"I did not expect to see you here, Sister Renhuo. Who would have thought you went to the Lower Heaven? And for us to meet here, even the Lower Heaven is pretty small if you look into it."

"Ah, didn't Sister Xue not tell you of my ascension? Before I ascend I gave her poison to kill the Regal Lightning Tigers so I thought she would have told you. Wait, speaking of Sister Xue, where is she? I don't think the two of you will separate without reason."

Yan Renhuo descended the mountain with Wang Ling. And as they conversed they come upon Wang Ling's ignorance about her ascension so she asked.

Wang Ling released a dry laugh as he explained the next moment, "We were separated, my transcendence from my Mortal Body and Immortality is unique than most and we were dragged into this world without a choice. I actually planned on calling upon your help to bring me back to the Celestial Spirit Realm but I first need to find her first, wait, what if she's back in the Celestial Spirit Realm? Hmm, can I asked you a favor? Can you actually bring me home?"

Wang Ling asked with a smile of expectation on his face. However, the voice of the Gray Figure echoed inside his head, "You cannot go outside of this place, my successor."

Just as Wang Ling was about to ask what is happening Yan Renhuo already spoke up, "I am sorry Brother Ling, but I cannot bring you back even if I wanted to, the Black Dragon's Final Battlefield is sealed from the inside.

"Every Passage to the Final and those who enter cannot come out of the First Layer unless you go to the second layer…"

Wang Ling stopped dead on his tracks, how come he never heard of it before?

"What do you mean? I was not informed of this when I entered this place."

Despite the sudden news, Wang Ling was calm. Being disoriented will only bring him unwanted pressure that will cause him to break. He needed to be flexible about certain subjects as to not cause trouble for himself.

"The battlefield is currently sealed from the outside and only those from the outside can enter at the moment but even that will disappear in 3 days. You may have already noticed it, Brother Wang Ling but the number of people in the Weapon's God Mountain is currently few at the peak. But look at the foot of the mountain, there's a great number of them gathering and trying to go up the mountain, these people are new here and most of them are nothing but second-rate Young Immortals of the Lower Heaven.

"The people outside had already sealed this place so we cannot come out and they are bringing the Young Masters of different power as if they are avoiding something, do you know why that is so?"

"A war between Thousand Sword Province and the Heavenly Dragon Empire?"

"Close but not quite. The Mainland of the Lower Heaven is embroiled in a war against the Abyss. It is just like the one in our Realm, but unlike our Realm, they have no Origin World to divert the Abyssal Portals and minimize the appearance of the Portals. The people of power in Lower Heaven is currently sending the Young Immortals here to keep them safe. They say that it wasn't supposed to be like this, but the stubborn ones who claim that they will fight and the useless ones who only spend time with women and drinking were sent here so as not to become a liability outside.

"Now, the only way for us to leave is to qualify for the army they are building outside the Battlefield. The requirement to be a part of the army is to be an eighth meridian such is the reason why the second layer is not sealed."

Wang Ling listened to her words and was enlightened about the current situation of the world. Embroiled in a war against enemies of unknown limitations so they are determined to protect them in a place where the rules cannot be destroyed.

"The people of the Lower Heaven is pretty smart but at the same time stupid, even if they die then they will be able to preserve their people but if the people outside losses then everyone here will die after reaching the eighth meridian. They cannot copulate and create offspring that will stay at so their line will be cut off sooner or later. The Abyss is a being who craves for the souls of other beings, they were the deterrent I created so the Devil and Holy Race will stop fighting they are not to be trifled with."

The Gray Figure commented while still inside Wang Ling. His comments made Wang Ling crease his brows. He had always thought that the Gray Figure's morality is different than his but he had yet to see its limitations or so Wang Ling thought. His instincts dictated him to be warry of the Gray Figure as much as possible.

Wang Ling ignored it for now and observed the surrounding area, [The people in this place is truly improving.]

On the peak of the Weapon God's Mountain, only Yan Renhuo and Wang Ling remained. It was weird that no one was currently there other than them but Wang Ling did not question it too much. But when Wang Ling lowered his head and saw the many idiots trying to ascend to the peak, Wang Ling found their number to be disturbing.

"They cannot even get past the tenth steps, I think I know why they are referred to as wastrels. How did they even get here anyway? Did this place have so much fifth-generation Deity Beast Skin to direct them here?"

"It seems like they were brought here from a fleet, they traveled via sea instead of spatial transformation."

Wang Ling understood but then his thoughts wandered and he began to think.

[I am missing a giant piece of this puzzle aren't I? This is a place for Immortals for 300 years of age and below, if that is the case, then how about Xue? She had been imprisoned with the blood of the Phoenix and Dragon for thousands of years — is she even here?]

Wang Ling became worried. It had been such a minor detail that he had but forgotten such a thing.

Looking at the horizon, Wang Ling came into a realization, "She's not here isn't she?"

And as for Bai Xue, she is continuously running, in search of Wang Ling somewhere in the Lower Heaven. She searched and searched but she will find no one until Wang Ling comes out of the Black Dragon's Final Battlefield.

For how many years that would take? Not even Wang Ling knows.

"It seems like she is quite in a pickle. The Abyssal Beings will slay everyone they see as enemies, my successor, it seems like the life of your little friend is in danger." The Gray Figure snickered as it commented.

[As such, their fate intertwines albeit their distance was considerable it was still connected. With this, he will push himself and reach the seventh meridian even faster. That fox's existence is still useful after all.] Such is the thought of the Gray Figure.
