Chapter 249: Heavenly Soul Art

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Of course, in the eyes of many, the mysterious disappearance of the Little Thunderclap Temple’s two cultivation methods was something the Dashang Empire had deliberately made up. Their true aim was to muddle the perceptions of others.

However, Shang Feng’s words today made people suspect Dashang might really not have obtained the Little Thunderclap Temple’s two cultivation methods. The information they had spread should be genuine! The two cultivation methods of the Little Thunderclap Temple had truly vanished without a trace!

“I heard Su Chen appeared at the ruins of the Little Thunderclap Temple when he left Dashang some time ago! If that’s the case, it seems Su Chen’s real motive in going to Dashang was the Little Thunderclap Temple!”

“I see!”

“That’s right! The last abbot of the Little Thunderclap Temple, Fahui, died by Su Chen’s hand! Su Chen must have gotten some information from Fahui.” “Hiss! I wondered why a mere high-grade Dao weapon would be worth Su Chen’s trouble. So he was after the Little Thunderclap Temple’s two cultivation methods!”

“The Elixir Dao True Explanation, the Purple Qi Creation Scripture, and the Little Thunderclap Temple’s two cultivation methods add up to a total of four saint-level cultivation methods. If all of them fell into Su Chen’s hands, with his foundation comparable to a holy land which has four saints!”

“These jade slips absolutely cannot end up in Su Chen’s grasp!”

The masses began speaking up. The lure of four saint-level cultivation methods was undeniably fatal. The gazes looking at Su Chen grew increasingly heated.

At this moment, even Su Chen’s recent achievement of slaying five Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses could not contain the restless crowd. After all, facing so many saint-level cultivation methods and divine powers, how many present could resist temptation?

If one could take away all these jade slips, as long as his aptitude was decent, it was certain he could reach the pinnacle of the path of holiness.

At the same time, a screen of light only Su Chen could see lit up before him.

[Comparable to a Holy Land: 1/20,000]

[Comparable to a Holy Land: 2/20,000]

[Comparable to a Holy Land: 3/20,000]

[…]

“They finally took the bait!” Seeing this, Su Chen smiled faintly. The characters on the virtual panel were rapidly increasing. Soon they broke through the 5,000 mark.

Su Chen only watched for a minute before choosing to close it, as the growth rate had already peaked. The number on the virtual panel halted at 15,000 and ceased increasing further.

“Looks like I need to use some other methods!” Su Chen looked at the masses, muttering softly. However…

At this moment, Shang Feng slowly spoke, “Su Chen, hand over all the cultivation methods in your grasp now. Perhaps you may still have a chance to live. Otherwise…”

A confident, victorious smile still lingered on his face. In his view, with Su Chen’s personality, he likely wouldn’t hand over the jade slips. By then, Su Chen would be surrounded and attacked by all sides. Even if he had heaven-reaching ability, he would have no chance to live!

“Haha…” However, in the next moment, Su Chen chuckled lightly. He indifferently glanced at Shang Feng, not paying him more attention. Instead, he turned his gaze upon the spectators, speaking gently, “Everyone, there is one thing I hope you can listen to carefully!”

“Humph! Let’s hear what else you can say!” Shang Feng snorted coldly. His eyes narrowed slightly, a frosty glint flashing deep within.

Not far away, the prodigy of the Spirit Race had the same expression. However, he was not focused on Su Chen, but Qin Hao beside him. He was waiting! Waiting for an opportunity! As long as the great battle started, he would kill Qin Hao in one stroke!

And the chance he awaited was about to come!

“I know everyone entered this small world for opportunities,” Su Chen said. “However, you should all understand clearly that there is only one opportunity here, yet the number of people present is massive. If we fight over these dozen-odd jade slips, casualties will definitely occur.”

Su Chen’s clothes fluttered like an emperor descending to the mortal world. He continued lightly laughing. “I truly cannot bear to see all of you meet your ends. Thus, I took all these cultivation methods for myself, and will give them to every fellow Daoist who needs them!”

After speaking, Su Chen grasped the jade slips.

“Hmm?” Hearing this, everyone frowned slightly, truly unable to comprehend Su Chen’s rationale.

“Fellow Daoist Su, are you being a bit too one-sided in your statement?” a white-haired elder spoke up. “How do you know what each of us requires? There are many gathered here, some close to you and some distant…”

He did not complete his last sentence, but its implication was clear. Although many present had not kicked Su Chen while he was down, neither had they extended a helping hand. Their relations with Su Chen could not be considered close.

On the contrary, powers like Dachu, the Flaming Fire Holy Land, the Heavenly Heart Sacred Sect, and others were extremely close to him. They had firmly stood behind Su Chen earlier. If Su Chen truly intended to give away the cultivation methods in his hand, he would naturally first consider his own people.

Aside from them, how much others obtained would depend entirely on Su Chen’s mood.

“Elder Fang’s question is apt. I do know what everyone desires,” Su Chen replied with a smile, glancing at the elder.

This man was from Rosy Clouds Holy Land, also an aged saint-level power. However, Rosy Clouds Holy Land had declined in recent years. Thus, whenever an opportunity emerged in the East Barrens, one could see their shadow.

It was said that when the Heavenly Puppet Sect appeared within Dachu’s borders, Rosy Clouds Holy Land had dispatched a Quasi-Saint Realm expert from thousands of miles away, hoping to get a share.

Unfortunately, the so-called Heavenly Puppet Sect had long been emptied out, leaving only an empty shell behind. In the end, even that Quasi-Saint Realm elder from the Rosy Clouds Holy Land returned empty-handed.

Now, with ruins of the ancient God Demon Sect revealed, given Rosy Clouds Holy Land’s nature, they would definitely send people to search for treasures, hoping to enrich their foundations.

Thinking thus, Su Chen slowly turned to face Elder Fang of Rosy Clouds Holy Land and spoke, “Elder Fang, if I’m not wrong, you’re in great need of this Heavenly Soul Art, right?”

Buzz…

As his voice fell, a white jade slip appeared in Su Chen’s hand, flickering with white light. This was a saint-level lower-rank divine power focused on cultivating divine soul power, similar in effect to the Heavenly Divergence Divine Art.

However, the difference was that while the Heavenly Divergence Divine Art targeted divine sense, the Heavenly Soul Art targeted the divine soul instead. Although their effects differed, both were equally rare.

The Rosy Clouds Holy Land also had similar divine powers, yet none suited Elder Fang. The moment the Heavenly Soul Art appeared in Su Chen’s grasp, Elder Fang became somewhat unsettled..
