Chapter 274: Chapter 173: A Companion Jade Seal? I’ll Smash It With One Slap

The Dragon Vein’s Spiritual Qi was completely drained.

The three Chai siblings and Yan Guichen finally leaped up, jumping out of the massive pit and landing back on the floating platform.

Everyone was glowing with vigor, their eyes flashing with light.

They had clearly all made great gains.

"Brother Chen, come on, I’ll take you for a tour of my home."

Chai Yuan invited him proactively, a wide smile on his face.

"Yeah, Brother Chen, come be a guest at our home. We have lots of good food."

Chai Hao chimed in with a smile.

"There’s no need to be a guest. It wouldn’t be right to impose so suddenly. Besides, I haven’t prepared a gift."

Chen Xuan shook his head.

He was naturally averse to things like social visits with friends and relatives.

"Don’t say that! You’re already here, so you should have some fun before you go."

Chai Yuan quickly said, then suddenly had a thought and added, "If you don’t want to go to my home, you could go to Grotto Heaven City. It’s incredibly lively there. It’d be nice to check that out too."

"Grotto Heaven City?"

Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow.

"It’s also a Small Secret Realm, vast in area, like a small city. It specifically serves the various Grotto Heavens. It has inns, academies, and shops selling all sorts of things. While it’s not as big as the black markets in the outside world, it’s still pretty good."

Chai Yuan said.

"A place like that exists?"

A glint appeared in Chen Xuan’s eyes. "Then I’d like to go see it."

’What if I can find some good stuff there?’

"Let’s go, I’ll lead the way!"

Chai Yuan was full of excitement.

"Young Hero Chen, I am also willing to accompany you!"

Yan Guichen immediately followed.

After witnessing Chen Xuan’s astonishing power, he had made up his mind to latch onto this powerhouse and never let go.

The group swept out from the depths of the floating platform.

The crowd still kneeling outside paled and quickly lowered their heads again, terrified that Chen Xuan would discover they had moved in his absence.

"Kneel properly. You’re not allowed to get up for three days."

Chen Xuan gave them a cursory glance and spoke indifferently.

"Did you hear that? My Brother Chen told you to kneel here for three straight days!"

Yan Guichen shouted.

’Lackey!’

Many cursed inwardly.

’Is this still the same ’Iron Weights’ Yan Guichen?’

’What happened to your ’turtle eating an iron weight’ stubborn ferocity?’

’So you just chicken out when you meet someone tougher than you.’

’But don’t get too arrogant. The news has already spread. Soon, an expert will come out to deal with Chen Xuan.’

’Even if he runs back to the outside world, it’s useless.’

’What? You think you can just run away after showing off so much in our Grotto Heaven world?’

’Even if they have to chase you all the way to the Martial Alliance, someone will still give you a beating!’

But they never would have imagined that Chen Xuan had no intention of running at all.

He had reached the Inner Realm Sixth Layer, and his strength had skyrocketed once again.

’Run?’

’Are you kidding me?’

As long as no one from the Celestial Rankings showed up, no one could take him down right now!

While the masters of the major Grotto Heavens were away, he had to squeeze these Grotto Heaven experts dry.

He had to wring out every last drop of juice they had.

’By the time those Grotto Heaven masters return, maybe I’ll be on the Celestial Rankings myself.’

’Surprised?’

’Shocked?’

So Chen Xuan had to seize this once-in-a-lifetime window of opportunity.

Outside, Ancient Star River had been waiting for a long time. Seeing them emerge, his eyes lit up and he said, "Kid, are you guys done?"

"Yeah. I’m about to go check out Grotto Heaven City. Want to come?"

Chen Xuan asked.

"Grotto Heaven City? What are you going there for? We’ve got plenty of black markets outside where you can find anything."

The little old man said.

"When in Rome... I want to see what a black market in the Grotto Heaven world looks like. What if they have something I need?"

Chen Xuan said.

"Alright then, I’ll go with you."

Ancient Star River replied.

The group set off once more, quickly disappearing from the area.

...

「At this very moment.」

Inside Grotto Heaven City, people came and went in a bustling crowd. Rows of buildings stood shoulder to shoulder. On the streets, all kinds of birds and beasts pulled carriages to and fro. The occasional shouts of vendors hawking their wares rang out, filling the air with the lively atmosphere of the mortal world. It was an exceptionally prosperous scene.

The news of Chen Xuan entering the Grotto Heaven world had clearly already spread throughout Grotto Heaven City.

Almost everyone knew that the infamous Chen Xuan from the outside world had entered the Grotto Heaven world.

And he was already going around challenging everyone in the Grotto Heaven world..

Almost all the guys who participated in the Dragon Vein’s Spiritual Qi baptism had been beaten up.

"Damn it, this Chen Xuan is insane! He just got here and he’s already beaten up so many people!"

"I heard that no one at the secret realm was spared. They were all forced to kneel in a row."

"No way! Huyan Yunlong and Li Heihu were forced to kneel too?"

"Bullshit, how could they not kneel? Chen Xuan is in the Inner Realm. No matter how tough those two are, what could they possibly do?"

"This Chen Xuan really suppressed everyone at the secret realm all by himself!"

Discussions like these echoed through every street.

In short!

In a word!

Chen Xuan is in the Grotto Heavens!

This news alone was enough.

It wasn’t just a sensation among the younger generation!

It caused a sensation among the older generation too!

They all wanted to see what was so special about this newly ascended Inner Realm expert.

And how did that bastard Chu Shanhe manage to train him?

...

Inside a certain inn.

Two figures stood with their arms crossed, exuding a profound aura, their gazes deep and unfathomable.

One was a man, Song Baoyi from Tiankui Mountain, known as the "second Chu Shanhe." He was born with a celestial phenomenon and possessed extraordinary strength. At his birth, the hall filled with golden light as Primordial Qi gathered and coalesced into the shape of a Jade Seal above his roof.

From then on, the Jade Seal accompanied him, and his Cultivation broke through three times in a single day, shaking all corners of the world.

This year, he was thirty-nine years old and at the Inner Realm First Layer.

His true combat strength was greater than even someone at the Inner Realm Third Layer.

The other was a woman in tight-fitting martial attire, her long hair loose, and a wild look in her eyes.

She was a descendant of the Wu family from Celestial Wound Mountain, named Wu Yunxue!

The Wu family’s ancestor was a natural-born Tai Sui, nicknamed the ’Wanderer.’ He once cut down the entire Grotto Heaven world with a single saber. Their family’s Tai Sui Blood has flowed from that ancestor for several thousand years, continuing to this day.
