Tian Chanzi had never forgotten about the Stairway to Heaven. He looked at Tang Zheng and said, "You've been looking for Dark Stones of Heaven and Earth. How many have you collected so far?"
"More than sixty pieces." Tang Zheng did not want to lie to Tian Chanzi, so he told the truth.
Tian Chanzi looked excited and said, "Where did you collect so many Dark Stones of Heaven and Earth?"
"The South Sea."
Tian Chanzi nodded slightly, "I didn't expect that there would be so many Dark Stones of Heaven and Earth hidden in the sea. If we can find the remaining Dark Stones of Heaven and Earth, then the day of rebuilding the Stairway to Heaven will be just around the corner."
Tang Zheng did not tell him the whole truth. If Tian Chanzi knew that there were Dark Stones of Heaven and Earth under the Imperial Palace, he would definitely rush back without stopping.
However, he was still one step away from the Soul Formation stage. The Empyrean Fairy was not willing to help. Even if she knew, she could only sigh and feel powerless, which would only increase her worries.
"I've always heard about the Outer Sky, but I've never really been there. If there's a chance, I want to go there." The Empyrean Fairy suddenly said.
When Tang Zheng heard this, he had the impulse to immediately let her release the Five Clawed Golden Dragon. Then, he could take out the Dark Stones of Heaven and Earth, rebuild the Stairway to Heaven and go to the Outer Sky.
But in the end, he held back and said, "The Outer Sky is definitely not a very good place. The Hundred Faces Star Lord has sent many people to explore the Outer Sky in ancient times, but none of them returned. You can imagine how dangerous the Outer Sky is. Besides, if the Outer Sky is really so good, the Demon Race would not have tried to return to our world. "
The Empyrean Fairy looked at Tang Zheng in a daze. After thinking for a while, she nodded, "That makes sense."
"Tang Zheng, you're quite smart. The Hundred Faces Star Lord is not wrong. In the past, many people were sent to the Stairway to Heaven, but there was no news of them." Chi You suddenly said.
Tang Zheng then remembered that Chi You was one of the people involved in that year. He hurriedly asked, "Is there any special information about the Realm Beyond Heaven?"
"You already know that there are big and small worlds in this world. I reckon that Beyond Heaven is another world, and the situation within it is completely unpredictable. With your current strength, trying to force your way into the Outer Sky is not a wise decision, "Chi You warned.
Tang Zheng inwardly agreed. He was even more determined not to take out the Heaven and Earth Obsidian under the Imperial City for the time being.
The group climbed up the snow-capped mountain road. The cold wind whistled. The outside world was in the middle of a scorching summer, but here, it was a world of ice and snow, like the twelfth lunar month.
Mount Buzhou was still enveloped by the enchantment and isolated from the outside world. Tang Zheng was familiar with the process and easily broke through the enchantment.
Behind the enchantment was another world.
The spring breeze was as warm as spring, and the flowers, birds, grass, and insects were full of vitality.
Back then, the Hundred Transformations Star Sovereign lived in this barrier, but this barrier could not stop him. He could come and go as he pleased.
The Empyrean Fairy looked at this world and clicked her tongue in admiration. "Mount Buzhou is really magical. There are so many sights."
"Master, doesn't this look like the paradise described in the books? The scenery is so beautiful. "Ling 'er said with her eyes wide open.
Tang Zheng laughed involuntarily. "This is not a paradise. Hundred Transformations Star Sovereign used to live here. It was very dangerous."
Ling 'er pursed her lips and said, "It's such a pity that such a bad person lived here."
"But he definitely doesn't live here now." Tang Zheng said that Hundred Transformations Star Sovereign was imprisoned here for tens of thousands of years. Once he escaped, he would definitely not be willing to step foot here again.
"In the future, we will live in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. We can also come here occasionally to play." Ling 'er looked forward to it.
After a while, they arrived at the small wooden house where Hundred Transformations Star Sovereign used to live. However, it had become a pile of ruins and was no longer peaceful.
Back then, the furthest Tang Zheng's group had come was here. Later on, they were chased by Hundred Transformations Star Sovereign and had no time to explore the other places of Mount Buzhou.
Tang Zheng gave a simple introduction. The Empyrean Fairy nodded secretly and said, "Then let's continue forward. We haven't reached the peak yet."
Tang Zheng was moved. He also wanted to explore the peak and gladly accepted. The group continued forward.
The scenery along the way became more and more beautiful. It was truly a scene of paradise.
Suddenly, a thick fog shrouded the front, blocking everyone's path.
"This fog is strange." The Empyrean Fairy frowned.
"Amazing, you can see it with a single glance." Tang Zheng praised. He walked straight to the fog and waved his hand. The fog also surged as if it was alive.
"This is … a formation?" Tian Chanzi asked hesitantly.
"After the Stairway to Heaven was destroyed, the peak was sealed by a formation. Normal people can't reach it. This is what Chi You told me." Tang Zheng explained. The method to break the formation was naturally from Chi You.
As soon as he finished speaking, the fog was pushed aside and retreated to the sides. A strong wind blew, causing them to sway and almost lose their balance.
"Everyone be careful. This peak is not simple. It's very dangerous." Tang Zheng warned. He held Ling'er's hand and said, "Ling'er, follow me."
Ling'er smiled sweetly. She held Tang Zheng's hand tightly and followed him obediently.
The strong wind was biting cold. The aura of heaven and earth had become very chaotic. It was completely different from the previous fragrance of flowers and birds. It was as if they had entered another world.
This Mount Buzhou was really strange. The foot of the mountain, the middle of the mountain, and the peak were three completely different scenes. It was like three different worlds.
If a normal person came to the peak, they would have been blown away by the strong wind and fallen off the cliff to their death.
They didn't walk very far before they found that the path beneath their feet had become dangerous. There were cliffs on both sides. There was only a straight path in the middle. The path went straight up and stopped abruptly after a few dozen meters.
"We've reached the peak!" Tang Zheng said.
Although Chi You had described this scene to him before, he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.
Tang Zheng had been to Sky Mountain before, but Mount Buzhou seemed to be closer to the sky. They were only one step away from reaching the sky.
It was really within reach.
The few of them stared at the end of the path. The Empyrean Fairy said, "Is that where the Stairway to Heaven broke?"
"Yes. If we follow that path to rebuild the Stairway to Heaven, we can reach the Sky Beyond Heaven." Tang Zheng pointed to the end of the path and said.
Ling'er looked at the sky blankly and asked, "Ling'er has also been on a plane. It's higher than here. Why didn't I see the Sky Beyond Heaven?"
The Empyrean Fairy looked deeply at her and said, "The Sky Beyond Heaven isn't really in the sky. It's another world. The Stairway to Heaven is the key to opening that other world. I'm guessing that there's a formation in the Stairway to Heaven or something like that that can trigger the passage to the Sky Beyond Heaven. It doesn't mean that one can only go to the Sky Beyond Heaven by ascending to the Sky Beyond Heaven. "
Ling'er didn't fully understand and looked blankly at Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng, on the other hand, understood. He was deeply impressed and said, "You are right. The Heaven Stairway is the key and door to the Sky Beyond Heaven. As for why it has such an effect, even Chi You is not clear about it."
"How did the Stairway to Heaven come about?"
Tang Zheng had already asked Chi You this question and answered, "The Stairway to Heaven was accidentally discovered by someone. As for its origin, no one knows."
Well, it seemed that the Stairway to Heaven was as mysterious as the Sky Beyond Heaven. If they wanted to solve all of this, they would have to rebuild the Stairway to Heaven.
The Empyrean Fairy and Tian Chanzi looked at the mountain peak in front of them with burning eyes. It was as if they were imagining the scene after the Stairway to Heaven was rebuilt.
Tian Chanzi waved his fist and said, "No matter how dangerous the Sky Beyond Heaven is, as long as I'm alive, I will definitely explore it."
Tang Zheng looked deeply at him. Tang Zheng was also curious about the Sky Beyond Heaven, but he wasn't that interested at the moment.
The Empyrean Fairy seemed to be a little unwilling and leaped into the air. Like a dancing butterfly, she flew straight up into the sky.
The astral wind in front of her became more and more biting cold. It blew her hair up and her body swayed along with it.
Suddenly, her body became sluggish and stopped helplessly. Then, as if she had received a huge recoil, she had no choice but to retreat. She staggered to the ground and almost fell off the mountain peak.
Whoosh!
She took a deep breath and said, "There's something strange up ahead."
"What's strange?" The others asked curiously.
"The aura between heaven and earth is completely chaotic. The astral wind is very overbearing and there's a mysterious force that's preventing me from moving forward and pushing me back." The Empyrean Fairy said with a dignified expression.
The others' expressions changed and said, "Is it really that strange?"
Looking at the Empyrean Fairy's expression, it was obvious that all of this was true. This place was connected to the Sky Beyond Heaven and was indeed not an ordinary place.
"This is the place where two worlds are connected. Everything can't be judged by common sense. This is our world, but it also has some of the attributes of the Sky Beyond Heaven. Moreover, this astral wind is very strange. Look at the direction of the wind and it seems to be blowing from the sky. I suspect that it's directly blown from the Sky Beyond Heaven." The Empyrean Fairy said with deep feelings.
Tian Chanzi looked deeply at the sky and said resolutely, "I'll go up and take a look too."
Whoosh!
He leaped into the air, but before he could reach the place where the Empyrean Fairy was, he was blown away by the astral wind and directly fell back in shock.
"I agree with your judgment. This astral wind is indeed strange. It's very likely that it's blown from the Sky Beyond Heaven." Tian Chanzi agreed.
Tang Zheng frowned and pondered. Suddenly, he had an idea and said, "Since this is the place where two worlds are connected, if there's no stairway to heaven, can we rush through here and reach the Sky Beyond Heaven?"
The Empyrean Fairy and Tian Chanzi looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time. They smiled bitterly and said, "We can't. Why don't you give it a try? "
"Your cultivations are so much higher than mine. If you can't do it, it's even more impossible for me." Tang Zheng shook his head helplessly. This was whimsical. How could it be so easy?
If it was really that easy, after the stairway to heaven was destroyed, there would be no one who could reach the Sky Beyond Heaven from here.
"Master, you should give it a try. If they can't do it, it doesn't mean that you can't." Ling 'er encouraged. In her eyes, Tang Zheng seemed to be omnipotent.
Squeak squeak!
Little White also nodded in agreement at the side.
Tang Zheng was moved by their words and changed his mind.
