As time passed, it was getting closer and closer to the re-opening of the Spirit Sea.
The entire Grand Celestial World entered a period of peace. It was the calm before the storm.
However, things were still brewing beneath the calm exterior. It was only going to get more and more intense. News from the Barren Expanses claimed that the Golden Cicada Master had appeared suddenly, and he had been traced down.
He managed to escape the ambush of the Dragons, but the Secret Spirit Sea Key that he had obtained landed in the hands of the Dragons.
As this news spread, everyone was shocked. This meant that the Dragons were almost certainly going to go into the Spirit Sea and join in the battle for the Spirit Sea.
The situation regarding the Spirit Sea became more and more confusing and unpredictable.
But to the human cultivation world in the Divine Lands, especially the Great Qin Empire, they couldn’t relax as of yet. No one knew whether the Dragons would push the Spirit Sea matter to one side and deal with the Great Qin Empire and Shi Xingyun first.
To prevent the Hades tribe from gaining an advantage, the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Great Void Sect would definitely proceed to the Spirit Sea immediately once it re-opened. The Divine Lands would be empty then, which meant that it was a great opportunity for the Dragons.
The situation in the Grand Celestial World became more and more tense.
On Mount Yujing, Lin Feng was calm as he faced the Heavenly Oyster’s Golden Pearl. Inside the Heavenly Oyster’s Gold, there was a golden light fog that surged. Amidst the golden light fog, there were streaks of purplish flowing lights flashing. They became brighter and brighter as well as more and more intense.
“The time has come…” Lin Feng’s gaze flashed. A Taiji Diagram could be seen revolving in his eyes.
He turned his attention to the horizon. The seemingly ordinary void space was filled with streaks of flowing lights in Lin Feng’s eyes. He could even hear the voices of the Great Dao in his ears.
Behind him, Zhu Yi, Wang Lin, Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing were quietly waiting.
At this point, those who possessed the Secret Spirit Sea Keys in the Grand Celestial World felt a sensation. They were jolted to their senses.
The Hades tribe in the Obsidian Realm and the Great Void Sect on Mount Baiyun were like Lin Feng. They had been waiting for this moment.
Lin Feng stood on the branch of the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree and conjured a spell with his left hand. One of his right hand finger extended to tap the Heavenly Oyster’s Golden Pearl lightly.
The Heavenly Oyster’s Golden Pearl had turned entirely purple by now. As Lin Feng tapped it, a beam of purplish radiance shot into the sky. It extended towards void space far away.
The purplish radiance flashed before disappearing instantly. It seemed to completely disappear in void space.
Lin Feng retracted his left hand at this point. His left hand finger pressed against his forehead lightly, whereas his five right hand fingers started to move. They conjured another spell.
A spot of purplish light lit up in void space. A Taiji Diagram appeared, as it was engulfed by this spot of purplish light.
The Taiji Diagram was black and white in color, and the two colors were clearly separated. As Yin and Yang intersected, the Taiji Diagram revolved. A white light shone from the center of it and expanded in all directions. At the end, the Taiji Diagram disappeared. What replaced it was a gate.
That gate subtly appeared. It seemed to be very boundless and space seemed to be overlapping.
Around the gate, there were white clouds that surging. Countless streaks of dazzling radiance shot into the sky and intersecting with one another.
The spell in Lin Feng’s right hand changed and he pointed at the gate. A streak of purplish gas rushed out from the gate and kept on shuttling upwards in void space.
As the purplish gas rushed upwards, it underwent countless changes. Its color dimmed and eventually became transparent. However, the force within the purplish gas became more and more mystical. A formless and traceless path was formed gradually.
The path extended all the way to the gate that seemed to be high up in the Nine Heavens.
Zhu Yi and the rest stood behind Lin Feng. They figured out the concepts contained within this path and seemed to comprehend some things.
As the path extended upwards, it wasn’t simply signifying a higher altitude in space. Rather, it pointed to the superiority of the concepts of this path as compared to the other concepts in the world. The higher the path, the deeper the meaning of the concepts.
When the purplish gas’s glow disappeared completely, a mystical path was presented in front of Lin Feng and the others.
Everyone could clearly see the projections of countless Great Dao principles in their spiritual altars as they stepped onto the path. They benefited greatly.
However, the sound of a sword resonated from Mount Yujing at this point.
The enchanting sounds of the Great Dao could be heard as this sword sound echoed in the air. It’s as if a conscious life had been mercilessly killed.
Lin Feng laughed slightly and saw Xuan Li standing beside him emotionlessly. She was also staring at the gate with a cold and sharp gaze in her eyes.
A special aura was exuded from the gate. It was focused on Xuan Li.
At this moment, the mystical Spirit Sea resembled a life. It was awakened from its sleep and was watching Xuan Li.
Both parties got into a conflict as their auras met each other. They wouldn’t give in to each other.
This originated from the hatred and enmity that they had for each other.
Xuan Li’s gaze was completely cold. She stared at the gate, and her gaze was like a sharp sword that infringed the boundaries of the mystical world. The sword was extending deep into the Spirit Sea and arousing the countless Great Dao concepts within.
The gate was distorting furiously at this point and streaks of radiance shot out.
“That’s why you can’t enter the Spirit Sea with me.” Lin Feng laughed. “Just stay in the Divine Lands.”
The cold look in Xuan Li’s eyes disappeared and she regained her composure. Her destructive and ferocious aura also disappeared, replaced by a calm aura.
The gate at the end of the path slowly regained its original form and stopped distorting.
Lin Feng looked at Xuan Li and said, “Take care of yourself. When I’m not around, you can only make three strikes. Remember that. Remember that.”
Xuan Li’s indifferent expression changed a little. Her lips moved slightly and she appeared a little down.
“In fact, it’s only two strikes. That’s because one strike has already been reserved.” Lin Feng laughed slightly and continued to say, “Don’t feel down. If I’m not wrong, it’ll be your time to cheer soon. You can also improve.”
“But right now, you need to exercise patience. Remember, it’s only two sword strikes.”
Xuan Lin nodded her head at Lin Feng as she heard his words. Her emotionless and cold-looking face also turned slightly gentler.
Lin Feng looked at Shi Tianhao and Luo Qingwu and said, “The both of you will stand guard in the Divine Lands. Don’t be careless.” Xiao Yan and Li Yuanfang were both in the Netherworld Sea and Ying Sea right now.
Shi Tianhao and Luo Qingwu nodded their heads in acknowledgement. Lin Feng dusted his robe before making his way up the path. Zhu Yi, Wang Lin, Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing followed him.
Besides them, the White Tiger Grand Sage also followed him into the Spirit Sea.
The White Tiger Grand Sage was flashing with a whitish-gold radiance right now. His cold and ferocious aura disappeared. He seemed like a normal tiger right now.
But even Zhu Yi and Wang Lin didn’t dare to underestimate him. That’s because the White Tiger Grand Sage had already overcome the last tribulation and completed his Cardinal Tribulations. He had ascended to the Vipralopa Stage!
A pure-blooded white tiger that reached the Vipralopa Stage was extremely powerful. He was one of the most outstanding demons in the Grand Celestial World now.
Lin Feng chose to bring the White Tiger Grand Sage into the Spirit Sea and not leave him in the Greater World.
The White Tiger Grand Sage was very pleased with his decision.
He had his own opinions on the Spirit Sea. But as he followed Lin Feng, his head wouldn’t be turned unless things changed too greatly.
The White Tiger Grand Sage was pleased to serve the Celestial Sect of Wonders as long as Lin Feng wasn’t taken down. He also managed to overcome the last tribulation peacefully over the last few years. It’s also due to the help from the Celestial Sect of Wonders.
Entering the Spirit Sea also gave him the opportunity to meet the Hades demons. This was one of his biggest wish.
The Obsidian Realm was very difficult to find. Even if the White Tiger Grand Sage wanted to attack the Hades demons, he couldn’t find them. That’s why it’s only by following Lin Feng into the Spirit Sea could his wish be fulfilled.
The bunch of them came to the gate as they walked on the path. After that, they entered through the gate.
After they just entered the gate, the vast and boundless spiritual energy quickly swept and surrounded them.
There seemed to be strips of light belts present. They started to shine as they drifted in void space.
Due to the overly-nourishing spiritual energy, everyone felt slightly numb. The scene in front of them appeared very ordinary, as if there’s nothing abnormal.
Lin Feng and the rest couldn’t hear any sound. They were presented with a mystical scene and they couldn’t help but feel that they had assimilated into this environment that they had just arrived in.
As expected, the gate closed after Lin Feng and the rest walked into the Spirit Sea.
A few streaks of light flashed past and three figures appeared in front of Lin Feng suddenly. One was a nine foot tall giant, who was the Nine Qi Avatar. Another wore a silvery-white armor and had dragon horns on his head. He was the Thunder Dragon Avatar. The last person was a youth that was bursting with energy. He was the Avatar of Ares.
Beside Lin Feng, a huge figure also appeared in front of Zhu Yi. He was filled with energy and shook the entire void space. It was the Great Sun Avatar.
The Spirit Sea was where the Great Dao returned to its origin. It was extremely mystical and unpredictable. It appeared in front of Lin Feng once again.
On Mount Baiyun right now, the Tai Yi Holy Man and the bunch of Great Void Sect elders shut their eyes. The Tai Yi Holy Man slowly said, “Let’s move.”
A huge mirror floated above him and seemed to resonate with the Spirit Sea. The Zheng Yi Holy Man, Xuan Yi Holy Man, Lin Daohan and the rest nodded their heads and followed.
In the Obsidian Realm, black lights shone in the Illusory Sun Hades’ eyes. He said in a deep voice, “The moment that we’ve been waiting for is here.”
Behind him, a bunch of Hades demons watched void space. They wore complex looks in their eyes, but they were more excited.
As the principles of Great Dao were rocked, more than one gate opened. They were connected to the Spirit Sea and the Greater World. After they opened, they shut once again.
