Eternal life begins with saving my clan

The sudden visit of Su Yen to the prefecture lord changed the trajectory of Zizhu prefecture.

Even though the secret meeting was not known to the general public, the following order from the Prefecture Lord was another story entirely; it threw Zizhu prefecture into an uproar.

All the powerful clans and city lords were expecting a full frontal war with the hidden expert that attacked the ten cities. However, instead of that, the prefecture released an order that every city must open their doors to the Celestial Heavenly store to create their store for free.

At first, no one believed such an absurd rumor. But when tens of powerful envoys were deployed to all the cities, they realized the Prefecture Lord was not taking it lightly.

The widespread jaw-dropping news caught everyone by surprise. Many wondered why the prefecture lord would support the hidden expert that killed his subjects.

However, no matter how they pried out the secret, they couldn't find it.

Su Yen didn't dilly-dally and deployed all his people to work. All the influential clans in Baiyun city were full of smiles when they realized it was time for them to rake in massive profits.

Their neighboring city, Lingtian city, was the first city that felt the burn of the enthusiasm of the clans.

In three days, more than 20 Celestial Heavenly stores sprouted from every corner of the city. On the fourth day, the stores were fully opened to the public.

Their rapid construction stunned the people of the city. It was then they realized that it was not only the Celestial Heavenly store that was in action; all the influential clans in the city were supporting them.

Apart from that, Su Yen sent Cao Meng to every city to choose new city lords for the ten cities. Even though he had the power to rule the cities, Su Yen wasn't interested in power. He was only focused on getting stronger.

For the next month, Zizhu prefecture was in a state of shock and wonder. The newly introduced magical rings took them by storm.

The Spirit Comms were spreading like wildfire. With the prefecture lord backing the Celestial Heavenly store, there wasn't any city lord that had the power to stop them.

However, there were two organizations that were not pleased with this rapid change. Though they were enemies of the Celestial Heavenly store, when they used the Spirit Comms, they couldn't help but accept the novelty of the strange artifact.

Though they agreed to the novelty of the Spirit Comms, they wouldn't accept defeat without fighting back.

As the Celestial Heavenly store was spreading quickly throughout the Zizhu prefecture, they were also preparing for a deadly attack.

With a month of continuous expansion, the Celestial Heavenly store could now be found in every city in the Zizhu prefecture.

However, that was not the main talk of the people. Many people had gotten used to the sudden rise of the strange power. Since they couldn't eradicate them and they meant no harm to them, besides, their artifact saved them both time and resources. It quickly gained the recognition of the people.

But today, things were different.

The Prefecture Lord had released news, asking all the clans in the prefecture to send their younger generation to Baiyun city.

Many people asked why they would send their younger generation to such a backward place.

The Prefecture Lord didn't bother to respond to them since he didn't even know why.

In Baiyun region, an old man dressed in an ordinary black cloth walked ahead of a young man with a respectful expression.

Walking along the path from Xuefeng town toward the Purple Misty Mountain Range, the old man and the young man met a long line of carriages along the way.

However, all the caravans seemed not to see them. They passed by as if the two people were air.

The strange thing about these two was each of their steps covered thousands of meters at a time.

In a couple of minutes, the old man and the young man had left the road to the Purple Mist Mountain range and arrived at the entrance of the mountain range.

"Are you sure there is a secret realm here?" Su Yen asked casually.

"Yes, my lord," the old beggar responded with a fawning smile.

Since he met this strange young man in white, he had decided to cling onto him for a chance to breakthrough his bottleneck and have a chance to increase his lifespan.

With the confirmation from the old beggar, Su Yen motioned him to continue leading the way into the Purple Mist Mountain Range.

As they ventured further into the heart of the Purple Mist Mountain Range, the terrain became more rugged, and the mist thickened, cloaking the surroundings in an almost palpable mystique.

The old beggar skillfully navigated the narrow paths and hidden trails known only to those who had spent a lifetime within these mystical mountains.

The air resonated with the distant echoes of unseen creatures, and the mountain took on a surreal quality, bathed in the soft hues of the mist.

Su Yen, with a glint of curiosity in his eyes, followed the beggar's every step.

As they ascended higher, the temperature dropped, and the whispers of the wind transformed into haunting melodies.

Suddenly, the old man stopped in his tracks and looked at Su Yen.

"My Lord," he pointed at the highest peak shrouded in a thick purple mist.

"That's where I sense the mysterious energy," he added.

Su Yen didn't bother to respond to the old beggar and fixed his gaze at the highest peak.

Since the old man could sense the mysterious energy, it couldn't evade his sense.

Besides, before the old man pointed at the highest peak, Su Yen had already detected the strangeness of the peak.

Every time his spirit sense touched the highest peak, it bounced off as if repelled by a powerful entity. Read exclusive chapters at m|v-l'e,m p y r

"Move back!" He commanded.

The old beggar didn't dilly-dally and rushed down with his top speed.

He knew whatever Su Yen was going to do, his puny self couldn't see it.

After the old man had left the mountain range, Su Yen walked slowly toward the mountain peak.

When he was hundreds of meters from the thick purple mist, a powerful force came upon his body.

But to him, it was nothing. He shrugged it off and continued to move forward.

Each step he took, the force on his body rose to another level. It was as if a mysterious power was trying to stop him from moving forward.

Unfortunately, Su Yen's might was way above what they could stop.

He arrived at the peak of the mountain covered in thick mist, but that was not what held his attention.

It was the pulsating energy that escaped from a thin crack in the void.

The crack was minuscule and wouldn't be noticed from the outside. With the purple mist bouncing off spirit sense, there was no way people would discover the crack.

Looking at the crack, Su Yen twisted his lip and focused his gaze on the surroundings, trying to find a way to decipher how to break into the void.

After searching for clues for ten whole minutes that could help him to open the secret realm, Su Yen got impatient.

He wanted to use his system to unravel the secret of the secret but decided against it.

His plan was not to be dependent on the system and depend on his strength to grow stronger.

Unless necessary, he won't use the system.

Thus, he used the most direct approach: Break the void.

In the presence of absolute strength, every secret would be revealed.

Bang!

He hit the void with his fist attack, but the void didn't even shake.

Su Yen wasn't flustered, but it was the other way round. The power guarding the secret piqued his interest, and he increased his power.

"Stone Fist"

Boom!

Nothing happened, and he increased his strength to the Intermediate Core Refining realm.

Boom!

The void shook slightly, and that was all.

Su Yen grinned and increased his power to the peak of the Core Refining realm.

Since he broke through to the peak of the Core Refining realm, this would be the first time he would use his full power.

Boom!

A deafening sound resounded throughout the Purple Mist Mountain Range. It was like the roar of the heavenly tribulation.

The shockwaves from the attack destroyed the nearby mountain, turning them into rubble.

Outside the mountain range, the old beggar retreated quickly with wide eyes.

He stopped a thousand meters from the mountain and sighed in relief. If he had stayed behind to see how Su Yen wanted to open the secret realm, that shockwave would turn him into a pool of blood.

At the peak of the mountain range, the thin crack only spread a little before stopping.

As for Su Yen, he stood stunned for a couple of seconds before a light chuckle escaped his mouth.

"Since you can withstand my punch, let's see how you fare against my sword."

With that, his sword appeared in his hand, and terrifying chaotic sword intent wrapped around his body.

Without him attacking the void, the thin crack began to spread like a web crack.

However, that won't stop Su Yen from attacking.

"Chaotic Sword Strike - First Form."

Boom!

A horrifying sword intent spread throughout the mountain range, cleaving everything in its path into two.

As for the crack in the void, it shattered into pieces under the terrifying sword attack.

With the secret realm seal broken, a strong whirlpool appeared before him, gushing out a pure spiritual energy that washed over him.

With the appearance of the whirlpool, a voice transmission appeared in his ear.

When Su Yen listened to the voice transmission, his expression changed for a bit before returning to normal.
