Chapter 1305 - Final Choice (1/2)

On this planet where gravity was unimaginably strong, space had been significantly compressed. A dozen meters here equaled to 100 kilometers in normal space. Adding the enormous pressure, it was impossible for the Soul Swallower to simulate Xiusi’s soul ability anymore…

Since it couldn’t simulate Xiusi’s ability and continue chasing it, it could only keep itself in the current status at best. When it ran out of soul power, it would be torn apart into shreds by the enormous gravity. No, it would be ripped apart into tiny particles, and become part of the planet…

Xiusi returned to Noscent after all the trouble. It lay on the ground like a dead bird the moment it returned.

“Sir Merlin, I’m dying, I’m dying…” Xiusi screamed miserably on the ground. Both of its wings had been fractured. Its bones were broken too. Half of its feathers had dropped. It looked like a chicken that had been processed, and was about to be made into food…

Lin Yun’s eyelids shivered. He took out a bottle of vitality potion for Xiusi, and then covered it in another bottle of vitality potion. A dozen minutes later, Xiusi finally recovered tiredly. It wasn’t easy for the body to recover. If Xiusi hadn’t been a soul entity but a normal life form, it would’ve died a long time ago…

“Xiusi, let me get another body for you—”

Before Lin Yun could finish, Xiusi’s eyes glittered, and it quickly shook its head.

“No, no, no. Sir Merlin, this body is great. I’m very satisfied with it. It can eat pastries and fly…”

Lin Yun was puzzled. He didn’t know why Xiusi tried so hard to prevent the body from being destroyed. For Xiusi, a body should be no different from a set of clothes. Changing a body wouldn’t affect this pure soul life at all…

However, since Xiusi was unwilling to accept the offer, Lin Yun took out another few bottles of potion, and helped cure the wounds.

Seeing Xiusi’s miserable look, Lin Yun knew that he could ignore the first plane he selected. Whatever almost killed Xiusi had surely been above level 49, if not in the Heaven Rank. There might be even more extraordinary lives…

The plane that he sent Xiusi to investigate was the most suitable one for the Gilded Rose at this moment. That plane had a vast continent, and was suitable for the growth of herbs and plants. Almost all sorts of herbs could be grown in this place. Unfortunately, just as expected, the plane was too dangerous. Even Xiusi, which was very good at running, was almost killed…

So, he had to try the other planes that were less satisfactory. After Xiusi was cured and given a rest and a few pieces of pastries, the silly bird immediately forgot that it almost died, and began to boast about itself.

“Sir Merlin, I was hunted by a level-48, no, a level-49 Soul Swallower just now. I appeared right next to the Soul Swallower’s mouth. How could it possibly let go of the great Xiusi? It chased me relentlessly. I didn’t have any choice except to bring it to a silver planet that had horrifying gravity.

“Haha. That idiot thought simulating my soul abilities was enough. But it was too stupid. I had a body. I am an owl with a spatial power bloodline. Eventually, it imprisoned itself with the soul ability it simulated, while I got away with my bloodline power. That dumbass must be dead now…”

Xiusi cackled, and had a few pieces of pastries that were more expensive than gold of the same weight. It then left delightedly with the second pair of coordinates that Lin Yun produced.

Five minutes later, Xiusi hopped out of the shadows of space while shrieking. Its feathers seemed to have been burnt up, and it reeked of the smell of barbecue…

“Sir Merlin, help me! I’m dying! I’m dying!”

Frowning, Lin Yun gazed at Xiusi, and turned vitality potion into a ball of water that contained Xiusi. Xiusi didn’t recover until five minutes later, but its burnt feathers didn’t have replacements. It looked like a chicken whose feathers had been plucked.

Lin Yun heaved a sigh. He could easily imagine what happened. It was impossible to go to this plane, either. Even Xiusi, which was unparalleled in terms of escaping, had lost all its feathers. If Lin Yun had been there, he probably would’ve been killed instantly…

Revisiting the spatial coordinates that he had noted down, Lin Yun abandoned most of them. The most suitable and satisfactory planes could all be given up. The coordinates all pointed to the prosperous locations in those planes that had abundant mana. Whoever controlled those planes would definitely control those places. Or maybe, those planes were highly dangerous forbidden lands that would kill any trespasser.

Abandoning the most favorable planes, Lin Yun found only three pairs of coordinates left. They were the coordinates that led to the weakest and worst known planes. But that was only if they were compared to the previous planes. They were still quite great for Lin Yun at this moment.

He sent Xiusi to investigate the planes again. The first two planes were hopeless. In one of the places marked by the coordinates, a level-48 behemoth was sleeping. The other was the nest to a horrifying group of creatures which almost destroyed Xiusi’s body.

Only the last plane remained. Lin Yun frowned in dissatisfaction. While the last plane satisfied all of the Gilded Rose’s needs, it was the worst plane among all the planes that met the Gilded Rose’s demands.

Lin Yun heaved a sigh, and sent Xiusi to investigate. In no more than 10 minutes, Xiusi returned and reported good news. There was no danger around the location of the coordinates. It was spacious and safe.

However, Lin Yun wasn’t happy at all. The last suitable plane left was a special one, whose spatial barrier was very weak compared to others. Also, the coordinates pointed to somewhere in space, so one would appear in space after opening the Planar Path, and couldn’t enter the plane without breaking the spatial barrier. Because of the plane’s uniqueness, it was impossible to establish a stable Planar Path inside the plane.

Confirming that it was safe, Lin Yun asked Xiusi to take him there. In only a few seconds, Xiusi had set the spatial wave frequency around Lin Yun exactly the same as that around itself. Then, it disappeared from Noscent along with Lin Yun.

They reappeared in the boundless space. There was nothing within a radius of a billion kilometers. Several billion kilometers away, an enormous star was burning, and constantly emitting heat.

Seeing the void in front of him, Lin Yun calculated silently for a moment, and then examined a certain direction. After a dozen minutes, he finally detected unusual waves from that direction.

The strange waves that occurred now and then were caused by the friction between the spatial barrier and this space. Such situations were very rare even tens of thousands of years later.

To find the entrance to a plane in the boundless void purely depended on luck. Only Lin Yun, who knew the exact location of the plane and the precise direction it lay in, could possibly find the point of breakthrough.
