Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 76 - Heart Net Hall

“What!” Zhou Heng jumped up, thinking how cruel the Lone Extinct Sect must be to make sisters kill each other!

He knew that Lone Extinct Sect was the second among the Nine Peaks of Tian Hang, far surpassing the Black Water Hall in strength, but he never imagined the Lone Extinct Sect could be so evil!

“Why do you let the sect control you?” Zhou Heng asked loudly, finding it to be utterly unreasonable.

“What’s wrong with it?” Gu Zi countered, her eyes clear, showing no trace of pretense.

Indeed, she had been raised with such beliefs and had not realized anything wrong with them.

It was like a child who was raised by wolves from a young age; in his eyes, eating humans wouldn’t be strange at all.

Zhou Heng had no response.

How could he discuss moral norms with a wild person?

He inquired about the matters of the Lone Extinct Sect, and Gu Zi didn’t hide anything, seemingly full of trust in Zhou Heng.

Although the Lone Extinct Sect was ranked second among the Nine Peaks of Tian Hang, in terms of member count, it was at the bottom due to their strict disciple selection criteria and brutal training methods.

The Lone Extinct Sect only accepted twins, each cultivating a conflicting cultivation technique from childhood, inherently enemies, and killing the other would enable one to obtain the martial understanding of the deceased twin through their special connection, leading to significant progress in cultivation.

This kind of hatred formed from childhood, deep in their bones, was unresolvable!

What an evil sect!

Zhou Heng thought but did not vocalize it, knowing Gu Zi discerned no good or evil but only whether others had hostile intentions towards her; it was futile to explain it to her.

“Let’s go, to the palace you mentioned!” He didn’t linger on the subject of sisterly strife, as speaking more now would be pointless.

“Mhm!” Gu Zi nodded and led the way.

After roughly half an hour of walking through the ruins, a magnificent palace appeared before them.

This area was the surrounding Abandoned Domain, with only this resplendent palace standing out, giving off a peculiar feeling.

The palace doors were tightly shut, standing a full thirty meters tall, invoking an involuntary sense of insignificance in those standing before them.

“There might be danger inside!” Gu Zi didn’t immediately push the doors but said, “In three days, I can expel all the toxins in my body, and then we can enter!”

“Alright!”

Zhou Heng nodded in agreement.

This woman didn’t know how to pretend, and her intentions were transparent.

He believed she wouldn’t turn on him once she regained her strength.

Also, he had reached the peak of the First Layer of Spirit Gathering and could attempt to break through to a higher level.

Both sat down, one hastily trying to remove the toxins, and the other began the attempt to break through to the Second Layer of Spirit Gathering.

Compared to the Body Refinement Realm, the minor realms within the Spirit Gathering Realm were much harder to break through.

However, Zhou Heng’s Divine Sense had already far surpassed his current level during the practice of the Sky-soaring Nine Forms, and just two days later, his body shook, and he broke through!

The Spiritual Energy around him roiled and automatically converged towards his body, continuously transforming into Spiritual Power and rapidly enhancing his strength, solidifying his realm.

This continued for a good quarter of an hour before stopping.

Second Layer of Spirit Gathering!

Zhou Heng noticeably felt the difference, with significant improvements in vision and hearing.

He shook his hands, and Purple Flame ignited, metal solidified.

“That’s right, both Bloodline Powers have been enhanced to a certain extent!” He nodded silently to himself.

Although the Black Sword was constantly enhancing his physique, it was during the breakthrough in realm that the changes were most apparent.

“Now, the power of both Bloodlines can cover up to my wrists!”

“If I were to test it now, I would be considered a Four Star Human Spirit Body!”

Moreover, his Dantian Space expanded threefold, and the previously filled space could now accommodate more Spiritual Power.

Lin Fuxiang also seemed to have a partial understanding.

The Dantian Space was not fixed but would continue to expand with the increase of one’s realm.

Besides, how could one talk about possessing an entire world with a mere three-foot Dantian Space at the Divinity Transformation Realm?

However, Zhou Heng’s current Dantian Space was already three times larger than that of an ordinary person at the peak Third Layer Heaven of Spirit Gathering.

Even without being fully filled, the total amount of Spiritual Power was close to twice that of an ordinary peak Third Layer Heaven of Spirit Gathering—terrifying indeed!

This meant he now possessed twice the power of an ordinary peak Third Layer Heaven of Spirit Gathering!

He continued to stabilize his realm since Gu Zi had not yet come around.

Another day passed, and Gu Zi suddenly leaped up, her majestic aura spreading out and exerting enormous pressure on Zhou Heng.

“Let’s go, we’re entering!” she said, just as coolly.

“Heh, you’re much stronger than me now.

Won’t you turn against me?” Zhou Heng joked.

“I won’t!” Gu Zi said earnestly.

“You saved my life, and I will repay you!”

“Seems like it was twice, right?”

“Once!” Gu Zi shook her head.

“That Violent Mysterious Tiger wouldn’t have hurt me even if you hadn’t intervened!”

Shit, the calculation was indeed precise, and taking advantage of her was not as easy as he thought.

“Once is enough!” Zhou Heng said with a slight smile, placed both hands on the palace gates, and pushed hard, but the gate remained immovable.

To his surprise, his current strength was at the Second Layer Heaven of Spirit Gathering, with a dantian space eight times larger than that of an ordinary person, and the power in his arms was nearly a million jin, yet he couldn’t push open the gate!

“I’ll do it!” Gu Zi placed her hands on the gate as well, but just then, a flash of light passed by, and a child’s figure suddenly appeared at the doorway, startling them both into taking several steps back.

It was just too eerie.

“Don’t be nervous, I’m materialized by the Array Spirit!” The child had his hair combed into a skyward braid, his little face chubby and pale, “If you want to get the Nine Mystic Trial Tower, you must open the gate with your own strength!”

“Don’t worry, this gate will automatically adjust the required strength to push it open according to your realm!” he added.

“You’re not human?” Zhou Heng stretched out a finger towards the child and pressed down, but touched nothing; the other party was not a physical entity, but a projection of light and shadow.

“You’re the humans!” the child said discontentedly, seemingly ashamed of being human.

“We indeed are humans!” Gu Zi nodded earnestly.

Zhou Heng slapped his forehead; getting into an argument with a child, big or small, would be endless.

He asked, “What exactly is this place?”

“You don’t even know where this is?” the child exclaimed in surprise, “I’m really defeated by you!

Listen, this is Heart Net Hall, and because the old master has died, as long as you pass through Heart Net Hall, you can get the ultimate treasure—the Nine Mystic Trial Tower!”

“How did the previous master of this place die?”

“I don’t remember!”

“…How long ago did that happen?”

“I don’t remember!”

“…What was the identity of your old master?”

“I don’t remember!”

“How come you don’t remember anything!”

“Because I’m just a spirit of the formation, I only remember my duty.

Other things will be forgotten once I return to the formation!”

Quite pitiable!

“Then, you must know what the Nine Mystic Trial Tower is, right?” Zhou Heng changed the subject.

“Don’t know, that’s information left by the master, whoever can pass Heart Net Hall will get the Nine Mystic Trial Tower!” The child still shook his head, then snapped his fingers, “I’ve said what I needed to say.

Go ahead and challenge the trails, remember, the only way out is through Heart Net Hall!

Otherwise, death!

Fail the challenge, death!”

After repeating ‘death’ twice, his body rapidly faded and soon disappeared entirely.

“Hey!

Hey!” Zhou Heng called out to the door a few times, but there was no response, “It seems we have no choice but to take on the challenge!” he said, turning to Gu Zi.

Gu Zi nodded, pressed her hands to the gate, her spiritual power surged, and suddenly burst forth.

Click, click-click-click, the doors parted, revealing a semi-translucent screen, which she didn’t hesitate to step through.

Zhou Heng also tried to follow, but the screen suddenly turned as hard as iron, rebounding him back.

Bang, the doors closed again.

Truly quite spirited, not even allowing for a moment of laziness!

Zhou Heng also placed his hands on the door, pushing with all his might.

With a dantian space eight times that of an ordinary person and at the Second Layer Heaven of Spirit Gathering, his strength had already surpassed that of an ordinary cultivator at the Perfection Realm of Spirit Gathering Third Layer Heaven.

Click, click-click-click, the doors opened again.

When he took another step, the screen no longer resisted; he smoothly stepped through.

This was a gloomy passage with no end in sight.

Fortunately, Zhou Heng was now at the Spirit Gathering Realm and had the ability to see in the dark, even though it was limited to only about thirty feet.

“Shouldn’t there be a great hall after entering?

Why such a scene?” Zhou Heng muttered to himself, “A formation?

Yes, the whole great hall is set up with a formation.

I’m now caught in the midst of it, I can only go with the flow!”

“Challenge, challenge, where is the challenge?”

He strode forward, elevating his Essence, Qi, and Spirit to their peak, ready to face any sudden attacks.

Pah!

A soft sound, a stream of silver liquid fell from the wall, drip-dropping on the floor to form a large pool.

However, this liquid was extremely viscous, expanding like a rubber ball without spreading around.

Ultimately, the silver liquid turned into a ball about two feet in diameter.

Without warning, the sphere grew hands, feet, a neck, and quickly transformed into a silver human figure!

After forming the last strand of hair, the Silver Man opened his eyes, which were void of pupils and whites, only glinting with two bright white lights.

Bang!

Without a word, he launched a heavy punch toward Zhou Heng.

Such speed!

Zhou Heng moved swiftly to the side, sliding half a foot to the left to dodge the punch.

The rush of air from the punch was so fierce it felt like it would lacerate his skin.

—Not only was the speed faster, but the punching power was terrifying!

Bang!

The Silver Man twisted his body, movements incredibly agile, and launched another punch at Zhou Heng.

“Hmph, think I’m afraid of you?” Zhou Heng scoffed and met the punch with his own.
