506: Chapter 151: Going Mad
“Jiu Que, protect
well, I am about to start refining the Yuan Ci Secret Realm.
After the refining is complete, we must leave this place imdiately—ti is running out.
If I miss the third contest as well, I won’t be able to marry the Holy Daughter!”
Zhou Yan’s voice was heavy with resolve.
He hoped that the second contest, the test of combat power, would not end too quickly.
If so, he would still have a chance.
“Saint Master, rest assured, everything will turn out fine.
Besides, you need not worry.
According to the process I’ve deduced, the second contest should be the test of combat power.
Such a battle is very beneficial for the training of geniuses, almost like a life and death fight.
Hence, not too many battles will be arranged each day to allow other Cultivators to observe and gain so sudden enlightennt.
Moreover, the more geniuses there are in the fight, the more rounds each must combat, so in terms of ti, we should still be able to make it.
As long as you, Saint Master, refine the Secret Realm within the next five days and join the last battle of the second contest for the Holy Daughter’s hand in marriage, it is entirely possible.”
Aware of Zhou Yan’s concerns, Jiu Que had given a carefully derived answer after thorough calculation.
Hearing this, Zhou Yan also breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Then there’s no ti to lose.
I must begin refining the Yuan Ci Secret Realm imdiately.”
“En, Saint Master, rest assured.
With Jiu Que protecting you, even if the Hall Master’s avatar descends, Jiu Que, with no reservations now, will go all out.
So, in the short term, he won’t be able to disturb you,” Jiu Que assured with absolute certainty.
…
Spiritual Lotus Secret Realm.
The Evil King returned, carrying a cold murderous intent.
He had not expected that within the Yuan Ci Secret Realm, there would be so many sches, nor had he expected the Netherworld Palace Master to be involved.
What was originally a very secretive matter, how had it co to be known by everyone?
It was both puzzling and infuriating!
The Evil King’s heart was filled with rage and hatred.
He felt a strong urge to break through to a new realm and then seek retribution for the combined suppression and humiliation he had suffered.
Other than the incident with the fragnted soul that had left him in a disgraceful state, he had never been so humiliated in his life!
With hatred raging within him, the Evil King lifted the block on the Spiritual Lotus Secret Realm and telepathy, imdiately appearing in his own palace.
However, when he appeared in the palace, he was stunned.
The palace was still as it had been, but now it was ruined and dilapidated.
All his treasured and defying treasures had either disappeared, been shattered, or left in utter disarray!
All his treasures were wasted!
The once splendid palace now lay desolate and bleak, like ruins; an array of broken Elixirs and Holy Artifacts lay ssily on the ground, and the sll of urine wafted from ti to ti, so of it pungent.
Not far away, on his cherished ditation mat, there were urine patterns sketched like a map, like ancient Runes, forming a line of words.
“Grandson Ji Xie, your grandpa has visited here.
Thank you for such a generous hospitality, showing filial piety.
Grandpa is very satisfied, specially left a few puddles of urine for you to take a look at yourself, to see what you really are.”
This ssage did not bear a signature.
But upon seeing this, the Evil King stood frozen in place.
Then, a wave of insane rage exploded from his heart, and he violently spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
He was completely consud by fury.
“Ah ah ah—”
He roared with a shrill voice, the sound shaking the Nine Heavens and the Universe, leaving them utterly shocked.
“Who?!
Who exactly is it?!
If I find out, I will make them wish they were dead!
Wish they were dead!
Wish they were dead!
Ah ah ah—”
The Evil King went mad, his screams hysterical and relentless.
For a long ti, the entire Spiritual Lotus Secret Realm shook violently, as if thrown into chaos.
Finally, the Evil King cald down again, but his cold gaze had turned exceptionally venomous and terrifying.
Ignoring his own injuries, he forcefully attempted the Returning Light Origin technique continuously.
Yet every ti he did, a burst of Ancient Blood Light shattered the technique, rendering all his efforts futile and untraceable.
The Evil King’s face twisted with an ugly rage, trying thousands upon thousands of tis, only to have each attempt crushed by the Blood Light, denying him any revelation.
Ultimately unable to withstand the repeated failures, the Evil King lashed out madly within the Spiritual Lotus Secret Realm.
Terrifying power erupted like a tsunami storm, exploding between the heaven and earth of the Linghe Secret Realm, turning the place into a Purgatory.
…
Contrary to the Evil King’s situation, after the Netherworld Palace Master returned to the Netherworld Palace within the Life and Death Illusion Realm, his main body imdiately spat out a mouthful of bloody fluid.
At his side, the Netherworld Goddess sensed sothing, and without asking anything, she stood up and prepared to depart imdiately.
“Qingyan, sorry, I failed.”
The Netherworld Palace Master’s expression was sowhat ugly and a bit awkward.
Mu Qingyan, upon hearing this, wasn’t surprised at all and said indifferently, “Father King, you are too conceited, never taking those Cultivators of weaker Realms seriously; in the end, it has cost you.”
“This ti, it was a miscalculation, our biggest advantage—taking the initiative—beca our downfall, leaving us outmaneuvered by others,” the Netherworld Palace Master imdiately said.
Mu Qingyan’s expression did not change; she simply shook her head and said, “Even with the initiative, success would have been difficult.
I’ve said before that once Divine Fist Li intervenes with his sches, success becos very unlikely.
That’s why I suggested you prepare for the worst… And it turned out as I expected.
Furthermore, Father King, you were too hasty.”
“It was Father King who underestimated the enemy,” he replied.
The Netherworld Palace Master’s face turned pale, and he sighed.
“The ones often drowned are those skilled in swimming.
If I were Father King, I would have stayed hidden, waiting for the one who had claid the Secret Realm to leave before quietly following.
With your abilities, Father King, taking them on one-on-one and seizing the Secret Realm would not have been difficult.
Alternatively, at a crucial mont, you could have used a trick to draw the attention of all Saints, and secretly have Jiu Que make a move to lock down Zhou Yan, capturing him and bringing him into the Netherworld Life and Death Illusion Realm.
At the sa ti, let Jiu Que hold the fort.
Then, the arrangents made by Divine Fist Li for Zhou Yan would have beco unsolvable since the Secret Realm was still being refined by Zhou Yan.
Later, stripping Zhou Yan of his capabilities and Soul Mark would naturally bring the Secret Realm into our hands,”
The Netherworld Goddess spoke indifferently.
The Netherworld Palace Master’s body shuddered, a look of shock on his face, then he sighed and said, “If only I had heard this plan earlier, the chances of success—”
Before he could finish, the Netherworld Goddess interrupted him, “I don’t want to see Zhou Yan, and not everything needs
to calculate for Father King.
It’s good to have failures, as they provide Father King with motivation to progress.”
With that, she moved elegantly away, her figure gradually disappearing into the distance, but she left one more sentence, “Moreover, I do not wish for Father King to seize the Yuan Ci Secret Realm, so even though I knew your conceit would lead to failure, I chose to remain silent.”
Her voice lingered in the air, though her figure had already vanished.
The Netherworld Palace Master looked at the gradually disappearing figure in the distance, his ghostly face showing a bitter smile.
…
Hou Chen did not know when the Evil King would return, so while seizing and destroying resources, he maintained absolute speed and wasted no ti.
Not only that, after he had his fill, he deliberately left a few puddles of urine, along with a line of text to tease the Evil King.
Having done all this, he imdiately flew away, taking the ‘large fortune’ with him.
Along the way, he again relied on Ancient Arrays to traverse the Void, leaving Sword Burial Ancestor Star behind and appeared on an ancient, desolate star in the Starry Sky.
Hou Chen began to refine the Emperor Blood, combining it with the devoured Elixirs and Spiritual Materials, as well as the heavy resources he had carried off, starting to refine the energy within his body, transform his Sword Spirit, and solidify his Sword Soul.
He intended to use the ancient Emperor Blood Inheritance to directly undergo a Realm transformation and Ascension, reaching an understanding of the ‘Xuan Restriction’ and approaching a Combat Power near nine, elevating his Realm to the Void Realm; hence, his Strength would be greatly enhanced.
This would relieve the pressure of securing a top position in the geniuses’ battle.
Now, with the battle of geniuses drawing near, Hou Chen also knew ti was of the essence.
He had missed the first round of comprehension, and even if he hadn’t, he wouldn’t have been stronger in comprehending other aspects of the Sword Dao than those geniuses, so he counted the first round as a loss.
For the second round, he calculated that it should last for about fifteen days.
If he could complete his transformation within that ti and catch up with the final clashes, there shouldn’t be any difficulties.
With these considerations in mind, Hou Chen began to concentrate, started to refine energy, unseal the Emperor Blood, refine the Emperor Blood, and surge towards a new Realm.
The inheritance within the Emperor Blood held incredible opportunities and capabilities, even mories of ancient emperors, almost like a direct initiation.
At the age of five or six, due to various inheritances, Hou Chen’s mind was nearly mature.
Now, with the mories and initiation from an ancient emperor’s inheritance, he would beco fully matured, with his age no longer being a limitation.
Hou Chen activated an ancient guardian Array with an Array Plate, then stimulated his Ancient Blood to begin his Realm transformation.
…
Frost Tears.
Three days passed by.
The Yuan Ci Secret Realm finally rged mother and child, detaching from the Purple Fla Void.
The Purple Fla Void remained as it was, but more perfected, while the Yuan Ci Secret Realm truly entered the Yuan Magnetic Soul Token.
The Soul of the Yuan Ci Secret Realm transford from a child into a handso young boy, though his mories remained closed, his abilities noticeably increased.
At the thought of Zhou Yan’s will, the Heaven and Earth shifted, and Jiu Que, Xiao Shuang, and Little Xue imdiately entered the Yuan Magnetic Soul Token.
The Soul Token, for the ti being, beca a mark, branded on the back of Zhou Yan’s hand.
Within the Secret Realm, a vast amount of Origin Energy directly presented itself; the world was like a beautiful environnt with green mountains and clear waters, akin to an Immortal Realm.
This world was incredibly beautiful, yet the killing intent could be controlled at will, ready to be unleashed at any mont.
Here, the Primordial Energy was extrely dense, comparable to over a thousand tis that of the outside world, and even within the Primordial Energy road copious amounts of Origin Energy.
Breathing here felt refreshingly clear, equivalent to a Cultivator’s arduous training for a day or two in the outside world.
