Chapter 497 - Yan Prefecture City (1/2)
In fact, Xiao Chen had reached the fourth level of the Nirvana Realm. Not long ago, he absorbed a portion of the Seven-apertured Exquisite Fruit’s power. Although there was only one level between the third and the fourth level, the difference between them was huge. One was at the Early-stage, and the other was at the Middle-stage. If he had not entered the fourth level, he would not be able to withstand the palm of the old man who was at the late-stage of Nirvana Realm.
The old man in the gray robe finally reacted at this time. Although he only used seven parts of his strength, this person was able to take it, which meant that he was at least in the middle stage of the Nirvana stage. He took a step back, but he was still a little shocked.
“Even in The Annihilation Times, it’s impossible to have such a young cultivator at the middle stage of the Nirvana Realm. Could it be an old man who has cultivated his Immortal Body? No, if he’s an Immortal Body, it means that he’s not using his full strength. Wouldn’t that be even more terrifying?”
It was true. Although The Annihilation Times was coming, it had not reached the second stage. Almost no one among the juniors could really enter the Nirvana Realm. Even people like Xiaoyue, Su Zimu, Yu Yifeng, and others stayed at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm. Even if they took the pills, it was difficult for them to break through to the Nirvana Realm.
As for Xiao Chen and Su Lianyue, it was purely a coincidence when they entered the flower valley mystic domain by accident. That was why back then, there were so many seniors from the Cultivators’ sects respected Mo Jinyan for entering the Nirvana Realm. It was not just because he was a member of the Mo family.
The old man in the gray robe forced himself to calm down and said sternly, “My friend, you are also a member of the Cultivators’ sects. Isn’t your friend’s killing desire too strong? It’s just a verbal dispute. Why the need to kill?”
At this moment, Xiao Chen was still a little cautious of the Apotheosis Realm cultivator on the top of the mountain. He said placidly, “Since that’s the case, you can be considered a senior of a Cultivators’ sect. Why do you intend to kill a girl?”
The palm strike just now was indeed fatal for Chu Qi, but the old man in the gray robe used only seven parts of force out of desperation. If he really wanted to kill someone, he would have used nine parts or even ten parts of his force.
Although the strong were now respected in Violet Manor, most of them had the demeanor of an expert. They would not use all their strength to kill people if they did not get along with each other.
Theoretically, Nirvana Realm cultivators could kill Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in seconds, but there was no real deep hatred. Why did they have to use 100 percent of their strength to kill people? If they had such strong killing desires, they would definitely fail to survive the ordeal and ascend in the future.
The old man in the gray robe calmed down and said, “I was just in a hurry just now. If you believe it, you believe it. If you don’t believe it, then let it go.”
Xiao Chen certainly knew that he was in a hurry, and he was able to retain 30 percent of his strength in such a hurry. This person really had the demeanor of a predecessor. He also cupped his hands gracefully and said, “It’s just a misunderstanding. Since the rule is the rule, then I dare not take this Monster Pill away.” After that, he said to the people behind him, “Chu Qi.”
In the back, Liu Qing had already been helped up by someone. At this moment, he was extremely unreconciled. Being defeated by Chu Qi was one of the reasons. More of it because of this young man who looked a few years younger than him in front of him.
He had always regarded himself as the number one person in the Pure Mind Sect, and even the number one person in Yan Prefecture City. However, the young man in front of him had actually reached the middle stage of the Nirvana Realm. He was actually able to defend Elder Xu’s palm strike.
Chu Qi walked up and handed the Flame-winged Beast’s Monster Pill to Xiao Chen with both hands.
At this moment, on the mountaintop in the distance, the purple-robed old man and cyan-robed elder were both shocked. Especially the purple-robed old man from Pure Mind Sect, his back was covered with layers and layers of cold sweat. Originally, he thought that this person was only at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm. However, he did not expect that this person was actually at the middle stage of the Nirvana Realm. This was completely beyond his imagination.
The reason why he was so shocked was that before the second stage of the Annihilation Times came, there was a twenty-year-old Nirvana Realm cultivator who seemed to have an ancient cultivation method.
The reason why there was layer after layer of cold sweat behind him was that such a strong young man would not suddenly appear in the Wastelands out of nowhere. The only reasonable explanation he could think of was that the origin of this person was not trivial.
He seemed to have thought of something and his voice was trembling. He said in a quavering voice, “Are these people from White Fog City?”
At this moment, the cyan-robed elder of the Heaven Heart Pavilion was no longer as sarcastic as he had been earlier. His voice was also trembling. “No, it can’t be. The Cloud Mist Academy disciples will not come here. Other than the Cloud Mist Academy disciples, it seems that no one in White Fog City has ever heard of such a powerful person. Could it be…” His face turned pale when he spoke until this point. He muttered, “Could it be that he’s someone from the Desolate Seas…”
“Desolate Seas…” When he heard these words, the old man in the purple robe trembled, and his face was also pale. Then he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly used the Thousand-mile Secret Voice Technique at the Elder Xu in the deep mountain below and said, “This person may be from the Desolate Seas. Talk nicely. Let’s give up the Monster Pill!”
In the forest below, Xiao Chen handed the Beast King’s Monster Pill to the old man in the gray robe. “It’s a misunderstanding. Senior, please take the Monster Pill.”
Since Liu Qing had lost, Elder Xu naturally did not intend to accept the Monster Pill. At this moment, when he heard Senior Brother’s secret voice sent to him, he was even more shocked. His face turned pale, but he quickly recovered. He waved his hand and said, “No, no, no. Since the Beast King was killed by my young friend, Monster Pill should belong to my young friend. My disciple offended you just now, so please don’t keep it in mind. It’s just a misunderstanding.”
Not far away, more than a dozen people from the Pure Mind Sect had doubts in their eyes. The rule of Wastelands was that whoever launched the last blow would be the winner. Even if this person had really entered the Nirvana Realm, Elder Xu could just reject accepting the Monster Pill. There was no need for him to be so polite in his words. It really destroyed their prestige. For a moment, the ten more people felt very unhappy.
These juniors were all young and vigorous. They liked to compete and win. Naturally, they would not think so far like the older generation. If Xiao Chen was really a person from Desolate Seas, and Elder Xu insisted on taking Monster Pill, then it was very likely that from now on, a sect in the Wastelands would be gone forever.
