Chapter 520: Weakening Seal

“I saw him. I saw the owner of the dragon building!” Jian Wang muttered with shock. 

Furion was surprised and he could not help but look to his left and right as he said. “Where? Where is he?” 

“Inside the second floor. His cultivation… I couldn’t discern his cultivation…” Jian Wang was still reeling in shock. 

“What did you say?! You failed to sense his power?!” Furion was stunned upon hearing his words. Who was Jian Wang? He was recognized as the number one in the Primordial God Realm! And now he was saying that he couldn’t discern someone’s cultivation using his spiritual perception! 

Soon, Jian Wang’s eyes regained clarity. He turned his head and stared at the stairs leading to the second floor. That silver-haired young man was able to sense his spiritual perception!

Although Jian failed to sense the other party’s power, he felt a sense of familiarity when he recalled the silver-haired young man’s golden eyes. 

One could say that the eyes are the windows of one’s soul. And those pair of calm and indifferent golden eyes that seemingly contained the universe, he swore that he had seen it before! 

“Furion, this Jiu Shen… I think I know who he is…” Jian Wang glanced at his buddy with a serious look on his face. 

“What do you mean, Brother Jian?” What is Brother Jian saying? Furion was confused as he stared at his friend. 

However, Jian Wang shook his head and refused to speak. The matter was too inconceivable. If he didn’t see the man’s eyes, he wouldn’t have been so sure about his identity. ‘So you’re still alive… Jiu Shen… Now, I know why you are hiding in this dragon building… Since you want to hide, I won’t tell anyone about your presence. Not even Furion…’

Jiu Shen furrowed his eyebrows as he stared at the closed door. 

Earlier, he discovered a fluctuation of spiritual power following behind Theia! If not for the system forcefully weakening the spiritual power, he wouldn’t be able to notice it. ‘A Celestial God Realm expert has come to my store. Among the three of them, only Jian Wang and Asmodeus have refined control of their spiritual power, but Asmodeus should be in Hell, guarding the entrance. That means it is Jian Wang! He is here!’ 

For the first time after coming back to the Primordial God Realm, Jiu Shen felt an inexplicable sense of urgency. If Jian Wang could come, that means Lao Gou could also do the same! 

Suddenly, Jiu Shen stood up and held Theia in his arms as he whispered. “Jian Wang is downstairs, we must speed up our cultivation. I think it won’t be long before Lao Gou comes to this place. The Heavenly Sword Tower must seal its gates for the time being. The Teleportation Array Formation is almost complete, I only have to inscribe the last symbols to make it work. Once it starts working, the members of the sword tower don’t need to travel on foot anymore. Inform Ren Shuang about this and have the rest of them enter the cultivation hall at once.” 

Theia could sense the urgency in his voice, so she nodded her head in understanding. She then left his embrace and went back downstairs to send his message to Ren Shuang. Now that it has come to this, they could only hasten their plans. 

Jiu Shen stared at everyone who was inside the cultivation hall. All of them were members of the Heavenly Sword Tower. They would be his aides when the time for his revenge comes! 

Jiu Shen took a deep breath and went back into lotus position with his eyes closed. 

He was still far from reaching his past cultivation, but inside the cultivation hall, his progress wouldn’t be slow! 

“I won’t come out for the next one hundred years!” He said in his heart before he drove straight into cultivation. 

One hundred years might be a long time for mortals, but to cultivators at their level, a hundred years would pass by in just a blink of the eye. Some people even spend thousands or even millions of years in seclusion! 

Spurred by the sense of urgency, Jiu Shen’s cultivation increased by leaps and bounds. With his experience, he felt no bottlenecks whatsoever. He also had the Seamless Deity Physique, a special physique that has never been seen in the Primordial God Realm!

Meanwhile, inside a different dimension. The crimson sky was blazingly hot and the dreary land filled with nothing but sand and dried-up soil became increasingly hotter. In this kind of extreme temperature, no ordinary creatures would survive! However, there were strange beings that can be seen roaming this apocalyptic land! All of them had dark skins and grotesque-looking figures. Their malevolent faces could make anyone’s skin crawl at a mere glance! 

Not far from this area, a small house made of stones can be seen. 

Sitting cross-legged inside this small house was a man who had three pairs of wings! He had long golden hair and a handsome face with an aquiline nose. If not for the long scar that blinded his right eye, he would have been perfect! 

Suddenly, the man frowned and turned his gaze behind him. 

There was a door-like rift that was covered in multiple Sealing Array Formations. The rift trembled and produced an eery cry as if it was about to shatter, but the Sealing Array Formations lit up and stabilized the rift! 

The man with long golden hair stood up and stared at the door-like rift with a frown. “I can no longer suppress the entrance. If this continues, the seal could only hold for another one hundred years! By then, the entrance leading to the Primordial God Realm would once again be opened! I’ve already consumed all my power to seal this place for millions of years… My strength has become weaker and weaker. The Infernals would use my moment of weakness to escape from this place!”

Sigh!

The man stepped out of the stone house and glanced at the crimson sky with helplessness. “Why are you doing this?” He muttered.
