In front of the gate of the Imperial Palace.
After whipping Lucifer for a while in the Soul Prison, Chi Chen also left the Soul Prison.
"A powerful soul that has touched the threshold of the divine realm!"
Thinking of Lucifer in the Soul Prison, it would be impossible for Chi Chen not to feel excited.
His heart was far from as calm as he appeared on the surface.
That's an extremely powerful trump card for survival. There are no god-level experts on Earth.
In other words, if Chi Chen could really harden his heart and absorb Lucifer's soul, even for only a short period of time, he could unleash terrifying combat power.
With the addition of several heaven-defying divine restrictions that Chi Chen possesses, Chi Chen dares not imagine what kind of scene he will create when he takes action.
On Earth, perhaps no one could stop my attack during that period.
Perhaps, the awe-inspiring scene I once saw in the monkey statue will appear in my own life.
"It's really inspiring to think about!"
Chi Chen became more and more excited as he thought about it, but he also knew that the soul of a powerful person who had touched the threshold of the Divine Realm was probably not so easy to withstand.
Although the Emperor of Fengdu said that the Prison of Gods was not to be sought and had no side effects, Chi Chen could not afford to be careless when it came to things involving the term "Divine Realm".
If things go wrong and Lucifer not only fails to help him, but instead takes over and possesses him, then Chi Chen will have nowhere to turn and will have anything to cry about.
Therefore, Chi Chen will not easily use this trump card until the very last moment, whether for a bigger plan in the future or for his own safety.
"Let's go, let's go inside the Imperial Palace and take a look!"
Chi Chen composed himself, turned around and walked towards Hu Miaomiao, naturally taking her small hand in his.
"???"
Hu Miaomiao's body stiffened slightly as she looked at Chi Chen in disbelief, her almond-shaped eyes shimmering with tears and a hint of shyness.
Why has this Soul Shattering and Reshaping caused such a significant change in Chi Chen?
Despite Hu Miaomiao's usual carefree and playful demeanor, which often teases Chi Chen, she actually felt a little shy when Chi Chen took the initiative.
"Hehe, I was just worried there might still be danger inside the Imperial Palace. Holding your hand will allow the cloak of night to cover you!"
Seeing this, Chi Chen said without batting an eye.
Upon hearing this, Hu Miaomiao rolled her eyes.
I don't believe you. The biggest danger right now is that you've sent it somewhere unknown.
I think the biggest danger right now is you, isn't it?
Hu Miaomiao silently criticized Chi Chen's somewhat clumsy excuse in her mind.
However, Hu Miaomiao did not try to break free from Chi Chen's grasp on her small hand.
"hey-hey!"
Seeing this, Chi Chen smiled sheepishly again, and then pulled Hu Miaomiao into the Imperial Palace.
Behind Chi Chen, Hu Miaomiao looked at her hand being held and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
Inside the Imperial Palace, apart from the houses on both sides of the street that were covered in dust, there was nothing else.
Thus, with Chi Chen slightly on guard, the two walked through the Imperial Palace for more than half an hour before finally arriving at a pavilion that was quite different from the other buildings.
"Is this the place?"
Chi Chen looked at the three-story pavilion in front of him. The thing that Venerable Lingfeng had mentioned should be inside this building.
The two pushed open the door and entered. The moment the door opened, a breeze blew in, and Chi Chen's expression became slightly dazed. A trace of sadness unconsciously appeared in his eyes, but it was only for a moment and was quickly hidden by Chi Chen. Even Hu Miaomiao, who was standing next to him, did not notice it.
The first floor of the building simply had a few rows of bookshelves, but at this moment, apart from the dust that had accumulated over countless years, there was nothing else on the bookshelves.
Chi Chen guessed that the ancestors of the God Realm probably took it with them when they went from this forbidden area to the God Realm, and didn't pay too much attention to it.
The two turned and went to the stairs on the side, and went straight up to the second floor. The furnishings on the second floor were even simpler. There were only a few dozen futons on the ground. In front of the futons was a slightly raised platform, and on the platform was a dilapidated lotus throne.
This floor must be where our ancestors once sat and discussed philosophy.
In a daze, Chi Chen seemed to see an old man with an air of otherworldly grace sitting on the lotus platform, and dozens of figures dressed in white sitting on the futons below, listening quietly to the Taoist priest expounding on the great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
At one point, the old man on the lotus platform seemed to glance in the direction of Chi Chen, and then gave Chi Chen a kind smile.
Then, when Chi Chen looked again, there was no one in front of him.
"call!"
Chi Chen took a deep breath, no longer lingering on the second floor, and pulled Hu Miaomiao toward the top floor.
After passing through two more staircases, Chi Chen and Hu Miaomiao arrived at the third floor of the pavilion.
On the third floor, apart from a columnar platform in the center, there was only a desk simply placed in front of the window, with an inkstone and several pen holders hanging on it.
Chi Chen came to the desk, quietly looked at everything on it, and then silently walked to the high platform in the middle of the room.
Hu Miaomiao stood quietly beside Chi Chen, without saying a word.
She always felt that Chi Chen had been somewhat different ever since he entered this pavilion.
However, Hu Miaomiao couldn't pinpoint exactly where the differences lay.
"Perhaps it's because of the reshaping of the shattered soul?"
Hu Miaomiao had a hunch that something she didn't know must have happened during the process of Chi Chen's shattered soul being reshaped.
But just as Chi Chen had treated her, Hu Miaomiao did not choose to ask what had happened.
They are all waiting for the right time, the right opportunity, so that everything will naturally become clear.
On a high platform in the center of the room, there was a purple crystal ball.
According to Venerable Lingfeng, as long as one places their hand on the crystal sphere, they can obtain an invisible outer garment attached to their soul, creating a false body similar to a physical one.
After returning to Earth, there's no need to worry about the soul dissipating due to the different rules of heaven and earth.
Chi Chen stretched out a hand and placed it on the purple sphere.
A cold sensation came over him, making Chi Chen shiver involuntarily. Then, Chi Chen clearly felt something emanating from the purple sphere, slowly covering his soul.
As time passed, Chi Chen clearly felt his cultivation level slowly recovering. A portion of the invisible power surging from the purple sphere transformed into spiritual power and flowed into Chi Chen's body.
"The source of heaven and earth...the eternal cycle of reincarnation...the one from beyond..."
"What is true freedom...? It arises from a single thought... and vanishes with a single thought..."
"Today, all races...united...achieved victory..."
"...."
In the dim light, it seemed as if the chanting of the Great Dao was beginning in Chi Chen's ears, but no matter how hard Chi Chen concentrated, he could not hear it clearly.
"You...finally...came back..."
A few minutes later, when Chi Chen felt his soul body being enveloped by an invisible substance, he clearly heard a voice in his ear.
The voice seemed to contain a mixture of relief, helplessness, and a hint of surprise.
Just as that voice rang out, a beam of light burst forth from the purple sphere, instantly enveloping Chi Chen and Hu Miaomiao in the pavilion.
As the light faded, Chi Chen and Hu Miaomiao were no longer seen inside the pavilion.
But the brushes on the desk and brush holder moved on their own without any wind, and faintly, a sigh seemed to rise from the attic before returning to silence.
...
"This is... the dimensional realm, Dawn City?"
Inside Dawn City in the Dimensional Realm, Chi Chen and Hu Miaomiao appeared out of thin air. Chi Chen looked at the dilapidated city before him, still somewhat incredulous.
Did they just return to Earth like that?
"I'm finally back!"
Chi Chen stood in the city and waved his hand vigorously, feeling the abundant power within his body. He wondered what kind of expressions Lin Bai and the others would have when they saw him.
Chi Chen's lips curled up slightly. Half a year had passed, and he had now reached the Star Radiance Realm. What had they become?
