Chapter 880

After killing the enemy, Zi Chen left the place under the shocked gazes of the crowd. Tyrant and the others followed closely behind him. The leaders who were prepared to discuss how to break the seal were also left behind until Zi Chen's figure completely disappeared.

Zi Chen's battle prowess was obviously getting stronger and stronger. In a one on one battle, almost no one dared to say that they could suppress him. At this moment, Zi Chen had left, leaving the leaders standing there, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

"It seems like Zi Chen is still very concerned about the previous incident. We should think of a way to break the seal ourselves." The Sword Ninja said with a sigh.

Two months ago, they didn't stop the others from breaking the seal. They even hinted at Zi Chen from breaking the seal. Now that Zi Chen had finished, it was obviously unrealistic for them to ask him to break the seal.

But in the underground world, a powerful Zi Chen had appeared. This made them, the leaders, extremely passive. Obviously, Zi Chen's appearance here was enough to suppress them. As the leaders of the Great Five Alliance, they should be the ones in the limelight, but because of Zi Chen, they were suppressed.

Zi Chen left without saying goodbye, completely disregarding them. Naturally, they were unhappy, but before the two sides shed all pretense of cordiality, they couldn't say anything.

"Where are we going?" Tyrant asked as soon as they were out of sight.

"Let's find a safe place to familiarize ourselves with the Xiantian techniques." Zi Chen said calmly.

"The ninth seal is very difficult to break. They are in trouble, so they suddenly appeared here to discuss this matter with you." Su Mengyao suddenly said.

"There is no need to rush. These people are all blessed by the heavens. If they can't get something, they won't let others get it. This time, we took the initiative to give up the inheritance of the Xiantian techniques. If we didn't, a battle would definitely break out. So, we need to improve our battle prowess as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will be besieged by everyone just because we obtained something." Zi Chen said.

Zi Chen's group was too strong, so strong that it made all the forces fear them. Once a dispute arose because of benefits, the first to be attacked would be Zi Chen's group.

The group found a relatively remote place, and Zi Chen continued to practice the two Innate Stage techniques.

Now, Zi Chen had six Connate techniques. He had the Perfect Body Connate Strength technique, Heavenly Thunder Seal, Nine Lightning Deaths, Sky-Splitting Spear Art, and Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang.

Among the six Xiantian Techniques, the one that Zi Chen was most familiar with was the Strength Technique. Like the Nine Passing Thunderbolts and the Heavenly Thunder Seal, the other Xiantian Techniques were even worse. He had just comprehended the Yin Yang Technique. Although he had the foundation of the Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang Techniques, it was still considered a beginner level technique. As for the Sky-Piercing Spear Art, Zi Chen hadn't had the time to comprehend it yet.

So after calming himself down, Zi Chen decided to properly comprehend these Xiantian Techniques to increase his own power. He didn't know if it was just a misconception, but Zi Chen had a feeling that the following trip to the underground world would be filled with danger.

Sitting cross-legged, Zi Chen instantly used his Yin and Yang clones. These two clones were in charge of practicing the Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang techniques. They were formed from pure Yin and Yang energy, so they were extremely suited for the Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang techniques. As for Zi Chen's true body, it was in charge of practicing the Sky-Splitting Spear Art.

During this time, Tyrant and Su Mengyao were also familiarizing themselves with the Xiantian Techniques they had just comprehended. As for Barbarian Dragon, Longhu, and the others, they were guarding outside, not allowing anyone to enter.

The restrictions on the ninth layer were very difficult to break. There were all kinds of obstructions, and Xiantian experts were injured almost every day.

In the Martial Heaven Continent, the ninth layer was a kind of peak. It was very likely that this trip to the underground world would end at the ninth layer. And the things on the ninth layer were clearly even more precious. There might even be more precious treasures and techniques.

In order to enter the ninth layer, all the Xiantian experts were working hard.

Another half a month passed, but there were no signs of the restrictions being broken. If this continued, let alone half a month, even half a year might not be enough to break the restrictions.

Continuing like this wasn't a solution. The leaders of the various powers gathered to discuss how to break the restrictions.

"If we can't break the restrictions, then we can only find Zi Chen. He should have a way," said one of the leaders.

"Find Zi Chen."

The sword ninja bitterly smiled. "Zi Chen might have a way, but he'll have to be willing to help. It's not like you didn't see what happened last time. After Zi Chen finished comprehending the Xiantian Techniques, he immediately killed that Xiantian expert who had provoked him. That was clearly a warning."

Huo Si nodded. "Last time, we truly were lacking in consideration. But this time, we can take the initiative to offer a bit more reward. It can count as making it up to Zi Chen."

The leader of the Tyrannical Dao Clan also said, "That's right. Zi Chen will definitely enter the ninth layer. If we give him the resources to break the restrictions, he should agree. After all, these resources are earned for free. He has no reason to refuse."

"We can try, but I don't think the chances are high."

In the end, the group discussed, and the sword ninja led the two leaders to find Zi Chen to discuss.

For the powers that had been paying attention to Zi Chen, it wasn't hard to find Zi Chen's location.

The sword ninja led the two people there, but they were stopped by Lei Ming from far away. Zi Chen was cultivating, and the two clones were his trump cards. He didn't allow others to spy on them.

"Lei Ming, we're here to discuss something with Brother Zi Chen." Looking at Lei Ming, the sword ninja cupped his hands.

"I'm sorry, but you came at the wrong time. Zi Chen is cultivating in seclusion," Lei Ming said from afar.

"Lei Ming, I have something to discuss with Zi Chen," the sword ninja said again.

Lei Ming smiled faintly and said, "Before Zi Chen entered seclusion, he said that he wants to break through to the late Primal Core realm. No one is allowed to disturb him. Even if you have something important to discuss, you can only wait for Zi Chen to come out."

"Break through to the late Primal Core realm?" The sword ninja's expression changed immediately. The two people beside him were the same.

Zi Chen was already able to kill a Xiantian realm cultivator when he was at the mid Primal Core realm. Once he entered the late Primal Core realm, his battle strength would be even greater. At that time, Zi Chen would be an uncontrollable existence.

The sword ninja didn't see Zi Chen in the end. When the three returned, Huo Si and the others asked.

"This is too much. When we went there, Zi Chen actually didn't come out. He said that he was in seclusion to fool us. This time, we didn't even see his face. What's there to discuss?" one of the leaders said angrily.

"What? You didn't even see his face? This Zi Chen is actually so arrogant. He didn't even give face to a faction." Tu Luo glared.

The sword ninja's expression became serious. He said, "Lei Ming said that Zi Chen is in seclusion to break through to the next realm. I don't know if it's true or not. If it's false, then Zi Chen is indeed arrogant. But if it's true, then it's troublesome."

The other leaders' expressions became more serious when they heard this.

Golden Flame's expression became gloomy. "Whether it's true or not, it's bad news for us."

Huo Si said, "This Zi Chen's battle strength is already so terrifying at the mid Primal Core realm. Once he breaks through to the late Primal Core realm, he'll be able to sweep through everything. If we really wait until he breaks through to the ninth layer, then we won't have the advantage anymore."

Everyone's expression became extremely ugly. Clearly, Zi Chen's existence was a threat to them.

Everyone fell silent. That silence lasted for a long time.

Huo Si from the Huo Clan had a very bad temper. As his expression changed, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He said coldly, "Zi Chen is indeed a threat. However, if he knows what's good for him, I can let him leave with his harvest. If not, even if he breaks through to the late stage of the Core Realm, he will have to stay here forever."

When the others heard this, their expressions immediately changed. Golden Flame looked at Fire and said, "You mean …"

Huo Si nodded heavily. A vicious light flashed in his eyes. "Correct. To be able to suppress a Xiantian expert, Zi Chen is indeed very strong. But he's not the strongest."

Everyone fell silent once more. The reason the five elements families were able to control the Martial Heaven Alliance and become a peak power wasn't because they had many Xiantian experts, nor was it because they had many inheritances. It was because they had other experts.

The five of them were the leaders of this trip to the ancient path, but they weren't the leaders of their entire families.

These five families had true experts overseeing them. It was just that they disdained to come out for something like this.

In the end, Golden Flame said, "Inviting him out is the final step. Unless it's absolutely necessary, there's no need to do this. But that's for later. Let's first find Zi Chen to discuss the reward for breaking the seal. You can give him any reward as long as it's within our range. If he takes the initiative to ask for it, and it's not within our range, we can agree. We'll give him a portion first and the rest later."

Everyone could hear the iciness in Golden Flame's words. The sword ninja said, "But Zi Chen is in seclusion. How are we supposed to see him?"

Golden Flame said, "There's no need to see Zi Chen. That monk is also fine. He's even greedier than Zi Chen, but he's also easier to talk to."

The next day, the sword ninja once more brought people over. They were once more stopped by Lei Ming, but this time, the sword ninja wanted to see the monk.

The monk quickly appeared.

"What do you need me for?"

"We want to invite you to break the seal. As for the reward, you can name it," said the sword ninja directly.

"Oh, name it." The monk's eyes brightened.

"Of course." The sword ninja nodded.

"If I want each of you to give me a Xiantian technique, you'll be willing."

The sword ninja was stunned, thinking that the monk was indeed greedy. He smiled faintly. "It's within what we can afford."

The monk laughed. "Good, I'll cut to the chase. One thousand drops of liquefied origin essence per person. Remember, it has to be high-grade."

"Deal." The sword ninja immediately agreed, then asked, "When do you want to break the seal?"

"In two months," said the monk.

"But if you can break the seal on your own within two months, we'll forget about the reward."

The sword ninja nodded, then returned to inform them of the negotiation.

Naturally, they couldn't break the seal in two months. When the time was almost up, the sword ninja sent the monk more than ten thousand drops of high-grade liquefied origin essence.

Two months had passed, and Zi Chen's group appeared outside the seal.

Just like last time, Zi Chen used the same method to break the seal, but this time, even Zi Chen encountered resistance.

After five or six attempts, Zi Chen finally broke the seal.

With a surge of energy, the seal was broken, but Zi Chen didn't immediately lead people forward. Instead, he stood there in a daze.

After the restriction was broken, several hundred rays of light swept past Leader Zi Chen and entered the world of the ninth level.
