243: Chapter 242 Arrival at the Mirage Realm

The Divine Temple, Third Heaven.

When Xia Jin's figure appeared in his residence, after resting for only one night, he received a message from the Second Hall Master.

"Quite punctual indeed!" Xia Jin's lips curled up slightly. Taking a step forward, when he reappeared, he was already in front of the Second Hall Master.

"Junior Brother Xia!!" Marquis Chu nodded at Xia Jin with a smile as he saw him enter.

"Second Hall Master." Xia Jin first bowed respectfully to the Second Hall Master, then turned to Marquis Chu and said with a smile, "Senior Brother, I didn't expect you to dress up so specially today."

"Aren't we heading to the Shenyun Realm? I thought I should tidy myself up properly!" Marquis Chu rubbed his bald head and laughed triumphantly.

The Second Hall Master's gaze swept over his two Disciples, a flash of satisfaction in his eyes.

"Since everyone is here, follow me."

...

The Second Hall Master led the two of them directly to the highest peak of the Third Heaven.

Standing within a set of Formation Patterns at the summit, he looked up at the sky and slowly raised his right hand.

The next moment, a brilliant pillar of light soared from his palm, piercing straight into the clouds!

In an instant, the winds and clouds in the sky shifted.

The originally clear sky suddenly split open with a massive rift, and a majestic Formation slowly descended from the crack, echoing the Formation Patterns on the ground.

The two Formations attracted each other and underwent Fusion, ultimately overlapping perfectly.

A massive vortex appeared before Xia Jin and Marquis Chu.

Both Xia Jin and Marquis Chu felt their spirits shudder as they stared intently at the vortex.

Just then, an aged voice echoed from within the vortex.

"Enter once you are ready. I shall take you both to the Shenyun Realm."

Xia Jin and Marquis Chu were both jolted; this must be the voice of the Great Hall Master!

The Second Hall Master turned around, his gaze sweeping over their faces as he said solemnly, "Go. This journey to the Shenyun Realm is fraught with unpredictable dangers, but it is also a rare Opportunity for you both. Remember, once you arrive, follow all of the Great Hall Master's arrangements and do not act recklessly."

"We understand!"

Xia Jin and Marquis Chu bowed to the Second Hall Master together, then turned, took a deep breath, and stepped into the vortex side by side.

...

Upon stepping inside, Xia Jin felt his body become light, as if he had lost all weight, caught up by an invisible force.

Just then, a giant palm suddenly reached out from the Void Realm, grabbing toward Xia Jin and Marquis Chu.

The next moment, the giant hand gently lifted the two of them and placed them steadily in its palm.

Standing in the palm of that giant hand, Xia Jin and Marquis Chu looked up and finally saw the full appearance of the hand's owner.

It was an incredibly massive figure!

Standing tall within the Chaotic Space-Time Currents, he looked like an ancient deity who had created the world. No matter how violent the surrounding turbulence was, it couldn't shake him in the slightest.

"Is this the Great Hall Master!?" Xia Jin and Marquis Chu looked at each other, both seeing shock in the other's eyes.

The massive figure carefully protected Xia Jin and Marquis Chu in his palm, then stepped forward, heading upstream against the violent Chaotic Space-Time Currents!

The surrounding turbulence lashed out wildly at the figure, but it could never penetrate the faint layer of golden light around his body.

The massive figure carried Xia Jin and Marquis Chu, striding forward through the Chaotic Space-Time Currents.

Every step he took covered ten thousand miles.

The surrounding scenery shifted constantly.

The Shenyun Realm seemed extremely distant; even at the speed of this massive figure, they traveled through the Chaotic Space-Time Currents for over half a day.

Along the way, Xia Jin watched the strange sights around them, his understanding of the world being refreshed time and again.

So, beyond the Divine Temple, there was such a vast world.

So, within the Chaotic Space-Time Currents, there were actually such terrifying existences who could travel freely.

After an unknown amount of time, the massive figure finally came to a halt.

Ahead, at the end of the Chaotic Space-Time Currents, a massive light screen appeared. It was like a barrier spanning between heaven and earth, separating the turbulence from another world.

The figure raised his other hand and made a light swipe.

The light screen split open with a massive gap, revealing a brand-new world behind it.

Then, the figure stepped through the light screen, bringing Xia Jin and Marquis Chu officially into the Shenyun Realm!

...

The surrounding Chaotic Space-Time Currents vanished instantly, replaced by a vast and boundless world.

Xia Jin and Marquis Chu stood in the figure's palm, curiously surveying their surroundings.

They found themselves upon a vast, desolate land.

All around were rolling mountain ranges, their peaks towering into the clouds like sharp swords piercing the sky.

The mountains were covered in lush vegetation, with towering ancient trees and intertwining vines; the faint roars of beasts could be heard in the distance.

And ahead of them was a massive city.

Xia Jin and Marquis Chu were watching intently, and before they could examine the city closely, the massive figure suddenly shrank rapidly!

The two felt their vision blur, and when it cleared, they were standing steadily on the ground.

Standing before them was an old man.

The old man stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Xia Jin and Marquis Chu with a smile.

Had they not seen it with their own eyes, Xia Jin and Marquis Chu would hardly have believed that this seemingly ordinary old man was the same terrifying existence who had just stood tall between heaven and earth, wading through the Chaotic Space-Time Currents!

Xia Jin and Marquis Chu looked at each other, both seeing deep shock in the other's eyes.

But the two quickly recovered and bowed respectfully to the old man before them.

"Disciple Xia Jin pays respects to the Great Hall Master!"

"Disciple Marquis Chu pays respects to the Great Hall Master!"

The elder looked at the two before him, a flash of satisfaction in his eyes, and nodded with a smile.

"Rise, there is no need for such formalities." The Great Hall Master waved his hand, then turned and walked toward the massive city ahead. "Follow me into the city. I will explain the things you need to be aware of in detail once we are inside."

Xia Jin and Marquis Chu quickly followed, walking to the left and right behind the Great Hall Master.

However, as Xia Jin took his first step, his expression suddenly changed!

His footsteps came to a sudden halt.

Something was wrong!

This place... something was very wrong about it!
