Fantasy Simulator Chapter 144 Passageway

100 years later, Chen Heng finally left this world.
After confirming that the rune formation could not be completely restored, he decided to directly make preparations to leave.
During the hundreds of years that he had been here, Great Chen's territory had greatly expanded. As such, choosing a successor was an issue that weighed heavily on Chen Heng's heart.
It was not because he greatly cared for this kingdom but rather because he was worried it might affect his final Points calculation at the end.
As such, he spent a few decades choosing a good successor from the Chen family's younger generation, and he carefully nurtured him before leaving.
A wind lightly blew as Chen Heng stood in front of an ancient historical remnant.
This was a historical remnant that Chen Heng had found hundreds of years ago, and it was a passageway that a holy land had left behind.
Back then, this was one of the historical remnants that Chen Heng and Song Qi had discovered together.
This passageway had been greatly ravaged by the passage of time.
However, through Chen Heng's efforts over the past hundreds of years, it had been gradually restored.
"More than half of the missing sections have been restored; now, it will just depend on my luck…" looking at the altar, Chen Heng's expression was calm as he thought to himself.
Over the past few hundred years, he had done all he could. Now, it came down to his luck.
However, strictly speaking, this was not completely accurate—he was a transmigrator, and he himself was a variable.
He had used up his Fortune already many centuries ago, so this time, he would completely be relying on his luck.
Thinking to there, Chen Heng looked up at the altar in front of him.
In front of him, the altar was very big and took up hundreds of metres, looking quite grand.
Over the past few centuries, Chen Heng had become quite familiar with this altar.
Whether it was the appearance of the altar or the runes on the altar, he was completely familiar with them.
Many of those runes had been carved by himself—this was the restoration work for the passageway, and he had done as much as he could.
Now, he just needed to test it out.
In the past, Chen Heng had found two experimental subjects to test it.
However, there were obvious problems with this: Every time the altar was activated, it consumed much energy, and the damage caused to the altar was quite significant.
After all, this passageway had been long since ravaged and was no longer stable.
This kind of passageway was already unstable, and it was possible that after every test, it could break down.
If that happened, Chen Heng would be devastated.
As such, in the end, Chen Heng gave up on this idea.
He had to make sufficient preparations.
Standing before the altar, Chen Heng's gaze was calm as he waved his hand.
Faint motes of fiery light began to burn as dense magic energy covered the surroundings.
Chen Heng's body was illuminated by the fiery light, making him look holy and dignified.
Chen Heng slowly walked forwards towards the altar.
As he came closer, the fiery light became more intense, and runes began to dance with light.
They began to shine before connecting with each other, forming a complicated and mysterious diagram.
A golden door appeared before Chen Heng. It was not too tall, about three metres or so.
As Chen Heng watched on, ripples of spirit energy spread out from the door.
It did not look too stable.
"Looks like this is the best I have."
Chen Heng was not surprised at the instability of the passageway.
For teleportation rune formations like this, even a slight flaw could be fatal.
The more high level things were, the more important the intricate details were. This was something that was common to many worlds.
For this rune formation to be able to be activated despite only being 80% complete was already quite amazing.
Chen Heng lightly sighed and did not hesitate before slowly walking towards the golden door.
A wave of spirit energy reaction appeared.
As Chen Heng walked through the door, the spirit stones that had been prepared in the surroundings gave off a large amount of spirit energy, which flowed towards the door.
Following this, the door remained for a while longer before slowly disappearing.
At that moment, a strange energy appeared and Chen Heng fell into a unique state.
Chen Heng had experienced teleportation rune formations before and had become used to them.
It was just that comparatively speaking, the time taken for this teleportation seemed incredibly long, and the feeling was quite different to the previous teleportations.
A sharp feeling could be felt all around Chen Heng, and a tearing pain could be felt all over his body.
He was being pulled in different directions by countless energies. It could be said that if Chen Heng was not a True Lord and didn't have incredible power, he might not have been able to hold on for long before his body was torn to pieces.
This was one of the consequences of the rune formation being incomplete.
However, Chen Heng did not mind.
He had predicted all the various possibilities before entering the passageway, and this was something that he had expected.
However, what happened next surpassed his expectations.
Around him, ripples in space could be seen as he felt a lethal threat.
In the distance, a massive danger seemed to be coming closer, surging towards Chen Heng like rolling waves.
Chen Heng instinctively wanted to dodge, but he was unable to.
Within the rune formation, he could not move at all and could only passively receive everything.
Faint golden light shined from his body, giving off a holy feeling. Countless runes flew out, seeming to contain the profundity of a Great Dao.
A white pearl flew out from Chen Heng's chest, blocking in front of him.
This was something that Chen Heng had prepared.
Since he had been preparing to leave, he had envisaged all kinds of dangers in the passageway.
As such, he had prepared a large number of magic tools to defend against all kinds of situations.
The white pearl gave off light and defended against the storm ahead.
The golden light barrier persisted for a while before collapsing.
The white pearl directly shattered, and a priceless magic tool was destroyed.
Chen Heng's gaze was calm as he waved his hand again.
Many more white pearls shot out, blocking in front of Chen Heng.
The chaotic stream persisted for a long time, and after sacrificing ten or so magic tools, Chen Heng was able to survive.
However, despite this, Chen Heng was not able to relax yet, as the danger was not yet over.
As expected, soon, that familiar feeling reappeared.
Magic tools once again rushed out and were continuously destroyed.
It had to be said that Chen Heng had made great preparations for this trip, bringing almost all of his magic tools. Anyone would feel dumbfounded at his wealth and extravagance.
However, facing this unending chaotic stream, his magic tools were bound to run out sooner or later.
Chen Heng had made mental preparations.
After who knew how long, Chen Heng had used up his magic tools, and he had to use his True Lord body to withstand the chaotic stream.
Wounds started to appear on his body, and blood began to flow out. His aura gradually became weaker, and it seemed that if things went on like this, he would not be able to last for long.
However, Chen Heng was calm and did not feel much.
This was just a test, and if he succeeded, that would naturally be quite good. Even if he failed, it would not be a big deal.
After all, everything he had done in the Eastern Continent was already enough to make back the Points he had spent on this simulation. Even if he died here, he would not be suffering a loss.
Time gradually passed.
The chaotic streams turned into sharp blades and wildly slashed at Chen Heng's body.
Chen Heng did not know how long he had endured for, and under the continued assaults, his consciousness began to become hazy as his body reached its limit.
Perhaps it was because his luck was quite good, but just as his body and soul were about to collapse, he saw some light ahead.
The teleportation was over.
A formless energy covered everything and sent Chen Heng's body out.
...........
In the next moment, he fell unconscious.
...
Boom!
In a desolate and remote area, loud sounds could be heard.
In front of a small creek, hearing those sounds, a young man quickly turned and looked towards the sky.
"What was that?"
He held a crude-looking net and seemed to be catching fish. He looked into the distance, a look of confusion on his face.
In the distance, a strange scene appeared in the sky.
In the air, golden light spread out and there seemed to be a massive storm as the spirit qi in the surrounding dozens of kilometers was drawn over.
Such a grand and strange scene caused the young man to be completely dumbfounded, not knowing what was going on.
Soon, he found something strange.
In the distance, there seemed to be a person slamming towards the ground.
"A person?"
Seeing this, the young man stared for a moment, feeling quite confused.
"An opportunity?" He looked at the crude net in his hands and grit his teeth before leaving the net behind and rushing into the distance.
Even though he did not know the origin of those signs, he knew that this could be an opportunity. If he missed this opportunity, who knew when the next one would come?
He walked for a long time before finally coming to another creek.
By now, the originally clear creek had been dyed red with blood.
All around, there were sounds of wild beasts being attracted over by the blood.
If he stayed here, there might be danger.
Thinking about that, the young man gritted his teeth but did not give up, resolutely advancing to search for that person.
After transmigrating to this world for ten or so years, he wanted to cultivate and save his mother, but he was useless. He most likely would never be able to cultivate and could only live a harsh life in these desolate lands.
This might be his only opportunity to turn his life around; he could not let it go.
Given how massive those signs were, they were most likely caused by a powerful cultivator. Perhaps he had the power to help him escape this crappy body and truly step onto the path of cultivation.
He thought to himself and gritted his teeth and continued onwards.
In a place that ordinary people could not see, a violet light flashed.
Above the young man's head, there was a dense golden light that contained a bit of violet. It looked incredibly noble and holy.
This was the young man's Fortune; before, it had been dormant, but it seemed to have sensed something and seemed to awaken.
A bit of formless Fortune energy spread out, and it seemed to guide him forwards to the right place.
Sounds of wild beasts' roars could be heard for a long time, but in the end, for some reason, no wild beasts appeared.
The young man felt a bit confused but did not think too much of it.
Right now, he only had one thing on his mind, which was to make his way forwards and find any possible opportunities.
Soon, he found the source of the blood.
Next to the creek, there was a figure silently lying there covered with blood.
He was wearing a white robe that had been completely stained by blood.
"I found him!" Seeing this person, a look of delight appeared on the young man's face.
He did not hesitate to go up and carefully put that person on his back before quickly leaving this place.
Before he picked up that person, he had a look at him.
This young man had good looks but his face was incredibly pale and had no color to it.
Right now, he was completely still and unmoving.
Looking at how wretched that person looked, if not for the fact that that person was still breathing, the young man would have thought that he had died already.
After putting that person on his back, the young man quickly left.
Even though he looked quite skinny, he was actually quite strong; his weak-looking body actually contained great strength that ordinary people could not rival.
Even though he was carrying a person, he was able to move quite quickly.
A while after he left, some noises came from the surroundings.
Some people saw the blood from downstream and hurried over. Seeing the traces here, they knew that they could not find the person who had fallen down.
In response, many people sighed with regret.
The people in this desolate region were all in exile.
They were either cultivators in the past or descendants of exiled cultivators.
The knowledge that these people possessed far exceeded those of ordinary people.
They had all seen those signs in the sky; someone had fallen from the sky and landed on the ground.
As such, many people had quickly hurried over, wanting to obtain an opportunity.
However, someone had arrived here before them.
Elsewhere, the young man walked quickly but cautiously.
He especially chose to walk on small paths, afraid that he would be seen by others.
Those signs in the sky had been incredibly evident, and as long as the people in the surroundings were not blind, there would also be many people hurrying over.
If he was not careful, the person on his back might be snatched away by someone else.
As such, he was incredibly cautious and avoided people to the best of his ability.
This way, he was able to successfully return to his residence.
After returning to the residence, hearing the young man's footsteps, a young girl ran out, looking somewhat afraid.
Seeing the young man and the bloodied person on his back, she immediately looked terrified.
"Big brother!" she cried out as she looked at the person on his back.
"Yi Yi, go and prepare some hot water," the young man said as he shook his head.
Hearing this, the young girl was a bit afraid, but she still nodded and obediently went to do so.
Soon, some water had been heated.
The young man had the young girl go out and carefully picked up a towel to wipe away that person's blood.
During this process, he felt incredibly alarmed.
He had not noticed before, but only now did he realize how bad this person's wounds were.
He had no idea what had caused those injuries, but they were so deep that they reached his organs.
And yet, this person was still alive. Just this resilient lifeforce was to be amazed at.
However, the young man was not too surprised; the signs from before was evidence of how special this person was.
Based on his guesses, this person was most likely a powerful cultivator; it was not that surprising for him to be quite special.
