"I'm the one who resurrected you."
Su Chen didn't care whether Taibai Mingyue could accept the current situation or not. He went straight to the point. "I want to open the Immortal Path to Heaven, but the Taibai Clan was exterminated by Kuangren, so you were lucky enough to be chosen by me. As a reward for your resurrection, I need you to help me open the Immortal Path to Heaven."
"Wait …"
Taibai Mingyue's eyes widened. "You mean … the Taibai Clan was exterminated?"
Su Chen was too lazy to explain. He waved his hand and teleported back to the Taibai Immortal Palace with Taibai Mingyue, where she saw the corpses of her clansmen with her own eyes.
But surprisingly, Taibai Mingyue didn't feel sad or angry when she saw the corpses of her clansmen.
The Empress seemed to have noticed something and asked, "Miss Mingyue, when did you die of poisoning?"
"I remember it was not long after I came to the Endless Peak, but since I fell ill, I've been in a daze. I don't remember exactly when it happened … You said I'm dead, is it true?"
The Endless Peak appeared after the Immortal World was sealed, which meant that Taibai Mingyue had been dead for more than three million years. She probably didn't know much about the Taibai Clan now, so it was no wonder she didn't feel sad.
Su Chen spent some time explaining the current situation to Taibai Mingyue, and she finally understood everything.
"I can take you to the Immortal Path to Heaven, but you have to promise me one thing."
"What is it?"
"Take me to the Immortal World. When the Immortal World was sealed, my grandfather escorted me down to the mortal world, but he didn't have time to escape danger. I want to go to the Immortal World to find my grandfather."
"Your grandfather is?"
"Taibai Jinxing."
Su Chen blushed with shame. It turned out that Taibai Mingyue was a second-generation immortal.
Heavenly Empress was even more surprised. Taibai Jinxing was a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, and was considered to have a high position in the Heavenly Court. As Taibai Jinxing's granddaughter, Taibai Mingyue could be considered to have a strong background. Her understanding of the Immortal Realm might far surpass her.
Immediately, the Empress gave Su Chen a look.
Su Chen understood and agreed to Taibai Mingyue's request. "Okay, it's a deal."
"Since that's the case, let's …"
Before he could finish his words, Taibai Mingyue felt a strong sense of weakness. He couldn't even stand properly.
"My body … is so tired."
"It should be because I've just been revived. I'll recover slowly."
Su Chen moved Taibai Ming Yue onto Rainbow Horse's back. Then, he drove Rainbow Horse forward. He only needed Taibai Ming Yue to lead the way.
Soon, Su Chen arrived at the peak of the Endless Peak.
This place was filled with black holes, space was chaotic, and gravity was distorted. Moreover, the spatial dimension was also extremely unstable. One wrong step could cause one to be sucked into the depths of the black hole by a spatial storm. Danger lurked everywhere.
Fortunately, Bright Moon was quite familiar with the path here, and she did not make any mistakes along the way. Although there were a few times when they were almost swallowed by the black hole, the Rainbow Horse was also quite strong. It was always able to stabilize itself at the most dangerous moment, and no matter how the gravity pulled at it, it would not move.
This situation lasted for an entire day.
One day later, under Taibai Ming Yue's guidance, Su Chen finally saw the legendary Immortal Path to Heaven.
This was a strangely structured Immortal Bridge. There were dozens of black holes of various sizes near the entrance. The Immortal Path was not long, and one could see the end with the naked eye. However, the space at the end was very strange. It was as if it was covered by a huge white hole, or as if it was a bloody mouth that wanted to swallow anyone who crossed the Immortal Bridge.
"This is the Immortal Path to Heaven?" Su Chen was a little disappointed. This was not the same as the Immortal Path to Heaven he had imagined.
It felt more like the Bridge of Helplessness that led to the underworld.
Taibai Ming Yue was also a little surprised. "The Immortal Path was not like this in the past. The current Immortal Path … seems to have been broken by someone."
"Can it still be used?" Su Chen was worried that there would be more problems.
Going to the Celestial World was indeed much more difficult than he had imagined.
"I'll try."
Taibai Ming Yue took the lead and flew towards the Immortal Path to Heaven. She condensed her Soul Power and Blood Qi and injected them into the Immortal Path to Heaven. Soon, the Immortal Path to Heaven shone brightly, and the bridge seemed to come alive.
Su Chen observed carefully and discovered the mystery of the Immortal Path to Heaven.
This Immortal Path was not a physical entity, but was formed by countless divine patterns. It was essentially a super spatial teleportation formation.
However, this divine pattern was very different from the one Su Chen used.
Divine patterns were formed by the natural laws of the world. There would be certain differences between the divine patterns of different worlds. The divine patterns of the Primordial Universe and the divine patterns of the Celestial World were obviously different. The divine patterns that formed the Immortal Path to Heaven must have come from the Celestial World.
Su Chen wanted to study the mystery of this divine pattern in detail. However, the Immortal Path to Heaven had already started to change. The white hole at the end of the Immortal Path to Heaven started to spin. At the end of the Immortal Path, purple lightning flashed like pythons. The Immortal Path started to shake violently.
"Oh no, the core of the Immortal Path to Heaven has been destroyed. Once it's opened, it can't be reversed. I'm afraid it's going to collapse soon!" Taibai Ming Yue suddenly shouted anxiously.
Su Chen and the Empress rushed up immediately.
"Can't we go to the Celestial World?"
"We can go now, but after we go … I'm afraid we won't be able to come back."
"That's okay. As long as we can go, we'll think of a way to come back."
Su Chen flicked his finger and sent a ball of Soul Power that contained his consciousness in the direction of the Fortress of the Gods. Then, he grabbed the Empress and Taibai Ming Yue's arms, took out the Yan Emperor Sword, and rode the Centaur Lady towards the Immortal Path to Heaven.
They had to enter the Celestial World before the Immortal Path to Heaven collapsed.
With the authentication of the Yan Emperor Sword, Su Chen was unimpeded on the Immortal Path to Heaven. Soon, they rushed into the white hole. In an instant, countless Purple Thunderbolts bombarded from all directions, creating a bottomless hole in the space. Immediately, a majestic suction force pulled Su Chen and the rest into the bottomless hole.
At the last moment, Su Chen looked back and saw that the Immortal Path to Heaven was already collapsing under the bombardment of the Purple Thunderbolts. It disintegrated into the vast deep space.
Su Chen didn't know whether it was good or bad to risk everything to break into the Celestial World. However, since he was here, he wouldn't regret it.
"Celestial World, I'm coming!"
