Chapter 312: The Mysterious Small Sword Fluctuates Again

The Blade Slaughter Sect Master looked at Li Yang and said, "The danger you’ll face in a controlled Sharpening Space is nothing compared to the unknown dangers of your future. If you can’t even make it through a Sharpening Space, you’re almost certain to perish later on."

The Blade Slaughter Sect Master shook his head. In his eyes, these Sharpening Spaces were truly nothing to worry about, as long as one was a little careful.

But the future held true life-or-death battles, where the slightest carelessness could lead to one’s demise.

This was especially true for geniuses like Li Yang. They would attract the attention of numerous Alien Races, who might even dispatch top-tier experts to lie in wait and launch a fatal strike at the critical moment!

The greater the genius, the greater the crises they would face in the future.

"Therefore, Li Yang, the moment you truly enter the Lingyue World, your life will essentially be hanging by a thread. If anything feels wrong, use your trump cards and flee immediately. Don’t be reluctant to use them."

The Blade Slaughter Sect Master warned gravely, "If you die, all the trump cards in the world will be useless."

Hearing the Blade Slaughter Sect Master’s extremely solemn words, Li Yang finally understood the danger of the Sharpening Spaces.

"Teacher, I will be careful," Li Yang said seriously.

He took a deep breath, steeling himself to remain sufficiently vigilant.

"Mm."

The Blade Slaughter Sect Master nodded. With a wave of his right hand, a white pearl appeared.

"Teacher, what is this?" Li Yang asked, a little confused as he looked at the white pearl.

He couldn’t recognize what kind of treasure the white pearl was.

"This white pearl is somewhat beneficial to your soul."

The Blade Slaughter Sect Master instructed, "You must carry it with you at all times."

’Beneficial to my soul?’

Li Yang nodded, accepted the white pearl, and said, "Thank you, Teacher."

"Mm, go on," the Blade Slaughter Sect Master nodded.

Watching Li Yang leave, the Blade Slaughter Sect Master thought to himself, ’With the Void Source Pearl, Li Yang can overcome even the greatest of dangers.’

He thought to himself that the white pearl obviously had other functions besides just nurturing the soul.

However, he didn’t mention this function. Often, revealing its purpose would be detrimental to the sharpening process.

It was like fighting recklessly in the Virtual World; there was no real sense of vigilance because you knew you would just be revived immediately if you died.

If Li Yang knew the true function of the Void Source Pearl, the effectiveness of his training would be much worse.

...

’The entrance to the Lingyue World is at the base of the Lianyun Mountain Range...’ Li Yang thought as he looked up information on the entrance.

However, its entrance was not in the same area where the other geniuses were located.

The Lianyun Mountain Range was vast. The area for geniuses only occupied a portion of it; the rest was filled with towering palaces.

And beneath these palaces were the various Sharpening Grounds.

Soon, Li Yang arrived at one such place.

"Li Yang."

After he arrived, a man with red hair, clad in red armor, suddenly appeared.

"Greetings, Lord Xuan Mo," Li Yang said respectfully.

The red-haired man before him was a powerful Deity who had mastered the Four-Element Laws. He also served as the guardian of the entrance to the Lingyue World. Periodically, he would enter the Lingyue World to "clean out" the Demon Race, Insect Beasts, and others inside, preventing too many powerful ones from emerging.

In reality, places like the Lingyue World were sometimes special spaces created by the Human Race, and other times they were pre-existing locations unsuitable for living. Thus, the Human Race had repurposed them into Sharpening Grounds.

Naturally, the Human Race couldn’t just allow the Demon Race and Insect Beasts within these Sharpening Grounds to develop unchecked.

Xuan Mo looked at Li Yang and asked, "You plan to enter the Lingyue World for sharpening?"

He studied Li Yang. By now, everyone knew his name. He had just surpassed Lan Yu and was hailed as the most incredible genius below the Mixed Void.

"Yes," Li Yang said.

"Mm."

Xuan Mo nodded. With a wave of his right hand, a token appeared.

"This is the token to enter the Lingyue World. There are two ways to get out. The first is to return to the entrance. The second is to hold the token while you are within a one-million-li radius of the entrance."

If the token was lost in the Lingyue World, Li Yang would have no choice but to walk all the way back to the entrance to get out.

"Also, I can sense whether you are alive or dead through this token."

If someone died during their training, they would know immediately.

Handing the token to Li Yang, Xuan Mo said, "Remember, remain vigilant at all times in the Lingyue World. If anything seems even slightly off, flee immediately."

For a peerless genius like Li Yang, he too hoped that Li Yang would grow up as quickly as possible.

"I know," Li Yang nodded.

The two of them arrived at a spot where a gray, hazy entrance floated.

’I’m going in!’

Standing before the entrance, Li Yang took a deep breath.

He gripped the token and activated it.

In an instant, his figure passed through the entrance and vanished.

Xuan Mo was left staring at the entrance. He couldn’t help but sigh in admiration, "This Li Yang is truly incredible. To think he actually surpassed Lan Yu."

Previously, he had also made a bet with someone, but he had bet on Lan Yu to win. Obviously, he lost.

With a wave of his right hand, a strange, Compass-like object appeared before Xuan Mo. On this Compass were several points of light.

’Three points of light. There are three geniuses currently training in the Lingyue World... I hope they can all grow stronger,’ Xuan Mo thought.

He could directly sense the token in Li Yang’s hand. If the token shattered, or if its owner died, the point of light on the Compass would immediately disappear.

...

’So this is the Lingyue World?’

After passing through the entrance, Li Yang’s vision blurred for a moment.

When it cleared, he found himself in a vast region.

’The entrance is nine thousand li away from me?’

Through the token, Li Yang could clearly sense the location of the entrance.

There were no Demon Beasts or Insect Beasts around. The area near the entrance was an absolutely safe zone; no Demon Beast or Insect Beast dared to linger here.

Any that dared to stay had been killed. These Demon Beasts and Insect Beasts possessed intelligence, and those that had reached the Divine Realm stayed far, far away from this place.

’Let’s go!’

With a flash, Li Yang’s figure shot off into the distance.

’I’ve gone past one million li?’

When he reached a certain point, the sensation from the token told Li Yang that he had exceeded the maximum distance and could no longer use it to return directly to the entrance.

’According to the information I have, Demon Beasts and Insect Beasts start appearing beyond the five-million-li mark.’

Li Yang took a deep breath and began to advance.

His body tensed, and his entire being was on high alert.

Right now, the way Li Yang felt was completely different from usual.

In this dangerous world filled with Demon Beasts and Insect Beasts, who knew where they might be hiding?

The slightest lapse in concentration could genuinely lead to his death!

Only now did Li Yang truly experience what it felt like to be constantly in a state of high alert.

He pressed forward, and half an hour passed quickly.

The Demon Beasts and Insect Beasts still didn’t dare approach the entrance area, so Li Yang hadn’t encountered a single one.

However, not only did he not let his guard down, but he also dared not be the least bit careless.

Because in his current location, a Demon Beast could appear at any moment and launch an attack!

Li Yang picked a direction and continued onward.

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Li Yang’s heart skipped a beat.

HUM...

At that moment, the small sword in his mind vibrated faintly.
