Chapter 417: Returning to Jin Kingdom
Chapter 417: Returning to Jin Kingdom
The Fifth Stage Snow Intent Realm, a realm he had now entered.
Su Chen never expected this moment to arrive so soon.
Looking up, he realized that he hadn't even reached the deepest part of the secret realm.
But today, Su Chen wasn't planning to venture further.
The secret realm left behind by Jing Bo Immortal was still quite deep.
There were probably many beneficial things inside.
However, Su Chen knew that going deeper would be extremely difficult.
It was not a place he, as a beginner in the Fifth Stage, could enter.
Su Chen had now traversed through three secret realms left by Jing Bo Immortal.
The first one was the foundation, the root of it all.
It was the prerequisite for entering the other secret realms.
By learning the array formations within and understanding the intentions left by Jing Bo Immortal, Su Chen could then proceed to the next secret realm.
The second secret realm was a path for cultivation, a method to comprehend and elevate one's cultivation.
It was a means of tempering and guiding the younger generation to advance further.
The third secret realm was a real test of one's strength and cultivation realm.
Su Chen had been guided through the Sixth Stage Profound Completion to enter the Fifth Stage Snow Intent Realm.
If he were still at the Sixth Stage Beginner, he might have encountered difficulties after taking only a few steps.
Then, guided by the secret realm, he would gradually improve his strength and cultivation realm.
The things left by Jing Bo Immortal were indeed filled with profound mysteries.
It was no wonder that in the Bright Shadow Battlefield, Sang Mo just wanted Su Chen to perish because he knew about these secrets.
The things left by Jing Bo Immortal were indeed incredibly exquisite.
However, Su Chen also believed that not just anyone who obtained them could comprehend them.
The array formations left by Jing Bo Immortal were not easy to master.
Even Sang Mo, after obtaining them, might struggle to comprehend them within a year or two.
Inside the secret realm, Su Chen had made up his mind and decided not to venture further.
Having just advanced to the Fifth Stage, he couldn't take another step forward.
To go deeper, he would have to wait until his strength became more stable and he could make further progress.
At that time, he could return to this place again.
After making his decision, Su Chen calmed his mind and heart.
He took out two jade pills and consumed them, waiting for his condition to fully recover before leaving.
At this moment, outside the secret realm left by Jing Bo Immortal, many people had gathered.
Su Chen had been inside for ten hours, and he still hadn't emerged.
Among the gathered geniuses from various major powers, many of them had entered the secret realm.
Inside, they could stay for over an hour.
The less capable ones might have to leave after two or three quarters of an hour.
But Su Chen had managed to stay inside for ten hours.
Outside, many geniuses had gathered together.
Even Cao Yan'er, who had suffered serious injuries, and Qiao Qianqiu were among them.
They could still speak, but even sitting seemed beyond their capabilities.
Cao Yan'er's face still carried a hint of hatred.
Qiao Qianqiu, after being struck by Su Chen twice, had used a cultivation technique to temporarily boost his strength.
His condition was far from optimal, and it was difficult for him to even show a hint of hatred on his face.
Among the crowd, two older men stood out with their advanced age.
"This young man's sudden appearance has us all curious about his background.
I speculate that he's probably a descendant of some hidden sect.
With his current talent, if left unchecked, he might surpass us all."
The two elders hesitated, then glanced at the people from Golden Armor Kingdom.
As one of the top experts from the kingdom, he had come to observe.
Unexpectedly, they had encountered a genius of the generation.
At this moment, the crowd discussed how to deal with this young man.
Even a warrior like Cao Yan'er had lost so badly.
What would happen if he continued to grow?
The Elder Tu, who had sent the letter to Su Chen, stepped forward again.
"I believe we should take action.
He's so young and already at the Middle Stage of Heaven Sect Realm.
Cao Yan'er and Qiao Qianqiu, they only reached such a realm in their fifties.
Imagine his strength when he's fifty.
The world's balance might shift because of him.
Countless lives might be lost.
For the sake of the world, we should make the right choice this time."
Many of the major forces nodded in agreement.
Except for the Elephant Prefecture, the others shared a similar opinion.
Amidst the crowd, someone voiced a concern.
"I'm thinking, what if the hidden sect that nurtured such a genius seeks dominance?"
His worry was not unfounded.
But soon, someone refuted him.
"Do you think hidden sects don't value their interests and profits?
Action: If they truly didn't value it, then what was Su Chen fighting for? If they valued benefits, then why did they need to seclude themselves? Why didn't they come out and compete with us?"
Facing this rebuttal, the crowd didn't know how to respond.
Both sides had their reasons, and both were possible.
Now, it was up to the two elders to decide.
These two individuals were the current top-notch experts.
One was Cao Yan'er's master, and the other was Qiu Qiao's uncle.
Both were already in their nineties, and their strength had reached the peak of the Heaven Sect Realm.
With this level of strength, they could easily overturn many factions and cause their demise.
But in Su Chen's case, their strength was only considered average.
The power of the peak Heaven Sect Realm was almost on par with the sixth-stage Profound Completion.
In this region, they also felt the difficulty of the scorching heart fire.
So, after entering the Heaven Sect Realm, with every bit of progress in their strength, they felt it was a realm advancement.
In reality, this was a misunderstanding of the essence of cultivation realms.
No wonder the martial arts strength in this region was not exceptional.
Perhaps they were thinking about the future, or perhaps it was to avenge Cao Yan'er and Qiu Qiao's personal grudges.
These two top-notch experts decided to take action against Su Chen.
They just had a request.
When Su Chen appeared later, all factions had to send someone to deal with him.
Regardless of their strength, they must send someone.
Every faction had submitted a declaration of war.
The people of Xiangzhou Prefecture, and as they made their decision, they were all controlled.
To prevent Su Chen from causing trouble, they had already sentenced him.
Seizing this opportunity, they intended to destroy Su Chen.
In the crowd, Duan Hanchuan, Tian Ming, and Gong Zhenye, among others, all brandished their weapons.
In fact, someone from the Golden Armor Kingdom had already taken action.
There was no need for these juniors to make a move.
But these few people were proactive, and they were willing.
They were determined to take action against Su Chen, watching as he was damaged under their hands.
A hint of pride was hidden on their faces.
That previous pride, that peerless talent, those young people.
Su Chen, who had lost all face, was about to be destroyed.
No matter how high his talent, now that he had entered the Heaven Sect Realm, what could he do?
Even if he was at the peak of the Heaven Sect Realm, facing two other experts at the same realm, would he still have a chance to fight back?
As these people prepared, Su Chen had already reached the exit of the secret realm.
At this moment, Su Chen's condition had fully recovered.
At the fifth stage of the Snow Intent Realm, he could now simultaneously activate five Heavenly Wills.
[Indomitable], [Blade Spirit], [Demon Hunter], [Graceful], [Luck Bearer].
These five Heavenly Wills became permanent.
The advancement to the fifth stage was not significant, but there was some growth in his mindset.
However, compared to the sixth stage Profound Completion, his abilities had indeed become stronger.
If he exerted all his strength, Su Chen felt he should be able to hold his ground against a Profound Realm expert.
But it was still likely that he would lose.
For this region, Su Chen had no worries.
Previously, he had been concerned about the existence of Profound Realm experts in this region.
After all, without Profound Realm experts, how could they defend against the Demon Emperor's sneak attacks? But in Jing Bo Immortal's secret realm, Su Chen had found the answer.
It was there that the remnants of the Demon Emperor's body were hidden.
The aura and pressure emanating from these remnants repelled all demons.
In this region, to put it bluntly, it was because the Heaven Demon did not dare to invade, so various factions gathered here.
Profound Realm experts in this region were very likely non-existent.
In fact, Su Chen even suspected that there might not be any Snow Intent Realm experts here.
Not long after, Su Chen had reached the exit of the secret realm.
[Demon Hunter] Heavenly Will enhanced his eyesight and hearing. Although its effect against humans was not as significant, it was still several times stronger than that of Cao Yan'er and her ilk.
Outside the secret realm, those who were about to take action against him were spotted by Su Chen first.
Drawing his weapon, Su Chen calmly walked towards the exit of the secret realm.
At the exit, a ray of light happened to fall on Su Chen.
Now, it was already past noon, and the surroundings were brightly lit.
When these people saw Su Chen appear, they immediately brandished their weapons and rushed forward.
The two experts at the peak of the Heaven Sect Realm were both sword wielders.
Their attack towards Su Chen was merciless, and they held nothing back.
They aimed to destroy Su Chen in one strike, rendering him unable to fight back.
Behind these two experts, there were other martial artists from various sects taking action.
Of course, they were just expressing their attitude.
Waiting for the two experts to heavily injure Su Chen, they would then deliver the finishing blow.
In the blink of an eye, Su Chen's longsword moved.
A flash of cold light, and these two top-tier powerhouses, were simultaneously pierced by Su Chen's sword.
As the sword was withdrawn, the two Heaven Ancestor Realm experts fell from the sky.
This scene shocked everyone present.
Those with quick reflexes immediately sheathed their weapons and fled into the distance.
Their expectations were completely wrong.
Su Chen's ability was not the Heaven Ancestor Realm they had anticipated.
It was beyond the Heaven Ancestor Realm, an even higher existence!
With just one move, these Heaven Ancestor Realm experts were struck at their vital points, leaving no doubt about their fate.
Su Chen was not bloodthirsty, but that didn't mean he would allow these people to attack him without consequence.
Those who wanted to make a statement soon felt Su Chen's resolve.
Su Chen casually swung his sword, and none of them could completely evade it.
Duan Hanchuan, Tian Lan, and Gong Zhenye were among them.
They hadn't planned to take action, but they wanted to vent their anger towards Su Chen.
Unbeknownst to them, Su Chen had already shown mercy earlier.
Upon seeing them, Su Chen made sure to take care of them first.
His sword pierced their bodies.
These so-called top geniuses would lose their lives today.
Duan Hanchuan and the others had thought they would witness Su Chen's demise today.
Seeing him dejected and lonely, they vented their anger.
But now, the tables had turned completely.
It was they who perished.
After receiving Su Chen's attack, they lay on the ground, mouths spewing blood.
The letter Su Chen had sent earlier had already terrified the Venerable Tu in Elephant State.
His face was deathly pale, and he couldn't stop vomiting.
Su Chen swung his sword towards him.
Many had already fled, using all their might, including the Tendency to Burn.
What's the point of living if you can't please those above you?
Su Chen held his sword and walked towards Cao Yan'er and Qiao Qianqiu.
These two couldn't even stand, yet they had come to witness his humiliation.
Cao Yan'er's previous hatred had now turned to regret.
She knew she was wrong, she knew she was about to die.
After being kicked by Su Chen, she still thought of revenge, seeking to make him pay.
Now, she couldn't even keep herself alive.
Su Chen had no interest in prolonging their lives and ended them.
The secret realm around them instantly became terrifying.
If not for these people attacking him, Su Chen would have chosen to hold back.
But he had no choice; these people refused to take the path of life.
Su Chen glanced at them and paid no further attention.
He had been out for a while, it was time to return.
He wondered if the people from Wulan Manor were still searching for him in the Great Zhou.
He had injured their guards, and now their grudge against him would likely be even greater.
On the way back, he used the Demon Hunter technique.
Su Chen discovered that as he approached, many demons hid in fear, seemingly because they sensed the Demon Emperor's aura on him, making them extremely anxious.
Along the way, he didn't waste any time, traveling day and night.
Upon reaching the border city of Jin, Su Chen rested briefly.
After his rest, he set off again, heading towards the Hongfeng Canyon.
Currently, he still needed the support of Tahe Sect.
At least for now, everything was going smoothly within the Tahe Sect.
