《Fantasy Talent Tree: Cultivation For 20 Years In Prison》 Chapter 1 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Name: Yu Chen Gender: Male Age: Sixteen Identity: Core disciple of the Hunyuan Sect Crime: Stole the Authentic Mental Cultivation Technique from the Hunyuan Sect¡± In the interrogation room, the judge asked, ¡°You will be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison for 500 years. Do you have any objections?¡± Below, Yu Chen looked confused. What happened? He transmigrated? Inherited memories slowly flowed into Yu Chen¡¯s brain. If not for the fact that the occasion did not allow it, Yu Chen would definitely have cursed. According to his memory, this was a fantasy world. The almighty covered the sky and stirred the clouds with a single hand. The Emperor seized the lands and ruled the world. However, the original host was a core disciple of the Hunyuan Sect. Because he angered the Saint, he was framed for stealing the Authentic Mental Cultivation Technique. He was thus sentenced to 500 years in prison. Yu Chen raised his head, revealing his slightly delicate face. He said helplessly, ¡°Would you believe me if I said that I was wronged and that I was a good person?¡± The judge sneered. ¡°Despicable acting. Take him away.¡± ¡­ The prison guard took Yu Chen somewhere and pushed him toward the long line. He was the last in line. These people were dressed in prison clothing, just like Yu Chen. Yu Chen finally got a moment to breathe and quickly recalled. The cultivators of this world would develop something called the Talent Tree. The cultivation levels were also simply divided into ten major realms. There were also ten minor levels in each major realm. With every increase in cultivation level, the Talent Tree would automatically light up a talent point to increase the various attributes of the cultivators. As someone who lived on earth, Yu Chen was quite interested in such magical things. So he held his breath, focused, and activated his Talent Tree. Then, Yu Chen realized something strange. The original host was originally on level five in the First Cultivation Realm and had automatically lit up five talent points. However, in front of Yu Chen, his Talent Tree was not lit up. Instead, he had five unallocated Talent Points. ¡®What happened?¡¯ ¡®I thought they said it would be automatically distributed?¡¯ Yu Chen tentatively clicked on the talent point called ¡®Genius¡¯. As a result, his talent was really lit up! [Genius ¨C Low-grade: Cultivation speed doubled.] ¡°Gasp¡­¡± Yu Chen¡¯s eyes lit up with joy. Could this be the benefit of being a transmigrator? Other people¡¯s talent points were completely random. Moreover, they had to acquire some useless talent first before they could acquire high-level talent. However, Yu Chen could directly choose any talent. The Talent Tree had a total of 8,208,000 Talent Points, and there were only a few powerful talents. Ordinary people would be extremely lucky to light one up. But when it came to Yu Chen, there was a chance to light them all up. Yu Chen soon realized that the low-grade ¡®Genius¡¯ talent could still be lit up. The next level was medium-grade. His cultivation speed would increase by ten times. Now, Yu Chen still had four talent points. At this rate, he would be able to max out his ¡®Genius¡¯ talent. In other words, the ¡®Absolute Genius¡¯. His cultivation speed would increase by ten thousand times! At the thought of this, Yu Chen was feeling secretly delighted when his attention was attracted by a wail. ¡°Howl~~Woo~~¡± Just now, Yu Chen was only following the team without really knowing what they were doing. Yu Chen stuck his head out of the group and took a look. He immediately gasped. Good God, look at what was happening at the head of the line. A humanoid creature that was charred black and dripping with blood lay on the ground, twitching. It even let out a terrifying roar. Seeing this, the other prisoners watched in horror. It turned out that this was a process one had to go through before going to prison. It was called ¡®Punishment¡¯. The goal was to make the prisoners remember pain and repent for their sins. Yu Chen felt his scalp tingle and his heart trembled. As a young man who lived in a peaceful era, when had Yu Chen ever seen such a situation? Besides, it was all very well for the other criminals. After all, they might really have done something despicable. But Yu Chen was different. He had been wronged!! ¡°Wait a minute! I was wronged!¡± At that moment, one of the prisoners raised his hand and shouted shakily. However, his tongue was forcefully pulled out by the prison guard. The scene was extremely terrifying. The prison guard sneered. ¡°Everyone here has been wronged! Scum!¡± Yu Chen was speechless. The other prisoners were also trembling in fear. Yu Chen watched as the prison guard tossed the prison uniform to the charred prisoner. His actions were forceful. Smack! The prison uniform stuck to the melted skin, causing this person to roar again. This person remained alive because of the life-saving medicine he had taken before the punishment began. Then, without giving the prisoner a chance to breathe, the prison guard chased him away with a steel fork. The prisoner had no choice but to get up and take two steps, but he realized that the soles of his feet had fallen off, revealing white bones¡­ The burnt and fishy smell seemed to have intensified. Yu Chen stood in the group, his eyebrows twitching in shock. ¡®Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t!¡¯ Was he about to experience this horror? However, it was too late to cry out for justice now. As the line moved forward, it was soon about to be Yu Chen¡¯s turn. The rest of the prisoners were in worse shape than Yu Chen. Some were so frightened that they peed their pants and collapsed to the ground. And all Yu Chen could do now was to light some talent. ¡®Right! Lighting talent!¡¯ Yu Chen activated the Talent Tree and quickly searched. In the Talent Tree, there should be a talent that granted immunity to fire. As time passed, the screams grew louder and louder. Yu Chen broke out in a cold sweat. Finally¡­ ¡°Next! Come here!¡± Seeing that there was no one left in front of him, Yu Chen suddenly felt despair. He slowed his footsteps down and walked over. The cold voice resounded again. ¡°Eat it!¡± A black pill was roughly sent into Yu Chen¡¯s mouth. The pill quickly melted in his mouth and transformed into energy that spread throughout Yu Chen¡¯s limbs. Then, Yu Chen was roughly stripped off of the prison uniform. ¡°Into the furnace!¡± Yu Chen naturally refused. In the end, he was picked up and thrown into the furnace. The terrifying heat wave stimulated Yu Chen¡¯s nerves crazily. When he heard the sound of machinery operating, Yu Chen¡¯s eyebrows twitched in shock. It hadn¡¯t even started, but Yu Chen could not take it anymore. When his skin touched the furnace, he already felt a shocking pain. At this moment, Yu Chen could not help but feel despair. He was just an ordinary corporate slave. Why did he have to go through such an unimaginable and cruel incident? It was as if he had broken the rules of heaven¡­ Although he was in despair, Yu Chen did not give up on finding a suitable talent in the Talent Tree. Finally, at the last moment. Yu Chen found a talent called ¡®Fire Immunity¡¯. He felt so excited that his hands were trembling. Yu Chen clicked the fire immunity talent, but realized that it did not completely grant him fire immunity. After lighting the talent up, Yu Chen acquired the most basic ¡®Fire Immunity¡¯ talent. [Fire Immunity ¨C Low-grade: Immune to 90% fire.] Although he was only 90% immune, Yu Chen was still relieved. However, he still underestimated the horror of the ¡®Punishment¡¯ process. In just a moment, Yu Chen was covered in severe burns. Suppressing his fear, Yu Chen clicked on the ¡®Fire Immunity¡¯ talent again. [Fire Immunity ¨C Medium-grade: Immune to 99% fire.] He now only felt one percent of the pain. Instantly, Yu Chen felt much more relaxed. But¡­ as time passed, he still couldn¡¯t withstand it. The temperature in the furnace kept rising, and flames shot in from all directions, baking Yu Chen. These flames were not ordinary flames. This was the true fire of a cultivator! He had no choice but to continue to light up the talent¡­ [Fire Immunity ¨C High-grade: Immune to 99.9% fire.] After clicking on the ¡®Fire Immunity¡¯ talent a few times, Yu Chen heaved a sigh of relief. He was bathed in true fire, but it was as relaxing as taking a warm bath. Chapter 2 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios At this moment, the medicinal pill that Yu Chen had swallowed previously also took effect. It almost instantly healed Yu Chen¡¯s burns. In the furnace filled with flames, Yu Chen couldn¡¯t help but think of the guy who had caused him to come here. A young man with a calm and peaceful face appeared in his mind, and Yu Chen could not help but feel disgusted. It turned out that the peaceful demeanor of the Saint was all an act. He could be said to be the perfect example of a human-faced beast. Soon, the ¡®Punishment¡¯ ended. The furnace door swung open. A steel fork reached in from outside. This was because prisoners who had been punished usually could not leave the furnace on their own. Therefore, someone needed to get the prisoner out with a steel fork. In order to avoid being stabbed by the steel fork, Yu Chen took the initiative to walk out. His appearance caused many prisoners to look at him enviously. It was good to have cultivation. He did not have to suffer so much pain. Yes, these prisoners thought of Yu Chen as a cultivator of the second realm. This was because only a cultivator on the second realm who was lucky enough to have a ¡®Fire Immunity¡¯ talent could be so calm under such terrifying flames. The prison guard holding the steel fork was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Yu Chen to be so relaxed. Then, he retracted the steel fork and threw Yu Chen¡¯s prison uniform back to him. After taking the clothes and putting them back on, Yu Chen heaved a sigh of relief. This difficulty was finally overcome. ¡°I can¡¯t take it anymore!¡± Suddenly, the sound of a prisoner breaking down could be heard. He had originally been standing behind Yu Chen. Now, it was his turn to enter the furnace. He clutched his head and backed away frantically. Seeing that no one was stopping him, he turned around and fled out of the prison. There was a flash of white light. The prisoner¡¯s feet were neatly cut off and he immediately fell to the ground, howling in terror. The white light returned the way it had come and turned into an exquisite dagger that floated above the palm of one of the prison guards. He spoke coldly. ¡°Send him into the furnace!¡± Yu Chen was shocked, but he was led away by the prison guard. However, it turned out that he was brought to a larger furnace. This was simply a small world. The ground was red-hot steel. The temperature was incredibly high. The prison guard was wearing an insulation suit, so he was fine. And Yu Chen did not feel very uncomfortable because he had ¡®Fire Immunity¡¯. At this moment, the prison guard began to tell Yu Chen some of the rules here. ¡°There are only two rules here.¡± ¡°First: Follow the rules. If you escape, your feet will be cut off.¡± ¡°Two: Do not die.¡± With that, the prison guard instructed Yu Chen flatly, ¡°So, if you can¡¯t stand it and want to commit suicide, you only have one chance. Otherwise, I¡¯ll definitely make you suffer.¡± Yu Chen walked on silently, ignoring him. At the same time, he felt even more resentful towards the so-called Saint of the Hunyuan Sect. Despite being an ordinary person, Yu Chen had experienced all this because of him. The reason was lame and ridiculous. Just because the Saintess looked at Yu Chen for a moment too long¡­ Finally, Yu Chen was brought to an iron cage. The iron cage was about ten meters tall and dozens of meters wide. Inside, there were prisoners with blank looks in their eyes. After being sent inside the iron cage, Yu Chen realized that the prisoners here were all in despair. The temperature here had reached a very shocking level. Ordinary people might not even be able to last for fifteen minutes. Compared to here, a sauna room was much cooler. After a long period in the baking heat, the prisoners reclined in their iron chairs, their eyes glassy. Some prisoners with low cultivation levels had even turned into a pile of rotten meat. Yu Chen¡¯s arrival went unnoticed. Yu Chen couldn¡¯t be bothered to think too much about it. He found a place with fewer people and sat down. Now, the most important thing was the remaining talent point. Now that Yu Chen had high-grade ¡®Fire Immunity¡¯, he was not afraid of the punishment here at all. If he wanted to leave this place, he would have to serve his sentence of five hundred years before he was released. Five hundred years? He can¡¯t wait that long! He¡¯s not a monkey! Theoretically speaking ¨C based on his current cultivation level ¨C Yu Chen¡¯s lifespan was only slightly more than 300 years. Moreover, Yu Chen was wronged. Therefore, he was definitely feeling indignant. Suddenly¡­ Yu Chen frowned and immediately sat cross-legged. After testing it out, Yu Chen was pleasantly surprised to find that he could actually cultivate here. This place also had spiritual power. Spiritual energy was needed to maintain the high temperature, so the spiritual energy here was quite dense. Although it could not compare to the secret cultivation rooms of the core disciples of the Hunyuan Sect, it was still much richer than the outside world. The prisoners here did not cultivate because they could not concentrate and enter a cultivation state under such punishment. But Yu Chen was different¡­ Thinking of this, Yu Chen activated the Talent Tree and used up the last talent point on ¡®Genius¡¯. [Genius ¨C Medium-grade: Cultivation speed increased by 10 times.] After lighting his talent, Yu Chen began to cultivate. At the same time, he made a mental estimate. The original host started cultivating at the age of twelve and reached the fifth-level on the First Realm before the age of sixteen. In other words, the original host had advanced five ranks in three and a half years. In other words, it would increase by one level every 250 days or so. Now that Yu Chen had ten times the cultivation speed, according to the rule that the difficulty of raising his cultivation level would not change within every ten levels, Yu Chen needed 25 days to increase his cultivation by one level. However, the original host cultivated in the secret cultivation room of the core disciples of the Hunyuan Sect. Therefore, it would probably take Yu Chen a month to level up. ¡®A month¡­ still a bit long.¡¯ Now, however, Yu Chen had no choice. ¡­ Soon, more than twenty days passed. Yu Chen finally knew the reason why the prisoners here had not died after experiencing such a gruesome burning. At the beginning of every month, the prison guard would feed the prisoner a life-saving pill. The effect of this life-saving pill was very good. It could provide nourishment for a month and allow the body to maintain an extremely high recovery speed. Therefore, this place was also called the World-weary Heavenly Prison. It was because the prisoners here could not die or live. The prisoners had to suffer at all times. This was the purpose of the prison! It was also the source of the ¡®world-weary¡¯ title. Another week passed, and Yu Chen perked up. His cultivation had broken through to the sixth-level of the First Cultivation Realm! The movement caused by a cultivation breakthrough instantly attracted the attention of the prisoners in the same cage. However, they were all extremely weak. They could only look at Yu Chen in extreme surprise and point at him with trembling hands. Seeing that Yu Chen was ¡®in perfect condition¡¯, they were even more shocked. It was important to note that they were all in a half-dead state. Even sitting up on their own was a difficult task. After all, their flesh was already completely stuck to the steel chair. If they rashly got up, the flesh would directly fall off¡­ What about Yu Chen? Not only did he look lively, but he could even cultivate. What was even more crazy was that Yu Chen had actually broken through a level! However, Yu Chen ignored the prisoners. At this point, Yu Chen couldn¡¯t be bothered. Now, he only wanted to quickly increase his cultivation and get out of this damn place. Although he was not suffering from the heat, this place was too torturous. Every day was either cultivation or cultivation. It was dull and boring. After all, if he did not cultivate, he could only stare off into space. Chapter 3 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios [Genius ¨C High-grade: Cultivation speed increased by 100 times.] A hundredfold cultivation speed could allow Yu Chen to break through a level once every three days. There were still more than twenty days until the next time the prison guards came. There was plenty of time. Even if these prisoners wanted to report Yu Chen, they would have to wait for more than twenty days. That¡¯s right. Prisoners here can report each other. Prisoners who reported other prisoners for cultivating or breaking the prison rules could have their sentence reduced by 10%. This was an incredible temptation for these prisoners. Fortunately, the prison guards who patrolled every day would not accept a report¡­ Plagued with these thoughts, Yu Chen cultivated day and night. ¡­ Two weeks later. Yu Chen¡¯s successive breakthroughs had already made the prisoners panic. In two weeks, he went through four breakthroughs. Is he even human? In fact, if there was a way to avoid these people, Yu Chen would definitely not show the speed of his cultivation to them. After breaking through four times, not only did he accumulate four talent points, but Yu Chen¡¯s Primordial Chaos Art had also reached the first bottleneck. The reason why he was not in a hurry to light the ¡®Genius¡¯ talent was because Yu Chen already had a plan in mind. If he wanted to break through, he had to find the next cultivation technique of the Primordial Chaos Art. In the Hunyuan Sect, the outer disciples learned the cultivation method of the Primordial Chaos Art until the third level of the first realm. Inner disciples learned until the fifth level of the first realm. Core disciples learned until the tenth level of the first realm, and true disciples learned until tenth level of the second realm. The Saint and the Saintess learned all of it. As a core disciple of the Hunyuan Sect, Yu Chen¡¯s mental cultivation technique could only be cultivated to the tenth level of the first realm. The second realm cultivation method that the Saint had pretended to give Yu Chen had also been taken back by the Hunyuan Sect¡¯s Law Enforcement Elder. However, Yu Chen was not the first person from the Hunyuan Sect to be sent in by the Saint. In Yu Chen¡¯s memory, he remembered that a fifth-level second-realm Hunyuan Sect elder had also been sent in because of some matters. Therefore, if Yu Chen wanted to obtain cultivation techniques beyond the first ten levels of the Primordial Chaos Art, he had to find this elder. There were hundreds of prisoners in this iron cage. Among these prisoners, there was no sign of the elder. Yu Chen was certain because he had personally asked. Moreover, how could that elder ¨C who was an expert in the fifth level of the second realm ¨C be like this group of people who were not even second realm experts? How could he be tortured to the point that he could not even raise his fingers? If Yu Chen wanted to walk out of the iron cage, he needed Talent Points to increase his strength. The iron cage was made of very strong materials. With only first-realm prisoners in the iron cage, it was impossible to break through it. Although Yu Chen had reached the tenth-level of the first realm and cultivated the Primordial Chaos Art, he could not move it at all. Activating the Talent Tree, Yu Chen looked at the Talent Points he had. [Genius ¨C High-grade: Cultivation speed increased by 100 times. Fire Immunity ¨C High-grade: Immune to 99.9% fire. Remaining Talent Points: 4] This was just like the ¡®system¡¯ in some invincible novels. Unfortunately, all cultivators had the Talent Tree System. Yu Chen¡¯s cheat allowed him to freely click on talent points. As for other people, they could only resign themselves to fate. Yu Chen got up and stretched. Crackle. Immediately, a popping sound came from his body. After consecutively breaking through four levels, Yu Chen¡¯s physique was much stronger than before. The Primordial Chaos Art also encountered its first major bottleneck. After stretching, Yu Chen came to the sides of the iron cage. Reaching out, he gripped the steel, which was bright red due to the high temperature. With the ¡®Fire Immunity¡¯ talent, Yu Chen was not afraid of heat. After gripping two iron bars tightly, Yu Chen began to exert force outwards. ¡°HA!¡± After trying, Yu Chen realized that with his current strength, he could not open it at all. Hence, Yu Chen clicked on the talent that he had found just now. [Strength God ¨C Low-grade: Strength doubled.] In an instant, Yu Chen felt his strength increase rapidly. At the same time, his body shape actually changed. Slight muscle formed on his body. With double the power, his attempts to force the cage open still ended in a failure! He continued to light the talent. [Strength God ¨C Medium-grade: Strength increased by 10 times.] Not long after, explosive muscle lines appeared on Yu Chen¡¯s body. Powerful muscles bulged on his limbs. It was a sharp visual impact. He continued his attempt¡­ Yu Chen gripped the iron bar tightly with both hands. Veins popped out and his face turned red. Creak The bars slowly moved with a sound of steel being deformed. But¡­ it wasn¡¯t enough! [Strength God ¨C High-grade: Strength increased by 100 times!] This time, Yu Chen¡¯s muscles did not expand again. Instead, they condensed a little. But magically, the muscles were harder, denser¡­ Finally, Yu Chen¡¯s body shape stopped changing. The well-proportioned muscles were just right, but they looked exceedingly hard. A hundredfold increase in strength! Although Yu Chen was only at the tenth-level of the first realm, with the enhancement of his talent, his strength was already very terrifying. After easily forcing open two iron bars, Yu Chen heaved a sigh of relief. The other prisoners in the iron cage looked at Yu Chen in horror. However, Yu Chen did not have time to care about these people. Now, according to Yu Chen¡¯s calculations, he still had about five hours before the prison guards came to patrol. Yu Chen turned around and pulled the iron bar back to its original position before leaving assuredly. Last time, he was being detained by the prison guards, so Yu Chen did not pay much attention to his surroundings. This time, Yu Chen had to observe carefully. When he looked up, he only saw a very low sky. The clouds seemed to be right above his head, and they were all bright red, giving off an extremely oppressive feeling. Furthermore, there was more than one iron cage. Yu Chen¡¯s iron cage was marked with the words First Realm Level Five. It seemed that all the first-stage fifth-grade cultivators had been thrown into this iron cage. However, as Yu Chen looked over, he realized that he was wrong. As far as Yu Chen could see, there were a total of eight iron cages marked with the words First Realm Level Five. The size was identical, but they all held many prisoners. As for the Hunyuan Sect elder that Yu Chen was looking for, his cultivation level was at the fifth level of the second realm level five when he was captured. Therefore, he should be trapped in the iron cage marked with the words Second Realm Level Five. Therefore, Yu Chen did not waste any more time and began to run. With his first realm level ten cultivation and the Primordial Chaos Art, Yu Chen¡¯s strength had increased tremendously. Therefore, Yu Chen¡¯s speed was extremely fast, and his figure turned into an afterimage. As time passed, Yu Chen passed by the iron cages marked with the words First Realm Level Five. Finally, he saw a First Realm Level Six iron cage. Although it was only one level higher than level five, the prisoners in the iron cage were in a much better state than the level five cultivators. Although they were also seriously injured, they were able to speak and were in a better state compared to the level five prisoners. After seeing Yu Chen, they all went into a frenzy. How many years had it been? What could be more exciting than seeing a prisoner strut outside? The excited prisoners began to roar in a frenzy. ¡°Howl ~¡± ¡°Woohoo!!¡± ¡°Hehehehe~¡± For a moment, Yu Chen was extremely annoyed. It was as if he was at a zoo. At this moment, Yu Chen couldn¡¯t help but think of a certain poem: The monkeys on both sides of the river can¡¯t stop crying¡­ However, despite all his calculations, Yu Chen still missed something. He didn¡¯t have 5 hours away before the prison guards went on a patrol. Instead, he had 5 hours before they were scheduled to patrol to the iron cage where Yu Chen was supposed to be in! Speak of the devil. As Yu Chen was running wildly, a prison guard walked over¡­ Chapter 4 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The prison guard¡¯s surprise only lasted half a second when he saw Yu Chen. Then, he drew the saber from his waist and ordered Yu Chen, ¡°Get back to your cage!¡± At the same time, specks of starlight appeared around the prison guard. When cultivators fought ¨C as they produced spiritual power ¨C the Talent Tree that they had already lit up would appear around them in the form of starlight. The starlight was faint, but extremely mysterious. Nine streaks of starlights spread out in the shape of a person and floated around the prison guard. The nine starlight rays represented his cultivation level of first realm level nine. Of course, it could also be level eight. This was because if the Talent Tree automatically lit up the same talent, only eight stars would be shown. Starlight from a medium-grade talent was even more gorgeous and enigmatic than the starlight from a low-grade talent. However, it wasn¡¯t so easy to acquire a medium-grade talent. The Talent Tree had more than eight million Talent Points. There was only a one in eight million chance of obtaining a medium-grade talent. Yu Chen observed the prison guard¡¯s strength. Then, instead of retreating, he took a step forward. ¡°Primordial Chaos Art!¡± Yu Chen¡¯s palm faced down and formed a fist. The Primordial Chaos Art was a cultivation technique that could nimbly transmute cultivation between the physical body and spiritual power. Cultivators who cultivated the Primordial Chaos Art were usually able to use it to turn their spiritual power cultivation into a certain percentage of their physical cultivation in close combat. In long-range battles, he could also use the Primordial Chaos Art to turn his physical cultivation into a certain percentage of spiritual power cultivation. It could be said that the Primordial Chaos Art was a cultivation technique specially created to allow cultivators to adapt to more varied battles. Due to the enhancement of the ¡®Strength God¡¯, Yu Chen¡¯s physical cultivation had already reached a very terrifying realm. As he used the Primordial Chaos Art, Yu Chen could clearly sense that his physical cultivation had increased by another level. It wasn¡¯t much, but it was better than nothing. At the same time, three bright lights floated above Yu Chen¡¯s head. They were not arranged in a specific order and did not seem to affect each other. When the prison guard saw Yu Chen¡¯s talent tree, his pupils constricted violently. High-grade talent! Three of them! Three high-grade talents! Gulp ~ The prison guard swallowed and looked at the three lights above Yu Chen¡¯s head in fear. The prisoners around them watched as both sides prepared for battle. The prisoners also stared at Yu Chen¡¯s three talents and discussed among themselves. But more of the prisoners began to howl. ¡°Kill this guard! Send him to hell!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t¡­ don¡¯t kill him. Take off his insulation suit and lock him in a second realm cultivator¡¯s cage!¡± ¡°Hehe, haha~ That¡¯s right. Yes, that¡¯s it. It¡¯s¡­ it¡¯s your turn to be humiliated~ Hehehe~¡± ¡°High-grade talent¡­ hehehe¡­ It¡¯s actually a high-grade talent. And there are three of them. Could he be the illegitimate son of the heavens?¡± ¡°I¡¯m so jealous¡­ If only I had such good luck¡­¡± The hysterical prisoners attempted to command Yu Chen to fight. Unfortunately, Yu Chen ignored them. Yu Chen did not dare to be careless in his first battle. He knew that now was not the time to show any mercy. If he did not kill the prison guard, the consequences would be worse than death. Taking a step forward, Yu Chen bent his knees slightly. Bang! A crater appeared in the ground as Yu Chen stepped on it. He rushed towards the prison guard at an unbelievable speed. The prison guard stared at the concave ground, scared out of his wits. Yu Chen had three talents. Even if only one of those talents was a combat-type talent, it would be impossible for him to defeat Yu Chen. Moreover, the ground was made of Dark Steel. How could it be damaged by Yu Chen? The prison guard trembled and instinctively raised his saber towards Yu Chen. However, his strength also provided Yu Chen with a lot of speed. A hand reached out and grabbed the prison guard¡¯s blade. Then, Yu Chen exerted a little force, and the blade cracked inch by inch¡­ Bang! The prison guard¡¯s saber was directly damaged and scattered in all directions. Due to inertia, Yu Chen bumped into the prison guard¡¯s chest. They both flew backwards. Clang! They didn¡¯t stop until they hit the iron cage. The prison guard had lost consciousness at this point. He sat back on his heels, blood dripping from his mouth. Battle over, instant kill! Yu Chen also suffered a lot of backlash, and his body ached slightly. After taking two steps back, Yu Chen saw the unconscious prison guard. ¡®I¡¯m sorry. If I don¡¯t kill you, I¡¯ll suffer.¡¯ As a normal person, Yu Chen apologized in his heart. After all, he held no grudges towards the prison guard. Just now, Yu Chen had forced him to take action. Just as Yu Chen was about to find a way to dispose of the prison guard, something unexpected happened. Behind the prison guard, the iron cage with the words First Realm Level Nine suddenly rioted. Multiple terrifying hands reached out from inside the cage and grabbed the prison guard. Then¡­ Yu Chen looked at the scene in front of him. His face turned slightly pale. The prisoners, who had not eaten proper food for countless years, were actually tearing at the prison guard¡¯s body¡­ Looking at this gruesome scene, Yu Chen felt nauseous. He resisted the urge to kill and quietly retreated. Now, Yu Chen faced a critical problem. That was, Yu Chen did not have any talent or spell for perception. Having no perception equaled to having no eyes. Without eyes, he could not sense the location of the prison guard in advance. He would not be able to avoid the prison guard. There were more than eight million talents in the Talent Tree. It would take a long time to find a suitable talent for perception. He had no choice but to end this trip. Yu Chen thought to himself, ¡®Let¡¯s return to the cage first. Then, I¡¯ll search for a talent for perception. At the same time, let¡¯s wait for the storm to pass before taking action.¡¯ ¡­ In the Heavenly Prison, there was no sun. Outside the prison, the moon was bright. As one of the three superpowers on the continent, the Hunyuan Sect occupied the Xuanming Mountain Range on the east side of the map. Its territory was vast, and it had dozens of empires. The entire Xuanming Mountain Range was occupied by many palaces. Two figures stood at the top of a high cliff. One of them stood with his hands behind his back and looked down at the bustling Hunyuan Sect. This man was dressed in a white robe, his dark hair scattered behind him. His face was gentle like jade. He looked elegant and easygoing. ¡°Is that person dead?¡± Although the voice was gentle, his words were chilling. The subordinate standing behind Wang Yun replied with a smile, ¡°Lord Saint, Yu Chen has been sent to the Heavenly Prison for so long, and he¡¯s only a first realm level five cultivator. He¡¯s probably already melted or frozen.¡± Wang Yun frowned slightly and continued, ¡°Don¡¯t give me speculations. I want to hear the truth. ¡°He has to die! With him around, the fight for the Immortal will be delayed for a hundred years. I don¡¯t have the patience.¡± Moreover, Xiao Ling seemed to have a good impression of Yu Chen. This was the real reason why Wang Yun wanted to kill Yu Chen. The subordinate lowered his head and replied, ¡°The only thing I know is that Yu Chen was sent to the third level of the prison. As for whether or not he¡¯s still alive¡­¡± When Wang Yun heard this, he said in a low voice, ¡°The third level, the Melted Steel Purgatory, is not something that a mere first realm level five cultivator can withstand.¡± ¡°Be that as it may, we still have to be sure of his death.¡± ¡°But¡­ remember not to play tricks in the Heavenly Prison. Although he was the Saint of the Hunyuan Sect, the Heavenly Prison was not an ordinary place. It was not a place he could interfere in. ¡°Yes¡­ I¡¯ll investigate this matter right away.¡± Chapter 5 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios On one side, the enemy could not wait for Yu Chen to die. On the other side, Yu Chen was sitting cross-legged. He closed his eyes and began to cultivate, ignoring everything else. The news of the prison guard¡¯s disappearance had already spread throughout the Heavenly Prison. Now, Yu Chen had to wait for the commotion to die down before continuing his search for the Hunyuan Sect elder. Although he did not have a mental cultivation technique and could no longer break through, the act of cultivating could make his cultivation more solid and his foundation more stable. Yu Chen had also found a perception-type talent. [Psionic Perception ¨C Low-grade: Sense everything within the range of spiritual power.] ¡­ The Heavenly Prison had a total of 18 levels. The higher the level, the more terrifying the punishment. From the outside, the Heavenly Prison looked like a palm-sized pagoda. The eighteenth floor was enveloped in a red glow. The horrid smell of blood covered the entire prison. It turned out that the scarlet sky of the Heavenly Prison did not originate from the prison itself. It came from the mysterious mighty figure on the 18th level of the Heavenly Prison. At this moment, the eighteenth floor was desolate. Thousands of array formations worked together to seal one person. Sensing what was happening in the lower floors of the prison, that person seemed to be in an extremely good mood. A cold voice that was laced with the sound of extreme madness softly resounded. ¡°Hehe~ Interesting¡­¡± ¡°Can the Heavenly Prison really imprison a cultivator with three high-grade talents?¡± In the eighteenth-story warden¡¯s room, a giant who was several feet tall heard the voice and tensed. His voice roared like thunder as he shouted up to the eighteenth floor. ¡°Old ghost, after thousands of years, you finally can¡¯t stand the loneliness and start babbling?¡± ¡­ This wait lasted for a week. Yu Chen was in the Melted Steel Purgatory. Although he was not suffering from the heat, he was not doing well. The surrounding temperature gradually stirred Yu Chen¡¯s impetuous thoughts. His patience was about to run out. A month later, Yu Chen discovered that the prison guards¡¯ patrols were starting to return to normal. That was when he knew he had not been discovered. The hungry prisoners had swallowed the prison guard whole, leaving not even his bones behind. How could they find him? Thinking of this, Yu Chen looked at the figure of the prison guard who was walking away and decided to start moving today. There was no day or night here. It was almost impossible to feel the passage of time. Under such circumstances, days felt like years. Yu Chen did not dare to imagine how the prisoners without ¡®Fire Immunity¡¯ survived. After the prison guard left, Yu Chen forced open the cage again and walked out. ¡­ With his ¡®Psionic Perception¡¯ talent, Yu Chen could avoid the passing prison guards in advance. Just like that, Yu Chen safely passed by the place where he met the prison guard last time and arrived outside the iron cage where the second realm cultivators were held. Every time a cultivator broke through a realm, there would be a world of difference. However, the second-realm cultivators were not in a good state. As Yu Chen stepped into the holding cell of the second-realm cultivators, he felt terrifying waves of heat that were shockingly hot. It turned out that the cage of a second realm cultivator was many times hotter than that of a first realm cultivator. Yu Chen, who had a high-grade ¡®Fire Immunity¡¯ talent also felt extremely hot. In just a short while, he was sweating profusely. At the same time, the cage that imprisoned the second realm cultivators also changed from a semi-sealed iron cage to a completely sealed iron cage. The temperature in the iron cage was definitely higher, and there were only a few small holes to provide oxygen¡­ It was hard to die here, and even harder to survive. The origin of the name world-weariness was well deserved. Yu Chen walked between the iron cages that imprisoned the second realm cultivators. At the same time, he began to scan his surroundings with ¡®Psionic Perception¡¯. When two cultivators who cultivated the Primordial Chaos Art met, they could sense that the other party had also cultivated the same cultivation technique. This was also a way for the Hunyuan Sect to distinguish between friend and foe. Yu Chen walked for an unknown period of time but he could not find the Hunyuan Sect elder. Only when he reached the cage where the third realm cultivators were imprisoned did Yu Chen stop. In the cage where the third realm cultivators were imprisoned, a formation that restricted spiritual power was set up on the ground. This was also to prevent third realm cultivators from using their cultivation to resist the temperature. A third realm cultivator? Yu Chen stood weakly at the intersection of the second and third realm. He looked up at the crimson clouds and felt despair. He searched through the cages of the second realm cultivators but could not find an elder of the Hunyuan Sect. Could it be that the elder of the Hunyuan Sect was already dead? If he died, Yu Chen would lose the chance to obtain the next cultivation technique of the Primordial Chaos Sect. Then¡­ he could only stay at the tenth-level of the first realm for eternity with no way to break through. In other words, Yu Chen had to be imprisoned here for 500 years?? Yu Chen was indignant. As he clenched his fists, he hated the person who sent him in even more. This place was hell. Sending people in here was worse than killing them outright. After hesitating for a long time, Yu Chen knew that he couldn¡¯t stay there forever. He could only return to his cage first. As for his cultivation, he still needed to think of a way. However, when Yu Chen turned around, he saw a black mass of prison guards waiting there. Yu Chen was speechless. Although Yu Chen knew that he was invincible among his peers, he was helpless against so many prison guards. In addition, there were even second realm cultivators among these prison guards. ¡­ Although Yu Chen tried his best to resist, he was no match for them. Finally, the injured Yu Chen collapsed. He felt groggy, and his body, which had been through a life-and-death battle, was exhausted to the extreme. In his daze, Yu Chen heard the prison guards talking. ¡°He intended to escape. Cut off both his feet.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not right. If he wanted to escape, he should have fled in the direction of the lower ranked cages. He wasn¡¯t escaping.¡± ¡°Well¡­ I suppose that¡¯s true.¡± ¡°So what do we do?¡± ¡°Check his cultivation level and send him to the Frozen Hell.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. From his relaxed manner, I¡¯d say he has the gift of being immune to fire spirits.¡± ¡°He¡¯s immune to fire spiritual power, but I wonder if he¡¯s immune to other things~¡± ¡°To be able to escape from his cage proves that he has extraordinary power.¡± ¡°So we have to give him a shackle to limit his power¡­¡± ¡­ Cold ¡­ So cold¡­ When he woke up again, Yu Chen could not sense where his body was. Yu Chen tried to sense his body, but to no avail. He raised his hand and saw that his arm was covered in frost¡­ ¡°This place is ¡­¡± Yu Chen¡¯s mind was frozen. He slowly recalled what had happened before he lost consciousness. Thinking of the conversation between the prison guards, Yu Chen felt uneasy. It seemed that the furnace was not the only punishment in this prison. Yu Chen could not move his body to sit up and could only use his spiritual perception. Based on his perception, he was inside a first realm level ten cage. And his surroundings had changed dramatically. What had been a furnace was now a world of ice and snow. What made Yu Chen even more concerned was that there were two iron rings on his left and right arms. These two iron rings were not ordinary items. There was an array formation inside that restricted power. Yu Chen felt extremely weak now. Before, he felt so powerful that he could beat a cow to death. In an instant, he turned into being so weak that his legs were trembling. Fortunately, the Primordial Chaos Art could still be used. ¡°Primordial Chaos Art¡­¡± Yu Chen endured the endless coldness and began to use the Primordial Chaos Art. Little by little, Yu Chen¡¯s physical cultivation was transformed into a certain proportion of spiritual power cultivation. After he was done, Yu Chen¡¯s spiritual power cultivation instantly increased by over 30 times. Under the enhancement of such terrifying spiritual power cultivation, the spiritual power began to nourish Yu Chen¡¯s body, relieving and resisting the cold. The surrounding chill became fainter and fainter. After resting for a while, Yu Chen recovered. When he regained his senses, Yu Chen sat up and stretched. Around them, dozens of curled-up prisoners were not awakened by Yu Chen¡¯s actions. Yu Chen finally experienced both hot and cold weather. After recovering his mobility, Yu Chen began to think. It was impossible for him to simply sit and wait. Yu Chen could not stand to be here for a few days, let alone for five hundred years. However, Yu Chen no longer had any talent points or the power to tear open the cage. For a moment, Yu Chen was in despair. However, he did not give up. Instead, he sat cross-legged and started cultivating again¡­ Chapter 6 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Not long after Yu Chen started cultivating, he was forcefully awakened. When he opened his eyes, he saw a row of prison guards standing outside the cage. One of the prison guards was beating the cage with an iron rod. Ding! Ding! Ding! Many of the prisoners were attracted by the sound and looked over. ¡°Oh, since when did we have a new cellmate?¡± ¡°He looks rather delicate.¡± ¡°I want to be his friend.¡± The prison guard pointed his iron rod at Yu Chen and ordered, ¡°You, come here.¡± When one was in prison, they basically had no freedom of choice. Yu Chen had no choice but to leave his cultivation state. He got up and walked over. ¡­ These prison guards added another shackle that restricted Yu Chen¡¯s spiritual power. As a result, Yu Chen only had a tenth of his original spiritual power left. The prison guard escorted Yu Chen to a room. The judge glanced at Yu Chen¡¯s file and said, ¡°Name: Yu Chen Gender: Male Age: Sixteen Identity: Core disciple of the Hunyuan Sect Crime: Stole the Authentic Mental Cultivation Technique from the Hunyuan Sect. Punishment: Five hundred years in the third level of the Heavenly Prison.¡± Yu Chen looked up and stared at the guy in confusion. The judge continued, ¡°What do you have to say to the fact that you escaped the cage without permission and beat up the prison guards, injuring thirty-two of them?¡± Only then did Yu Chen realize that this was an interrogation. ¡°I was wronged.¡± Yu Chen looked up, his face and tone calm. ¡°I didn¡¯t steal the cultivation technique.¡± The judge sneered. ¡°Everyone here is wrongly accused.¡± Yu Chen was furious and immediately said, ¡°I¡¯m stating the truth, but you¡¯re making things up.¡± The truth was that the judge really did not know anything about Yu Chen¡¯s matter. Therefore, the judge changed the topic and announced, ¡°The prisoner, Yu Chen, beat up the prison guards. The circumstances are serious. His sentence will now be increased by 320 years. Do you have any objections?¡± His sentence would be increased? Yu Chen sneered in his heart. What¡¯s the difference between 500 years and 820 years? To Yu Chen, these two sentences were both centuries long. Sometimes he wondered if he had inadvertently broken the rules of heaven. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have suddenly transmigrated and put in a circumstance in which he was framed. Seeing that Yu Chen did not speak, the judge did not hesitate and directly changed Yu Chen¡¯s sentence. ¡­ After being sent back to the cage again, Yu Chen took a deep breath to calm himself down and relieve his suppressed emotions. However, someone had to come looking for trouble. ¡°Hey, kid, come here.¡± Yu Chen heard an excited voice. He looked up and saw that the prisoners in the cage had surrounded him. The leader had a fierce look on his face. Coupled with his drooping belly, he looked rather strange. It didn¡¯t take a genius to figure out that this guy had been fat before. He didn¡¯t get enough nutrition after he came into the cage, so he¡¯d starved into a thin man. However, although he had become thin, the skin on his stomach was still stretched out. It was extremely ugly. The other party waved at Yu Chen and licked his lips as he looked at him with shining eyes. Compared to the other ugly people in the cage, Yu Chen was as beautiful as a fairy. Although Yu Chen was injured and his face was bruised, it was obvious that he was a young and handsome young man. Yu Chen frowned and subconsciously felt disgusted. He said coldly, ¡°If you don¡¯t want to die, get lost.¡± ¡°You¡¯re quite feisty ~¡± Unexpectedly, when this person heard Yu Chen¡¯s words, he did not retreat but tried to approach. Seeing this, Yu Chen couldn¡¯t sit still. He stood up on the spot and stretched his body. As Yu Chen moved, the new crisscrossing knife wounds under his prison uniform were also revealed. The last time he encountered that group of prison guards, Yu Chen didn¡¯t even know how many times he had been stabbed. These knife wounds would probably heal completely in less than a week. But now, with Yu Chen¡¯s movements, the knife wounds cracked open, and blood seeped out of his skin. However, at this moment, Yu Chen did not have the time to care about this. He only felt that he was pitifully weak. First, there was an iron ring sealing his strength, and then there was a shackle sealing the spiritual power in his dantian. At this moment, Yu Chen could only unleash one-tenth of his original combat strength. However, he had to face so many prisoners of the same realm! He had no choice¡­ he had to risk it. This prisoner with a drooping belly was also smart. When he saw that Yu Chen was covered in shackles, he knew that Yu Chen was not to be trifled with. Therefore, he did not fight Yu Chen head-on. Instead, he waved for his subordinates to go first. More than a dozen prisoners surrounded Yu Chen. The rest of the prisoners in the cage were trembling and hiding in the corner. Yu Chen¡¯s eyes darkened as killing intent surged from his heart. Without waiting for the other party to start attacking, Yu Chen took a step forward and clenched his fists, thinking, ¡°Primordial Chaos Art ¨C Battle Spirit Technique!¡± Battle Spirit Technique was one of the branches of the Primordial Chaos Art. It could affix all the spiritual power of cultivators who cultivated the Primordial Chaos Art to their fists and feet. The Battle Spirit Technique was an extremely powerful technique that was specially prepared for cultivators with low physical cultivation. At such a short distance, the cage was perfect for close combat. As he used the Battle Spirit Technique, Yu Chen¡¯s entire body was surrounded by white spiritual energy. Whoosh ~ Without hesitation, Yu Chen aimed at a person and punched him in the face. When the other prisoners saw this, they surrounded Yu Chen and began to punch and kick him. After all, everyone¡¯s spiritual power had been sealed. Coupled with the long period of torture, their physical cultivation had also decreased. They could only fight like hooligans. In almost an instant, Yu Chen was punched countless times. ¡°Don¡¯t hit his face. I still want to use this dollface!¡± The leader¡¯s words made Yu Chen even more furious. Yu Chen grabbed a prisoner and beat him violently. He ignored the attacks of the other prisoners and hit only him. At this moment, the prisoner¡¯s mentality was about to collapse. ¡®I¡¯m not the only one who attacked you. Why do you only hit me?¡¯ Although Yu Chen only had one-tenth of his strength, his combat strength was extraordinary because he had three high-grade talents. Not long after, the prisoner fainted due to Yu Chen¡¯s onslaught. And Yu Chen himself was also exhausted. ¡®No way!¡¯ This could not go on. Yu Chen endured the pain and pushed away the prisoners who were attacking him. He stared at their leader. With a flying leap, Yu Chen collided with the leader. Pfft! The leader spat out blood. It looked like Yu Chen had really hit him hard. Seeing this, the other prisoners surrounded him, but Yu Chen held on to the leader¡¯s head like he was fighting a mortal enemy. ¡°Trash! Pull him away! Now!¡± Seeing Yu Chen¡¯s imposing manner, the leader panicked. Yu Chen released his fist that had been strengthened by the Battle Spirit Technique and clawed at the stomach of the leader. Rip. There was a sound of paper being torn. The leader¡¯s belly was torn open by Yu Chen. Entrails instantly came spilling out. When the other prisoners saw Yu Chen¡¯s crazy appearance, their hearts trembled. The screams of the leader were unnaturally loud¡­ Yu Chen forced himself to suppress his disgust and swung countless punches at the leader¡¯s head. The rest of the prisoners watched in horror. They did not attack Yu Chen again. Yu Chen only stopped when the other party was completely dead¡­ Breathing heavily, Yu Chen sat on the ground and said, ¡°He¡¯s dead. You don¡¯t have to obey him anymore!¡± Chapter 7 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios In the interrogation room. ¡°Name: Yu Chen Gender: Male Age: Sixteen Identity¡­¡± ¡°For beating and killing your fellow prisoner, 160 years will be added to your sentence. Do you have any objections?¡± Yu Chen said, ¡°I was wronged. I didn¡¯t steal the cultivation technique.¡± ¡­ On the way back to the cage, Yu Chen suddenly stopped walking. He looked back in a certain direction. In the dark, he could sense a cultivator who cultivated the Primordial Chaos Art. Based on Yu Chen¡¯s perception, he could sense that a middle-aged woman in a prison uniform was standing with her hands behind her back in one of the cages that held the female prisoners. She was looking at Yu Chen. ¡°Walk faster!¡± Seeing that Yu Chen had stopped, the prison guard pushed him, causing him to stumble. ¡­ After returning to the cage, Yu Chen began to rest. At the same time, he began to think about how to break the restrictions of the cage. Yu Chen helped the prisoners escape the control of the ¡®oppressor¡¯ and instantly became a popular person in this cage. Everyone was grateful to Yu Chen and was happy to help him. Finally, after a week, Yu Chen¡¯s injuries fully recovered. The knife wound was gone. Not even a scar remained. With the combined efforts of his cellmates, they finally broke open two bars. Yu Chen looked out of the cage and turned back to his cellmate. He said, ¡°Thank you.¡± The prisoners expressed that there was no need to thank them and instructed Yu Chen to return quickly. As for them, they did not even dare to think about escaping. After all, this was the Heavenly Prison. No one had been able to escape from here for many years. You could say that if you were a prisoner, the only way to get out of here would be to kill yourself and reincarnate¡­ ¡­ Using his perception talent, Yu Chen dodged the guards and arrived at the place where he had sensed the Primordial Chaos Art cultivator last time. Following his perception, Yu Chen walked for a while before arriving at a cage. The cage here held cultivators of the second realm level seven. However, the prisoners here were all female. Yu Chen¡¯s appearance almost made this group of second realm cultivators go berserk. ¡°What a delicate little brother. I like him ~¡± ¡°Let me see if you¡¯re developing normally.¡± ¡°Your Yang energy hasn¡¯t leaked. You¡¯re still a pure little guy ~¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± A cold and delicate voice shouted, and the entire cage instantly fell silent. The prisoners obediently stood in two orderly rows. From the center, the middle-aged woman walked towards Yu Chen. When she got closer, Yu Chen realized that although this person was slightly older, her appearance was still the same. It was not difficult to tell that she was extremely beautiful when she was young. When she arrived in front of Yu Chen, the woman asked, ¡°Cultivator of the Hunyuan Sect, why are you here?¡± Yu Chen replied honestly, ¡°I was framed for stealing the cultivation technique because I offended the Saint.¡± ¡°Senior, I want to ask you to teach me the cultivation method beyond the first realm of the Primordial Chaos Art.¡± The woman narrowed her beautiful eyes and sized up Yu Chen. ¡°Why should I?¡± Without a word, Yu Chen directly leaked his spiritual power. Three stars that signified high-grade talent appeared, mysterious and brilliant. The woman¡¯s pupils constricted slightly, and a glimmer of hope rose in her heart. Yu Chen said, ¡°No matter how Senior was imprisoned, if Senior can teach me the next step of cultivation method of the Primordial Chaos Art, I can satisfy Senior¡¯s request.¡± ¡°With my talent, senior should believe that I have the ability, right?¡± First of all, the mental cultivation technique of the Primordial Chaos Art was useless here. Other than Yu Chen, no one else cared about it. Secondly, since this woman was also in the Heavenly Prison, there must be something she was indignant about. Since there was something that she was indignant about, she certainly would need someone or perhaps, Yu Chen to settle it. Then, teaching him the mental cultivation technique would become a surefire way to resolve her problem. It was precisely because Yu Chen had calculated this that he made up his mind to look for the senior from the Hunyuan Sect who was also in the Heavenly Prison. As expected, after hearing Yu Chen¡¯s words, the other party was obviously tempted. The woman looked thoughtful, as if she were hesitating. Yu Chen said, ¡°Senior, opportunity is something you have to seize with your own hands.¡± Finally, the woman was tempted. She took a deep breath, reached through the cage, and tapped Yu Chen¡¯s forehead. In an instant, Yu Chen felt many memories flowing into his mind. The woman said, ¡°If you manage to leave this place, help me kill Wang Yun.¡± Sensing the next step of the cultivation method of the Primordial Chaos Art in his mind, Yu Chen smiled and said, ¡°Senior, don¡¯t worry. Even if you don¡¯t say it, I won¡¯t let him off.¡± ¡­ After obtaining the subsequent cultivation technique, Yu Chen carefully returned to the cage. From the memories, Yu Chen learned something. The woman¡¯s real name was Gongsun Yue, and she was originally the Saintess of the Hunyuan Sect. In a competition between the Saint and Saintess Wang Yun falsely accused her of hiding a weapon and plotting to kill her fellow Saint¡­ That didn¡¯t matter. The point was that an elder had given her a concealed weapon not long ago, saying it was for her protection. However, she never expected that it would become evidence for Wang Yun to frame her. The Grand Elder of the Hunyuan Sect had no choice but to expel Gongsun Yue from the sect and send her to the Heavenly Prison. ¡°Hehe¡­ Wang Yun really has some tricks up his sleeve.¡± Yu Chen thought to himself, I was also framed by him. I didn¡¯t expect that the Saintess had also been framed by him as well. Wait¡­ Saintess? ¡®I thought they said she was an elder?¡¯ Yu Chen suddenly thought of something. He had only heard of a certain Hunyuan Sect elder being sent into the prison, but he had never heard of the Saintess being sent in as well. However, Yu Chen accidentally encountered her. After obtaining the complete cultivation method of the Primordial Chaos Art, Yu Chen began to cultivate in peace. This time, the Primordial Chaos Art mental cultivation technique could enable him to cultivate to the fourth realm. However, as soon as Yu Chen entered a cultivation state, a voice sounded in his mind. His voice was magnetic and deep. ¡®Want to get out of here, kid?¡¯ Yu Chen did not panic. After all, this was a fantasy world. It was not surprising for anything to happen. Yu Chen thought, ¡®Who are you?¡¯ ¡®I am the Blood Ancestor!¡¯ Yu Chen thought, ¡®Oh¡­ you are the Blood Demon?¡¯ ¡®Damn it! It¡¯s the Blood Ancestor! Those hypocrites actually framed me as a demon?!¡¯ ¡®Although¡­ I do cultivate demonic techniques.¡¯ Yu Chen: Then you must be a demon ~ ¡®I am the Blood Ancestor! The Blood Ancestor!!¡¯ Yu Chen asked, ¡®Oh¡­ What do you want from me?¡¯ ¡®As long as you can remove a portion of my seals, I can overturn the prison. At that time, you can leave.¡¯ Yu Chen asked calmly, ¡®Why would you ask this of me?¡¯ After coming to this world, Yu Chen had not experienced much, but most of it was a little dark. Whether it was being framed or what had happened in the Heavenly Prison. It made Yu Chen realize that this was not a peaceful world where he originally came from, but a fantasy world where the strong preyed on the weak. If he was not careful, he might be doomed. ¡®Because you are the only one who possesses three high-grade talents.¡¯ Yu Chen was still unsure, so he only said, ¡®Let me think about it.¡¯ Chapter 8 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Perhaps Yu Chen¡¯s attitude had annoyed the Blood Demon. After Yu Chen said that he would consider the matter, he did not receive a response from the Blood Demon. However, Yu Chen did not mind. After all, the other party was a Blood Demon, a legendary demon. It was best to avoid contact with him if he could. It had to be known that this guy was rumored to have the ability to destroy the world. Unfortunately, he was sealed on the 18th level of the Heavenly Prison. In Yu Chen¡¯s opinion, this guy was an out-and-out villain. All he could think about was how to destroy the world. This kind of person¡­ he was crazy! The step from the first realm to the second realm was not that simple. After Yu Chen obtained the mental cultivation technique, he started cultivating. With a high-grade ¡®Genius¡¯ talent, Yu Chen¡¯s cultivation speed increased by a hundred times. Even so, it still took Yu Chen three months to break through to the first level of the second realm. In other words, if Yu Chen did not have the ¡®Genius¡¯ talent, he would need to cultivate for 25 years to break through. No wonder cultivators had no concept of time. With the enhancement of their cultivation, the lifespan of cultivators was in the thousands. Lifespan thus became one of the most worthless things in the path of the Dao. ¡­ On this day, on the fourth floor of the Heavenly Prison. A sudden abnormality occurred in the cage that imprisoned first realm level ten cultivators The surrounding spiritual energy suddenly gathered towards the cage. At the same time, Yu Chen sat cross-legged in the cage. His dantian was expanding crazily, and his spiritual power and physical cultivation were rising at an unbelievable speed. This abnormality lasted for an hour before it calmed down. After the phenomenon ended, Yu Chen received many envious gazes. Although there was only a difference of one realm between a first realm cultivator and a second Realm cultivator, there was a world of difference. Theoretically speaking, a first realm level ten cultivator¡¯s lifespan was 1,000 years. However, a second realm cultivator could easily live for 2,000 years. Even Yu Chen himself was surprised by the length of his lifespan. Moreover, his strength quality had also improved. Based on Yu Chen¡¯s current situation, after breaking through to the second realm, the array formation on his arms that restricted his strength had little effect on him. In Yu Chen¡¯s dantian, the shackles that restricted his spiritual energy had also weakened greatly. Feeling the surging spiritual energy in his body and the tense strength in his fists, the restlessness in Yu Chen¡¯s heart finally subsided a little. ¡°Primordial Chaos Art!¡± Yu Chen used the Primordial Chaos Art to transform his spiritual power cultivation into physical cultivation. As his cultivation was transformed, Yu Chen could clearly feel the restrictions on his arms decreasing. When the transformation was complete, Yu Chen tensed up. Crack ~ There was a faint noise. The iron rings on Yu Chen¡¯s arms cracked. Bang! Under the enhancement of the terrifying power, the iron rings with the restrictive power array were finally destroyed. After breaking free from the power array, Yu Chen used the Primordial Chaos Art to transform his physical cultivation into spiritual power cultivation. After that, his spiritual power cultivation increased by over 50 times. Yu Chen sat cross-legged in a cultivating posture. In fact, he was guiding the spiritual energy in his dantian to wildly attack the shackles in his dantian. A sharp pain came from his dantian, but Yu Chen ignored it. Under the tsunami of spiritual power, the shackles were finally broken. Now, Yu Chen no longer had any restrictions on his body. After doing all this, Yu Chen looked at the bars of the cage and walked straight over. His fellow prisoners also began to bow and congratulate Yu Chen on his breakthrough. However, Yu Chen knew that those people were all criminals who had committed serious crimes. There were even heinous people among them. Therefore, Yu Chen ignored their compliments. Holding the iron bar with both hands, Yu Chen was about to exert strength when the Blood Demon¡¯s voice sounded in his mind. ¡®Kid, don¡¯t even think about getting away.¡¯ Yu Chen was stunned. He did not expect the Blood Demon, who had been silent for three months, to finally contact him. Yu Chen thought, ¡®Why?¡¯ Yu Chen felt that he could defeat the prison guards who had surrounded him previously. He¡­ had to escape from here! Although the chances were slim, Yu Chen was willing to try. The Blood Demon¡¯s disdainful voice reached Yu Chen¡¯s ears. ¡®This is a Heavenly Prison. I can¡¯t escape even with my cultivation. Who do you think you are?¡± Yu Chen calmed down instantly after hearing that. That was close¡­ Previously, Yu Chen had been overwhelmed by his agitated emotions. The existence of the Blood Demon proved how strong the Heavenly Prison was. The Blood Demon was a legendary demon. Even he could not escape from here, let alone Yu Chen. Besides, since the establishment of the Heavenly Prison, no prisoner had been able to escape from here. Seeing that Yu Chen had calmed down, the Blood Demon continued speaking. ¡®That¡¯s right. Cultivate honestly.¡¯ ¡®With such a terrifying cultivation speed, why are you afraid of the Heavenly Prison?¡¯ ¡®Sit cross-legged and cultivate for a hundred thousand years. When the time comes, I¡¯ll be your underling.¡¯ Yu Chen did not expect the legendary Blood Demon to be so funny¡­ Cultivating for 100,000 years? Becoming Yu Chen¡¯s underling? Don¡¯t even say a hundred thousand years. Even now, if someone told Yu Chen that he had no chance of getting out, he would probably collapse from despair. Without hope, this kind of life was simply not humane. Besides, Yu Chen had been wronged. He should not have been here in the first place. However, the Blood Demon¡¯s words still gave Yu Chen a reminder. He was still too weak and needed to be careful. After thinking it through, Yu Chen glanced at his cellmates who were nodding and bowing to him. Without a word, he turned around and returned to his original position. Through the iron bars, Yu Chen looked dazedly at the blood-red clouds in the sky. It didn¡¯t feel good to transmigrate to a fantasy world and be imprisoned. After feeling slightly better, Yu Chen began to sit cross-legged. He planned to continue cultivating. Yu Chen used the talent points he obtained from leveling up to light up the ¡®Genius¡¯ talent. [Genius ¨C Top-grade: Cultivation speed increased by 1,000 times.] ¡­ The moment Yu Chen clicked on the skill point, a white aurora rushed out of the prison and pierced into the sky. Boom ~ The mysterious white aurora appeared in the sky above the continent like a miracle. It lasted for dozens of seconds before dissipating. All the cultivators on the continent looked in the direction of the prison. The moment they saw the white aurora, everyone was shocked. ¡°This¡­ top-grade talent?!¡± ¡°Someone lit a top-grade talent??¡± ¡°This simply is a once in a million years opportunity.¡± ¡°Apart from myths and legends, this seems to be only the third top grade talent in the history of the continent?¡± ¡°A white top-grade talent¡­ Could it be¡­¡± ¡­ Including the Hunyuan Sect, there were a total of five superpowers on the continent. Hunyuan Sect, Jiguang Sect, Xuanming Forbidden Land, Heavenly Dao Palace, and Demon God Temple. Dozens of Grand Elders in the five superpowers woke up at the same time and looked in the direction of the prison. Many mighty figures left their seclusion and came out. These mighty figures turned into gorgeous lights that soared into the sky and approached the Heavenly Prison. ¡­ In the Heavenly Prison, the Blood Demon sensed the aura of a top-grade talent and immediately contacted Yu Chen. ¡®Kid, have you awakened a top-grade talent???¡¯ Yu Chen was cultivating and did not know how much of a commotion he had caused with just one talent point. Hearing the Blood Demon¡¯s voice, Yu Chen asked curiously, ¡®Is there a problem?¡¯ Hearing Yu Chen¡¯s calm yet puzzled tone, the all-powerful Blood Demon fell silent. The Blood Demon was speechless. Had this person ever experienced a super calamity? How could he be so calm after awakening a top-grade talent? Chapter 9 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The Blood Demon was shocked by Yu Chen¡¯s performance and said excitedly, ¡®Kid, do you know what it means to acquire a white top-grade talent?¡¯ Yu Chen was puzzled. ¡®What?¡¯ According to what Yu Chen knew, it only meant that his cultivation speed would increase by a thousand times. The Blood Demon said, ¡®If I¡¯m not mistaken, your top-grade talent is called ¡®Genius¡¯, right?¡¯ Yu Chen frowned slightly. It seemed that the mighty figures of this world were really omnipotent. They could even see through this. The Blood Demon continued, ¡®The probability of awakening a low-grade ¡®Genius¡¯ talent is one in 8,308,000.¡¯ ¡®The medium-grade only has a one in 8,308,000 multiplied by 8,308,000 chance.¡¯ ¡®The probability of acquiring a high-grade talent is reduced by 8,308,000 times the base probability of the middle-grade talent.¡¯ ¡®The probability of acquiring a top-grade talent is reduced by another 8.38 million times.¡¯ ¡®This probability is infinitely close to zero. Otherwise, there wouldn¡¯t be only two people with top-grade talent on the continent after so many years.¡¯ ¡®What¡¯s even crazier is that your top-grade talent is actually a talent to increase your cultivation speed. This is really enviable¡­¡¯ ¡®Even I¡¯m a little jealous of you.¡¯ Could it be that Yu Chen was the illegitimate son of the Heavenly Dao? Otherwise, how could he have such good luck? After hearing the Blood Demon¡¯s explanation, Yu Chen was not happy. Instead, he was worried that his ability would bring him disaster. After transmigrating and experiencing several things, Yu Chen knew that the people here had no concept of law at all. If he awakened such a good talent, wouldn¡¯t he be envied and killed? Fortunately, only the Blood Demon knew about this. Meanwhile, the Blood Demon was trapped on the 18th level of the Heavenly Prison and could not pose a threat to Yu Chen. Thinking of this, Yu Chen began to cultivate. What he didn¡¯t know was that his awakened talent had been exposed to all the cultivators on the continent¡­ ¡­ The Heavenly Prison. From the outside, it was just an exquisite little pagoda the size of a palm. The smell of blood slowly scattered from the top. Inside the tower, a beam of light shot out and transformed into a giant several feet tall. The giant grabbed the prison from afar. Then, the small tower got closer to the giant¡¯s chest and turned into a red tattoo that covered most of its body. The tattoo was stuck on the giant¡¯s chest. The giant looked up at the sky and saw dozens of streams of light quickly shooting over from the edge of the sky in all directions. The giant stood with his eyes closed and his arms crossed over his chest, waiting. Before long, the lights approached. It turned out that these were the Grand Elders and leaders of the superpowers. ¡°Xing Wanhong, hand over my disciple and I¡¯ll spare your life.¡± A sage-like old man was the first to arrive. His gaze first locked onto the pagoda tattoo on Xing Wanhong¡¯s body before he immediately berated him. Xing Wanhong opened his eyes and saw people arriving one after another. Seeing the mighty figures appear one after another, Xing Wanhong couldn¡¯t help but mock, ¡°You guys aren¡¯t dead yet? Hahaha!!¡± His deep voice spread out like thunder. However, the mighty figures were not in the mood to greet Xing Wanhong at all. Instead, they started discussing. ¡°The top-grade talent was awakened in this prison.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t be wrong. There¡¯s someone inside this prison who has awakened a top-grade talent.¡± The Heavenly Dao Palace Master was the first to arrive. He immediately cupped his fists at many mighty figures and said, ¡°Everyone, Xing Wanhong imprisoned my obedient disciple without distinguishing between right and wrong. He¡¯s really infuriating.¡± ¡°If you are willing to help me save my disciple, I will reward you handsomely.¡± When the other mighty figures heard this, they were unhappy. ¡°Brother Tian, you¡¯re wrong. The person who awakened the top-grade talent is not your disciple, but the immortal of our Jiguang Sect.¡± ¡°We haven¡¯t even seen him but we have started fighting. What¡¯s the point? With the guy locked up in prison, I¡¯m sure there¡¯s something wrong with his morals.¡± ¡°Gentlemen, give me some face¡­¡± Xing Wanhong looked at the arguing crowd and smiled disdainfully. ¡°There¡¯s no need to discuss this matter further. For so many years, no prisoner has been able to escape from me. This time will be no exception.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care what you want to do. I won¡¯t release him until his sentence is over.¡± The mighty figures panicked when they heard this. Was there something wrong with Xing Wanhong¡¯s brain? So many people had come to snatch the legendary top-grade talent, but he had offended everyone. Xing Wanhong saw that everyone¡¯s expressions were not very good, as if they would attack him in the next moment. Admittedly, he could not win against so many mighty figures. But he did have a trump card! Xing Wanhong sneered and said, ¡°Hehe, let me make myself clear. If you want to take my prisoners, you have to step over my corpse!¡± ¡°It¡¯s just¡­ you guys have to think this through.¡± ¡°Without me, who among you can restrain the Blood Demon?¡± Xing Wanhong was not afraid of the dozens of mighty figures around him. At the mention of the Blood Demon, many mighty figures¡¯ expressions changed drastically. They recalled the humiliating past. However, someone quickly changed the topic. ¡°Ahem¡­ let¡¯s talk.¡± ¡°Xing Wanhong, you have to know that not everyone in this prison is a criminal.¡± ¡°It¡¯s also possible that the person who has awakened top-grade talent is wrongly accused.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not like it hasn¡¯t happened before!¡± ¡°Release that little fellow who has awakened his talent first. It won¡¯t be too late to make a decision after we judge his crimes.¡± ¡°Yes, yes ~¡± ¡°That¡¯s very clever.¡± The mighty figures spoke one after another, each of them wanting to be the first to get information of the person who had awakened a top-grade talent. Most of the people in the prison were criminals. However, they still hoped that Yu Chen was innocent. However, Xing Wanhong was not easily fooled. He continued, ¡°Hehe¡­ If you really want to take him away, I won¡¯t be able to stop you.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to say anything more about this matter. No one in my prison is innocent.¡± ¡°I will only release him when his sentence is over. In addition, no matter what you say, I will not change my mind.¡± Since Xing Wanhong had said so, there was nothing the mighty figures could do. Although they wanted to see the person who had awakened a top-grade talent, they did not want to attack Xing Wanhong. That¡¯s right. It¡¯s not that they did not dare to or they could not win, it was that they did not want to. The dozens of mighty figures here were basically ranked in the top hundred in the world. Xing Wanhong was nothing to them. But the Blood Demon was different¡­ If they touched Xing Wanhong, no one would suppress the Blood Demon. It was not worth letting the Blood Demon see the light of day just to fight for someone who had awakened a top-grade talent. ¡­ Yu Chen thought that he had only tapped on one talent point. However, the result caused such a commotion. Unfortunately, with Xing Wanhong around, those who wanted to contact Yu Chen could not send a message to him. At this moment, Yu Chen was still sitting cross-legged in the prison and cultivating seriously. Hearing the Blood Demon¡¯s words, Yu Chen realized that he was still too weak. If he was stronger, he wouldn¡¯t have to worry about others killing him because they were jealous of his talent. So¡­ Yu Chen decided to stay in Heavenly Prison and cultivate slowly. Chapter 10 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios A week later, his spiritual power surged, and Yu Chen¡¯s cultivation broke through to the second level of the second realm. Two weeks later, the third level of the second realm. Three weeks later, the fourth level of the second realm. Two and a half months later, Yu Chen¡¯s fellow prisoners gathered together and curled up in a corner of the cage, trembling as they watched Yu Chen break through one level after another. After cultivating wholeheartedly, Yu Chen¡¯s cultivation level finally broke through to the tenth level of the second realm. At this moment, his spiritual power and physical cultivation were countless times stronger than before. If previously Yu Chen could kill a cow with one punch, now, he could kill a dinosaur with one punch. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a human-shaped beast. Moreover, a total of nine unallocated talent points appeared in the Yu Chen Talent Tree. Yu Chen was not in a hurry to use up the talent points. Instead, he decided to first understand all the talents in the entire Talent Tree before using them. Only then could Yu Chen effectively allocate his resources. ¡­ ¡°It¡¯s insane. That guy broke through ten times in less than three months. It¡¯s a miracle.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that so? If he wasn¡¯t locked up in the Heavenly Prison, he might have already been appointed as the Immortal by the superpowers.¡± A group of prison guards walked towards the cage where Yu Chen was imprisoned. Along the way, they would frequently make remarks of admiration. ¡°I can¡¯t believe I witnessed something like this. I¡¯m so lucky.¡± ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s the legendary top-grade talent. Moreover, it¡¯s the talent that increases one¡¯s cultivation speed. This child¡¯s future will definitely be unimaginable.¡± ¡°Hmph. Even so, he¡¯s still a criminal with questionable conduct.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. Didn¡¯t we lock up such a powerful genius?¡± ¡°He¡¯s now in the second realm. A first realm cage is no longer a problem for him.¡± ¡°Otherwise, we wouldn¡¯t have received orders to transfer him to the cage for second realm cultivators.¡± ¡­ On the other side, Yu Chen was led by the prison guards to the cage for the second realm cultivators. On the other side, the Blood Demon could no longer hold back his excitement. Xing Wanhong was laying down in his room, but he kept listening to the Blood Demon¡¯s crazy words. ¡°Hehehehe~ You can¡¯t possibly keep him imprisoned. It¡¯s impossible.¡± ¡°A bunch of dog-like people. It¡¯s your fault for offending the son of God¡­¡± ¡°Die quickly, all of you¡­¡± ¡°In¡­ three hundred years, all of you will die~ Hehehe, all of you will die¡­¡± Xing Wanhong was vexed by the Blood Demon¡¯s exclamation and could not help but shout, ¡°No one will die. You¡¯re the only one who will die!¡± ¡°You¡¯re supposed to be a powerful figure. Can you stop acting so crazy?¡± Yu Chen¡¯s appearance gave the Blood Demon hope. After seeing a glimmer of hope, the Blood Demon had since been in an excited state. He was beside himself with excitement. As long as he secretly guided Yu Chen¡¯s actions, he would be free in a few hundred years. Freedom ~ Freedom! In the silent void, the Blood Demon opened his eyes. His scarlet eyes flickered with a shocking killing intent that made one shudder. ¡°Die, all of you¡­ for covering up the truth.¡± ¡°There are still hundreds of years, thousands of months, and hundreds of thousands of hours before I can kill all of you¡­ Hehe ~¡± ¡­ ¡°Lord Saint, I¡¯ve investigated everything.¡± At the Hunyuan Sect, Wang Yun listened to his subordinate¡¯s report. ¡°A few days ago, the person who awakened a top grade talent in the Heavenly Prison was Yu Chen!¡± Hearing these words, Wang Yun¡¯s eyes widened. In an instant, he understood the stakes. He was the one who had framed Yu Chen and sent him to prison. If this matter was discovered, his life as the Saint would be over. And it was basically impossible to secretly get rid of Yu Chen. Yu Chen was now being watched by the Grand Elders of the five superpowers. He was merely a Saint of the Hunyuan Sect. To secretly operate under the noses of many mighty figures was simply courting death. ¡°How?!! You bastard!¡± Wang Yun¡¯s face darkened and he said in fear, ¡°How can that trash awaken a top-grade talent?¡± ¡°Last time, his cultivation was only on the fifth level of the first realm!¡± The subordinate lowered his head and did not dare to look at Wang Yun. Although the Saint had a good reputation outside, such as being kind, gentlemanly, refined, and easy-going, as Wang Yun¡¯s subordinate, he understood Wang Yun very well. Not only was Wang Yun an extremely shrewd fellow, but he was also vindictive. His true character was completely different from his reputation. ¡°If the truth is discovered, wouldn¡¯t I be¡ª¡± The more Wang Yun thought about it, the more fearful he became. He was already regretting not killing Yu Chen back then. If he had killed Yu Chen, things wouldn¡¯t have turned out like this. However, at that time, Yu Chen was only a first realm level five cultivator with some potential. Wang Yun did not expect Yu Chen to awaken a top-grade talent in such a short period of time. ¡°If I¡¯m discovered, I¡¯ll definitely die.¡± When Wang Yun thought of this, he became anxious. If nothing unexpected happened, Yu Chen would not die inside the Heavenly Prison. And if he didn¡¯t die, Xing Wanhong would release him sooner or later. At that time, everyone would learn from Yu Chen that Wang Yun was the one who caused him to be imprisoned. Then the higher-ups of the Hunyuan Sect would definitely not let him off. Yu Chen¡¯s talent could directly make him the Immortal. Suddenly, Wang Yun thought of something. ¡°No, the situation is not completely hopeless yet.¡± Wang Yun thought to himself, ¡®In a month, there will be a competition between the Immortals. If I become the Immortal¡­¡¯ If he became the Immortal, even if Yu Chen¡¯s matter was exposed, he would at most just be punished. Wang Yun thought, ¡®And if I want to become the Immortal, the most important thing now is to obtain Xiao Ling¡­¡¯ ¡®That b*tch¡­ pretending to be virtuous in front of me for so many years¡­¡¯ ¡®After this, I must get even with her.¡¯ It didn¡¯t feel good to be a bootlicker, especially a neglected one. ¡­ ¡°The competition to fight for the Immortal¡¯s position will be held in a month.¡± In the Heavenly Prison, Yu Chen sat in the cage for second realm level ten cultivators, thinking about some matters. Several people who were trying to look for trouble laid on the ground around him. However, without any restrictions on his strength, Yu Chen could easily deal with them. ¡°If I remember correctly, five Saints and Saintesses will compete together for the position of the Immortal.¡± ¡°And Wang Yun¡¯s strength is among the top even among the Saints¡­¡± ¡°On top of that, he enjoys bootlicking Lady Saintess Xiling. There¡¯s a high possibility he¡¯ll become the Immortal. It¡¯ll be even harder to deal with him then.¡± Yu Chen thought long and hard, desperately trying to make things difficult for his enemy. However, he was in the Heavenly Prison and had no way to leave. He could not even see the enemy, let alone stop the enemy from becoming the Immortal. Although there was only a step of difference between the Saint and the Immortal, the gap was huge. There could be many Saints, but there could only be one Immortal. If a Saint did not become the Immortal, he could still become an elder. If the Immortal did not die, he could become the sect master. If Wang Yun was the Saint, then Yu Chen could still have a foothold in the Hunyuan Sect. If Wang Yun was the Immortal, then¡­ Now, it would take Yu Chen at least half a year to break through and become a third realm cultivator. In addition, Yu Chen could not do anything else¡­ He had no choice but to study the Talent Tree. Perhaps there¡¯s a pleasant surprise awaiting Yu Chen in the Talent Tree? ¡­ Three days later, Yu Chen indeed discovered a talent called ¡®External Avatar¡¯ in the Talent Tree. Chapter 11 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios [External Avatar ¨C Low-grade: Can produce a clone with one-ten-thousandth of the original¡¯s strength.] [External Avatar ¨C Medium-grade: Can produce a clone with one-thousandth of the original¡¯s strength.] [External Avatar ¨C High-grade: Can produce a clone with 1% of the original¡¯s strength.] [External Avatar ¨C Top-grade: Can produce a clone with a tenth of the original¡¯s strength.] In order not to let his opponent off so easily, Yu Chen went all out. With four Talent Points, he lit a top-grade ¡®External Avatar¡¯ talent. In fact, these four Talent Points were not wasted. One-tenth of his strength was enough for Yu Chen to deal with Wang Yun. Moreover, if the needs were to arise in the future, Yu Chen could directly use the highest-level of ¡®External Avatar¡¯. At that time, his strength would directly double, and his happiness would also double. Moreover, in battle, 1+1 was greater than 2. Therefore, it was not a waste to use his talent points on ¡®External Avatar¡¯. As soon as Yu Chen lit ¡®External Avatar¡¯, the Blood Demon immediately contacted Yu Chen. ¡®Kid¡­ another top-grade talent???¡¯ Yu Chen didn¡¯t answer the Blood Demon. After all, in Yu Chen¡¯s opinion, only the Blood Demon knew about this. As long as Yu Chen did not expose it, there would be no problem. But in reality¡­ It could be said that everyone in the world knew that Yu Chen had awakened another top-grade talent. ¡­ A red pillar of light rose into the sky. The mighty figures of the five superpowers who had just returned to their respective residences looked in the direction of the Heavenly Prison again. ¡°Another top-grade talent?¡± ¡°Another awakening in the Heavenly Prison?¡± ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s not. I¡¯ll take my chances.¡± Just like that, the mighty figures who had just returned to their residences headed back to the prison. But they still had to face the stubborn Xing Wanhong¡­ ¡­ The most important reason why Yu Chen clicked on this talent was that he could set the location of his clone at will. Secondly, the clone still had spiritual power and he could also modify its appearance. Now everything was ready. All that was missing was an identity. Yu Chen thought about it repeatedly and still could not come up with any identity that could appear in the Hunyuan Sect and stop Wang Yun from becoming the Immortal. Yu Chen had no choice but to leave the cage and look for Gongsun Yue. She was originally the Saintess of the Hunyuan Sect, but she was framed by Wang Yun and was in the same situation as Yu Chen. When Gongsun Yue saw Yu Chen, her mouth widened in shock. She never expected Yu Chen to advance to the tenth level of the second realm in such a short period of time. This was an achievement she had not achieved even after decades. After learning about Yu Chen¡¯s problem, Gongsun Yue immediately said, ¡°When I went out to travel, I once accepted a disciple who was quite talented. Unfortunately, he died young.¡± ¡°Only a few elders of the Hunyuan Sect know about this. You can use this identity to go to the Hunyuan Sect.¡± Yu Chen asked, ¡°What name should I use?¡± Gongsun Yue shook her head slightly. ¡°You can use any name you want. They only know that I accept disciples, but they don¡¯t know my disciple¡¯s name.¡± Yu Chen said, ¡°I understand. Thank you.¡± Gongsun Yue said, ¡°No need. After all, the enemy of an enemy is a friend.¡± Gongsun Yue said, ¡°By the way, if you want to prove your identity, you need to¡­¡± ¡­ In a dense forest outside the Hunyuan Sect in the Xuanming Mountain Range. Spiritual energy suddenly appeared and condensed into a human form. Finally, as time passed, human features gradually appeared on the humanoid. He was wearing a white Daoist robe and had an average-looking appearance. As soon as he appeared, Yu Chen looked around and raised his hand to the sky. ¡°Is this¡­ a fantasy world?¡± At this moment, Yu Chen¡¯s consciousness had completely entered his avatar. It could be said that he was the avatar, and the avatar was him. Yu Chen felt very excited after tasting true freedom. Then, he looked in the direction of the Hunyuan Sect. A hint of mockery appeared in Yu Chen¡¯s eyes as he thought to himself, ¡®Wang Yun, oh Wang Yun, how could you have thought that I would come back to pay you back in this way?¡¯ Just like that, Yu Chen shuttled through the dense forest and headed towards the Hunyuan Sect. However, an accident was bound to happen. Yu Chen was slightly distracted and felt something trip his foot. With his center of gravity unstable, Yu Chen executed the basic horse stance of the Primordial Chaos Art. After landing and stabilizing himself, Yu Chen saw dozens of men in black appear around him. ¡°That must be him!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sure. Anyway, our employer told us to kill anyone who passed this way.¡± ¡°Hehe~ Then why are we still talking? Let¡¯s get moving.¡± The surrounding cultivators activated their cultivation techniques one after another. For a moment, dazzling spiritual power filled the scene. A strange outline of the Starlight Talent Tree appeared around the men in black. The most powerful one actually had a medium-grade talent. There were not many people with medium-grade talent. How could Yu Chen not know that he had been ambushed? His expression turned cold as he asked, ¡°Why are you stopping me?¡± Damn, what the hell was this? This was the first time this face had appeared in this world. Therefore, it was impossible for Yu Chen to have offended anyone. From their words, it wasn¡¯t difficult to draw a conclusion. Yu Chen had taken a bullet for someone. The person they wanted to ambush was not Yu Chen! However, it was obvious that the man in black did not intend to answer Yu Chen¡¯s question. They were a group of professional killers. How could they talk to the prey? The group of men in black pounced at Yu Chen. Some were attacking in close combat, while others were attacking from afar. For a moment, the scene was in chaos. Yu Chen frowned and stepped back a few steps. Just as he was about to use the Primordial Chaos Art, Yu Chen heard a shout. ¡°Stop! How dare you attack a disciple of my Hunyuan Sect in broad daylight!¡± ¡°Battle Spirit Technique!!¡± Yu Chen was speechless. The man in black: ¡°???¡± A ball of spiritual energy descended from the sky and landed in the middle of everyone before exploding. The powerful shockwave pushed the man in black away, but Yu Chen was not affected at all. This was another characteristic of the Primordial Chaos Art. As long as the caster of the spell willed it, cultivators who cultivated the Primordial Chaos Art would not be hurt by the spell. This way, the Primordial Chaos Sect cultivators could indiscriminately fire their spells in group battles without worrying about hurting their own people. A beautiful figure descended from the sky and landed beside Yu Chen. ¡°Fellow Daoist, don¡¯t panic. I¡¯ll help you.¡± Seeing that Yu Chen was staring at her in confusion, the woman raised her head and said proudly, ¡°Hmph, if you want to thank me for my kindness, you¡¯d better wait.¡± ¡°However, if you really want to thank me and give me spirit stones, I can¡¯t exactly embarrass you and say no, right? Three to five spirit stones is not too little, a dozen spirit stones is not too much!¡± Yu Chen was speechless. Boom ~ Suddenly, the dust settled. The leader of the men in black patted the dust off his body and stared at the person with murderous eyes. ¡°Little girl, this has nothing to do with you. Don¡¯t interfere. Don¡¯t lose your life.¡± At the same time, a heavy pressure assaulted Ning Yan. Ning Yan¡¯s beautiful face changed slightly, and she said in surprise, ¡°Second-realm cultivator?! It¡¯s better to lose a fellow Daoist rather than die! The Screams of Wind!¡± Seeing that the man in black was actually a second realm cultivator, she made a prompt decision and turned to leave without thinking. But she hadn¡¯t taken two steps when she heard a loud crash behind him. He turned around and saw the second realm cultivator in black lying on the ground. It was unknown if he was dead or alive. Yu Chen stood not far away, having just retracted his fist. Ning Yan¡¯s eyes flickered with admiration as he exclaimed, ¡°Senior! I¡¯ll help you!¡± The corners of Yu Chen¡¯s mouth twitched. He complained, ¡°Girl, is it alright for you to be so fickle?¡± Chapter 12 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Senior, I don¡¯t understand what you¡¯re talking about.¡± Ning Yan suddenly raised her hand and pointed behind Yu Chen. ¡°Senior, be careful!¡± As she was speaking, she used his Battle Spirit Technique and rushed over. The man in black who was a second realm cultivator was already dead. These men in black had no intention of fighting anymore. Under Ning Yan¡¯s attack (and Yu Chen¡¯s deterrence), they did not dare to fight back at all and were forced to retreat. However, Yu Chen did not want to let the men in black off so easily. He moved quickly and appeared in front of one of them. Seeing Yu Chen, the man in black stopped on the spot, not daring to take another step forward. Behind them, Ning Yan was panting and sweating profusely. She shouted indignantly, ¡°Don¡¯t¡­ don¡¯t run!¡± Suddenly, she saw that the men in black really did not run away. They even turned around and returned. This frightened her. Although she was at the tenth-level of the first realm, she was about to break through to the second realm. But in reality, she would be instantly killed if she were to face against so many first realm cultivators. She could unleash such a powerful attack just now because she had been accumulating strength for a long time. Ning Yan was so frightened that her face turned pale. She trembled and said, ¡°I¡­ I was just joking. You should run!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t come any closer!¡± ¡°Senior, save me!¡± Seeing that the men in black were still running, Yu Chen immediately shouted coldly, ¡°If you stop running, I¡¯ll spare your lives!¡± The difference between the first realm and the second realm was like heaven and earth. Not to mention, Yu Chen was someone who could instantly kill a second realm cultivator. The men in black listened to Yu Chen¡¯s words and did not dare to disobey. Seeing that the men in black did not approach her any longer, Ning Yan could not help but heave a sigh of relief. ¡°Phew¡­ You scared me to death¡­¡± After running to Yu Chen¡¯s side, Ning Yan seemed to have taken a calming pill, and her expression gradually returned to normal. Yu Chen asked the man in black who was standing straight. ¡°Who told you to ambush me here? Do you know me?¡± The men in black looked at each other, but no one dared answer the question. Yu Chen¡¯s face darkened, scaring the men in black. They all spoke at once. ¡°Of course we don¡¯t recognize you, senior.¡± ¡°But we can¡¯t reveal information about our employers. That¡¯s the basic ethics of assassins.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right¡­ Senior, you¡¯re a magnanimous person. Can you let us off?¡± Yu Chen sneered. ¡°If you give me a name, you can still live. If you don¡¯t¡­ you¡¯ll die now!¡± As he spoke, Yu Chen released wisps of spiritual power. Two starlights representing two top-grade talents flickered above his head, mysterious and overpowering. The men in black who finally understood the situation were so frightened that their legs went weak. Two top-grade talents? What kind of monster was he? Could it be that this guy had saved the world in his previous life and that¡¯s why he had such good luck in this life? Ning Yan was also so shocked that her beautiful eyes widened. She stared at the Talent Tree starlights above Yu Chen¡¯s head in horror. Her mind almost couldn¡¯t comprehend the fact. This was too shocking. Gulp ~ The men in black swallowed and asked carefully, ¡°Senior, are you really not going to kill us if we tell you?¡± Yu Chen¡¯s expression softened a little and he said, ¡°Of course. I¡¯m not Wang Yun.¡± After hearing Yu Chen¡¯s words, the men in black asked in horror, ¡°Senior, how did you know that Wang Yun asked me to wait here for you?¡± ¡°Senior, you have an incredibly good foresight. You can even predict this?¡± Yu Chen¡¯s face darkened and he shouted coldly, ¡°Nonsense! No one knows that I¡¯m here. Did Wang Yun ask you to wait for me here?¡± What a ridiculous joke! These men in black were actually Wang Yun¡¯s men? How did he know that Yu Chen had appeared here? How did he know that Yu Chen had left the Heavenly Prison in the form of an avatar? The men in black knelt on the ground and kowtowed to apologize. ¡°Senior, what we said is true.¡± ¡°Senior, you have to believe us. We¡¯re definitely not lying.¡± ¡°If we¡¯re lying, we¡¯ll die a horrible death!¡± ¡°No¡­ Didn¡¯t the employer reveal that the person we¡¯re waiting for is a woman?¡± ¡°Huh? I think he¡­ said that before.¡± ¡°Boss stopped Senior here without saying anything just now. It has nothing to do with us.¡± ¡°Exactly. This is all a misunderstanding. We¡¯re waiting for a woman, not for you.¡± Yu Chen thought that made sense. If Wang Yun knew that Yu Chen had appeared here, he would definitely have known Yu Chen¡¯s strength. Since he knew Yu Chen¡¯s strength, he would not send so many weaklings to give him experience. So¡­ what was this all about? Just as everyone was dumbfounded, Ning Yan raised her trembling hand. ¡°Do you think it¡¯s possible that the person you¡¯re waiting for is me?¡± The men in black said nothing. Yu Chen was speechless. The scene was extremely awkward. After a long while, the men in black got Yu Chen¡¯s permission to leave. They all did so while trembling. After the men in black left, Yu Chen looked at Ning Yan. Yu Chen had long noticed that this person did not expose her Talent Tree during the battle. Her ability interested Yu Chen. It had to be known that Yu Chen was not very strong at this stage. If he encountered a powerful existence who was jealous of Yu Chen, it would be bad. Therefore, Yu Chen asked Ning Yan, ¡°I saw that your Talent Tree wasn¡¯t exposed just now. How did you do that?¡± Ning Yan didn¡¯t seem to be in a good mood. She pouted and lifted her clothes, revealing her fair skin. Then, she took off a necklace from her neck. There was a red jewel on the necklace. It looked expensive. ¡°Here, take it.¡± Ning Yan handed the necklace to Yu Chen and explained, ¡°This is a magic treasure that can block the Talent Tree. Regardless of cultivation level, it can¡¯t be seen through.¡± ¡°Since you¡¯ve helped me¡­ I¡¯ll treat you well in return.¡± ¡°This is a treasure. It¡¯s extremely valuable. I¡¯ll begrudgingly give it to you!¡± Yu Chen took the necklace and accepted it without hesitation. There was a slight fragrance coming from the necklace. After all, Ning Yan was right. If not for Yu Chen, she might have died tragically today. However, under Yu Chen¡¯s gaze, Ning Yan actually took out another similar necklace and put it on her neck. Yu Chen: ¡°?¡± Wasn¡¯t it supposed to be worth a fortune? Why did it seem as if it was worth as much as cabbages? Seeing Yu Chen¡¯s strange gaze, Ning Yan couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Why? I¡¯m the ruler of a country. My personal safety is extremely important. Isn¡¯t it normal for me to have a few magic treasures to protect myself?¡± Yu Chen was a little surprised. ¡°You¡¯re actually the ruler of a country?¡± Ning Yan coughed dryly and deadpanned, ¡°If you have an opinion, report it. If you don¡¯t, withdraw from the court!¡± You don¡¯t say. Those words¡­ sounded as if it could be the truth. This was the first time Yu Chen had seen a king. He couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°You really can¡¯t judge a book by its cover.¡± From the outside, Ning Yan could be considered a femme fatale. But he had never expected her to be a king. Ning Yan sighed dejectedly. ¡°Sigh¡­ So what? Senior, as a second realm cultivator, you should be familiar with the matter of a clan controlling the kingdom, right?¡± ¡°Although I¡¯m supposed to be the ruler of a country, it¡¯s actually just one of the means to increase my so-called ¡®value¡¯.¡± ¡°The one controlling the kingdom, is actually the clan¡­¡± Yu Chen immediately knew that this person was from a powerful clan. At the same time, his doubts were dispelled. If she were the true ruler of a country, she would not have gone out without a guard, let alone coming to such a remote place. Following the principle that the enemy of his enemy was his friend, Yu Chen asked Ning Yan, ¡°Your Majesty, may I ask how you offended Wang Yun?¡± Chapter 13 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After Yu Chen put on the necklace that Ning Yan had given him, he used his spiritual power and realized that the starlight of the Talent Tree was indeed not displayed. It turned out to be quite useful after all. When Ning Yan heard Yu Chen¡¯s question, she immediately said in disbelief, ¡°Me? Offended him?¡± ¡°We¡¯ve only met a few times at most. I¡¯m not a fool who would go around making enemies. How could I offend him?¡± Yu Chen was puzzled. Then why would Wang Yun send someone to assassinate her? Ning Yan analyzed again, ¡°Could it be because of the clan?¡± ¡°Our Ning clan and the Wang clan control a kingdom together. Only the heads of the two clans know about my trip this time. So the Wang clan wants to kill me and make their people the king?¡± Yu Chen immediately knew that this was a matter between the two families. It was just that Ning Yan had become a sacrifice. Ning Yan said, ¡°That shouldn¡¯t be the case. I came back to the sect this time mainly to discuss the marriage alliance with the Saint, Wang Yun. He should know about this.¡± ¡°So why would he want to kill me?¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Yu Chen was interested. ¡°A marriage alliance? With whom?¡± Ning Yan paused and asked carefully, ¡°Me?¡± Yu Chen suddenly looked at Ning Yan and smiled. ¡°In that case, you¡¯re Wang Yun¡¯s fianc¨¦e?¡± As he spoke, Yu Chen¡¯s heart began to tremble. However, Ning Yan interrupted him. Seeing that Yu Chen was about to act upon the matter, Ning Yan immediately said, ¡°Senior, don¡¯t be rash.¡± ¡°First, I¡¯m not the Saint¡¯s fianc¨¦e yet. Second, he just tried to assassinate me. Do you think you can use me to threaten the Saint?¡± After hearing that, Yu Chen felt disinterested. He turned and walked away, as if he didn¡¯t want to stay any longer. Ning Yan panicked when she saw this. She hurriedly followed and asked for help, ¡°Senior, help!¡± ¡°Help?¡± Yu Chen looked around. Yes, it was peaceful and the weather was sunny. What¡¯s there to save? There wasn¡¯t even a snake around, let alone assassins. Ning Yan continued chattering. ¡°Things are a little complicated. I¡¯ll make it short.¡± ¡°First, I defeated Wang Yun, the current Saint, in a competition ten years ago. That¡¯s how I became king.¡± ¡°Secondly, Wang Yun later became the Saint. Our two clans wanted to use him and me to firmly bind the two clans together.¡± ¡°But now, the Wang clan has gone back on their word and asked Wang Yun to kill me so that Wang Yun or the Wang clan can control the kingdom.¡± ¡°In other words, I¡¯m in grave danger.¡± ¡°So, Senior, save me!¡± Yu Chen thought for a moment and asked, ¡°What can I gain from saving you?¡± After being asked so straightforwardly, Ning Yan couldn¡¯t think of an answer for a moment. She racked her brains for a long time but could not think of anything that would tempt Yu Chen. The position of king? Sorry, that belonged to the family, not to her. After thinking about it, she seemed to have nothing except the storage ring on her hand. For a moment, Ning Yan was in despair. Fortunately, Yu Chen quickly changed his mind. Yu Chen looked at Ning Yan¡¯s exquisite face and rubbed his chin. ¡°I came out this time to cause trouble for Wang Yun.¡± ¡°Wang Yun wants to kill you, but I just won¡¯t let him kill you. Wouldn¡¯t that make him very angry?¡± Ning Yan cheered up after hearing that and nodded repeatedly. ¡°Yes, yes, Senior is right.¡± ¡°As long as Senior sends me back to my clan, my clan will definitely not mistreat you.¡± Yu Chen nodded. ¡°Okay, then follow me first.¡± With that, Yu Chen headed towards the Hunyuan Sect. This made Ning Yan extremely anxious. She hurriedly said, ¡°Senior, Hunyuan Sect is Wang Yun¡¯s territory. My house is in the opposite direction!¡± Yu Chen said disdainfully, ¡°Although Wang Yun is strong, the Hunyuan Sect is not his territory.¡± Ning Yan thought that what Yu Chen said made sense. The Hunyuan Sect was so big. Wang Yun couldn¡¯t possibly be in control of everything there, right? Besides, this genius in front of him was a ruthless person with two top-grade talents. Moreover, he was also from the Hunyuan Sect. Could he be the legendary Immortal? Just like that, the two of them began to advance towards the Hunyuan Sect. On the way, Ning Yan asked Yu Chen curiously, ¡°Senior, do you have any conflict with Wang Yun?¡± Yu Chen only said vaguely, ¡°Yes, and it¡¯s a big conflict.¡± Ning Yan¡¯s expression changed when she heard this. She couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°No way? Senior is so approachable, and Wang Yun is an honest child. How can there be friction between the two of you?¡± Yu Chen sure acted like he was indeed very approachable. It had to be known that some second realm cultivators were arrogant and looked down on first realm cultivators. They were extremely snobby and disgusting. Yu Chen sneered. ¡°An honest child? Hehe¡­¡± Ning Yan was puzzled. ¡°That¡¯s right. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have agreed to the marriage that was decided by the clan.¡± ¡°He must have obeyed his clan¡¯s orders to attack me this time¡­¡± Ning Yan and Wang Yun had met a few times when they were young. This was why Ning Yan had an impression of Wang Yun. Later on, the two of them joined the Hunyuan Sect together. Later on, even after Wang Yun became the Saint, he was still extremely refined and easygoing. In addition, Wang Yun was quite handsome, so Ning Yan did not dislike this guy. Yu Chen looked at Ning Yan¡¯s innocent appearance and couldn¡¯t help but smile. ¡°I¡¯m curious what your expression will be when you see Wang Yun¡¯s true character.¡± ¡°Senior, in that case¡­ could it be possible that Wang Yun¡­¡± Ning Yan was deeply puzzled. Sensing another possibility, Ning Yan was not in a good mood. Fortunately, she was not engaged to Wang Yun yet. It was still possible to turn back. ¡°By the way, Senior, my name is Ning Yan. I¡¯m Ning Yan from the Ning clan. What about you?¡± Ning Yan suddenly changed the topic. Come to think about it, it had been quite a while, but neither party knew the other¡¯s name. ¡°Ning Yan?¡± Yu Chen thought for a moment. ¡°I¡¯m Chen Yu.¡± ¡­ The moment Yu Chen entered the Hunyuan Sect, he was discovered by a super mighty figure. In the Xuanming Mountain Range, in the center of a huge Spirit Gathering Array, Grand Elder Feng Yuan of the Hunyuan Sect suddenly opened his eyes. He opened his mouth and spoke softly, ¡°Oh? An avatar?¡± ¡°Allow me to deduce¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s impossible to determine his true identity, but¡ª¡± ¡°His bone age is less than 20 years old, he¡¯s at the second realm level ten, but his strength has reached third realm level seven.¡± ¡°The Talent Tree¡­ can¡¯t be deduced.¡± ¡°Such a genius actually sent his avatar to the Hunyuan Sect?¡± ¡°What¡¯s even stranger is that he cultivates the Primordial Chaos Art. So who is he?¡± ¡°Such a powerful demon-level genius would have since long been named a Saint in the Hunyuan Sect.¡± ¡°Interesting little fellow. I want to see what you¡¯re going to do.¡± ¡­ He entered the Hunyuan Sect. Yu Chen said to Ning Yan, ¡°If you want to see Wang Yun¡¯s true character, you can¡¯t appear in front of him with your true appearance.¡± Ning Yan¡¯s mood was a little off. She lowered her head and buried her exquisite face like an ostrich. Ning Yan said softly, ¡°I will go along with whatever Senior has planned.¡± Yu Chen had an expression as if he was teaching a young child. He said, ¡°In that case, put on some makeup first and pretend to be my junior sister. I¡¯ll bring you to acknowledge the ancestors.¡± Ning Yan was puzzled. ¡°Acknowledge the ancestors?¡± Yu Chen said, ¡°That¡¯s right. I¡¯m the disciple of the Hunyuan Sect¡¯s Saintess, Gongsun Yue. This is my first time returning to the sect.¡± Chapter 14 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Hunyuan Sect, in the Hunyuan Hall. The sect master of the Hunyuan Sect, many elders, and hall masters were gathered together. In the main hall, Yu Chen stood upright in the center, neither servile nor overbearing. Ning Yan sized up the suspicious elders around them and felt rather nervous as she hid behind Yu Chen. ¡°Ahem, you said you¡¯re Chen Yu, the disciple of the Saintess Gongsun Yue?¡± An elder spoke. Yu Chen nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s right. I was indeed Master¡¯s disciple when she was traveling.¡± ¡°This is my younger sister, Chen Yan. She was also Master¡¯s disciple.¡± ¡°We came back this time because we heard that Master was framed and imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. We decided to come back and seek justice.¡± At this point, the expression of an elder in the corner changed slightly. Fortunately, everyone¡¯s attention was focused on Yu Chen, so no one was paying attention to him. The elder beside the Sect Master said again, ¡°The matter regarding the Saintess Gongsun Yue was decided by our Sect¡¯s Grand Elder. It¡¯s not something you can be suspicious about.¡± ¡°Besides, if you wish to seek justice, you need to acknowledge your ancestors first.¡± Yu Chen stayed completely calm as he said, ¡°How should I do that?¡± The elder said, ¡°Of course it¡¯s by testing your cultivation of the Primordial Chaos Art!¡± ¡­ Primordial Chaos Art was a cultivation technique specially made for battle. Battle was naturally the most suitable way to test one¡¯s proficiency on the Primordial Chaos Art. In the arena, Yu Chen looked at the elder opposite him and cupped his hands. ¡°I¡¯m Chen Yu. May I know your name?¡± The red-robed elder opposite him narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯m Hu Kunlong, an outer sect elder, a second realm level nine cultivator!¡± In the Hunyuan Sect, there were many different kinds of elders. There was also a huge difference in the strength of the elders. Apart from distinguishing the disciples, the ranks of the outer sect, inner sect, and core were also used to distinguish the position of an elder. The so-called outer sect elders were the elders who managed the outer sect affairs. The same went for the inner sect and core elders. Outer sect elders were those who were old but had not broken through to the third realm. Yu Chen smiled calmly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but please allow me to call you little friend.¡± With that, a terrifying spiritual energy fluctuation suddenly broke out of his body and crushed towards Hu Kunlong like a tide. In an instant, Hu Kunlong felt as if he was in a storm. Under the pressure of Yu Chen¡¯s spiritual power, his eyes suddenly widened, and he hurriedly circulated his spiritual power to resist Yu Chen¡¯s pressure. Hu Kunlong¡¯s Talent Tree also appeared around him with the stimulation of his spiritual power. Nineteen mysterious streaks of starlight, arranged in a chevron. It could be seen that this person did not even have a middle-grade talent. Crack ~ The ground beneath Yu Chen¡¯s feet cracked slightly, and a terrifying pressure spread out from his body. This situation shocked the elders who were watching the battle. ¡°What? Second realm level ten!¡± ¡°Although I don¡¯t know about the Talent Tree, this terrifying pressure¡­¡± ¡°This kid looks to be less than twenty years old, but he has such a cultivation level? What kind of talent is this?!¡± ¡°Saintess Gongsun Yue really took in a good disciple.¡± ¡°Unfortunately, Gongsun Yue has already been imprisoned.¡± In the cultivation world, the more accomplished people are ranked higher. Yu Chen was at second realm level ten, while Elder Hu Kunlong was at second realm level nine. Although there was a huge difference in age, according to the rules, the other party should indeed call Yu Chen senior. Hu Kunlong¡¯s expression changed and he immediately said, ¡°This competition is only to test fellow Daoist¡¯s Primordial Chaos Art. It¡¯s not a real battle.¡± ¡°Fellow Daoist, shall we stop here?¡± As their cultivation was basically on a similar level, they should address each other as fellow Daoists. That, too, was the rule. Yu Chen did not mind. After all, he still had to give him some face. Otherwise, if he was forced into a corner, Yu Chen would not be able to control his strength in the end and injure this old fellow. Therefore, after learning of Yu Chen¡¯s powerful strength, Hu Kunlong began to test Yu Chen. The two of them exchanged moves using the Primordial Chaos Art. The transformation from spiritual power cultivation to physical cultivation, and then from physical cultivation to spiritual power cultivation. Lastly, there was the Battle Spirit Technique. The result shocked everyone. Logically speaking, Elder Hu Kunlong had been exposed to the Primordial Chaos Art for a longer time and should be more proficient in it. But looking at Yu Chen, he was no worse than Elder Hu Kunlong. ¡°It¡¯s the sect¡¯s fortune that such a genius is willing to return to the sect.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Unfortunately, he already has a master. Otherwise, I¡­¡± ¡°Oh? The Law Enforcement Elder actually intends to take in a disciple? What do you think of my brat?¡± The Law Enforcement Elder was the highest-level elder. Their cultivation level was usually at the beginning of the fourth realm. Even the Saint had to behave himself when he saw him. After the competition ended, Yu Chen smiled and cupped his hands at Hu Kunlong. ¡°Elder, I must have offended you quite a bit just now, but please take care of me in the future.¡± As he spoke, Yu Chen emphasized the words ¡®take care of me¡¯. According to the memories Gongsun Yue had shared with Yu Chen, Hu Kunlong was the elder who had given the hidden weapon to Gongsun Yue. Hu Kunlong had colluded with Wang Yun to frame Gongsun Yue, proving that he was Wang Yun¡¯s man. Therefore, Yu Chen secretly remembered this matter. Being stared at by Yu Chen, Hu Kunlong also coughed dryly. ¡°Ahem¡­ This¡­ Of course, of course¡­¡± With that, Hu Kunlong turned around and walked down the arena. Seeing that the matter was over, the elders who were watching the battle looked towards the sect master. The sect master of the Hunyuan Sect, Feng Changchun, was a mighty figure in the sixth realm. At this moment, Feng Changchun also looked at Yu Chen with a happy expression and said, ¡°Alright, since you have mastered the basics of the Primordial Chaos Art, you will be a member of my Hunyuan Sect from today onwards.¡± ¡°In the light of your identity, I¡¯ll let you become a true disciple of the Hunyuan Sect. You can listen to the lectures of various hall masters. How about that?¡± The Hall Master was a position above the elders of the Hunyuan Sect. The Hunyuan Sect had a total of 32 halls. Each hall was in charge of different matters. 32 halls also represented 32 different abilities. There are different kinds of abilities, such as alchemy, weapon refinement, talisman techniques, spells, array formations, sword techniques, and so on. Each of them belonged to one of the 32 halls. 32 halls, 30 hall masters, and 64 deputy hall masters. Usually, the deputy hall master would give the Dao lecture to the core disciples of the Hunyuan Sect. Yu Chen did not object. Instead, he said, ¡°Thank you, Sect Master. Then my junior sister¡­¡± At this moment, everyone took notice of Ning Yan who was beside Yu Chen. It was mainly because this person was too inconspicuous. Moreover, Yu Chen had given them too much of a shock, causing them to almost forget about Ning Yan. Ning Yan swallowed her saliva and felt the gazes of the seniors around her. She could not help but stand straight at the attention. It was as if she was being judged. Feng Changchun smiled. ¡°Since she¡¯s a first realm level ten cultivator, let her be a core disciple first.¡± ¡°We can talk about advancing to a true disciple when she breaks through to the second realm.¡± Originally, with the sect master¡¯s announcement, the matter should be settled. However, Yu Chen did not come here to be a true disciple. Yu Chen immediately asked, ¡°Sect Master, is the battle for the Immortal about to begin?¡± As soon as he said this, everyone thought: ¡°That¡¯s right. Although Yu Chen is still young, he has the strength to become a Saint.¡± ¡°However¡­ isn¡¯t it inappropriate to appoint him as the Saint as soon as he returns to the sect?¡± Yu Chen said calmly, ¡°Sect Master, I want to take the assessment to be a Saint.¡± There was an assessment one must take in order to be a Saint. If one passed, they would become a Saint. The Saints and Saintesses of the Hunyuan Sect were only appointed as Saints and Saintesses after passing the assessment. Yu Chen believed that with his strength, it would be easy for him to become a Saint. Most importantly, he could not let Wang Yun become the Immortal. Chapter 15 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Although Yu Chen made this request, the surrounding elders did not seem very eager to agree to his request. Even the Hall Masters, who had been silent, frowned. Yu Chen was too impatient. Sect Master Feng Changchun thought so too. Cultivators mainly cultivated their hearts. Be it cultivation or anything else, he could not be too impetuous. Yu Chen¡¯s action was the complete opposite. Is this partly because he is still young?¡¯ However, just as Sect Master Feng Changchun was about to reject his request, a calm elderly voice sounded in his mind. ¡®Accept his request, Xiao Chun.¡¯ Feng Changchun slowly opened his eyes and thought to himself, ¡®Father?¡¯ The elderly voice resounded again. ¡®Yes, this child is not simple. Remember to keep him in the sect. If the need were to arise, I will allow you to do everything you can.¡¯ These words made Feng Changchun¡¯s eyebrows twitch. Feng Changchun was now living in seclusion and usually would not care about sect matters. But now, he had specially sent him a voice transmission to ask him to keep Yu Chen in the sect. For the Grand Elder to speak like this, it could be seen how terrifying Yu Chen¡¯s talent was. Feng Changchun swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and changed his words. ¡°Very well. However, since you have just returned to the sect, it will be difficult to convince the masses to let you take the assessment.¡± ¡°Let us do it this way, the mystic realm assessment will be one level higher than usual. Are you alright with that?¡± One level of increase in difficulty? Previously, Yu Chen only knew that if he wanted to become a Saint, he had to participate in the assessment. But he didn¡¯t know what the assessment was. And now, the sect master was talking about the mystic realm and difficulty level. Although he did not understand it too well, Yu Chen knew that this was the best outcome possible. Yu Chen cupped his hands and said, ¡°Thank you for fulfilling my request, Sect Master.¡± The surrounding elders also looked at Yu Chen with strange expressions. It had to be known that the mystic realm trial to become Saint was extremely difficult to pass. Otherwise, there wouldn¡¯t only be five Saints and Saintesses after so many years. Adding another level of difficulty would make the already very difficult exam to be extremely difficult. Putting Yu Chen aside, perhaps even none of the outer sect elders who were currently present could pass the mystic realm trial. Even inner sect elders would fail miserably if they were not careful. Ning Yan, who was standing behind Yu Chen, tugged at Yu Chen¡¯s sleeve nervously and asked softly, ¡°Aren¡¯t you moving a little too fast?¡± With Yu Chen¡¯s talent, becoming Saint was a piece of cake. If Yu Chen revealed his talent, he might even become the Immortal on the spot. Therefore, why couldn¡¯t Yu Chen be more patient and wait a few years while doing some missions and contribute to the sect before taking the assessment? When the time came, wouldn¡¯t becoming Saint be a sure thing? However, if Yu Chen knew what Ning Yan was thinking, she would think that this girl was too naive. As expected of a puppet king, she didn¡¯t understand how a person¡¯s talent could arouse the envy of others. Although this was the Hunyuan Sect, who could guarantee one¡¯s absolute safety? After receiving the necklace from Ning Yan, Yu Chen had decided that he would only expose his Talent Tree only to those closest to him unless he had no other choice. ¡­ The mystic realm trials varied from person to person. The Talent Tree was not controlled by humans. Therefore, different cultivators would undergo different assessments in different mystic realms. Yu Chen stepped into the mystic realm and was teleported to a flat ground. The entire sky was pitch-black without any starlights. The platform stretched as far as the eye could see. Even Yu Chen¡¯s ¡®Psionic Perception¡¯ could not detect the border. Above the platform, three words formed by pure white spiritual power suddenly appeared. [The First Round] Swish! Swish! Dozens of shadows suddenly appeared around Yu Chen. These cultivators had empty eyes, but they all held long swords. After appearing, they attacked Yu Chen without a word. After counting carefully, a total of 36 cultivators attacked Yu Chen at the same time. Yu Chen opened his palm and said calmly, ¡°Primordial Chaos Art¡ªBattle Spirit Technique!¡± All his cultivation was transformed into spiritual power cultivation. Then, Yu Chen raised his foot and focused some of his spiritual power on his foot. Then, he stomped hard. Bang! A shock wave spread out, striking the puppets around it like a hurricane. That¡¯s right, they were not real people, but puppets created by the mystic realm. At the same time, the cultivation of these puppets was very low, only at the fifth level of the first realm. The shockwave from Yu Chen¡¯s explosion instantly overturned all the puppets. Crackle. The puppet¡¯s body was deformed by the powerful pressure. The difference in cultivation level and his terrifying spiritual power cultivation allowed Yu Chen to easily clear the level. Yu Chen¡¯s method of clearing the level was also seen by many elders. ¡°Although the difference in realms is huge, I¡­ didn¡¯t expect that it would be so easy for him.¡± ¡°It¡¯s actually possible to use the Battle Spirit Technique like this?¡± ¡°No, his spiritual power cultivation is extremely powerful. Although he seems to be at the tenth level of the second realm, he is infinitely close to the third realm. He is even on par with a third realm cultivator.¡± ¡°This is also the reason why he was able to use a shockwave of the spiritual power to defeat 36 first realm level five puppets at the same time.¡± ¡°This is too horrifying. How did he light his Talent Tree?¡± ¡°Could it be that he has a high-grade combat-type talent?¡± These elders might not have a very high cultivation, but they were knowledgeable and quickly determined that Yu Chen had a high-grade combat-type talent. This speculation also excited everyone who was currently present. Among the current Saints and Saintesses, only Saintess Xi Ling had a high-grade talent. However, although she had a high-grade talent, it was a support talent. It did not increase her combat strength by much. If Yu Chen had a high-grade combat talent, he could work together with Xi Ling. ¡­ Inside the mystic realm. [The Second Round] The first realm level puppet was easily defeated by Yu Chen. He successfully reached the second level. In the first round, there were 36 first realm level five puppets. In the second round, there were 18 first realm level ten puppets! A tenth-level cultivator was ten times stronger than a fifth-level cultivator. However, under Yu Chen¡¯s Battle Spirit Technique, he still killed a few with a single kick and sent a group flying with a single punch. [The Third Round] In the third round, there were nine second realm level five puppets. As he went through more rounds, the strength of the puppet increased greatly. Faced with so many puppets, Yu Chen had no choice but to retreat. Yu Chen moved quickly across the platform, dodging the puppets¡¯ attacks. ¡°Primordial Chaos Art!¡± After dodging another attack, Yu Chen took the opportunity to attack. He turned his cultivation into physical cultivation and punched one of the puppets in the chest. Bang! There was a powerful whooshing sound. The puppet was instantly sent flying and shattered into pieces in midair. It could be seen how powerful Yu Chen¡¯s punch was. When Yu Chen¡¯s strength cultivation was converted into spiritual power cultivation, only 30% of his ¡®increased by a hundred times strength¡¯ was used. If he had used strength cultivation, Yu Chen could unleash 100% of its power. Even if Yu Chen¡¯s body was only an avatar and only had a tenth of his original strength, it was still ten times more powerful than a second realm level ten cultivator. After defeating one puppet, the tide of the battle turned over. Yu Chen dodged the attacks and attacked repeatedly. After a while, all nine second realm level five puppets were defeated. Chapter 16 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios In the fourth round, there were five puppets with cultivation at the tenth level of the second realm. Puppets were not real cultivators, after all. They were less agile than real cultivators. But the key was that apart from their agility, these puppets were basically no different from cultivators. In addition, the innate skills awakened by these puppets could actually allow them to cooperate with each other. Innate skill referred to skills awakened in the Talent Tree. For example, Yu Chen¡¯s ¡®Psionic Perception¡¯ and ¡®External Avatar¡¯ were both innate skills. The awakened innate skills of the five puppets whose cultivation levels were in the fifth level second realm were also very compatible. Offensive, defensive, support, healing, functional. The offensive-type puppet was extremely fast. It came and went without a trace. Its entire figure turned into an afterimage as it chased after Yu Chen. The defensive-type puppet was huge and sturdy. Although it was not fast, it could always help the offensive-type puppet to block Yu Chen¡¯s attacks. The support-type puppet could increase all attributes for all puppets. The healing-type puppet could quickly repair damage sustained by the puppets. The functional-type puppet could quickly analyze and predict Yu Chen¡¯s next move and transmit it to the other puppets in real time. It would not be an exaggeration to call these five puppets a small army. Although Yu Chen had extraordinary strength, at that moment, he could not find a way to defeat the enemy. In the outside world, many elders started discussing. ¡°Isn¡¯t the difficulty-level too high?¡± ¡°It¡¯s already one against five, and they¡¯re in the same realm. Now, the puppets can actually cooperate with each other¡­¡± ¡°In the past, there were only three puppets of the same realm in the Saint and Saintesses¡¯ trial. Isn¡¯t the difficulty-level too high?¡± ¡°It should be more difficult to become the Saint after just returning, but this is too exaggerated.¡± The Sect Master heard the elders¡¯ words. Unfortunately, there was nothing Feng Changchun could do. This was all the Grand Elder¡¯s arrangement, not his intention. At the core of the Hunyuan Sect, Grand Elder Feng Yuan was also paying attention to Yu Chen¡¯s trial. ¡°Kid, it¡¯s not as easy as you think to use an avatar to be the Saint of my Hunyuan Sect.¡± ¡­ The mystic realm trials varied from person to person. Yu Chen dodged the attack of the offensive-type puppet again and frowned at the five puppets that were cooperating in perfect harmony. ¡°I have no choice but to¡ª¡± ¡­ In the Heavenly Prison, inside Yu Chen¡¯s cage. Yu Chen, who was sitting cross-legged and previewing the talent tree, suddenly frowned. All along, Yu Chen had used half of his consciousness to control his avatar while the other half studied the Talent Tree in Heavenly Prison. At this moment, Yu Chen¡¯s main body in the Heavenly Prison saw the situation of the avatar. ¡°Hmm¡­ I guess it¡¯s time to max out the ¡®Strength God¡¯ talent.¡± [Strength God ¨C Top-grade: Strength increased by 500 times.] Sensing the terrifying increase in strength in his body, Yu Chen¡¯s eyes flashed in bewilderment. Shouldn¡¯t a top-grade ¡®Strength God¡¯ be a thousand times stronger? What was going on? It made no sense, but Yu Chen had no intention of stopping. [Strength God ¨C Divine-grade: Strength increased by 1,000 times.] In an instant, a burst of warmth engulfed Yu Chen. A shocking change was happening in his body. His meridians, flesh, bones, dantian¡­ Everything was moving toward a more perfect state. ¡­ On this day, the living beings on the continent felt their souls tremble. The clear sky suddenly darkened. In the sky, countless red fragments gathered together to form a human figure. The red giant looked down at the entire continent. It was as if his single palm strike could destroy the entire continent. Countless mighty figures who were hidden from the world looked up at the sky in horror ¡°God¡¯s¡­ miracle?¡± ¡®¡±I can¡¯t believe the legendary Strength God is real.¡± ¡°The descent of the Strength God proves that someone has lighted a divine-grade talent!¡± In a secret cave abode on the continent, an old man stood on the mountain peak with his hands behind his back. He looked at the Strength God who occupied the entire sky and muttered to himself, ¡°Is it really true that the highest cultivation level possible is the tenth realm?¡± Fortunately, the Strength God came and went quickly. Before long, the Strength God dissipated as if he had never existed. However, the living beings on the continent would not forget the feeling that they felt just now. In front of the Strength God, even a tenth realm cultivator was like an ant. ¡­ In the Hunyuan Sect, after the Strength God disappeared. Sensing the sudden god-like intervention that helped Yu Chen, Feng Yuan was shocked. As soon as the Strength God disappeared, Yu Chen¡¯s strength increased by nearly ten times! Under Yu Chen¡¯s attack, the originally unshakable defensive puppet was easily torn apart into pieces like paper. Immediately after, he punched each of them and successfully finished off the puppets in a few breaths. Although it was just a very ordinary punch, it had the illusion that it contained the Great Dao. An ordinary action could unleash terrifying power. It was really puzzling. Feng Yuan thought of a possibility and was so shocked that his eyelids twitched. After making a small deduction, he hurriedly sent a voice transmission to the Hunyuan Sect¡¯s Sect Master. ¡°We have to keep this child in the Hunyuan Sect at all costs. We also have to make him feel like he belongs in the Hunyuan Sect!¡± Feng Changchun was puzzled. ¡°Father¡­ why?¡± Feng Yuan said, ¡°This kid¡­ it is very likely that he has awakened the ¡®Strength God¡¯ talent! ¡°It¡¯s just that he doesn¡¯t want to expose his Talent Tree at the moment. You mustn¡¯t force him.¡± ¡°If nothing goes wrong, this child should be the Immortal of our Hunyuan Sect.¡± When Feng Changchun heard Feng Yuan¡¯s speculation, he also took a deep breath, his heart thumping. That was a divine-grade talent. Even in myths and legends, only the chosen ones would awaken that talent. ¡­ After awakening his divine-grade talent, Yu Chen passed the fourth round in one go. The elders who were paying attention to the battle from outside the mystic realm were all dumbfounded. What was going on? He was clearly being suppressed by five puppets a second ago. In the next second, he cleared the level by punching the puppets one by one? Only until Yu Chen walked out of the mystic realm did they come back to their senses. Sect Master Feng Changchun looked at Yu Chen¡¯s figure and thought to himself, ¡®Has he awakened a divine-level talent?¡¯ ¡°Chen Yu, you¡¯ve passed the first assessment. If you pass the second assessment, you can become the Saint of my Hunyuan Sect.¡± ¡°You have two choices now. One: postpone joining the selection of the Immortal for a hundred years.¡± ¡°Second, pass the second assessment in a limited time and then participate in the Immortal selection.¡± This was a rule that the Hunyuan Sect had specially set to choose the person with the most potential. There was a big possibility that the strength of the newly promoted Saint would be inferior to the previous Saint. Therefore, the Hunyuan Sect would give the new Saint a hundred years to catch up with the cultivation progress of the other Saints. A hundred years might seem long, but it was actually a little short for a cultivator. Yu Chen did not make a choice immediately. Instead, he said, ¡°Can I know more about the other Saints and Saintesses?¡± Information regarding Saints and Saintesses was top secret, but it was public knowledge to fellow Saints and Saintesses. Although Yu Chen was not a Saint yet, with his strength, he would become one sooner or later. Feng Changchun did not waste his breath. He reached out and sent a memory into Yu Chen¡¯s mind. Yu Chen reached into the memory and was slightly surprised. Unexpectedly, Wang Yun was actually a tenth level third realm cultivator? Moreover, what was even more ridiculous was that Wang Yun was not the Saint with the highest cultivation. The one with the highest cultivation was a Saintess called Xi Ling. Her cultivation level was actually at the fourth level of the fifth realm¡­ Chapter 17 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios It seemed that he had underestimated Wang Yun. He originally thought that Wang Yun would be a second realm cultivator at most, but he never expected Wang Yun to be close to the fourth realm. Just as Yu Chen was feeling conflicted, the Sect Master spoke. Feng Changchun said to Yu Chen, ¡°My Hunyuan Sect has the Chaos Tower. Time flows ten times faster inside the tower.¡± ¡°If you choose to compete after a hundred years, you can enter the tower to cultivate. Only ten years will pass in the real world after a hundred years inside.¡± Seeing Yu Chen¡¯s expression, Feng Changchun knew what he was worried about. Cultivators who had just started cultivating usually had some unfinished business in the mortal world. A hundred years of secluded cultivation might not be much for a cultivator¡¯s lifespan. But for those cultivators whose relatives did not cultivate, it was a lifetime. Yu Chen¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard that, but then he felt that it was a pity. His avatar could not cultivate. Otherwise, Yu Chen would definitely enter the Chaos Tower to cultivate. Thinking that Wang Yun actually had a third realm level ten cultivation, Yu Chen immediately decided that he needed to get stronger to ensure his victory. Just as he was about to choose to postpone the Immortal selection, Yu Chen suddenly thought of something. Wait¡­ The avatar only had a tenth of the original¡¯s strength. ¡®A tenth?¡¯ Yu Chen suddenly remembered that his ¡®External Avatar¡¯ talent was only a top-grade talent, not a divine-grade talent. ¡®Then¡­¡¯ ¡®Although I can¡¯t defeat him with 10% of my strength, I should be able to defeat him with my true strength, right?¡¯ Despite only having a second realm level ten cultivation, Yu Chen still had many powerful talents. Since Wang Yun dared to plot against Yu Chen, he had to pay the price. His opponent was still at large. Could Yu Chen let him off? He couldn¡¯t. After all, Yu Chen had awakened a cheat ability. Therefore, Yu Chen¡¯s gaze gradually became firm. He immediately said to the Sect Master, ¡°No, I choose to start the Immortal selection directly.¡± Facing the surprised gazes of the surrounding elders, Yu Chen¡¯s expression did not change. In the next second, Yu Chen controlled his main body in the prison and upgraded his ¡®External Avatar¡¯ talent. [External Avatar ¨C Divine-grade: Can produce a clone with 100% of the original¡¯s strength.] After lighting his talent, Yu Chen sensed that his clone¡¯s strength had increased exponentially. Suddenly, the entire world changed color. A ball of chaotic spiritual energy suddenly appeared in the sky above the continent. A terrifying pressure came from inside the ball, radiating out to all living beings on the continent. Yu Chen could clearly sense that this was actually a phenomenon caused by his awakening of a divine-level talent. Not long after, the chaos ball dissipated, once more leaving a psychological shadow on the living beings of the continent. Many elders also saw this wonder and started discussing. ¡°This¡­ is actually a divine-grade ¡®External Avatar¡¯?¡± ¡°Although I¡¯ve never seen it before, are the stories told in myths and legends actually true?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Hearing the elders¡¯ discussion, Yu Chen¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Good lord, could it be that when he had awakened his other talents, there were also such eye-catching phenomena? If so, wouldn¡¯t everyone have known that someone in the prison had awakened a top-grade and divine-grade talent? Thinking of this, sweat broke out on Yu Chen¡¯s forehead. A top-grade talent could attract the jealousy of mighty figures and cause death. By having a divine-grade talent, wouldn¡¯t it mean that the entire continent wanted to kill Yu Chen, the ¡®chosen one¡¯? Fortunately, Yu Chen had not been exposed yet¡­ Moreover, his avatar had a necklace to block the Talent Tree. As long as no one saw his Talent Tree, there wouldn¡¯t be a problem. Yu Chen suddenly thought of something. Since awakening a divine-grade talent could cause such an eye-catching phenomenon, why didn¡¯t Yu Chen consecutively light all the talent he wanted? After all, the shock brought by several divine-grade appearing together would be greater than if they appeared one-by-one. However, the matter would also be forgotten relatively quicker~ And so¡­ [ Absolute Genius ¨C Divine-grade: Cultivation speed increased by 10,000 times.] Yu Chen felt enlightened, and his understanding of cultivation deepened. The phenomenon above the continent began to form. A vast expanse of brilliant blue starlight shimmered over the continent. Before long, the phenomenon dissipated again. The living beings on the continent were already numb to this. In the past few days, top-grade and divine-grade talents had descended on the continent like cabbages. Yu Chen coughed dryly and also revealed an extremely surprised expression. In fact, Yu Chen was looking at the attributes of his talent tree. [ Absolute Genius ¨C Divine-grade: Cultivation speed increased by 10,000 times.] Immunity ¨C High-grade: Immune to 99.9% fire. Strength God ¨C Divine-grade: Strength increased by 1,000 times. Psionic Perception ¨C Low-grade: Sense everything within the range of spiritual power. External Avatar ¨C Divine-grade: Can produce a clone with 100% of the original¡¯s strength. Remaining Talent Points: 1] Yu Chen did not intend to use the remaining talent point directly. Currently, his main body was still studying the Talent Tree in the Heavenly Prison, so Yu Chen¡¯s cultivation level would not increase for the time being. He would use this talent point as a backup, just in case. ¡­ Someone in the Hunyuan Sect passed the first part of the Saint assessment. This news quickly spread throughout the entire Hunyuan Sect. Everyone in the Hunyuan Sect received this news. With the Immortal selection slated to begin soon, this matter was indeed a little sensitive. Now, if the Hunyuan Sect disciple who passed the first part of the assessment passed the second part of the assessment within the limited time, Then the number of Saints and Saintesses who could join the Immortal selection would increase from five to six. At that time, the winning chance of each Saint and Saintess would decrease greatly. At this moment, Yu Chen was undergoing the second assessment. After the phenomenon of a divine-grade talent awakening, everyone calmed down. Feng Changchun retracted his surprised gaze and said to Yu Chen, ¡°There are two parts to the Saint assessment. The first is to pass the trial of the mystic realm, and the second is to complete a specific mission from the sect.¡± ¡°This mission will be personally chosen and issued by the Sect Master.¡± ¡°Considering your special situation, our sect will increase the difficulty of your assessment mission by a level. Are you fine with that?¡± Although the Grand Elder had asked Feng Changchun to do everything he could to keep Yu Chen in the sect, this was still a rule that could not be easily changed. Of course, if Yu Chen really didn¡¯t accept the condition, he would think of other ways to keep him in the sect. However, Yu Chen did not know about this. He only nodded firmly. ¡°I accept.¡± Feng Changchun revealed a gentle expression. ¡°Very good. Your next mission is to clean up the demonic creatures on the east side of the Xuanming Mountain Range.¡± As soon as he said this, the elders hurriedly tried to dissuade him. ¡°Sect Master, you can¡¯t!¡± ¡°No, that demon is too powerful. Chen Yu can¡¯t win against it.¡± ¡°Yes, there are even Fourth Realm demon beasts. If Chen Yu¡¯s talent dies prematurely, it will be a huge loss for our Hunyuan Sect.¡± Feng Changchun shook his head slowly. ¡°I think you¡¯ve misunderstood. Chen Yu¡¯s mission is to clear ten demonic creatures of the second realm and one demonic creature of the third realm.¡± ¡°These demonic creatures can be found at the periphery. There¡¯s no need to go deep into the blood pool.¡± Hearing this, everyone was relieved. Immediately, many elders came forward to remind Yu Chen. They had explained the characteristics and weaknesses of the demonic creatures clearly. Some even gave their treasures to Yu Chen. How could Yu Chen not understand that they wanted to build a good relationship with him in advance? After all, Yu Chen¡¯s performance was too outstanding. If nothing went wrong, who knew what could happen in the future¡­ This was not the unity and friendliness of the sect, but the way of the world. Chapter 18 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios In the Heavenly Prison. ¡®Kid, what I said is the truth. Don¡¯t be fooled by those pretentious animals.¡¯ ¡®I was once a Wuling Sect Sect Master with good character. They drove me to do all this.¡¯ ¡®As long as you¡¯re willing to help me escape, when I make a comeback, I¡¯m willing to give you a hundred million high-grade spirit stones, ten top-grade magic weapons, a divine beast pet egg, five top-grade cultivation techniques, and a hundred immortal beauties. I¡¯m also willing to let you be the Sect Master of my Wuling Sect and become an existence above everyone else.¡¯ ¡®Little friend, are you listening to me?¡¯ ¡®Don¡¯t think that I¡¯m lying to you. I can really pay you that much.¡¯ ¡®As long as you destroy five of the array formations on my body, I will be able to escape. At that time, I will definitely pay you in full.¡¯ ¡®Kid! Little bastard, say something!¡¯ The Blood Demon¡¯s voice echoed in Yu Chen¡¯s mind. This made Yu Chen unable to calm down and comprehend the Talent Tree. It was really uncomfortable. The old Blood Demon was probably obsessed with Yu Chen and bombarded him with words for hours. Most importantly, this fellow did not stop at all, causing Yu Chen to feel as if a demonic voice had pierced through his ears. Most importantly, Yu Chen could not block out this guy. He felt terrible. Finally, Yu Chen could not help but snap. Yu Chen gritted his teeth and said, ¡®Blood Demon, can you shut up and be quiet for a while?¡¯ The Blood Demon said, ¡®What did you say? How dare you scold me?¡¯ ¡®Do you know who I am?¡¯ Yu Chen said, ¡®An old beast trapped in a prison!¡¯ The Blood Demon said, ¡®Kid, don¡¯t do this the hard way. I can only verbally attack you.¡¯ Yu Chen was speechless. ¡­ On the other side, Yu Chen was tortured by the Blood Demon in the Heavenly Prison. On this side, Yu Chen received the mission issued by the sect master and immediately set off with Ning Yan. Along the way, Yu Chen analyzed, ¡°The news of me passing the first round of assessment should have already reached Wang Yun¡¯s ears.¡± ¡°This guy has been eye-ing the position of the Immortal for a long time. He definitely doesn¡¯t want a Saint who suddenly appeared like me to compete with him.¡± ¡°Therefore, if everything goes according to my expectations, Wang Yun will either send someone to disrupt my assessment or directly assassinate me.¡± Listening to Yu Chen¡¯s analysis, Ning Yan was filled with disbelief. After all, this was too different from the Wang Yun in her impression. Therefore, Ning Yan couldn¡¯t help but retort, ¡°The position of Saint belongs to the capable.¡± ¡°Senior, you¡¯re so powerful. Moreover, just like Wang Yun, you are also a member of the Hunyuan Sect. He should be happy that the Hunyuan Sect has another Saint. How can he be so petty?¡± ¡°In my impression, Wang Yun is not such a villain!¡± After all, the Hunyuan Sect was not a demonic sect. The competition in the sect was about virtue. Usually, competition within a sect would not have the mentality of sending the other party to eternal damnation¡­ Wang Yun was also a Saint, so he definitely knew about this. How could he harm Yu Chen? Besides, Wang Yun did not know Yu Chen, so there was even less reason for him to harm Yu Chen. One had to know that even though they didn¡¯t know each other at all, he still wanted to kill Yu Chen or send him to Heavenly Prison. This kind of person¡­ he was crazy! Ning Yan couldn¡¯t help but nod. Only a lunatic would send his fellow sect members to the Heavenly Prison and kill them. Yu Chen did not explain further. ¡°Just forget about it if you don¡¯t believe me.¡± There was still time. Yu Chen did not believe that Wang Yun would let him off. Yu Chen was a genius who had suddenly appeared. Although his cultivation had not reached a high realm, Wang Yun was a person who would not allow any accidents to happen. Therefore, Yu Chen¡¯s appearance had already gone against his interests. After Ning Yan heard Yu Chen¡¯s analysis, she hurried along the way without saying anything. In fact, Yu Chen had brought Ning Yan along with ill intentions. Although Wang Yun tried to assassinate Ning Yan, he was stopped by Yu Chen. If Ning Yan did not follow Yu Chen, she would most likely become Wang Yun¡¯s fianc¨¦e. And exposing Wang Yun¡¯s true character in front of his fianc¨¦e made Yu Chen secretly happy. Still ¡­ ¡°But, let me be honest, you¡¯re a little¡ª¡± Yu Chen suddenly smiled and said, ¡°He already tried to assassinate you, yet you¡¯re still speaking up for him. You¡¯re simply a fool.¡± In fact, when he read novels in his previous life, there were several instances in which Yu Chen had wanted to criticize some supporting female characters. This time, Yu Chen could finally express his thoughts directly. Ning Yan¡¯s pretty face stiffened from Yu Chen¡¯s scolding. She immediately waved her small fists angrily and said, ¡°What?? You actually said that I¡¯m stupid?¡± Yu Chen looked at Ning Yan frankly and asked in confusion, ¡°Did I say anything wrong? If you had any brains, you would have thought about it and agreed with me.¡± ¡°Senior¡­ you!¡± Ning Yan¡¯s beautiful eyes suddenly turned misty as she said in a choked voice, ¡°Although it¡¯s true¡­ uh¡­ but I¡­ just can¡¯t believe that Wang Yun would become that kind of person! I¡¯m also here to seek the truth with Senior¡­¡± Yu Chen stopped and scratched his head. ¡°Oh¡­ you seem to be right. Then I apologize. I shouldn¡¯t have scolded you.¡± Seeing that Yu Chen was actually apologizing seriously, Ning Yan stopped and turned her face to the side. ¡°Hmph, that¡¯s more like it. Anyway, I¡¯m not a fool.¡± A fool usually would not admit to being a fool. Yu Chen was speechless. Of course, Yu Chen didn¡¯t say anything else. Otherwise, this girl would probably cry on the spot. Yu Chen did not want to comfort the girl, so he did not say anything. Yu Chen continued on his way. Ning Yan looked at Yu Chen¡¯s back and gritted her teeth as she stomped her feet and quickly followed. ¡°Senior, wait for me!¡± In fact, she had just followed Yu Chen¡¯s train of thoughts and realized that she was indeed a little silly. However, she would never admit to such a thing. Otherwise, she would not only be a fool but also an idiot. Moreover, no one could accept that a refined and easygoing person was actually a beast in human clothing. After catching up with Yu Chen, Ning Yan couldn¡¯t help but complain in her heart, ¡®Hmph! He¡¯s so talented but doesn¡¯t have a Dao companion. Indeed, it has something to do with his loose tongue¡¯¡­ Just like that, the two of them left the sect. Although the Hunyuan Sect occupied the entire Xuanming Mountain Range, the eastern side of the mountain range was occupied by the Blood Pool. The blood pool emitted a terrifying bloody aura. Cultivators and living beings affected by the bloody aura would become monsters that only knew how to kill. Inside the blood pool, there was a bloody barrier that even the Grand Elder of the Hunyuan Sect could not destroy. Therefore, the area around the blood pool was classified as a forbidden area. The area affected by the blood pool was also used by the Hunyuan Sect as a place to train its disciples. Before entering the blood pool, Yu Chen and Ning Yan were given a traction bracelet by the old man guarding the blood pool. With the bracelet, they could walk in the blood mist without being affected by the bloody aura. As soon as she entered the range of the blood pool, Ning Yan became nervous. She hid behind Yu Chen and carefully observed her surroundings. Yu Chen said, ¡°The greatest source of danger here is not demons, but humans.¡± Before Ning Yan could understand what was going on, she heard a gentle voice from the sky. ¡°The quasi-Saint is right, but this human doesn¡¯t intend to hurt the lady. Please leave quickly.¡± Chapter 19 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios This voice came from the direction of the sky, accompanied by a heavy pressure. Ning Yan tried her best to look up at the sky. When she saw this person¡¯s face, her breathing stopped. The symbol of a Third Realm cultivator: Flight! Yu Chen¡¯s lips curled into a smile. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to come personally.¡± In the sky, Wang Yun stared at Yu Chen and said, ¡°Oh? You knew I would come?¡± Yu Chen smiled and said, ¡°Of course. You¡¯re the legendary Saint Wang Yun. Once your interests are affected, you will crazily take revenge.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve framed a lot of people over the years, haven¡¯t you?¡± These two sentences shocked Wang Yun. He had violated the sect rules by doing those things. Moreover, only people from the demonic path would do such a thing. It was precisely because of this that Wang Yun¡¯s method of keeping matters a secret was perfect. But this was Chen Yu¡¯s first time returning to the sect, so how could he know so much? This disciple of Saintess Gongsun Yue, could it be¡­ Although he was exposed, Wang Yun did not show any signs of remorse. Instead, he said humbly, ¡°It¡¯s just an empty title¡­¡± Yu Chen clicked his tongue in wonder. ¡°You actually admitted it. You don¡¯t really think you¡¯ve got us, do you?¡± Wang Yun looked at Ning Yan and reminded her, ¡°Miss, I have no ill intentions towards you. Please leave quickly.¡± ¡°You¡­ you!¡± Ning Yan was shocked. She never expected Yu Chen to be right about everything. Was Wang Yun really such a person? How was this different from cultivating the demonic path? What happened to the healthy competition within the sect? What happened to the sect rules? Why did it seem to be meaningless when it came to Wang Yun? Finally, Ning Yan couldn¡¯t take it anymore. She removed her disguise and revealed her original beauty. She frowned and questioned angrily, ¡°Wang Yun! Are you really such a person?¡± Wang Yun narrowed his eyes and sized up Ning Yan. He asked curiously, ¡°Miss, although I admit that you¡¯re quite beautiful, I really can¡¯t remember where I¡¯ve seen you before.¡± Ning Yan was furious and said, ¡°I am Ning Yan!¡± ¡°Ning Yan? Let me think¡­¡± Wang Yun thought hard. After a long time, he finally looked enlightened. ¡°Oh~¡± ¡°Why are you still alive?¡± Ning Yan took a deep breath. ¡°As expected, it was you who sent someone to assassinate me¡­¡± Wang Yun said honestly, ¡°Of course. It¡¯s much easier for one clan to control a kingdom rather than two clans.¡± ¡°With you here, the children of the Wang clan cannot be kings.¡± ¡°Sigh¡­ I originally wanted to let you off, but I didn¡¯t expect you to be Ning Yan. I have no choice.¡± ¡°You¡­ don¡¯t need to leave either.¡± ¡°What?¡± Ning Yan was shocked. Seeing this, Yu Chen teased Ning Yan, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. In any case, he has no intention of letting you off.¡± ¡°You saw his true character. Do you expect him to just let you leave?¡± When Wang Yun heard this, he looked at Yu Chen with admiration. ¡°As expected of the quasi-Saint, you see through things so clearly.¡± ¡°Then I won¡¯t hide it. Men!¡± Swish! Swish! Swish! In a flash, Yu Chen and Ning Yan were instantly surrounded by Wang Yun¡¯s subordinates. Elder Hu Kunlong looked at Yu Chen with bright eyes and said angrily, ¡°Junior, when you defeated me in public that day, did you ever think that this day would come?¡± Regarding this, Yu Chen replied casually, ¡°As expected of Wang Yun¡¯s lackey. You two are so alike.¡± ¡°Hehe, what a sharp-tongued kid. Even now, you still want to get the last word.¡± Hu Kunlong raised his hand. ¡°Form the formation!¡± In an instant, dozens of Talent Trees appeared around him. Looking at their Talent Tree, most of them were around the fifth level of the second realm. These men in black circulated their spiritual energy and stood in all directions around Yu Chen and Ning Yan. The distance between them was quite regular, forming an array formation. ¡°Primordial Chaos Art!¡± Yu Chen turned his palm down and turned all his physical cultivation into spiritual power cultivation. Flying was not a privilege that can be acquired only by reaching the third realm. As long as the quality of the spiritual energy was sufficient, anyone could fly! Yu Chen pulled Ning Yan up and spiritual energy surged under his feet. He jumped dozens of meters into the air and stood opposite Wang Yun. The array below was useless against Yu Chen. ¡°He actually managed to do things that only third realm cultivators could do with his second-realm cultivation. As expected of a quasi-Saint.¡± ¡°As expected, coming on this trip was the right course of action. Keeping you around will pose a hidden danger sooner or later.¡± Wang Yun said those words calmly after seeing that Yu Chen had actually flown up. He raised his hand and used the Primordial Chaos Art. ¡°Primordial Chaos Art¡ªSwordsmanship Technique!¡± Clang! Nine spiritual swords were summoned by Wang Yun and stood around him. As he controlled them, these spiritual swords flew striking towards Yu Chen. Sensing the terrifying spiritual power carried by the spiritual sword, Yu Chen did not dare to be careless. He condensed his spiritual power on his fist and punched out with all his might. Bang! A deafening boom sounded, and Wang Yun¡¯s pupils constricted slightly midair. This terrifying strength of the spiritual power¡­ Yu Chen¡¯s ¡®Strength God¡¯ talent gave him a 1,000-fold increase in strength. After using the Primordial Chaos Art to completely transform it into spiritual power cultivation, it was now more than 300 times stronger. In other words, Yu Chen¡¯s spiritual power cultivation exceeded that of ordinary cultivators of the same level by 300 times! This value was already infinitely close to a fourth realm cultivator. Therefore, Wang Yun was slightly shocked. Could it be that Yu Chen had a high-grade talent? Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to unleash the strength of a third realm level ten cultivation with his second realm level ten cultivation. Wang Yun quietly made up his mind to kill Yu Chen here. With a casual strike, Yu Chen repelled Wang Yun¡¯s spiritual swords. These spiritual swords flew back at an even faster speed. Yu Chen took this opportunity to retreat with Ning Yan. Actually, Yu Chen was not afraid of Wang Yun. But the problem was that Yu Chen still had Ning Yan, who was a burden. Spiritual energy surged under Yu Chen¡¯s feet, and he covered hundreds of meters in a few breaths. Wang Yun thought that Yu Chen wanted to escape, so he ordered Hu Kunlong, ¡°What are you waiting for? Hurry up and chase after him!¡± Hu Kunlong was annoyed by Wang Yun¡¯s tone, but he did not dare to disobey and chased after him. On the other side, Yu Chen had already descended from the sky and pulled Ning Yan, who was pestering him like an octopus, off her body. ¡°Girl, can you have some shame?¡± Yu Chen complained. Ning Yan¡¯s face was pale. ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m afraid of heights¡­¡± Yu Chen was a little speechless. There were actually cultivators who were afraid of heights¡­ Just as he was about to turn around and fight Hu Kunlong¡¯s group, Yu Chen realized that Ning Yan had grabbed his sleeve. Ning Yan took out two golden talismans from her storage ring and said, ¡°Senior, the other side has more people. Anyway, it will be difficult to win against so many people. Let¡¯s retreat!¡± Yu Chen immediately recognized that this was a Thousand Mile Talisman. It could allow a cultivator to travel thousands of kilometers in an instant. It was an extremely rare consumable life-saving talisman that usually only disciples of large clans possessed. However, Yu Chen shook his head. ¡°No, no, no. Why are we running?¡± ¡°It wasn¡¯t easy for me to meet this beast. I can¡¯t stand not killing him.¡± Wang Yun had violated the sect¡¯s ¡®friendly competition¡¯ rules and caused Yu Chen to be imprisoned. How could Yu Chen let him off? Mind you, until now, the disciples of the Hunyuan Sect still remembered the core disciple who wanted to steal the true legacy core technique not long ago. After Wang Yun exposed him, everyone treated him like a clown. Yu Chen had yet to settle the score for this matter with Wang Yun. Chapter 20 - Who Taught Him? Chapter 20 Who Taught Him? ¡°Wh-what?¡± Ning Yan opened her mouth in shock. For a moment, she felt that Yu Chen was a lunatic. He was a second realm level ten cultivator, but the other side was a third realm level ten cultivator. Furthermore, the other party had so many subordinates. Under such circumstances, any normal person would choose to avoid battle. But what about Yu Chen? He actually planned to turn back? Then why had he suddenly retreated hundreds of meters just so that he could send her to a safe place? Thinking of this, Ning Yan felt a little touched, but unfortunately, she was overwhelmed by a sense of powerlessness. Senior, oh, Senior, why did you have to send yourself to death despite having such powerful talent? Ning Yan swallowed her saliva, grabbed Yu Chen again, and forcefully gave him a Thousand Mile Talisman. Ning Yan bade farewell to Yu Chen. ¡°Senior, even if you really can¡¯t win, try to not die!¡± At this moment, Yu Chen did not refuse. After all, it was a token of appreciation from the other party. After accepting the Thousand Mile Talisman, Yu Chen saw Ning Yan activate the Thousand Mile Talisman in her hand. In an instant, Ning Yan¡¯s body was wrapped in a golden light that shot into the sky. In the blink of an eye, she was gone. Behind him, Hu Kunlong had already caught up with them. Yu Chen stood on the spot and stretched his body. At the same time, he used the Primordial Chaos Art to convert all his cultivation into physical cultivation. ¡°I say, you really are a good dog.¡± ¡°You know you can¡¯t beat me, but you still listen to your master. Come and bite me.¡± Yu Chen mocked him and suddenly flew towards Hu Kunlong. As Yu Chen was quite strong, he flew over at an extremely fast speed. Hu Kunlong, who was a second-realm cultivator, did not have the time to react. Yu Chen clenched his fist and punched straight at Hu Kunlong¡¯s chest. In an instant, Hu Kunlong¡¯s entire body turned cold. He felt the scene around him recede, and his body was knocked unconscious by the powerful force. At the last moment before he closed his eyes, Hu Kunlong saw his left leg hanging on the tree¡­ The powerful force directly destroyed the body of the second realm cultivator! After killing a second realm cultivator with a single punch, the shock that Yu Chen gave everyone was too terrifying. The men in black stopped in their tracks and looked at Yu Chen fearfully. What kind of monster was this? They were both second realm cultivators, so why couldn¡¯t Hu Kunlong withstand a single strike from him? Besides, who taught him this straightforward fighting style? They were all cultivators, not martial artists. It wouldn¡¯t be good for them to directly smash someone into pieces with their fists, right? Shouldn¡¯t everyone be casting spells from afar to slowly exhaust the enemy¡¯s spiritual power? Although the men in black did not attack Yu Chen, Yu Chen would not hold back. He knew that this group was sent here to kill him. Therefore, killing them would at most be self-defense. At most, so what if he was being overly defensive? Therefore, as Yu Chen dodged Wang Yun¡¯s spiritual sword, he punched all his subordinates to death. The scene was extremely bloody and nauseating. After doing all this, Yu Chen could not help but think of himself as a sicko. But he had no choice. This was not the peaceful world of his previous life. ¡®Here, if you don¡¯t kill someone, they¡¯ll kill you.¡¯ Wang Yun was the only enemy left. Yu Chen no longer had any reservations and looked up at him. Wang Yun immediately felt a chill in his heart. After all, Yu Chen¡¯s performance was not something a second-realm cultivator could do. Faced with Yu Chen¡¯s furious gaze, Wang Yun couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously, ¡°Brother, have we met before?¡± With that said, he controlled the spiritual sword to attack Yu Chen. ¡°Primordial Chaos Art!¡± Yu Chen turned his cultivation into spiritual power and covered his fist with spiritual power before throwing another punch. Boom ~ Spiritual energy exploded, forcing Wang Yun¡¯s flying sword back and stabbing deep into the rock. Facing Wang Yun¡¯s spiritual sword, Yu Chen was unable to use his physical strength to attack. After all, spiritual swords were very sharp, and Yu Chen¡¯s talent did not increase his defense. If he used his fist directly, his fist might be cut off. Therefore, facing Wang Yun¡¯s spiritual sword, Yu Chen could only wrap his fist in spiritual energy and use the battle spirit technique to erupt the spiritual energy and send the spiritual sword flying. But even so, the spiritual sword was still extremely sturdy and could not be destroyed by Yu Chen. In that case¡­ Yu Chen bent his knees slightly and jumped up to Wang Yun¡¯s level again. The cold wind blew, and Yu Chen¡¯s clothes fluttered in the wind. They stood in midair, facing each other from a distance. Wang Yun raised one hand and summoned all the spiritual swords around him again. ¡°Are you really only a second realm cultivator?¡± Wang Yun asked again, but unfortunately, Yu Chen responded by madly charging straight towards him. ¡°Hmph¡­¡± Wang Yun snorted coldly. The nine spiritual swords combined and pierced towards Yu Chen. The spiritual power above the giant spiritual sword was more than ten times stronger than that of ordinary spiritual swords. Yu Chen made a slight estimation and knew that he could not take the hit directly. After all, there was still a huge gap between their cultivation realms. Since the opponent had used his ultimate move, it was better for him to take the safer option. Therefore, he punched out and shook the air on his side, pushing his body to the side. Yu Chen barely avoided the sword beam by standing on the side of the huge spiritual sword. As he got closer, Yu Chen could feel a slight tearing sensation coming from the huge spiritual sword. It was as if one would be split into two just by touching it. After avoiding the spiritual sword, Yu Chen rushed towards Wang Yun again. Right now, he had yet to light a combat-type talent in the Talent Tree. Therefore, they could only fight in this barbaric way. Yu Chen¡¯s talent was either an attribute-type talent like the ¡®Strength God¡¯, or the ¡®External Avatar¡¯ and ¡®Psionic Perception¡¯ talent. Even now, Yu Chen did not have any combat talent. Wang Yun¡¯s Swordsmanship Technique was one of his combat-type talents. It was powerful and could be considered one of the top hundred combat-type talents. Seeing Yu Chen attack again, Wang Yun frowned and thought to himself, ¡®As expected, he¡¯s only a second realm cultivator?¡¯ Yu Chen¡¯s combat style did not seem like that of a third realm cultivator. However, the combat strength he displayed was infinitely close to a fourth realm cultivation. Wang Yun directly recalled the spiritual sword and waved his hand. The huge spiritual sword shattered into nine small spiritual swords. The spiritual swords flew towards Yu Chen. Their power was incomparably powerful. Ordinary second-realm cultivators would definitely die if the swords touched them. Seeing Wang Yun use the same trick again, Yu Chen couldn¡¯t help but mock, ¡°Have you run out of tricks?¡± ¡°The small spiritual sword can be repelled by me, and the huge spiritual sword can be avoided by me. Once I get close, it will be your death!¡± ¡°HA!¡± Powerful spiritual energy erupted from his body and sent Wang Yun¡¯s spiritual sword flying again. Yu Chen took a step forward. There was only a few meters of distance left between them. This distance was basically negligible for a cultivator. Yu Chen circulated his vast spiritual energy and punched Wang Yun. Wang Yun pressed his fingers together. A talisman appeared on his fingertips and quickly burned. ¡°Golden Imperial Talisman.¡± THUD ¨C A quiet bell sounded, and a lifelike golden bell-shaped barrier wrapped around Wang Yun. Bang! Yu Chen¡¯s attack landed on the barrier with a dull thud. Unfortunately, the barrier didn¡¯t budge. Inside the barrier, Wang Yun frowned and looked at Yu Chen. ¡°What a difficult second realm cultivator to deal with.¡± Chapter 21 - Even I Myself Think So Chapter 21 Even I Myself Think So Roar ~ A muffled roar came from inside the blood pool. Wang Yun and Yu Chen¡¯s hearts skipped a beat as they looked into the blood pool. Legend had it that the Blood Fiend Demon was hiding in the blood pool. It was a believer of the Blood Demon and only focused on killing and sacrificing blood for the Blood Demon. Unfortunately, the Blood Demon was trapped in the Heavenly Prison, so the Blood Fiend Demon hid in the blood pool and stopped killing. But this voice¡­ Could it be that the Blood Fiend Demon had left the blood pool? When Wang Yun thought of this possibility, his face immediately turned pale. He shouted, and a terrifying spiritual energy shock wave blasted Yu Chen away. Then, Wang Yun controlled the nine spiritual swords and chopped Hu Kunlong and the men in black into meat paste. After that, Wang Yun hurriedly took out a golden talisman. After activating it, he turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the horizon. Yu Chen also felt that something was amiss. Accompanied by a roar, a dense blood aura attacked in a surge. The terrifying killing intent covered the sky and earth, and could even affect a cultivator¡¯s mind. Knowing that the situation was bad, Yu Chen did not delay any longer and took out the Thousand Mile Talisman that Ning Yan had given him. ¡°Good lord, Ning Yan, I didn¡¯t expect that I would have to thank you in the end.¡± Without this Thousand Mile Talisman, Yu Chen probably wouldn¡¯t be able to leave. Within the Primordial Chaos Sect, north of the Xuanming Mountain Range, in the border forest of the Fallen Saint Empire. This place was deserted and was a paradise for demons. The overlord, the Giant Flame Dragon, went out to find food. On the way back, before he could climb into his house, he saw a golden light falling from the sky. When the Giant Flame Dragon stuck out its tongue and looked at its nest, it saw a human woman suddenly appear. What was even more unacceptable was that this human woman was holding a fiery red egg in her arms. ma That¡­ was its darling baby! Ning Yan was stunned. He looked at the Giant Flame Dragon, which was as thick as a water tank and dozens of meters long with two horns on its head. Sensing that she was actually carrying the Giant Flame Dragon Egg that was half the height of a person, Ning Yan explained, ¡°This¡­ this¡­ can you listen to my explanation? This is all a misunderstanding.¡± The Giant Flame Dragon seemed to understand, but it also didn¡¯t seem to understand. It stayed outside and didn¡¯t come in. It just stared at the egg beside Ning Yan. That egg was its sweet baby, but now it was taken by a human. Ning Yan thought that the Giant Flame Dragon understood, so she was delighted. She recounted her experience in detail, only to see the Giant Flame Dragon staring at her with its head tilted. It seemed to be asking: What is this human talking about? Ning Yan: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°You don¡¯t understand, do you? It doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t. Just know that I mean you no harm.¡± ¡°Of course, I don¡¯t have any ill intentions towards your baby either. Hehehe~¡± Ning Yan smiled and stood up. As soon as she left the Giant Flame Dragon egg, something unexpected happened. As soon as she left, the Giant Flame Dragon seemed to have gone berserk and charged at her. Ning Yan was so frightened that her face turned pale. She hurriedly turned around and ¡®held¡¯ the Giant Flame Dragon egg hostage. Good God, that worked! After approaching the Giant Flame Dragon¡¯s egg, the Giant Flame Dragon indeed calmed down. It stared at Ning Yan warily, but it did not attack again, as if it was afraid that Ning Yan would hurt its baby. Ning Yan wanted to cry. ¡°Big Brother¡­ No, Big Sister!¡± ¡°You¡­ Look, I don¡¯t really want to hold your baby hostage. Can¡¯t you just let me go?¡± However, as soon as Ning Yan left the egg, she was attacked by the Giant Flame Dragon¡­ Ning Yan was shocked and returned. This situation was more or less awkward. Ning Yan was so frightened by the Giant Flame Dragon that she broke out in cold sweat, but she didn¡¯t dare to leave the egg. However, if she did not leave the Giant Flame Dragon egg, Ning Yan would not be able to leave. How about¡­ Ning Yan picked up the Giant Flame Dragon egg and began to move out. As expected, the Giant Flame Dragon was afraid that Ning Yan would fight to the death, so it didn¡¯t attack her. Ning Yan was overjoyed and hurriedly quickened her pace. Unfortunately, the Giant Flame Dragon followed her closely, as if Ning Yan would leave with its baby if it was any slower. No one had passed through this wilderness. Moreover, would Ning Yan have to carry the egg and travel such a long distance? Ning Yan was dumbfounded. She sat on the ground dejectedly and could not help but miss Yu Chen. If Yu Chen were here, he would definitely finish off the Giant Flame Dragon with a punch quietly and then use its egg to stir the vegetables. ¡°Damn it¡­ The Thousand Mile Talisman can only be used once every three days. Do I have to wait three days?¡± Ning Yan was in despair. To confront a demon overlord for three days? Not to mention three days, even three hours was too much for Ning Yan. Now she was both afraid to leave the egg and afraid to break it. ¡°Boohoo~ Why do I have to go through this?¡± Ning Yan felt very aggrieved. Unfortunately, it was useless no matter how aggrieved she felt. She could only endure it. Looking at the Giant Flame Dragon fearfully, Ning Yan said in a negotiating tone, ¡°Big¡­ Big Sister, let¡¯s talk this out.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll return your child to you. How about you let me live?¡± ¡°Nod if you understand me, sister.¡± What responded to Ning Yan was not the Giant Flame Dragon, but the laughter that descended from the sky. ¡°Hahahaha! How interesting¡­¡± Ning Yan suddenly looked up and saw Yu Chen standing in the sky. Looking at Yu Chen¡¯s figure, Ning Yan¡¯s eyes unknowingly moistened. She finally couldn¡¯t help but cry out, ¡°Wuwuwu~ Senior, this Giant Flame Dragon bullied me!¡± Yu Chen couldn¡¯t help but land on the ground and retort, ¡°You bandit, you stole someone else¡¯s egg, and you expect not to be bullied?¡± Seeing Yu Chen walk over, Ning Yan seemed to have found her backbone. She hurriedly left the Giant Flame Dragon egg and wanted to approach Yu Chen. However, Yu Chen suddenly raised his hand and shouted, ¡°Go back!¡± Ning Yan was shocked, but she did as Yu Chen said and retreated. Yu Chen glanced at the Giant Flame Dragon that was ready to attack and couldn¡¯t help but break out in a cold sweat. Ning Yan asked in confusion, ¡°Senior, why?¡± Yu Chen walked over quickly and said frustratedly, ¡°Because¡­ I can¡¯t beat this guy either.¡± Use Pointing at the Giant Flame Dragon, Yu Chen felt a little helpless. ¡°What? Senior, even you can¡¯t defeat him? It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over. We¡¯re really going to die this time. I don¡¯t want to die!¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t even found a husband yet. How can I die?¡± Ning Yan was dumbfounded. She never expected that even Yu Chen could not defeat the dragon. Yu Chen said helplessly, ¡°Good lord, you still don¡¯t believe me when I say you¡¯re a fool?¡± Ning Yan was stunned. She looked at Yu Chen with tears in her eyes. ¡°Senior¡­ Senior, we¡¯re already in this kind of situation. We¡¯re about to become a pitiful couple. Do you still want to scold me?¡± Yu Chen was speechless. ¡°Who¡¯s going to be a pitiful couple with you? I¡¯m calling you stupid! Then, Yu Chen pushed Ning Yan to the side of the Giant Flame Dragon¡¯s egg and said, ¡°Go, hold it.¡± Ning Yan did not understand, but she still did as she was told. Yu Chen explained, ¡°We can¡¯t beat the dragon, but we have the egg!¡± ¡°Throw it. Throw it hard. Throw it as high and far as you can.¡± Ning Yan¡¯s eyes lit up when she heard that. ¡°That¡¯s right! We can throw the egg out. In that case, the Giant Flame Dragon will immediately go to catch its baby and not attack us!¡± ¡°We¡¯ll be able to take advantage of the situation!¡± ¡°Great, it¡¯s really a great idea!¡± ¡°Yu Chen was speechless. ¡°Isn¡¯t this a very ordinary way to escape? You fool! Now even you think that you¡¯re a fool, right?¡± Ning Yan :¡±¡­¡± Chapter 22 - Something Strange Chapter 22 Something Strange After being attacked by Yu Chen, Ning Yan couldn¡¯t help but lower her head deeply and doubt herself. Am I really that stupid? However, Ning Yan quickly regained her composure and followed Yu Chen¡¯s instructions to throw the egg away. The moment the egg left her hand, Ning Yan felt someone grab her shoulder. Then, the scene around her kept receding. As expected¡­ the dragon didn¡¯t come after her anymore. Instead, it went to catch the egg. Hunyuan Sect, Blood Pool. The sect master and the law enforcement elders gathered here in order to observe the changes in their surroundings. Feng Changchun sensed the abnormality of the Blood Fiend Demon and immediately announced to the crowd, ¡°An abnormality has occurred in the blood pool. Saint Chen Yu¡¯s mission is canceled. From today onwards, he is the fourth Saint of our Hunyuan Sect.¡± ¡°Also, Elder Tian Chong, please find Chen Yu and his junior sister and bring them back to the sect.¡± Everyone could clearly see that three Thousand Mile Talisman had been used. Therefore, everyone knew that Chen Yu and his sister, Chen Yan, were not dead. They had just been teleported elsewhere. Although Tian Chong was old, his skin was like a baby¡¯s. His white hair was combed back, revealing a calm face. Dressed in a white robe, he exuded a calm aura. Hearing the sect master¡¯s order, he nodded slightly. ¡°Yes.¡± In the next second, Tian Chong¡¯s figure turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the horizon. Feng Changchun then ordered methodically, ¡°There¡¯s an abnormality in the blood pool. All Hunyuan Sect disciples are not allowed to approach the blood pool.¡± ¡°Core elders of the Demon Suppressing Hall and everyone ranked above, enter the blood pool to investigate.¡± ¡°The Sacred World Hall will quickly restart the array formation around the blood pool¡­¡± After escaping the pursuit of the fourth realm demon, Yu Chen and Ning Yan heaved a sigh of relief. But they were still facing an endless primeval forest. They didn¡¯t even know where they were currently at. So they had no idea which way to go. All they could do was run in one direction until night fell. Along the way, the two of them relied on Yu Chen¡¯s ¡®Psionic Perception¡¯ to avoid countless demons. Their situation could be said to be extremely difficult. At night, the two of them cooperated well. Ning Yan started a fire and Yu Chen caught a few wild animals. Under Yu Chen¡¯s surprised gaze, Ning Yan quickly skinned the wild animals and drained their blood. Then, she skillfully took out various condiments from her storage ring. Looking at the sizzling meat that was roasted until it was golden, Yu Chen couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect your culinary skills to be so good.¡± Ning Yan confidently said, ¡°Of course!¡± However, Yu Chen felt strange. That¡¯s right! In the novels that Yu Chen had read in his previous life, he was usually the one to show off his culinary skills and then capture the hearts of beautiful women with roasted meat. Why was it the other way around here? Cough cough¡­ In fact, it was not completely the other way around. After all, Yu Chen¡¯s heart had not been captured by Ning Yan. Before long, the roasted meat was cooked. The two of them started feasting. Their table manners were as horrendous as they could be, and they did not care about their image at all. After eating and drinking his fill, Yu Chen lay on the tree trunk and looked at the bright moon. It was good to transfer your consciousness to an avatar. Not only could you move freely, but you could also eat such delicious food. It was his main body in the prison who was still bitterly studying the Talent Tree. At that moment, a small black dot appeared on the center of the moon. The little black dot kept lowering itself and turned into a human shape in the blink of an eye. Before Yu Chen and Ning Yan could react, they saw a celestial being descending from the sky. When the two of them saw the person¡¯s attire, they couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, ¡°Celestial being!¡± It couldn¡¯t be helped. Elder Tian Chong was already an immortal. He had been misunderstood countless times. Tian Chong glanced at Yu Chen and Ning Yan and asked, ¡°Chen Yu, where¡¯s your junior sister?¡± Yu Chen revealed a sad expression. ¡°An accident happened in the blood pool. I shouldn¡¯t have brought her there! It¡¯s all my fault¡­¡± As he spoke, Yu Chen squeezed out a tear, leaving Ning Yan dumbfounded. Wasn¡¯t she¡­ Yu Chen¡¯s junior sister? Wait¡­ She had already removed her makeup, so she was now Ning Yan and not Chen Yan. Elder Tian Chong did not probe further when he heard this. Instead, he looked at the other person beside Yu Chen and the corners of his mouth curled up. With his strength, how could he not tell that Yu Chen was pretending? Besides, the aura of the woman beside Yu Chen was exactly the same as the woman he had seen last time. It was a little fishy, but Tian Chong didn¡¯t care. ¡°Chen Yu, you have now become the Saint of the Hunyuan Sect. Come back to the sect with me.¡± Tian Chong waved his hand and summoned a wooden airship floating in midair. ¡°Thank you, Elder.¡± ¡°Thank you, Elder.¡± After returning to the sect, Yu Chen and Ning Yan thanked Tian Chong. Tian Chong didn¡¯t respond. He just disappeared into thin air. Ning Yan sighed and said, ¡°Are all the law enforcement elders so cold?¡± Yu Chen analyzed, ¡°Perhaps only Elder Tian Chong is like this?¡± Tian Chong, the Law Enforcement Elder of the Hunyuan Sect¡¯s most prominent hall, was extremely powerful. Unfortunately, he was a little aloof. ¡°Oh, right. Congratulations on becoming a Saint.¡± Ning Yan came to Yu Chen¡¯s side with a smile. Yu Chen glanced at her and said, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going back to your quarters first?¡± Ning Yan was already a core disciple of the Hunyuan Sect to begin with and had her own quarters. So why was she still following Yu Chen? Ning Yan lowered her head shyly and stammered, ¡°Senior, can you let me stay at your place for a few days?¡± Yu Chen was a Saint and should be given a mountain to cultivate on. There had to be a place for her in a place that big. Yu Chen was puzzled. ¡°Why?¡± Ning Yan explained, ¡°Senior, have you forgotten? I¡¯m being targeted by Wang Yun.¡± Yu Chen said, ¡°This is the Hunyuan Sect. As long as you don¡¯t get framed by Wang Yun, he won¡¯t attack you directly.¡± ¡°Besides, I may be the Saint, but I have just become the Saint. I don¡¯t have my own place yet. I can only stay in the guest room tonight.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, a voice sounded. ¡°Lord Saint, I¡¯m here to help you to choose a place to stay. Yu Chen was speechless. Ning Yan looked at Yu Chen pleadingly. ¡®Well, if you don¡¯t mind, what inconvenience can I have?¡¯ Yu Chen had no choice but to agree. That person was an outer sect elder. Ordinary outer sect elders could not manage the Saint¡¯s matter, but today was an exception because of the abnormal change in the blood pool. Therefore, the sect master sent an outer sect elder to explain the rules to Yu Chen. The outer sect elder said, ¡°Lord Saint, the Saint of our Hunyuan Sect can freely choose a suitable place to cultivate. There are a total of 126 empty mountains now, among which there are five common spiritual veins.¡± ¡°Lord Saint can choose a suitable spiritual mountain suitable to your spiritual power to live in. You can also name the spiritual mountain.¡± ¡°In addition, these are the Saint¡¯s sect tokens, basic resources, and this year¡¯s resources.¡± The Saint could obtain a portion of the sect¡¯s resources every day. The outer sect elder took out an ancient and exquisite ring and handed it to Yu Chen. Ning Yan stared at the ring and couldn¡¯t help but feel a little envious. When could she become a saint? Chapter 23 - Treatment of the Saint Chapter 23 Treatment of the Saint Yu Chen took the ring and put it on his finger. He sensed what was inside. A bright red token engraved with the word ¡®Saint¡¯, many pills for cultivation, a set of the Saint¡¯s robes, a voice transmission stone, a set of supreme-grade spirit gathering array flags, and 1,000 high-grade spirit stones. After accepting the ring, Yu Chen began to ask for information about the empty mountain peak from the outer sect elder. The outer sect elder took out a blank map and said to Yu Chen, ¡°Lord Saint, extend your divine sense into it and you will be able to see the entire map.¡± Yu Chen did as the elder said and indeed found his divine sense appearing in the sky somewhere. This was equivalent to looking down on the Hunyuan Sect from a god¡¯s perspective. The Hunyuan Sect was located in the Xuanming Mountain Range, and the entire Xuanming Mountain Range was almost covered by the buildings of the Hunyuan Sect. Among them were many floating giant islands that looked rather mysterious. However, there were flat grasslands on these islands. Some of the floating islands even had palaces. Yu Chen asked, ¡°Can we choose the floating island?¡± The outer sect elder was stunned. ¡°The floating island was created by a mighty figure of our Hunyuan Sect. The spirit vein was also man-made. The effectiveness is 10% lower than a real spirit vein.¡± ¡°Therefore, it¡¯s usually the residence of true elders and core elders.¡± ¡°If the Saint is willing to humble himself¡­ of course.¡± Its effectiveness was only ten percent lower, so Yu Chen did not mind it at all. As a transmigrator with a passion for infrastructure , Yu Chen simply couldn¡¯t resist a flat and floating island. Thousands of floating islands floated around the Xuanming Mountain Range. Most of these floating islands already had buildings on them, showing that they were inhabited. But there were still many islands that had not been claimed. Yu Chen chose a medium-sized but especially round floating island. ¡°I¡¯ll choose this one!¡± After choosing, Yu Chen returned the map to the elder. The elder took the map and glanced at it before telling Yu Chen the details. Then, the elder said, ¡°Lord Saint, I was originally an outer sect elder of the Immortal Raising Hall. My cultivation is only at the fifth level of the second realm and I can¡¯t fly. Therefore, I can¡¯t lead the way for you. Please forgive me, Lord Saint.¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing to forgive. I still have to thank Elder for briefing me.¡± Yu Chen waved his hand nonchalantly. Seeing that Yu Chen was so easy to talk to, the outer sect elder hurriedly said, ¡°This is what an elder should do. Lord Saint, you can go to the floating island now. As long as you inject a trace of spiritual power into this Spirit Storing Stone, I will help you handle the rest of the procedures.¡± With that, the outer sect elder took out another stone that stored spiritual energy. Yu Chen injected spiritual power into it and said, ¡°Alright, sorry to trouble you, Elder.¡± The elder said, ¡°It¡¯s no trouble, no trouble at all. You¡¯re welcome.¡± Then he turned and left. Yu Chen used the Primordial Chaos Art to convert all his cultivation into spiritual energy before holding Ning Yan¡¯s soft hand and taking off. Not long after, Yu Chen arrived at his floating island. Although it was already late at night, the view under the moonlight was not dark. Instead, it looked like a wonderland. Yu Chen landed on the floating island and looked at the flat grassland around him. He could not help but feel envious. Well, he¡¯d already planned it. After dealing with Wang Yun, Yu Chen would retire here. He would build a wooden house, then plant some vegetables that he liked to eat around him, raise a few pets, and live a leisurely life. ¡°What¡¯s the difference between this place¡­ and the wilderness¡­¡± Ning Yan was a little disappointed. She never expected Yu Chen to choose a floating island. In her opinion, the mountain peaks with buildings under them were better. In that case, the two of them wouldn¡¯t have to sleep in the open. Yu Chen ignored Ning Yan. After observing his island, he nodded in satisfaction. At this moment, Yu Chen discovered that there were eighteen array cores at the edge of the island. Yu Chen knew that as long as he inserted the array flags of the supreme-grade Spirit Gathering Array into the array core, he would be able to cover the entire island with the Spirit Gathering Array. Yu Chen immediately took out the Spirit Gathering Array Flags and started working. Ning Yan was not idle either. She took out materials from her storage ring and made two small and exquisite tents. When Ning Yan was done, she saw that her surroundings were enveloped by a hazy white barrier. This was the range of the Spirit Gathering Array. In an instant, Ning Yan felt the spiritual energy level around her soaring. It probably wouldn¡¯t be long before this place became a holy land for cultivation. Glancing at Yu Chen, Ning Yan swore in her heart that she would cultivate well and become a Saintess in the future. Then, she would have her own supreme-grade Spirit Gathering Formation. It couldn¡¯t be helped. The treatment of the Saints and Saintesses was so good that it made people envious. ¡°Did you build this all by yourself?¡± When Yu Chen saw the two exquisite tents, he could not help but look at Ning Yan in a different light. She¡¯s not a king. She¡¯s a jack of all trades. Not only did she know how to roast meat, but she also knew how to set up a tent. Her looks and figure were impeccable. Other than the fact that her brain wasn¡¯t quite right, she was perfect. Ning Yan cupped her fists and said proudly, ¡°Of course, I¡¯ve learned it before.¡± Yu Chen smiled and patted Ning Yan¡¯s head before entering the tent to rest. Since his avatar could not cultivate, he could only rest. Ning Yan looked at Yu Chen¡¯s back and couldn¡¯t help but feel a little angry. ¡®Hmph, how could you treat me like a child. You even touched my head¡­¡¯ The next day, Yu Chen understood. How could the Saint personally do his own construction? Early in the morning, Yu Chen was woken up. When he left the tent, he saw an airship parked outside. A group of muscular men stood on it. When the leader saw Yu Chen come out, he handed a large pile of blueprints to him and said, ¡°Lord Saint, please choose a design you like. We will build it as soon as possible.¡± Yu Chen exclaimed, ¡°Is the service this good?¡± Yu Chen took the blueprint and began to browse. Ning Yan also tiptoed from behind and said from time to time, ¡°Senior, this is fine. This is beautiful!¡± ¡°Eh? Senior doesn¡¯t like it? This one will do. This one is quite romantic.¡± ¡°Huh? Senior doesn¡¯t like it either?¡± Yu Chen turned around and knocked Ning Yan on the head before continuing to choose. Ning Yan squatted in the distance, her fair fingers drawing circles on the ground. She exuded a depressed aura. Finally, Yu Chen chose a building. The reason was simply because it had fences. In terms of function, it was also very complete. The key was that there was a fence that could allow Yu Chen to plan the rest of the floating island in the future without wasting any space. After Yu Chen chose, the other party started their work on the spot. The materials used for construction were all very hard wood. They were stored in batches in storage rings. It was very convenient. At this moment, Ning Yan ran to Yu Chen¡¯s side and said, ¡°Senior, I want to go home.¡± Yu Chen replied, ¡°Then go.¡± Ning Yan scratched her head awkwardly. ¡°Senior, can you send me back? I¡¯m afraid Wang Yun will try to assassinate me again.¡± Chapter 24 - Will You Really Not Be Kidnapped? Chapter 24 Will You Really Not Be Kidnapped? ¡°Afraid of being assassinated?¡± Yu Chen looked at her exquisite face and suddenly thought of the voice transmission stone in his storage ring. If there was a voice transmission stone in this world, would Ning Yan, as the ruler of a country, not have one? Yu Chen asked tentatively, ¡°Ning Yan, do you think¡­ there¡¯s a possibility that your family could pick you up?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Ning Yan was shocked. Then, she thought about it seriously, and her expression became more and more surprised. Ning Yan was overjoyed. ¡°Oh right! A voice transmission stone! I have a voice transmission stone sent by my family!¡± Yu Chen was speechless. This child was so stupid, would she really not be kidnapped? There was still some time before the Immortal selection. The avatar in the outside world had settled down, but the main body in the prison was becoming more and more restless. Initially, Yu Chen could still study the Talent Tree in peace, but now that he was nagged by the Blood Demon every day, he was about to go crazy. The Blood Demon would not stop at all. He kept tempting Yu Chen. These days, the Blood Demon used both threats and bribes. Unfortunately, Yu Chen remained unmoved. Although he resisted the temptation, Yu Chen did not have it easy. Now, Yu Chen¡¯s scalp was numb and his body was hot. The Blood Demon¡¯s voice kept ringing in his mind. Finally, Yu Chen could not help but snap. He lashed out at the Blood Demon, but it was useless. Yu Chen sat on the chair in the cage, trembling slightly. Suddenly, Yu Chen realized that he was being a little stubborn. ¡®Blood Demon, I agree.¡¯ Yu Chen told the Blood Demon in his mind. The Blood Demon said, ¡®Very well. In that case, leave your cage and head to the boundary of the fourth level. Transfer your spirit energy to one of the array cores.¡¯ In order to prevent Yu Chen from pretending to agree just to have some peace, the Blood Demon directly ordered Yu Chen. Yu Chen¡¯s plan failed. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. ¡®No!¡¯ The Blood Demon asked, ¡®Why?¡¯ Yu Chen said, ¡®I¡¯ve been nagged by you for so long. I have to rest before I can work.¡¯ ¡®Besides, what can you offer me if I get you out?¡¯ The Blood Demon said, ¡®I¡¯ve said this many times. I won¡¯t go back on my promise. As long as you save me, I can give you everything you want.¡¯ ¡®After all, I¡¯m a great cultivator standing at the top of the world!¡¯ Yu Chen said, ¡®A guy trapped in prison shouldn¡¯t say such things.¡¯ These days, the Blood Demon made Yu Chen very unhappy. Therefore, Yu Chen could not stand the Blood Demon acting cool in front of him. Wasn¡¯t his cultivation realm just a little higher? Sooner or later, Yu Chen would surpass the Blood Demon. Blood Demon coughed. ¡®Ahem, I was framed by them. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t¡­¡¯ Just as Yu Chen and the Blood Demon were chatting, they realized that many prison guards had appeared outside the cage. The prison guards stood in two rows. The leader pointed at Yu Chen and said, ¡°You, come out.¡± Yu Chen was dumbfounded. What was going on? He had been very well-behaved these days. With Yu Chen¡¯s current consciousness, it was impossible for him to control his avatar and main body at the same time. When the avatar moved outside, the main body could only perform some simple actions, such as studying the Talent Tree. So why were these prison guards calling him again? ¡­ In the interrogation room. ¡°Name: Yu Chen Gender: Male Age: Sixteen Identity¡­¡± ¡°You killed a prison guard. One thousand years will be added to your sentence. Do you have any objections?¡± Yu Chen said, ¡°Damn it, I didn¡¯t steal the mental cultivation technique!¡± It turned out that they had not actually stopped investigating the death of the prison guard that Yu Chen had killed earlier. Now, Yu Chen had been turned in by many of the prisoners. After another thousand years of punishment was added to his sentence, Yu Chen was extremely unhappy. On the way back to the cell, Yu Chen also felt that something was wrong. This is not the way he came from! After being escorted by the prison guards for a long time, Yu Chen arrived at a huge iron door. The inside of the steel door was dark. Nothing was visible. Unlike other places, this was not an iron cage, but a larger and wider room. As he approached the iron door, Yu Chen felt the temperature around him drop rapidly. Just like that, Yu Chen was locked inside the iron door. After the prison guard left, Yu Chen stood inside the iron door and stretched out his hands. He gripped the iron cage tightly and began to exert some force. Creak¡­ ¡°HA!¡± Veins popped out all over Yu Chen¡¯s body, and his face was red from exerting so much force. However, the iron bar only made a cracking sound and bent a little. When Yu Chen let go, the iron bar quickly returned to its original state. It seemed that getting out of here was going to be difficult. Yu Chen turned around and looked at the abyss-like space. He could not help but feel a chill. Activating his ¡®Psionic Perception¡¯, Yu Chen began to sense the dark area. With his ¡®Psionic Perception¡¯, Yu Chen could clearly ¡°see¡± everything around him. After sensing it, Yu Chen¡¯s pupils constricted violently. There were hundreds of prisoners in this space that was dozens of times larger than a normal cage. Their cultivation levels were also varied. The lowest was only at the tenth level of the first realm. Even Yu Chen could not see through the highest cultivation there. Although Yu Chen was only at the tenth level of the second realm, his strength was infinitely close to the fourth realm. In other words, Yu Chen could distinguish cultivation levels below the fourth realm. A cultivator that even Yu Chen could not see through must be beyond the fourth realm. But¡­ They were all in terrible condition. They were covered in bruises and spoke very tactfully. The flesh on their bodies seemed to have been torn by some terrifying monster. There wasn¡¯t a part of their body that was intact. The prisoners groaned weakly. Suddenly, Yu Chen sensed that many green-faced monsters had appeared around him. ¡°What on earth?¡± Yu Chen immediately assumed a defensive posture and became vigilant. Unfortunately, his perception talent suddenly failed, as if something was suppressing it. Low beast roars came from all directions, and Yu Chen¡¯s eyelids twitched. A faint breeze blew past from behind. Without even thinking, Yu Chen, who had no perception, threw a punch. Bang! ¡°Awoo¡­¡± A miserable cry came. Even Yu Chen himself did not know what he had smashed away. Where exactly was this place? Yu Chen guessed, ¡®I can¡¯t see or sense it. The prisoners can only let the monster in the darkness tear them apart¡­¡¯ Didn¡¯t they say that prisoners wouldn¡¯t die from punishment in the Heavenly Prison? No, no, no¡­ The prisoners in this darkness were not dead, only near death. They had to endure extreme physical torture at all times, but they weren¡¯t dead. And because of the effects of the life-saving pill, their wounds were healing very quickly. Perhaps when the prisoners¡¯ wounds healed, the monsters would return and tear them apart until they were seriously injured and on the verge of death. Here, cultivators had no eyes and no perception. After all, this darkness could even devour the light emitted by spiritual power and the Talent Tree. Yu Chen swallowed and looked around warily. The Blood Demon¡¯s voice was heard by Yu Chen. ¡°Watch your left.¡± Yu Chen threw a punch without hesitation. Bang! Yu Chen felt a physical touch and dodged the bite again. Chapter 25 - He Had No Choice. Chapter 25 He Had No Choice. ¡°Left, left again!¡± ¡°Behind you, behind you, to the right!¡± ¡°Up top!¡± In the Heavenly Prison, the Blood Demon kept warning Yu Chen. After a long battle, Yu Chen was exhausted. However, the monsters seemed to be inexhaustible as they surged crazily towards Yu Chen. The Blood Demon¡¯s warning also quickened in pace. Finally¡­ Rip! Three bloody wounds appeared on Yu Chen¡¯s back. Blood Demon said, ¡°Sigh! You failed. You didn¡¯t even last five minutes.¡± Yu Chen gritted his teeth and endured the pain. He thought to himself, ¡®Five minutes?¡¯ It clearly felt like a few hours had passed, but he was told that he had only lasted five minutes? After being hit, the following attacks rushed towards Yu Chen like a dam breaking. In less than five seconds, Yu Chen was already lying on the ground. His eyes were bloodshot, but there was nothing he could do. Blood Demon: ¡®Kid, how do you feel? To be honest, I¡¯ve experienced this before. It¡¯s not good, right? Hahaha ~¡¯ Yu Chen did not reply. He could not do anything now. He could only wait for the wound to heal while he endured the pain. However, once the wound healed, it meant that those monsters would attack again. Why¡­? Why did he have to go through all this? He had been just an ordinary person. Yu Chen could guarantee that he had never violated the heavenly rules. Not to mention breaking the law, even as a corporate slave, he had never even broken the company¡¯s rules. He was suddenly brought to a fantasy world. He also had to face many punishments. Besides, the original host had been wronged. He had not stolen the true legacy core technique at all. Something was wrong¡­ At this point, Yu Chen finally understood some things. The reason why the original host was sent to the Heavenly Prison was not because he had stolen the true legacy core technique, or because he was framed by Wang Yun. The most fundamental reason was that the original host was weak. If the original host was very powerful, how could Wang Yun have sent him to Heavenly Prison? Multiple intense pains attacked his body at the same time, causing Yu Chen¡¯s endurance to reach its limit. But if he didn¡¯t work hard, he would have to spend¡­ more than a thousand years in this situation! Finally, Yu Chen gave up. He no longer expected for people to find out that he had been wronged. He no longer thought about why he had to go through all this, nor did he care if he was wronged. Since things had come to this, the only person who could save him was himself. In that case¡­ In that case, why would Yu Chen choose to ignore the Blood Demon? The Blood Demon was also one of his options. Since no one gave Yu Chen any other options, he had no choice but to choose the Blood Demon. Yu Chen called out to the Blood Demon in his heart, ¡®I¡¯ve decided. I¡¯m going to help you destroy the array formation and let you out.¡¯ ¡®Along the way, get me out of here.¡¯ As Yu Chen said this, on the eighteenth floor of the Sky Prison. The Blood Demon¡¯s maniacal laughter filled the space. When Xing Wanhong heard this laughter, even with his cultivation, he felt his scalp tingle. The Blood Demon sent a voice transmission to Yu Chen. ¡®Very good. Since you agree, let¡¯s discuss how to act.¡¯ The Blood Demon said, ¡®If you want to do what I ask, you need to be strong enough.¡¯ ¡®With your ability, you can¡¯t cultivate at all now. You can¡¯t increase your strength, nor can you break the iron cage. You can¡¯t even walk or stand upright.¡¯ ¡®I have the mental cultivation technique here. You can take a look. It can allow you to cultivate here.¡¯ Something suddenly appeared in Yu Chen¡¯s mind. Blood Demon: ¡®Hahaha, this is the mental cultivation technique that I cultivate. You have to cultivate well. When the time comes, you¡¯ll be considered half a disciple of mine.¡¯ Yu Chen said, ¡®I¡¯ve cultivated the Primordial Chaos Art. I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t cultivate this Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique.¡¯ Blood Demon: ¡®What are you panicking for? My Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique can exist in the body of a cultivator with other cultivation methods.¡¯ Yu Chen said, ¡®What?!¡¯ Cultivating two mental cultivation techniques together was a huge taboo in the cultivation world. It had to be known that ordinary cultivators would only choose one cultivation method. This way, they could completely integrate their energy into a cultivation method. If he chose two mental cultivation techniques, it might lead to a conflict between mental cultivation techniques. If he was not careful, he might qi deviate and even explode on the spot. Blood Demon: ¡®Hahaha, otherwise, how can it be called a demonic technique? This Blood God mental cultivation technique can perfectly coexist with other cultivation methods in a cultivator¡¯s body.¡¯ ¡®You¡¯ll know its function if you try to find it in your memory.¡¯ ¡®I¡¯ll give you half a year to learn this mental cultivation technique. Otherwise, I¡¯ll kill you, trash, in case you don¡¯t help me after getting the mental cultivation technique and even leak it.¡¯ The Blood Demon¡¯s voice in Yu Chen¡¯s mind stopped, and he began to go through the memories the Blood Demon had left in his mind. The Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique was an immortal existence that could be cultivated to the extreme. As long as there was still a trace of blood, you could be reborn with blood. It was extremely terrifying Because cultivating the Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique required too much strangeness, it was classified as a demonic technique. The Blood Demon had cultivated the Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique, which was why he was rejected by the top mighty figures on the continent. They worked together to seal the Blood Demon in the Heavenly Prison. Once Yu Chen started cultivating, it meant that if Yu Chen¡¯s Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique was exposed, he would be shunned by the world. The first step of the Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique, Blood Breaking! To put it simply, he would be covered in injuries. Then, he would cooperate with the Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique to quickly recover from his injuries. When his recovery speed reached a certain level, he would be considered a beginner. And Yu Chen¡¯s current situation was the most suitable for cultivating the Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique. Of course, before that, Yu Chen had to ask the Blood Demon something. ¡°Do you have a way to show me my Talent Tree, Blood Demon?¡± The Blood Demon did not reply and only sent another spell into Yu Chen¡¯s mind. Mental cultivation techniques and spell techniques were different. Mental cultivation techniques were the foundation of cultivation. Under normal circumstances, one could only have one. However, spells were different. Spells could play various roles and have many uses. Yu Chen recalled and realized that this was actually an internal spell technique. The cultivation of the spell technique was much simpler. Yu Chen only memorized the circulation method of spiritual energy and learned it. Since he could not see the Talent Tree with the naked eye, Yu Chen used his inner sight to look at the Talent Tree. [ Absolute Genius ¨C Divine-grade: Cultivation speed increased by 10,000 times. Fire Immunity ¨C High-grade: Immune to 99.9% fire. Strength God ¨C Divine-grade: Strength increased by 1,000 times. Psionic Perception ¨C Low-grade: Sense everything within the range of spiritual power. External Avatar ¨C Divine-grade: Can produce a clone with 100% of the original¡¯s strength. Remaining Talent Points: 1] Over the past few days, Yu Chen had also finished researching over half of the Talent Tree. There was a talent that Yu Chen was interested in. (Calm and Composed ¨C Low-grade: It can calm you down and not be disturbed.) After using it, Yu Chen immediately felt that his mind was much clearer. The pain from the wound seemed to have weakened a little, and the impact on Yu Chen had also decreased a lot. This way, Yu Chen could focus and cultivate. Chapter 26 - Immortal Selection Chapter 26 Immortal Selection With the support of a divine-grade talent, there was no need for the six months that the Blood Demon had mentioned. A week later, Yu Chen had mastered the Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique. It was mainly because these beasts were too ferocious. As soon as they saw Yu Chen recover from his injuries, they would pounce on him like crazy. Moreover, there were not just one or two of them, but more than a dozen in groups. At first, Yu Chen would resist. After all, they were here to attack Yu Chen, and Yu Chen did not want them to succeed easily. But in the end, Yu Chen gave up. They were too powerful. According to Yu Chen¡¯s estimation, there must be fifth realm or even sixth realm monsters in the group. Otherwise, there wouldn¡¯t be a fifth realm cultivator lying in this dark room. Even those high-level cultivators could not resist, let alone Yu Chen. Coupled with the uniqueness of the Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique, Yu Chen¡¯s wounds healed faster and faster. When Yu Chen finished cultivating the Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique, he would be attacked almost every half an hour. The physical pain almost made Yu Chen lose his mind, but his current strength was not enough to resist these monsters. Two weeks later, his Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique reached the ninth level of the first realm. Three weeks later, his Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique reached the third level of the second realm. Soon, the day of the Hunyuan Sect¡¯s Immortal selection came. During these weeks, no one knew what Yu Chen had experienced in the Heavenly Prison. Although he had the support of ¡®Calm and Composed¡¯, Yu Chen was still groggy and his eyes were a little numb. His main body only stubbornly assumed a cultivation posture. No matter how the monster attacked, Yu Chen would not stop cultivating. When his Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique reached the same level as his Primordial Chaos Art, Yu Chen¡¯s strength would increase greatly. Then it would be time to start fighting back the monster. Outside the Heavenly Prison. On a certain floating island in the Xuanming Mountain Range and the Hunyuan Sect. ¡°Don¡¯t you think this Saint is a little strange?¡± ¡°It¡¯s been almost a month. He¡¯s sitting at home all day, not cultivating or going out.¡± ¡°He couldn¡¯t be a monster, could he?¡± ¡°Shhh¡­ not so loud. You¡¯ll lose your head if you¡¯re heard.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. He doesn¡¯t seem like a normal person at all.¡± A group of white-robed true disciples of the Hunyuan Sect discussed along the way. They took an airship and headed toward Yu Chen¡¯s floating island. Finally, they hovered at the edge of the floating island. ¡°Saint Chen, the Sect Master asked us to bring you to the main hall for a meeting!¡± On the floating island, Yu Chen slowly opened his eyes. Compared to more than half a month ago, Yu Chen¡¯s expression was much more lifeless. Everything that his main body experienced in the Heavenly Prison also affected his avatar. At this moment, Yu Chen was sitting in the cultivation room of the palace. The palace was built by that group of cultivators. They worked very fast and completed it in just two days. Not long after the construction was completed, Ning Yan was picked up by her family. Yu Chen slowly stood up and used ¡®Calm and Composed¡¯ on his avatar. Finally recovering some energy, Yu Chen rubbed his numb face. ¡®Yu Chen, wake up. It¡¯s time for revenge.¡¯ ¡®All of this was caused by that little bastard Wang Yun.¡¯ ¡®You can¡¯t let him become the Immortal. If you kill the Immortal, you will be an enemy of the Hunyuan Sect.¡¯ ¡®Besides, you can¡¯t stand to see your enemy in such glory.¡¯ After giving himself a pep talk, Yu Chen walked out. Hunyuan Hall, the main hall of the Hunyuan Sect. The Hunyuan Hall Master was also called the Hunyuan Sect Sect Master, and the Deputy Hall Master was also called the Deputy Sect Master. At this moment, sixteen hall masters, thirty-two deputy hall masters, and the law enforcement elders of the various halls were gathered in the Hunyuan Hall. There were more than a hundred people present, and they were basically high-level cultivators of the Hunyuan Sect. At this moment, the four Saints and two Saintesses had gathered. They stood in the middle of the hall and waited for the Sect Master to speak. Wang Yun stood beside a blue-robed woman with a veil on her face. From time to time, he would turn around and whisper something to her with a fawning expression. Unfortunately, the woman could not be bothered with him. Yu Chen saw all of this and thought to himself, ¡®The original host was actually sent to the Heavenly Prison by a bootlicker. He¡¯s such a good-for-nothing.¡¯ Unfortunately, it was Yu Chen who was now being tortured in the Heavenly Prison. And the original host had run off somewhere. Perhaps he had died, or perhaps he had transmigrated to the world of Yu Chen and continued to be a corporate slave. Erm¡­ Thinking about it this way, the prison was much more comfortable than being a corporate slave. When Yu Chen thought about these matters, he had a strange feeling in his heart. Why would he rather be tortured in the fantasy world than return to his original world to be a corporate slave? After a while, Sect Master Feng Changchun began to speak. ¡°Everyone, you are all the future of our Hunyuan Sect, but the future of the Hunyuan Sect needs a leader.¡± ¡°This Immortal selection will be divided into many steps to test your various abilities.¡± ¡°If you encounter a test you¡¯re not good at, just get as many points as possible. Remember not to risk your foundation.¡± ¡°After you have experienced all the tests, the points obtained from each test will be added up. The person with the highest score will be the Immortal.¡± ¡°0 ¡°To ensure fairness, this test will be carried out under the witness of many hall masters of the Hunyuan Sect.¡± The first test of the Immortal selection: the Heavenly Staircase! Heavenly Staircase: A kind of staircase with no end. Each time one climbs a Heavenly Staircase, they will feel heavier pressure. This test mainly tested the determination of the Saints and Saintesses to cultivate. In other words, perseverance. Of course, different cultivators had different constitutions. To Saints and Saintesses with weaker physiques, this test was unfair. Therefore, according to the physiques of each Saint and Saintess, the Heavenly Staircase would specially give them corresponding scoring rules. ¡°Hmm?¡± Just as he was about to enter the Heavenly Staircase, Yu Chen realized that the Saints and Saintesses beside him had begun to use the Primordial Chaos Art. They all transformed their physical cultivation into spiritual power cultivation. This would make their physiques seem weaker. Then, during the real test, they would transform all their spiritual power cultivation into physical cultivation. In this way, they could minimize the pressure they would encounter on the steps and get more points. It seemed that other than Yu Chen, the others had a certain understanding of the selection of the Immortal. Yu Chen also used the Primordial Chaos Art to transform his physical cultivation into spiritual power cultivation. Just like that, the few of them entered the Heavenly Staircase one after another. [Saint: Zhao Wuji Cultivation: Third Realm Level Eight Scoring rule: One point for every seventh step.) (Saint: Sun Sheng Cultivation: Third Realm Level Eight Scoring rule: One point for every seventh step.) From the rules, Yu Chen could tell that the two Saints whom he did not recognize had similar physique. Outside, the numerous hall masters frowned. ¡°One point for every seventh step. How can he be so weak?¡± ¡°Although it¡¯s because of the Primordial Chaos Art, this is too weak. Could it be that the Saints of this generation¡­¡± ¡°No, there¡¯s still Wang Yun. Wang Yun¡¯s cultivation is the strongest among the Saint. His scoring rules might be able to surprise the outside world.¡± For the Saints and Saintesses, the rule was that the lower the steps, the better. To the experts of the Hunyuan Sect, the higher the better. After all, the higher the steps, the higher the strength and quality of the Saints and Saintesses. Chapter 27 - Wang Yun Cant Hold It In Anymore Chapter 27 Wang Yun Can¡¯t Hold It In Anymore. (Saint: Wang Yun Cultivation: Third Realm Level Ten Scoring rule: One point for every tenth step.] ¡°As expected, although Wang Yun is only two levels higher than Zhao Wuji and Sun Sheng, his score is three steps higher.¡± ¡°Ordinary third realm cultivators are considered outstanding if they can obtain one point every fourth step. Although Zhao Wuji and Sun Sheng are weaker than Wang Yun, they are still much stronger than ordinary third realm cultivators.¡± ¡°After all, they¡¯re the Saint. If it¡¯s too low, it won¡¯t be easy to explain.¡± ¡°As expected of the guy with the greatest potential of becoming the Immortal. Such talent is really the Hunyuan Sect¡¯s great fortune.¡± ¡°Lucky? When Chen Yu returned, this elder was probably not at the scene, right?¡± ¡°Oh? What makes you say that?¡± ¡°In short, Chen Yu might surprise everyone.¡± (Saintess: Huo Miao¡¯er Cultivation: Third Realm Level Nine Scoring rule: One point for every eighth step.] ¡°Miao¡¯er is not bad either. She has a portion of combat talent. Her physique is even better than the two Saints.¡± ¡°Yes, as expected of my granddaughter. Hahaha!!¡± ¡°Can you stop being so smug, Old Huo?¡± ¡°Proud? I¡¯m going to be proud this time. After all, your daughter isn¡¯t even a Saintess.¡± ¡°Are you picking a fight with me?¡± ¡°Tsk tsk, you really can¡¯t take a joke!¡± (Saintess: Xi Ling Cultivation: Fourth Realm Level Five Scoring rule: One point for every tenth step.] ¡°Every time I see this woman¡¯s talent, I feel surreal.¡± ¡°What a pity. She clearly awakened a high-grade genius talent, but she has a supporting innate skill.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just that there aren¡¯t many cultivators who could match her offensive style¡­¡± (Saint: Chen Yu Cultivation: Second Realm Level Two Scoring rule: One point for every twelfth step.] As soon as the scoring rule was out, many elders cursed in shock. ¡°Holy sh*t?¡± ¡°What¡­ What the hell is going on?¡± ¡°Could it be that he has top-grade combat-type talent?¡± ¡°No¡­ can a top-grade combat-type talent be that crazy?¡± ¡°It¡¯s already not bad for ordinary second realm cultivators to get one point per step.¡± ¡°What was going on?¡± ¡°This is strange. No wonder Old Wang told me that this kid might surprise us.¡± ¡°This is a f*cking shock, okay? Is this status normal?¡± Seeing the elders and hall masters cursing, the sect master could not stand it anymore. Feng Changchun said, ¡°Silence! You¡¯re also the core of our Hunyuan Sect. How can you lose your composure like this?¡± In fact, if not for the Grand Elder of the Primordial Chaos Sect, Feng Yuan, telling Feng Changchun about Yu Chen in advance, Feng Changchun might have acted the same as many other elders. In the Heavenly Staircase, Huo Miao¡¯er¡¯s beautiful eyes flickered with a strange light as she looked at Yu Chen. She was very curious. How could a second realm cultivator make the Heavenly Staircase give such an unreasonable scoring rule? Unfortunately, no matter how hard she looked, she couldn¡¯t see anything. Both his appearance and cultivation were very ordinary. Other than a faint oppressing aura, there was nothing special. After entering the Heavenly Staircase, Yu Chen realized that his surroundings were wrapped in a white fog. Out of curiosity, Huo Miao¡¯er explained to Yu Chen, ¡°Saint Chen, you might not know this, but there¡¯s a trace of the will of the Heavenly Dao at the beginning of the Heavenly Staircase. No cultivator can detect it.¡± ¡°Only when you and I walk up the Heavenly Staircase will the various hall masters and elders see us.¡± Yu Chen turned to look at the Saintess who had taken the initiative to talk to him and said, ¡°Is that so?¡± ¡°Uh¡­¡± Seeing Yu Chen¡¯s lifeless expression, Huo Miao¡¯er leaned towards Xi Ling¡¯s back in fear. ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. Can you not be so scary¡­¡± Yu Chen did not respond to her words. Instead, he looked straight at Wang Yun. On the spot, Yu Chen said, ¡°We didn¡¯t finish last time. Let¡¯s continue this time.¡± Wang Yun¡¯s eyebrows twitched wildly. He finally could not hold it in anymore. Wang Yun glared at Yu Chen in disbelief. ¡°What did you say? Are you crazy?¡± At this moment, everyone was taking the test. Wasn¡¯t Yu Chen afraid that his results would be bad if he fought with him at this critical moment? Didn¡¯t he want to be the Immortal? Yu Chen and Wang Yun¡¯s conversation caused the other Saints and Saintesses to stay away from the two of them. Wang Yun was shocked, while Yu Chen was expressionless. Wang Yun¡¯s eyebrows twitched. He said nicely, ¡°Fellow Daoist, what happened earlier was my fault. Can you give me another chance?¡± ¡°When the test is over, I will definitely apologize to you.¡± Yu Chen sneered. ¡°Why do you have to be so flashy? If you really mean it, wouldn¡¯t it be better to kowtow to me on the spot?¡± ¡°You!¡± Wang Yun was furious, but he really did not want to fight Yu Chen. After all, Yu Chen was not an ordinary second realm cultivator. He had experienced this before in the blood pool. If he fought with Yu Chen here, it would only be a waste of energy and would only affect the results of the subsequent tests. Therefore, Wang Yun patiently endured. He gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Don¡¯t you want to get a good result and become the Immortal?¡± Yu Chen shook his head slowly. ¡°I don¡¯t care. What I care about is that you can¡¯t become the Immortal.¡± ¡°Lunatic! Lunatic!!!¡± Wang Yun could not hold it in anymore. He turned around and ran up the Heavenly Staircase. As long as he stepped onto the Heavenly Staircase, he would be seen by many hall masters and elders. At that time, Yu Chen would not dare to make a move. Right! Hall Master and Elders! Wang Yun shouted as he ran, ¡°Chen Yu! If you attack here, you will definitely be discovered. At that time, you will be punished!¡± ¡°Just wait until you are sent to the Heavenly Prison!¡± Into the Heavenly Prison? ¡°Primordial Chaos Art!¡± Yu Chen¡¯s expression darkened. He used the Primordial Chaos Art to transform his spiritual power cultivation into physical cultivation. Then, he exerted some strength with his feet and took a step forward. Boom ~ A boom sounded. Almost in the next second, Yu Chen appeared in front of Wang Yun. After forcing Wang Yun to stop, Yu Chen stretched his arms and said, ¡°Come on, aren¡¯t you very strong? Why don¡¯t you dare to accept the challenge of a second realm cultivator?¡± ¡°The likes of you can still be the Saint of the Hunyuan Sect?¡± Yu Chen¡¯s goal was to let Wang Yun attack first. At that time, Yu Chen could openly say, ¡°He was the one who attacked first. All the Saints and Saintesses saw it.¡± The atmosphere between the two of them became more and more explosive. The other Saints and Saintesses were dumbfounded. Zhao Wuji patted his cheek. ¡°Am I seeing things? A second realm cultivator is chasing after Saint Wang Yun?¡± Sun Sheng swallowed his saliva. ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s just that Wang Yun doesn¡¯t want to waste his energy?¡± Zhao Wuji reacted. ¡°Hehehe- In that case, Wang Yun and Chen Yu¡¯s results will be much lower¡­¡± At the same time, he thought to himself, if Wang Yun and Chen Yu are no longer a threat, then my chances of becoming the Immortal will be much higher. With Wang Yun around, they did not even consider the possibility of becoming the Immortal. But it was different now. Wang Yun and Chen Yu were gone. Xi Ling also only had a support-type Talent Tree. Let¡¯s not mention if her results were not good. Even if her results were good, the hall masters would probably not support her to become the Immortal. That left Sun Sheng and Huo Miao¡¯er. Huo Miao¡¯er was timid and had no ambition. Although Sun Sheng was like him, this guy was not smart. Therefore, when Yu Chen and Wang Yun fought, the ultimate beneficiary was actually him, Zhao Wuji! Chapter 28 - Youre So Strong. How Did You Train? Chapter 28 You¡¯re So Strong. How Did You Train? ¡°I don¡¯t want to be nosy, but I have to warn you.¡± Xi Ling looked at the situation between Wang Yun and Yu Chen, and said evenly, ¡°If any Saint or Saintess participates in the assessment in less than perfect condition, the results of this assessment will probably be invalid.¡± ¡°In other words, Saint Chen Yu, even if you severely injure Wang Yun, he won¡¯t fail the selection of the Immortal.¡± ¡°Also, Wang Yun, I don¡¯t want to interfere in your matters, but if it affects my assessment¡­¡± At this point, Xi Ling slowly frowned and stared at Wang Yun indifferently. Wang Yun immediately cowered. He nodded and said to Xi Ling, ¡°Of course, of course. I definitely won¡¯t delay your assessment.¡± ¡°But if someone is ignorant, then I won¡¯t go easy either.¡± Although he expressed his agreement with Xi Ling, Wang Yun¡¯s annoyance towards her increased This b*tch was extremely arrogant and dared to say anything just because she had awakened a support-type talent tree. When the time came, Wang Yun would take revenge on Xi Ling. On the other hand, Yu Chen did some mental calculations when he heard Xi Ling¡¯s words. Other than Yu Chen, amongst the people present, Wang Yun had the highest probability of becoming the Immortal. Furthermore, Yu Chen would not be able to get rid of Wang Yun in a short period of time. In addition, even if he were to drag Wang Yun down, the other party would still have a chance to compete again. In that case¡­ Could he only defeat Wang Yun in the selection? However, Wang Yun was a third realm level ten cultivator, ten levels higher than Yu Chen Although he had many high-level talents, Yu Chen was not confident that he could defeat Wang Yun in all kinds of tests. So, what should he do? Seeing Yu Chen¡¯s hesitation, Wang Yun became bolder. It seemed that Yu Chen was still rational. As long as Yu Chen was not a lunatic, Wang Yun was not afraid of him. Wang Yun controlled his emotions and showed a kind expression. He said to Yu Chen, ¡°Fellow Daoist, what happened before was all a misunderstanding. I think you understand it too.¡± ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, please don¡¯t delay everyone.¡± It sounded as if Wang Yun was trying to reconcile with Yu Chen. In fact, Wang Yun was saying, ¡®Since you don¡¯t dare to attack, why are you wasting your time?¡¯ Yu Chen naturally could tell that the other party was mocking him, so he disappeared in the next second. Every time he faced Wang Yun, Yu Chen would always have a certain feeling. For example: Am I being a little too nice to him? Am I giving him too much face? Should I have punched him first? Wang Yun¡¯s pupils constricted as he subconsciously used a defensive spell A golden bell-shaped barrier appeared around Wang Yun. The next second¡­ THUD ~ Crack ~ Yu Chen¡¯s fist slammed into the barrier, producing a deafening sound. What followed was the sound of a barrier breaking Crack, crack, crack ~ More and more cracks appeared on the barrier, and finally, it shattered under Yu Chen¡¯s punch. Wang Yun was so shocked that his scalp went numb. He never expected Yu Chen to be so powerful. This was a barrier that could withstand a full-powered attack from a third realm level ten cultivator. Even if Wang Yun faced it himself, he would need to take some time to break it. But what about Yu Chen? He destroyed the barrier with just a casual punch! Did he have to be so patronizing? Wang Yun turned around and took a step back, but Yu Chen¡¯s figure appeared behind him like a ghost. The powerful ¡®Strength God¡¯ talent did not just increase Yu Chen¡¯s strength, but also his speed. If one was strong enough, then they could be fast enough. This was relatively simple physics. Wang Yun was shocked. In a moment of desperation, he could only use the Primordial Chaos Art¡¯s Battle Spirit Technique. He crossed his arms and raised them in an attempt to resist Yu Chen¡¯s attack. However, Yu Chen did not want to fight him head-on. He raised his leg and kicked Wang Yun¡¯s abdomen. Bang! This kick landed solidly. Wang Yun¡¯s bloodshot eyes widened and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Pfft! Wang Yun spat out a mouthful of blood and quickly retreated. On the way, in order to prevent Yu Chen from attacking again, Wang Yun took out his nine spiritual swords to protect himself. However, Yu Chen did not attack again. Wang Yun himself hit the barrier and slid down. Blood dripped from his mouth as he hurriedly controlled his spiritual sword to defend against Yu Chen¡¯s attack. However, when he looked at Yu Chen, he realized that Yu Chen had stopped moving. Yu Chen knew he had attacked first just now and therefore caught Wang Yun off guard. This was why he could injure Wang Yun in two moves. However, after Wang Yun reacted, Yu Chen could no longer do it so easily. This was because Wang Yun¡¯s ¡®Swordsmanship Technique¡¯ was not to be trifled with. In addition, although Wang Yun looked extremely miserable, he had only suffered some physical injuries. His spiritual energy had not been exhausted. If Wang Yun was willing, he could even fight with Yu Chen for a day and night. Therefore, after Yu Chen took advantage of the situation, he did not attack again. Meeting Wang Yun¡¯s resentful gaze, Yu Chen said calmly, ¡°Why? Do you want to fight me? I¡¯ll be waiting any time.¡± All of this happened too quickly, causing the Saints and Saintesses to only react when the battle ended. They only felt their vision blur and heard two bangs before Wang Yun was sent flying. What the hell¡­ Was it a second realm cultivator versus a third realm cultivator, or a fourth realm cultivator versus a third realm cultivator? It had to be known that Wang Yun was also not an ordinary third realm cultivator! After the battle ended, Sun Sheng looked at Yu Chen with some respect and said to Zhao Wuji, ¡°Brother, this guy is not to be trifled with.¡± Zhao Wuji¡¯s eyebrows twitched. ¡°Of course I saw it too. I¡¯m not stupid. Why would I provoke him¡­¡± Yu Chen was clearly a little crazy to fight with Wang Yun at such a critical moment in the Immortal selection. Coupled with his powerful strength and strange cultivation, Sun Sheng and Zhao Wuji did not want to become enemies with Yu Chen. Unfortunately, Yu Chen¡¯s expression was slightly lifeless, and he often looked straight ahead. It seemed that nothing could attract his attention. Otherwise, the two of them would definitely go forward and flatter Yu Chen to see if he liked being flattered. However, seeing Yu Chen¡¯s expression now, the two of them dispelled this thought. Xi Ling glanced at Yu Chen in surprise, suddenly hopeful. With her high-grade talent and her support-type talent tree, she originally thought that she would never be able to take revenge. Unexpectedly, the appearance of this second realm cultivator gave Xi Ling hope. Even so, Xi Ling did not look for Yu Chen immediately. Instead, she raised her hand and aimed at Wang Yun. ¡°Talent Skill ¨C Bloodstain Recovery.¡± A green light shot out and enveloped Wang Yun. Not long after, Wang Yun¡¯s injuries completely recovered. Yu Chen looked at Xi Ling in surprise. He did not expect the other party¡¯s support-type talent to be so effective. This recovery speed was even faster than the Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique¡¯s automatic recovery. ¡°Hey, handsome, you¡¯re so strong. How did you train?¡± Huo Miao¡¯er shamelessly approached him and looked at Yu Chen with admiration. This Saintess was acting like a fangirl. It couldn¡¯t be helped. It was a miracle that a second realm cultivator could deal with a third realm cultivator so easily. Huo Miao¡¯er also wanted to become such a miracle, so she wanted to know how Yu Chen cultivated. Chapter 29 - Blood Demons Technique! Chapter 29 Blood Demon¡¯s Technique! Yu Chen only replied, ¡°I was lucky and awakened a high-level talent.¡± Hearing this, Huo Miao¡¯er was disappointed and returned to Xi Ling¡¯s side dejectedly. From the looks of it, she wanted to be the main force.. Unfortunately, the direction her Talent Tree was going wasn¡¯t ideal. Wang Yun¡¯s injuries were healed by Xi Ling. He looked at Yu Chen with hatred and clenched his fists as if he was enduring to the extreme, but he did not dare to attack Yu Chen. The loathsome lunatic¡­ actually attacked me during the Immortal selection. Lunatic! Lunatic!! Wang Yun cursed Yu Chen in his heart. After a while, he stood up and walked to Xi Ling. He cupped his hands and said, ¡°Thank you for your help, Ling¡¯er~ Another day¡­¡± No matter how hateful and crazy Yu Chen was, Wang Yun still had to be a bootlicker. Unfortunately, Xi Ling did not seem to hear Wang Yun. She walked straight towards the Heavenly Staircase, showing only her beautiful back view to him. Huo Miao¡¯er happily made a face at Wang Yun. ¡°Hehehe, Big Sister has already made things so clear, yet you still want to be a dog. Do you have to be so pitiful, Lord ~ Saint?¡± Wang Yun¡¯s expression was calm as he replied gently, ¡°Feelings can be nurtured~¡± Yu Chen could not stand Wang Yun and was afraid that he would attack Wang Yun again. Therefore, Yu Chen also walked towards the Heavenly Staircase. Seeing this, everyone did not delay any longer and headed for the Heavenly Staircase together. At first, they climbed the steps easily. Every few steps, the words ¡°Points +1¡± would appear above someone¡¯s head. As time passed, everyone climbed higher and higher. Ten steps, twenty steps, fifty steps, one hundred steps. It was already quite an ideal result for ordinary third realm cultivators to reach the fiftieth step. But the people who were climbing the Heavenly Staircase now were the six Saints and Saintesses of the Hunyuan Sect. Even so, the pressure of the 100th step could not be underestimated. If they were careless, they would be crushed by the pressure and might even fall. Outside, the Elders and Hall Masters began to whisper among themselves. ¡°It¡¯s already the hundredth step. The real test is coming.¡± ¡°To the Saints and Saintesses, the first 100th step is just the basics. Only those who can climb above the 150th step have the qualifications to become the Immortal.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see. Sun Sheng and Zhao Wuji can¡¯t hold on much longer.¡± ¡°Xi Ling is a support-type cultivator. It¡¯s already amazing for her to be able to come this far.¡± ¡°Huo Miao¡¯er¡¯s results might be better than Sun Sheng and Zhao Wuji.¡± ¡°Wang Yun looks quite relaxed, but I wonder how Chen Yu is doing.¡± ¡°This kid¡¯s face has always been stiff. It hasn¡¯t changed since the beginning. We can¡¯t probe with our divine senses and detect his condition.¡± The seconds ticked by. Everyone¡¯s progress slowed significantly. Yu Chen was the only one who consistently ascended one step every few seconds. After a while, Yu Chen was ahead of everyone. Following behind him were Wang Yun and Xi Ling. This situation was very in line with the scoring rule set by the Heavenly Staircase. Yu Chen only received one point every twelfth step. The two people behind him received one point every tenth step. The people behind them were also climbing in the order set by the scoring rule. It could be seen that there was no error in Heavenly Staircase¡¯s judgment. Everyone¡¯s physical fitness was tested by the Heavenly Staircase. Before long, Yu Chen reached the 150th step. At this moment, he could already feel the heavy pressure coming from all around him. An invisible force was pulling Yu Chen towards the ground. His entire body ached. Unfortunately, this bit of pain was child¡¯s play to Yu Chen. What his main body had experienced in the Heavenly Prison made his avatar understand pain. It could be said that Yu Chen¡¯s body had adapted to the pain. This soreness was basically negligible. The 151st step. The moment he climbed up, Yu Chen felt the pressure around him suddenly increase. His muscles and meridians began to tremble. Yu Chen ignored it and continued forward. By the time Yu Chen reached the 170th step, his bones were already creaking slightly, as if they could not withstand the terrifying pressure. The flesh on his body also cracked due to the force of the pull. Yu Chen used his ¡®Psionic Perception¡¯ to search behind him, only to discover that Xi Ling and Wang Yun had stopped at the 152nd step. It couldn¡¯t be helped. The 151st step had double the pressure of the 150th step. If one could withstand it, they could continue forward. If one could not withstand it, they would not be able to step onto the 152nd step. Yu Chen ignored them because his scoring rule was very unfavorable to him. If his points were not higher than others, Yu Chen would be at a disadvantage. Now, Yu Chen was the only one moving forward. Every step was a great test for the physical body. The 180th step. Yu Chen thought to himself: ¡®What¡¯s the point of carrying on with this?¡¯ ¡®I¡¯ve done my best. There¡¯s no need to go any further.¡¯ ¡®No¡­ not the best yet.¡¯ ¡°This is not my limit yet. How can I give up so easily?¡¯ The 185th step. The pressure was tremendous, and Yu Chen¡¯s bones had reached the maximum pressure they could withstand. However, every twelfth step counted as one point. If Yu Chen gave up now, the five steps he had taken would be wasted. Since he had already come this far, why not grit his teeth and move on? The 190th step. Tiny cracks appeared on Yu Chen¡¯s bones. Fortunately, the Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique could quickly repair them. However, his external injuries had already reached their limit. If he did not retreat now, he would lose too much blood. Two steps left¡­ Yu Chen emptied his mind and tried to ignore the physical pain. He took two quick steps. The 192nd step! The moment he stepped onto the 192nd step, Yu Chen¡¯s body flew towards the ground under the powerful pressure. Below, the Saints and Saintesses were already stunned. Just now, Xi Ling had relied on her powerful cultivation and support-type innate skill to forcefully reach the 160th step. As for Wang Yun, he begrudgingly stopped on the 155th step. After they were eliminated, they had been recuperating on the spot. Unexpectedly, Yu Chen¡¯s figure became smaller and smaller. Yu Chen fell to the ground. Huo Miao¡¯er stood up and flew towards Yu Chen. And then¡­ This girl actually carried Yu Chen in her arms like a princess. Yu Chen had not lost consciousness. His originally lifeless eyes slowly widened, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face. ¡°Hehe, I didn¡¯t expect you to have other expressions!¡± said Huo Miao¡¯er with a wide smile. ¡°What do you think? Am I dashing?¡± The two of them landed on the ground, and Huo Miao¡¯er gently placed Yu Chen on the ground. This scene made Sun Sheng and Zhao Wuji extremely envious. If they had known, they would have held on a little longer. Although Huo Miao¡¯er wasn¡¯t as beautiful as Xi Ling¡¯, she had a good figure. What Yu Chen¡¯s head was resting on just now was like something from a dreamscape¡­ Xi Ling glanced at Yu Chen and thought, ¡®Good perseverance. Unfortunately, he¡¯s from the Hunyuan Sect¡­! Raising her jade-like hand to aim at Yu Chen, Xi Ling said indifferently, ¡°Talent Skill: Bloodstain Recovery.¡± Her spiritual power came into contact with Yu Chen and began to repair his injuries. The next moment, Xi Ling¡¯s beautiful eyes slowly widened. Shock rose in her heart. This¡­ this is¡­ the Blood Demon Mental Cultivation Technique!!! Chapter 30 - A Divine King Who Could Freely Light Talent Chapter 30 A Divine King Who Could Freely Light Talent The Blood Demon was a legendary demon with the ability to destroy the world. Its cultivation technique was extremely evil. Even among demonic techniques, it was one of the top existences. Why would the Blood Demon¡¯s cultivation technique appear on the Saint of the Hunyuan Sect? At the same time, Yu Chen¡¯s Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique was hidden very deeply. From the outside, Yu Chen was just a cultivator who cultivated the Primordial Chaos Art. However, after probing with spiritual power, Xi Ling discovered Yu Chen¡¯s secret. It seemed that¡­ his background was also rather mysterious. Xi Ling was surprised, but she didn¡¯t say anything. Instead, she controlled her expression and acted normally. After being treated by Xi Ling¡¯s medical talent, Yu Chen felt that his entire body was soaked in a warm potion. The pain in his wound quickly subsided, and at the same time, it began to heal rapidly. Before long, Yu Chen finished recovering under Xi Ling¡¯s treatment. At this moment, everyone¡¯s results appeared in the sky. (Sun Sheng: Third Realm Level Eight Scoring rule: One point for every seventh step. Total of Staircase Climbed: 107 Final score: 15] [Zhao Wuji: Third Realm Level Eight Scoring rule: One point for every seventh step. Total of Staircase Climbed: 108 Final score: 15) (Wang Yun: Third Realm Level Ten Scoring rule: One point for every tenth step. Total of Staircase Climbed: 155 Final score: 15] (Huo Miao¡¯er: Third Realm Level Nine Scoring rule: One point for every eighth step. Total of Staircase Climbed: 121 Final score: 15] [Xi Ling: Fourth Realm Level Five Scoring rule: One point for every tenth step. Total of Staircase Climbed: 160 Final score: 16] (Yu Chen: Second Realm Level Ten Scoring rule: One point for every twelfth step. Total of Staircase Climbed: 192 Final score: 16] This score made Wang Yun very unhappy. If not for the fact that Yu Chen had caused trouble for him before they started, his score would have been 16 points. However, the truth was right in front of him. There was no point in arguing. And before he started, Xi Ling had healed his injuries. ¡°Thanks a lot.¡± After Yu Chen was treated by Xi Ling, he stood up and thanked her. However, Xi Ling mysteriously said, ¡°You¡¯re welcome. I have an important matter to discuss with you after the Immortal selection.¡± Yu Chen tilted his head and revealed a puzzled expression. ¡®Important matter?¡¯ ¡®What important matter could I possibly have with her?¡¯ Although puzzled, Yu Chen did not ask further. The results were calculated by the Heavenly Staircase, and the few of them returned the way they came. Yu Chen sensed the surging power in his body and thought to himself, ¡®What¡¯s going on? I feel that my physical strength has increased a lot.¡¯ Perhaps it was the increase in physical cultivation brought by the pressure, or perhaps it was something else. Yu Chen¡¯s physical strength had increased by nearly 1%. It didn¡¯t seem like much, but this was only a short-term improvement. If Xi Ling cooperated with Yu Chen and let him cultivate in the Heavenly Staircase, Yu Chen¡¯s physical cultivation would definitely increase within a few days. After remembering this, Yu Chen followed the Saints and Saintesses out of the Heavenly Staircase. The higher-ups of the Hunyuan Sect outside also looked at the Saints and Saintesses in relief. ¡°The scoring rule given by the Heavenly Staircase could allow cultivators to obtain 15 points at most.¡± ¡°Moreover, no one has ever broken this record.¡± ¡°Now that two juniors with sixteen points have appeared together, it¡¯s obvious that their hearts are firm to the path and their perseverance is astonishing.¡± That¡¯s right, the Heavenly Staircase did not test everyone¡¯s physical cultivation, but their perseverance. Set different scoring rules according to each person¡¯s different physique. Fifteen points counted as the limit. Sixteen points was amazing perseverance. As for seventeen points¡­ If he forcefully used some spells to climb up more steps and obtained 17 points, it would also hurt this cultivation foundation. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the Hunyuan Sect did not allow the existence of 17 points. Sect Master Feng Changchun stood in the sky and said to the Saints and Saintesses standing below, ¡°Fifteen points is the limit for ordinary cultivators.¡± ¡°But to the future Immortal of the Hunyuan Sect, it is merely a passing grade.¡± ¡°And if you get less than fifteen points, you will be directly eliminated.¡± When they heard this, Sun Sheng and Zhao Wuji revealed fearful expressions. Good God, so they had almost been eliminated. Feng Changchun continued, ¡°I¡¯ll give you four hours to rest. The next assessment will assess your physical cultivation.¡± The Heavenly Staircase just now was an assessment of one¡¯s dedication to the path and perseverance. The real physical cultivation assessment was yet to come. The few of them did not waste any time. They sat cross-legged and began to meditate, trying their best to adjust their condition to its best. Feng Yuan¡¯s voice sounded in Feng Changchun¡¯s mind again. Feng Yuan: ¡°Good! Good!!¡± ¡°The heavens have really blessed my Hunyuan Sect with such a genius.¡± Feng Changchun naturally knew who Feng Yuan was talking about, but he was a little puzzled. ¡°Father, why?¡± ¡°If Saint Wang Yun is in his best state, it¡¯s very likely that he will score 16 points.¡± ¡°Why does Father only like Chen Yu?¡± That¡¯s right. They had all seen the battle in the Heavenly Staircase. Although Yu Chen¡¯s performance was outstanding, he was suspected of a sneak attack. Although the Second Realm Yu Chen defeating the Third Realm Wang Yun had indeed shocked everyone, Wang Yun was not good at close combat. In addition, Yu Chen might have high-level close combat talent, so this kind of thing was not very shocking. Afterwards Xi Ling helped Wang Yun recover from his injuries, so they no longer pursued the fight between Yu Chen and Wang Yun. However¡­ a fight between Saints did not conform to the rules. The Hunyuan Sect would also interfere and investigate the feud between Yu Chen and Wang Yun. After all, both of them were the future of the Hunyuan Sect, and the sect did not want to lose either side. When Feng Yuan heard Feng Changchun¡¯s reply, he couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud. Feng Yuan: ¡®Hahaha! My son, you don¡¯t know.¡¯ ¡°This Saint Chen Yu is just an avatar!¡¯ Feng Changchun was shocked. ¡®Wh-what?!¡¯ Feng Changchun asked, ¡®Father, why didn¡¯t you tell me earlier?¡¯ ¡°To let his avatar become a Saint and even participate in the selection of the Immortal? My Hunyuan Sect doesn¡¯t have such rules!¡¯ Feng Yuan: ¡®Stupid!¡¯ ¡®Even his avatar is so terrifying, let alone his main body.¡¯ Think about it. How strong will Chen Yu¡¯s main body be?¡¯ ¡®I¡¯m afraid there are more than one or two legendary top-grade talents on his Talent Tree!¡¯ ¡®In fact, he might even have the mythical divine-grade talent.¡¯ ¡®Such a monster is actually a disciple of our Hunyuan Sect. Can¡¯t our Hunyuan Sect bend the rules for him?¡¯ After hearing Feng Yuan¡¯s words, Feng Changchun finally understood. Yu Chen¡¯s current results were all achieved by his avatar. So if Yu Chen¡¯s main body came, all the Saints and Saintesses would be crushed by him. Besides, Yu Chen¡­ was only a second realm level ten cultivator! Also, he was very young. He wasn¡¯t even twenty years old. If he sincerely joined the Hunyuan Sect and the sect nurtured him, wouldn¡¯t he become a legend? After all, the talent that Yu Chen had displayed was unprecedented. Except, of course, in myths and legends¡­ This was because in myths and legends, there was a Divine King who could light his own talent. Chapter 31 - Theres No Need to Pretend In Front of Me Chapter 31 There¡¯s No Need to Pretend In Front of Me Second Part of the Immortal Selection: Physical Cultivation. Selection venue: Chaos Sea. Sun Sheng Scored: 14 Zhao Wuji Scored: 15 Huo Miao¡¯er Scored: 15 Xi Ling Scored: 15 Wang Yun Scored: 16 Yu Chen Scored: 21 When Yu Chen flew out of the Chaos Sea, he saw everyone looking at him in horror. In fact, this was all under Yu Chen¡¯s expectations. He already had the ¡®Strength God¡¯ talent, and he had also cultivated the Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique related to his physique. It could be said that Yu Chen¡¯s physical cultivation had already surpassed many cultivators of the same level. Even among third realm cultivators, he was an existence that others looked up to. It had to be known that the reason Yu Chen was able to fight Wang Yun, a third realm level ten cultivator, without being at a disadvantage was because of his physical cultivation. Third Part of the Immortal Selection: Spiritual Power Cultivation. Selection Venue: Hunyuan Bell. Yu Chen Scored: 13 Sun Sheng Scored: 14 Zhao Wuji Scored: 15 Huo Miao¡¯er Scored: 15 Xi Ling Scored: 15 Wang Yun Scored: 16 Although he had the Primordial Chaos Art that could transform his physical cultivation into spiritual power cultivation, Yu Chen still couldn¡¯t change the fact that his cultivation realm was low. The Fourth Part of the Immortal Assessment¡­ The Hunyuan Sect was undergoing the Immortal assessment, but the Heavenly Prison was dark. Yu Chen received the memories from his avatar and felt a trace of freedom. It had been a month since he started cultivating the Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique. Yu Chen¡¯s Blood God Cultivation Technique had also reached the tenth level of the second realm. Blood Demon said, ¡®Kid, what kind of cultivation speed is that?¡¯ ¡®Could it be that one of your divine-grade talents is ¡®Genius¡¯?¡¯ That¡¯s right, the Blood Demon had seen Yu Chen awaken his divine-grade talent. Yu Chen had shocked him so much that he was a little numb. Yu Chen did not answer the Blood Demon¡¯s question. Instead, he asked in his heart, ¡®Now that I¡¯ve cultivated the Blood God Cultivation Technique, what should I do next?¡¯ Blood Demon said, ¡®Hehe, you¡¯re in such a hurry, kid.¡¯ ¡®Let me explain to you. You are currently on the fifth floor of the Heavenly Prison. It¡¯s called Dark Fear.¡¯ ¡®I won¡¯t say much about the punishment.¡¯ ¡®Apart from the darkness, you have to endure the physical ravages from monsters.¡¯ ¡®You want to help me, but I¡¯m not in a hurry.¡¯ ¡®It¡¯s only because you¡¯re still too weak and haven¡¯t reached the cultivation level I want.¡¯ ¡®In the prison of Dark Fear where you are, there is also a barrier that troubles me.¡¯ ¡®Now, I want you to raise your cultivation to the tenth level of the third realm. Only then will you be qualified to affect one of the barriers suppressing me.¡¯ ¡®Do you understand? You are still too weak, boy.¡¯ The Blood Demon¡¯s words made Yu Chen despair. So how long was he going to have to stay in this bitter prison? The Blood God Cultivation Technique would indeed help Yu Chen recover from his injuries. However, the faster he recovered, the more frequently he would be attacked by monsters. The psychological trauma he suffered at the same time would also be more serious. Yu Chen¡¯s face darkened, his eyes were bloodshot in the darkness. Even with his ¡®Calm and Composed¡¯ talent, Yu Chen had already reached his limit. Again, he was just an ordinary man. He shouldn¡¯t have come here to be punished so horribly. Unfair. Too unfair. Just because the original owner was weak, Yu Chen had to suffer? Just because of Wang Yun¡¯s selfish motives, he had to go to the Heavenly Prison? A wave of resentment rose in his heart. Yu Chen slowly closed his eyes, trying to calm his frustration. Not long after, Yu Chen began to cultivate. This time, he cultivated the Primordial Chaos Art. This was because the Blood God Cultivation Technique was a demonic technique. He couldn¡¯t easily let others find out about it. Therefore, Yu Chen could only control the realm of the Primordial Chaos Art and the Blood God Cultivation Technique. As long as the realm of the Primordial Chaos Art was higher than the Blood God Cultivation Technique, Yu Chen¡¯s main cultivation was still the Primordial Chaos Art As long as one did not send spiritual energy into Yu Chen¡¯s body, no matter how powerful their cultivation was, they would not be able to sense Yu Chen¡¯s Blood God Cultivation Technique. Wait¡­ Send spiritual power into his body? Yu Chen¡¯s face darkened. ¡®Oh no! At that time, Saintess Xi Ling seemed to have discovered my secret.¡¯ Although he was frustrated, Yu Chen could not do anything about it. ¡°Hmph¡­¡± One day, Yu Chen would like to have control over his own life. He would not let anyone or any other creature control him! Days passed. The Immortal Selection of the Hunyuan Sect had come to an end. Yu Chen was far ahead with 321 points. Wang Yun, who was in second place, only had 300 points. The various tests also took half a year. The Saints and Saintesses were also exhausted. They looked as if they would fall asleep in the next second. Although cultivators did not need to rest after entering the second realm, after so many days of meditating without sleeping, the Saints and Saintesses¡¯ mental strength had almost been exhausted. When the selection ended, Yu Chen¡¯s complexion was slightly pale. When Sect Master Feng Changchun saw the appearance of the Saints and Saintesses, he immediately instructed, ¡°Go back and rest first. The selection result will be made public in ten days.¡± In their own hearts, everyone knew the results. Yu Chen¡¯s results were so good, so he must be the Immortal. Everyone looked at Yu Chen¡¯s departing figure and felt extremely envious. Wang Yun stood rooted to the ground in a daze, as if he could not accept this fact. If not for Yu Chen, he would have been the Saint. Sh*t. Where the hell did this guy come from?? Ten more days. No¡­ There were countless years to go. Wang Yun just had to kill Yu Chen before Feng Changchun died. So, when the time came for the Immortal to inherit the position of sect master, he would be the sect master. Now, Yu Chen was the First Saint and was also called the Immortal. The Immortal had the first right of inheritance for the position of Sect Master. And Wang Yun was the Second Saint. Only if something happened to Yu Chen would Wang Yun be qualified to be the acting sect master¡­ When he returned to his floating island, Yu Chen welcomed an unfamiliar guest. The man had white hair and wore a white robe. Although he was old, he was full of energy and vitality. Just like a young man. ¡°What brings you here, Senior?¡± Yu Chen knew that this might be a mighty figure from the Hunyuan Sect, so he spoke politely. What Yu Chen did not know was that as soon as he left, Xi Ling followed him to his residence. Unfortunately, after seeing the old man, Xi Ling chose not to enter Yu Chen¡¯s floating island. Instead, she hid in the dark. ¡°Little friend from the Hunyuan Sect, do you know the rules of the Hunyuan Sect?¡± Feng Yuan stood up and walked towards Yu Chen. He stroked his beard and said with a smile. Yu Chen played dumb. ¡°I don¡¯t understand what you¡¯re talking about, Senior.¡± Feng Yuan smiled. ¡°Little friend, there¡¯s no need to pretend in front of me.¡± ¡°I know that you¡¯re an avatar, but I didn¡¯t attack you, did I?¡± Yu Chen took a wary step back. Feng Yuan ignored Yu Chen¡¯s actions and continued to approach. ¡°Little friend, since you cultivate the Primordial Chaos Art, you¡¯re also a member of my Hunyuan Sect.¡± ¡°If you¡¯re willing to reveal your true identity, the position of the Immortal will belong to you.¡± In other words, if Yu Chen did not reveal his true identity, the position of the Immortal would belong to Wang Yun? Chapter 32 - Unless I Have No Choice Chapter 32 Unless I Have No Choice Yu Chen stared at the old man in front of him and held his breath. His mind began to race. ¡®What should I do?¡¯ ¡®This guy looks so strong. I definitely can¡¯t defeat him¡¯. ¡®If I don¡¯t do as he says, I would probably lose my avatar.¡¯ ¡®Besides, my main purpose here is to prevent Wang Yun from becoming the Immortal.¡¯ Should he continue to insist that he was Gongsun Yue¡¯s disciple? ¡®No¡­ I can¡¯t do that.¡¯ ¡®The fact that this old man had come to find me meant that I had been exposed. If I continued to pretend, I would probably lose my avatar.¡¯ ¡®If that happened, the main body in the Heavenly Prison would lose its only joy. It would probably be driven crazy by the endless darkness.¡¯ But what would happen if Yu Chen told him his true identity? ¡®No¡­ it won¡¯t end well.¡¯ The decision to frame Gongsun Yue was personally made by the Grand Elder of the Hunyuan Sect. Now, Gongsun Yue was still suffering in the Heavenly Prison. ¡®Gongsun Yue was a Saintess. She was sent to the Heavenly Prison because of a small mistake. What would happen if a mere core disciple like me were also in the same situation?¡¯ Although he did not know who the old man in front of him was, it was obvious that he was not ordinary. ¡®If my true identity was exposed, then in the eyes of the older generation of the Hunyuan Sect, I would be a traitor who stole the True Legacy Core Technique.¡¯ If he was a traitor, no matter how talented he was, he would no longer be accepted by the Hunyuan Sect. However, if he directly said that he was wronged, the other party would most likely not believe him. ¡°This was because the person who ordered to have me sent to the Heavenly Prison was Sect Master Feng Changchun. This matter concerned the Sect Master¡¯s reputation.¡¯ ¡®Besides, even if he believed me, would he think that I held a grudge against the Hunyuan Sect? Would he want to get rid of me?¡¯ ¡®It¡¯s not that I¡¯m being paranoid, but this world is different from my original world. I have to be extremely cautious.¡¯ If he could be careful, he would definitely not take the risk. Besides, although the avatar was not the main body, it would be troublesome if it were destroyed. ¡®What to do¡­ What to do?!¡¯ Is there a way to not let Wang Yun become the Immortal without exposing his own identity? ¡®It didn¡¯t matter if I did not become the Immortal.¡¯ Anyway, Yu Chen didn¡¯t really care. With the cheat that allowed him to freely light the Talent Tree, Yu Chen¡¯s strength would sooner or later develop to a certain extent. At that time, his identity as the Immortal of the Hunyuan Sect would seem a little cheap. ¡°How is it? Have you decided?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have that much patience.¡± The white-robed elder stared at Yu Chen with narrowed eyes and said, ¡°I¡¯ve given you quite a bit of time. So¡­ what¡¯s your answer?¡± Yu Chen calmed down and said, ¡°My identity is a little complicated. Now is not a good time to expose it.¡± As soon as he said that, a heavy pressure surged from all directions. This pressure made Yu Chen feel as if he was at the bottom of the sea. The powerful pressure made Yu Chen unable to breathe. ¡°Tsk¡­¡± Yu Chen said, ¡°This is just an avatar. So what if I die? You¡¯re already so old¡­ Can you listen to what I have to say?¡± After stumbling over these words, Yu Chen suddenly felt the surrounding space relax. His tense muscles relaxed. Yu Chen calmed down and said, ¡°Although I can¡¯t tell you my true identity, I can guarantee that I have no intention of becoming enemies with the Hunyuan Sect.¡± ¡°Moreover, under normal circumstances, I¡¯m still a member of the Hunyuan Sect. In fact, I¡¯m from a good family in the Hunyuan Sect!¡± That¡¯s right. Yu Chen¡¯s parents were originally from the Hunyuan Sect. Unfortunately, they both sacrificed their lives for the sect during a mission. It was also very correct to say that Yu Chen was from a good family. The white-robed old man had sharp eyes. He knew at a glance that Yu Chen was not lying. In that case, he was relieved. ¡°Hahaha!¡± The old man suddenly laughed. He pinched his waist and covered his forehead with one hand. He half-jokingly said, ¡°I was just joking with you. Don¡¯t be so serious ~¡±. ¡°Since you said so yourself, you must be from my Hunyuan Sect.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know what your difficulties are, but it would be best if you could reveal your identity one day.¡± ¡°By the way, since you have no intention of becoming enemies with the Hunyuan Sect, I¡¯ll tell you this on behalf of the Hunyuan Sect: As long as you don¡¯t do anything to harm the Hunyuan Sect, the Hunyuan Sect will always back you up.¡± ¡°Genius boy, your talent is very good. Don¡¯t waste it.¡± The old man¡¯s tone was quite relaxed, making people involuntarily relax. Yu Chen heaved a sigh of relief and replied symbolically. However, the old man announced with a serious expression, ¡°Unfortunately, although you¡¯re talented, I¡¯m already being merciful by letting you use your avatar to become the Saint.¡± ¡°Since you¡¯re unwilling to expose your identity now, I don¡¯t think you care about being the Immortal, right?¡± ¡°In that case, let¡¯s choose someone else to be the Immortal.¡± Yu Chen did not react to this and only asked, ¡°I have a recommendation for the Immortal. I wonder if Senior is willing to listen?¡± The old man¡¯s interest was piqued. ¡°Oh? I see. Tell me about it.¡± Yu Chen recalled his experience during the Immortal selection and said, ¡°I think Saintess Xi Ling is the most qualified to become the Immortal.¡± ¡°Although she¡¯s a support-type cultivator, she has a high-grade ¡®Genius¡¯ talent and her cultivation speed is extremely fast.¡± ¡°At the same time, she has a lot more willpower than the Saints.¡± ¡°Besides, be it the Immortal or the future sect master.¡± ¡°The positions they hold are all behind the lines, giving orders.¡± ¡°Under such circumstances, it wouldn¡¯t matter whether she had a support-type Talent Tree or combat-type Talent Tree, right?¡± ¡°More importantly, such an important position cannot be held by fools. Otherwise, it will be a loss for the Hunyuan Sect.¡± ¡°In the future, if a situation in which the Immortal and the Sect Master need to make a decision, some Saints won¡¯t be able to make the right judgment.¡± These words were extremely sharp and pointed at a certain someone. How could the old man not tell? The white-robed elder pointed it out. ¡°Do you have a grudge against Little Wang?¡± ¡®Little Wang? Is he talking about Wang Yun?¡¯ Yu Chen thought to himself and admitted very frankly, ¡°That¡¯s right, I can¡¯t deny that.¡± ¡°As a higher-up of the Hunyuan Sect, you must have some understanding of Wang Yun¡¯s behavior, right?¡± The old man blushed when he heard that. ¡°Ahem¡­ That¡­ That¡¯s true. But as the saying goes, it¡¯s better to make friends than to make enemies. Since you and Wang Yun are both from the Hunyuan Sect, why don¡¯t you sit down and have a good talk?¡± Yu Chen knew that he could not give in on this matter. Otherwise, Wang Yun would really be the Immortal. Once Yu Chen gave in, the higher-ups would appoint Wang Yun as the Immortal. By then it would be too late. Yu Chen did not want to become enemies with the entire Hunyuan Sect. ¡°No! This matter is non-negotiable!¡± Yu Chen¡¯s tone turned cold. ¡°Senior, my conflict with Wang Yun cannot be reconciled. If he really becomes the Immortal of the Hunyuan Sect, then there will be no place for me in the sect anymore.¡± ¡°I have no intention of becoming enemies with the Hunyuan Sect unless I have no choice.¡± ¡°Senior, ten days later, it¡¯s up to you who will be the Immortal between Wang Yun and Xi Ling, and whether I want to give up this avatar.¡± One had to have a bottom line. Otherwise, people will think you¡¯re easy to bully. Even when facing a big shot whose cultivation realm he did not know, Yu Chen refused to back down. Chapter 33 - Im Not a Princess Chapter 33 I¡¯m Not a Princess Facing Yu Chen¡¯s determined attitude, the old man thought for a moment and said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll take my leave.¡± Before leaving, the old man thought to himself, ¡®What¡¯s the relationship between this little guy and Xi Ling? He can even give up the position of the Immortal. Could it be that he¡¯s interested in Xi Ling?¡¯ ¡®No, no. He doesn¡¯t look like the type to be interested in beautiful women.¡¯ ¡®Still¡­ Xi Ling that girl had been watching for so long, surely she didn¡¯t think we hadn¡¯t noticed?¡¯ After the old man left, Yu Chen walked to the edge of the floating island. ¡°Come out. He¡¯s gone.¡± Xi Ling slowly flew up from below. Her beautiful eyes stared at Yu Chen and asked curiously, ¡°May I know why Your Highness Saint is helping me?¡± Yu Chen did not answer. Instead, he asked, ¡°What do you want?¡± Xi Ling smiled faintly and stepped out of the void. She landed less than ten meters in front of Yu Chen and said via voice transmission, ¡®Isn¡¯t it a little strange for a Saint of the Hunyuan Sect to cultivate a Blood Demon cultivation technique?¡¯ Yu Chen frowned. ¡®Did you discover it when you were treating me?¡¯ Xi Ling inclined her head. ¡®Yes. But don¡¯t worry. I mean no harm, and I won¡¯t expose you.¡¯ ¡°Oh? That¡¯s interesting.¡¯ Yu Chen rubbed his chin. ¡®The Hunyuan Sect¡¯s Saintess discovered that the Saint cultivated a demonic technique, but she wouldn¡¯t expose him?¡¯ From the looks of it, Xi Ling¡¯s identity was probably not simple. Xi Ling smiled back. ¡®Because as long as I don¡¯t expose you, you¡¯re an ally to me.¡¯ ¡®Are you so sure that I will feel threatened to help you?¡¯ Yu Chen sneered. This person was looking down on him. Was Yu Chen the kind of person who would be threatened by such a thing? At most, Yu Chen would just fight to the death with Xi Ling on the spot and use her appearance on his avatar. It would not be a loss. Xi Ling shook her head. ¡®What I mean is that if you cultivate the Blood Demon cultivation technique, it means that you will never be able to integrate into the Hunyuan Sect again in your life.¡¯ ¡®You have to know that although the Hunyuan Sect doesn¡¯t claim to be righteous, they reject Blood Demon cultivation techniques.¡¯ ¡®Don¡¯t you know that?¡¯ Yu Chen calmed down and listened carefully. Xi Ling continued, ¡®Then, since you can¡¯t completely integrate into the Hunyuan Sect no matter what, it proves that you¡¯re actually not from the Hunyuan Sect.¡¯ ¡®Since you¡¯re not from the Hunyuan Sect, you¡¯re my ally.¡¯ These words sounded strange, but when Yu Chen thought about it carefully, his eyes widened. ¡®You!¡¯ This person seemed to be a spy arranged by other forces to spy on the Hunyuan Sect? Xi Ling was unfazed by Yu Chen¡¯s surprise. Instead, she said very frankly, ¡®The reason why I exposed my identity was to let you understand that I¡¯m not your enemy, and I won¡¯t harm you.¡¯ ¡®Besides, you just fought for my chance to become the Immortal. I should be thanking you.¡¯ Yu Chen¡¯s head hurt. It was obvious that Xi Ling and the Hunyuan Sect were enemies. Then Yu Chen¡¯s helping Xi Ling¡­ Wouldn¡¯t it implicate him? Yu Chen sighed. ¡°Can you introduce yourself?¡± Xi Ling looked around. ¡°You think it¡¯s safe?¡± ¡°Then come in and talk.¡± Yu Chen turned around and walked towards his residence. ¡°The Hunyuan Sect originally only had the Xuanming Mountain Range, but it later expanded to many surrounding empires.¡± ¡°Its act of conquering the empire and taking the empire¡¯s territory into its pocket is called expanding its territory.¡± ¡°At the same time, the Hunyuan Sect will enslave the empire that has already been occupied, causing the people of the empire to be in deep misery.¡± ¡°This action makes them no different from the Demon Sect.¡± ¡°Living in the Hunyuan Sect every day, I feel disgusted and nauseous facing those bandits.¡± In the center of Yu Chen¡¯s floating island was a courtyard. In the living room, Xi Ling held a cup of hot tea with both hands and slowly said something that shocked Yu Chen. There was a hint of sadness on her exquisite and beautiful face. Yu Chen looked at Xi Ling with interest and said, ¡°Why are you saying these things to me?¡± Xi Ling recovered her composure. ¡°I thought you asked me to introduce myself,¡± she said softly. Yu Chen was a little curious. ¡°Oh, then you are¡­¡± Creek Spirit gave a wry smile. ¡°As I have mentioned, the Hunyuan Sect has also conquered my hometown¡­¡± Bang! Yu Chen slapped the table and immediately said, ¡°I understand!¡± ¡°You¡¯re the kind of princess who has lost her country. Your intention of hiding in the Hunyuan Sect is to find an opportunity to overthrow the Hunyuan Sect¡¯s rule over the kingdom!¡± ¡°Am I right?¡± Xi Ling corrected Yu Chen¡¯s mistake. ¡°I¡¯m not a princess. I¡¯m just a commoner. The princess of the empire has been forced to marry an elder of the Hunyuan Sect.¡± Yu Chen was speechless. ¡°I see. I¡¯ve never heard of the Hunyuan Sect committing all kinds of crimes.¡± Yu Chen revealed a thoughtful expression. According to Xi Ling¡¯s description, the Hunyuan Sect was simply a demon. Not only did they enslave civilians, but they also bullied the civilians and caused their lives to be in dire straits¡­ How was this one of the five major sects in the world? This was simply a bandit and a bully! Xi Ling straightened her face. ¡°That¡¯s why I have to live with these animals, and then climb my way up to the highest position so I can find a way to save my home.¡± Yu Chen tapped his fingertips on the table. ¡°There are so many empires in the territory of the Hunyuan Sect. As a Saintess, it¡¯s easy for you to protect one of them.¡± Xi Ling shook her head. ¡°You think too highly of a Saintess, especially¡­ a Saintess with a support-type Talent Tree.¡± In the eyes of the higher-ups of the Primordial Chaos Sect, Xi Ling was not as important as Huo Miao¡¯er. ¡°What about the Immortal?¡± Yu Chen asked. ¡°The Immortal should be able to do it, right?¡± ¡°You¡¯ll be the Immortal in ten days. So you can protect your homeland, right?¡± ¡°So, why were you looking for me?¡± Seeing Yu Chen¡¯s impatience, Xi Ling knew that he was not interested in her affairs at all. Xi Ling suddenly lowered her pretty face as she explained, ¡°Uh¡­ I¡­ I wanted to ask for your help to become the Immortal, but you beat me to it¡­¡± Yu Chen waved his hand. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. As long as Wang Yun isn¡¯t the Immortal, anyone else is fine.¡± Xi Ling explained who she was, and Yu Chen realized he didn¡¯t dislike her. For some reason, when Yu Chen found out that Xi Ling¡¯s goal was to save her hometown from suffering, he did not intend to be her enemy. Although he would not claim to be a good person, as long as the other party did not get in his way, Yu Chen would not do anything bad either. Besides, as someone who had gone through nine years of compulsory education, Yu Chen also felt that the Hunyuan Sect was wrong. Unfortunately, by this world¡¯s standards, the Hunyuan Sect had not done anything wrong. The strong preyed on the weak. That was all. Xi Ling looked embarrassed. ¡°Well¡­ I came over just to thank you.¡± ¡°If I become a goddess, you can come to me if you have any difficulties. I won¡¯t stand by and do nothing if I can help.¡± Yu Chen¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°When you become the Immortal, help me kill Wang Yun!¡± Xi Ling was speechless. Yu Chen did not have the so-called martial artist spirit. As long as Wang Yun died because of him, Yu Chen did not care how Wang Yun died. Yu Chen even thought that Wang Yun had profited greatly by letting him die so easily. It was only fair to let him experience what Yu Chen had experienced before letting him die. Chapter 34 - It Has Been One Year Chapter 34 It Has Been One Year As expected, Xi Ling did not directly agree to Yu Chen¡¯s request. Yu Chen was not disappointed. After all, compared to borrowing the strength of others, he felt that it would be more satisfying to do it himself. However, whether it be Yu Chen dirtying his own hands or any other way, Wang Yun must die. Although Xi Ling did not directly agree, she promised Yu Chen, ¡°Before helping my homeland out of its difficulties, I can¡¯t help you deal with Wang Yun.¡± ¡°However, when my homeland is fine, I will do everything I can to help you deal with Wang Yun.¡± Yu Chen asked with interest, ¡°Oh? Why? Isn¡¯t he your lackey?¡± Xi Ling looked down and said very truthfully, ¡°Because of my special Talent Tree, I can see a little into a person¡¯s nature.¡± ¡°His true character is the exact opposite of his appearance.¡± Ten days later. The Immortal of the Hunyuan Sect had been chosen: Xi Ling! At first this was very puzzling. Everyone thought this was too strange. Even if Yu Chen wasn¡¯t chosen, Wang Yun should have been chosen. However, because of the appearance of the Grand Elder, everyone quieted down. ¡­ As the days passed, Yu Chen did not participate in Xi Ling¡¯s plan to rescue her hometown. His avatar took care of the floating island every day, but his main body was suffering in the prison. At this moment, in the Heavenly Prison. Heavy breathing echoed in the darkness. A pair of blood-red eyes floated in midair, making one shudder. If not for the ¡®sense-of-freedom¡¯ brought by his avatar, Yu Chen would probably have gone. After surviving in an environment without light for so long, one couldn¡¯t last long before being reduced to a lunatic. Although Yu Chen¡¯s condition was slightly better than the other prisoners, he was still rather crazy. After dealing with another wave of monster attacks, Yu Chen¡¯s low laughter sounded. ¡°Hehehe¡­ How many times has it been?¡± ¡°If you want me to suffer properly, you have to pay the price.¡± Yu Chen knew that these monsters were raised by the Heavenly Prison. Therefore, while Yu Chen accepted the ¡®grace¡¯ of the Heavenly Prison, he also wanted the Heavenly Prison to accept his ¡®grace¡¯. Yu Chen no longer expected to see the thing that he had yearned for to happen. Loneliness or pain, it didn¡¯t matter. Be it his spirit or personality, he relied on the spiritual food sent to his main body by his avatar to survive. Just like this, days passed. Finally, a year after Yu Chen entered the Heavenly Prison¡­ Boom ~ In the dark and terrifying Heavenly Prison, an extremely violent spiritual wind blew in all directions. Yu Chen felt the spiritual power in his body expanding crazily and could not help but laugh out loud. ¡°Hahaha! Hahahaha -¡° ¡°Finally¡­ finally broke through.¡± ¡°Third Realm. I¡¯m also a third realm cultivator now.¡± ¡°How many punches can Wang Yun take from me now¡­¡± ¡°How many waves of Heavenly Prison monsters can I kill now?¡± As he muttered to himself, Yu Chen suddenly rubbed his head with his hands. ¡°Damn it¡­ What am I thinking? Why do I have such arrogant thoughts?¡± ¡°No¡­ I don¡¯t want to think about it, but my mind is out of control.¡± ¡°What should I do?¡± In a year, Yu Chen had experienced too much cruelty in the Heavenly Prison. The Heavenly Prison was filled with vicious cultivators on the continent. They were heinous, committing murder, arson, robbery, slavery, and rape. There were basically no crimes that they have not committed. The Heavenly Prison was a gathering place for the scum of the world. It was also hell on earth. What happened here had already refreshed Yu Chen¡¯s worldview over and over again. The current Yu Chen would not feel anything no matter how much he saw. Here, the world seemed unreal. All kinds of events that refreshed the bottom line of humanity would happen. Under these circumstances, it was impossible to maintain the kindness in his heart. You could only choose to either survive or perish here. After leveling up, Yu Chen did not hesitate to use his talent points to tap on ¡®Calm and Composed¡¯. (Calm and composed ¨C Medium-grade: It can calm you down and not be disturbed.) Compared to the low-grade version, the effect of the middle-grade version was ten times better. Yu Chen stood where he was with lifeless eyes. He took a deep breath and gradually calmed down. His heart began to calm down. This feeling was as if he had been standing all his life, but now he was suddenly sitting down. It was indescribably comfortable. Under the enhancement of ¡®Calm and composed¡¯, Yu Chen¡¯s eyes regained clarity. He sat cross-legged on the ground and thought, ¡®It¡¯ll take a while before the next wave attacks me. I¡¯ll contact the Blood Demon first.¡¯ Yu Chen began to call out to the Blood Demon in his heart. ¡®Hey! Blood Demon, Blood Demon!¡¯ ¡®I¡¯m already in the third realm. Hurry up and give me a mission. What do I have to do?¡¯ The Blood Demon said, ¡®Oh? So soon? I thought you would need ten years.¡¯ ¡®But ¡­ whatever.¡¯ ¡®Since you¡¯re already in the third realm, your strength has probably risen to an unimaginable level, right?¡¯ Yu Chen said, ¡®Well, I didn¡¯t expect the difference between the second realm and the third realm to be so big.¡¯ ¡®The current me can instantly kill a second realm-version of me.¡¯ ¡®Conservatively speaking, my strength has inflated over thirty times.¡¯ ¡°Am I now qualified enough to complete your mission?¡¯ Blood Demon said, ¡®Very well. The Dark Terror in the Heavenly Prison, which is the cell that you¡¯re currently in.¡¯ ¡®There¡¯s a silver chain with an upward link there. I need you to leave a mark on that silver chain.¡¯ ¡®Of course. The most important thing now is to find that silver chain.¡¯ ¡®According to my deduction, its approximate location is¡­! ¡®Alright, let¡¯s go. Report to me when you find the silver lock.¡¯ Yu Chen said, ¡®I found it.¡¯ The Blood Demon said, ¡®What?!¡¯ That¡¯s right. As soon as the Blood Demon finished speaking, Yu Chen quickly set off. It didn¡¯t take long for him to find the so-called silver chain. After losing his vision and perception, Yu Chen¡¯s hearing was trained to be extremely sensitive. At this moment, Yu Chen was in front of a metal block. He raised one of his hands to touch the cold metal. As Yu Chen swayed, he heard the faint sound of metal colliding. If he wasn¡¯t wrong, this was the silver chain the Blood Demon had mentioned. Blood Demon said, ¡®I¡¯m leaving a curse mark in your mind now. I need you to carve a mark with the blood created with the Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique on the silver chain. Can you do that?¡¯ Yu Chen agreed decisively. ¡®Ah, no problem. Hurry up and don¡¯t waste my time.¡¯ A curse mark appeared in his mind, and Yu Chen¡¯s expression was a little shocked. Yu Chen¡¯s eyelids twitched as he questioned, ¡®Hey! Old man, are you serious?¡¯ The curse mark was extremely complicated. It was like a scribble, and there were too many strokes. Moreover, there must not be a mistake. If he wanted to engrave it completely on the silver chain without sight, he first needed to be familiar with the curse seal which would take an extremely long time. This was because engraving a mark not only required blood, but also incomparably huge mental strength. Blood Demon said, ¡®Don¡¯t you want to get out of here? Think about it. You still have such a long sentence to serve.¡¯ ¡®Although you can live until then, the you who will be released will definitely be a shell which is neither human nor ghost!¡¯ Yu Chen complained, ¡®As I am right now, I¡¯m not even a human anymore.¡¯ Chapter 35 - Turns Out Xi Ling Is A Super Support Chapter 35 Turns Out Xi Ling Is A Super Support To complete the Blood Demon¡¯s quest. To help the Blood Demon escape. Yu Chen¡¯s main body was fighting wave after wave of monsters in the Heavenly Prison while familiarizing himself with the curse mark A week later, Yu Chen began to use his blood to carve the curse mark on the silver chain. Unfortunately, engraving the curse mark consumed too much of his mental strength. Yu Chen would feel dizzy for every centimeter that he carved, and he would have no choice but to sit cross-legged to rest. en In-between recovering his mental strength, Yu Chen began to cultivate. Just like that, Yu Chen¡¯s life in the Heavenly Prison became fulfilling. Gradually, the passage of time became more and more difficult for Yu Chen to sense. Today, the two superpowers: Jiguang Sect and the Hunyuan Sect were having a friendly martial arts competition. Both sides would send out several juniors to fight one on one. The winner advanced and the loser was eliminated. It was said that after the competition, both sects would reward individuals and teams according to their rankings. Therefore, many people from both sects were paying attention to the competition. In a certain grand square in the Hunyuan Sect, the two sects welcomed the finals. On one side was a two-person team formed by the Immortal and Saint of the Hunyuan Sect. On the other side was a three-person team made up of the last disciple of the Jiguang Sect¡¯s Sect Master. In the Jiguang Sect, there was no such thing as a Saint or Immortal. They advocated spreading the mental cultivation technique as much as possible. Therefore, all the outer sect disciples could obtain all the Aurora Mental Cultivation Technique. The only difference in treatment was in the allocation of resources. The higher one¡¯s status was, the more resources they would receive. At that moment, the place was buzzing. Xi Ling sat on her own seat, glancing out of the corner of her eye at Yu Chen who was sitting on the chair beside her. At this moment, Yu Chen was still expressionless, like a lifeless puppet. Last time, Yu Chen had specially gone to look for Xi Ling and explained everything clearly. Xi Ling now knew Yu Chen¡¯s true identity. But she still agreed to Yu Chen¡¯s request. Which was: Take care of this avatar. Because of his work in the Heavenly Prison, Yu Chen was not allowed to be distracted to control his avatar. Therefore, the avatar became a soulless puppet. Xi Ling had been shocked at the time. She did not expect that Yu Chen, who had defeated all the Saints and Saintesses, was only an avatar. It was no wonder that the Grand Elder of the Hunyuan Sect gave the position of Immortal to Xi Ling because Yu Chen and Wang Yun did not get along The Hunyuan Sect was trying their best to keep Yu Chen. Unfortunately, Xi Ling thought that this was somewhat ridiculous. If the Hunyuan Sect knew that the genius they were trying their best to keep actually cultivated the Blood Demon Technique, what would they do? At that time, what kind of expressions would the various hall masters, sect masters, and even the Grand Elders make? Interesting ¡­ very interesting. But Xi Ling didn¡¯t betray Yu Chen. After all, Yu Chen¡¯s avatar was too useful. If he was told to go to the west, he would not go to the east. He was extremely obedient and did his best without any nonsense. He was simply super useful. At this moment, an old man in a Daoist robe came to Xi Ling¡¯s side and whispered, ¡°Immortal, your suggestion was not accepted by the Sect Master.¡± Xi Ling frowned. ¡°What?¡± Panic gripped her. She was at a loss. Last time, she had told Yu Chen that she wanted to become the Immortal to save her homeland. Therefore, she recommended a certain policy to the sect master. Even if it was not fully implemented, there should at least be an experimental area. Xi Ling had selected her homeland to be the experimental area. However, the sect master actually rejected it? The old man continued, ¡°That¡¯s right. The Sect Master said that the resources collected by that empire were to be given to the Jiguang Sect as a gift¡­¡± Recently, the higher-ups of the Hunyuan Sect have been asking the Jiguang Sect for help, so they had promised to hand over all the resources collected by a certain empire to the Jiguang Sect. Xi Ling¡¯s mood instantly soured. Her face darkened as she looked at the Jiguang Sect Master¡¯s final disciple who was provoking her on the stage. ¡°Chen Yu, it¡¯s our turn.¡± Xi Ling turned back and spoke to Yu Chen. Yu Chen¡¯s eyes lit up. Then, he slowly raised his head and looked calmly at the stage. In an instant, the last disciples of the Jiguang Sect felt as if they had been targeted by a powerful beast. Their gazes locked onto Yu Chen, and their eyelids twitched in shock. Good God, this person¡­ This person¡¯s body carried such a dense spiritual energy fluctuation. What a powerful aura¡­ They had only felt this suffocating pressure from a full-fledged fourth realm cultivator. Gulp ¨C They couldn¡¯t help but swallow, feeling a little afraid. However, in the next second, Yu Chen and Xi Ling jumped into the arena. Yu Chen stood behind the Xi Ling expressionlessly, his eyes fixed on the enemy. It was as if he would rush into the crowd and kill them if Xi Ling gave the order. Seeing that both sides were in position, the Jiguang Sect¡¯s Adjudicator Elder announced, ¡°The cultivators of both sides have gone on stage. The competition¡­ begins.¡± ¡®Chen Yu, use the same D-rank tactics as before.¡¯ Xi Ling spoke telepathically to Yu Chen. Without hesitation, Yu Chen appeared in front of Xi Ling. Xi Ling raised her hand, her tender lips moving as she whispered, ¡°Talent Skill ¨C God of War¡¯s Light.¡± The red light shone on Yu Chen, and his body cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, directly doubling. ¡°Talent Skill ¨C Spirit God¡¯s Gift.¡± The blue light shone again, and Yu Chen¡¯s spiritual power cultivation began to expand. In the end, the upper limit of his spiritual power expanded to over three times. ¡°Talent Skill ¨C Speed God¡¯s Principle.¡± ¡°Talent Skill ¨C Psionic Shield¡­¡± After applying four buffs to Yu Chen, Xi Ling took a deep breath and instructed, ¡°Alright, next¡­ as long as you don¡¯t hurt their lives, it¡¯ll be fine.¡± After hearing this, Yu Chen immediately used the Primordial Chaos Art to transform his spiritual power and physical cultivation. Facing the pressure brought by Yu Chen, the three opponents also began to set up formations. ¡°Aurora Shield!¡± ¡°Aurora Shield!¡± ¡°Aurora Shield!¡± The three Aurora Shields combined and aimed at Yu Chen. In the next moment, Yu Chen appeared in front of the Aurora Shield. He raised his hand calmly and waved it. A deafening sound came from the Aurora Shield. Crack ~ Bang! The first Aurora Shield shattered. Yu Chen did not stop at all. In less than two seconds, he swung three punches and broke all three Aurora Shields. Then, Yu Chen appeared behind one of them and kicked him. Before the person could react, he realized that he was already far away from the arena. The one-sided competition shocked the Hunyuan Sect disciples, and they all shouted. Before long, all three opponents were dealt with. Wordlessly, Yu Chen returned to Xi Ling¡¯s side. He stood as still as a puppet. Everyone also noticed this abnormality and started whispering. ¡°Why does Saint Chen Yu look so strange?¡± ¡°Haven¡¯t you heard? Recently, Saint Chen Yu has been obedient to Xi Ling. He seems to want to be her lackey like Wang Yun.¡± ¡°Tsk tsk, in my opinion, Saint Chen Yu is so strong. He doesn¡¯t need to be a bootlicker at all.¡± ¡°Who knows? The psychology of those big shots is not something we can guess.¡± Chapter 36 - So Thats How It Is Chapter 36 So That¡¯s How It Is Wang Yun watched from the crowd as Yu Chen and Xi Ling¡¯s combination won cheers. He felt very upset. Not long after Xi Ling became the Immortal, Yu Chen often appeared by Xi Ling¡¯s side. re As a result, Wang Yun had no chance to come into contact with Xi Ling at all. The plan that he thought was about to succeed had to be terminated. Except¡­ Things weren¡¯t over yet. Since Yu Chen was not the Immortal, things became simpler. Xi Ling was just a support-type Talent Tree. She would eventually be alone. At that time, Wang Yun would be able to find an opportunity¡­ More than a month after the engraving began. Yu Chen, who was sitting cross-legged, trembled. An even stronger aura broke out of his body. His Primordial Chaos Art had reached the second level of the third realm! As his cultivation level increased, Yu Chen obtained a new talent point. Yu Chen had already studied all the contents of the Talent Tree. The strongest among the talents was not the talent itself, but its level. Even if it was a useless talent, as long as it was raised to the max, it would have a very terrifying effect. ¡°The level of ¡®Calm and composed¡¯ is enough. Then let¡¯s light the talent to increase mental strength.¡± A talent that helped Yu Chen increase his mental strength could allow Yu Chen to complete the Blood Demon¡¯s mission faster. At that time, Yu Chen would not have to waste time here. Besides, perhaps the prison guards had long realized that Yu Chen was resisting the monster. The monsters also could no longer do anything to Yu Chen. For several times now, Yu Chen had to repel ten waves of monsters before he was injured by them. Perhaps it would not be long before Yu Chen was transferred to another prison again. At the thought of this, Yu Chen was actually a little excited. Staying in this darkness all day was about to drive Yu Chen crazy. If not for his ¡®Calm and composed¡¯, Yu Chen would definitely have gone crazy. (Power of Vitality ¨C Low-grade: Mental strength doubled.] The increase in his mental strength made Yu Chen¡¯s perception more sensitive. Then¡­ the next step was to continue engraving the curse mark. In the second year of Yu Chen¡¯s imprisonment. At this moment, Yu Chen had already stepped into the third realm level ten. Yu Chen had also raised the ¡®Power of Vitality¡¯ talent to divine-grade. Just like the ¡®Strength God¡¯, divine-grade ¡®Power of Vitality¡¯ could also increase mental strength by a thousand times. The curse mark was finally completed by Yu Chen. Yu Chen called out to the Blood Demon in his heart, ¡®The curse mark has been engraved. What should I do next?¡¯ The Blood Demon said, ¡®The curse seal can only affect the strength of one barrier. I can¡¯t escape through the curse mark yet.¡¯ ¡®You stay away from the silver chain now. Then resist as many monsters as you can.¡¯ ¡®When the time comes, they will send you to the sixth floor of the Heavenly Prison. There will also be things that I need you to do over there.¡¯ At the Blood Demon¡¯s request, Yu Chen moved away from the silver chain, then groped in the dark to the huge iron door. Taking the advantage when the monster had not attacked him, Yu Chen clenched the iron door with both hands. The last time Yu Chen conducted an experiment to see if he could open the iron door was when he was at the tenth level of the second realm. Now, Yu Chen was already at the tenth level of the third realm. The terrifying difference in cultivation gave Yu Chen great confidence. Unfortunately¡­ The steel door was the same as before. Perhaps the Blood Demon had been monitoring Yu Chen¡¯s movements, so its voice reached his ears. The Blood Demon said, ¡®Don¡¯t waste your energy.¡¯ ¡®This door becomes stronger when it¡¯s against the strong and weak when it¡¯s against the weak. Even a fifth-realm cultivator can¡¯t open it, let alone you.¡¯ ¡®Besides, you can¡¯t possibly think that you have extraordinary strength just because you have the ¡®Strength God¡¯ talent, can you?¡¯ ¡®To tell you the truth, you¡¯re still a bit green.¡¯ ¡®The ¡®Strength God¡¯ talent increases the multiplier of your strength, but it does not increase the foundation of your strength.¡¯ ¡®If you want to open the iron cage, you need to have more than ten thousand times the strength of cultivators of the same level as you.¡¯ ¡®Let me make this easier to understand. Your original strength is ten. After the ¡®Strength God¡¯ increased it by a thousand times, your strength has become ten thousand.¡¯ ¡®And if you want to open the iron cage, you need to increase your basic strength from ten to a hundred.¡¯ ¡®Do you understand what I¡¯m saying?¡¯ Yu Chen¡¯s heart skipped a beat at the Blood Demon¡¯s words. That¡¯s right! This was like an online game. The current Yu Chen had such a high increase in strength. Although the increase in his strength looked terrifying, his original strength was not ideal. If another cultivator who cultivated the strength cultivation method awakened the ¡®Strength God¡¯ talent, the effect would definitely be many times greater than Yu Chen¡¯s. Yu Chen¡¯s base strength was ten. A thousand times ten was 10,000. If Yuchen thought of a way to increase his strength base to 100, the ¡®Strength God¡¯ could increase Yu Chen¡¯s strength to 100,000. This was probably the reason why he had obtained such a terrifying increase in strength after climbing the Heavenly Staircase. ¡®I¡¯ve found the reason. It seems that when I¡¯m free, I need to get Xi Ling to help me to specially cultivate my physical cultivation in the Heavenly Staircase.¡¯ Yu Chen thought to himself and turned around to punch again. ¡°Awoo¡­¡± The monster¡¯s scream was rather loud, directly attracting the attention of the prison guard outside the iron door. The prison guard stared coldly into the darkness and said, ¡°Loathsome prisoner. No matter how many monsters you defeat, they will keep coming until they tear you apart.¡± What happened next, however, shocked him. The sound of densely packed fists and feet came from the darkness, followed by the painful roars of many monsters. ¡°What on earth?¡± The prison guard felt a chill. Ordinary prisoners could only withstand a few waves of monster attacks, but this person¡­ No¡­ it had to be an illusion. Maybe it was a coincidence. When the prisoner ran out of power, it would be time for him to be quietly tortured. However, as time passed, Yu Chen did not fall again even after defeating dozens of waves of monsters. Yu Chen stretched his body. A popping sound came from his joints. ¡°These monsters don¡¯t look like they can hurt me anymore.¡± ¡°Hey, are there any stronger monsters? Come play with me.¡± His voice was hoarse, like a beast¡¯s growl. The prison guard swallowed and instinctively moved away from the steel door. The next second, a hand suddenly poked out of the metal door. Due to the long period of darkness, his skin had become extremely pale and lifeless. However, the very obvious muscle lines on the arm proved that the owner of the arm still had strength. The prison guard stared at the arm in horror. He covered his mouth with his hand to stop himself from throwing up. As Yu Chen¡¯s flesh had been torn open by the monster for a long time, there was no longer a piece of unscathed flesh on his body. His pale skin was crisscrossed with many hideous wounds that could not be healed. It was like a part of a malicious ghost¡¯s body, making one shudder. The prison guard could no longer stand it. He turned slowly and ran outside. Behind him, Yu Chen instructed, ¡°Hey, report the situation here to your superior. Tell him that someone is dissatisfied with the intensity of the punishment and wants to transfer to another cage!¡± When the prison guard heard Yu Chen¡¯s voice, he fled even faster due to fear. Chapter 37 - Wont Submit to Evil Forces Chapter 37 Won¡¯t Submit to Evil Forces Shortly thereafter, Yu Chen was brought out of the fifth floor of the prison. Seeing light, Yu Chen narrowed his eyes and tried to adapt to the light. ¡°Name: Yu Chen Gender: Male Age: Eighteen Identity: Core disciple of the Hunyuan Sect Crime: Stole the Authentic Mental Cultivation Technique from the Hunyuan Sect.¡± ¡°Yu Chen, you threatened a prison guard. You deserve to die. Ten years will be added to your sentence. Do you have any objections?¡± During the interrogation, Yu Chen, whose skin was pale and covered in wounds, looked at the other party disdainfully through his long hair. He said nothing, nor did he defend himself. He only used his gaze to express his thoughts. It was a look of determination that would never yield to an evil force, even after countless years in prison. Hunyuan Sect. ¡°Have all the resources collected from the Empire been sent to the Jiguang Sect?¡± Xi Ling stood with her hands clasped behind her back as she faced the Elder in charge, her tone calm as she inquired. Her expression was unusually calm and unreadable. Perhaps only Yu Chen¡¯s avatar standing beside her knew of the anger in her heart. The elder lowered his head respectfully. ¡°Immortal, that is indeed the case.¡± ¡°But¡­ the Jiguang Sect and our sect have reached an agreement¡­¡± ¡°Your plan may not be able to be implemented for decades to come.¡± Without a word, Xi Ling turned around and left with Yu Chen. She felt strangely angry and powerless. She would never have thought that even as the Immortal, she still could not influence the Hunyuan Sect. Perhaps, becoming the Immortal had only brought some nominal benefits to Xi Ling. She was still unable to participate in the sect¡¯s resource allocation and some major decisions. Why¡­? They had clearly agreed that the Immortal would be the future Sect Master. In that case, the Hunyuan Sect should have nurtured her as the sect master and let her know everything. But other than a title, she was no different from a Saintess. After enduring for so long, she had finally climbed to an admirable height. Unfortunately, she still couldn¡¯t achieve her wish. Passing by Yu Chen¡¯s floating island, Xi Ling stopped midair and looked down at Yu Chen¡¯s residence. She asked curiously, ¡°Brother Chen, the spiritual power in the mountain is clearly denser. Why did you choose the floating island? Is there a meaning to this?¡± Despite knowing that Yu Chen would not answer, Xi Ling still could not help but ask. Before Yu Chen returned to the Hunyuan Sect, she only had one friend, Huo Miao¡¯er. Facing the people from the Hunyuan Sect all day, she tried her best to hide her personality. She couldn¡¯t tell the difference between reality and a dream after such a long period of repression. Moreover, after she became the Immortal with Yu Chen¡¯s help, she still couldn¡¯t change the Hunyuan Sect¡¯s oppression of her hometown. That made Xi Ling begin to doubt herself. Yu Chen¡¯s expression was still as cold as a corpse. ¡°Sigh¡­¡± Looking at Yu Chen¡¯s floating island again, Xi Ling instructed Yu Chen who was standing behind her, ¡°Brother Chen, you should go back first. We¡¯ll talk about other things tomorrow.¡± When Yu Chen¡¯s avatar heard this, he descended from the sky and entered the house like a zombie. ¡°Perhaps my method couldn¡¯t change the Hunyuan Sect?¡± ¡°Am I doing things the wrong way¡­?¡± ¡°Can anyone tell me what exactly I should do?¡± On the sixth floor of the Heavenly Prison. Finally, there was light here. There was also more freedom here. But¡­ the punishment was worse. The punishment here is a combination of several punishments. The morning was as cold as the Frozen Hell. At noon, the heat was like the Melted Steel Purgatory. In the afternoon, lightning continuously fell from the sky. These lightning bolts would not kill the prisoners, but would try their best to kill them. At midnight, darkness would fall. You wouldn¡¯t be able to see your hand in front of your face. Monsters would appear. The cultivators here were tortured until their faces were pale. They were like soulless zombies. It was early morning when Yu Chen first arrived. Raising his arm to block the blood-red light falling from the sky, Yu Chen thought, ¡®Not bad.¡¯ The cold was a common occurrence for Yu Chen. Not to mention the heat. Yu Chen was directly immune to it. It was just that Yu Chen had to be cautious of the lightning in the afternoon. As for the monsters of the night, Yu Chen had no intention of letting them find him. Instead, he planned to find them. According to the Blood Demon¡¯s description, this was the sixth floor of the Heavenly Prison. Many monster beasts were raised on the sixth floor. One of them was a huge Flood Dragon, which was one of the core of the numerous array formations that sealed the Blood Demon. The Blood Demon was trapped in thousands of array formations. The Flood Dragon was only the core of one of the array formations. What Yu Chen needed to do was to kill the Flood Dragon. Unfortunately, the Flood Dragon was a fifth realm level ten monster beast, and its bloodline was extraordinary. Its combat strength was comparable to a sixth realm cultivator. However, Yu Chen was not afraid at all. This was because in order to inflict utmost suffering to the prisoners , the monster beasts in this cage had been set up to be very cruel. That was, no matter what, the monster beasts here would not kill the prisoners. If the monster beasts wouldn¡¯t kill the prisoners, then there was a possibility that Yu Chen could exhaust the Flood Dragon to death. He had the Blood Demon Mental Cultivation Technique, so injuries had no effect against him. And pain was child¡¯s play to Yu Chen. Yu Chen had already endured too much physical pain. At this moment, Yu Chen was no longer afraid of any physical pain. Stepping into the sixth floor of the Heavenly Prison, Yu Chen quickly encountered a fellow cultivator who was imprisoned. This was a fourth realm cultivator. He was curled up in a corner, his arms wrapped around his knees. He begged in a low, trembling voice, ¡°Don¡¯t¡­ don¡¯t come over. I won¡¯t dare steal again. I won¡¯t dare again.¡± ¡°Let me out. I don¡¯t belong here. This is hell. Don¡¯t hurt me anymore¡­ I¡­ I have repented¡­¡± Yu Chen ignored him and continued walking forward, wanting to find the Monster Beast King, the Flood Dragon. His efforts paid off. As lightning began to strike in the sky, Yu Chen found it. The Flood Dragon flew in the sky. Its body was thousands of meters long, like a huge mountain. Being provoked by Yu Chen, the Flood Dragon lowered its head slightly and looked down at the tiny Yu Chen. ¡°Hahaha! Weak human cultivator, you actually dare to provoke me with your mere third realm cultivation?¡± The Flood Dragon¡¯s mocking laughter spread throughout the entire cage. Many prisoners looked at the Flood Dragon in the sky in fear and judged Yu Chen in their hearts. ¡®Who is so bold as to provoke the Flood Dragon in this cage?¡¯ ¡®If the Flood Dragon is angry, we¡¯ll be implicated as well. What an annoying newcomer! ¡®Hehe, another reckless newcomer?¡¯ Yu Chen smiled and looked up at the huge creature. ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s quite big. I wonder if it can withstand beatings.¡± Roar ~ The Flood Dragon swooped down at Yu Chen. Its body kept shrinking until it finally transformed into a human. It turned into middle-aged man with two dragon horns on his forehead. He raised his head arrogantly. ¡°Kneel down and kowtow to me. I can be gentler. Otherwise¡­¡± ¡°Otherwise, you will be tortured by me for an entire day!¡± Yu Chen smiled numbly. ¡°All day? Hahahaha¡­ I hope you don¡¯t give up halfway, little worm.¡± He had already decided that no matter how much time it took, he would kill the Flood Dragon here. Chapter 38 - The Flood Dragon: "The Human World Is Very Beautiful. I Wont Come Chapter 38 The Flood Dragon: ¡°The Human World Is Very Beautiful. I Won¡¯t Come Again.¡± The battle between Yu Chen and the Flood Dragon began. Facing the Flood Dragon in human form, Yu Chen had no strength to fight back at all. However, after confirming that the Flood Dragon would not kill him, Yu Chen became bolder. He only attacked and did not defend. He tried his best to injure the Flood Dragon. ¡°Hmph¡­¡± The Flood Dragon¡¯s face darkened. He rubbed his sore arm and frowned at the human in front of him. This human was very unusual. He had an aura that no other human had. Soon, an hour passed. Seeing the injured Yu Chen stand up again, the Flood Dragon couldn¡¯t help but sneer, ¡°It¡¯s useless. No matter how many times you stand up, I will defeat you again.¡± Yu Chen chuckled. ¡°You¡­ can¡¯t kill me¡­ can you?¡± The Flood Dragon frowned and had a bad feeling. Yu Chen said, ¡°Answer me, little worm!¡± The Flood Dragon clenched his fists and charged at Yu Chen. Four hours passed. The Flood Dragon roared violently, ¡°I¡¯ve already said that no matter how many times you stand up, I will defeat you!¡± This human had actually recovered from his near-death state numerous times and stood up to attack him. This was so weird¡­ Was this human a robot? Yu Chen sneered and did not say anything. He continued to attack and exchanged injuries for injuries. He did not defend himself. Their battle had leveled a mountain. The Flood Dragon would suppress Yu Chen and beat him up. However, Yu Chen would occasionally retaliate with a few punches. Although it was not enough to injure the Flood Dragon, it was painful and numbing, making the Flood Dragon very unhappy. How could such a human exist? Soon ¨C an entire day ¨C twenty-four hours passed. The Flood Dragon struck Yu Chen into the ground again. It panted and thought to itself, ¡®This human should be obedient now, right?¡¯ However, in the pit, Yu Chen¡¯s body was once again repaired by the Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique. After slightly recovering his spiritual power, Yu Chen gritted his teeth and stood up, walking to the Flood Dragon again. The Flood Dragon: ¡°¡­¡± This time, the Flood Dragon remained silent and only attacked Yu Chen. The second day. The Flood Dragon panted heavily as the spiritual energy in its body dissipated bit by bit. However, Yu Chen stood up again. The Flood Dragon frowned and roared, ¡°You human! What is wrong with you?!¡± The third day¡­ The Flood Dragon half-knelt on the ground. If not for its astonishing willpower, it would have fainted long ago. The severe overuse of its spiritual power had already made it unable to launch an effective attack on Yu Chen. Yu Chen slowly stood up, patted the dust off his body, and sneered at the Flood Dragon. The Flood Dragon¡¯s heart skipped a beat and it subconsciously swallowed its saliva. The fourth day. The Flood Dragon leaned against the mountain, its eyes lifeless. ¡°Cough, cough¡­¡± Yu Chen coughed painfully. The tenacious Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique had once again healed his injuries. Standing up again, Yu Chen took a step forward and continued to attack the Flood Dragon. The Flood Dragon took a deep breath and cursed, ¡°Lunatic! Lunatic!!! What did I do to you? How dare you pester me like this!¡± The fifth day. The Flood Dragon said, ¡°Big brother¡­ let me go.¡± The sixth day. Flood Dragon: ¡°Spare me¡­ Hero¡­¡± The seventh day. Flood Dragon: ¡°Brave Hero, can we talk nicely?¡± The eighth day. The Flood Dragon: ¡°¡­¡± The ninth day. Yu Chen stood up shakily and approached the Flood Dragon who had already transformed into his true form. He said coldly, ¡°Get up and fight!¡± The Flood Dragon shed hundreds of kilograms of dragon tears and subconsciously stirred. It did not have the strength to answer Yu Chen. Boom ~ Yu Chen punched out, and the Flood Dragon¡¯s head tilted. Boom ¨C After the second punch, the Flood Dragon still did not react. Although it was in a pitiful state, it was not injured. Boom! Boom! Boom! However, Yu Chen refused to give up and continued to attack the Flood Dragon. The tenth day. Blood was flowing out of the Flood Dragon¡¯s head. The eleventh day. The other prisoners were dumbfounded. They exchanged messages and knew that someone was fighting the Flood Dragon. Moreover, the fight had been going on for eleven days. Words had it that a third realm level ten cultivator was relentlessly chasing and fiercely attacking a fifth realm level ten Flood Dragon. This excited the prisoners. ¡°Even a third realm cultivator can muster up the courage to resist demons. Why are we sighing in despair over here?!¡± ¡°For a long time now, it has always been the monsters attacking us. This time, we have to behead the monster king and vent our anger!¡± Soon, many cultivators rushed over after hearing the news. Seeing Yu Chen¡¯s frenzied state, they were first shocked before they finally started speaking ¡°Fellow Daoist! i¡¯ll help you!¡± ¡°Kill the Flood Dragon! Eat dragon meat!¡± The Flood Dragon opened its eyes with all its might and looked at Yu Chen. It asked in a trembling voice, ¡°Warrior, I only have one question. Can you tell me what kind of grudge do you hold against me?¡± Yu Chen responded with a cold smile and ignored it. He continued to punch its head. The flood dragon continued, ¡°I¡­ No, what have I done to make you dissatisfied? I¡­ I¡¯ll change, alright?¡± ¡°Wu Wu Wu Wu-¡° Just like that, the Flood Dragon began to cry in despair. Unfortunately, no one showed it any mercy. Under everyone¡¯s punches and kicks, the Flood Dragon¡¯s huge body collapsed. A group of cultivators dressed like evil spirits climbed onto the Flood Dragon¡¯s body and cheered. Some hungry cultivators had already begun to burrow into the Flood Dragon¡¯s body and eat its flesh. The Blood Demon¡¯s voice reached Yu Chen¡¯s ears. ¡®Well done.¡¯ Yu Chen looked at the prisoners who were partying and sat down cross-legged to use the Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique to recover. At the same time, he asked the Blood Demon, ¡®What should we do next?¡¯ The Blood Demon said, ¡®If you want me to escape, you have to destroy the cores of at least eighteen arrays. You only destroyed two.¡¯ ¡®Now, what you need to do is get to the seventh floor.¡¯ Yu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. ¡°The Flood Dragon is dead. They definitely will come for me.¡¯ ¡°Name: Yu Chen Gender: Male Age: Eighteen Identity: Core disciple of the Hunyuan Sect Crime: Stole the Authentic Mental Cultivation Technique from the Hunyuan Sect.¡± ¡°Yu Chen, you took the lead in killing the sixth floor¡¯s monster king and destroying a portion of the prison. Now, 1000 years will be added to your sentence. Do you have any objections?¡± The seventh floor. The Blood Demon said, ¡®On the seventh floor, there¡¯s a sword formation. The entire sword formation is the core of the formation. Destroying the sword formation is enough.¡¯ The sword formation was originally used to torture fifth realm cultivators. In the end, Yu Chen became a regular customer there. His cultivation level was low, so he could only slowly figure out the principle of the sword formation step by step. Three years later. Yu Chen broke through to the first level of the fourth realm. Two years later, Yu Chen¡¯s Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique broke through to the first level of the fourth realm. Another year later¡­ the array was broken! ¡°Name: Yu Chen Gender: Male Age: Eighteen Identity: Core disciple of the Hunyuan Sec Crime: Stole the Authentic Mental Cultivation Technique from the Hunyuan Sect.¡± ¡°Yu Chen, you destroyed the sword formation. Now, 1000 years will be added to your sentence. You will be sent to the eighth floor of the Heavenly Prison. Do you have any objections?¡± The Blood Demon said, ¡®Yu Chen, you¡¯re now a fourth realm cultivator.¡± ¡®The environment on the eighth floor is relatively better for cultivating. You can break through to the fifth realm on the eighth floor.¡¯ This time I¡¯ll give you¡­ 100 years.¡¯ Chapter 39 - You Just Havent Seen My Main Body Chapter 39 You Just Haven¡¯t Seen My Main Body Outside the Heavenly Prison, in Xi Ling¡¯s homeland. ¡°Such a dreary country.¡± What Yu Chen saw made him think that he had returned to the countryside in the nineteenth century. There was no one to clear the trash by the roadside, and the pedestrians looked nervous. When they saw the clean-clothed Xi Ling and Yu Chen, they trembled in fear. Some even turned around and ran¡­ When Xi Ling heard Yu Chen¡¯s voice, she immediately asked, ¡°Have you finished dealing with the main body¡¯s matter?¡± It had been several years since Yu Chen had entrusted her with his avatar. This was the first time Yu Chen had spoken. Clearly, Yu Chen¡¯s main consciousness had returned. Yu Chen nodded. ¡°Yes, the problem is resolved for now.¡± Yu Chen¡¯s main body was currently cultivating on the seventh floor of the Heavenly Prison, so Yu Chen could transfer his consciousness into his avatar. Yu Chen said, ¡°How¡¯s your situation?¡± ¡°I thought once you became the Immortal, you could protect your homeland.¡± ¡°Eh?¡± Yu Chen lowered his head and saw that he was dressed in clean white clothes. He was stunned at first, then asked automatically, ¡°Who changed my clothes?¡± ¡°Ahem¡­¡± Xi Ling sighed. From an angle that Yu Chen could not see, a hint of redness appeared on her pretty face. Xi Ling couldn¡¯t help but complain, ¡°Seriously, you rashly entrusted yourself to a girl.¡± ¡°These days, I feel like I¡¯m raising a child.¡± When Yu Chen was dirty, Xi Ling needed to prepare him a hot bath. When his clothes were dirty, she needed to remind him about it. Even when he was hungry, he needed her to take him to eat. The avatar was simply a person who could not do anything apart from listening to Xi Ling¡¯s order. These days, Xi Ling even wondered if Yu Chen was the child she had given birth to¡­ Of course, Xi Ling did not say these words to his face. Otherwise, who knew if Yu Chen would get angry? ¡°Hahaha- There¡¯s nothing we can do about that.¡± Yu Chen suddenly smiled and said, ¡°Thank you for taking care of me, Lady Immortal.¡± Xi Ling shrugged. ¡°No problem. After all, it¡¯s thanks to you that I could become the Immortal. Besides, I¡¯m not used to you being like this.¡± Yu Chen raised his hand to his chin. ¡°Oh? Then just act like you usually do.¡± Xi Ling didn¡¯t bother with pleasantries. ¡°Of course, Little Brother Chen.¡± ¡°Huh? Little Brother Chen?¡± Yu Chen was stunned. Yu Chen said, ¡°Is that what you call me? You have to know that I¡¯m already twenty-four years old.¡± Counting his previous life, he was nearly fifty years old. And he was still called a little brother? Xi Ling smiled faintly and said something that shocked Yu Chen. ¡°Actually, I¡¯m over a hundred years old.¡± Yu Chen was speechless. Seeing how naive Yu Chen was, Xi Ling thought that he was disgusted by how old she was. Xi Ling then explained, ¡°Don¡¯t¡­ don¡¯t get me wrong. Most of my time is spent in cultivation.¡± ¡°Besides, for a fourth realm cultivator, 100 years old is not even a young girl yet, right?¡± A fourth realm cultivator could live for 10,000 years. 100 years was only one percent the lifespan of ordinary people ¨C if we consider ordinary people to have a lifespan of 100 years. To ordinary people, Xi Ling was only a one-year-old baby. Ahem. Of course, that was just a figure of speech. Among fourth realm cultivators, even 2000 years old was considered young, let alone 100 years old. Yu Chen quickly accepted this setting. ¡°Okay.¡± Sensing the majestic power from Yu Chen¡¯s body, Xi Ling couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°After all, not everyone is as talented as you.¡± ¡°You¡¯re the first fourth realm cultivator in your twenties since ancient times.¡± ¡°Your progress is considered genius even in myths and legends.¡± ¡°Uh¡­¡± Yu Chen scratched his head, not knowing how to explain. He couldn¡¯t say that he had the ability to choose Talents, could he? It was too appalling. Therefore, Yu Chen changed the topic. ¡°How¡¯s your plan going?¡± At the mention of this, Xi Ling looked disappointed. ¡°I¡­ have done some investigation.¡± ¡°Although I¡¯m officially the Immortal, many higher-ups still think of me as a Saintess.¡± ¡°Hence they wouldn¡¯t even consider some of the suggestions that I have made.¡± Yu Chen said in surprise, ¡°Huh? That¡¯s a pity.¡± She was clearly only one step away from saving her homeland from suffering. Unfortunately, she was being treated like this. Normally, the status of the Immortal was on par with the Sect Master. Unfortunately, Xi Ling was not treated well. What was the reason? Xi Ling clenched her fists and said in frustration, ¡°Why, of all the Talent Tree that I could have awakened, I have to awaken a tree with support-type talent skill?¡± At this moment, she held a huge grudge against her Talent Tree. If she had an offensive-type Talent Tree, she would not be treated like this. Xi Ling had gotten to the bottom of everything. The only reason she was being treated like this was because her Talent Tree was a support-type. Although the support-type Talent Tree was relatively popular, no one would nurture the user as a sect master. Even the Hunyuan Sect wouldn¡¯t do such a thing. The only reason why Xi Ling became the Immortal was because of Yu Chen. ¡°Damn it¡­¡± The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She wanted to destroy her cultivation on the spot and redo it from the beginning. Unfortunately, she was already over a hundred years old. Without the support of her cultivation, she would have aged into a skeleton the moment she destroyed her cultivation. ¡°Actually, there¡¯s no need for you to hate your Talent Tree.¡± Yu Chen couldn¡¯t help but comfort her. ¡°After all, talent is bound to be useful. Perhaps this is just a tribulation from the heavens.¡± ¡°As the saying goes, when Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a great man, it always first exhausts his muscles and bones¡­¡± Xi Ling looked at Yu Chen in surprise, her tender lips slightly open in disbelief. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be so good at comforting people when you¡¯re so miserable yourself.¡± Xi Ling knew about Yu Chen¡¯s situation. She knew that Yu Chen had been framed by Wang Yun and thus sent to prison. Everyone knew what kind of place the Heavenly Prison was. In that, life was worse than death. After all, the Heavenly Prison had the title of ¡®World-weary¡¯. Xi Ling couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°It¡¯s so rare to find a cultivator like you, who can still be so rational even after experiencing the Heavenly Prison.¡± The cultivators who came out of the Heavenly Prison were usually crazy. None of them were like humans. Yu Chen said calmly, ¡°You just haven¡¯t seen my main body.¡± The reason why the avatar was so rational was that the prison had little effect on it. ¡°What are you doing here, anyway?¡± Yu Chen changed the subject. Xi Ling sighed. ¡°I want to do something for my homeland, too.¡± Under the rule of the Hunyuan Sect, competition between empires was allowed. And Xi Ling¡¯s homeland was about to be swallowed up by another empire. If a country lost its sovereignty, would it still be a country? Therefore, Xi Ling received an invitation to assist her empire. ¡°Interesting. The Hunyuan Sect knows your identity, but they still treat your homeland this way. Aren¡¯t they afraid that you¡¯ll rebel?¡± Yu Chen spoke with amazement. Xi Ling gave a very desperate answer. ¡°I only have a support-type Talent Tree. Even if I rebel, what threat can I pose?¡± Yu Chen was speechless. That made sense. Chapter 40 - Everything Will Be Fine Chapter 40 Everything Will Be Fine Yu Chen¡¯s consciousness did not stay in the avatar for long. To reach the highest cultivation speed, Yu Chen still needed to focus on cultivating. His consciousness returned to his main body in the Heavenly Prison. Yu Chen, who was on the seventh floor of the Sky Prison, sat cross-legged in a corner and began to cultivate. Days passed, years passed . In the first year, Yu Chen¡¯s Primordial Chaos Art broke through to the fourth level of the fourth realm. Outside, Xi Ling was doing her best to save her homeland from the crisis. In the second year, Yu Chen¡¯s Primordial Chaos Art broke through to the eighth level of the fourth realm. Outside, Xi Ling once again proposed her plan to the higher-ups of the Hunyuan Sect. It was once again rejected. In the third year, Yu Chen¡¯s Primordial Chaos Art broke through to the tenth level of the fourth realm. Due to him lacking the next cultivation method of the Primordial Chaos Art, Yu Chen had no choice but to start cultivating the Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique. Hunyuan Sect, Xi Ling¡¯s residence. Yu Chen¡¯s dull eyes regained some clarity. moon wa It was nighttime. The moon was shining in the sky. Xi Ling stood alone in the darkness, facing the cold wind. She was looking down at the bustling Hunyuan Sect below. Yu Chen walked out of his residence and saw such a scene. ¡°How¡¯s the situation?¡± Yu Chen stared at Xi Ling¡¯s beautiful back and could not help but ask. Another three years had passed. He wondered if she had achieved anything. Her heart was filled with bitterness. A trace of mist rose in Xi Ling¡¯s beautiful eyes, and a sense of powerlessness arose from her heart. As the Immortal, it should have been extremely easy for her to protect an empire. However, because of her support-type Talent Tree, she could not completely enter the upper echelons of the Hunyuan Sect no matter what. Sensing Xi Ling¡¯s emotional state, Yu Chen shrugged. ¡°Perhaps if you hadn¡¯t become the Immortal back then, you wouldn¡¯t be in such pain.¡± Xi Ling lifted a hand to dry her tears. ¡°What brings you back this time?¡± she asked as calmly as she could. Yu Chen stood beside Xi Ling and said, ¡°My Primordial Chaos Art is not perfect. I need to learn cultivation techniques beyond the fourth realm.¡± Xi Ling¡¯s pupils contracted in horror. ¡°Wh-what?¡± She suddenly turned to look at the calm Yu Chen and asked in shock, ¡°Little Brother Chen, your current cultivation level is¡­¡± All these years, Xi Ling had never let Yu Chen fight at all. In addition, Yu Chen usually kept a low profile and hid his cultivation realm very well. Therefore, Xi Ling did not know how much Yu Chen¡¯s cultivation had improved. Yu Chen smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m a fourth realm level ten cultivator now, little friend.¡± Xi Ling could not help but raise her eyebrows slightly. As she was also a fourth realm cultivator, Xi Ling naturally knew how difficult it was for a fourth realm cultivator to increase their cultivation realm. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have only advanced by two levels over the years. Moreover, improving two levels was only possible through the large amount of resources possessed by the Hunyuan Sect. What about Yu Chen? He was in the Heavenly Prison. Not to mention resources, he did not even have a single spirit stone. Not to mention spirit stones, it was already very good that he was not disturbed when he was cultivating However, Yu Chen could actually raise his cultivation to the tenth level of the fourth realm in the time it took her to raise two levels? What the hell¡­ What was going on? Xi Ling couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Little Brother Chen, could it be that you possess the divine-grade ¡®Genius¡¯ talent?¡± She herself had a high-grade ¡®Genius¡¯ talent. Therefore, Xi Ling knew very well that in Yu Chen¡¯s situation, even if he had top-grade talent, he would definitely not be able to improve so quickly. Therefore, he must have had a divine-grade ¡®Genius¡¯ talent. Yu Chen nodded calmly. ¡°That¡¯s right. You¡¯re not an outsider, so I won¡¯t hide it from you.¡± With that, Yu Chen lowered his head and took off the necklace that had been hanging around his neck. Then, he slightly unleashed some spiritual energy out of his body. With the output of spiritual power, Yu Chen¡¯s Talent Tree appeared above his head. Xi Ling¡¯s beautiful eyes slowly widened, and her small mouth formed an O. She was shocked. Yu Chen¡¯s Talent Tree appeared and disappeared quickly. In an instant, Xi Ling was shocked to the core. Xi Ling shook her head slowly. ¡°Wang Yun is really unlucky to have offended you.¡± ¡°Also¡­ I may not be able to help you with the Primordial Chaos Art.¡± ¡°Because the Primordial Chaos Art that I¡¯ve mastered can only be cultivated to the tenth level of the fourth realm.¡± ¡°Sorry.¡± Yu Chen waved his hand. ¡°No need. I¡¯ll go find the Sect Master now.¡± With that, Yu Chen disappeared. Staring blankly at the empty space that Yu Chen left, Xi Ling fell into deep thought. If only I also had a combat-type talent tree¡­ ¡°Isn¡¯t this the Lord Saint who managed to woo our Immortal?¡± ¡°What brings you here in the middle of the night?¡± When the two Primordial Chaos Sect disciples guarding the door saw Yu Chen approaching, they started joking. It was rumored that Yu Chen was not smart. He couldn¡¯t even tell if people were talking about him. He couldn¡¯t even take care of himself and could only follow Xi Ling every day. ¡°Sigh¡­ I wonder if the Immortal is crazy. I can¡¯t believe she would actually like such a fool.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. He was fine when he first joined the sect, but he became a fool not long after.¡± As Yu Chen¡¯s expression turned cold, a heavy pressure fell upon the two disciples. In an instant, the two of them were as pale as paper and started sweating profusely. ¡°Lord¡­ Lord Saint, we didn¡¯t mean to. Please let us go.¡± ¡°I¡¯m¡­ I¡¯m sorry. I was wrong.¡± At the same time, the two of them were very puzzled. Why was Yu Chen different from usual? He didn¡¯t look stupid. In fact, he looked especially scary. Yu Chen did not argue with them and went straight to the point. ¡°I want to see the Sect Master.¡± After being shocked by Yu Chen, these two finally behaved. One of them lowered his head obediently and said, ¡°Your Highness Lord Saint, I¡¯ll inform the Sect Master now.¡± At that moment, a voice came from the hall. ¡°Send him in.¡± The disciples guarding the door looked at each other and opened the door for Yu Chen. Seeing Feng Changchun, Yu Chen also went straight to the point. ¡°Sect Master, my cultivation has already broken through to the tenth level of the fourth realm. I want the next step of the Primordial Chaos Art.¡± Feng Changchun sat at the head of the table and said coldly, ¡°You will need to exchange the cultivation method with your true identity.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Yu Chen was surprised. Feng Changchun said solemnly, ¡°You might have your difficulties, but that can¡¯t be a reason for you to hide your identity.¡± ¡°The Grand Elder has already shown mercy by not forcing you to reveal your true identity.¡± ¡°The fifth realm Primordial Chaos Art involves the secrets of my Hunyuan Sect.¡± ¡°Therefore, unless you reveal your true identity, you won¡¯t be able to obtain the fifth realm cultivation method of the Primordial Chaos Art.¡± Yu Chen thought for a moment and asked, ¡°In other words, if I reveal my true identity, will I be able to obtain all the cultivation methods of the Primordial Chaos Technique?¡± Feng Changchun smiled and nodded. ¡°According to your talent, that¡¯s it.¡± He had no choice but to expose himself in order to obtain the mental cultivation technique. Yu Chen first sorted out his words before saying, ¡°Alright, I hope you won¡¯t go back on your word, Sect Master.¡± Feng Changchun said, ¡°As long as there is no problem with your identity, then everything will be fine.¡± After all, Yu Chen was an unprecedented super genius. Feng Yuan was not the only one who could tell this.
