Chapter 947 - 299: The Second Purple Mansion_6

Seeing this scene, Shen Chongming couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

These must all be direct disciples of the major factions of the Upper Sect, probably here for the purpose of training.

"When will the sons of the Shen Family also be able to..."

The Shen Family has been on the rise for two hundred years, but their days of glory have been few.

Most of the time, the cultivators under their rule walk outside as if on thin ice, rarely appearing before outsiders with such confidence.

Now, with the impending collapse of the Dao, if the Shen Family can safely pass through this calamity, their future lies in integrating into the Cultivation Realm of the Cangmin Sea Region.

He ardently hopes that one day the reputation of the Shen Family will resonate throughout the Cangmin Sea Region like the strong forces such as the Ice God Palace, and that the cultivators under their rule can walk with heads held high like these disciples from great factions.

Suppressing his thoughts, he slowly walked toward the cliff leading to the Seven Sages Mountain Secret Realm.

As he did so, the Golden Core Purple Mansion cultivators from the surrounding great factions all looked on with peculiar expressions.

"Where did this young fool come from?"

"Does he not know there are restrictions in this Secret Realm?"

"Be quiet; this person is actually Purple Mansion!"

"Tch! So what if he’s Purple Mansion; my Cang Sky Mountain has a handful of Purple Mansion cultivators, and such an old Purple Mansion wouldn’t even count as a direct disciple in Cang Sky Mountain..."

"Brother disciples, prepare yourselves. Once this fool gets injured by the restriction and falls off the cliff, we’ll immediately strike him down and seize his Storage Bag—an unexpected gain, indeed."

"Haha! Truly, the Wu Hua Small World is just a bunch of country bumpkins who have never seen the world. This man looks like a poor wretch with nothing of value. You’re actually thinking of profiting from him?"

Among the dozens of cultivators near the cliff, a young man from Cang Sky Mountain seemed quite arrogant.

The few cultivators from the Wu Hua Small World whom he mocked seemed very wary of his identity, not even daring to glare at him angrily, pretending they hadn’t heard anything.

As for Shen Chongming near the cliff, he curiously glanced at the young man from Cang Sky Mountain and secretly memorized the name "Cang Sky Mountain."

Their reactions showed that this so-called Cang Sky Mountain should have considerable strength among the Seventy-Two Cangmin Realms.

He would have to be cautious when encountering them in the future.

Ignoring the discussions behind him, Shen Chongming approached the front of the cliff and slowly extended his palm, infusing the cloud mist before him with an aura of Chaos Thunder.

Just as the others were ready to see him make a fool of himself, the mist in front of Shen Chongming suddenly churned.

The next moment, a bridge made of thunder appeared within the mist.

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Shen Chongming slowly stepped forward, disappearing into the mist on the thunder bridge.

"He... opened the Secret Realm!?"

"Quickly! The thunder bridge hasn’t vanished yet; we can follow him inside!"

"Get out of the way!"

"Who dares block Cang Sky Mountain’s path!?"

Watching as Shen Chongming’s figure disappeared into the mist and the thunder bridge still remained, the outside cultivators realized what was happening and dashed forward, intending to enter the Seven Sages Mountain Secret Realm with him.

The young man from Cang Sky Mountain was particularly domineering; the slightly ethereal Golden Core qi on his body surged, and he rushed ahead of a group of Purple Mansion cultivators, wanting to be the first to step onto the thunder bridge.

However, as soon as his foot touched the thunder bridge, a terrifying Thunder Power erupted, transforming into a fully electric hand aimed directly at his body!

The sudden change left the young man pale with fear!

"Father!"

"Father, save me!"

Feeling his body immobilized by the lightning hand, he shouted desperately while raising a Magical Treasure Jade Pendant hanging from his chest!

The next moment, the jade pendant suddenly lit up with golden light!

In the golden light, a massive golden fist emerged, striking directly at the descending thunder hand!

Boom!

The thunder hand was shattered by the fierce punch, dispersing into countless electric sparks before slowly disappearing.

Seeing this, the young man hurriedly scrambled up from the ground, glaring viciously at the mist-covered cliff.

"What a lousy Secret Realm. When my father comes, he’ll definitely destroy this broken Secret Realm!"

Inside the Seven Sages Mountain Secret Realm.

Standing beside the Thunderous Creature, Shen Chongming watched the scene from within the void, unable to help but shake his head.

"That boy’s father should be very powerful."

"The strike sealed within a Magical Treasure was able to easily block your attack."

The Thunderous Creature sneered at his words: "Indeed powerful, at least Transcendent."

"Still, being trapped here for countless years, my own strength hasn’t increased and has even been drained a lot by this Secret Realm."

"Once you take me out, after I cultivate for a hundred years or so, such riff-raff could be killed by a sneeze from me..."

Shen Chongming looked at it with a peculiar expression.

"Enough bragging, how can I take you out?"

Since coming in, he could feel that the Thunderous Creature’s strength was actually only at the Purple Mansion Realm.

But it could control Chaos Thunder, making its power very strong, likely amongst the stronger beings in the Purple Mansion Realm.

"Yes, yes, leaving here is the priority!"

"Kid, I’ll take you to find my true body."

With that, the Thunderous Creature transformed into lightning and flew toward the distance within the Secret Realm.

Seeing this, Shen Chongming immediately followed its figure and arrived before the stone engraving where he had once studied the "Shenxiao Jade Mansion Five Thunder True Technique Secret Record."

"Here, this is my true body."

"Refine it and bring it into your Purple Mansion Dao Palace, then I can leave with you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chongming frowned.

"This stone engraving is your true body?"

The Thunderous Creature nodded: "Of course!"

"I am born from Chaos!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Chongming couldn’t help but shake his head.

"Those born from Chaos are Innate deities with power so great that Celestial and Immortal Gods must look up to them. If you were indeed born from Chaos, how could you be in such a miserable state?"

The Thunderous Creature was momentarily at a loss for words.

"I’m not lying to you!?"

"If I wasn’t born from Chaos, how could I possess the ability to control Chaos Thunder?"

Shen Chongming was too lazy to argue further and walked to the stone engraving, discovering that the entire stone engraving had completely merged into the stone wall.

The last two times he came here, he always thought the engraving was part of the stone wall.

Now, on closer inspection, he noticed that although they had merged, the engraving’s material and aura were quite different from the stone wall.

But this stone engraving was over a zhang (about 3.3 meters) long and seven chi (about 2.3 meters) wide.

How could he refine such a massive stone engraving to bring it into the Purple Mansion Dao Palace?

After pondering for a moment, he turned to look at the Thunderous Creature.

Seeing his inquiring face, the Thunderous Creature quickly shook its head, saying, "Don’t look at me like that; I don’t know how to refine it."

"At any rate... this stone engraving can definitely be refined."

"Just treat it like a Magical Artifact when refining it."

"Alright, I’ll go back and wait. Once you successfully refine it, call me out when you leave."

Having said this, the Thunderous Creature dove into the stone engraving before him, leaving Shen Chongming with a bewildered expression.

He realized the Thunderous Creature was somewhat unreliable, but he hadn’t expected it to be this unreliable.

"Well..."

Sighing inwardly, Shen Chongming sat cross-legged before the stone carving, preparing to attempt refining it as a Magical Artifact, as the Thunderous Creature had suggested.

If that fails, he would think of other methods.
