After the battle, the Sword Sect's disciples dispersed. Today's battle would tell the entire Zhanwu Continent that Zi Chen had strength comparable to the Heaven Realm.
In this battle, the Sword Sect's sect master and Wang Xian 'er's master did not appear. They were currently in seclusion, trying to break through to the Heaven Realm.
Zi Chen followed Xian 'er back to their residence. Jin Qingcheng and Dong Qing followed behind. Xian' er kept talking, seeming very excited.
After sitting down, Jin Qingcheng looked at Zi Chen and asked, "You've already entered the pseudo Heaven Realm, and your combat strength is comparable to the Heaven Realm. You're completely at the peak of the Zhanwu Continent. What do you plan to do next?"
Dong Qing and Wang Xian 'er also looked at Zi Chen.
Zi Chen answered without hesitation, "Return to the Martial Heaven Continent."
"Return to the Martial Heaven Continent."
Jin Qingcheng and Dong Qing were startled. They had followed Zi Chen for a long time, and they were very clear about the Martial Heaven Continent's environment. The spiritual qi there was not enough for the Earth Realm.
"I'm from the Martial Heaven Continent. If I want to enter the Heaven Realm, I have to return there," explained Zi Chen.
The two of them nodded. They had just met, and now they were going to be separated. Naturally, they were not in a good mood.
Zi Chen looked at the two of them and said, "This time, I'll take Xian 'er with me. We'll be trying to break through to the Heaven Realm in the Martial Heaven Continent. We won't come here for a long time. The two of you have to work hard in the future and try to enter the Heaven Realm as soon as possible so that you can protect yourselves in the war."
"War? Protect ourselves?" The two of them did not understand.
"The world is warning that a golden age is coming. It also indicates that danger is coming. The outsiders are our greatest enemy. They might invade again."
"Is this news confirmed?"
"It was the lightning saint beast who told me."
This was something Zi Chen had thought of long ago. He would use the lightning saint beast's name to cover everything.
The two of them nodded solemnly. The invasion of the outsiders was a disaster for the entire world. In front of such a disaster, love seemed insignificant.
Zi Chen did not plan to stay here for too long. He signaled Xian 'er to go find Longhu and then head to the Wuji Sect together.
While Xian 'er was looking for Longhu, Jiankong came to look for Zi Chen. He was the only Heaven Realm expert currently guarding the Sword Sect.
"Zi Chen, I've come to look for you this time because I feel that there are a few suspicious points in this battle." Jian Kong went straight to the point and directly stated his intentions.
"What is it?" Zi Chen asked.
"I know that Jin Chang very well. He belongs to the older generation in the Heaven Realm. In this battle, he did not display his true strength. That Celestial Armament was obviously not his, and he could not unleash the true power of the Celestial Armament. But as far as I know, he knows Great Path techniques. To the Heaven Realm, Great Path techniques are almost the same as Celestial Armaments, but he did not use them."
Zi Chen listened quietly.
"Of course, you might have attacked too quickly, causing him to be unable to use his strongest technique. However, I want to say that in the future, when you encounter a Heaven Realm cultivator, you must not be careless. In the eyes of cultivators, Heaven Realm cultivators are equivalent to the real Heavens."
Jin Chang was indeed holding a grudge, as he did not have the chance to use many of his moves.
However, Zi Chen who was in the pseudo Heaven Realm was not afraid of Jin Chang at all. That being said, the Heavenly Saber's decisiveness in retreating had indeed made Zi Chen suspicious.
"What is a Heavenly Dao Art?"
There was no answer to Jin Chang's question, but Zi Chen was able to learn the Heavenly Dao Art from Jiankong.
"The Heavenly Dao Art is a Great Path Technique, created by following the path of the Heavenly Dao. It is said that some geniuses were able to create their own Great Path Techniques, but most of the Great Path Techniques are inherited. For example, the Great Path Techniques of the Sword Sect are suitable for the Sword Sect's sword intent, while the Great Path Techniques of the Five Elements Clans are perfectly compatible with the origin of the Five Elements."
"That means the Great Path Techniques are limited. The Great Path Techniques of the Sword Sect can only be used by the people of the Sword Sect."
"That's right, even if someone else obtains it and is able to execute it, they won't be able to unleash the true power of the Great Path Techniques."
Jiankong looked at Zi Chen and said, "I heard that you are from the Thunder Clan. You have to go to the Thunder Clan to find the Great Path Techniques that belong to you."
Speaking of the Thunder Clan, no one was more knowledgeable than the Thunder Sacred Beast. Unfortunately, one could not use the Great Path Techniques before reaching the Heaven Realm.
This was the rule. As for Zi Chen being able to use Extreme Yang, it was purely because Extreme Yang was one of the cultivation methods that Zi Chen cultivated. He had been in contact with it since he was in the Human Realm, so he could use it.
If Zi Chen was given another Great Path Technique of the Thunder Clan, even with Zi Chen's current realm, he would not be able to use it.
This was the limitation of the Great Path Techniques. Before using it, one must first obtain the approval of this world.
For example, Zi Chen already had the strength of a Pseudo Heaven Realm, but he had to obtain the approval of the world's origin to become a Pseudo Heaven Realm in this world and possess the aura of a Pseudo Heaven Realm.
"The golden age is coming, and the danger is coming. The Sword Sect should be ready, right?" Zi Chen, who no longer cared about the Great Path Techniques, said.
"Danger? What danger?" Jian Kong looked at Zi Chen, wanting to see some emotional fluctuations on his face.
Zi Chen shook his head and said, "I'm not too sure either. It's said that it's a foreign race. I just overheard it."
"Overheard it? Who did you hear it from?" Jian Kong continued to ask.
"The Thunder Sacred Beast."
This was the answer that Zi Chen had thought of a long time ago. He intended to remind the Sword Sect, but he did not want to expose his identity, so he brought up the Thunder Sacred Beast.
For those forces with a long history, the name of the Thunder Sacred Beast was like thunder to their ears. Everyone knew about it.
"Lord Saint is still alive." Jian Kong was very surprised.
"I was seriously injured and my realm dropped. I just returned to the Heaven Realm. I'm currently thinking of a way to break through to the Saint Realm," Zi Chen said truthfully.
"Since it's what Lord Saint said, it naturally can't be false. This time, the golden age has suddenly arrived. Our Sword Sect also felt it, but we don't dare to be sure. As a result, all the cultivators of our sect must go into seclusion until the great war arrives."
Seeing Jian Kong's sigh, Zi Chen said, "I'm not sure about that. I just heard a few words. Moreover, even if the foreign race invades, they won't come for a while. There's no need to make such a fuss."
Jian Kong shook his head and said, "Zi Chen, you don't know. The foreign race is our biggest disaster. They appeared here to destroy."
"Just to destroy? Is there nothing else they want?"
Zi Chen asked. In the Tianwu Continent, the Devil Race was an alien race. Back then, when everyone talked about the Devil Race, they said that the Devil Race was here to destroy and kill.
However, the truth was that the Devil Race was here to survive.
In the Zhanwu Continent, Zi Chen once again saw the foreign race and heard that they were here to destroy.
But what about Ling Shuang?
She was also a foreign race. Could it be that she came to the Zhanwu Continent to destroy?
Facing Zi Chen's question, Jian Kong said, "I've read in some ancient books that destruction is indeed a major factor in the invasion of the foreign race. However, when I was young, I heard my elders mention it once. It's said that it's also the reason for the invasion of the foreign race."
Zi Chen looked at Jian Kong, waiting for him to continue.
"It's said that the other reason for the invasion is to enter the Lightning Divine Palace." Jian Kong said seriously.
"Lightning Divine Palace." Zi Chen's expression changed.
"Why? You know about it." Jian Kong looked at Zi Chen in surprise.
"I've been there before."
"What?" Jian Kong cried out in surprise, his face filled with disbelief.
One had to know that Jian Kong had been in the Heaven Realm for a long time, but the Lightning Divine Palace had always been a legendary existence to him.
Moreover, it was said that no one who entered the Lightning Divine Palace survived.
"Back then, my realm was too weak and I was tricked. After I entered, I was lucky to not die." Zi Chen briefly explained the matter of entering the Lightning Divine Palace.
Longhu forcefully came out of seclusion. He had already broken through to the Undying Realm and was currently trying to break through to the Pseudo Heaven Realm.
Before he came, he had heard about the battle between Zi Chen and the Heaven Realm experts. He was extremely shocked.
Jian Kong bade farewell and left with Wang Xian 'er. At the same time, Zi Chen informed him that he was leaving as well. This surprised Jian Kong.
He thought that Zi Chen would stay here for a long time.
Zi Chen said that he wanted to return to the Sky Martial Continent to break through to the Heaven Realm. Jian Kong did not ask him to stay any longer. He then said that he would use the name of the Sword Sect to instruct the entire Fourth Mainland to be on guard in order to deal with the upcoming battle.
The three of them left. When the crowd heard that they were sending them off, they were extremely reluctant.
Zi Chen had only stayed here for less than a day.
Zi Chen waved at Jin Qingcheng and Dong Qing, saying, "We'll meet again if fate allows."
The two of them nodded. Tears instantly fell from the corner of Dong Qing's eyes.
"You can actually bring her along." Wang Xian 'er said on the way.
Zi Chen naturally knew who Xian 'er was talking about. He shook his head and said, "This world is more suitable for her."
During his conversation with the old farmer and the Lightning Sacred Beast, Zi Chen knew that everyone had to find their roots before breaking through to the Heaven Realm.
The old farmer had already told Zi Chen the answer that Xing Dao Li could not find back then.
However, not every cultivator had to make a trip to the Sky Martial Continent before entering the Heaven Realm to find the roots of the world.
Xing Dao Li was born in the Sky Martial Continent. To him, the Sky Martial Continent was his foundation.
Dong Qing was born in the Zhanwu Continent. This was his foundation.
If Xing Dao Li had not broken through yet, Zi Chen believed that he could help him break through with just a word.
Just as Zi Chen left the Sword Sect, the news of Zi Chen fighting against the Heaven Realm experts spread. Soon after, this news spread throughout the Zhanwu Continent.
To the Zhanwu Continent, Zi Chen's current reputation could be said to be the best of the entire continent.
"He went to the Sword Sect again and broke through to the Pseudo Heaven Realm. It seems that Zi Chen is really preparing to go back this time. Let's go, we'll go directly to the first continent."
After the monk heard the news, he called Devil Ape, Lv Peng, and Zhang Haotian to the first continent.
They had already guessed that Zi Chen was preparing to return to the Sky Martial Continent.
The three of them came from the fourth continent to the third continent. There were more resources here, so it was naturally more prosperous.
After the three of them entered the city, they did not stop and went straight to the inter-domain teleportation formation.
Just as the three of them were about to step into the teleportation formation, a cold voice suddenly rang out, "Wait, stop."
The three of them turned around and looked behind them.
A young man stood there. The young man was wearing a luxurious purple robe. The purple robe was embedded with bright gems. Under the sunlight, the gems emitted a resplendent light.
Looking at the purple robe, Zi Chen's expression changed slightly. Under his spiritual sense, he discovered that this purple robe was equivalent to a supreme weapon.
