Chapter 524: Chapter 203: High-dimensional World? (Part 2)

Is this the difference between a divine-level genius and a genius?

It’s too vast!

Suddenly, the joy of everyone’s cultivation breakthroughs instantly dissipated, and they slowly left to continue cultivating.

Although the five elders of the Celestial Summit Pavilion were surprised by the improvement of the [Miracle] team, they no longer found such occurrences unusual.

What they were most concerned about now was the information Xu Ran brought back from the Secret Realm.

That was information that could turn the tide of battle.

”Xu Ran, did you discover any important information in the Secret Realm?” the [Banker] asked.

Xu Ran nodded, then proceeded to tell everyone about the high-dimensional world.

”Now, the materials to enter the high-dimensional world are basically gathered. All that’s left is the critical treasure deep in the Planet of Resentful Beasts.”

The [Banker] nodded, ”If that’s the case, let’s not waste time. Let’s set off now.”

Everyone knew time was urgent. Ten years was too brief for them; every second saved counted as a second gained.

Xu Ran nodded and led Tiger Girl and the others into the depths of the Planet of Resentful Beasts.

At this moment, the Planet of Resentful Beasts was dilapidated. Everywhere, broken monster limbs floated in the air, and thick black liquid gathered on the ground forming a river, emitting a foul stench.

Materialized pollution formed patches of black clouds, hanging not high above everyone’s heads, only about a hundred meters up. Looking up, it was a murky gray, with waves of oppression hitting them.

The entire land of the Planet of Resentful Beasts seemed sunken, only one path remained passable.

Besides this walkable path, there was also a foul-smelling river.

Strangely, the land sank a hundred meters deep, as if something below was holding it up, and gazing around, it was the same everywhere.

Xu Ran handed over the special edition [Purification Talisman] to the five people, and sticking it onto themselves, the oppression from the pollution slightly diminished.

Tiger Girl pinched her nose in distaste, ”Even after swallowing all the exotic monsters on the Planet of Resentful Beasts, how can they still be so disgusting!”

Xu Ran pondered for a moment and explained, ”Resentful Beasts are just somewhat intelligent animals, and their living habits are bound to be like that. We can’t expect them to have resentful beasts specializing in cleaning the environment!”

”Moreover, all the Resentful Beasts are dead, their bodies fermenting in such a foul environment, it would be weird if it were clean!”

Tiger Girl seemed to understand and nodded, but the expression of disgust on her face did not fade.

Xu Ran and his group followed the only road, wherever they walked, there was no sign of life, like a painting after the apocalypse, with the air filled with the scent of decay and dust.

On the ground, skeletons lay scattered as though casually discarded, with no one caring.

They walked for three hours, and Tiger Girl’s feet were numb, but there was nothing she could do.

In the sky, the almost materialized pollution hovered a hundred meters above them. If they attempted to fly through the air, one wrong move and they would touch that nauseating pollution.

Even though they were powerful, they needed to stay vigilant with unknown matters, as who knew what would happen if they touched the pollution materialized and hovering above.

At this moment, their goal was to find the treasure. Time was pressing, and Xu Ran did not have time to draw the Great Compassion Array for purification on this site, so they could only walk on.

After another hour of walking, Tiger Girl and the others could not hold on and stopped to ask, ”Brother, this Planet of Resentful Beasts is too large, how long will it take to reach the depths?”

”Yes, Xiao Ran, our speed isn’t slow, is it impossible we haven’t reached it yet?” Zhu Yuheng was also very puzzled.

”Captain, is there something wrong with this Planet of Resentful Beasts?”

”I feel it’s not that simple.”

”There must be something we haven’t discovered, otherwise it doesn’t make sense.”

Guan Xin, Ningshuang, and Tang Chichi were similarly perplexed, unable to understand why they hadn’t arrived yet.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ran also stopped to think for a moment.

Indeed, something seemed off.

Given his current divine-level cultivation, his divine sense could cover the entire Planet of Resentful Beasts, yet he still couldn’t find where the depths mentioned by Da Yu were.

”Could our direction be wrong?” Xu Ran murmured.

After looking around, Tiger Girl shook her head, ”Can’t be, there was only this one path when we entered the Planet of Resentful Beasts, everywhere else has collapsed. Is there another way besides moving forward?”

The others agreed with Tiger Girl, exclaiming in unison, ”Yes! Maybe we’re almost there if we keep going!”

Xu Ran shook his head, closed his eyes, and carefully recalled everything since stepping onto the Planet of Resentful Beasts, recalling every little detail in his mind again and again.

Finally, he discovered something wrong and immediately opened his eyes.

”Tiger Girl, strike with all your might at the depression below.” Xu Ran’s eyes shone with clarity and confidence of having seen through everything.

”Okay!” Although Tiger Girl didn’t like thinking much, she had Xu Ran. Whatever Xu Ran said, she would act on it.

Tiger Girl held her breath, tensing her right fist which glowed with golden light, and with a shout, struck with all her might onto the sunken ground on either side.

”Hmm?”

Upon returning to Xu Ran’s side, Tiger Girl instantly felt something was amiss.

”What’s wrong?” Seeing Tiger Girl’s expression, Zhu Yuheng curiously asked.

”There seems to be something underground. I struck with all my strength, yet it did not budge an inch.”

Tiger Girl’s words essentially confirmed Xu Ran’s thoughts.

The depths of the Planet of Resentful Beasts weren’t on the surface, but underground.

To know that a full-force punch from Tiger Girl could instantly annihilate divine-level monsters with such power, it’s unreasonable that nothing even stirred on the ground, not even a speck of dust.

”What Da Yu referred to as the depths must be underground!” Xu Ran stated.

Even though they had located the position, another problem presented itself.

If even Tiger Girl could not shake the land of the Planet of Resentful Beasts, how could they descend underground and continue moving deeper?

Sure enough, Zhu Yuheng voiced this question.

Everyone fell into thought.

Just after finally discovering where the depths of the Planet of Resentful Beasts were, they couldn’t get in; such a feeling was worse than not having found it at all.

Xu Ran scanned the surroundings again, carefully pondering where the entrance might be.

After all, every place must have a way in; they just hadn’t found it yet.

Suddenly, Xu Ran’s gaze fixed on the distant, almost stagnant river filled with odorous, sticky fluid.

”Found it!”

Xu Ran’s voice suddenly rang out.

”Where, where?” Tiger Girl looked around anxiously and asked.

Zhu Yuheng and the others followed Xu Ran’s gaze toward the not-too-distant, stench-filled, sticky river.

”Xiao Ran, are you saying... the entrance to the depths of the Planet of Resentful Beasts is at this disgusting river?” Zhu Yuheng asked with slight disdain.

”Exactly!” Xu Ran replied.

This answer made the five girls look troubled because the black and smelly river, if indeed the underground entrance, meant they had to enter this river.

It was a hard pill to swallow.

If asked where the strangest place on the Planet of Resentful Beasts was?

It wouldn’t be the materialized pollution in the sky, the uniformly sunken land, nor the incredibly hard ground, but the river brimming with sticky liquid.

Why did the land of the entire Planet of Resentful Beasts descend, while the river location remained unchanged, this alone was very unreasonable.

The river hadn’t sunk along with the ground because it certainly must have been supported by something unknown, hence not sinking.

Moreover, Xu Ran surmised the entrance to the underground depths was at the river’s end.

Due to the river’s peculiar nature, it avoided the riverbed from sinking. If the riverbed also sank, not only would the deep entrance be concealed, but the Resentful Beasts wouldn’t even know where the entrance was.

”But rest assured, the entrance isn’t beneath the sticky liquid but at the river’s end.”

Seeing their distressed expressions, Xu Ran knew they didn’t want to enter the river.

After all, when they entered the Planet of Resentful Beasts, the first thing they noticed wasn’t the harsh environment, but the foul odor.

Upon hearing Xu Ran’s words, the group felt relieved.

Tiger Girl excitedly chimed in, ”Since we found the entrance, let’s hurry up. Time is pressing!”

With that, she took the lead following along the river, urging the others whilst holding her nose.
