Chapter 1642: Seeking Zhongli
Taking advantage of Gao Feng and Jing Dongxue's opportunity to ascend the Immortal Bridge, Jing Yan once again used his Divine Thought to probe the Immortal Bridge.
The first time he ascended the Immortal Bridge, Jing Yan felt that the Immortal Bridge might be an Innate Treasure. After this investigation, this speculation was basically confirmed. The Immortal Bridge indeed showed no signs of being artificially refined, unlike the Quenching God Star Tower in the All Paths World.
Both Gao Feng and Jing Dongxue gained significantly from this opportunity to ascend the Immortal Bridge. Although neither of them was able to directly step into the Divine Lord Realm on the Immortal Bridge, they experienced many revelations. Their bottlenecks loosened somewhat, increasing the possibility of their future ascension to Divine Lords substantially.
One day, Jing Yan met Zhan Yue Venerable alone.
"Master, do you know the whereabouts of Dead Spirit Mountain Master Zhongli?" Jing Yan asked Zhan Yue Venerable.
When Jing Yan first arrived in the God Realm, Zhongli dispatched strong practitioners from Dead Spirit Mountain to the Luli Divine Domain to apprehend Jing Yan. The enmity between them extended back to the Low-class World.
However, as Jing Yan's strength increased, when he gained the ability to effortlessly crush Zhongli's power, his hatred towards Zhongli was not as intense as it was at the beginning. Though Zhongli was expelled from his sect, the death of the Death Temple's master had no direct connection to Zhongli, so Jing Yan was in no rush to trouble Zhongli.
This time, after returning to the Low-class World and discovering the Void Channel connecting his birthplace to the God Realm was damaged, Jing Yan specifically investigated. Utilizing the Space Law to recreate the scene, he discovered that those who damaged the Void Channel were again from Dead Spirit Mountain. Why did the people of Dead Spirit Mountain do this? Clearly, Zhongli was behind it.
Indeed, it was Zhongli's instruction to destroy the Void Channel. However, when Zhongli gave this order, Jing Yan wasn't yet that strong. Zhongli was trapped in a dangerous area of Chaos and unable to leave, yet he continued to harbor intense hatred toward Jing Yan. Unable to confront him directly, Zhongli used all sorts of methods to trouble Jing Yan, even targeting Jing Yan's birthplace in the Low-class World.
This time, Jing Yan planned to confront Zhongli.
