Chapter 1903

Before Zi Chen could respond again, Elder Rain pulled Zi Chen away impatiently.

"What about my friends?"

Zi Chen broke free from Elder Rain's grasp and asked. What just happened made him cautious.

"I'll take you to see Lady Qing Nu first. I'll arrange for them myself later."

Elder Rain didn't stop as she spoke. It was obvious that she was in a hurry. Zi Chen had no choice but to follow along. He wasn't any slower than Elder Rain as they headed towards the depths of the sect.

They met other cultivators of the Everlasting Sect along the way. Most of them stuck their heads out and were surprised to see Elder Rain.

While they were surprised, they were also sizing up Zi Chen and trying to figure out where this stranger came from.

The two of them headed towards the deepest part of the Everlasting Sect and stopped in front of a large hall made of green stones. The words Green Maiden Hall were engraved on top of the hall.

"Lady Qing Nu is inside."

Standing in front of the hall and feeling the ancient aura of the hall, Zi Chen suddenly felt a little nervous. Qing Nu was a truly powerful existence. She was the confidante of the founder of the Everlasting Sect, Wuji.

There was only one Green Maiden Hall here. There were no other buildings or guards around. Elder Rain looked at Zi Chen and said, "Go in. Qing Nu is waiting for you."

Zi Chen nodded his head and placed both his hands on the bronze door. With a light push, the door slowly opened.

An ancient aura that had been there for a long time rushed out. It was as if this hall hadn't been opened for many years.

After the door opened, Zi Chen didn't go in. He was a little hesitant.

"Come in." An elegant voice sounded from inside the hall.

Zi Chen didn't hesitate anymore. He took a deep breath and stepped into the hall.

The door behind him slowly closed.

"Sigh."

Elder Yu let out a long sigh as she stared at the door that was about to close. An extremely complicated expression appeared on her still charming face. With a flash of her body, she disappeared from this place. Clearly, she had gone to make arrangements for Tyrant and the rest.

Zi Chen entered the hall and found it empty. Only the sound of his footsteps could be heard. He scanned the place with his spiritual sense and found no signs of life. This made Zi Chen frown slightly and his mind tense up.

"Don't be nervous. Whether it's for Xue 'er's sake or because you've inherited Wuji's inheritance, I won't harm you."

The elegant voice from before sounded again, and a figure emitting green light appeared in front of Zi Chen.

This was a body formed purely from energy. Although the green light flickered and her true appearance could not be seen, one could still see her graceful figure. Coupled with her identity, one could imagine that she was an unparalleled beauty.

"Zi Chen greets Senior Qingnu."

Although Zi Chen was surprised to see Qing Nu in her energy form, he still bowed respectfully.

If Limitless was his master, then the person in front of him was his master's wife.

The green light flickered, and Qing Nu waved her hand and said, "No need to be so polite. You should have seen that I'm just an energy form, not the real Qing Nu."

Zi Chen raised his head and looked at Qing Nu again, his expression full of confusion.

Qing Nu was also sizing up Zi Chen. After a while, she said, "I'm an energy clone left behind when my original body entered the Star Path. It was to protect the Wuji Sect."

"The Star Path."

"The Star Path is also called the Xing Chen Ancient Road. Only those in the Heaven Realm are qualified to enter it. Just like the invasion of the alien race, the experts who enter the Star Path will go to places where the alien race lives. They will fight on the Star Path, weakening the alien race's power as they advance. It's another battlefield, contributing to the Zhan Wu Continent and the Tianwu Continent."

This was the first time Zi Chen heard about it, and he was very shocked.

"The Heaven Realm is the final realm for all cultivators. Aside from a few special lifeforms, ordinary cultivators need a huge opportunity to reach the Saint realm. That kind of opportunity doesn't exist in these two worlds. Only by entering the Star Path can one reach it."

Qing Nu raised her head, and her deep gaze seemed to pierce through the palace and into the stars. "Back then, my original body left with them just like this."

"They … Limitless?" Zi Chen's heart shook.

"Yes." Qing Nu nodded.

"If that's the case, then they didn't die like the rumors said. Instead, they stepped onto the Ancient Road of the Stars." Zi Chen was a little excited. He felt that at this moment, he had seen the secrets of the world.

Qing Nu shook her head and smiled bitterly. "Although I've never been to the Star Path, I can guess that it's very dangerous. Entering the Star Path is almost equivalent to death. Under normal circumstances, as long as my original body exists, my avatar in the Qing Nu Palace will never dissipate. But in recent years, my avatar has been dissipating. If you had come a little later, you might not have been able to see me."

Zi Chen's expression suddenly changed as he cried out involuntarily, "Could it be that something has happened to Lady Qing Nu?"

Qing Nu shook her head again. "I'm not sure. But the situation is not good. I don't know if she's dead or alive."

"Then what can I do?"

As soon as he said that, Zi Chen regretted it. With his strength, what could he do?

Qing Nu looked at Zi Chen as a smile appeared on her face. "You're too weak. You can't do anything for the time being. This time, I called you here to give you Extreme Yin and also to tell you two things."

"Senior, please tell me."

"First, as a Heaven Defier, your enemies aren't necessarily the foreign races. In this Zhanwu Continent, there are some forces that are related to the foreign races. These forces are currently in the dark, and it's impossible to identify them. You have to be careful."

Zi Chen nodded, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart.

He thought that his identity as a Heaven Defier was a secret. Who would have thought that Qing Nu, who he had never seen before, would be able to say it out loud?

"The identity of a Heaven Defier is special. I only guessed it through Xue 'er. Because you haven't appeared for many years, most people won't associate you with a Heaven Defier. The Cauldron of All Creation is indeed a cover for you, but this cover won't last long. Even if they don't realize it, someone will tell them."

"Someone will tell them? Who else knows about my identity?" Zi Chen was puzzled.

"Someone from beyond the heavens. The first to sense the existence of a Heaven-Defying Cultivator is someone from beyond the heavens. It can be said that they were the first to know about your identity as a Heaven-Defying Cultivator."

Seeing Zi Chen's worried expression, Qing Nu said, "You don't need to be too worried. Even if they know about your identity, they won't be able to spread it for now. You're still safe. What you need to do is break through as quickly as possible while you're safe. At the very least, you have to reach the Heaven realm to protect yourself. The transportation formation to the Martial Heaven Continent is in the Boundless Sect. You can bring others there."

Zi Chen nodded. This was his main goal in coming here.

"The second thing is that my spirit body is about to dissipate, and I will no longer be able to protect the Boundless Sect. I hope that you will lead the Boundless Sect into the path of stars when the calamity is about to strike," Qing Nu said with a solemn expression. She was clearly entrusting this task to him.

"The star path? Didn't you just say that only the Heaven realm can enter the star path?"

"That's right. But the Wuji Sect is different. They are in this chaotic space so that they can escape in times of danger. The entire space is a great formation. By controlling the formation, they can escape from this world. It's not just the Wuji Sect. In the First Continent, all the hidden families have similar methods."

Zi Chen nodded. "Alright, I agree."

"In a bit, I'll give you the method to control the formation, as well as Zenith Yin. I'll also remind you that your Universe Origin Cauldron is broken. The only person in this world who knows this secret is me. Back then, the Boundless Sect used this cauldron to fight the people from the Outer Heavens. The Universe Origin Cauldron shattered, and the Boundless Sect took a portion of it with her before leaving. The rest is in your hands.

"The Universe Origin Cauldron's true core is no longer here. The Universe Origin Cauldron in your hands can only be refined to the Heaven realm. You have to be prepared for that."

Zi Chen nodded solemnly. He had learned many secrets from Qing Nu.

"Now, let me take a look at your yin and yang energy."

Zi Chen did as he was told and released the power of gold and silver lightning. Gold and silver were of the yin and yang attributes, while lightning was the essence of energy. At this moment, the two energies formed a perfect cycle, mutually reinforcing each other.

In a flash of green light, Qing Nu arrived beside Zi Chen and carefully sensed the two energies around Zi Chen's body.

Her eyes gradually brightened, and her face became more spirited. After a while, she nodded slowly and said in a voice that was close to praising, "It really is the fusion of yin and yang. Boundless, your deduction back then has finally been realized."

Qing Nu looked at Zi Chen again and said, "The fusion of Yin and Yang, complementing each other, can increase one's battle prowess by several times. And the fusion of Yin and Yang is only the first step. According to Wuji's final analysis, the fusion of Yin and Yang is the final step."

"On this path, I can't give you much help. Even Boundless can't. You'll have to explore everything on your own. Now, I'll teach you Zenith Yin."

A ball of light floated out of Qing Nu's body and flew towards Zi Chen.

"This is the Zenith Yin that Boundless left behind. I heard from Xue Er about your comprehension speed. Before my energy dissipates, you should comprehend Zenith Yin first."

Zi Chen sat down cross-legged as the ball of light entered Zi Chen's mind.

It was as if the scene from all those years ago had reappeared. A tall figure was deducing the Great Path technique in Zi Chen's sea of consciousness.

As the hand seals changed continuously, the Grand Dao turned from simple to Zenith Yin.

After an unknown amount of time, Zi Chen opened his eyes. Qing Nu was standing in front of him, but the green light around her was very dim.

"Lord Qing Nu." Zi Chen was shocked and immediately stood up.

"My energy is about to run out. You can leave now."

Qing Nu's figure disappeared, leaving Zi Chen with a ball of green light.

Zi Chen took the ball of light and walked out of the palace.

After walking out of the palace, Zi Chen saw many people standing outside. He didn't know if they had heard about Qing Nu's disappearance and came here spontaneously.
