"It has been two years since I last visited my son, I heard that the sect will hold a competition, anyone is free to participate as long as they are over ten years old."

"That’s right, Patriarch, I have already confirmed the news, it will be held in two months!"

"Hmm, send some gifts to my son’s master, tell him, if my son can win or at least become the runner-up, then there will be additional rewards!"

"Very well, Patriarch, I will prepare the gifts first, excuse me!" Chen Zhi bowed slightly in respect.

Han Rui only waved his hand, and Chen Zhi walked away.

A young man was walking barefoot in the forest, trying to go deeper into the island and find a way to get out of it.

"This island is quite vast, perhaps there are resources to strengthen my body or cultivation," Chen Nian murmured to himself, since for two years he had not encountered a single human being.

His footsteps kept moving forward, if there was any fruit he could eat, he would pick it.

Perhaps it had been several days that he walked without rest, all while absorbing the natural energy needed by the soul flame his master had given him, a flame condensed from the strength and memories of its former owner.

Chen Nian was convinced that his master was not in the same world as him now, because there were many techniques he only came to know here, and he could confidently say that those techniques were of high level or even divine level.

Moreover, with those memories, he could also perfect the techniques he had previously learned to become sharper and more powerful in their destructive force.

****

Swush!

He leapt high onto a large-branched tree and stopped there.

He could see several people walking.

"Hmm, where are they going? Could it be that there is something valuable on this island? That must be the only possibility, otherwise, why would people come here?"

Swush!

From one tree to another, Chen Nian kept leaping, following their movements. Naturally, he was curious about what had brought them here.

Siss!

A terrifying hiss was heard. A snake of considerable size appeared.

"That is a level two beast," one person said with slight panic when he saw the massive black snake suddenly appear.

"Calm down! That’s only a level two beast equivalent to the Fighter Realm, why are you afraid!? You’re already in the Energy Core Realm, surely you can defeat that snake easily!?"

"That’s just its child, I’m certain the mother is nearby!" The man still wore a frightened expression.

"Tch, let me kill it, even if the mother is here, we still have elders who can fight it!" As soon as he finished speaking, the man leapt and struck the snake with his ability, easily beheading it.

Chen Nian merely watched from atop the tree, since the fight wasn’t anything significant, but he then noticed a massive snake of unbelievable size opening its eyes, perhaps sensing that its child had died.

The snake moved quickly, its two-ton body shaking the ground it stepped on.

"What did I say? The mother has come! These tremors are the sign!"

"Why are you so cowardly, stop being a cultivator, you’d be better off working as a laborer in the market or as a night worker!" Hong Lao scolded the man beside him.

The giant snake stared at them with its crimson eyes. Its aura radiated nothing but rage.

"Young Master, step back!" shouted Hong Jandi, who was the leader of that expedition and responsible for the training of the Hong Clan’s disciples, accompanied by two other elders, both in the mid-stage of the Earth Realm.

[It must be understood, even though the distance between realms seems small, the gap in power is enormous. To advance by just one stage often requires six months of cultivation, provided there are enough resources. Without them, it could take a full year to advance a single stage. However, there are also prodigies who progress quickly, depending on their talent and fortune. Everyone has different luck in cultivation.]

Hong Lao immediately retreated, unwilling to disobey Hong Jandi’s orders. Even though he was a young master of the clan, he would not risk his life just because of his pride.

But his movement was too slow in the eyes of the giant snake. Now the snake opened its massive jaws, seemingly ready to swallow Hong Lao whole.

"How dare you attack our young master!" Hong Jandi and one of the elders struck simultaneously.

"Wave Breaking the Reefs!" Hong Jandi swung his sword with tremendous force, not holding back, pouring everything into that strike. The elder beside him did the same, releasing a deadly destructive technique.

Boom!

A great explosion erupted in the air as the attacks landed on the snake. But when the dust settled and the smoke cleared, the snake was still standing, unscathed.

"Its skin is incredibly tough, a level four beast truly is different, this kind is difficult indeed, it has extraordinary skin thickness," said Hong Jandi.

Now both of them were struck back as the snake’s head smashed into the ground, its long fangs thrusting forward, trying to hook one of their bodies.

Both stomped their feet on the ground, leaping away.

"I will help!" Elder Hong Ba rushed in, standing between the two.

"Let’s combine our attacks!" said Hong Jandi, "I’m sure we can defeat it if we join forces!"

"I’m ready!" Hong Ba immediately took his stance.

"Me too!"

"Wave Breaking the Reefs!" muttered Hong Jandi.

"Snow Dragon!" muttered Hong Ba.

"Shadow Sword!" muttered Hong Gui.

"Release!"

The three of them unleashed their techniques at once, just as the snake’s head was only ten meters away.

A violent explosion resounded, strong winds blasting as a result, throwing the three backwards. But now the snake’s face was torn. It roared furiously. Its anger surged further. Sparks of fire flickered from its mouth, then it spewed flames that grew into a massive beam, fast and deadly like a laser.

"Scatter!" shouted Hong Jandi. He was the strongest among the elders present, at mid-stage Earth Realm, but even he was being battered by this level four beast. Even with the aid of two others, they were struggling.

"Grab its tail!" Hong Ba shouted to Hong Gui.

Hong Gui quickly dashed to the snake’s massive tail and pulled, but instead his body was sent flying by its powerful lash.

    Chen Sugan’s face had turned pale. He no longer had the will to continue fighting, as he could not hear anything anymore. Only the piercing pain kept disturbing him without end.At this moment, he saw Chen Nian chasing him with relentless slashes, one after another without pause. He was confused—how could this person have such incredible stamina, not even panting from exhaustion?But this was not the time to think about that, because his life could be in danger at any moment. Especially that teleportation technique—it was troublesome.If only he knew the route Chen Nian would take, it would be easier. Unfortunately, he could not trap him at all.Chen Sugan could only keep retreating while thinking of a way to defeat an opponent who was actually below him in terms of cultivation.“How did I end up cornered like this?” he muttered inwardly. Then he stopped hesitating and began to counterattack.General Shobi, watching Chen Nian’s abilities, felt admiration for his talent. He was amazed

    The anger of the old General shook the very air—he had never been humiliated like this before, especially by a mere Clan. Indeed, the Chen Clan had the advantage of cooperation with the Empire, but he, as a Defense General, was treated in such a manner. He parried the incoming attacks with his sword. These people had either forgotten—or never truly understood—what it meant to become a General. Strength, composure, and anger would all become driving forces.Clang!Clang!Clang!Three slashes aimed at his head, waist, and legs were successfully blocked by General Shobi. But not all of the attacks could be completely avoided.Today, he was not wearing his battle armor, as he had assumed there would be no fight involving himself—at most, he would only be protecting others. Yet he never expected that his presence would be meaningless.Slash!“Agh!”In the end, General Shobi was struck. His arm was injured. Although it wasn’t deep, it still ignited a profound sense of hatred.A terrible fee

    General Shobi pondered, “Although this young man appears impulsive, he is actually very brave to challenge death just to save someone who was kidnapped. I don’t care what he has done in the Chen Clan. But the Chen Clan dared to kidnap someone in broad daylight. If the emperor finds out about this, it could turn something insignificant into a major problem. Think about it—this is for the good of your Chen Clan!”Chen Sugan seemed to think, and after considering it, he felt that what the old General Shobi said made sense. If he acted impulsively and attacked the young man, the consequences would also be severe even if the Chen Clan had an explanation. Because fundamentally, everything started from Chen Mo kidnapping someone. Even though he did not believe that Han Nian was a young physician, he still could not act rashly in making decisions.Chen Nian looked at General Shobi. He did not know why this person had come. However, he could understand that it was likely one of the two sibling

    “Fools trying to take advantage when the Chen Clan is at its weakest. They think they can disturb this residence with such arrogance.” The Grand Elder of the Chen Clan spoke immediately after hearing the report delivered to him. “Let’s go there!” he hurriedly said as he brought along the person who had reported the news.He also sent information to the others to gather using a secret communication method. Of course, they had a special device with a network connection. Sometimes, money cannot buy everything—such as a specially designed tool used in times of crisis.When everyone arrived, they clearly saw that there were intruders now observing their opponents. Their gazes fell upon the people lying on the ground, their faces swollen and bruised.Chen Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing dozens of people arrive. “You didn’t know that today would be the day you die, did you? You must have forgotten the date, huh?” he laughed happily. He had already forgotten his earlier humil

    Each individual’s life journey is different; every one of them carries their own destiny from the moment they are born. Some are talented, while others are not. Those who are born with talent and into a good environment that can nurture them into a dragon that roars at the peak of the world are truly fortunate. Chen Mo does not possess great talent, but he was born into a powerful family. Because of that, he was able to achieve success with the support of his clan. At this moment, the residence was not heavily guarded. The members of the Chen Clan firmly believed that their formation could never be breached by outsiders. As for influence, they were undeniably powerful. In their eyes, only a fool would dare target the Chen Clan. However, it seemed that danger had now arrived without their awareness. The guards were even close to falling asleep while on duty, their eyes drooping atop the tall towers built to oversee the surroundings. Of course, these guards were skilled archers. Ju

    The Kelimutu River is an asset owned by the Chen Clan. It is a trade route under their control. Through this route, they have gained many advantages that allowed them to become what they are today—renowned as conglomerates.The river is also connected to the open sea, making it a highly profitable travel route. It stretches across several empires.On the wide banks of the Kelimutu River, there stands a large manor. This is the main residence of the Chen Clan in the Baiyu Empire.At this moment, Chen Nian landed perfectly at a location quite far from there, accompanied by Ma Lang and Ma Cun.Based on the information obtained by Ma Cun, this place indeed belonged to the Chen Clan.Chen Nian looked at Ma Cun and asked after a brief pause, “What do you know about the Chen Clan?”Ma Cun took a slow breath, then exhaled to calm himself before explaining, “The Chen Clan conducts inter-nation trade and can be said to monopolize this trade route. Ever since they achieved this, the Emperor has
