Next, Qin Chen learned many details about the development of the Dust Pavilion and became aware that the influence of the Dust Pavilion had already expanded to multiple celestial domains near Wen Hantian. With the support of abundant resources, the Guanghan Palace Master and the Yaoguang Saint Master also broke through to the mid-peak Saint Master realm.
Moreover, Zhang Ying, Lin Tian, Zhao Lingshan, Princess Zixun, and Lao Yuan all saw considerable improvement in their cultivation, reaching the half-step Saint Master stage. They were just a step away from the Saint Master realm, though it remained unknown when they would break through.
As for Ao Qingling, Ao Lie, Qin Tingting, Tian Xing Zhenren, and the ancient elders, they had all entered the Saint Master realm.
However, the big black cat, elusive as ever, reportedly disappeared after Qin Chen left, and there had been no news of its whereabouts over the years.
Qin Chen had no words for this, but he knew that the big black cat was very mysterious and clever, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Knowing the development of the Dust Pavilion, Qin Chen felt quite gratified. Although the top combat strength hadn't seen much improvement, the overall development was rapid. Considering they didn't have him by their side for support, such a cultivation speed would be considered extraordinary no matter which top force in the heavenly realm they were placed in.
Qin Chen hadn't planned to stay in Dongguang City for long, and concerned about the Dust Pavilion, he prepared to set out the next day.
That night, the Sleeping Immortal came to visit, conveying the concern of the Dongguang City Lord and offering all the resources of Vice City Lord Luo Sha's merchant association.
Qin Chen naturally understood the Dongguang City Lord's intentions. Such benefits should not be refused, especially since he indeed had no intention of falling out with the Dongguang City Lord or occupying Dongguang City.
That night, Qin Chen entertained everyone. After the rounds of drinks and dishes, the Tian Wu Dan Shop was bustling.
Suddenly, while drinking, Qin Chen sensed something and abruptly looked up.
Boom! In the sky above the Eastern Heavens, a heart-palpitating aura suddenly surged, causing the sky to tremble as if a massive earthquake had occurred, making the entire sky of the Eastern Heavens shake.
Everyone stood up abruptly, looking at the sky of the Eastern Heavens in confusion. Above, the heavenly law trembled, swaying like water waves.
"This is... the heavenly law of the Eastern Heavens is being suppressed, reaching some kind of limit."
Chaos Poison Venerable said in a deep voice, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"The heavenly law is being suppressed, it's resisting, expressing protest."
Ji Wuxue also said in disbelief.
Qin Chen inhaled sharply. He had absorbed the origin of the Tianwu Continent to break through, and since it shared the same origin as the heavenly realm, he could feel that the heavenly aura above the Eastern Heavens was filled with anger, seemingly warning.
"Is this... a top expert entering the Eastern Heavens?"
Qin Chen and the others exchanged a shocked glance.
Chaos Poison Venerable said in a deep voice, "Master, as far as I know, the four major heavens haven't been repaired for very long. After being repaired by the Supreme Xiao Yao back then, they've been slowly recovering. But because the heavenly realm was severely damaged, even after so many years, the four major heavens are still very weak. If someone too powerful enters, it will suppress the heavenly law, causing it to tremble. In the worst case, it could even cause the four major heavens to shatter again."
"Qin Chen, Chaos Poison Venerable is right. According to what I've learned from my family, the current four major heavens can only withstand up to the peak of Human Venerable. Once it surpasses Human Venerable, it would exert extreme pressure on the four major heavens. Therefore, among the top forces in the heavenly realm, it's strictly forbidden for experts beyond the Human Venerable level to enter the Eastern Heavens."
