Chapter 550: Chapter 543: Sea King Supre Elder?
Heavenly chanism Technique was a legacy that Chen Hai had picked up from a piece of Secret Bone he had found on Zhang Yushan of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.
As for the Curse Killing Technique, it ca from a slate he took from Ye Qingqing.
Furthermore, after killing Sun Jitian and experiencing the Heavenly Tribulation with the Heavenly Desolate Demon Sect, Chen Hai also acquired a considerable number of Secret Techniques and inheritances from their bodies.
Especially the Storage Bag that ca from Sun Jitian was filled with many desirable items.
After all, they had fled defeated from the Qianshan Territory, and as the strongest among them, Sun Jitian’s Storage Bag contained most of the resources essential for their potential resurgence.
And now, with Sun Jitian dead, his Storage Bag had fallen into Chen Hai’s hands.
After erasing the unique seal within the Storage Bag and sorting through the contents, Chen Hai truly struck it rich.
To him, money might have been an external possession, but those Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures Record from the Heavenly Desolate Demon Sect stored within the bag were things that even a mountain of money could hardly procure.
After giving a portion of the cultivation resources he opened from the Storage Bag to Ye Qingqing in her cave mansion on Cuixia Peak, Chen Hai did not linger there for long but returned to his own exclusive courtyard, designated for him as a Guest Elder.
After all, the affairs between n and won were just a pasti during the leisure of cultivation, a way to increase enjoynt and deepen the feelings between him and Ye Qingqing.
For a cultivator like him or Ye Qingqing, the most important affair was certainly cultivation.
Chen Hai had it better; having attained the True Saint Realm, he himself did not even know how long his life span would be—he could only be sure that with his current strength and realm, living for several hundred to a thousand years was definitely not a problem.
But Ye Qingqing had just stepped into the Fourth Realm, Storage, which granted her an additional fifty years of life—however, fifty years was insignificant for a cultivator.
Not wanting to succumb to illness or age, the only way was to continue pressing forward, striving to step into the Seventh Realm, Manifestation, as soon as possible to extend her life by another hundred years.
Content after having Chen Hai stay with her in the cave mansion for so ti, Ye Qingqing began to engage in intense cultivation after he left, with the nurous resources she had obtained from him.
Back in the area allocated to the Guest Elders, in his assigned courtyard, Chen Hai began to isolate himself and intensely cultivate, embracing the various Secret Techniques he held.
Additionally, he needed to earnestly study the various records he had unsealed from Sun Jitian’s Storage Bag.
Texts like the Mountain and River Records, Exotic Objects Record, and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures Record, although not directly enhancing Chen Hai’s combat power, expanded his horizons significantly, allowing him a deeper understanding of the world.
After thoroughly mastering the texts from the Heavenly Desolate Demon Sect, missing out on treasures because he couldn’t recognize them should beco a rarity.
As for those Secret Techniques, if Chen Hai could successfully cultivate them, they wouldn’t increase his realm, but they would definitely boost his combat power substantially.
After all, having stepped into the True Saint Realm, his realm was adequate, but the thods at his disposal were indeed very limited.
Because of this, when facing enemies, he mostly relied on his fists and feet.
Legend spoke of the Supre Divine Power that could chill the Nineteen States with a single sword light, a display of such might and dominance. Sadly, Chen Hai had no knowledge of such techniques.
Among the thods at his disposal, suitable for his current level, there was only one—the Nether Shadow Step.
With this technique at hand, it significantly boosted his combat power, and he was likewise adept at using it.
Having the realm without the corresponding thods was Chen Hai’s current weakness.
In his current state, facing an opponent with a lower strength and realm, a single punch might easily result in a quick kill.
But when confronting a powerful adversary of the sa level, whether he could win remained an unknown.
He was not sure how much ti he had spent in closed-door cultivation, digesting and assimilating the various gains in his possession.
He only knew that now, compared to before, his vision was much broader, and even though his realm had not improved, his combat ability had definitely increased a lot.
Opening the courtyard gate and stretching lazily, Chen Hai slowly stepped out from within the courtyard.
Not far away, several Guest Elders congregated, chatting idly.
“Who is this Sea King Supre Elder?” Overheard discussions reached Chen Hai’s ears, perplexing him, causing him to pause several tis.
Curiosity is a trait of humanity, to which he was no exception.
Scanning through the crowd and spotting a familiar face, he felt a spark of interest and approached.
“Taoist Friend Zidie, may I ask, who is this Sea King Supre Elder you speak of?”
“I haven’t been part of the Sect for long, but as far as I know, there doesn’t seem to be a Sea King Supre Elder among the Sect’s esteed Supre Elders, is there?”
Chen Hai, the man from the past who had approached her, was a Guest Elder of the Sect, known as the woman nad Zi Die.
On that day, when he had just entered the Sect and beco a Guest Elder, Zi Die and a Guest Elder nad Min Yang were among the first batch of visitors to call on him.
Chen Hai still rembered them vividly.
“So it’s Guest Elder Chen, you have joined our Sect, but I’ve never seen you around. Have you been in secluded cultivation all this ti?”
“Half a year ago, when the Heavenly Desolate Demon Sect invaded, the Sea King Supre Elder erged from nowhere, reversing the crisis with just a single punch that reduced Sun Jitian, who had overco the Heavenly Tribulation seven tis, to ashes.”
“How could you not know about such a major event, Guest Elder Chen?”
Zi Die gave Chen Hai a strange look and asked with a hint of suspicion.
“This… As an ascetic…”
“Becoming a Guest Elder of the Bloodthirsty Sect, all I wanted was a peaceful environnt to focus on my cultivation in seclusion.”
“The invasion by the Heavenly Desolate Demon Sect you speak of from half a year ago must have coincided with a critical juncture in my cultivation. I had sealed off my five senses and was utterly unaware of the outside world.”
“I just ended my seclusion and ca out from the other courtyard!”
Chen Hai stuttered his explanation.
Although it was his first ti hearing of the na Sea King Supre Elder, once Zi Die ntioned how the latter had reduced Sun Jitian to nothing with a single punch, Chen Hai understood that this so-called Sea King Supre Elder was none other than himself.
Back then, Sect Master Gui Wuya had invited him to be the Chief Supre Elder, but Chen Hai had crisply refused outright.
Now, the na of Sea King Supre Elder was causing a sensation, and when Guest Elders like Zi Die spoke of him, their faces showed nothing but admiration and respect.
Chen Hai didn’t need to guess to know that this was certainly the doing of the high-ranking mbers of the Sect.
They were rely using the na of the Sea King Supre Elder to restore the confidence of the Sect mbers and foster a stronger sense of belonging.
Although the higher-ups had only promoted the Sea King Supre Elder without exposing his identity,
Chen Hai still felt slightly annoyed after finding out the news from Zi Die.
He felt as if Gui Wuya and the others had put on a bit of a show, which appeared to be sowhat forcing his hand.
Of course, as much as he felt displeased, Chen Hai did not show it in front of Guest Elders like Zi Die.
“The invasion by the Heavenly Desolate Demon Sect took place half a year ago?”
“So by that account, my period of secluded cultivation lasted half a year?”
“Yeah, happily, that’s not too long…”
Even though Ye Qingqing had already embarked on the path of Cultivation and had made so progress, he still worried that centuries might pass during one of his cultivation sessions.
Hearing from Zi Die that only half a year had passed, he breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself.
“By the way, where is Taoist Friend Min Yang?”
“You seed to have been quite close to him; how co I only see you here, but Min Yang is nowhere to be found?”
With just a few brief inquiries, Chen Hai had learned the answers he wanted and was preparing to leave when he threw in a polite comnt.
“Guest Elder Chen, you mustn’t speak recklessly. Min Yang and I are just ordinary colleagues.”
“That man was unscrupulous. When the Heavenly Desolate Demon Sect invaded, he attempted to take advantage and sneak into our Sect’s treasure vault.”
“He was caught in the act and was executed right there and then.”
“My loyalty to the Bloodthirsty Sect is unwavering; how could I have any close association with a person of ill intent like Min Yang?”
Chen Hai’s words were rely a courtesy, yet they visibly unnerved Zi Die.
She glared at Chen Hai fiercely and quickly defended herself.
“I spoke out of turn; please don’t hold it against , Taoist Friend Zi Die.”
“How could a kind-hearted and beautiful cultivator like you be involved with soone like Min Yang!”
Slightly embarrassed, Chen Hai chuckled awkwardly and hastened to clear the air.
