Chapter 4627: Once Again Puzzled

'Its strength is comparable to a level-eight supreme powerhouse at least...'

Agu Li inhaled sharply as he looked at the swirling mist in front of him. If he had retreated a little later, even if he did not die, he would have been severely injured. He also finally confirmed Duan Ling Tian's words. It was not that he did not believe Duan Ling Tian, but he had an obsession with the mysterious place that the mist-shrouded places led to. This was because his master, whom he regarded as a father, had died in the mist-shrouded place. He had always wanted to find out the truth about his master's death. Moreover, if he could find his master's remains, he could also give him a proper burial. For this reason, he did not heed Duan Ling Tian's warning about the danger of the place.

It really shocked him that he, a level-seven supreme powerhouse, was forced out by whatever was there with just one move.

"It must have existed before the historical gap. Otherwise, how could those nine mysterious places not be recorded in any text in the Primordial World. Apart from the Three Upper Worlds, according to Duan Ling Tian, these places also exist in the God Defying World. I've also heard about their existence in other Worlds..."

Agu Li took a deep breath before he made his way to another mist-shrouded place in the Primordial World.

Similar to the first time, he was forced out with just one strike, Because he was well-prepared, he escaped unscathed.

'This is definitely not the same beast as before. Its aura and power are different...'

He wanted to check if the creatures were all the same, but he did not dare to do it before his breakthrough because he was not sure he would be able to retreat safely.

After that, Agu Li visited the remaining seven mist-shrouded places.

'All nine creatures are different. They're all extremely powerful and are at the very least comparable to a level-eight supreme powerhouse!'

Agu Li's expression turned grave. The confidence that he had gained after becoming a level-seven supreme powerhouse had been dealt a huge blow. Although he was, according to the heavenly text, the fifth level-seven supreme powerhouse after the historical gap, he was not the fifth strongest person in the world. There were at least nine ancient creatures that were much more powerful than him. Perhaps, due to certain rules, they could not wander out of those places. Otherwise, they would have wreaked havoc in the world.

'Fortunately, it seems like they can't leave. Otherwise, I don't know what kind of bloody destruction they would bring to the Myriad Worlds and the Outer Boundary...' Agu Li sighed in relief.

The five level-seven supreme powerhouses in the Myriad Worlds and the Outer Boundary stood at the peak, surpassing World supreme powerhouses and Saints. However, they were still no match for those ancient creatures.

After thinking about it for a moment, Agu Li left the Primordial World and went to the God Defying World.

...

"Brother Agu Li?"

Duan Ling Tian did not expect to see Agu Li so soon after they parted ways.

"What's the matter, Brother Agu Li? Did you explore those mysterious places?" Duan Ling Tian asked with a knowing smile.

"Yes," Agu Li nodded and said solemnly, "Brother Duan, your speculation is right. I think the nine mist-shrouded places indeed lead to a secret realm. I've checked all nine entrances in the Primordial World, and they have the same Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy that is different from that of the Myriad Worlds and the Outer Boundary."

"I haven't been to those places before, but I can arrange for someone to lead you there," Duan Ling Tian said. He did not sense any malice from Agu Li, and he could tell that Agu Li only wanted to investigate those places so he called Xiao Mu Bai over.

Soon after...

"Greetings, Lord Agu Li," Xiao Mu Bai said respectfully.

"Lord Xiao, thank you for your help," Agu Li said with a smile.

...

After seeing the duo off, Duan Ling Tian did not see them again until half a month later.

"Brother Duan!"

Agu Li's expression was very solemn as he recounted his experience to Duan Ling Tian.

"I know you have no interest in those places, but I thought I should share my findings with you. When I investigated the nine entrances in the Primordial World, I encountered nine different creatures in the nine entrances. Like I said before, they likely lead to different areas of the same secret realm. However, after investigating the entrances in the God Defying World, I discovered that the nine beasts here are the same as the ones in the Primordial World."

Agu Li paused for a moment before he continued to say, "We can't say for sure that the nine entrances all lead to one secret realm. They could very well lead to nine secret realms. However, I'm inclined to believe they lead to one secret realm. Like I said before, the energy in those nine places are the same..."

Although Duan Ling Tian was not interested in this matter, he was still surprised by Agu Li's discovery.

'So there are at least nine ancient creatures that are at least as powerful as level-eight supreme powerhouses?'

Duan Ling Tian frowned and searched the memories of the Void Elder for information. However, he could not find anything at all about the nine mist-shrouded entrances, which was very strange.

'The Void Elder lived during the time before the historical gap. If I'm not mistaken, those entrances and the place they lead to should have existed before the historical gap. That's why it's strange that there's no information about them at all in the Void Elder's memories. It's as though they didn't exist...'

Duan Ling Tian shook his head helplessly.

After Agu Li left the God Defying World for the Transcendence World, Duan Ling Tian could not help but sigh at his pursuit of knowledge.

'I hope his curiosity won't stir up any trouble... He was forcefully driven out every time, and those creatures can't seem to leave... I really hope nothing happens...'
