However, accomplishing this still required sufficient strength.
Crossing the Outer Realm Membrane into the Void Beyond the Realm had always been an exceptionally dangerous undertaking.
Should cultivators encounter those powerful gale winds while crossing the Outer Realm Membrane, they could easily be swept Beyond the Nine Heavens, lose their way in the Void Beyond the Realm, and find it difficult to return to the Huayang Realm. They could only drift through the void for the rest of their lives.
Back then, Ling Zhentian and the others trapped in Ziyang Heavenly Palace had largely been stranded beyond the heavens for this very reason, unable to free themselves.
When Song Qingming had accidentally fallen into the Void Beyond the Realm, he had also experienced the might of those outer-realm gale winds.
Even Nascent Soul Cultivators found it difficult to survive for long in such an environment. Once swept away by the gale winds, one would almost certainly perish body and soul extinguished; very few could ever find their way back to the Huayang Realm.
Only Spirit Transformation Cultivators with profound cultivation like Chen Qingxuan could travel freely through the void Beyond the Nine Heavens without fearing those outer-realm gale winds.
Having witnessed the formidable divine abilities of a Spirit Transformation Cultivator this time, Song Qingming and the many cultivators traveling with him had truly broadened their horizons, their hearts surging with excitement.
Without exception, everyone chosen by the Heavenly Imperial Sect and brought along was an outstanding figure among Nascent Soul Cultivators of the same rank.
There were even talents like He Yuliang, who had successfully cultivated to the Nascent Soul Peak and advanced into the Half-step Spirit Transformation Realm.
Yet even the so-called Half-step Spirit Transformation Realm was separated from true Spirit Transformation Cultivators by a gap as vast as heaven
