298: Zhongli Qiu, trying to break through

This speed of improvement can be said to be incredibly fast.

And your inner world has undergone earth-shattering changes.

More and more worlds are appearing here.

And outside the Myriad Realms, new worlds are constantly being born.

"This place is becoming more and more like the Supreme Dao Pearl."

"I'm afraid by the time I achieve the God Realm, it will become exactly like the Supreme Dao Pearl."

You nodded thoughtfully.

And just then, ripples of fluctuations came from the Void Realm beside you.

Immediately after, a man wearing a hair crown appeared there.

He first politely cupped his hands, then said, "I am Zhongli Qiu, greetings, Fellow Daoist."

"Just now, I sensed a familiar aura from Fellow Daoist, and after investigating, it is indeed exactly like our Divine Court's Divine Cultivation Method."

"It's just that I don't know... where did Fellow Daoist's Divine Cultivation Method come from?"

Upon hearing this, your brows furrowed tightly, and you remained silent.

After all, no matter how you answered, it would inevitably reveal flaws, so it was better to keep silent.

However, just as you activated Celestial Travel to leave, the Cultivator who called himself Zhongli Qiu reappeared beside you.

This person is not simple!

Your pupils constricted slightly.

After all, when you activated Celestial Travel just now, you directly traversed several worlds.

Yet, this person followed directly.

That indicates that his Realm is probably at least the legendary God Realm!

"Fellow Daoist, don't panic."

"Since you are of the Human Race and have Cultivated our Divine Court's Divine Cultivation Method, then we are one family."

"I, Zhongli Qiu, naturally bear no ill will towards you."

Zhongli Qiu spoke calmly.

Although Crisis Awareness did not send a warning when facing this person, you still felt that he harbored ill intentions.

However...

This person's strength was, after all, far superior to yours.

To ensure your safety, you still feigned compliance with him.

You told Zhongli Qiu that tens of thousands of years ago, you discovered a fallen Divine Court cultivator.

And the Divine Cultivation Method was found among the relics he left behind.

This explanation was full of loopholes.

As long as Zhongli Qiu investigated even slightly, he would discover that you were lying.

But he still feigned an "I see" expression and even invited you to join the Divine Court.

This abnormal behavior further confirmed your previous thoughts.

Zhongli Qiu... is not right!

But even if you knew he had ill intentions, you had no choice but to agree to his request.

Because you knew that if you agreed to him, you would at least be safe for now.

But if you refused, it would be hard to say.

Five years later.

You followed Zhongli Qiu to the Divine Court.

At the same time, you also learned about the general structure of the Divine Court.

The Zhongli Qiu before you was the Court Master, the supreme existence in the Divine Court.

And Zhongli Cui, whom you saw in the last simulation, was the Vice Court Master.

He was Zhongli Qiu's younger brother, and in Zhongli Qiu's absence, he could manage all affairs of the Divine Court on his behalf.

Below the two of them were a host of Divine Officials.

These individuals held varying positions, high or low, and possessed varying strengths, strong or weak.

But without exception, all of them used the Divine Cultivation Method.

And among them, you even saw a few familiar faces...

The Divine Court cultivators you saw in the Dragon's Secret Treasury last time, and Wu Jiang, whose Divine Soul you had searched.

You greeted these people warmly, trying to glean something from their words.

But their lips were sealed tight.

Although they responded to everything, they didn't reveal any useful information.

You were somewhat disappointed by this.

But with "Rebirth and Return of Life" as your trump card, you were somewhat fearless.

After all, no matter what schemes Zhongli Qiu had, you could use this talent to Rebirth and leverage the one day of invincibility it granted to resolve the matter.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, the seventh millennium arrived.

At this point, not only had your Cultivation reached the Perfection of the thirty-sixth layer of the Dao Tribulation, but you had also made all necessary preparations, ready to attempt a Breakthrough to the God Realm at any time.

You had expected Zhongli Qiu to reveal his plot during this period.

But he didn't.

Everything in the Divine Court remained orderly.

Zhongli Qiu even left the Divine Court, entrusting all affairs to his younger brother, Zhongli Cui.

"Well, whatever schemes he has, I'll wait until I Break through to the God Realm first."

You murmured to yourself, then pulled out the Godhead you had obtained in the last simulation.

It appeared somewhat dim, clearly inferior to another Godhead.

But because you could compensate for this, you were too lazy to snatch the better Godhead from Dragon Ancestor's hands.

Because you were far from an ordinary Cultivator.

At this time, your Foundation was profound, and almost all your Realms had reached a level that others could hardly achieve.

By merely utilizing the trace of Divine Power contained within the Godhead, you could easily Breakthrough to the God Realm.

"Crack--"

As a crisp cracking sound echoed, the power of the Godhead began to be slowly absorbed by you.

And at the same time, the entire Divine Court erupted.

Endless anomalies appeared out of thin air, making all the Cultivators here realize that you were Breaking through to the God Realm.

Their eyes were filled with shock and envy.

But among them, the eyes of a few Cultivators were filled with surprise and panic.

These expressions flashed by, but you still clearly noticed them.

"It seems these people know different things."

"After I succeed, I'll have to search the Divine Soul of those few Cultivators who know more secrets."

Your brows furrowed slightly, and then you began to hone your Realm once more.

Time passed bit by bit, and your Cultivation became increasingly profound.

But just as you were one step away from the God Realm, an unexpected change occurred.

A tearing sensation suddenly arose.

The intense pain made your vision go black, almost causing you to fail the Breakthrough!

It was the inner world!

You had thought it would only form a world similar to the Supreme Dao Pearl after you reached the God Realm, but you never expected it to happen prematurely!

And just as you were one step away from Breaking through to the God Realm, it began to frantically absorb your power.

Including your Divine Soul, Cultivation, and... life!

At this moment, you were in an awkward position.

You were clearly just one step away from the God Realm, but no matter how much Spiritual Qi and Dao Origin you absorbed, it was not enough to Breakthrough.

Instead, it formed an extremely balanced state with your inner world.
