Chapter 878: Chapter 873: I Persist (7 updates)

But deep down in her heart, there was another thought: if Su Chen indeed required the Sect Master to intervene in order to survive the life and death battle, then from then on, his fate would not be as she had imagined.

At the very least, the Sect Master would no longer take him as a disciple, and he could forget about representing the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect in the battle against the Six Great Sects three years later.

The life and death battle in over twenty days was not just about Su Chen’s survival, but also about his fate and future.

In truth, deep inside, she also felt that Su Chen was being too rash. There was no need to be so stubbornly rigid.

For a Martial Cultivator, being tough is good. Going against the heavens, unyielding and perseverant, that is of the highest caliber.

But there is a limit to everything, and in her view, Su Chen had overstepped that limit, to an unimaginable extent.

"Sister Nishang, I will cultivate diligently." Jun Luoying took a deep breath and felt reassured at last, saying with a smile, her pale face losing a bit of its pallor.

At the same time, unexpectedly, Heyue Nishang’s beautiful eyes lit up with a hint of surprise, followed by a smile: "Luoying, let’s not cultivate today. Let’s go to the Forest of Thousands Swords."

"The Forest of Thousands Swords?" Jun Luoying indeed knew about that place. As a sacred and deadly training ground for the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect, the Forest of Thousands Swords was quite famous.

Overall, the death rate in the Forest of Thousands Swords was even higher than the Fire Pool.

The Forest Formed by Ten Thousand Sword Intents, left behind by Heyue Nishang’s great-grandfather, was extremely terrifying. Entering the Forest of Thousands Swords might bring some progress or enlightenment, but more likely it would bring death.

"Su Chen has gone to the Forest of Thousands Swords," said Heyue Nishang with a smile. "He is smart, knowing that the life and death battle in over twenty days will be incredibly tough, he wants to increase his strength through the Forest of Thousands Swords."

Then, Heyue Nishang shook her head, "However, wanting to improve one’s strength through the Forest of Thousands Swords is very, very difficult."

"Then let’s hurry over," urged Jun Luoying, aware of the terror of the Forest of Thousands Swords.

At the same time.

The area in front of the Forest of Thousands Swords was already surrounded by a sea of people.

Ever since the life and death battle between Su Chen and Sui Chong and the others was set!!!

In these days, Su Chen had become the focal point of all focus. Even though he had been in Secluded Cultivation in his room, disciples kept watch over him.

Seeing Su Chen leave his room, heading towards the Forest of Thousands Swords, the news spread like surging waves through the Sea of Clouds, reaching every corner of the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect.

For a moment, the area in front of the Forest of Thousands Swords was packed with a sea of people.

This was completely different from the time Su Chen went to the Fire Pool.

Back then, Su Chen was virtually unknown. Now, his name was well known throughout the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect.

Among the sea of people, Liu Yu and Xiao Zhen were also present.

"Zhen’er, how are things between you and him?" Liu Yu asked teasingly while munching on a Spirit Fruit.

"Don’t mention him!" Xiao Zhen responded coldly, her voice filled with anger.

"Don’t want to talk about him? Then why come and watch him take on the Forest of Thousands Swords? Let’s just leave now!"

"You... Little Yu, I just came to see how he courts death!" Xiao Zhen said anxiously, huffing: "He is simply arrogant, conceited, and lacks self-awareness. Can he even handle the Forest of Thousands Swords now?! Even among the Core Disciples, more than half of them haven’t dared to tackle it to this day! Not to mention the Outer Sect! The death rate in the Forest of Thousands Swords is extremely high! Is he deliberately seeking death because he thinks that he is sure to die in the life and death battle in over twenty days and is just throwing in the towel?"

"Tsk, always denying your true feelings. You clearly like men who know the risks of facing a tiger yet still head towards the tiger’s mountain," Liu Yu said with a smile: "If he wasn’t so single-minded and recklessly audacious, you wouldn’t be interested in him."

"Who’s interested in him?" Xiao Zhen’s face turned a shade redder, and she furrowed her brow slightly.

"Fine, you’re not interested in him. But honestly, you shouldn’t get too deeply involved. He jokes with his life all the time; it wouldn’t be a surprise if one day he really loses it," Liu Yu said in earnest after finishing a Spirit Fruit and wiping her mouth. "Whether it’s the Forest of Thousands Swords or the life and death battle in over twenty days, he shouldn’t be so impulsive."

Xiao Zhen did not respond, but in her beautiful eyes, there was a mix of sighing, worry, and a touch of frustration.

In front of the Forest of Thousands Swords.

Su Chen stood with an indifferent expression, indifferent to the buzz of the sea of people behind him, as if he was deaf to all their comments.

Before Su Chen stood an elder!!!

A white-haired elder.

The elder’s strength was incredibly fearsome, far surpassing the likes of Zhang Liyi and Zhang Liqi in front of the Fire Pool.

This elder is at the Ancestor Emperor Realm, Fifth Level.

Su Chen has never seen anyone more powerful until now.

The elder seemed cold, or rather indifferent—a kind of tranquility that seems to have experienced every sorrow and joy.

"Leave now!" the elder suddenly said.

"Why?" Su Chen asked in return.

"You will die if you enter," the elder stated these five words.

Instantly, the sea of people behind Su Chen quieted down, and everyone’s face changed dramatically.

This elder guarding the Forest of Thousand Swords was notoriously tough and enigmatic in the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect. Furthermore, the elder was said to be a million years old, a true ancient relic.

Perhaps because he had guarded the Sword Forest for so long, he had developed a pair of strangely perceptive eyes.

Usually, when someone came to challenge the Forest of Thousand Swords, he would not stop them, nor would he offer any warnings, simply opening the forest in silence.

However, occasionally, maybe two or three times a year, perhaps out of kindness, boredom, or valuing talent, he would utter a word or two, usually to advise a disciple not to enter, for entering would undoubtedly lead to death.

It has been recorded that, in the past thousand years, there have been over three thousand four hundred disciples who were warned.

Of these, more than two thousand nine hundred heeded the elder’s advice and left after being warned.

The remaining five hundred disciples, however, insisted on entering.

Their outcome was—death!!!

Without exception.

All dead.

Not a single survivor.

Now that the elder spoke out saying Su Chen would die if he entered, no one would doubt it.

At this moment.

Above the Forest of Thousand Swords in the Heavens.

The Sect Leader, the twelve elders, and Heyue Nishang were all present, with Jun Luoying beside Heyue Nishang.

As the words ’you will die if you enter’ fell from the elder’s mouth.

Clearly, everyone, including the Sect Leader and Heyue Nishang, frowned.

The Fourth Elder spoke up: "Sect Leader, we must stop Su Chen now. Elder Fu Bo may not be the strongest, but his understanding of the Forest of Thousand Swords far surpasses ours. If he says Su Chen will certainly die if he goes in, then there can’t be any other outcome."

The other elders nodded gravely.

The Sect Leader looked even more concerned now, but he turned to Heyue Nishang: "Nishang, what do you think?"

Heyue Nishang was silent.

A moment later.

Heyue Nishang finally said, "Let him make his own choice."

The Sect Leader did not say anything further.

At the same second.

Below.

In front of the Forest of Thousand Swords, Su Chen, after receiving the words ’you will die if you enter’, showed no change in emotion, no change in expression, no change in gaze, no change in breathing.

Still, calm and detached, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he spoke: "I insist on going in."

[The excitement continues tomorrow, uh, it seems the update is a bit late today. But, there’s an extra Chapter, seven Chapters tonight. Haha... considering there’s an extra Chapter, don’t scold me, ah ah ah]
