Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

Chapter 648: Traveling through the Spirit Realm!

Four to five thousand people!

They were all gathered on the tarmac. What did this signify? It meant the area was completely surrounded; not even a fly could escape, and any disturbance would be hard to miss by this crowd. There were simply too many people!

"Ah! I should have left earlier!" Qu Hanyan beat her chest and stomped her foot, exclaiming, "Before I came, my master reminded me to keep a low profile and not cause a spectacle. Now it's all ruined!"

"Let's go," Qin Heng said, his expression as usual, as if he wasn't afraid of being recognized at all.

"Leave now!?" Qu Hanyan was stunned. "You're crazy! If you go out now, you'll immediately be surrounded. Do you think you can just fly away? Aren't you afraid of getting blasted by a missile?"

Although the Beijing International Airport was primarily used for civilian purposes at this time, it lacked no military installations. In fact, its facilities were extremely comprehensive, including plenty of anti-aircraft weaponry. If anyone dared to fly directly into the sky here, they would most likely be targeted as an unidentified flying object by the airport's defense systems, and a surface-to-air missile would be fired immediately. Even for someone at the pinnacle of Innate cultivation, ordinary anti-aircraft missiles would struggle to cause harm, yet a direct conflict with the military was hardly a good thing. It wasn't what Qu Hanyan wanted either.

"No one will notice us," Qin Heng said indifferently. His demeanor was calm as he walked out of the cabin, naturally blending into the crowd and making his way to the ground.

"You!?" Qu Hanyan was speechless.

She couldn't understand what Qin Heng was thinking, for him to just walk out so boldly! Everyone on the plane had seen his face and knew he had flown out of the cabin! If even one person stood up to identify him, the four to five thousand people below would make it impossible for him to leave the airport! Did he really not fear causing an uproar and chaos?

Qu Hanyan had no choice but to follow Qin Heng out, as if resigning herself to her fate.

However, she soon found that the people around them seemed to completely ignore her and Qin Heng. No, more precisely, it was as if they couldn't see them at all! Even when someone's gaze swept over them, it passed right through, focusing on the people behind them as if the two of them were merely air—invisible!

"What's going on? A Stealth Technique?" Qu Hanyan wondered, surprised, her eyes widening as she looked at Qin Heng. Nuwa Palace possessed ancient inheritances with numerous martial Secret Techniques, so Stealth Techniques were no rarity. However, as far as she knew, even the simplest Stealth Technique, the one requiring the lowest skill, could only be performed by someone at the Saint level.

How did he do it?

And he cast it without me noticing, making both of us invisible together?

How is that possible?

Even a true Saint couldn't achieve this, could they?

"No, that's not right... it's not invisibility! This is...?" Qu Hanyan suddenly gasped. She watched in disbelief as she passed right through a person, as if they were just an illusion!

What was happening?

What kind of technique was this? It was as if she were walking in another layer of the void!

Oh my God!

Qu Hanyan was utterly shocked. It was beyond her imagination, something she couldn't understand—so astonishing that she couldn't even speak. She could only subconsciously follow Qin Heng.

Soon, Qin Heng led her out of the crowd, away from the area surrounded by those four or five thousand people. He then walked towards the airport exit.

As they turned a corner, Qu Hanyan felt something about her surroundings change. Although her perception couldn't confirm what it was, she guessed that things had returned to normal.

"What did you just do?" Qu Hanyan stared at Qin Heng incredulously. "Why did the people around us seem to turn into phantoms? What kind of technique is this?"

This was truly astonishing!

In her mind, not even the peak Saints from Nuwa Palace could achieve this!

Qin Xuantian was clearly only at the Innate level!

How could he accomplish such an inconceivable feat? It shocked her to the core!

"It's just a common method of traversing the Spirit Realm, hardly worth mentioning," Qin Heng replied indifferently, as if it were as simple as eating and drinking.

"What? Traversing the Spirit Realm!?" Qu Hanyan was so shocked she nearly jumped. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Qin Heng, as if she had seen a ghost.

The Spirit Realm!

It was essentially part of what was commonly known as the sea of Heavenly Essence. It wasn't a material world, but an existence between the tangible and intangible—an interleaved plane of laws, Dao principles, and Spiritual Energy. Its full name was said to be "The Realm of the Profoundly Mystical and Vast True Yuan of Pure Spirit." The Spirit Realm intertwined with reality, covering nearly any place with Heavenly Essence. Yet, it existed above and beyond reality, in the threshold between the tangible and intangible. It was profound and unfathomable, filled with all sorts of bizarre and unimaginable things and creatures.

Those below the Saint realm could not truly touch the Spirit Realm. Even Great Saints could only enter it cautiously; if anything went amiss, they had to withdraw immediately or risk mortal danger. To traverse the Spirit Realm with stability, either by walking isolated from the world or by using it for rapid, long-distance travel, required one to be at the pinnacle of the Great Saint realm at the very least. And that was merely for traversing the Spirit Realm alone. Bringing someone else along was even more difficult, verging on impossible—likely only feasible for a Saint King who had achieved mastery in the Martial Dao.

"Do you think you're a Saint King?" Qu Hanyan simply couldn't believe it. Based on her knowledge and worldview, this was utterly impossible!

"A Saint King? What of it?" Qin Heng said with a faint smile, his gaze suddenly intensifying.

Qu Hanyan immediately felt the world before her eyes begin to change rapidly. It faded from color to black and white, then distorted. Suddenly, it was as if layers of vibrant paint were splashed across it, turning her world bizarre and surreal.

WHOOSH!

A fleeting sense of weightlessness washed over Qu Hanyan; she felt as though she had flown for a few seconds. But the Innate True Qi within her body became completely dormant, impossible to mobilize. She felt like a powerless young girl.

What was happening!?

Qu Hanyan was shocked, her face paling.

When she came back to her senses, she found that Qin Heng had vanished without a trace. She had unexpectedly left Beijing International Airport. Looking towards the distant horizon, she saw an endless wilderness, completely devoid of anything.

Where is this? Qu Hanyan was inwardly shocked. She pulled out her phone, checked her location on the map, and searched for Beijing International Airport. Then, her pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints.

Thirty kilometers!?

Beijing International Airport was actually thirty kilometers away from here!?

In that instant, did Qin Xuantian really transport me thirty kilometers!?

Qu Hanyan was filled with doubt and disbelief, her breathing becoming rapid, her chest heaving. Traversing the Spirit Realm... it really is traversing the Spirit Realm! How is this possible? Just how strong is Qin Xuantian!?
