Breaking Through to the Suppressing World Realm

Lu Wangchuan nodded without denying it.

Seeing him admit it, Chen Haoming's heart immediately began pounding wildly. Lu Xiaoqin could not help asking in confusion, "Husband, is the Celestial Human Realm really that formidable?"

Chen Haoming did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"Let me put it this way: if he wanted to, he could easily take down all of Chen Zhou City."

"He's that powerful?"

Lu Xiaoqin cried out in shock. She only knew that her younger brother was now a disciple of the Divine Water Sect; she had never imagined that he had grown so powerful. For a moment, she felt both delighted and incredulous.

"Wangchuan, how did you become so strong?"

Lu Wangchuan smiled lightly. "It cannot be explained in just a few words. Sister, you only need to know that I will always be your little brother."

Lu Xiaoqin nodded, her heart filled with sweetness.

Now that her younger brother had made something of himself, he still had not cast aside his elder sister. All those years she had kept him in her heart had not been in vain.

Lu Wangchuan spoke again. "Brother-in-law, I need a secret chamber for secluded cultivation. Also, I obtained some treasures. You are in business—can you find a way to exchange all of them for rare medicinal ingredients, such as ginseng and lingzhi? Of course, it would be even better if you could buy pills and spirit stones. And this must be kept out of the Divine Water Sect's sight."

Lu Wangchuan had just wiped out dozens of Heavenly Martial Sect elites. It was not impossible that they would retaliate, so he planned to cultivate in seclusion at the Chen Family. That way, if anyone tried to strike at the Chen Family, he could save them at any time.

Once he emerged from seclusion, if his sister's family was willing, he could bring them to Still Water Peak. With the sect's protection, they could truly live in greater peace.

As for the treasures, Lu Wangchuan had seized all of them in private. By the rules, he was supposed to hand over a portion in such circumstances. Lu Wangchuan did not want to turn them in, so having his brother-in-law sell them and purchase medicinal ingredients would both avoid the sect and save trouble.

Chen Haoming nodded. "All right, leave this matter to me. There happens to be a secret chamber in the rear courtyard as well. I use it to store some top-grade goods. It is extremely secure, and no one knows about it."

"Good."

Lu Wangchuan tossed nearly a hundred Storage Bags onto the ground. Aside from the resources plundered from those three cities, there were also the resources he had obtained from the Heavenly Martial Sect experts he had slain earlier. Then he headed straight into the secret chamber and began his attempt to break through to the third level of the Celestial Human Realm—the Suppressing World Realm!

Chen Haoming was already stunned by the sight of nearly a hundred Storage Bags. When he opened and inspected them one by one, his expression changed drastically.

"Where did this brat Wangchuan get so much treasure? This wealth is more than ten times greater than that of our entire Chen Family!"

Lu Xiaoqin covered her mouth in shock as well.

She had never seen so much money in her life.

When Chen Haoming had just told her how powerful the Celestial Human Realm was, she had not felt much. Only now did she truly come face-to-face with the terror of her younger brother's strength.

"Is this the power of the Celestial Human Realm?"

Chen Haoming sighed. "Yes. Celestial human, celestial human—such beings have already transcended the mortal world and ordinary people."

Yet he soon began to feel fortunate. Lu Wangchuan was his brother-in-law; the stronger Lu Wangchuan became, the better it was for the Chen Family.

Several days later, a furious roar suddenly rang out in Flying Immortal City in northwestern Shu Province.

"You are nothing but a pack of useless, rice-eating pigs! Good-for-nothings! The elites of Han Zhou City, Li Zhou City, and Yu Zhou City were wiped out, and all their resources were looted, yet you only reported it today!"

"Tenth Elder, it is not that we deliberately concealed the matter. We truly did not know what had happened. The enemy struck far too viciously; not a single disciple in the three cities was spared.

"Ordinary people have no movement techniques. It took them one or two days merely to deliver the news, which is why the information was delayed and our report came late."

"Then have you found out who struck in secret?"

"Not yet, but one thing is certain: the other party must be from the Divine Water Sect. Those three cities border Chu Zhou, and Chu Zhou is Divine Water Sect territory. We—"

Before he could finish, the other party cut him off directly.

"I do not want to hear your analysis here. Find that bastard. This old man will personally slaughter him!"

As soon as his words fell, a disciple hurriedly rushed in from outside.

"Reporting to Elder, a one-armed martial artist is outside requesting an audience."

"A one-armed martial artist?"

"Yes. His cultivation has already broken through to the Condensing Truth Realm, and we could not drive him away. He said he has a deal to discuss with Elder."

"A deal?"

The Heavenly Martial Sect's Tenth Elder frowned, then nodded. "Bring him in."

"Yes."

A moment later, the man was led into the main hall. He was a one-armed martial artist dressed in black, wearing a bamboo hat.

After arriving, he directly removed his bamboo hat, revealing a young face steeped in gloom.

"Senior Zhou, it has been a long time. I hope you have been well."

"You are... Li Tianxiang, the grandson of the Divine Water Sect's Second Elder?"

At those words, several Heavenly Martial Sect disciples immediately drew their swords against him. The atmosphere tightened to the utmost extreme, as though the air itself were laden with gunpowder, ready to explode at the slightest spark.

"Stand down."

The Tenth Elder gave a sharp cry, but the disciples were still somewhat worried.

"Elder, he is from the direct lineage of the Divine Water Sect."

"He came alone. Do you think this old man would fear a mere child like him? Stand down."

They had no choice but to withdraw.

Li Tianxiang flattered him.

"As expected of Senior Zhou, the Tenth Elder of the Heavenly Martial Sect."

"Save the flattery. With our two sects at war, you come to this old man to discuss business. What exactly is this business?"

Seeing that the other man was blunt and straightforward, Li Tianxiang spoke directly as well.

"I want you to help me kill someone. As long as you kill him, I can provide Senior Zhou with intelligence regarding the Divine Water Sect's defenses. This is absolutely a profitable deal, Senior Zhou—you stand to gain without loss."

"Kill whom?"

"Lu Wangchuan!"

"Oh, that peerless genius from your Divine Water Sect who emerged over the past year—the one who killed your dream lover? Young Master Li truly is the Divine Water Sect's most devoted man. For the sake of a dead woman, you are actually willing to trade the interests of your sect for his life!"

Li Tianxiang caught the mockery in the other man's words, yet he was not angered, because he still needed him now.

"No matter what, I must kill Lu Wangchuan. He has left the Divine Water Sect and is currently in Chen Zhou City, Chu Zhou. This is the best opportunity to kill him!"

"Chen Zhou City? The Chen Zhou City in Chu Zhou that faces Li Zhou City from afar?"

"Correct."

"So that's how it is. I had been wondering who had struck against my Heavenly Martial Sect. Since he is there, it is most likely him."

The Tenth Elder clenched his fist, a flicker of killing intent flashing through his eyes.

"This deal, this old man accepts. I will send people to Chen Zhou City at once to destroy him."

Li Tianxiang immediately spoke up to stop him.

"If you simply send a few people over, I'm afraid that will not be enough. Lu Wangchuan's talent is extraordinarily high. He and Zhao Yanlong are now hailed by outsiders as the Divine Water Twins!

Over a year ago, he had already reached the Condensing Truth Realm Late Stage. By now, his cultivation has certainly entered the Transforming Sea Realm. Even more terrifying is that he cultivates the strongest of our Divine Water Sect's Forbidden Techniques, the Prajna Dragon Elephant. Among those of the same cultivation level, he can be called invincible!"
