Chapter 2221: Returning to the Upper Firmament

Before long, a special gravitational force appeared on the Great Emperor Seal, like a signpost, summoning people.

“Between the Divine Realm and the Upper Firmament, there exist spatial turbulence. So the Upper Firmament sacrifice is not a teleportation but a way to determine coordinates, so that one does not get lost…”

Zhang Xuan suddenly understood.

He had thought that through the other party’s sacrifice, they could use special power to be directly teleported to the Upper Firmament. Now it seemed not so easy.

Cross-domain teleportation was impossible even for the Great Emperor Seal of the Spirit Source Heaven.

“Having coordinates is fine; at least we won’t be trapped in the turbulence forever…”

Relieved, Zhang Xuan once again let his sword intent howl, piercing a hole in the realm barrier, while enveloping the two people and the chicken within it. With a gentle step, he drilled inside.

The chaotic space flowed incessantly, striking the light shield and stirring up radiance.

Zhang Xuan felt his internal true qi deplete rapidly. He tried to accelerate toward the coordinate point but found it almost impossible to move.

Spatial turbulence, like a whirlpool of water, had forces in all directions in a chaotic state. Moving in a single direction was difficult even for a Sovereign, let alone a mere God King.

If not for possessing true qi that surpassed the Heavenly Dao, let alone moving forward, he would have been torn to shreds upon entering, with even his soul unable to survive.

“I’ve been through this place before. Tell me the direction, and I’ll take you there…” Luo Qiqi said.

“Alright!” Knowing the girl’s abilities, Zhang Xuan did not refuse and explained in detail the direction indicated by the Great Emperor Seal.

The girl stepped forward, her delicate body flickered again, and she transformed back into the Still Void Pearl. With a “whoosh,” it broke through space and rushed out.

“What level of treasure is the Still Void Pearl?”

Following closely behind, seeing that even the spatial turbulence was stabilized, opening a stable passage, Zhang Xuan couldn’t help but feel curious.

Whether in the Divine Realm or spatial turbulence, as long as it involved space, this pearl could easily suppress it and make it stable. This ability was something even some Sovereigns might not achieve!

He really didn’t know the origin of Luo Qiqi’s true form. No wonder she could enter the Divine Realm and reach the peak of God King in just over a month without any cultivation barriers.

It seemed bringing her along was the right choice. Otherwise, even if he had reached the God King level now, with the “Wind Never Ceases” sword technique able to resist spatial turbulence and gray currents, entering the Upper Firmament would still be impossible!

In the spatial turbulence, time was indistinguishable. After flying for an unknown duration, the Still Void Pearl stopped and transformed back into the girl: “We’re here…”

Zhang Xuan sensed and indeed found that the coordinate point transmitted by the Upper Firmament altar was right before him.

“Let’s go in…” Nodding, he was about to charge in when he noticed that the entire world before him was shaking incessantly, as if about to shatter.

“The space of the Upper Firmament is too fragile, like ice on a lake in early winter. A child can step on it without issue, but an adult standing on it cannot bear the weight… We are both at the God King level, far exceeding the current Heavenly Dao. If we force our way in, we might cause the Heavenly Dao to collapse, ultimately leading to the suffering of all living beings…”

Luo Qiqi said.

“It seems we can only suppress our cultivation…” Zhang Xuan nodded.

Back when he reached the Deity level, he had felt the Upper Firmament’s Heavenly Dao rejecting him. Now that he had reached the God King realm, with strength tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of times greater than before, he was naturally even less accepted.

Forcing entry would indeed cause its Heavenly Dao to collapse directly.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xuan retracted all his power into his dantian.

Crack! Crack!

His cultivation visibly decreased.

In the blink of an eye, he reached the Pseudo Deity level.

Not only his true qi, but even the power of his flesh and soul was suppressed. At this moment, aside from his understanding of power being that of a God King, he was identical to an ordinary Pseudo Deity in every respect, and even a Sovereign could not detect anything unusual.

Seeing him suppress his cultivation, Luo Qiqi acted quickly, using spatial power to completely seal her own cultivation, also becoming a Pseudo Deity.

As for the little yellow chicken, after hesitating for a while, it looked over: “Better give me the gourd…”

Previously, it had been sealed in the gourd. After breaking out, the gourd had been kept by Zhang Xuan.

“Alright!”

Handing the gourd to the other party, the yellow chicken gently shook, entered it, and transformed back into a gourd. Its cultivation was similarly suppressed, no longer detectable.

Preparations complete, Zhang Xuan said no more. The two people and the gourd stepped into the coordinate point before them.

Sizzle!

A tremendous spatial pressure suddenly assaulted them, followed by countless heavenly thunders rolling down.

It seemed that even though they had suppressed their cultivation, the Upper Firmament’s Heavenly Dao detected the entry of outsiders and launched an attack.

The two people and the chicken all suffered considerable injuries under the continuous assault before finally withstanding the thunder.

Only then did they find themselves above a vast sea. Du Qingyuan and Wu Chen were floating pale-faced above the sea surface, and not far away, an altar emitted a faint glow.

Looking around, it was exactly the Uninhabited Sea where Luo Ruoxi had descended.

The divine blood shed from their injuries dripped into the sea, forming countless divine blood stones, some of which were swallowed by bold immortal beasts, allowing them to break through to Pseudo Deity.

Seeing this, Zhang Xuan finally understood why a Sovereign-level powerhouse like Luo Ruoxi would also be injured when entering the Upper Firmament.

To avoid shattering the Heavenly Dao here, one could only suppress cultivation. But with reduced cultivation, it was difficult to withstand this series of calamities.

“Greetings, Young Master!”

“Greetings, Teacher Zhang!”

Du Qingyuan and Wu Chen approached.

They had received news that the Spirit God was descending, but it turned out to be this person.

When did he become the Spirit God?

“Let’s go!”

Too lazy to explain or say more, he led the group and broke through the air, returning to the Star Tracking Palace in the blink of an eye.

Although his cultivation was only at the Pseudo Deity level, his insight remained, allowing him to easily shatter space and teleport.

“It has developed quickly…”

Hovering above the Star Tracking Palace, Zhang Xuan looked around and saw cultivators everywhere, each as vigorous as a tiger. He nodded in satisfaction.

“In the past ten years, those who have broken through to Pseudo Deity in the Upper Firmament have exceeded thirty, those at the Immortal Lord level have exceeded two hundred, and other levels are countless…” Du Qingyuan said.

Although only a little over a month had passed in the Divine Realm, a full ten years had passed in the Upper Firmament.

Under normal circumstances, ten years was nothing, but after Zhang Xuan defeated Teacher Kong, the countless resources of the Tongtian Hall were reorganized, and the hall had no deity guarding it. Pseudo Deities and Immortal Lords sprang up like bamboo shoots after rain, increasing rapidly.

In just ten years, more experts appeared than in the previous four thousand years.

Nodding, Zhang Xuan extended his spirit sense throughout the Star Tracking Palace. After a moment, he suddenly paused: “Are those Yu Fei’er and Hu Yaoyao?”

Two graceful figures appeared in his sight, exactly the Yu Fei’er and Hu Yaoyao he had met in the Master Teacher Continent.
