Chapter 536: Chapter 208: Cross the Tenth Floor, Recognized by the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion!_2

"Indeed, there is a realm beyond the Immortal Monarch."

"The people of this world refer to this realm as ’Dao’."

"This isn’t something fabricated."

"In the distant past, a tower appeared between heaven and earth."

"According to legend, whoever can pass through this tower will obtain the greatest secret of this world, and then begin the path to a higher-level world."

"I’ve always been unsure if this legend is true but now, when I see the token before you, I know it is!"

"The Heavenly Dao Token?" Chen Chang’an wondered.

"Yes, right, the Heavenly Dao Token!" Shen Xuzi nodded.

"It is said to be a token that opens the path to a place called the Daoist Realm. It was issued by an enormous entity within the Daoist Realm called the Heavenly Dao Academy. Whoever possesses this token has the qualification to enter that world and can use this token to practice within that entity."

"That is cultivation that surpasses the level of Dao!"

"Surpassing the cultivation of the Dao? Old man, are you fooling me?!" Upon hearing Shen Xuzi’s words, Chen Chang’an was suddenly intrigued.

Shen Xuzi was a bit unable to understand what excited Chen Chang’an:

"Yeah, cultivation surpassing the level of Dao. So what? Is there a problem?"

It’s merely an opportunity. Whether or not this token can be used is another story.

However, Shen Xuzi was curious as to what could elicit such uncommon excitement from the normally unflappable youngster.

"It’s nothing." Chen Chang’an shook his head, but inwardly, his mind was racing.

What’s the strongest in this world? The Dao!

All creatures of Heaven and Earth operate under the rules of the Dao and cannot escape it.

Like the Heavenly Venerates of this world or even the Saints of the Tenth Realm, they can travel through the void, shuttling back and forth between different worlds in an instant.

But, no matter how extraordinary they are, they still can’t escape this Wuxiang realm!

But cultivation surpassing the Dao is different.

If one day, Chen Chang’an could cultivate himself beyond or even equal to the Dao, then he could tear apart this world, and go back!

Does Chen Chang’an want to return to Earth? He does.

It’s where he lived for half his life, and no matter how he disdains it, there are always some things that he can’t let go of.

Chen Chang’an has such things!

In his previous life, at the brink of death, if there was something he couldn’t let go of, it was that figure waiting for him under the streetlight.

Since coming to this world for so long, Chen Chang’an thought he had let go, but upon hearing this news, his heart still involuntarily stirred.

He wants to go back, even if it is just for a glance.

"Old man, do you know how to use this token?" Chen Chang’an grabbed the token. It was cold to the touch, but other than that, it seemed unremarkable.

Humming~!

At that moment, a stream of red energy surged from the token, moving up Chen Chang’an’s arm, and rushed into his body.

Humming~!

Under the influence of the red energy, Chen Chang’an’s whole body seemed to seethe.

However, it was just seething and nothing else. After carefully sensing it, Chen Chang’an found that his body was not injured.

Instead, a faint insignia appeared on his arm.

An image of a book was on the insignia. The book was white, appearing nearly transparent.

Upon seeing this, Shen Xuzi pondered for a moment before saying:

"Kid, this should be qualification verification."

"Although I don’t understand why the mark appears like this, I think it signifies that you have been approved and just need to wait for the right opportunity. Perhaps then you’ll be able to go to the so-called Daoist Realm."

"I hope so."

Chen Chang’an nodded and then waved his hand to put the token in his Inner World.

Then, he searched this space once more. Finding nothing valuable, he left.

Humming~!

Outside the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion, a void crack appeared, and Chen Chang’an’s figure emerged from it.

Chen Chang’an’s appearance didn’t alarm anyone; it was exceptionally covert.

Once he was out, seeing no one paying attention to him, Chen Chang’an found a relatively quiet place and sat down.

He was waiting for two people: Mao Ruxue and Lin Qingxuan.

Now that he’d taken the reward from the tenth floor, the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion has lost its name. The two of them should be out soon.

Humming...!

Sure enough, Chen Chang’an was right in his guess.

Soon after he came out, Mao Ruxue and Lin Qingxuan appeared.

"Senior Brother~!"

After coming out, Lin Qingxuan rushed directly towards Chen Chang’an, while Mao Ruxue left in a flash of light, still needing to conceal her identity.

"Junior Sister Lin, what’s wrong? Didn’t you want to stay inside and continue the trial?"

Seeing Lin Qingxuan, Chen Chang’an pretended to be innocent and asked.

"Senior Brother, you don’t know what happened either!?" Lin Qingxuan was taken aback. When she first came out and saw Chen Chang’an, she thought that he knew what had happened to the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion.

But to her surprise, he seemed clueless.

However, looking at Chen Chang’an’s expression, he didn’t seem to be lying. Could it be that he truly didn’t know?

Lin Qingxuan felt unsure, then she bowed to Chen Chang’an and said:

"Senior Brother, you might not be aware. Just now, for some unknown reason, the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion was suddenly filled with thunder and lightning, followed by intense vibrations."

"After the vibrations, all the Dao Rules inside disappeared, and all the checkpoints lost their effects."

"The Heavenly Emperor Pavilion, have disassembled!"

???

The Dao Rules vanished, the checkpoints lost their effects, and the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion dissembled?

What on earth was going on!

Upon hearing Lin Qingxuan’s words, Chen Chang’an himself got dumbfounded.

He clearly remembered that he hadn’t done anything other than taking a token.

How could such a big event have occurred?

Humming...!

With this question in mind, Chen Chang’an’s divine sense swept towards the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion.

Sure enough, what Lin Qingxuan described appeared right before his eyes.

In the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion at this moment, the delineations between each layer were no longer visible. From the first to the tenth level, every realm had been annihilated.

Everything was filled with darkness and ruin, just like it had endured a fearsome war!

"This...?"

Chen Chang’an was puzzled. He could not figure out which part had gone wrong to lead to the current situation of the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion.

Could it be because of this...?

Suddenly, Chen Chang’an thought of the token he had taken away.

Humming...!

With a thought, Chen Chang’an’s divine sense rushed into his Inner World and started to examine the token.

"Huh?! Oh my god!"

It didn’t matter if he didn’t inspect it, but once he did, Chen Chang’an immediately made a startling discovery.

This token seemed to be a space container, holding an area as vast as a galaxy within it.

In the center of this galaxy stood a towering pavilion - the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion!

Not only that, at this moment, Chen Chang’an could clearly feel that he seemed to have control over the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion!

Everything within the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion, no matter what, he could retrieve with just a thought!

In other words, he controlled the treasury of the entire Heavenly Emperor Pavilion now!

"This?!"

In an instant, Chen Chang’an was startled. This was truly a great surprise. He probably wouldn’t have to worry about money in the future!

"What’s wrong, Senior Brother? Is there something on your mind?"

At this time, Lin Qingxuan noticed that Chen Chang’an’s expression was a bit odd and couldn’t help but curiously asked.

"It’s nothing."

Chen Chang’an shook his head, not planning to tell Lin Qingxuan about the token.

"Junior Sister, since things here have concluded, let’s return. The elders must be waiting for us."

"Oh, okay, Senior Brother."

Hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, Lin Qingxuan nodded and then followed Chen Chang’an on their journey back.
