Open up and break into another world

“Brother Xu Ming!” Princess Youlong said with a wry smile, “To be honest, we came here originally with the intention of winning you over! But now… with your strength, Brother Xu Ming, to be honest, our temple is too small!”

Naturally, there are also levels among the experts on the Earth Ranking.

Are the statuses of the top five hundred on the Earth Ranking the same as ordinary experts on the Earth Ranking? — Of course not!

With the strength that Xu Ming has displayed, even if dozens of ordinary Earth Ranking experts came, they probably wouldn't be as good as Xu Ming alone!

“Haha!” Xu Ming couldn't help but laugh after hearing Princess Youlong's words, “It's not a matter of the size of the temple, it's that I haven't planned to join any forces yet!”

Since these people treated Xu Ming with courtesy, Xu Ming naturally wouldn't look down on them.

…

Within Silverlight City, many high-level experts from Yunhe Prefecture gathered.

The news of Xu Ming instantly killing “former Earth Ranking expert” Huangji Xie naturally quickly spread to Yunhe City.

Although the Taigu Pavilion branch had just updated the Earth Ranking, after hearing about Xu Ming's strength, they immediately re-updated the Earth Ranking: “Xu Ming, ranked three hundred and eighty-second on the Earth Ranking!”

Inside the manor.

Xu Ming met with experts from all sides of Yunhe Prefecture and chatted happily. He also gradually gained a deeper understanding of the overall situation of the First Heaven World.

Xu Ming was shocked to discover that the First Heaven World was like… a cemetery!

Yes, a cemetery!

People like Yun Tian and Lone Gunner, whose original virtual universes or chaotic eras had been destroyed, and who had not yet comprehended the “True Self Realm,” should have died in the process of destruction according to the rules of the universe! However, they were sent to the First Heaven World by the Time-Space Secret Chamber and began a new life! — The vast majority of people in the entire First Heaven World are people like Yun Tian and Lone Gunner who “should have died but didn't.”

Therefore, Xu Ming felt that the First Heaven World was like a cemetery.

And there was only one way to leave the First Heaven World, and that was — to go to the Second Heaven World!

Only in worlds above the Second Heaven could there be an exit to leave the “Nine Heavens”; only the First Heaven World had no exit to leave! And to go to the Second Heaven World, one must comprehend the “True Self Realm”!

In the First Heaven World, without comprehending the “True Self Realm,” it was impossible to improve one's cultivation to the Destruction Realm, and it was also impossible to enter the Second Heaven World!

Because of this, the Divine Phoenix Chaos Realm and the Qinglei Realm had once sent some Myriad Things Realm geniuses into the First Heaven World, but none of them were able to return — after all, with the Myriad Things Realm geniuses that had appeared in the history of the Divine Phoenix Chaos Realm and the Qinglei Realm, it was almost impossible to comprehend the “True Self Realm” at the Myriad Things Realm level!

Since no Myriad Things Realm existence had ever been able to return to the Divine Phoenix Chaos Realm or the Qinglei Realm, naturally, they didn't know any information about the First Heaven World.

“For me, going to the Second Heaven World shouldn't be difficult!” Although Xu Ming hadn't yet comprehended the “True Self Realm,” he should be close, “However… before going to the Second Heaven World, I must first obtain the opportunities in the First Heaven World!”

Xu Ming hadn't obtained any opportunities yet!

“The biggest opportunity in the First Heaven World should be the 'First Heaven Genius Battle,' right?” Xu Ming thought to himself, “However… the First Heaven Genius Battle represents the competition between the most top-notch Myriad Things Realm existences in the entire 'Second Quadrant of the Universe,' and not everyone is qualified to participate! Even the experts on the Heaven Ranking may not be able to obtain an invitation!”

Of course, in Xu Ming's view, with his strength, he would definitely be able to obtain an invitation.

…

Inside the Wu Family Manor.

More and more experts came to visit Xu Ming.

After all, Xu Ming was an expert in the top four hundred of the Earth Ranking in Yunhe Prefecture! Even if they couldn't win Xu Ming over, it would definitely be right to befriend him first.

Xu Ming simply held a grand banquet for all parties in the Wu Family Manor, taking the opportunity to learn more about the First Heaven World.

However…

Suddenly one day, all the experts who came to visit Xu Ming suddenly changed their expressions, as if they had received some shocking news.

“Brother You Yao?” Xu Ming was discussing some stories about the First Heaven Genius Battle with an Earth Ranking expert named “You Yao”; suddenly, Xu Ming discovered that You Yao's expression had become very strange, and the way he looked at him had also become a little strange — as if he was afraid of getting close to him.

“What's wrong?” Xu Ming naturally didn't know what was going on and couldn't help but ask.

“No… nothing!” You Yao said repeatedly, “Cough cough! Brother Xu Ming, I suddenly remembered that I still have some things to rush to deal with in Qiyang County! I won't stay here any longer, I'll take my leave first!”

Saying that, You Yao directly drank the wine in his cup to show his apology; and then, he left the Wu Family Manor as if he were escaping for his life.

“Strange?” Xu Ming's face was full of doubts.

Immediately afterward, many experts came to bid farewell to Xu Ming one after another. The reasons for saying goodbye were also uniformly “encountering urgent matters.”

“So many experts encountered urgent matters together?” Xu Ming naturally smelled an unusual scent.

However, these experts who came to visit were originally extremely enthusiastic, but now they suddenly became like avoiding the plague, avoiding Xu Ming; even if Xu Ming opened his mouth to inquire, no one was willing to tell him what was going on.

Unknowingly, all the experts who came to visit had actually left! The Wu Family Manor, which was once bustling with activity, suddenly became deserted.

“What exactly is going on?” Xu Ming looked strange.

Only Princess Youlong secretly reminded Xu Ming with a voice transmission when she was about to leave: “Brother Xu Ming, for the sake of our acquaintance, I'll remind you: lower your head when you should!”

After saying that, Princess Youlong didn't dare to say half a word more and left this place of right and wrong directly.

“Lower your head when you should?” Xu Ming became even more puzzled and couldn't understand what Princess Youlong's words meant.

However, Princess Youlong didn't dare to say too much and left this place of right and wrong directly.

“What's going on? It seems that I'm about to face a great disaster?” Xu Ming really couldn't understand — what kind of power made these experts, who were originally chatting happily with him, suddenly so frightened that they didn't dare to say a word?
