Xuankong Zi swept his sleeve, wrapped Lu Heng in a stream of light, and shot straight toward the highest level of the Pill Tower.
After passing through layers of spatial restrictions and massive black iron gates, the two arrived in a small world isolated from the outside.
There was neither sun nor moon here. Above them stretched a pitch-black, boundless void, dotted with countless spheres of light condensed from stellar energy.
Beneath their feet was an enormous formation platform paved with Ten-Thousand-Year Warm Jade, spanning several hundred zhang.
The surrounding spatial barriers were incomparably sturdy, and silver Spatial Law runes could faintly be seen flowing through the void.
Xuankong Zi pointed to the center of the formation platform.
"This is a buffer zone at the edge of the Little Pill Tower, connected to the starfield. Sky Lightning Child, Xuanyi, and I jointly reinforced its spatial barriers."
"Even if your attempt to break through to Dou Zun draws heavenly phenomena, it will not affect Saint Dan City outside."
"Take this jade talisman. If you encounter danger during your breakthrough, crush it. The three of us will tear through space and come to protect you."
Xuankong Zi handed him a silver jade talisman. Without another word, he turned and stepped out of the secret realm, leaving this small world entirely to Lu Heng.
Lu Heng gripped the jade talisman tightly, stepped onto the center of the formation platform, and sat down cross-legged.
He exhaled a breath of turbid air and swiftly brushed both hands over his storage ring.
Five heavenly treasures radiating vast energy floated before him in neat formation.
Wood Attribute: a 3,200-year-old Earth Vein Azure Spirit Fruit, its azure light flowing with dense vitality.
Fire Attribute: an Extreme Yang Blazing Flame Crystal produced deep beneath the earth, crimson as blood,
