Fuzzy consciousness gradually cleared, Chu Tian looked at the body around...
"Where is this?"
Seeing himself in an unfamiliar environment, Chu Tian instantly woke up completely.
"Hmm? This isn't my physical body, this is..."
Chu Tian found his body to be illusory.
Looking around again, it was somewhat familiar.
"Is this inside my divine altar?"
"Holy crap, it's gotten so big?"
Chu Tian looked around, the mist that had originally enveloped the God Killing Altar had almost completely dispersed.
It gave a feeling of being endless.
The Lake of Divine Origin, at this point, should be a sea.
He couldn't even see the edge of the sea.
Chu Tian was shocked.
This... the change was too great.
Did this mean his divine soul had become countless times larger than before?
"Where is the divine gate?"
Chu Tian floated in the air, looking down.
Originally, in the center of the divine lake, the divine altar was piled with many of his belongings, and the divine gate stood in the center.
There was also the canopy of the Tree of Life.
Now, they had all disappeared.
Without the divine gate, how could he return to his physical body?
"Don't tell me it's submerged, in the sea!"
A phantom body was like a god within this divine altar.
With a thought, his entire body disappeared from the sea level.
Entering the underwater world.
He kept descending, and indeed! Great Wind Novel Network.
His divine altar was still the same size.
The divine gate, the Tree of Life, and other things were all there.
However, they were all buried deep in the seabed.
"Damn it... get up for me!"
As this thought arose.
The divine altar on the seabed trembled.
It suddenly rose towards the sea surface.
Finally, it floated on the sea.
A small island... looking very insignificant.
"Phew... thank goodness!"
He recalled the system notification he heard before he fainted.
He knew that it was highly likely that he had returned to the Yin Yang Realm.
This time's temporal reconstruction.
The benefit he gained was that his divine soul had become extremely powerful.
"Still 9 times left!"
Chu Tian touched his chin, did that mean the remaining 8 levels of the Ascension Ladder could be experienced again?
Based on past experience.
Each level of the steps tested different things.
If he endured them all.
His entire body would be strengthened.
Cultivation, physique, and so on...
He wasn't quite sure what the specific trials were.
But Chu Tian finally... found a way to strengthen himself.
It turned out that this Seven-Colored Supreme Bone was a key.
And the Holy Spirit Realm was a treasure vault.
If he had stepped into the ninth level of the Ascension Ladder earlier.
He would have likely been blown to smithereens.
Which would have led to that disaster? Giving him another opportunity.
Using the Seven-Colored Supreme Bone's time manipulation to return to the past and re-experience the strengthening power of the Ascension Ladder.
But with 9 times... after he finished all the ascension ladders, he would still have one chance left.
It should be reserved for him to enter the ninth level of the Holy Spirit Realm.
What exactly was in the ninth level of the Holy Spirit Realm?
This Ascension Ladder was already incredibly powerful, so the ninth level would naturally not be ordinary.
It might even hold the ultimate answer Chu Tian was looking for.
The prompt stated that the energy was full, should he go now or return to the Holy Spirit Realm first to check on his physical body.
Logically speaking!
His energy shouldn't have been full after using it once.
Thinking of this, he directly stepped through the divine gate.
With a flash of light, his vision became dim.
This was because he hadn't opened his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a carriage, experiencing jolts.
"Where are we going?"
Chu Tian noticed someone beside him, sleeping against the edge of the carriage.
This person was none other than Ling'er of the Soul Spirit Sect.
"Ah... you're awake!" As Chu Tian spoke, Ling'er's eyes immediately opened.
"Mmm... how long have I slept?"
Chu Tian sat up and looked out of the carriage. He saw that the things pulling the carriage were not horses!
They were clearly strange beasts.
"Seven days!" Ling'er stated the time, and Chu Tian was stunned.
Didn't they say that the time ratio in the Holy Spirit Realm was 100,000 times faster than in the Blue Star?
He had only been back in the Sea of Death for three days, how could seven days have passed here?
The Sea of Death's time multiplier was 1000 times faster than the Blue Star.
Relatively speaking, this time ratio seemed off.
"Where are we going?" He asked again, this being the first question upon waking.
"To the City of Chaos, we'll take a boat across the Sea of Netherworld!"
Ling'er did not hide anything, directly stating their destination.
"Cross the Sea of Netherworld? To the Central Continent?"
Chu Tian guessed where Ling'er was taking him, it seemed she wanted to bring him back to the Soul Spirit Sect!
Ling'er was about to nod when suddenly there was a loud bang from outside.
The strange beast pulling the carriage stopped abruptly.
Letting out roars.
"Again... this guy is so annoying!" Ling'er stood up, annoyed.
Chu Tian's divine sense swept out, and he knew who Ling'er was referring to as the annoying guy.
"Hand over my big brother quickly, otherwise I really won't be polite this time!"
A childish voice came from outside.
Not far in front of the strange beast, the ground bulged.
A mechanical object poked its head out.
It was the tunneling machine Chu Tian had ridden before, the Tunneling Shuttle.
Ling'er, with a huff, lifted the carriage curtain, stood on the carriage, and replied,
"Who won't be polite? You say he's your big brother, what proof do you have? He's an elder of our Soul Spirit Sect, how can he be the big brother of a commoner like you? Who are you fooling?"
The kid outside was Lin Qingyuan.
Listening to their conversation.
Chu Tian knew that this kid Lin Qingyuan wasn't the first time he had chased after them and blocked their way.
Each time, Ling'er had repelled him and left him behind.
This guy, relying on the Tunneling Shuttle, could always catch up.
They had formed a tug-of-war.
Ling'er didn't want to hurt him.
"Nonsense, how could my big brother be an elder of your Soul Spirit Sect? My big brother is a man destined for great things. How could a mere Soul Spirit Sect... keep him?
You little vixen, you're just spouting nonsense!
I'm telling you, my big brother is from the Yang Realm. We brothers are about to do great things. You'd better hand over my big brother quickly, or this young master will dig up all your Soul Spirit Sect's ancestral graves and drag your patriarchs out to bask in the sun!"
This kid Lin Qingyuan was truly good at threatening people.
He always threatened to dig up ancestral graves. Perhaps he learned this from his own grandfather?
Chu Tian felt speechless.
He slowly stood up and appeared beside Ling'er.
When Ling'er heard Lin Qingyuan threatening to dig up their Soul Spirit Sect's ancestral graves, she was about to angrily point at him and say something.
However, Chu Tian spoke first.
"I say, Little Yuanzi... don't go around threatening to dig up people's ancestral graves. That's really not decent!"
As he said this, Ling'er was stunned.
And Lin Qingyuan, seeing Chu Tian appear, immediately beamed with joy.
He jumped down from the Tunneling Shuttle.
"Big brother, this demonic woman next to you abducted you when you fainted... quickly check yourself to see if anything is missing!
Mainly check if you've lost your virginity... I heard she's the top courtesan of the Drunken Flower Pavilion, she must be practicing some blackmailing techniques, like absorbing yin to nourish yang..."
This guy nonchalantly walked up to the strange beast pulling the carriage,
Angering the beast into roaring.
But without Ling'er's command, although enraged, it did not attack Lin Qingyuan.
