Infinite transcendence began with Covering the Sky.

Chapter 326 Deep Within the Immortal Abode
The Central Plains Immortal Abode is vast, often stretching for tens of thousands of miles, with endless mountains and wilderness, where ancient relics have been buried for centuries.

Currently, many cultivators are undergoing trials within it, numerous powerful sages from beyond the realm are searching for treasures here, and some have even lingered in the deepest part.

Qi Zhe did not linger. After entering the Immortal Abode, he headed deeper into it, intending to reach the place where the path to immortality had once been opened.

"laugh!"

He then transformed into a streak of light, flashing across the gray sky, startling many sages who guessed that a peerless figure had passed through the area.

As Qi Zhe charged forward, he soon arrived at an ancient battlefield and heard a deafening battle cry.

Deep within the Immortal Abode, a great battle once took place, and it was once filled with the array patterns of the Great Emperor, but now it has been shattered, and a terrifying killing intent constantly flows within it.

Thick, dark clouds filled the sky above the battlefield, as if thousands of troops were fighting there, and their spirits would not fade away even as time passed.

Beneath the dark clouds lay a thick fog, with various colors of killing light constantly swirling around, and broken imperial array patterns releasing murderous intent. Few could pass through easily.

"The Immortal Emperor!"

Then Qi Zhe heard a furious roar that echoed through the mountains and rivers, causing some cultivators in the distance to be greatly shaken.

"The people of that time were truly too powerful; their roars, though separated by countless ages, still make my blood boil!" someone whispered in the distance.

The speaker was a saint clad in armor, whose cultivation was not weak, but he was still shaken so badly that his eardrums bled, as if someone was beating a drum in front of him.

This amazed his companions, and then Qi Zhe heard a soft female voice say, "This person must be a peerless master from the past."

A roar that shook mountains and rivers could wound even a saint for eternity, leaving an indelible mark on heaven and earth. One can only imagine how powerful that person must have been.

Qi Zhe appeared silently in the distance, turned his gaze to the group of sage cultivators, and recognized their origins at a glance.

The other side consisted of cultivators from the four great dynasties of Zhongzhou, simply because the banners of the Great Xia and the Nine Li were flying there, and many of them were even wearing armor.

They were numerous, including dozens of saints and five or six saint kings. Some were surrounded by people, clearly indicating their high status.

At this moment, seemingly noticing Qi Zhe's gaze, someone in the crowd turned to look at Qi Zhe and then exclaimed in surprise, "Why is he here!"

A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. Today, Qi Zhe wields immense power in the Big Dipper, and even the immortal lineage must be wary of him.

The cultivators of the Great Xia Dynasty were only surprised and suspicious of Qi Zhe's arrival, but the cultivators of the Nine Li Imperial City were different; some of them had very unpleasant expressions.

But the next moment, Qi Zhe saw a graceful figure walk out. She was the woman who had spoken earlier, Princess Yue Ling of the Jiuli Dynasty.

In the past, in the Qinling Mountains, Qi Zhe opened his Heavenly Eye to spy on the Qin Clan. At that time, he had seen the other party's figure, and it was only at the level of Dragon Transformation.

But now the other party is a female cultivator who has just entered the Saint King realm. Not to mention in Zhongzhou, she is an amazing person even in the entire Beidou.

However, her relationship with Qi Zhe was not good. Qi Zhe had once provoked the Jiuli Dynasty outside the Immortal Mausoleum, even causing the Supreme Being to have his eye on them.

The Jiuli Dynasty never bothered him, purely because Qi Zhe's cultivation speed was so astonishing that they had no way to make a move.

Princess Yueling was an unparalleled beauty in the Central Plains, possessing a peerless and ethereal beauty. Even in full armor, she appeared otherworldly and stunningly beautiful.

At this moment, she looked at Qi Zhe standing in the distance and could only wave to comfort the group of clansmen around her. She said to Qi Zhe, "Jiu Li Yue Ling greets Brother Dao."

"The Great Xia people greet the Great Sage." The cultivators of the Great Xia Dynasty then addressed Qi Zhe, their expressions becoming serious.

Qi Zhe's expression did not change much upon hearing this. After glancing around, he nodded and said, "Greetings, everyone." Upon seeing Qi Zhe's goodwill, the expressions of the cultivators from the Jiuli Dynasty gradually relaxed, and Princess Yue Ling also smiled upon hearing this.

If you hold onto grudges, you'll never have a chance to breathe. Watching Qi Zhe grow stronger little by little, even the Nine Li Dynasty could only sigh.

Even if they wanted to settle scores with Qi Zhe now, they lacked the ability. They could only try to ease the tension and strive to weather the great calamity to come.

Princess Yueling then stepped forward, her expression cautious as she probed, "Brother Dao, you are in seclusion at the Sacred Cliff. What brings you here now?"

News of Qi Zhe's seclusion in the Sacred Cliff had already spread to Zhongzhou, and many people thought he was brave and unafraid of the strange things in the Sacred Cliff.

Now that Qi Zhe has appeared in the Immortal Abode, the cultivators of the two great dynasties are naturally eager to find out what Qi Zhe is up to and whether he will ruin their plans.

Princess Yueling was a woman, and she was good at socializing, so she was naturally the best choice to come up and negotiate. Many people were watching Qi Zhe from behind.

Qi Zhe looked at the stunningly beautiful woman walking towards him, and upon hearing her words, his expression turned serious as he said directly, "Naturally, it's for taking things a step further."

Qi Zhe's voice was not loud, but it sent a chill down the spines of the cultivators present. They found it hard to believe that Qi Zhe wanted to advance further in this place.

You must know that Qi Zhe is already a Great Sage, and if a Great Sage wants to advance further, he will inevitably become a Quasi-Emperor. How can anyone remain calm about this?

"Go further?"

Princess Yueling's beautiful face was filled with shock, and her heart was in turmoil. She turned to look at the battlefield, wondering if there was an opportunity to become emperor there.

The cultivators from the two great dynasties behind her did the same, all turning their heads to look at the battlefield, many of them with burning eyes.

They didn't think Qi Zhe would speak without reason. If Qi Zhe weren't the Great Sage of this era, they would definitely want to ask him more questions.

"what"

Seeing this, Qi Zhe smiled, his eyes showing a hint of scrutiny. He then shook his head and walked towards the battlefield, preparing to step into it.

He had already discerned the group's intentions, knowing they wanted to explore the place where the Emperor had fallen, but unfortunately, they lacked the ability to do so.

The Great Xia Dynasty has not yet fully recovered its foundation, with only a small number of sages awakening, and the Jiuli Dynasty may be in the same situation.

As the environment of heaven and earth changed, outstanding cultivators from several royal families successively reached the Sage Realm and began to explore this place.

But Qi Zhe knew that this place was not a place that ordinary sages could set foot in. Even ordinary saints and kings could not reach the deepest part, and even great saints had to wield imperial weapons to do so.

"Wait!" Princess Yueling quickly interjected as she saw Qi Zhe heading towards the battlefield, then added, "Brother Qi, are you traveling alone?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhe suddenly seemed dazed. He didn't think Princess Yue Ling was offensive, but the phrase "traveling alone" reminded him of the Emperor Taihuang.

Did the former emperor, walking alone in the celestial palace, also traverse this broken imperial formation alone, on his way to the path to immortality?

He died young and frail, and his death remains unknown to this day; it is truly a tragic end.

Although their purposes differed, Qi Zhe inexplicably didn't want to go this way. At that moment, Qi Zhe turned around and smiled, saying, "Indeed, I shouldn't be alone."

"Princess, why don't you come along? And the two fellow Daoists from Great Xia, come too. I will protect you and let you witness this tragic path to immortality."

Ugh, what a hassle!
