Chapter 525: Chapter 390 Breakthrough, Reach Profound Peak!_3

They say his name shakes the heavens and stirs the Jianghu.

With one slash, he subdued Qingzhou; all other geniuses paled in comparison to Chen Yuan’s brilliance.

Hmm…

There’s nothing wrong with that statement. Now, when young prodigies of Qingzhou are mentioned, the first person that comes to everyone’s mind is Chen Yuan. Beyond him,

if there are any other talents to be spoken of, one would have to think hard.

Compared to other State Prefectures, Qingzhou is indeed not very prominent.

There are no Immortal Sect-level Martial Arts Holy Lands, no powerful martial forces, just an ordinary Prefecture City among the Great Jin Thirteen States, originally good at producing grain.

However, due to the drought, it has even been surpassed by nearby Shuzhou and Yun State.

Han Yu and others secretly met with Chen Yuan and reported the recent developments in full detail. Generally speaking, things were looking up; their influence was expanding into nearby Prefectures.

It was also through their account that Chen Yuan learned about Wei Xin and Shenxiao Hall.

After encouraging them, Chen Yuan cautioned them to keep his return to Tangshan Prefecture confidential and not to alarm outsiders—he intended to undergo serious seclusion and cultivation for a period of time.

Han Yu and the others expressed understanding. After giving their report, they silently left, handing the space over to Lady Xu.

Having not seen her for over a month, Lady Xu was as stunningly beautiful as ever…

The situation she informed him about was consistent with what Han Yu had reported. With this in mind, Chen Yuan was able to put his worries aside and moved to a secret chamber specially constructed for him by Lady Xu.

This was prepared according to Chen Yuan’s instructions before he left for Qingzhou City, commanding Lady Xu to oversee the construction of a secret chamber and to find an Array Master to inscribe formations within it, aiming to maximize the utilization of Primordial Crystals.

Indeed, she had done well.

After rewarding Lady Xu, Chen Yuan hastily entered into seclusion—if he did not completely build his Cultivation up to Reach Profound Perfection, he would not leave!

…

…

Time flies, and the seasons change.

In the blink of an eye, nearly two months passed, and Chen Yuan remained in seclusion. Even Lady Xu and Han Yu were starting to feel anxious, but they remembered Chen Yuan’s previous instructions.

Unless it was a matter of urgency, they were not to disturb his cultivation.

They could only wait patiently, ensuring the nearby security was exceptionally strict.

Two months is neither a long time nor particularly short. In normal circumstances, such a period wouldn’t bring any significant upheaval.

But it was different with the impending commencement of the Ascension Battles.

The entire Jianghu was highly agitated, with daily news of someone challenging another, adding to their list of victories. Those who’d shown signs of greatness no longer hid, embarking madly on the struggle for the rankings.

After all, the Ascension Battle had only fifty slots available, and only those in the top fifty would get the chance to participate in the Ascension Battle, and this fact alone caused a significant commotion.

Except for the top three in the Hidden Dragon List, who remained unmoved.

From the top ten to the top fifty on the Hidden Dragon List, the competition was fierce. Those geniuses who had emerged out of nowhere, or had previously concealed their strength, were no longer hiding but were doing their utmost to climb the ranks.

Every day, someone was ousted from the list, and every day someone new took their place.

After two months of slaughter, the names on the Hidden Dragon List had changed significantly—not entirely, but certainly more than just a little. These individuals had been concealing their strength, waiting for this day.

Han Yu was ousted from the Hidden Dragon List, Ouyang Zhi was squeezed out, and Shangguan Yu, Chen Yuan’s good brother and a huge victim, was also pushed out of the top ten.

Bai Changqing squeezed out Gu He, successfully entering the top five of the Hidden Dragon List, while Dao Xuansheng was ranked sixth. Yu Qingyan barely kept her place in the top ten, while the esteemed disciple from Lingxiao Sect was squeezed out of the top ten early on.

They were replaced by hidden experts from the other Five Families and Seven Sects.

But there was some good news too. Chen Yuan’s former superior, Zhang Xuan, successfully entered the top twenty of the Hidden Dragon List, creating a sensation in the region.

The martial world had been looking forward to Chen Yuan’s actions over these two months, wondering if he would defeat Zuo Chengzong, but as more and more achievements were announced,

everyone’s focus shifted to other Martial Artists.

In this battle for the Hidden Dragon List, only the Hidden Dragon Four Extremes remained unmoved. In the beginning, when Gu He heard that Chen Yuan had defeated Xuanming, he wanted to spar with Xuanming.

But within a hundred breaths, he was beaten so badly that he doubted his life and left dejectedly.

It was only later that Bai Changqing’s fight with him took place.

Eventually, Gu He was pushed to the seventh position previously occupied by Chen Yuan. After losing two matches in a row, many challengers aiming for the top ten targeted Gu He,

Until an upset Gu He, in a test of skill, accidentally killed an opponent, quelling some of the disputes.

Though he had been pushed out of the top five, it wasn’t because he was weak, but because the five individuals ahead were too abnormal… that’s how he explained to Yu Qingyan.

But Yu Qingyan didn’t pay him any attention.

While the outside world was in turmoil, none of it shook Chen Yuan’s resolve to continue his cultivation. For two months, he had not moved a step, becoming like a statue within the secret chamber.

Stern cultivation, stern cultivation, and more stern cultivation!

He was fiercely refining his Divine Soul spirit, slowly strengthening it through the God Transformation Lotus.

On this day, at high noon,

The few Heavenly Patrol Guards guarding the secret chamber wiped the sweat from their foreheads and glanced at the blazing sun, remaining silent. They had maintained this position for nearly two months as well.

They had grown accustomed to it and were no longer surprised.

But just when they thought the day would be as uneventful as usual, suddenly, a long cry resounded, impacting them. The cry was prolonged and consistent, and could be heard across half of Tangshan Prefecture City.

The dozen or so Heavenly Patrol Guards and the leading Heavenly Patrol Envoy all looked towards the direction of the secret chamber.

After nearly two months, this was the first time any sound had emerged from within.

Inside the secret chamber.

Chen Yuan, who had been as still as a statue, suddenly opened his eyes, creating a buzz of electric activity, a flash of bright light. Inside the Spirit Platform, the Divine Lotus swayed, his Divine Soul was full, and he had clearly reached a brand-new level.

His aura had also completely reached the Reach Profound Peak!!!
