like water. This was something that should not have been perceived in the chaos!
"You can...enter!"
Buzz!
The resistance condensed into substance at a certain moment. Suddenly, the light in front of Yu Cang's eyes suddenly expanded, became stronger and brighter, and even the light had substance. In the process of spreading, it frantically squeezed away all the chaotic clouds. Suddenly, a "world" unfolded before Yu Cang's eyes!
He... returned to Tianmen - the 33rd floor!
Yu Cang opened his eyes wide, but the light in front of him refused to fade away. He raised his head with difficulty and saw an extremely shocking scene.
There is the source of all "light".
A...name.
Xili!
…
Somewhere in Tianmen
Guixiang and Di Chang'an suddenly stood up, looked up at the sky, and a deep and lingering shock flashed in their eyes.
“That’s…?”
"The thirty-third floor." Guixiang frowned, "How could Yu Cang's presence appear there?"
"...Yu Cang's aura from the fifteenth level has not yet disappeared. There are two auras."
"You go to the fifteenth floor, I'll go up and take a look."
Di Chang'an nodded without saying anything. The next second, he and Guixiang's figures disappeared from the spot.
Thirty-second floor
The exaggerated light spread everywhere, but it still couldn't dispel the layers of shadows in the clouds.
A hollow, vast, rich humming sound permeated the space, as if an incredibly large being was making an incomprehensible noise with every cell in its body.
In the shadows, a stone door stood tall, and no shadows could get within a hundred meters of the door.
Suddenly, a figure emerged from it, it was Guixiang.
He raised his head, his expression serious to the extreme.
In the highest levels of Tianmen, there is a terrifying existence that cannot be understood by humans.
Starting from the twenty-eighth and twenty-ninth floors, his body is everywhere. If you want to go up from here, it is equivalent to passing through his body.
No one knows how this outrageous existence came into being, or how it should be defined...
No one even knows whether he is alive.
Di Changan tried to communicate with him countless times, but never succeeded. This guy seemed to have no consciousness. He only made meaningless noises every day. Apart from that, he would do nothing and would not respond to you.
He would only fight back when Di Chang'an "hurt" him.
This guy is also one of the main factors preventing Di Changan from entering the 33rd floor.
At present, it seems that this guy has no hostility as long as he is not provoked, so Di Changan has no intention of forcibly entering the 33rd floor and angering him, but now... he must go up and take a look.
Yu Cang is too important and cannot be lost. If this guy just now used unknown means to plunder a part of Yu Cang, then it would be a big problem.
Thinking of this, Guixiang looked serious and was about to take a step forward.
He knew that on the 32nd floor, as long as he took a step out of the stone door, he would be attacked.
But, it doesn’t matter.
This step was extremely resolute, however, just before stepping out of the door, the returning figure suddenly stopped.
Above his head...Yu Cang's breath has disappeared.
Colleague, Di Changan's voice came from my heart.
Yu Cang on the fifteenth floor woke up and was explaining what he had just done.
"...This kid is really good at causing scary things."
…
Fifteenth floor
Yu Cang took a deep breath.
He had been wondering before... There was no sun in Tianmen, so where did the light come from?
It turns out that it’s not that there is no sun, but that the sun is on the top floor, and... it’s just a name, nothing more.
His name is Xili.
