"Upon first engaging in martial arts, he displayed extraordinary talent. With the cultivation of Qi Boundary, he fought against warriors of the Alchemy Realm and remained undefeated! After Zhen Zhi in the Alchemy Realm, his strength became even more unfathomable. In summary, he is a figure of unparalleled Heavenly Pride."
In his mind, Fang Chen quietly murmured the information relayed by Zuo Zongshou.
This was a formidable rival!
Just from the information received from Zuo Zongshou, this person was already quite difficult to deal with. To battle a warrior of the Alchemy Realm while at the Qi Boundary and remain undefeated is not something just anyone can achieve. Although Fang Chen could easily accomplish this, and even do far better than this so-called Young Master of the Thick Earth Sect, after all, he often fought against warriors of the Alchemy Realm at the Qi Boundary and did not merely remain undefeated; he won battles and even directly killed them!
The difference between killing and remaining undefeated is not trivial. If they were in the same realm, Fang Chen could easily eliminate this so-called Young Master of the Thick Earth Sect. However, at present, his cultivation had not yet reached the Alchemy Realm, while the opponent had already reached the Peak of the Transformation Realm. The vast gap in their cultivation levels was enough to erase any existing differences between them, perhaps even surpassing it.
"Strange land? Good stuff?" Fang Chen sneered inwardly.
Within the Colorful Sacred Realm, martial artists from the same sect would fight to the death for opportunities like Supreme Creation, while those from different sects often engaged in bloody battles upon meeting. Even if what Qian Sheng said was true—that their side's strength made it difficult to secure treasures from that strange land—they would never allow others to benefit without a fight.
Moreover, and more importantly, with Fang Chen's exceptional soul sensing ability, he could clearly feel a hint of unusual soul fluctuations when Qian Sheng spoke these words. That aura was definitely not normal.
Fang Chen remained silent, and beside him, Zuo Zongshou also did not speak but inadvertently blocked Qian Sheng's retreat.
This somewhat bizarre situation caused Qian Sheng, who had previously ignored Fang Chen entirely and focused all his attention on Zuo Zongshou, to change his expression slightly. For the first time, he truly turned his gaze toward Fang Chen.
"This junior from Jincheng Sect, may I ask how you feel?" Qian Sheng asked amiably, adopting a very humble posture. Clearly, under Fang Chen's deliberate display of a killing intent and severe aura, Qian Sheng had automatically included him within Jincheng Sect.
A smile suddenly appeared on Fang Chen's indifferent face as he waved his hand casually and said, "Lead the way."
"Lead the way?" Qian Sheng was taken aback.
"We are your partners! Come on, take us to find Xiao Xingkong at the place you discovered!" Fang Chen smiled warmly. "We can fight side by side."
"That sounds great!" Looking at Fang Chen's smiling face, Qian Sheng felt relieved. A hint of disdain flashed subtly in his eyes; however, his smile grew even more brilliant. He waved his sleeve and led Fang Chen and Zuo Zongshou away into the distance.
"This guy probably has ulterior motives; should we really follow him?" The voice of Zuo Zongshou echoed in Fang Chen's mind.
"I know," Fang Chen's response surprised Zuo Zongshou. "However, that place should have what I need."
After spending half a month in Thunder Abyss without discovering his Supreme Creation, Fang Chen experienced that state of enlightenment once again. He sensed that his Supreme Creation should be located in the extraordinary land mentioned by Qian Sheng. Because of this, Fang Chen, who originally planned to eliminate the ill-intentioned Qian Sheng, instantly changed his mind.
...
Thunder Abyss.
In a gray and murky swamp area, lightning struck intermittently. In this chaotic water region, there were patches of wetland.
A group of four warriors from the Thick Earth Sect, marked by the emblem of the earth, gathered on a slippery dirt slope resembling a small island, their expressions grim as they looked ahead.
Several hundred meters in front of them, the lightning was noticeably more frenzied, filling the area with chaotic and distorted electric currents. Bolts of lightning fell from the dark sky like a curtain of beads, all pouring into the area filled with Frenzy fluctuations.
"Have the corpses been dealt with over there?" Xiao Xingkong stood beneath a giant umbrella.
"There shouldn't be any problems. In the past half month, six people have died nearby, and we haven't been able to truly enter," one person replied.
"That's obvious! If it were that easy to enter, I would have gone in long ago instead of going through all this trouble to find sacrifices!" Xiao Xingkong snorted, his expression somewhat gloomy.
He gazed far into the distance at the area completely covered by lightning, where thunderous roars echoed. The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and deep within his dark pupils lay a profound sense of dread.
Xiao Xingkong, the Young Master of Thick Earth Sect, was different from the three towering disciples beside him who resembled giants. He was taller than an average person but had a well-proportioned physique that did not appear bulky; instead, he had a slender appearance.
The attire he wore, which looked similar to that of the other three members of Thick Earth Sect, was actually quite different. His clothing was made from a mysterious material that continuously emitted warm waves of Spiritual Energy. This Spiritual Energy was absorbed by his body like fresh air through every pore.
He was the only one among them who could gradually recover his Dan Qi without constantly supplementing it with spirit stones.
"Why hasn't Qian Sheng returned yet?" one person frowned and asked.
"Shouldn't have found anyone. Recently, we've been wandering around, and the few people we've encountered have all been invited in, ending up as sacrifices," another person replied. "There shouldn't be any living people nearby. Moreover, within the Thunder Abyss, dangers abound, so those who enter are destined to be few."
The four of them spoke while gazing at the chaotic lightning zone hundreds of meters away, their brows furrowed.
After a long while.
Xiao Xingkong suddenly trembled, raising his head and fixing his gaze on the distant sky where Qi Energy fluctuations were clearly emanating. His eyes lit up, and he suddenly laughed, "Qian Sheng has brought in new sacrifices! Not bad, there are two."
"Wonderful!" The other three chuckled in response.
A few minutes later.
Following Qian Sheng, Fang Chen and Zuo Zongshou arrived at this marshy area and immediately spotted Xiao Xingkong and his group of four.
"Young Master has been waiting for you two for quite some time," Qian Sheng said, putting away his ingratiating smile and straightening his back.
All along the way, Qian Sheng had been cautious, making every effort to lure Fang Chen and Zuo Zongshou to this place. He was afraid that Zuo Zongshou and Fang Chen would turn back midway and run away.
After all, unlike the three who had previously fallen victim to Qian Sheng's schemes, Fang Chen, who had not yet broken through to the Alchemy Realm, was somewhat overlooked by Qian Sheng. However, Zuo Zongshou was different; facing Zuo Zongshou at the Peak of the Transformation Realm, Qian Sheng knew that if he failed to lure them this time, it would be impossible to forcibly take them away as he had done before.
Although both were at the Peak of the Transformation Realm, Qian Sheng sensed a strong aura of danger from Zuo Zongshou. Moreover, he was a disciple of the Jincheng Sect. Even one-on-one, Qian Sheng lacked confidence in defeating Zuo Zongshou. Fortunately, this time the luring went smoothly; Fang Chen and Zuo Zongshou seemed completely unaware and obediently followed him here.
"Young Master!" Qian Sheng called out loudly as he gradually slowed down his pace, a meaningful smile appearing on his face.
Seeing Xiao Xingkong and his own people made Qian Sheng finally relax completely; he no longer worried about being exposed by Fang Chen and the others and then fleeing. While calling out, Qian Sheng even subtly shifted his body slightly behind Fang Chen and Zuo Zongshou, his gaze flickering.
"Disciples of the Jincheng Sect, welcome!" Xiao Xingkong nearby glanced over briefly and immediately smiled warmly. His gaze fell on Zuo Zongshou as he said with a smile, "I've heard that the Jincheng Sect is renowned for its unmatched severe attack power; seeing it today is indeed extraordinary."
Like Qian Sheng, when Xiao Xingkong saw Fang Chen and Zuo Zongshou together, he also overlooked Fang Chen who had not reached the Alchemy Realm.
"Thank you for the compliment." Zuo Zongshou forced a cold smile on his face and asked loudly, "Brother Xiao, I heard you discovered a remarkable place and are looking for partners?"
Due to years of sword practice, most people from the Jincheng Sect were sword enthusiasts with cold personalities. In the eyes of Xiao Xingkong and his group, Zuo Zongshou's current demeanor seemed perfectly normal.
"That's right." Xiao Xingkong nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Come over for a talk."
Zuo Zongshou glanced at Fang Chen beside him.
"This young brother is also a disciple of the Jincheng Sect?" Xiao Xingkong asked in surprise. "To be able to venture into the Colorful Sacred Realm without reaching the Alchemy Realm, this young brother is truly extraordinary. Brother Zuo, could you introduce him to the outer sect?"
"My junior brother Fang Chen is at the peak of Qi Boundary and will soon break through to the Alchemy Realm. Don't be fooled by his current status; his strength is indeed not weak," Zuo Zongshou said with a frown.
"So he is Brother Zuo's junior brother." Xiao Xingkong smiled, but his gaze towards Fang Chen immediately lost interest. The others also chuckled mockingly. In their view, Zuo Zongshou's words were merely an attempt to cover up; someone who hadn't even reached the Alchemy Realm couldn't possibly be that strong.
Faced with their mocking laughter, Fang Chen's face turned red, anger simmering beneath the surface as if he had been publicly humiliated. Noticing this, Xiao Xingkong completely shifted his gaze away from Fang Chen.
"Come over for a talk, come over for a talk," Xiao Xingkong continued to wave his hand.
