Chapter 247: Starry Sky Ancient Road

Meanwhile, outside, Qin Zijun, upon seeing Wu Zhene emerge, stepped forward with a face full of anticipation. Just as he was about to ask, Wu Zhene said with a solemn expression,

"Holy Lord, let's go somewhere else to talk; it's not convenient here."

After Wu Zhene finished speaking, Qin Zijun immediately understood and took Wu Zhene straight back to Holy Lord Peak.

After returning to Holy Lord Peak and having Qin Zijun set up several Restrictions, Qin Zijun finally continued to ask,

"Alright, can you tell me now what you encountered inside?"

"Hmm."

Wu Zhene nodded, then proceeded to recount everything he had encountered inside regarding the Founding Ancestor, leaving nothing out. After all, in his view, Qin Zijun had absolutely no reason to harm him. Plus, with his Great-Grandfather as his backing, unless Qin Zijun had a death wish, he would absolutely never dare to harbor any ill intentions toward him.

After listening to Wu Zhene's words, the expression on Qin Zijun's face could no longer be described as shock; it could only be called terror.

He had not expected that the Five Elements Bell would actually recognize the Saint as its Master, nor had he expected that the Founding Ancestor had originally gone to Mount Buzhou with the other Four Great Holy Lords and left the Upper Realm.

"Did the Founding Ancestor say why the Upper Realm was Sealed?"

Qin Zijun thought of something and asked with a solemn expression.

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhene nodded.

"The Founding Ancestor said it was because of the Blood Soul Gate."

"Blood Soul Gate, is it? I knew the Blood Soul Gate was definitely not simple. After all, how could an ordinary force go from being unknown to making the entire Upper Realm tremble in less than ten thousand years? So it came from outside the Upper Realm."

Qin Zijun's expression appeared extremely solemn, but deep down, he also felt great curiosity about the Starry Sky Ancient Road that the Founding Ancestor had mentioned.

After all, he had broken through to Immortal Emperor at only 2.5 million years old, and broken through to Immortal Emperor Late Stage at 10 million years old. Now, he had been stuck at the Immortal Emperor Late Stage for a full 50 million years.

If not for the Restrictions, he would probably have already become a god.

"In short, the Founding Ancestor told me that unless absolutely necessary, I should not use the Starry Sky Ancient Road to leave the Upper Realm, because the Starry Sky Ancient Road is extremely dangerous. It contains spatial turbulence, Starry Sky Giant Beasts, and so on; even an Immortal Emperor Late Stage might not be able to withstand it."

Hearing Wu Zhene's words, Qin Zijun couldn't help but sigh and dismissed the thought.

The urgent priority was still to first eradicate the local Blood Soul Gate of the Upper Realm. Otherwise, once the Blood Emperor and the others recovered, even if all of them combined, they would likely be no match for the Blood Emperor.

"By the way, now that you have completely taken control of the Five Elements Bell, I wonder if you can destroy the Blood Emperor?"

When saying this, a hint of anticipation couldn't help but appear in Qin Zijun's eyes as he looked at Wu Zhene.

But upon hearing this, Wu Zhene shook his head.

"Master, Que Xuan is currently in a deep slumber, so I cannot unleash the full power of the Five Elements Bell."

"Que Xuan?"

"That's right, Que Xuan is the artifact spirit of the Five Elements Bell."

Since Wu Zhene had said so, Qin Zijun naturally couldn't force it, and sighed before saying,

"Since that is the case, then you should work hard and become stronger as soon as possible. I have a premonition that a great war is imminent, and when that time comes, no one will be able to stay out of it."

However, as his words fell, Qin Zijun couldn't help but think of Wu Hao from earlier, and wondered whether Wu Hao would choose to participate in the war.

"Achoo! Who is talking about me?"

Inside Penglai Immortal Island, Wu Hao couldn't help but sneeze, feeling a bit confused.

But he immediately put it out of his mind and began to study the Five Elements Bell in front of him.

The moment Wu Zhene obtained the Five Elements Bell, Wu Hao received a feedback of one million Five Elements Bells.

And the moment he obtained the Five Elements Bells, Wu Hao did not hesitate to choose to synthesize 900,000 of them, keeping the remaining 100,000 for emergencies.

[Ninth Grade Five Elements Bell: Can gather the power of five Great Dao Power and channel it into the user's body, shaping five Physiques.]

"Five Physiques, huh?"

Wu Hao's expression was slightly calm; as one's Realm gets higher, one knows more things, and Wu Hao was naturally no exception.

In Wu Hao's understanding, every kind of Dao basically has a corresponding specific Physique, such as the Time Saint Physique, the Space Saint Physique, and so on.

The point where the Ninth Grade Five Elements Bell is stronger than the Eighth Grade Five Elements Bell lies in its ability to merge into the user's body and shape five powerful Physiques.

Power mastered by oneself is naturally more reliable than power that can only be unleashed with the help of external objects. Moreover, a God Emperor who breaks through with the help of the Ninth Grade Five Elements Bell is more than five times stronger than a God Emperor under normal circumstances.

However, for Wu Hao, there was naturally no need for this. After all, the Cultivation Technique he practices accommodates all the Myriad Paths in the world, and as his cultivation becomes stronger, his Physique will also become the legendary Physique, the Myriad Paths Physique.

"There are undercurrents moving on the side of the Blood Soul Gate, and the entire Upper Realm is undergoing subtle changes. I fear the great war will happen very soon. By that time, Holy Son Yifan will probably have become very powerful."

"It's just that, with their current abilities, it seems they cannot break the Restriction left behind by the Blood God. I fear they will only be able to leave the Upper Realm by utilizing the Starry Sky Ancient Road."

Wu Hao thought to himself, his gaze following toward the direction of Mount Buzhou.

His information was obtained much earlier than that of Wu Yidao and the others, so he naturally knew that a Starry Sky Ancient Road existed within Mount Buzhou.

However, Wu Hao did not intend to leave the Upper Realm via the Starry Sky Ancient Road. With his current trump cards, he only needed to summon a Ninth Grade Chaos Bell to directly break the Restriction left by the Blood God.

Although the Blood God is a presence at the God Emperor level, the artifact spirit of the Ninth Grade Chaos Bell can also unleash power at the God Emperor level; breaking the Restriction left by the Blood God is naturally not a problem.

However, if he were to break the Restriction left by the Blood God now, it would likely attract the Blood God's attention, which might lead to unnecessary trouble.

Although Wu Hao is not afraid of trouble, he does not want to deal with unnecessary trouble, so it is better to let things take their course.

On the other side, Wu Li had also left the Seven Mysteries Sect with Zhang Tie for some time. His cultivation had broken through to the Golden Immortal Initial Stage during this period of consolidation. After all, not having the same Opportunity and Awakening of past life memories as Wu Xianni and Wu Mowu, being able to break through to the Golden Immortal Initial Stage in such a short time could already be considered quite good.

"Phew, ahead is the Azure Lightning Secret Realm. I wonder what kind of Opportunity I can obtain inside."

Wu Li thought to himself. After leaving the Seven Mysteries Sect, Wu Li had been traveling on the road, often entering various Secret Realms in search of Opportunity.

Ever since his Master Mo Juren laid hands on him, Wu Li had developed suspicion and guardedness toward everyone, so he naturally would not think about joining any other forces.

And the Azure Lightning Secret Realm before him was a Fifth Grade Immortal Realm he had learned about on the road. It was said that a large amount of gold lightning wood existed within it, and Wu Li now needed a large amount of gold lightning wood to refine his Golden Thunder Flying Sword, which was why he had come to the Azure Lightning Secret Realm.
