The Journey of Overthrowing the Celestial Emperor
Ch. 156 ~ Activate Portal

Upset at being played with by the Fire Tiger, the Phoenix Bird released a burst of fire which he directed at Laohu. But unfortunately, instead of Laohu being hit, he even felt his own attack when the spray was reflected just like that when it hit the Array wall.

Seeing this, Laohu laughed. A strange and very loud laugh. Even the Fire Tiger was currently rolling on the ground while holding its stomach.

Zhang Ziyi saw the behavior of his pet that disturbed the Phoenix bird could only shake his head.

"Already, Laohu. Stop interfering–nya!" zhang Ziyi said, "You take it easy. Regarding those subordinates of yours, I can guarantee that they will be safe here!" Zhang Ziyi tried to calm down the Phoenix bird again.

The bird still seemed to be unable to calm down. He was even more desperate to destroy the Array that surrounded him.

"Alright, let me take you to your subordinate–!" Zhang Ziyi moved the Phoenix to the place where the ferocious beasts were.

In just the blink of an eye, they had arrived at their destination.

God Gou Liang released the array. Letting the bird be free.

The Phoenix bird had originally flown high and was intending to move away, yet he immediately stopped its flight pace as it sensed the presence of so many ferocious beasts.

Then he went downstairs, saw that all of his members were here, looking fine. Even they seemed to feel better on appeal when they were in the previous world.

The Phoenix bird flew down.

Sensing the laughter of their leader, the beasts gathered and approached. They saluted the leader.

Feeling moved, the Phoenix Bird turned its head towards Zhang Ziyi. He was a little hesitant at first, but in the end he remained inspired to thank Zhang Ziyi. He lowered his head while beside Zhang Ziyi.

"You don't have to be shy." Zang Ziyi put on a small smile. He then stroked the head of the Phoenix bird.

"Will you be my contract star?" zhang Ziyi asked.

Without waiting for long, the Phoenix Bird immediately nodded its head in approval.

Zhang Ziyi smiled again. Then he dripped his blood on the Phoenix bird's forehead.

Instantly a golden light began to envelop the body of the Fire Phoenix. His body slowly floated by itself. After twenty seconds, the light spread out into a halo, revealing a cute little bird. Both eyes are slightly widened as well as a small but large body. There are three strands of fur elongated on his forehead like a crown, with a red feather color.

The bird flew around Zhang Ziyi's body, glowing golden-red dust was also seen coming out his back following the direction of the bird's cut.

"Good, now you've become my friend. I'll accompany you Niao!" zhang Ziyi.

It seemed that the little Phoenix bird liked the name. Then he flew and alighted at Laohu's head.

Laohu who does not like his head on the stampede, was about to dodge. Yet he instantly stopped his intention when he felt a horrifying aura piercing his bones.

In the end Laohu still could not do anything, other than let the small, pretentious and cute-looking creature perched on his head. In any case, Niao had power over him.

"Auumm!" Laohu roars resignedly.

Zhang Ziyi shook his head again at the behavior of the two pets.

Afterwards Zhang Ziyi faced the Fire God and Gou Liang God.

"Grandfather, after this, where are we going?" zhang Ziyi asked. In fact he was hoping to rush into the upper realms and adventure there. But he had to wait for God Gou Liang to say so because he knew that everything God Gou Liang said always led to the best for him.

"There's nothing more you have to take care of here. Now you can go to the Upper realms" replied God Gou Liang.

"Well, I get it, Grandpa!" Although he looked ordinary on the outside, but inside Zhang Ziyi looked so enthusiastic.

"But Ziyi'er, in order to be a part of the upper realm occupants, you need to get recognition from there!" the Fire God.

"Confession?" zhang Ziyi asked.

"Yes, confession ... in other words the test before officially becoming a resident of the Upper Realm!"

The God of Gou Luas and the God of Fire took turns explaining to Zhang Ziyi regarding the preparations to the upper realms.

After ten minutes the two had finished explaining to Zhang Ziyi.

Nodding signs of understanding. "But grandfather, if those two examiners had the strength of a Universe-level realm, wouldn't it be difficult for me to defeat them? Moreover, their number was made up of two people!"

"Eat him you need to increase your cultivation–. At least one stage!" the Fire God replied to Zhang Ziyi.

After a while, they finally decided to end the conversation.

Zhang Ziyi went to another region in the soul realm to cultivate. At least to break through to the next level, the one or two levels that were most important to him were to successfully become strong and defeat the two officers that he would face in the recognition exam later on.

Arriving at the destination, Zhang Ziyi allowed Laohu and Niao to play around and nod at each other. While he was cultivating in the large round stone on the cliff.

A Heavenly level pill he swallowed then began to absorb its Efficacy. In addition, he also took out one of the herbs present in the space ring that had spiritual energy-boosting properties in the body. One of the jade-colored Spirit Crystals he also took out. The spirit crystal itself was a Demon God spirit crystal.

After spending some time, Zhang Ziyi finally finished absorbing the properties of the ingredients earlier, Zhan Ziyi started to feel a surge of energy from his body. It seems he's about to break through again.

Sure enough, as time went on, the energy emanating from Zhang Ziyi's body also increased.

Ohhhhh!!!

Muffled explosions rang out clearly from Zhang Ziyi's body. Along with that the aura that Zhang Ziyi emitted also grew stronger.

He breathed air for a moment. After puffing his rough– through his mouth.

Zhang Ziyi took out the Heavenly level pill again. This time two pieces. The God Demon spirit crystals he also took out numbered 3 pieces. Not to forget about the herbal plants that have the function of increasing spiritual energy as well he took out. Only then did he return to repeating his cultivation ritual.

Counting two days already at the soul realm he had spent cultivating, Zhang Ziyi had also managed to breakthrough up to four times a breakthrough. And now he had reached the first stage of the Universe Realm.

Although much he sacrificed for this, at least the results he obtained did not harm him. Moreover, every increase of one level then to reach the next level he must use the resources many times the amount.

Zhang Ziyi got up, descended from the round stone. He took a long breath again. Through his nose and throw rough through his mouth.

"Laohu—Niao ... Let's go back!" call Zhang Ziyi.

Laohu immediately shot towards Zhang Ziyi when he heard himself on the call. From the expression that he looked at, it was obvious that he was being annoyed and annoyed by the little Bird.

Laohu unfurled two pairs of his– wings. After his master climbed on his back, Laohu flew at high speed. Niao himself had climbed Laohu's head from earlier.

It did not take long for them to arrive at the place where Gou Liang and the Fire God were relaxing.

"You've gone up in level apparently!" god Gou Liang said after sipping heavenly tea.

"real grandpa. Are we able to go to the Upper Realm now?" zhang Ziyi asked enthusiastically.

"Hohoho, be patient little boy. Let's relax with us for a moment. Only then will we be there!" the Fire God. He flicked his hand, instantly a glass floated in the air. The heavenly tea water slowly began to fill the glass. The appearance of the water itself is a mystery.

"Good Grandpa!" Zhang Ziyi sat down and took the hovering tea. He also sipped tea.

"Ziyi'er, now your cultivation has reached the first stage of the Universe realm. You've been more than enough to get the acknowledgement from the heavens!" the Fire God.

"Yes ... Not just enough, but more than enough. This Zhang Ziyi could even defeat one to two level cultivators on it." Lord Gou Liang also added.

"Thank you, Grandpa!" zhang Ziyi said as she cupped her hands in salute.

"But you don't be happy! This confession test is not as simple as you might think. It could be that you will lose your cultivation while passing through it!" god Gou Liang.

"really. This is what you have to calculate. Don't let your guard down and instead lead you to something bad." The Fire God added.

"Yes, I get it, Grandpa!"

The three people continued to talk for a long time. After dusk changed the night, only they stopped the activity.

Zhang Ziyi chose to rest by cultivating. While the two pets all day seemed to not get along it is currently sleeping soundly, with clinging. Of course it was the little bird that overcame Laohu.

-

The morning came so fast. As per yesterday's agreement, that today Zhang Ziyi will leave for the upper realms.

Currently He, God Gou Liang, God of Fire, Laohu and Niao were standing on the field. A few meters in front of them stood two pillars. Ancient writings also adorned the surface of the pillar.

"Zhang Ziyi, to get there, you need a portal created from the two pillars. This is because you are a new person who will be there for the first time. But if you've become a inhabitant of the upper realms, then you no longer need to use the portal to get there!" the Fire God.

"Yes, but this portal has long since disappeared. In order to activate it, it would probably require a strength that was not small!" God Gou Liang explained the problem. "But you just calm down. Me and the Fire God will help you reactivate the portal," He turned his head towards the Fire God beside him.

The Fire God nodded. Afterwards he and God Gou Liang began to approach the two pillars. Intending to reactivate the long-lost circle of portals.
