Chapter 1331 - 959: World Barrier

After hearing Zhang Chen’s words, the crowd didn’t say much, as there was still some time to wait.

"Esteemed ancestors, the Feng Shui Grand Array has been repaired; may I take my leave?" Zhang Chen tentatively asked.

If he could leave the underground passage at this moment, when he extracts the Power of the World, the suspicion on him would be smaller.

"This world passage has only just stabilized. It’s unknown if there are still any flaws. You should stay here for now. If there’s any oversight, we can promptly address it." The Royal Family Ancestor said.

Upon hearing the words of the Royal Family Ancestor, Zhang Chen could only wait helplessly. After another three hours passed, the Feng Shui Grand Array was completely stabilized, and the Spiritual World and Material Realm were anchored, two previously separate worlds were connected at this moment.

At the moment the Feng Shui Grand Array was repaired and the two worlds linked, a vast mysterious energy surged out from within the space passage. The mysterious energy within the space was like a tidal wave, surging vigorously, nourishing everyone’s bodies. The ancestors, who were about to exhaust their lifespan, felt their bodies strengthened under the nourishment of that energy, and their seemingly rusted bodies became much more agile.

"Such powerful and rich energy, the other side must be a thriving Great World with incredible Creation." The ancestral figure of the Great Victory Dynasty, noticing the change in his body, was so excited that his whole body trembled, and he quickly stepped into the passage.

Mr. Da and others also flashed their eyes, and followed quickly towards the direction of the space passage.

Zhang Chen, seeing this, was also helpless. He could only follow behind, and all the way to the end of the space passage, he saw that the end of the space passage was a transparent barrier, mist swirling behind it. Through that mist, a hazy Great World could seemingly be seen, where strange flowers and grasses bloomed with divine brilliance, magnificent mountains reached up to the heavens and stood majestic, cranes danced in the clouds, and divine beasts roamed between Heaven and Earth, roaring at the stars.

Standing at the end of the passage, everyone gazed at this elusive world, and couldn’t help but become enchanted! Each one was filled with excitement, and the mysterious Qi mechanism within their bodies could hardly be contained, seemingly ready to spill out at any moment.

"There must be longevity elixirs in this world that can extend lifespan!" The ancestor of the Great Victory Dynasty was filled with fervor as he looked at the transparent barrier and, without further ado, took big strides forward, intending to break through it and enter the mysterious world on the other side.

However, as soon as he touched that transparent barrier, a divine light flickered on the barrier, and like a wall, it directly sent the black-robed ancestor stumbling back with a muffled grunt, knocking him back more than ten steps, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"You! Did you meddle with it?"

At this time, someone realized something was amiss, quickly surrounding Zhang Chen, and asked with a cold voice.

Hearing this, Zhang Chen bitterly smiled and shook his head: "All the ancestors are here, how would I dare to meddle in front of all of you? I haven’t tired of living yet."

"Then what’s with this barrier?" One of the ancestors from the Great Victory Dynasty pointed at the transparent barrier and asked.

"That’s the world barrier, the power between this unknown world and the world we are in. Although the two worlds have merged and anchored, the world barrier has not disappeared. To cross from one world to another, one must break the barrier between them. The Feng Shui Grand Array only serves to anchor the two worlds, bringing them close and fitting together. To enter the other world, you must have the power to break the world barrier." Zhang Chen explained.

If there were no world barrier, according to the rule of high concentration flowing to low concentration, wouldn’t all the energy from the Spiritual World flow into the Great Thousand Worlds?

This is also the reason Zhang Chen dared to bring the others to the world barrier. Unless they activate Innate Spiritual Treasures to shatter the world barrier, they cannot enter the other world.

And of the three Innate Spiritual Treasures of the Great Victory Dynasty, the judgment has been shattered by Black Impermanence; only two Innate Spiritual Treasures remain, one of which is still in the hands of Chai Zhu, an ancestor of the Great Victory Dynasty, holding back the Peacock Ancestor. Currently, the Royal Family of the Great Victory Dynasty can only muster one Innate Spiritual Treasure.

However, transmitting information to mobilize an Innate Spiritual Treasure takes time, and this time presents Zhang Chen with the perfect opportunity to take action.

As for why he called these people to the end of the space passage to witness the Eighteenth Heaven, Zhang Chen also wanted to demonstrate to everyone that he had completed his task, thus establishing his merit, resolving his identity issues as a matter of course, and ensuring the Great Victory Dynasty could not pursue it further.

He has connected two worlds, and they’ve seen the world on the other side, completing his task. As for breaking the world barrier, that is no longer his concern.

Zhang Chen understood that breaking the world barrier is not a simple matter; it’s akin to ascending. In the past, countless cultivators wished to ascend to the Thirty-Three Heavens yet were extremely rare, showing just how difficult it is to enter.

Much like when he entered the Thirty-Three Heavens for the first time, the Divine Being who ascended into the Spiritual World paid an incredibly tragic price.

Zhang Chen’s mind was filled with countless thoughts, spinning constantly as he humbly explained the intricacies, trying to exempt himself from any involvement.

He contemplated whether, when the Queen Mother of the West made her move to pluck the world, he could ask her to conveniently press down all the ancestors of the Great Victory Dynasty present.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen secretly transmitted a message into the Ice Hell. Upon hearing Zhang Chen’s words, the Queen Mother of the West immediately opposed without thinking: "No! Absolutely not! Definitely not!"

"For you, it would be no more than a flick of a finger..." Zhang Chen felt a bit dissatisfied upon hearing the Queen Mother of the West’s refusal.

"They are imbued with the most potent Qi mechanism of this world. Who knows what form the Heavenly Dao of this world has evolved into? If I take action against them, I will surely draw the attention of the Heavenly Dao, and who knows what kind of trouble that might cause." The Queen Mother of the West fearfully refused.

Upon hearing the reason for the Queen Mother of the West’s refusal, Zhang Chen felt somewhat anxious: "Is there still Heavenly Dao in this era?"

"Of course there is! The End of Dharma Tribulation was initiated by the Heavenly Dao. Although it affected the Heavenly Dao, it wasn’t enough to lead to its obliteration and collapse, so you must be cautious when employing your methods. Be careful not to cause too much commotion, lest you get noticed by the Heavenly Dao. If you cause too much disturbance and the Heavenly Dao wants to destroy you, I won’t be able to save you."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen fell silent, a feeling of dread rising within him, as his apprehension of the Heavenly Dao reached its peak.

Just as countless thoughts swirled in Zhang Chen’s mind, the masters of the Great Victory Dynasty gathered before the world’s barrier, their eyes fixed upon it, discussing how to open it.

After a while, Mr. Da turned his head to look at Zhang Chen: "Can the Feng Shui Grand Array be used to open this world’s barrier?"

"The Feng Shui Grand Array relies on the Power of the Earth Veins, and at the junction of the two world’s barriers, there is no Dragon Vein connection. The Feng Shui Grand Array cannot extend across, making it impossible to break the barrier," Zhang Chen spread his hands, adopting a helpless stance.

Upon hearing Zhang Chen’s words, a hint of disappointment flashed in everyone’s eyes. Mr. Da said, "My cultivation has reached the Twelfth Tier, let me give it a try."

As he spoke, Mr. Da stepped forward to stand before the space passage.

Zhang Chen watched Mr. Da’s back, shaking his head inwardly. Trying to break the space passage at the Twelfth Tier is simply impossible; one would need at least Taiyi Realm strength to break the space passage.

The Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth Tiers correspond to the Three Calamities Realm of Immortal Dao, which respectively align with the three calamities of Wind, Fire, and Thunder. Passing the Three Calamities leads to the true Fruit Position of a Celestial Immortal.

Can the Fruit Position of a Celestial Immortal break the world’s barrier? That’s utterly ridiculous!

Unless the other party possesses an Innate Spiritual Treasure, utilizing it to exert power beyond their level, it might be possible to shake the space passage. After all, even to reach ascension, the princess had to rely on Zhang Chen’s Golden Scissors to shatter the world’s barrier.

Mr. Da reached the space passage, and in the next moment, a Mysterious Power enveloped his body. Following this, a Golden Light shot out, transforming into a streak and shooting toward the world’s barrier in front. Then came a loud clang as the streak was bounced back, and Mr. Da trembled all over, spewing a mouthful of blood.

"Mr. Da stepped into the Twelfth Tier not because he possesses an Innate Spiritual Treasure; the source of his Twelfth Tier strength is a mysterious life form imbued with Power of Life." With Zhang Chen’s current cultivation, it only took a glance to see through Mr. Da’s reality.

"How could this be? Even you can’t open the world’s barrier. How are we to cross it to enter the new world?" The ancestors of the Great Victory Dynasty changed their expressions, their eyes turned dark.

"Perhaps we could mobilize an Innate Spiritual Treasure to have a chance of piercing the world’s barrier and entering the mysterious world beyond," Zhou Qiucheng spoke up, "of course, if everyone works together to attack the world’s barrier, it remains uncertain whether it can be shaken."

At these words, the eyes of the ancestors of the Great Victory Dynasty flickered, "Innate Spiritual Treasures are related to the Royal Family’s Qi mechanism and cannot be used lightly. Everyone, let us join forces to attack the world’s barrier and see if we can shake its power."

Once the elder of the Royal Family finished speaking, everyone began to mobilize their inner Qi mechanism. Terrifying energy streams circulated and blasted toward the world’s barrier.

Seeing this, Zhang Chen shook his head in secret. The Fruit Position Realm above the Immortal Dao and the realms below the Immortal Dao are entirely different levels. The two are incomparable; a multitude of ants cannot measure up to an elephant’s casual stomp.
