Chapter 1485: A Strange Place
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
The Sky God’s Avatar looked down at the small world under the magma. His body shifting slightly, he pointed out with his right forefinger and shot out a beam of white light. The light pierced through the underground small world and his body vanished, entering the small world.
Watching the Sky God’s Avatar enter the underground small world, the throng of Eastern and Western self-cultivators gathered around, trying to follow them in. They found, however, that they were unable to even create an entrance at their power level.
For a brief moment, two groups formed, standing on either side of the underground small world. To the East were the Eastern self-cultivators; to the West were the Western self-cultivators.
The two groups of self-cultivators stared across at one another, murderous intent in their eyes. But neither side moved. They were all waiting for their leaders.
The strongest among the Eastern self-cultivators were Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, Linger Yao, Qixuan Zhenren, the Fate Elder and White-Crane Fairy. They all stood with grave expressions on their faces.
They knew that, as the Chief of the World of Eastern Self-Cultivators, Qingfeng Li represented the greatest power that the Eastern World of Self-Cultivators had. He was their linchpin.
If Qingfeng Li was killed by the Sky God’s Avatar, the entire Eastern World of Self-Cultivators would collapse.
Their fates were closely linked to that of Qingfeng Li; so long as Qingfeng Li lived, they could hold on to hope.
Linger Yao turned her head, there was a hint of worry on her exquisite face.
“Puppy,” she said. “Let’s enter the underground small world.”
Black Puppy shook its head.
“Linger Yao,” it said, “I’ve already sensed that the defensive energy veil over the underground small world is extremely strong. There is no way we can break through with our power alone. Besides, we can’t go in anyway.”
Linger Yao blinked, perplexed. Her eyelashes fluttered as she asked. “Why?”
“If all of our strongest people left to go into the small world, these Western self-cultivators would slaughter the rest of our Eastern self-cultivators,” Black Puppy explained. “If that happens, the people behind us would no doubt be killed. Besides, entering the small world is extremely difficult. At most, we would be able to send in one person.”
Linger Yao, Magma Snake Empress, White-Crane Fairy, and Qixuan Zhenren all implored for the opportunity to enter the small world. They were all indebted to Qingfeng Li and they wanted to save him.
Black Puppy paused in thought. “Only one person can enter,” it said. “We could combine our powers in order to send them in. Let Linger Yao go.”
Black Puppy chose Linger Yao. He knew that Linger Yao and Qingfeng Li were extremely close. She would definitely save Qingfeng Li, even at the cost of her own life. The same couldn’t necessarily be said for the others.
Linger Yao’s pretty face lit up as she threw a grateful glance at Black Puppy. She knew that Black Puppy was helping her. If it didn’t want her to go, she would have virtually no chance to do so.
At that, Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, Magma Snake Empress, White-Crane Fairy, Fate Elder, and Qixuan Zhenren all channeled their vital essences. Together, they struck out toward the energy veil protecting the underground small world, creating an opening and allowing Linger Yao to enter.
Immediately after Linger Yao’s body entered the small world, the opening closed.
The Western self-cultivators’ expressions changed. They wanted to break through the energy veil and enter the underground small world themselves.

However, they found that they were completely unable to do so. Dejected, they were forced to give up, but their expressions as they stared at the people of the Eastern World of Self-Cultivators grew cautious. They were afraid that they would be attacked.
Of course, Black Puppy and company had no interest in attacking the Western self-cultivators at the moment. Their greatest wish was to see Qingfeng Li leave the small world alive.
To them, Qingfeng Li’s safety was the highest priority, everything else was secondary. As to whether or not those Western self-cultivators lived, it was none of their concern.
If Qingfeng Li could come back alive, he could slaughter all the tens of thousands of Western self-cultivators by himself.
At the same time, Qingfeng Li had entered the underground world. This was a whole new world; a whole new dimension.
Qingfeng Li looked up at the sky. It was made up of five colors: red, blue, purple, green, and yellow.
The five colors filled the entire sky. It was like the tail-feathers of a peacock, glistening with multicolored light, lighting up the entire world beautifully.
In the sky, there was a sphere. It looked like it might be a sun or a moon, slipping across the sky. This sphere was, of course, also five-colored.
This was a self-contained world, different from the one outside but also strangely similar.
The difference lies in the different coloration; the similarities lay in the things it contained: sky, earth, rivers, plants, flowers, mountains, stones, and demonic beasts.
Qingfeng Li released his spirit energy, carefully scouting ahead of him. He found that this underground small world was extremely vast.
He probed the space around him thoroughly. The underground small world spanned a full ten thousand square kilometers. It was about the size of a metropolis.
Qingfeng Li walked forward. Just a few steps later, he encountered a demonic beast.
This was a five-colored centipede. It was massive, radiating a sharp aura from all over its body.
However, the expression in its eyes was an oddly-endearing look of puzzlement. The five-colored centipede had lived here in this Five Colored Small World for a long time and rarely saw outsiders. So when it saw Qingfeng Li for the first time, it was rather perplexed.
“Who are you?” The five-colored centipede asked. “Why are you here?”
Hearing the five-colored centipede speak, Qingfeng was caught in surprise. His eyebrows furrowed. He hadn’t expected the five-colored centipede to be able to speak, and in the Human Tongue at that.
Qingfeng Li knew that the demonic beasts within this Five Colored Small World were probably all sapient. Only creatures that had been enlightened could speak in the Human Tongue, like this five-colored centipede.
Smiling, Qingfeng Li spoke. “I have a question. Do you know where the Peacock Demon Empress is?”
Hearing the name, Peacock Demon Empress, a look of shocked terror overshadowed the five-colored centipede’s eyes. It was apparent that the creature was terrified of the name. Without another word, it turned tail and ran.
Just as Qingfeng Li was about to give chase, the five-colored centipede dove into the ground. Using the Burrowing Technique, it dove straight down and disappeared. Even with his speed, Qingfeng Li couldn’t catch up.
Qingfeng Li rolled his eyes, left speechless, and continued to walk forward.
He spread out his Spirit energy, sensing the area around him, but was unable to find any trace of the Sky God’s Avatar.
Despite having also entered the Five Colored Small World, the Sky God’s Avatar was transported to a different location. They had yet to cross paths. This gave Qingfeng Li a chance to flee, along with the hope of surviving the situation.
