Chapter 10: A Journey to Higher Dimensions Chapter 39 The Center of the World
The sky was dark and the wind was howling.
All seventeen giant apes bowed respectfully: "King."
"There is only one year left until the Ten Thousand Races Arena." The one-armed giant ape king is the smallest, but his invisible aura is the most vast and unfathomable. "The Ten Thousand Races Arena is located in the center of the world. Even if we take a flying vehicle to get there, it will take a month. Let's set off early."
"Yes." All the giant apes responded respectfully.
Soon a huge flying vehicle arrived, and the one-armed giant ape king and seventeen giant apes all stepped into it.
Inside the hall of a large aircraft.
The one-armed giant ape king watched the outside scenery quickly become smaller. The aircraft quickly broke through the clouds and began to fly at super high speed.
"Strong men from all sides will go there, and by then, they can also meet old friends." The one-armed giant ape king thought. He was already a half-step to the third realm, and he also knew the half-step to the third realm and the abyss lords in many surrounding territories.
Therefore, the one-armed giant ape king also knew some of the top powerful people who were moved here this time.
"King." Suddenly a golden-haired giant ape said, "Do we, the ordinary giant apes, still have hope of getting out?"
"We have been hunting down those weak races over the years. As time goes by, those weak races have become stronger. Some of our giant apes' high-dimensional life forms have been killed." The skinny giant ape Luo Jin also said, "With our strength, do we still have a hope of winning the first place in the Ten Thousand Races Arena?"
The golden-haired giant ape and the skinny giant ape are the two most powerful ones in the giant ape tribe, second only to the king.
"You have little hope."
The one-armed giant ape king looked at his men and said, "I will not hide it from you. The first few times in the Ten Thousand Races Arena were opportunities for the powerful races. Even I had to fight hard for it. Your chances of success are zero! In the middle and late stages, the advantages of the weaker races will become greater and greater, and you will have no chance either."
The giant apes were silent.
They tried every possible way to kill them, hoping to increase their chances. However, they were all very smart, and the more they fought with those weak races, the more they realized their own mediocrity.
"Your only chance... is your lifespan." said the one-armed giant ape king.
"Lifespan?" The giant apes' eyes lit up.
"Another advantage of powerful races is that they generally have a long lifespan. The Five-Colored Dragons generally have a lifespan of 100,000 years, the Mountain Demons generally have a lifespan of 10,000 years, and our Gigantic Apes generally have a lifespan of 1,000 years." The One-Armed Gigantic Ape King said, "A thousand years is the basic lifespan. As you become stronger and stronger, your aging will be greatly slowed down, and you can definitely live to tens of thousands of years."
"And those weaker races, like the ants, have a basic lifespan of 30 years. Even if their aging rate is slowed down by hundreds of times, a lifespan of more than 10,000 years is already quite remarkable. The human race has a basic lifespan of 200 years, so if their aging rate is slowed down by a hundred times, it would be quite remarkable."
"Our bodies are too large, so it's more difficult to slow down aging, but 30 to 50 times is still possible."
"For the Five-Colored Dragon Clan, as long as the aging rate is several times slower, the lifespan can be hundreds of thousands of years."
The one-armed giant ape king looked at them and said, "After living for tens of thousands of years, all the strong men from the weak races will no longer exist, and your competitors will also decrease, so your chances will naturally increase."
"Of course, there will be a large number of powerful races competing with you at that time." said the one-armed giant ape king.
The giant apes nodded.
yes.
If you live long enough, you can participate in the arena of all races tens of thousands of years later.
The one-armed giant ape king continued to look at the outside world, thinking to himself: "I can feel that I am approaching the limit of my race. I have only been promoted one level in the past hundred years. In the future, the promotion will be even slower."
"Strong races are more likely to reach the upper limit, so we must seize the first few opportunities to get first place. The longer we delay, the more strong people will reach the upper limit, and the competition will become more and more intense."
…
"The Ten Thousand Races Arena will be held in a year, and I have to see my future competitors with my own eyes." An ant who was only 20 centimeters tall, with a stern look in his eyes, sat in a small flying vehicle.
"I, Hafucheng, have been practicing for more than 300 years and am only at level 43. In terms of physical toughness, I think I am stronger than level 60 mountain demons and giant gods. But my body is too small, and the strength I exert is less than one millionth of that of a level 60 mountain demon." The ant tribe strongman thought, "My body is getting tougher and tougher, and the density is getting higher and higher, so it is getting harder and harder to improve."
"We both reached level 60, but it was much harder for me than for the Mountain Demons and Giant Gods."
"Even in the early stages, I wasn't even qualified to participate."
The strong ant tribe said secretly.
"However, now I can hide my breath perfectly and disguise myself as a noble among the ants." The strong ant thought. After a long period of reproduction, the ants can be divided into three major categories within the tribe.
The highest-ranking members are the royal family , all of whom are females. They are very large, about three to five meters tall, and they give birth to countless ants.
The nobles of the ant tribe are large, about 20 to 30 centimeters tall, and their intelligence is comparable to that of normal humans. The social operation of the ant tribe is mainly maintained by the nobles.
Ordinary ants are only a few centimeters tall, hardworking, and relatively low in intelligence.
When the Abyss Lord 'Haverteng' first descended, he was on the body of an ordinary ant. He cultivated to level 43 and his body size was only 20 cm.
…
The underground demon rat empire.
"In one year, the once-in-a-millennium Ten Thousand Races Arena Competition will begin." A demon rat in a gray robe sat on a small sofa, looking at the prosperous scene in the center of the world on the light screen. "I was born into the demon rat clan. I completely gave up on the first five competitions! Once I go... I will probably be attacked and killed by a powerful race."
"First, concentrate on practicing for five thousand years, and then strive to become the number one among all races." The demon rat said secretly.
"Did the creator of the Ten Thousand Races World do this on purpose? Throwing me, a half-step third realm, into the Demon Rat Clan." The Demon Rat strongman was also quite aggrieved. In terms of small size, the Demon Rat Clan was enough to rank in the top five among all the races. Of course, it was much better than the Ant Clan. The Ant Clan was the smallest among all the races.
…
In a barren hilly area.
Xu Jingming has returned to his true appearance in this world. He is taller and stronger than before, and his body toughness has reached an incredible level.
"call."
Xu Jingming took a deep breath, and his deep breath made the earth tremble.
"drink!"
Xu Jingming exhaled suddenly, breaking through the air barrier, passing through a distance of several miles, and hitting a hill over a hundred meters high. The hill was turned into powder, finer than the sand on the beach.
"The seventh level of the Eight Directions Diagram, 'My Dao Realm'."
"Transcend life and practice my Tao. Tao is not obtained by enlightenment, but by walking." Xu Jingming frowned slightly.
"I use the mysteries of the mind to tap into the infinite potential of the body. Over the past three hundred years, my progress has become increasingly slow."
Xu Jingming looked towards the southeast.
That is the center of the world of all races and also the location of the arena of all races.
“Buzz.”
The watch suddenly rang.
Xu Jingming nodded gently.
"Master Ming." Yu Yangwei's enthusiastic voice came, "Ying and the others and I are going to the 'World Center City'. Do you want to come with us?"
"You guys go first. I will be there before the competition starts." Xu Jingming said.
"Then when we get to the World Center City, we must get together. I have wanted to meet Lord Ming for a long time, but I have never met him even once." Yu Yangwei said.
"I also want to meet Lord Ming." said another enthusiastic voice.
"Ming, see you in the world center city." Ying said.
Xu Jingming smiled and said, "Okay, see you then."
After shutting down the communication, Xu Jingming thought: "It's time to go home. The last time I went back was more than 50 years ago."
Although he has been wandering and practicing outside for many years, he still goes home every few decades. After all, his parents' lifespan is relatively limited.
"call."
Soon a small aircraft flew over and landed in front of Xu Jingming.
"Go home." Xu Jingming entered the aircraft.
…
More than a month later.
This small aircraft came directly to Jianghan City, the capital of Dongyun Kingdom, one of the seven human nations, and landed in the courtyard where his parents lived.
"Jingming, Jingming." Jing Yulong, Yuan Yu and his wife walked out of the house and shouted with joy.
"Dad, Mom." Xu Jingming said with a smile, but when he saw the baby in his mother Yuan Yu's arms, he was a little confused, "What is this?"
"Oh, this is your sister." Jing Yulong said.
“How many is this?” Xu Jingming blinked.
"My husband and I are healthy and live long, so of course we have to have more children. You, my sister, are the ninth child, right?" Jing Yulong said. Yuan Yu said, "You, the eldest, have been gone for decades, so of course we have to have more children to keep us company."
"Okay." Xu Jingming had nothing to say.
He refused to marry or have children, and his parents' advice was useless.
So the parents started having children themselves!
Because of the body refining method, my father is now at level 18, and my mother is at level 15. According to their current strength, they both have a lifespan of 500 to 600 years. They are only over 300 years old, which is the prime of their lives.
"How long will you be at home this time?" Yuan Yu asked.
"It won't be another half a month." Jing Yulong looked at his son.
They were very proud of this son, but in the past two hundred years, he had only come back a few times, and each time he stayed for less than a month.
"I'll stay for half a year this time before leaving." Xu Jingming said with a smile.
"Finally it's been a while." Jing Yulong said with a smile. Yuan Yu asked, "Where are you going this time?"
"Let's go to the World Center City." Xu Jingming did not hide it. "Willn't the Myriad Races Arena be open soon?"
"Yes, it's a competition that happens once every thousand years. Your mother and I are planning to go as well." Jing Yulong's eyes lit up with excitement. "Many humans will never see the Ten Thousand Races Competition in their lifetime. Your mother and I have practiced the body-refining method you created, which has greatly extended our lifespans, so we have the opportunity to watch the Ten Thousand Races Competition. Of course, we have to watch this greatest event of the Ten Thousand Races up close."
The Ten Thousand Races Competition is of great significance.
During the competition, even wars will have to be suspended, and all races will watch this competition.
"It is the greatest luck of our lives to watch the Ten Thousand Races Competition with our own eyes." Yuan Yu also said while holding the baby, "The only pity is that... our human race cannot be seen in the Ten Thousand Races Competition."
"Only 300 people have passed the screening and are able to enter the official competition." Jing Yulong said, "With so many powerful races, it is normal that the human race cannot enter the competition."
Xu Jingming listened with a smile.
"Son, let's go together when the time comes." Yuan Yu said.
"Okay, let's go together." Xu Jingming nodded.
…
As time passed, the attention of the entire world of all races began to converge on the center of the world, and everyone was looking forward to the official opening of the Ten Thousand Races Competition.
A medium-sized aircraft is flying above the clouds.
Xu Jingming, Jing Yulong, Yuan Yu who was holding a baby, and a group of younger brothers and sisters were all in the aircraft hall.
"Boss, we will arrive at the world center city in five minutes." said assistant Ni Yun.
Xu Jingming nodded. His eyes had already seen from afar the buildings that broke through the clouds. That was the center of the entire world.
"A whole family came to watch the competition." Xu Jingming shook his head slightly. Because there were so many people, he brought a lot of assistants and bodyguards.
"I saw it, the world's central city."
"arrive."
The group of younger brothers and sisters were very excited.
Watching the Ten Thousand Races Competition live is of great significance to every living being in the Ten Thousand Races World.
Xu Jingming also smiled slightly. He had already sensed powerful auras one after another. Now, the center of the world was filled with powerful people!
