Chapter 716 - 715: Accelerating Forward! Reaching the Spirit Realm in 3 Days

Hearing what Immortal Venerable Shi Xi said,

Chu Sheng shot into the air with a WHOOSH, panicked.

"Immortal Venerable, what’s going on?"

"What’s wrong with the Little Empress?"

Chu Sheng’s voice was filled with urgency and concern.

Immortal Venerable Shi Xi shook her head.

"I can’t divine the specific details."

"I only divined that Gu Yuexi will be in mortal danger in three days."

"If we can’t get there in time, she might actually die."

Chu Sheng flew back and forth in mid-air frantically.

Like a mosquito on a hot griddle.

"Immortal Venerable, is there any way to get to the Spirit Realm faster?"

"A month is too long!"

"Three days! We have to get there in three days!"

Immortal Venerable Shi Xi nodded.

"There is a way."

"You can use the Space Law to travel rapidly through the spatial channel."

"That would shorten the time considerably."

Chu Sheng paused.

A moment later, it clicked.

"Of course!"

"How did I not think of that!"

He was just about to unfurl his Boundless Wings and make a spatial jump,

but Immortal Venerable Shi Xi urgently stopped him.

"You can’t use spatial teleportation directly inside the channel."

"The channel is filled with violent spatial turbulence."

"If you do, the turbulence will tear you to shreds."

"Then what should I do?"

Chu Sheng asked anxiously.

"I can’t just stand by and watch the Little Empress die!"

Immortal Venerable Shi Xi pointed to the nearby Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, which were piled up into ten massive mountains.

"You can use these resources to withstand the backlash from spatial teleportation."

"Use the Energy from the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures to counteract the damage from the spatial turbulence."

"It will consume a vast amount of resources, but it will ensure your safety."

Chu Sheng nodded.

"Got it."

"As long as I can save the Little Empress, what do a few resources matter!"

First, with a thought,

he recalled the big black dog to his Beast Pet Space.

Then, he found the Illusion Sea Spirit Emperor, the Poison Emperor, and He Luo Tianshi.

He gave them a quick word.

"I have something urgent to attend to, so I’m going on ahead."

"You all can just continue teleporting at a normal pace."

After saying that,

Chu Sheng took out all his Heavenly and Earthly Treasures

and began to shuttle rapidly through the spatial channel.

With every spatial jump,

a large amount of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures turned to dust,

consumed to counteract the backlash from the spatial turbulence.

Chu Sheng didn’t dare to pause for even a second.

He pushed forward with all his might, racing toward the Spirit Realm.

However,

the ten mountains’ worth of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures were quickly consumed.

But Chu Sheng was only halfway there.

"Immortal Venerable, I’m out of resources. What now?"

Chu Sheng looked at his empty Primordial Grotto Heaven,

his compound eyes filled with worry.

Immortal Venerable Shi Xi reminded him,

"You’ve collected a lot of divinity, haven’t you?"

"Divinity is the crystallized Origin of a Divine Realm expert."

"It’s more effective than any Heavenly and Earthly Treasure."

Chu Sheng tapped his front legs together.

"Of course!"

"How could I have forgotten!"

Without a moment’s hesitation,

Chu Sheng took out all 283 of his divinities.

He used them all in one go to resist the backlash from spatial teleportation.

The Energy from divinity was, as expected, far more potent than that of the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

Each unit of divinity could sustain him through several long-distance spatial jumps.

In the end,

he consumed every resource he had acquired on Blue Star.

Not a single unit of divinity remained.

Finally, on the third day, he burst out of the spatial channel.

The sight that greeted him

was a continuous mountain range towering into the clouds.

It was wreathed in clouds and mist, exuding an ethereal, immortal aura.

At the foot of the mountains,

a massive sect gate stood tall.

Above the sect gate,

the words "Celestial Derivation Sect" were inscribed, powerful and vigorous.

They emanated an ancient and majestic aura.

Male and female disciples in traditional robes occasionally passed through the sect gate.

Each one possessed an extraordinary air.

Chu Sheng quietly activated his Form Transformation.

He turned into an ordinary White-striped Aedes Mosquito.

He was smaller than a fingernail.

Utterly inconspicuous.

He flapped his wings,

intending to fly directly into the Celestial Derivation Sect from over the top of the gate.

But...

THUD.

Chu Sheng slammed headfirst into a transparent Defense Barrier

and was knocked back.

He looked closely

and saw that a transparent Defense Barrier actually enveloped the entire vast mountain range!

’Holy crap, this Barrier could fit the entire Great Xia inside!’

Chu Sheng shook his head to clear it.

He was just about to use his Realm-Breaking Claw to forcibly tear the Barrier open and get inside

when two white figures

swiftly flew to his position.

"Who’s there?"

"Who’s trying to break through the Sect’s Barrier?"

It was a young man and a young woman.

Both of their Cultivations were at the Profound Understanding Realm,

the equivalent of the Emperor Realm.

To have reached this Realm at their age...

On Blue Star, they would be considered absolute prodigies.

But here at the Celestial Derivation Sect, they were merely gatekeepers.

They glanced around,

sweeping the area with their Divine Sense for a good while.

Only then did they discover that the one who had struck the Sect’s Barrier was just a tiny mosquito.

"Hmph. So it was just a mosquito,"

the young man scoffed, curling his lip in disdain.

"Gave me a start. I thought we had an enemy,"

the young woman grumbled as well.

The two didn’t give it another thought.

They turned and flew back toward the sect gate.

Chu Sheng rubbed his front legs together.

’Damn, they’re on high alert,’

he thought.

Inside the Primordial Grotto Heaven,

Immortal Venerable Shi Xi seemed to guess his thoughts and cautioned him,

"The Celestial Derivation Sect is one of the Ten Great Sects of the Spirit Realm."

"Its Mountain Protection Array was personally established by an Ancient Immortal."

"With your Cultivation at only the Divinity Transformation Realm First Layer, it’s absolutely impossible for you to break the Celestial Derivation Sect’s Mountain Protection Array."

"You could find a lone Celestial Derivation Sect disciple,"

"steal their identification Token, and then..."

Before Immortal Venerable Shi Xi could finish her suggestion,

Chu Sheng had already returned to the front of the Mountain Protection Array.

She watched as Chu Sheng extended one of his tiny front claws

and gently swiped at the Mountain Protection Array.

A tiny gap, just large enough for a single mosquito to pass through,

suddenly appeared in the Barrier.

Then, before the gatekeeping disciples could react,

Chu Sheng swiftly slipped through the gap and vanished behind the sect gate.

Immortal Venerable Shi Xi stared at this scene, utterly dumbfounded.

She was speechless for a long time.

Back on Blue Star,

she had seen Chu Sheng tear through all sorts of Barriers with ease.

But that was Blue Star!

Even the so-called Ancient Gods of the Divine Domain weren’t all that powerful.

Someone at the Profound Understanding Realm in the Spirit Realm—the equivalent of the Emperor Realm—

could defeat one of those Ancient Gods from the Divine Domain.

So, it was somewhat plausible that Chu Sheng could tear through their Barriers.

But...

the Celestial Derivation Sect was one of the Ten Great Sects of the Spirit Realm!

Its Mountain Protection Array was the handiwork of an Ancient Immortal!

’And he just... swiped it open?’

’Just like that?’

’This is too absurd!’

’Where does this leave the pride of those Immortals...’

’...now?!!’

Immortal Venerable Shi Xi opened her mouth,

but swallowed the words she was about to say.

Chu Sheng’s Realm-Breaking Claw could, in theory, tear through any Barrier.

However, the more powerful the Barrier, the longer it should take.

For a Barrier established by an Ancient Immortal,

it should have theoretically taken him at least three days just to tear a small fissure.

But Chu Sheng had more than just the Realm-Breaking Claw Skill.

After he advanced to the Divinity Transformation Realm,

the effectiveness of his unranked Skills had increased significantly.

Time Stasis, for instance, could now not only immobilize his enemies,

but also freeze time within a small pocket of Space.

In Immortal Venerable Shi Xi’s eyes,

Chu Sheng had only taken an instant.

In reality,

Chu Sheng had first used Time Stasis to freeze a finger-width patch of the Barrier.

Then, he had swiped his claw hundreds of millions of times

just to tear open that tiny crack.

Right now,

Chu Sheng’s mind was completely occupied with Gu Yuexi’s safety.

He didn’t have time to be stealing some identification Token!
