Chapter 1104 Shattering the Void
On this day, Ye Qiu held the first grand meeting since the establishment of the Heavenly Courts in the Lingxiao Hall. Moreover, he would use this event to arrange his future plans. Now that the Heavenly Courts were on the right track and developing rapidly, Ye Qiu no longer needed to interfere.
What he really needed now was to go to the vast outer realm to unlock the secret of the Longevity Calamity after making all the arrangements.
In Ye Qiu's plan, the Heavenly Courts still existed even in the Heavens.
What he needed to do now was to head to the outer realm first and establish the Heavenly Courts there, preparing to accept the original Heavenly Courts and the students of the Deity Academy in the future.
The position of the Celestial Thearch was still held by Ye Qiu, but the person in charge of the Nine Heavens was temporarily taken over by Ye Qiu's head disciple. Xiao Jinse, Ye Qingxuan, Fuze, and the others helped manage it.
Xiao Jinse was the one who suggested this suggestion. This was because apart from Ye Qiu, no one else was convinced by this suggestion. Therefore, no matter who temporarily took over the Heavenly Courts, it was difficult to suppress these people. The best way was to let Ye Qiu's closest successor temporarily take over.
Although Lin Qingzhu was young, in reality, her current cultivation had already reached the Dao Sacrificial realm, an existence above the half-step Dao Sacrificial realm. No one in the entire peer generation could compare to such astonishing talent.
It could be said that she was Ye Qiu's most outstanding disciple. It was not difficult for her to reach above the Dao Sacrificial realm with her talent. Most importantly, she was Ye Qiu's chief head disciple. According to the traditional right to inheritance, she was the only one who satisfied the conditions.
Therefore, no one would object to her temporarily taking over.
Of course, it didn't matter if she had any objections because the nominal Celestial Thearch was still Ye Qiu. It was just that he wasn't in the Nine Heavens. As long as he wanted to come back, he could come back at any time.
This was just a nominal position. It was unimportant.
"I wish Celestial Thearch a safe journey!" In the Lingxiao Hall, everyone raised their cups and congratulated Ye Qiu for successfully ascending.
Ye Qiu smiled at the gods in the sky and also raised his glass to return it. Just like that, the Heavenly Courts Assembly ended. After instructing everything, Ye Qiu arrived at the Rising Dragon Platform. The million Heavenly Soldiers behind him looked up and watched this exciting scene.
This was the first time someone had ascended since the Heavenly Courts was established, and Ye Qiu would be the first person to ascend to the Heavens.
Standing in front of the Rising Dragon Platform, Ye Qiu let out a long sigh of relief, his heart filled with thoughts. He did not know what kind of world the outer realm was, let alone what danger he was about to face.
The path ahead was filled with fog. Be it the Strange Tian that caused chaos in the Immortal Ancient or the Demon Lord of a generation, Bai Yunfei, or the Immortal Emperor Wang from the mysterious Immortal Palace, and… the unknown evil from the unknown source, everything was unknown.
Before leaving, Ye Qiu went to the ruptured Heavenly Gate and temporarily blocked the incomplete gap with a supreme method. It blocked the invasion of the ominous aura, but it was not completely eliminated. In the future, perhaps there would be chaos and calamity in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
Ye Qiu believed that they could successfully survive this calamity. He had already done everything he could. The rest was up to them.
"Everyone! I'm waiting for you in the Heavens." In the end, Ye Qiu said this loudly and turned into ten thousand rays of light, disappearing from the Dragon Raising Platform.
"Goodbye, Celestial Thearch." Everyone shouted in unison to send him off, but Ye Qiu couldn't hear them anymore.
The moment the seal was unlocked, the power of an Immortal King instantly erupted, and the exclusion from the Heavenly Dao followed. Ye Qiu couldn't stay in this world for a long time. He followed the trajectory of the void crack and entered the Heavens.
After passing through the void crack, a cold and rotten aura pounced at him, making him refreshed. Ye Qiu felt his scalp go numb as he looked at the vast and dark world in front of him. "What an evil aura."
Although Ye Qiu had yet to reach the outer realm, that hair-raising aura had already covered the entire world. It couldn't even be removed from the void crack.
After breaking through a barrier, Ye Qiu appeared in the sea of stars. The Immortal Ancient Ruins that could be seen at any time floated alone in the universe. The outer realm was bigger and more terrifying than he had imagined. It was hard to imagine what kind of blow this once-existent Immortal Ancient civilization had suffered.
"Fellow Daoist, where did you come from and where are you going?"
Just as Ye Qiu was sizing up the ruins in front of him, he heard a voice and turned around. He realized that a sage-like old man was secretly sizing him up. He looked very righteous, but there was a trace of wretchedness and cunning in his eyes.
At first glance, Ye Qiu had already determined that this old man was definitely not a kind person. Or rather, he was not a good person. He had to guard against him to avoid being tricked.
"Junior Ye Qiu greets Senior." Ye Qiu was polite before resorting to force. As he guarded against the other party, he thought about how to get information from this old man. Then, he explained, "I came from the lower realm and had just arrived in the outer realm, so I lost my direction. I wonder if Senior can explain this outer realm to me?"
"Lower realm?" The old man immediately caught the keyword in Ye Qiu's words. Ascendant from the lower realm? Hearing this, his eyes instantly lit up, as if he had seen an opportunity to become rich. He was all smiles. "Hehe, so you're a little boy? Good, good, good. Looks like I'm destined to make a fortune today."
The old man almost revealed an evil smile as he thought to himself. However, how could he make such a low-level mistake after traveling the outer realm for so many years? He still had a righteous expression on his face. "So you're an ascendant from the lower realm. I'm Hongyi from the Heavenly Gate Mountain.
"Fellow Daoist, I see that your bones are amazing. You broke through the shackles of the Major Chiliocosm World at such a young age and ascended here. You must be a genius of your generation, a distinguished figure. I wonder which sect your master is from? Do you have any relatives in this outer realm?"
Daoist Hongyi wasn't in a hurry to attack. Instead, he asked about Ye Qiu's background before he attacked. As an experienced martial artist, if he didn't have any true ability, he wouldn't have been able to survive in this chaotic outer realm for so long.
Ye Qiu smiled when he heard this. He naturally guessed the old Daoist's intentions.
"Haha, as expected of a sly old fox! You're very experienced." Ye Qiu praised him in his heart. He could only describe this old Daoist's performance as perfect. It seemed like he had to deal with him carefully.
Although he looked harmless and not dangerous now, he might be tricked by him if he let down his guard. This kind of old fox was the most difficult to guard against! It was also the most detestable. Ye Qiu had no choice but to be careful.
"Senior, I indeed have a master in this outer realm. Unfortunately, when I ascended, there was a small deviation and I left the original trajectory. Now, I can't find the location of the sect. I hope Senior can guide me."
As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on Hongyi's face stopped. Damn it! So he had a background.
Wouldn't this make me happy for nothing?
