Humbly Seeking Guidance, Chen Xun Attains Enlightenment!

"Ning intends to personally travel to Spirit City to win him over."

Ning Fengzhi spoke slowly.

At this point, Ning Fengzhi had his own selfish motives as well.

He would go to Spirit City in the name of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Ning Fengzhi's purpose was not merely to win the other party over. He also wanted to confirm the other party's identity—whether he was truly the person Ning Fengzhi suspected.

If it was Chen Xun,

then even if they recruited him in the name of the Heaven Dou Empire, he would certainly give priority to helping the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The reason was simple: his grandson, Chen Xin, was in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

But if he was not Chen Xun, if he truly was an expert who had never appeared before,

then recruiting him in the name of the Heaven Dou Empire would amount to gaining a shield. At the very least, if Spirit Hall came to settle scores afterward, it would certainly target the Heaven Dou Empire first.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Heaven Dou Empire had always merely been allies. As the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's master, Ning Fengzhi naturally had to place the sect's interests first.

All his scheming was for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Good. Since Sect Master Ning is willing to humble himself and personally travel to Spirit City, then it's settled."

Xue Ye made the decision at once.

At the same time, many forces besides the Heaven Dou Empire, such as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Star Luo Empire, also dispatched people to Spirit City without prior arrangement, all to witness tomorrow's peerless battle with their own eyes.

It would be a battle between the continent's strongest experts.

The last peerless battle dated back to the clash between Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu. The continent had been silent for far, far too long...

Spirit City, a small inn.

Chen Xun sat resting on a wooden bed, took out the Myriad Laws Mirror, and swiped across its screen.

After several days of steady accumulation, Chen Xun now had three million points.

He browsed the Myriad Worlds Mall, intending to use those three million points to buy treasures that could increase his strength in preparation for tomorrow's decisive battle.

With his current strength, dealing with Golden Crocodile Douluo would be enough, but before Qian Daoliu, he was still no match.

Yet Chen Xun had browsed the Myriad Worlds Mall for several hours and still had not found a treasure suitable for himself.

It was not that the Myriad Worlds Mall lacked treasures. On the contrary, there were simply too many.

He could not possibly browse through them all.

Just looking at the 999+ pages in the Myriad Worlds Mall, even if Chen Xun were given days and nights, he might not finish looking through them.

Moreover, most treasures in the Myriad Worlds Mall were extraordinarily expensive, easily costing hundreds of millions, tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions of Contribution Points. His three million points were not even enough to make a splash.

Just as Chen Xun was troubled, he suddenly thought of something.

He opened the God Realm Preliminary Group chat and began typing in the dialogue box.

Apprentice Yearning for the Way of the Sword: @So Handsome They Chop Me, thank you, Senior, for letting me have the mission. Over the past few days, I completed missions and accumulated roughly three million points.

Tomorrow, I will battle Qian Daoliu, the Great Worship of Spirit Hall. I am ashamed to admit that I do not believe myself to be Qian Daoliu's match. I now wish to purchase some treasures from the Myriad Worlds Mall to improve my strength.

However, after browsing for a long time, I have yet to find anything suitable for myself. Could Senior offer me some guidance? I would be immensely grateful. (Fist clasp) (Fist clasp) (Fist clasp)

Chen Luo, who was reading in a bookstore, suddenly received Chen Xun's message and instantly perked up.

After all,

over the past few days, Chen Xun had earned Chen Luo roughly two to three hundred million Shock Value. Last night, Chen Luo had been so excited that he nearly did not sleep all night.

If Chen Xun fought Qian Daoliu,

then regardless of anything else, Chen Xun's identity would definitely be impossible to conceal. After this battle, Chen Xun's name as a Sword Master would once again resound throughout the world.

If a man who had returned from the dead defeated a Peerless Douluo hailed as invincible in the sky, it would absolutely be a continent-shaking event that would go down in history!

The Shock Value gained would be at least two or three times what he had now!

While reviving a new target, Chen Luo could also purchase new treasures in the mall to improve his own strength.

Just thinking about it felt amazing.

Chen Luo immediately opened the Myriad Laws Mirror and began replying to Chen Xun.

So Handsome They Chop Me: You're too polite, friend. Judging by your name, you must be a swordsman. Three million points may not be enough to exchange for any powerful sword techniques, but they can be exchanged for one opportunity to attain enlightenment.

The Myriad Worlds Mall sells Enlightenment Tea. Three million points would probably only buy about a finger's worth. If you have been stuck at a bottleneck for a long time, Enlightenment Tea can definitely give you a helping hand.

But think it through. After drinking Enlightenment Tea, it is also entirely possible that you will gain nothing. How much you gain can only depend on yourself.

Chen Luo sent the message after finishing typing it.

Enlightenment Tea was used to comprehend the Dao rhythms of heaven and earth.

Chen Xun had already been at the peak of Level 98 decades ago. He was only one opportunity away from breaking through to Level 99.

If Chen Xun drank the Enlightenment Tea, Chen Luo was ninety percent certain that he could help Chen Xun break through into the Level 99 Peerless Realm.

Most importantly,

Chen Xun's understanding of the Way of the Sword would absolutely rise to another level!

Increasing Soul Power was a minor matter.

Comprehending a new realm of the Way of the Sword was the true answer!

It all depended on whether Chen Xun dared to take this gamble.

Rather than calling it a gamble, a better explanation was believing in himself.

How much one could comprehend after drinking Enlightenment Tea depended entirely on the drinker.

When Chen Xun saw that the senior had suddenly replied to his message, he impatiently opened the group chat.

"Enlightenment Tea... How much I gain can only depend on myself."

Chen Xun was dazed for a moment.

According to his previous, safest plan, he had intended to buy several Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones from the Myriad Worlds Mall to arm himself.

But Chen Xun knew full well

that Qian Daoliu also possessed Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones.

Not only that, Qian Daoliu also held advantages in cultivation realm and martial soul.

Relying on a few Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones alone to defeat Qian Daoliu was basically impossible.

Yet Enlightenment Tea could give him an opportunity for breakthroughs in both Soul Power and realm.

But it could also cause his three million points to go down the drain.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Xun took a deep breath and swiped his finger across the screen.

Apprentice Yearning for the Way of the Sword: Thank you for your guidance, Senior. I will buy the Enlightenment Tea right away.

Chen Xun opened the Myriad Worlds Mall and purchased the Enlightenment Tea without hesitation. The three million Contribution Points he had accumulated were instantly wiped clean.

Ever since his sword heart had shattered and inner demons had taken root after his defeat at Tang Chen's hands, he had been running away for far, far too long...

But after finally receiving the chance to live again,

he did not want to keep running away.

Just as the Realm Master had said that day,

he wanted to witness a brand-new realm and touch upon a higher Way of the Sword!

To live up to the name of Sword Master.

Seeing Chen Xun's message on the screen, Chen Luo smiled in gratification.

It seemed that this time,

he had not chosen wrong.

A swordsman should rather break than bend, fearless of all things.

If one harbored fear, then even with the finest sword, one would be unable to bring out its power.

But if one feared nothing, then even grass, wood, or stone—why could it not slay immortals and sever gods?

Chen Xun looked at the jade-green Enlightenment Tea in his hand and drank it in one gulp.
