Chapter 404 - 67: Entering Zulu

Shen Fei recounted the gains from the Cold Abyss God, specifically mentioning the six severely injured members of the Cold Heaven Race asleep inside the Cold Heaven Ice Tomb.

"You’ve done well, I never expected you could actually resolve this Cold Abyss God.

Even though she hasn’t awakened enough power to reach Tier Ten, your resolution indicates your strength is already at the level of being invincible at Tier Nine."

Luo Ran was filled with emotion; it was her first time encountering such a talented individual, and she felt fortunate for the decision to take Shen Fei as her disciple.

It hasn’t been long.

Her memories still linger on when Shen Fei decisively chose the ’War School’.

She once thought Shen Fei needed at least decades to inherit her position and become the pillar of Wu Xia.

Now, it’s not even just decades, not even decades of months, his speed of growth is terrifying.

Though it’s not unheard of for professionals’ talents to be able to impart abilities to a summoned beast, Shen Fei’s imparted abilities are indeed astonishingly absurd.

"It’s all thanks to Master’s teachings, and without Master, I couldn’t have grown so quickly?"

Shen Fei was speaking the truth, this ’War School’ is really amazing.

Without needing him to accompany as a Summoner, the summoned beasts can act alone.

It completely liberated his summoned beasts, each of which could be considered defying the heavens.

Plus, with Luo Ran’s almost cost-no-object support, his speed of growth shocked everyone aware of it.

"Alright, be careful when entering Zulu this time. If it doesn’t work out, just abandon it and find a chance to exit, anyway, there’s still the Age of Gods as a fallback."

"Okay."

Shen Fei took out the ’Cold Heaven Tomb Key’, light dots enveloping it.

"I’ll go talk with Meng Zhengguo and them, see how to deal with it. If there’s any gain, I won’t forget your share."

"Hehe, I just want to contribute to Wu Xia, after all, how can one allow others to sleep soundly beside one’s bed?

Gaining or not is just incidental."

Light dots transmitted Luo Ran’s speechless voice, "Then how about not giving it to you?"

"Hey, Master. Just kidding, just kidding!"

"You’re slippery."

After Luo Ran’s light dots disappeared, Shen Fei rubbed his brow, finally able to proceed to Zulu in peace.

Clearly, his visit here this time was also for entering the Zulu Battlefield, but now their Breaking Abyss Army and school team were rather the last to enter.

Even though he had already sent many Ghost Swordsmen, they might not necessarily be faster than those in America.

But the gains this time are not minor, perhaps not even less than the gains at the Battle of Zhulu.

For the Empress has been made to grasp the Law early.

...

Three days later.

Shen Fei, Gao Ya, Yan Motong, and Wu Zhao led their team to the northeastern side of Ice Abyss.

They also saw the Mythical Gate leading into the Battle of Zhulu.

"It does look quite historical." Shen Fei looked at the ancient-appearing Mythical Gate.

Its shape was like an arch standing on ice, seeming nearly a hundred meters tall.

Even a near twenty-meter Giant looks like a child walking in.

"Didn’t expect you to arrive so quickly."

At this time,

Jason Windsor’s voice came through, causing Gao Ya to raise an eyebrow and speak calmly, "You actually didn’t go in."

"Not daring to gamble, higher tier entrants might encounter stronger calamities, and strength isn’t the decisive factor inside.

Shen Fei thought all Tier Nine leaders would choose to enter.

The Ancient Secret Realm cannot be entered repeatedly, and these Tier Nines had often entered Ancient Secret Realms before.

But still haven’t obtained Half-Mythical Professions.

Shen Fei actually also asked Gao Ya, Gao Ya said they entered the Age of Gods back then.

The Ancient Secret Realms indeed usually yield rewards, but outcomes vary between success and failure.

Upon success, the minimum is a Half-Mythical Profession, while failure at most augments one’s skills or attributes slightly.

As for whether one fails or succeeds,

In the Age of Gods, after entering, factions are assigned, and faction missions exist.

Back then, Gao Ya entered as a Tier Six.

The key is,

Initially inside, he was just someone selling paintings on the street.

Although his ’Godslayer’ organization spread across the Age of Gods.

But Gao Ya was completely powerless, he needed to continually complete faction missions to reclaim his strength.

The final mission was in a Tier Nine encirclement to gain the so-called ’Tree of Eternal Life Seed’.

Yet there’s a vast gap between Tier Six and Tier Nine.

Even though Gao Ya had maneuvered expertly, using feints to lure away many Tier Nines multiple times.

Eventually, a Tier Nine Assassin discovered him, disrupting his scheme, but Gao Ya fortunately had completed the exit mission.

Ready to leave the Ancient Secret Realm any time.

"Luckily, I entered at Tier Six. If at Tier Nine, then the mission might not be just encirclement by Tier Nines,

it would likely directly require finding the heavy treasures of a Tier Ten presence."

"And it’s possible the exit mission wouldn’t have been doable either."

Gao Ya explained in response to Shen Fei’s inquiry.

The moment Shen Fei regained composure, Jason Windsor’s gaze turned to Shen Fei, "Seems you’ve dealt with the Cold Abyss God."

His tone was full of amazement, they assumed those remnants from the Ural Defense Line wanted to completely solve the Cold Abyss God.

It might entail a price, even risking the total collapse of the Ural Defense Line.

Yet unexpectedly, the Ural Defense Line swiftly resolved it.

Of course, while it’s said it was the Ural Defense Line, everyone knew Shen Fei handled it.

Shen Fei’s strength forever exceeded their imagination.

"Are you thinking of entering to gamble again? Knowing you’re at Tier Nine. There will be chances later as well."

Jason Windsor looked at Gao Ya, who spoke calmly, "You don’t need to worry about this."

"Alright, may your Divine Spirit bless you."

"Wuxia People never believe in gods." Gao Ya turned toward Yan Motong, "I’ll trouble Principal Yann outside."

"Got it."

Yan Motong didn’t plan on entering; she wasn’t set on becoming Tier Nine, but sighed, "It’s a pity Ning Qingyang didn’t come..."

Upon hearing this, Gao Ya and Shen Fei exchanged a glance, now Yan Motong still didn’t know Ning Qingyang had already died by Shen Fei’s hand.

But Gao Ya suggested waiting until returning, letting him personally visit Chang’an University and tell Senior Sword Immortal clearly.

"Then we’ll go in first."

For the Breaking Abyss Army’s side,

Fang Qingluan and the Tier Eight group entered first, the Mythical Gate’s entrance seemed void, even allowing view of the icy scenery opposite the gate.

But anyone walking through the gate would vanish, then it was the school team’s King.

These numbers were fewer compared to Breaking Abyss Army, followed by Tier Seven, Tier Six and so on.

Finally, it was the turn of the youngest from both teams, like senior students from Imperial University and others, Su Muyu among them.

Due to vast experience, Su Muyu had reached Tier Six as well.

Even awakened her Second Transformation mission.

This Second Transformation mission required Su Muyu to travel to [Battle of Zhulu] and gain the recognition of [Shaman].

It allowed her to initiate Half-Mythical Profession—inheriting the Shaman Profession.

Otherwise, Shen Fei would consider having Su Muyu skip entering ’Battle of Zhulu’.

Primarily, Su Muyu’s rapid leveling revealed drawbacks.

She hadn’t yet fully converted the gains from leveling into actual strength.

Though Shen Fei possessed Skill Books and Equipment, skills learned afterwards still require proficiency.

So, throughout these several days, Su Muyu was honing herself among the Nine Realms and Abyssal Creatures.

Even enlisting the Jiuli Army to assist her in honing her skills, practically without interruption.

With Medicine Ancestor present, they didn’t worry about Su Muyu getting exhausted or needing recovery.

Basically, she kept practicing her newly acquired skills.

If Shen Fei hadn’t intended to prevent unexpected occurrences by not leaving Su Muyu in the Nine Realms while entering the Battle of Zhulu.

He would’ve left Su Muyu in the Nine Realms.

Eventually, only Shen Fei, Gao Ya, Wu Zhao, and others remained before the gate.

Shen Fei summoned the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable and others, looking toward the Mythical Gate.

"Ancestor, I’m here..."
