That was what he said, but a strand of divine sense still flew from the Flame Emperor's brow, proactively transmitting Gu Yi a map of the passage from Nine Nether Eight Desolations to the Great World.
"The passage lies at the easternmost edge of this Small World. There is a Sun Fortress there, guarded by a Martial Emperor."
The Flame Emperor said, "If you wish to leave Nine Nether Eight Desolations, you must force your way past the Martial Emperor stationed there."
"However, with your current strength, enough to battle an Emperor, breaking through will not be difficult."
Gu Yi nodded slightly.
Indeed, with his current strength, even an Upper-tier Emperor could do nothing to him.
And the Martial Emperor guarding the Sun Fortress would be, at most, a Middle-tier Emperor.
If Gu Yi wanted to leave, no one could stop him.
However, Gu Yi was in no hurry to leave this world.
Within this Small World, aside from the Small Worlds of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor and Emperor Xi, as well as the Three Lives Scripture already in his possession, there were many treasured lands. For instance, the Desolate Sea in the Eight Desolations Realm and Nine Nether in the Nine Nether Realm.
Both were renowned death zones and forbidden lands within this Small World, possessing unique Laws of Heaven and Earth.
Beneath the Desolate Sea lay an ancient battlefield, where the homeland of the Demon Sealing Great Emperor—the true Snow Moon Kingdom—had been buried.
And beneath Nine Nether was sealed an independent Great World separate from the Nine Heavens Continent: the Netherworld.
Therefore, before leaving Nine Nether Eight Desolations, Gu Yi wanted to explore these two places first.
While he was at it, he would settle his grudges with the Martial Emperors and eliminate any future trouble.
