“Elder, this is indeed a Saint Breaking Pill, but it has been sealed by me, so there is no strange phenomenon or pill fragrance emanating from it!”
Su Chen explained.
“I see.”
The old man gently nodded.
Immediately after, his expression gradually turned solemn as he looked at Su Chen and said, “The value of this Saint Breaking Pill is immeasurable. You shouldn’t show it to others casually in the outside world. If you meet someone with ill intentions, even the Great Mystery Sect won’t be able to protect you!”
If Su Chen went to Dashang now, he might still have a chance of survival.
However, once the news of him having the Saint Breaking Pill spread out, the Saint Breaking Pill would be destroyed.
it was almost certain that Su Chen would immediately fall into a deadly crisis.
Even forces like Dashang and Dachu, which had Saint Realm experts overseeing them, would disregard everything and personally take action!
Which major power would not wish to have another Saint Realm expert?
After saying that, the old man added.
“You can’t take out the Saint Breaking Pill casually in the Great Mystery Sect.”
Although he really wanted this Saint Breaking Pill, he knew his own situation best.
He was nearing his end, and would probably pass away soon.
At this moment, even if he took the Saint Breaking Pill, he might not be able to break through. On the contrary, the possibility of wasting such a precious pill was even greater.
Instead, it was better to let Su Chen keep it for himself.
With Su Chen’s talent, perhaps in a few decades, this pill would take effect.
“I came here today precisely to give this Saint Breaking Pill to Elder!”
Su Chen said with a smile.
“No! Absolutely no!”
As soon as Su Chen’s words fell, the old man rejected him without hesitation.
“Elder, don’t be in a hurry to reject me. To me, this medicinal pill is of no use, but to you, Elder, it has extraordinary significance. The reason why Elder is unwilling to accept this medicinal pill is because you are not confident in breaking through to the Saint Realm… But now that the opportunity is right before your eyes, why don’t you give it a try, Elder?”
Su Chen said slowly.
“The cultivation method I cultivate is only a heaven-level upper-rank cultivation method. According to common sense, I can only cultivate to the peak stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm. Without special opportunities, I may not have the chance to become a Saint Realm expert in this lifetime.”
The old man said as he looked at the Saint Breaking Pill in Su Chen’s hand.
Immediately, he withdrew his gaze and said with a firm attitude, “Elder, you are wrong!”
Hearing this, Su Chen’s expression became serious. He said leisurely, “Since ancient times, how many people become Great Emperor Realm experts only after first possessing an emperor-level cultivation method?”
As soon as he said this, the old man’s eyes suddenly lit up.
That was right!
Those Great Emperors would also first undergo the tribulation before they summarized what they had learned in their lives and created perfect Emperor Scriptures that suited them.
Now that he had the chance to become a saint, why couldn’t he follow in the footsteps of those ancient saints?
“You said earlier that you don’t have much time left. Since that’s the case, why not take a gamble? This is a great opportunity to transform from ordinary to extraordinary that lies right before your eyes!”
“Hmm? What is ordinary and what is extraordinary?”
The old man looked at Su Chen with a strange expression and asked curiously.
“Uh…”
Su Chen rubbed his nose awkwardly and said, “Elder, this isn’t the main point.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward and placed the Saint Breaking Pill in the old man’s hand. Then, he turned around and left.
Along with his departure, his voice rang out in the old man’s ears. “The most important thing now is that once Elder successfully breaks through, the entire Great Mystery Sect will benefit! Elder, you don’t want to see your juniors being bullied, right?”
“Well…”
The old man looked at the Saint Breaking Pill in his hand and was stunned.
His turbid eyes stared fixedly at the pill in his hand, and a faint light rose from the depths of his eyes.
“I never expected that even after living for thousands of years, I would not understand as deeply as a junior… Fine! Then 1 will step into the Saint Realm for the sake of the entire Great Mystery Sect!”
He looked up at the sky and chuckled.
As soon as he finished speaking, the aura of his impending mortality dissipated in full. Then, he crushed the jade box in his hand, picked up the Saint Breaking Pill, and swallowed it.
Not long after, a terrifying aura rose from the back mountain of the Great Mystery Sect.
The old man soared upwards, flying out of the Great Mystery Sect against the heavens.
At the same time, in the Sect Leader’s Hall of the Great Mystery Sect, Elder Chen was currently recounting what had happened in Qingzhou.
Although he had already roughly explained these things in the jade slip, some details still needed to be reported thoroughly, in case any hostile sects had acted covertly without the sect leader knowing.
“Elder Chen, you’re saying that the Everlasting Sect sent three elders to kill you before you entered Qingzhou?”
The sect leader of the Great Mystery Sect’s gaze was deep, and a cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Su Chen was extremely important to the Great Mystery Sect.
No matter who it was, if they dared to attack Su Chen, they would be going against the Great Mystery Sect!
“That’s right.”
Elder Chen gently nodded and said.
“The Everlasting Sect has been really unscrupulous these days! Do they really think that our Great Mystery Sect doesn’t dare to retaliate against them?”
Killing intent slowly rose from the body of the sect leader as he spoke in a cold tone.
Before this, the Everlasting Sect didn’t just target Su Chen.
A month ago, they had sent someone to kill Mu Qingxue during the secret land trial.
Fortunately, Mu Qingxue’s skills were superior and she broke through at the critical moment. With her strength at the peak stage of the Qi Sea Realm, she killed three peak-stage God Altar Realm elites in one strike.
First, it was Su Chen. Then Mu Qingxue. It seemed the Everlasting Sect was determined to oppose their Great Mystery Sect!
“Elder Chen, these next few days, you, Elder Fang, Elder Han, and dozens of core disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall will go hunt the Everlasting Sect’s people! Whether it is disciples or elders, as long as you encounter them, kill them all! It’s time to make the Everlasting Sect pay a price!”
The sect leader of the Great Mystery Sect said in a deep voice.
Their Great Mystery Sect was not ready for an all-out sect extermination war yet.
Even if they could do it, the Great Mystery Sect would not easily take such action.
This was because destroying a major power would also greatly damage the Great Mystery Sect’s own strength.
If they were careless, they could be taken advantage of by other sects, or even offend the Dachu Empire.
“Also, inform all the disciples of the Great Mystery Sect that they are not allowed to leave the sect’s territory for the next year.”
Since they wanted to hunt down Everlasting Sect disciples, in order to prevent retaliation, it was best to restrict their own disciples as well, to avoid unnecessary deaths.
“Yes, Sect Leader!”
Elder Chen gently nodded and said, “I’ll go and make arrangements right away…”
However, before he could finish his sentence.
Boom!
A terrifying pressure descended from the nine heavens.
This pressure was pervasive. Even the sect’s protective formation couldn’t block it.
Almost instantly, all the disciples below the God Altar Realm of the Great Mystery Sect were pressed to the ground, unable to move at all.
The pressure was like a mountain.
Even some of the elders found it difficult to breathe as if their hearts were being gripped by an invisible hand..
