Chapter 701: Barrier of Heaven

“Tong--”

The entire world entered a patch of darkness. There was no storm, no shockwave but it felt as if each inch of my body was about to be ripped apart. Senior Sister Yun’s aura appeared in front of me to form White Dragon Pillar. Its light could only shine for a few meters so one could see how strong those two strikes were.

A few seconds later.

The world regained its light once more and Source White Dragon was still lazily circling the sky. It gave off a thick chaotic energy and the power from each inch of its scale was enough to crush the earth. Opposite the White Dragon, Shadow of Death Lni Hai held the Undying Sword and he looked really serious. He wore the death mask and one couldn’t see his expression but his body trembled a little.

“Not bad...”

A while later, Lin Hai said calmly, “as expected from someone who ruled the lands... But, you have no strength to kill me. So I will return and destroy everything you protect.”

Source White Dragon said lazily, “No worries, after me naturally there will be someone to protect the laws of the world. It has been like that for generations. The demonic path has always lost.”

“Scoff!”

Lin Hai jumped and turned into smoke which surged into the sky and disappeared into Dragon Region.

Source White Dragon’s body shrunk and he turned into a white light that gathered in the valley. He said lazily, “Lin Fengnian repair the barrier. Yun Yue, you need to continue to cultivate, you should understand how strong the enemy is.”

“Yes, understood!”

......

Everyone left one by one and at that moment, a bell rang. Now I had properly completed the Starlight Quest. There wasn’t any intense battle and it was just average difficulty but I was drenched in sweat. It was as if I had went through a tough life journey--

“Ding!”

System Notification: Congratulations for completing quest Queen’s Dream (Starlight), obtained rewards: Level +2, Charm +10, Dragon Region points +140 thousand, merit points +8 million, Gold +20000!

......

No extra rewards but I got 8 million points. This half a day was worth it. Level, Charm and Dragon Region points was the real gains!

At that moment, a blue whirlpool appeared above my head. As long as I jumped I could touch it. Each quest completion would give such a chance. At that moment, Source Whtie Dragon said towards me, “Go child.”

Source White Dragon could actually see the inflexion point? Was Source White Dragon also connected to the achievement system?

I had no idea but one can imagine that. Since Source White Dragon was one of the rulers, the only weakness he had was that he was too old. This made him weaker but he was still terrifyingly strong. Naturally it wasn’t surprising that he could see it.

Time to go!

I jumped and entered the whirlpool above my head. The moment I passed through, my eyes lit up and I was stunned--

What appeared in front of me was an endless barrier with no end at all. There were many marks like numerous meteors knocked into the surface of the planet. It was like the wall of the universe and one couldn’t see the end of it. When I turned behind, it was pitch black, there was nothing but this pillar.

Suppression!

That strong feeling surged at me. I couldn’t move at all and could only see the pillar. Each natural cave and mark appeared in front. I stood in front of the pillar and made me feel really small. I could sense that I was minute and insignificant in front of this. ṜαƝȪBÈS

Maybe this was how an ant feels?

What was this wall?

I frowned, “But I don’t understand what happened. I just saw a pillar, an endless pillar that was standing in the giant space.”

“That isn’t a pillar.”

Xiao Chen said solemnly, “That is the legendary Barrier of Heaven.”

“Barrier of Heaven?”

I was shocked, “What is that?”

“Unable to say, the cause and effect is too much.” He said solemnly.

I continued, “I saw a Sword Celestial, he smashed into it and his body was shattered.”

“After failing to see through the secrets, naturally he have to pay the consequences.”

“Master what exactly is it?” I continued to ask.

Xiao Chen hesitated for a while and said, “Under the Barrier of Heaven, everything is mortal. Like what I told you, everything came from matter and naturally someone can cultivate to become a god but they are the geniuses of mortals unable to really break free. After they reach the peak, they can notice the Barrier of Heaven. Only by passing through it can one break free and become a higher level life force. Maybe that is the true meaning of eternal life.”

“Since ancient times many people have passed through?”

“No, not even one.”

Xiao Chen sighed, “That includes me, I have never passed through. No one knew what the outside world is like as no one came from outside the pillar either.”

“...”

My head felt numb and I said, “Master let me return Shifang Flame Spiral Eye to you, it is the essence of your cultivation. After you have it, you can recover quickly.”

“No need.”

Xiao Chen smiled, “I had already cultivated to the extreme of my potential or rather Shifang Flame Spiral Eye restricted me. Now that it is with you that is good, I can focus on cultivating other laws.”

“Okay then...”

I nodded and asked, “Master, Barrier of Heaven...”

“What do you want to ask, you can just ask me.”

“IS it the legend of the celestial path?” I asked, “What is it, does it really exist?”

“Yes.”

Xiao Chen said solemnly, “It really exists. It exists in the galaxy and has always existed just that normal things can’t come into contact with it.”

“So Master means that it isn’t a legend but science?”

“...”

He kept silent for a while, “Master doesn’t understand, you can explore it yourself...”
