769 Going to the Path of Heaven! (1/2)

The Path of Heaven.

It was only a legend in the Realm of Kunxu. The ancient Sages destroyed all the traces of the path, so their descendants had almost forgotten about it and could only find a bit of information in the old books. That day, Chen Fan stood in front of Heavenly Capital and said it was the Path of Heaven. How could everyone not be shocked?

”This… this is the Path of Heaven?”

Qi Qingwei widened her eyes and looked at the towering wall.

Heavenly Capital had a long history and had been in Kunxu for thousands of years. Only the inner city used to exist, but due to population growth, it was expanded, eventually becoming a city that covered dozens of acres.

”If the ancient cultivators had not set up a strong array here, you would have been killed by the impact of the battle between Yunxiao and I,” Chen Fan said as he touched the wall to feel the power inside.

The battle between Chen Fan and Perfected Cultivator Yunxiao was earth-shattering. A Golden Core Cultivator was as powerful as a nuclear weapon. Mountains collapsed, rivers were destroyed, everything within a hundred miles was shattered and millions of people died. Only a hundred thousand people in the inner city survived under the protection of the array.

”Indeed, an array that can withstand the power of a Sky Immortal is rare.”

Everyone glanced at the city in shock.

Meanwhile, the entire inner city had been emptied. Chen Fan walked toward the center and scanned through every corner with his Immortal Will at the same time, as if he were a bird flying in the sky, overlooking everywhere.

He found that the inner city had the shape of a pentagon. There was a tower at each of the five tips and the streets were straight like the lines of an array. Chen Fan finally arrived at the center of the city.

There was an ancient altar surrounded by stone pillars; it had a strong sense of history.

”The cultivators of the ancient times built this city as an Universe Teleport Array that is capable of both attacking and defending. There were powerful beings back then after all.”

Whoever formed such an array had to be a cultivator of at least the Nascent Soul Level. It was too difficult for a Golden Core Cultivator to create this.

”Master, are you going to the Path of Heaven?”

Qi Xiu'er suddenly looked at Chen Fan anxiously.

”Yes,” Chen Fan replied.

He took out piles of Spirit Stones from the Blade Strengthening Gourd.

Chen Fan collected the Spirit Stones the Seven Exalted Sects had been hoarding for thousands of years; he currently had millions of them.

”You should leave. I'm going to initiate the array and see where this Path of Heaven leads to. Don't worry, I'll be back soon,” Chen Fan answered as he cast some Dharma Spells and initiated the array.

”I'm just going to check it out, I'm not really leaving the planet yet. The Path of Heaven is dangerous. You should go with them first,” Chen Fan said.

”No, I told you I'd be with you. I won't leave no matter what,” the girl said with determination.

Chen Fan frowned.

He thought it shouldn't be too dangerous as it was only a teleport array, so he nodded and allowed her to stay.

He cast spells to initiate this old array as he put in large piles of Spirit Stones, so that the pure Spirit Qi could be used as a source of energy for the array.

”Buzz, buzz.”

As he cast the spells…

The streets, walls and the altar were lit up. There was even a beam of light shooting from each of the five towers into the sky. The five light rays were respectively blue, yellow, red, white and black in color; the entire Realm of Kunxu could see them clearly.

In the end.

Boom.

The entire city was covered in colored light. As it shook, an invisible energy wave was formed and the two of them suddenly disappeared from the altar.

They were successfully teleported.

”He came from the mortal world and has a mysterious history, but he knows countless secret arts, Divine Powers and even the way to open a teleport array. Who are you, Chen Beixuan?”

Someone enveloped in an aura at Yuntian Palace watched from afar.

This was the first time Lu Yanxue used a Universe Teleport Array.

Chen Fan had gone through it many times in his previous life. Once they entered the passage, Chen Fan took out the Five Thunder Seal and it sent down beams of light, wrapping the two of them inside.

Lu Yanxue looked through the light, and saw the colorful passage and the stars outside. She exclaimed, ”It's gorgeous!”

”Every star represents a planet. We're now far away from Earth, going deep into the universe. If we're not careful enough, we could be trapped here. If that were to happen I might still be able to live off my Divine Body and Dharma Treasures for a couple of years, but you would die from starvation after a short period of time,” Chen Fan said calmly.

Lu Yanxue immediately glared at Chen Fan.

After a while, everything in front of Lu Yanxue became bright and they went out of the passage. She widened her eyes and looked around. They were still on an altar, but the buildings around them were old like those found in the Qin Dynasty.

Still, these buildings looked even older. Many stone pillars and walls were quite weathered.

”What is this place?”

Lu Yanxue was startled.

She looked up and saw an enormous planet in front of her.

”This is an abandoned city on an anonymous planet. In the ancient times, this used to be a teleport array as well. There should be a strong array somewhere to protect ordinary people back then, but now, everyone's gone,” Chen Fan replied.

His Immortal Will could at the moment cover three hundred miles of area. He could scan through half of the planet at once, meaning that it was much smaller than Earth. There were a few more buildings within the area scanned by his Immortal Will. Some of them looked similar to the city which were probably other teleport arrays.

Chen Fan guessed this was a hub to travel the universe in the ancient times.

”Huh?”

Lu Yanxue stuck out her tongue and wondered if they were outside the solar system.

Lu Yanxue was confused and was about to ask Chen Fan. Then, she saw a skull next to the altar and she shuddered.

It was the skull of a beast and was about eight meters large. It had a triangular shape like that of an insect. Even after countless years, it was still clear and bright.

”Chen Fan, look! What's that?” Lu Yanxue yelled.

Chen Fan had already walked over seriously.

He stared at the crystal clear skull of the beast and frowned as if he had discovered something.

”What is it?” Lu Yanxue asked gently.

Chen Fan didn't answer.

They walked down the altar and saw that there were many other bones around.

There was a ten-meter leg bone of a beast and some were sharp like knives. There were also human bones but they were gold in color. Besides, there were many broken halberds, daggers and swords.

In the ancient times, those weapons were apparently superior-grade Spirit Artifacts or even Spirit Treasures. Their power was long gone; they had turned into a pile of scrap metal.

The entire city was covered in body parts. Most of them belonged to humans and some to beasts.

”Xiao Fan, where are we?” Lu Yanxue asked with fright in her eyes.

”If I'm correct, these beasts are the so-called alien enemies. The ancient cultivators thought they could escape from the alien enemies by leaving Kunxu, but both parties met in the universe, which is why this place turned into a battlefield,” Chen Fan said.

”These are the alien enemies? How big are they? What do they look like?”

Lu Yanxue gasped.

The skull was eight meters large and the skeleton was a dozen meters long. So, their entire body should be around forty meters. She had found dozens of those beasts around the city.

”You'll find out soon.”

Chen Fan looked up to the sky.

When he arrived on this planet, he had felt a weak energy in the buildings. As he sent out his Immortal Will, the energy in one of the buildings seemed to soar as if something had awoken.

Apparently, not all the attackers in the battle had died. Some of them were just sleeping.
