Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

The Wuji Heavenly Emperor nodded. The next moment, her palm opened to reveal an illusory painting.

Chu Qin had seen this painting before; it was exactly the same as the one shown by the Tian Qiang Elder.

The difference was that the several largest points were now connected to each other, and there was only one cross point, where the light was dazzling.

"This point of light represents the center of the entire universe. From here, moving upward, we can reach the outer heavens. Beyond the outer heavens is the Illusory Gate of No Bounds, which leads to Tianmen!" explained the Wuji Heavenly Emperor. "Once through the Illusory Gate of No Bounds, aside from the power of the Azure Dragon and the Ancestral Emperor, we shall no longer be able to return to this universe. Furthermore, if Tianmen is struck, the Illusory Gate of No Bounds will close for a hundred thousand years. During that time, no one's power will be able to open this gate!"

"That sounds so exciting!" Xiaowu exclaimed, feeling more thrilled than afraid. "Chu Qin, Sister Wuji, let's hurry there!"

Upon hearing this, the Wuji Heavenly Emperor looked towards Chu Qin, who nodded in agreement.

Following that, Chu Qin snapped his fingers, and everyone vanished from the spot in an instant.

The next second, they appeared in a peculiar place.

Here, they were at the deepest, central part of the universe, with an endless darkness below and, seemingly, a boundless white cave above!

The white hole radiated an extremely splendid brilliance, illuminating the entire universe like a dream-like illusion.

At that moment, everyone couldn't help but admire the wonders of the universe's creation.

Moreover, from within the white hole, an overwhelming pressure emanated—a pressure so intense that even semi-step Saint Emperors like Xiaowu felt uncomfortable.

One could imagine that it would be very difficult for those who had survived the three calamities and the Sky Calamity Supreme God to reach this place, while those who had faced two or one calamity could be directly crushed.

It was only when Chu Qin drew upon his Divine Power that the oppressive feeling dissipated.

"That is the Illusory Gate of No Bounds!" the Wuji Heavenly Emperor said, pointing towards the white hole. "Although it seems close at hand, in reality, it's as far as an entire universe's dimension away from us!"

"To enter the Illusory Gate of No Bounds, one must traverse the Unknown Realm universe. The pressure inside the Unknown Realm universe is tremendous, making it impossible for even Saint Calamity Supreme Gods to pass through smoothly. Therefore, apart from Emperor Kun of the Illusionary Realm, no other being resides there, and except for the powers of the Ancestral Emperor, all Divine Senses will be rendered ineffective. One must ride the Illusionary Realm Emperor's Warship, or else they could easily be lost forever in the Unknown Realm!"

"We shouldn't need to ride the Emperor's Warship, though," Chu Qin said with a smile.

"In theory, that's correct, but without the Emperor's Warship, one would have to travel through the Unknown Realm for a month," the Wuji Heavenly Emperor said with a smile.

"Then we should still take the Emperor's Warship," Chu Qin quickly said with a smile.

"Where is the Illusionary Realm Emperor's Warship?"

Xiaowu asked with immense curiosity.

The Wuji Heavenly Emperor remained silent.

With a flick of her jade finger, a pale blue light shone from the necklace on her chest.

Soon after, in front of everyone, a gigantic beast millions of meters long appeared.

This beast bore some resemblance to the mythical Kun from the legends.

However, this Kun was adorned with seven colors.

Upon closer inspection, one could see a huge warship being carried on the back of the giant Kun!

The Wuji Heavenly Emperor, Chu Qin, and the others immediately teleported onto the warship.

"Wuji Sister, this, this is the Illusionary Realm Emperor Kun!" Long Ling exclaimed in amazement as she gazed at the colossal kun beneath the warship.

"Yes, I captured it from the Illusionary Realm. It is the indispensable mount for the powerful beings who travel back and forth through Tianmen," Wuji Heavenly Emperor nodded with a smile, "He can traverse the Unknown Realm in three days."

"Moreover, this warship has been imbued with Divine Power by me, so it won't be crushed by the pressures within the Unknown Realm," Wuji Heavenly Emperor said with a light smile, "At the same time, no matter how the giant kun changes speed or direction, it won't affect us."

"Hmm!" Chu Qin nodded, "Then let's, let's set off!"

"Tianmen, here we come!" Xiaowu, Ning Rongrong, Wang Qiu'er, and the others shouted in unison.

"Woo~"

With a long howl, the Illusionary Realm Emperor Kun charged into the Unknown Realm like a rocket.

Inside the Unknown Realm, it wasn't at all like what everyone imagined, as if they were traveling through a space-time tunnel without a clear view of any scenery.

On the contrary, it felt as if time had stilled. Colors of every hue filled the Unknown Realm's space, interwoven like myriad competing flowers blooming in radiant splendor, a sight too beautiful for words.

"Wow, I really didn't expect the Unknown Realm to be so beautiful!" the women all exclaimed in amazement.

"Yeah, I thought the Unknown Realm would be just emptiness!" Ning Rongrong said comfortably, leaning on the railing.

"Wait, are we traversing the Unknown Realm because I feel like we're standing still?" the Life God King asked in confusion.

"I forgot to mention, the rules of the Unknown Realm are beyond common sense. The faster you go, the more it seems to stand still, and though the Unknown Realm looks beautiful, staring too long can make you dizzy. Once you step off this warship, what you'll experience is a terrifying pressure," Wuji Heavenly Emperor said with a smile, "Of course, on the warship, you are absolutely safe, and both Chu Qin and I will protect you."

"Is that, could that be the Illusory Gate of No Bounds!" Zhu Zhuyun pointed to a huge white hole ahead and asked.

"Yes!" Wuji Heavenly Emperor nodded.

"Then, if we follow this Illusory Gate of No Bounds, it shouldn't be possible to lose our sense of direction, right?" Su Jin asked with a raise of her brows.

"Jin'er," Chu Qin replied with a smile, "Wuji has already said that we cannot deduce the rules of the Unknown Realm with common sense, so what you see might not be the correct direction of the gate. It seems to be over there, but in reality, the gate is actually behind us!"

"Hmm, Chu Qin is right. Chu Qin, how did you know the direction of the gate?" Wuji Heavenly Emperor asked in surprise.

"Wuji, you said that we can't use Divine Sense within the Unknown Realm, but I can!" Chu Qin said to Wuji with a gentle smile.

"Ah!" Wuji was astonished, "Chu Qin, you can use Divine Sense!"

"Hmm!" Chu Qin nodded, "And the range is not small!"

"You're such a freak. It seems that you have exceeded my expectations," Wuji Heavenly Emperor couldn't help but exclaim.

Chu Qin returned a faint smile.

"I can't take it, I'm getting dizzy!" Xiaowu said.

"Me too, my eyes are starting to blur!" Shui Bing'er added.

Wuji Heavenly Emperor smiled faintly and with a wave of her sleeve, all the surroundings instantly vanished, "I told you, looking at the Unknown Realm for too long will make you dizzy. It's better not to stare for long."

"I can't, I need to sleep!" Xiaowu said, as she took out an outdoor chaise lounge from her Soul-Guiding Divine Artifact and lay down on it.
