Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword
Chapter 775 - 752

Chapter 775: 752

Zhou Heng glanced at Chen Qilong and said indifferently, "You sit over there for now, I’m teaching someone to cultivate!"

Chen Qilong was first taken aback, then rage surged within him!

Who did this brat think he was, issuing orders at will? He was a Land Cleaving Second Layer Heaven expert, ranking within the top ten, even top five of Baiming City. Was he someone to be casually brushed aside?

"Hahaha, Brother Chen seems to have been slighted!" Luo Yufu entered with his arms crossed, and right behind him, like a ghost shadow, Zhao Siliang walked in with his hands behind his back, his face utterly expressionless.

Chen Qilong was furious inside, but Luo Yufu and Zhao Siliang were no weaker than him, and the Luo and Zhao families were just as formidable as the Chen family—there was nothing he could do to them!

He didn’t even look at Zhou Heng and said, "Arrogant people tend to die quickly!"

That remark was meant for Luo Yufu and Zhao Siliang. He couldn’t let the Chen family’s prestige diminish! And with these two outsiders present, he didn’t mention anything about the Green Spirit Ginseng, to avoid drawing the covetous gaze of these two big families—that would really complicate matters.

Zhou Heng patted Hu Yin’s head and asked, "Little girl, have you memorized the fist techniques I taught you?"

"Yes!" Hu Yin nodded repeatedly.

"Good, those three old guys are your opponents! You’re a child, and they’re old men—just perfect, right?" Zhou Heng pointed at Chen Qilong and the others.

"Yes, yes!" Hu Yin nodded again and again. She was clueless about the strength hierarchies among martial artists. In her naive way of thinking, the older they were, the less effective they should be. Like in her village, where the elderly did not work the fields or hunt in the mountains.

Well, it couldn’t be helped, could it? Old age meant declining strength!

She looked at Chen Qilong and the others and said, "Three grandpas, Yin will be careful not to hurt you!"

Pfft!

Chen Qilong and the others nearly choked with rage, being disrespected by a mere child like this! But they were hardly about to stoop to the level of a green girl. This insignificant character could be squashed with a single slap. The truly infuriating part was Zhou Heng, allowing a child to humiliate them like this!

Originally, Luo Yufu and Zhao Siliang came to enjoy the drama; the Chen Family was their competition, after all, so they were happy to see someone stirring up trouble for them. But to be unexpectedly struck by the same offense, they couldn’t bear it!

"What an arrogant kid!"

"He doesn’t know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is!"

They both snorted, their faces grim. In Baiming City, no one had ever dared to speak to them like this.

Seeing the reaction of Luo Yufu and the others, Chen Qilong felt somewhat more balanced in his heart, no longer the only one being humiliated! But with the Luo and Zhao families sticking their noses in, what about the Green Jade Ginseng?

The old man started to get a headache again.

Zhou Heng laughed and patted Hu Yin’s head, saying, "Let me help you raise your cultivation level, then go and beat them!" His spiritual power enveloped her, and Hu Yin’s body underwent an earth-shattering transformation.

He was now a Sublimation Sovereign. With a flick of his wrist, he could create a Divinity Transformation Realm expert! If he was willing to pay the price, he could even elevate a mortal directly to the Sunshine Realm, but at the cost of his own cultivation regression!

But elevating Hu Yin to the Heaven-Opening Realm was truly effortless.

"Kid, stop playing tricks, cu—eh!" Chen Qilong was challenging Zhou Heng, very keen on keeping the Luo and Zhao families out of it. But as soon as he spoke out, he was dumbfounded.

Not just him—Luo Yufu and Zhao Siliang were equally aghast, as if they’d seen a ghost.

Before their very eyes, the little girl who had clearly never cultivated before was advancing her cultivation level at a visible speed.

Body Refinement First Layer, Second Layer, Third Layer... Tenth Layer, breakthrough!

First Layer of Spirit Gathering, Second Layer Heaven, Third Layer Heaven, breakthrough!

Initial Separation First Layer Heaven... Land Cleaving First Layer Heaven!

In the blink of an eye, Hu Yin had reached the Land Cleaving Realm, and she showed no signs of stopping!

Land Cleaving Second Layer Heaven, Third Layer Heaven, Heaven-Opening Realm!

"That’s enough, go fight them!" Zhou Heng withdrew his hand and flicked Hu Yin’s head.

"Big brother, why do I feel so strong all over?" Hu Yin asked curiously, understandably unaccustomed to suddenly becoming an "expert" at the First Layer Heaven of Open Heaven from a mere mortal.

"Then be careful not to kill anyone," Zhou Heng joked.

But Hu Yin nodded seriously and said, "Yin knows!"

She stepped out to face Chen Qilong and the others.

The three old men were so embarrassed they felt like fainting at any moment.

This was unbelievable!

They had spent their entire lives cultivating to reach Land Cleaving Second Layer Heaven, and in this lifetime, they might manage to reach the Third Layer Heaven. But without some special opportunity, they could likely never advance beyond the Third Layer Heaven, and could only look up to the Heaven-Opening Realm.

But just look at her—instantly rocketing from a mere mortal to the First Layer Heaven of Open Heaven!

In comparison, what were their efforts worth? What did their struggles amount to?

But were their eyes deceiving them? How could such preposterous things happen in this world? Did she consume an Immortal Pill or what!

Hu Yin’s figure shifted, and she threw a punch!

Whoosh, bam!

Having been just a mere mortal before, it was impossible for her to immediately adapt to the terrifying power within her body. Her leap was too strong, and she burst straight through the wall. However, the power of a Heaven-Opening Realm first-layer heaven was so immense that all she did was punch a hole through the wall.

Shock painted Hu Yin’s face. Naturally, she could not understand how her speed had become so swift or her strength so immense, and her originally soft body seemed to have transformed into a super weapon!

Chen Qilong and the two others wore solemn expressions, their faces serious. The loud crash brought them back from their shock, one after another they directed gazes full of immense reverence toward Zhou Heng.

This youth had created a Heaven-Opening Realm first-layer heaven expert with a mere wave of his hand!

He must be an Immortal! Who else in the world could achieve this? Not even a Heavenly Venerate of the Divinity Transformation Realm could do so!

Chen Qilong felt like fainting. Would such a being covet Green Spirit Ginseng? When he could create a Heaven-Opening Realm expert with a flick of his wrist, would he covet their Green Spirit Ginseng? Not to mention one Green Spirit Ginseng, even a thousand, ten thousand, he wouldn’t even deign to give a glance!

Hu Yin turned around, her figure moved again as she launched another attack.

This time, her aim had improved slightly.

Though her punch still missed by several yards, she possessed the power of the Heaven-Opening Realm, and just the shockwaves alone could leave Land Cleaving Realm experts crying for their fathers and mothers. Naturally, Chen Qilong’s group could only flee in a panic. How could they even think of retaliating?

Let alone whether they could defeat a Heaven-Opening Realm expert, even if they could, so what? With Zhou Heng watching over them, would they dare to make a move?

This master was an Immortal. With a mere thought, he could make the entire Baiming City evaporate from existence!

Bam! Bam! Bam!

They had already lagged behind Hu Yin by a major realm, and because of their reservations, they were placed in an even tighter spot. Once Hu Yin had adjusted to her power a little, they were successively blasted away.

Outside the inn, the onlookers did not dare to enter, only able to eavesdrop on the commotion. Then, suddenly, they saw three figures crash out, rolling on the ground.

Those were Chen Qilong’s trio who had just gone in!

How could this be possible?

Those three were Land Cleaving second-layer heaven experts, able to subdue others, only surpassable by the Old Ancestors of the three grand families!

The members of the Chen family exchanged puzzled looks, their faces filled with bemusement. As expected, even the supreme Second Elder had been laid low; whether he would commit suicide to preserve his dignity remained to be seen.

"I’m so sorry, Yin didn’t control her power and injured the three grandfathers!" Hu Yin also leaped out, bowing repeatedly in apology.

Phew!

The surrounding people all stuck out their tongues in shock. These three experts were defeated by this little girl? You must be joking! She’s barely twelve or thirteen, how could she have the power to defeat a Land Cleaving second-layer heaven expert?

And to topple three at once!

Even though they had been humiliated publicly, Chen Qilong’s group didn’t dare to harbor the slightest resentment. Zhou Heng’s strength had surpassed the limits of their imagination. If they had been defeated by someone of the Divinity Transformation Realm, would they feel disappointed? No, they would feel honored to exchange blows with such an expert!

Zhou Heng might not have made a move himself, but he directly trained a "master" to spar with them. It was their honor!

"Junior Chen Qishan (Zhao Siliang, Luo Yufu) pays respects to our senior!" Anyway, they were already lying on the ground, so they didn’t bother getting up, simply laying prostrate and bowing.

—If the supreme Big Shot felt pleased, and would deign to favor them even slightly, the Heaven-Opening Realm—ah!

Outside, the crowd felt their brains couldn’t keep up. Chen Qilong had come raging for vengeance, but how had he ended up prostrate just after entering, and from prostrate to kneeling? What was happening?

And what was with the Luo and Zhao families? Why were they acting like dogs too?

As for disdain, the Chen family members topped the list. Just now, Chen Qilong had cursed them out, but now? In the blink of an eye, he too had knelt! Was there no shame left?

Hu Yin had never encountered such a scene and immediately shrank back, rushing to Zhou Heng’s side. She could hardly adapt from commoner to Heaven-Opening Realm in a matter of minutes!

Zhou Heng said indifferently, "Do not cause any more trouble, leave."

"Yes! Yes!" Although it was a pity they didn’t receive Zhou Heng’s guidance, what kind of existence was he? Speaking a few words with them was a favor from the heavens! The trio quickly took their families and departed, strictly ordering no one to bother Zhou Heng.

With that, naturally, no one dared to disturb Zhou Heng anymore. While waiting for people, Zhou Heng occasionally gave some cultivation advice to Hu Yin.

The little girl had good aptitude and understanding, quickly adapting to the identity of a martial artist and immersing herself in it, practicing her fist techniques zealously every day.

There were also legends of Immortals here, and unlike the Mortal Realm where one needed to break through the void to enter the Immortal Realm, it was said this Immortal Realm could be reached through an Immortal Bridge. However, here, it was not called the Immortal Realm but the Immortal Domain.

After reaching the Divinity Transformation Realm, martial artists could try to traverse the Immortal-Ascension Bridge. If they succeeded, they would become Immortal!

Zhou Heng thought that the mysterious gate spewing out Creation Realm-level Demon Beasts meant it absolutely resided within the Immortal Domain—and furthermore, in an extremely high-tier region.

Thus, his goal for this journey became clear: first, find this Immortal-Ascension Bridge. (To be continued.
