Free Web NovelChapter 1212: Familiar Sensation
The people that observed the creation of the portal felt their hearts tremble in amazement.
Aldrian really could do it!
Even before entering the portal, the portal itself already exuded a dense heaven and earth energy unlike anything they had ever felt before. Even the place with the densest heaven and earth energy on Earth could not compare to it.
If just the portal alone could make them feel this way, then what about once they entered it?
They suddenly could not wait to step inside!
But their shock did not stop there as Aldrian suddenly created another portal beside the first one, forming a pair of twin portals.
They were truly speechless. Was Aldrian not tired whatsoever after creating something like this?
"Your m—I mean, Your Excellency, may I enter first?" Bai Cangming asked.
Aldrian smiled at him and nodded.
"Please." He gestured with his hand for Bai Cangming to enter.
The others did not say anything and simply allowed Bai Cangming to try first. Although they themselves were already filled with anticipation and wanted to enter immediately, they still let the leader of the China Hunter Association go ahead first.
They wanted to know whether it was safe.
Under the watch of countless people, Bai Cangming walked toward the first portal with quick steps. He was confident in Aldrian’s ability, so he did not think anything could go wrong with the portal. The only thing on his mind was that he wanted to feel the familiar heaven and earth energy once again.
He had already lived on Earth for almost four hundred years. Although that amount of time was not considered long back when he was still a god, it felt as though time flowed slower here. He felt as if he had lived in this place for a very long time.
He always felt limited, even suffocated, by Earth’s restrictions, making him feel as though he was not truly free.
The only thing that gave him spirit was Aldrian’s existence and his determination to not let the influence of those invaders spread any further, even to this remote place. As long as he could hold on until the Great Emperor regained his memories, and retook the entire First Heaven, then his mission here would be successful.
After walking for a while, he finally stepped into the portal. The familiar sensation of passing through a portal swept over his body before he stepped out on the other side and appeared in a completely different place.
Dense heaven and earth energy immediately surged toward him, while the gravity here was much heavier. He knew that beings from the outer realm would need time to adapt to a place like this. freeweɓnøvel.com
At this moment, Bai Cangming truly wanted to cry as he could finally feel this familiar sensation once again. But he was also deeply shocked by the density of the heaven and earth energy here. Even compared to most places in the Higher Heavens, this place could be considered to possess far denser energy.
’So this is the place His Majesty lives in during this life?’
He felt relieved that the Great Emperor could live in such an environment.
He blinked several times as he observed his surroundings.
Aldrian had created the portal on this side near one of the major cities inside the Eternal Sanctuary Forest.
Bai Cangming could see the city nearby, along with many cultivators looking at him as if they had already expected someone to appear from the portal. Their cultivation levels varied from Earl Stage to Pseudo Immortal Establishment Stage.
However, they did not say anything and merely watched him.
Then Bai Cangming’s attention shifted toward the floating land in the distance, where a grand palace stood upon it. His eyes widened in astonishment, and his eyes trembled.
’Isn’t that... isn’t that the Absolute Ruler’s Palace? But shouldn’t the palace be...in the Ninth Heaven?’
He still remembered the time when he and the forces of this universe had to leave the Ninth Heaven and evacuate to the lower heavens.
They had no choice but to abandon the Absolute Ruler’s Palace, one of the greatest symbols of the Great Emperor. The invaders were too many for them to handle, and they had to prioritize the lives of the beings in this universe.
The humiliation and sadness he felt at that time were still vividly etched in his memory.
Seeing that same palace standing there made him feel as though he had returned to the era when the Great Emperor still ruled over all things.
Tears finally fell from his eyes, which he quickly wiped away. The nearby cultivators who observed him wondered why he was crying, but none of them asked.
After wiping away his tears, Bai Cangming returned to Earth. The moment his figure appeared once more, the people watching immediately understood that the portal was safe!
Bai Cangming approached Aldrian and, without hesitation, dropped to his knees before kowtowing to him.
The others were astonished upon seeing this. Even Aldrian was surprised, quickly moving to lift Bai Cangming up.
"Why are you suddenly kowtowing to me? You do not have to do that, Mister Gao," Aldrian said. Even he did not expect Bai Cangming to suddenly kowtow toward him in front of countless people. He truly did not care about his image at all!
Bai Cangming took a deep breath as he stood up and revealed a smile.
"I just wanted to kowtow to you, Your Excellency. Just consider it my gratitude for coming here and giving us a chance to experience the Inner Realm. With this portal, the beings of this world now have a chance to grow beyond their limits, and it could also help develop our world into a much better place."
Aldrian released a deep breath. He knew Bai Cangming did not truly mean those words. Judging from the signs that he had just cried, it was clearly something personal.
Still, Aldrian smiled at him.
"I see, but you do not have to do that, Mister Gao. You are really surprising me."
Bai Cangming only smiled and did not say anything. Aldrian could only release a soft sigh while smiling before looking at the other people watching them.
"I have already created two portals. The first one is for entering the inner realm, while the other is for returning to Earth. Although both portals can be used to go back and forth, this arrangement will help keep the flow of people orderly," Aldrian said with a voice that could be heard by thousands of people.
"On the other side is a world unlike anything you have ever seen before. The moment you step inside, you will instantly feel the difference between this realm and the Inner Realm. You will need time to adapt there, as the world on the other side has much heavier gravity but far denser heaven and earth energy."
"There are also some things that are common in this world but uncommon in my world. For anyone entering the portal, please learn about the culture of my world first before exploring further, so you do not offend the people there in the future."
"I have already informed the people on the other side about all of you, so they will show some leniency if you make mistakes. But please do not test the people of the Inner Realm, because your laws and morals do not entirely apply to them. You might truly die if you dare to disrespect them or try something funny."
The people’s expressions were already serious. They absorbed every piece of information Aldrian gave them.
"For anyone who steps through the portal, you will instantly be marked with a special aura that can be detected by the people of the Inner Realm. They will immediately recognize you as beings from the Outer Realm," Aldrian continued.
"Now, anyone who wants to see the other side may go."
Aldrian and his wives then began to float into the air.
Bai Cangming also followed them as they saw some people starting to approach the portal.
"Please enter the portal in order! You do not have to rush!" Aldrian said.
The first people to enter the portal were the Eleven Heroes along with some of the Otherworlders.
Aldrian could also see the princess of the Ageras Kingdom and her group entering the portal with the others despite their discomfort. Even the elves, who usually did not want to mingle with other races, had no choice but to mix with them as they entered the portal.
As they continued observing the people entering the portal, Aldrian looked at Bai Cangming.
"So you will leave your position as the leader of the Hunter Association?"
"Of course. Why would I want to keep it? That position is meaningless to me now. The most important thing for me is to follow Your Majesty on your journey. I will just pass the position to someone else," Bai Cangming replied.
Aldrian smiled.
"I can already imagine how many people will try to keep you in that position."
Bai Cangming shrugged.
"Well, I do not care. They will have to find my replacement whether they like it or not."
"Then what about your disciples?" Aldrian asked again.
"I will guide them for some more time so they can get used to the ’real’ cultivation before I let them go explore the cultivation world by themselves. They are already adults and can learn many new things on their own," Bai Cangming replied.
"Well, maybe except for Ruan Jingxue. I will give special attention to her. With her special physique, she is too precious to simply let go, after all."
Aldrian nodded. He did not find it strange that Bai Cangming favored Ruan Jingxue because of her special physique.
While Aldrian and Bai Cangming conversed, the people who had already stepped through the portal finally experienced the sensation of the Inner Realm.
