Chapter 448: Heavenly Abyss Builds a Divine Bridge

The Little Golden Dragon and Shaoyang Jun stared blankly.

At this moment, no matter what their mood was, it was impossible to describe the feelings in their hearts. The so-called indestructible Calamity had actually been completely wiped away, leaving not the slightest trace behind.

This kind of feeling was just like one day, suddenly, one plus one no longer equaled two.

Their worldview had already been overturned.

At this time, Li Heng withdrew his Heaven and Earth Dharma Form, and the last trace of the phenomenon vanished along with it, leaving only a small loess path winding continuously, finally reaching that stretch of Heavenly Abyss, the Abyss.

"Let's go."

Li Heng's calm words rang in their ears, and then he stepped onto the loess path, walking toward that stretch of Heavenly Abyss. The two of them instantly snapped back to their senses, and not daring to delay, they hurriedly chased after him.

"Honored One, what realm are you exactly?"

Returning to Li Heng's side, the Little Golden Dragon finally could not suppress the questions in his heart, and asked with some excitement and caution.

Shaoyang Jun also cast a look of anticipation at this.

"Then what realm do you think I am in?"

Li Heng smiled slightly as he walked.

The Little Golden Dragon was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly spoke.

"I think the Honored One has already attained the Eternal, stepped into the Sacred Realm, and is not just an ordinary Sacred; otherwise, how could you have completely erased that Calamity? You must know that in the Immortal God Era, there had never been an instance where a Calamity could be completely erased."

Beside him, Shaoyang Jun nodded in deep agreement.

He very much agreed with the Little Golden Dragon's words.

After all, Li Heng's status was now so high that they could not glimpse the full picture; like blind men touching an elephant, everything they saw was merely a part of this Li Heng, Fellow Daoist Li, and not the whole.

Li Heng chuckled.

"So that is what you think?"

The two were startled upon hearing this, feeling somewhat surprised. Could it be that they had guessed wrong? Not just the Sacred Realm, but even stronger than the Sacred?

"I am sorry to disappoint you, but I am not a Sacred."

"I am at most Creation Realm Above, a Half-step Divine, right now."

Li Heng said leisurely.

"What, merely a Half-step Divine!"

The man and the dragon exclaimed in unison, shocked.

This answer was even more surprising to them than anything far above the Sacred. Because they truly could not imagine how a mere Half-step Divine could completely erase a Calamity?

In the past, even a true Sacred could not have done this!

"Yes, still too weak."

Li Heng sighed with melancholy.

The man and the dragon were speechless upon hearing this. This was also called too weak?

A Half-step Divine was enough to crush them thousands of times over. Not to mention, a "Half-step Divine" who could do things that the Sacred could not.

This "half-step" and "Sacred" in between...

Was it really the "half-step" and "Sacred" as they defined them?

They expressed great doubt.

"By the way, you were an Immortal God of the Heavenly Court in the past, so let me ask you, how did you advance to the Sacred?"

Li Heng changed the subject and asked curiously.

The Little Golden Dragon looked bewildered.

He was just a second-generation, how would he know the specific details?

There was nothing in his brain.

However, after he carefully searched his mind and pondered for a moment, he spoke respectfully. "Reporting to the Honored One, I am not clear on the specific details, but it is said that it also relates to the Heaven and Earth one has opened up."

"That Great Heaven and Earth which is said to have passed the Final Nine Calamities, can be called perfect and flawless, and exists in the Void eternally?" Li Heng raised his eyebrows and said.

"Yes, it is precisely related to this."

The Little Golden Dragon hurriedly responded.

"It is said that after passing the Final Nine Calamities, Heaven and Earth will become perfect and flawless, existing in the Void eternally, and advancing to the Sacred starts from this point, though I am not clear on how exactly to go about it."

At this time, Shaoyang Jun beside him had a complex expression.

He sighed and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

"Let me answer this point; I know."

Li Heng nodded and said, "Then speak."

"The essence of the Creation Realm lies in overcoming tribulations. Each time a tribulation is overcome, the Heaven and Earth of one's own creation advances a step further, then feeds back into oneself, until the Final Nine Calamities are passed, achieving an Eternal World."

Shaoyang Jun spoke slowly.

"But currently, it seems the Nine Tribulations Heaven and Earth is not eternal either."

Li Heng asked.

Shaoyang Jun nodded.

"That is correct. Even after passing the Final Nine Calamities, Heaven and Earth cannot be completely called eternal; it can only be said that a trace of Eternal Rhyme is born, relative to the Eternal. This kind of eternity might allow the Great Heaven and Earth to exist eternally in the Great Void, without the limitation of the lifespan of Heaven and Earth."

"But it cannot withstand the invasion of stronger external forces."

"So to break through to the Sacred, one must start from this Eternal Rhyme?" Li Heng raised his eyebrows and spoke, realizing something.

"Precisely so. To break through to the Sacred, one must make the Eternal Rhyme become more abundant, completely covering the Heaven and Earth one has created, reaching the True Eternal Realm where everything decays but Heaven and Earth does not."

Shaoyang Jun said.

Li Heng nodded upon hearing this and continued.

"Is there anything else besides this?"

Shaoyang Jun looked somewhat bewildered upon hearing this.

"What else could there be besides this? That Eternal realm is the Sacred realm. If there is anything to watch out for, it is that at the final moment, one must sublimate the Heaven and Earth Eternal into one's own Eternal."

"Wujian told me this; I did not even know it while I was alive."

Shaoyang Jun self-deprecatingly smiled with a bitter expression.

It was ironic; if he had been able to perceive the path ahead and know the steps to advance to Sacred while he was alive, how could he have fallen at the end of the Emperor Road?

"I see," Li Heng said, lost in thought.

This increasingly suggested that the Heavenly Court Immortal Gods achieved the Dao through the Eternal. However, this conclusion could not be viewed from an Absolute perspective, as it was, after all, told to him by Wujian.

Forget it, he would ask that Xuanyang when he returned.

After all, the little golden dragon, this second-generation Immortal, did not know this information either.

The thought settled.

Li Heng glared at the little golden dragon, frustrated by its lack of potential, and swung it by its tail in a circle in the air, thinking, what use are you as a pet?

Little golden dragon:...... (??? ︿???)

The three conversed along the way until the path ahead was severed; an infinitely vast Abyss, stretching endlessly in all directions, the Heavenly Abyss lay across here, blocking their way.

The Abyss was silent, pitch-black, a bottomless pit.

Li Heng looked at this Abyss, lost in thought.

Although he knew that most Abysses looked about the same, this Abyss gave him an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, just like the True Realm Rift that could lead to the True Realm before.

At this moment, the little golden dragon looked at the Abyss before them and spoke in horror.

"Exalted One, this Abyss is definitely problematic! It is no longer the Heavenly Abyss laid down by the Immortal Gods back then; it has definitely undergone a mutation! I can feel a heavy Inauspiciousness; it seems to have been polluted by the Calamity."

Shaoyang Jun did not make a sound, silently watching everything before him.

He had been buried here in his previous life.

Li Heng spoke, his expression calm.

"No matter, when the road reaches its end, one should build a Spirit Bridge."

He waved his large hand, and golden light bloomed, slowly falling onto this Abyss, intending to connect this shore with the other, forming a Golden Light Divine Bridge to cross this Heavenly Abyss.

But the next moment, a mutation occurred.
