I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

The Divine Bridge was a principle, and not a particularly strong one at that; it merely possessed the ability to connect the Spiritual Realm to the Divine Realm. With Li Xuan's current strength and his understanding of the Heaven and Earth Laws, linking up with the Divine Bridge was as easy as flipping his hand.

As the Divine Bridge manifested, everyone was excited and thrilled.

At the same time, they felt fortunate that the Spiritual Realm was blessed with the presence of such mighty figures; otherwise, it would have certainly faced a great disaster.

The Spiritual Realm would probably have perished!

The Divine Bridge had been restored, but on the Divine Realm's side, no strong practitioners appeared.

Logically, since the Divine Bridge had collapsed and now been restored, strong practitioners from the Divine Realm should have come to investigate.

But none did!

The hearts of the strong practitioners within the Spiritual Realm sank!

Such a situation implied that the state of affairs in the Divine Realm's Qinghua state was not good.

"Let's go!"

Li Xuan said indifferently.

The Flying Boat turned into a stream of light and landed upon the Divine Bridge, following it toward the Divine Realm.

Wu Tianan took a deep breath and stepped onto the Divine Bridge with a mix of excitement and nervousness in his heart.

Could the person he was looking for really be in the Divine Realm?

And if so, were they still alive?

All of this was unknown.

But no matter what, he would keep searching.

"Follow up!"

Emperor Da Zhou and other supreme experts of the Spiritual Realm looked at the prodigies and said solemnly.

A group of people stepped onto the Divine Bridge, and shortly after they had set out, the end of the bridge on the side of Hongzhou began to grow dim, fading from sight.

Every time one ascended the Divine Bridge, there was a time limit. Once someone stepped onto the bridge and the time elapsed, the bridge would vanish between Heaven and Earth.

All who wished to go to the Divine Realm needed to step onto the Divine Bridge within a certain time—once the time passed, they would wait in vain!

The Divine Bridge spanned the Azure Sea, reaching the far shore, which also meant that the bridge was very long.

The Flying Boat moved slowly on the Divine Bridge, while Xu Yan and several others curiously observed the bridge, even pondering the Divine Bridge Rule, trying to see how the bridge actually existed.

Because the journey wasn't fast, this stretch felt somewhat lengthy.

Finally, they saw the other end of the bridge beyond the Azure Sea, landing in front of a narrow valley, seemingly a rift between Heaven and Earth.

Through a barely discernible glimpse, it seemed they could see the vast expanse of land beyond the valley.

…

Divine Realm, Qinghua state.

The Qinghua state, connected to the Spiritual Realm, was a gateway opened by the Divine Bridge and one of the Thirty-six Realms of the Divine Realm.

It was that time again when the Divine Bridge was to open.

However, during this period, the Qinghua state was anything but peaceful, amidst the great chaos of the Heavenly Grotto.

The Qinghua state was governed by three major forces: the Tianwu Sect, the Myriad Thunder Sect, and the Da Yue Dynasty.

Apart from these three forces, other powers were dependent on them and had to follow their commands.

Besides the three major forces, there was a power within the Qinghua state called Blood Shadow Tower. It was formed by martial artists who had pledged allegiance to the Netherworld Cave and had always been a thorn in the side for Qinghua state.

Even after countless sieges, Blood Shadow Tower remained unbeatable, causing trouble periodically and even cooperating with the Netherworld Cave to invade Qinghua state.

The unrest in Qinghua state began several years ago and initially involved the three major forces simply due to the regular chaos caused by the Netherworld Cave.

As the time for the Divine Bridge to open approached, and counting the cycle, it was again time for prodigies from the Spiritual Realm to be sent into the Divine Realm.

True enough, underneath the Tianwu Sect, the Thousand Martial Hall opened the virtual bridge, and a Condensation Law Heavenly Venerable descended into the Spiritual Realm, ready to escort the prodigies back.

Due to the threat of the Netherworld Cave, the three major forces were allies to some extent, as branches of the same tree.

Throughout the entire Divine Realm, the situation was much the same, as the biggest threat to the Divine Realm were the Heavenly Grottos.

Every power bore the responsibility of suppressing the Heavenly Grotto in their area.

The enemies from the Heavenly Grottos facing Qinghua state came from the Netherworld, with hundreds of large and small caves. Among them, only three Netherworld Caves were genuinely powerful.

Conveniently, each of the three major forces was responsible for guarding one of these Netherworld Caves.

The struggle against the Netherworld Caves had been ongoing for countless years, with numerous Netherworld Blood Disciples slain, and just as many warriors from Qinghua state fallen.

```

But from the clashes within the Netherworld Cave, many formidable figures had risen, and while the Heavenly Grotto was a threat, it was also a treasure trove of extraordinary peril.

By slaying invaders like the Netherworld Blood Disciples and Blood Slaves, one could obtain treasures from beyond the Divine Realm, even from beyond this world.

It was precisely because of this that the martial artists of Qinghua state, despite knowing full well the dangers of the Netherworld Cave, did not lack for those willing to battle therein.

In addition to the rewards offered by the three great powers, one could also acquire some treasures from within the cave.

Thousand Martial Hall opened the Divine Bridge, and Condensation Law Heavenly Venerable of Tianwu Sect, representing the three great powers, descended to the Spiritual Realm, bringing back the Spirit Body Prodigies they had nurtured.

Following past precedents, these Spirit Body Prodigies, upon entering the Divine Realm, would break through to the Condensation Law Realm within three years.

Once having broken through to the Condensation Law Realm, they could preside over an area in the Heavenly Grotto, considering themselves a minor power.

Yet, this time it seemed that an unexpected event had occurred.

After the Condensation Law Heavenly Venerable of Tianwu Sect descended to the Spiritual Realm, till the vanishing of the Divine Bridge, he had never returned, indicating that something had changed in the Spiritual Realm.

Tianwu Sect had prepared to dispatch powerful fighters to descend once again to the Spiritual Realm, but had to call off the mission when their defended Netherworld Cave suffered a large-scale invasion.

The turmoil in the Heavenly Grotto grew increasingly rampant, and what was even more astonishing to the three great powers was the appearance of an Immortal Realm martial artist from Blood Shadow Tower!

Immortal Heavenly Venerable, how many are there in the entire Qinghua state?

The Immortal Heavenly Venerable from Blood Shadow Tower suddenly launched a sneak attack on Emperor Da Yue's Immortal presiding over the Heavenly Grotto, joining forces with a Netherworld Blood Child from within the cave, and injured the Immortal Heavenly Venerable from Da Yue Dynasty.

It was at this time that the massive invasion from the Heavenly Grotto began, the endless Blood Shadows ravaged Da Yue Dynasty, and the great chaos thus unfurled.

Tianwu Sect and Myriad Thunder Sect, while needing to send support to Da Yue Dynasty, also faced the threat from the Heavenly Grotto they guarded themselves, rendering them at their wits' end.

At this critical juncture, the Divine Bridge was opened.

Compelled by necessity, a True King who had fought his way back from the Heavenly Grotto of Myriad Thunder Sect embarked towards the Spiritual Realm.

Unbeknownst to all, at the time the Divine Bridge opened, the Heavenly Grottos in the whole of Qinghua state erupted into chaos, Blood Shadow Tower wreaked havoc everywhere, and one after another, the grottos fell into enemy hands.

Blood Slaves massacred their way into Qinghua state, and even Blood Disciples stepped into it, plunging Qinghua state into an extremely grave crisis.

The strong of Qinghua state emerged, suppressing the Netherworld Caves, slaughtering rebels everywhere, blocking the Blood Disciples and Blood Slaves.

Then came an even more shocking development: the Divine Bridge collapsed!

The Spiritual Realm was invaded by the Heavenly Grotto!

That True King was even slain!

Several True King Heavenly Venerables of Myriad Thunder Sect prepared to venture to the Spiritual Realm for rescue, but they were intercepted en route, caught in incessant battle, forever unable to arrive at the Spiritual Realm.

At this moment, the entire Qinghua state was in utter disarray, the Netherworld Blood Disciples ran amok, and city after city was sacrificed in blood.

In desperation, some martial artists of Qinghua state defected to the Netherworld Blood Disciples, partaking in the blood rituals.

Suddenly, the three great powers were overwhelmed, unable to free themselves to rescue the Spiritual Realm; and with the Divine Bridge shattered, only the Immortal Heavenly Venerables were capable of descending to the Spiritual Realm without it.

However, at that moment, every single Immortal could not afford to leave their post, needing to deter the Netherworld Blood Children to prevent them from invading Qinghua state.

"We must call for help!"

The three great powers were embroiled in harsh battles, and the whole of Qinghua state seemed to have turned into a purgatorial battlefield, with some of the more remote and weaker cities, by this point, having been reduced to ghost towns.

Only a faint blood mist lingered within the cities.

"Open the Realm Gate, seek external assistance!"

Emperor Da Yue, holding his long spear, stood at the edge of the Heavenly Grotto, confronting a blood-colored figure within.

Da Yue Country had fallen!

Neither Tianwu Sect nor Myriad Thunder Sect could afford to come to the rescue at this moment, and without external aid, the casualties Da Yue Country would suffer were unimaginable.

"Yes!"

A burly man clad in silver armor, wielding a long saber, responded solemnly.

Open the Realm Gate!

For expedient passage between the thirty-six realms of the Divine Realm, one had to rely on the Realm Gates, which would allow immediate travel from the central region of one realm to the central region of another.

The existence of the Realm Gates was not man-made, but formed from the accumulation of the Heaven and Earth Laws, a phenomenon that appeared after the great changes of the heavens and earth and the division of the Divine Realm into thirty-six realms.

The thirty-six realms are interconnected, but the Realm Gates are located in the central region of the thirty-six realms, also within the control of the strongest forces in each realm.

Once opened, one could directly travel from the central region of one realm to the central region of another, skipping the time-consuming journey.

They also serve as vital channels for seeking aid between the thirty-six realms.

At this moment, with Qinghua state plunged into chaos and Da Yue Country facing crisis, there was no choice but to seek help from outside, although the neighboring realms might also be in turmoil, they would surely provide assistance if they had the spare capacity.
