1077: Cross-border

“This is already the sixth report today!”

In the Xuantian Sacred Ground Branch in Wanshou City, Qing Yunzi’s face was grim, and his eyes showed annoyance.

The Dead Spirit Race wasn't causing trouble for the Human Race at the moment, but various wild beasts, Spirit Beasts, and Demonic Beasts, mutated by the power of the Dead Spirit, were popping out one after another.

“Grand Elder!”

“Chu Kunlun, the Old Ancestor of the Chu Royal Family, has sent a message. The Demonic Beasts in the Demon Beast Forest are rioting and have begun to attack surrounding cities. Qing Shi City in Chu has nearly been overrun. He needs to remain in the country to stabilize the situation and fears he will be absent from the upcoming alliance meeting.”

Bai Yuliang stood by, reporting respectfully.

“Hmm?”

Upon hearing this, Qing Yunzi’s expression became somewhat unreadable:

“The strongest Demonic Beast in the Demon Beast Forest is only Eighth-Order. It shouldn’t be too difficult for Chu to handle with its current strength. Why would Chu Kunlun, a Ninth-Order Middle Stage expert, need to be stationed there long-term?”

“Reporting to Grand Elder, according to the information Disciple has gathered, the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm deep within the Demon Beast Forest shows signs of opening.”

“Within this Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, there are numerous Yao Race members and Eighth-Order Yao Kings. The situation inside is currently unknown, and Senior Chu Kunlun is concerned these Yao Race members might cause chaos once they emerge.”

“Is that so.”

“What a time of troubles!”

Qing Yunzi’s face showed helplessness, feeling a headache coming on.

Normally, each opening of a Heaven and Earth Secret Realm is separated by decades or even centuries. The Heaven and Earth Secret Realm in the Demon Beast Forest had only opened recently, and now it showed signs of opening again, clearly influenced by the current Heaven and Earth anomaly.

“Since that is the case, then let Chu Kunlun rest assured and remain stationed in Chu. Also, send messages to the other Holy Lands, instructing them to also pay attention to the movements of the various Heaven and Earth Secret Realms under their control.”

“Yes.”

“And…”

Bai Yuliang nodded and accepted the order. As he was about to say something more, the Heaven and Earth power in the area around Wanshou City suddenly vibrated violently.

“What happened?”

Bai Yuliang’s face changed, and he couldn’t help but blurt out the question.

But at this moment, Qing Yunzi paid him no mind. With a movement of his body, he instantly vanished from the palace.

…

One hundred li outside Wanshou City.

The space rippled like water, spreading outwards in all directions, stirring up countless Heaven and Earth powers.

Each time a ripple swept by, the ground in the surrounding area sank a bit, and all existing rocks, trees, and other objects on the surface were shredded into pieces.

However, these spatial ripples disappeared after extending beyond ten li, causing no impact on Wanshou City further away.

And upon closer observation, it could be seen that the appearance of these spatial ripples did not seem to be for destruction, but rather for… laying a foundation!

With each sweep of the spatial ripples, the ground became flatter and firmer, gradually developing a hard, rocky luster. In the end, it might even be comparable to steel.

Qing Yunzi was the first to arrive near this area. Looking at the continuously spreading spatial ripples, the solemn expression on his face actually relaxed quite a bit.

Because this area was precisely where Wang Chen had left the Netherworld.

The current anomaly meant that Wang Chen was about to return.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!

“What happened?”

“This energy fluctuation… seems to be spatial teleportation?”

“But the scale seems a bit off!”

The other Ninth-Order True Lords in Wanshou City arrived shortly after, looking at the anomaly with expressions of surprise and uncertainty.

With the current Heaven and Earth anomaly, any slight disturbance made them restless.

However…

“You all need not worry. The changes occurring here should be caused by Fellow Daoist Wang Chen.”

“All of you, prepare to welcome our ally.”

Qing Yunzi explained at this moment, then solemnly instructed the crowd.

“Yes!”

Upon hearing this, even the non-resident True Lords from outside Wanshou City present all responded loudly in unison.

After all, Wang Chen’s identity had already been revealed to the high-ranking members of the Netherworld Human Clan in recent days, and they were all mentally prepared in advance.

Furthermore, after receiving Qing Yunzi’s explanation, the expressions on the faces of many present relaxed.

The resurrection of the Mother Goddess of the Undead hung over everyone’s hearts like a dark cloud. Now, with reinforcements about to arrive, the dark cloud was about to be pierced by sunlight.

For a time, more than half of the Ninth-Order True Lords present turned and returned to Wanshou City to begin urgent preparations, while the remaining followed Qing Yunzi, waiting quietly.

Buzz buzz buzz!!

Soon, as the continuously surging spatial ripples pressed the ground as hard as iron, a black dot appeared in the Void Realm, then continuously expanded and swelled, with vast and incomparable power fluctuations surging within it.

Everyone present, even Qing Yunzi, felt a chill run down their spines upon sensing these power fluctuations.

If one were to be caught in it, they would likely be torn to shreds in an instant.

However, everyone soon realized that although this vast power was terrifying, it seemed to be controlled by someone, causing no significant damage to the surroundings and consistently maintaining itself within a limited range.

“Truly an unimaginably exquisite method!”

“A cross-world teleportation channel, with its effects only reaching a radius of ten li, is simply unimaginable!”

Qing Yunzi recalled the almost world-destroying scene caused by Wang Chen when he opened that simple cross-world teleportation channel a few days ago upon returning to Blue Star, and he couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

He couldn’t even imagine such a method.

Boom!

Just then, the Void Realm vibrated violently. Immediately after, the continuously expanding black dot seemed to reach its limit. Silver-white spatial power surged, and the next second, a gigantic teleportation gate, a thousand meters tall and over three hundred meters wide, stood towering on the ground.

Buzz buzz buzz!!

Around this gigantic teleportation gate, visible spatial ripples continuously appeared, but they were quickly smoothed out, finally falling into complete stillness.

If it weren’t for the terrifying power contained within the gate, observing it quietly at this moment, one might even mistake it for an ordinary giant door.

Such a method further shocked Qing Yunzi and everyone present.

“Get ready!”

“Fellow Daoist Wang Chen should be here soon!”

Qing Yunzi straightened his expression, instructed those beside him, and then looked solemnly at the gigantic teleportation gate.

Boom!

As the gigantic teleportation gate was established and stabilized, not long after, a vortex appeared in the very center of the teleportation gate. Immediately following, a figure enveloped in brilliant divine light emerged from it.

Divine light flickered on this figure’s body, and behind him, seven luminous orbs were arranged in a semi-circle, as if he carried seven great suns on his back, exuding an overwhelmingly terrifying Aura.

Everyone who saw this figure couldn’t help but feel their minds shaken.

That terrifying might made everyone present feel it difficult to breathe, and even Qing Yunzi felt uncomfortable.
