Zhou Qing had been waiting for this day. He had been counting the days.
The source energy of the Celestial Realm belonged to the main world, but it had been cut off from the main world, so there wasn’t much connection between them.
The old and young descendants of the Immortal Court took advantage of the weakness of the main world and stole the source energies of the main world to create the Celestial Realm.
Their actions caused a spiritual energy tide to appear in the world. Every few thousand years, the spiritual energy would retreat. Then, a period of time was needed before it recovered again.
But the Celestial Realm wasn’t affected.
This wasn’t right.
‘The Immortal Court has been wiped out. You bunch of remaining remnants should adapt to the new era instead of trying to rebuild it. Even if you want to rebuild it, don’t exploit the entire world for yourselves.’ Lin Jiufeng’s eyes were cold. He had walked onto the Immortal Road.
The Immortal Road was very beautiful. It was as if it was far away, standing alone in the world, looking at this world, high and mighty.
Lin Jiufeng stepped onto the Immortal Road and stood on it, looking behind him.
What he saw was a world.
A vast and strange world.
The world was slowly improving, and the recovery of spiritual energy was also beginning to reach its peak. It was like the 11 o’clock sun at noon, close to the center.
When it reached the center and reached the peak, it would slowly slide down.
At that time, the spiritual energy in the world would weaken and once again revert back to how it was when Lin Jiufeng just came to this world.
A world where Martial Sages were King!
What were the Martial Sages now?
Perhaps they were a lackey for others. There were Martial Sages in every profession.
Martial Sages, which were the former pillar of the dynasty, were now everywhere. In the era of spiritual energy, the positions of Martial Sages were infinitely pulled down.
“I won’t let the spiritual energy weaken again.”
“The Celestial Realm must be shattered!”
Lin Jiufeng looked firmly at the end of the Immortal Road.
A high and mighty world.
A world with a group of weaklings and a group of cowards.
He walked in.
This time, the Celestial Realm opened for him.
At the end of the Immortal Road stood Zhou Qing. He looked at Lin Jiufeng solemnly.
“You have to know that once you are attacked, there will be no escape. Are you confident?” Zhou Qing asked.
“I’m not confident,” Lin Jiufeng said softly.
Zhou Qing’s expression turned anxious.
“I’m just confident in myself, that’s all.” Lin Jiufeng smiled gently.
Zhou Qing took a deep breath and said solemnly, “Listen, once you make a move, you will definitely alert the remnants of the Immortal Court. They have always had persecutory delusions and have always wanted to rebuild the Immortal Court. But because they are afraid of death, they refuse to go out and hide here to numb themselves. But even so, their strength is still very terrifying.”
“How terrifying?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
“I don’t know, but you just need to know that in the Celestial Realm, no one can defeat them,” Zhou Qing said solemnly.
“Okay, I understand,” Lin Jiufeng said lightly, not taking it to heart.
Since he was already here, how could he retreat now?
“I’m asking one last time. Have you really decided?” Zhou Qing stopped Lin Jiufeng and asked.
“What are you afraid of?” Lin Jiufeng looked at Zhou Qing with a mocking expression.
“I just want to make sure that nothing goes wrong.” Zhou Qing frowned.
“Ask yourself in your heart. You are just afraid. You are afraid of being discovered to be in the same group as me. You are afraid of death, but you also yearn for freedom and desire to leave the Celestial Realm and escape their control. Therefore, you are very contradictory, moving back and forth indefinitely,” Lin Jiufeng pointed at Zhou Qing’s heart and said coldly.
Zhou Qing was speechless.
“Let me tell you one more thing. The people who waver in their stand are very annoying. You can either expose me now and also kneel down and beg for mercy from those descendants who have oppressed you for more than 10,000 years and see if they will let you go.”
“Or you can follow me now and walk all the way to the end to deal with this group of parasites that are sucking blood from the source energy of the world.”
“There’s no third choice. Decide for yourself.”
Lin Jiufeng coldly stared at Zhou Qing, blocking his path.
Zhou Qing’s face turned black and white. It was obvious that he was in an intense struggle.
Lin Jiufeng remained silent as he watched him silently.
A minute later, Zhou Qing raised his head and looked at Lin Jiufeng. He revealed a hideous smile and gritted his teeth. “I’ll bring you in. You follow me first, and I’ll bring you with me to ensure that you won’t be discovered. The Celestial Realm is ruled by this group of old and young descendants. After more than 10,000 years, they have long relaxed their vigilance and are trusting in me. I’m a commander in the Celestial Realm, I can cover for you.”
After saying this, Zhou Qing stepped into the Celestial Realm with Lin Jiufeng.
Lin Jiufeng’s expression was calm. He wasn’t surprised at all. He followed him into the Celestial Realm.
Boom!
The source energy of spiritual energy in the Celestial Realm directly pounced on them. The rich source energy of spiritual energy transformed into a tangible fog that filled the Celestial Realm.
In Lin Jiufeng’s eyes, the interior of the Celestial Realm was filled with immortal energy. It shrouded the mountains, the palaces, and the gorgeous buildings. It was like a fairyland, incredibly beautiful.
But this beauty was rooted in the outside world.
Absorbing the blood of the main world to create this beautiful Celestial Realm.
With this look, Lin Jiufeng’s eyes turned cold.
“Come with me.” Zhou Qing waved at Lin Jiufeng and weaved through the clouds.
Lin Jiufeng followed him. Behind him, he saw what the interior of the Celestial Realm looked like.
“How big is the Celestial Realm?” Lin Jiufeng asked. He temporarily didn’t dare to scan with his spiritual consciousness. He would be easily discovered. Although he wasn’t afraid of those remnants of the Imperial Court, it was better not to expose himself if he could.
“The Celestial Realm isn’t big. It’s less than 100,000 miles from the front to the back, but it’s divided into several layers. It’s imitating the Immortal Court Model of the past.” Zhou Qing led the way in front. He scanned the surroundings to ensure that no one would discover them and explained in a low voice.
“Immortal Court Model?” Lin Jiufeng was curious.
“When the Immortal Court was at its peak, it controlled the Nine Heavens. The Nine Heavens was very vast, and each of them was as big as the mortal realm. The Nine Heavens was the foundation of the Immortal Court. This group of old and young descendants also created this in the Celestial Realm. They imitated the Immortal Court and created the Four Extreme Heavens, but they weren’t as magnificent as the Nine Heavens back then. They are just Small Worlds that are smaller than the Celestial Realm,” Zhou Qing explained.
Lin Jiufeng understood.
“This group of old and young descendants live in the Four Extreme Heavens. The world’s source energies that they stole back then are stored there, and they don’t allow outsiders like us to touch them.”
“They choose people and manage the Celestial Realm for them separately. I’m one of them, I’m in charge of a portion of the Celestial Realm, including the Immortal Path, so it’s very easy for me to let you in.”
Zhou Qing explained.
“Once the people of the Celestial Realm start fighting, how many people will support this group of old and young? How many people will choose to stand aside and watch?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
He wasn’t afraid of these immortals, they were really nothing in front of Lin Jiufeng.
But if there were too many mosquitoes, it would be very annoying too. If there were many people who supported the old and young descendants of the Immortal Court, Lin Jiufeng would take the initiative to settle them first.
“Don’t worry about that. This group of people only came in later. The old and young members of the Immortal Court never trusted them. They have always chosen to control them through force as the priority. Once you guys start fighting, there will definitely be no one to help them. Everyone will only choose to sit idle and wait for the outcome of the battle to be determined,” Zhou Qing said solemnly. He was very confident of this.
Because he was such a person.
The difference was that he had a closer relationship with Lin Jiufeng and couldn’t stand by and do nothing. After all, he was the one who brought Lin Jiufeng in. Once Lin Jiufeng lost, he would be held accountable.
That was why he was so troubled before. Now that he had made up his mind, he immediately told Lin Jiufeng everything he knew.
He hoped that Lin Jiufeng could kill this group of old and young people as soon as possible.
“Then where are we going now?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
Since this group of people would choose to stand aside and watch, there was no need to be so careful.
“There are the old and young members of the Immortal Court patrolling in the Celestial Realm. They don’t trust us. If they stay in the Four Extreme Heavens for a long time and don’t care about us, what if the people below collude with each other and rebel? That’s why they have people patrolling. Right now, we have to avoid them and enter the Four Extreme Heavens. When the time comes, you can find those old and young members to take action,” Zhou Qing said.
“Catch them off guard. These old and young descendants who lived in comfort definitely wouldn’t expect that someone would be so audacious as to barge into the Celestial Realm. They also wouldn’t expect that I, who had always been loyal and devoted to them, would betray them so firmly and stab them in the back. As long as you are powerful enough, they will definitely suffer a calamity this time,” Zhou Qing sneered and said.
He hadn’t been idle for the past three months. He had been rehearsing the events for today.
He really yearned for freedom.
Hence, he chose to cooperate with Lin Jiufeng.
He became Lin Jiufeng’s accomplice.
“Before killing them, obtain the spiritual liquid that controls you lot first. Then, take the spiritual liquid and tell the others not to make a move. Leave the rest to me,” Lin Jiufeng said to Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing’s eyes lit up. He nodded and said, “Sir, you are indeed more thoughtful.”
“Although you said that this group of people will stand aside and do nothing, what if those old and young descendants order you lot to attack me and use this thing to control you lot? If there are too many flies and mosquitoes, I will also be vexed and delay time,” Lin Jiufeng said.
Zhou Qing took note of this. Seeing that there was no one along the way, he brought Lin Jiufeng to the entrance of the Four Extreme Heavens.
In the center of the Celestial Realm, there was a pillar that supported the sky, extending endlessly. At the top, it supported the Four Extreme Heavens.
“In the Four Extreme Heavens, there are many powerhouses. The one controlling the spiritual liquid is a person called Daoist Priest Huang Long. He’s from a non-human race and is very powerful. He’s the one who supplies the spiritual liquid to us every time so that we won’t age,” Zhou Qing said.
“Is there anyone nearby this Huang Long?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
“No, there isn’t. Now that you’ve mentioned it, it’s strange. The other members of the previous Imperial Court have all grouped together, but he’s the only one who’s always been alone and doesn’t interact with others. With a cold face, he lives alone in the first level of the Four Extreme Heavens. No one dares to offend him,” Zhou Qing said curiously.
“Alright. Since he’s so lonely and no one dares to offend him, let’s go over,” Lin Jiufeng said decisively.
“Okay, I’ll bring you to visit him.” Zhou Qing nodded.
Zhou Qing avoided the people patrolling the Celestial Realm. He had lived here for more than 10,000 years. No one expected him to betray them, no one could possibly imagine this to happen.
As a result, he easily deceived his way inside.
Lin Jiufeng followed him to the first level of the Four Extreme Heavens.
There was a 7000-mile Plain here. Together with the 3000-mile mountain range, it was like a vast wilderness world.
In the depths of this wilderness-like world, on the mountain range that was 3,000 miles long, many mountains had been split by axes. They were cut in half, and the huge mountains collapsed. It was as if they had been smashed by an immortal hammer and were devastated. Dead branches and leaves covered the land in desolation.
A great battle had once taken place here.
“Get out. Who let you in?”
But before Lin Jiufeng could take another look, an angry voice sounded. With a surging aura, this person directly slapped over.
The target was Zhou Qing.
Caught off guard, Zhou Qing’s body immediately trembled. He spat out a large mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
Lin Jiufeng didn’t look at Zhou Qing. He was injured, but he wouldn’t die.
He looked at the 3,000 miles long mountain range.
Over there, a yellow dragon appeared in its true form in fury. Its eyes that were the size of a house glared angrily at Lin Jiufeng and Zhou Qing.
“No one is allowed to enter here. Why did you bring people in?” Huang Long said angrily. His huge dragon body was revealed, and he crushed a mountain with one claw.
Lin Jiufeng said calmly, “I wanted to try some dragon meat, so I asked him to bring me here.”
Huang Long stared at Lin Jiufeng with a cold gaze. He snorted and said, “You’re seeking death!”
