With the Riftspace Mirror, Pei Ling could easily copy a Minor Secret Realm and use it to project the scenery of Blue Star.
Qiao Ranran brightened at once.
Then she gazed at the azure planet, as though it were the most beautiful jewel in the universe, and smiled. "Are we going back to the Profound Heart Sect?"
With his current cultivation, Pei Ling could break through the boundary and ascend to the Upper Realm directly. But he clearly would not leave Qiao Ranran alone on the Tianyuan Continent. And given how effortlessly he had advanced to Tribulation Transcendence, the Heavenly Dao probably no longer dared send down Tribulation Lightning to make trouble for him.
After all, the previous lightning tribulations had become a joke.
"We're not going back to the Profound Heart Sect."
"Huh?"
"I made a deal with the Heavenly Dao. There are some things I need to do."
The Heavenly Dao could no longer trouble Pei Ling, but if someone with his cultivation remained on the Tianyuan Continent for too long, he could easily destabilize it. Nor could he suppress his cultivation at the peak of Tribulation Transcendence forever.
No one on the Tianyuan Continent had successfully ascended in all these years because the Heavenly Steps had been severed after the War of Gods and Demons.
The Heavenly Dao would no longer interfere with the Tianyuan Continent's fate, on the condition that Pei Ling helped rebuild the Heavenly Steps. It was hardly a deal. Pei Ling could already ascend to the Upper Realm without them, but those who came after him, including Qiao Ranran, would need to undergo the Heavenly Steps' tempering before they could truly attain the Dao and ascend.
