The ball of light was the last thing Qing Nu had left behind, and Zi Chen used it without hesitation.
The ball of light glowed brightly, and a green lotus appeared within it.
The green lotus spun within the ball of light, and rays of light shot out in all directions. At the same time, the green lotus began to expand as it spun, as if it were growing larger and larger.
"This is Qing Nu's Green Lotus Technique."
The Heaven realm cultivators all stopped in their tracks when they saw the green lotus blocking their path.
The green light emanating from the green lotus illuminated everyone's fearful expressions.
"Hmph, it seems like Qing Nu predicted your actions. She left this Green Lotus Technique for Zi Chen to use against you," Elder Rain said coldly, a trace of satisfaction flashing across his face.
Not only had they failed to obtain the Cauldron of All Creation, but they had also offended Zi Chen. Now, they had to worry about Zi Chen's retaliation in the future.
The green lotus continued to grow as it spun, until it was as large as a two-story building. The aura it exuded caused the Heaven realm cultivators to retreat in fear.
"Everyone, Zi Chen will remember this. Thank you for your 'warm hospitality'. Out of respect for Lady Qing Nu, I will return these five Pseudo Heaven realm cultivators to you. In the future, I will personally come here to resolve our grudges."
Zi Chen's voice rang out from within the tunnel, and immediately afterwards, five figures flew out from within.
Just as the five of them flew out, the green lotus, which had expanded to its limit, unleashed a terrifying aura, and the five of them were instantly shredded to pieces. At the same time, the tunnel behind them disappeared.
Zi Chen's cry of surprise could be heard from within the tunnel, and then the tunnel disappeared … … It disappeared forever.
The Heaven realm cultivators were completely dumbfounded as they stared at the tunnel that had disappeared forever. Because there was no way to chase after it.
Evidently, Qing Nu, who had protected the Boundless Sect for her entire life, had done this intentionally. Just as Elder Rain had said, Qing Nu had guessed their actions and had given Zi Chen this last resort.
For a moment, the Heaven realm cultivators' expressions were extremely complicated.
So many years had passed, but Qing Nu still didn't believe them. Or rather, Qing Nu understood them too well and had already predicted this step.
"Even though this tunnel has disappeared forever, the other factions should have similar tunnels. You can try to borrow them," Elder Rain sneered as he swept his gaze across the Heaven realm cultivators.
"Hmph."
The expressions of the Heaven Realm old men were very unsightly. After a cold snort, one of them said, "The Infinity Sect has nurtured him. I refuse to believe that he will betray the Infinity Sect when the time comes."
"You have to understand that it wasn't the Wuji Sect that nurtured Zi Chen. Even if it was, it wasn't the Wuji Sect here." Elder Rain didn't hold back.
Zi Chen had already left, and the Universal Origin Cauldron was no more. There was no point in discussing this anymore.
The flames of life burned once more. The five False Heavens whose bodies had been crushed reappeared. Their faces were devoid of color. Even though they were already safe, the five of them were still in shock.
…
…
The final explosion of the lotus had caught Zi Chen off guard. He had been forced out of the channel and into the Martial Heaven Continent.
After so many years, Zi Chen had finally returned to the Sky Martial Continent. However, he did not have the time to appreciate the scenery of the Sky Martial Continent, nor did he have the time to breathe in the air of the Sky Martial Continent.
His body was completely uncontrollably swept away by a powerful force, smashing into the Martial Heaven Continent.
"Boom!"
His head drilled directly into the ground, leaving the upper half of his body outside. At the same time, a powerful wave of energy spread out in all directions. As the ripples vibrated, the surrounding ground shattered, and cracks spread out.
Startled cries rang out through the cracks, reaching Zi Chen's ears.
Pushing off the ground with both hands, Zi Chen slowly pulled his head out of the ground. He had once been a famous figure on the Martial Heaven Continent, but now, he had returned in such a manner.
His face was covered in dust, and his robes were in tatters. He cut a sorry figure.
"Oh, is this the Martial Heaven Continent? What dense spiritual energy fluctuations."
That was Zi Chen's first impression of the Martial Heaven Continent. The spiritual energy here was at least ten thousand times denser than when he had left. This level of spiritual energy was not the slightest bit inferior to the spiritual energy of the Martial Heaven Continent.
"Such dense spiritual energy … Is this the result of the great era, or did something happen on the Martial Heaven Continent?"
Zi Chen was in a daze. He didn't notice the strange gazes of the people around him.
His sudden descent from the sky had already attracted a lot of attention. Now that Zi Chen was standing there in a daze, it caused a lot of discussion.
A carriage pulled by four spirit deer slowly appeared. When everyone saw it, their expressions changed, and they immediately retreated.
"It's the noble young master. He's come to Heavenly Sun City again."
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
"Looks like Heavenly Sun City is going to be in chaos again."
Just by looking at the carriage, they could guess the owner of the carriage. The people who had been watching Zi Chen immediately scattered. Only Zi Chen was still standing there in a daze.
Seeing the spirit deer walk forward, many people couldn't bear to see this. If this youth continued to be in a daze, there would be no chance of him waking up.
This kind of thing had happened many times in the past few years. But most of them were outsiders. This youth who had descended from the sky was clearly an outsider.
Unexpectedly, when the spirit deer arrived in front of the youth, it did not trample him. Instead, it stopped.
The carriage's curtain was lifted, and a handsome youth poked his head out. After examining Zi Chen a few times, he strangely laughed, "Little Ge 'er, didn't you want to see this funny fellow? Come and see to your heart's content."
The carriage's curtain moved slightly, and a beautiful girl appeared. She only glanced at Zi Chen once before re-entering the carriage. A trace of doubt appeared in her bright eyes. "I seem to have seen him somewhere before."
Seeing Ge 'er sit down, the youth smiled. He turned his head and shouted at Zi Chen, "Heh, kid, your funny performance today has won the favor of this noble young master. Fortunately, I'll spare your life today, and reward you with some Yuan Stones."
As he spoke, the youth took out a bag of Yuan Stones and threw it at Zi Chen. Unfortunately, it just so happened to hit Zi Chen's head, waking him up.
Shaking his head, Zi Chen looked around and found that there were many people around.
The spirit deer walked forward. Seeing that it was only at the Human stage, Zi Chen intentionally sized it up. Then, he saw the carriage being pulled by the spirit deer, as well as the youth and girl behind the carriage's curtain.
The youth was also at the Human stage. He smiled at Zi Chen with a face full of arrogance and disdain. The girl's face was beautiful. When she met Zi Chen's gaze, Zi Chen saw the doubt in her eyes.
The carriage entered the city behind Zi Chen. It was Tianyang City, but Zi Chen did not remember such a city in the Tianwu Continent.
Looking around, many people were looking at him with envy. There were also some who were looking at Zi Chen's feet, their eyes flashing with greed.
Only then did Zi Chen notice that there was a small bag of Yuan Stones under his feet. His expression immediately became startled.
"Excuse me, is this the Tianwu Continent?" Zi Chen decided to clarify everything first.
"This person must have gone stupid."
"When he fell, his head hit the ground first. He must have gone stupid."
"How could this idiot's luck be so good? Not only did he not die under the spirit deer's hooves, but he even received a reward from young master Wang Xiangui."
Discussions broke out all around once again. Many people looked at Zi Chen with a complicated expression.
With a light tap of his foot, the Yuan Stone landed in Zi Chen's hand.
Zi Chen casually tossed it to a nearby cultivator. He only had the strength of a Core Master. In Zi Chen's era, this kind of existence could be called an old monster.
A Core Master.
At this moment, this Core Master subconsciously grabbed the bag of Yuan Stones. He was startled for a moment, then a trace of ecstasy appeared on his face. He really had broken his head and turned into a fool. He even threw away his Yuan Stones.
"I won't give you this for free. Tell me, is this the Tianwu Continent?" asked Zi Chen.
"Yes, this is the Tianwu Continent."
The Core Master tightly grabbed the bag of Yuan Stones and nodded. Sensing the fiery gazes around him, he felt that his answer wasn't very satisfactory. He added, "This isn't just the Tianwu Continent. This is a holy land. The strongest power here is the Everlasting Sect, and the strongest family is the Wang family. The one who just gave you the Yuan Stones is called Wang Xiangui. He is the ninth generation great-grandson of the Everlasting Sect's master, Wang Qiong. He is deeply loved by the elders of his family. If you offend him, there will be no place for you in this holy land."
Zi Chen nodded, feeling a bit emotional. He had finally returned to the Tianwu Continent. As for his old friend, he had a ninth generation great-grandson.
Zi Chen turned to look at the city behind him. "When was this city built?"
"It's been built for over a thousand years. If you ask others, they won't necessarily know the meaning of this city. However, I've heard that the reason this city was built was to commemorate the former master of the Everlasting Sect, Zi Chen. It's said that Heavenly Yang City corresponds to lord Zi Chen's extreme Yang energy."
Under Dan Yuan's perturbed gaze, Zi Chen turned around and entered Tianyang City. Only then did Dan Yuan heave a sigh of relief. He had finally obtained the primordial stones.
…
…
Within the carriage, Ge 'er softly said, "I felt like that person just now was very familiar."
Wang Xiangui disdainfully curled his lips. "He's just a beggar. If it weren't for you, he would have already died. What's there to be familiar with a dead person?"
Ge 'er closed her eyes. She didn't say anything, but she was one hundred percent certain that she had seen this person somewhere before.
If the current Ge 'er saw Zi Chen without his miserable appearance, she would definitely recognize him.
After entering the city, Zi Chen once more saw that carriage. It wasn't very fast, but wherever it passed, it caused chaos among the merchants.
Occasionally, Wang Xiangui's complacent laughter could be heard from within the carriage.
Seeing this, Zi Chen frowned slightly. However, he didn't stop them. Instead, he followed them.
After not returning for so many years, it was a good opportunity to see the character of the current Wang family's disciples.
The carriage stopped in front of a luxurious restaurant. Wang Xiangui and that woman walked out one after the other. The waitresses of the restaurant immediately came to greet them.
During this time, there was a small interlude. Wang Xiangui's hands were placed on the two waitresses' buttocks, but the woman behind him was completely calm.
The two of them had just entered the restaurant when the entire restaurant was once more in chaos. Then one cultivator after another ran out of the front door or miserably jumped out of the windows. There were even Earth Primes present.
