Chapter 885 Leaving The Realm
In all his years of experience, the Grand Abbot had never heard of such a thing happening. A World Dimension Seeds pride was nearly unparalleled, and it was always a massive undertaking to prove one\'s worth.
And yet none of that had happened. The Worle Dimension Seed welcomed John without any hostility at all, as if it\'s choice had already been made long ago.
The thought shook the Grand Abbot once more.
"That...is that even possible?" He wondered.
The World Dimension Seed was the very core of a world, and thus it knew everything that was happening on its world at all times. However, for it to take notice of a singular youth, and choose it before the youth had even proven himself worthy, then what exactly had John done to receive such a treatment.
After a moment of thought, the Grand Abbot shook his head and recovered his wits and emotions. Thinking about such things no longer mattered. What mattered was that his mission had finally been achieved.
After obtaining the World Dimension Seed, John quickly inspected his body, trying to find it. He had been able to tell that the Seed had chosen him, and so he willingly allowed it to enter his body freely, as he knew it would do him no harm.
But now that he had obtained it, he could no longer find it. John\'s divine sense washed over his body, trying to locate the seed. After finding nothing, his divine sense entered his newly formed essence dantian spatial realm.
"Still nothing," he muttered softly, not detecting it.
He withdrew his divine sense, and then stopped at the last moment. He could feel it. The feeling was incredibly faint, but he could detect the world seed in his dantian spatial realm. Still, he couldn\'t see it anywhere.
"Trying to find the world seed?" The Grand Abbots voice sounded out behind John, his question as if he could read Johns thoughts.
John turned around and inspected the old man for a moment. There was no hostility, no envy, coming from the man. Instead, he seemed to be in a very good mood, which confused John slightly.
\'Why is he so happy that a stranger obtained the world seed?\' John thought, but didn\'t ask the question. He instead nodded his head in confirmation the the Grand Abbots question.
The Grand Abbot smiled lightly, and then pointed towards John\'s stomach, where the spatial cocoon holding his essence dantian existed.
"It has burrowed into your dantian, and has gone into a deep slumber," the Grand Abbot said.
"It can do that?" John asked, slightly surprised.
"Yes," the Grand Abbot nodded. "And there it will remain, dormant, maintaining its power, until the time to blossom has arrived."
"Time to blossom? You mean when I break into the World Expansion Realm?" John asked.
The Grand Abbot nodded his head.
"At that time, the seed will awaken, and you will discover the true purpose of the seed, and why it is considered a treasure of the heavens," the Grand Abbot replied.
John fell silent. He had so many questions, and wanted answers. But if he asked questions, would the Grand Abbot even bother replying? Most of the powerful cultivators he dealt with were always vague in their answers, hardly answering his questions at all.
"I take it you have many questions you wish to ask of me?" The Grand Abbot said smiling, once again reading Johns thoughts with ease.
John nodded his head, to which the Grand Abbot did the same.
"Very well," he said. "Now that the world seed has been obtained, the time to close the realm has come. Let us depart."
The Grand Abbot placed his hand on John\'s shoulder, and the two vanished from sight. Only the still void remained, which remained still for some time.
Suddenly, an almost indistinguishable light appeared within the very center of the void, where the world seed had previously been. Energy slowly started to seep from the edges of the void towards the light source, as if feeding it.
The birth of the new world dimension seed had started.
...
Flash!
A flash of light appeared within the martial arena, catching the attention of those who had been left behind. John and the Grand Abbot appeared from out of the light, causing a few eyebrows to be raised.
The last time anyone had seen this man was at the entrance of the divine realm. Lilian was a short distance away, and glanced at John curiously. A small smile appeared a moment later, as John\'s gaze was not the one of a person who had failed. She nodded her head at him in an approving manner, while John smiled happily in silent reply.
"The time to close the realm has arrived," the Grand Abbot said to everyone, and without warning, waved his hand outwards.
All of the participants were wrapped up in a soft yet inescapable bubble of his power, shocking most of them. None of them could resist, and after wrapping all of them up, the Grand Abbots power flared once more.
Brightness enveloped their visions for a brief moment, and then it faded. Their feet landed on solid ground again, and a sprawling scene of a massive city, a raging river, and distant mountains came into their view.
They all instantly recognized where they were. Atop the stairs they had climbed at the entrance of the Divine Source Monastery.
John and the others took in the sudden change of scenery, and then heard a deafening wave of applause and cheering boom out from the city below them.
Thousands, tens of thousands, and then millions flooded out of the city and towards the stairs, their voices booming loudly in excited cheers.
Amidst the jubilant cheers were clear chants and words, easy for John and the others to hear.
Honorable Alliance!
Goddess of Death!
Immortal Asura!
The cheers boomed these words with enthusiasm and wonder, their hearts and souls behind each booming cheer.
John took in the surprising scene calmly, but although his face was calm, his heart fluttered with emotions. Even for someone like him, such a scene stirred his emotions. Millions cheering for the Honorable Alliance. Millions cheering for his master. Millions cheering for the Immortal Asura.
