Besides his cultivation, Li Chenfeng had also obtained several immensely powerful Cultivation Methods and Dou Techniques.
These included the Meridian-Severing Sword Qi he was currently focusing on, the Duan Clan's Sun-Eroding Sword Technique, the Nie Clan's Six Frosty Techniques, and Xiong Ba's Three Absolutes Divine Skill... In Battle Through the Heavens, these techniques would possess power ranging from High Profound Tier to Earth Tier.
In addition, the two divine weapons, the Fire Qilin Sword and the Snow-Drinking Saber, were both in his possession.
However, Li Chenfeng had no intention of using the Fire Qilin Sword himself. He planned to give it to Duan Lang once the boy had matured. As for the Snow-Drinking Saber, it had now become the Snow Soul Sword...
"I wonder whether I'll still be able to return after leaving this world, and when I'll be able to come back... So, there are many things I need to arrange in advance."
Although he was a Traveler, he had lived here for so long. Moreover, Madam Ao, his mother in name, had cared for him with meticulous devotion, giving Li Chenfeng another tie to this world.
He raised his head slightly, his gaze passing through the open window toward the distant sky.
"When I return next time, it will be the day the World Society and Unparalleled City are destroyed! It will also be the day Sword Worship Villa rises!"
Li Chenfeng's heart was resolute.
No matter what, since fate had brought him here, he had to leave something behind in this world!
Having made up his mind, Li Chenfeng announced the following day that he would enter seclusion to cultivate the Meridian-Severing Sword Qi. As for Duan Lang and the others, they merely needed to continue their cultivation as usual.
The entire martial world had now completely settled down. Even without Li Chenfeng presiding over things, nothing unexpected would happen to Sword Worship Villa. Thus, Madam Ao and the others were naturally not surprised by his decision.
What they did not know was...
After this seclusion, Li Chenfeng truly had no idea whether, by the time he returned again, everything would have changed beyond recognition.
The Myriad Worlds Gate had only informed him that the time he spent living in Wind and Cloud would not affect the passage of time in the Battle Through the Heavens World. But it had not said a single word about what would happen here after he returned to Battle Through the Heavens.
Li Chenfeng felt uncertain. He did not know whether, after he spent a year or so back there, the Wind and Cloud World would already have undergone vast changes and become utterly unrecognizable.
But no matter what, he had to test it himself. It would also prepare him mentally for the many worlds he would visit in the future.
Li Chenfeng had specially prepared a place for seclusion on Lake Heart Island. There was fresh spring water to drink, and he had ordered enough food prepared for one person to last a year. From then on, unless Sword Worship Villa faced a life-or-death crisis, no one was allowed to approach the place.
Once everything had been arranged, Li Chenfeng did not delay any further. Carrying the Snow Soul Divine Sword, his personal divine weapon, he entered the secluded retreat.
When the scene shifted, he had once again arrived in that mysterious space.
The towering colossal gate still stood high enough to pierce the clouds, while Li Chenfeng appeared so tiny before it.
He glanced at the sword hanging at his waist, and finally let out a breath of relief.
It seemed that aside from small objects such as Storage Rings, large items like weapons could also enter the Myriad Worlds Gate. In that case, he could try bringing living creatures in next time.
He placed both hands against the gate, and all the strength in his body erupted...
Crack...
The enormous golden gate opened once more, and Li Chenfeng vanished again amid a sheet of golden light.
Compared to the difficulty of opening the gate before, this time was clearly much easier. He did not know whether it was because he was returning to his original world or because his strength had increased...
The golden radiance slowly vanished from the world.
Light and shadows flickered before his eyes. When Li Chenfeng opened them again, the first thing he saw was a dim lamp flame.
He turned to look around. Although the place felt extremely unfamiliar, Li Chenfeng knew that this was the inn room he had left five years ago...
Of course, in this world, he had only disappeared for an instant.
He got up and walked to the window. Opening it, he looked at the silent street outside and could not help smiling as he shook his head.
"This really is miraculous..."
Two different worlds, with unequal flows of time...
In everyone's memories in this world, he was still that twelve-year-old brat. Yet who could know that he was already a seventeen-year-old youth on the verge of adulthood?
"So, what should I do when I want to go to the Wind and Cloud World again? And how much time will have passed there?"
With that thought, Li Chenfeng hurriedly shut the window and sat down on the bed, preparing to enter the Myriad Worlds Gate's space to see whether he could find an answer.
His figure vanished again, but he reappeared in the room only moments later.
Yet Li Chenfeng's face remained filled with confusion, because only a brief moment had passed in the other world as well. Perhaps the interval had been too short, so he decided to wait another hour or two before trying again.
Throughout the entire night, Li Chenfeng tried no fewer than five times. At last, he confirmed that when he was in the Battle Through the Heavens World, time in the Wind and Cloud World passed in sync with him...
For the time being, this was good news. Still, the arrangement left him rather puzzled.
Because it was simply too unreasonable!
If the different rates of time between the two worlds were due to differences in world levels, then they should have been relative, like the saying from legends: one day in heaven, one year on earth.
But now, the differing flow of time was only one-sided. No matter how he thought about it, it made no sense.
After agonizing over it for a long while, Li Chenfeng slapped his forehead, feeling that he was simply asking for trouble!
Things such as transmigration and reincarnation, or a setting like the Myriad Worlds Gate that allowed one to travel through countless worlds, could not be explained by common sense in the first place. Trying to find common sense within something unreasonable meant either being an idiot or a fool!
After thinking it over, Li Chenfeng decided that he was neither an idiot nor a fool, so he directly banished the thought from his mind.
He walked over to the bed and looked at the ice-blue longsword lying there.
"Although the Battle Through the Heavens World is of a much higher level than Wind and Cloud, Dou Zhe cultivate Dou Qi mainly to develop themselves, and few people use weapons. Even those who possess weapons mostly use ordinary ones forged from common iron. So even in this higher-level world, my Snow Soul Divine Sword can still rank among divine weapons."
Shaking his head, Li Chenfeng stored the Snow Soul Divine Sword in his Storage Ring, then sat cross-legged on the bed and began cultivating.
The energy level of the Battle Through the Heavens World far surpassed that of Wind and Cloud. The moment Li Chenfeng entered meditation, the surging heaven and earth energy startled him because he had yet to adapt to it.
In the Wind and Cloud World, Li Chenfeng had spent five years cultivating to an energy level comparable to a Nine-Star Dou Master. If he had been in the Battle Through the Heavens World, he would probably have become a Dou Ling by now.
However, losing cultivation speed had granted him more time to cultivate. As long as Li Chenfeng could ensure that he reached a realm capable of preserving his youth before his body aged, all of this would only bring him even greater benefits!
