How to leave the Ninth Heaven

Zhong Qing paused, then asked again.

"Now that the Immortal Alliance wants to leave the Nine Heavens, what method do they have?"

Yu Weichen was not surprised to hear the question Zhong Qing posed.

He showed a wry smile.

"Little Friend Zhong, that's a good question."

"If it were an ordinary person, they truly wouldn't be qualified to know these things, but Little Friend Zhong, you will know sooner or later, so it's fine for this Lord to tell you."

Yu Weichen paused, pondered for a moment, then spoke.

"Actually, the Nine Heavens has two entrances and exits."

"They are located in the topmost Ninth Heaven and the bottommost First Heaven!"

"When the myriad races migrated into the Nine Heavens back then, they entered from the First Heaven."

"So, if Little Friend you have been to the First Heaven, you would know that the situation in the First Heaven is very chaotic, with myriad races living together, and many things hidden there, which were left behind when they migrated into the Nine Heavens."

Zhong Qing nodded; he himself came from the First Heaven, so of course he knew.

"But not long after the myriad races entered the Nine Heavens, the First Heaven was contaminated by a curse, which means the path we came by was blocked."

Yu Weichen sighed softly: "Although that curse is formless, it is indeed terrifying to the extreme."

"Even True Immortals like us cannot ignore it."

"As long as the curse remains in the First Heaven for a day, we will not be able to leave through the First Heaven."

Zhong Qing's gaze shifted: "So there is an entrance to the First Heaven, but I wonder where it is?"

If he could leave from the First Heaven, then he, who is not afraid of the curse, could leave whenever he wanted, couldn't he?

Yu Weichen shook his head and said: "The entrance to the First Heaven does not exist permanently."

"Since it was to avoid disaster back then, after entering, the entrance would naturally not be openly displayed there."

"It is said that the entrance and exit of the First Heaven move unpredictably in various spaces, and under normal circumstances, they are in a closed state."

"Only by using a secret method can its location be tracked and opened. Of course, if you have enough patience and spend tens of thousands of years searching, you might not be unable to find it."

"But as you know, no one can search for an entrance and exit in the First Heaven while enduring the curse."

Zhong Qing nodded, his eyes flickering: "Then, I wonder, what is this secret method?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Weichen imperceptibly glanced at Zhong Qing, a hint of understanding seeming to flash in his eyes.

But he said nothing, only: "This Lord doesn't know either; I've only heard about it. The information about the First Heaven's entrance is only held by those ancient existences who first led the myriad races into the Nine Heavens."

"But most of them have perished, and with the First Heaven being contaminated, this method has lost its meaning."

"So it hasn't been passed down."

"Let alone this Lord, even Immortal Lord Celestial Immortal Langhuan probably doesn't know."

"But if there's anyone in the Immortal Alliance who might still know, it would only be Immortal Lord Baize."

"Although he was not one of the Twelve Immortal Lords back then, he was already a True Immortal at the very beginning of the Nine Heavens' establishment, and with the racial talent of the Divine Beast Baize, Immortal Lord Baize can be said to be the most knowledgeable existence in the Nine Heavens today."

"Any Immortal Lord or Yuan Lord in the Eighth Heaven today treats Immortal Lord Baize with the respect due to a Senior; even the most arrogant Golden Feather Yuanjun and Immortal Lord Fuhai give way to him."

"But Immortal Lord Baize usually isn't in the Immortal Alliance; instead, he prefers to wander around the Nine Heavens, somewhat elusive. Even True Immortals of our Immortal Alliance find it difficult to meet him."

"Little Friend Zhong, if you have the opportunity to meet Immortal Lord Baize in the future, you can ask him."

Zhong Qing nodded.

Anyway, he ignores the curse, so if all else fails, he can consider the path of leaving through the First Heaven.

Of course, he wouldn't say this openly, but instead asked: "Since the First Heaven is not an option, then only the Ninth Heaven remains, right?"

Yu Weichen nodded and said: "Exactly. Of course, the Immortal Alliance has not given up on the First Heaven route. After all, the curse is a threat to everyone. For tens of millions of years, the Immortal Alliance has never stopped researching the curse, but unfortunately, with little success."

"So currently, the Immortal Alliance's primary goal is still the Ninth Heaven."

"But this path... honestly, its difficulty is no less than that of the First Heaven."

"The Ninth Heaven is the central hub that maintains the entire Nine Heavens. When it was created back then, it was refined by the combined efforts of the Twelve Immortal Lords and countless True Immortals."

"For such an important place, its defenses are naturally impenetrable. To prevent any accidents, it was sealed from the beginning, and countless checkpoints were set up within it, making it impossible for even the myriad races themselves to pass through."

"These methods are not just simple Formations and Restrictions; they can be said to be the supreme Peak crystallization of the myriad races' Immortal Dao development over countless years."

"In addition, the First Heaven being contaminated by the curse seems to have caused some kind of mutation in the Ninth Heaven, even rendering some of the previously left methods ineffective."

"And the current Immortal Alliance, compared to the myriad races of back then, has not only failed to progress but has even declined. How easy is it to decipher the achievements of the Seniors from back then?"

"Therefore, since the Immortal Alliance's inception, despite their efforts until now, the progress in breaking through the Ninth Heaven has been very slow, only about one-third complete to this day."

"Regarding the specific situation within the Ninth Heaven, you will naturally come into contact with it later. After all, as a True Immortal of the Immortal Alliance, regardless of your racial origin, everyone must contribute to deciphering the Ninth Heaven."

Zhong Qing nodded: "I understand. Thank you, Brother Yu, for explaining."

At this point, Yu Weichen's expression suddenly became serious: "Little Friend Zhong, there is one more thing you need to know."

Zhong Qing raised an eyebrow: "Brother Yu, please speak."

Yu Weichen said: "As I told Little Friend Zhong before, Immortal Seeds are very important to the Immortal Alliance."

"Because the Dao Fruit rules of the Immortal Seed have not been affected by the environment within the Nine Heavens."

"Perhaps for this reason, Immortal Seeds also find it easier to decipher some of the checkpoints and methods within the Nine Heavens."

"So in the future, there will likely be many places where we will need to rely on Little Friend Zhong."

Zhong Qing nodded: "That's natural. Brother Yu doesn't need to say it."

Yu Weichen pondered for a moment: "But Little Friend Zhong, you need to know that currently, within the Immortal Alliance, you are not the only Immortal Seed."

"Oh?"

Zhong Qing raised an eyebrow, appearing surprised.

But in reality, his heart was undisturbed.

Because... he wasn't an Immortal Seed at all, so what was there to be surprised about?

Yu Weichen said in a deep voice: "Although Little Friend Zhong is indeed the first Immortal Seed to appear in our Human Race in millions of years, and currently the Human Race's only Immortal Seed."

"But the Human Race is not the only one with Immortal Seeds."

"Currently, within the Immortal Alliance, besides Little Friend Zhong, there are four other Immortal Seeds."

"Among them, the Celestial Race has two."

"So Little Friend Zhong, you need to be wary of the Celestial Race."
