"The Great Emperor of Heaven Beyond Heavens," whispered Xu Zii.
Then he looked at Emperor Qitian and said, "What trade do you wish to make?"
"If one day you go to Heaven Beyond Heavens, head to the Southern Domain and find a force nad Haotian Sect," Emperor Qitian spoke as the spiritual energy on the surface of his body surged.
Next to him, a space tore open, and a jade-like token floated out from it.
"Deliver this jade pendant to a man nad Qi Haoran of the Haotian Sect."
Xu Zii took the jade pendant, which was warm and lustrous. On the front, there were a few crooked characters that Xu Zii did not recognize.
On the back was a colossal beast that seed to be splitting heaven and earth apart, holding up the firmant with its hands, its head enormous.
"What can I gain?" Xu Zii asked.
"How much do you know about Heaven Beyond Heavens?" Emperor Qitian inquired.
"I basically know nothing," Xu Zii shook his head and replied.
"Let give you a brief introduction," Emperor Qitian said.
In the following fifteen minutes, Emperor Qitian roughly introduced the situation of Heaven Beyond Heavens to Xu Zii.
Xu Zii nodded slightly. This information wasn’t much, but it was extrely important.
"This isn’t enough," Xu Zii shook his head and said.
For this matter, he wasn’t only going to assist by making a trip to the Haotian Sect but was also going to make an enemy of the Myriad Flowers Fairy. The benefits gained did not warrant the cost.
"Of course, I am aware of that," said Emperor Qitian with a smile. "Have you heard about the ancient top ten divine laws that have always been circulated in our Heaven Beyond Heavens?"
"The ancient top ten divine laws?" Xu Zii frowned slightly before shaking his head.
The people of Yuan Central Continent knew very little about Heaven Beyond Heavens, only that it was a vast world with countless strong beings.
But specific details were hard to co by.
"Yes, I won’t go into the events of the ancient era, but you simply need to know that the ancient top ten divine laws are recognized in the whole Heaven Beyond Heavens as the strongest thods of cultivation," Emperor Qitian explained.
"Any of these thods can cause the major forces to race against each other and fight tooth and nail for it," he continued.
"Interesting," Xu Zii nodded slightly.
"Actually, in addition to the ten divine laws, there are also ten Divine Veins, which you will co to understand later," Emperor Qitian said.
"And our Haotian Sect controls one of those ten divine laws, the Heaven-shaking Skill."
"Are you offering this divine thod as my compensation?" Xu Zii asked.
"This is the best thing I know of, you may consider it," Emperor Qitian said.
"The Heaven-shaking Skill is exclusive to our Haotian Sect; no one else can learn it.
And even within the Haotian Sect, only the Sect Master is entitled to study it.
By imparting it to you privately like this, I am already committing a grave taboo. Alas, circumstances wait for no one."
"Deal," Xu Zii pondered for a mont and then nodded faintly.
"Open up your mind, and I will transmit the technique into your consciousness.
Given my current state, I can only demonstrate it once, so watch carefully," said Emperor Qitian.
At that mont, Xu Zii closed his eyes slightly, and his vision reached the end where all was dark.
"Thump thump thump," as if a sound ca from that ancient darkness, bringing life to this suffocating space for the first ti.
"Demon Palm controls space, Divine Palm controls Yin and Yang, Zhen shakes the past and present, the ultimate force can shake the nine heavens."
Soone awoke from the slumber in the darkness, stepping on the earth, hands supporting the firmant.
With every step, splitting heaven and dividing earth, with the extre force overturning seas and pulling mountains, stirring winds and clouds, plucking moons and grasping suns, controlling space.
"This vast land, who decides its rise and fall!"
A roar erupted, and from the darkness erged a light, as the figure of grand stature took steps to carve a path through the chaotic world.
With one punch, heaven and earth shattered; with one palm, sun and moon were extinguished.
He employed no techniques or skills, rely pure strength, and with that ordinary force, he wielded the power to destroy worlds.
When the drumming of iron halberds echoed from the ancient Great Wilderness, the War God who towered over the nine heavens took force as his Way, creating the Heaven-shaking Skill and laying waste to the world.
In the mont when Xu Zii closed his eyes, the jade pendant in his hand emitted a gentle glow.
The light flowed into his mind, embedding the essence of the Heaven-shaking Skill deep within his body.
Xu Zii slowly opened his eyes; this was the second ti he had encountered a combat art of this level.
The first, of course, had been the Demonic Ten Skills taught to him by the previous generation’s Demon Lord.
Although Xu Zii had not yet mastered the Heaven-shaking Skill, Emperor Qitian had transferred all his insights to him.
In the future, his cultivation of it would indeed be twice as effective with half the effort.
Xu Zii looked down at the jade pendant in his hand and said, "If I’m not mistaken, this pendant should be the legacy item for the Heaven-shaking Skill."
"You are correct," Emperor Qitian said with a wry smile, ultimately unable to keep it concealed.
He continued, "To learn the Heaven-shaking Skill, one must inherit it through this jade pendant, otherwise it is unattainable."
"No wonder you went out of your way to have bring it to the Haotian Sect; it turns out to be an item of legacy," Xu Zii said.
"Does that make you the Sect Master of Haotian Sect then?"
"Hardly, I’m rely acting as Sect Master," Emperor Qitian shook his head.
"Now, I can only trust in you, please take care of this."
"Do you want to help break these chains?" Xu Zii nodded and asked Emperor Qitian.
"No need, I am a sinner of my Sect Gate, I’d rather die with this sea of flas and rest eternally in this world," said Emperor Qitian as he shook his head.
"We shall not et again in this life," Xu Zii replied, and then left that space with the Divine Emperor.
The great fire consud everything, burying all within the sea of flas.
As they walked towards the portal, upon passing the iron chain bridge again, Xu Zii finally understood where the mysterious power in that space originated.
He looked at the vibrant blossoms growing around the iron chain bridge and smiled faintly, "Myriad Flowers Fairy."
...…
Upon leaving the portal, the outside world of Huayuan Mountain was still encircled by many Loose Cultivators unwilling to depart.
But none dared to truly enter.
"Let him spend his remaining days in peace," Xu Zii said to the Divine Emperor.
The Divine Emperor nodded slightly. With a wave of his hands, he enveloped the area in a barrier.
As Xu Zii and his companion departed, the surrounding Loose Cultivators grew restless, yet none dared to step forward.
The two left the borders of Huayuan Sect and headed straight for White Bone City.
White Bone City was not constructed of bones, but built from white rock and stone.
Its entirety was pure white, with stones that would emit a faint glow like fireflies even in darkness.
Speaking of White Bone City, one must ntion a figure, White Bone Heavenly Venerate.
Centuries ago, before the city was built, the land upon which it stood was known as the perilous Dark Marsh.
This dangerous place was uninhabited, and it was said that only those with formidable cultivation could venture within.
