I'll Quit Being a God

Chapter 236: Cloud Sea Sky Palace

Chapter 236: Cloud Sea Sky Palace

Above the vast sea of clouds, a huge and heavy Heaven Door towered in the clouds.

Even with Lu Heng's Thunderbolt attack, the heavy Heaven Door could only be forced to have a small gap, but now there is finally hope of opening it completely.

Lu Heng, dressed in white, laughed heartily and flew directly towards the huge Heaven Door ahead.

The saying goes, "If it was easy, everyone would do it". Often times, the world is just like this.

For Lu Heng, who had previously been unable to enter through the gigantic and heavy Heaven Door, it was extremely difficult to move even a single bit of it.

However, in front of Lu Heng, who had deduced the Tao Scripture and had long seen the end of the road, this heaven door was nothing more than a thin piece of paper that could be easily opened with a gentle touch.

He flew to the heaven door, without any dazzling divine light or earth-shattering momentum. He simply reached out and touched the huge heaven door, and heard a heavy rumbling sound. The huge heaven door towering in the clouds slowly opened to both sides.

The blazing white thunder flashed inside the heaven door.

The cold yin-type wind blew in his face.

Lu Heng stood amidst the gust of wind and thunder, his spirit motionless, but his expression was slightly stunned.

The scene after the gate of heaven, however, was somewhat different from what he had anticipated…

The hazy white mist transforms into a vast sea of clouds, pervading the world beyond the Heaven Door.

Amidst the misty clouds of the Cloud Sea, one can faintly discern the vague shadows of pavilions and palaces, including the divine Cloud Sea Sky Palace after the Heaven Door.

Witnessing such a scene, even Lu Heng, who had already given up on his cultivation path, couldn't help feeling stunned.

This scene was different from what he had imagined!

After the opening of the Heaven Door, cultivators enter the next realm and begin to condense the five energies in their chest, and various magical abilities begin to appear. At the same time, the demon tribe begins to take shape, and the human cultivators only start to increase their lifespan in this realm.

In theory, the world beyond the Heaven Door should lead to a barren and chaotic sea of qi. Cultivators must sort out the five energies in their chest, calm this sea of qi, and condense it into one entity in order to cultivate in the Three Hua Lights again.

After Lu Heng's heavenly door opened, what appeared before his eyes was not desolation or his five vital energies in his chest, but a Cloud Sea Sky Palace?!

What about the five vital energies in the chest?

Even though the Heavenly Thunder Tao Foundation defies logic, the scene beyond the heavenly door is too bizarre, isn't it?

Even if his chest is not filled with his five vital energies, Lu Heng would have accepted it if it were just filled with brilliant lightning.

However, does this mysterious and peculiar Cloud Sea Sky Palace truly lead to heaven after passing through the heavenly door?

After the heavenly door, Lu Heng's eyes were strange.

Originally, he should have stepped into the "heaven door" and began to condense the five energies in his chest.

However, the current scene before him made it difficult for him to easily move - he couldn't even sense the five energies in his chest. Where could he go to condense them?

The Heavenly Thunder Tao Foundation was truly out of the ordinary. Even Lu Heng couldn't make sense of the current situation before him.

Yet, his broadened horizons allowed him to gradually discover some clues.

This Heavenly Palace within the clouds seemed to be somewhere between reality and illusion, not an actual existing Heavenly Palace.

More like an incredibly real texture mapping?

Realizing this, Lu Heng hesitated for a moment, then stepped into the heavenly gate.

The hazy sea of clouds quickly engulfed Lu Heng.

Yet in that instant when the clouds engulfed him, a clarity dawned upon Lu Heng's mind, regarding the mysterious sea of clouds behind the heavenly gate.

His expression gradually became calm.

It's not too unusual after all.

Although there is no five energies in the Cloud Sea Sky Palace, the foundation of cultivation is the same.

The ordinary cultivator's cultivation is to condense the five energies in the chest, stabilize the chaotic sea of qi behind the heavenly gate, and give birth to the triple brilliance from their own sea of qi.

Lu Heng's cultivation, on the other hand, is to bring in the heavenly thunder and the spiritual energy into his body, dissipating the hazy mist, gradually revealing the Cloud Sea Sky Palace, which lies between reality and illusion.

Although it is much more difficult than condensing the five energies in the chest, it is essentially the same principle, isn't it?

Other people condensed the five energies in his chest, while I dispelled the mist in the Heavenly Palace. We are cultivating the same thing and both have bright futures, cough cough.

However, after the fog in this Cloud Sea Sky Palace is dispelled, these false images lying between reality and illusion will completely solidify and create a real Cloud Sea Sky Palace… will something go wrong?

Lu Heng was somewhat uncertain and surprised.

Such a strange situation, not to mention himself, even if the owner of the Starry Sea who gave Lu Heng the Eight Trigrams Diagram came to see, he would be bewildered.

After all, Lu Heng's condition can really be considered the first of its kind in history…

In the mist, Lu Heng hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly, accepting the reality.

At this point, he couldn't possibly stop cultivating… his cultivation using Heavenly Thunder was already different from ordinary people.

Nowadays, it's not too surprising that the scene after the sky door is different from ordinary people… isn't it?

Shaking off his complicated thoughts, Lu Heng let out a long sigh and began to cultivate.

However, before cultivation, there is one more thing to do…

In the underground divine palace, Lu Heng in white slowly opened his eyes and looked at the huge white wolf in front of him.

The body of the white wolf was like a legendary ancient beast. Even if it just lay there quietly, it still had a fierce aura that made people not dare to offend it.

This white wolf's body was Lu Heng's flesh in this world.

However, it was ultimately not the true physical body of his soul…

As he stepped into the gates of heaven, Lu Heng truly realized the biggest challenge of opening the gates.

Although there were reasons for the unclear future ahead, the deeper reason was that his soul and physical body were not tightly fused together.

After all, it was the spirit of a time traveler, always somewhat distant from the physical body.

And now, in order for Lu Heng to continue his cultivation, he must first eliminate this hidden danger.

The first solution is to let the physical body and soul fuse completely and condense, and continue cultivating in the identity of a wolf demon.

The second solution is to take the lead of the human soul and completely refine the spirit. But this way, you can only walk the world in the form of the spirit and can never take physical form.

Inside the divine palace, Lu Heng sighed as he looked at the white wolf demon in front of him, with a complex mind.

These two plans each have their advantages, but ultimately, he chose the second method of cultivation.

Even though the first option was the safest and fastest for him, with the solidification of his physical body and primordial spirit complementing each other, the speed of his cultivation was far superior to that of just cultivating the primordial spirit alone.

Moreover, by choosing the first option, Lu Heng could transform into a human form and no longer needed to travel in his demonic form.

However, the benefits of the second option were even greater.

By cultivating the primordial spirit, he would forever maintain the purity of a human primordial spirit, without worrying about conflicts with his demonic body.

Although the speed of cultivation focused on the primordial spirit was slow and he could never transform into a demonic body, only able to walk the world with a wolf demon body, but this wolf body was no longer a hindrance to his primordial spirit.

He could even use the purest method of refining the body to forge this wolf carcass into an extremely powerful demonic body.

After reaching advanced levels of cultivation, the demonic body and the primordial spirit could even exist independently from each other.

Even if Lu Heng's primordial spirit were to be destroyed, he could be reborn within the demonic body… If the demonic body were to be destroyed, the primordial spirit could also re-forge the demonic body.

If Lu Heng were to hide the demonic body, he wouldn't need to fear being killed by powerful enemies, even if his primordial spirit roamed the world.

Compared to the convenience of the first plan, the various benefits of the second plan were truly irresistible.

Even though the cultivation difficulty of the second plan was much higher, Lu Heng still resolutely chose the second plan.

The world of cultivation is filled with countless dangers, and unexpected incidents can happen at any time. Without any life-saving tricks up one's sleeve, one may survive unscathed if lucky, but any mishap can result in a fatal catastrophe.

Although the primordial spirit is not a true physical body, once cultivated to a certain realm, it can act independently, with little difference from the physical body.

In any case, whatever actions the physical body can undertake, the primordial spirit can also accomplish.

Having glimpsed the transcendental realm through the Eight Trigrams Diagram in his hand, Lu Heng's understanding of this world deepened.

He became even more reverential towards this world.

The God Slaying Heavenly Thunder and the Heavenly Thunder Sword, though formidable, may still have opponents worthy of their mettle…

Although he has not yet encountered enemies of that level, what about in the future?

Lu Heng must always be alert and plan ahead for a safe retreat.

Anyway, in the future, hide the demon body and let the spirit descend the mountain to walk. In the eyes of outsiders who are unaware of the true situation, they will only think that Lu Heng has transformed.

It didn't prevent him from traveling around and visiting beautiful scenic spots.
