Chapter 444: 【Store】Character Breaks the Saint Fruit

Chen Yan's expression was grim; his entire body was bound by the blood-Qi exerted by Lu Jianxia, and he flew across the outer sea at an extremely high speed.

Under the winter moonlit night, the vast and boundless ocean was like a mirror of ink-colored glaze, tranquil and profound.

The moonlight was like silk, pouring onto the shimmering surface of the sea, and the sea breeze brushed against his face, carrying a chill.

Lu Jianxia's speed was indeed extremely fast, covering a thousand miles in an instant.

They flew until they landed on an island where a tall tower was built, and she kept a cold face the entire time as she entered the tower.

In the center of the tower, a teleportation array stood silently.

"Greetings, Princess Jianxia." An old woman bowed slightly to Lu Jianxia.

Lu Jianxia nodded slightly, then walked toward the teleportation array.

Chen Yan followed closely behind.

He knew absolutely nothing about everything in this place.

He didn't even know where they were going.

But at this moment, Chen Yan could only follow without a word; at least for now, no one had discovered his abnormality.

Passing through the teleportation array, Chen Yan appeared inside another tall tower.

He walked out following Lu Jianxia.

This place was on top of a high mountain.

Chen Yan looked down the mountain; dazzling neon lights occupied the entire land, and the ground was filled with towering skyscrapers, while various images appeared on huge billboards and holographic projections.

Even the blood-Qi energy in the air was far richer than in Great Xia.

Chen Yan stared intently; was this Lu Province?

It was practically another world.

In Great Xia, technology was more prosperous the further one went toward the center, but within Lu Province, technology was spread everywhere.

Chen Yan could even see various flying warships shuttling past like meteors, leaving behind trails of light.

These were not military, but civilian; many warships were only a few times larger than a sedan.

"Still want to leave?" To the side, Lu Jianxia glanced sideways at Chen Yan with her silver eyes.

Chen Yan did not speak, just stood there quietly; to be honest, Chen Yan didn't even know where he should go right now.

If he went in the wrong direction, Chen Yan worried that Lu Jianxia would tear off his mask the next instant.

Lu Jianxia frowned slightly; she thought Bing Yi was still throwing a tantrum at this moment and felt somewhat speechless.

Childish and vulgar.

Her figure flashed, and she left directly:

"I will come to find you the day after tomorrow to go to the Five Clans Summit together. By the way, don't get lost again."

A new communication array disc appeared in Chen Yan's hand.

"If you still want to leave, then leave."

Lu Jianxia left; it was impossible for her to bring Bing Yi home again, it was pointless.

Chen Yan's eyes flickered; this way, it was possible for him to leave.

But immediately after, Chen Yan's expression changed slightly; he could feel an emotion appearing within his perception.

It was likely a Lu Province powerhouse sent by Lu Jianxia to monitor him.

If he really ran away again, that would truly be a problem.

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes; he looked at the brilliant city below the mountain and stood quietly, pondering his subsequent plans.

Just at this moment, a red and white flying warship, similar to a stretched car, stopped in front of Chen Yan.

The cabin door opened, revealing the luxurious interior, and a charming woman in a red dress stepped out, bowing slightly to Chen Yan:

"Prince Bing Yi, I have come to pick you up."

Chen Yan's expression remained unchanged; he sensed the woman's emotions and did not detect any problems, she was even very excited, excited to the extreme.

This person should be Bing Yi's housekeeper and had some connection with Bing Yi.

Chen Yan nodded and stepped directly into the flying warship.

Soon, the flying warship streaked across the night sky and stopped in front of a villa on a high mountain.

The woman in the red dress opened the door and bent her waist.

Chen Yan walked closer; the interior of the room was luxurious to the extreme.

"Mr. Bing Yi, do you want to cultivate?" The woman spoke again; Chen Yan nodded, and the woman walked to the door of the cultivation room, pressed a series of passwords, and opened the door.

Chen Yan frowned slightly; he seemed to have sensed something and walked into the cultivation room.

The woman in the red dress stood at the entrance of the cultivation room and asked: "Mr. Bing Yi, are you... lacking resources recently?"

Chen Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and said:

"Come in."

The woman trembled: "This..."

She was a bit coy, but then she still entered the cultivation room.

Outside the villa, in the depths of the void.

The Lu clan powerhouse monitoring Chen Yan narrowed his eyes:

"Sure enough, he's not just a little lecherous; can this kind of person really be a heaven-defying prodigy?"

He frowned; the cultivation room could isolate others' perception, and he didn't even need to think about what would happen if he invited a woman into the cultivation room.

Soon, he communicated with Lu Jianxia.

"Understood, you come back; this Bing Yi..." Lu Jianxia's voice was somewhat gloomy:

"No need to pay attention to him."

…………

"Greetings, Divine General!"

The woman in the red dress closed the door to the cultivation room and hurriedly knelt on one knee, the reverence on her face reaching an insurmountable peak.

Chen Yan nodded; he hadn't expected Jiang Yuan's efficiency to be quite so high.

When the woman had said that line, "Are you lacking resources recently?", Chen Yan had understood.

"What is your name?" Chen Yan asked.

"Do not kneel in my presence."

The woman was stunned for a moment, then said:

"My name is Li Honglian. I was originally a secret agent arranged by the Xia Clan to spy on Bing Yi. The situation arose suddenly, so I had no choice but to kill Bing Yi's steward first and disguise myself as her to receive the Divine General."

As Li Honglian spoke, her appearance shifted, reverting to her previous look, which could be considered quite pretty.

Chen Yan guessed that the old man at the teleportation array transit station was also a secret agent of the Xia Clan; otherwise, it would have been impossible to transmit information so quickly.

Chen Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief. Jiang Yuan was quite capable, and the things he needed to worry about now were actually fewer.

Soon, Li Honglian activated a communication array and began trying to establish contact with the Xia Clan.

Between the Xia Clan and Lu Province, there were multiple information transit stations.

Many were in the open, but there were also quite a few hidden ones.

Soon, Chen Yan established contact with the interior of the Great Xia, but the distance was too great for a video meeting.

Even text messages required a long wait, and they were all garbled code.

It required Li Honglian to translate them based on the decryption manual she had memorized.

"I cannot leave right now; Lu Jianxia is keeping a tight watch on me," Chen Yan said quietly.

"I need you to wheedle out some information that only Yu Yi would know, to prevent me from being exposed.

Furthermore, there is the sub-lamp. Can the Grand Aunt-Elder modify the information in Yu Yi's sub-lamp again, and then have someone deliver it to me?

Otherwise, as long as I cross hands with a genius on the Five Clans Ranking, the ranking order belonging to Chi Yi on the Five Clans Ranking will change, and I will be in danger."

Chen Yan stated his requirements all at once.

Soon, the message from the Grand Aunt-Elder arrived, and Li Honglian said:

"The Grand Aunt-Elder says she will immediately modify the information in Yu Yi's sub-lamp, and at that time, she will have someone bring Yu Yi's essence blood and the sub-lamp to you.

Before then, the Divine General must not engage with any experts on the Five Clans Ranking who have a higher rank than you.

If their rank is lower than yours, it won't affect anything; you already occupy the first and second positions, so even if you defeat someone ranked lower than you, the rankings will not change.

Also, you must find an opportunity to escape."

At the same time.

Within the borders of Great Xia, Jiang Yuan looked at the blood-covered Yu Yi, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth as he took out an iron needle:

"Sorry, I have to work overtime tonight."

Jiang Yuan's face was deathly pale, but he had to act now.

Otherwise, if Chen Yan were still in Lu Province and happened to do something Yu Yi wouldn't do, it would be all over.

Therefore, tonight, Yu Yi must tell Chen Yan everything he could possibly know.

Yu Yi's face was ash-white, and he roared at this moment:

"Kill me!

Ahhh!!!"

Jiang Yuan chuckled as he pierced the iron needle into Yu Yi's forehead:

"What are you screaming for? You're just pretending to be Chen Yan; Chen Yan wouldn't even blink at this level of pain."

"Ahhh!!!"

Tonight.

Chen Yan, Li Honglian, Jiang Yuan, and the Grand Aunt-Elder were all staying up late.

Jiang Yuan was continuously prying all the information Yu Yi knew out of his mouth and then telling Chen Yan.

It lasted until the early hours of the morning.

"He has passed out, but there shouldn't be any major issues."

After receiving the latest news, Li Honglian spoke up.

"Mm, thank you for your hard work," Chen Yan nodded and sat down cross-legged:

"I still need to learn the art of disguise; can you teach me?"

Li Honglian nodded.

This was still Chen Yan's own problem.

Techniques like sound transmission and disguise were very low-level arts.

They generally involved using internal force or Qi and blood to transmit sound and change subcutaneous structures and skin color.

It was just that Chen Yan still didn't know how to perform sound transmission or disguise.

It wasn't that he was stupid, but that he had never had the time to learn.

Moreover, even if he learned them, his disguise might be seen through by an expert.

Transmitting sound under the nose of a Seventh-Rank Creation Realm expert was even more foolish.

It was better to use a mask to cover his face; this mask was given by the Grand Aunt-Elder, and Chen Yan had previously swapped it for the mask Bing Yi had been wearing.

It could block the prying of Creation Realm experts.

Chen Yan learning disguise now was just a precaution.

After all, a Creation Realm expert could see through it at close range, but what about from a distance?

Time passed slowly.

It was not until noon that Li Honglian left.

Chen Yan altered his appearance and began to cultivate.

The Blood Qi path could now be promoted to the fifth-tier Dharma Truth Realm.

Inside Chen Yan's body, there was still an amount of energy comparable to a Sun-level Blood Qi treasure medicine.

The imitator, Yu Yi, had already reached the Dharma Truth Realm, but the original, Bing Yi, had not yet been promoted to the fifth tier.

Fortunately, the fifth realm of the Hard Tempering path, the Law-Extinguishing Realm, is a realm that transcends the rules of heaven and earth.

However, the Dharma Truth Realm of the Blood Qi path involves sensing the rules of heaven and earth and will not encounter a lightning tribulation.

Chen Yan calmed his mind and began to absorb that powerful Blood Qi energy.

【Illusion Ripple Abyss Domain】, activate!

Word Realm, activate!

Chen Yan's absorption speed was fast to the extreme.

This was the result of Chen Yan's three months of closed-door cultivation.

As a Bright Moon-level Grade A Blood Qi cultivation technique, the 【Illusion Ripple Abyss Domain】 is terrifying once it enters the Micro level.

Chen Yan's speed of circulating and absorbing Blood Qi had reached an unprecedented level.

This was the series of phenomena brought about by a good foundation.

For an average fifth-tier practitioner to absorb one Sun-level treasure medicine, it would take ten days; if their Blood Qi cultivation technique was not good enough or not practiced enough, it could even take a month.

But for Chen Yan, with the addition of the Word Realm, it took only one day!

Blood Qi boiled within Chen Yan's body, and the Blood Qi Divine Body began to be forged.

One after another, 【Blood】 character Saint-Breaking Fruits were born!

One!

Two!

……

Five!

……

Fifteen!

……

Thirty!

Chen Yan's eyes narrowed, and cold air and wild thunder rumbled incessantly within his body.

On the Will Divine Body, that leg which had not yet been forged began to slowly take shape.

As time slowly passed.

On the Saint-Breaking Tree, the fiftieth 【Blood】 character Saint-Breaking Fruit was born!

The progress of the Saint-Breaking Tree was full, and it began to change, advancing toward the ninth tier!

Chen Yan had no time to worry about these things; he was now about to be promoted to the fifth-tier Dharma Truth Realm of the Blood Qi path.

Comfortable!

A feeling of being unobstructed!

A feeling completely different from the Hard Tempering path!

The Blood Qi Divine Body began to merge with Chen Yan's physical body, and all the energy within the Blood Qi Divine Body began to enter Chen Yan's own flesh and blood.

It was as if, at this moment, new space had been expanded within each of Chen Yan's cells.

Ice-thunder cyclones swirled around Chen Yan, sweeping through the entire cultivation room.

Clusters of light flames exploded, constantly bombarding and colliding.

All the Blood Qi within Chen Yan's body rolled continuously, and countless ice-thunder light flames danced on Chen Yan's body like fireworks, slowly condensing into a phantom image behind him.

It was a light sphere resembling a star; it was only a phantom, yet it carried a vast pressure.

This was the True Essence Dharma Image that represented the Dharma Truth Realm.

It looked the same as the Law-Extinguishing Realm of the Hard Tempering path, but in reality, an absolute difference had already emerged.

This True Essence Dharma Image was not something Chen Yan had willed to condense, but something that had emerged naturally after sensing heaven and earth.

This star-like True Essence Dharma Image was, in fact, a miniature version of this world.

As Blood Qi martial artists enter the Dharma Truth Realm, their sensing of heaven and earth becomes increasingly clear and thorough.

Chen Yan slowly closed his eyes, feeling the True Essence Dharma Image behind him.

In fact, it had not yet fully condensed.

It had only condensed about ninety percent.

The degree of condensation of the True Essence Dharma Image represents the amount of the martial artist's own Blood Qi.

This was already the average level for many peak fifth-tier Blood Qi martial artists.

And Chen Yan had only just entered the fifth tier.

This was because Chen Yan's Blood Qi Divine Body was the combination of one hundred Blood Qi Divine Bodies.

From the very beginning, it was one hundred times that of others.

Chen Yan slowly stood up and looked at the Saint-Breaking Tree.

【Saint-Breaking Tree (Level 9): 15/2000】

The Saint-Breaking Tree had been promoted to level nine.

Chen Yan looked at the progress panel, his face filled with joy; a new type of fruit had been born.

【Saint-Breaking Tree (Level 8): 15/

Strength: 75/100

Blood: 73/100

Technique: 23/100

Physique: 81/100

Array: 37/100
