Chapter 264: Chapter 170: The Human List Is Updated Again! The Grotto Heaven World Is in an Uproar

The crowd rushing toward the outskirts of the secret realm was now even more amused.

"Heh, Lord Chai, why aren’t you exploring the secret realm anymore?"

"Lord Chai, what happened to your face?"

"Remember this! From now on, if there’s another secret realm or anything like it, we’ll beat up anyone from Celestial Treasure Mountain who shows up!"

Many people laughed.

"Brother, let’s just go back!"

His clan sister, Chai Yu, had eyes red from crying. She had been struck dozens of times, and her cheeks were swollen.

’Those bastards even hit a woman!’

"You sons of bitches, I’m not done with you! Celestial Might Mountain! Celestial Killing Mountain! Just you wait!"

Chai Yuan roared in anger.

"Idiot. Say one more word, and I’ll make you crawl back!"

A man from Celestial Might Mountain said coldly.

Chai Yuan was instantly scared into silence and could only flee in a hurry with his clan brother and sister.

Just as he was brimming with anger he couldn’t vent, he suddenly overheard a group of people talking.

"This Chen Xuan is incredible. An Inner Realm expert at twenty... How the fuck did he cultivate that fast?"

"He must have drunk Dragon Blood!"

"Even if you drank Dragon Blood, there’s no way you could reach the Inner Realm by twenty!"

"Dammit, our Grotto Heaven world is losing face. A hundred years ago we were overshadowed by Chu Shanhe, and a hundred years later we’re being overshadowed by Chen Xuan. The key thing is, each one is more monstrous than the last."

...

All sorts of comments could be heard.

A large group of people headed toward the secret realm.

Chai Yuan’s expression froze, his mind reeling. He quickly rushed forward, grabbed a man, and asked, "Friend, when you say Chen Xuan, are you talking about the Chen Xuan from the outside world who’s number one on the Human List?"

"You’re from Celestial Treasure Mountain?"

The man frowned, staring at Chai Yuan.

Chai Yuan looked embarrassed. He rubbed his bleeding nose and said, "That’s right!"

"Why didn’t they beat you to death? Scram! Don’t ask me!"

The man flew into a rage and stormed off.

’Dammit, Celestial Treasure Mountain is so rich in resources, and they still fucking come out to hog secret realms?’

’They should have beaten you all to death!’

Chai Yuan’s face turned ashen with rage.

’Fine, fine, fine!’

’So you all think you’re so tough, huh?’

"Brother, let’s go back. If we stay any longer, someone’s really going to beat us to death," said his clan brother, Chai Hao, his face black and blue.

"Wait! I’ll go find someone to stand up for you!"

Furious, Chai Yuan stomped his foot and ran straight for the exit.

’I have a connection with Chen Xuan. I once gifted Chen Xuan many rare treasures. If I bring Chen Xuan over to help, let’s see which son of a bitch dares to stop us from entering! Trying to gang up and exclude the Chai family? You’re all dreaming!’

"Brother, where are you going?"

Chai Yu shouted, her eyes red.

"Stop asking and wait here!"

Chai Yuan shouted once more before quickly disappearing.

...

「Martial Alliance Headquarters.」

Chen Xuan and Ancient Star River were dividing up the treasures.

Seven or eight large bundles had been opened in the courtyard, and all sorts of items were scattered across the ground.

There were Heart Methods, martial arts techniques, ancient tomes, rare artifacts, elixirs, and all kinds of heavenly materials...

Chen Xuan was only focused on rummaging through the many items, looking for what he wanted.

’Not bad.’

He found four stalks of rare herbs for cultivation.

As for the others—for healing, recovery, and body tempering—there were over fifty stalks in total.

"Kid, want to take a look at this sword?"

Ancient Star River grabbed a dark, black-colored ancient sword and said, "This should be a King’s Sword. Although it’s a bit worse than the one our grandmaster left behind, it’s still incomparably sharp and can cut through anything!"

"Cut through anything?"

Chen Xuan frowned. "Can it kill a Heaven List expert?"

"Well, no!"

"What about the Earth List?"

"Ahem, no to that either!"

Ancient Star River looked sheepish.

"Then what’s the point? Stop showing off."

Chen Xuan replied, "I don’t use a sword. My hands are my weapons!"

"Then what about this Supreme Inner Armor? This is great stuff!"

Ancient Star River immediately pulled out a piece of brilliant red armor from the side.

"That’s for a woman to wear. You can keep it," Chen Xuan said.

"Fine!"

Ancient Star River looked helpless.

The two of them continued to rummage through the items, looking for other treasures.

Suddenly, Chen Xuan’s eyes flashed. He noticed an item, snatched it from the ground, and asked, "What is this?"

It was a piece of pitch-black bone.

It was as thick as an arm and carved with strange runes.

The moment he picked it up, a sinister, baleful energy surged out, rushing straight for his mind.

"Let me see!"

Ancient Star River took it dubiously and examined it closely, his heart jolting.

"A vertebra from a Primordial Giant Demon!"

"Huh?"

Chen Xuan looked startled. "A vertebra from a Primordial Giant Demon? It’s this small?"

"No, this is what’s left after it was refined. I’m sure of it. The original body was as large as a house; only this much remains after refinement."

Ancient Star River looked stunned. "Incredible, absolutely incredible! To think Black Demon Mountain managed to get their hands on this. Our Martial Alliance has a Cultivation Technique, [Primordial Barbaric Energy], that was created back then by an Outer Saint elder who observed the vertebrae of a Primordial Giant Demon."

"Let me see it again!"

Chen Xuan grabbed it again and examined it closely.

This time, he felt that the runes on it were somewhat dazzling.

Every rune was twisted and contorted, as if it had come to life.

When he focused on sensing it, even the Primordial Barbaric Energy inside his body began to resonate with it, as if it had encountered an aura from the very same source.

"Excellent. I’m taking this!" Chen Xuan said.

’With my retribution points, I can definitely perfect [Primordial Barbaric Energy] even further. In ancient times, the Primordial Giant Demons could tear the heavens and crack the earth. Their power was terrifying, and they were absolutely one of the most fearsome beings between heaven and earth.’

He put it away directly.

He spent some more time searching.

After about four hours had passed, he finally stood up.

"You can have the rest. I don’t want it."

"You really don’t want any of it?"

Ancient Star River said, looking back, "Then I’ll hand it all over to the Martial Alliance."

"Do whatever you want."
