Chapter 786: Chapter 477: Rankings Soar, Dominating the Era
The remaining matters became quite simple. Present here were nearly all of Tang Sectâs elite forces, and there were not many experts left in the mountain gate, only some old, weak, sick, and disabled.
It was impossible for them to withstand two Dan Realm Masters, in addition to more than ten Reach Profound Martial Artists and nearly eighty Martial Artists below Gang Condensation. For the rest, it was basically a massacre.
With twenty percent of the profits as a reward, those Jianghu Martial Artists were exceptionally hardworking, striking fiercely as if⊠no⊠they indeed intended to eliminate all the remnants of Tang Sect!
Standing atop a mountain peak, Chen Yuan gazed down at the fray below; he seemed to be overlooking it, yet there was a deep confusion in his eyes!
This question had actually occurred to him quite early on, but only now did he seriously and systematically think about it.
This mysterious Martial Arts World, what exactly was its relation to his previous life?
Why were there so many similarities?
The Western Regionsâ Spirit Mountain, Northâs Wudang Mountain, Biyou Palace, Kunlun Mountain, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the former Chu of the Xiang Family, Sima Family of Jin, Blood Stateâs eight hundred li Liangshan Water Village, and⊠Shu Centralâs Tang Sect.
These place names really made him feel an inexplicable familiarity!
But they were different from his memories, truly making him feel slightly disoriented.
Could it be that either his previous life or this world was fake?
Or could it be⊠a temporal disorder?
Watching the killing below, Chen Yuan let out a long, unclear breath. With his current strength and status, he simply couldnât trace these questions; he could only suppress them in his heart for the time being.
He couldnât reveal them to anyone.
Perhaps, once he reached the pinnacle of this world, he would be able to trace some truths.
âChen Brother, what are you thinking?â
Liu Zhenzong approached with curiosity and asked. He had been observing Chen Yuan for a while, who had been standing stiffly in the same spot, seemingly watching the battle below,
but actually seemed to be pondering something.
âNothing much,â Chen Yuan replied nonchalantly, shaking his head:
âJust a bit distracted.â
âWhat does Chen Brother think of the court?â Liu Zhenzong nodded, then suddenly changed the subject altogether.
âWhat do you mean, Liu Brother?â
âNothing much, just thinking the current situation is somewhat like before Chu was about to fall, when there were both external threats and internal turmoil, and the court lost its way,
leading to great chaos under heaven.â
Chen Yuan looked intently at Liu Zhenzong and responded:
âWhat, isnât the Liu Family satisfied with just occupying Shuzhou?â
âNot at all. Itâs just that times create heroes. The hero at the dawn of the last era was the Grand Ancestor of the dynasty; this era, I wonder who else will rise to shake the world.â
Liu Zhenzong smiled, standing with his hands behind him as he looked into the distance.
âTimes create heroes, this statement is not without reason. Perhaps⊠this is the worst of times, or perhaps, this is actually the best of times!â
Chen Yuanâs gaze grew solemn, his demeanor exuding an unyielding authority.
âShangguan Brother mentioned that Chen Brother is a worthy friend. After interacting with you for a while, I think his words ring true. Letâs be friends, who knows if Chen Brother might find Liu Family useful someday.â
Liu Zhenzong gave a light smile.
Chen Yuan looked at him for a moment, then nodded:
âChen is also fond of making friends. Since Liu Brother is interested, Chen will not refuse.â
After a brief conversation, Chen Yuan left. Watching his retreating figure, Liu Zhenzongâs light smile gradually turned solemn, murmuring to himself: âThe worst of times is also the best of times, heh⊠after a thousand years, will the Liu Family be rejuvenated in my generation? PerhapsâŠ
It will!â

In the ninth year of Jingtai, on January fourteenth,
Chen Yuan finally broke through the peak of True Core, significantly advancing in his physical state. This day also marked the downfall of Tang Sect in Shu Central, lasting for hundreds of years.
From the top down, not a single person survived.
All remnants within the mountain gate were exterminated by those enraged and blinded by interests.
Both Shangguan Clan and Liu Family had sent their clanâs Martial Artists to maintain order, dividing the spoils of Tang Sectâs downfall into four parts. The largest share naturally went to Chen Yuan,
escorted directly to Tangshan under the protection of the Shangguan Clan.
In Jiangdu Prefecture, Chen Yuan stayed for two days, engaging in extensive discussions with Shangguan Yu and Liu Zhenzong, further closing the gap between them as both sides were keen on forming an alliance,
naturally progressing rapidly.
Meanwhile, the news of Tang Sectâs downfall coupled with Tang Xianzhuoâs plot to kill nearly twenty Dan Realm Masters spread at an extremely fast pace throughout Shu Central, consequently shaking Shuzhou!
Many speculated why Tang Xianzhuo did what he did,
this battle will be the start of Shuzhou Jianghuâs turmoil.
Those forces lacking a Dan Realm Master to oversee them would find it difficult to withstand this wave.
People discussed why Chen Yuan was so powerful â
Not only did Tang Xianzhuoâs premeditated scheme fail to kill him, but he was instead blasted directly by him?
Before the eyes of all, with the strength of forty-eighth on the Fengyun List, to blast away Tang Xianzhuo, who ranked in the top thirty, was truly astonishing. It also sparked discussions on how much hidden strength he still possessed,
how strong his talent really was, and
why, being both prodigies achieving Core through an anomaly, Zuo Chengzong had barely made it onto the Fengyun List, yet Chen Yuan had already moved to the forefront. Could it be that his talent was truly unparalleled?
As more and more news spread, another group was paying attention to the Grandmasters of Shuzhou perishing, speculating what ranking Ascending Immortal Tower would give Chen Yuan this time?
