Chapter 522 - 521: Chu Sheng’s Plan, Four Destinations
Don’t underestimate this time difference. Over the course of a year, someone inside the Secret Realm would gain an extra three months compared to the outside world!
And if one could enter the second level, the time flow would be even slower!
You even have the chance to comprehend the most mysterious of the ten great Laws: the Time Law!
Time is the ultimate resource! From this perspective, Secret Realm Zero was undeniably incredible!
「In the office.」
Gu Yuexi told Sun Deming about some of the precautions for Secret Realm Zero, the types of Demon Beasts and Spiritual Plants within, and even the method for entering the second level.
After hearing this, Sun Deming was both shocked and incredibly excited!
He naturally understood the significance of it all! With this Secret Realm, the students of Jing University would benefit immensely!
...
「Meanwhile.」
「Back in the dorm room.」
Chu Sheng began planning his next phase.
In fact, there were many things he wanted to do. It was just that before, they weren’t particularly important and hadn’t been prioritized.
’What things?’
First, in one month, he would go to the Witch Race to help them lift their curse. The main purpose of this trip was to see if he could gain control over the power of the Twelve Ancestral Witch Stone Statues.
Chu Sheng had a feeling that since those twelve stone statues could appear in the Divine Hall of Stagnation, they were definitely not simple! The power emanating from each one might even surpass the Emperor Realm!
After agreeing to the deal with Yao, Chu Sheng knew that she had only taken one of the stone statues. The other eleven belonged to other tribes of the Witch Race, so she couldn’t take them.
The second place to visit was the Xuanyuan Family! The Xuanyuan Family’s invitation was still lying in his Lifebound Space.
’Why the sudden desire to visit the Xuanyuan Family?’
Actually, when he met Xuanyuan Hong before, Chu Sheng had sensed a peculiar aura from him.
At the time, he didn’t know what it was, but after absorbing the Mosquito Daoist, he understood! Xuanyuan Hong’s body contained an incredibly dense ancient Bloodline aura.
This Bloodline aura was almost on par with the Mosquito Daoist’s clone.
In other words, there was a high probability that the Xuanyuan Family also possessed... a Bloodline Power that could trigger his [Bloodline Fusion Evolution]. They were very likely descendants of some Fierce Beast that existed since the Ancient Times!
’Sooner or later, I have to go absorb some of that!’
Besides these two, the third place Chu Sheng planned to go was the Outer Realm!
During his last seclusion at the Military Department headquarters, he had roughly figured out how to reverse-open an Alien Race space channel.
As soon as the opportunity arose, he and Gu Yuexi would pass through the channel and head to that military base in the rocky peaks of the Outer Realm.
’The warehouses there should still be full of Alien Race crystals... Outer Realm Source Crystals, that is. Besides, my "Imitation Alien Carapace Armor" is still there. I wonder what’s happened to it.’
The last place.
The Divine-level Secret Realm! The one that only a "Divine Son" could enter.
After the "Meridian Gate Incident," no one dared to contest the spot for Divine Son anymore, so it returned to Gu Yuexi.
Neither Chu Sheng nor Gu Yuexi knew much about this Divine-level Secret Realm.
However, if Secret Realm Zero, a "Demigod-level Secret Realm," was already this miraculous, then the Divine-level Secret Realm was bound to be extraordinary as well!
’There’s a chance to go, so there’s no reason not to! I just don’t know why the officials haven’t put it on the agenda yet.’
...
These four places were all on Chu Sheng’s itinerary for the near future.
For now, the trip to the Witch Race in one month’s time was the top priority.
First, because he had already made a promise. Second, if he could control the power of the Twelve Ancestral Witch Stone Statues, he would be much more confident about visiting the other places.
However, the trip to the Witch Race was still a month away.
’So, what was Chu Sheng going to do for the next month?’
’Hehe, he had one more place to go, and it was happening very soon.’
’Where?’
Chu Sheng flew up and used his Mental Power to control the computer, leaving a message for Gu Yuexi.
"This mosquito is heading out for a bit. I’ll bring you back something good."
The next second, he activated his Nether Vision and began searching for his target within a thirty-thousand-meter radius.
Soon, he found a place shielded by a powerful Mental Power field. Although Chu Sheng’s Nether Vision couldn’t see inside, it could see the exterior.
This manor, located in the suburbs of Kyoto City and occupying an entire mountain peak, was none other than—the Qin Family!
BZZZZ (’Found it.’)
With a flash, Chu Sheng’s figure disappeared from the dorm room.
...
In Great Xia, dozens of miles outside Kyoto City, stood a scenic mountain peak.
The area was a restricted zone, and the entire mountain was enveloped by a large-scale Array, making it completely inaccessible to ordinary people.
This was a manor belonging to the Qin Family—one of the Top Three Families among the Capital City’s Ten Great Clans.
「Outside the manor, in the dead of night.」
An inconspicuous mosquito quietly arrived. This mosquito was, of course, Chu Sheng.
He gazed at the massive Qin Manor, rubbing his hands together in excitement. ’Hehe, it’s been a while since I’ve gotten to be this sneaky.’
’So why was Chu Sheng at the Qin Family’s home?’
’To fulfill his deal with Qin Wudao, of course!’
The condition Qin Wudao had offered to be saved was... the entire Qin Mansion treasury. Of course, Chu Sheng wasn’t going to just take his word for it, so he had left a wisp of Divine Path True Flame inside his body.
However, even Qin Wudao didn’t have the authority to control the entire Qin Mansion treasury.
So, Chu Sheng still had to be sneaky.
He needed to sneak into the Qin Mansion, find Qin Wudao... then have him lead him to the Qin Mansion’s treasury, and after that... hehe, you know the rest.
’Absorb what I can! And carry away what I can’t!’
’My Qi Blood and Mental Power are both close to breaking through to the King Realm. I was just wondering where to go to absorb more, and now this is perfect!’
「Outside the Qin Manor.」
Chu Sheng crept closer and soon discovered the Qin Family’s outer Array. He could have used Instant Teleportation to get in, but that came with the risk of being detected.
So, he used his Realm-Breaking Claw to scratch a small hole in the Array and slipped through.
Following the connection to the drop of blood containing the Divine Path True Flame, Chu Sheng quickly located Qin Wudao.
As the direct descendant of the Qin Mansion, he had his own courtyard at the summit of the mountain.
It was now approaching midnight, but the lights in the courtyard were still on.
As Chu Sheng arrived at the courtyard entrance, he happened to see two men walking out—a middle-aged man and an old man.
Both of them had profound auras, especially the old man, who faintly exuded the presence of the Emperor Realm. Chu Sheng was slightly alarmed and hid under the eaves.
"Wudao’s injuries this time were too severe. His Cultivation is completely crippled. It will be difficult for him to ever walk the path of cultivation again."
"I’m afraid there’s only one way... and that’s Beast Taming!"
"And we must find him a Contracted Beast with an Emperor Realm or even Divine Level Bloodline... It’s so difficult."
The two of them left as they spoke. After walking out the gate, the old man looked back and frowned in the direction of the eaves, but then he shook his head and continued on his way.
Chu Sheng let out a sigh of relief. A thought struck him... ’The Qin Family is also planning to find a Demon Beast with a top-tier Bloodline? Maybe I can use their power to my advantage!’
’But for now, I should go find that guy Qin Wudao.’
Like the wind, Chu Sheng’s figure drifted toward Qin Wudao’s room.
’Qin Mansion treasury, this mosquito is here!’
