Chapter 1447: Returning to Azure Flower in a Dream
In the Scorching Underworld, after the war between the two five-star factions, the environment had become even more dangerous and vile.
One day:
Swish!
An elder with a dignified and solemn face suddenly appeared above the Scorching Underworld, his five-colored hair drifting in the wind. The moment the elder appeared, the poisonous mist down below seemed to surge as if bowing to the elder.
"There's not a single person." The old man's Divine Sense encompassed the entire Scorching Underworld, but he sensed nothing.
Bzzzz!
An immensely powerful Divine Sense erupted from the elder's body and engulfed everything around him. As the old man's Divine Sense encompassed the world, the world began to react in kind.
"My Divine Sense has covered more than half of the Chixing Zone, but there is still no sign... of the Ninth God Eye!" The old man sighed. His body gradually turned transparent and then completely vanished into the world.
Ten-some days later, a pitch-black figure suddenly arrived. His eyes exuded Death energy that suppressed even the poisonous mist of the Scorching Underworld.
"Did I come too late?" God Lord Heavenly Solitude's gaze darkened. He had set off the moment he heard that Zhao Feng was here, but in the end, he had come too late.
"Hmph! I'd like to see where you can hide!" God Lord Heavenly Solitude coldly snorted as he withdrew and continued his search for Zhao Feng's trail.
Meanwhile, as God Lord Heavenly Solitude was leaving the Scorching Underworld, all of the Chixing Zone had learned of the war between the two five-star factions. Ancient Soul Hall had suffered a major defeat, and of its four God Lords, only the Ancient Soul Hall Master had escaped, his body covered in wounds. As for the rest of the Ancient Soul Hall members, they had scattered to the four winds.
Giant God Hall had gone on to smoothly occupy the former territory of Ancient Soul Hall. The Giant God Race had finally reemerged to take control of its former faction. The majority of factions put up no resistance whatsoever and yielded.
News on the Ninth God Eye had also begun to circulate, but ordinary people regarded this news as complete nonsense. The Ninth God Eye was a myth. Who would believe such a thing unless they saw it with their own eyes or had some firm evidence?
But there were still quite a few great powers who came to the Chixing Zone to find the Ninth God Eye that had so briefly appeared.
The sleeping Zhao Feng was dreaming. In his dream, he returned to the Continent Zone. Gradually, he came to the Nanlin Sea, the Floating Dream Sacred Land, and finally, the Sky Qin Zone.
"Was that person really Liu Qinxin?" Zhao Feng reached the Sky Qin Zone.
This place seemed like a dreamscape, and the nearby Sky Sacred Qin Palace was also magnificent to behold.
Bzzz!
Suddenly, Zhao Feng quivered, and all the chaotic distortion before his eyes disappeared.
"I'm awake...• How long was I asleep?" Zhao Feng opened his eyes.
If he remembered correctly, the awakening of his God Eye had caused him to fall asleep, and now, he was awake.
His first reaction was to observe his surroundings.
"Eh? Something's not right!" Zhao Feng's expression froze.
The world was covered in a drab fog, the Yuan Qi was extremely thin, and space itself was incredibly fragile.
"Where is this?" Zhao Feng used his left eye to observe his surroundings.
In the distance was an island that was thriving with life. At a glance, it appeared like an ancient qin, and he could faintly make out beautiful mountains and rivers. This island gave Zhao Feng an extremely peaceful and intimate feeling.
"This is... the Sky Qin Zone!?" Zhao Feng's soul trembled and his face paled.
He should have fallen asleep in an ocean of the Chixing Zone, but upon awakening, he was in the Sky Qin Zone of the Continent Zone's Nanlin Sea!
"Dreaming... I must be dreaming!" Zhao Feng closed his eyes and rubbed them hard.
After the God Eye's awakening, Zhao Feng truly felt rather muddleheaded. He had seen some absurd scenes that truly made it seem like he was dreaming. And now, he had ended up near the Sky Qin Zone. This had to be a dream!
Once more, Zhao Feng opened his eyes.
But nothing had changed. He was still in the Sky Qin Zone!
"This... what's going on here?" Zhao Feng felt like his mind was short-circuiting.
How had he ended up in the Continent Zone after waking up? Had someone sent him here while he was sleeping?
Although he didn't understand and found this all absurd, Zhao Feng did not continue to ponder this question. If he really had come back, that was fine too. After all, he had always been planning on coming back for a visit. And if all this was a dream, that was fine too. He would just treat it as real and immerse himself in the experience.
Inspecting his interspatial dimension, he discovered that the Black Destruction Dragon and his clones were all present, but the little thieving cat had gone missing!
"The Sky Qin Zone... the Sky Sacred Qin Palace!" Zhao Feng's left eye focused on a certain otherworldly garden within the Sky Qin Zone.
Pavilions towered up from this place, built in an ancient and simple style, and one could hear the faint sound of qins coming from within.
Swish!
Zhao Feng's body flashed, and then he appeared right outside the Sky Sacred Qin Palace. He then secretly entered the forbidden ground of the Sky Sacred Qin Palace.
This was a fog-shrouded abyss devoid of any objects. It felt rather lonely here.
"Not here?" Zhao Feng's eyes flashed as he muttered.
Logically speaking, the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace should have still been inside the Sky Sacred Qin Palace's forbidden ground, and Liu Qinxin was inside this palace. But now, there was nothing.
"Could all this not be a dream? Then where did Liu Qinxin and the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace go?" Zhao Feng raised his head, confusion in his mind.
An image appeared in his mind - that of the woman in white he had seen in the Scorching Underworld.
"Perhaps everything is real, and I really have returned to the Continent Zone!" Zhao Feng's eyes glowed.
He was now sure that the woman he saw in the Scorching Underworld was Liu Qinxin. This would also explain the absence of the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace and Liu Qinxin from the Sky Sacred Qin Palace's forbidden ground.
"Let's go back to the Azure Flower Continent first!" Zhao Feng murmured as he prepared to leave.
The questions in his mind had been answered.
But at this moment:
"Who goes there? Daring to intrude upon the forbidden ground of the Sky Sacred Qin Palace!?" A furious voice came from behind him.
"Long time no see, Li Xueyi!" Zhao Feng said before turning around.
A woman was standing in the nearby fog, wearing a snow-white dress and black hair spilling to the ground. She gave off an elegant and transcendent air, like a classical fairy immortal from a painting.
This woman was none other than one of the Head Disciples of the Sky Sacred Qin Palace and the one Zhao Feng had first encountered when coming to the Sky Qin Zone, Li Xueyi.
"It's... you?" Li Xueyi's angry face immediately went slack with shock, her jade hands covering her mouth.
Yes, the person who had appeared before her was none other than that figure that would constantly appear in her mind.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several more figures arrived at this time.
"Who is it?"
"Daring to intrude upon the Sky Sacred Qin Palace's forbidden ground^"
The Great Origin Core and King upper echelon members of the Sky Sacred Qin Palace bellowed at Zhao Feng.
But at this moment, their palace master Li Xueyi suddenly flew forward, staring at Zhao Feng with her clear eyes.
"Is it really you? You've come here again?" Li Xueyi pushed her elegant and noble face up against Zhao Feng, her eyes rippling with emotion.
"Palace... Master!"
"What's happening here?"
The upper echelon members of the Sky Sacred Qin Palace were all flabbergasted. This was the first time they had seen their palace master getting so close to a strange man and appear so absentminded.
Li Xueyi was the number one beauty of the Sky Sacred Qin Palace and also the Palace Master of Sky Sacred Qin Palace. She was an Emperor and a goddess that countless men dreamed about. There were often handsome experts who traveled over vast distances to profess their love for Li Xueyi.
"Who dares to intrude on this forbidden ground!?" a violet-haired man, his eyes gleaming with envy, instantly cried out. To see his goddess look at a strange man with such an expression certainly did not fill his heart with joy.
Boom!
The powerful energy of a King surged out of his body, sweeping away the surrounding mist.
"Shut your mouth!" Li Xueyi instantly barked. The world buzzed and shook as that King's energy was dispersed.
Thump thump!
A trickle of blood came from out of the corner of that violet-haired man's lips. He fell back, his face shocked and his mouth unmoving.
At this moment, a noble and graceful old woman slowly walked out.
"Grand Elder!" the surrounding upper echelon members called out.
"It's him... Zhao Feng!" The noble woman originally had an emotionless expression, but when she saw Zhao Feng, her body trembled as she blurted out in surprise.
"Old Palace Master." Zhao Feng looked at the previous Palace Master of Sky Sacred Qin Palace and nodded. This palace master had fought together with him against the Emperor of Death.
"Zhao Feng?" The others couldn't help but mutter this name. Some of them found it rather familiar.
After all, Zhao Feng had been to the Sky Sacred Qin Palace several times, and quite a few people had met with him several times.
But ever since Zhao Feng had entered the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, his demeanor and appearance had changed somewhat.
In a peaceful and exquisite room:
"The Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace? Fifty-some years ago, it just inexplicably disappeared!" Li Xueyi said after a period of recollection.
At the time, Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace had suddenly floated into the air and then began to slowly vanish. This had alarmed all the people of the Sky Sacred Qin Palace.
"I will take my leave now." After learning of what happened, Zhao Feng prepared to leave.
Swish!
Zhao Feng's body vanished from the room.
Li Xueyi was left dumbfounded. Not even a Void God Realm Emperor like her could see how Zhao Feng vanished. "He's gone!" Li Xueyi lowered her head, anguish on her face.
"Haaa, Xueyi, you and him don't belong to the same world." The old palace master sorrowfully sighed before turning and leaving.
Thwish!
A figure blinked through a vast sea of fog.
Zhao Feng had sealed his cultivation in the Continent Zone to prevent any leakage of his energy from bringing disaster to this dimension.
After leaving the Sky Sacred Qin Palace, Zhao Feng intentionally chose a path where he could see old acquaintances like Emperor Zi Mu and the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord. Zhao Feng spent the remaining time researching his left eye.
Ever since his left eye had evolved, it gave Zhao Feng an extremely strange feeling. He even speculated that his sudden coming to the Continent Zone was related to the left eye.
"The Ninth God Eye, huh?" Zhao Feng sensed his changed God's Spiritual Eye.
He had seen the Spacetime God's projection, so he was sure that his God's Spiritual Eye had reached the God Eye level.
Within the God Eye Dimension, the dreamy silver ball had become sparkling and transparent, a dazzling crystal sphere. And within this crystal sphere was a dream. It was as if this crystal sphere contained all the colors in the world.
On the crystal sphere, the dreamy eye let off a dazzling light.
Several days later, near the Azure Islands Zone, Azure Flower Continent:
Swish!
A figure suddenly appeared in the Azure Flower Continent.
