Chapter 3293: Chapter 3293: Soul City
After he finally understood the entire story, the Primeval Lord of Heaven didn't order Ziya any further.
What occurred in the Deleting Space was beyond what he'd imagined.
He needed time to absorb what he'd seen, and at the same time, had to hand over the exploration of the Abstruse Energy World to Ziya and Geoffrey. After all, energy souls couldn't give much help.
As for the Heart of Limit, Zen tried to carry it.
Since the Heart of Limit was taken to the Deleting Space from the Abstruse Energy World, he tried to use the Truth of Three-Energy Construction to carry it but failed.
No matter how hard they analyzed, neither Zen nor Ziya could seem to understand the reason it didn't work.
But because Zen was the first person to carry the Other Shore Token in the Deleting Space, the problem could be in the Truth of Three-Energy Construction, Deleting Space, or the Heart of Limit itself. Still, they couldn't pinpoint the right one.
Ziya looked very disappointed. He wanted so bad to see the Deleting Space as another Other Shore.
But Zen wasn't bothered by it.
With his current abilities, he still could not bring the three Civilization Artifacts to their limits. Even if he truly carried the Heart of Limit, there would be no guarantee that it would help him.
At this point, his top priority was to achieve a higher level on the Other Shore. Nothing else mattered except this.
A few days later, Zen left the Deleting Space.
And since Zen left, so did the energy souls. Meanwhile, the bodies Ziya had created for the Primeval Lord of Heaven and the others remained like statues in the palace.
Geoffrey, on the other hand, remained in the Deleting Space. He was not alone - he had the holy maiden of the Flower Dancing Sect as company. Zen's promise to Geoffrey was finally fulfilled now.
Even so, Zen was still uneasy with this action. He mentioned to Letitia that Geoffrey had been chosen by a human master and accepted as a disciple. This meant that he was to be secluded and isolated for a long stretch of time.
If Letitia found out that Zen lied to her, would she still treat him as intimately as usual?
Weeks went by and the Oneness Sky Palace was gradually restored to its original state.
The once damaged Dragon City had been rebuilt, while the Phoenix Palace had been moved elsewhere.
Because the Bearing race broke through the Dragon Cliff, the southeast of the Bloom Divine Province grew restless. It was for this reason that Goran replaced the dead Patton in order to guard the cliff and protect the province.
All the creatures in the Bloom Divine Province were jittery and anxious. It came to a point that a handful of powerful masters even chose to move their families all the way to the Pear Hill.
This was a smart move. No matter what had happened, the Pear Hill proved to be much stronger than the Oneness Sky Palace.
Whoever wanted to attack the Pear Hill, might it be the Bearing race or the Divine Farmer race, would have to think hard before taking a move.
The leaders of the Oneness Sky Palace did not stop anyone from moving if they wanted to.
In essence, a good bird perches only on a fine tree. In the same suit, humans of Bloom Divine Province could move if they found it more suitable. Even Pearce and Auden wanted to move all the senior leaders of the Oneness Sky Palace to the Pear Hill, just so they could avoid any more disasters. Р𝐀ɴ𝐎βĚȘ
As long as Yasamin and Eastern Emperor Taiyi woke up, they could return to the Bloom Divine Province safe and sound.
This was the most rational choice. But if all the masters of the Oneness Sky Palace fled from the Bloom Divine Province, it would only lead to the collapse of the palace. Hence, they didn't dare to make such a decision for Eastern Emperor Taiyi as he had spent a long time building the palace.
After a hasty, passionate discussion, Pearce, Auden, Athemar, and Winchell chose to stay in the Bloom Divine Province. Once they came to an agreement, Pearce replaced Eastern Emperor Taiyi and issued an imperial edict to the Bloom Divine Province.
Through the edict, the war between the humans and the Sun Crow race was made public. Also written in the edit, he informed that the Pear Hill would provide assistance if necessary, to calm down the panic in the Bloom Divine Province.
Still, Zen didn't care too much regarding these matters. Even though he had been in the Oneness Sky Palace for a long time, it was not meant for him forever.
After knowing Elvinia had burned the Truth Enlightenment when she thought she was doomed, he wrote down another one for her.
After Pearce obtained the Truth Enlightenment, he was very surprised. There was no point in hiding it anymore now. All he wanted to do was to help the palace with it.
However, if everyone in the Oneness Sky Palace knew the Truth Enlightenment, it wouldn't be long until everyone started using it for their own personal interests. Many people from the Bearing race, Divine Farmer race, and other super forces could also learn it, especially because they also cultivated the Truth of Eternal Sword Intent.
It was for this reason that Pearce made a rule. Every person who read the Truth Enlightenment could only share it with one person they trusted. Also, they needed to swear an oath so that the Truth Enlightenment could not be leaked.
Meanwhile, in Stage Seventeen of the Other Shore, the figures of Zen and Elvinia reappeared.
They had cleared their goals just after the fierce battle with the Sun Crow race had finished.
In order to enter Stage Thirty-three, they would have to enter the Soul City and go through the Land of Bone Tribulation first. With their Indigo Souls at the ultimate level, it would be no problem for them to enter Stage Twenty-nine to get to Soul City.
There happened to be temples in Stage Seventeen, but none that interested them.
Once they'd passed through the white star ring, Zen and Elvinia transformed into two rays of white light and made their way upwards.
Then, they arrived at Stage Eighteen which was a translucent ice field. Here, ancient secrets were sealed within the thick ice. Historically, many ruling civilizations had made this stage their habitat. However, they ended up disappearing into history - some were eliminated, and some were forced to hide.
The two walked a long distance along the ice field before they came into contact with the star ring leading to Stage Nineteen. Here, they stepped onto the star ring and were sent up into the air once again.
Once they arrived in Stage Nineteen, they stepped out of the star ring and a whistling wind swept through them.
In Stage Nineteen, the hurricanes never ceased. As they scanned the area, they could only see boundless yellow sand.
Fortunately, the star ring leading to Stage Twenty was not too far away. Elvinia led the way, and they found the star ring in less than five minutes.
Near the star ring, some human Souls of Light sized up them. Their origins were unknown, but they seemed to be powerful. Not long after though, the Souls of Light retreated from the Other Shore after whispering among each other.
Just as Zen and Elvinia were about to step into the star ring and enter Stage Twenty, Zen paused.
He recalled that not long after he entered the Source World, he obtained an Other Shore Key from the tomb of the Sword Light Palace's leader. That Other Shore Key could open up a temple in Stage Nineteen.
But now, such a temple was no longer attractive to Zen. He wanted to give that Other Shore Token to Chaim and his companions for exploration.
After a few moments, he continued and stepped into the star ring alongside Elvinia.
They passed Stage Twenty, Stage Twenty-one, and Stage Twenty-two...
And as they passed each stage, they saw every scene change drastically.
If it were any other person, they would have stopped in each stage just to explore.
However, Zen and Elvinia had one goal only. They moved up stages quickly, each and every time they found the star ring.
It didn't take long until they arrived in Stage Twenty-eight, the Eternal Prohibition Stage. The upper stage of it was the Constant Glory Stage, where the Soul City was located. Their journey was about to finish! However, they met some challenges in no time.
