Zhang Xuan was shocked.
When Wu Chen was taken away by Palace Master Du back then, he was only at Ancient Sage 3-dan pinnacle, still some way off from reaching Ancient Sage 4-dan. Who could have thought that not too long after he arrived, not only would he regain his body, he would even be able to advance his cultivation to Semi-Divinity realm!
It seemed like this Palace Master Du wasn't just trying to brush him off. She had really agreed to his request and even went to the extreme!
"Have you been following behind Palace Master Du all this while?"
Zhang Xuan asked.
Due to the difference in the flow of time between the two worlds, the other party had not arrived in the Azure much earlier than him.
"Yes!" Wu Chen suppressed his aura once more. From afar, he still looked like an ordinary child. "A few days ago, Palace Master Du heard that Young Master had become the new pavilion master of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, so she brought me over to look for him."
"You went to look for me?"
Zhang Xuan was stunned.
Wu Chen explained in detail what had happened.
After hearing this, Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly.
Back then, he had no idea that Du Qingyuan was the "god" that Wu Chen had summoned. Naturally, he couldn't have waited in the same place all the time.
Zhang Xuan asked, "Since you've always been by Palace Master Du's side, do you know … any news about Lozosy?"
If there was anyone in the High Heavens who knew Lozosy the best, it was definitely this person in front of him.
Back on the Master Teacher Continent, he had been the one who had summoned Lozosy to the Master Teacher Continent.
"Young Miss … has already returned to the God Realm!" After pondering for a moment, Wu Chen said, "She's a Spiritual Deity of the God Realm. Since she obtained what she wanted, she naturally has to return to her original world!"
"Based on what I know, she was injured when she came to the Azure …"
"The barrier between the Firmament, the Azure, and the Master Teacher Continent is extremely resilient. Even as the Spirit God, she won't be able to break through the barrier and descend freely. She can only rely on the rituals of the Lower Worlds to summon her!"
Wu Chen explained. "Back then, Palace Master Du and I, one of whom was in the Azure while the other was on the Master Teacher Continent, summoned her together. However, the spatial barrier was simply too powerful, so she ended up sustaining severe injuries. The God Blood that allowed me to advance was from her! "
Zhang Xuan was silent.
Back then, when Shark One had explained to him the details of the descent of the gods, he had already guessed that this was a possibility. However, he still couldn't help but feel some heartache when he heard those words.
"Do you know why she went to the Master Teacher Continent?"
Given his current strength, it was already impossible for him to return to the Master Teacher Continent, let alone traversing through two Dimension Barriers consecutively!
It was easy to imagine how difficult it would be.
She couldn't have spent so much effort and suffered such serious injuries just to see him and fall in love with him!
"It's probably because of the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn!" Wu Chen said.
"The Great Codex of Spring and Autumn might be powerful, but it shouldn't mean much to a Spirit God …" Zhang Xuan frowned.
He had seen the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn with his own eyes, and it was indeed a top-notch treasure back on the Master Teacher Continent. However, even if it was not a top-notch treasure in the Azure, let alone the Firmament!
Lozosy's strength was evident from the fact that she was able to travel between two great realms and was only severely injured instead of dying. For a treasure that could not be considered extremely powerful …
He just couldn't figure it out.
"I'm not too sure about the details, but I did ask the Young Mistress once, and she said that there's a very powerful enemy that she wants to deal with. She needs this treasure in order to gain a deeper understanding of that enemy!"
Wu Chen pondered for a moment before replying.
Zhang Xuan frowned.
The Great Codex of Spring and Autumn was related to the laws of space and time. Could it be that Lozosy's enemy was skilled in the laws of space and time?
"I'm not qualified to know about the secrets of the Spirit God."
Wu Chen said.
"Then, do you know how I can contact Lozosy?"
"Palace Master Du can make use of the altar unique to Starchaser Palace to offer sacrifices to the Firmament and communicate with it. However, it requires a lot of sacrificial items. Of course, I'm not too sure if I'll be able to contact the Young Mistress," Wu Chen said.
"Sacrificial items? Altar?" Zhang Xuan's eyes glinted.
He had been wondering why the Hall of Gods would want to snatch the altar of Starchaser Palace, even going as far as to go to the extent of falling out with them. It turned out that it was related to communicating with the Firmament!
The Forsaken Continent had been abandoned by the gods.
The reason why the Hall of Gods was located here was to prevent the people here from communicating with the Firmament.
It was one thing for the Hall of Gods to send a message, but to summon the gods directly, that was a taboo. Perhaps, it was for this reason that the Hall of Gods was so unscrupulous.
It seemed like he would have to find the missing Palace Master Du and the altar as soon as possible!
"Right … Is it possible for the Hall of Gods to communicate with the Firmament?" Zhang Xuan asked.
Since the Hall of Gods was located here, it might be possible for the Hall of Gods to communicate with the Firmament or even enter the Firmament directly!
Wu Chen shook his head.
The Hall of Gods was an extremely secretive organization. Other than the opening of the Azure Bridge once every hundred years, it would usually ignore the Six Sects.
For this reason, even though Starchaser Palace had been around for several thousand years, it still didn't know much about the Hall of Gods.
It was the same for the other sects as well.
Zhang Xuan asked a few more questions, but Wu Chen didn't know much about the Forsaken Continent either.
"Follow behind me. The Azure Bridge is about to open. Most likely, you'll be able to find the answer to anything you wish to know here!"
Just like Zhang Xuan, Wu Chen was also clueless about Lozosy's identity and standing in the Firmament. Zhang Xuan decided not to ask any more questions.
The Hall of Gods had been looking for an opportunity to capture him all this while, but no matter what their motive was, it was inevitable that they would reveal their true colors at this moment.
Otherwise, once he achieved a breakthrough to Semi-Divinity realm, putting aside the Hall of Gods, even the heavens wouldn't be able to hold him back!
At that time, it wouldn't be the other way around. He would be the one to make trouble for the Hall of Gods!
Understanding the importance of strength, Zhang Xuan immersed his consciousness into the Library of Heaven's Path and began making deductions based on the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn.
Half a day later, the three geniuses from the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, the Seven Star Pavilion, and the Myriad Beasts Hall finally arrived.
They were all Heavenly High Immortals, and their ages didn't exceed a hundred years.
Elder Hong Wu from the Seven Star Pavilion was among them.
"Sect Leader Zhang, may I help you?"
Other than Elder Hong Wu, the other two geniuses looked at the young man before them with peculiar looks on their faces.
Even though they knew that the young man before them was the head of the four sects, they still couldn't help but feel a little indignant.
"I'll give you ten breaths' worth of time. Be it through teamwork or some other means, as long as you can make me take half a step back, it means that you stand a chance of defeating the warriors of the Hall of Gods on the Azure Bridge!"
Zhang Xuan said with his hands behind his back.
"Take half a step back?"
"Are you for real?"
The eyes of the three geniuses lit up.
Given that they were all of the same cultivation realm, it shouldn't be too difficult for the three of them to make him take half a step back within ten breaths' worth of time.
"That's right."
Zhang Xuan nodded. "However, if you can't make me take half a step back or even withstand a single blow from me, you'll have to cultivate as I command before the Azure Bridge opens. There's no reason for you to turn me down!"
Just like him, the three geniuses before him were qualified to enter the Azure Bridge. He didn't want to be too weak and end up dragging him down instead.
There was only one way to make them obey his orders, and that was to beat them into submission!
Only then would the other party willingly listen to his orders and follow his arrangements, so as to avoid any slip-ups.
"Don't worry. If even the three of us aren't a match for you, we'll follow your orders without any hesitation!"
They had a chance to become the next sect leader of the Hall of Gods, but this opportunity had fallen into the hands of that young man instead. No matter who it was, they couldn't help but feel frustrated.
Boom!
Right after saying those words, the three of them made a move simultaneously. Elder Hong Wu swiftly executed his strongest battle technique.
The genius from the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion also executed his strongest swordsmanship right from the start.
As for the genius from the Myriad Beasts Hall, he also summoned his tamed beasts. They were actually two Heavenly High Immortal-tier twin Black Tiger Beasts!
Standing on the spot, Zhang Xuan chuckled softly.
The fighting prowess of these three geniuses was indeed above average among Heavenly High Immortals, but they were still far from matching up to the warriors of the Hall of Gods.
He had already killed many of the warriors of the Hall of Gods, so how could they possibly stand a chance against him?
Without drawing his sword, Zhang Xuan opened his palm and flicked it lightly. It was as if the three of them had been plunged into a boundless desert, unable to escape.
The next moment, he pressed down lightly.
Padah!
Their swords fell to the ground, their battle techniques crumbled, and the two immortal beasts whimpered … The three geniuses collapsed to the ground, unable to put up any resistance at all.
"He's actually that powerful?"
The three of them couldn't believe their eyes.
They had thought that even if their new sect leader was slightly stronger than them, it wouldn't be by much. However, after exchanging blows with him, they realized just how frightening the other party was.
Even the previous Semi-Divinity realm sect leader of the Hall of Gods wouldn't have been a match for him!
"Are you willing to admit defeat?"
After defeating the three of them with a single move, Zhang Xuan chuckled softly.
"We'll admit defeat!"
The arrogance of the three geniuses was replaced by admiration.
"This is a cultivation technique that I created specifically for the three of you. Cultivate according to this cultivation technique, and you should be able to raise your fighting prowess significantly within three days. If there's anything that you don't understand, feel free to ask me."
Flicking his wrist, Zhang Xuan took out three jade tokens and sent a sliver of his will into them.
The three of them took the jade tokens doubtfully, and after reading the content, they were so shocked that they were rendered speechless.
"Go!"
Paying no heed to their agitation, Zhang Xuan continued immersing himself in the books on how to reach Semi-Divinity realm.
In the history of the Azure, there had been countless experts who had attempted to reach Semi-Divinity realm, and they had left behind quite a few valuable insights and insights. However, it was a pity that unless one entered the Azure Bridge, the chances of success were simply too low.
Similar to the Master Teacher Continent's breakthrough to Ancient Sage, the Azure lacks something that can help one achieve a breakthrough.
After reading through the books, Zhang Xuan already had an answer in mind.
In truth, it wasn't that the predecessors were lacking in talent, but that the Azure lacked something that could help one achieve a breakthrough to Semi-Divinity realm, just like the Master Teacher Continent back then. Most likely, the 'God' character in the Azure was a reference to the 'God' character.
It was for this reason that even without entering the Azure Bridge, it was still possible for one to reach Semi-Divinity realm in the Ethereal Hall.
