532: Upper Bound

"After this, even if there are Immortals in the Human Realm who hold a grudge against the Dongxu Immortal Mansion, we have nothing to fear!" the only Human Realm Heavenly King of the Dongxu Immortal Mansion besides Lu Chen remarked.

His name is 'Li Changming'. Before Lu Chen and Zhao Yujing emerged, he was the highest achiever in the current Dongxu Immortal Mansion, and also a former existence in the top fifteen of the Heaven's Pride Rankings.

Originally, he wanted to achieve the Heavenly King Realm in the Human Realm before heading to the Upper Realm. However, who could have expected the great changes in the world, preventing him from going to the Upper Realm again, and his cultivation Realm remained stuck before the Heavenly King.

Fortunately, thanks to Lu Chen's blessing in the end, he still broke through to the Heavenly King Realm and would cross the Heavenly Gate at this moment to ascend to the Upper Realm.

Although there were twists and turns in the process, the outcome was still the one he had initially envisioned, it just took a very long time.

Getting back to the main point.

The Immortals of the Myriad Clans did not resist the path to the Upper Realm, like ants trying to shake a tree, they were crushed in large numbers by Lu Chen's two slaps.

As for the Immortals who forcefully suppressed their impulses and did not attempt to cross, there were not many left. Perhaps there were also some old fellows who hadn't even come to the Immortal Path, but their numbers were probably not large. With the foundation left by the Dongxu Immortal Mansion, it wouldn't be a big problem.

At least, it wouldn't be like the beginning, being targeted by the Human Realm Immortals of the Myriad Clans from the entire Universe. This could also be considered the eradication of the last major threat.

Otherwise, as soon as they went to the Upper Realm, the Dongxu Immortal Mansion might have suffered a devastating disaster shortly after.

"The Heavenly Gate is only open for a limited time, let's go." An old True Immortal couldn't help but remind them.

Lu Chen took one last look at this Human Realm. Afterward, five Profound-Rank Heavenly Generals cleared the way and were the first to step into the Heavenly Gate.

Zhao Yujing and the Immortals from the Dongxu Immortal Mansion, as well as the Immortals from the Jiuli Lineage, followed closely behind.

However, the Heavenly Gate, which was still fine when the Immortals from the Dongxu Immortal Mansion stepped in, suddenly began to tremble when the Immortals from the Jiuli Lineage entered. Faintly, there was already a tendency to collapse.

The expressions of the last seven Nine Li Immortals who were about to step into the Heavenly Gate suddenly changed: "The Heavenly Gate is about to collapse, hurry and go!"

Astonishing Immortal power erupted from their bodies as they tried to cross the Heavenly Gate instantly. However: "It's useless. This Heavenly Gate seems only a step away, but in reality, it separates two Realms. The distance involved is related to space and cannot be measured by ordinary reasoning!"

"This is bad, the Heavenly Gate is about to collapse, and space is going to be torn apart!" The Immortal power throughout the bodies of several Nine Li Immortals boiled as they continuously sacrificed one Immortal defensive artifact after another, trying to block the tearing force of the two Realms.

However, defensive Immortal artifacts like bells, shields, treasure robes, treasure beads, and treasure towers were as fragile as white paper in the face of the power of the two Realms, easily torn and shredded.

"Stand still, do not move." At this moment, Li Wuji's voice suddenly came, and along with it, a large hand shimmering with divine light. With just a gentle scoop, he grabbed the seven Nine Li Immortals and brought them to the other side of the Heavenly Gate.

At the same moment, the Heavenly Gate trembled, and the constantly surging Immortal matter and Immortal energy were instantly cut off.

The power of the two Realms surged, and the gap in the Heavenly Gate that Lu Chen had casually cut open also instantly returned to its original state.

The Immortal Path was still the same Immortal Path, only exceptionally quiet.

Some Human Realm Immortals who had originally fled far away quickly came: "Quick, attack now, maybe there's still a chance to open the Heavenly Gate a second time!"

"Boom!" Dozens of Human Realm Immortals attacked simultaneously, bombarding the Heavenly Gate, causing the entire Immortal Path to roar and shake the eight directions.

However, it was useless. The Heavenly Gate, which had clearly just healed, seemed to have completely cut off the last path for the Human Realm and could no longer be opened.

Even if dozens of Human Realm Immortals attacked at the same time, they couldn't shake it in the slightest!

"Damn it, the Heavenly Gate is the only way for the Human Realm to go to the Upper Realm. Could it be that only this many Human Realm Immortals are allowed to cross?" These Human Realm Immortals were unwilling.

They had originally thought that after Lu Chen, and the Human Realm Immortals from the Dongxu Immortal Mansion and the Jiuli Lineage left, they would still have a chance to cross the Heavenly Gate!

Who knew that the limit this Heavenly Gate could bear was far below their expectations? It wasn't even enough to support the Immortals of the Jiuli Lineage crossing over; it was Li Wuji's forceful intervention that saved them.

The Dongxu Immortal Mansion is just one of the Human Race's Void Immortal Sects, how many Immortals could it have?

Even adding the Jiuli Lineage, it's not many.

Yet, despite this, the Heavenly Gate still collapsed and closed!

The Immortals of this Realm can no longer go to the Upper Realm.

"Dongxu Immortal Mansion, Lu Chen, damn it, they all deserve to die!" A Human Realm Immortal was enraged and turned to rush towards the Dongxu Immortal Mansion.

What is the Dongxu Immortal Mansion now, without Lu Chen and without so many Human Realm Immortals?

Destroying the Dongxu Immortal Mansion and venting their pent-up anger would be perfect!

...

Upper Realm.

Immortal energy was rich, and Immortal matter seemed inexhaustible and endless.

This place was a boundless range of mountains, with ancient trees and forests. Looking around, one could see towering old trees everywhere, each different and never before seen.

But this was not the most important thing. What was important was that the space here was much, much more stable than in the Human Realm.

The richness of Immortal matter, the richness of Immortal energy, and the difference in space also directly led to the fact that any random stone found in this Upper Realm seemed incredibly hard, and everything was much stronger than in the Human Realm.

"Is this the Upper Realm?" Lu Chen took a deep breath, feeling as if endless Immortal matter and Immortal energy were surging in and pouring into his body.

It didn't seem as extraordinary as he had imagined!

Lu Chen felt indifferent, without the sense of being shocked by the Upper Realm upon first arriving.

"The Upper Realm has finally arrived!" Li Changming let out a long breath, seemingly finding the air here particularly novel.

"Is this the Upper Realm? It's indeed different from the Human Realm!" The other numerous Immortals from the Dongxu Immortal Mansion were all looking around, feeling curious about everything.

Only Li Wuji remained silent, as if lost in some memory: "Upper Realm, this time, I'll see how you stop me from entering the Time River!"

"Such a familiar aura!" Zhao Yujing frowned.

His past life memories were faint and elusive, as if they could be recalled at any time, yet also as if they couldn't be recalled no matter what, as if this memory didn't exist, or as if it was sealed in the deepest part of his soul and hadn't yet awakened.

"Let out that Little Phoenix and ask where this place is." Lu Chen spoke softly, interrupting Zhao Yujing's contemplation.

When they came to the Upper Realm, that Little Phoenix naturally had to come too. The difference was that the Little Phoenix had originally fallen into the Human Realm from the Upper Realm, so his return to the Upper Realm had no effect on the Heavenly Gate. Thus, he was taken into the Refining Demon Pot by Zhao Yujing.

At this time, this Little Phoenix was the only creature familiar with the Upper Realm, so naturally, they had to make good use of him.

At the very least, they should first understand the current structure and situation of the Upper Realm, where the Dongxu Immortal Mansion is, what its current state is, and so on. All of this needed to be known.

Otherwise, searching blindly would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Zhao Yujing silently took out the Refining Demon Pot and casually threw out the Little Phoenix Wind Seven.

As soon as the plump Wind Seven jumped out of the Refining Demon Pot, he took a deep breath and said intoxicatingly, "The Upper Realm is still more suitable for me!"

Lu Chen patted the little fatty's shoulder and said, "Take a look, where is this place?"

Wind Seven looked around, then his face became increasingly gloomy, and his brows furrowed tighter and tighter. He remained silent for a long time.

Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he tentatively asked, "Brother Feng, don't tell me this place is a Great Fiend area in the Upper Realm?"

Not to mention Lu Chen, even the Immortals from the Dongxu Immortal Mansion and Nine Li who were originally looking around with great interest had their expressions turn serious and couldn't help but move closer!

Wind Seven silently shook his head. After a long while, he slowly said, "I'm trying to recall my memories from when I was still in the egg back then, but..."

He scratched his head: "...I can't remember!"
