First Entering Immortal Heaven

In the outer void, Li Qi pondered for a moment, and then he took out his Ghost Chariot.

This thing has a pretty cool design, and it can even sneak into the underworld. It's just that Li Qi hasn't had a chance to use it much. Anyway, he'll just leave it as is and use it for transportation in his daily life.

Then, using Technique Method, he flicked out a whip, gently binding the other person and hanging them behind the Ghost Chariot.

Li Qi dared not share a room with such a pampered young lady.

Otherwise, when she wakes up, she won't be able to explain herself clearly.

It's best to stay as far away from this kind of spoiled young lady as possible. Don't provoke her too much. If you share a room with her, she might cause you trouble later.

Sigh, I miss rabbits.

I haven't seen her in so many years, I Anxin with my own wife.

Being by her side brought Li Qi a lot of peace of mind, but unfortunately it didn't work, as Shen Shuibi also had her own mission.

We're all adults, so we naturally understand these principles and won't complain.

But upon seeing a young lady like Yao Ji, Li Qi couldn't help but think of his own wife.

Well...

Well...!!!

Li Qi sighed three times in succession, then steered the Ghost Chariot and began to speed through the void, flying towards the location of the two pulsars.

By estimating the flash rate of the signal transmission of pulsars, one can determine the relative distance between oneself and two pulsars, thus avoiding getting lost.

This is also a common way to find your way in the outer void.

There was no light from pulsars before, but after Li Qi interfered with reality and determined the future, the light from pulsars appeared.

This didn't appear out of thin air; rather, it was something that 'had a low probability of occurring,' but we just hadn't encountered it before. However, with Li Qi's intervention, this low-probability event was brought to the fore.

Then, light appeared, as if it had been there since countless years ago, only not yet transmitted here.

Li Qi's arrival caused the light to shift slightly from its source and then, with a small probability, reach this place.

This is because by choosing the future, the 'cause' changes, which in turn causes the 'effect' to change, so the 'light' that didn't exist before appears out of thin air.

Li Qi changed reality, and even altered a part of history.

It's strange, but that's the truth. This is the third-grade technique that Li Qi comprehended, and it's that powerful.

In the void, time slowly passed. Li Qi drove the Ghost Chariot at a speed thousands of times faster than the Heavenly Way Limit, slowly making his way through the void.

It is indeed slow. Although the speed has reached thousands of times the Heavenly Way Limit, the distance is still very far. It will most likely take several years to reach the destination.

There was nothing we could do; Zhu Fengdan had run away. She should have arrived much earlier.

Time passed little by little, and a little over a year had gone by. Li Qi had traveled about a quarter of the distance, covering a distance of nearly 10,000 light-years.

But at that moment, a voice suddenly reached Li Qi's ears.

"Your Divine Ability is close to that of a third-grade cultivator. You're quite capable. But why did you keep me chained up outside?"

Li Qi turned around and saw that Yao Ji had already woken up.

I slept for a year... what can I say?

All I can say is that it truly lives up to its name as a mountain spirit.

"Miss Yao Ji, my carriage is not clean, so please don't sit down. I have no choice but to accept this arrangement. Please bear with me," Li Qi said calmly.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was Li Qi's perfunctory attitude; he didn't want to get too close.

However, Yao Ji didn't seem to notice, and simply nodded. "Oh, I see. That's fine then. I'll go back to sleep."

She remained remarkably calm, not feeling that her situation was anything special. After confirming that Li Qi had found the location, she gave a slight compliment, then turned her head and fell asleep again...

Li Qi was speechless for a moment.

This kind of person wants to go on a mission with me in the First Rank World...

Teacher Zhu, why am I not as strong as you, with your fists and your courage?

Of course, Li Qi only dared to think about it.

Zhu Fengdan's side has made their move and been arrested, so I'd better be careful.

Time continued to pass, and Li Qi continued forward.

Soon, he realized that he was indeed moving closer to something extremely great, because Li Qi had already noticed something.

The void that the Liesu sent them to is very close to those two 'pulsars', only tens of thousands of light-years away.

Tens of thousands of light-years sounds like a lot, but in reality it's not that big. Li Qi can get there in a few years; they can practically be said to be 'sticking to the pulsar'.

The void they inhabited was far larger than just tens of thousands.

Based on Li Qi's calculations over the years, the radius of the void surrounding those two pulsars is at least three billion light-years.

A massive void with a radius of three billion light-years.

Even at Li Qi's rapid pace, covering 10,000 light-years a year, it would take him 30,000 years to escape this void.

Who the hell would spend 30,000 years wandering in the outer void for no reason?!

Moreover, this is Li Qi, whose speed is extremely fast. If it were an ordinary fifth-grade, or even a sixth- or seventh-grade World-Class Giant Ship, it would be considered fast if it had ten times the Heavenly Way Limit.

In other words, it would take them 60 million years to cross this huge cavity.

Sixty million years.

That's enough time for mice to evolve into humanoid species. It's only been 65 million years since dinosaurs went extinct and evolved into humans. Many worlds have fallen, and countless civilizations have experienced rise and fall. So, for the ordinary world, traversing this enormous void is not feasible.

But! Remember, but!

A void of this magnitude would be impossible under normal circumstances. Gravity forms a fibrous network structure, and there must be voids at the center of the network. However, the fibers are very dense. Generally speaking, a void spanning tens of millions of light-years is already considered extremely large.

A radius of three billion light-years, or a diameter of six billion light-years, is a terrifying span, so terrifying that Li Qi couldn't even imagine what this distance represented...

The Milky Way has a diameter of 100,000 light-years. It would take 100,000 Milky Way lined up side by side to form a line.

Its terrifying size was so great that Li Qi could even vaguely draw a conclusion—

That is, this void is definitely not a natural occurrence.

This is a man-made void. As can be seen from Zhu Fengdan's previous description of 'Xiantian', 'Xiantian' is extremely xenophobic and does not like the outside world, especially the world.

Therefore, for a First Rank World, it seems logical to simply sweep away all the worlds within six billion light-years around itself and create a huge void centered on itself.

They have the ability and the reason to do this.

This made Li Qi's heart skip a beat.

Six billion light-years! How many worlds would that be? And how many civilizations?

The Celestial Realm... no wonder it's the world Zhu Fengdan specifically called 'unfriendly'.

Simply because of xenophobia, they didn't want to have any contact with the outside world, so they cleared out so many places to give themselves some 'peace and quiet'.

This is really...

Li Qi shook his head.

No wonder they wanted to start with people like me and Yao Ji, or even just me and Yao Ji – it was all because of this.

After all, it is First Rank World the highest order, and it must have its own way of doing things. Even if it is fierce or even barbaric, it still has its own understanding and perspective on the world.

With that thought in mind, he continued forward.

Soon, Li Qi was getting closer and closer to the pulsar.

Before long, he suddenly saw... a huge continent.

That's right, it's mainland China.

Upon seeing that continent, Li Qi suddenly realized where all the matter within a radius of six billion light-years had gone.

Immortal Heaven, this is 'Immortal Heaven'.

This is similar to the world, a huge continent with a distance measured in light-years, and it floats in the void, only surrounded by a thin layer of world barrier.

This... is the Celestial Realm?

Is the Immortal Realm really such a vast continent?

No, this shouldn't be the Celestial Realm; this is the outer perimeter of the Celestial Realm.

The massive restriction exerted a heavy sense of oppression on Li Qi, even though he was actually several light-years away.

However, several light-years is actually quite close.

"What terrifying pressure! No wonder it's First Rank World." At this moment, Yao Ji suddenly spoke again.

Li Qi turned his head and saw that she was awake again.

However, we've arrived at our destination; it's time to wake up.

"Li Qi, put me down," Yao Ji said naturally. "I'll explain to you what we're going to do."

For some reason, Li Qi always felt that this woman was particularly easy to provoke him.

I really want to hit her.

But since they would be colleagues later, and he still needed to show his excellence to Xiantian, he didn't say much. He reached out and released the Technique Method, grabbing Yao Ji and putting her on the Ghost Chariot.

"Yao Ji, what are your thoughts? I saw you commenting on my Technique Method, my teacher's Technique Method, and the restrictions here. You seem to know a lot about these things," Li Qi said.

As always, Yao Ji maintained that ordinary, understated arrogance.

It was a casual, nonchalant air about her. She didn't deliberately pretend to be rich or arrogant, but her unconscious words and actions gave people a sense of superiority.

So she replied, "I don't have any opinion, they're just petty tricks. Let's just go in."

Li Qi nodded slightly.

He believed it.

So the Ghost Chariot accelerated, quickly breaking through the last few light-years of distance, and arrived outside the world barrier of this continent.

This world barrier is clearly man-made.

Yao Ji glanced at the world barrier. "This barrier isolates gravity. The abnormal gravity around us is because of this thing. Apart from some natural celestial bodies formed by the surrounding debris, all other matter has entered the interior. Let's go in too."

As she spoke, she casually waved her hand.

The world's barriers were then breached.

Li Qi glanced at Yao Ji with a strange expression.

What a brilliant move! World barriers are extremely difficult to break, especially one created by First Rank World, yet it was opened in an instant.

"Quickly," Yao Ji ordered.

Li Qi then drove the Ghost Chariot into it.

Upon entering, Li Qi immediately sensed a special power.

Gravity has disappeared.

No, gravity didn't disappear; it simply shifted downwards.

This "down" refers to the mainland below.

Still not right, gravity has disappeared!

Gravity is likely caused by mass; it's a manifestation of larger masses attracting smaller masses.

But at this moment, this downward force does not change because of 'mass'; it simply moves downwards.

Even if you land on the other side of this continent, you will still fall 'down' instead of standing on the other side, upside down.

Up and down are fixed here.

Just as Li Qi was wondering, Yao Ji spoke up, "Earth's Magnetic Force, a force completely different from gravity, isn't it interesting? This is a direction set up by humans. Let's go down."

"Don't worry about anything else. This is the Celestial Realm. No one will come to greet us. Besides, they probably already know we're here. Let's just go down and do our own thing."

Li Qi frowned. "If we don't have a target, what are we going down there for?"

"Do whatever you want. Didn't Zhu Laosan tell you? We're here to showcase ourselves. We don't need to say anything. People will see for themselves," Yao Ji said calmly.

Li Qi nodded slightly.

That's understandable, so let's leave it at that.

As they spoke, the Ghost Chariot landed on the edge of the continent.

The extent of this continent is measured in light-years, so it's impossible to go too far inland; you can only stop at the edge.

The Heavenly Way Limit truly became the 'limit' here. The Heavenly Dao here possessed an oppressive force almost equal to that of the entire world. Li Qi could not easily change the upper limit, so this was all he could do.

Upon landing, Li Qi looked around.

The place where they landed was a forest, where the Heaven and Earth Great Source was relatively weak, and there were no places of particularly high quality.

"This should be the mortal realm. Let's continue towards the center and find a way to enter the 'True World' first," Li Qi said to Yao Ji beside him.

"It's simple. The Great Dao will definitely change within the scope of the True World. We just need to find the weak points of the Great Dao in the mortal realm, or simply find a seventh-rank cultivator who is about to be exiled to the True World to mine," Yao Ji said.

"That's certainly feasible. Let's find a crowded place, look for the seventh-rank cultivator who is about to ascend, and follow him to the True World. Let me Qi Gazing and observe where the Qi is gathering." Li Qi said, activating his Qi Gazing vision to search for the gathering place of Qi.

Generally speaking, a large accumulation of qi indicates that there is a lot of life in that place. No matter what kind of life it is, there must be a leader. If all else fails, then just give birth to a seventh-rank being. This is not a difficult task for Li Qi.

However, before Li Qi could find it, he saw Yao Ji bend down and take off her shoes.

Yao Ji nodded in agreement and took off her shoes. "Okay, but I've been in the void for too long, so I need to wash up. Could you wash my clothes and shoes for me? I'll need to wear them later."

She said it very naturally.

Li Qi hardened his fist.

Xia Li Qi was truly convinced.

Yao Ji, from beginning to end, never treated herself like a human being.
