Chapter 1045: Reaching the Bottom of the Cliff
Qingfeng Li smiled slightly, leading everybody in their climb down. Since they had killed the Dark-Hell Snake King, the trip down the cliff became quite smooth.
Three hours later, Qingfeng Li and the rest reached the bottom of the cliff. It was a broad and endless space, with a dim shadow in front of them, full of a furious turbulence.
It was extremely unstable under the Sky Breaking Cliff. Space became weak and chaotic here with numerous dimensional cracks appearing.
These rifts were powerful, with space fissures inside. Once sucked into them, any humans or beasts would immediately be torn apart by the strong forces, with flesh and spirit turning into nonentity and leaving nothing left.
Qingfeng Li led Wind-Edge Demon King, Flower Fairy, and the rest to carefully walk forward, trying to avoid those rifts.
...
Meanwhile, a mid-aged man in black showed up on the Sky Breaking Cliff. This man had a dark face, with the aura of a corpse around him.
Seeing all the corpses lying on the cliff, a touch of cruelty shined in the eyes of this mid-aged man. He forcefully waved his right hand, and a giant corpse golem was formed. It then swallowed in all the blood and flesh of these corpses, converting it all into energy.
The only thing left on the Sky Breaking Cliff then were only hundreds of bare skeletons, looking extremely terrifying. This man in black was a big shot. He was Wuxie Shi, a powerful master in the late-stage of the Heavenly Realm and the Guardian of the Sky Corpse Sect.
"Conqueror, I’m here to kill you," Wuxie Shi said with a smirk and jumped off the Sky Breaking Cliff.
Shortly after Wuxie Shi jumped off, another ghastly elder in black arrived.
This elder had a pallid face and surly eyes, looking like a zombie. He reached out his right hand and summoned a white skull, absorbing all the skeletons. All those bones turned into ashes and vanished away.
This elder was no ordinary man. His name was Ying Gu, the Senior Elder of the White Bone Sect, with the ability to convert skeletons into his own power.
Those that died on the Sky Breaking Cliff were pitiful, with their blood and flesh consumed by Wuxie Shi and bones by Ying Gu.
"Conqueror, you shall not leave," Ying Gu looked down the cliff, and jumped off, too.
Wuxie Shi and Ying Gu both came from heaven-tier self-cultivation sects, which were more powerful than the earth-tier sects. They held enmity towards the Conqueror and had came here to kill him.
At the bottom of Sky Breaking Cliff, Qingfeng Li, Wind-Edge Demon King, Flower Fairy, Xianzhi Qin, and the rest were pacing cautiously forward.
The bottom of this cliff was a separated space, with dimension fragments all around. Daoist carelessly dropped his sword into the crack of this dimension, and it turned into a nonentity at once.
"This is where the dimension intersects. Leave right now," a hoarse voice suddenly came from the sky.
Qingfeng Li glanced around but didn’t find the one talking; neither did Wind-Edge Demon King.
"You can’t see me. I’m the Dimension Guardian here," the voice rose again.
Qingfeng Li’s face turned dark; he said, "I’m looking for my father, the Conqueror, Third Master Li."
"The Conqueror, Third Master Li?"
That voice halted with surprise. It didn’t expect the young man to be the son of the Conqueror.
"Black Puppy, why are you with him?" the voice eventually ignored Qingfeng and asked Black Puppy.
Black Puppy clearly had a powerful backing; not only was the demonic beasts in Kunlun knew him, but the Dimension Guardian here also knew him.
"Dimension Guardian, Qingfeng Li is the destined person, recognized by Heavenly Dao with the potential of becoming the future Celestial Emperor," Black Puppy said to Dimension Guardian telepathically.
Though Black Puppy was always fiddling around, even sometimes calling himself ’Grand Daddy Dog’ superciliously, he was actually quite clever. He noticed Qingfeng Li’s potential long ago which was why he followed Qingfeng for so long.
After hearing Black Puppy’s words, the guardian became quiet. There were numerous dimensions in this universe, and there was one guardian between every two dimensions.
This elder under Sky Breaking Cliff was the Dimension Guardian between Earth and the North Barren Planet. He certainly knew what a destined person meant. These people were all chosen by Dao, with bloodlines of certain ancient Heavenly Dao contained inside their bodies.
The turbulence above the dimension fragments kept gathering, shaping an illusion of an elderly. His eyes were profound, with two eyeballs that were as if turning like planets, containing special power.
The elder gazed at Qingfeng Li quietly, seeing planets rotating, sun and moon reversing and time backflowing. He seemed to have the ability to observe the past, the present and the future.
But with his eyes, he could only see chaos in Qingfeng Li’s past, present, and future, with everything being dim and blurry.
"Em, nothing?" The elder was shocked.
As the Dimension Guardian, the elder knew everything about every self-cultivator on both Earth and the North Barren Planet, including their past, present, and future.
Taking Daoist as an example, after a simple glance, the elder saw through his entire life. Daoist was an orphan and was left in a basket at the feet of Wu Dang Mountain; now, he became a brother of Qingfeng Li and in a few years, he would become a master in the Spirit King Realm.
All secrets about self-cultivators on Earth and North Barren Planet were apparent to him, but he could see nothing about Qingfeng Li.
Blinding the heaven!
The elder suddenly thought of these words. There must be enormous secrets concerning Qingfeng Li, either with a secret treasure or a powerful technique. He could blind the heavens, making a guardian such as him, be unable to see through him.
"Qingfeng Li, I can let you pass and see your father, but it depends on your own power whether you can save him or not," the elder said after thinking for a while.
As the Dimension Guardian, he had the duty of preventing humans from approaching the intersections of planes, which could cause a space-time disorder and lead to serious consequences.
But Qingfeng Li was the destined one. Black Puppy believed in him and the guardian also decided to give him a chance or, more accurately, to do him a favor.
"Thanks," Qingfeng Li expressed his sincere gratitude.
He knew that the Dimension Guardian was very powerful; without the guardian’s consent, he would never pass through.
The Dimension Guardian glanced at Qingfeng Li, then entered into a white array formation and disappeared. At the next moment, he appeared on the North Barren Planet.
The elder couldn’t see through Qingfeng Li’s secrets before. After returning to North Barren, he wanted to find the Cosmic Mirror, to try reversing time and check Qingfeng Li again.
