Chapter 141: Advancing into the Four Elephant Realm
——
Pagoda outside trial tower.
The atmosphere has become so quiet that a pin drop can be heard.
Silence.
Endless silence, no one speaks, everyone's mind is in a state of shock and confusion.
Chen Tai and Su Jiao led more than a hundred young men from the Su family into battle, and everyone's attention was focused on this battlefield.
On the other hand, there were over a hundred Purple Mansion disciples from the Su family, representing the entire elite forces of the younger generation of the Su family. In other words, they represented the future of the Su family, and every single one of them had the potential to grow into an extraordinary figure.
On the other hand, there were Chen Xiao's two brothers and seven young disciples of the Liu Yun Sword Sect.
Chen Xiao doesn't need to be mentioned, now his reputation in Longyuan City is like the sun at noon, unmatched.
His younger brother's name is not seen in the legend, but at the age of fifteen, he had already cultivated to the Purple Mansion Seven Stars, grasping the majestic sword intent, and was also a stunning genius.
Among those seven disciples of Liu Yun, Fei Lengcui was the leader of the younger generation of Liu Yun Jian Zong and a well-known genius girl in Longyuan City.
With such a luxurious lineup, who else can't help but pay attention?
As expected, this battle was thrilling and brutal, absolutely the most exciting one since the Dragon Ranking Tournament, a classic battle that will be recorded in the annals of Longyuan City.
In this battle, there were towering and majestic Haoran Sword Dao, the ruthless and unparalleled Purple Qing Twin Blades that could seal off all directions, and the Three Water Chess Lattice Array that could annihilate a Two Instrument Golden Dan cultivator... But if one had to say what was the most dazzling and attention-grabbing, it would undoubtedly be Chen Suo.
His combat skills, strategies, and the power he displayed were all unexpectedly powerful, as if they were strokes of a divine brush, leaving people amazed and with an aftertaste that was endless.
When he was seen being imprisoned in countless chains, everyone thought he would surely die. However, when he broke free from his shackles and stood up, the crowd finally understood that Chen Tai had been hiding his strength all along, just like a lone wolf hiding its fangs, only to reveal them at the most critical moment!
Divine Demon Body Refining Technique!
Magic!
Hundred-meter range of divine power - Great Hand Seal!
Witnessing the Su family's children dying one by one under that terrifying giant handprint, witnessing Chen Xiao slaughtering in all directions like an ancient demon god, watching him reverse the course of nature with his own strength... All of this was so shocking, so unbelievable, that everyone present didn't dare to believe their eyes.
They didn't realize until now that Chen Yao wasn't just a talented Qi Refiner who grasped the Way, but also practiced demonic body refinement and had reached the Violet Palace Realm, mastering an extremely terrifying divine ability!
Until Su Jiao left the Floating Pagoda Trial Tower with hatred, this battle finally came to an end.
But for everyone present, every scene of this battle, every detail, has been echoing in their minds, speechless for a long time.
"Seventeen years old, and he's already at the Violet Palace Realm in Body Refining, Violet Palace Realm in Qi Refining, and Dao Intent Realm in Martial Arts... This guy is simply a freakishly talented genius!"
"With a ruthless and cunning mind, meticulous plans, and no strategy left unthought of, what will become of this freak who is well-versed in both literary and military arts if he grows up?"
"Nor did he know if he had any other trump cards that hadn't been revealed yet, with this guy's temperament, he would absolutely not expose all his trump cards."
It was unknown how long it took, but the silent crowd suddenly erupted like a boiling pot, and all kinds of voices burst forth, with all sorts of topics revolving around Chen Yao, making a huge commotion.
On the jade platform, Su Zhen Tian's face had turned so gloomy that it was frightening, his expression ferocious to the extreme, and the intense killing aura emanating from his body could not be concealed.
At this moment, Su Zhen Tian was like a volcano on the verge of eruption. The masters of the various families nearby did not dare to provoke him, and as for what they were thinking in their hearts, it was impossible to know.
After all, who can see that those 132 Su family disciples are almost the entire elite of the young generation of the Su family. Losing nearly a hundred people at once is a devastating blow, hurting their tendons and bones. Even the Su family may face the predicament of having no successors, if so, the Su family is not far from decline and extinction.
——

"Unfortunately, they only killed 97 people, and 35 of them managed to escape by using the jade transmission talismans..."
Chen Xiao sighed silently, his eyes scanning the ground where pieces of flesh were scattered everywhere. With a wave of his sleeve, he picked up the storage artifacts that had fallen to the ground. He counted them and found that there were seventy-three in total: storage rings, bracelets, waistbands...
"A man cannot become rich without unexpected wealth, a horse cannot become fat without nighttime grass. The ancients were indeed not deceiving me. These guys are all Purple Mansion cultivators of the Su family, the treasures inside their storage magic tools should be extremely abundant, it's actually a bargain for me." Chen Yao didn't investigate what was inside, but rather took everything in.
Although the Su family's children and grandchildren were either dead or escaped, the previous big battle had attracted countless pairs of eyes to watch. With Chen Yao's divine sense, at least a thousand people were found hiding in the surrounding area. This was not the time to clean up the spoils of war.
What's more important is that he can easily escape, but his younger brother and several other disciples of the Liuyun Sword Sect have already exhausted their true yuan. At this moment, if they are taken advantage of by others, it will be troublesome.
"Let's go, let's leave this place first." Chen Xiao swept his sleeves and a treasure ship appeared in the air, carrying his brother and others, breaking through the clouds and flying away to a distant place.
This treasure ship was a gift from the Old Turtle King Xuan Jing, and it is itself a magical artifact. Its speed is incredibly fast, to say nothing of its ability to withstand a full-force blow from a cultivator in the Violet Palace Realm. In the first layer of this treasure tower, it's already more than sufficient.
"This guy's power is terrifying, he actually cultivates both body and spirit, it seems that next time I meet him, I must be more careful, but my Void Sword Intent has already reached a high level, so I'm not afraid of him either."
Just as Chen Xiao left, a young man with a scholar's scarf appeared on a nearby hill. His eyebrows were thick and black like ink, his eyes bright like an eagle, and he had three long swords slung over his back. He exuded an aura of sharpness and dominance. At this moment, he was gazing at the treasure ship disappearing into the distance, frowning in deep thought.
If there was someone here, they would definitely be able to recognize this person's identity, who is none other than Qiu Leng, the dazzling genius from Qingyang Gate, one of the eight major sects, known as "Void Sword".
"Run! This guy's strength is far beyond what we can handle. If you're unlucky enough to meet him, it's best not to provoke him. If you can escape, then escape."
"It's a good thing we didn't make a move, otherwise we would have ended up like the young master of the Su family."
"Remember, inside this trial tower, you absolutely must not make an enemy of this person."
Not only "Void Sword" Qiu Leng, but also the young masters from other major forces who were watching the battle nearby, witnessed Chen Xiao's reversal of the situation with his own strength. Their hearts had already risen to a stormy sea, and they didn't dare have any thoughts of taking advantage of the fire to loot. At this time, they all turned their heads and left, not daring to chase after the treasure ship carrying Chen Xiao.
In a secluded mountain valley.
A treasure ship suddenly descended, and Chen Tai and his brother Chen Huan walked down, walking into a secret rock crevice next to it. Behind the rock crevice was a natural stone cave.
Chen Xiao's eyes scanned the surroundings, nodding slowly. If not for his extraordinary spiritual power, it would be hard to discover that there was a stone cave here, perfect for cultivating and resting.
"Brother, you and Fei'niang and the others hurry up and recover your strength. If my guess is correct, we might be transported to the second floor of the Treasure Tower, Sì Xiàng Jìng, soon." Chen Xiao instructed.
"Hmm." Chen Hao nodded, he also knew that the two thousand cultivators who could enter the second layer of Four Symbol Realm were all outstanding talents who had emerged from intense competition and slaughter. To compete with them for dominance and ultimately enter the third layer of Two Instrument Realm, recovering his strength was the top priority.
Feilong and others also knew that the situation was urgent, so they didn't say much. At this moment, they admired Chen Yao's cultivation to the extreme, and they listened to Chen Yao's words as if they were orders. They immediately sat down cross-legged on the ground, took out the spiritual liquid, and began to cultivate their breath.
"Ling Bai, guard the entrance well, I also need to recover a bit." Chen Tai transmitted his voice.
"Hand it over, I'll take care of one with a single blow." Xiao Ling Bai had been cooped up in the storage ring for a long time and was getting impatient. Upon hearing this, he flew to the entrance of the cave with a fierce aura, his small body straight as a spear.
Ling Bai's cultivation was already on par with the best of Huang Ting's realm, and he had also inherited his master's unparalleled Silent Destruction Sword Dao. In this treasure pagoda that was only at the Purple Mansion Realm, he was simply an existence above all others. With him guarding the entrance, Chen Xuan was completely at ease.
Without further delay, Chen Xiao found a place to sit cross-legged on the ground, took out a bottle of spiritual liquid, circulated the "Ice Crane Technique", closed his eyes and regulated his breath.
Three hours later.
Chen Hao and Fei Lengcui and others woke up from their cultivation one after another, looking refreshed and rejuvenated. Their eyes sparkled with a newfound clarity, and it was clear that their actual strength had made significant progress. It was evident that the intense battle they had just experienced had greatly benefited their cultivation. This was the charm of real combat - to emerge stronger after being tempered in the fires of war was only natural.
"What kind of kung fu is your brother practicing? It's even more mysterious than the 'Flowing Clouds and Muddled Caves' that we're practicing."
Feilongtui raised her eyes and saw that Chen Tai's body, sitting cross-legged on the ground, was surrounded by a layer of icy aura like ice crystals. With each breath, it stretched out long and strong, as if swallowing and spitting out an icy dragon, whistling and wandering, with a magnificent atmosphere.
Chen Hao shook his head and said, "I haven't seen my brother for two years. Two years ago, he was still in the congenital triple boundary realm. He practiced our family's ancestral 'Purple Cloud Art'. As for what kind of technique he is practicing now, I don't know either."
Two years ago was just congenital triple boundary?
Upon hearing this, it wasn't just Fei Lengcui who was shocked, but also the other six Flowing Cloud Sect disciples, whose faces all showed a hint of astonishment.
"It seems that your brother should have a great encounter, in two years' time, he reached the Purple Mansion Six Star Realm, and his physical cultivation also has the cultivation of the Purple Mansion Realm. With such talent, even I am inferior to him." Feng Qingxue shook her head and sighed.
"Sister, who doesn't know that you're only seventeen years old and are about to enter the Purple Mansion's ninth level? You're also close to condensing your own Ice Snow Dao Domain. In our Flowing Cloud Sword Sect, who can surpass you?" Qing Luo, a disciple, spoke up, his voice filled with genuine admiration.
"I'm no match for Chen Hao, he entered the sect just two years ago and has already cultivated from the Pre-Heavenly Realm to the Seventh Layer of the Purple Mansion. He's even grasped the unparalleled sword intent of the heavens and earth. I'm afraid that in a few more years, Chen Hao will become the number one among our Flowing Cloud Sword Sect's thirty-six true disciples."
"Yes, indeed, Chen Huan's qualifications are truly extraordinary and enviable." The others also nodded in agreement.
"Is it extraordinary? As long as you work hard and practice diligently, focus on the Tao, anyone can achieve it. So-called genius, apart from talent, diligence and effort are the most important." Chen Xiao said with a smile after waking up from meditation.
He has now fully recovered his true yuan, and he can vaguely feel that he is about to break through. He knows that it won't be long before he will definitely step into the Purple Mansion Seven Stars realm. Moreover, after absorbing the star power from the two pieces of Star Charms Stone, the witchcraft between his flesh and skin has also become more profound, but there is still a considerable distance to go before advancing to the next level.
"It's been several hours since we entered the Eight Palaces Realm. After a fierce battle, I'm afraid there are only about two thousand cultivators left inside. Let's wait here and recharge our energy." Chen Tai said slowly.
Buzz!
But just as his voice fell, a void vortex suddenly appeared above everyone's head, and a powerful suction force swept out. The next moment, Chen Xiao and others all disappeared from the spot.
Obviously, more than 10,000 Zifu cultivators who entered the Eight Palaces Realm have eliminated over 8,000 people, and the remaining 2,000 people have all been transmitted into the second floor of the Treasure Pagoda - Sisi Realm!
