Chapter 132: The Strongest Man in the Realm of Flame Heaven (1/2)

Meanwhile, on the back mountain of Cloudsoaring Mountain.

Chang Sen and his wife Kong Yun, both Profound realm experts from Hell sect, had been discussing the Dao of cultivation with Wu Ji over the past few days, in the same manner they might chat about household affairs.

As opposed to what the others had expected, ever since they came to the Cloudsoaring Mountain, both Chang Sen and Kong Yun hadn’t had even the slightest intention to go to war.

When Kong Yun found out that the experts from Mystic Mist sect and Grayvale sect had joined hands and marched towards the Hell sect, she had apologized to Wu Ji, and then soared away.

Chang Sen stayed and continued to discuss the Dao of cultivation with Wu Ji.

With a tall and sturdy frame, Chang Sen wore rough linen garments and no shoes. No one would have considered him to be a Profound realm Qi warrior. Instead, he looked more like a farmer who had been busy with rural activities his whole life.

His hands and feet were big and strong, his robust body resembled that of a tiger, and his voice sounded loud and profound like a giant bell.

Not far away from where they were, experts from both Cloudsoaring Sect and Hell sect were still fighting endlessly and fiercely over the Heaven Gate keys on the meteors.

However, Wu Ji and Chang Sen turned a blind eye to it and went on to exchange their understandings of cultivation.

Chang Sen had come to Wu Ji’s residence when the Ghost sect and Blood sect invaded the Spiritual Treasure sect. He just sat with Wu Ji and chatted about whatever that came to mind.

Wu Ji had known about his purpose ever since he had arrived. However, he did not point it out directly, but rather chatted with him.

Until this moment…

Chang Sen remained silent for a while before he suddenly said, “I’ll be leaving soon.Brother Wu, you are the only person whom I respect deeply in the entire Realm of Flame Heaven. I’ve benefited a great deal from our conversations, and I’ve always admired you for having taught two extremely talented disciples.”

Wu Ji had a calm look on his face. “It’s all because they worked hard.”

Chang Sen nodded in assent, and said, “Brother Wu, Fang Hui and the others may not know about this, but you ought to be aware that in my eyes, the alliance between the four sects is too weak to withstand a single blow.

“If I wanted to, I could easily eliminate the four of them from the Realm of Flame Heaven.

“I’ve only allowed them to exist so that they can serve as sharpening stones for disciples from the Hell sect. I’ve never considered them as swords that may become as sharp as the Hell sect.

“In my eyes, the Blood sect and Ghost sect are not that different from the other four sects.

“I have to find worthy opponents for the Hell sect in the Realm of Flame Heaven if we want to prosper.Even though I have the strength to take over all of the other sects, I chose not to.

“Because, without opponents, our disciples would lose their sense of crisis and motivation.

“It has been my intention that the other sects persist, so that our disciples can polish themselves and sharpen their edge.”

From the way he spoke, it seemed if he had wanted, the Hell sect alone would be more than capable of sweeping across the whole Realm of Flame Heaven and making all other sects submit to them obediently.

Wu Ji didn’t say a word to refute him.

It seemed that he agreed with Chang Sen’s assertion, and didn’t think even for a moment that Chang Sen had really been speaking without thinking.

That was because he understood better than anyone how powerful the man in front of him was.

They were both in the Profound realm. Chang Sen, however, had already reached the great circle, and was only one step away from stepping into the Soul realm.

He deserved the title of the strongest man in the Realm of Flame Heaven. He was the only one who had stepped into the late Profound realm. All the other Profound realm cultivators had only reached the early or middle stage.

Even though there was one Profound realm expert in each of the sects among the four sects, with the exception of Wu Ji, the other three experts were all only at the early Profound realm.

As for Wu Ji himself, he had only managed to step into the middle Profound realm not too long ago.

He also understood that if he couldn’t run into some good fortune, he wouldn’t have enough years to last until he stepped into the Soul realm where he could extend his longevity.

Chang Sen narrowed his eyes as he looked at the fierce battle at the foot of the mountain, watching the experts from both the Cloudsoaring sect and Hell sect fighting over the Heaven Gate keys.

“You never know. Even the powerful experts from the Realm of Earth Sieve didn’t foresee that the Heaven Gates would have its own qualifications this time.

“If I had known about this, I would have prevented the Ghost sect and Blood sect’s invasion of the Spiritual Treasure sect.

“What’s done is done. It’s no longer necessary to continue with the battle.

“I will allow those who have already obtained the keys to enter the Heaven Gate. I won’t add on anymore obstacles.

“Many from other realms have longed to enter the Realm of Flame Heaven for many years.In the past, there haven’t been enough benefits that drove them to make efforts to step into the Realm of Flame Heaven.

“The appearance of the Heaven Gate and the Earth Flame Beast breaking free from Scarlet Flame Mountain Range heralds the changes that are going to take place. In the future, even more strange phenomenons will present themselves in the Realm of Flame Heaven. By that time, powerful forces from other realms that even I am not certain if I could resist, will reveal themselves in the Realm of Flame Heaven one after another.

“The civil war within the Realm of Flame Heaven might result in the death of many disciples who are below Worldly realm, due to their insufficient strength.

“On the other hand, the civil war can also possibly motivate the weaker ones, allowing them to make breakthroughs in desperate and unfavorable circumstances and as a result, step into the Worldly realm.

“I hope that after the Heaven Gate trial, there will be more of our disciples who can advance into the Worldly realm.
