Chapter 61: Visiting the Zijing Mountains

"Yes, teacher." After bowing, Fei Zeler left.

Shawn remained in the main hall, pondering how to reach the Anlan Da material plane;

Going through spatial turbulence was definitely impossible; with only Great Perfection strength, he would inevitably be swept by the currents and have no control; thus he could only use a teleportation array, but he would need to condense his aura to the extreme during the transfer and hide it;

The Dark Law can hide within shadows, but the Death Rule is not adept at this; the Life Rule can overlay a plant body, provided the plant lacks self‑aware soul, yet such a plant would not transmit normally through a teleportation array.

"Dark Law~"

Shawn suddenly recalled Mo Kedo, who had been beside Lei Sijing on the planar battlefield; Mo Kedo is exceptionally unique at concealing aura, relying not on mystic arts but on innate talent;

Perhaps he could study it.

Innate Divine Art is a trait unique to many species, even more wondrous than mystic arts; for example, the Azure Dragon Clan's Dragon Chant and the White Tiger Clan's Tiger Roar can affect time and space. Such abilities are forbidden in the Panlong Universe, yet they can be manifested through innate talent;

In the original work, the final Destruction Overlord relied on the essence blood of the Four Sacred Beasts to successfully devise the Four Sacred Beasts Combined Innate Divine Art; had it not been Ao Fu's extreme audacity, he would undoubtedly have become the first of the Divine Plane.

Anyway, there's no other method for now; trying it is fine, and if the research succeeds, the problem will be solved.

Arriving at the Water Realm's teleportation array, Shawn paid one billion Water Realm Lan Stones for the transfer; the money held no meaning for him.

From the Water Realm to Hell, Shawn was first sent to the Sea of Chaos, then immediately teleported again, arriving at Muya Continent. This repeated until the fifth time, after which he finally reached Zijing Continent.

At Mirror Moon Cliff, a flash of light erupted within the teleportation array; the surrounding soldiers hadn't reacted when a figure streaked by, leaving the array empty.

"What speed was that just now?" several Lord God soldiers exclaimed in surprise,

Some higher‑rank God soldiers were equally shocked, and a figure who seemed to be a captain said slowly, "I've seen some Seven‑Star Demons; none move that fast. What just passed must have been a master of Asura rank."

"Asura rank?"

Many drew a cold breath inward; an Asura‑ranked being, disregarding any backing Lord God, could easily slaughter their entire squad.

There was a period when Shawn roamed Hell, and he was still familiar with Zijing Continent, at least knowing the direction of the Zijing Mountains;

He had never gone there, partly because Lei Sijing excels in physical attacks and has a strong soul; under the use of Lord God's Power, his own soul mutation had no advantage, and facing such a counter, plus the Zijing space, he couldn't escape.

The second reason was also unnecessary: stay away from the Lord God.

Half a Zijing Continent, for a Great Perfection, is merely a month's time, and the journey was half‑leisurely.

Around the outskirts of the Zijing Mist Sea stood protective checkpoints formed by eighteen clans; anyone entering had to pay a fee, but Shawn ignored them, flew straight in, and reached the deep of the mist sea.

"The impact of this wind sound on the soul isn't any worse than the gray mist on Youming Mountain."

Feeling the strange wind sound high above, Shawn was curious whether these phenomena were deliberately created by the Lord God.

Unable to research it, he went straight down and discovered dozens‑of‑meter‑wide pits on the ground, each filled with countless amethysts;

Just as Shawn was about to take some for fun, a massive swirl of ink‑black Lord God's Power gathered in the sky, and moments later a woman whose entire body radiated a hue like amethyst appeared.

"I've seen the Zijing Lord God."

【8】 Shawn naturally knew his arrival could not be hidden from the Lord God; any Lord God's consciousness, if willing, can easily blanket an entire plane, so a Great Perfection within would inevitably be detected, unless it were a newly‑ascended Great Perfection unknown to the Lord God.

Shawn naturally also knew that his arrival could not be hidden from the Supreme God; any Supreme God's divine sense, if willing, could easily cover the entire plane, and the Great Perfection within would inevitably be discovered, unless it is a newly ascended Great Perfection that the Supreme God does not know.

A faint smile appeared on the Zijing Lord God's face, and he asked, "Shawn, why did you come to my Zijing Mountains?"

"I came to find Lei Sijing; I once promised him that if I ever came to Hell, I would look for him," Shawn replied;

That was indeed true; during the earlier planar battle, Lei Sijing had invited him, and he had agreed—just to come and play, time being limitless; even as a Great Perfection, befriending a Lord God's descendant wouldn't tarnish his status.

The Zijing Lord God smiled, "Alright, he'll be here soon."

She was delighted that her son could befriend a Great Perfection; after all, with a Great Perfection's pride, even a Lord God might not be able to become a sincere friend;

Though she was the third‑strongest Lord God of Hell, she still had no friends of Great Perfection rank.

In no time, Lei Sijing arrived, "Ha ha, Shawn, you finally came looking for me."

"Jingjing, Shawn, I won't disturb you further," he said, and the Zijing Lord God's energy avatar dispersed instantly.

Seeing the Lord God leave, Shawn smiled, "I've been planning to wander Hell lately, so I started with the Zijing Mist Sea; there are so many amethysts here."

"It's just what my mother made; take as much as you want, but it won't mean much to you," Lei Sijing laughed.

Shawn nodded, "Right, not much."

"Come, I'll take you for a tour; the Zijing Mountains are still vast," Lei Sijing said with a smile.

Shawn agreed, not revealing his true aim; although acquiring the Lord God Rank was urgent, it wasn't pressing at that moment;

In the following years, Shawn traveled around the Zijing Mist Sea with Lei Sijing, seeing many sights, including the pond Lei Sijing constantly boasted about, formed from Destruction Lord God's Power.

"With that Lord God's Power, no wonder the Four Sacred Beast families have so much of it," Shawn said with a smile.

Lei Sijing replied, "Yes, the Lord God families never lack Lord God's Power, but those who roam outside still have limits; my mother said there are certain agreements among Lord Gods regarding this;

Otherwise, for a Lord God, the power would be endless, and if each clan member possessed too much, it would devalue the Lord God's Power."

"Deliberate control?" Shawn retorted, "Why?"

Lei Sijing asked with a smile, "What is the core that the Lord God uses to control the Divine Plane?"

"The Lord God army? Or a demon castle? A city?" Shawn replied.

Lei Sijing shook his head, "None of those. The core is actually the Lord God's Power itself, making the Divine Plane's Lord God's Power extremely scarce; with just a single drop, countless Seven‑Star Demons—or Asura‑ranked beings—would fight desperately, willing to obey many of the Lord God's commands for a few drops;

Hence the Lord God families must limit their Lord God's Power, even the Four Sacred Beast families do so."

"Makes sense," Shawn agreed, finding some logic.

If a Lord God family's upper deity possessed several hundred drops of Lord God's Power, it could likely trade with some Asura‑ranked beings.
