I am indeed very curious. Mu Qingxue nodded.

Haha Su Chen chuckled and said, Actually, theres no harm in telling you. Do you still remember the Golden Jade Gla.s.s Art?

Golden Jade Gla.s.s Art? Mu Qingxue was stunned when she heard this, but she quickly reacted. This was the reward she had received for placing first when the secret land of the Hundred Demon Battlefield in the Dachu Empire opened. At that time, to repay Senior Brother Su Chen for saving her life, she had given it to him without thinking too much.

But now, it seemed that it was precisely this Golden Jade Gla.s.s Art that made Su Chen harbor traces of doubt. Upon reflection, that was indeed the case she had only been at the Qi Sea Realm back then, yet was able to casually give away an earth-level body refining cultivation method. Anyone reasonably prudent would have found something amiss.

Thinking of this, Mu Qingxue regretted giving it to Su Chen so hastily. Now that she pondered it, it was really full of loopholes!

You neednt worry too much about this matter. Su Chen waved his hand rea.s.suringly. The Great Mystery Sacred Sect wont investigate the matter of you taking another master without permission.

After all, he was no longer the Great Mystery Holy Son, but rather their Supreme Elder now! With his word, even if the sect learned of Mu Qingxues actions, they would let it slide.

Thank you, Senior Brother! Mu Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly expressed her grat.i.tude.

Soon after, the two fell silent. Mu Qingxue sat cross-legged, quietly recovering, while Su Chen leaned against the window gazing thoughtfully at the communication jade slip in his hand. Its contents would occasionally flicker not due to any defect, but because of Ye Ruxue.

Outside the Chaotic Sea Star Region, much of her news could not be transmitted, but after he entered, this obstruction had diminished considerably. As the distance between them closed, their conversation flowed more smoothly.

The corpse of a Quasi-Emperor Realm expert Su Chen muttered, eyes glinting ponderously. Abruptly glancing at Mu Qingxue, he could not help but sigh. Based on Ye Ruxues latest reply, that corpse was not distant from her location.

Indeed, it stood to reason an expert of that level, having entered the Chaotic Sea Star Region to seek the inheritance of the former World-Transcending Sword Master, would surely be focused on the most central area. This explained Ye Ruxues brief detention. Had she not been waylaid, the quasi-meperors remains might have already vanished.

Perhaps this was the arrangement of Heavens Will, Su Chen mused, gaze lingering on the cultivating Mu Qingxue. The opportunity that belonged to her could not be so easily stolen away by another. In any case, she was also a character with a protagonist template.

Roughly half a month later, Su Chens flying Dao weapon gradually halted in the void. Mu Qingxue likewise awoke from her cultivation; in that time, not only had her injuries completely mended, but she had even ascended another level, drawing tantalizingly close to the Quasi-Saint Realm.

Her eyes now shone with strange light as she peered outside in puzzlement. Senior Brotherare we here at the burial ground of the quasi-emperor? Yes, this is the place, Su Chen affirmed with a slight nod before slowly rising and heading out. Mu Qingxue glanced between him and the outside world for a moment before following behind.

The entire universe here was cold, dark, and lonely, the previously faint stars now vanished, leaving only blackness.

Mu Qingxues gaze narrowed, focusing ahead. Thanks to her sharp vision, she could clearly see a lone, towering gate looming in the void, seeming to elucidate the Grand Dao itself. Merely a glimpse made one involuntarily wish to lose oneself within.

That is where the quasi-emperor lies interred, Su Chen declared, gaze blazing as he scrutinized the area. Alas, they had arrived too late the stone gate had already been breached. From within resounded intense fighting; a world-shocking battle was underway.

Though swift enough, the flying Dao weapon was no match for Saint Realm masters who could have beaten them here. By now, the weakest combatants were likely saints, with great saints doubtless among them as well. However, Su Chen knew not to discount the possibility of a Saint King Realm master lurking in their midst! Even he would have to pull back against such a foe.

Not for lack of ability to best them in battle, but rather because it was impossible to swiftly determine a victor between them. More critically, ninety-nine percent of the creatures entering the Chaotic Sea Star Region hailed from the unfriendly Southern Region. Upon meeting the human Su Chen, a great conflict would invariably erupt. Indeed, he had already slain two same-leveled great saints who greedily coveted his treasures; in the end, not only had they failed to seize anything, but they had forfeited their lives to him instead.

Senior Brother, should we go over and investigate? Mu Qingxues blue eyes were eager as if as long as Su Chen nodded in agreement, she could charge in the next moment.

No. Why should we go in? Su Chen smiled and shook his head, asking in return.

Mu Qingxue had the protagonist template on her, and perhaps, thousands of years later, she might turn danger into fortune. But Su Chen didnt have the protagonist template. After all, he was just a transmigrator. In this world, he couldnt be considered a protagonist. What if he went in and directly attracted a crowds siege?

Moreover, the most crucial point was that Mu Qingxue was currently only at the peak stage of the Nirvana Realm. Even if she partic.i.p.ated, the strong figures from the Southern Region wouldnt pay much attention to her.

But Su Chen was different. He was a powerhouse at the Great Saint Realm. And, most importantly. his ident.i.ty was of the human race!
