Chapter 454: Entering the Primordial Mystic Ark
Today was the first day after the Seven Nations Ranking Battle ended. The sky had barely begun to brighten, yet Shenhuang City was already filled with clamor. Countless Xuan practitioners looked up, gazing at the enormous black shadow in the sky... Today was the last day the Primordial Mystic Ark would remain in Shenhuang City, and the only day its doors would open.
Yun Che had meditated all night. When he stepped out of his room at the agreed time in the early morning, Gu Cang and Xia Yuanba were already waiting there. Hearing Yun Che emerge, they both turned around. Xia Yuanba quickly walked over: "Brother-in-law, I was just about to go call you. The Primordial Mystic Ark should be opening in about a quarter hour. The Fenghuang God Sect members have already gone up."
"Time is about right. Let's go up as well," Gu Cang said slowly. He flicked his whisk, and instantly, a half-zhang-wide vortex of Xuan force appeared beneath the feet of Yun Che and Xia Yuanba.
Before Yun Che could speak, the vortex began to spin, lifting his body straight up at a rapid speed. By the time he reacted, he was already a hundred zhang in the air.
What did a height of twenty thousand zhang mean? Ordinary clouds only floated at one or two thousand zhang. Yun Che's body shot straight upward, soon piercing through layer after layer of clouds. The wind howled past his ears like thunder. He wanted to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the violent airflow forced its way in, making him silently shut it again.
Though both the Heavenly Xuan Realm and King Xuan Realm allowed one to traverse the void, a height of twenty thousand zhang was absolutely unreachable for them. To reach such a height, one needed at least Overlord-level Xuan force. But for a mighty Emperor Lord, it required no effort at all. Not just carrying two people like Yun Che and Xia Yuanba—even a thousand posed no problem at all.
Finally, after passing through who knew how many cloud layers, the wind noise began to fade. Yun Che looked up. The colossal Primordial Mystic Ark was now less than a hundred zhang away. Stretching out before him, the Ark was so vast that its edges were nowhere in sight. Its color was not the dull gray seen from below, but a deep, dark red.
Only a hundred breaths had passed... a hundred breaths for twenty thousand zhang. This was far faster than Yun Che's own speed on the ground!
Gu Cang had brought them to one side of the Primordial Mystic Ark. When the three arrived, twenty or thirty people were already gathered there. Among them were Ji Qianrou and Ling Kun. The three from Heisha Kingdom had also arrived—one Overlord, one half-step Overlord, and one young Xuan practitioner. Among their peers in Heisha, they were the most outstanding. He smiled seductively and stepped into the spatial vortex.
"Owes you a favor?" Xia Yuanba stared wide-eyed at Yun Che. "Brother-in-law, what does he mean?"
"Just a small matter. Let's go in too."
"Oh!"
Yun Che and Xia Yuanba were the last two to enter. The moment they touched the spatial vortex, a tremendous suction force rushed toward them, followed by a terrifying spatial tearing. Their minds spun wildly. Just as Yun Che was about to channel his Xuan force to resist the spatial tearing, a sudden bright light appeared before his eyes...
