War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“This box…” Duan Ling Tian discovered the box was quite heavy after the Old Prophet had passed it over to him. He did not know what the box was made from.

Even Chen Yi Ru who was a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial could not open it. “Master, there’s nothing I can do…” He said helplessly before passing the box back to Duan Ling Tian.

Void cracks could be seen slowly closing up around Chen Yi Ru when he passed the box back to Duan Ling Tian. This was from his attacks when he attempted to open the box earlier.

“Elementary Devouring Technique!” Duan Ling Tian cast his assist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Technique as soon as the box was passed back to him. He absorbed all the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in his surroundings to raise his strength so he could cast the Sword Wielding Art, the third stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword, to open the box.

Whoosh!

The wind howled briefly before a destructive and oppressive sword qi shot out of Duan Ling Tian’s palm toward the sealed box. Void cracks instantly appeared in the sword qi’s wake. The void cracks were long and wide, it seemed like it would take an hour or so just to close up.

Duan Ling Tian did not think his attack that was comparable to the strength of a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial would be able to open the box since Chen Yi Ru failed to open the box even after he had unleashed all his strength. However, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the white sword qi turned into liquid when it landed on the box. It did not take long before the box snapped open.

Click!

When Duan Ling Tian saw this, he thought to himself, ‘It seems like the Formation on the box responded to the Sovereign Heart Sword that Senior Feng Qing Yang created!’

“Master… Your sword technique earlier is only comparable to that of a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial’s attack, right? Why did the box open so easily?” Chen Yi Ru asked with a baffled expression on his face.

Chen Yi Ru was not the only one, everyone had a puzzled expression on their faces as well. They did not know what had happened. Although the attack that Duan Ling Tian had used was more powerful than Chen Yi Ru’s attack, it was not that much stronger. However, the results were poles apart!

“This is due to the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method Sovereign Heart Sword that Senior Feng Qing Yang left behind. I used that technique to open the box,” Duan Ling Tian explained to everyone as his eyes were fixed on the open box.

A brass ball lay quietly inside of the box. A complex pattern that looked like words was engraved on the ball. Duan Ling Tian could not ascertain if they were just patterns or words.

“So this is the key to open the Sword Saint Secret Zone?” Duan Ling Tian held the brass ball in his hand as he studied it. He did not find anything special about the engravings.

Everyone was looking at the brass ball as well at this moment.

Soon after, the Old Prophet said, “Try to infuse your Celestial Origin Energy into the ball…”

When Duan Ling Tian heard this, he did not waste any time and quickly infused his Celestial Origin Energy into the brass ball. It did not take long before he discovered that the brass ball was like a starving infant who was greedily absorbing his Celestial Origin Energy as though it was milk. It only stopped when it depleted more than half of his Celestial Origin Energy.

“Hmm?” At this moment, Duan Ling Tian felt a surge of energy from the brass ball that pushed his hand away. After that, the ball levitated in the air and the patterns on the brass ball were illuminated. The light from the patterns grew brighter and brighter as time passed. It looked extremely dazzling!

“What’s this?” Everyone’s attention was focused on the brass ball at this moment.

Boom!

The sound of an explosion rang in the air and everyone present saw their vision turning white. It seemed as though the light of an explosion had blinded them. At the same time, a surge of formidable but gentle energy began to push them away from each other.

When everyone regained their footing and sight, they quickly turned to look at the brass ball just to discover a hole in the void. There were vortexes spinning around the hole as though the vortexes were keeping the hole open. The hole did not show any signs of closing at all.

‘Is this the point of entrance and exit for the Sword Saint Secret Zone?’ Everyone shared the same thought at this moment when they looked at the hole that led to who-knows-where.

…

Meanwhile, in a few mundane realms, mysterious energies that surrounded the holes in each of the mundane realms had disappeared, granting one entry to the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone.

“What…”

“Is the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone open?”

“Heavens! It’s been 30,000 years since it last opened. It’s finally open again!”

The people that discovered the holes had opened were shocked when they saw this.

…

Earth, where Duan Ling Tian was from, was also one of the mundane realms that held the key to the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. Earth was in a huge mundane realm that encompassed a vast universe with many planets and galaxies. Earth was as tiny as a speck of dust in this mundane realm. Despite its size, earth when it was known as Planet Yan Huang was one of the few rare planets that allowed its inhabitants to cultivate. In other words, this meant that the inhabitants could absorb the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy to strengthen themselves.

At that time, Planet Yan Huang produced many legendary cultivators whom Duan Ling Tian thought were from myths and ancient legends. Sun Wukong, Zhu Ba Jie, and Ne Zha were a few of those said cultivators. However, after more and more cultivators appeared, it did not take long before the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy on the planet was depleted. For this reason, many cultivators from Planet Yan Huang also began to move away.

Afterward, Planet Yan Huang that had been depleted of Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy became known as earth. The number of cultivators grew lesser and people became weaker that one did not need much strength to rule earth.

On the other hand, the cultivators that moved away from Planet Yan Huang moved to some planets that were rich with Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy and laid down their roots there.

The Celestial Masters Sect was an ancient sect that moved away from Planet Yan Huang previously. The ancestor of the Celestial Masters Sect was Celestial Master Zhang from the ancient myths and legends!

Currently, the Celestial Masters Sect had gained control over a galaxy. The headquarters of the Celestial Masters Sect was located on a planet that was a few times bigger than earth.

“The Beyond Heaven Secret Zone is open!”

The entire Celestial Masters Sect had broken out in an uproar when they heard news of this!

“The Beyond Heaven Secret Zone’s key from another mundane realm has finally been opened! It’s been close to 20,000 years since the key has been used!”

“Only when the key is used will the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone in the mundane realms open again!”

“I hope the powerhouses in the Celestial Masters Sect will have fortuitous encounters when they enter the secret zone and grow significantly stronger!”

“What a pity the Celestial Masters Sect isn’t the only who’s privy to the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. We’ll have to face a lot of competitors once we enter the secret zone. The competitors are from our mundane realm and other mundane realms as well!”

Regardless, the people from the Celestial Masters Sect were boiling with excitement when they learned that the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone had opened again.

Currently, in the mundane realm where earth was located, there were many sects apart from the Celestial Masters Sect. Some were stronger and some were weaker. However, they had one thing in common at this moment. All of them were rushing to enter the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone! All of them knew where the point of entrance and exit of the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone was located but it was sealed before this. How could they not rush there now that it was open?
