Infinite transcendence began with Covering the Sky.

Chapter 446 Before the Immortal Realm

A dilapidated ship, hundreds of feet long, sped through the chaos. As a relic left over from the chaotic ancient times, it still possessed immense power despite its broken state.

At this moment, several figures stood on it. Qi Zhe led the three ancient emperors and their children, heading towards the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

At this moment, the dragon girl in a purple dress stood not far behind Qi Zhe, her eyes sparkling with celestial light, watching all traces on the ship.

This ship was once a multi-story vessel, 100 zhang long and 20 zhang high. When it was in good condition, it had three pavilions and was a luxurious pleasure boat.

But now only one of the three-story pavilions remains. A large number of buildings were swept away by a single blow, leaving behind irreparable ruins.

On the front half of the ship's deck, there was also a huge gap, which had been pierced by a sword in the past, pinning it from the sky to the ground.

After Qi Zhe obtained it, he was unable to repair it. Fortunately, the core of the ship was not destroyed. Although it looked broken, it still had the ability to cross the Great World.

"It's dilapidated and I don't know when it was built," the Dragon Girl finally spoke after staring at it for a long time, her words filled with sighs.

The last time she traveled on this ship, she was sealed away by the Dragon Emperor. Now, seeing this scene, she naturally had countless doubts in her heart.

"Haha. Even I couldn't see through this ship at all last time."

Upon hearing the Dragon Girl speak, the handsome Wanlong Emperor smiled and explained that the last time he rode on this ship, he was just like the Dragon Girl today.

At the time, he shared the same view as the other two ancient emperors, believing that the ship could not possibly be the relic of an ordinary immortal, or left behind by a supreme being.

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Girl nodded, then turned her gaze to Qi Zhe, staring at his back. At this moment, she was somewhat moved and couldn't help but walk to his side.

"Can the Heavenly Emperor enlighten us?" the Dragon Girl whispered, her eyes shimmering with tears, appearing somewhat delicate at this moment.

Qi Zhe, who had been silent the whole way, looked a little unnatural. So many years had passed, and he thought the other party would give up, but he never expected that they would still be so persistent.

Qi Zhe then said without changing his expression, "This ship is not from the mortal realm. It is a treasure bestowed by the Celestial King upon his offspring for use in crossing realms."

"Since I obtained this ship, I have been studying the immortal path within it, but even now I find it difficult to fully comprehend. Its former owner's realm was far superior to mine."

Qi Zhe spoke calmly, saying that whatever stories this ship had in the past were no longer important today, as its owner was probably long gone.

He didn't need to investigate the reasons behind it; he only knew that the thing worked well, and everything else was irrelevant to him.

The Dragon Girl was puzzled by what she heard. She wanted to say a few more words to Qi Zhe, but since Qi Zhe had no interest in it, she could only give up.

Just as they were speaking, the chaos in the distance began to surge, and wave after wave of giant waves began to roar, as if to capsize the celestial ship.

Something's blocking the way!

At this moment, Qi Zhe frowned. He had never expected to encounter such a scene on his way back to the Nine Heavens. It was something that had never happened before.

The people on the ship were also shocked. There was an immortal and six emperors on their ship, and yet someone still dared to block their way.

"Who goes there! Get out here for me!" At this moment, the Golden Ancient Emperor roared, and a golden mace suddenly appeared in his hand, its twenty-four sections beginning to emit immortal light.

"boom!!!"

The next moment, something emerged from the distant chaos, carrying an aura of astonishment, and hurtled toward the wrecked ship. It was a cauldron.

The cauldron was cast from nine-colored immortal gold, shimmering with an astonishing light. A figure appeared from behind the cauldron, looking at the group with a look of surprise and doubt.

"Emperor?!"

In an instant, exclamations erupted from the ship. Even Qi Zhe frowned, not expecting to encounter the Emperor's cauldron, which made him suspect that the other party was nearby.

"It turns out to be you!"

The Emperor had not expected to encounter Qi Zhe and his group in the chaos beyond the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. He had assumed it was some kind of chaotic beast wreaking havoc on the chaos.

The next moment, he realized something was wrong, sensing that there were six peak-level emperors on the ship, and Qi Zhe's current aura was putting immense pressure on him. "Buzz!"

At this moment, the Imperial Cauldron reversed and roared back, seemingly trying to escape in an instant, breaking through the chaos to flee.

"Your true form is gone, yet you think you can just leave with a cauldron?"

Qi Zhe reached out his hand. He had been displeased with the Emperor for many years. Although the Emperor's true body was no longer there, a cauldron was enough for him to vent his anger.

A giant hand covered the chaos, and the universe emerged between its fingers, transforming heaven and earth into a unified whole, easily trapping the Emperor's cauldron.

With a 'poof' sound, the Nine-Colored Immortal Golden Cauldron was crushed by Qi Zhe's single hand. Seeing this, the Emperor was helpless and angrily said, "You've ruined my plans again!"

Although it was only a fleeting glimpse, he sensed that Qi Zhe's Daoist techniques were different from usual, and at this moment he could only let this consciousness be obliterated.

The emperors on the ship were also puzzled. They had not expected to encounter the Emperor, let alone that he would be so easily defeated.

"For so many years, he has been hiding outside the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths." At this moment, all three ancient emperors felt that the Emperor must have a grand scheme.

Qi Zhe nodded upon hearing this and said bluntly, "Don't worry about him. He's not going to amount to anything. Hiding like this is just a waste of his potential!"

Qi Zhe then stopped lingering, flipped his palm to melt and collect the fragments of the Emperor Cauldron again, and steered his ship towards the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Afterwards, Qi Zhe and the others arrived beyond the Nine Heavens. After exchanging a distant glance, Qi Zhe set off again, heading towards the strange world.

The two realms are adjacent, and although they are separated by boundless chaos, they can still cross the celestial ship at its speed. Qi Zhe arrived in no time.

But that's not all; he still passed by without entering. Following the calculations in the darkness, Qi Zhe headed towards the Immortal Realm.

In just a few days, Qi Zhe traversed the two realms and arrived at the depths of chaos at lightning speed, where he saw a huge world manifest in the distance.

"That was a corner that bordered the Nine Heavens after the Immortal Realm was shattered!" Qi Zhe murmured at this moment, his eyes filled with sighs.

That corner of the Immortal Realm was vast, lying motionless in the boundless chaos, enveloped by a thick boundary wall, radiating an aura of suppressing everything.

This is the Immortal Realm, a true land of immortality. Once you set foot here, it's hard to die. It's a place that countless people yearn for.

"They say they're neighbors, but they don't seem like neighbors at all." Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor shook his head; he felt that this "neighborhood" wasn't meant for them.

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhe nodded. This distance is difficult even for a true immortal to traverse; only an immortal king can travel back and forth at great speed. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as an immortal gate for guidance.

"Let's go."

After whispering to himself, Qi Zhe sailed away, and soon he arrived at that corner of the Immortal Realm, where he could now see all sorts of scenery.

"boom!!!"

At this moment, Qi Zhe made his move. He stood outside the Immortal Realm and began to knock on the gate, causing an Immortal Gate to manifest on its own, and the gate began to tremble and shake.

"Fellow Daoist, you must not act recklessly, lest you bring disaster upon all living beings." The next moment, someone in the Immortal Realm spoke up, trying to stop Qi Zhe from shaking the Immortal Realm.

"Then open the door." Qi Zhe didn't stand on ceremony and stood outside the Immortal Realm, asking them to open the door. His tone was calm but unquestionable.

However, the people in the Immortal Realm had reservations and were unwilling to open the door in this way. They then said, "It's not that we won't open it, but we cannot open the door casually while the Immortal King is not here."

"Which Celestial King?" Qi Zhe asked with some surprise, not expecting that there would be a Celestial King in this realm, only that he was no longer there.

"The Celestial King has no name, only the surname Shi. He was an old friend of the Heavenly Emperor and had been watching over the Nine Heavens since the chaos of the ancient times. After leaving for tens of thousands of years, he never returned."

In this immortal realm lives an immortal king. Although his name is unknown, he is a person of the Heavenly Court and has been watching over the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths since he became king.

Tens of thousands of years ago, he suddenly departed, saying he was going to a final battle. So many years have passed and he has not returned, leading people to suspect that he has perished.
