Chapter 1105 - 733: The 10th Heaven of the Mental Realm

Zhang Chen was speechless. The outcome, which seemed destined for death, was unexpectedly resolved because of the Great Heaven and Earth Environment, allowing him to be reborn from a near-death situation.

"The Great Heaven and Earth Environment is a shackle, a hindrance for those at the Ancient God-Demon level," Zhang Chen marveled silently in his heart.

"However, I still have a long way to go before breaking through to the twelfth tier. Qi Cultivation is my main cultivation technique, while the other Divine Techniques are merely Heterodox Techniques to enhance my combat power." Zhang Chen wasn’t in a hurry to worry about the shackles of the Great Heaven and Earth, as he could follow the example of the Princess and explore the future path in the Spiritual World when his cultivation could no longer improve.

"However, my Six Paths of Reincarnation is suppressed. I still need to recover it. The Six Paths of Reincarnation is extremely important, not only concerning the resurrection of Han Suzhen’s soul but also my Authority of Reincarnation." Zhang Chen pondered how he could summon back the Yin Yang Grinding Disc.

Without the suppression of that Corpse Ancestor, Zhang Chen thought he could easily summon the Six Paths of Reincarnation Grinding Disc, even across the Spiritual World. But now, with his Six Paths of Reincarnation suppressed, Zhang Chen was powerless and could only think of alternative solutions.

Just as Zhang Chen was searching for a way to reclaim the Six Paths of Reincarnation, his body suddenly stiffened, as if struck by a Body-Stabilizing Technique, leaving him unable to move. He then noticed the void where he stood starting to twist, with endless darkness surging in from the void. The Power of Space began to ripple, oscillating like the surface of water.

"What is that..." Zhang Chen looked towards the distorted space, seeing a coffin appearing in his view, from which came whispers from the Ancient Era:

"You cannot escape! Whether in the highest heavens or the Yellow Springs, I will surely capture you back."

The spatial distance was closing, the Law of Space was being altered.

Upon witnessing this, Zhang Chen was shocked: "That old Corpse Ancestor is indeed twisting the barrier between the Material Realm and the Spiritual World, trying to pull me into the Spiritual World from the Material Realm. His strength is unbelievably defying; even a Princess couldn’t achieve such a level!"

Zhang Chen felt a pulling and absorbing force emanating from the twisted void around him, threatening to draw him in at any moment. His entire body was immobilized, unable to move at all.

"These old folks are truly terrifying. I’ve gotten myself into big trouble this time. Let alone reclaiming the Six Paths of Reincarnation, I fear I might get dragged in myself," Zhang Chen turned pale with anger. Despite having countless Divine Techniques, he had no means to counter such overwhelming suppression. His body was trapped, leaving no strength for retaliation.

As the twisted space transformed into a passage, with countless dark mists forming a massive hand ready to pull Zhang Chen into the Spiritual World, suddenly, a purple-red thunderbolt streaked across Jinling City. Then the coffin beyond the spatial passage crackled with sparks, accompanied by a wailing cry, causing the distorted space to return to normal, and Zhang Chen’s body regained its mobility.

"Purple Cloud Divine Thunder!" Zhang Chen recognized the source of the lightning, feeling both surprise and the joy of escaping a deadly situation.

Years ago, when he traveled back in time to the Ancient Era, he had also encountered the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder, but at that time, he was the one being destroyed by it. Now, however, it had become his savior, prompting him to sigh at the capricious nature of fate.

The Purple Cloud Divine Thunder is the power of protection of the Great World, safeguarding all order in the Great World. Any interference from the Spiritual World in the Material Realm is a violation, subject to the strike of Celestial Punishment.

The Purple Cloud Divine Thunder represents the Power of Celestial Punishment of the Great Thousand Worlds, embodying order and striking all heresies.

"Even that powerful Corpse Ancestor couldn’t withstand the power of the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder, demonstrating its dominance," Zhang Chen marveled silently, knowing he was temporarily safe. However, the Corpse Ancestor, struck by the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder, had leaked his Qi Mechanism, and would undoubtedly not let the matter rest. Eventually, he would follow causality to seek Zhang Chen in the future.

Meanwhile, at the moment the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder emerged, the entire Great Thousand World trembled, with numerous experts awakening from their cultivation, looking astonished towards the direction of Jinling City.

Qingcheng Mountain

Yellow Heaven Dao Main Altar

Within a hidden small world, a figure surrounded by divine light opened their eyes, looking towards the outer Great Heaven and Earth with an expression of disbelief: "Celestial Punishment descended? Is there still a power in this world that can provoke Celestial Punishment? It seems I need to continue hiding carefully. There are still many dangers in this world, and I must be cautious and prudent in lying low."

Kyoto

Imperial Palace

At this time, several figures walked out of a courtyard, each raising their heads to look at the purple light passing towards Jinling City, eyes filled with shock, and seemingly recalling something, they began to whisper softly.

Kyoto Zhang Family

Zhang Gaqi looked at the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder in the direction of Jinling, his body trembling like a sieve. The Purple Cloud Divine Thunder was vast and immensely masculine, particularly effective in restraining all evil spirits under Heaven and Earth. He controlled Celestial Ghosts, wielding the power of the Night Parade of Hundred Demons, specifically suppressed by Thunder Punishment.

"How could such a force appear in Jinling City? What happened in Jinling City? Is it possible that there has been some earth-shattering change?" Zhang Gaqi’s eyes revealed a hint of fear: "This power is a natural counter to me? Is there really such a power in the world?"

Zhang Gaqi’s eyes showed a mix of horror and disbelief.

In the Inspection and Supervision Department, Xie Xuan gazed at the purple thunder in the sky with both eyes, silently calculating with his fingers. After a long while, he took a deep breath: "The great change of Heaven and Earth is coming, but I don’t know if it’s good or bad."

At this moment, gazes from all over Heaven and Earth were cast towards Jinling City, filled with a complex and unclear expression.

Within Jinling City

Zhou Qiucheng walked out of the Exquisite Tower, looking at the purple Divine Thunder streaking across the sky, his eyes showing a trace of seriousness: "What a terrifying power, in the face of this power, I seem to be nothing but an ant."

All around Heaven and Earth was boiling at this moment, while Zhang Chen was plunged into distress: "What should I do? My Six Paths of Reincarnation has been taken away, how should I retrieve it?"

The Six Paths of Reincarnation are of great importance, related to Zhang Chen’s future strategies, Zhang Chen cannot afford any mistake.

"It would be great if the Princess were still here, I have all sorts of treasures, combined with the Princess’s methods, I might have a chance to reclaim the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Since the Princess can retreat safely before that old guy, combined with my various treasures, we might be able to give the opponent a hard blow." Zhang Chen felt some regret in his heart.

"Since you want to seek help from the Princess, why don’t you just go find her? Don’t you have the ability to traverse the Spiritual World? Why not catch up and ask the Princess to lend you a helping hand? Since the Princess had a great battle in the Fifth Heaven of the Spiritual World with that guy not long ago, she probably hasn’t gone too far in the Spiritual World yet, it’s not too late to catch up now." The Great Freedom Celestial Demon said beside him.

Hearing this, Zhang Chen was momentarily stunned, going to the higher heavens of the Spiritual World to find the Princess, it might just work?

If he wants to upgrade his Mental Realm, the points required aren’t overwhelming, it’s completely within Zhang Chen’s acceptable range.

Moreover, even if he fails to find the Princess, it wouldn’t be a loss for him, at worst it’s just like opening the higher-level Spiritual World passage earlier than planned.

"This plan is feasible!" Zhang Chen’s eyes shifted, looking at his Golden Finger Interface, focusing on the Mental Realm:

[Name: Zhang Chen]

[6 Skills Mental Realm (Extreme): Fifth Heaven (0/32000000)]

[Points: 1030000000]

A billion and thirty million points, a portion from what’s leftover, and a large part from the stone stele outside the Great Tomb. As for the points near the coffin, that’s the real bulk, but unfortunately, Zhang Chen doesn’t dare to get too close to collect them.

"A billion and thirty million points, based on the points needed for previous upgrades, the points required for upgrading multiply several times over. I can probably upgrade five times, entering the Tenth Heaven of the Spiritual World. And since the Princess takes a considerable time finding the Dimensional Gate in each heaven, I can likely catch up to her and intercept her." Zhang Chen calculated silently and deemed the plan feasible.

The most crucial thing is, upon entering the higher heavens, I can collect higher-level Divine Power, if I collect five units of Divine Power, I can’t even imagine how powerful my Buzhou Seal will become." Zhang Chen thought.

Moreover, with the Corpse Ancestor occupying the Tenth Heaven of the Spiritual World, Zhang Chen cannot enter the Tenth Heaven anymore to reap benefits. Now, he can only place his hope in the higher levels of Heaven and Earth.

Zhang Chen is a decisive person, after a brief simulation, he immediately invested all the points, then saw the Golden Finger Interface blur, and then the data started to clear up:

[6 Skills: Mental Realm (Extreme): Tenth Heaven (0/102000000)]

"A billion and two hundred million, the next upgrade will surely require a fortune to invest. But this upgrade, upgrading five heavens is enough for my use for quite a while. Even if I want the Divine Power within these heavens, it takes years just to travel." Zhang Chen wasn’t worried about the points issue, as long as he resolves the Corpse Ancestor, he’s not afraid there won’t be points on the opponent.

At this time, the Golden Finger Interface transmitted a stream of information, along with a warm aura poured into Zhang Chen’s body, Zhang Chen only felt his own Primordial Spirit begin to transform.

The transformation of the mind will also cause the Primordial Spirit to transform, causing it to undergo some inexplicable change. For Zhang Chen’s Primordial Spirit, it allows a clearer comprehension of the Law of Heaven and Earth, a more profound perception of the operation of Heaven and Earth, and a more sensitive grasp.

Half a day later, Zhang Chen’s Primordial Spirit finished transforming, at this time, his eyes surveyed the entire Heaven and Earth, and the previously obscure Law of Heaven and Earth now appeared clearer in his eyes, no longer as blurry as in the past. Most critically, his Primordial Spirit perception became sharper, and the power of the Primordial Spirit increased over fivefold!
