Zhao Hao frowned. Through his senses, he did not detect any abnormalities. He could not understand why the other party was so surprised.
Just then, Fang Xingjian’s voice rang out in Zhao Hao’s mind.
“He is looking at me.”
Zhao Hao turned his head fiercely, and it was only then that he saw Fang Xingjian standing behind him without him knowing when he had arrived there.
Then Zhao Hao struck out a punch, and a dragon’s roar rang through the world. The ether particles in the atmosphere seethed intensely. The spot where Fang Xingjian was at was instantly turned into a state of vacuum. All heat energy, light energy, and microparticles were cut off.
However, in Zhao Hao’s eyes, Fang Xingjian was still standing there unscathed.
He frowned. It was at this moment that he finally recalled Fang Xingjian’s identity. He was the mysterious man who had appeared before him and Concubine Shu in the past and then disappeared. It was from that day that his consciousness had gained many more martial art legacies.
Tang Xian’s countenance kept on changing. In fact, after obtaining the martial art legacies, both he and Huang Shan had made several guesses. However, they were unable to detect Fang Xingjian’s traces at all. They could only accept the legacies and cultivate the martial arts.
Upon seeing Fang Xingjian’s appearance, Tang Xian immediately said, “Are all these your arrangements? You’re the person behind the scenes?”
Zhao Hao also reacted. “Our martial arts… were all imparted by you?”
Fang Xingjian looked at Zhao Hao’s and Tang Xian’s gazes that were cast in his direction and said calmly, “That’s right. Previously, you guys were too weak and weren’t of much help to me. Right now, you guys can be said to be just being able to help me.”
“So that’s the case. Zhao Hao is really right. You’re really the person behind the scenes. Are you thinking of seeing us fight it out to the death, after which you’ll reap the rewards?”
As they spoke, Huang Shan slowly walked down from the Nine-Tiered Heavens. He was clearly emitting the aura of one at tier eight of the Divine level.
Tang Xian stood up as well and a similar figure also came descending down from the sky, integrating with his body. He had also reached tier eight of the Divine level.
In the Imperial Capital’s direction, the clone impersonating Zhao Hao took a step out, turning into a stream of sword light that pierced into Zhao Hao’s body, integrating into one with it. Zhao Hao had also reached tier eight of the Divine level.
“You didn’t expect that, right?” Tang Xian said as he stared ahead. “Do you think that we don’t know anything and just foolishly fight amongst ourselves?”
Zhao Hao’s expression was extremely calm, and his eyes emitted intelligence. “I know you’re very strong. But no matter how strong you are, the three of us have all reached tier eight of the Divine General. We just need an instant to destroy the Central Continent and also cause the disaster to implicate even Miracle World.
“You don’t wish to see both worlds being destroyed amidst intense explosions, right?”
It seemed that not only had the three of them entered an alliance, but they had also exchanged some information regarding Fang Xingjian. Tang Xian and Huang Shan knew that Fang Xingjian came from Miracle World.
The three of them did not think they would be able to defeat Fang Xingjian. Therefore, they wanted to rely on their capabilities as experts at tier eight of the Divine level to destroy the two worlds as a bargaining chip to threaten Fang Xingjian.
“So that’s how it is,” Fang Xingjian remarked, with no hint of surprise at all on his face. He tilted his head and said, “Mmmm, is it the Double Moons Projection? You guys went to different parallel universes together, then you discussed and came up with a plan? Thereafter, you concealed your actual bodies in other worlds and then communicated between yourselves through high-dimensional sensory abilities, only returning and exposing your actual capabilities now?
“Mmm, since that’s the case, you guys should still have left behind a clone in another parallel universe as an escape path.”
“That’s right. You won’t be able to sense our situations in another universe,” Zhao Hao said as he looked at Fang Xingjian with a grim expression. “Another thing. don’t suspect our determination. As long as you have any intention to attack, we’ll use all of our powers to attack Central Continent.
“Given our cultivation, even if we were to leak out a hint of our powers, it would be sufficient to cause the entire Central Continent’s plates to break, the mountains to collapse, and the entire continent to sink to the bottom of the sea. The tsunami created would be sufficient to engulf the entire Central Continent.
“We’ll say it one more time. We are serious.”
Fang Xingjian did not say anything, but a strong sense of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
“This is your plan?
“How pathetic.”
As Fang Xingjian spoke, he had already disappeared. The three of them was slightly stunned, and they could not understand what had happened.
At the next moment, the entire world started to spin. By the time the trio had gotten back to their senses, they realized that they had already turned into three gemstones.
Zhao Hao suddenly thought of how Fang Xingjian had not shown any reaction at all to his punch. It was then that he instantly understood what had happened.
‘We already entered his illusion from the first moment we saw him…?’
Looking at the gemstones created using three tier Divine level experts, there was no hint of joy on Fang Xingjian’s face at all. It was because he was contemplating whether he also appeared to the demonic gods like how Zhao Hao and the other two appeared to him.
After spending all that effort and displaying all the means that they could, it was still meaningless in the end.
However, Fang Xingjian quickly tossed aside all these and communicated with the three of them whom he had turned into gemstones by using his martial will. “I want to reestablish the connection between this place and the higher realm. All three of you have grasped tier eight Divine level powers and have clones left behind in the higher realm. Zhao Hao has even grasped high-dimensional sensory abilities.
“I want you guys to to use all your powers to sense your clones in the higher realm and establish a connection.”
The three of them were stunned for a moment. Then they heard Fang Xingjian continue, “If you’re able to help me locate the higher realm, I can let you guys off.”
Hearing that, the trio’s hearts skipped a beat, and Zhao Hao immediately asked, “How do we know if what you said is true?”
“You don’t have a choice.”
After a period of silence, invisible waves were released from the trio’s body. Fang Xingjian’s martial will was gradually channeled into the three gemstones, replenishing their depleted powers.
“Alright, don’t resist. Focus on sensing your clones.”
Endless amounts of quantum foam flashed and disappeared before Fang Xingjian. It was as if there were countless worlds flashing past before him, controlling the consciousness within the three gemstones. Relying on the hint of connection between their martial wills as well as Zhao Hao’s strengthened connection due to his high-dimensional sensory abilities, Fang Xingjian was able to search for the higher realm’s location through the quantum foam.
“It’s here!”
After three days and three nights, the three gemstones instantly erupted with a piercing white light. Fang Xingjian tapped out with a finger, and a bubble of quantum foam magnified instantly, turning into a big triangular gate. Fang Xingjian took a step forward and entered it.
The three gemstones floated around him. Fang Xingjian’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the brand new world that was presented before his eyes.
There was not a single cloud in the sky, and the sun revolved around a huge floating continent. The entire continent comprised of countless islands, peninsulas, and all sorts of lands that were in the world the Central Continent was in, excluding the Central Continent itself.
The ether particle density here was ten times that of Central Continent’s. The land was filled with densely-packed plants. There were all sorts of medicinal plants that were beneficial to martial arts cultivation.
Tang Xian, who had turned into a gemstone, looked at this scene and let out a sigh while saying, “We’ve arrived. This is the higher realm. We’ve found the right place.”
