The old man was covered in dust, his face weathered, and he was very weak, on the verge of death; a gust of wind could blow him over!
He crawled out of the ground, dressed in tattered clothes, looking like a dried corpse, and lay prostrate in front of Xie Feng, barely alive!
He raised his cloudy eyes, stretched out his arms, and crawled slowly behind Xie Feng, using both hands and feet like an animal!
"New guy, get out of the way."
The old man spoke to Xie Feng in a hoarse voice, which also carried a putrid smell, making it eerily unsettling!
Xie Feng frowned slightly.
Why does this person say they are "new"?
Could he distinguish between ascended beings and native Immortal? Is it because their auras are different?
Seeing Xie Feng frown and remain motionless, the old man, lacking the strength to persist, crawled to the side. After only a few steps, he sighed heavily, panting, and said, "I can't go on! Freedom is right before my eyes, yet I cannot have it!"
He stretched out his skeletal hand towards Xie Feng, "New guy, do you have any pills? You're from the outside world, you must have some! Give me one to restore my strength!"
Xie Feng coldly replied, "Why should I give you my elixir?"
The old man stretched his hand out in mid-air, clenched it, then slowly withdrew it, scratching his scalp with his toenail fungus to hide his embarrassment.
He looked Xie Feng up and down, his dull and lifeless eyes slowly narrowing, but deep in his pupils lurked a fierce glint brought by his turbulent years!
He looked at Xie Feng, his expression slightly fluctuating.
This person...
I, an old man, cannot see through it!
It's like looking at a vast, boundless ocean!
No matter how hard you try, all you can see is a vast expanse of blue flames. Even if your eyes are sharp enough to pierce through the flames, what lies behind them is an Eternal Night, deep darkness!
The old man's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Are you a new convict?!"
Xie Feng stood with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed. "What did you say? A convict?"
"What? Aren't you one? How could an outsider trespass into this place of exile for convicts?!" the old man asked in surprise, as if it were incredibly shocking that Xie Feng wasn't a convict!
Xie Feng said, "Tell me the details of the Great Wilderness Heaven, and I will give you some pills."
"Real?"
The old man's eyes lit up, as if he had regained some vitality.
If he could really obtain the basic Healing Pill, he would have the strength to leave this region and gain freedom forever!
Xie Feng nodded slowly.
The old man took a breath to calm himself down, and then spoke, "Among the countless heavenly realms of the First Heavens, the Great Wilderness Heaven is the lowest and most notorious one!"
"Because this is the place of exile for all the celestial criminals of the First Heavens! All kinds of vicious, bloodthirsty, and insane people are imprisoned here!"
"Each celestial realm has varying strengths, and the prisoners sent in also differ in power. The further in you go, the more numerous the convicts gather, and there are many great demons within, who even devour their own kind!"
The old man's pupils twitched rapidly a few times, as if recalling his miserable past, and his face turned pale instantly!
Xie Feng digested what he said and asked thoughtfully, "In the First Heavens, there are a million Great Heavens. How are they classified into different ranks?"
"Sequence!
"Within the First Heavens, there is a clearly defined power hierarchy! It divides these heavenly realms into ten levels, or ten sequences!"
"The smaller the number, the stronger the strength. However, those like Red Dust Heaven are very special, belonging to a special sequence. Their status is unique, making it difficult to judge their strength!"
The old man's expression was serious, as if he were exaggerating. He even paused to observe Xie Feng's expression.
Xie Feng said expressionlessly, "Continue!"
This guy...
That's so damn arrogant!
A mortal ascending to immortality from the Lower Realm treats Immortal from the Upper Realm in this way!
The old man grumbled to himself, but there was nothing he could do about it; the young man was just too awesome!
I still need elixirs to save my life!
and!
He couldn't see through this guy, even though he was True Immortal!
Tolerate!
We have no choice but to endure it!
The old man continued, " The Red Dust Heaven belongs to a special sequence. In the regular sequence... oh dear, I'm lacking strength; I need some elixirs..."
He clutched his chest, panting heavily, while secretly glancing at Xie Feng and reaching out his hand knowingly.
Xie Feng: "..."
He didn't move, only stared coldly at the old man!
That look in his eyes was chilling!
The old man reluctantly reached out his hand and said, " The Great Wilderness Heaven is the Tenth Sequence, the lowest level among the First Heavens! It is also known as the ' Bitter Cold Heaven '!"
" The Spiritual Qi here is thin, and criminals gather here. It's the most chaotic and dangerous place! Any sane Immortal wouldn't deliberately come here to invite bad luck."
"The same sequence as it is the Withering Heaven, which is also a barren land. From the Tenth Sequence to the Sixth Sequence, they are all lower-level sequences, while the fifth to the first are upper-level sequences."
"In the First Heavens, there are renowned Heavens such as the Holy Demon Heaven and the Liu Li Heaven, which belong to the Second Sequence. Above them, the most powerful Heaven is the Eternal Life Heaven of the First Sequence!"
"But these things are too far removed from you; just hearing about them is enough. Haha, Immortal ascended from the Lower Realm realms, no wonder you came here. You probably got tricked by the person in charge of the Red Dust Heaven, right?"
The old man suddenly seemed to be gloating; he even laughed out loud, his expression smug and distasteful.
"The Crimson Immortal Venerable Chiyun of the Red Dust Heaven is notorious for looking down on ascended beings. He's also hypocritical, always smiling on the surface, but secretly he's the most cunning! If you run into him, you can only consider yourself unlucky."
"By the way, if you want to gain a place here, you need to go to the Wilderness City to find the Immortal Lord. The highest official of each Heavenly Domain is called the Immortal Lord. Although the Immortal Lord of the Great Wilderness Heaven may not be able to help you much, he should be able to give you a place to settle down and make a living."
" The Wilderness City is located in the center, but the further you go in, the stronger the criminals you will encounter will be. There is a terrifying guy among them who has been imprisoned for nine thousand nine hundred years for killing the Immortal Lord of two celestial realms! You'd better not provoke him!"
"Cough cough cough, all this talking has really taken a toll on my energy. Now, can you give me the pills?"
The old man stretched out his "claws" again.
Xie Feng flicked his finger, and a white pill appeared out of thin air, floating into his palm.
Life-Restoring Pill!
High-grade Celestial Item!
The old man's eyes immediately lit up.
Even in the Upper Realm, high-grade immortal pills are incredibly rare and precious, worth a fortune for low- to mid-level Immortal like them!
His face flushed with excitement, and he trembled as he clutched the pill, swallowing it in one gulp. Instantly, light shone forth, vitality radiated, and his entire body gained boundless power.
One elixir instantly transformed him from a near-death state into a vibrant and energetic one!
In the Great Wilderness Heaven resources are scarce, elixirs are extremely rare!
The old man had regained much of his strength. He let out a wild laugh, then a long sigh, and like Meiying, he charged straight toward the border of the Great Wilderness Heaven!
Imprisoned for a thousand years, you'll soon be free!
10,000 meters!
100 meters!
Ten meters!
Three meters!
