Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

After flying thousands of miles in one breath, Wang Chen switched from the Glowing Light Flying Sword to a Magical Treasure Flying Warship as his means of transportation.

Although Sword Flight was elegant, it was far less comfortable than being on a Flying Warship.

And it saved energy.

In fact, as long as one was willing to spend Spirit Stones, a Magical Treasure-grade Flying Warship could move even faster than an ordinary Flying Sword, soundlessly cutting through the clouds high in the sky, and in a blink, it would be tens of miles away.

The journey home of several hundreds of thousands of miles was nothing special.

However, Wang Chen did not relax because of this, but instead tensed up and heightened his vigilance!

This time, as a representative of his sect going to observe the ceremony at Spirit Mountain, Wang Chen had, one could say, severely slapped the face of the Buddhist Sect in the Western Region.

Earlier, he had "forced" the death of the governing abbot from Mysterious Origin Temple, and later, in front of countless monks and devotees, he slew the warrior monk who challenged him with a single strike, making a splash while also seriously offending the Buddhist Sect.

Most importantly, the fact that Wang Chen had cultivated the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Method to the sixth level was now completely exposed.

The Heavenly Dragon Temple could not possibly remain indifferent to this.

Although Wang Chen did not yet know what kind of reaction they would have, he was very clear that his journey home would not be peaceful!

Now that Wang Chen was far away from the Western Celestial Buddha Domain and had entered the great desert controlled by the Sand Tribe, this place was the only choice for the Buddhist Sect if they wished to trouble him.

He fully activated the Array within the Flying Warship, pushing the speed of this large Magical Treasure to its limit.

It was indeed as fast as lightning!

Even though this would lead to a much faster consumption of Spirit Stones, what was that in comparison to his own life and wealth?

After flying like this for half a day, he encountered no trouble at all.

Wang Chen's vigilance was still present, but not as intense and tight as before.

Could it be that those monks really gave up?

Wang Chen did not think it was very likely, but he did feel somewhat relieved.

The farther away from the territory of the Western Region Buddhist Sect, the closer to the West Sea Sect, and once he entered the West Sea Spirit Domain, then he would be completely safe.

While controlling the Flying Warship, Wang Chen couldn't help but recall the words spoken to him by Wu Xiang.

This venerable high monk, also a visitor from another world, did not provide him with a path to ascend to the heavens, but he did tell him about the situation in the Upper Realm.

The Upper Realm of the Mountain and Sea Realm is known as the Haotian Realm, one of the nine realms of the Immortal Domain.

The real world of immortals!

According to Wu Xiang, the Haotian Realm was boundlessly vast beyond imagination, with countless intelligent beings living within, with humans being just one of them.

Because the Haotian Realm was so rich in Spiritual Energy, babies born there were Shedding Mortality level unless congenitally disabled; practicing Qi Cultivation at the age of three or five was common, and there were countless who achieved Breakthrough Mansion upon reaching adulthood.

It was a world where everyone was as powerful as a dragon!

And the Haotian Realm could accommodate an exceedingly high level of power, with the existence of Divine Transformation True Monarchs, Integration True Venerables, Mahayana Saints, and Tribulation-Transcending Tao Ancestors above the Nascent Soul.

In the Haotian Realm, a Purple Mansion Cultivator was merely a shrimp!

Not only that, but the Haotian Realm ruled over a multitude of Lower Realms, with the Mountain and Sea Realm being hardly noteworthy among them.

And each year, new Lower Realms were discovered and conquered.

Also, because the Haotian Realm was so vast, its tolerance was exceedingly high, not rejecting any outsiders.

The only requirement to enter the Haotian Realm was to pass the test of the Void!

Wu Xiang's description of the Haotian Realm was just to give an outline and did not go into detail with Wang Chen.

It's possible that his own understanding was limited, or perhaps he didn't want to add pressure to Wang Chen, but this venerable high monk undoubtedly allowed Wang Chen a glimpse into the true appearance of a higher-level world.

"Restrained."

Just as Wang Chen was immersed in his recollections, the Magical Treasure Flying Warship he was piloting suddenly stopped moving forward as if trapped in a deep quagmire, bound tightly by pressure from all sides.

He couldn't move anymore!

At the same time, a calm voice reached Wang Chen's ears.

Wang Chen suddenly snapped back to his senses and immediately realized he had fallen into an enemy's ambush.

Moreover, the attacker was a Golden Core cultivator!

However, Wang Chen wasn't the slightest bit panicked; instead, he felt a sense of relief as if what was meant to come had finally arrived.

Without a second thought, he reached out and grabbed a talisman, clutching it tightly and crushing it.

Wang Chen had been sent to participate in the ceremony at Spirit Mountain by Long River True Person, and it wasn't meant for him to go to his death.

The high-tier Golden Core cultivator from the West Sea Sect had given Wang Chen three treasure talismans before parting.

The one he had just activated was one of them!

A burst of clear and bright spiritual light suddenly exploded and instantly wrapped the entire magical treasure flying warship within it.

The warship shone with thousands of pale golden beams, suddenly erupting with an immensely powerful force that broke free from the binding energy of the surrounding space all at once.

In an instant, it flew forward for hundreds of miles!

"Eh?"

The Golden Core cultivator who attacked the warship was clearly surprised; he hadn't expected that the duck that was almost in his mouth could still fly away!

Although Wang Chen was piloting a magical treasure warship, he was merely a mid-tier Purple Mansion cultivator and didn't have the ability to unleash the full might of the warship, naturally no match for the higher realm Golden Core great cultivator.

This Golden Core cultivator, not caring about bullying someone weaker, certainly couldn't just watch Wang Chen escape and immediately let out a cold snort, summoning a long whip magical treasure.

The treasure whip spanned across the sky, stretching hundreds of miles in the blink of an eye and catching up with the escaping magical treasure flying warship in just a few breaths.

It tightly entwined the warship!

No matter how hard Wang Chen inside the warship struggled, the flying warship was pulled back.

Seeing the situation turn dire, Wang Chen swiftly activated the second and third talismans given to him by Long River True Person.

With just a moment's difference between them, the two treasure talismans were cast consecutively, draining all the mana that had been accumulated in his Qi Sea!

For Wang Chen at his current cultivation level, the price of activating a third-tier treasure talisman was not small.

Even his Qi-Blood suffered a certain amount of damage.

But the effect was extremely significant.

Streaks of fierce Qi Energy burst forth from within the warship, slicing the whip that was entangling the vessel into deep gashes, which instantly snapped under the strain.

"How dare you!"

The Golden Core cultivator, recovering only half of his whip, flew into a rage, also feeling a deep pang of heartache.

This magical treasure had been crafted with great effort and the heavenly materials and earthly treasures it consumed could be enough to buy a mid-sized Immortal City, not to mention the costs of long-term refinement.

He hadn't expected that today, just to capture a junior from the Purple Mansion, he would end up with his magical treasure damaged!

With heartache came an upsurge in his killing intent.

He teleported near the warship and reached out towards it with his palm: "Die now!"
Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire

The Golden Core cultivator's palm swelled hundreds of times in the blink of an eye, his thick fingers like columns, and emitted a hair-raising friction sound as they came together.

The huge shadow completely enveloped the magical treasure flying warship!

Wang Chen inside felt his breath catch. The spiritual energy he had just drawn from the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net had no time to transform into his own mana before sensing that he was about to plunge into an abyss.

He felt powerless to an extreme degree!
