Free Web NovelChapter 2049: Chapter 2049: We Meet Again!
Several days later, Su Chen once again came to the depths of the mountain range where Lingwu Sect was located, much farther than the place he experimented with "Formless and Invisible" last time!
This time, he primarily aimed to test the "Prison Heavenly Finger." He came so far mainly because he was worried that the experiment would draw others’ attention.
Though it might be okay if they knew about it, there was no need.
He deeply understood the importance of hiding one’s trump cards, especially in a place like the Cangxuan Territory.
Standing atop a very high mountain peak, the wind was strong, whipping his long robe around. He looked ahead and suddenly pointed a finger!
A miracle descended!
In the void ahead, all space and air began to layer and rise.
Within that space was a strange fluctuation of True Yuan and a translucent, eerie color!
Subsequently, these eerie translucent colors instantly formed a cage hundreds of meters long and wide within the layered space!
The cage rippled in the void, as if that piece of heaven and earth was locked inside!
Seeing this, Su Chen was ecstatic. He hadn’t expected the "Prison Heavenly Finger" experiment to succeed so smoothly in one go!
Immediately, he moved his Divine Sense, and the cage began to shrink!
Another move, and it expanded again!
In other words, he could control the size of this cage with spiritual power!
In battle, relying solely on this move could already grant a tremendous advantage!
Especially for someone like Su Chen, who is skilled at fighting under various conditions, it becomes even more valuable!
Su Chen nearly burst into laughter, but felt it seemed a bit crazy, so he decided against it.
This time, he returned more joyful and excited than when he successfully experimented with the "Formless and Invisible" swordsmanship a few days ago.
He thought to himself that next, he should shift his focus completely to cultivating his own Cultivation Realm. It’s a good time since he now has Spirit Crystals, which are more conducive to progress in this area!
Furthermore, it wouldn’t be long before he represents the Tianhe Guild in the inscriptions competition. During this time, he would continue to delve deeper into the Path of Inscriptions!
Returning to the Inn Pavilion, Su Chen took out a Spirit Crystal and immediately consumed it.
Although called Spirit Crystal, it was solid but not hard, rather soft, like some kind of soft candy.
However, upon consumption, a storm brewed within Su Chen, and the True Yuan surged wildly like a roaming dragon in his body!
Su Chen expected some reaction, but hadn’t anticipated such intensity, so he immediately activated the Nine Yang Divine Technique!
In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.
During these ten days, Su Chen consumed three or four Spirit Crystals, but his Cultivation Realm kept breaking through, advancing directly to the Great Supreme Realm Eighth Turn!
This speed was akin to a rocket!
At this moment, two or three Spirit Crystals were left, but Su Chen did not continue cultivating.
Next, he planned to dive deeply into the Path of Inscriptions.
...
Meanwhile, at the Bao family!
The elder Zhang divulged all the news he had gleaned about Su Chen to the Family Head, Bao Guanghua!
Bao Guanghua grew more alarmed as he listened!
He hadn’t anticipated that the young man’s prowess was even more terrifying than imagined!
"Are all your words true?"
Bao Guanghua still held some disbelief, doubting that this young man managed to crush Wu Che to death!
"Absolutely true. I didn’t believe it at first, but after repeated inquiries, it is indeed real."
The elder Zhang replied.
Upon hearing this, Bao Guanghua’s eyes slowly narrowed:
"Given such strength, then this year’s trial path, he should participate!"
"Family Head, you mean..."
"Perhaps, we don’t need to take action. This boy might not live long."
Bao Guanghua smiled silently, the smile veiling a cold killing intent!
...
In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed, and Su Chen had partially grasped the Eighth Level inscriptions.
By the time, it was the day of his meeting with Elder Xi.
Although the inscriptions competition was still days away, the venue wasn’t in Wanyu City, requiring some travel time.
In the Cangxuan Territory, sects were more free than the outside world, so Su Chen didn’t need to report to anyone when heading out.
That morning, he left the Lingwu Sect and headed straight to the Tianhe Guild.
"Elder Xi, did you tell him to set off today?"
A middle-aged man inquired.
At that moment, a crowd had gathered at the Tianhe Guild entrance, these people were the guild’s representatives.
Most were not participating in the competition; while not competing, they still needed to uplift the reputation!
"I did, and he assured me he would make it."
Elder Xi glanced afar and said:
"President, let’s wait a bit longer."
"Isn’t this kid making too much of a fuss, making us all wait for him!"
One young man said, pouting.
Actually, the root cause wasn’t waiting longer, but dissatisfaction!
As Tianhe Guild’s apprentice most proficient in the Path of Inscriptions, he wasn’t qualified to participate in such a competition—yet that young man from nowhere would represent the guild.
In fact, except for Elder Xi, everyone else found this decision unreliable.
Bound by respect for Elder Xi, they were embarrassed to voice their concerns.
Not only the others, but even the middle-aged man—President Mu Yunbai of Tianhe Guild—felt unsure.
He agreed more out of faith in Elder Xi and lack of capable candidates.
If they had to choose, it would just be filling the numbers!
Honestly, the most shocked was Xi Youyou—she hadn’t expected Grandpa had her reach out to that guy for this matter!
Unable to grasp why her Grandpa trusted that young man so deeply!
Especially given the matter’s importance!
Yet, due to her young age, despite being doted on by everyone, she had no voice!
"Actually, it’s my fault for only telling him this morning, without specifying a time."
Elder Xi smiled awkwardly.
Suddently, his eyes lit up:
"He’s here!"
Everyone looked up, seeing a figure swiftly approaching from afar!
Moments later, he arrived.
"Apologies for being late."
Su Chen hadn’t anticipated everyone was waiting for him.
"Not at all, it’s good you came."
Mu Yunbai smiled:
"Speaking of which, I must thank you, young brother, for this matter."
Despite harboring doubt, the courtesy was maintained for the guild’s sake, so Mu Yunbai was warm and welcoming.
"It’s alright, I’m keen to explore."
Su Chen smiled slightly, then turned to Xi Youyou and joked:
"Miss Youyou, we meet again!"
