Chapter 2089: Grotto Heaven Laws! (1/2)
But beneath the peaceful surface, the undercurrent grew more and more furious, though only a few people knew of this.
Ten days later, Wang Chong's three divine embryos finished their long trek and returned to the capital.
Buzz!
In the main hall, the floor rippled as Wang Chong's three divine embryos emerged out of the ground, radiating, brown, azure, and golden light respectively. But the greatest change was with the energy on their bodies.
This time, the three divine embryos had a faint hint of spacetime energy.
”Not bad! It really was a good harvest!”
Wang Chong looked in delight at the three divine embryos.
The harvest had been much greater than he had initially imagined. Destroying the teleportation gate was good enough, but he had also obtained the precious law energy within Firmament Supreme's Grotto Heaven Core.
Though Firmament Supreme eventually self-detonated and destroyed a part of the law energy, if he gathered together all of the Grotto Heaven Core Law energy the three divine embryos had collected, he had around eighty percent.
”Once the time is right, I can combine these Grotto Heaven Laws together and have a much easier time cultivating.”
Wang Chong's eyes were bright with satisfaction.
The peak of the Subtle realm and the Grotto Heaven realm seemed only one step apart, but in truth, it was a gap as great as that between heaven and earth. Yet in obtaining Firmament Supreme's Grotto Heaven Law, he essentially had a staircase crossing this gap. It would now take much less time and difficulty for him to reach the Grotto Heaven realm.
”Faceless man, come here.”
Wang Chong turned his gaze to the other side of the hall, where the faceless man was standing.
With the mission at the shores of the Caspian Sea over, the faceless man had returned to the capital. More importantly, the faceless man had also absorbed some of the precious Grotto Heaven Stellar Energy from Firmament Supreme and was showing signs of advancement.
”Your Excellency!”
The faceless man silently came forward and bowed.
”This is for you. This contains knowledge of the origin of energy, and I have also added in part of my memories and understanding. Take it and digest this knowledge. At your level, once you comprehend the origin of energy, you have a high chance of reaching the Subtle realm, which will make you much more helpful in future operations,” Wang Chong said from the raised platform.
Bang!
He flicked his finger, sending a warm ball of light flying through the air and into the faceless man's body.
”Many thanks, Master!”
The faceless man bowed, but his voice did not carry much emotion.
”You're dismissed.”
He had his own places to be. If he did not wish to report something to Wang Chong, Wang Chong would not ask.
The hall fell silent. With the faceless man gone, Wang Chong waved his hand, closing the doors of the hall. In a flash of light, Wang Chong activated the powerful protective formation he had requested the Formation Elder to set up underneath the hall, covering the entire hall in a barrier.
Boomboomboom!
At this moment, the air in the hall rumbled as Wang Chong and his three divine embryos all exploded with howling energy. Behind them, golden pavilions manifested, magnificent and grandiose, seeming to extend into the depths of spacetime.
The Trayastrimsa Heaven!
At this moment, Wang Chong and his three divine embryos were all using the supreme art of the Central Plains.
Each of these Trayastrimsa Heavens was at least twenty-five floors, with Divine Embryo 1's rising up to twenty-seven floors.
Buzz!
Wang Chong appeared in the center of the hall, positioning himself and three divine embryos so that they were in the positions of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Xuanwu Turtle, the four directions. The four Trayastrimsa Heavens were pushed to their limit and began to fuse together.
Their four energies began to fuse, strands of golden Origin Immortal Stellar Energy flowing between the four pavilions.
And within these streams of Origin Immortal Stellar Energy were mysterious strands of spacetime energy.
Wang Chong's three clones had seized Firmament Supreme's Grotto Heaven Core Laws and Stellar Energy, and they were now sharing it with Wang Chong's original body.
With the Trayastrimsa Heaven serving as the bridge, the Grotto Heaven Stellar Energy and Laws slowly moved to Wang Chong's original body.
As these powers nurtured him, Wang Chong grew stronger and stronger.
Buzz!
Space rippled as Wang Chong's twenty-five-floor Trayastrimsa Heaven rose another floor.
Twenty-six floors!
It had taken only a few moments for Wang Chong to achieve a breakthrough, rising to the twenty-sixth floor of the Trayastrimsa Heaven. And just a few moments later…
Boom! The Trayastrimsa Heaven behind Wang Chong trembled again and rose to twenty-seven floors.
Just a few moments' effort had been the equivalent of a hard year of cultivation.
