Chapter 193: Emperor's Fate (9)
Su Chen refused the opportunity offered by the Jade Pool Sacred Land. But he did not refuse the Jade Pool Sacred Maiden.
Within an ancient pavilion, the Jade Pool Sacred Maiden played celestial melodies, while Su Chen studied the ancient texts he had borrowed from the Sacred Land.
The Jade Pool Sacred Maiden became his follower. The origin of the Immortal Tree's fruit alone guaranteed a talent no lower than that of a Heavenly King-level prodigy.
The Jade Pool Sacred Land was one of the oldest sanctuaries of the human race, harboring countless secrets. It preserved records from countless eras and possessed cultivation techniques as vast as the stars. While Su Chen could not access its deepest mysteries, the Sacred Maiden had set her sights on him, and the Sacred Land was more than willing to invest in a genius with the potential to attain the Dao, forging a favorable bond.
Su Chen remained in the Jade Pool Sacred Land for three years without returning to the Ye Family. Then, all of a sudden, countless Dao patterns intertwined around him, light and shadow weaving together into myriad phenomena.
The Jade Pool Sacred Maiden stopped playing, her eyes shining with astonishment. Three realms in three years. At nineteen, he had already reached the seventh level of the Nirvana Realm. Even across the entire span of recorded history, such achievements were exceedingly rare. Most ancient Emperors had been far inferior to the young man before her at the same age.
The fluctuations soon faded, and Su Chen's cultivation advanced once more, breaking through from the sixth level of the Nirvana Realm to the seventh.
Nirvana Realm, Seventh Layer. Even among the strong, this was the mark of a true powerhouse.
During these three years in the Jade Pool Sacred Land, Su Chen had continuously refined his own path. The embryonic form of a supreme avenue gradually took shape in his mind. Through cycle after cycle, lifetime after lifetime, he would only continue to grow stronger.
