Supreme Swordsman of the Nine Heavens - Chapter 1127

Vast World

A-Dai grabbed a drifting rock. “Master told me these drifting rocks and buildings are the stars we see. They orbit around the sun. Caught another one!” A-Dai cautiously returned the rock to the dimension and enthused, “Be careful, Star. Don’t break, or A-Dai won’t get to meet you again.”

“Shifu told you these rocks are stars?” Mu Yu asked.

“Yeah. Shifu used to take me and Xiaoshuaishuai everywhere with him. He taught us that Third Heaven Continent is seen as a tiny star from other worlds, so stars that we see are worlds. Some worlds are really far away, while some are really close. He said Second Heaven and Third Heaven are practically in the same spot but in different dimensions. A-Dai doesn’t really understand what that means.”

“Is every star inhabited?”

“Mm… Master said only nine stars are inhabited, while other stars’ inhabitants have gone extinct. Master said A-Dai inadvertently destroyed one, so only eight stars have inhabitants now.”

“H-he’s scary,” stuttered Chu Xiachi, stunned with how much power A-Dai had.

“A-Dai isn’t scary. A-Dai is a good boy. They started it.”

“Don’t worry, A-Dai. Whoever bullies you from now, I’ll back you up,” Xiaoshuai asserted.

A-Dai nodded. “A-Dai likes Xiaoshuaishuai!”

Once they were close to Third Heaven, Xiaoshuai asked, “Second Heaven is below, isn’t it?”

Underneath Third Heaven Continent was another floating island that was connected to the top one in some parts. Most notably, Second Heaven Continent was basically Third Heaven Continent flipped around!

Needless to say, there was no concept of earth of sky inside the dimensional barrier. Saying the ocean was the ground, therefore, was not valid. In the same vein, their sense of direction was vague at best because there was no gravity.

“This world is weirder than weird,” Ximen Buxing commented.

“We can leave this discussion for after we get back to Third Heaven.”

“Shifu set this formation around the perimeter of Third Heaven Continent to prevent foreign invasions, so how do we get in?” Lie Shang questioned.

“The formation was reinforced after I activated Perfect World. We can’t,” stated Cheng Yan.

“How did Bai Jie get in, then? How did the shadow and shadowless races get in?” Lie Shang turned his attention to Xiao Ran and Yu Mo.

Xiao Ran answered, “According to our historic records, our races entered millenniums ago with the permission of Sword Shadow Dust Gale. For as long as he is present, no other foreign race will try to invade. Due to his absence, Third Heaven Continent is as good as defenceless. In regards to Bai Jie, I believe Divine Executioner utilised something similar to Ultimate Immortals Monument to sneak his minions in.”

“That means we’re stuck here now?” Gu Yitian asked.

“A-Dai gave Reflection Compass to A-Mumu already. It can show A-Mumu the way in,” A-Dai pointed out.

Mu Yu stopped his search and whipped out the golden compass. The golden compass escaped his grasp, plastering itself to the formation. The compass spun and spun, expanding and expanding with each rotation, sending ripples across the formation’s surface. It spun an eight trigrams diagram, text inside.

“A teleportation formation?” Mu Yu gasped.

Did Shifu know this day would come and left the compass for us? Cheng Yan speculated.

“Everyone, come here to the teleportation formation.” Standing in the centre of the formation, Mu Yu conjured a formation on his fingertip and merged it with the compass’ formation, activating the teleportation formation.

“Old White Beard sure is smart,” Xiaoshuai praised.

Mu Yu finished up the final step once everyone had arrived, teleporting them to the one place that had everyone who recognised it freeze in place – Dustfallen Precipice!

“Where are we now?” Wanwan checked out the banyan tree teeming with life.

“Home.” Cheng Yan shut his eyes and inhaled deliberately.

Times and they had changed, but the Dustfallen Sect family had a regret.

“Dustfallen Sect?” inquired Ximen Buxing.

Their surprise was justified for one would imagine Sword Shadow Dust Gale resided in some extravagant place given his status when everyone else in the cultivation world looked to flaunt their prestige in any form necessary, be it from clothing, their homes or decorations. Dustfallen Sect, on the other hand, was impoverished as impoverished got. Moreover, it was now filthy with cobwebs and caked in dust.

“Find yourselves somewhere to rest.” Mu Yu sat at his room’s fence and spawned wooden desks, chairs and so forth for them.

The group let the four brothers have some time alone, while Tian Ran went to sit on the fence. Qiao Xue took a glance at Mu Yu and Tian Ran, then joined the group resting.

The four brothers leaned against their rooms’ doors in silence and engaged in eye contact at the same time.

“You three didn’t want to come home, but you’re home now.”

Mu Yu averted his gaze; finding himself was not the same as actually coming home.
