Chapter 518: Chapter 388 Daoist!!! (Must Read)_2
âI havenât thought that through yet; weâll talk about it in the future.â
Chen Yuan was well aware that the Taoist Divine Palace had been helpful, but they couldnât possibly help him indefinitely without any limits. Such aid always came at a price, and they were not his nanny. This opportunity might very well be the last time they were willing to help him.
Next time he wished for their help, he would probably need to pay a price in exchange.
Li Su looked at Chen Yuan with a half-smile:
âAlright, then weâll talk about it in the future.â
Since Chen Yuan was not in a hurry, there was no reason for them to be rushed either. It only mattered that he was confident he could elevate his cultivation to its peak. As for Chen Yuanâs strength,
she had seen it with her own eyes.
He had only suffered a somewhat serious injury and yet he had managed to kill a Grandmaster. His prowess was undoubtedly terrifying, even in her youth she would have been no match for him.
Considering the Grandmaster Chen Yuan had killed before, he had already broken the recorded history.
With the Reach Profound Body, he had slain two Dan Realm Masters.
Perhaps others possessed such strength, but this was definitely the first time such an achievement had been told. To say that he was unprecedented wouldnât be an exaggeration, and there might not even be anyone to follow.
If this termâs Hidden Dragon List werenât the most terrifying one in a hundred years, they wouldnât need to worry so much. With his record of killing Grandmasters, Chen Yuan could easily dominate the Hidden Dragon List.
But this time was different. From what she had gathered, Chen Yuan would indeed face some difficulty in securing victory.
âYou have some strength, but donât take it lightly. You have also crossed hands with Xuanming, what do you make of his strength?â Li Su asked.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Yuan replied:
âHis strength is indeed formidable; with his power, he has the potential to slay a Grandmaster.â
Indeed, that was the case. The final blow that secured his victory owed much to the original power of the Dragon Soul. If he had relied on his true strength without using that move, victory would have been hard to achieve, and even if he managed to win, it would have been a near-death experience.
Of course, a Divine Weapon was also part of oneâs strength. Just like the Bowl and Buddha Beads in Xuanmingâs hands, they were extraordinary Buddha Treasures, and he too had relied on the power of the Buddha Treasures.
âIs he dead?â
âNo.â
âYou didnât kill him?â Li Su raised an eyebrow.
According to the intelligence she received through her channels, Chen Yuan was known to have strong resolve, killing anyone who stood in his way without exception, and so far there seemed to be no exceptions.
Could it be due to the concern for Spirit Mountain?
It seemed plausible.
âImpossible to kill. Senior Li must also be aware of Xuanmingâs reincarnation issue, at that timeâŠ.â
Chen Yuan spoke calmly about the situation at the time without a pause, also to hear the opinion of the elder before him who was at the Yang Transformation Level.
After listening, Li Su nodded slightly:
âTechnically speaking, Xuanming is indeed dead. Even if he wakes up, he would hardly be the same person. It should be considered the Arhat at the Yang Transformation Level, and his strength will probably improve further.â
âIs that so, wonât there be any blowback?â
âIf that monk dared to do so, it must be that any potential blowback is within his tolerance. Even without you, Xuanming would have died at the hands of someone else.â
Chen Yuanâs eyes flickered as he nodded slightly.
âSenior Li, Iâve actually been pondering a question for a long time; may I ask for your enlightenment?â
âSpeak your mind.â
âThe Taoist Divine Palace must have been established for some years now; why havenât they gotten the Ascending Immortal Fruit sooner?â
This was a somewhat probing question that had troubled Chen Yuan for a long time. He felt that the Taoist Divine Palace had been established for quite some time, and if they were competing for the Ascending Immortal Fruit,
there must have been more than one opportunity.
After all, the Immortal Battle commences every ten years, not every sixty or one hundred years.
Given their lifespan, there did seem to be a minor issue.
Li Su clearly understood the purpose of Chen Yuanâs question and spoke softly:
âThe competition for the Ascending Immortal Fruit only became an idea in recent decades. There were indeed opportunities before, but back then the Ascending Immortal Fruit was of no use to the Taoist Divine Palace.â
âI see.â
âI know what you are thinking. Donât worry, the Taoist Divine Palace is far stronger than you can imagine,â Li Su said gravely.
Indeed, leaving everything else aside, even considering just her and Jiang He, the power of the Taoist Divine Palace far exceeded that of an average top-tier sect. And if other Daoists were included,
they were not far from the top ten Immortal Sects.
That was Chen Yuanâs current line of thought.
âMiss Su has arranged for Yanshu to be in the Goddess Palace. If she violates the sect rules in the futureâŠ.â Chen Yuan wanted to know beforehand; he certainly did not wish to become enemies with the Goddess Palace over this.
It would be rather cliche.
âI am the Great Elder of the Goddess Palace. A few sect rules are nothing; when the time comes, I can announce that Yanshu was never on the palace register, so her presence could only be considered as cultivation and not as entering the palace.â
Chen Yuan understood; indeed, rules were made for those without backgrounds, without status, without strength. As long as you have connections, a background, and strength,
thenâŠ
Rules could be broken at any time.
He said nothing further, for all things in the world work in this manner!
âIn that case, I thank you, senior.â
Li Su did not respond but changed the subject, speaking softly:
âYou just mentioned âMiss Suâ?â
A hint of amusement seemed to flash in her eyes.
Chen Yuan was taken aback and nodded:
âSenior Su said⊠calling her âseniorâ made her seem old, so she asked me to call her âMiss Suâ.â
Li Suâs lips twitched into a light smirk.
So she fears aging?
HeheâŠ.
She had never let anyone call her âMiss Suâ before. Could it be⊠has the practice of the Six Desires Immortal Scripture truly muddled her wits, stirring her mortal passions?
