Preparing for the Divine Platform

This time, five people came together, three of whom were Cultivator at the Void Heaven Realm.

This was because, as Chang Beilong had said, the people in this Mountain were proficient in Sword Dao and Array Dao, both of which were methods of killing and far more terrifying than one plus one equals two.

Since Chang Beilong mentioned it at the conference, Heavenly Hero Divine General had no choice but to take it seriously; otherwise, if everyone followed suit, Human Heart would collapse.

So, only two days have passed, but we took the time to come here and check it out.

However, upon arriving at this place, there was no trace of the so-called Human Race Expert, nor even the Great Mountain that Chang Beilong had mentioned.

Chang Beilong himself was also somewhat taken aback. The information that came before his Split Soul was destroyed could not possibly be false. He clearly remembered that the mountain was right here. How could he have mistaken a mountain that was nearly a thousand feet tall?

He glanced to the side again, where the traces of his grandson's battle with the Two-Headed Python were still visible, indicating that he hadn't gone to the wrong place. But he had clearly fought the python right here that day, so even if the man was gone, the mountain should still be there.

"Sword Master Chang? But you've remembered the wrong location?" Heavenly Hero Divine General spoke again.

Chang Beilong forced a smile and said, "My Divine General, there was indeed a Great Mountain here that day, and a battle was fought here. This person must have known that his whereabouts had been exposed and was afraid that the Heavenly Human Sacred Hall would come looking for him, so he used Array Formation to cover his tracks. I will find him."

Everyone present possessed extraordinary cultivation. A thousand-foot- Great Mountain was no small matter. Even if it was concealed by Array Formation, it wouldn't be without a trace. However, seeing how confidently Chang Beilong spoke, they couldn't help but wonder if his array Array Formation were so profound that he had managed to hide the traces.

Heavenly Hero Divine General smiled and said, "Then please, Sword Master Chang, demonstrate your skills."

Chang Beilong stepped forward several feet, Demonic Flame surging from his body. He pressed his Sword-Finger to his brow, and when he opened his eyes, his pupils had turned a deep black, with sword light flickering within them.

This is the Void Piercing Sword Eyes he cultivated, capable of seeing through illusions and pointing directly to the essence. If there is an array here, one will surely not be able to escape this pair of eyes.

But when he scanned his surroundings, he still found no sign of Array Formation concealing him.

He refused to believe the result, and activated his internal Cultivation Method, slowly unfolding the Void Realm belonging to the Void Heaven Realm.

The Heavenly Hero Divine General and others behind him frowned slightly, not wanting to be enveloped by this Boundary Domain, and quickly retreated.

This Boundary Domain is the Boundary Domain the Divine Soul; everything within this Boundary Domain can be perceived by it.

A moment later, Chang Beilong's heart sank slightly, but he still couldn't sense any trace of it.

"Could it be that person used a mountain-moving technique to move this Great Mountain to another location?"

Chang Beilong wondered in his heart, a thousand-zhang-high mountain is no small hill, how heavy must it be, even Celestial Person Cultivator would probably find it difficult to do so?

"Fellow Daoist Friend, think about it carefully. Everyone heard what you said in the main hall. Our trip with you will only delay us a little, but it's not a big deal."

Returning empty-handed might not bother reasonable people, but if some with ulterior motives accuse the Heavenly Human Sacred Hall of favoritism, turning a blind eye to the Human Race Great Calamity, it would be difficult to explain to the world.

Heavenly Hero Divine General's words were already somewhat harsh.

Chang Beilong's face was already very ugly. He was also Void Heaven Realm Cultivator. He had led the way here, but he couldn't even find the person. Putting aside how he could explain this matter, if he really went back like this, he would definitely lose all face.

He didn't reply, but his aura exploded, Flying Sword flew up from his body, then quickly transformed into a dragon shape and slashed downwards.

Boom!

The Sword Qi struck the ground, annihilating hundreds of feet of land. Before many Demon Beast could turn into blood mist, the so-called Great Mountain remained completely unseen.

Chang Beilong unleashed two more sword strikes in a fit of rage, leveling several surrounding mountain peaks to the ground.

Suddenly, the phantom of a huge Iron Eater Beast appeared.

"Fellow citizens, although Human Race Cultivator at the Void Heaven Realm are not forbidden from entering the territory of my Iron-Eating Tribe, to destroy my mountain without cause—do you mean you don't take my Iron Eater Tribe seriously?"

The old patriarch's eyes were somewhat cold. He didn't care about the conflicts between the Human Race. Even if mountains were destroyed during a fight, it was normal. However, what Chang Beilong had just done was taboo. Although the territory of the Iron Eater Tribe was vast, it was a bit too much for a Void Heaven Realm Cultivator to go and destroy a mountain.

The aura of Celestial Person being descended, causing everyone present to tense up, especially Chang Beilong. The pressure from the Celestial Person was concentrated on him, and under the old patriarch's gaze, sweat beaded on his forehead. The invisible pressure caused the circulation of his Demonic Essence to stagnate slightly.

Heavenly Hero Divine General clasped his hands and bowed slightly, revealing a smile, saying, "Celestial Person forgive me, Heavenly Beings. I am Huo Guangyin, Divine General the Heavenly Human Sacred Hall. I have come here to find someone from my Human Race and have no intention of offending your territory."

"Has it been found?"

Never.

"Then get lost. The Iron-Eating Tribe doesn't welcome you."

Huo Guangyin Heavenly Hero Divine General, froze for a moment. He hadn't expected the Iron-Eating Tribe to be so disrespectful, directly trying to expel them. But facing Celestial Person, he dared not overstep his bounds in the slightest.

Although Bamboo Mountain doesn't often take action, his reputation is widespread. Even the Heavenly King of the Sacred Hall are very wary of him. Moreover, the Iron Eater Tribe has always been neutral. If he were angered and stood against the Human Race, he would commit a great sin.

He suppressed his displeasure and bowed, saying, "We'll leave immediately!"

Then, he gave the others a look and rode away in his escape light.

Half an hour later, the group arrived outside the territory of the Iron Eater Tribe.

Chang Beilong finally couldn't help but say, "That person must have been protected by the Iron Eater Tribe Clan. Only with the intervention of Celestial Person Being could a Great Mountain vanish without a trace!"

Heavenly Hero Divine General merely glanced at Chang Beilong and said, "Today's events arose because of Sword Master Chang. I only hope that Sword Master Chang can give the Heavenly Human Sacred Hall an explanation. Otherwise, the voices of the Cultivator in the world will be hard to silence, and if the great cause of Human Race is ruined, it will be your fault."

Then, Heavenly Hero Divine General's escape speed suddenly increased, and he disappeared without a trace.

"Alas, Brother Beilong, it was inappropriate for you to bring this up in the main hall. Right now, you should think carefully about how to find this person, otherwise the Divine General have a hard time explaining to the Sacred Hall."

Another Cultivator at the Void Heaven Realm said a few words and then rode away in his escape light.

The other two were also Divine Platform Cultivator from the Sacred Hall. They didn't say anything, but simply clasped their hands in greeting before leaving.

Only Chang Beilong remained standing on the Flying Sword, his face grim.

On the location of North Spring Mountain, the Celestial Person phantom of the old patriarch of the Iron Eater Tribe condensed towards the center, transforming into a two-meter-tall Iron Eater Beast standing in mid-air. Its eyes gleamed as it looked towards the original location of North Spring Mountain.

Its real reason for coming here was to take the opportunity to see this place for itself.

The Heavenly Human Divine Sense probed down, merging with this Void. It could vaguely sense some traces, but could not determine the actual location of the mountain hidden here. Unless the Celestial Person used its power to break through this space, it could determine the location, but it did not intend to do so.

That mountain was too peculiar; even it couldn't fathom its secrets. This made it somewhat wary and unwilling to provoke conflict, especially since the other party had paid the rent and abided by the rules of the Iron Eater Tribe.

A moment later, the fragmented Split Soul dissipated, and the place returned to tranquility.

Standing atop the mountain peak, Gu Yuanqing's divine light faded, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Even after merging with North Spring Mountain, he could still sense the Outer Realm scenery.

Chang Beilong was indeed not dead. What he killed that day was only Avatar. Unexpectedly, he actually brought along Divine General from the Heavenly Human Sacred Hall.

Fortunately, we have made some progress in recent days, North Spring Mountain has disappeared into the Void; otherwise, a great battle would have been unavoidable today.

Today's encounter put his mind at ease. At least for now, after North Spring Mountain disappeared into the Void, the Void Heaven Realm was indeed helpless against North Spring Mountain, and could not even find its trace.

The Iron Eater Beast from the Heavenly Human Realm did pose a threat to him, but fortunately, it did not make any further moves.

At this moment, the state of North Spring Mountain seemed even more peculiar to Gu Yuanqing.

According to his understanding, after disappearing, he would be isolated from the Demon Realm Space, and the absorption of Demonic Qi by North Spring Mountain would definitely be affected.

In reality, this is not the case; the Demonic Qi of the Demon Realm continues to be transformed into Spiritual Qi by North Spring Mountain.

"It seems my understanding of the Way of Space and of North Spring Mountain is still only superficial."

With North Spring Mountain finally settling down, he once again devoted all his time to the path of cultivation. Strictly speaking, even North Spring Mountain was still just an external thing; he truly relied entirely on his own cultivation.

At this moment, I felt like a spirit bound to the earth in a movie, almost invincible in the Mountain, yet afraid to venture out, which was ultimately quite frustrating.

He set a goal for himself: to achieve the state of being Celestial Person, for only in this way could he be considered truly free.

He circulated his Cultivation Method, Green Mountain Phantom to suppress his Physical Body, and began practicing his fist techniques in the Courtyard once more.

The path of cultivation is like a towering building, which must be built step by step from the foundation. What needs to be done now is to hone this Physical Body to the limit of the Dao Fire Realm.

Time passed slowly, and seven days later, his entire body radiated golden light, and his muscles and fascia became as firm and delicate as warm jade.

He summoned the fragments of the short knife he had obtained from Zuo Qiu, and with a forceful cut, only a faint white mark was left on his skin.

This was the result of him not using his Cultivation Method but Empowerment his True Essence; his Physical Body was already a level above Zuo Qiu's original form.

"Now that I'm in the Floating World, even if I just stand there and let others hit me, I doubt many could hurt me."

However, he did not stop there. His Physical Body had not yet reached its limit, but the progress had slowed down, so he no longer needed to focus all his attention on his Physical Body.

"For the Dao Fire to break through to the Divine Platform, all three must reach this level of Perfection: the Physical Body, the divine Divine Soul, and the Dao Resonance."

In fact, compared with others, all three of my abilities have surpassed those at the Dao Fire Peak. However, precisely because my foundation is so solid, the Transformation of my Divine Soul requires even more, and I should be more cautious in forging my Divine Platform.

I am far from reaching my limit, and I lack more experience and refinement. I need more time to hone my skills. Breaking through to the Divine Platform Realm Yin Wind Tribulation involves the Yin Wind Tribulation, which is different from the Yin Fire Tribulation. It requires tempering the Divine Soul Tempering with the Yin Wind, and only by relying on myself can I overcome it.

In the days that followed, in addition to his daily cultivation, he began to truly prepare for breaking through to the Divine Platform Realm heavenly materials and earthly treasures, which included Cultivation Method and acquiring rare and precious materials for forging the Divine Platform.

There are specific considerations here. The items used must be compatible with one's own Cultivation Method, physique, and Divine Soul. Only by combining them optimally can one achieve twice the result with half the effort in future cultivation.

He took out all the items that nurtured his Divine Soul from his Storage Ring and immersed his divine Divine Sense into them to sense which of these items were more suitable for him.

At the same time, the search for more such precious materials was also put on the agenda.

"I have two options now: one is within the Floating World, and the other is the Demon Realm. The Demon Realm currently in turmoil, so it's not suitable for me to show myself. I'll try to find something within the Floating World first. Although this Boundary Domain is barren, I should be able to find some resources there, right?"
