“What did you say?”
“Chen Fan is preparing to enter the Blood Abyss Mysterious Realm this very moment?”
In the palace, Emperor Qian looked at Du Wenqi who had hurriedly returned with an incredulous expression.
His intention was to draw Chen Fan in.
Even if Chen Fan could only serve as an envoy in Da Qian for more than a year, it was nothing.
However, it did not occur to him that Chen Fan could not even wait for this amount of time.
But ……
That was the Blood Abyss Secret Realm.
With only a year’s time, how was it possible to want to be in the Blood Abyss Mysterious Realm, hunting blood beasts and seizing a hundred blood crystals?
Throughout the ages, above this continent, there were few martial artists as radical as Chen Fan.
“Perhaps, he doesn’t want to delay for another five years.” Du Wenqi spoke.
The Blood Abyss Secret Realm opened every five years.
If Chen Fan waited until the next time the Blood Abyss Gate opened to enter, he would have to stay in the Blood Abyss Secret Realm for five years before he could enter the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
The martial arts path was difficult.
The immortal path was even harder.
A delay of five years could leave you stranded on the way to stepping into the Immortal Path.
……
Flying Flower County.
A seventeen or eighteen year old girl was watching several young boys and girls practicing martial arts.
The young girl was none other than He Yun.
Only at a certain moment, her gaze drifted past the several young boys and girls and looked into the distant unknown.
Just this morning, the news that Chen Fan had punched and killed Dar Jia in Qingyang County had spread into Fei Hua County.
He Yun sighed, “In less than two years, from knowing nothing about martial arts, to becoming an external innate, with only a dozen punches, he killed the Golden Wolf Country innate expert Dar Jia ……”
Nearly a year had passed without seeing her, and the kind of adoration she had felt for Chen Fan in the beginning seemed to have dissipated.
Just hearing Chen Fan’s name again, she couldn’t help but recall back then, the scene when she was with Chen Fan.
That man who seemed to be plain and ordinary, who just often bought her all kinds of snacks and whom she called Uncle, surprisingly, in such a short period of time, it was as if he had stepped into the clouds.
And she was no longer a worldly person.
“Stepping into the realm of the innate, it shouldn’t take long for you to enter the Blood Abyss secret realm right ……” He Yun still clearly remembered the words of ‘there are immortals in this world’ that Chen Fan had said to her back then.
“Sister Xiao Yun ……”
At this time, a thin figure, holding a scroll, ran from the distance, “There’s a big brother who said for me to give this to you.”
“This is ……”
He Yun took the scroll.
“Wow!”
The scroll unfolded.
A picture of the rising sun and purple energy descending from the sky appeared on top of the scroll.
This was clearly a visualization picture.
And it seemed to contain both a true qi cultivation method as well as a sword technique.
He Yun only swept a glance and felt a point of familiarity from it.
“This is …… a supreme technique, as well as a supreme sword art, created with the Purple Extreme True Cloud Technique, and the Purple Extreme Sword Technique as its roots?”
Without having to ask, He Yun already knew who had sent this diagram.
She raised her head and looked into the distance.
Only the distance was empty.
……
“Buns for sale.”
A familiar scent hit his face as Chen Fan walked lightly into White Stone City.
At this moment, it was as if there was no difference between White Stone City and when he first came to White Stone City.
A year ago, the Blood Dagger Martial School was rampant in White Stone City, only affecting the two major gangs, the three major families, and the major martial arts schools in the city.
The ordinary residents of the city were not affected.
“This is the place.”
Chen Fan strolled around the city and within a short while, he arrived in front of a martial arts center.
“Iron Body Martial Hall ……”
Chen Fan looked at the name of the martial arts center and a smile appeared on his face.
He then took a step and walked into the martial arts center.
In the martial arts hall, Lu Tingyi was holding one hand behind his back and one hand in front of him, allowing a teenager, who was constantly attacking him. After the Blood Sword Martial Hall was swept away by Chen Fan that day, he and Wang Tie Bone, both of them, returned to White Stone City.
Without the targeting of the Blood Sword Martial Hall, the two quickly rebuilt the Iron Body Martial Hall.
“Kick off!”
Chen Fan stepped into the martial arts center.
Brushing ……
All of a sudden, a gaze fell on him.
“Chen …… Chen Fan?”
Lu Tingyi was startled, just as he had just turned around, he recognized Chen Fan.
……
“Gone.”
Chen Fan was in the White Stone City, and after catching up with Lu Tingyi, he left.
Before leaving, he likewise left behind the Purple Extreme True Body Technique that he had realized using the Iron Body Technique as his foundation.
Afterward, he traveled all the way north.
It was only when he was leaving White Stone City that he glanced back.
The mortals of White Stone City were as usual.
But from what Lu Tingyi had said, when the Blood Sword Martial Hall had united with the Red Blood Gang to destroy the Black Tiger Gang, it had followed by destroying the Red Blood Gang as well.
At the same time, the Zhao Family and the Qian Family of the three major martial arts families in White Stone City were also gone.
Now there was only one Sun Family left.
“This is the Jianghu ……”
……
There were a total of five entrances to the Blood Abyss Secret Realm.
One of them was located in the middle of Qianjing City.
It was just that that entrance, a long time ago, had been blocked by the Qianwu Jade Jewel that had suddenly appeared.
Since then, martial artists from this continent, who wanted to enter the Blood Abyss Mysterious Realm again, could only choose the other four entrances.
And the other four entrances were located in the four directions of the continent.
Among them was the Golden Wolf Country, which had a Blood Abyss entrance.
The one Chen Fan went to at this moment was the Blood Abyss entrance located in the Golden Wolf Country.
“There is always a strange feeling.”
Chen Fan flipped through a booklet as he hurried along.
This booklet was the same one that Emperor Qian had given him.
Along the way, he found some blood and smeared it on it, and the booklet revealed a single text.
These words, roughly recorded some of the hidden secrets of this world.
On top of that, there was some information about the Immortal Cultivation World on it.
All of this information was passed back by martial artists from the Da Qian Dynasty who had entered the Immortal Cultivation World.
“Before this world, there were actually only Immortal Cultivators and no martial artists.”
Chen Fan muttered.
According to the description of the manual in his hand, this continent of theirs had suddenly appeared a few thousand years ago.
It was also after that that martial artists appeared in this world.
Before that, mortals in this world who didn’t have spiritual roots could only be mortals for the rest of their lives, never being able to embark on the path to immortality.
It was only after the appearance of martial artists that mortals were given one more possibility to enter immortality with martial arts.
“I wonder what quality of spirit root I will be able to harbor when I reach the Immortal Cultivation Realm ……”
Chen Fan’s gaze brightened.
According to the manual’s description, Immortal Cultivator’s Spiritual Roots had many qualities such as Lower Grade, Middle Grade, Upper Grade, and Extreme Grade.
At the same time, spiritual roots also had numerous attributes such as gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Martial artists like him who came from the Blood Abyss Continent, when they entered the Immortal Cultivation Realm and contained their spiritual roots, the major sects would select among them.
The quality of the spirit root was the key to determining whether they would join a major Immortal Cultivation Sect or become a casual cultivator.
“Qi Practicing, Foundation Building, Jindan ……” Chen Fan scanned through the various realms of Immortal Cultivators recorded in the manual, his eyes showing anticipation.
In this world, Qi Practicing Stage Immortal Cultivators had the same lifespan of one hundred and twenty years as Innate Realm martial artists.
Foundation Establishment Stage Immortal Cultivators, on the other hand, could live for two hundred years.
The Jindan Stage Immortal Cultivators, who were further up the ladder, were able to live up to five hundred years.
