Universe Shift

At this time, Zhang Xingfeng had already gone into seclusion to cultivate, while Yu Yan was with her daughter, Leyue, and others, living a comfortable life.

Everything was arranged in the Tianxin Sect, and all thirty-six major outposts were operating normally. The core disciples of the Tianxin Sect were diligently cultivating, full of confidence in their future. Just look at the immortals who could appear in the sect at any time, and you'll know where their confidence came from!

It was still that secret room.

Ahead was still an ancient seal script character for Tao, and the other three sides were still some marks left from the previous life.

Zhang Xingfeng walked gently to the futon and slowly sat down. Suddenly, two crystals appeared in front of him. These were the energy essence of the Immortal Emperor. Now that Zhang Xingfeng's mental cultivation had greatly increased, he only needed to increase the energy in his body. In the past, Zhang Xingfeng did not dare to absorb it recklessly, but now he could.

As the Purple Gold Yuan Venerable swelled and expanded, Zhang Xingfeng unconsciously opened his mouth slightly.

"Call out..."

The Immortal Emperor's essence crystal immediately shone brightly, entering Zhang Xingfeng's body directly from his Zhang Xingfeng chakra. The dazzling white light was astonishing; it was such powerful energy!

Zhang Xingfeng's hands began to slowly materialize, suddenly appearing as if they possessed a thousand hands. The complex and profound hand seals instantly absorbed the Demon Lord's essence crystal, causing it to emit a blinding black light that filled the entire secret chamber. Zhang Xingfeng's hand seals, however, seemed to act as the sole conduit, allowing all the black light to pass directly through them into Zhang Xingfeng's body.

One originates from the upper celestial spirit, and the other from the lower Dantian. The two converge at the heart, which is the location of the Purple Gold Yuan Venerable!

The Limitless Power served as a bridge, directly absorbing and transforming the two forces. However, the Purple Gold Yuan Venerable seemed like a bottomless pit, continuously absorbing...

Time flowed on relentlessly, the Tianxin Sect grew stronger and stronger, and Zhang Xingfeng's skill level increased...

The Celestial Realm, within the Purple Cloud Realm.

Since her last return, Ziwei has never come out of the inner palace again. Even at sect gatherings, she has to send the Great Elder to meet her, because Ziwei is too ashamed to face anyone.

That double humiliation was arguably the most disgraceful thing Ziwei had ever experienced in his cultivation journey. Most importantly, it affected his identity—a ruler of the Purple Cloud Realm, an invincible being in the Immortal Realm!

He was already a late-stage Immortal Emperor, and with the added boost of the Seven Star Robe, no Immortal Emperor in the Immortal Realm could compare to him; he was invincible. That was a universally acknowledged fact. Although Ziwei herself knew that Li Qiang could defeat her, very few people in the Immortal Realm knew Li Qiang's true abilities.

The first time he was humiliated like a beggar, and the second time even his buttocks were seen by the immortals of the celestial realm!

"Kill!"

This is a secret room.

The forced encounter inside the secret room, with the single word "kill" exuding Killing Intent, made the entire room seem even more sinister.

Ziwei's ruthlessness towards Zhang Xingfeng is almost no less than that towards the Black Sun Ancestor. If her initial desire to kill Zhang Xingfeng was for the divine artifact and to eliminate a potential rival, then her current desire to kill Zhang Xingfeng is purely for revenge.

"Yu Yang. Have you prepared the 810,000 immortal crystals I asked you to?" Zi Wei's voice was extremely cold.

Immortal Lord Yuyang looked at his master and immediately said, "Master? Are we really going to activate the first formation for a mere Zhang Xingfeng?"

Ziwei suddenly sneered, "What? Is that not allowed?"

Immortal Lord Yuyang continued, "Throughout history, my Purple Cloud Realm has only used the 'Universe Shift' three times. Once was to deal with the Ten Saints of the Immortal Realm True Lord Nan Hua, and once was against a divine being. The Ten Saints of the Immortal Realm were ten Immortal Emperor -level experts. True Lord Nan Hua was not only a late-stage Immortal Emperor, but also possessed the most terrifying top-tier divine artifact, the Sky Breaking Shuttle, and the Ten Thousand Silk Fly Whisk! He was the number one expert in the Immortal Realm back then. As for the divine being, let alone him. Does Zhang Xingfeng, a mere early-stage Immortal Monarch, deserve the use of the 'Universe Shift'? You must know, 810,000 Immortal Crystals is no small amount!"

Ziwei suddenly sneered, "Yuyang, it seems you still haven't seen through him. Is Zhang Xingfeng really as simple as you think? Even with the best luck, it's impossible for him to obtain so many top-tier artifacts. And think about his cultivation speed!"

"Yes, Master, his potential is indeed great. Zhang Xingfeng appeared in the Cultivation World more than a hundred years ago. At that time, his attack power was similar to Tian Nan 'Tian Nan. Now, his attack power is comparable to that of an early-stage Immortal Emperor. But even so, it's not worth using the 'Universe Shift'!" Yu Yang still advised.

Ziwei snorted coldly and glared at Yuyang: "Hmph, what do you know? Last time, my senior brother and I attacked that kid together. Do you know how terrifying that last sword strike was? It felt just like when I faced the Fire God. I had no power to fight back at all!"

Ziwei suddenly stood up from the futon and walked to the left wall of the secret chamber, where a tattered garment hung. It was the very garment he had worn the second time he had been humiliated that day; Ziwei hadn't thrown it away, but had hung it in the secret chamber!

"Think about that cave again. In the past year, how many experts from my Purple Cloud Realm have been dispatched, but how many have succeeded? Where did that Blazing Heavenly Fire the mountain come from? Could it be that it has no origin? How could the Blazing Heavenly Fire burn like that for so long? Hmph, there are beings in the Immortal Realm who can unleash Blazing Heavenly Fire, but are there any who can unleash Blazing Heavenly Fire that covered the entire mountain? In my memory, only the Fire God could do that. It seems that Zhang Xingfeng was not truly bewitched by my Bewildering Melody. His master must really be the Fire God!"

Ziwei's face was icy. If he had known from the beginning that Zhang Xingfeng's master was the Fire God, he would never have attacked Zhang Xingfeng. But now that things had come to this, and they had completely broken off relations with Zhang Xingfeng, could he still expect Zhang Xingfeng to reconcile with him?

Moreover, even if he were willing, the entire Purple Cloud Realm would not be! After all, Ziwei had already lost too much face.

Immortal Lord Yuyang was taken aback and said, "If his master's Fire God is really like that, things will be difficult!"

Ziwei said coldly, "With such a master, of course our Purple Cloud Realm must eliminate him before any danger arises. Of course, we cannot let Zhang Xingfeng's master know that we killed Zhang Xingfeng, but how can we evade the Divine Sense of the Fire God?"

Immortal Lord Yuyang's eyes lit up, and he immediately said respectfully, "Master is wise. The 'Universe Shift' technique can indeed kill without leaving a trace. It seems that even gods would not be able to detect it. But that Fire God is too..."

Ziwei nodded and said, "The Fire God is indeed terrifying. Even gods and humans are helpless against divine fire. But he unleashed it easily. I even considered using the 'Universe Shift' to deal with him, but... but I once discovered the Fire God emerging from the Despair Star!"

Immortal Lord Yuyang was stunned and exclaimed, "What! They came from the Despair Star?"

Immortal Lord Yuyang was the only one among the Ten Radiance Immortal Lords to have come into contact with the "Universe Shift". He knew very well why the "Universe Shift" was so powerful, because the Universe Shift" was a teleportation channel that could directly transport opponents to the Despair Star.

Despair Star!

One of the three most forbidden areas in the northern region of the Cultivation World!

The Despair Star is unparalleled; no one who enters has ever returned, not even a god! As for the Purple Light Star, only Pangu has ever emerged from it throughout history. Yet, Pangu, who loved venturing into perilous places, never entered the other two great forbidden zones—the Star of Illusion and the Despair Star!

Even Pangu dared not venture into it! Just think how powerful it must be, considering that Pangu wasn't even afraid of divine fire.

Ziwei, however, recalled the time she encountered the God of Fire God.

After using the "Universe Shift" technique against True Lord Nan Hua, the number one expert in the Immortal Realm, Ziwei was in high spirits. He knew that once the "Universe Shift" was activated, it would send his opponent to the Despair Star. He went to the outer perimeter of the Despair Star alone.

He had been constantly suppressed by True Lord Nan Hua, and he couldn't lift his head no matter what.

Now that True Lord Nan Hua is gone, he has become the number one expert in the Immortal Realm. His long-awaited dream of millions of years has finally come true, and he is extremely excited.

Ziwei stared at the black planet before her, laughing maniacally, "Haha... Nanhua, Nanhua, see if you're still arrogant in front of me! Now, I am the number one person in the Immortal Realm, the number one person in the Immortal Realm... Haha..."

Just then, an old man slowly emerged from the planet.

Yes, they came out, and they came out from the Despair Star!

Ziwei was stunned. His most treasured possession in the Purple Cloud Realm was the "Universe Shift". No matter what kind of enemy he was, as long as the "Universe Shift" was used, it would directly send the enemy to the Despair Star. And the Despair Star had never disappointed him.

Even now, standing outside the Despair Star, Ziwei can feel the immense pressure it exerts on him.

But now someone has actually come out?

Does that mean "The Universe Shift" is useless?

"Oh, it's Senior! Ziwei greets Senior!" Ziwei immediately recognized the person. Of course, he didn't dare to call him "Fire God" in front of Fire God, since that was their secret address.

That was Old Man Huo.

When the Old Man Huo saw that it was Ziwei, he said, "Oh, it's you. What's wrong? I'm going inside to take a look. Am I in your way?"

Ziwei was worried that Old Man Huo might bring the Ten Saints of the Immortal Realm out, which would be disastrous. Ziwei immediately tried to find a way to ask indirectly, "Senior, I have a friend, True Lord Fengyang. He has just been trapped in this Despair Star. I wonder if Senior could bring him out?"

This Fengyang is all fictitious; Ziwei is just here to see Old Man Huo reacts.

The Old Man Huo, a careless fellow, glanced at Ziwei with disdain. "Hmph, who do you think you are? I don't have time to help you bring people out. Besides, even I can't bring people out of this Despair Star. Only by working hard can they possibly get out!"

Upon hearing this, Ziwei's heart stirred, and she continued, "Oh dear, is my good brother, True Lord Fengyang, going to come out on his own? Senior, when will he come out? I've been waiting for him for so long!"

The Old Man Huo glanced at Ziwei and said, "Little thing, trying to play tricks on me? Actually, they can't get out. Not to mention them, even gods can't get out. Besides, life on this Despair Star isn't so easy, hmph!" The Old Man Huo flashed and disappeared.

Others might not know about this Despair Star, but Old Man Huo knew it very well. This Despair Star was his good brother, a Saint Artifact transformed from one of Thunder Duke's artifacts. No one but Thunder Duke could control it. It was easy to get out; as long as one reached the level of a Heavenly God, one could get out, provided, of course, that one did not activate the divine lightning within or be killed by attacks from within the Saint Artifact!

Although Old Man Huo is a big shot, Thunder Duke is known for being incredibly cold-blooded, quite unlike his apprentice Lei De's smooth-talking personality. Thunder Duke God doesn't have many friends, and Old Man Huo, a carefree and easygoing guy, is one of Thunder Duke's few friends. However, when it comes to matters of principle, Old Man Huo can't change Thunder Duke's mind.

Within the Purple Cloud Realm, in the Purple Crape Myrtle Secret Chamber.

Upon hearing what Ziwei said, Immortal Lord Yuyang immediately said, "According to what the Fire God said, the divine beings cannot come out. We also dealt with our divine beings, but they did not come out to retaliate against us. It seems that the Fire God's words are indeed credible!"

Ziwei glanced at Yuyang and said, "Hmph, although the Fire God is arrogant, you should also know that the Fire God has never told a lie!"

How could they know that Old Man Huo held a respected position? Perhaps only Old Man Huo's nonchalant personality would appear before an immortal. As for Old Man Hei and the others, they disdained associating with immortals and therefore never appeared before them.

Old Man Huo lying?

Given Old Man Huo's status, how could he possibly lie to these immortals? He only sometimes plays around with them when he's bored. In his eyes, these immortals are like babies, posing no threat whatsoever. Old Man Huo is just playing around.

Immortal Lord Yuyang immediately said, "Well, in that case, Despair Star is quite powerful. He can deal with a god-level figure, so dealing with Zhang Xingfeng would be a piece of cake. But he has the Fire God behind him. What if the Fire God discovers this one day?"

Ziwei sneered, "What do you know? Although you know some things about the 'Universe Shift,' you don't fully understand its information. Once the 'Universe Shift' is used, it directly costs 810,000 immortal crystals to connect the enemy with the Despair Star and teleport the enemy there. In other words, even if those True Lord Nan Hua don't die in there, they won't know that it was I, Purple Cloud Realm, who dealt with them!"

Immortal Lord Yuyang's eyes lit up immediately. He sent his opponent to a dead end, but the opponent still didn't know who had made the move!

"Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! Great, Master! The Fire God also said he can't bring the person out. Hehe, if we send Zhang Xingfeng in, Zhang Xingfeng won't be able to come out either. Besides, he doesn't know that I, Purple Cloud Realm, am the murderer. Haha, moreover, the Despair Star probably isn't a safe place to stay. There's no guarantee there won't be any dangers!" Yu Yang said to Ziwei.

However, Zhang Xingfeng was unaware that Ziwei's conspiracy was still underway.
