Chapter 561 The Troubles of Leveling Up

Zi Donglai is a divine being, possessing the ability to emulate the heavens and the earth.

Standing tall and upright, with the clouds only reaching his waist, his body resembled Mount Buzhou, his hands like a curtain covering the sky, and a city lay in his palm like the yolk of an egg.

With a single palm strike, the Nine Demon City collapsed like a spinning top, and tens of thousands of Nine Demon soldiers were swatted like mosquitoes against a wall, their blood splattering and their afterimages fading away, displaying a devastating power that could destroy heaven and earth.

The leader of the Nine Demons fled at the first sign of trouble, narrowly escaping with his life; those who failed to seize the opportunity were all beheaded under his banner.

Its divine might is inviolable, and no one in the celestial realm can surpass it.

……

When the major powers in Taishan City received the battle reports, their eyes were full of questions and their mouths were agape.

They all recognize the characters, but when they're put together, they look so fake.

"Were these people in charge of intelligence gathering so afraid of death that they didn't dare to go to Tianyang City to observe the battlefield, and instead just wrote a fictional battle report to get by?"

No one dared to believe this battle report, because it was simply too absurd.

What about the laws of heaven and earth, what about destroying a city with a single palm strike, what about the demon who could not withstand the wind and fled?

Is this supposed to be about Zi Donglai? That's complete nonsense.
Throughout the long history of human cultivation spanning thousands of years, I have never heard of anything so outrageous.

Zi Donglai is just a cultivator of the Four Awakenings. No matter how strong he is, he can't be that strong. Even a top-tier cultivator of the Six Awakenings can't be as outrageous as described in the battle report.

"I asked you to write battle reports for me, not to write a novel for me." Xuan Dongyue frowned as she looked at Xiao Qian who had returned and placed the battle report in her hand on the table in front of her.

Not only Xuan Dongyue didn't believe it, but anyone who received the battle report also disbelieved it after reading it.

“Lord of the city, although I know this is absurd, ridiculous, and unbelievable, I saw it all with my own eyes, and every word is true, without a single falsehood,” Mr. Xiao said with a strange expression.

He could hardly believe what he was seeing, but it was the truth. Nine Demon City was slammed down with a single palm strike, and Mr. Xiao still felt like he was dreaming.

Xuan Dongyue looked at Xiao Qian and saw that Xiao Qian's gaze was firm and not feigned, so she went back to look at the battle report.

“It’s impossible for a cultivator of the Four Awakenings to possess such divine power through their own cultivation alone. It must be a life-saving measure given to him by the Devouring Spirit God. It seems that this person is not just a chosen messenger of the Devouring Spirit God. The Devouring Spirit God must value him highly, otherwise he would not have given him such a life-saving measure…” Xuan Dongyue pondered.

The other major powers reacted in much the same way as Xuan Dongyue.

Nobody believed it; it was Zi Donglai's own power.

However, since each side sent back battle reports, and the contents of the reports were largely the same, people had no choice but to believe them.

Basically, the leaders of each family were similar to Xuan Dongyue, believing that it was a life-saving measure given to Zi Donglai by the Devouring Spirit God, and could not be his own true combat strength.

The Ziyang Legion has established a firm foothold in Tianyang City, and it is estimated that the demons of the Nine Demon Cities will not attack Tianyang City again for the time being.

With such a large territory as Nine Demon City, each side needs someone to guard it, and they can't spare too many troops and strong people to attack Tianyang City. Mo Qingtian definitely wouldn't dare to come.

Chen Guan comfortably absorbed the resources within the Nine Demon City. As for the Nine Demon City itself, although the various buildings and defensive structures were severely damaged, the floating island was not greatly damaged. As long as it was removed from the mountain, it could still be used as an aerial castle.

Chen Guan has a lot of resources now, and there are many things he can't use, which can be used to rebuild the aerial city.

Naturally, it couldn't be called Nine Demon City anymore. Chen Guan renamed the island and the city, which hadn't yet begun reconstruction, "Purple Sun City." To everyone's delight, Purple Sun City actually had a teleportation array, and it was still usable, having escaped damage during the great battle.

Tianyang City was built purely by humans, and there was originally no teleportation array in the place where Tianyang City was built. Therefore, there is no teleportation array in Tianyang City to leave the secret realm.

Chen Guan entrusted the construction of Ziyang City and the task to Nan Zilan and Teng Mingli, while he himself returned to Shenzhou with the help of the teleportation array.

Before he even got home, Chen Guan heard rumors of the dark hour. He then learned that the dark phenomenon caused by the paper figures was not limited to Pengxuan Cave Heaven, but that all the secret realms were dark for a quarter of an hour, with only the Yellow Springs River emitting a fluorescent glow.

"Could it be... that the paper figure is the Netherworld Emperor himself..." Chen Guan wondered to himself.

However, upon further reflection, it seems unlikely. The Netherworld Emperor is the supreme ruler of the Netherworld, and the Yellow Springs River and the Netherworld Sea are both under his jurisdiction.

Even beings like the Ten Kings of Hell are only considered mid-level leaders in front of the Netherworld Emperor.

It can be said that the Netherworld Emperor is the true ruler of the underworld.

How could such a terrifying being have turned into a pet and fallen into Chen Guan's hands? That doesn't make sense.

"Even if it's not the Netherworld Emperor, the relationship between the paper figure and the Netherworld Emperor must be extraordinary. Maybe it's even the child born to the Netherworld Emperor?" Chen Guan thought to himself.

After finding a secluded spot and changing his form several times, Chen Guan finally returned home.

He has resources and power now, but he can't use the secret treasure.

It's more intimidating to come out than to stay in the secret realm.

As long as Chen Guan is alive, others will be afraid of his revenge and will not dare to touch Tianyang City and Ziyang City.

Staying in Tianyang City would be dangerous for him; his enemies would likely try every means to prove his strength. It would be better for him to stay home and cultivate properly.

During this time, Chen Guan kept an eye out for any news about the Reverse Yuan Technique in the market, but there was no news at all.

He kept eating all sorts of rare and precious herbs at home for more than half a month. He didn't know how many rare and precious herbs he had eaten, but his level seemed to be welded to the spot and didn't move at all. There was no sign of him leveling up.

"After the Fourth Awakening, the difficulty of advancing in the First Secret Technique is many times higher than before. Even advancing one level is incredibly difficult. This can't go on. Even if I can reach level 32, what will I do after that? The resource requirements will double again, which is more than I imagined. Can I even reach level 40?"

Chen Guan felt things weren't so optimistic. He originally thought these rare treasures would be enough for him to reach level 40, but now it seemed that even leveling up was uncertain, let alone advancing to level 40, which was simply a pipe dream.

"I need to get back a Reverse Yuan Technique as soon as possible and see if, as I think, the difficulty of leveling up will be lower after mastering it." Chen Guan only wants to find a way to level up now; everything else can be put aside for the time being.

The Reverse Yuan Technique originated from the Tianyuan Sea, which is located in a region of the Pengxuan Cave Heaven. However, it is not a place under human control, and can be described as a no-man's-land.

The Tianyuan Sea is teeming with humans, demons, and all sorts of terrifying mystical spirits, making it extremely dangerous.

Not only must we be wary of the mystical spirits, but also of humans and demons.

Without the secret treasure on his person, Chen Guan dared not venture into the chaotic Tianyuan Sea on his own, and could only wait for Wu Shen's vital energy to recover.

Chen Guan had been diligently consuming all sorts of rare and precious herbs throughout the three months, but he hadn't leveled up at all. Instead, the Evil Spirit Blood Sword had absorbed some of the energy from the Illusionary Spirit Stone and reached level 40, allowing it to awaken again.

"I need to figure out a way to awaken the Evil Spirit Blood Sword first." Chen Guan pondered how to make the Evil Spirit Blood Sword successfully awaken five times.
