At this moment, Lu Daochang's heart was like turbulent waves, emotions intertwined and complex.

On one hand, he finally found the opportunity to escape from the Celestial Crossing Realm, which undoubtedly made him ecstatic; however, at the same time, he was filled with anxiety and unease about the impending arrival in the Heavenly Balance Realm.

After all, upon entering the Heavenly Balance Realm, although it was a more expansive world, it also harbored countless unknown dangers.

In this place, even a Martial Artist at the Guiyi Realm could barely protect themselves, only by ascending to the Wanxiang Realm could one truly gain a foothold.

Perhaps, the moment he set foot in the Heavenly Balance Realm, he might encounter misfortune and be mercilessly slain.

In that case, all his desires and pursuits would become nothing but dreams.

Yet, Lu Daochang did not regret it; the gleam of anticipation in his eyes had never faded, but rather grew even more dazzling.

Because for him, as long as he could reach the Heavenly Balance Realm, even if it meant sacrificing his life, he would do so without regret!

"Sect Leader, it's time to depart." Just as Lu Daochang was lost in thought, Chu Nan's voice suddenly rang out, pulling him back to reality from his tangled musings.

Lu Daochang came to his senses, smiled faintly, and softly said, "Alright, once I leave, I'll entrust the Ancestor Sect to you."

In his gaze, there was an expression of trust and expectation towards Chu Nan, "I believe, without a doubt, that you can lead the Ancestor Sect to new heights."

Upon hearing this, Chu Nan nodded solemnly, indicating that he would not fail in his mission. However, the True Man of Tianxuan beside him could not help but furrow his brows.

Soon, they saw Lu Daochang wave his hand, and a small boat appeared before everyone as if by magic.

Then he pushed it with his other hand, and the Suffering Crossing Ship, like a light feather, landed straight on the Sea of Suffering.

The Sea of Suffering is hard for birds to cross, words fall silent upon it.

A mere touch of seawater can sap away cultivation, it's the most terrifying dead zone of the Celestial Crossing Realm.

However, when the Suffering Crossing Ship landed on the surface of the Sea of Suffering, it floated steadily on it.

The small boat stood firm against the turbulent waves.

As if no matter what kind of waves crashed, they could not shake this little boat.

"Indeed, it works!" Lu Daochang felt joy at heart, although he knew the outcome beforehand, seeing it with his own eyes was still indescribably exciting.

Without even another glance at Chu Nan and the True Man of Tianxuan, he directly leapt forward, attempting to jump onto the Suffering Crossing Ship and escape this place that had trapped him for a thousand years.

However, upon seeing this, Chu Nan couldn't help but furrow his brow.

Just as Lu Daochang was about to touch the Suffering Crossing Ship, a dazzling light suddenly shot towards him from afar.

The light came too quickly, even for Lu Daochang, who had already broken through to the Guiyi Realm, to react in time.

Next, Chu Nan saw the light rapidly consolidate into an insurmountable high wall, completely isolating Lu Daochang from the Suffering Crossing Ship.

The Suffering Crossing Ship was so close, yet Lu Daochang could not overcome this barrier.

His expression turned instantly to rage and urgency, angrily shouting: "Who? Who dares to stop me!" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

As his voice fell, the powerful pressure of his Guiyi Realm burst forth, clearly intending to break through the barrier with his own power and board the Suffering Crossing Ship.

However, this barrier was like an indestructible fortress, standing firm no matter how Lu Daochang struck it.

Despite using every skill he had, he still couldn't damage the barrier guarding the Suffering Crossing Ship!

Seeing this, Chu Nan's brow knitted tightly, yet his expression showed little surprise.

After all, the Suffering Crossing Ship had been under Lu Daochang's possession for a long time; it wasn't unexpected that it would be discovered now.

If the suppressive force had not completely dissipated, exposing the Suffering Crossing Ship to others would actually be irrelevant.

After all, given this mysterious and powerful energy, even if someone as strong as Emperor Qin's Ji Shen Technique himself intervened, he probably would not be Lu Daochang's match.

However, times have changed, and the current situation is altogether different.

As Martial Artists continuously broke through the Guiyi Realm, their powers grew stronger.

At this very moment, everyone was at the same realm; although differences still existed among them, those differences had been greatly diminished.

"Lu Daochang, the unparalleled Sect Leader of the Ancestor Sect, it's understandable you wish to leave the Celestial Crossing Realm, but have you asked us?"

"Some of us have waited here for a mere hundred years, some even over a thousand, and before us, countless comrades were lost to the Sea of Suffering."

"We just want to ask you, why do you get to cross the Sea of Suffering, and we must remain here, waiting to die?"

"Not allowed, we will not allow it, we cannot let you leave."

"Hand over the Suffering Crossing Ship, otherwise... die!"

More than a dozen figures emerged from all directions.

They joined forces to create an array of barriers, preventing Lu Daochang from leaving on the Suffering Crossing Ship.

These individuals managed to reach the Guiyi Realm during these chaotic times, some even reaching the second level of Guiyi.

Yet even if they entered the Guiyi Realm, they could not let Lu Daochang leave freely.

Because they knew, the suppressive force of the Celestial Crossing Realm had not completely vanquished, and Martial Artists reaching the ninth level of the Guiyi Realm would find themselves in the same predicament as before.

Therefore, they must seize the Suffering Crossing Ship.

The Suffering Crossing Ship had already recognized Lu Daochang as its master, so to claim this divine treasure, blocking Lu Daochang's departure was a must.

Upon seeing these Martial Artists, Lu Daochang's expression immediately turned furious, his voice like a thunderclap: "Lu Daochang wants to leave, and you think you can stop me?"

"If you don't want to die, clear the way!"

Boom!

Lu Daochang's body erupted with the power of the third level of the Guiyi Realm; he had lingered at the peak of the nine heavens for many years, with an immensely deep accumulation within.

So upon breaking through the Guiyi Realm, he surged forward vigorously, reaching the third level of Guiyi directly.

Chu Nan was also prepared to take action.

The True Man of Tianxuan's face was full of a mocking disdain, in his eyes, whether the third level of Guiyi or the Cloud Sea Realm, they were nothing but ants.

The battle was on the brink of erupting, Chu Nan's side would destroy these Martial Artists at the edge of the Sea of Suffering with an overwhelming and terrifying momentum.

But at this moment, several more figures rushed in from afar, like hungry tigers pouncing on prey.

Chu Nan fixed his gaze and showed a solemn expression, saying gravely, "Strong Race Martial Artists! The top ten Strong Races have become nine after the Huo family was no more."

During this period, they nurtured many Guiyi Realm Martial Artists. This time, the nine families joined forces, bringing nearly twenty Guiyi Realm fighters with them.

These Guiyi Realm Martial Artists posed a significant pressure, even for Chu Nan.

The True Man of Tianxuan sneered dismissively, treating them like mere ants, and said, "They are nothing but laughable weaklings."
