Chapter 227 : Chapter 227
Chapter 227 Xuanhuang Stone Marrow!
【After hearing what you said, Chen Tian was indeed frightened by you for a moment.】
【However, Chen Tian quickly shook his head.】
【“All right, I understand.”】
【In the end, Chen Tian brushed you off with a few perfunctory words before leaving with the others.】
【As you watched Chen Tian’s departing figure, it was obvious that he was unwilling to believe you.】
【You knew that what you had said was indeed far too unbelievable. On top of that, there was no Heavenly Secrets Pavilion in the Qingxuan Realm, so the Human Race here knew nothing about the Heavenly Secrets Art.】
【The people of the Hope Zone were not like those in the Sword Pavilion of Youzhou, where the Sword Pavilion Master and Zi You both held the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion in awe.】
【Still, since Chen Tian was unwilling to believe you, you did not really care.】
【There was only so much you could do. As for what happened in the end, that was no longer your concern.】
【Four years later, at worst, you could go hide in the Fallen Immortal Abyss and return only after the people of Heavenly Emperor City had left.】
【You certainly did not intend to stay here and wait to be wiped out in one sweep by Heavenly Emperor City joining forces with the Eldritch Race.】
【After returning to your residence, you and Xuanyuan Tianji prepared to resume your secluded cultivation.】
【Not long after this breakthrough, Chen Shu came to your residence.】
【When Chen Shu saw you, there was a trace of apology on her face.】
【Chen Shu told you that her brother Chen Tian had always been like that.】
【You glanced at Chen Shu and waved your hand, indicating that it did not matter.】
【“By the way, is that thing you said true?”】
【Chen Shu looked at you solemnly. After hearing from her brother Chen Tian about what you had said, she had immediately come over to ask you about it.】
【“Naturally. It is just that none of you seem willing to believe it.”】
【“I believe you!”】
【You looked at Chen Shu in surprise and saw that she was staring at you with complete seriousness.】
【“You do not think I am just spouting nonsense over something like this?”】
【Chen Shu pressed her lips together.】
【Chen Shu told you that although what you said sounded unbelievable, for some reason, she felt in her heart that you were right.】
【After hearing that, you could not help sighing inwardly.】
【You looked at Chen Shu and told her that four years later, when the people of Heavenly Emperor City arrived, she could avoid disaster by hiding inside the Ancient Emperor Ruins.】
【After saying that, you effectively showed her the door. You were about to enter seclusion again.】
【After Chen Shu left, the shock in her eyes still had not faded.】
【Chen Shu had never expected that you even knew the situation inside the Ancient Emperor Ruins. Even within the Hope Zone, only a few top cultivators knew about such things.】
【At the same time, Chen Shu became even more convinced that what you had said was true.】
【Chen Shu looked in the direction of the Council of Elders and resolved that she had to make her brother Chen Tian take precautions. Even if she could not change his mind, she still had to make him more alert.】
【...】
【The ninth year!】
【This year, you awoke from seclusion.】
【You went to find Xuanyuan Tianji and discovered that she had already come out of seclusion ahead of time.】
【Clearly, Xuanyuan Tianji had also taken to heart what you had said before.】
【Although the people of the Hope Zone did not believe what you had said, Xuanyuan Tianji did.】
【“What do you plan to do next?”】
【“Go to the Fallen Immortal Abyss?”】
【You and Xuanyuan Tianji stood up and looked at the peaceful scene within the Hope Zone, talking as you watched it.】
【You told Xuanyuan Tianji that you did indeed plan to go to the Fallen Immortal Abyss.】
【You told Xuanyuan Tianji that your current realm had already reached a bottleneck, but you still were not confident about breaking through into the Upper Three Realms.】
【“It seems you are not completely foolish.”】
【Xuanyuan Tianji told you that if you wanted to survive the Chaos Divine Lightning of the Upper Three Realms, your current fleshly body strength at the Mortal Shedding Realm was far from enough. At the very least, you had to break through to the Spirit Bone Realm.】
【“The Spirit Bone Realm...”】
【You examined the state of your body. You had already reached Mortal Shedding Realm Great Perfection, and you were not far from breaking through to the Spirit Bone Realm.】
【Inwardly, you swore that this trip to the Fallen Immortal Abyss had to bring you a breakthrough to the Spirit Bone Realm in body cultivation.】
【One month later!】
【You and Xuanyuan Tianji left the Ancient Emperor Ruins.】
【Before leaving the Ancient Emperor Ruins, you went to see Chen Shu one last time.】
【When you met Chen Shu, you told her that Heavenly Emperor City and the Eldritch Race would soon arrive. You planned to go cultivate in the Fallen Immortal Abyss for a time, and you warned her to be careful.】
【After hearing your words, Chen Shu’s eyes dimmed slightly.】
【Chen Shu told you that over the years, she had already done everything she could, but neither her brother Chen Tian nor the other members of the Council of Elders were willing to believe her.】
【Then Chen Shu also told you that the Council of Elders had decided that when the time came for you to break through to the Immortal Realm, they would join forces to seize an Immortal Crystal for you.】
【Faced with that news, you shook your head helplessly.】
【“Protect yourself.”】
【After saying that, you left the Hope Zone with Xuanyuan Tianji and flew straight toward the Fallen Immortal Abyss.】
【Two months later!】
【You arrived at the familiar Fallen Immortal Abyss.】
【This time, you climbed all the way to the eight-thousandth step in one go.】
【After the eight-thousandth step, you found that lifting your feet became more and more difficult.】
【Seeing your condition, Xuanyuan Tianji urged you to give up for now and come back next time.】
【But only you knew that no matter what, you could not give up at this moment. Giving up now would waste far too much time and cost you far too much.】
【Over the following days, each single step took you an entire day to climb.】
【And so, on the tenth day, your fleshly body broke through.】
【You successfully broke through to the Spirit Bone Realm in body cultivation. The moment you broke through, you felt a sudden sense of ease.】
【Then, in a single burst, you climbed straight to the nine-thousandth step.】
【What shocked you, however, was that Xuanyuan Tianji had actually kept pace with you.】
【You looked at Xuanyuan Tianji in astonishment, yet she only responded with a smile.】
【Looking at the smiling Xuanyuan Tianji, you took a deep breath and did not ask any further questions.】
【“Let us go see what good treasure is waiting at the top.”】
【As soon as the words left your mouth, you continued lifting your feet and climbing toward the top of the Myriad Tribulations Stairway.】
【Half a year later!】
【At long last, you and Xuanyuan Tianji finished climbing the entire Myriad Tribulations Stairway and arrived at the top of the Fallen Immortal Abyss.】
【After reaching the summit, you discovered that there was no longer any cloud or mist blocking your vision. Instead, it was an open expanse that you could see through at a glance.】
【“What is that?”】
【Not far away, you saw a towering giant tree. Beneath it was a small pool radiating a dark yellow glow.】
【You and Xuanyuan Tianji walked toward the pool.】
【When you reached the pool’s edge, Xuanyuan Tianji looked at it and suddenly widened her eyes.】
【“This is...”】
【“Xuanhuang Stone Marrow?”】
