The 10,000-meter-long space-crossing divine ship, the Great Whale, arrived as scheduled.
Chen Zong didn't hide his destination.
Trade Wind Tower!
The experts of the Dao Alliance and the entire Nine Heavens Imperial Court were shocked.
These fifth realm king-level powerhouses had all heard of the reputation of the Trade Wind Cove.
Regarding this, they were also very happy and proud of Chen Zong.
Even the Nine Heavens Imperial Court didn't have a space-crossing divine ship like the Great Whale, let alone the Nine Heavens Imperial Court. Even the Seven Mysteries Sword Sect didn't have one.
Waving goodbye, Chen Zong's gaze swept over them and finally stopped on Yu Nianxin's face. There was reluctance, hope, and encouragement in his eyes.
Love was important, but he couldn't be short-tempered.
There was still a long way to go and plenty of time. If they wanted to live happily together, they needed to be stronger. At the very least, they needed to be fearless in the face of all difficulties.
Seeking the Dao was a must.
After nodding slightly at Yu Nianxin, Chen Zong turned around and saw the masked War Demon. He nodded slightly and stepped into the Great Whale.
Once it was activated, the enormous Great Whale began to leave Heaven Continent. Under everyone's gazes, it gradually disappeared into the distance until it was completely gone.
The War Demon, the genius who always wore a ghost mask, was also extraordinary. After coming out of seclusion, his strength had improved greatly. Now, he was ranked in the top 100 of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court's Heavenly Generals Ranking. He was a top genius in the Dao Alliance who wasn't inferior to Ye Daolin, or even surpassed him.
Chen Zong was happy. From the bottom of his heart, the stronger the Dao Alliance was, the better. Whether it was Chen Xiu, Yu Nianxin, Yu Wuxia, or the War Demon, the stronger the better.
The Great Whale's speed kept increasing until it reached its peak. It rushed out of the Nine Heavens Universe and entered the vast universe again. It quickly returned to the Divine Capital of the Mystical Light Divine Capital in the Mystical Light Universe.
It would take another ten years.
Bei Qian, Yan Wu, and the other soldiers who had fought Chen Zong in the arena also knew that Chen Zong was now ranked in the Heavenly Generals Ranking. They couldn't hide their shock.
How long had it been?
Although they were said to be close to the experts on the Divine Generals Ranking, being close to the experts and actually being listed on the Divine Generals Ranking were two different things. Whether or not they could be listed on the Divine Generals Ranking was still unknown.
That step seemed like it could be crossed with just a lift of his leg, but it was also like a natural chasm that could not be crossed no matter what.
Chen Zong became the fourth expert on the Divine Generals Ranking on the Great Whale. He was ranked second.
Ranked in the 8,000th place, Chen Zong felt that he seemed to be more favored by the will of the universe, and his cultivation efficiency had further improved.
However, at this stage of cultivation, if he wanted to continue to improve, the difficulty would increase. Every bit of progress would become more difficult.
Even though Chen Zong had a high level of comprehension and had the help of the Heart Sutra, the speed of his progress was constantly decreasing. Sometimes, after several days of cultivation, there was no progress at all.
Chen Zong wasn't discouraged at all, because his innate talent was indeed limited and couldn't be compared to the Origin Race.
This was determined by the innate nature of the Human Race.
For example, Hou had the Innate Yuan King Body, so his basic strength could be raised to a terrifying level. If he could keep up in other aspects, his strength would become even stronger.
However, as a human, Chen Zong's physique was very ordinary. The cultivation of the Heart Sutra couldn't break the norm, so it was destined that the basic strength of the Heart Sutra could only be so.
As for the three Great Path Sword Techniques, they had been cultivated to the Great Perfection Realm. Although there was still room for improvement, it wasn't that easy. As for Ao Wu, he didn't really need it, because Ao Wu's power could no longer keep up with his own strength.
Now, his true means were the secret techniques of the Great Path.
Currently, Chen Zong had mastered four Great Path Secret Techniques. Two of them were self-created, while the other two were obtained from the Nine Heavens Imperial Path Alliance.
He cultivated, comprehended, and improved slowly.
In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed. The Great Whale had also returned to the second-class branch of the Mysterious Light Divine Dynasty.
In the past ten years, Chen Zong had cultivated to the twenty-second level of the Heart Sutra of the Thirty-three Heavens. He had built twenty-two Heart Palaces. He felt that he had reached the limit of his current stage. The cultivation of the Heart Sutra also continued to improve on the Heart Hundred Wills, slowly rushing towards the fourth level of the Heart Thousand Wills. Unfortunately, there was still a long way to go.
In addition, the three Great Path Sword Techniques had become more mysterious and powerful. For example, in terms of power, the World Sword Technique had improved from the level of the top Level Five Ao Wu to the level of an ordinary Level Six Ao Wu. The same was true for the Heart Sword Technique and the Extreme Edge Sword Technique.
However, the Mountain River Technique was still a Middle Star Secret Technique and couldn't be improved to the Upper Star Secret Technique.
As for the Heart Sword Technique, the Space Splitting Move, Chen Zong had absorbed the essence of the Golden Edge Moon-Slaying Technique and improved it from a Lower Star Secret Technique to a Middle Star Secret Technique. Its power was stronger, but it consumed more energy.
Lastly, the Sword Sharpening Technique had been cultivated to the third level. At this point, the Sword Sharpening Technique had been cultivated to the extreme.
"Not bad." The Chief Commander of the Trade Wind Army summoned Chen Zong. He stared at him with his deep eyes and nodded involuntarily.
It had been thirty years since Chen Zong came and went. His cultivation and strength had improved greatly in all aspects.
The Chief Commander was very surprised to see Chen Zong ranked 8,000 on the Divine General Ranking List. He didn't expect Chen Zong to improve so quickly. He was right.
"I will send you to the first-class branch first. At that time, you will go to the main building to cultivate with the geniuses there." The Chief Commander wasn't a talkative person. He was concise and comprehensive. Chen Zong naturally didn't have any objections, but he was very curious about the first-class branch.
The first-class branch was the Trade Wind Army, which was stronger than the second-class branch. It was also a powerful force that surpassed the Nine Heavens Imperial Court and other forces.
The Great Whale Crossing Divine Ship belonged to the first-class branch. The second-class branch was so powerful, but it didn't have one.
But how could he go to the first-class branch?
Could he still take the Great Whale?
That would take a lot of time.
Soon, Chen Zong knew how to go to the first-class branch. Under the lead of the Chief Commander, there was a realm gate in the secret place of the Trade Wind Army.
There was a secret realm gate that led directly to the first-class branch.
"This realm gate isn't usually opened." The Chief Commander said, "Because every time it is opened, it will consume ten million Cosmos God Crystals."
Chen Zong couldn't help taking in a breath of cold air when he heard this.
Ten million Cosmos God Crystals!
One had to know that until now, he only had two million Cosmos God Crystals on him. He didn't know how long it would take for him to get ten million Cosmos God Crystals.
A single teleportation would consume ten million Cosmos God Crystals. It was really burning money.
No wonder the Chief Commander said that it wasn't usually used. Even a power like the Trade Wind Army wouldn't burn Cosmos God Crystals for fun.
Using good steel on the blade was the most important principle.
The Chief Commander took out ten million Cosmos God Crystals and threw them into the realm gate. Immediately, ten million Cosmos God Crystals released an astonishing energy. That energy was vigorous to the extreme, like the roar of a divine dragon. It emitted a vigorous aura that made Chen Zong feel shocked.
It was as if the moment he touched it, he would be shattered by that vigorous and terrifying energy, turning into powder and dissipating.
Not to mention him, even a fourth realm expert wouldn't be able to survive once he was struck by that energy.
The energy was like a dragon, roaring endlessly and pouring into the realm gate. After being replenished by that tyrannical and vigorous energy, the realm gate lit up with light. Soon after, it seemed to tear the sky apart, forming a crack that kept expanding.
When that crack opened to the extreme, it stabilized. Chen Zong saw an existence that was like a black water surface, permeating with the aura of the void.
The realm gate opened!
"Let's go!" The Chief Commander shouted. With a wave of his hand, a tyrannical energy enveloped Chen Zong, protecting Chen Zong firmly. Then, he took a step forward, bringing Chen Zong's body into that realm gate.
In the blink of an eye, the Chief Commander's body disappeared as if he was swallowed by the realm gate.
The realm gate was slowly closing. After three breaths, it was completely closed. The vigorous energy released by ten million Cosmos God Crystals was completely consumed.
Shuttling!
Under the protection of the Chief Commander's energy, Chen Zong wasn't attacked at all. He kept moving forward with the Chief Commander.
This place was like a void passageway, and the Grand Commander's power was carrying him through this passageway.
Go, go, go!
Like an aurora, they moved as fast as lightning, covering millions of miles in a breath.
The Trade Wind Tower had a main building and four first-grade branch buildings. Chen Zong and the Chief Commander were heading to the nearest first-grade branch building, which was also the superior branch building of the Strange Light Dynasty's second-grade branch building. Although it was said to be the closest, it was actually very far away. If the Great Whale sailed at the speed of light, it would take a full 50 years to arrive at the destination.
50 years was actually nothing to cultivators. The universe was so vast that sometimes a journey could take hundreds of years.
However, there weren't many opportunities to head to the main building. This time, there was a chance. If they missed it because they didn't have enough time, who knew how many years it would be before they could get another chance?
That was why the Chief Commander took out ten million Cosmos God Crystals to open the realm gate and cross the 50-year journey to the first-grade branch building in the shortest time possible.
Of course, ten million Cosmos God Crystals were nothing to a sixth-level Emperor like the Chief Commander. However, he couldn't do this often. Otherwise, no matter how much wealth he had, he wouldn't be able to afford it.
Chen Zong widened his eyes and tried his best to look around. However, all he could see was a stretch of dark flowing light. It was like streaks of dark meteors flying around him.
It was too fast!
The Chief Commander's speed was too fast. It seemed to be even faster than the Great Whale.
Of course, this wasn't the case. The Chief Commander was teleporting through the realm gate, which was equivalent to compressing the void between the two branches to the extreme. He could cross it in a shorter time.
A flash of light appeared, and the Grand Commander rushed into the light.
