Chapter 306: Passage Between Two Realms

Chapter 306 -303: Passage Between Two Realms

Early one morning, Fang Can awoke from his cultivation, stirred by a premonition.

He opened his eyes to see Liu Qingmeng sitting at his bedside. Her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, her clothes were slightly disheveled, and her deep blue eyes were fixed on him. With one hand, she hauled him to his feet.

‘Why is Senior in my room, pulling me up? And her clothes are so messy… It looks like she rushed over without a moment to spare…’

Before Fang Can could delve deeper into his thoughts, Liu Qingmeng spoke, interrupting him.

“The Sixth Turn secret realm has opened. There’s no time to wash up or get ready. You’re coming with me now.”

‘The secret realm is open?’ Fang Can was stunned for a moment, then asked, “Where is it?”

“In the sky. You’ll see it as soon as you step outside the cottage.”

As Liu Qingmeng spoke, she released her grip on Fang Can’s collar and walked outside.

Seeing this, Fang Can grabbed the Purple Rhombus Sword from beside him, slapped his mask onto his face, and ran out.

Outside the cottage, Jiejian Mountain was more bustling than ever. Disciples emerged one by one, staring blankly up at the sky as if witnessing a miracle.

A colossal rift had suddenly torn across the firmament, spanning multiple nations.

The clouds that had filled the sky were instantly shredded by a powerful torrent of air, revealing a terrifying sight above.

Fang Can strode out, and even before he was fully through the door, he saw the entire sky had been blotted out by a black curtain.

‘No… that’s not a curtain… It’s the vacuum of space!’

Fang Can’s expression was one of shock. He hurried out of the cottage and looked up to see a sapphire-blue planet floating directly overhead.

It was a massive planet, over ten thousand kilometers in diameter, similar in size to Earth.

With his excellent vision, Fang Can could faintly make out clear signs of artificial structures on the planet above.

A majestic great wall stretching for tens of thousands of miles, cities occupying dozens of square kilometers, and countless pavilions, towers, and palaces.

This was an inhabited blue planet, roughly the size of his former Earth, with a technological level likely comparable to that of the Great Derivation.

And beyond the planet, Fang Can could see the backdrop of space, where countless celestial bodies twinkled with starlight.

Above their heads was a truly real, vast, and boundless universe!

According to what Liu Qingmeng had said before, reaching the Sixth Turn required one to connect with a world outside the Martial World.

Then, they had to cover it with their own aura and restrictions, slowly eroding and blanketing that universe.

At that point, a Sixth Turn master could travel freely between the two universes, command obedience, alter physical laws, and act almost like a god.

However, after a Sixth Turn master died, a channel would tear open at the place of their demise every ten thousand years, forcibly connecting the two realms. For a short period, others would be able to travel through it.

“Don’t just stand there gawking. I’ll take you up.”

Liu Qingmeng said coldly. Her fair hand instinctively moved to interlace her fingers with Fang Can’s, but she caught herself and gently gripped his wrist instead.

The next moment, the air around them exploded as they transformed into a streak of light, shooting straight toward the heavens and the planet above.

As his body ascended, the scenery below shrank rapidly.

Fang Can looked out and saw massive streaks of light ascending from within Great Chu, Great Zhou, the Nation of Chi, and the Buddhist Nation.

The secret realm’s passage now covered all nations. Anyone who looked up could see the planet, and by simply flying upward, they could break through the barrier and reach another world.

Clearly, with the opening of the Sixth Turn secret realm, all Martial Artists aspiring to a higher Realm were surging upward like carp leaping for the dragon gate, including many Third Turn cultivators.

‘So this is the Sixth Turn…’

In the Great Derivation imperial palace, several superhumans who had just received reparations stared grimly at the planet above, feeling an inexplicable sense of powerlessness.

Perhaps superhumans had the potential to produce individuals comparable to Seventh or even Eighth Turn Martial Artists, but that would take time.

It had been less than a few centuries since the Great Collapse, which was far too young compared to the deep-rooted foundation of the Martial World.

Meanwhile, the other players and commoners were all in a daze, staring at the miracle above with the urge to prostrate themselves in worship on the spot.

Meanwhile, Liu Qingmeng carried Fang Can straight up into the sky.

After an incense stick’s worth of time, he felt a sensation of emptiness as they completely left the Martial World and entered the vacuum of space above.

No longer hindered by air resistance, their speed increased again. Soon, they saw a grand and majestic palace in front of the slowly rotating blue planet.

The palace was constructed entirely from flawless, pure-white Spiritual Jade, its surface glowing with a soft luster like moonlight, as if it were carved from a single block of Celestial Cold Jade.

The towering edifice stood over a hundred zhang tall, shaped like an inverted nine-story pagoda. The flying eaves of each layer were traced with flowing cloud patterns, silently emanating a ripple-like spiritual aura into the vacuum.

The entire palace was anchored to the rotational trajectory of the planet below, with jade steps extending from its main gate into the void.

The wide-open doors of the palace seemed to invite outsiders in, creating a strange and eerie feeling in the depths of space.

Led by Liu Qingmeng, Fang Can descended toward the palace before them.

The moment their feet touched the ground, Liu Qingmeng’s brow furrowed sharply.

“What’s wrong?” Fang Can asked hurriedly.

At the same time, other Fourth Turn cultivators who had also reached the secret realm began landing on the platform.

A burly, stubble-faced man’s expression turned incredibly sour after he landed.

“What the hell is going on? My power has dropped by nearly ten percent! And what kind of shoddy secret realm is this? It’s just floating in mid-air!”

“We are inside a Sixth Turn secret realm. For a Sixth Turn master, the rules of an entire world can be altered and suppressed. Nothing that happens here should be considered surprising.”

An old man in a black robe said in a leisurely tone:

“A Sixth Turn Heart Image is a part of the natural laws itself. We are still on the periphery. The deeper we go, the more profound the effects will become.”

“However… this also has its advantages.” The old man walked to the other side and glanced down at the planet below.

“I was worried that the Sixth Turn master’s legacy within the secret realm might have already been taken by the natives.”

“But considering how restricted we are just by entering, the natives below have probably been suppressed by the Sixth Turn’s restrictions to a level even weaker than the Transcendent Body Realm.”

As the old man spoke, a young man also descended in a flash of light. He scanned his surroundings, then glanced at his arm and said, “Even our lifespans are being suppressed. I’ve lost at least a hundred years.”

As soon as he said this, the faces of everyone present changed. Most Fourth Turn cultivators only have a lifespan of about a thousand years; how could they lose a century just by landing?

For a moment, several Martial Artists who were about to land all stopped in their tracks, hovering outside the jade platform and looking down with hesitation.

At the same time, the old man, his face grim, also floated back up, preparing to retreat for the time being.

“Don’t worry,” the young man explained, sensing the flow of time. “This is merely a suppression by the Heart Image’s rules. Your lifespan will be restored the moment you leave.”

“Besides, the lifespan isn’t simply disappearing. It’s being converted into cultivation efficiency. The more your lifespan is suppressed, the faster your cultivation speed becomes.”
