My gorgeous wife

Chapter 2060 - 2028: Starry Sky Visitor

As the helm of the Nether King Group, Catherine has been steering it for years, and has long run the Nether King Group like a tight ship.

It can be said that, in the entire Martial Artist World, anyone faces the risk of falling into decline, but the Nether King Group will not.

At least, for several generations, even dozens of generations, it will absolutely not happen.

Because the foundation of the Nether King Group is so deep, deeper than anyone could have imagined.

Not to mention the powerful figures within the Nether King Group itself, even among outsiders, many powerful figures have chosen the Nether King Group as their place to retire when they decided to retreat.

The Nether King Group doesn’t just have a secretive base unknown to outsiders; according to legend, the Nether King Group also has a vast barrier world belonging to no specific inheritance.

And those powerful figures who choose to retire reside within this barrier world.

Of course, to reside in the Nether King Group’s barrier world, having high cultivation alone won’t suffice. At minimum, one must have made a significant contribution to the Nether King Group, or be a veteran loyalist, to be eligible to live there.

Because such a barrier world is not only secretive and safe but also more suitable for cultivation than the outside world.

For martial artists, such a place is entirely equivalent to the legendary paradises where immortals reside!

This is also why many powerful figures are eager to join the Nether King Group.

Because while other ancient inheritances might also have such barrier worlds, their entry requirements are probably even stricter than the Nether King Group’s.

Places like the Mystic Star Sect and Kunlun outright prohibit anyone who isn’t a direct disciple or who isn’t practicing their cultivation techniques from entering the barrier world, regardless of how significant the contributions one might have made. Yet the Nether King Group can be considered an exception.

Of course, such a model of the Nether King Group is something that ordinary sects can’t learn from.

After all, not everyone has the confidence that the Nether King Group possesses.

...

"Brother Fan, it has been some time since we last met, hasn’t it?" Beside Fan Bayin, Xiao Lang spoke cheerfully. The young man who was once dubbed ’Little Wolf’, has now become quite an extraordinary figure.

"It’s better not to see each other." Fan Bayin glanced at Xiao Lang with a grunt: "Every time you meet me, you curse me. Was it necessary to hold a grudge just because I taught you a lesson in those days?"

Xiao Lang’s expression suddenly froze.

When he first came down from the Mystic Star Sect, he was indeed quite arrogant, because Li Chen and those elders had ascended, so Xiao Lang called out to challenge the strong of the world, then ran into Fan Bayin who was summoning souls and refining ghosts in the deep mountains, and Xiao Lang directly took Fan Bayin for some evil person, engaging in a fierce battle with him.

... and then was utterly crushed by Fan Bayin.

It goes without saying, although Fan Bayin was a traditional Spirit Summoner, his personal cultivation was by no means weak, and Li Chen even guided him in those days, beyond what Xiao Lang, newly emerged from the mountains, could handle.

Later, after clarifying their identities, Xiao Lang realized that revenge was not possible and could only rely on the Mystic Star Sect’s Bagua Computation, to utter curses to Fan Bayin every few days. Of course, these curses were just jokes.

It’s just that for unknown reasons, Fan Bayin’s luck had been down recently, so seeing Xiao Lang was anything but pleasant.

"By the way, how’s Shi Ying senior?" At this moment, Yuchi Guang noticed the stiff atmosphere between the two and hastily interjected.

"Shi Ying, ah." Fan Bayin shook his head: "That old guy is from the Demonic Path, and lately, he seems to have demonized. He’s been hiding in the barrier world all day, muttering about ascending to the Demon Realm if he ascends, and saying he wants to trial in the barrier world’s Third Layer."

"The Third Layer of the Nether King Group’s barrier world?" Yuchi Guang’s expression also shifted: "I’ve heard about it; it’s said that it’s perilous. That one has ventured inside for trials as well. One misstep could mean Nine Deaths One Life."

"I can only wish him luck." Fan Bayin shook his head, having known Shi Ying for many years, though the old guy is not easy to get along with, they’ve been friends for years. If Shi Ying indeed meets his end in the Third Layer of the barrier world, Fan Bayin would indeed feel uncomfortable.

But he also knows that martial artists who’ve reached this stage have minds as firm as iron, and once a decision is made, it’s not easily changed.

"Alright, enough chatter, let’s hit the road. Those fellows from the minor world have already set off, we need to watch over them." Fan Bayin waved and said: "Our task this time is to ensure their safety."

Xiao Lang and Yuchi Guang nodded, they were already outside the Oblivion Cliffs, close to their destination.

"Shhhhhh——"

At this moment, a meteorite with a long fiery tail suddenly descended from the sky.

"It’s here!"

Watching that meteorite, the three showed a solemn expression in their eyes.

To completely block such a meteorite, it’s not something they can do, and not even the Infinite Level experts would dare claim it’s easily achievable. So, while the Nether King Group stationed many hands, it primarily aimed to reduce the impact when the meteor lands.

"Boom!!!"

With a tremendous roar, the meteorite pierced through the sky, landing directly into the abyss beside the Oblivion Cliffs, causing the entire ground to shake as if an earthquake occurred when the meteorite touched down.

"The power of nature, truly terrifying." Feeling the intense commotion, even Xiao Lang couldn’t help but click his tongue.

"Watch closely, those folks have moved." Fan Bayin spoke.

In the distance, several figures had quietly emerged, like ghosts, swiftly diving deep into the abyss of the Oblivion Cliffs.

Simultaneously, several phantoms surged from Fan Bayin’s body.

The phantoms moved rapidly, like shadows, and in an instant, followed the distant figures and vanished together.

"These are my Shadow Spirits, following their shadows. With Shadow Spirits locking onto their position, we won’t lose the target," Fan Bayin said to the two beside him: "Let’s follow behind, if anything dangerous occurs, I’ll have the Shadow Spirits pull them out."

"I wish a powerful cosmic visitor would come so I could have a good fight." Xiao Lang shrugged.

"You must have lost your mind." Fan Bayin scoffed at Xiao Lang: "What if this cosmic visitor is a Heavenly Level existence?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lang promptly shut his mouth.

Though he was strong, he never thought he could contend with a Heavenly Level existence.

Meanwhile, the meteorite that landed at the bottom of the Oblivion Cliffs began emitting wisps of smoke.

Before long, layers of stone shell peeled off its surface, revealing the metal ball inside.

Inside, there seemed to be something awakening, as the metallic sphere slowly extended a form, and vaguely, through the metal sphere, one could see a white, sacred figure.
