Chapter 306: First Entry into the Great Thousand World
"Everyone, rise!"
Xiao Tian withdrew his aura and lightly raised his hand, causing everyone to stand up straight. In that instant, those who supported Qing Tan were overjoyed. They never imagined that their hall master knew the Heavenly Emperor.
The Heavenly Emperor, the strongest being in the world, had slain the equally powerful Demon Emperor. Knowing someone like him, the Hall of Darkness would be under his protection.
It seemed that their hall master was more than just an acquaintance of the Heavenly Emperor; their relationship appeared to be very close.
"Could it be that our hall master is the Empress?"
Thinking of this, the elders of the Hall of Darkness became excited.
On the other hand, the Grand Elder and the opposing Supreme Elders looked as if they were attending a funeral. They had offended someone who was likely the Heavenly Emperor's woman. The Heavenly Emperor had no intention of forgiving them, as they remained kneeling on the ground.
"Heavenly Emperor, spare us!"
One of the Supreme Elders banged his head heavily on the black stone square, begging for mercy.
"Heavenly Emperor, it was all the Grand Elder's idea!"
Another Supreme Elder shifted all the blame onto the Grand Elder.
"Uncle, you..."
The Grand Elder was shocked that his own uncle betrayed him. It was under the secret orders of his master and uncle that he dared to challenge the hall master, but now they had sold him out.
"Forgiving you is impossible!"
Xiao Tian waved his sleeve, and the Grand Elder, along with the others who sided with him, were reduced to dust and disappeared from the world.
Killing a few Reincarnation Realm cultivators was trivial for him. Seeing two Reincarnation Realm experts and many Transformation Realm experts annihilated with a wave of Xiao Tian's hand, everyone present felt the overwhelming power of the Heavenly Emperor.
Although the elders of the Hall of Darkness felt that this weakened their strength, they dared not say anything. As long as Qing Tan remained their hall master, the Heavenly Emperor was behind them.
"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor, for helping the hall master remove the rebels!"
An elder shouted, and the others echoed. With this, Qing Tan was now the undisputed hall master of the Hall of Darkness, and no one dared to oppose her anymore.
...
In the following days, Xiao Tian stayed with Qing Tan for a few days, then visited Yan City to spend time with Zi Yue and Xuan Su. Afterward, he borrowed the essence of the Ancestral Symbols from their respective masters. With the power of the plane's embryo, Xiao Tian could catalyze the Ancestral Symbol essence to the level of the Ancestral Symbols.
...
Back on the Dou Qi Continent, in the Star Realm, Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun were still in seclusion. At their current pace, it would take them at least ten to twenty years to break through to the Dou Di. However, Zhu Kun could become a Quasi-Dou Di first and then consume the Emperor-Tier Young Pill to become a Dou Di, which would take about five years.
Upon returning, Xiao Tian did not disturb the two in seclusion but sought out Yao Lao.
"Master, I've returned this time to prepare for a journey to the world beyond the Dou Qi Continent," Xiao Tian said.
"Isn't it dangerous beyond the Dou Qi Continent?" Yao Lao was worried.
Xiao Tian smiled, "Don't worry, although Dou Di is not the strongest there, with the Space Door, I can always escape if I can't win."
Yao Lao nodded, "Take care and don't overdo it."
"Understood."
With that, Xiao Tian disappeared. Before leaving, he collected all twenty-two Heavenly Flames. Then, he ascended, following the plane passage to leave.
Once outside, he used the power of the plane's master to move the Tianxuan Continent closer to the Dou Qi Continent. The Tianxuan Continent's previous location was too close to the extraterrestrial evil clans. Who knew if other evil clans besides the Demon Clan knew that the Tianxuan Continent held the plane's embryo? If they attacked while he was away, it would be disastrous. After all, he needed the plane's embryo to break through to Tian Zun.
Having taken care of that, Xiao Tian traveled further through the void, gathering his full power to strike at the void.
"Boom!"
With a tremendous sound, the void was torn apart by his attack. Beyond the tear was another world—the Great Thousand World.
...
In the Great Thousand World, in the Extreme West, there was a place called the Little Western Heaven Realm, filled with countless continents and numerous forces. The rulers of this realm were the Four Great Divine Clans.
"Crack!"
Within the domain governed by the Luo God Clan, a spatial rift appeared, and a majestic figure slowly emerged—Xiao Tian.
"So this is the Great Thousand World?" Xiao Tian murmured as he surveyed his surroundings.
Sensing the disturbance, the space was torn again, forming a massive spatial vortex.
"Swish!"
An old man in black robes emerged from the vortex. With white hair and beard, the old man's face was aged, but he exuded a fearsome pressure that made the surrounding space tremble.
The old man saw Xiao Tian and the slowly healing plane passage. Feeling Xiao Tian's unfathomable aura, the old man was inwardly shocked, "I didn't expect someone from a lower plane to be so powerful. It's best not to make an enemy of him."
With that in mind, the old man cupped his hands slightly, "I am Luo Tianshen. Greetings, young friend. Are you from a lower plane?"
"So you are the clan leader of the Luo God Clan, Luo Tianshen. I've heard of your reputation."
Xiao Tian cupped his hands in return. He knew a bit about Luo Tianshen. In the story "The Great Ruler," Xiao Yan faced the problem of Dou Qi assimilation when he first arrived in the Great Thousand World. Luo Tianshen sensed his presence and helped him complete the assimilation. Luo Tianshen was also the grandfather of Luo Li, the first beauty of the Great Thousand World. His strength was only at the peak of the Upper Supreme level, far inferior to the Demon Emperor.
"I didn't expect young friend to have heard of me," Luo Tianshen said, not too surprised. Many lower planes were once connected to the Great Thousand World, and many strong individuals from those planes had interacted with the Great Thousand World.
"Would you like to join the Luo God Clan and become a guest elder?" Luo Tianshen offered. "If you join, I will provide you with cultivation resources and divine abilities."
"I am used to wandering freely and dislike restrictions," Xiao Tian declined directly. He was about to break through to Tian Zun and would not be confined by a mere Luo God Clan.
"I see," Luo Tianshen said, a bit disappointed. Those who broke through the plane barriers to reach the Great Thousand World were all extraordinary talents. Once in the Great Thousand World, they would shine like tigers entering a mountain or dragons returning to the sea. Luo Tianshen had hoped to recruit such a talent, but it seemed impossible now. However, he could still build some goodwill.
Luo Tianshen said, "Have you felt the change in your energy? Since the energy in the lower planes differs from that in the Great Thousand World, you will be assimilated by the spiritual energy here. Do not resist this process. Although your power might drop during the assimilation, it will be stronger once completed. If you need help, I can assist you."
"Thank you for the advice, Clan Leader Luo," Xiao Tian cupped his hands. He appreciated Luo Tianshen's goodwill but didn't need to worry about spiritual energy assimilation. Having absorbed the more advanced chaos energy in the plane's embryo, the spiritual energy of the Great Thousand World could not assimilate his power.
