The black whale roared angrily, but Xiao Chen and Tian Yue could no longer hear it. At the same time, the stone door slowly closed. After a long while, the black whale vented its anger and sank into the ground again. The whole world became silent again.
After successfully escaping from death and entering the Fifth Heaven, Xiao Chen's injuries were very serious. After taking a direct hit from the black whale, it was fortunate that Xiao Chen's physical strength was strong. If it was someone else, they would have died on the spot.
If that blow had hit Tian Yue, she would not have just been seriously injured. If she had not died, she would have been crippled. After all, although Tian Yue was strong, in terms of defense and physical strength, she was far inferior to Xiao Chen.
Tian Yue did not care about the propriety between men and women. She hugged Xiao Chen and let his head rest on her legs. She called out with a worried face. "Xiao Chen, hey, wake up."
Xiao Chen's eyes were slightly closed. Tian Yue was so anxious that she kept shaking Xiao Chen's body, trying to wake him up. Amidst Tian Yue's sobbing shouts and continuous shaking, Xiao Chen finally opened his eyes slowly. A forced smile appeared on his face as he spoke.
"Hey, stop shaking me. If you continue to shake me, I will really faint."
In the face of Tian Yue's worry and anxious appearance, Xiao Chen was touched. Hence, he made a rare joke to tease Tian Yue. However, in the face of Xiao Chen's joke, Tian Yue rolled her eyes and said snappily.
"You still have the mood to joke at a time like this?"
As she spoke, Tian Yue took out an elixir from her storage ring and personally fed it to Xiao Chen. As soon as the elixir entered Xiao Chen's stomach, a pure medicinal power spread throughout his body.
The elixir that Tian Yue took out was not an ordinary elixir. It was a healing elixir that had reached the Saint level and was very valuable.
With the help of this pill, Xiao Chen's complexion gradually relaxed, and a trace of color slowly returned to his face.
He did not recklessly attempt the Fifth Heaven. Xiao Chen's current condition was not good and he was seriously injured. Under such circumstances, it would be extremely irrational to act rashly.
After finding a relatively safe place, Xiao Chen began to heal himself while Tianyue stayed close to him to protect and take care of Xiao Chen.
Perhaps even Tian Yue herself had never thought that one day, she would take care of a person like this, moreover, it was a man.
Tian Yue's attentiveness was like that of a virtuous wife. Xiao Chen was also happy to enjoy this. Thinking about it, in the entire Northern Star Realm, other than himself, who else could make the first saintess of the Nine Heavens, Tian Yue, take care of him so gently? Moreover, she never left his side.
Under Tian Yue's careful care, Xiao Chen's body rapidly recovered. At the same time, in the Sacred Palace of the distant Heavenly Chen Continent, the Nine Heavens Saint, the two Saints sent by the Nine Heavens Saint, and Saint Zi Yu finally arrived.
The three of them represented the Nine Heavens Saint to confirm the alliance. Of course, the specific negotiations would definitely require the quasi-saints from both sides to meet in person. However, now was not the time because Chen Ling and Long Qing had not sent back any news. They could only wait for the Supreme God Sect and Liwang Sect to make a decision before the quasi-saints from both sides could meet.
Therefore, Xiao Sheng and the others did not show up when Zi Yu and the others arrived. They only let the Nine Heavens Saint and the others be in charge of receiving them and serving them with good food and drinks while waiting for news from the Supreme God Sect and Liwang Sect.
They did not place much importance on them, but they did not look down on them either. However, with the return of the Nine Heavens Saint and the others, Qin Shuirou and the others learned that Xiao Chen had entered the Above Heavens Saint.
At this moment, the Nine Heavens Saint personally came to Xiao Chen's cave residence and told the three women the truth about the Nine Heavens Palace. Hearing this, the three women's expressions changed slightly. Qin Shuirou said coldly.
"Why didn't you stop him? Don't you know how dangerous the Above Heavens Saint is? "
Perhaps because of the worry in his heart, Qin Shuirou's attitude became somewhat cold. Fortunately, the Nine Heavens Saint did not care about this and only shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Don't you know Chen 'er's personality? Who can persuade him when he has decided on something?"
The Nine Heavens Saint's words were not false. Hearing this, Hundred Flower Fairy comforted, "Shuirou, you can't blame the Saint for this. It's not like you don't know our husband's temper."
"But … but that day in the heavens …" Qin ShuiRou said worriedly. "But … but that day in the heavens …"
The Above Heavens Saint was too dangerous. Moreover, Xiao Chen did not say anything and directly entered the Above Heavens Saint. How could Qin Shuirou and the others not be worried?
However, Xiao Chen had already entered the Above Heavens Saint. Even if the three women were worried, there was nothing they could do. The only thing they could do was pray that Xiao Chen would return safely.
They did not tell Bai Ruyue and Xiao Qing about this matter. The three women were afraid that the two elders would be worried, so they chose to hide it.
Unaware that the three women were currently worried about him, Xiao Chen recuperated in the Above Heavens Saint for a few days. His injuries were completely healed, and the two of them continued to advance.
They had already arrived at the Fifth Layer of Heaven. With the cooperation of Xiao Chen and Tian Yue, the two of them were able to break through like a hot knife through butter. Half a month later, the two of them finally arrived at the stone gate of the Eighth Layer of Heaven.
As long as they passed this gate, they would be able to enter the Ninth Layer of Heaven. This was the final test of the Above Heavens Saint.
"Just one more step." Looking at the stone gate of the Eighth Layer of Heaven, Xiao Chen said softly.
"Yes, just one more step." Tian Yue smiled and nodded in agreement.
Then, Xiao Chen pushed open the stone gate, and the two of them strode in.
Xiao Chen had no idea what the test of the Ninth Layer of Heaven was. After a moment of dizziness, Xiao Chen arrived at the final Ninth Layer of Heaven. However, what surprised him was that the Ninth Layer of Heaven was actually a city.
That's right, it was a city. And Xiao Chen was currently in this city. There were people coming and going, and the cries of various vendors gave off an extremely lively and prosperous feeling.
"This is …" After looking around, Xiao Chen discovered that this city was no different from an ordinary city. Moreover, there were people of various races in the city.
Could it be that there are still people living in the Above Heavens Saint? If this city was real, it meant that the people in the city had been living in the Above Heavens Saint for a long time. At the very least, they had existed since ancient times.
He didn't expect that the Ninth Layer of Heaven would actually be like this. After some doubts, Xiao Chen quickly discovered that something was amiss. And this was because of his own condition.
"Eh? My cultivation has disappeared?" Inadvertently, Xiao Chen discovered that his cultivation had actually disappeared completely. There wasn't even a trace of spiritual energy in his body.
