Chapter 539: Chapter 233: Chen Xuan Breaks Through to Grotto Heaven

Chu Shanhe’s curiosity was piqued, and he reached out to grab it.

But the moment he touched the tiny hall, his expression changed.

Despite his strength at the Second Layer of Dharma, he couldn’t move it in the slightest.

"It’s this heavy?"

He was aghast.

Refusing to believe it, Chu Shanhe unleashed his True Essence. An earthy yellow light flared around him as he shot out both hands to seize the hall. But just like before, he couldn’t move it no matter how much strength he used.

"Let me try."

Feng Wuji’s interest was also piqued. He gathered his power at the Ninth Layer of Dharma and reached for the hall. He grasped it firmly and began to heave with all his might.

But even with his strength at the Ninth Layer of Dharma, he couldn’t budge it at all.

This shocked him, forcing him to withdraw his hand.

"Incredible, absolutely incredible! Chen Xuan, you’ve struck it rich!"

Feng Wuji looked shocked. "Besides being covered in carved legacies, this hall is definitely a treasure in its own right," he said. "Even in the depths of the darkness, something like this would be extremely rare!"

"That’s right, I can feel it too."

A glint appeared in Chen Xuan’s eyes and a smile touched his lips. "And it seems that as the hall gets bigger, its weight increases as well."

’Never mind anything else, this thing would be devastating for an ambush.’

Chen Xuan had no doubt that this thing could even crush a Cave Heaven Realm master to death.

After all, its weight defied all common sense.

CHK!

Just then.

Feng Wuji’s expression suddenly shifted. He had sensed something. With a flip of his hand, a cyan Jade Pendant appeared in his palm.

The Jade Pendant was flickering and pulsing erratically.

Feng Wuji’s face lit up with joy. "It’s a message from my master!" he exclaimed.

"Oh?"

Chen Xuan and Chu Shanhe immediately looked over, curious.

’News from Gu Yuntian?’

’Has he escaped?’

Feng Wuji immediately channeled his True Essence into the pendant and asked, "Master, where are you now? How are you doing?"

"I’m fine. I’ll be returning soon."

Gu Yuntian’s voice came from the Jade Pendant. "How are things on your end? Have the various ancient villages taken the opportunity to cause trouble?"

"They did. The Qin family Village, Sai family Village, and the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons joined forces to attack and triggered a dark tide. The Qin family Village has been wiped out, and the Sai family Village and Cave of Ten Thousand Demons have fled. But the dark tide won’t recede anytime soon. We’ll probably have to wait for a while."

Feng Wuji replied immediately.

Although Chen Xuan had pushed back a good deal of the dark tide...

...the shallow darkness was simply too vast—practically boundless. There were still many areas they hadn’t explored.

Compared to the entirety of the shallow darkness, the portion Chen Xuan had pushed back was nothing.

"You wiped out the Qin family Village?"

A hint of fluctuation entered Gu Yuntian’s voice as he asked doubtfully, "Could it be that you’ve broken through?"

"Not quite. I’ve met a young brother over here named Chen Xuan. It was thanks to his strength that we were able to eradicate the Qin family Village. He’s the one who destroyed Qin Xiong of the Qin family Village, the Old Stone Man of the Sai family Village, and the Black Peng King of the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons. He even killed that ancient god of the Qin family Village."

Feng Wuji said with a smile.

"Oh? Chen Xuan?"

Gu Yuntian’s voice was filled with astonishment.

He had heard this name more than once from the Lice Monk and the Crooked-mouth Daoist.

’But hasn’t he yet to reach the Dharma Aspect realm?’

"Could it be that Chen Xuan is already in the Cave Heaven Realm?"

Gu Yuntian asked.

"Not yet, but he’s close."

Feng Wuji replied, "By the way, Master, when are you coming back? Rumor has it you were trapped, with only a slim chance of survival..."

"Soon. I’m on my way back now."

Gu Yuntian’s voice continued, "The Venerable Divine Hall seems to have broken through the dark membrane and gone inside. I’m worried some creatures from the depths of the darkness might have followed it through."

"That’s exactly what happened! We encountered the Venerable Divine Hall, and we also ran into those creatures from the depths of the darkness!"

Feng Wuji’s tone grew stern. "I’ll tell you the details when you get back. How much longer until you arrive?"

"Three to five days at the earliest, seven to eight days at the latest."

Gu Yuntian said.

"Alright. I’ll give you the details when you’re here."

Feng Wuji said.

"Wuji, be wary of the other ancient villages. Many of them originate from the depths of the darkness. Now that those creatures from the depths have entered, they will most likely contact them. I’m afraid more trouble will stir!"

Gu Yuntian’s grave voice transmitted through.

"Okay, I’ll be careful!"

Feng Wuji replied.

"Mmm!"

A response came from the Jade Pendant, and its light quickly faded.

Feng Wuji looked exhilarated. He clapped his hands together and said joyfully, "We’re safe! My master is coming back! Once Old Deng returns, it doesn’t matter what experts they have—they’ll be useless. We won’t have to worry even if the ancient villages team up!"

"City Lord Feng, what realm is your master actually in?"

Chu Shanhe asked curiously, his eyes glinting.

"What realm? Even I don’t know."

Feng Wuji shook his head lightly. "If I had to describe it, it would be ’unfathomable’! Just imagine him as powerful as you possibly can, then imagine him even more powerful than that. I once saw him cripple a Cave Heaven Realm master with a single palm strike!"

"Crippled a Cave Heaven Realm master with a single palm strike?"

Chu Shanhe and Chen Xuan were both stunned.

A chill went down their spines.

HISS!

’How could someone be so terrifying!’

"Chen Xuan, Chu Shanhe, I’ll arrange for a place for you to rest. When my master gets back, I’ll make sure he rewards you handsomely!"

Feng Wuji said with a laugh.

He then personally arranged for Chen Xuan and Chu Shanhe’s accommodations.

...

「At this very moment.」

The entire shallow darkness was in an uproar.

As the Outer Saint Level masters returned one after another, Chen Xuan’s fame undoubtedly reached an even more incredible level.

Nearly every faction had learned of Chen Xuan’s deeds.

The firsthand accounts from those Outer Saint Level masters, in particular, caused a massive stir among countless people.

"Yama Chen is Yama Chen, after all. He’s simply heaven-defying!"
