Xiao Chen looked at Wen Yizheng and said sincerely, "However, there is another favor I need the sect leader's help with."
"Help?" Wen Yizheng raised an eyebrow. "Go ahead."
"I want to enter the Immortal Mountain Secret Realm again to cultivate for the next two months."
Xiao Chen said in a deep voice. The secret realm is rich in spiritual energy, and he can further refine the Immortal Mountain Seal Divine Power that he has already comprehended, making it the best choice to improve his strength in a short period of time.
Upon hearing this, Wen Yizheng frowned, looking troubled: "This might be a bit difficult."
“Our sect no longer has the key to enter the Immortal Mountain Secret Realm. Last time you, Ruizhang, and Lingxue entered, you used up the sect’s last three keys.”
"If we want to advance further, we can only exchange a large amount of resources with other forces, which comes at a great cost."
"Sect Leader Wen," Shi Tou stepped forward quickly, his tone firm, "consuming some resources now is nothing!"
"After Xiao Chen deals with Mo Shuo in two months, and then completely wipes out the Mo Ze Sect, what resources won't he have then?"
Destroy the Moze Sect?
Wen Yizheng shook his head and gave a wry smile: "Mo Zezong's strength is far superior to ours now. If we really go to war, our chances of winning are almost zero."
Besides Mo Cang, who is at the peak of the cultivation realm, Mo Zezong also has several elders at the beginningless and void realms. They have a profound foundation and are not easily shaken.
"What if I were included?"
A steady voice rang out, and Xiong An, standing beside the stone, slowly stepped forward.
Before the words were even finished, an incomparably powerful aura suddenly erupted, sweeping out like a tsunami.
Reach the pinnacle!
Wen Yizheng's pupils shrank sharply, his face filled with shock. He subconsciously released his aura to sense the presence of the aura, and after confirming that it was correct, a storm of emotions surged within him!
It's actually the Peak Realm!
In the entire Moze Starfield, there are only two known peak-level experts: him and Mo Cang. So where did this Xiong An come from?
He glanced at Xiao Chen, then at Xiong An, who was completely obedient to the stone, and instantly understood.
Stone's identity must be extraordinary. For a peak-level expert to be willing to act as his guard, his background must be unfathomable!
"Your Excellency... are you willing to lend a helping hand?" Wen Yizheng's voice trembled slightly.
If two peak-level cultivators join forces, along with geniuses like Xiao Chen and Ling Xue, it wouldn't be impossible for them to not only deal with the Mo Ze Sect's all-out war, but also sweep through the Mo Ze Star Region!
Xiong An nodded, his tone respectful yet carrying an undeniable authority: "The Demon God's affairs are the affairs of my Xiong Demon Clan. If Mo Zezong dares to start a war, I will certainly do my utmost."
"Good! Good! Good!" Wen Yizheng exclaimed three times, his face beaming with joy. "With your assistance, what do we, the Four Directions Sect, have to fear from the Moze Sect!"
He immediately made a decision: "Xiao Chen, don't worry! I will use the sect's reserves to exchange for the key to the Immortal Mountain Secret Realm from other forces, so that you can cultivate in peace!"
In the following days, Wen Yizheng personally stepped forward and used the precious resources accumulated by the Four Directions Sect over the years to exchange for two keys to the Immortal Mountain Secret Realm from a friendly, long-established power.
At the entrance to the secret realm, Wen Yizheng solemnly handed the key to Xiao Chen, saying, "For the next two months, you must focus on your cultivation and don't worry about the sect's affairs."
"With me and His Excellency Xiong'an here, Mo Zezong dares not act rashly."
"Thank you, Sect Master." Xiao Chen accepted the key and bowed respectfully.
Stone walked up to him and grinned, "Senior Brother, I'll go in with you!"
"I'll help you protect the Dharma, and while I'm at it, I'll also look for traces of the remnant soul of the demon god."
Xiao Chen nodded: "Okay."
Wen Yizheng activated the entrance to the secret realm. The ancient stone gate slowly opened, emitting a strong spatial fluctuation.
“Go, two months from now, at Xianke Mountain, I’ll be waiting for your triumphant return,” Wen Yizheng said.
Xiao Chen and Shi Tou exchanged a glance, then stepped into the stone gate side by side, their figures disappearing instantly.
The stone gate slowly closed, and Wen Yizheng stared at it, his eyes filled with anticipation and determination.
...
The news that the Four Directions Sect and the Moze Sect had agreed to a life-or-death battle two months later.
Like a thunderclap, it swept across the entire Moze Starfield, instantly becoming the focus of heated discussion among all cultivators.
"My God! Xiao Chen actually accepted Mo Shuo's life-or-death battle? Has he gone mad?"
"Mo Shuo has already reached the eighth level of Nirvana, while Xiao Chen has only just broken through to the third level of Nirvana. They are five minor realms apart!"
"This is practically suicide!"
"Even if he has extraordinary talent, it's impossible for him to make up for such a big gap in just two months, right?"
"It's hard to say! Xiao Chen once killed a demonic saint at the peak of Nirvana Realm, so maybe there will be a miracle this time?"
"Sigh, no matter what, the battle at Xianke Mountain two months from now is bound to be fierce!"
Discussions arose one after another, with most people not optimistic about Xiao Chen. After all, the difference in their cultivation levels was too great. In the cultivation world, cultivation level often meant absolute crushing power.
...
Inside the Mo Zezong, Mo Shuo was lying on a luxurious bed that was a full ten meters wide.
She was surrounded by a dozen or so graceful young women dressed in sheer gauze.
They were carefully massaging his back and serving him tea, their manner extremely respectful.
Hearing the discussions outside, Mo Shuo burst into laughter, his tone full of disdain and arrogance: "Two months? Heh, Xiao Chen is really naive!"
"Did you think that living two more months would allow you to defy fate?"
He reached out and hugged a young girl beside him, his eyes sinister: "Then I'll give you two more months to live, so you can enjoy your last moments."
"After the battle at Immortal Mountain, I will tear you to pieces and avenge my humiliation!"
The girls dared not say much, and could only smile politely, but in their hearts they were secretly wary of the young master's cruelty.
...
Meanwhile, deep within the secret realm of the immortal mountain.
As soon as Xiao Chen entered, he went straight to the place where spiritual energy gathered where he had cultivated before, sat cross-legged, and instantly entered a state of cultivation.
His body crackled with lightning as he frantically absorbed the rich spiritual energy within the secret realm. Simultaneously, he circulated his cultivation technique, refining the foundation of his Nirvana Realm three stages and deducing the application of the Immortal Mountain Seal.
These two months are his final sprint, and he must give it his all!
Ever since Stone entered the secret realm, a mysterious guidance had been lingering in his mind, as if something was calling to him.
Following the directions, he ventured deep into the heart of the secret realm, passing through dense ancient forests and traversing treacherous mountains, finally arriving at a secluded valley.
In the center of the valley, a majestic figure stood silently, making the stones hold their breath.
That was a demonic bear that could reach the heavens and the earth!
Its body is as majestic as a mountain, and its limbs are as thick as pillars supporting the sky, firmly rooted in the ground, as if they can support the entire world.
Its entire body is covered in dark golden scales, which, despite being eroded by tens of thousands of years, still gleam with a cold metallic luster. Between the scales...
The dried, dark red bloodstains still remain, telling the story of the tragedy that happened back then.
The demonic bear had an enormous head, high brow bones, deep-set eyes, and a pair of dull, lifeless eyes.
Yet it still exudes a fierce and unyielding air of looking down on the world, as if even in its fall, it would not lower its proud head.
Its forepaws were slightly raised, their sharp tips gleaming like divine weapons, and its mouth was slightly open.
It seems to still be emitting a silent roar, wanting to contend with the heavens!
