But Chen Changsheng was soer

He already knehat this ate was

What was even stranger was that though he had clearly never been here before—a fact that he was extre of incredible fa tiate see time

In truth, he only hesitated for the briefest ofhis steps In order to live, he had already gambled his life quite a few tiain?

His hand fell on the gate and gave it a light push This stone gate was several dozen zhang high, so it should have been absurdly thick Logically speaking, it was assuredly as heavy as a city, but when he gave it a light push, it bizarrely opened

Chen Changsheng drew back his hand and warily prepared hiate slowly opened and innuht shone froht that his face see

Surprisingly, this light was of no danger to hiy that instantly made his wounds feel ave hi hi hi hiood feeling, an incredibly strong teers could not suppress this desire Chen Changsheng walked through the stone gate

Behind the gate was a world of light Countless rays of light occupied this entire world, filling his eyes andit impossible for him to see, much less differentiate directions He could only blankly and nervously walk forward

This tiradually dispersed, becoht divided into black and white, and then , like red, which represented life and passion, and blue, which represented vastness and mystery

This blue probably sy looked at this blue and silently thought

And then he saw a fehite clouds as well as a black cloud that was slowly dissipating

Only now did he understand what sort of blue he was looking at It was the blue of the sky

Soon after, he saw the black eaves, the s of the second floor, and the wo by theand watching hinized her, but did not understand why her face was covered in concern However, he could be sure of one fact: his spiritual sense had returned to the Education Palace

He had returned to the Hall of Washi+ng Away Dust

His body was still flying through the air

His spiritual sense had been bitterly searching in his body for an incredibly long period of time, but to his body in the real world, it was only an instant

From others' perspectives, he had only closed and then opened his eyes Who could have known that in this brief span of tis and then returned? Who could have ier his past self, that he had already reached a brand neorld?

His spiritual sense had pushed upon that stone gate, but had returned to the Hall of Washi+ng Away Dust This was proof that his sate of his Ethereal Palace was already open Although his meridians were still broken and hard to traverse, his true essence would no longer fall into the botto on the snowy plain and the lake waters continued to pour into his Ethereal Palace, helping him continuously interact with the world

The torrential downpour had already ceased, transfor's body passed through the rain He had closed his eyes, and then opened theht as varnish, his expression inco his once ain control of his body He slightly bent his knees, tightened his waist, and adjusted his posture to land on the ground His soles relaxed and then tightened as he fell like a stone dropping into the water With a soft plop, he stood steady on the ground

Soon after, he ie batch of pills refined from the herbs he had found in the Hundred Herb Garden and stuffed them in his mouth He quickly sed them and then looked across at Gou Hanshi+

Gou Hanshi+ would never underestisheng's perfor was able to fight his way to the final match of the Grand Exas But it was only after the battle had started that he discovered that he still had not judged Chen Changsheng correctly

Chen Changsheng had burned up one part of the snowy plain, then ten parts, then all of it If not for the probleiven an even more powerful perforh to shake Gou Hanshi+ At the age of fifteen, cultivating only for a year and drawing in starlight for even less, he was actually able to possess such an abundant true essence In his entire life, Gou Hanshi+ had only seen his senior brother Qiushan Jun accomplish such an inconceivable feat, and he had not expected for Chen Changsheng to accomplish it as well

But just like he had said to Qi Jian and his other junior brothers in the guest courtyard, he fir could not defeat hixue, because it was i

Ethereal Opening required at least one hundred nights, each night spent drawing in starlight to cordially knock on the gate of the palace

Even Zhou Dufu had been no exception

Chen Changsheng had succeeded at Purification not even one hundred nights ago, so why even discuss Ethereal Opening?

And yet it seeht now

Gou Hanshi+ looked at Chen Changsheng and felt that being praised as being well-versed in the Daoist Canon…suddenly had no h all three thousand scriptures, one would not be able to find such a thing
