Chapter 385: 379 Chapter Stopping and Hoping (2nd Update)

Su Chen was disappointed again.

"You’ll know in the future!" Huo Shouying consoled him.

"Master, when are we leaving for the Divine Martial Continent? Do you need to rest?"

"No need, we set off now!" Huo Shouying could hardly wait any longer, then he solemnly instructed, "Going to the Divine Martial Continent requires traveling through much more Void than from Divine Human City to the Earth plane. You must protect yourselves. Remember one thing, follow me, do not stray. Otherwise, if you are targeted by a Void Beast or become lost in the Void, even I can’t save you. In the Void, my strength is quite weak, just barely sufficient to open a passage from Earth to the Divine Martial Continent."

After Huo Shouying finished instructing, Su Chen, Gu Yuan, and Yoo Junluo all nodded.

The next moment.

Su Chen shook his head again, "Master, I need to make a trip to the Void Space!"

Ling’er must be sent to the Void Space.

"What are you going to the Void Space for?" Huo Shouying’s expression changed drastically.

"The woman I deeply love is on the verge of demonizing. She must be in the Void Space, where time and space come to a standstill, to give me time to find a way to save her!" Su Chen explained succinctly.

"I absolutely won’t allow you to go to the Void Space!" Huo Shouying shook his head, shaking it vehemently, "Su Chen, the Void Space is extremely dangerous!!! Even though you are extraordinary, if you go now, you will certainly die!"

"Master, I know, but I have my own hidden card, and I have to go!" Su Chen gritted his teeth, "Ling’er was demonized because of me. A man has things he must do and things he must not do, so this is what I must do!"

Huo Shouying’s brow furrowed even more tightly, and after a long time, he said, "In fact, if it’s truly to save someone, you don’t need to go to the Void Space... On the Divine Martial Continent, there is a treasure called the Void Bodhi Tree, and on it grows the Void Bodhi Leaf. If you can obtain a Void Bodhi Leaf, then its effect would be even better than that of the Void Space..."

"There’s not enough time," Su Chen shook his head.

"Not enough time is still no excuse. If it were in the past, although the Void Space is dangerous, if I were with you, we could give it a try, but now..." Huo Shouying’s expression became grave, "The deep Void where the Void Space is located, these past few years, is in the midst of an exile storm!"

As soon as Huo Shouying said this, Jiuyou was greatly shocked, "What? An exile storm!!! Damn it!"

Su Chen’s expression changed, "Jiuyou, what’s wrong?"

"Young boy Su, it seems you really can’t go to the Void Space. You have really bad luck, encountering an exile storm season..." Jiuyou’s voice was heavy, "The exile storm is the most terrifying Void turbulence in the Void. Not just you—even at my peak, if touched by the exile storm, I would die. Moreover, most crucially, during the exile storm season, the Void Space will also exile itself. In plain terms, it’s moving, and you can’t find it at all!"

"Damn it!!!" Su Chen’s face turned pale all of a sudden, and he looked toward Huo Shouying with a hint of hope and anticipation in his eyes, "Master, is there really an exile storm? You must be trying to stop me and deliberately lying to me, right?"

"There really is an exile storm!" Huo Shouying said sternly, "I have not deceived you..."

Su Chen’s face grew even paler. Through Huo Shouying’s eyes, he could tell that his master hadn’t lied to him.

"Jiuyou, what do we do now? Do I just watch Ling’er demonize?" Su Chen’s heart pounded wildly, as if it was about to leap out.

"We can only hope for the Void Bodhi Leaf mentioned by your master. Indeed, the Void Bodhi Leaf can have the same effect as the Void Space, perhaps even a better one!"

A glimmer of hope radiated from Su Chen’s eyes, and he quickly said, "Master, how can I obtain the Void Bodhi Leaf?"

"This..." Huo Shouying hesitated.

"Master, please tell me!"

"Only the Imperial Family of Nan’e Ancient Kingdom has the Void Bodhi Leaf!" Sovereign briefly gritted his teeth and said, "To obtain the Void Bodhi Leaf, you must first gain the attention of the Nan’e Ancient Kingdom’s Imperial Family, and then they will give it to you!"

Su Chen didn’t speak, "Master, can you explain a bit more? It’s very important to me!"

"To be exact, if you want the Void Bodhi Leaf, you need to prove your worth, such that Nan’e Ancient Kingdom believes your value is greater than that of a single Void Bodhi Leaf. Naturally, they will give you one to curry favor with you."

"Master, what you said is still too vague. Simply put, how can I gain the attention of the Nan’e Ancient Kingdom?"

"Ahem..." Huo Shouying coughed, "We’ll talk about this later!"

"No, Master, I’m in a hurry!" Su Chen was firm.

Huo Shouying fell silent for a moment, but eventually said, "The only way is for you to represent the Nan’e Ancient Kingdom in the Ancient Kingdom Tournament!"

"Is it difficult to represent the Nan’e Ancient Kingdom in the Ancient Kingdom Tournament?" Su Chen retorted.

"On the Divine Martial Continent, there are three Ancient Kingdoms. The Nan’e Ancient Kingdom is one of them, which has under it Four Great Dynasties. Our Burning Heaven Sect is under the Xuanfeng Dynasty, where power is ranked as First-Rank Power, Second-Rank Strength, Third-Rank, and so on... To represent Nan’e Ancient Kingdom, first, you have to be the most extraordinary talent among the Sixth-Rank Powers like Burning Heaven Sect. Then you must defeat all the geniuses of other powers within the Xuanfeng Dynasty territory— Fifth Rank, Fourth Rank, Third Rank, Second Rank, First Rank. At that point, you could be considered the number one talent of the Xuanfeng Dynasty. After that, you need to compete with the top talents from the other three dynasties within the Nan’e Ancient Kingdom. If you win against them, you would be Nan’e Ancient Kingdom’s number one talent, qualified to represent Nan’e Ancient Kingdom!" Huo Shouying paused, speaking slowly, "In short, there are a total of three trillion Martial Cultivators on the Divine Martial Continent, with Nan’e Ancient Kingdom accounting for one third, that’s one trillion Martial Cultivators. You need to be the first among these one trillion Martial Cultivators before you can be certain of obtaining the Void Bodhi Leaf from the hands of the Nan’e Ancient Kingdom’s Imperial Family!"

After Huo Shouying finished, Su Chen was quiet.

But Yoo Junluo and Gu Yuan’s eyes sparkled as they looked toward Su Chen.

Obviously, the two women were somewhat moved.

One trillion!!!

One in a trillion!

Key point being, this was one trillion of the Martial Cultivators from the Divine Martial Continent, not from Earth or other subsidiary planes.

"It’s indeed too difficult!" Huo Shouying sighed.

"Master, when is the earliest I could earn the title of Nan’e Ancient Kingdom’s number one talent?" The next second, Su Chen asked.

"Ah?" Huo Shouying was taken aback—his disciple seemed... truly serious. He fell silent for a moment, then said, "At the earliest, you need to pass at least three grand tournaments, which would take around a year and a half, to claim the title!"
