After realizing this, their expressions all became dark.
A look of disgust appeared on Xu Xiaolan’s pretty face.
If those at the Tai Chu Continent held a vote on which place living beings would least want to go to, the Opposite Shore Realm would definitely place in the top three.
This wasn’t to say that the Opposite Shore Realm was extremely detestable or disgusting.
Rather… they just didn’t want to go there!
The creatures living in the Opposite Shore Realm were all extremely abnormal; they didn’t appear like normal living beings at all. If one stayed there for too long, they themselves would also become abnormal. This abnormality was contagious!
Moreover, there were indeed many dead things in that place. The environment there was fairly uncomfortable. If scaredy-cats entered that realm, they would be even more susceptible to becoming retarded.
In addition, the natural law of heaven and earth in that realm was especially peculiar.
The space there was blessed by the heavens. In other words, it was one with the heavens. As such, spatial power was unusable in that realm.
Sunlight couldn’t penetrate through the sky there either. Thus, it was stuck in an eternal night time.
The closer one was to death, the more powerful one would become.
The more vigorous one’s life force, the more their power would be suppressed by heaven and earth.
Because of this, many beings of the Opposite Shore Realm practiced the dao of death or the dao of ghosts. Dressing up as ghosts or playing the devil were very common sights there…
An Lin and the others didn’t like the Opposite Shore Realm. However, they had no choice but to go there.
Dongfang Zhuangshi drew on all his power as he continually increased his speed.
After fifteen minutes, they finally arrived at the outskirts of the Opposite Shore Realm.
Spatial power already couldn’t be used here. Dongfang Zhuangshi was completely exhausted anyway, and Xiao Ze took over his role. He transformed into a ten-thousand feet long black dragon and continued fleeing with everyone else on his back.
“This is the Opposite Shore Realm? It looks so colorful and beautiful!” An Lin was astonished.
That’s right, the first impression that this realm gave people was colorful and beautiful!
The sky was already a murky grey. As they traveled deeper into the realm, the night sky became darker and darker. Eventually, the sky became ink-black in color. As if to make up for the drab sky, the land of the Opposite Shore Realm was especially colorful and vibrant.
The multi-colored land radiated with a soft glow. It was as though a beautiful sheet of silk had been draped over it.
Various types of exquisite and bewitching plants bloomed on this vast land. Some of them glowed, and some of them danced in the wind. This was a true eye-opener for An Lin.
“Which direction should we head to now?” Xiao Ze asked.
Dongfang Zhuangshi stroked his chin. “The Divine Bat Emperor will definitely enter the Opposite Shore Realm and keep chasing us. Perhaps it’s already contacted the Dao Integration Stage beings of the Opposite Shore Realm and asked them to help capture us. The border which leads to the Nine States is most likely under heavy guard now. Let’s go look for a few materials first. I’ll refine a pill that can hide our auras!”
Having a reliable senior in the group sure was good. He even knew how to refine pills! Massive thumbs-up!
“There’s a renowned Pill City one thousand kilometers to our southeast. We can search for materials over there,” the Jade Bone Immortal Bug suddenly said at this moment.
“Little Gu, you’ve been to the Opposite Shore Realm before?” An Lin exclaimed in delight.
“Of course! I’m extremely familiar with this place. Within the Opposite Shore Flower lies the Opposite Shore Butterfly; the flower blooms, the leaves fall, and it disappears forever. This place is the optimal choice if one wants to attain enlightenment in the way of karma and death.
“I attained enlightenment regarding how to metamorphosis in the Opposite Shore Realm!”
The Jade Bone Immortal Bug bobbled its head as it spoke smugly.
This was even better; they even had a guide now! They would take to the Opposite Shore Realm like a duck to water.
As for the pursuing Dao Integration Stage beings? The Opposite Shore Realm was so vast, and they didn’t have the help of the Heavenly Eye Spell Formation either. Guarding the borders was the best they could do. Finding An Lin and the others would be no easy task.
This was a contest to see who was more patient and resourceful. It was a contest to see who would give out first.
They took a mere fifteen minutes to cover the one-thousand-kilometer journey.
When they descended on the outskirts of Pill City, An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, and Dongfang Zhuangshi put on clothes that were more concealing. Xiao Ze transformed into a young human male. After all, they needed to evade the pursuits of the Divine Bat Emperor, so it was best that they kept a low profile.
The Jade Bone Immortal Bug transformed into a small butterfly and landed on An Lin’s shoulder. Ao Niu, the Divine Poison Frog, the golden groundhog, and Gluttony all transformed into their mini forms. They followed behind the others like obedient pets.
Apart from Gluttony appearing a little ugly, the other beasts were all fairly adorable.
Pill City hovered high up in the skies. It was hundreds of kilometers in radius, and there was a space restricting spell formation surrounding it.
An Lin and the others walked up a flight of steps and quickly arrived before a grand entrance. There were two pitch-black three-headed dogs standing guard at either side of the entrance. They were one hundred feet in height, and there appeared to be no hints of life force radiating from them. There was a dangerous glint in their crimson eyes.
They were called Cerberus, and they had extremely powerful inspection abilities.
These Cerberus were responsible for guarding the gate, and any being that entered had to be inspected by them.
Quite a lot of beings were already lining up to enter Pill City.
A deep and heavy voice suddenly sounded, “You… don’t have the right to enter!”
The snake person’s expression changed drastically, and it was just about to flee. However, the Cerberus was even quicker, and it arrived before the snake person in a flash. It widened its bloody maws and bit onto the snake person.
“Ahhh!” the snake person howled in pain.
The other beings all looked on quietly.
The snake person’s body was ripped apart by the Cerberus, then it was swallowed into the dog’s belly.
An Lin was astounded. If one doesn’t have the right to enter, then even their right to leave is deprived of them?
What kind of f*cking rule is this?!
Anyhow, he wasn’t afraid of those two Cerberus. Their ranks were merely that of the Soul Formation Intermediate Stage, and he could kill them both with a single punch.
In no time, An Lin and the others arrived at the front of the queue.
He took out the black entry permit card that the Jade Bone Immortal Bug had given him. A red glow flashed across the Cerberus’ eyes, and they instantly lowered their heads in respect. “Welcome, Your Highness!”
“M-hm” An Lin acknowledged them with a deep grunt as he calmly entered the gate.
Xu Xiaolan and the others silently followed behind him.
The queuing beings of the Opposite Shore Realm—that were already accustomed to silence—gazed at An Lin and the others enviously. They couldn’t help but start conversing spiritedly. They were evidently curious about this group of important persons.
An Lin sighed in his mind.
By the looks of it, Little Gu did indeed fare pretty well in the Opposite Shore Realm.
After entering, what lay before them was a wide path that stretched toward the main city.
This path was formed from numerous strips of colorful energies. It looked like a beautiful and dreamy rainbow path that soared toward the hovering Pill City.
An Lin held onto Xu Xiaolan’s hand as they continued forward. The rainbow path was soft underfoot, and it felt like they were treading upon a spongy surface.
Gluttony’s appetite was immediately stimulated by this rainbow bridge. It licked its lips in excitement. Dongfang Zhuangshi held it back just as it was about to take a bite.
“Stop drawing attention!” the middle-aged male scolded. “Also, stop trying to eat everything!”
Gluttony pouted its lips. The pout of a sheep-bodied and human-faced beast… Sorry, but An Lin couldn’t bring himself to appreciate this sight.
Dongfang Zhuangshi relented upon seeing this. “Okay, I’ll let you take a bite when we leave.”
Gluttony smiled happily.
They quickly crossed the rainbow path and arrived at the renowned city of the Opposite Shore Realm—Pill City!
This was an extremely extravagant city. The ground was paved with the best spirit jades, and every single street lamp had a vital stone sitting within it. Not only did it provide light, but it also provided a rich amount of vital energy.
Countless jelly-like, gem-encrusted buildings dotted the vast land.
In the city square, there was also a musical fountain that spurted jets of flaming lava liquid and extreme ice liquid. They formed all kinds of fanciful images in mid-air, and they brought life to the pitch-black night sky.
Countless beings laughed and danced around it. The atmosphere was lively and bustling with excitement.
An Lin felt that his impression of this city could be summarized with two words.
Magnificent and resplendent!
