Chapter 727: 0451 Path of the True Spirit (Happy New Year, asking for double monthly tickets)

Lu Chenzhou felt a sense of enlightenment.

"This barrier, in essence, is a higher-level application of the Dao. After the Martial Arts Tree absorbs its residual and ownerless Dao Yun, it’s just an ordinary Flame Barrier of a Great Demon King’s level, easily breakable. It seems simple, but if one cannot decipher this mystery layer, anyone beneath the Heavenly King will be refined before the barrier’s power is exhausted.

In comparison, my application of the [Dao] is still too shallow. Though today’s battle was perilous, I learned quite a bit from this Demon Venerable."

The Martial Arts Road, whether friend or foe, all can be teachers.

Outside, a group of Grandmasters and Great Grandmaster experts all stared slightly dazed at the appearing Lu Chenzhou.

In their eyes, there was a flash of destructive intention.

The whole person deep, transparent, wise.

Just like, Enlightenment in Dao.

Lu Chenzhou smiled and said, "Encountered a strong demon tribe expert borrowing the Demon King’s projection, it has been dealt with by me." This matter involves the Red Lotus Demon Venerable, besides absolutely trusted master and top figures like the Northern Guardian King, he does not plan to say more. With so many Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters present, one couldn’t be sure who might be a spy of the demon race, otherwise, how would Red Lotus know about his hunting expedition?

The crowd quickly said.

"It’s fine as long as you’re alright."

"This demon tribe expert is not simple; we attacked its barrier for an hour with over ten Great Grandmasters and dozens of Grandmasters, and couldn’t break it."

Everyone found it more and more unbelievable.

"I merely have the trump card left by the martial sect."

Lu Chenzhou looked around at the people present.

"I see."

The sky gathered winds and clouds, faintly came the sound of a boundary being torn, a pair of blue phoenix claws emitting golden iron luster stretched open a rift extending across the sky. Shocked eyes watched as a white phoenix covering the sky squeezed into this world, its narrow gaze surveying.

"It’s Senior Bai."

"Senior Bai’s Qi Po Dharma Form is truly magnificent."

"Rivaling the Grey Dragon Dharma Form of the Dragon King."

Bai Feng landed with a sword, looking at Lu Chenzhou with surprised eyes. "Solved it? Am I late?"

"Thank you, senior, I’m alright."

"That’s good, well done."

Bai Feng looked at everyone, waved his hand: "The training is over, you all go gather at the base point, next the vein will be taken over by the military, this small realm may not be safe."

This training had too many unexpected changes.

Honestly speaking, Lu Chenzhou alone drew most of the demon tribe’s attack, otherwise, the losses wouldn’t be as severe.

But in a sense, had Lu Chenzhou not been in the small realm, the demon tribe wouldn’t have expended so much cost.

"Junior brother, I’ll head back first, be careful."

Wang Xian, sweating profusely.

Junior brother truly is a Divine person. If it were him being targeted like this, under such terrifying high pressure, he would’ve collapsed long ago.

"Senior brother, see you in Su City."

Lu Chenzhou waved, estimating this Senior Bai Feng probably wanted to talk to him alone.

...

Wanbang Council.

"Senior Bai Feng successfully descended into the realm."

"Great, Lu Chenzhou is saved."

The Heavenly King responsible for the trial also breathed a sigh of relief.

This trial was too difficult.

Twists and turns, filled with killing intent!

New news came.

Northern Guardian King’s eyebrows raised. "Before Senior Bai Feng descended, he had already escaped, which was beyond my expectations... After all, the one descending into the small realm was an avatar of Red Lotus Demon Venerable, though only at the Fifth Realm, but as a Nine-Pattern Demon Clan, its true combat power is not lesser than a Heavenly King, impressive."

"What? Escaped on his own?"

Cui Shan Daoist seemed slightly astonished. Although it was just a projection, he could also feel the barrier’s creator’s [Dao] realm, not weaker than Xuanwu Daoist.

"Strange? How did he escape? The gap in levels of Dao is too big, brute force is unlikely to work."

Some Heavenly King was curious.

Northern Guardian King thought for a moment, saying, "It should be Wang Changming’s life-saving Sword Qi, which exhausted the barrier’s power, allowing Lu Chenzhou to break through and escape."

Even so.

Northern Guardian King knew clearly.

This is definitely not something that Sword Qi could solve.

Lu Chenzhou has other trump cards.

Perhaps from the Great Power Cave Mansion, or the reliance that allowed him to progress from a Low Class root bone, advancing triumphantly all the way. In short, every Supreme genius has secrets.

Ancient Lv Ancestor, Zhang Ancestor, today’s Eternal Immortal, Cangtian Dragon King... Each astonishingly talented individual does not just have great talent or great effort, but also a great fate.

Although within the Da Xia Heavenly King’s group, the probability of traitors or wicked individuals emerging is very low, it’s not nonexistent. Thus, he felt it’s better not to publicize this matter.

Meanwhile.

Wang Changming also heard from Wang Xian about Lu Chenzhou’s escape, his expression calm, he internalized.

"My Sword Qi at most approaches the Heavenly King level, breaking a barrier suspected of being the Demon Venerable’s, unlikely. This kid probably broke it himself, doesn’t want to be too high-profile."

Looking at Lu Chenzhou’s rise, it’s beyond what talent or effort can achieve, behind this, surely lies a fate unimaginable to ordinary people. Old Wang, as a master, knows best, he just pretends to be oblivious.

...

Demon Palace, hearing Lu Chenzhou is alright, the demon emperors looked at Red Lotus Demon Venerable, silence is tonight’s Cambridge.

Red Lotus’s projection slowly dissipated, only the sound echoed. "With Absolute Peak emerging, for now, hibernate for self-preservation, shift focus to underground work in the Ancient Divine Church."

...

"Congratulations to Senior Bai Feng on reaching Absolute Peak."

Lu Chenzhou was genuinely happy.

Wanxiang Dao now has three Absolute Peaks, if we count the Dragon King, Elephant Form currently has four Absolute Peaks.

"Congratulations on becoming a Great Grandmaster and achieving Middle Realm. Your rapid progress is quite surprising to me."

Bai Feng’s eyes were clear, and his tone was gentle.

"Just some fortuitous encounters."

"Luck is also a part of strength. I have high hopes for you; you have the potential to break the Dragon King’s record."

Bai Feng smiled. f.re(e) w.e(b)nov el.c.om

"Haha, I’ll strive for it."

The grind of the small boundary over five years made Lu Chenzhou increasingly confident and ambitious. To be young and not frivolous is wasting youth; a Great Grandmaster gets sixty Jiazi of life, and he had only lived through a tenth - still youthful!

"The one who just attacked me seems to be the Red Lotus Demon Venerable, who was presumed dead." Lu Chenzhou’s expression was serious.

"Yes, it is. It’s not dead, most likely sleeping in the Earth’s core in the Human World, accumulating power.

It has always hidden very well, but our instruments detected subtle abnormal energy fluctuations."

Bai Feng apparently already knew.

"Why hasn’t the Wanbang Council eliminated it?" .com

Lu Chenzhou was puzzled.

"It’s simple, they can’t eliminate it. The area around the Red Lotus Demon Venerable’s hiding place has a temperature exceeding ten thousand degrees, and the center surpasses a million degrees. Even an Absolute Peak Expert cannot enter it.

Being a member of the Nine-Pattern Demon Clan, it controls various forms of energy such as fire, nuclear energy, and radiation energy, understanding the Way of Destruction. The Earth’s core is its home ground."

Bai Feng explained.

"But allowing such a Demon Venerable to exist in Human World is like having a potentially eruptive volcano, quite dangerous."

Lu Chenzhou sighed.

"Indeed, but when you reach our position, you’ll find that many issues cannot be resolved at the current stage. Unless the Dragon King and veteran Absolute Peaks return, or Chairman Wan awakens, the other newly promoted Absolute Peaks, including myself, aren’t confident enough to kill it.

However, the Red Lotus Demon Venerable fears us more because it’s uncertain whether Chairman Wan succeeded in Breakthrough Eighth.

Once there is Eighth Realm Combat Power in Human World, should it recklessly emerge, it would definitely be annihilated in one strike. It’s also waiting; we analyze that its strength is not at its peak.

This is a game of mutually fearing each other, where no one wants to break this balance first but instead maintain status quo and accumulate power until the balance is broken.

Of course, if the Red Lotus dares to leave its lair at this stage, we have trump cards that can kill it."

Bai Feng’s explanation made Lu Chenzhou understand.

"Senior, has Chairman Wan broken through to Eighth?"

Bai Feng shook his head.

"I’m unsure. Previously, when Xuankong Shangren reached Breakthrough Seven, Martial Arts Peak unusually rose a lot. We thought Chairman Wan had broken through to Eighth, but after more than ten years passed, there’s still no news from Chairman Wan, and we don’t have Chairman Wan’s life lamp. We can’t confirm his status... This uncertainty makes the Red Lotus Demon Venerable indecisive."

The two chatted for a long time, and suddenly, Mr. Turtle’s voice came into Lu Chenzhou’s mind. "Junior brother, bring this senior to Grotto Heaven. He has good talent."

...

Primordial Mountain Cave Heaven.

"Bai Feng meets Mr. Turtle."

"There’s no need for formality, Daoist friend. To achieve Heavenly Realm within a mere three hundred years in the Human World, I truly admire you. This time, I’ve invited you on behalf of my master, the ’Ape God Ancestor’, to accept disciples. Though my master does not have much fame, he is a Great Power second only to the Four Emperors. If you’re interested, you can use the Sky Battle Token to try the inheritance trial."

Mr. Turtle was extremely courteous to Bai Feng.

In Great Wilderness, even a genius of Mountain and Sea Realm cannot compare to a good seed already stepping into Heavenly Realm.

Throughout history, exceptional geniuses were as abundant as fish in the river, but those achieving Heavenly Realm were rare. Most either died young, or were as fleeting as meteors, blending into the crowd - which is more important is obvious.

Bai Feng thought for a moment, then smiled:

"Alright, I’ll give it a shot, but my qualifications are nothing extraordinary, I may disappoint you, senior."

...

Yuanbao Mountain Peak.

"Wow, this is nice. I want him as my master! I didn’t expect such a supreme handsome man to exist in Human World."

The Fox Woman clapped her hands excitedly.

"I also want to try."

The burly man with a bear head rubbed his hands standing on a Wolf Fang Club.

"You’re not the right match; your temperament doesn’t suit him. You suit Lu Chenzhou." The Fox Woman teased.

"Lady Xuanqiu, you said you’re interested in Lu Chenzhou before. You change your heart too quickly." The ape watched the show.

...

Inside the battle space.

An elderly ape wearing cloth clothes and holding a wooden stick was clashing with a figure as bright as White Light.

"What terrifying power."

Bai Feng was sent flying backward, eyes filled with Battle Intent. Having become Absolute Peak, he hadn’t yet fought with a Heavenly Realm Expert. Before leaving Human World, this was a great opportunity to sharpen himself.

...

"Junior brother, your senior is quite good, huh? Is he also from your Wanxiang Dao?" During this time, Mr. Turtle specifically studied the Da Xia Martial Arts, understanding the classifications of Elephant Form, Tai Chi, Eight Extremes.

"Yes, our Wanxiang Dao has already spawned three Heavenly Realms." Lu Chenzhou said with pride.

"Not bad, though this Dao still carries traces of the Heavenly Fighting Sect and Heavenly Dragon Sect, it’s striving for its own path, somewhat akin to the Great Wilderness True Spirit Sect that I recall."

"True Spirit Sect?"

"It’s normal not to have heard of it; it’s a path eliminated in the Great Wilderness. They advocate the Daoist Technique of nature, all living Wanxiang, with the ultimate goal of becoming as strong as the alien species from Ancient Times, wielding the powers of True Dragon and Heavenly Phoenix."
