Following Wei Chen, the Ying Qin Supreme Deity gradually found his heart growing heavier with murderous intent. Anyone who posed a threat, or might pose one in the future, should be eliminated early to prevent them from gaining strength. This was a lesson learned from Wei Chen, and he had absorbed it well.
Wei Chen transmitted a message, "Calm down. Bu Yun still has some value to us. Let's follow him and move at his pace."
"Understood." The Ying Qin Supreme Deity nodded in agreement. The two of them carefully trailed behind Bu Yun, treading cautiously.
As they ventured deeper, both Wei Chen and the Ying Qin Supreme Deity could distinctly feel the sword energy and blade force swirling in the void becoming increasingly fierce.
Bu Yun, leading the way, began to struggle as he needed to control a large amount of Divine Power to shield himself. In contrast, Wei Chen and the Ying Qin Supreme Deity merely felt a prickling sensation on their skin; their bodies were strong enough not to require Divine Power for protection. Wei Chen didn't need it at all, and the Ying Qin Supreme Deity was also quite powerful now; the sword energy and blade force posed no harm to him.
"My lord, that stone structure ahead was built by the Supreme God of Surging Clouds. He usually refines elixirs there," Bu Yun said, glancing back at Wei Chen and the Ying Qin Supreme Deity.
A glint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes; while he could deceive the Ying Qin Supreme Deity, he could not escape Wei Chen's formidable Mental Strength.
"Heh, what a death wish! Bu Yun has no idea that I possess a keen sense for the Shennong Ding. I can clearly feel whether it's there or not," Wei Chen quietly communicated to the Ying Qin Supreme Deity, his tone laced with mockery.
The Ying Qin Supreme Deity replied, "Master, if that's the case, then that house might be dangerous!"
"What danger could there be? With our current strength, we fear nothing," Wei Chen said dismissively.
The Ying Qin Supreme Deity shook his head. "Master, it's better to be cautious. If there are any traps inside and Bu Yun pulls something from outside, it could lead to trouble. We're already this far; there's no need to keep Bu Yun around."
After hearing the Ying Qin Supreme Deity's words, Wei Chen found some merit in his reasoning.
He turned to Bu Yun and called out, "Bu Yun, what do you think this is?"
Bu Yun turned around only to see a silver fist charged with a powerful and violent aura crashing toward his forehead.
In an instant, Bu Yun was reduced to a pulp.
Poor Bu Yun, he was still thinking that when Wei Chen and Ying Qin Supreme Deity entered the Stone House, he would have a chance to act. Little did he expect that under Ying Qin Supreme Deity's instigation, Wei Chen would be so decisive.
With a single strike, the gap in strength was too great; Wei Chen felt no pressure at all.
Wei Chen and Ying Qin Supreme Deity approached the Stone House. Ying Qin Supreme Deity asked, "Master, should we go inside?"
"Of course, having come this far, we should take a look. However, we don't need to go in; we can just destroy this house," Wei Chen replied with a smile. He stepped back slightly and unleashed a Palm Power that brought the house crashing down.
He controlled his strength well; while the house fell, everything inside remained intact.
"Oh? A formation?" Wei Chen chuckled. Bu Yun thought he could play tricks on him with a formation—what a dream.
Inside the house, it was empty, but at the very center was a formation of some kind. Its specific function was not immediately clear.
"Master, what is that formation for?" Ying Qin Supreme Deity asked.
Wei Chen picked up a stone and tossed it into the Formation Array. In an instant, the formation seemed to be provoked, spinning faster and expanding several times its size, enveloping the area that originally belonged to the house. The next moment, countless fierce sword energies and blade edges spiraled out, ruthlessly shredding the air...
"The power isn't bad, but even if we accidentally touched the formation while entering, it wouldn't matter," Wei Chen said with a smile as he looked at Ying Qin Supreme Deity.
Both he and Ying Qin Supreme Deity were strong enough; such a level of formation posed no threat to them.
However, Wei Chen thought that anyone entering this Sword Absolute Blade Secret Realm who unwittingly stepped into the house would likely perish inside if they were of an ordinary Sixth Level Divine Realm—there was no doubt about it.
Wei Chen felt confident because he could analyze the situation easily. After all, this was a secret realm within the Endless Divine Realm. Even though the name Sword Absolute Blade Secret Realm sounded intimidating, it was merely a secret realm within the Endless Divine Realm. How strong could it really be? No matter how great the threat, it couldn't withstand Wei Chen's Eleventh Level Divine Realm's formidable combat power. Ying Qin Supreme Deity's strength was sufficient as well.
"Master, I feel something is off about this place; we shouldn't linger here too long. Let's find Shennong Ding and get out," Ying Qin Supreme Deity said seriously.
Wei Chen furrowed his brow and asked, "Mysterious? What do you mean specifically?"
Ying Qin Supreme Deity replied, "Within this secret realm, the spatial barriers are somewhat chaotic. In other words, there are many types of secret realms within this one, and if we're not careful, we could get sucked into one."
"Types of secret realms? A secret realm within a secret realm?" Wei Chen was somewhat surprised; such a phenomenon was indeed rare, and he had never encountered it before.
Ying Qin Supreme Deity nodded and said, "Inside the Sword Absolute Blade Secret Realm, the aura is very disordered. Different secret realms release different auras; we need to be cautious."
"Even if we enter a certain type of secret realm, with your spatial traversal ability, you should be able to get us out, right?" Wei Chen looked at Ying Qin Supreme Deity and said with a grin. Regardless of what happened to Ying Qin Supreme Deity, the bold Wei Chen was not afraid.
Ying Qin Supreme Deity said, "I can indeed get us out. However, my left eyelid has been twitching. Master, please listen to me this time."
After hearing Ying Qin Supreme Deity's words, an ominous premonition began to stir in Wei Chen's heart. This feeling arose inexplicably; perhaps it was contagious from Ying Qin Supreme Deity?
"Alright then, let's fight our way through," Wei Chen nodded in agreement with Ying Qin Supreme Deity's suggestion. He summoned two orbs of Stellar Power to envelop both himself and Ying Qin Supreme Deity as they headed toward the direction of Shennong Ding's aura.
This was Ying Qin Supreme Deity's first encounter with Stellar Power, and he deeply felt its strength and purity. He sensed that the Stellar Power surrounding him was gentle yet firm, pure yet vast—far beyond the Divine Power found in the Endless Divine Realm.
After walking briskly for a while, Shennong Ding appeared before Wei Chen.
The place where the Supreme God of Surging Clouds refined elixirs posed little danger; there were also plenty of herbs scattered around. Without hesitation, Wei Chen swept Shennong Ding and all the herbs into the True God World, along with some finished elixirs that he collected as well.
"Let Agricultural Sovereign study these thoroughly and strive to refine elixirs that enhance strength. If we can produce ten million Fifth Level Divine Pinnacle Realm experts and elevate them all to Sixth Level Divine Realm, that should be enough to deal with the lower-tier forces of Bloodshed Shop."
Wei Chen's thoughts were quite grand; ten million was truly just a dream.
Having obtained Shennong Ding, Wei Chen and Ying Qin Supreme Deity retraced their steps and soon arrived at the exit.
“Ying Qin Supreme Deity, you should return and guard Jingyun Peak. I still need to go back and take a look,” Wei Chen said calmly.
“Master, no! You can’t take risks. If you really must go, then I’ll accompany you,” Ying Qin Supreme Deity urged anxiously.
“No need,” Wei Chen waved his hand. “This is an order. Get lost; I can handle this alone without you getting in my way.”
With that, Wei Chen turned and walked away. Ying Qin Supreme Deity stood at the entrance, torn and conflicted, unsure whether to follow or stay behind.
In the blink of an eye, Wei Chen had already gone far, and Ying Qin Supreme Deity could no longer sense his presence.
“The Sword Absolute Blade Secret Realm does have its wonders, but it’s far from dangerous.”
“That fool Ying Qin Supreme Deity is too timid; having him around would only be a hassle.”
Wei Chen shook off Ying Qin Supreme Deity and walked for a while when he suddenly recalled that Zhang Shi’s Thunder Sword Sect was founded by someone who practiced the Thunder Sword Technique. That person had left in search of stronger swordsmanship and eventually arrived at the Sword Absolute Blade Secret Realm to seek clues. Perhaps, if luck was on his side, he might even encounter that person or even meet Killing God Senior’s disciple!
“Killing God Senior, I’m currently in the Sword Absolute Blade Secret Realm. Your disciple, the one who adapted your Destruction of the World Thirteen Swords into a sword technique, might be here,” Wei Chen communicated with Killing God Senior.
“Open the passage and let me out,” Killing God Senior replied.
“Sure thing.” Wei Chen smiled as he opened the spatial passage of his True God World, and Killing God Senior instantly flew out.
Killing God Senior took the form of Xiaoxiang Divine Sword; his body was that of a treasured sword, exuding an incredible strength that was simply extraordinary!
Killing God Senior looked around and said, “There is indeed a presence here.”
“Really? Hahaha! Senior, I wish you success in meeting your disciple! Since I’m also considered your disciple, doesn’t that make that fellow my senior brother?” Wei Chen laughed heartily.
"Killing God Senior" said, "He practices a pure sword technique. I've sparred with you; his Mental Strength isn't strong enough to cultivate the Mental Attack Technique known as the Destruction of the World Thirteen Swords."
"I understand," Wei Chen nodded in acknowledgment.
"Therefore, our relationship can't be considered a true master-disciple bond." Killing God Senior's expression darkened slightly. Wei Chen speculated that perhaps Killing God Senior didn't recognize that senior brother's status because he hadn't cultivated the Mental Attack Technique, but that senior brother surely regarded Killing God Senior as his master.
Wei Chen said, "Senior, regardless of whether there's an official title of master and disciple, the bond of mentorship is what truly matters. You can't deny that."
"It doesn't matter anymore. Let's go see. That person is indeed talented. If he is really within this Sword Absolute Blade Secret Realm, we'll have another ally against the Bloodshed Shop. His strength should be more than enough to eliminate a Twelfth Level Deity from the Bloodshed Shop," Killing God Senior replied calmly.
"Killing God Senior, can't you sense your senior brother's aura?" Wei Chen asked.
Killing God Senior replied, "A little, but I can't determine when the aura was left behind."
"That's fine; let's search for him," Wei Chen said.
Under Killing God Senior's guidance, Wei Chen followed eagerly, filled with anticipation at the prospect of meeting his senior brother.
Wei Chen was very interested in that yet-to-be-seen senior brother. Although Killing God Senior's senior brother had weak Mental Strength, he was able to adapt the Destruction of the World Thirteen Swords into a true sword technique. That skill was undoubtedly impressive.
With so many sword techniques in the Destruction of the World Thirteen Swords, what level of precision would be required to execute them using a sword instead of relying solely on Mental Strength?
