Chapter 1363: Chapter 596: As Expected, None of the Saints Are Simple!
After the passage was opened, Zhao Feng quietly returned to Xuandu City.
At this moment, Xuandu City had already undergone a significant change in atmosphere.
The fifty thousand Daqin Elite Soldiers did not show any sign of panic despite being in the Foreign Lands. They quickly took over city defenses, with sentries every three steps and scouts every five, creating a stern military formation with Evil Qi soaring into the sky, forcing the surrounding chaotic qi flow back threefold.
The Human Sect cultivators, accustomed to a more relaxed atmosphere, were each shaken in their heart and spirit as they observed this disciplined and orderly ironclad force.
Zhao Feng found Li Mu, who was handing over the defenses with Xuandu.
"General Li."
"I am here!"
Li Mu immediately clasped his fists, standing straight with respect as he responded.
Zhao Feng calmly commanded, "This place, named Outer Heaven, is the first line of defense against the Otherworld for Qin."
"From today onwards, you will lead the Northern Camp and station here."
"Work with the Human Sect disciples to clear out the invading enemies. Should any Outer Realm Demons cross the border, kill them without mercy."
Li Mu said without hesitation, "I obey!"
For soldiers, orders are akin to sacred duty. The identity of the enemy and their origin do not matter.
What is important is cutting them down outside Qin’s borders.
Zhao Feng then turned to Xuandu, nodding respectfully, "Daoist, we leave this place to you."
"Don’t worry, Daoist." Xuandu’s face was full of gratitude, smiling, "With the assistance of the Daqin Elite Soldiers, Xuandu City is as solid as a rock."
He knew very well.
From this moment onward, the authority over the defense of this Outer Heaven had silently transferred from the Human Sect to Qin.
But he felt no dissatisfaction about this change; instead, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Guarding this place for countless Primordial Meetings, the pressure of it was known only to him.
Now, finally, someone could share this heavy responsibility.
Once matters were arranged, Zhao Feng did not linger further.
He stepped into the transmission array, a flash of light, and his figure vanished.
...
Qin, Heavenly Palace.
Zhao Feng’s figure emerged from the Void.
Ying Zheng stood at the center of the great hall, seemingly having awaited him, smiling, "Fenger, is everything taken care of?"
Zhao Feng smiled and replied, "The Northern Camp has been stationed in Outer Heaven, no issues with defense."
Ying Zheng nodded, standing with hands behind back, gaze directed towards the direction of the Nan Zhanbu Continent outside the hall: "Now, the Westward Journey Five have gathered, and the Primordial Tribulation Qi has reached its peak."
"Countless demon cultivators of the Nan Zhanbu Continent have been drawn into it; the Buddhist Sect and Heavenly Court are struggling to cope, making it an opportune time for Qin to engulf the heavens and earth."
"Currently, our eight large camps of Qin are using this opportunity to steadily expand westward."
Zhao Feng understood his father’s approach.
With the internal conflicts within the Primordial Lands overseen by his father, he need not worry any further.
Then.
Zhao Feng immediately spoke, "Father, after this journey to Outer Heaven, I have gained some insights and need to go into seclusion for some time to seek a breakthrough."
"Go ahead." Ying Zheng turned around, smiling, "With Qin under my charge, you can focus on achieving your breakthrough with peace of mind."
Zhao Feng said no more, bowed to Ying Zheng, and then stepped out, returning to his Crown Prince Palace.
In the depths of the palace, within a secret chamber.
Zhao Feng sat cross-legged.
Although there were no disturbances during his journey to Outer Heaven, the appearance of the Otherworld still made him feel an unprecedented pressure.
He must quickly take that final step to prove the Dao of Primordial.
Only by possessing strength equal to a Saint can he truly hold the right to handle the chess pieces in this grand game, which uses the entire Primordial Lands as the chessboard.
Meanwhile, the avatar of a Twelve-winged Angel, which Zhao Feng’s Divine Thought was attached to, had already crossed the golden passage opened by the Chaos Bell, stepping into a distinctly different world.
...
Gods World.
Heavenly Divine Kingdom.
Upon entering, Zhao Feng immediately sensed a set of world rules entirely different from Primordial Land.
The air lacked Spiritual Energy, replaced by a pure, holy energy filled with light and order.
He called this energy "Divine Power."
The entire space seemed like an ocean of light.
Magnificent hymns resonated in his ears; countless angels with wings travelled through the sea of light, prayers echoing, each exuding powerful auras.
Zhao Feng’s Divine Thought, infinitely close to the level of a Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal, instantly spread out, quietly analyzing the laws and power structure of this world.
At that moment, a grand voice rang out: "Uriel, you are back."
Following the voice.
Ahead, countless angels surrounded a figure, gradually flying over.
The leading angel had a handsome face, an authoritative demeanor, with sixteen huge luminous wings unfurled behind him, wielding a giant sword burning with golden flame.
His strength had reached the level of a Quasi-Saint from the Primordial Lands.
This was Michael, one of the seven great Archangels of the Heavenly Divine Kingdom, charged with overseeing warfare. He looked at the safely returned ’Uriel,’ inquiring, "What is the situation in that dark land of sin?"
Zhao Feng was about to utilize Uriel’s memories to fabricate a story when another voice came, "Father God summons."
Zhao Feng looked over.
It was another Sixteen-winged Archangel flying over.
His aura was exactly the same as Michael’s.
This was Archangel Gabriel!
Though both of these angels were extremely powerful, they did not discern Zhao Feng’s disguise.
Led by the two Archangels, Zhao Feng, in the guise of Uriel, flew through countless sacred palatial structures toward the core of the Divine Country—the Divine Palace.
Light Divine Palace.
This palace, entirely constructed of the purest Light Crystal Stone, was grand beyond measure.
Giant pillars reached towards the sky, and on the dome, innumerable depictions illustrated Yahweh’s creation narratives.
