Chapter 34: Heaven's Will Ascension
Chapter 34: Heaven's Will Ascension
Just as Su Chen had predicted, the experts arrived during the cold winter.
Claiming to slay demons and eliminate monsters, it was highly unlikely.
Moreover, they visited Mao Family Valley every year, and if there were any demons, they would have been slain long ago.
The slightly enlightened demons would even avoid the area around Mao Family Valley when walking.
"They've been coming for so many years, and those experts still haven't found what they're looking for?"
Uncle Chen beside him shook his head with a smile.
"We common folk don't know about that, but it seems like they haven't found it.
Otherwise, why would they waste time coming here every year?
Anyway, you should also be careful, little brother. Many of those experts aren't from our Great Zhou."
"Offending them won't be met with mercy, and you might suffer."
Su Chen nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Before parting in the morning, Su Chen took out a white pine grass and gave it to Uncle Chen.
It was a token of gratitude for the information they provided.
Su Chen had some plans in mind and wanted to visit the area around Mao Family Valley himself.
Without the support of a profound background, he had to seize every possible opportunity.
Moreover, he also had the assistance of his Heaven's Will abilities.
【Demon Hunter Pioneering】With Heaven's Will, he could detect most dangers.
Experts and powerhouses came every year, most likely because they knew there were treasures in the Mao Family Valley area.
But they couldn't find it, so they returned every year.
Although Su Chen didn't possess the strength of a powerhouse, he was adept at tracking the movements and traces of demonic creatures.
In this wilderness, his advantage might not be inferior to those powerhouses and experts.
Su Chen had already decided to venture to Mao Family Valley.
He headed towards the direction of Mao Family Valley.
Along the way, he encountered numerous demonic creatures.
These creatures seemed to be trying to stay as far away from Mao Family Valley as possible.
Thus, it was highly likely that many powerhouses were occupying the area, causing these lesser and greater demons to flee to other places.
In the wilderness, Su Chen heightened his vigilance.
It was no longer just about encountering greater demons or golden demons.
As those herb gatherers had said, he should be more cautious of the experts and powerhouses.
Being discovered by them might be worse than being found by demonic creatures.
Su Chen tried to avoid them as much as possible, always staying alert to the surroundings.
【Demon Hunter Pioneering】This ability slightly enhanced his five senses, allowing him to observe others, which wasn't too bad.
After half a day's walk, Su Chen reached the outskirts of Mao Family Valley.
The wilderness in the cold winter was usually silent.
However, on the outskirts, faint voices of people talking could be heard.
Moving forward, he would likely encounter those powerhouses and experts.
Su Chen stayed on the outskirts, searching and testing his luck.
He wondered if he would be fortunate enough to find the Earth Spirit Treasure.
During his search, Su Chen vaguely sensed something amiss.
The higher the strength of a demonic creature, the less intense the stench on its body.
They became more human-like, shedding their beastly nature.
But even though the scent was faint, it was still identifiable.
At this moment, Su Chen smelled that scent.
It was the odor emanating from an earth demon. Sensing something amiss, Su Chen didn't hesitate and immediately dashed towards the direction of the defense line.
After creating some distance, the earth demon finally noticed Su Chen's figure.
According to Su Chen's experience, at this distance, he posed no threat to the earth demon, and it shouldn't harbor much malice towards him.
But after a brief pause, the earth demon immediately rushed towards Su Chen's direction.
With his current strength, even if he used the Nine Heavens Divine Blade Formation, he might only be able to exchange a single move with it.
Without a moment's hesitation, Su Chen sprinted away.
Along the way, he even discarded the bag containing herbs.
As he neared the defense line, the Earth Demon, which was a cultivated Wolf Demon, should no longer pursue him. Although it lacked the agility of Cat Demons, its strength far surpassed Su Chen's.
Suddenly, a flash of silver light streaked by.
A sword aura seemed to fly towards the Earth Demon.
The pursuing Wolf Demon halted in its tracks.
It stood up, baring its fangs, which were still stained with blood.
Its eyes gleamed with ferocity as it stared at the figure before it.
Su Chen slowed to a stop, maintaining a safe distance.
The person who intervened was a woman, dressed in white, her attire blending seamlessly with the snow.
She's so beautiful, I want to marry her."
Su Chen's heart was filled with admiration.
The woman's face was exquisite, with a hint of youthful innocence and a touch of maturity.
She was a true immortal maiden.
The Wolf Demon stood off against her, and in a dozen breaths, it backed down.
Although it still displayed some ferocity, it chose to flee.
A moment later, the immortal maiden turned to face Su Chen.
"Head southwest; there are not only Earth Demons here, but also a Heavenly Demon.
Also, if those ill-tempered individuals spot you, you'll face trouble."
The immortal maiden spoke with gentle warmth, yet her demeanor exuded a chilling aura, keeping others at a distance.
"Thank you for your assistance, senior."
Su Chen paused, then ran to retrieve his herb bag.
"I'm forever indebted to you for saving my life.
If you don't mind, please accept these herbs as a token of gratitude.
They are quite precious and valuable."
Before Su Chen could finish, the immortal maiden couldn't help but smile.
"No need; keep them."
With that, she departed without lingering.
Her figure was light and graceful, and she headed towards Mao Jia Valley.
Was she a Fourth Stage Transformation Realm practitioner?
Su Chen snapped out of his thoughts, realizing that such powerhouses were far beyond his reach.
It seemed that near Mao Jia Valley, not only were there Earth Spirit Treasures, but also Earth and Heavenly Demons.
Even with his current strength, if he were to encounter an Earth Demon, there would still be danger if it pursued him relentlessly.
Regaining his focus, Su Chen continued searching for herbs, steering clear of Mao Jia Valley.
After two days of searching, a line of small characters appeared before him.
【Demon Slaying for the People, Eradicating Evil to Protect the Roots, Safeguarding Peace, Heaven's Will Ascension: Skilled Demonslayer】
Su Chen focused his mind on the Sea of Consciousness, and his original 【Demon Hunter】 Heaven's Will had already ascended to 【Skilled Demonslayer】.
【Skilled Demonslayer: Enhances visual, auditory, and olfactory abilities, significantly improving demon observation and tracking skills】
【Demon Hunter】 was the first Heaven's Will he obtained.
However, unexpectedly, 【Blade Walker】 had ascended even before 【Demon Hunter】.
It seemed that it required more extreme usage.
Only by coming near Mao Jia Valley did he observe numerous Earth Demon tracks.
Perhaps it was because of this ascension.
