As thunderclouds appeared over Eternal City, Li Yanran had also successfully broken through to Emperor Above Realm.
Chen Changan and the others had officially embarked on their journey to the Emperor Above Realm layer.
They traveled at full speed. With their current strength and cultivation, it took them only a month to enter the Emperor Above Realm layer.

They were clearly in the same world and the same space. So why did the layers feel as if there were boundaries, as if a barrier separated them?
