The Infinite Mystery

While many tremendous changes occurred outside, in the space where the Core of the World is located, other than the core filled with ethereal and holy energy, there was a cocoon floating in space. As for previous dragon-shaped mountains, forests, lakes, and other natural terrains, nothing could be seen.

This space was completely dark and seemed to be extremely vast. The core of the world is like a sun giving out light to the surroundings, making things visible to a great extent in this dark space. As for the cocoon, it was rotating around the World's Core like a planet's rotation around the sun.

At this moment, a crack suddenly appeared on the cocoon which started spreading everywhere, and very soon, a spider's net-like cracks appeared all around the cocoon.

"Boom!"

The next instant, with a low explosive sound, the cocoon exploded and a figure appeared in this dark space. But unlike the cocoon, this figure stopped rotating around the World's Core.

A majestic and imposing aura erupted out of that figure's body that swept over like a flood sweeping hundreds of miles of area and drowning everything.

"Peak Worldly Immortal Realm!"

Qin Feng felt the strength in his body and took a deep breath. He doesn't know how much time has passed. He doesn't know about the transformation of the world. And he also doesn't know what exactly happened the moment he broke the chains binding the core of the world.

The only thing he remembered was the last moment before fainting. He still had that lingering fear in his mind. Although he know he couldn't die and upon death, he'll return back in time, he was still scared greatly. It is all because of what happened in that last moment of his memory.

In reality, after the shattering of the first runic chain, the world started changing and the transformation of the world started from the underworld pit, however, Qin Feng didn't feel any kind of change in his surroundings even after the shattering of the ninth chain for some reason. It was as if some kind of mysterious energy was not letting him feel or see the change happening in the surroundings.

All he saw was just chains shattering one after another.

However, when the last chain shattered, a huge shockwave exploded from the core of the world and swept over like a terrifying tsunami that seemed to be able to destroy the world itself.

It was also the time when he felt some kind of strange but calm and friendly energy entering his body. However, exactly this calm and friendly energy made him feel completely filled up. He felt that his body was going to explode because of overloaded energy, and not a single part of his body will survive this explosion.

This was the last feeling he had and the last memory he remembered of fainting.

And only now did he wake up. He doesn't know how much time has passed, but his cultivation base has unknowingly increased from the Peak of Heavenly Soul Realm to the Peak of Worldly Immortal Realm.

He couldn't believe it for a long time. It is because there is a fact that was never broken before.

If a Heavenly Soul Realm martial warrior wants to become an Immortal and step into the Worldly Immortal Realm, he or she has to go through the Thunder Tribulation. Only after passing the tribulation would a martial warrior's body will transform from a Mortal's body to an Immortal's body, and only then could one step into the Worldly Immortal Realm.

However, Qin Feng didn't need to go through all these things for some reason, and he had not only stepped into Worldly Immortal Realm, he even became a Peak Worldly Immortal Realm martial warrior.

Currently, he is only a step away from becoming a Heavenly Immortal Realm martial warrior. All he needs to do now is to cultivate well and accumulate a lot of energy.

"Maybe, this is the merit that Ye Zhiqui talked about before!" Qin Feng muttered in a low voice. He still remembered when Ye Zhiquib told him to return to the Profound Star Continent as soon as possible and help the Profound Star Continent return to being its past self by bringing its two parts together once again.

By doing this, he'll receive the world's merit that could help him with his cultivation.

And now, after he fainted and woke up, he found not only did he become an Immortal, his cultivation actually raised him to the Peak of Worldly Immortal Realm without him needing to endure and pass the Thunder Tribulation.

Now that he thought about it, this really seems to be the case.

Qin Feng looked at the World Core which was the only source of light in this endless dark space. Then he cupped his hand and expressed his thanks: "Thank you. I can't believe you helped me so much. I don't exactly know what happened after I fainted, but I'm thankful for my current cultivation base. If not for the merit of the world, I might not have reached this step so soon!"

[The merit was earned by you and you alone!]

Qin Feng suddenly heard a soft voice ringing in his mind that caused him to jump up in fright. Someone is here and he was actually unable to sense that person. It means that person must be very strong, at least far stronger than the current him.

But even after looking around for a while, he didn't see anyone.

"Was I hallucinating?" Qin Feng muttered. He then shook his head. He can't be hallucinating. 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮

As if to confirm his thoughts, the same voice once again rang in his ears.

[You are not hallucinating. I'm the will of this world. You helped me return to my original state, and in the future, I will continue to evolve and become a world where even Gods can exist. All of this is because of you!]

Qin Feng was stunned when he heard these words. It turned out that the Will of the World was communicating to him right now. He didn't expect the world to communicate with him.

Before Qin Feng could say anything, the same voice once again appeared in his mind, telling him to leave this space, for this space is not a place where a human should stay for a long time.

The next instant, a vortex was formed in front of Qin Feng. Qin Feng understood that this vortex will get him out of this space where the core of the world is located.

Alex nodded his head and expressed his thanks. Then he stepped forward. Just as he was about to step into the vortex in front of him, the voice of the world once again echoed in his mind, warning him about the situation outside.

[The world you knew has changed a lot from the moment you shattered the runic chains. Ten years have already passed. With your strength, you are strongest, however, you should still be careful. After all, I, the Profound Star World, am no longer as ordinary as before!]

Qin Feng was astonished. Not only does this world have a will and intelligence, but it also has humor. It actually said, 'After all, I, the Profound Star World, am no longer as ordinary as before!'

A smile appeared on his face, but when he thought about the ten years, the smile disappeared from his face. He didn't expect to sleep inside the cocoon for whole ten years. Although his strength has increased a lot, the fact that he lost ten years still existed.

Moreover, he is completely unaware of how the world has changed.

Qin Feng stepped into the vortex, and when he came out of it, he found himself standing on top of a mountain peak. Turning back to look, Alex saw the vortex disappearing slowly. f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

Qin Feng took a deep breath and then observed his surroundings. He could see sheets of clouds everywhere in the sky. The mountain peak that he was standing on currently seemed to be the tallest mountain. From here, he could see very far.

As far as he could see, only lush green forest could be seen. Other than forests, Qin Feng saw a few mountains and mountain ranges. He could also see towering demonic beasts of Immortal Level. He could see countless demonic beasts inside the forest. He could see many things from the mountain peak.

"So ten years have passed. The world has also changed a lot. I think I should first return to the Celestial Star Sect."

Qin Feng looked at the distant sky and muttered in a low voice. Then for the next few minutes, he decided what he would do from now on.

He has a few things to do. The first thing is to return to the Celestial Star Sect. The second thing he needed to do is to meet Ye Zhiqui, and the third thing he needed to is to meet his disciple, Su Yun.

Well, he has yet to accept Su Yun as his disciple. He had promised Su Yun that he'll accept him as his disciple if Su Yun could reach the peak of his world in three years.

But now, ten years have passed. Alex doesn't know how much stronger Su Yun has become, or what he thought about him when he didn't appear even after the duration of three years ended.
