Chapter 307: Chapter 181: Kneel and Slap Yourself 10 Times

"Which Grotto Heaven?"

Chen Xuan asked.

"It’s one of Great Xia’s."

Situ Fang whispered.

"Let’s go take a look!"

Chen Xuan immediately shot over.

He was just trying to rack up some retribution points, and these guys had the gall to walk right into the line of fire.

This was a stroke of incredible luck!

However, after he shot forward, the few figures at the valley entrance immediately became incredibly respectful. They showed no intention of fighting; each one was more docile than the last.

"Greetings, Yama Chen..."

"Yama Chen, you’ve arrived..."

"Hello, hello..."

The three masters from the Grotto Heavens forced smiles and bowed in greeting.

News about Chen Xuan had been spreading like wildfire recently. How could they not be afraid?

Not long ago, he had just challenged each of their Grotto Heavens.

He’d beaten dozens of Inner Realm experts so badly they didn’t dare to show their faces!

Even a few of the "second Chu Shanhes" had avoided a direct confrontation, admitting they were no match.

Who were they to dare bare their teeth at him?

So, the moment they saw Chen Xuan, each one became more obedient than the last.

"Who are you? Which mountain are you from?"

Chen Xuan frowned.

"I am Zhangyun, from Celestial Swift Mountain."

One of them revealed a smile and said, "This is my younger brother, Zhang Yue, and the other is Dong Peng."

The other two also immediately forced a smile at Chen Xuan.

"What are you doing here? Don’t you know this is Martial Alliance territory?"

Chen Xuan questioned.

"We know it’s your territory..."

Zhangyun looked awkward. "We just wanted to discuss with you... to see if we could perhaps cooperate and enter together..."

"Cooperate?"

Chen Xuan frowned. "What can you offer? Strength? Information? Or heavenly materials and earthly treasures?"

"Well... why don’t I have our leader come and speak with you?"

Zhangyun couldn’t help but say.

Their only purpose in coming this time was to send a signal.

"Fine. Go and relay the message."

Chen Xuan said.

’If they can offer heavenly materials and earthly treasures, that would be for the best.’

"Then we’ll take our leave!"

Zhangyun immediately led the other two away, departing quickly.

Heaven knows how uncomfortable he felt from head to toe under Chen Xuan’s gaze...

’Damn you, Chen Xuan.’

’Could he have broken through again?’

As the group left, Chen Xuan walked directly to the mouth of the valley and headed inside. At the very front of the valley, a vast expanse of white mist was churning. Deep within the mist, a bizarre spatial rift had appeared.

It looked like a piece of cracked, transparent glass.

Through the cracks, one could clearly see inside. It seemed to be a different world, filled with dilapidated buildings that were extremely ancient. A gloomy aura pervaded the place, making it feel like a graveyard.

It gave off an indescribably strange feeling.

However, the spatial rift was still very narrow at the moment. It was over thirty centimeters high and about a dozen centimeters wide. It extended inward for more than ten meters, getting narrower the deeper it went, making it difficult for a person to pass through.

"Elder Chen, the spatial rift here is still expanding," Situ Fang explained. "When we first discovered it, it was only the size of a bowl. Now, after a few days, it’s as big as a basin. I estimate that in a few more days, people will be able to pass through."

He continued, "We’ve tied up rabbits and pheasants with ropes and thrown them in before. There are no restrictive formations inside, so it should be safe to cross!"

"Haven’t you ever heard of a martial art called the Bone Shrinking Skill? Has anyone shrunk down to go inside and take a look?"

Chen Xuan asked.

"Well... we haven’t come across such an extraordinary person yet."

Situ Fang said sheepishly.

The Bone Shrinking Skill.

’That’s such a low-level technique.’

’We’re not tomb raiders, why would we practice a skill like that?’

"Alright."

Chen Xuan nodded. He crouched down and first tried smashing the rift with his palm, but found he couldn’t budge it. Then, he pressed his head against the spatial rift and peered inside.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and he focused his gaze intently.

’What the hell?’

A blurry black shadow flashed past in the distance. Its body seemed to be pixelated, making it hard to see clearly.

Its speed was like a flash of lightning.

...

「At this very moment.」

At the Northern Barbarians’ stronghold, experts had gathered.

The leaders of several major Northern Barbarian powers—aside from those who had already ventured deep into the Dark World—had almost all assembled.

This included the Palace Master of the Arctic Palace, Zhao Man.

The Palace Master of the Grand Yin Mystic Palace, Helian Yu.

The Sect Leader of the Black Cloud Sect, Elder Cang Er.

The Fate High Priest of the Longevity Sect, Yundao!

A total of four Outer Saint Level masters.

And also the Longevity Sect’s Celestial Saintess, the fifty-nine-year-old Su Lun!

"..."

Dressed in a sacrificial robe of snow-white ice silk, Su Lun sat in the seat of honor.

Her expression was serene, her skin like polished jade, and her eyes as clear as water. An indescribable air of sanctity and authority emanated from her, making it impossible for others to look at her directly. She was like a lofty celestial god from the highest heavens, in effortless control of everything.

Even though her cultivation was the lowest among them.

In terms of actual strength, she surpassed them all!

This was the [Six Paths Samsara Body], one of the Flawless Great Saint Physiques.

It allowed her to freely traverse the cycle of reincarnation, retaining all the memories and cultivation from her previous lives, accumulating her foundation with each new life.

With each reincarnation, ninety percent of her previous life’s cultivation would be automatically sealed. She would need to cultivate anew to unseal it, after which her power would advance by leaps and bounds, her foundation becoming so powerful it could defy the heavens.

She was now in her third life.

Although on the surface she was only at the Outer Saint First Layer, when it came to her true strength... no one knew how powerful she really was.

As a result, even the veteran Outer Saints present did not dare to act presumptuously.

"Goddess, please say something."

The Fate High Priest, Yundao, couldn’t help but speak up again. "Over thirty Inner Realm experts were all killed. This is an unprecedented loss! And Tuoba Hu was our Fate Elder. We absolutely cannot let this matter rest..."

The others all feigned impassivity, looking down as if deep in thought.

They wanted to hear how this Goddess Su Lun would handle the situation.

Su Lun crossed her legs. One pale hand gently cradled her chin, while the other lightly tapped the armrest of her chair.
