Chapter 112: Concealment
ly glanced at Kang Xuan and said, “Every time the imperial city hunt is held, the preliminary selection for determining the hunting quotas among various prefectures and counties has always been under...The Tianshui Secret Realm, because of the birth of that fruit, the entire second layer of the secret realm fell into madness.
Countless strong individuals swarmed in, frantically searching the "Third Palatial Realm" where Su Xin had disappeared.
Some people speculate that Su Xin might have already left the Third Divine Palace and started searching along the periphery.
However, countless strong individuals searched for half a day but found no results.
Su Xin, just as if he had suddenly vanished.
As more and more strong contenders arrived, information about Su Xin also spread among the people.
They all know that Su Xin, from the Tianyan Imperial Dynasty, is a genius disciple cultivated by the Tianyan Palace.
As for his strength, it was undoubtedly at the invincible level of the Void Breaking Realm. He had previously wounded Xue Xu Chen Tao with a single sword. Such strength, even among the invincible ones in the Void Breaking Realm, would definitely be top-notch.
……
Beyond the secret realm, within that majestic ancient palace.
The three inspectors of Jiusheng Mountain sat there, looking at the countless mirror screens in front of them. Countless powerful figures were frantically searching for Su Xin's whereabouts within them. The expressions of the three remained calm.
That fruit was deliberately placed by them in the vicinity of Su Xin, and they intentionally let Su Xin get it first.
The purpose of this is to see how Su Xin will respond after obtaining this Dao fruit.
From the moment Su Xin attained his Dao fruit, he was relentlessly pursued. They witnessed every harrowing detail: his desperate flight, his eventual refuge in a hidden chamber beneath the ruins of a forgotten city, where he finally evaded his pursuers.
That kid is no ordinary one.
One of the portly inspectors chuckled lightly, “From the moment he attained enlightenment to being pursued by numerous powerful individuals, we could see that he remained calm throughout. Even when faced with layers upon layers of encirclement and assassination attempts by these strong individuals, he didn't show any panic whatsoever. He was able to pinpoint the weakest points of those powerhouses with incredible precision, allowing him to break through the siege time and time again!”
"I like this calmness. To become a true strongman, you need this absolute calmness.
This plump inspector made no secret of his admiration for Su Xin.
He is also very decisive.
The only beautiful woman among the three inspectors spoke, "After shaking off his pursuers through the labyrinth of the third inner palace, he fled at top speed. Along the way, he encountered three powerful teams, but none of them had any grudge against him or pursued him. They didn't even know that he possessed a Dao Fruit."
But he still immediately took action, killing all the powerful fighters of these three teams and destroying their bodies… decisive and ruthless!
If he were merciful and let go of the three powerful groups he encountered along the way, I'm afraid a large number of strong warriors would have followed his escape route and found his hiding place by now.
"Not bad, even the plump chief inspector nodded."
Although there was no animosity whatsoever, Su Xin ruthlessly and decisively slaughtered all the strong members of those three squads.
Thus acting... These inspectors not only felt no aversion, but rather thought Su Xin had done well killing them.
That was a good kill indeed!
If this were a normal time, people would think Su Xin was evil and cruel for killing those three teams' strong fighters without reason.
But at this critical juncture, Su Xin had become the target of everyone's hatred. Countless powerful figures were frantically trying to kill him and seize his Tao Fruit. At this moment, if he still hesitated and spared the strong members of those three teams...
Then countless powerful beings pursuing him would learn his escape route from the strongmen of those three teams, and then search along his escape route. It's likely they'll find him soon.
Unlike now, countless strong individuals are still searching around the periphery of the Third Divine Palace. In a short period of time, it's impossible to find him.
Of the three inspectors, both the plump one and the beautiful woman were very satisfied with Su Xin's performance.
Only the last Hawkeye elder remained, but he furrowed his brow.
“I admit, it’s rare for a young man to remain so calm and decisive in that kind of situation. He strikes when he needs to and shows no mercy when necessary, displaying the air of a true strongman. However, I still feel he’s being a bit too greedy,” the hawk-eyed elder said.
“Greed” The chubby inspector and the beautiful woman both looked over.
“He is amazingly talented. Even at the mid-stage of the Broken Void realm, he can directly crush the strongest fighters in the Broken Void realm. With such talent, becoming a Nirvana realm cultivator is practically a certainty; it's just a matter of time. In that case, there's no need for him to necessarily obtain that Divine Eagle Eye,” said the elder.
The plump inspector and the beautiful woman both had a flutter in their hearts.
The old hawk-eyed man's words, they somewhat agreed with.
Su Xin's talent is right there, such an unbelievable prodigy, reaching the Nirvana realm is just a matter of time.
To become a true powerhouse, one must be able to hold and let go. This Su Xin doesn't need to take such a huge risk, for just a single Dao fruit to be chased by so many people.
The old hawk-eyed man continued, "If he hadn't participated in the Dao Fruit's contest from the beginning, or if he had seen himself being targeted by so many powerful individuals and resisted the temptation of the Dao Fruit, recognized his own strength, and voluntarily handed over the Dao Fruit to ensure his life, I would have thought he was truly confident in his talent."
"A joke, a treasure in hand given away willingly, or is it self-confidence" The plump Inspector chuckled.
“Eagle, you speak without feeling the pain. If it were you, wouldn’t you grasp at the chance for a one-time Nirvana when breaking through to the Void Realm Or let me ask, if there was an opportunity for Transcendence right before your eyes, wouldn’t you fight for it” the beautiful woman also said.
"That's different," the Hawkeye elder shook his head, "No matter what, I still think this little guy is too greedy and overreaching. For a single Dao Fruit, he doesn't hesitate to become the target of everyone's anger.
"
Although he temporarily relied on his quick wit to hide, in the second-layer secret realm, those cultivators who had broken through to the Void Refinement Realm were not fools. If they couldn't find him near the third Earth Palace, they would continuously expand their search range. Moreover, among these Void Refinement Realm cultivators, there were many with remarkable mental awareness, and some had even cultivated techniques for probing consciousness.
“All they have to do is block the space channel through which Su Xin leaves Tianshui Secret Realm, and then use the consciousness probing method to search inch by inch. No matter where Su Xin hides, he will be found sooner or later. And next time he is found, he will probably find it very difficult to escape again.
”
If, at that time, he still refuses to hand over the Dao fruit... Humph, this talented person will probably fall before his time.
The chubby inspector met the beautiful woman's gaze.
They had to admit that the old man with hawk eyes was telling the truth.
As long as Su Xin remains within the second layer of the secret realm, he will eventually be found. Once he is found... and if, by that time, Su Xin still refuses to abandon the Dao Fruit, all three of us inspectors will be very disappointed.
"Just take a look for now, I hope that little fellow knows his limits. The plump Inspector is on patrol."
"This kid, his talent is so astonishing. Don't go risking your life for a single Dao Fruit," the beautiful woman murmured.
……
Su Xin hid beneath that ruined area.
"The Dao Fruit!"
Su Xin stared at the fruit emitting green and red light within the Qiankun Ring, his heart pounding with excitement.
"Just a single fruit, yet it could allow a Broken Void Peak expert to have nearly a 50% chance of breaking through to the Nirvana Realm," Su Xin muttered in admiration.
In a dynasty, that would be the existence of the top level, such as an ancestor or Supreme Elder.
Even if you look at the entire Eastern Desolation, the Nirvana Realm is also truly powerful.
Although Su Xin has extraordinary talent, it's almost certain that he will break through to the Nirvana Realm in the future. However, no matter how talented he is, when he reaches the peak of the Void Breaking Realm and all conditions are met, he still has to patiently wait for the breakthrough opportunity to come.
>But who knows how long it will take for that breakthrough to happen.
And now, a Dao fruit is right in front of him, already grasped in his hand. How could he possibly give up so easily
Even if one had to give up, it should be done only when truly at the end of one's rope. But he is far from that point now.
“I left the Third Nether Palace and dashed all the way here, eliminating all the powerful individuals I encountered along the way and erasing any traces. Now, no one knows where I'm hiding. I’ve concealed all my aura. Even if those strong individuals use their consciousness to probe every inch, it will probably take them several days to find me.”
And these few days…
Su Xin narrowed his eyes, and with a wave of his hand, jade bottles appeared one after another in front of him.
Inside the jade bottle, golden water droplets were flowing.
Holy Spirit Liquid!
The most common and easiest-to-obtain treasure in Tianshui Secret Realm.
But its use is very significant.
Especially some cultivators with lower cultivation levels, such as those in the Broken Void Realm, can directly absorb the pure power within the Holy Spirit Liquid, thereby elevating their cultivation.
Before entering the second layer of the secret realm, Su Xin had already obtained a considerable amount of Sacred Spirit Liquid while exploring the first layer with Duan Yunfeng and others. Especially after the intense pursuit just now, he killed many strong fighters at the 'top tier' level, and from them he also obtained a large amount of Sacred Spirit Liquid.
Now, Su Xin had hundreds of drops of Holy Spirit Liquid in her possession.
Let's absorb it first.
Su Xin tried absorbing a drop of Holy Spirit Liquid.
Under the operation of the bloodline inheritance technique, this drop of Holy Spirit Liquid was thoroughly absorbed by him in less than half a quarter of an hour.
And the spiritual energy within him had noticeably increased by a small amount.
"Just a drop, and it actually boosted my spiritual power so much" Su Xin's eyes suddenly lit up.
The effect of this Holy Spirit Liquid was much better than he had imagined. To be precise, it was because his bloodline inheritance technique was too powerful, and the speed at which he absorbed this Holy Spirit Liquid was far faster than ordinary people.
One drop of holy spirit liquid was absorbed in less than half a quarter of an hour. An ordinary person would need several hours to absorb just one drop.
Su Xin's cultivation had reached the middle stage of breaking through emptiness for some time. The distance from the peak of the middle stage of breaking through emptiness was relatively close, and with these holy spirit liquids, Su Xin estimated that he only needed to absorb another ten or so drops of holy spirit liquid. He should be able to reach the peak of the middle stage of breaking through emptiness.
If he could absorb dozens or even hundreds of drops of Holy Spirit Liquid, perhaps his cultivation would advance to a higher level, breaking through to the late stage of Void Breaking!
But once he reaches the late stage of breaking the void, then his strength...
Without hesitation, Su Xin immediately sat cross-legged and began to absorb the holy spirit liquid with all his concentration.
……ou!"Tang Xuan was not afraid at all. He immediately charged forward, the long spear in his hand whirring with power. Boom! Boom! Boom! Though it was a spear, when he wielded it, it resembled a coloss...
