This talent could enhance his sensing ability, predict danger, strengthen his Primordial Spirit Power, and even improve his comprehension; the benefits were truly boundless.

However, after Chu Xisheng had exchanged for this promotion talent, he showed no joy whatsoever.

He sat on a boulder by the riverbank, gazing at the lake ahead with knitted brows and an unsmiling face.

Up to now, he had still not found any clues regarding that mysterious sword skill.

Chu Xisheng speculated that either there were no clues, or they had been buried beneath the mud and silt at the bottom of the lake.

This was a very likely scenario.

‘The Time Secret Realm’ had appeared twenty thousand years ago.

After twenty thousand years of accumulation, the Black Sea had undergone tremendous changes, and who knew how deep the sediment at the bottom was.

If there had been a stele or something else hidden under the lake back then, it was now probably buried beneath the sediment at the bottom of the lake.

If the reality was as he hypothesized, then the situation was tricky; Chu Xisheng certainly couldn’t just flip the entire salty lake upside down.

Just as Chu Xisheng was fretting over this, Leng Chanra came over, carrying Fang Bu Yuan’s ice coffin in his arms.

“Junior Brother, have you been turning over the Black Sea these past few days because you think this place, like the Sky-reaching Tree and Wind Blood Cave, also hides the True Intent of that sword move?”

Upon hearing this, Chu Xisheng glanced over, “I am indeed searching for the True Intent of this sword move. Does Brother Leng have any advice to offer?”

He guessed that Leng Chanra might have some clue. For once, he did not put on a cold face but displayed a pleasant expression.

“I have already found something,” Leng Chanra said.

A slight smile played at the corners of Leng Chanra’s lips, a hint of smugness in his eyes, “But you have to pay! This sword move is extremely extraordinary, intervening in Time Order with the nine forces of Life and Death, Wind, Thunder, Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth; it clearly has the posture of a ‘Divine Move.’ This clue is worth 300,000 taels of Demon Silver!”

A trace of joy flashed through Chu Xisheng’s heart, but his face turned dark, “Why would Brother Leng say such a thing? We are brothers; talking about money will only hurt our feelings and harm the fellowship between us as sect-mates.”

Leng Chanra let out a cold, mocking laugh as his expression turned frosty, “Talking about feelings will cost money! Since the moment I was born, I only recognize the colors of gold and silver, besides Brother Kongfang. Since Junior Brother is unwilling to pay, then forget it.”

He was already walking away as he spoke, not dragging his feet at all.

Chu Xisheng’s brow furrowed deeply as he looked at the sparkling lake surface before him, pondering where Leng Chanra might have hidden the True Intent.

That man had been tailing him like a shadow, never straying ten miles from him.

Therefore, places Leng Chanra had visited, Chu Xisheng had also been to; the scenery Leng Chanra had seen, Chu Xisheng had also seen—so the clue found by Leng Chanra must have come into his contact, too.

Chu Xisheng’s thoughts raced like lightning, recalling past scenes in rapid succession.

Finally, he gritted his teeth fiercely.

“Fifty thousand!”

“One hundred thousand!”

“One hundred fifty thousand!”

Seeing that Leng Chanra remained unmoved, walking away to sit on a boulder a mile away, Chu Xisheng felt an urge rise within him to draw his sword and kill the man,

“Two hundred thousand! That’s the most I can offer. I would rather delay a little longer than believe I can’t figure it out.”

His money didn’t come from a gust of wind.

Just thinking about spending 200,000 taels of Demon Silver for just a sentence made Chu Xisheng feel the pain.

Leng Chanra suddenly showed a smile from afar, “With those words from Junior Brother Chu, this trip to the Secret Realm has not been a total loss for me. Junior Brother might want to look at the fish in the lake, especially those scales.”

Chu Xisheng was momentarily stunned, then immediately reached into the lake with a sweep of his hand.

With an explosive splash on the lake surface and a jet of water shooting up, a reddish-brown carp about a foot long was forcibly drawn to the shore by the Vigorous Force emitted by Chu Xisheng.

Chu Xisheng held the carp and examined its scales.

After a short while, Chu Xisheng’s expression shifted subtly.

Incredibly, there were indeed some peculiar lines on the carp’s scales, containing hidden meanings within them.

But these lines were sparse, and the hidden meanings were so faint that even after searching the bottom of the lake for more than a day, Chu Xisheng had failed to notice anything unusual about the carp’s scales.

If he wasn’t mistaken, these lines were only a tiny part of a much larger picture.

Just as Chu Xisheng was preparing to concentrate and take a closer look, he suddenly sensed danger, feeling that a lethal threat was approaching.

Chu Xisheng’s expression changed slightly, “Everyone, get back!”

Without hesitation, he deployed the ‘Infinite Slash’ merged into his movement technique, and jumped back with all his might.

With that leap, he cleared more than thirty yards. Immediately afterward, he saw the boulder about ten yards in diameter in front of him being cleanly sliced into six pieces by three incredibly sharp, incredibly precise forces of Temporal Power and collapsing.

Chu Xisheng stood in place, uncertain and alert, sensing his surroundings but finding no more abnormalities.

Zhou Liangchen and Bai Xiaozhao beside him were equally pale.

They stood ten steps away from Chu Xisheng, and the reach of those three forces of Temporal Power had enveloped them as well.

If they had been any slower in moving away, they would now have turned into corpses, cut into several pieces.

Bai Xiaozhao’s eyelids twitched again as her gaze shifted toward Chu Xisheng’s hand, “Brother, look at your hand.”

Chu Xisheng then looked down at his right hand.

He found that the carp in his hand had turned into flesh and blood fragments, and on the back of his right hand, there was now a tiny cut.
