Decision

The Celestial Realm, the Pinnacle!

"Hahahaha... Old Man Hei, Thunder Duke, how's my apprentice? Ahahaha... I'm so happy! My apprentice is a genius, a genius!" Old Man Huo jumped up and down triumphantly, so excited that his eyes were practically squinting with laughter...

Thunder Duke exclaimed, "He's a genius! A genius that's hard to come by even in generations! How many years has he been cultivating? And now he's already comprehended the Principle of the universe! If he wanted to, he could reach the Divine Realm in just a few hundred years! Alas... why didn't I find such a disciple?"

Upon hearing this, Old Man Huo beamed with joy. Suddenly, he turned to Old Man Hei Old Man Huo said, "Hey, Old Man Hei, what do you say? How's my apprentice? Not bad? Just passable?"

The Old Man Hei put down the sculpture in his hand, raised his head and said, "Old Man Huo, sigh, your disciple is really amazing. But I think you still underestimate your disciple. You should know that your disciple may even create a Divine Realm!"

Thunder Duke and Old Man Huo were immediately startled upon hearing this.

What is the Divine Realm Codex?

The Old Man Hei's "Dark Gold Secret Canon" and "Realm of Space" are two Divine Realm treasures. Among the eight controllers, only the White Old Man and the Old Man Hei have two Divine Realm treasure-level ultimate skills, while the other six, including the Old Man, Thunder Duke, etc., only have one Divine Realm treasure-level ultimate skill!

In other words, there are ten Divine Realm realm-level secret techniques, and these were created by the ancestors of Thunder Duke and Old Man Huo's sect countless billions of years ago! They were passed down Thunder Duke their sect, not created by them!

It has been countless billions of years since the creation of the tenth Divine Realm tome-level ultimate technique. In such a long time, not even a single Divine Realm -level ultimate technique has been created; one can only imagine how difficult it is to create one! And now, the Old Man Hei says that Zhang Xingfeng can create it—how could this not surprise the Old Man Huo and the Thunder Duke?

"You're not saying my precious disciple's 'Zero Point Split Strike' might become a Divine Realm -level technique?" Old Man Huo stared at Old Man Hei, his eyes bloodshot. These old guys knew exactly what it meant to create Divine Realm -level technique. It meant that Zhang Xingfeng's future would be far beyond what Old Man Huo and his ilk were at now!

The Old Man Hei sighed, "I said possibly? Not necessarily. You know how difficult it is to create a divine technique at the level of the Divine Realm totem. Now his 'Zero Point Split Strike' has reached the fifth form. It has already broken through ordinary energy attacks and reached the realm of attacking using the Principle space. As long as his sixth form reaches the level of attacking using the Principle of time, and his seventh form breaks through both Principle of Void Breaker and time, then he will have successfully created it. However, it is already extremely difficult for him to create the fifth form. Creating the sixth and seventh forms will probably take an unknown amount of time!"

Old Man Huo immediately exclaimed with delight, "That's right, haha... My precious disciple's technique is a physical attack. There are no such treasure-level martial arts techniques in the Divine Realm right now. Great! If my disciple creates the sixth and seventh forms, then I will..." Old Man Huo seemed to be thinking about his happy life and laughed excitedly.

Thunder Duke, however, poured cold water on the idea, saying, "This Divine Realm -level ultimate technique hasn't been created for countless billions of years. You can imagine how difficult it is. The sixth form is extremely difficult; even with Zhang Xingfeng's talent, it might take him hundreds of millions of years to create it. But the seventh form is completely different from the fifth and sixth. The fifth and sixth forms completely follow and utilize Principle of the universe, but the seventh form requires breaking through the Principle of the universe. If he can't figure out the seventh form, who knows when he'll be able to come up with it!"

The Old Man Huo was immediately displeased. "What are you saying? Don't talk like that. Even if my disciple creates the sixth technique, he can still establish a sect in the Divine Realm, humph!"

Indeed, the requirement for a Celestial Venerable in the Divine Realm is to completely master the Principle of space and time in the universe. As long as Zhang Xingfeng creates the sixth technique, he can easily become a Celestial Venerable. He only needs a little time to accumulate energy in his body. With a unique skill that can reach the Celestial Venerable level, he can certainly establish a sect in the Divine Realm.

However, regardless of what these three old guys thought, they still hoped that Zhang Xingfeng could create an eleventh Divine Realm treasure-level ultimate technique!

Zhang Xingfeng seemed to still be immersed in the wonderful feeling of that moment. He hadn't used any great power; he had simply relied on his the Unseen understanding to easily break through the Heavenly God Barrier.

This is not power; it has transcended the realm of power.

Zhang Xingfeng was unaware that he had just entered the realm of comprehending the Principle of space. For a celestial being to become a Celestial Venerable, one must comprehend both the Principle of space and the Principle time. Now, Zhang Xingfeng had broken through one of them, and even created the fifth form of the Zero Point Split Strike.

"Good, good, good, truly impressive! I admire you, I admire you!" Tian Lang Yu smiled and clapped his hands.

Zhang Xingfeng looked at the Heavenly God Lang Yu in front of him with a puzzled expression. Wasn't Lang Yu just shouting and threatening him? Why was he smiling at him now?

Zhang Xingfeng watched Tian Lang Yu with growing vigilance, not believing that Tian Lang Yu would suddenly have a change of heart.

Seeing Zhang Xingfeng's wary expression, Tian Lang Yu immediately said, "Oh, don't worry, it's my fault, my fault. I repent, I've realized my mistake, I'm sorry! I'll release everyone now!" Tian Shen Lang Yu had just seen Zhang Xingfeng break the Heavenly God Shield with a single finger. What did that mean? The Heavenly God Shield was, after all, an attack at the level of a Heavenly God. How could it be broken by someone from the lower realm? In an instant, Tian Lang Yu concluded that Zhang Xingfeng must have been taught this move by that Old Man Huo.

"Alright, everyone, I apologize for what I did earlier. You can all go back now!" Tian Lang Yu said with a smile to the people of Ice City.

Zhang Xingfeng frowned and said, "What do you mean? I'm starting to suspect your intentions?"

Tian Lang Yu immediately said, "Alas, to tell you the truth, I knew who your master was as soon as I saw the Fire Blade. So I regret my actions at the beginning. I beg your forgiveness!" Tian Lang Yu was extremely cunning. He knew that if he was exposed for lying, the consequences would probably be even worse, so he simply told the truth.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xingfeng secretly believed it. "Hmm, it seems that my master's reputation has worked!"

Zhang Xingfeng immediately smiled, "Okay, I'll trust you for now. Now I'll ask you a few questions, and I hope you can tell me honestly!"

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly God Lang Yu was overjoyed and said, "Definitely, definitely! As long as I know it, I will tell you everything without hiding anything!"

"Hmm!" Zhang Xingfeng nodded with a smile. "Tell me, what exactly is going on with this Despair Star?"

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly God Lang Yu frowned, thought for a moment, and replied, "I'm not too sure about that either. But when I was taken in by the Thunder Duke, it was still the Despair Prison Realm. However, when I was cultivating there, I was surprised to find that as soon as I reached the Heavenly God realm, it seemed that the restraints disappeared in an instant, and I was able to control my own power again. Even the restraints on my Divine Sense were gone. When I scanned with my Divine Sense, I found that the place I was in was a planet, not the Despair Prison Realm of the past."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xingfeng asked in surprise, "The Despair Prison Realm, what is that?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Lang Yu laughed and said, "The Despair Prison Realm is a top-level Saint Artifact. Once you enter it, you cannot come out. Only those who reach the Heavenly Venerable Realm can come out. But I don't know why, I have only reached the Heavenly God Realm and I have already come out. According to my estimation, this Despair Star is likely only a part of the Despair Prison Realm! Otherwise, I would not be in the Despair Star, and the binding power would be reduced so much."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xingfeng was shocked. "My God, this Despair Star is already so powerful just because it's only a part of the Despair Prison Realm, then the Despair Prison Realm must be incredibly powerful! They say that only those at the Heavenly Venerable Realm can escape from the Despair Prison Realm, it's terrifying!"

Zhang Xingfeng's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked Fire Blade in his mind, "Fire Blade, if this top-tier Saint Artifact is really that powerful, then what about your power?"

Upon hearing this, Fire Blade modestly replied, "It's alright. I'm not that powerful. I'm only slightly stronger than the Despair Prison Realm. If I didn't have a master and could use my own strength, I could deal with any god below the Heavenly Venerable level. If karmic fire were injected into my body, hehe... at that time, even a Heavenly Venerable wouldn't be a threat to me!"

Zhang Xingfeng was stunned when he heard Fire Blade's humble words. He realized that the reason Fire Blade couldn't unleash his powerful attack was because he was too weak and had restricted Fire Blade's strength.

"Oh, right, I have another question for you. Can you take someone out of this Despair Star? In other words, if I give you a storage bracelet of the Saint Artifact level, and I enter it, can you take me out?"

Upon hearing this, the Celestial God Lang Yu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Of course I want this Saint Artifact- level storage bracelet, but I can't lie to you. Only those who break through to the Celestial Despair Prison Realm can leave the Despair Punishment Realm. It turns out that there are also many Celestial Gods trapped in the Despair Prison Realm in the Divine Realm. Some of them also have Saint Artifact- level storage bracelets, but they all have to cultivate diligently on their own! This is the restriction of the Despair Prison Realm!"

Tian Lang Yu suddenly laughed and said, "Hehe, that was a restriction from the Despair Prison Realm in the past. Now, the Despair Star's function has been greatly reduced. It can only bind people below the level of a Tian Shen. Maybe the Despair Star can take people out!"

Zhang Xingfeng was stunned when he heard this.

The reason he stayed here and fought with the Bull Devil King was to gather more experts to lay the foundation for the future of the Tianxin Sect. But if none of these experts could leave the Despair Star, wouldn't all of Zhang Xingfeng's efforts be wasted?

"Alright, I have nothing more to ask you. You can leave now!" Zhang Xingfeng said dejectedly. He didn't want to fight the Heavenly Lang Yu to the death. Although he had now comprehended the fifth move, who knew how powerful the Heavenly God would be if he went berserk? After all, Zhang Xingfeng wasn't even a god!

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly God Lang Yu immediately said, "Then I'll be going. See you in the Divine Realm!" The Heavenly God Lang Yu smiled at Zhang Xingfeng and then flew away.

Zhang Xingfeng turned around and looked at the destroyed city lord's mansion, smiled, and then turned to walk towards Lian Yang's mansion.

Lian Yang and the eighteen Immortal Emperor were loyal to Zhang Xingfeng had been watching from a distance. They knew that such a battle was definitely not something they could interfere with, so they all watched. Now that they saw Zhang Xingfeng coming, they immediately rushed over excitedly.

"Greetings, True Person!" The nineteen people appeared before Zhang Xingfeng at the same time and bowed.

Zhang Xingfeng walked directly towards Lian Yang's residence and said calmly, "You all come with me!"

Lian Yang and the eighteen Immortal Emperor exchanged glances and followed Zhang Xingfeng forward!

Zhang Xingfeng sat in the main seat, his brows furrowed.

The Eighteen Immortal Emperor, Lian Yang, sat quietly to the side, not daring to disturb Zhang Xingfeng's thoughts.

A long, long time passed.

Zhang Xingfeng then made his decision.

Zhang Xingfeng suddenly looked up at Lian Yang and said, "Lian Yang, I order you to recruit other Immortal Emperor to serve me. You have ten days. Recruit as many as you can. After ten days, prepare to leave Despair Star!"

"Leave Despair Star!" Lian Yang and the Eighteen Immortal Emperor exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone on the entire Despair Star wants to leave the planet of despair, but the further south they go, the greater the pressure becomes. No one can withstand such immense pressure yet, Lian Yang and the others never imagined they could leave so quickly.

"However, it's hard to say whether I can get you out. I don't know if this Despair Star is like the Despair Prison Realm, where you can only leave alone. But no matter what, I have to try!" Zhang Xingfeng told everyone about this possibility first, so that they wouldn't blame Zhang Xingfeng if they couldn't leave in the end.

"What does the True Person mean?" Lian Yang and the others had no idea about the Despair Prison Realm.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xingfeng immediately explained, "I'm telling you, this Despair Star may have restrictions, only allowing everyone to leave based on their own strength. But who knows, I might also be able to take you out, so I've decided to give it a try!"

Lian Yang immediately said, "We will try anything, even if there is only a sliver of hope. If we succeed, won't we all be able to get out?" Lian Yang and the eighteen Immortal Emperor all smiled. Although Zhang Xingfeng's suggestion was only a possibility, there was still hope no matter what!

"Alright, Lian Yang, go and take care of my business. Once you've finished, we'll set off!" Zhang Xingfeng stood up from the main seat and announced.

"Yes!" Lian Yang immediately stood up and answered, full of energy.
