Beiming Sea in the Real World

Virtual Universe, Battle Space.

Across the endless blue-green sea, two dazzling figures flashed back and forth.

The Light and Dark Domain clashed. The two figures collided hundreds of times each second, their identical golden curved blades sweeping up and down.

"Bang!"

Yu Duan crashed into the sea, kicking up a towering wave dozens of meters high. A huge gash had been torn across his chest, and the fully simulated pain struck his consciousness.

"Yes, that's it! That's how you apply force. This is the third level of Morning Dawn Nine Blades!"

Yu Duan looked slightly excited as the wound on his chest healed.

The next moment, a new battle began.

This time, the fight was no longer one-sided. Though his opponent had far more combat experience than Yu Duan, he was still able to hold his own.

The battle only ended when Yu Duan's Origin Energy and stamina ran out first.

"Even though we're both using the third level of Morning Dawn Nine Blades, and our Force Amplitude is both 18 times, I'm still far behind in how I use my strength and in actual combat experience!"

Yu Duan's figure reappeared above the sea as he considered what he had gained and lost in the battle.

With their force multipliers matched, the sparring partner simulated by the Battle Space used far less stamina and Origin Energy than Yu Duan.

It wasn't a difference in level. It came down purely to technique and experience.

"Master, Lord Palentine has sent you a message. We'll arrive at Beiming Sacred Land in three hours!"

Tianran, his intelligent assistant, suddenly appeared in front of Yu Duan.

"Hm? We're almost there already? Time really does fly."

Yu Duan paused, then realized what was happening.

He had spent this whole time training in the Killing Field day and night, only sleeping once he was utterly exhausted. He'd completely lost track of time.

Of course, the hard work had paid off.

"In just over half a year, my force multiplier has gone from 7 to 18. That's definitely not slow."

Yu Duan was quite pleased with his talent.

At least when it came to honing his physical techniques, that was already a very fast rate of progress.

"Whoosh!"

The cultivation room's sensor door slid open, and Yu Duan emerged bare-chested.

He had spent a full three months eating, drinking, and sleeping in the cultivation room. At last, he could relax a little.

"Your Highness has finally come out..."

Palentine watched Yu Duan emerge from the cultivation room and sighed with emotion.

He had always considered himself diligent when he was young, but compared with this exceptionally gifted prince, he paled in comparison.

The conditions in the Mimicry Cultivation Room were hardly comfortable. It was like an ordinary person spending a long time in temperatures of several dozen degrees.

Even a Planetary Level expert wouldn't suffer physical problems like heatstroke, but the strain on the mind and will was still immense.

"Sorry for the trouble, Mr. Palentine. I'll go wash up first."

"Of course, Your Highness. I'll let you know before we enter the Sacred Land."

Three hours later, a blue-black shuttle descended slowly onto a life-bearing planet in a starfield directly under the Beiming Universe Kingdom.

"Whoosh!"

As the hatch opened, Yu Duan and Palentine flew out and stowed the ship behind them.

The next instant, a brilliant flash of lightning appeared before them. In the blink of an eye, a towering figure about ten meters tall stood in their path.

A brilliant silver lightning mark glimmered between the figure's brows. He was a powerful World Master recognized by the laws.

The moment the World Master appeared, Yu Duan felt the hairs on his body stand on end. Static crackled all around him.

"Don't resist. I'll take you into my Internal World, then bring you into the Sacred Land!"

The Thunder Light World Lord spoke impassively. Without pausing after he finished, he swept out a massive hand. A mysterious World Force spread out, enveloping Yu Duan and Palentine.

The next instant, the stars shifted.

The spaceship port vanished, replaced by a vast, endless black continent. Lightning flickered faintly in the sky, providing a dim glow to this world.

"What incredible gravity..."

The moment Yu Duan appeared, a powerful force of gravity dragged him downward. Fortunately, he adapted in an instant and floated back into the air.

"Come to think of it, this is my first time inside a World Master's Internal World."

The vertical eye between Yu Duan's brows opened fully. The World Lord World, dim and dark to his normal vision, suddenly seemed much brighter.

The Third Pupil could sense radiation beyond the visible spectrum, imperceptible to normal eyes, and had exceptionally sensitive four-primary-color vision.

The continent that had appeared black was actually made of dark blue soil, composed of countless tiny dark blue crystals.

"Your Highness, it's best not to look around too much. World Masters' Internal Worlds all have secrets, to one degree or another."

Palentine offered a friendly warning.

At his words, Yu Duan promptly closed the Third Pupil between his brows and stood obediently beside Palentine.

About ten minutes later, that mysterious World Force appeared again, ejecting Yu Duan and Palentine from the Internal World.

Whoosh!

Yu Duan felt the scene before his eyes shift in an instant. He had appeared on a floating island.

From the island, he looked out over a vast, icy blue sea stretching into the distance.

This was Beiming Sea in the real world, a vast ocean more than thirty billion kilometers in diameter.

"All right. You've arrived at the Sacred Land, so my task is complete."

The Thunder World Lord's cold voice rang out once more. The next instant, he turned into a streak of light and disappeared.

Yu Duan felt the Cosmic Force here, several times denser than before. Every cell in his body seemed more active.

Scattered across Beiming Sea were islands of all sizes.

The most eye-catching was the Ice and Snow Sacred Mountain at the center. A Silver Temple stood atop it, the residence of the great Lord of the Kingdom.

Unlike in the Virtual Universe, there were no temples for the many Immortals in the real-world Beiming Sacred Land.

The twenty thousand Immortals under the Beiming Universe Kingdom each had their own duties or territories. It was impossible for them to gather together every day.

Of course, that wasn't to say there were none at all.

At the foot of the sacred mountain stood twenty-four magnificent palaces. They were the residences of the twenty-four Immortal God teachers of Beiming Sacred Land.

Palentine bowed slightly to Yu Duan. "Your Highness, you're now an official member of Beiming Sacred Land. I'll take you to your residence."

"We've already prepared a Bloodline Evolution Agent and a Nutrient Evolution Pod for you there."

Yu Duan hurriedly thanked him. "Sorry for the trouble, Mr. Palentine."

About half an hour later, Yu Duan had finally settled into Beiming Sacred Land.

On an isolated island stood a manor covering more than a hundred square kilometers, staffed by over a thousand attendants. This was Yu Duan's residence in Beiming Sacred Land.

In an underground chamber deep within the manor sat a nutrient pod, its entire surface the color of stone-gray rock. Inside was enough Nutrient Solution to bring Yu Duan to Planetary Level Peak without any side effects.

Beside the nutrient pod was a silver combination lockbox. Inside was the S-Type Bloodline Evolution Agent prepared for Yu Duan.
