After Fu Jiangchen left, Zhang Xuan did not rush to make a decision, but remained lost in thought.
There were now two paths before him: first, to go to Spirit Origin Heaven to find Luo Ruoxi and tell her that he had arrived in the God Realm and reached the upper-grade Heavenly God realm. Although he didn't know how far he was from an Immortal Emperor, with persistence and the Library, his cheat artifact, he would surely get closer and closer, making them not an ill-matched pair.
The second path was to stay here, continue selling Barrier-Breaking Pills, Beauty Pills, and similar items to expand his influence, letting more people know about them, absorb more power of will, and strive to break through to God King, Conferred God King, and even challenge for the position of Immortal Emperor, just like Master Kong!
Only by being on equal footing with her, possessing the same strength, would there be no obstacles, no one would dare say anything, and they could truly be together openly and honorably.
Otherwise, even if he found her with his current cultivation, he wouldn't dare to reveal their relationship publicly.
However...
The news of the Barrier-Breaking Pills and Beauty Pills had already spread, and it would be difficult to further expand their influence in a short time.
Although the power of will had been continuously increasing since the announcement of the three types of pills, its growth rate was gradually diminishing. Moreover, reaching the upper-grade Heavenly God realm required an immense amount of soul power. Even if the current growth rate didn't decline, it would still take at least one or two months to bring his soul to its peak, enabling him to challenge for the God King realm.
Not to mention, even if he succeeded, without comprehending a God King's cultivation technique, there was no possibility of breaking through in a short time.
If reaching God King was already so difficult... wouldn't becoming an Immortal Emperor require waiting several more years?
Too slow!
Zhang Xuan was filled with melancholy.
It would have been fine if he didn't know her exact location, but now that he did, how could he possibly restrain himself?
With a raised eyebrow, he made up his mind: he would go to Spirit Origin Heaven. He needed to see her first.
Although he didn't know why the Undying Emperor had fallen, as the Emperor's successor, Luo Ruoxi might not be entirely safe, even if she held the esteemed position of an Immortal Emperor. He had to find her so they could face any difficulties together.
Having made his decision, he let out a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to leave, Qi Ling'er walked in.
"Young Master Zhang, all one hundred Barrier-Breaking Pills have been sold, and the three thousand Beauty Pills are also sold out. As for the Spirit Gathering Pellets, we are waiting for Zhang Xuan Pharmaceuticals to officially open before putting them on sale!"
The Spirit Gathering Pellets were for ordinary people and required time to ferment to produce a greater effect. If they were sold now, people would get them immediately, diminishing their anticipation. It would be better to sell them three days later to generate more power of will.
Zhang Xuan nodded. "I plan to make a trip to Spirit Origin Heaven. You and Sun Qiang can handle matters here," he said.
With her and Sun Qiang, two professionals, managing the business, there was nothing to worry about. His focus should be on how to find Luo Ruoxi.
"Go to Spirit Origin Heaven?" Qi Ling'er was startled. "How will Young Master get there? If you ride a flying divine beast, it would take years to cover such a distance..."
Phantom Soul Heaven was located in the northwest of the God Realm, while Spirit Origin Heaven was in the true south. The distance between them was immeasurable.
"Can't I just use a teleportation array...?" Zhang Xuan asked.
He had used one when coming from Nightfall City, so why was she questioning it?
Seeing his confusion, Qi Ling'er explained, "That teleportation array can only be used within Phantom Soul Heaven. It's also called a Small Teleportation Array. To go to Spirit Origin Heaven, you need a Great Teleportation Array that can break through the various Heavens! And using such an array isn't that easy..."
"Great Teleportation Array?" Zhang Xuan genuinely hadn't known.
"The Nine Heavens and Nine Emperors govern the God Realm, essentially like nine different nations. Each nation has borders. How could they allow people to enter casually, let alone use a teleportation array? If they truly had no defenses, the major powers would constantly crush each other, and the Nine Heavens would have fallen into chaos long ago," Qi Ling'er explained.
The Nine Heavens are like nine empires; within the same one, one can easily teleport. But how could one freely enter another? If it were an enemy, wouldn't it be like opening a back door for them?
"If there's a Great Teleportation Array, there must be a way to use it, right?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"There are ways to use it. As far as I know, there are three," Qi Ling'er replied.
Qi Ling'er continued, "First, you can become a God King or be among the top thirty on the God King Potential List, possess a special non-combat profession, and reach the pinnacle of the God Realm. For example, Grandmaster Fu Jiangchen is not only a God King but also a Grandmaster Alchemist. Even though he is registered in Exquisite Heaven, he can still travel freely within the Nine Heavens without hindrance!"
"Second, you can become an envoy from Phantom Soul Heaven to Spirit Origin Heaven! Such an envoy must at least be a Golden Armored General, and also possess sufficient meritorious deeds and an appointment from the Qiankun Demon Monarch."
"Third, you can obtain a special permit from Self-Contained Heaven. The reason Self-Contained Heaven is said to be above the other eight Heavens is precisely because with their permit, the Great Teleportation Arrays of all other Heavens can be used at will. The prerequisite is the same as the first condition: being a God King or among the top thirty on the God King Potential List. Otherwise, if the teleportation array is activated and you lack sufficient power, you could easily be crushed into fragments by the twisted space."
"For all three of these methods, strength is key. At the very least, you need to be at the peak of the upper-grade Heavenly God realm... Young Master Zhang's strength..."
Qi Ling'er didn't continue speaking.
She had personally witnessed his cultivation. When they first met, he was a low-grade God, then he continuously ascended, reaching low-grade Heavenly God.
Spurred by this, she also cultivated diligently.
With her increased status in the family and the countless resources supplied by her clan these past few days, she had only managed to somewhat consolidate her low-grade Heavenly God realm. When she would break through to the middle-grade was unknown, and she presumed the same for him.
Heavenly Gods were not mere Gods... Each minor level-up was exponentially more difficult.
Given this, even if he had the opportunity to teleport, his own body wouldn't be able to withstand it!
After all, even a Small Teleportation Array required protection from a City Lord's Token. A Great Teleportation Array would be even more powerful and definitely not something just anyone could use.
"My strength? I've already reached the upper-grade Heavenly God realm!" Zhang Xuan said, no longer suppressing his internal power, and immediately revealed it.
He had always been low-key. After his breakthrough, he hadn't told anyone. A God King might have been able to discern his true cultivation, but it was normal for a low-grade Heavenly God not to recognize it.
"You..."
As the aura of an upper-grade Heavenly God was released, the immense pressure made Qi Ling'er involuntarily take a step back, her eyes wide with shock. She was completely stunned.
Trembling uncontrollably, she clutched her chest, her heart spasming, utterly speechless.
She was utterly devastated.
When they first met at the underground market in Nightfall City, his cultivation was far beneath hers. Yet, in just over ten days, he had consecutively broken through six major realms, far surpassing her to an extent she could no longer hope to match...
This cultivation speed... was he even human?
From now on, she couldn't talk to him about cultivation or strength; her heart couldn't take it...
