Such an intensity of challenge primarily centers around those at the tenth sanctum!
But now he was only just touching the fringes of the tenth sanctum. One could imagine the pressure he was under.
Time flew by and in the blink of an eye, two months had passed. In these two months, Chen Changāan had submitted his resignation in the Wanyu Heaven, took Mao Ruxue to visit the Immortal Mother in Jin Hua Xian Mountain, and then returned to Dao Zang Mountain. It was already the second month since Chen Changāan had returned to the mountain.
"Young man, I have found the place you asked me to search for."
One day, Shen Xuzi, whom he hadnāt seen in a long time, came running to Chen Changāan with great eagerness.
"Where is the location? Is it accessible to people?" asked Chen Changāan.
Shen Xuzi said: "The location is on a small island in the Silent Death Sea. Itās a forbidden zone for living creatures, regular people cannot go there. But you should be able to."
"Really??"
Hearing what Shen Xuzi said, Chen Changāan was delighted. What he asked Shen Xuzi to find was not something else, but the path to the Immortal Realm.
After having a battle with Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch, Chen Changāan always felt that always being passive wasnāt all that good.
Instead of waiting for Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch to catch him off guard after advancing to the Wuxiang realm, he might as well destroy that old manās lair first. By doing so, all problems would be solved once and for all.
As soon as this thought came up, it was out of control. The only remaining problem was how to get to the Immortal Realm.
In Chen Changāanās view, since the Immortal Realm has a passage to the Wuxiang realm, wouldnāt the Wuxiang realm also have a passage to the Immortal Realm?
With that in mind, he asked Shen Xuzi to search for it. He originally didnāt have much hope for it, but he didnāt expect Shen Xuzi to actually find it! This was indeed a pleasant surprise!
"Old man, letās go and have a look." At that moment, Chen Changāan called Shen Xuzi to prepare to go to the Silent Death Sea.
"Moo Moo~!"
However, while Chen Changāan was ready to leave, Little Duo behind him was not happy. It seemed to know that Chen Changāan was heading to the Immortal Realm and wanted to go with him.
"Little Duo, you need to behave and stay at home."
"I promise, next time I go out, I will take you with me. Is that okay?" Chen Changāan could only persuade Little Duo in this manner.
Although Little Duo is still in its infancy, its strength is not to be underestimated. Without it to guard here, Chen Changāan would not dare to wander around.
"Moo Moo~!" Hearing what Chen Changāan said, Little Duo immediately felt depressed. It rubbed against Chen Changāanās hand, clearly unwilling to be left behind, but eventually, it nodded in agreement.
"Little Duo is really good." Seeing Little Duo agree, Chen Changāan immediately hugged it and gave it a big kiss.
Afterwards, having made some arrangements, Chen Changāan and Shen Xuzi stepped out and headed straight for the Silent Death Sea.
The Silent Death Sea is known as one of the most dangerous places in the Wuxiang realm. However, that was only for outsiders. For Chen Changāan, going there was as easy as going home.
The reign of his Emperor Song stood absolute in this small territory!
"Young man, this is the spot." After reaching the Silent Death Sea, Shen Xuzi took Chen Changāan even deeper for quite some distance, eventually stopping in front of a small island.
The island was enveloped by a shadowy aura, giving it a sinister appearance. A blood moon shrouded the sky above the island, creating an eerie atmosphere.
"The aura on this island is very strange, likely left behind from the chaos of heaven and earth in the ancient times which didnāt get processed on time."
"Iāve carefully observed, and there is indeed a very complete teleportation formation left behind, and the formation does have a way that leads to the Immortal Realm."
"However, this teleportation formation seems to be ancient and whether it can be activated or not is uncertain, and even if we could activate it, whether it can reach the Immortal Realm is still an unknown."
Hearing what Shen Xuzi said, Chen Changāan did not think too much, and headed straight towards the island. Since they had come all this way, they had to at least give it a try.
Hum hum hum~!
However, Chen Changāan found himself stopped by a barrier after just a few steps.
The island seemed to be protected by some kind of rule. No mortal creature could enter.
Crack crack~!
Being blocked, Chen Changāan immediately took a step back, then touched the barrier carefully, perceiving it while circulating various techniques within his body. He was trying to find any useful clues.
However, Chen Changāan was disappointed. No matter what methods he used, the barrier remained unchanged.
On the contrary, his constant attempts only enhanced the ominous and terrifying aura around the barrier.
If this kept up, he and Shen Xuzi would soon face an unprecedented horror.
What should he do? Should he just give up?
Seeing this, Chen Changāan fell into deep thought. He disliked being passive, and this held true for Ancient Ling Immortal Monarchās issue as well.
"Old man, is there any other way to the Immortal Realm?" Chen Changāan turned to ask Shen Xuzi.
"No," Shen Xuzi shook his head.
"This world is not ready for ascension. The possibility of opening an ascending gateway lies only in the Immortal Realm, thereās absolutely no likelihood of opening it here."
"Of course, if you insist on using other methods to go to the Immortal Realm, it may not be impossible."
"Once the spirit of the Heavenly Dao Sea in your world completes its ascension, the standing of this world will be akin to the Immortal Realm. Then, a resonance will form between the two worlds, creating a passage, and you can go."
"However, I guess you might not want to use this method."
Finishing his words, Shen Xuzi glanced at Chen Changāan.
Chen Changāan helpless nodded. Indeed, the third method Shen Xuzi suggested was the most reliable one, a method he knew himself, but he was least willing to use it.
Because once the passage was established, it wouldnāt matter whether he could go or not, the real issue would be that the Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch would surely kill his way here!
Then, he would end up entirely in a passive position, which was not a good thing at all!
Was there really no other way around this?
Chen Changāan was reluctant to admit defeat, but he felt helpless.
Hum-hum-hum~!
However, at this moment, a humming sound suddenly came from Chen Changāanās hand, and accompanied by this sound, he immediately felt a heat from his palm.
He spread his hand out and found a plum blossom mark in his palm, which he didnāt know when it appeared. The plum blossom was blood red and took up more than half of his palm.
The humming sound was coming from within this plum blossom.
"Blood Plum Blossom?!" Shen Xuzi exclaimed in shock at the sight of the plum blossom, his expression was as if he had just seen dozens of beauties.
"Kid, now you can activate this teleportation array. Who would have thought that woman would give you the Blood Plum Blossom too, itās unbelievably amazing!"
"Blood Plum Blossom? What is it?" Shen Xuziās reaction puzzled Chen Changāan."
"Kid, do you remember the woman you met under the Ancient Sacred Tree? This Blood Plum Blossom belongs to her!"
"The blooming of Blood Plum Blossom signals the southern arrival of the Female Emperor!"
"This Blood Plum Blossom is marked with the Dao of the Female Emperor. Opening a tiny ban with her status in Heaven and Earth is not a big deal. Try it if you donāt believe me."
Could it really be that effective?
Seeing how much credit Shen Xuzi gave it, Chen Changāan was doubtful. After all, his encounter with that woman was quite dramatic.
If he remembered correctly, it seemed that woman had set a test for him, but honestly, that test felt non-existent.
With doubts, Chen Changāan put his hand on the barrier.
Hum-hum-hum~!
However, to his surprise, the moment he placed his hand on it, the barrier actually opened automatically?!
