Chapter 1135: Probing

After seeing the higher realm, Fang Xingjian was struck with realization. This world was not just a space that had been translocated from the planet where the Central Continent was.
“We’ve already brought you to the higher realm. Can you let us go now?”
Fang Xingjian did not reply, but he waved his hand. The three of them returned to their human form once again. Simultaneously, he also applied restrictions on them.
Zhao Hao’s countenance changed when he sensed that it was hard for him to mobilize the power of his martial will in his body. He asked outright, “What, are you going to go back on your words?”
“I want to look for Venerable Master Zhai Xing, but I can’t go and look for him directly. I still need you guys to help me,” Fang Xingjian said.
Venerable Master Zhai Xing was a tier nine Divine level expert after all. If he was fully bent on escaping or even heading to other parallel worlds, even Fang Xingjian was not 100% confident that he would be able to capture him.
It was also impossible for Fang Xingjian to leave behind a hidden threat—a tier nine Divine level expert—in his backyard before their plan of going against the demonic gods took place.
Therefore, he hoped to be able to get close to Venerable Master Zhai Xing secretly. It would be best if he could launch a sneak attack up close, taking away a large part of Venerable Master Zhai Xing’s powers at one go.
For this, he would require the trio’s help.
“As long as you can help me to get close to Venerable Master Zhai Xing, I’ll return your freedom,” Fang Xingjian said.
However, Huang Shan appeared enraged. “Are you toying with us? Earlier on, you said that you would let us go after finding the higher realm, but now you want us to help you get close to Venerable Master Zhai Xing? What kind of joke is this?”
Fang Xingjian’s cold gaze brushed past Huang Shan’s body, causing the latter to shiver uncontrollably. It was as if his entire body was releasing a strange chill.
“I’m not begging you. I’m threatening you.”
Hearing this, Huang Shan was slightly stunned. Streams of fury flashed past in his eyes, but he stopped retorting.
Tang Xian—who was next to Huang Shan—patted him on the shoulder, looked at Fang Xingjian, and said, “Alright, we know your requirement. But if you wish for us to help you, you can’t possibly be binding our hands and feet, right?”
Fang Xingjian nodded and snapped his fingers. The trio immediately felt their restraints disappear without a trace. However, at the next instant, an invisible power invaded their consciousness.
The reason why this power was said to be invisible was that despite the three of them being at tier eight of the Divine level, they were still unable to comprehend how this power was transmitted, what its attribute was, and how strong it was.
It was also because Fang Xingjian wanted them to sense it that they could feel a gush of power had been channeled into their consciousness.
Zhao Hao’s countenance changed slightly, and he asked, “What is this?”
Fang Xingjian replied, “If you guys can work well for me, this will be a gift. If you don’t, it will take your life.”
Although the three of them were enraged, they did not dare to say much since they were overwhelmed by his power.
“Alright, we’ll first probe for information and then think of what way would be more convenient.” With a move, Fang Xingjian’s body underwent a series of changes, and his appearance became different. He changed from his original appearance to that of a middle-aged man. His aura also changed to simulate how a tier seven Divine level expert influenced the wave in space-time.
Fang Xingjian’s voice continued to ring out in the trio’s mind, “Let’s go. We’ll head to the nearest sect first. Tang Xian and Huang Shan, you guys can see if you can get into contact with the people from the Repose Palace.”
Each of the higher realm’s immortal sects basically formed a city. Of course, not everyone in the city were members of the particular sect. There were also many ordinary mortals who were responsible for menial tasks.
After all, cultivators at the lower level still needed to eat, drink, and poop, so they naturally needed people to serve them. Therefore, the various great sects in the higher realm also kept many ordinary mortals as their slaves.
Fang Xingjian searched through the trio’s memories and knew that Tang Xian and Huang Shan came from the Repose Palace and were the direct disciples there.
After all, at tier six of the Divine level, they could also be considered to be experts in the higher realm.
In comparison, Zhao Hao’s identity in the higher realm was a lot more ordinary. He was just an ordinary disciple in the Myriad Swords Villa.
Therefore, if Fang Xingjian wished to come into contact with Venerable Master Zhai Xing, he intended on taking the path through the Repose Palace.
A short moment later, the four of them turned into a stream of light and landed in a city nearby. Two streams of light immediately headed toward them. They were two young ladies dressed in white palace clothes.
Tang Xian took a step forward and said, “I’m Tang Xian from the Repose Palace. I have been out training in seclusion prior to this. May I ask what is this place?”
The higher realm was pieced together from all the lands on the planet with the exception of the Central Continent. It was extremely vast and rich in resources, and the ether particle density was very high. After many years of development, the population surged tremendously, and countless martial art experts kept popping up.
There was almost no one who knew what the population size was for the higher realm or how many experts there were. Neither did they know how many experts and old monsters from the past were still alive nor if they were training in seclusion somewhere.
Therefore, the two ladies easily believed Tang Xian’s words.
Hearing that he was from the Repose Palace, the two ladies exchanged a glance, and one of them said, “Senior Tang, we offer our condolences.”
Tang Xian’s countenance changed, and he immediately asked, “Could it be that something has happened to the Repose Palace?”
The two ladies exchanged a glance, and there was pity in their expressions.
“Three days ago, Old Ancestor Zhai Xing gave an order to unify all sects. 31 immortal sects, the Repose Palace included, didn’t comply and were all suppressed.
“The Repose Palace’s sect master, together with the direct disciples—a total of 24 people—had their conjured physiques crushed. Thereafter, the entire Repose Palace submitted to Old Ancestor Zhai Xing.”
“What?!” Both Tang Xian and Huang Shan were taken by surprise when they heard this piece of news. Their expressions were that of fury, shock, and bewilderment. They could not believe that a large part of their sect had been wiped out just like that.
Then, after a series of communication, the group understood what had happened.
Over ten days ago, the Flying Celestial Sect released news that their sect master—the Venerable Master Zhai Xing—together with the Heavenly Emperor and Immortal Yuqing had headed beyond the heavens to work on their martial arts. During this process, the Heavenly Emperor and Immortal Yuqing submitted to Venerable Master Zhai Xing.
After this piece of news was released, the world was taken by storm. The Ascendant Heavenly Sect and the Longevity Palace did not give any comment to this even after a very long time had passed, and this further intensified the dissemination of the news.
Three days later, the Venerable Master Zhai Xing split into two and paid a visit to the Ascendant Heavenly Sect and the Longevity Palace at the same time.
After one day and one night, the Ascendant Heavenly Sect and Longevity Palace concurrently announced that they would submit to the Flying Celestial Sect, becoming their subsidiaries. The entire world was taken by storm, and it was as if a great earthquake had occurred throughout the higher realm.
Thereafter, the Venerable Master Zhai Xing announced that he was going to unify all the sects in the higher realm and condense all the powers in the world to create the legendary Gate of Destinies. He was going to lead all the people in the higher realm to attain a breakthrough to tier nine of the Divine level, break away from the world’s shackles, and arrive at the opposite shores.
Many sects did not comply and were unwilling to be joined with the Flying Celestial Sect. They were all defeated by Venerable Master Zhai Xing.
