Infinite transcendence began with Covering the Sky.

Chapter 49 Unable to Believe
The crack, shimmering with golden light, flashed by, its unique aura startling the many cultivators who hadn't even had time to react, their faces filled with horror.

"Damn it! The legend of Xishan is actually true! We missed it by accident!"

Many cultivators had not noticed anything unusual before, but now, watching the rapidly disappearing crack, they felt they had missed the greatest opportunity of their lives.

Even if they missed it, some people were unwilling to give up and began to look for ways to open the West Mountain, which led many others to follow suit.

"He just left like that?" The cultivator, clutching his severed arm, looked grave. He watched Qi Zhe disappear before his eyes. If he hadn't been too late to act, he would have rushed into the rift, but it was too late to say anything now.

At that moment, he felt utterly unlucky. He had attacked Nangong Xin in front of so many people, but the other party had been snatched from his grasp.

He had gained nothing so far, but he also had to face the Nangong family's reckoning in the future. No matter how he looked at it, he was doomed and felt utterly hopeless.

Meanwhile, Qi Zhe, who had been swept away by the rift, had arrived in a special space. Looking around, he saw an endless golden ocean with surging waves sweeping across the sky.

That day, the sea was towering high, and each wave surged up like a series of towering mountains suddenly rising, crashing down as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had caved in, much like a continent falling from the sky.

"Holy crap!" Qi Zhe was utterly horrified by the scene before him, feeling as if he were facing a natural disaster.

He was now in the middle of a golden ocean, with endless golden waves before him, forcing him to dive to the bottom to avoid being battered by the waves.

"How terrifying!" Qi Zhe swam in the golden seawater, thankful that he had dodged in time, while also taking in the scenery of the seabed.

Although this golden ocean resembled the scene within the Great Accomplished Holy Body's Sea of ​​Wheels, with its vast divine power transforming into seawater that swept everything, Qi Zhe, after careful observation, discovered that this place was not as he had previously guessed.

This place was not transformed from the Holy Body Sea Secret Realm. Although the ocean was deep, it had a bottom. Qi Zhe descended more than 20,000 feet and discovered an unbelievable scene at the bottom of the sea.

The seabed was a submerged landmass, stretching as far as the eye could see in the golden water. Qi Zhe landed on the land and looked into the distance, only to feel that there were underwater divine mountains blocking the golden light and the seawater.

Severely injured, Nangong Xin was being protected by Qi Zhe. Clutching his abdomen, he stared in shock at the sight at the bottom of the sea, and couldn't help but say, "That's probably the so-called Western Hill Tomb, the place where the Holy Body buried his comrades."

Qi Zhe looked down at the utterly miserable Nangong Xin, his expression strange, and said, "You're all better now? You actually have the leisure to care about these things."

Ever since Qi Zhe abducted this kid and brought him into this space, he had noticed that the other party had been secretly healing his injuries, and he was secretly on guard against the other party suddenly attacking.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Xin's expression changed, and he suddenly said weakly, "Fellow Daoist risked his life to save me, I am willing to use my remaining body to pave the way for you and explore the Great Tomb of the Western Mountains."

"Don't try that with me!" Qi Zhe rolled his eyes at this, then grabbed the other man's shoulder and tightened his grip, threatening, "If you want to repay me, then hand over the Heavenly Star Fruit. We can explore the Western Mountain Tomb later!"

Qi Zhe's meaning was already obvious, and Nangong Xin, who had expected it, was not surprised. After a moment's thought, he smiled bitterly and said, "Alas, it's all just material possessions after all."

At this point, Nangong Xin had no choice but to accept his fate. He had just gone through a fierce battle, and his initial thought of mutual destruction had vanished after being ambushed by someone close to him. Now, all he wanted was to get out of here alive and avenge the stab he had been stabbed in the back.

"The precious medicine is in this jar." Nangong Xin was not a cultivator. Although he had gained extraordinary combat power with the help of Origin Technique, he still needed tools to preserve items. At this moment, he took out a jar from somewhere and handed it over. It was a jade jar that had been refined. Inside, there was a special space created by strange Dao patterns, and a precious medicine was growing there.

After taking the jar and inspecting it briefly, Qi Zhe couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the well-grown Star Fruit. "Not bad, a wise man knows when to yield. You have a bright future!"

Qi Zhe then put the jade jar into the Bitter Sea and began to look at the scenery at the bottom of the sea, preparing to explore the area.

Nangong Xin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Qi Zhe had accepted the precious medicine but hadn't killed him. He immediately took out a jade bottle to recover from his injuries at the bottom of the sea.

The two were currently submerged at the bottom of the sea. If Qi Zhe hadn't erected a light curtain resembling blue waves, the boy wouldn't have been able to recover from his injuries at all.

Qi Zhe saw him pour out a vermilion pill from the jade bottle and suddenly said inexplicably, "Your abdomen was pierced and your sea of ​​consciousness was shattered. I think even if you are healed, you will be crippled."

Every cultivator must cultivate the five secret realms, and the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm, as the place where life originates, will have various hidden dangers even if it is restored to its original state once it is shattered, making it a half-crippled person.

As far as Qi Zhe knew, there was a similar case on the ancient star Ziwei beyond the Big Dipper. When the master of the Ziwei Human King Palace was young, he was ambushed and his Sea of ​​Wheels was shattered, and his Sendai was also broken. The Human King Palace spent countless rare and precious materials to heal him.

Even so, it couldn't completely save him. Even though the Lord of the Human King Palace later achieved great cultivation, he would lose his power every now and then, and he was stopped before reaching the Saint realm, despite his potential for great achievements.

Nangong Xin was taken aback upon hearing this, then turned to Qi Zhe and said, "I haven't cultivated any secret realms. Even if my Sea of ​​Wheels is destroyed, it won't affect my use of Origin Techniques. As long as I can survive, that's enough."

The unique nature of Origin Technique is well-known. Cultivating it does not significantly increase lifespan, and one does not even need to set foot in the Five Great Secret Realms. Within a few decades, one can gain extraordinary combat power, even capable of killing without leaving a trace.

Qi Zhe chuckled inwardly upon hearing this, then feigned curiosity and asked, "Is Origin Technique really that amazing? Why don't you tell me about it so I can broaden my horizons?"

Qi Zhe's ambition for the Origin Technique made Nangong Xin suddenly realize something. Seeing the other party's embarrassed expression, he said, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate. Family traditions cannot be passed on to outsiders. Please don't make things difficult for me."

His expression was one of embarrassment, and he had gained a deeper understanding of Qi Zhe's greed. Others might at most covet his precious medicines, but this guy was also after the inherited source technique in his mind.

"Hey, what are you saying? If you don't say anything and I don't say anything, who will know that you taught me the Origin Technique, right?" Qi Zhe's face was full of fake smiles, which made Nangong Xin's eyebrows twitch.

"How shameless!" Nangong Xin cursed inwardly, then tried to evade Qi Zhe, refusing to reveal the source technique no matter what.

After a moment, Qi Zhe also became somewhat impatient. He raised his hand and placed it on the other person's shoulder again, saying in a low voice, "I advise you not to refuse a toast only to suffer a forfeit. You should know that if you pass on the Origin Technique to me today, you will gain this good fortune and be able to save your life in the future!"

"Besides, since you cultivate Origin Arts, you must know that there is an Origin Heavenly Book in this world, right? I happen to know its whereabouts. If you tell me what you study, perhaps I can have a look at the Origin Heavenly Book!"

Qi Zhe's big stick was indeed frightening, and his dates were quite tempting. Nangong Xin was horrified and couldn't help but ask, "The Source Book?"

Qi Zhe smiled broadly, making the skeptical Nangong Xin look troubled. He could only say, "Although I, Nangong Xin, don't believe it, I have no choice but to believe it now!"
