Chapter 715 - 187: The Five Cauldrons’ Breaking Limit Opens the Secret Realm, Xuanyuan’s Undercurrents and Hidden Murderous Intent

Chapter 715: Chapter 187: The Five Cauldrons’ Breaking Limit Opens the Secret Realm, Xuanyuan’s Undercurrents and Hidden Murderous Intent

Just now, Mo Yunzi and the Demon Puppet had joined forces to break the seal, unleashing a power comparable to the desperate, combined strike of five Acupoint Realm masters.

Such power seemed astonishing, but compared to an expert of the Bright Heart Realm who could command the Power of Heaven and Earth, the difference was still night and day.

A brief comparison was all it took for Chu Fan to gauge the move’s true strength.

’When facing a strong Bright Heart Realm enemy in the future, this technique can only be used to hold them back. I’ll have to seal them briefly, then immediately throw them into the cauldron. I’ll kill them with lightning speed, giving them no chance to gather power and break the array.’

Just then—

A cold, proud voice echoed without warning from the depths of his mind. "Chu Fan, it’s time to set out. Come to the Demon Suppression Bureau at once."

It was the voice of Leng Qingqiu, filled with unquestionable authority.

Chu Fan’s expression turned grim, the relaxed mood from practicing his Magic Technique instantly vanishing.

He gathered his thoughts, glanced at the others, and announced in a deep voice, "Lord Leng has summoned me. I’m going to the Profound Origin Secret Realm."

Hearing this, everyone’s expression turned solemn.

The Profound Origin Secret Realm was treacherous and unpredictable; there was no telling when he would return.

They all nodded. Though worried, no one tried to stop him.

Li Qingxue, dressed in white, took half a step forward. Her lips parted as if she had a thousand things to say, but they all condensed into a single phrase. "Be careful... I... We’ll be waiting for you."

Chu Fan nodded, accepting the Black Abyss Sword from Mo Yunzi and slinging it across his back.

The black sword was simple and archaic. Though still sheathed, it radiated a heavy, murderous aura.

The others in the courtyard all knew the sword had long since become a tool for Chu Fan to lull his enemies into a false sense of security.

A Chu Fan who didn’t use his sword was the most terrifying one of all.

"I’m off."

With that, Chu Fan turned away.

He tapped his toes lightly, but instead of leaping as one normally would, his body simply floated into the air!

Currents of air swirled beneath his feet, lifting him. Like a falling leaf or a soaring bird, he shot through the air without any visible support, heading toward the Demon Suppression Bureau and shrinking to a black dot in an instant.

"Holy crap!"

Zhao Tianxing’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He pointed at the sky, stammering, "Old Chu... How is Old Chu flying? How can he fly?!"

It completely shattered his understanding of the world!

In the Cultivation Realm, only those in the fifth realm, the Ruyi Realm, who had comprehended the rules of heaven and earth to achieve a state of "as I will," could briefly fly.

Even someone at the peak of the Bright Heart Realm could only fly by riding on an object.

’And what Realm is Old Chu in?’

Beside him, Cyan Snake, Mo Yunzi, and the others also stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

"It’s the ’Nine Heavens Wind Mastery Scripture’..."

Li Qingxue gazed in the direction Chu Fan had disappeared, a colorful light swirling in her beautiful eyes. "He isn’t using Primordial Qi to lift his body," she explained softly. "He’s merging with the wind... He’s commanding the wind itself to carry him in flight!"

Hearing this, Cyan Snake rubbed her smooth chin, a fervent glint in her eyes. "’The Nine Heavens Wind Mastery Scripture’ is that incredible? Even peak Bright Heart Realm experts can’t fly, yet he managed it at the mere Third Heaven of the Divine Power Realm?"

She licked her lips and murmured, "Looks like... I’ll have to get serious about cultivating this Martial Art, too."

Mo Yunzi and Zhao Tianxing nodded in agreement. "Me too!"

...

WHOOSH—

The wind howled past his ears, yet it wasn’t harsh. Instead, it felt like a tamed pet, flowing cheerfully alongside him.

Below the clouds, the outline of the Seven Stars Gang’s headquarters was already faintly visible.

Chu Fan’s figure moved like a wisp of untethered smoke, weaving through the high-altitude air currents.

As he neared the Demon Suppression Bureau, a thought flickered through his mind. The Wind Power swirling around him silently dissipated, and his body drifted down like a falling leaf, descending noiselessly from the clouds into a secluded alleyway.

His toes touched the ground lightly, the hem of his robes swaying gently in the breeze, not raising so much as a speck of dust.

[Skill: Nine Heavens Wind Mastery Scripture (Great Success) Progress: (903/5000) (Trait: None)]

His hard cultivation over the past few days had not been in vain.

This True Scripture was originally an incomplete, esoteric text. Even if ordinary Cultivators obtained it, they would find it difficult to even reach the Entry-Level.

While using his supreme talent to deduce and complete the scripture, he also cultivated day and night. Although his progress wasn’t as rapid as with his other Martial Arts, he had still gained nine hundred and three Experience Points in just a few short days of hard work.

Unfortunately, limited by the Primordial Qi level of the Third Heaven of the Divine Power Realm, this Secret Skill couldn’t yet be considered a true trump card for offense or defense.

But even with just nine hundred and three Experience Points invested, the incredible speed and agility granted by the "Nine Heavens Wind Mastery Scripture," when combined with the various Traits of his "Running Technique," was enough to bridge the speed gap between him and a peak Bright Heart Realm expert!

By combining this technique with the Traits of his Running Technique, he could become one with the flowing wind and ride its currents, dramatically increasing his mobility!

This gave him a greater sense of confidence and composure for facing the perilous Profound Origin Secret Realm.

With that thought, Chu Fan delayed no longer. His footwork shifted, his body blurring into a residual image as he weaved through the labyrinthine alleys of Qing Province City.

A moment later, the solemn and majestic assembly hall of the Demon Suppression Bureau was just ahead.

Inside the great hall, the atmosphere was grim.

Demon Suppression Envoy Leng Qingqiu stood there, her plain clothes whiter than snow, her aura as cold and aloof as the Guanghan Fairy.

Demon Suppression Captain Xiao Ziye was clad in Black Armor, exuding an awe-inspiring, heroic air.

Behind them, a host of Demon Suppression Captains and Demon Suppression Guards were arrayed on either side.

Their armor glinted coldly in the candlelight. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

The moment Chu Fan stepped into the hall, dozens of gazes instantly converged on him.

They were filled with scrutiny, curiosity, and awe.

Demon Suppression Captain Nangong Yue stepped forward and gently straightened Chu Fan’s clothes, admonishing him like an older sister. "Once you’re in the Secret Realm, don’t try to be a hero. If you’re outmatched, your first priority is to find a way to escape, understand?"

The assembled Demon Suppression Captains and Guards all looked at Nangong Yue, speechless.

’Who says something like that?’

’She’s damaging our morale before he’s even entered the Secret Realm.’

’Besides, unless the other nineteen participants ganged up on him, how could there be anyone he couldn’t defeat?’

"Let’s go."

Leng Qingqiu spoke concisely and rose slowly to her feet.

She gave a light wave of her slender hand. The space before her suddenly warped as intricate, silvery array patterns were sketched out of thin air, instantly forming a Space Transmission Array that shimmered with a ghostly light.
