Chapter 169: Returning to the Great Mystery Sect
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The golden-haired eunuch was very clear about his own strength.
Even if he was twice as strong, he would not be a match for the North Vanquishing King of the Dachu Empire.
Even if the North Vanquishing King had not become a saint, he must have reached the peak stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm!
As for him…
He was just an ordinary Quasi-Saint expert. If he were to fight with the North Vanquishing King, he knew that he would not be able to last more than three moves.
“I’m lacking in consideration!”
Divine Spear Marquis gently nodded and said.
“Just wait and see.”
The blonde eunuch looked at him meaningfully and said with a smile, “It won’t be long before Su Chen comes to the Dashang Empire. At that time, there might be a good show waiting for us…”
At the same time, outside Stone City.
On a tall mountain, a pavilion stood proudly.
At this moment, there were two figures in the pavilion, one standing and the other sitting.
If Su Chen was here, he would definitely recognize this scene.
This was because the person standing was none other than the Eldest Prince who had just called him fellow Daoist not long ago, Chu Feng!
The person sitting there was shrouded in divine light, and his face could not be seen clearly.
He sat there motionless, but an ominous aura spread out from him, like an eternal immortal king that made people want to prostrate themselves in worship.
“Greetings, Imperial Uncle!”
The Eldest Prince bowed respectfully.
Even he could not help but feel a sense of insignificance when facing this person in front of him.
Because almost everyone in the entire Dachu Imperial Family knew that the North Vanquishing King’s aptitude far surpassed the Dachu Emperor!
It was also because he had no intention of fighting for the position of the Dachu Emperor back then.
Otherwise, it would be hard to say who was sitting on the throne now.
“Get up.”
A gentle voice rang out.
Buzz…
A breeze dragged the Eldest Prince to his feet.
“You did well today.”
The North Vanquishing King slowly spoke and praised.
“What does Imperial Uncle mean?”
Hearing this, the Eldest Prince pondered for a moment, still unable to understand.
He didn’t seem to have done anything outstanding today.
On the contrary, Su Chen was the one who was truly dazzling.
He had defeated the Dashang Empire’s Marquis Champion in one fell swoop and became the number one person among the young generation. No one could ignore him now.
As for himself, he had merely stood up for Su Chen.
“A prodigy who has passed ten Nirvana Tribulations… This is the first person in history!”
The North Vanquishing King did not answer him directly. He only said leisurely.
After that, the Eldest Prince’s expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed, “Ten Nirvana Tribulations!”
Previously, he had suspected that Su Chen didn’t pass the ninth Nirvana Tribulation, but the tenth one.
Unfortunately, without sufficient historical records, he did not dare confirm it.
But now that his imperial uncle had spoken, there was practically no doubt.
Su Chen had passed the tenth Nirvana Tribulation!
This was the first time since ancient times!
It was no wonder that his imperial uncle had praised him for doing well. It turned out that it was because he harbored goodwill towards Su Chen, not hostility!
Imagine, if their Dachu Empire had such a terrifying enemy, everyone in Dachu would probably be unable to sleep at night.
“Imperial Uncle! But Su Chen will be heading to the Dashang Empire soon…”
The Eldest Prince pondered for a moment before voicing his biggest concern.
He had already tried persuading Su Chen but to no avail.
“Don’t worry.”
The North Vanquishing King smiled and looked into the distance with a hint of anticipation. He said, “Whether it’s Dashang or Dachu, they’re just a pond to Su Chen. And a true dragon can’t be confined in a pond!”
The next day.
Everything that happened outside Stone City spread out at an extremely fast speed.
Countless people were discussing what had happened.
The once-in-ten-thousand-years ninth heavenly tribulation had appeared again today in Qingzhou.
This was enough to cause a huge uproar!
Especially after the ninth heavenly tribulation, another heavenly tribulation fell!
In fact, many people believed that the heavenly tribulation that Su Chen had truly transcended was not the ninth one, but the unheard-of tenth!
After all, there were no records of it in historical texts, but that did not mean that the tenth heavenly tribulation did not exist!
What if…
What if Su Chen had created a new page in history?
Su Chen, who had caused this uproar, was already on his way back to the Great Mystery Sect.
After a day of cultivation and adjustment, the divine radiance on Su Chen’s body had already been completely retracted.
He seemed to have completely fused with the world around him. An ineffable Dao charm lingered around him as if he would ascend to immortality at any moment, illusory and ephemeral.
“The spirit light rewarded by the Heavenly Dao is indeed extraordinary. My aptitude and comprehension ability have been greatly improved. Even my cultivation is about to break through to the middle stage of the Nirvana Realm!”
In the golden chariot, Su Chen opened his eyes. His gaze was like two divine swords, so sharp that no one could look at him directly.
“It took me nearly a month and a half to come to Qingzhou. Now that I have a supreme-grade flying spiritual treasure, the time should be greatly reduced.”
Su Chen looked at the scenery outside the window and muttered softly.
Immediately after, he withdrew his gaze and immersed himself in cultivation again.
In a month, he might not achieve any breakthrough in cultivation, but the divine powers he cultivated could still be improved.
Perhaps he could cultivate the Heavenly Divergence Divine Art to grand attainment in one go this time!
Once the Heavenly Divergence Divine Art was cultivated to grand attainment, then the strength of his divine sense would be comparable to a Quasi-Saint Realm expert!
With this assurance, the Dashang Empire would have an additional layer of protection!
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, a month slipped by.
The Great Mystery Sect was already in sight.
The sect was no different from when he left, but Su Chen himself had undergone earth-shattering changes.
His strength had already stabilized in the initial stage of the Nirvana Realm.
The cultivation speed of the Heavenly Divergence Divine Art had also exceeded his imagination. Originally, he would have been satisfied if he could cultivate it to grand attainment within a month.
In the end, what he did not expect was that he was actually just a little bit away from perfection.
The reason why his cultivation speed was so fast was closely related to the heavenly spirit light that he had snatched from Marquis Champion.
He alone had two portions of the heavenly descended spirit light, so his comprehension ability was worlds apart from before.
Heaven-level divine powers were not considered very difficult for him. Other than the Heavenly Divergence Divine Art, the others such as the Raging Sea and Thousand Waves, Crimson Flame Flowing Light Slash, and so on had all reached perfection.
Once his strength and vision improved, it would not be difficult for him to cultivate an earth-level martial art again.
If a Saint Realm expert cultivated an earth-level martial art, they could probably start right at the small attainment level with just a casual look.
Arriving in front of the sect, Su Chen waved his hand and put away the golden carriage, then flew into the Great Mystery Sect.
When the two outer sect disciples guarding the mountain gate saw Su Chen, they quickly bowed and said, “Greetings, Senior Brother Su Chen!”
Su Chen nodded slightly in response.
After that, his figure directly entered the mountain-protecting formation and disappeared..
