Chapter 46: The Destined Son-in-Law (8)
The Hundred Nations Trial.
This was not Su Chen's first time participating. In his previous life, he had entered the secret realm during the trial and discovered several treasures that had not yet fully matured. He had hidden them carefully, planning to retrieve them in a future life if the opportunity arose.
Five hundred years had passed in the blink of an eye. Su Chen had no idea how many of those treasures still remained.
"Five centuries of frost and snow have erased even the marks I left behind. Nothing survives."
Guided by memory, he ventured deeper, only to find the secret realm had changed beyond recognition. The markers he once placed were gone, rendered useless. Disappointment settled over him. He had no choice but to search for new opportunities. Fortunately, his luck held.
Before long, he encountered a powerful demon beast, dispatched it with ease, and claimed a thousand-year Earth Yellow Essence. He continued wandering the realm, gathering several more fortuitous encounters along the way.
Suddenly, a deafening boom echoed through the heavens and earth. An ancient stele materialized.
Su Chen looked up, curiosity stirring in his chest. In this life, how many inheritance runes would he be able to comprehend? What level of legacy awaited him?
The many young prodigies within the secret realm surged toward the Xuanyuan Ancient Stele, vying fiercely for the dao platforms. When they caught sight of Su Chen, however, recognition dawned. This was the genius personally favored by an elder of the Profound Origin Sacred Land. No one dared provoke him.
