After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 466 Upgrade Permissions

Limitless Sacred Realm!

Shen Xu was once again kicked out of the crystal without any mercy, just like a dead dog.

Although he didn't know exactly how many times he had died inside the crystal, it must have been an extremely terrifying number.

He hasn't died without gaining anything; at least he can now freely enter the rift state.

And before that deadly lightning truly strikes, transform "awareness" and "stagnation" into an instinct ingrained in one's very bones.

He still couldn't completely avoid the silver snake's attacks, and each time the outcome was death.

But escaping from that number of attacks is simply not a task he can accomplish right now.

Staring blankly at the streaks of starlight in the sky, he often wondered if he would be trapped here forever, and his soul would become a part of this place.

Suddenly, a streak of light appeared in the sky, immediately catching his attention.

He'd been here for so long, and this was the first time he'd seen light trails light up outside of his own location.

Moreover, the light trail seemed to lead to a place even deeper than the crystal, and he unconsciously sat up and looked in the direction the light trail extended.

A giant sword, seemingly hanging upside down and piercing the heavens and earth, slowly emerged from the void, its tip pointing towards a phantom of a world that was constantly being created and destroyed.

"Overwhelmingly domineering!" Shen Xu exclaimed.

The Nine-Turn Dragon Body can travel through the gaps of time, and he couldn't help but wonder what kind of power the supernatural abilities within the giant sword would possess.

But he could finally ask the others what he needed to do to get out of there.

After some time, a figure shrouded in mist slowly appeared on the bridge of light in the distance.

Shen Xu immediately waved to him, and the man was clearly startled for a moment when he saw Shen Xu, before continuing to walk along the path of light.

"Brother, do you know how to get out?" Shen Xu shouted at the man.

Upon hearing Shen Xu's voice, the man seemed to pause for a moment, then pointed to the path of light behind him before gradually disappearing from Shen Xu's sight.

"Hiss... No way!" Shen Xu scratched his head.

"Practice is the only way to verify the truth!"

"Little White, let's go!" Shen Xu waved to the silver snake swimming beside him.

The silver snake, slightly excited, coiled around his arm and stretched its head to look behind it, as if saying goodbye to the crystal.

"Damn it! You know how to get out, don't you?!" Shen Xu grabbed the silver snake's head and questioned it.

The silver snake's head transformed into strands of silver threads, and a moment later, a brand new snake head appeared in his palm.

He took a deep breath. "Don't be angry, don't be angry. Why should I argue with a stupid snake?"

He then ignored the silver snake and walked back the way he came along the path of light.

Shen Xu's figure gradually disappeared from the spot.

After he left, the light trail behind him shattered into tiny specks of light and disappeared into the void.

The crystal slowly spun and disappeared into nothingness.

The same feeling, as if he had taken a few steps, yet also as if he had walked for a very long time, brought him back to the starry sky at the summit.

On the illusory platform beneath the star, a black crystal reappeared.

"Oh? I've upgraded."

Shen Xu reached out and touched the black crystal, which immediately turned into a black liquid and entered his soul, before reforming into a black crystal.

Although it was also repelled to a corner by that divine essence, the black key was clearly closer to the center than the white key.

Moreover, the black key seems to have some additional functions compared to the white key.

With a mere thought, he arrived at the pure white space where he had first come from.

As soon as he activated his Spirit Eyes, Jiao Jiao's tearful voice immediately rang in his mind, "Shen Xu, it's so good that you're not dead. Do you know how worried I was about you?"

These days, the blood connection between you and me has been broken and reconnected repeatedly.

But I can't help you; all I can do is pray for you. Am I so useless?

"How could that be! I'm perfectly fine," Shen Xu reassured him with a smile.

"When are you coming back? I miss you," Jiaojiao asked, her voice choked with emotion.

"I still don't know where my body is, or how much time has passed in the outside world?"

"It's been almost half a year..."

"Six months. When does the Hundred Flowers Festival start? I hope I haven't missed it." Shen Xu frowned.

Has anything major happened at the Four Directions Sword Alliance?

“I have been waiting for you in the temple the whole time, and I have never left.”

"Jiaojiao, go to Hundred Flowers City within the territory of the Crimson Origin Sect and wait for me. If nothing unexpected happens, I should go there after I leave."

"Okay! Should we tell Bailu and the others that you're alright?"

"No need. I think it's time for me to leave the Four Directions Sword Alliance. Let them pretend I've disappeared while I'm at it!"

When you leave, remember not to let them notice anything amiss.

"Are you really leaving? Isn't the Four Directions Sword Alliance good enough? Xiao Yi and Bai Lu are all swaying around you..."

"That's why I have to leave. Otherwise, how am I supposed to clean up this mess? None of them are simple characters."

"Whose fault is this? If you had been more determined from the beginning, things wouldn't have turned out this way."

"You're interfering too much. I don't like any of them."

"Okay!" Jiaojiao couldn't help but feel a little wronged.

"By the way, what was the part you didn't finish saying before? About the silver snake I told you about."

"Oh! That silver serpent is a lightning spirit born in a void storm. It has the ability to traverse space by nature and is incredibly fast. It's a miracle that you survived it."

"any left?"

"By the way, I heard from a senior that those thunder spirits can split and devour souls, which is somewhat similar to you spirit devourers."

Shen Xu felt somewhat helpless, since everything he said was something he already knew.

"Shen Xu, what exactly happened to you during this time? Why are you sometimes dead and sometimes alive?" Jiao Jiao asked curiously.

"Do you know about the Wuji Sect? I've entered its sacred realm."

"I think I recognize this name from my inherited memories. Wait while I ask some of the elders. Don't run around aimlessly this time!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you here."

Jiaojiao returned quickly this time. "Shen Xu, have you cultivated a very dangerous supernatural power?"

"Tell the important point!"

"Tch, all he does is yell at people."

Several seniors said that Wuji Sect was a mad sect walking on the edge of destruction, with very few disciples.

Their legacy permeates the void, but only the "monsters" who crawl out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood are qualified to touch the true legacy.

Shen Xu, you've probably been chosen as the inheritor of one of the Wuji Sect's supernatural powers.

The Wuji Sect is not a conventional sect; their disciples are unaware of each other's identities.

However, those who successfully inherit the Wuji Sect's supernatural powers are all giants in their own right. They are hidden in every corner of the void and represent an immense force.

Moreover, even among the disciples of the Wuji Sect who became inheritors, the mortality rate was extremely high.

No wonder Shen Xu, you keep dying and coming back to life; it turns out you're receiving the inheritance of the Wuji Sect.

I don't know whether to say you're lucky or unlucky.

"Wuji Gate..."

Ling Hai and Silver Serpent should also be related to this Wuji Sect, and it's even possible that Ling Hai is a disciple of the Wuji Sect.

"Remember to go to Hundred Flowers City, it's best to go find Qingyun first."

"Okay! You be careful too."

"Ok!"

Activating the black key within his soul, Shen Xu's body instantly vanished into this void.
