Chapter 694: Chapter 693: Arrival

After completing the set, Yi Tianyun felt his power rise dramatically. The individual pieces of the Desolate Ancient Series set were already very powerful, and when combined, they were simply heaven-defying.

"I’ve finally completed it. Next up is the Longevity Series Set," Yi Tianyun said with a nod. Although the Longevity Series was weaker in combat, its recovery effects were astonishing.

’It’s not a big deal since I can switch to it instantly during battle. For example, if I get injured, I can swap to the Longevity Set to recover. Then, as my opponent charges at me, I can immediately switch back.’

’Even if the window of time is short, the healing effect, amplified by tens or even a hundred times, makes it an essential set for wars of attrition.’

Finally, he opened the two wooden boxes containing consumables. He knew that with his Luck Aura, the items he’d get wouldn’t be too bad, but he had saved them for last.

He promptly opened one of the wooden boxes, and an item quickly appeared before his eyes—an Eightyfold Experience Card!

’Not bad. Considering the current situation, it’s worth several million, so it’s a pretty good Treasure. But it’s not much of a surprise, at least not compared to those Cultivation Techniques. The gap is still huge.’

"Not bad. I’ll use one when I encounter a Saint King." Yi Tianyun nodded. An Eightyfold Experience Card was still quite good.

He then opened the other wooden box. It was another Eightyfold Experience Card, meaning he now had two.

"Another Experience Card..."

Yi Tianyun shook his head, feeling a bit disappointed. He had thought he would get something better, but it was just another Experience Card. Experience Cards were good, but he had been hoping for something more.

’Looks like I’ll have to properly upgrade my Luck Aura next time and raise my Luck Level by another tier!’

He hadn’t upgraded his Luck Aura in a long time, having always thought it was sufficient. As long as he activated it before killing an enemy, whatever was supposed to drop would usually drop. That’s why he hadn’t bothered to upgrade it. After all, the upgrade cost was significant—tens of millions of Madness Value, not the mere hundreds of thousands it used to be.

After finishing the lottery, all that was left was to reach the Sealing Heaven Divine Kingdom.

The journey was very smooth, with no one trying to stop them. Besides, who would dare to block a phoenix? They couldn’t even keep up with its speed, so how could they possibly intercept it?

They soon reached the Sealing Heaven Continent, the exclusive domain of the Sealing Heaven Divine Kingdom. Its popularity was now only average, a far cry from its former glory.

He didn’t stop in the cities on the fringe but flew directly toward the Sealing Heaven Imperial City. ’Since my father was the number one genius of his time, I believe he should be in the Sealing Heaven Imperial City. There’s no way he’d be in one of the outer cities.’

’Even if he’s not in the Imperial City, gathering information here is undoubtedly the best choice.’

"We’re here. This is the Sealing Heaven Imperial City..."

Just as he arrived, he felt a heavy force pressing down from the sky, indicating a flight restriction. Since the Sealing Heaven Divine Kingdom was controlled by a Divine King, it was not difficult at all to set up a no-fly restriction. If one wanted to fly, they had to have a corresponding permit Token. Otherwise, they would be constrained by the power here.

SCREECH...

The Blue Phoenix let out a cry and descended from the sky. It could no longer fly and had to land. They were still fifty li from the Sealing Heaven Imperial City. It seemed the entire area within a fifty-li radius was enveloped by the no-fly grand formation.

’No wonder no one dares to force their way into the Sealing Heaven Divine Kingdom, which holds a Divine King’s inheritance. Flight is prohibited in this area alone. If a powerful expert can’t fly, their strength is basically halved.’

’After all, flying is the fastest mode of travel. Sprinting on the ground is obviously slower than flying. Especially if one side can fly while the other can’t... just thinking about it makes you realize how difficult it would be to conquer this Imperial City.’

"Looks like we’ll have to walk from here." Yi Tianyun also felt that he couldn’t fly. He was able to traverse the passage between two worlds, but that didn’t mean he was unaffected by this place.

That one was set up by the Creation Celestial Divine King, which was why he was unaffected. This one was set up by the Sealing Heaven Divine King, so his status didn’t apply here.

Even someone as strong as him, at the peak of the Saint King Stage, was still suppressed and unable to fly. One could only imagine how terrifying a Divine King’s restrictive power was. However, a Divine King’s restrictions weren’t invincible. If his cultivation advanced further, he might be able to fly freely.

"So this is the Sealing Heaven Divine Kingdom that my sister wanted to marry into..."

Shi Xueyun’s beautiful eyes shimmered. From a great distance, they could see the magnificent Imperial City. Even without getting close, they could feel a pillar of light soaring into the sky, blanketing the area. Under the radiance of this light, Shi Xueyun felt an urge to prostrate herself in worship.

’This is the Sealing Heaven Divine King’s territory, so it’s normal to feel this way. He poured all his heart and soul into this place; how could it be anything simple?’

"The Sealing Heaven Divine King’s legacy continues, but the Creation Celestial Divine King’s is gone..." Yi Tianyun shook his head. They were both Divine Kings, yet the Empire established by the Sealing Heaven Divine King still stood, while the Creation Celestial Divine King’s did not.

’Either the Netherworld’s forces were too powerful, or the Creation Celestial Divine King wasn’t like the Sealing Heaven Divine King, fortifying his domain inside and out, making it impregnable.’

’As long as the Sealing Heaven Divine Kingdom doesn’t do anything stupid, like recklessly venturing out, they are practically invincible here. It would be difficult for anyone to invade this place.’

They walked inward step by step. There was no pressure from walking. The restriction only prohibited flight; walking was not affected. This type of restriction was very common. Passages and the like had similar restrictions, including the Ascension Divine Altar.

They were not the only ones walking on the road; many other Cultivators were also heading in the same direction. But as they walked, their eyes were filled with adoration as they gazed at the Imperial City.

The name of the Sealing Heaven Divine King was incredibly famous, commanding the reverence of all. No one dared to show the slightest hint of disrespect.

In reality, Yi Tianyun knew this was due to the influence of the light above. ’If a person’s cultivation level is low, entering this area will affect their mind to some extent, causing them to feel immense reverence for this place. If they stay here for too long, I’m afraid they would be completely brainwashed and become utterly loyal to the Sealing Heaven Divine Kingdom!’

’It seems the Sealing Heaven Divine King was also a Soul Cultivator...’

Yi Tianyun nodded. For such a phenomenon to occur, it meant that the Sealing Heaven Divine King majored in soul cultivation, and was an extremely formidable one at that. Soul Cultivators were already difficult to train, yet he had managed to become a Divine King, which proved just how powerful he was.

’The strange thing is, judging from my Bloodline, the Sealing Heaven Divine King is my ancestor! From the looks of it, I haven’t discovered any special powers in myself. My Bloodline also seems pretty average; I don’t feel anything special about it.’

"Am I really a descendant of the Sealing Heaven Divine King, or has the Bloodline weakened by my generation?" Yi Tianyun gave a self-deprecating smile. ’I have to get to the bottom of this on this trip.’
