566 Chapter 565: Spatial Turbulence

His urge to restart the simulator was due to a pressing issue that was weighing on his mind. It was the looming threat posed by the Fiend Clans of the Great Thousand World.

If he didn't become stronger, he would not be able to protect his loved ones.

Those Fiend Clans were notorious for their brutal raids and destruction whenever they encountered a new plane.

The speed at which one cultivated in the Great Thousand World was undoubtedly much faster compared to the Dou Qi Continent. Therefore, he couldn't afford to waste any more time and simply put all his hopes on others.

An enchanting voice echoed from the distance just as Xiao Ming was thinking about how to convince Zi Yan.

"Zi Yan, trust the arrangements made by our husband." Medusa emerged from the mansion. She was accompanied by several other graceful figures, all of whom were Xiao Ming's wives.

Xiao Yi Xian and the rest of them all nodded their heads in agreement with Medusa's words. They knew that their husband would not make a hasty decision.

"Sister Medusa..." Zi Yan pouted slightly when she saw that her sisters, including Medusa, supported Xiao Ming's decision to leave. Actually, she also knew that Xiao Ming must have his motives. However, she was the one who usually spent the most time with him. They even habitually cultivated together. As such, she couldn't help but feel very reluctant to be separated from him for such a long time.

Medusa stroked Zi Yan's purple hair and said a few more words to her. Then she turned to look at Xiao Ming.

"Go ahead with your plans. Don't worry about things back here. We'll take care of everything within the clan."

Xiao Ming reached out and gently pulled Medusa closer to him. He spoke softly. "All right, I will leave the clan matters in the capable hands of my wives. I'll be back as soon as I can."

"Now that the decision has been made, let's set off," Zhu Kun said. Fearing that his daughter might object again, he quickly added, "Zi Yan, take good care of the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe in my absence."

Zi Yan nodded her head and didn't say much more. Instead, she turned back to Xiao Ming and planted a soft, lingering kiss on his cheek. Then she whispered in his ear, "Stay safe, my husband."

One by one, his other wives came forward to kiss him goodbye. Each kiss was filled with deep affection and tenderness.

After their heartfelt farewells, Xiao Ming, Xiao Xuan, Zhu Kun, and the Pill Emperor exchanged glances. They then slowly ascended into the sky.

As they rose, the empty space above suddenly swirled with thick clouds. The sky within tens of thousands of miles darkened within moments. Countless experts looked up in shock towards the central mountain range. There, they sensed terrifying energy fluctuations.

Outside the realm, the endless space above Central Plains began to twist violently. The thick clouds writhed and eventually formed a dark passage. An aura that made people tremble with fear emitted from it...

That passage led to another dimension!

As they looked at the dark passage resembling a black hole, Xiao Ming flicked his finger. Three rays of light shot into the hands of Xiao Xuan, Zhu Kun, and the Pill Emperor.

"Exchange these soul jades with each other and leave your soul imprints on them. That way, if anything unexpected happens, we can be aware of each other's life and death situations."

Xiao Ming's expression was quite serious as he spoke. Even someone as powerful as him felt the need to be cautious about the potential dangers beyond the Dou Qi Continent.

"Stay close to me and do not separate when we enter the passage."

Xiao Ming took a deep breath after giving these final instructions. Without further ado, he transformed into a streak of white light and shot towards the dark passage with lightning-like speed. 

Xiao Xuan, Zhu Kun, and the Pill Emperor gritted their teeth and followed closely behind.

Numerous pairs of eyes watched as these streaks of light crossed the sky like shooting stars. Some people seemed to understand the intentions of Xiao Ming and his companions and began to kneel in unison across the continent.

"Safe journey, Heavenly Emperor!"

"Farewell, Alliance Leader!"

These grand, resounding voices rose from the entire Dou Qi Continent, merging into a mighty chorus that reached into the sky and lingered in the world for a long time.

"Sigh, little guy, the world outside is full of wonders. But I believe you can carve out your own path there. After all, you achieved what no one in ten thousand years on the Dou Qi Continent could…" Elder Huo, who had recently advanced to the Dou Saint realm, mused softly as he watched their departing figures.

...

The Great Thousand World was a vast and boundless upper plane. Countless clans and races interacted there, interconnected by numerous worlds.

This upper plane resided over countless lower planes, and to travel from one of these lower planes to the Great Thousand World, it was inevitable to pass through several other planes…

In the endless chaos, several streaks of light flashed by. They crossed several stars representing different planes without stopping, seemingly in search of something.

Leading these streaks of light was Xiao Ming, who had left the Dou Qi Continent some time ago.

The rest of the group was naturally composed of Zhu Kun and the others.

"Xiao Ming, I didn't expect there to be so many planes out here, but sadly, none of them are what we are looking for. From what I can sense, most of these planes are even weaker than our Dou Qi Continent," Zhu Kun said as he caught up with Xiao Ming.

But before the latter could respond, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on Zhu Kun's face.

"Eh! There seems to be a plane up ahead that's quite similar to our Dou Qi Continent."

Xiao Ming looked in the direction indicated by Zhu Kun and indeed noticed a plane with relatively strong energy fluctuations.

"This plane isn't bad, but it has nothing to do with us... Wait, the one in front of us is...!"

As they passed by this plane, Xiao Ming suddenly noticed a massive silver torrent sweeping towards them!

"That's a spatial turbulence! Dodge quickly!"

Xiao Xuan's expression turned grave.

"It's too late! This spatial turbulence is many times larger than any we've encountered before!"

Amid their shouts, Xiao Ming, who was leading the group, was unable to dodge in time and was apparently swept right into it.

Zhu Kun hastily transformed back into his true form, using his massive Ancient Void Dragon body to shield Xiao Xuan and the Pill Emperor. Then, they too were engulfed by the massive silver torrent...

...

In the East Xuan Region of the Tian Xuan Continent, inside the Sky Hall of the Dao Sect.

The current Elder Senior Sister of the Sky Hall was diligently cultivating in a secluded chamber, preparing for the upcoming Great Sect Competition.

This competition was a significant event in the East Xuan Region. However, it had become somewhat burdensome for the Dao Sect in recent years...

There were eight super sects in the East Xuan Region and the Yuan Gate, led by three Sect Leaders who had reached the Samsara Stage, was the most prominent among them.

The Dao Sect she belonged to was one of these Eight Super Sects. It was divided into four halls, with one particular hall known as the Desolate Hall. In every generation, the young talent who inherited the Scripture of the Desolate Hall had the potential to dominate the younger generation of the East Xuan Region.

Throughout the entire history of the Great Sect Competition, there had been constant conflicts and deep-seated grudges between the Dao Sect and the Yuan Gate.

In recent times, however, no one had inherited the so-called Scripture of the Desolate Hall. This caused the Dao Sect to be disadvantaged when they clashed with the Yuan Gate, resulting in many casualties.

After concluding her cultivation session, the Elder Senior Sister of the Sky Hall opened her eyes and was about to stand up when she noticed a person-sized crack suddenly opening in her secluded chamber.

A figure in white robes quietly stepped out from the crack.

"The spatial turbulence is truly dangerous. It's better to hide away, or else I don't know where I might end up," the white-robed figure muttered.

'Strong!' was the first thought that struck the Elder Senior Sister upon seeing someone capable of emerging from the empty space. The next moment, she opened her mouth and shouted!

"Enemy attack!"

Her sharp voice echoed throughout the chamber, but the white-robed man did not bother to move.

After a moment, the expression on the Elder Senior Sister's face turned extremely ugly. The fact that neither the Hall Master nor the Sect Leader had responded to her warning in such a crucial area of the Sky Hall spoke volumes.

The white-robed man smiled in approval as he noticed the young woman's silence.

"It seems you're not foolish. The space here was sealed by me when I broke into this plane. No one would come even if you screamed your lungs out."

The white-robed man was Xiao Ming, who had been swept into the spatial turbulence. The turbulence didn't harm him, but to avoid being carried too far away, he took the opportunity to enter a nearby plane.

"Breaking into a plane?"

The Elder Senior Sister was somewhat unable to comprehend and asked with a vigilant look on her face.

"Who are you, and why have you infiltrated our Dao Sect? Are you from the Yuan Gate? I'll have you know, even if you hold me hostage, our Dao Sect won't concede defeat in the Great Sect Competition in three days!"

"I have no interest in taking you hostage."

Xiao Ming chuckled. He had sealed the space solely to prevent the spatial turbulence from causing unnecessary casualties when he arrived. However, he did recognize some familiar names from the young lady's words.

"Yuan Gate, Dao Sect. Is this the Tian Xuan Continent?"
