Chapter 230 : Chapter 230
Chapter 230 The Immortal Crystal Bought with Chen Tian’s Life!
【After thinking of Xuanyuan Tianji, you stopped worrying about the matter of cultivation arts.】
【You calculated the time. There were only six years left before the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth would descend upon the Canglan Realm.】
【And yet your cultivation had only reached the Seventh Tribulation Realm.】
【At that thought, your heart was instantly filled with pressure.】
【The eighteenth year!】
【This year, after consuming most of the cultivation resources Chen Tian had left for you, you successfully broke through to the Eighth Tribulation Realm of the Tribulation Stage.】
【You woke Xuanyuan Tianji. Looking at her Immortal Realm cultivation, you felt slightly more at ease.】
【However, what surprised you was that ever since Chen Shu and Chen Tian had left the Ancient Emperor Ruins that time, neither of them had returned.】
【At that thought, you could not help beginning to worry about Chen Shu.】
【You did not know whether something unusual had happened to them outside, whether they had been trapped somewhere, or whether they had been captured by the Eldritch Race.】
【“So, it is time to act?”】
【Xuanyuan Tianji walked to your side and glanced back at the wooden hut where you had cultivated in seclusion for so many years.】
【“The time is about right. It is time to leave the Qingxuan Realm.”】
【Xuanyuan Tianji asked how you planned to leave the Qingxuan Realm, whether by going to the Realm-Boundary Grand Array or by relying on your Divine Power Taixu Dragon Traversal.】
【After thinking it over, you ultimately decided to go take a look at the Realm-Boundary Grand Array first.】
【Just as you were speaking with Xuanyuan Tianji, a figure suddenly rushed into the Hope Zone in a flurry.】
【You turned your head and discovered that it was actually Chen Shu.】
【Looking at the panicked Chen Shu, you asked what had happened.】
【After Chen Shu reached your side and steadied herself, tears began streaming uncontrollably from her eyes.】
【“What exactly happened?”】
【“Where is Chen Tian?”】
【“Why are you the only one here?”】
【The moment Chen Shu heard you mention Chen Tian, her emotions finally collapsed.】
【“My... my brother... my brother was captured by the Bai Family of Heavenly Emperor City.”】
【“Captured by the Bai Family?”】
【After hearing this news, your heart filled with questions.】
【You could not understand how Chen Tian, who had merely gone out to gather information, could end up being captured by the Bai Family.】
【You knew that although Chen Tian, with his Heavenly Venerable cultivation, could never stand against the entire Bai Family alone, escaping should still have been easy for him.】
【Immediately afterward, Chen Shu took out a crystal radiating a deep blue glow and handed it to you.】
【“It was because of this!”】
【“An Immortal Crystal?”】
【When Xuanyuan Tianji saw the Immortal Crystal in Chen Shu’s hand, she spoke in surprise.】
【The moment you heard the words “Immortal Crystal,” you snapped your gaze toward Chen Shu’s face.】
【Now you understood why Chen Tian had not returned, and why he had been captured by the Bai Family.】
【Looking at the Immortal Crystal before you, your emotions instantly became complicated.】
【You had never expected that Chen Tian would be willing to sacrifice his own life for someone as good as a stranger to him, all for the sake of preserving that vague and uncertain future of the Human Race.】
【Then Chen Shu slowly began to recount what had happened after they left the Ancient Emperor Ruins.】
【Chen Shu told you that after leaving the Ancient Emperor Ruins, they had gone out into the world to gather information about Heavenly Emperor City.】
【Later, they learned that Heavenly Emperor City had joined forces with the Eldritch Race and established a vast Heavenly Emperor City at the very center of the Qingxuan Immortal Domain.】
【Chen Shu told you that after learning this news, Chen Tian had immediately taken her to Heavenly Emperor City.】
【After arriving there, they discovered that Heavenly Emperor City was divided into the Upper City and the Lower City.】
【Hearing this, your expression did not change in the slightest.】
【Because you already knew everything Chen Shu was saying.】
【Then Chen Shu continued, telling you that after Chen Tian learned the Bai Family had been promised Immortal Crystals by the Eldritch Race, he decided to remain in Heavenly Emperor City and disguise himself as a mortal.】
【Over the following years, Chen Tian discovered that the humans there seemed as though they had all been brainwashed, cultivating desperately with all their might.】
【The ideology instilled by the Bai Family was that only by cultivating diligently and going beyond the realm to fight the Eldritch Race could they protect the peace of the Qingxuan Realm.】
【In Chen Tian’s eyes, all of this was utter nonsense, yet the humans in the Lower City of Heavenly Emperor City believed it to be true.】
【Finally, Chen Shu told you that two months ago, Chen Tian learned that one of the administrators of Heavenly Emperor City’s Lower City was about to break through to the Immortal Realm.】
【So Chen Tian secretly infiltrated the place and, just as the man was about to break through, launched a sneak attack that severely wounded him and seized the Immortal Crystal.】
【However, in the end, Chen Tian’s identity was still exposed.】
【Chen Shu told you that after Chen Tian realized there was no way for him to escape, he handed the Immortal Crystal to her and used all his strength to send her out of Heavenly Emperor City.】
【Before she left, Chen Tian told her that she had to deliver the Immortal Crystal to you. You were the future of the Human Race.】
【After hearing Chen Shu’s account, your emotions became even more complicated.】
【Even though you had never been especially close to Chen Tian, you were still deeply moved by his selfless spirit.】
【Your heart began to waver. Coupled with the memories of having died at the hands of that sinister Immortal Lord eldritch being, your hatred for the Eldritch Race reached its peak.】
【“Huff! Huff!”】
【After taking a deep breath, you gradually calmed your emotions.】
【You knew that right now, you could not act on impulse.】
【You knew that destroying the Eldritch Race was only a matter of time, but it could not be rushed.】
【You knew you had to stay calm now and could not afford to act recklessly.】
【You looked at Chen Shu and told her your true origins.】
【You told Chen Shu that you planned to leave the Qingxuan Realm for now, and only return for revenge once your strength had grown enough in the future.】
【At first, Chen Shu was extremely unwilling to agree to leave with you, but after you persuaded her for some time, she finally agreed.】
【Chen Shu also understood that the Qingxuan Realm was no longer suitable for Human Race cultivation.】
【The next day!】
【You took Chen Shu with you and flew toward the center of the Qingxuan Immortal Domain.】
【When you arrived at Heavenly Emperor City, you suddenly discovered that the defenses there were even tighter than before.】
【However, none of that amounted to anything in your eyes.】
【Using Void Concealment, you successfully entered the Upper City of Heavenly Emperor City.】
【The moment you entered the Upper City, you immediately sensed that something was wrong.】
【Without the slightest hesitation, you used Void Concealment again and returned to the Lower City.】
【Not long afterward, you returned once more to the Ancient Emperor Ruins.】
【You released Xuanyuan Tianji and Chen Shu from your Void Domain.】
【Looking at your grim expression, Xuanyuan Tianji asked why you had suddenly come back.】
【Meanwhile, Chen Shu looked at you in shock. She had never imagined that you possessed such a powerful method.】
【“I am afraid we cannot use the Realm-Boundary Grand Array to leave anymore!”】
【You told Xuanyuan Tianji that after entering the Upper City, you had immediately sensed several terrifying auras hidden in the shadows.】
【“The moment we draw near the Realm-Boundary Grand Array, we will be captured at once and turned into Blood Prey!”】
