My ordinary path to immortality shouldn't end here.

Chapter 209 Like a shadow, always there, like a ghost.
Gong Qinghuang never saw Bai Chijing, but the more she did, the more panicked she became, because Bai Chijing was clearly omnipresent in her senses.

The scenery of Baichi is like nothingness, constantly evolving from reality to nothingness, and then from nothingness back to reality.

Therefore, even in the void, in those time gaps, Gong Qinghuang saw Bai Chijing's figure, which seemed like a fleeting glimpse.

Even someone as close to the Dao as her couldn't help but feel endless terror at these scenes.

Therefore, Gong Qinghuang hardened her heart and attacked with all her might.

This attack was astonishing, because the void in front of them vanished into thin air, yet from beginning to end, no unusual phenomena or movements occurred.

It was as if that void simply vanished naturally.

Light and darkness stand still, time seems to evaporate, and this concept completely ceases to exist here.

Without a doubt, this was an extremely terrifying blow.

Although no celestial killing power was seen pouring down, its might was no less than that of the celestial killing power, and even slightly surpassed it. It was conceivable that this attack was truly Gong Qinghuang's all-out strike.

However, despite the terrifying power of her attack, Gong Qinghuang's stunningly beautiful face did not show the slightest hint of joy.

Because that eerie, ever-present feeling still lingers.

This shows that her powerful attack did not cause any injury or even the slightest trouble to the opponent.

This caused Gong Qinghuang's emotions to become somewhat unstable.

At this moment, she was like a living person facing a vengeful ghost, appearing utterly powerless.

However, Gong Qinghuang was ultimately a near-Dao Celestial Venerable. Although her near-Dao heart had long been tainted by the mortal world, for some reason, she forcibly suppressed it using an extremely subtle method.

Then, Gong Qinghuang, having calmed down, said in a cold tone: "Primordial Heavenly Venerable, the laws of heaven and the principles of morality dictate that murder must be punished with one's life. If you kill me today, you will not escape severe punishment in the future."

This is a statement that sounds like a joke.

After all, the realm of approaching the Dao transcends the established norms.

When Gong Qinghuang uttered those words, it was not because she spoke recklessly. Rather, in that instant, she used the response of the heavenly principles triggered by those words to escape directly into the vast void, to a place beyond the reach of the White Pool Realm.

And so, in this void, a figure finally appeared.

It was a very blurry figure.

It was only barely possible to tell that it was a man. As for his appearance and age, it was completely impossible to determine.

"The words establish the principles of Heaven, and the truth is revealed beyond the heavens. What a wondrous journey through the celestial realms!" This figure spoke, directly revealing the method Gong Qinghuang used to escape.

This method can be said to have brought the ability to travel between heaven and earth to its absolute limit.

There could be no more mysterious and wondrous method of immortal travel in this world.

However, even so, it was still difficult to escape the range that he could sense!
The previously hazy figure began to reveal itself, and when this figure became about 70% similar to Bai Chijing, it instantly locked onto the direction Gong Qinghuang had left in, and after traversing countless voids and time gaps, it appeared outside of a world.

"This is..." the hazy figure uttered, and then the haze faded, revealing Bai Chijing's figure.

At this moment, Bai Chijing looked at the world before him, a hint of surprise on his face. This was a world that perfectly matched the little girl's vision of a "world without extraordinary beings." "So she wasn't just making excuses..." Bai Chijing was somewhat surprised. He had always thought the little girl was just saying it casually, but now it seemed that a truly extraordinary being had indeed created this "world without extraordinary beings." And now, this "world without extraordinary beings" was beginning its demise.

Although this world is still thriving at this moment, even without extraordinary power, the mortals in this world have shown an extremely incredible level of skill.

A special pair of shoes allows a person to take off and fly freely three or four meters above the ground. However, such shoes start charging a fee from the moment they are put on.

There are several countries in this world, and there are several ways to handle the billing for this flying shoe walking.

One option is that the country where you are located collects the fees periodically, and then refunds them all at a specific time.

The second option is for the country where the user resides to directly cover the cost. While this type of user still needs to pay each time, they only need to verify their identity each time they pay.

There is a third option, in which the person using the flying shoes bears all the costs, but the expenses incurred in walking with the flying shoes can be used to offset taxes.

This is a world where mysterious ancient costumes and cutting-edge technology are combined.

It is also the world with the strongest productivity of mortal society that Bai Chijing has seen so far.

Therefore, with the support of advanced technology, the laws and regulations of this world are extremely strict. Although people are openly divided into different classes—first class being kings and generals, second class being powerful and noble families, third class being local luminaries, fourth class being extremely wealthy families, and fifth class being ordinary people—the rule that murder must be punished with one's life is undoubtedly an ironclad law here.

Unless a local tyrant kills an ordinary citizen, the law stipulates that the killer must pay with his life, without exception.

At this moment, Bai Chijing searched carefully, but unfortunately, he couldn't find any trace of Gong Qinghuang's presence in this world. However, he didn't care too much about this.

Because Gong Qinghuang was already involved in the Great Dao Contest initiated by Bai Chijing, and through this contest, Bai Chijing successfully obtained information that Gong Qinghuang was indeed hiding in this world.

So, Bai Chijing pointed his finger, drawing some strange spiritual energy directly from Zhixuan Heaven to this world where there was no extraordinary power.

Zhi Xuantian is already very far from here.

An ordinary near-Dao Celestial Venerable might need tens of thousands of years just to travel here. Bai Chijing was able to do this because he had built his own Lingtai Heaven in Zhixuan Heaven over the years.

The combined use of the Outer Mind Realm and the Spirit Platform Heaven allows Bai Chijing to continuously send the ever-changing spiritual energy of the Mysterious Heaven into this world.

The development level of Zhixuan Heaven is undoubtedly superior to that of this world. Therefore, when the erratic spiritual energy of Zhixuan Heaven continuously pours into this world, it is directly suppressed, and the Heavenly Dao within it has no choice but to accept this erratic spiritual energy.

However, the Heavenly Dao of this world had developed self-awareness long ago, so when it discovered that it was in crisis, it directly sought help.

Then, Bai Chijing heard a seductive voice: "Celestial Venerable who has come from afar, I wonder if I can get your help? I will surely repay you handsomely!"

The voice was neither male nor female, but as it began, it had a seductive quality that lingered in one's ears, causing one to lower their guard for no reason and at the same time feel an irresistible urge to agree.

But it's also clear that this tactic was used on the wrong person.

"..."

Bai Chijing was somewhat surprised, but he refused without hesitation: "No."

After all, he was the one who brought over this strange and volatile spiritual energy, with the aim of forcing Gong Qinghuang to show herself.
