Chapter 335: Bold Breakthrough

The inheritance seal of the Jing Shi Zhu is limited and is a consumable.

It cannot be climbed an unlimited number of times.

Even if you become a Jing Tu seed and receive intensive cultivation, you still have only three chances to climb the Jing Shi Zhu per realm.

You have already used one, leaving two remaining.

"Thirty thousand meters of the Jing Shi Zhu, I can do it."

You begin to ascend the Jing Shi Zhu.

The first ten thousand meters are already no challenge for you.

Twenty thousand meters is just a matter of taking a few more breaths.

Going higher, you start to feel the strain, and by twenty‑eight thousand meters you sense endless pressure.

You are like a small boat on an endless sea, tossed by wave after wave, as if about to capsize at any moment.

Since the founding of the Jing Tu World, aside from the strongest Jing Tu elder, no cultivator of the Legend Realm has ever reached this point at twenty‑eight thousand meters.

You broke the record, but it is far from enough.

Amid the surging pressure, you close your eyes and perceive Law Power from a higher tier.

Law Power is the foundation of the three realms of Ascension to Immortality.

Each time you grasp a bit, the pressure on you lessens a fraction, allowing a small step upward.

Time flies, and you do not know how long has passed.

Yet you are not crushed by the endless pressure; instead, your movements become swifter, as if aided by a deity, like a fish in water.

Unconsciously, you have already reached thirty thousand meters.

At the moment you reach thirty thousand meters, a stronger, more complete Law Power sweeps in, trying to wash you down.

"I have already comprehended the essence of the First Realm of Ascension."

"It does not defeat me."

The First Realm of Ascension, called the 'Void Deity Realm', can be entered once one initially grasps the true meaning of a great Dao's law.

You have realized it.

It is not through combat grinding, but through the insights left by countless predecessors within the Jing Shi Zhu.

This is the Infant Divine Heart.

Even the Jing Shi Zhu, the supreme Immortal Weapon that upholds the foundation of the entire Jing Tu World, you can still perceive.

As your realm rises, you even feel a profound resonance with the power of the Jing Shi Zhu.

You continue to climb toward higher reaches of the Jing Shi Zhu.

You climb all the way to forty‑five thousand meters before falling from the pillar.

Returning to the Jing Tu ground, you discover that Dean Meng Xiuyuan of the Second Jing Tu Academy has long been waiting.

"The Infant Divine Heart is truly astonishing."

Meng Xiuyuan smiles at you, "From twenty‑five thousand meters straight to forty‑five thousand meters, you have created a miracle."

"Your talent is undoubtedly the highest aside from that strongest Jing Tu elder."

"The Jing Tu needs a miracle! It needs someone who can create a miracle."

"I believe in you."

Meng Xiuyuan expressed his approval to you.

"Thank you, Dean Meng."

You are relieved to have found someone willing to help you break the rules.

He leads you toward the passage to Qingyun Prefecture; along the way, you both talk a lot, and you learn more about Meng Xiuyuan's thinking.

Meng Xiuyuan is a person who dislikes clinging to conventions.

He believes that every step of change in the Jing Tu World is a process of breaking the rules, and to defeat An Ying Zhu, one must create a miracle.

Few can create miracles; he believes you are one of them.

Under Meng Xiuyuan's guidance, you arrive near the passage leading to Qingyun Prefecture.

The area has long been sealed and is heavily guarded.

As a member of the Second Jing Tu Elder Group and dean of the Second Jing Tu Academy, Meng Xiuyuan's own cultivation has reached the pinnacle of the Second Realm of Ascension, allowing him to enter here.

Even so, he does not have permission to open the passage.

"Dean Meng, what brings you here? Why did you even bring Shu?"

The one guarding the passage is one of the five Law Elders of the Second Jing Tu World, also the most senior elder, named Sheng Tianlu.

Meng Xiuyuan smiles, "Elder Sheng, I would like to ask a favor of you."

Elder Sheng asks, "What is it?"

"I want to send Shu into Qingyun Prefecture," Meng Xiuyuan says.

"No!"

Elder Sheng refuses, "The Jing Tu guardians have long issued a ban; no one may enter Qingyun Prefecture."

"This child really wants to go," Meng Xiuyuan explains, "Some matters must be handled by him; you should also know that the anomaly in Qingyun Prefecture was discovered by this child, and he has the right to take part in the follow‑up."

"Dean Meng, you cannot speak that way."

Elder Sheng says, "I know Shu is unusual and highly gifted, but rules are rules; I cannot change them."

"Moreover, you also know that to enter the passage, the seals of the other four Fa Zhi Zhang Lao are required."

"You'd better take Shu back."

You are extremely nervous.

You do not want to go back; you only wish to go to Qingyun Prefecture, to resolve the doubts in your heart and uncover the truth.

Meng Xiuyuan smiled, "I have brought the seals of the other four Law Elders."

"Oh?"

Sheng Tianlu, surprised, said, "Let me see."

"Here you go."

As the words fell, Meng Xiuyuan sprang forward, instantly unfolding a powerful seal that suppressed Sheng Tianlu.

"Shu, go!"

You are somewhat shocked; Meng Xiuyuan truly would forcefully break through the passage for you.

If you cannot find a favorable outcome, the consequences for you and Dean Meng are unlikely to be good.

The Elder Group will never let you off.

Sheng Tianlu roared, "Dean Meng! Do you know what you're doing? If any slip occurs in the Qingyun Prefecture matter, it will surely endanger the entire Jing Tu."

"Can you bear the responsibility?"

"Out of selfishness, do you think about the countless beings of Jing Tu?"

These words, like a sting, pierce your heart, making your steps falter, yet you still do not stop.

You trust your judgment that there is no danger in that mansion of the Great Yan Empire in Qingyun Prefecture.

There lies something that makes your destiny ripple.

You must go there.

Boom!

Meng Xiuyuan forcibly broke the seal of the passage.

At the final moment of stepping into the passage, you see several elders arrive together, suppressing the now nonresisting Meng Xiuyuan.

"Shu, you cannot enter!"

Elder Gu Qing, who has the most contact with you, also arrived.

"I will prove everything! I will change Jing Tu!"

You shouted, "Dean Meng, I will return; I will certainly not disappoint you."

The power of space enveloped your body, bringing you back to the Shadow World Qingyun Prefecture, the place called the Great Yan Empire.
