Chapter 760: Farewell
Upon hearing the Master of Yaoguang's question, Xiao Ze couldn't help but feel his heart race.
This was the opportunity to obtain one of the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities the Zhou Tian Star Map!
The Great Thousand World's ancient clans often safeguarded divine abilities as their clan treasures, like the Ice Spirit and Fire Spirit Clans. But the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities stood far above the rest, unmatched in their might.
Even Heavenly Sovereigns coveted these divine abilities, for they represented the pinnacle of cultivation.
Although Xiao Ze was confident in his ability to one day develop techniques rivaling the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities, he knew such achievements would only come after reaching the Heavenly Sovereign Realm.
But now, with the chance to grasp one of these abilities beforehand, he had the opportunity to dominate his peers long before reaching such heights.
"Senior, I am willing to give it my all!" Xiao Ze declared, bowing deeply. However, a trace of concern crossed his face.
"Yet... the Chaos Divine Hall lies deep within the Chaos Continent, a place known for its perpetual Chaos Storms. Even those who have touched upon the Heavenly Sovereign Realm dare not approach."
The Master of Yaoguang chuckled at Xiao Ze's worry.
"Ordinarily, that would indeed be the case. However, within the Yaoguang Divine Palace, there is a teleportation formation directly connected to the Chaos Divine Hall!"
"Although the formation has been dormant for many years, it still has enough energy for one or two uses."
Xiao Ze's face lit up with hope, but the Master of Yaoguang's tone suddenly turned serious.
"However, you must understand the depths of the Chaos Divine Hall are fraught with dangers. It served as the battlefield between the Lord of the Hall and multiple Heavenly Demon Emperors. The risks there are a hundredfold greater than those here."
"Even beings on the cusp of the Heavenly Sovereign Realm risk death with every step inside."
A Serious Decision
Xiao Ze's expression grew solemn at the warning.
"Senior, I have considered this carefully. Opportunities such as this are rare. To pass it up would be to resign myself to mediocrity. If I wished for comfort, I would find a small domain to rule, not pursue greatness."
The Master of Yaoguang studied Xiao Ze for a moment before nodding.
"Very well. Since your mind is made up, I shall not dissuade you."
Turning to Qing Yanjing, the Master of Yaoguang said, "Qing Yanjing, you are not like Xiao Ze. You have the protection and resources of the Futuo Ancient Clan. There is no need for you to risk yourself alongside him."
Qing Yanjing frowned, her inner conflict evident.
She knew her strength was far below Xiao Ze's. If she accompanied him into the depths of the Chaos Continent, she might become a burden something she did not want to happen.
After a moment's hesitation, she retrieved a Spatial Escape Talisman, created by a Heavenly Sovereign of the Great Thousand Palace.
"Senior, would this talisman work in the depths of the Chaos Continent?"
The Master of Yaoguang examined it and furrowed his brow.
"This talisman, crafted by a Heavenly Sovereign, should function anywhere within the Chaos Continent. However, the continuous Chaos Storms in the deeper regions may interfere with its effectiveness."
Qing Yanjing fell silent, weighing her options.
Xiao Ze turned to her and spoke gently.
"Teacher Qing, there's no need to accompany me into such danger. This is my choice, and I wouldn't want to drag you into it."
Qing Yanjing looked at Xiao Ze for a long moment, then sighed.
"Very well, but I will wait for you on Boundary Island."
Xiao Ze smiled and handed her a Dragon Pendant imbued with his power.
"This is a token connected to my life force. It will allow you to contact me anytime. If I encounter other opportunities in the Chaos Continent, I may not return to Boundary Island immediately."
After sensing the pendant's connection, Qing Yanjing nodded.
"Alright, I'll be waiting for your good news."
A Determined Farewell
Xiao Ze grinned.
"In that case, let's both do our best and see who steps onto the path of the Heavenly Sovereign first!"
Qing Yanjing was momentarily stunned by Xiao Ze's confidence and determination. Though she had always thought the Heavenly Sovereign Realm was an insurmountable ladder, Xiao Ze's boldness stirred something within her.
"Very well," she said, smiling. "As your teacher, I can't let myself fall behind my student!"
After bowing to the Master of Yaoguang, she activated her Spatial Escape Talisman.
As she vanished into a ripple of space, the Master of Yaoguang chuckled.
"Such fiery ambition in the youth these days. With talents like you two, even the dreaded External Demons may one day be defeated."
A New Journey
Xiao Ze watched Qing Yanjing's departure until the space ripples faded, then bowed deeply.
"Thank you, Senior, for persuading her to leave. It's a relief not to have her face such dangers."
"You think too much," the Master of Yaoguang replied with a laugh. "Still, it's good that you are cautious."
With a wave of his sleeve, a new Stellar Passage materialized.
"Come. The Chaos Divine Hall awaits."
Following the Master of Yaoguang through the passage, Xiao Ze soon found himself standing in a grand hall. His gaze immediately fell upon a massive spiritual array etched into the center of the chamber.
"A Grandmaster level teleportation array?" he muttered in surprise. "Wait... no, this is only a portion of a larger formation!"
The Master of Yaoguang nodded approvingly.
"Sharp eyes. This is a sub array of a Grandmaster level teleportation formation that connects directly to the Chaos Divine Hall. Ordinary formations would be torn apart by the Chaos Storms. Only this one can safely traverse the maelstrom."
