Chapter 409

In less than a day, news of Zi Chen's deeds had spread throughout Cangli City. Obviously, this had caused another huge uproar and caused an uproar.

Zi Chen, who should have died two years ago, miraculously survived and became a Zephyr Realm expert. His strength became stronger, and he killed many Zephyr Realm experts of the Cang and Li families with his own strength. Among them, a late Zephyr Realm expert was killed by Zi Chen himself, and several more died when they used all their trump cards.

The losses were extremely heavy.

This made the two families, who had not recovered their strength, even worse. They failed to establish their prestige and became a laughing stock again.

However, while the crowd was amazed, there were also many people who were curiously guessing that Zi Chen hadn't died in the past because he had obtained a Saint's inheritance. Now, he was able to fight opponents two levels higher than him, and he even had the ability to kill them. Zi Chen's powerful battle prowess was terrifying.

The Spirit Origin Realm had four levels, early, middle, late, and peak, which were equivalent to the True Energy Realm's nine levels. Each level represented three levels, and the peak of the Spirit Origin Realm was equivalent to the peak of the Ninth Level.

Zi Chen could kill a late Zephyr Realm expert with his early Zephyr Realm strength, which was equivalent to a True Energy Realm expert killing a True Energy Realm expert of the Ninth Level. His strength was shocking.

Moreover, the difference between each level of the Zephyr Realm was huge. Zi Chen could fight people above his level, which inevitably made people wonder if he had obtained the Saint's inheritance.

The Cang and Li families suffered heavy losses and were very unwilling to accept it, so they formed the Zhan Chen Alliance again and invited other forces to join, threatening to kill Zi Chen and obtain the Saint's inheritance.

However, when the news came out, there was no response. All the forces chose to remain silent, including the Martial Ancestor, the Chu family, the Geng family, and the Zhu family.

Back then, all of Zi Chen's great enemies had chosen to remain silent.

Now, Zi Chen had grown to the point where he could kill a late Zephyr Realm expert at will. In the outside world, who could suppress him? Naturally, masters could, and late Zephyr Realm experts with elixir weapons could.

However, how many Sovereigns could there be in a force? As for alchemy soldiers, there was no need to even think about it. In this region where resources were scarce, the number of alchemy soldiers was even less than that of Sovereigns.

Thinking back to the time when Su Long killed the Martial Ancestor, who had been a Martial Ancestor for many years, he didn't even have a suitable Pill Weapon.

Therefore, the two families were bound to be shut out.

Several years had passed, and Zi Chen was no longer the same as before. Now, he had grown into a true powerhouse in this area. Unless someone barged into their territory again, no one could kill him in the outside world.

It was better to avoid unnecessary trouble. None of the major forces wanted to stir up trouble, and they couldn't afford to provoke Zi Chen either.

The matter had come to an end. The Cang and Li Families had suffered heavy losses, but they had no choice but to swallow this bitter fruit. As long as the other forces didn't make a move, they wouldn't dare to send experts to hunt down Zi Chen.

Zi Chen was already strong enough to make them tremble. Now, what they needed to do was pray that Zi Chen had an accident and died outside.

Otherwise, when Zi Chen grew into a Martial Ancestor, it would be the end of the world for the major forces.

As the person involved, Zi Chen was heading towards the Floating Mist Sect. Now that this matter was over, he wanted to see Su Mengyao before he left. Back in the ruins, Wanderer Misty had given Zi Chen the correct route and marked out the location of the Floating Mist Sect.

"Squeak squeak." The Devil Ape was very excited and kept jumping around.

Zi Chen's display of powerful battle skills in Cang Li City had caused a sensation. Two of his kills were related to the little guy, but no one knew.

Looking at the little guy, Zi Chen was filled with emotions.

In the Holy Burial Ground, it had almost scared him and Old Mo half to death. At that time, Zi Chen had thought that it was a guy with ulterior motives who wanted to throw it away.

But after entering the colorful door of light, Zi Chen realized how terrifying the little guy was. It had saved Zi Chen's life several times.

It could be said that if it wasn't for the little guy, Zi Chen would have died in the colorful door of light even if he didn't die from the pill weapons.

Over there, Zi Chen witnessed a series of inconceivable scenes.

He saw a demonic shadow that was hundreds of meters tall. It was like a living creature, emitting a powerful aura. He saw glowing skeletons, all of which were transformed from human experts. Corpses were everywhere.

Inside the colorful door of light was also a battlefield, but those who died were all unparalleled experts. Even after countless years of death, their skeletons were still glowing.

The powerful aura made Zi Chen and Old Mo tremble. It was a trembling from the soul. The demonic shadow was like a living creature. The aura it emitted was even stronger than a Martial Ancestor, but the little guy wasn't afraid at all. Instead, it felt like it was in heaven.

Red light flashed in its eyes, and the Delusion-breaker Eye reappeared. Materialized light shot out of its eyes, piercing through all illusions. As it opened its mouth, a suction force appeared, and the demonic shadows collapsed into energy and were devoured by it.

The little guy was like the natural nemesis of the demonic shadows. Wherever it passed, no matter how powerful it was, it didn't dare to fight with the little guy. Under the Delusion-breaker Eye, they all exploded into energy and were devoured. Zi Chen could be said to have passed through it safely.

And he finally knew how the little guy grew and survived. It was completely the energy of the demonic shadows that provided it with everything.

Going all the way, he saw a ball of fire in the end. It emitted a sacred aura, but it didn't match the sacred aura at all. It was burning oil. To be precise, it wasn't oil, but a kind of blood that was shining brightly.

At the same time, Zi Chen also saw a lot of carvings next to it.

Burning the sacred fire with demonic blood.

In addition, Zi Chen also learned a shocking news from the ancient carvings.

Demonic blood was refined with the blood of foreign race experts. In addition to the blood essence of foreign race experts, it also contained the life force of foreign race experts. As long as the sacred fire wasn't extinguished, the Saint could be resurrected one day.

And the sacred fire ignited with demonic blood was like a spark of hope.

Zi Chen was extremely shocked, but then, something even more shocking happened. The token that Zi Chen had obtained flew into the air, then turned into a burning flame and slowly merged with the sacred fire.

In an instant, the sacred aura in the flame became stronger. At the same time, the life force became stronger, as if the flame was giving birth to a Saint.

Bypassing the sacred fire and walking to the end of the road, Zi Chen saw an ancient stone door. He tried everything, but couldn't open it.

Clearly, his journey had come to an end. Zi Chen suspected that behind the stone door was the burial place of the Saint. Unfortunately, he couldn't enter.

Next to the stone door, Zi Chen found carvings again. Following Elder Mo's translation, Zi Chen found that it wasn't about the resurrection of the Saint, but a very strange cultivation method.

It didn't cultivate the heart or the body, only the spirit.

This was a method to cultivate spiritual sense. It was very special. Although it was incomplete, it still shocked Zi Chen.

This was because the complete cultivation method recorded in the book would allow one to cultivate a perfect spiritual sense.

"Perfect spiritual sense, perfect constitution. This should be the second page of the Heavenly Book, but it's not complete. It's just a fragment."

Zi Chen slowly comprehended it. After two years, Zi Chen was sent to the outside world in a tremor.

"Squeak, squeak."

The little guy's cry pulled Zi Chen out of his memories. He saw its little finger pointing at the ground and gesticulating.

Zi Chen lowered his head and laughed involuntarily. It was actually a Violent Bear whose head had been smashed.

"Do you want me to roast it?" Zi Chen asked with a smile.

The little guy squeaked and jumped. It was so happy that its eyes narrowed.

After bringing the little guy out of the Saint's Burial Ground, Zi Chen gave it some roasted meat. The little guy was addicted to the taste of roasted meat.

After skillfully cutting and cleaning, Zi Chen set up a fire to roast the meat. Soon, the aroma of meat wafted out.

The Floating Mist Sect was located in the northern part of this area. It was a very mysterious place.

To be precise, this place was no longer within the territory of the seven major cities and three major sects. It was the true southern region.

Very few people came and went here. Even the sect disciples rarely went out. It was an isolated sect, just like the Moon Pavilion.

Following the correct route, Zi Chen arrived at the Floating Mist Sect a month later.

From afar, he saw the towering mountain gate covered in fog. This fog was the Floating Mist Sect's protection battle. Zi Chen didn't force his way in.

"Rogue cultivator Zi Chen is here to pay a visit to the Drifting Mist Sect."

After standing outside the fog for a long time and not hearing the voice of the Floating Mist Sect's disciples, Zi Chen opened his mouth. His clear voice passed through the thick fog and entered the mountain gate.

But just like before, there was no response. It was as if this was an empty sect.

"Rogue cultivator Zi Chen is here to pay a visit to the Drifting Mist Sect." Zi Chen's voice echoed.

Zi Chen couldn't see anything from the outside. But within the Floating Mist Sect, Zi Chen's words had already caused a huge commotion.

"What? Zi Chen is here?"

"Isn't he dead?"

"Damn it. Is it this toad that made Junior Sister Mengyao sad?"

"This guy's life is really tough. The news of his death was all fake."

Although Zi Chen hadn't come to the Floating Mist Sect before, his reputation had already spread. However, it wasn't because of his glorious battle achievements, but because Su Mengyao often mentioned his name. This made many Senior Brothers remember this hateful name.

"Two years ago, there was a rumor that he died. Junior Sister Mengyao was heartbroken. Who would've thought that he was actually faking his death? How despicable."

"Let the toad in. Let us teach him a lesson for Junior Sister Mengyao."

"That's right. We also want to see what this toad looks like. He actually made Junior Sister Mengyao unable to forget him."

Many disciples had already gathered at the mountain gate. They all looked to be in their twenties. Each of them had outstanding talent and heroic spirit. Moreover, they all came from the sky. Clearly, their talent wasn't ordinary.

At this moment, each of them was filled with powerful battle intent.

Back when the Drifting Mist Sect had brought Su Mengyao back, the white-robed Su Mengyao's temperament was outstanding. She had instantly become a goddess in the hearts of many Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers. But unfortunately, this goddess already had someone in her heart. This caused many Senior Brothers' hearts to break.

Zi Chen naturally didn't expect that before he even entered, he had already provoked the dissatisfaction of so many Floating Mist Sect disciples. And before that, he also had another name.

"This isn't good. He came to find Master. He's also Junior Sister Mengyao's sweetheart. If they fight, wouldn't it be ugly?" said an older Senior Brother.
