The Continent Crossing Vessel, now barely more than a wreck, slid through the Void Passage opened by the Supreme Ancestor of the Thousand Heavens Sect. Within the dark passage, there was no Space or time as mortals understood it; there was only the Law of Space released by the Great Formation.
The darkness of the passage was not absolute. Far in the distance, streaks of spiritual energy shot past like falling stars, the flying ship enveloped in a circular shield formation. There, they could see massive rocks strewn about, indicating they were passing through the vacuum of outer space.
Zhi Xuan stood rigid on the tilted deck, the feeling of dread from the Weaver Transformation clash still imprinted on his Wood Heart Law. He glanced around. The other disciples had been gathered in the main, intact area on the lower floor. They all looked pale, their bodies enveloped in an aura of cold fear.
"Monkey, that is what true power is called," Ruo Xianxue hissed, his voice returning to a cold, mocking tone. "If you were not on this ship and receiving only indirect pressure, you too would lose your arrogance about the Heaven Defying Dao."
Zhi Xuan ignored the taunt. He walked slowly across the debris, his leather-booted feet moving efficiently. He saw Fei Sheng and Feng Yi, who were now sitting cross-legged, trying to stabilize their foundations from the shock of the Weaver Transformation Law.
Fei Sheng opened his eyes, his jade fan held tightly. "Brother Zhi Xuan, I never thought Weaver Transformation would be this severe. Their Law... it is as if they are walking reality."
"They are incredibly powerful," Zhi Xuan replied, his voice showing curiosity and still filled with a sense of dread. "They weave the Law around them; it is a power incomprehensible to us now."
Feng Yi opened her eyes, her beautiful face now etched with genuine lines of exhaustion. Her Phoenix Fire aura flickered faintly, a sign that her foundation had been shaken but was now beginning to be calmed.
"They almost destroyed the entire ship, Zhi Xuan," Feng Yi said, her tone low. "Their power transcends, even Soul Transformation would not be able to last long in the face of that Domain clash."
Zhi Xuan nodded deeply, he took a spot to sit cross-legged beside Fei Sheng. "That is true, they are like... I do not know, but it is truly threatening."
Zhi Xuan sighed softly, calming his slight trembling. His breath was still ragged although the clash had passed, he could remember the moment the Devil Hand, filled with dark claws, seemed capable of tearing him apart without being near him, and the Will radiated by the two Weaver Transformations seemed to collapse his intent.
"They, that is the result of their manifested comprehension," said Fei Sheng, now calm, clasping his jade fan. "How deep and high is their understanding of the Great Path to form Law that walks around them?"
Zhi Xuan turned to Fei Sheng with a pale face. "True, that is a comprehension that transcends everything we have ever seen. What kind of power can manifest the Dao to form a Domain around them."
Fei Sheng nodded in agreement, his eyes radiating a flash of hidden Dao enlightenment that was rare. "Our Consciousness Transformation realm, as I said, is about weaving a false Sky in our Sea of Consciousness. However, today I saw Weaver Transformation... The distance is like Heaven and Earth."
Zhi Xuan leaned forward, his sapphire gaze now sharper than before, filled with the curiosity of a true cultivator who had just witnessed a Great Path that transcended his realm.
"False Sky," Zhi Xuan muttered. "That means we have not even touched any Law yet. We are only projecting essence to consider it Law. In reality, it is merely the development of our divine sense."
"Exactly, Brother Zhi Xuan," Fei Sheng countered, his eyes now radiating excitement over a rare Dao insight. "We are only projecting a sky in the Sea of Consciousness, making it a Realm of Consciousness to store a higher Divine Sense."
"We have not even grasped Five Element, how can we peek at what Weaver Transformation is?" Feng Yi added, her voice regaining its firmness. "We must be careful with every step of our cultivation in the Thousand Heavens Sect."
"Five Element..." Fei Sheng murmured, his eyes radiating strong determination. "I will achieve it soon at the Thousand Heavens Sect. We will have abundant resources there."
Zhi Xuan sighed, sensing the tenacity of Fei Sheng and Feng Yi. Amidst the destruction, they found new enlightenment and determination. This was the Path of Cultivation, always seeking opportunity amidst disaster.
"Five Element, huh? Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Lightning... That is unimaginable," Zhi Xuan murmured to himself. He had seen the manifestation many times. When Zhu Qinglan showed him a miniature of it, and then the senior sect disciples who were also at Five Element. He could feel the distance that almost made his resolve waver when seeing a higher realm.
With the vision of Weaver Transformation, which he had just learned about and seen before. He could see that the Great Path was so vast, and he was now merely cultivation dust that could easily be erased anytime by the high realm. That the secret of the sky, he had not touched a single inch in cultivation.
Zhi Xuan could not deny that he felt fear and doubt on this path. However, the knowledge of how he could one day grasp the stars, step above the sky, and master the Supreme Law made him feel that he must continue moving forward. Whatever the cost.
He glanced around, seeing the other disciples also sitting cross-legged on the ship. Swallowing self-recovery pills and recuperating individually. Zhi Xuan closed his eyes, and began meditation to calm himself after the Law clash he experienced.
In a darker corner, where hull cracks were hidden by shadows, Wang Mao stood, his body rigid, but his volcano-fire eyes radiated a much calmer calculation than before. Beside him, Han Jue sat cross-legged on a broken ironwood block, his Golden Dragon Law aura radiating slowly, calming the Space around him.
Han Jue opened his eyes, an icy cold flash crossed them as he stared at Zhi Xuan sitting with Fei Sheng and Feng Yi. He shifted his gaze, as if he had just seen a grain of sand unworthy of attention.
"Weaver Transformation," Han Jue murmured, his voice calm and cultured, yet containing a deep weight of Law. "They weave their own Sky, Junior Wang. They are walking Law, far beyond what we comprehend. Today, we are lucky they were not interested in us."
Wang Mao snorted, his shame in front of Zhi Xuan's Heavenly Moth had been replaced by cold ambition. "We are lucky they had a thousand-year grudge more important than the trash on this ship. But I have seen it, Han Jue. I have seen how fragile the false Sky I boasted of is."
Han Jue smiled faintly, a smile that reached his dragon eyes. "Your stimulated ambition, Junior Wang, is a good thing. But do not forget today's lesson. No power is absolute. Even Weaver Transformation, who weave their own Sky, can be halted by the Law of Space of the Supreme Ancestor."

He glanced briefly again at Zhi Xuan, who was now meditating between Fei Sheng and Feng Yi. "And in the lower realm, we see a miracle. A Verdant Titan Heavenly Moth submits to an early-stage Organ Transformation. A Dao tempered by suffering and limit has an unbreakable tenacity that cannot be shattered by realm. That is what we must understand, Junior Wang. Not to imitate, but to exploit."
Wang Mao nodded, his eyes returning to Zhi Xuan, but this time, there was no more blind contempt, but sharp calculation. He understood what Han Jue meant. Zhi Xuan was a strange compass, an anomaly showing that the Great Path does not always require pure heritage, but also a dirty and absolute will.
"I understand, Brother Han," Wang Mao replied, his tone now filled with new respect. "In the Three Heavens Jade Refinement Pond, we will see if the Dao tempered from mud can survive without its Ancient Beast. I want to see how deep that fragile Divine Wheel can absorb the Pure Jade Essence."
They both closed their eyes, sinking into cold and calculative cultivation. In the dark void passage, time seemed to stop, and only the vibration of the Great Formation guided the Continent Crossing Vessel toward its destiny.
On the other side of the tilted deck, Zhi Xuan sat cross-legged. He allowed his newly tempered Wood Heart to pulse with a calm rhythm, absorbing the remaining spiritual essence in the air. Although the passage was almost empty, the power of the Great Formation still left a spiritual aura that he could utilize.
He felt Xiao Die, the Thousand Feathered Moth, moving restlessly in the folds of his robe, disliking this distorted Space environment. Zhi Xuan touched its head with a calming touch, and the Heavenly Moth immediately quieted, radiating soft rainbow dust that soothed the restlessness.
"I just saw how vast the Sky is, Red Stone," Zhi Xuan said in his mind. His voice in the Sea of Consciousness was calm and cold again. "The power of Weaver Transformation, that is an end goal I cannot foresee."
"Do not be foolish, Monkey. The Sky you saw is merely an illusion of a lower Dao," Ruo Xianxue countered, his voice carrying the weight of ancient wisdom. "They are all merely cultivators. They do not penetrate the real Sky. The real Sky is the Sky above the Nine Heavens. And you, you are destined to step on it."
Zhi Xuan sighed, sensing Ruo Xianxue's foul and arrogant Devil Law. But he also sensed the core of truth in it. The truly above Heaven and Hell Sky is the Sky that will be full of Supreme Mystery and Power.
"I will calm myself, Red Stone. We will arrive at the Thousand Heavens Sect soon. I need composure to think about how to get a hundred Divine Black Jade Stones without having to kneel before Holy Fairy Zhu if she is there."
"Your priorities are truly shameful," Ruo Xianxue snorted. "Focus on cultivation. Five Element is the gateway to True Law. You must immediately temper the Spleen to balance your Organ cycle. Without Divine Black Jade Stones, you can only rely on luck in the Three Heavens Jade Refinement Pond."
Silence enveloped the flying ship, the destruction everywhere was slowly being restored by the senior disciples. After a journey that felt like weeks in the mortal realm, yet was traversed in a short time in the void space.
THUD!
The void crack opened. A gentle tremor awakened Zhi Xuan from his meditation. He opened his eyes, and the sight that greeted him was a sharp contrast to the chaos in the Void Passage.
Before him, stretched a cluster of towering mountains, their peaks piercing the thick white cloud layers, as if the mountains were pillars supporting the Sky. Jade-colored spiritual mist enveloped the valleys below, radiating an aura of tranquility and pure Law.
Each peak radiated a soft spiritual light, signifying the existence of Great Formations that drew and purified the essence of heaven and earth. Around the flying ship were mountain peaks that served as cultivation grounds for the core disciples. And around the ship, the aura of Five Element cultivators clashed everywhere, causing a subtle resonance that maintained the balance of the area in the Thousand Heavens Sect.
The tattered Continent Crossing Vessel drifted slowly across the bottomless abyss, heading towards the heart of the mountains. There, among the highest peaks shrouded in cloud silk, all eyes beheld an image of majesty that could only be carved by ancient Empires. Hundreds of gold and jade-roofed palaces hung in the void, connected by gracefully arching crystal bridges, as if the entire Sect was an immortal kingdom floating between Heaven and Earth.
The spiritual essence in the air was so thick, pure, and refreshing that every breath felt like swallowing a purification pill. This was no mortal aura; this was essence that had been refined by Ancient Formations for thousands of years, a foundation ready to support cultivators up to the Supreme realm. In the distance, an Immortal Spiritual Waterfall flowed from the highest peak, its water not ordinary water, but liquid essence radiating a stable Five Element aura.
On the tilted deck, Fei Sheng stood and immediately clasped his jade fan in front of his nose, greedily absorbing the essence. His tense face immediately softened, replaced by the happiness of a thirsty cultivator.
"This... this is the Central Continent!" Fei Sheng exclaimed, his voice slightly trembling with excitement. "This Ship has traversed thousands of miles and void passages just for this place! We have arrived at the main gate of the Thousand Heavens Sect!"
Feng Yi, beside him, did not speak. Her sharp eyes stared towards one of the mountain peaks, where she saw the figure of a female cultivator wearing a pure white robe, sitting cross-legged on the edge of the abyss. The Five Element aura radiated by the girl was so stable and pure, far surpassing anything Feng Yi had ever seen in the Southern Continent.
"No wonder this is called the Holy Land of Cultivation of the Central Continent," Feng Yi muttered, her old arrogance returning, but this time, wrapped in burning determination. "This is the place where weakness is crushed, and majesty is cultivated."
Zhi Xuan rose from his seat, he stepped forward, allowing the pure Central Continent wind to slap his face. He absorbed every breath, feeling the spiritual essence so dense and pure, as if he could easily step into Consciousness Transformation just by cultivating for a single day.
"Heaven! This is the Heaven of Cultivation!" Zhi Xuan roared, his voice filled with overflowing joy, like a child who had just found all the treasure he desired. The sapphire flash in his eyes now radiated glee, reflecting the grandeur of the Sect before him.
"Heaven? Nonsense!" Ruo Xianxue hissed, although his tone was still filled with contempt, its weight was slightly muffled by the extraordinary sight. "This is just a palace elevated by a great formation, monkey! But I must admit, their Spiritual Drawing Formation is first-class. They draw the earth's dragon veins to the surface."
Zhi Xuan ignored Ruo Xianxue's rebuttal. He was not interested in the Law of Formations, but in the potential it radiated. Before him, the arching crystal bridges looked like a Dao Path leading to Enlightenment. Every jade stone in the hanging palaces radiated a soft law of light, and above, the Sky seemed so close, as if he could jump and touch it.
The poor Continent Crossing Vessel finally moved towards a spiritual port hanging on a lower mountain peak. This peak looked more crowded, filled with disciples in white and blue uniforms who moved with calm and weighty auras.
As the ship approached, Zhi Xuan could feel every pore on his skin opening wide. The spiritual essence he absorbed was not only clearing the remnants of the Weaver Transformation pressure, but also calming his Wood Heart, making it pulse with a stronger and more stable rhythm.
"Cultivation will be thousands of times faster here!" Zhi Xuan roared in his mind, nearly jumping off the deck. He could see himself, surrounded by abundant essence, tempering his Organs in a matter of weeks, not months.
He allowed his gaze to sweep upwards, toward the Immortal Spiritual Waterfall. He imagined the waterfall flowing into his Heavenly Trifold Reincarnation Cauldron, purifying every Black Jade Essence into valuable Pure Jade. His cultivator's greed exploded, making him forget the danger of Zhu Qinglan.
"Zhi Xuan, control your aura!" Fei Sheng hissed, his face now radiating disapproval. "Your spiritual essence is too turbulent. Do not attract unnecessary attention, especially here."
Zhi Xuan immediately calmed himself, closing his pores, and taking a long breath. The expression of overflowing joy was immediately sheathed behind his cold composure, but the sapphire flash in his eyes still could not be hidden.
"Calm down, Brother Fei," Zhi Xuan countered, his tone flat again. "I am just... impressed. This is a worthy place for us to carve our Heavenly Dao. And there is no better place to make our false Sky the real Sky."
The words, spoken amidst the ship's debris and in the face of limitless grandeur, carried an indescribable weight of cold will. For Zhi Xuan, the Thousand Heavens Sect was not just a gateway to the Central Continent; it was an Experiment Garden for his rotten Dao.
The ship finally landed with a creaking sound on the jade platform. Immediately, several Elders in gray robes with calm Star Formation embroidery stepped forward, their faces showing concern and relief. They had been awaiting this catastrophic arrival.
"Welcome to the Thousand Heavens Sect," one of the Elders said, his voice calm and weighty. "The ten Star King's Stairs disciples, follow us. You will be directed to the Three Heavens Jade Refinement Pond to improve your Foundation and resource rights."
