Chapter 222 : Chapter 222
Chapter 222 Discovered!
【After the Lightning Tribulation, you successfully broke through to the Fifth Tribulation Realm of the Tribulation Stage!】
【You calculated the time. There was only one month left before the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth in the Canglan Realm, and now the arrow was already nocked; you had no choice but to let it fly.】
【After discussing it with Xuanyuan Tianji, you decided to take the risk and give it a try.】
【Xuanyuan Tianji told you that she would accompany you in the attempt to reach the Realm-Boundary Grand Array, but she would not follow you back to the Canglan Realm. She intended to go alone to the Weiyang Immortal Realm.】
【You chose to respect Xuanyuan Tianji’s decision.】
【At dusk, you went to find Chen Shu.】
【You told Chen Shu about your plan to leave the Qingxuan Realm.】
【When Chen Shu heard that you intended to leave the Qingxuan Realm, she was completely dumbfounded for a moment.】
【Chen Shu did not understand why you suddenly wanted to leave the Qingxuan Realm, and in any case, leaving the Qingxuan Realm was no easy matter.】
【But she quickly realized something.】
【“You’re going to Heavenly Emperor City?”】
【Chen Shu knew that if one wanted to leave the Qingxuan Realm, one had to go to Heavenly Emperor City and use the Realm-Boundary Grand Array.】
【You looked at Chen Shu and gave a heavy nod.】
【“Have you lost your mind?”】
【“That’s Heavenly Emperor City. You know perfectly well that the Upper City is the nest of the Eldritch Race. It is full of Immortal Realm members of the Eldritch Race, and there are even supreme mighty experts at the Immortal Lord Realm.”】
【“If you go there so openly now, aren’t you just courting death?”】
【Looking at the agitated Chen Shu before you, you could hear the concern in her voice.】
【You knew that Chen Shu did not want to watch helplessly as you risked your lives and walked to your deaths.】
【But you had your reasons for going.】
【Immediately afterward, you told Chen Shu about the situation in the Canglan Realm.】
【You told Chen Shu that there was only one year left before the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth in the Canglan Realm. If you did not return, your friends and the people of the Sword Pavilion would all die.】
【“You...”】
【After hearing your explanation, Chen Shu stared at you in shock, unable to say a word.】
【Chen Shu had never imagined that you had not ascended from one of the subordinate Lower Realms of the Qingxuan Realm, but had come instead from the Lower Realm of another Immortal Domain.】
【To her, this was utterly inconceivable, because from what you had said, the situation in the Canglan Realm was much the same as that of the Qingxuan Realm, and the Realm-Boundary Grand Array there could not be used normally either.】
【From Chen Shu’s point of view, she truly did not want you to leave the Qingxuan Realm. She knew that once you left, the Qingxuan Realm would be left without hope, and its future would be nothing but darkness.】
【From the look in Chen Shu’s eyes, you could read what she was thinking.】
【You told Chen Shu that, with your current strength, you were nowhere near enough to contend with the Eldritch Race, whereas the situation in the Canglan Realm was rather special: there was not a single Immortal Realm existence there.】
【Now that you had reached the Fifth Tribulation Realm of the Tribulation Stage, once you returned to the Canglan Realm, you would basically stand at the very ceiling of combat power. After the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth, once the Heavenly Venerables vanished, you would become the number one person in the Canglan Realm.】
【Suddenly, a thought sprang into your mind.】
【You asked Chen Shu whether she wanted to return to the Canglan Realm with you.】
【You told Chen Shu that in the Qingxuan Realm, her cultivation would ultimately be stuck at the Heavenly Venerable Realm, and obtaining Immortal Crystals from the Eldritch Race would be nearly impossible.】
【You told Chen Shu that in the Dead Land of the Canglan Realm, after the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth, the Power of Laws would recover, and Immortal Crystals would be produced readily. Once you had dealt with the Bizarre Insect Clan, she could cultivate there in peace and return to the Qingxuan Realm only after breaking through to the Immortal Realm, or even the Heavenly Immortal Realm.】
【After hearing this, Chen Shu was slightly taken aback, then fell into hesitation.】
【What you said about the recovery of the Power of Laws in the Canglan Realm, and the opportunity to break through to the Immortal Realm, was highly tempting to her.】
【The only thing that made Chen Shu hesitate was that she could not be certain she would be able to return to the Qingxuan Realm after leaving it.】
【After hearing Chen Shu’s concern, you told her that there was a Teleportation Array in the Myriad Demon Secret Realm, and that it was through that array that you had come to the Qingxuan Realm.】
【You told Chen Shu that although there were currently no materials in the Dead Land of the Canglan Realm capable of activating the Teleportation Array again, once the Power of Laws recovered, you should be able to gather all the necessary materials.】
【In the end, tempted by the prospect of breaking through to the Immortal Realm, Chen Shu agreed to return to the Canglan Realm with you.】
【One month later!】
【You had Chen Shu and Xuanyuan Tianji enter your Void Domain.】
【Alone, you flew toward Heavenly Emperor City.】
【This time, your plan was for you to secretly use Void Concealment and see whether you could successfully infiltrate the Upper City, then quietly enter the Realm-Boundary Grand Array without the Eldritch Race noticing.】
【At first, you had still been rather worried about this plan.】
【You were worried that after reaching the Realm-Boundary Grand Array, some special problem might make it unusable.】
【However, Xuanyuan Tianji told you not to worry.】
【Xuanyuan Tianji told you that the Realm-Boundary Grand Array activated automatically. Once you entered it, you only needed to use your Divine Sense to confirm the Immortal Domain you wanted to reach.】
【Along the way, you repeatedly used the Great Void Technique and quickly arrived at the Lower City of Heavenly Emperor City.】
【After arriving at the Lower City, you narrowed your eyes as you looked at the enormous island floating overhead.】
【Immediately afterward, you used Void Concealment and flew toward the Upper City.】
【Along the way, you encountered no obstacles at all and arrived upon the island without any hindrance.】
【After entering the Upper City, you found that the air there was filled with a faint smell of blood.】
【From the island’s outskirts, you immediately saw the towering portal.】
【You saw the illusory portal standing at the very center of the island.】
【You began to creep slowly toward the Realm-Boundary Grand Array.】
【Even while using the Divine Power Void Concealment, you remained exceedingly careful, not daring to relax in the slightest.】
【Gradually, you drew closer and closer to the Realm-Boundary Grand Array.】
【Looking at the Realm-Boundary Grand Array now within arm’s reach, your heart began to pound wildly.】
【You knew that as long as you crossed this final stretch, you would be able to return to the Canglan Realm.】
【Although the place you would return to was the Canglan Realm of the Immortal World, for you, who possessed Taixu Dragon Traversal, returning to the Lower Realm would pose no problem at all.】
【Suddenly!】
【At that moment, an eerie voice rang out in your ear.】
【“I was wondering what scent was so alluring. So a little ant has come.”】
【“Mmm~!!!”】
【“That smell!!! I have not smelled it in such a long time! It is the scent of a True Dragon Treasure Body~”】
【“How delicious~~~”】
【The moment you heard that voice, every hair on your body stood on end, and your entire body tensed into a crouch.】
【You spun around at once and found no one behind you.】
【Immediately afterward, you swept your gaze around, only to find that there was still no one there.】
【But you knew that the voice you had just heard was definitely not your imagination.】
【You knew that you had been discovered!】
