Chapter 386: The Truth About the Yaochi Conference in 386

“Celestial Being!”

Feeling the terrifying momentum erupting from Qin Wu’s body, Chu Hongxiu’s heart starts throbbing uncontrollably. This is the pressure that can only be felt when facing a Celestial Being.

Her heart keeps sinking lower and lower.

A member of the Qin family has actually broken through to the Celestial Being realm!

Even though she knew that this day would come sooner or later, she didn’t expect it to arrive so quickly.

Finally, she now understands why Qin was willing to return the Bright Moon Sabre to the Chu family — he no longer needed it.

Chu Hongxiu, among the founders of the ten families, was the only woman, an extraordinary figure often treated as a role model for women all over the world.

She was always extremely prideful, never paying any heed to the men of the world.

Of the eight families that also held great fame alongside her, the only two she acknowledged were the Chen family and Lin family. The rest were all mediocre; simply lackeys of the Three Saints Gate and Red Bright Heaven.

That was, until Qin Wu came out of nowhere, undefeated, and crushed her pride into dust.

At the time of their battle, her cultivation level had been above Qin Wu’s.

However, when they clashed, she was utterly defeated. His direct counter destroyed her proudest saber technique and he took the Bright Moon Sabre from her. It was an absolute defeat.

At that moment, the tip of his sword was just inches from her head, but then he suddenly stopped.

He did not kill her and he just left, not even a single word left behind.

This kind of indifference was even more painful for her than death.

For four hundred years, she continually relived every detail of that battle, pondering over and over again about how she could defeat this man…

Obsession of several hundred years can be quite frightening.

Especially the obsession of a strong Unleaking Realm cultivator. Moreover, that obsession belongs to a woman.

She indeed found a way to suppress Qin Wu, but she still lacked one crucial thing — pure strength!

After losing the Bright Moon Sabre, she had been stagnating for the past several hundred years.

But her arch-enemy was continuously progressing. Although he hadn’t battled anyone since their battle, she knew that with his talent, he certainly wouldn’t have made slow progress.

But as long as Qin hadn’t reached the Celestial Being realm, there was still hope for her to seek revenge.

When the Qin family returned the Bright Moon Sabre as a betrothal gift, Chu Hongxiu felt ecstatic. This was her hope for revenge.

However, that damn bastard Gu Yang broke into the Chu Family and snatched the Bright Moon Sabre from her, smothering her sole hope for revenge.

Now, both of her enemies have appeared in front of her, and she was overwhelmed by an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.

One easily defeated her four hundred years ago, taking the Bright Moon Sabre and crushing her pride and confidence.

The other one broke into the Chu Family recently, casually taking the Bright Moon Sabre from her in front of all the clan members, trampling her and Chu Family’s dignity into the dirt.

It is hard to say which of them Chu Hongxiu hates more.

Now, her old enemy, Qin Wu, displayed his celestial power in front of her, extinguishing her last glimmer of hope for revenge.

“Do you want to seek revenge?”

Just as she sank into the most profound despair, a voice echoed in her heart.

Revenge?

In the depths of her heart, a tiny flame of hope sprang to life.

“Of course!”

The only reason she kept holding on was to seek revenge!

For revenge, she would do everything in her power.

Not long ago, she was hurt by Gu Yang and fell into a state of exhaustion. Just when her life was hanging by a thread, she consumed the ‘Life-Renewing Heavenly Pill’ that Chu Xiyue had presented to her in order to survive.

Although Xiyue had warned her that there might be a problem with the pill, possibly containing the Original Spirit of an ancient power, she didn’t have the luxury of paying heed to that. If she had died, she wouldn’t have been able to take revenge, and the Chu family would have been done for.

“I can help you.”

The voice in Chu Hongxiu’s heart sounded again, clearer this time.

…

The other people in the arena who were watching Qin Wu, who looked like a god descending to earth, all looked complicated.

After the Xia dynasty, Great Zhou finally welcomed its fourth Celestial Being.

It didn’t surprise anyone. Given Qin Wu’s talent, as long as he didn’t die, he was bound to become a Celestial Being sooner or later.

If even he couldn’t advance to the Celestial Being realm, then there was no hope for the others.

But even so, actually seeing him take that step filled them with awe.

He was now a Celestial Being. Taking this step marked his ascent to the Immortal Rank. In ancient times, he would have joined the ranks of the immortals, with a destiny separate from ordinary beings.

This was the ultimate state that every martial artist yearned for.

But very few could reach this state. For the past thousand years, only four people, including the Qin dynasty and Great Zhou, have managed this.

…

“Qin Wu!”
