War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 2394 Entering One By One

There were a total of five keys to the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone that were placed in five mundane realms. If one had the key, one would be able to open the entrance to the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. Otherwise, the entrance would be barred by a mysterious energy. However, once the final key was used, the point of entrance and exit in all the mundane realms would open as well! Now that the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone had opened in all the mundane realms, this meant that Duan Ling Tian’s key was the final key.

Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, unaware of all this.

…

In the northern region. In a valley surrounded by ice mountains and white fog.

“The Beyond Heaven Secret Zone is finally open! Our Seven Absolutes Sect will regain our former glory!” The Old Prophet looked emotional as he stared at the hole in front of him. As someone from the previous generation of successors of the Seven Absolutes Sect and also the person with the highest seniority in the sect, he was, naturally, moved when he thought about the Seven Absolutes Sect regaining its former glory similar to when Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang was around. When he looked at the entrance to the Sword Saint Secret Zone and the successors of the Absolutes who were about to enter the secret zone, it was as though he could already see the sect regaining its former reputation.

Similar to everyone present, the Old Prophet was unaware that the Sword Saint Secret Zone was the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone! How could they know that everything in the zone was not left behind by Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang? Most importantly, they did not know that the people from the Seven Absolutes Sect were not the only ones who would be entering the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. Many powerhouses from the other four mundane realms would be going into the secret zone as well. In fact, there were thousands upon thousands of people who were rushing to enter the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone in one of the mundane realms at this moment. There was no lack of powerful Bodiless Celestials among these people.

“San Dao, we should arrive at the Sword Saint Secret Zone after entering the hole. Junior Uncle Prophet has said that those over the age of 100 won’t be able to enter the secret zone. Why don’t you give it a try and see if it’s true,” Duan Ling Tian said to Chen Yi Ru.

“Yes, master,” Chen Yi Ru replied with a nod. He did not waste any time and attempted to leap into the hole immediately. As soon as he approached the hole, he could clearly sense an oppressive energy that came from the vortexes that prevented the hole from closing. That energy made him feel as though he would be turned into ash and disappear from the world immediately if he had come in contact with it. However, he discovered that the energy did not seem to repel him. For this reason, his courage grew and he hastened his speed as he charged headlong into the hole. In just a blink of an eye, his hand had already touched the hole.

As Chen Yi Ru’s body was further drawn into the hole, leaving only his upper body visible at the moment, he quickly said to Duan Ling Tian. “Master, I think that I should be able to enter the secret zone! The force is winding around my arm and pulling me in at an increasing speed.”

“You should go in then.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. He felt sincerely happy for Chen Yi Ru. After all, a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial like Chen Yi Ru should be able to benefit greatly after entering the secret zone that was left behind by Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang.

“Master, I’ll wait for you on the other side.” Chen Yi Ru only managed to say these words before he was completely pulled in.

Everyone present on the scene only managed to recover from their shock after Chen Yi Ru had entered the hole.

“I thought those over the age of 100 can’t enter the Sword Saint Secret Zone? Duan Ling Tian’s follower is a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, right? He’s an old monster who has lived for 4,000 years. Does this mean anyone can just enter the Sword Saint Secret Zone?” Nangong Yi exclaimed in shock.

‘What… What’s going on?’ The Old Prophet was baffled. Based on the records that were passed down in the Seven Absolutes Sect, it was said that those who were older than 100 years old would not be able to enter the Sword Saint Secret Zone. Moreover, these words came directly from Sword Saint Qing Feng Yang. ‘Is it possible that Bodiless Celestials are exempted from this rule?’

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian speculated out loud, “The most direct manner to examine a person’s age is by examining the body first. Since Bodiless Celestials’ bodies are different from normal humans, it could be the reason why they’re exempted from the rules.”

The truth was Duan Ling Tian had guessed correctly. The Sword Saint Secret Zone, or the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone, had an age restriction for those above 100 years old. However, this did not apply to Bodiless Celestials. Based on this, one could see that those who were able to enter the secret zone were either geniuses or powerful Bodiless Celestials. Those who had a cultivation base lower than the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage would definitely die if they entered the secret zone.

“Duan Ling Tian, my brother and I are going to enter the secret zone now. You should hurry as well,” Nangong Yi said before he entered the Sword Saint Secret Zone with his twin brother, Nangong Chen. It did not take long before both of them vanished into thin air.

Duan Ling Tian turned to the Old Prophet and asked, “Junior Uncle Prophet, how long will the point of entrance and exit for the Sword Saint Secret Zone stay open?”

“It’s said that it’ll stay open for ten years,” the Old Prophet said. This information also came from Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang.

“Ten years…” Duan Ling Tian glanced at Gan Ru Yan as soon as he heard the Old Prophet’s words. Sure enough, her eyes had brightened immediately. He said to her solemnly, “With your current innate talent, I think you’ll be able to break through to the Seven Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in one or two years. At that time, you can enter the secret zone if you want to. Although it’s said that even those at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage can also enter, there’s a high chance you might not survive in there.”

“Aren’t the Nangong Twins at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage? If they can enter, there’s no reason for me not to enter as well. I’m definitely going to enter the Sword Saint Secret Zone when I break through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!” Gan Ru Yan said indignantly.

“Miss Ru Yan,” the Old Prophet said gently, “The sect leader is only reminding you out of kindness. The Nangong twins are the successors of the Didymus Progeny. They bear the important responsibility of reviving Seven Absolutes Sect. Even if the path ahead of them is treacherous and filled with danger, they would still have to charge ahead. This is their responsibility and mission!” His expression turned solemn when he reached the end of his sentence. After a while, he continued to say, “You’re different. You have nothing to do with the Seven Absolutes Sect. It’s perilous inside the Sword Saint Secret Zone. It’s best if you don’t enter even after you’ve broken through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.”

“Who says I have nothing to do with the Seven Absolutes Sect?” Gan Ru Yan glanced at Ke’er and said, “The Sect Leader of Seven Absolutes Sect is my brother-in-law. As his sister-in-law, I’m duty bound to help with the revival of the sect! I’ll definitely enter the Sword Saint Secret Zone after I break through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!”

Ever since Gan Ru Yan met the female members of the Seven Absolutes Sect like Feng Tian Wu, Han Xue Nai, and Mu Yi Yi, she had lost the superior air she had when she was in the Fire Worship Sect. She was a naturally competitive person. Since the opportunity to raise her strength had presented itself to her, how could she let it go?

This was the Sword Saint Secret Zone that was left behind by Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang! The man was capable of killing Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial and possessed strength comparable to Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial even though he was just an Eminent Celestial at that time. So far, he was the only one capable of such a feat in the history of the Dao Martial Saint Land. How could Gan Ru Yan bear to let go of entering the secret zone that was left behind by such an impressive person?

Duan Ling Tian had known Gan Ru Yan for quite a while now. Although they did not spend much time together, he knew her quite well. For this reason, he knew it would be difficult to change her mind once she had made up her mind. He did not try to dissuade her and only said, “Do as you please. Just be careful.”

At this moment, Qing Huo, Gan Ru Yan’s master, spoke up, “I’ll join Ru Yan at that time.” Although his cultivation base was at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, he had no thoughts of entering the Sword Saint Secret Zone. At his age, he understood how precious life was. However, the disciple he cherished like a daughter wanted to enter the secret zone so he could only risk his life to accompany her. If he did not accompany her, he would be filled with regrets for not following her for the rest of his life if something happened to her in there.
