Chapter 513: Returning to the Rift
"Do you have any plans for the future?"
Li Heng turned his head, looking at the Spirit of the Heavenly Palace with a half-smile.
The Spirit of the Heavenly Palace fell silent for a moment upon hearing this, then spoke.
"I am willing to follow the Imperial Teacher's commands."
He understood that for Li Heng, who possessed the Heavenly Emperor Authority, he had absolutely no right to refuse his request, so he might as well just go along with it and see how Li Heng arranged things.
Li Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, looking calmly at the Spirit of the Heavenly Palace who had kicked the ball back to him. After thinking for a while, he spoke slowly, "In that case, how about you continue to act as the guardian spirit of this seal? Together with Wujian."
The eyes of the Spirit of the Heavenly Palace lit up; he wasn't unemployed?
"I am willing, Lord Imperial Teacher!"
He replied hurriedly, fearing that if he hesitated for another moment, Li Heng would directly go back on his word and retract what he had just said.
Li Heng nodded, "Then do your job well."
Although this seal did not need so many people to guard it, and Wujian was enough, he didn't know what else the Spirit of the Heavenly Palace could do, so he would just settle him here for the time being.
"Alright, this matter is settled, and I should be going. If you have any important matters in the future, you can contact me. What you need to do now is to contain, swallow, and permeate this seal, and then do not let the seal be broken."
Li Heng looked at Wujian and instructed.
Now that Wujian was his possession, there existed a certain connection in the dark, and Wujian could contact him through this connection.
Subsequently, Li Heng disappeared under the blank gaze of the Spirit of the Heavenly Palace. In this static layer of the seal, only the Spirit of the Heavenly Palace and Wujian were left—these two... things, or existences?
Arriving at the outside world.
Li Heng appeared before the Heavenly King of Guangnan and the others.
"I am about to leave the True Realm; the date of my return is uncertain."
Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.
The Heavenly King of Guangnan and Bai Laotou were the first to speak.
"Imperial Teacher, why are you leaving?"
They were surprised in their hearts; after all, Li Heng now possessed the Heavenly Emperor Authority and was equivalent to the Acting Heavenly Emperor. Should he not stay in the True Realm to rebuild the Heavenly Court? Why did he want to leave the True Realm?
The True Realm was, after all, the center of the ten thousand worlds in the past. Even though it had fallen now and Calamity monsters ran rampant, it was still not something an ordinary world could surpass.
As long as the hidden dangers of the Calamity and monsters could be resolved, practicing and cultivating here would be much more efficient than in other worlds. And Li Heng was already the Acting Heavenly Emperor and possessed Divine Power, so he should not be worried about such hidden dangers.
"I have said before that I am not a person of the True Realm. My coming to the True Realm this time was merely at the request of another, and that person, I presume you already know, is the other Xuanyang."
"I must deliver the things I obtained in the True Realm to him."
Li Heng said slowly.
"And now, I am giving you a chance, a chance to leave the True Realm. In fact, you are only phantoms of the past, only True Spirits, only dead people."
He looked at this group of "dead people" before him and gave a promise.
All things in the world are but false combinations of causes and conditions.
Since they had met him, it was fate. Since it was fate, he would give them a chance; it was just a small effort for him anyway.
Everyone immediately fell into deep thought.
Bai Laotou was the first to shake his head and speak.
"I am old after all, and I am attached to this old place. I will not go; thank you for your kindness, Imperial Teacher."
The Heavenly King of Guangnan also spoke.
"Many thanks for your kindness, Imperial Teacher, but I do not wish to leave. Someone must stay behind to watch over this Heavenly Court, even if it is broken."
His words were filled with endless emotion and infinite attachment to the Immortal God Heavenly Court of the old era; it seemed as if he felt he was still living in the old era.
"And what about you two?"
Li Heng looked at the Little Golden Dragon and Shaoyang Jun.
He was not surprised that Bai Laotou and the Heavenly King of Guangnan were unwilling to leave him. On the contrary, he would have been surprised if they were willing to leave him.
After all, they were loyalists to that Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court.
"Reporting to the Venerable One, we are willing to go!"
The Little Golden Dragon and Shaoyang Jun looked at each other and responded together. They were, after all, full of drive and were of the younger generation; they did not want to stay in such a huge graveyard as the True Realm.
"Very well, let us go then. Take care, you two."
Li Heng nodded, not delaying any time. With a wave of his sleeve, he himself, along with the Little Golden Dragon and Shaoyang Jun, disappeared from the spot without stirring up the slightest ripple in space.
The other Xuanyang? Li Heng had already put him away.
The three left, and Bai Laotou and the Heavenly King of Guangnan were left feeling a sense of loss...
The True Realm is vast, containing infinite Great Thousand Worlds.
The True Realm is small, crossed in one step by the Sacred.
So, in an instant, Li Heng led the Little Golden Dragon and Shaoyang Jun to the starting point of his journey in the True Realm, where the Tianjian Sect was located.
Although with Li Heng's current Divine Power, he might be able to cross the Void directly to return, that would be too strenuous.
Moreover, added to the information he obtained from the Heavenly Emperor, the Central Great World was a seal, and the entire True Realm was also a seal, preventing countless Calamities and monsters from leaving.
Once he forcibly crossed the Void and transcended the True Realm to leave, it would be equivalent to destroying this huge seal, allowing the Calamities and monsters within to spread into the Da Xu Kong.
Therefore, this kind of seal could not be easily broken.
At least with his current strength, breaking it would cause trouble.
So he still chose to take the Space Node, the same Space Node he had come through before. Leaving the True Realm from that Node and passing through the True Realm Rift would allow him to return to the Present World, and the efficiency would be higher.
Standing above the Tianjian Sect, Li Heng pondered for a while.
Finally, a wisp of spiritual light drifted down, sinking into the Tianjian Sect, sinking into that monster of the Tianjian Sect.
Su Xian of the Tianjian Sect had indeed been of great help to him in possessing the Eternal Element, so what was wrong with granting a wisp of opportunity? Let's see if he can be ambitious and return using this wisp of spiritual light as an anchor.
Subsequently, the Space Node appeared, and the three stepped into it.
Li Heng returned to the very bottom of the True Realm Rift.
His first sensation was not returning to that indescribable Unknown, but rather feeling crowded. It was like a divine dragon soaring through the Nine Heavens arriving at a small pond.
Once he stretched out, he would cause this small pond to be destroyed.
This was a feeling that could not appear in the True Realm.
This True Realm Rift, derived from the power of the Unknown tribulation and capable of connecting to many worlds in the Great Void, was simply too small. Li Heng estimated the volume of this True Realm Rift to be at most Half-step Divine.
At this moment, the True Realm Rift was trembling.
The treasure hunters and monsters roaming within the True Realm Rift began to panic; what was going on? Why was this Ghost Place trembling, seemingly on the verge of splitting open and shattering?
Some powerful ones unleashed Great Divine Abilities, wanting to find the source. But before they could even reach the bottom layer, the consciousness and Supernatural Abilities they probed with were annihilated by the aura Li Heng exuded, even causing them to suffer backlash.
The light cases were left half-dead, while the heavy cases dropped dead on the spot!
Li Heng at this moment already revealed an extremely subtle expression.
He now discovered that this True Realm Rift possessed a pan-consciousness; although it was extremely chaotic and indescribable, it was indeed a consciousness, and this consciousness was luring living beings to come here.
