Chapter 3071 - 3074: Dao Heart Unsteady

Chapter 3071: Chapter 3074: Dao Heart Unsteady

The challenge assessment at Changlin Academy concluded without any unexpected events.

After Void Nether Academy underwent challenge assessments by all the supreme forces on Canglan Continent, there was hardly any change in the prospective students.

In the Saint Realm, Jiang Chen, Yue Muchen, Feng Xuan’er, Ren Cangsheng, and Hei Chong; in the Integration Path, Cheng Huang’er, Tang Jie, Xiang Wuhui, Li Tianqiong, and Mo Naihe.

These ten individuals would, three months hence, travel to Xiwu Continent with Zhao Buzu, Si Wenhao, Liu Changfeng, and Zhu Tianci, while Qiu Wenqing and others would return to Void Nether Academy with Yan Hu to continue their cultivation.

Within these three months, the sound of thunder continued to echo across Southern Maniac Mountain, with heavenly tribulations descending nearly every few days. Each wave of heavenly tribulation and auspicious clouds left those from other forces coveting the Alchemy position, yearning to receive Auspicious Clouds Nourishing the Body.

However, the entirety of Southern Maniac Mountain was surrounded, with the least capable among those patrolling being peak experts of the Saint Monarch Realm. Several Supreme Realm experts concealed themselves within the void surrounding Southern Maniac Mountain, serving as protectors for Jiang Chen.

If Jiang Chen were attacked here, it would truly invite laughter!

No one knew how many elixirs Jiang Chen crafted in those three months, but what was known was that he handed over twenty Ninth Grade Dao pills with one pattern and five with two patterns!

Such a rate of pill crafting drove all forces into frenzy.

The title of Grandmaster Jiang Chen, master of Nine Grade Dao pills, thoroughly resonated across Canglan Continent, radiating towards the entire Void Nether Realm!

As Jiang Chen’s name resounded in the Void Nether Realm, a group of fourteen left Changlin Academy, appearing in Cross-Border City.

In front of the Great Teleportation Array in Cross-Border City.

Jiang Chen and the others waited quietly.

Cross-Border City had five Great Teleportation Arrays, four connecting to the other four continents, and the largest one connecting to the Battlefield Realm.

At that moment, everyone waited in front of the teleportation array connecting to Xiwu Continent.

Such a teleportation array isn’t something you can use at will; it requires time to start for such long-distance travel.

If it were only Zhao Buzu and the others, they might directly traverse through space to the other continents. However, bringing Jiang Chen and company was different, especially with five Integration Realm cultivators. It’s not that Zhao Buzu and the others couldn’t protect them during transit, but such a traversal consumed significantly. Previously, Si Wenhao single-handedly traversing space with Jiang Chen couldn’t even battle before crossing, despite being a Supreme Pinnacle escorting a single person, consuming immensely—much less five people.

In terms of spatial traversal, there’s no distinction between the Integration Path and Divine Infant Realm!

"Hey, have you heard? A repository left by a Supreme Pinnacle expert has appeared on Xiwu Continent! Inside are that expert’s insights on the Great Dao of heaven and earth and his personal Dao understanding!"

"Of course I’ve heard! This trip, I’m just hoping to try my luck!"

"You? Come on! Right now, that repository is surrounded by Xiwu Continent’s factions; the Royal Family, five supreme forces, and sixteen top powers all gathered there. With your strength, you hope to reap benefits? Not unless you want someone to snuff you out with a mere wave!"

"I’ve heard that the repository hasn’t opened yet and the five supreme forces seem to have started bickering already. The Dao Zun must be anything but ordinary, or else it wouldn’t be valued so highly by the five supreme forces!"

"You know nothing! My cousin’s husband’s uncle’s grandson’s master belongs to the Blood Soul Hall, one of the supreme forces. I’ve heard him say that the repository seems to be a Dragon Clan expert’s trove!"

"Dragon Clan?!"

"Keep your voice down, are you looking to die?!"

The murmured conversation reached Jiang Chen and his group, changing their expressions as they glanced at two middle-aged men nearby.

Both middle-aged men were of Void Refinement Realm strength, appearing to have some background, as their power alone couldn’t afford the expenses of intercontinental teleportation array use.

Realizing everyone’s gaze, the two men hurriedly lowered their heads, ceasing their conversation.

"Dragon Clan?"

Jiang Chen muttered softly, a gleam in his eyes, turning to Zhao Buzu: "Teacher, can we go have a look?"

Upon hearing, the group looked towards Zhao Buzu, eyes filled with anticipation.

Zhao Buzu scanned the group, smiling faintly: "Alright, let’s go have a look, but remember, if you wish to enter the repository, you must seize your own opportunity. The academy only ensures your safety, not assist in obtaining entry opportunities into the repository!"

"Understood!"

Everyone was overjoyed, nodding lightly.

Zhao Buzu gazed at Jiang Chen with deep implications: "Jiang Chen, while our Void Nether Academy fears no forces, sometimes the academy cannot act openly. Beyond Canglan Continent, the only person who can act on your behalf is me, as your teacher. Even the fifth apprentice can’t act as before; it’s a regulation of the academy."

"Of course, if someone deliberately provokes or targets you, the fifth apprentice and Changfeng can intervene. But concerning your wishes, due to academy status consideration, they cannot act freely—you must understand this!"

Si Wenhao and Liu Changfeng were slightly stunned, looking at Zhao Buzu in surprise.

Cheng Huang’er and others also wore expressions of confusion.

Jiang Chen’s eyes flashed with doubt, gazing at Zhao Buzu in a daze.

Zhao Buzu stared intensely at Jiang Chen without speaking, yet a hint of worry lingered deep within his eyes.

Suddenly, Jiang Chen’s eyes flashed with realization. Smiling slightly, he said, "Teacher is worried about my Dao Heart becoming unsteady, that I may rely on you all and slack off, is that so? I..."

"It’s not concern over your slack in cultivation, just that you don’t form dependencies! You’ve never slacked in cultivation, but ask your heart, do you have such dependency feelings? Or rather, when faced with an invincible foe, what’s your first reaction?"

Zhao Buzu’s gaze hardened, speaking solemnly.

"Naturally to find..."

Jiang Chen spoke without hesitation, then abruptly halted!

Cold sweat streamed swiftly from his forehead, Jiang Chen’s eyes showing horrified realization!

Phew!

Zhao Buzu breathed a sigh of relief, smiling with satisfaction.

This lad, it seems he can discern after all!

The group looked at the suddenly frozen Jiang Chen with confusion, eyes full of inquiry.

"What’s wrong?"

Tang Jie asked softly to Yue Muchen.

Yue Muchen shook his head lightly, equally bewildered.

"I understand!"

Ren Cangsheng spoke quietly, looking at Jiang Chen with a different expression.

Tang Jie and the others gazed at Ren Cangsheng, revealing curious expressions.

Ren Cangsheng didn’t explain, instead fixed his gaze on Jiang Chen, eyes filled with expectancy.

He hoped Jiang Chen would come to realize himself!
