Chapter 1240

"Martial Nephew Chen has also broken through to the Mysterious Nether realm. Congratulations!"

Elder Iron of the Enforcement Hall stepped forward to congratulate him.

He was at the late-stage Mysterious Nether Realm and had an extremely high status in the Sect.

Previously, Guan Hongri had taken the initiative to converse with Elder Iron, but now, Elder Iron had taken the initiative to congratulate Chen Yu.

In Elder Iron's eyes, only Chen Yu, who had broken through to the Profound Nether Realm as a Seven Star King, was worthy of him taking the initiative to befriend him.

In the Origin World, Six Star Kings were rare, but there were still quite a few of them. As for Seven Star Kings, Chen Yu was the only one in the entire human race in the past ten thousand years!

In the near future, Chen Yu might become a deity of the Celestial Sect!

"Brother Chen is just over a hundred years old. He has already broken the record of being the youngest Dark Emperor Lord in the past ten thousand years."

A prodigy on the Heaven Martial Ranking said respectfully.

In the eyes of those who didn't know the truth, Chen Yu had defeated Guan Hongri several times before he had broken through, and he had broken through to the Profound Nether Realm at a younger age. He was clearly more worthy of befriending than Guan Hongri.

At the banquet, many upper echelon geniuses approached Chen Yu.

The news of Chen Yu's return to the Sect spread like wildfire.

Guan Hongri gnashed his teeth in anger when he saw this scene.

"This is my celebration feast!"

Guan Hongri roared unwillingly in his heart.

This was a banquet held by the Sect for him, and he was the main character. But now, the crowd around him had dwindled, and Chen Yu was surrounded so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through.

Those upper echelons who had put on airs in front of him were now facing Chen Yu like they were facing an expert of the same generation.

His hatred towards Chen Yu deepened once again.

But every time his gaze landed on Chen Yu, fear would surge in his heart.

"How did he break through to the Mysterious Nether Realm so quickly? Why didn't he fail when he broke through … "

Previously, Guan Hongri had dared to provoke Chen Yu because of the gap between the Star Condensation Realm and the Mysterious Underworld Realm.

At the same level, he did not dare to rashly cause trouble, lest he incurred an even more miserable fate.

Suddenly, hearty laughter came from outside.

"Hahaha, I heard that Little Friend Chen has broken through to the Mysterious Nether realm, so I came to congratulate you."

A brawny man with bronze skin and leather armor quickly walked in.

An invisible heat wave rose from his body as he pushed through the crowd and arrived in front of Chen Yu.

The person who was pushed away originally wanted to reprimand him, but after seeing who it was, he immediately shut his mouth.

This was because the person who had come was the Celestial Sect's Blacksmithing Valley's Grandmaster Yao. Not only was his cultivation at the mid-stage of the Mysterious Underworld Realm, but his blacksmithing skills were also famous a thousand years ago, and he had been recruited by the Celestial Sect.

"It's Grandmaster Yao."

When Guan Hongri saw who it was, his face flushed red.

He had invited Master Yao before, but the other party had rejected him with the reason that he was busy with work.

Now, Grandmaster Yao had personally come to congratulate Chen Yu after learning that he had broken through to the Mysterious Nether Realm.

Guan Hongri wished he could leave immediately.

However, the banquet was held for him. If he left now, he would not be giving face to the Sect.

Guan Hongri felt extremely aggrieved and wanted to cry.

The Sect's banquet for him had become Chen Yu's banquet. He couldn't leave even if he wanted to. He could only watch Chen Yu's glory.

"Little Friend Chen, if you have any needs for artifact forging in the future, you can come find me. I'll give you a fifty percent discount for your first artifact forging."

Grandmaster Yao said straightforwardly.

Many people sucked in a breath. Grandmaster Yao was famous for being black-hearted, and his demands were extremely high.

They were surprised that Grandmaster Yao would say something like a fifty percent discount.

"I've long heard of Little Friend Chen, so I came to congratulate you."

A clear voice descended along with an imperial aura.

Another Mystic Nether Sovereign Lord!

The newcomer was dressed in white. Although he was middle-aged, he was elegant and dignified.

"Grandmaster Fu!"

A disciple called out.

"The Celestial Sect's Chef Grandmaster, Fu Qingshui."

Guan Hongri's heart was heavily injured once again.

Almost every major force had a Master Chef, who would cook excellent food to entertain the guests at important banquets.

He had once invited Fu Qingshui to cook for his banquet, but Fu Qingshui had rejected him because he was researching a new dish.

But now, Fu Qingshui had come personally to congratulate Chen Yu.

"So, it's Grandmaster Fu."

"Little Friend Chen, I've researched a new dish. I'll give it to you as a gift to congratulate you for breaking through to the Mysterious Underworld Realm."

Fu Qingshui smiled.

"A new dish?"

Everyone's eyes lit up. Even the Mystic Nether Sovereign Lord looked expectant.

A new dish from a Chef Grandmaster was equivalent to a new elixir developed by an Alchemy Grandmaster.

Then, a silver bracelet on Fu Qingshui's wrist flashed.

Buzz!

An oval-shaped spatial tunnel appeared in front of him. Fu Qingshui entered it and disappeared.

Everyone present knew that Fu Qingshui had entered his "private kitchen" and started cooking.

Chen Yu was also slightly interested in delicacies that had excellent taste and other special effects.

A moment later.

Fu Qingshui walked out. A silver tray floated in front of him, and a jade bowl was emitting steam.

With just a breath, many of the disciples present felt their bodies turn cold and comfortable, and even their souls felt as if they were about to fly away.

"This soup is called 'Fish Dragon Soup.' Little Friend, congratulations on your breakthrough to the Mysterious Underworld Realm."

Fu Qingshui introduced the new dish.

Chen Yu picked up the jade bowl and saw a green fish swimming around it. In the end, it turned into the image of a dragon. Its eyes released a dragon's might that intimidated the soul.

Gulp!

Chen Yu drank the Fish Dragon Soup in one gulp. He immediately felt a clear current flow through his body. It reached his Star Source and entered his Star Soul.

If Chen Yu was only at the early stage of the Mysterious Underworld realm, his Star Source would be nourished after drinking this soup. His cultivation base would be stable, and his Star Soul would be stronger.

For someone who had just broken through to the Mysterious Underworld realm, this Fish Dragon Soup was extremely effective.

However, Chen Yu's true cultivation base had reached the middle stage of the Mysterious Underworld realm. The Fish Dragon Soup's effect on him would be greatly reduced.

He would just treat it as a delicacy.

"Fish Dragon Soup, Fish Dragon Soup …"

Guan Hongri, who was far away, was extremely envious. This Fish Dragon Soup should be his.

Finally.

Guan Hongri's emotions exploded. He looked straight at Chen Yu and shouted, "Chen Yu, this is my celebration banquet. Are you here to cause trouble?"

He felt that this reason was reasonable. Due to Chen Yu's arrival, his celebration banquet had completely changed.

"Isn't the banquet going to continue as usual?"

Chen Yu said with a smile that wasn't a smile.

He was in a good mood because he had subtly humiliated Guan Hongri.

"This is my celebration banquet!"

Guan Hongri gritted his teeth. The power of his Star Soul circulated, and an invisible Emperor's Might gathered. A mountain-toppling pressure surged toward Chen Yu.

He decided to test Chen Yu's strength, so he used a soul-level pressure.

The surrounding Celestial Sect disciples only felt a sudden pressure. Their souls trembled, but they didn't find anything strange.

Only the Mysterious Underworld realm disciples could clearly sense that Guan Hongri had used a soul-level attack on Chen Yu.

However, they didn't stop it. It wasn't convenient to stop such an invisible contest in the dark unless it was brought out in the open.

Furthermore, both sides were early-stage Mysterious Underworld experts, so there wouldn't be any trouble.

Boom!

Guan Hongri's soul pressure was like a ferocious beast. It rushed into Chen Yu's soul world as if it wanted to crush everything.

Chen Yu found Guan Hongri's behavior funny.

He wouldn't allow the other party to bully him.

The instant Guan Hongri's soul pressure came into contact with Chen Yu's Astral Soul, Chen Yu abruptly launched a counterattack.

Guan Hongri's soul pressure instantly shattered. His Star Soul trembled, and his head felt dizzy.

Everything happened too suddenly. He hadn't expected that he would be instantly suppressed.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Guan Hongri took three steps back. His face was pale, and his eyes were dull and listless. He looked at Chen Yu with fear in his eyes.

At that moment, he only felt a shockingly violent soul force colliding with him. Because it was too sudden and too fast, he didn't even have time to probe Chen Yu's strength.

The surroundings fell silent.

Everyone looked at Guan Hongri. They weren't surprised by his failure.

However, Guan Hongri seemed to have been suppressed.

"Chen Yu isn't a body-refiner? No matter what, it's impossible for him to suppress Guan Hongri in a battle of souls. "

"Could it be because Chen Yu broke through to the Mysterious Nether Realm as a Seven-Star Monarch?"

"I heard from the Martial Sky Sect Master that Chen Yu's cultivation was close to seven-and-a-half stars. Perhaps he broke through to the Mysterious Nether Realm as a seven-and-a-half star Monarch. Otherwise, how could he have such a huge advantage in a battle of souls with Guan Hongri?"

The upper echelons conversed secretly.

"Was it my imagination? Just now, I sensed a mid-stage Mysterious Nether Realm soul force in Chen Yu's body … "

Elder Iron was puzzled.

Most of the Star Condensation Realm disciples only felt the pressure in the air disappear. They didn't realize that a battle of souls between Sovereign Lords had just taken place.

This was even with Chen Yu and Guan Hongri restraining themselves. If they attacked recklessly, at least half of the Star Condensation Realm disciples present would be killed.

"Senior Brother Guan, what's wrong?"

Qu Nanxiang, who was in the top ten of the Heaven Martial Ranking, immediately asked when he saw Guan Hongri suddenly take a few steps back.

"I'm fine."

Guan Hongri looked like his soul had left his body, and his eyes were dazed.

He didn't even know how he spent the rest of the banquet.

When the banquet ended, a fat elder that looked like a Maitreya Buddha appeared behind Guan Hongri and said calmly, "Disciple, don't fight with him in the future."

He knew that Chen Yu had reached the Seven-Star Monarch Realm. Adding on the fact that Chen Yu was over a hundred years old, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Chen Yu was the number one genius of the human race.

If Chen Yu and Guan Hongri were irreconcilable, the Sect would definitely choose Chen Yu in the end.

"Chen Yu, I really didn't expect you to break through so quickly."

"What was your cultivation when you broke through to the Mysterious Nether Realm?"

The Scarlet Flame King asked cautiously. He suddenly became cautious when facing Chen Yu, who was in the Mysterious Nether Realm.

"Nine stars."

There was no one around, so Chen Yu answered directly.

"Nine … keep bragging."

The Scarlet Flame King was frightened by Chen Yu and chose not to believe him.

Chen Yu hadn't left for long. Even if he had the Heavenly Quiet Feather, it was impossible for him to reach the Nine-Star Realm and break through to the Mysterious Nether Realm in such a short time.

That night, Chen Yu went to Ye Luofeng's new residence.

Ye Luofeng was also a disciple of the Celestial Sect, and she was ranked first among all the new disciples. In the end, she was even accepted as a disciple by the Celestial Sect Master.

It was said that the Celestial Sect Master had paid a huge price to snatch the first place among the new disciples.

The next morning, Chen Yu glanced at Ye Luofeng beside him and got up to put on his clothes.

At that moment, the Celestial Sect Master sent a message to summon Chen Yu.

"I wonder if Master can see through my true cultivation."

Chen Yu thought to himself. The fact that his cultivation had reached the mid-stage of the Mysterious Nether Realm was still too shocking.
