Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 5452 Returning to the Heavenly Realm

The practitioners among them were numerous.

Even Emperor-level experts were visibly coming in and out.

The boundary leading to the heavenly realm lay within the city of Taiwu.

Taiwu City, under the control of the White Tiger Temple, nestled in the deepest mountains.

When the White Tiger Temple took control of the realm, there was a peak force on Taiwu Mountain. Because they surrendered quickly, they were allowed to remain.

During the time when the White Tiger Temple swept through the Four Great Secret Realms, they left no blade of grass untouched.

The force that remained now managed this super city.

Over countless epochs, this force, backed by the temple, flourished and surpassed the glory of ancient times. With three pinnacle experts and over ten tier 6 Emperors, it was the strongest force in the realm after the temple, without exception.

As Wu Zuo and the others approached, they directly entered without passing through the city gate.

To the Emperor-level individuals below, this scene seemed like a death wish. Apart from those from the temple, no one dared to cross the city gate from the sky; even tier 6 Emperors didnʼt have that privilege.

Just as many waited to watch the spectacle, a tier 6 Emperor who sat at the top of the Taiwu City wall personally ascended into the air to welcome Wu Zuo and the others.

Many were astonished, secretly speculating that a significant figure had arrived.

”Lord Wu Zuo, are you returning to the Heavenly Realm?” The newcomer looked very young, exuding a casual and indifferent aura, presenting an image of pampered elegance.

Wu Zuo had always looked down on these indigenous Emperors from the Four Great Secret Realms.

He only nodded slightly without speaking.

”Come this way!” The tier 6 Emperor led them into a teleportation array, and soon the spatial surroundings shifted, transporting them deep into the Taiwu Mountains.

Even within the city, teleportation arrays were a necessity, indicating the immense size of Taiwu City.

During the teleportation, the tier 6 Emperor used a special token, allowing them to arrive in a valley where grand palaces stood in abundance.

Each palace housed an Emperor-level powerhouse, and within this continuous array of palaces, there were at least tens of thousands of Emperors.

In the deepest palace, there resided an unparalleled powerhouse.

This place was one of the key locations in Taiwu City, directly connected to the boundary separating it from the Heavenly Realm.

”Wu Zuo Hall Master, Iʼve brought you here. I wish you all a safe journey!”

Wu Zuo feigned indifference, and after a round of thanks from Situ Nan, the group entered.

Once inside, both Jian Wushuang and Gong Miaoyi, who were visiting for the first time, were astonished.

The boundary!

Initially, they thought there wasnʼt much difference between traversing a boundary and a teleportation array. However, seeing it now, the disparity was immense.

The visibly shattered boundary was the sole pathway back to the heavenly realm.

At its core, the broken boundary was pitch-black and gloomy, resembling a black hole.

However, the power contained within surpassed that of a black hole, at least reaching a cosmic level.

To break a boundary like this required an immensely powerful force!

Undoubtedly, Shen Lingʼs assistance must have been involved.

The Four Great Secret Realms, though termed as realms, were more like universes.

Four universes interconnected, though not as vast as the true cosmos.

Combined, the Four Great Secret Realms could rival the entire Original Universe.

But this range was already enormous, with the crucial factor being the significantly greater number of powerhouses compared to the Original Universe.

After all, having existed for countless epochs, it was only natural for them to be more powerful than the external world. How many epochs had passed since the birth of the Original Universe, and there were only a few tier 5 Emperors.

The Four Great Secret Realms had existed since ancient times, forged with numerous formidable beings. Coupled with the ancient legacies and the accumulation of countless epochs, their profound foundation was not surprising.

Most importantly, there was the inheritance.

With guidance from predecessors, it was much stronger than fumbling through the river by feeling the stones.

Take individuals like Zhen Wuyang; when they entered the Qishen Temple, they were almost stagnant, relying on grasping the Origin Source of the Heavenly Dao to enhance their space. However, upon entering the Qishen Temple, under the new cultivation system, their growth was even faster. This was accumulated over countless years.

Accumulation led to breakthroughs.

Being able to reach the tier 4 Emperor without anyoneʼs guidance, entering the Qishen Temple, and rapidly advancing a level was nothing.

Among them, there was even hope for the birth of a Universe Master. Even if they fared the worst, they could become a peak-level tier 6 Emperor.

That was the terror of inheritance.

If the Qishen Temple had not appeared, Zhen Wuyang and others would have considered themselves fortunate to reach the tier 5 Emperor in their entire lives.

After entering the deep hall, a white-haired old man appeared in front of them, only a law body arriving.

The old man merged with the void, elusive.

”Qiu Jiu, sorry to trouble you!” Wu Zuo was unusually polite for once.

Although the newcomer was an indigenous Emperor of the Four Great Secret Realms, he was also a supreme-peak powerhouse, with formidable strength. Joining the Qishen Temple had restored a considerable amount of his Origin Source. Although it was still somewhat incomplete, his strength was not to be underestimated.

Qiu Jiu replied, ”Such trivial matters are not worth mentioning. When the Earth Realm is peaceful, I still need to trouble the Master of the Elder Palace. Donʼt mind it at that time!”

”Welcome anytime!”

Guided by Qiu Jiu, they stepped onto a suspended disc. Wu Zuo nodded at Qiu Jiu, and the disc instantly ascended.

Before they could react, they had entered the shattered boundary.

Legend has it that when the boundary was just broken, and one wanted to travel to the heavenly realm, the risk of falling midway was quite high. Later, the White Tiger Temple personally crafted a unique secret treasure that could protect oneself, solving this problem. Therefore, the path to the heavenly realm is now very safe, almost incident-free.

Unless someone acts recklessly within the boundary. In about the time it takes to draw a breath, the group reappeared, already in the Heavenly Realm.

Accompanying this was a different force from the one in the Earthly Realm.

This force was much gentler than the violent force in the Earthly Realm.

Among these people, only Gong Miaoyi had never been to the Heavenly Realm. Experiencing the power of the

Heavenly Realm for the first time, she found it somewhat peculiar and couldnʼt help but mobilize the surrounding force to gather within herself.

”Donʼt bother trying. You can cultivate as you please once weʼre out.” Jian Wushuang felt somewhat speechless. There were quite a few people around them, and Gong Miaoyi, who had never seen the world, made him lose face.

Although it was easy to enter the Heavenly Realm from the Earthly Realm, the location of the boundary was still set in Zhongzhou, the headquarters of the White Tiger Temple.

The elders of the Heavenly Realm and the White Tiger Temple were known to be at odds. It was common knowledge. Wu Zuo led them away directly without much stopover at the headquarters of the White Tiger Temple.

Of course, no one from the White Tiger Temple came out to greet them, all wearing stern expressions.

Gong Miaoyi curiously observed everything on the way and privately transmitted to Jian Wushuang, ”Is this the headquarters of the temple?”

”What you see is only a part of it. From what I know, the real White Tiger Temple can move. This place should be just the Heavenly Realmʼs nest,” Jian Wushuang had heard from Shan Jun about the Four Temples. They were four peak-grade Universe Treasures refined by Qishen, no weaker than the Beast God Weapons.
