The resonant "Hum!"

Su Chen's mind on the ground went dark; due to the Enlightenment Tea's effect, he actually broke through the bottleneck, and that fearsome aura swept over, causing countless disciples to almost drop their jaws in shock.

No wonder that during their previous clash in the Black Water Heavenly Prison, she faintly sensed that Su Chen's aura was profoundly unfathomable.

Translation: "No wonder, when they clashed in the Black Water Heavenly Prison last time, she had faintly sensed that Su Chen's aura was profoundly unfathomable."

Fortunately she ran away quickly then; otherwise, if they really fought, just that aura would have crushed her half to death.

"There are also these talismans."

As Su Chen casually made a hand seal, the originally clear skies suddenly gave birth to a dark cloud, followed by a bolt of heavenly thunder striking down.

Translation: "Saying this, Su Chen casually formed a hand seal; the originally clear skies suddenly gave birth to a dark cloud, and then a bolt of heavenly tribulation struck down."

All the disciples fell into a brief silence; even Liu Liyan slightly narrowed her eyes, turned to glance at Qing Xia, as if asking: "Is this the inheritance you abandoned your mother and fled alone for?"

Translation: "All the disciples in the field fell into a brief silence; even Liu Liyan slightly narrowed her beautiful eyes, turned her head to glance at Qing Xia, as if asking: "Is this the inheritance you abandoned your mother and fled alone for?""

Qing Xia nodded wryly, feeling a pang of anxiety.

Translation: "Qing Xia nodded bitterly, a wave of palpitations."

Liu Liyan's lips curled slightly, a trace of inexplicable pride surfacing on her beautiful face—yes, that kind of 'glory shared' expression, almost making Qing Xia feel autistic.

"Everyone, have you all learned how to use this Enlightenment Tea and these lightning-fire talismans?"

Translation: "\"Everyone, can you use this Enlightenment Tea and these Thunder Fire Talismans? \""

Only when Su Chen's question rang out did the Warrior King realm cultivators snap back from their shock.

Moreover, several disciples directly teleported to a crater three to four hundred meters away to verify authenticity, while others picked up the Enlightenment Tea on the table to smell it, instantly feeling their bodies lighten and inspiration flash in their minds.

Translation: "Among them, several disciples went to verify the truth, instantly teleporting to a huge pit three or four hundred meters away to look, while others picked up the Enlightenment Tea on the table to smell, instantly feeling their bodies lighten and their minds flash with insight."

"This single lightning-fire talisman has power at least comparable to a full-force strike from a Martial Sect expert!"

Translation: "\"This single Thunder Fire Talisman has power at least comparable to a full‑force strike of a Martial Ancestor Realm expert! \""

"Fellow senior brothers, I merely smelled this Enlightenment Tea, and those profound, obscure truths that were hard to grasp during my past cultivation instantly became clear!"

Translation: "\"Fellow brothers, this Enlightenment Tea—I merely smelled it, and during my past cultivation, those profound and obscure truths instantly cleared up! \""

Translation: "\"Incredible—even the Mysterious Yellow Fruit said to enhance comprehension in the Myriad Gods Secret Realm is no better than this. \""

"Heavens! With this talisman, a lowly Warrior King like me can cross ranks to fight a Martial Sect expert!"

Translation: "\"Good heavens! With this talisman paper, I, a mere Martial King, can fight beyond my level against a Martial Ancestor! \""

"Young Master is mighty! With these talismans, can we stand against Ye Xuan? The Central State Star Pavilion is nothing—just one divine punishment strike and it'll be reduced to ashes!"

Translation: "\"Young Master is mighty! With these talisman papers, can we stand against Ye Xuan? The Central State Star Pavilion is nothing—just one divine punishment strike and it'll be blown to ashes. \""

"Hahaha! Good!! With this as our trump card, plus this Enlightenment Tea that can anytime boost comprehension and break through cultivation bottlenecks, we fear nothing—not even the dogs of the Central State!"

Translation: "\"Hahaha! Good!! With it as a killer move, plus this Enlightenment Tea that can anytime boost comprehension and break through bottlenecks, we fear nothing—not even the dogs of Central State! \""

These moving words voiced the feelings of countless Heavenly Mystery Dao Sect disciples; those who came from the Central State, relying on their high cultivation, had never regarded them as people, calling them mere natives.

Translation: "These moving words voiced the hearts of countless Heavenly Mystic Dao Sect disciples; those who came from Central State, relying on their high cultivation, never regarded them as human, calling them natives at every turn."

And those city-guarding disciples peeking over the walls were each excited, waving their arms and legs.

Translation: "And those guard disciples peeking from the city wall were each so excited they waved their arms and kicked their legs."

Who doesn't want to live?

Translation: "Who doesn't want to live?"

It's merely that urge in the heart, forcibly restrained.

It's just that urge in the heart, forcibly restrained.

They also wanted to prove to those so-called heavenly prodigies of the Central State that the people of the Eastern Wasteland are not natives; they merely lack resources, and given equal resources, in cultivation he would leave them ten streets behind.

Now,

Translation: "Now,"

Originally they still had to rely on others' breath, but now the opportunity to display their talent lies right before them.

Translation: "Originally they still had to rely on others' breath, but now the chance to show their talent is right before them."

"So now, I ask you one more thing: to go out of the city with me, do we still need the spirit of facing death as if returning home?!"

"No need! With this inheritance, the Young Master will surely win!"

the Young Master will surely win!

"Yes, the Young Master will surely win!"

Translation: "\"Exactly, the Young Master will surely win! \""

"Young Master, I just don't know how many of these lightning-fire talismans we have."

Su Chen set down the bronze cup, took Liu Liyan's hand again, feeling the points in the Myriad Worlds Mall rapidly increase, and he grasped her soft hand: "Limitless and endless."

Translation: "Su Chen put down the bronze cup, took Liu Liyan's hand again, feeling the points in the Myriad Worlds Market skyrocket, and he held her soft hand: "Boundless and endless.""

"You can have as much as you want."

"Sigh!"

"Sigh!"

The only drawback is that the point increase speed has become a bit slow now.

Translation: "\"The only drawback is that the rate of point increase has slowed a bit. \""

Just now I glanced at the Myriad Worlds Mall; I originally wanted to buy a warship with Martial Sovereign-level defense, could see the points needed for purchase, but then silently closed it.

Translation: "Just now I glanced at the Myriad Worlds Market; I had wanted to buy a flying vessel with Martial Emperor Realm defense, to check the points needed for purchase, but I silently closed it."

"Damn it!"

Translation: "\"Damn it! \""

Even a shuttle craft capable of space travel requires a devotion value of 100 to unlock purchasing rights?

Translation: "\"Even a space‑shuttle shuttlecraft requires a Deep Love Value of 100 to unlock purchase rights? \""

Now Su Chen somewhat understands that in the mysterious mall, the more outrageous and boundlessly powerful something is—like a supreme bone or double pupils—the more it requires devotion value to unlock.

Translation: "Now Su Chen somewhat understands that inside the Mysterious Market…… the more outrageous, the boundlessly powerful—things like Supreme Bone and Double Pupil all need Deep Love Value to unlock."

Forget it; with few points, it's better to spend them on practical things.

Translation: "\"Forget it; with few points, better spend them on practical things. \""

"Everyone, you've already seen the inheritance." The black dog stepped forward at the right moment, addressing all the disciples of the training field: "Now, come get the Insight Stones and choose which disciples will follow the Young Master out of the city."

Translation: "\"Everyone, you've already seen the inheritance. \" Heigou stepped forward at the right moment, addressing all the disciples of the Training Field: "Now, begin to take the Insight Stones, select the disciples who will follow the Young Master's City.""

"No one gets an Insight Stone, a cup of Enlightenment Tea—the more you comprehend, the faster your realm rises—those who follow the Young Master out of the city!"

"No one gets an Insight Stone, a cup of Enlightenment Tea; those who comprehend more, whose realm rises faster, will follow the Young Master out of the city."

The words fell.

Translation: "The words fell."

The entire sect's disciples were in an uproar from excitement.

Translation: "Excited, the entire sect's disciples erupted in an uproar."

What do cultivators crave most?

Translation: "What do cultivators crave most?"

It is to possess one's own spiritual artifact.

Translation: "It is to possess one's own spiritual artifact."

And those high-grade spiritual artifacts floating in the air—some have even surpassed the realm of spiritual artifacts, reaching the level of imperial artifacts.

Translation: "And those high‑grade spiritual artifacts floating in the air—some have even surpassed the realm of spiritual artifacts, reaching imperial artifacts."

Each of them excitedly gripped the spirit stones in their hands, sat cross-legged, and began to comprehend their own path.

Translation: "Each of them eagerly gripped their spirit stones, sat cross‑legged, and began to comprehend their own Dao."

The martial path is endless.

Translation: "The Martial Way knows no rest."

Within less than the time it takes to burn half an incense stick, the selection results were out.

Basically, the disciples found this Enlightenment Tea spot to be a heaven-defying opportunity; after enhancing their comprehension, they could all break through a minor realm.

Translation: "Basically, the disciples here, with this Enlightenment Tea's heaven‑defying opportunity, after boosting their comprehension, can all break through a minor realm."

The stronger a cultivator's innate comprehension, the faster they absorb and digest the experiences of the sages when in contact with the Insight Stone.

Translation: "The stronger a cultivator's innate comprehension, the faster they absorb and digest the experiences of the sages within the Insight Stone."

But there were also a few disciples with decent talent who had grasped the Alchemy Dao, and some even grasped the Talisman Dao—of course, these were merely initial glimpses into the path.

Selecting disciples with talent for alchemy and talisman crafting from among many cultivators, later training them saves a lot.

I was also selected; I have indeed received a fifth-grade alchemy Dao experience inside this insight stone. If you give me another stick of incense, I will definitely reach the next grade.

Young Master, the headcount is complete; we can set off.

The selected cultivators all had glowing faces, almost dancing with joy.

Those who were not selected all wore dejected looks, envious to the point of turning purple; they knew that only by staying by Su Chen's side and serving him could they have a chance to encounter such a great Dao opportunity.

Departure was imminent.

Liu Liyan pursed her red lips, watching Su Chen step onto the spirit boat and begin laying a defensive formation on it; her blood-red eyes were full of reluctance and pity.

This time it's real.

Not the slightest bit of pretense.

She is genuinely pitiful.

Master… maybe, maybe we should say it again?

Qing Xia walked forward, licking her face, cursing herself for ever suggesting such a bad idea to the master: 'Young Master Su cares so much for you; perhaps you should wipe away a tear…'

Liu Liyan narrowed her blood-red eyes and suddenly swept her gaze toward Qing Xia.

Those alluring eyes surged with a chill that could freeze a person into ice shards.

Qing Xia slapped herself, her back drenched in cold sweat; she dared not meet Liu Liyan's gaze, quickly apologizing: 'Master, it was my fault; I will never again let you pretend to be pitiful…'

Why did the master praise her when it was useful back then?

Now she's lifted a stone only to drop it on her foot, giving off a look that seems to wish she could gouge out her own eyes.

She is unwilling!

But right now Young Master Su is about to leave the city; whether the master will be sad about this departure can wait—her days will certainly not be easy.

Suddenly,

"Chen'er."

As the cultivators had just boarded the spirit boat, Su Changfeng hurried over with Sect Master Liu.

Su Changfeng glanced at the three hundred Martial Kings and the black dog among the guards, then his gaze fell on Su Chen, and he said emotionally: 'Back then, Yao'er was led astray, ignoring my pleas and insisting on marrying far away.'

"Now that this has happened, it's all because of my inadequacy as a father!"

"If I hadn't let the tiger return to the mountain back then, thinking Ye Xuan's meridians were completely ruined and he could never achieve greatness, you wouldn't have borne the stigma of being a spoiled second-generation heir of the Heavenly Mystery Dao Sect, nor suffered so much; even your older sister, who doted on you the most, would have been disappointed in you for three years."

"Fortunately, the matter is now over; at last, hard work has paid off. Chen'er, go bring Yao'er back."

"As your father, I believe she will surely understand that your actions back then were all for the sect, and it was my inadequacy that caused you to suffer."

Speaking to the point of being moved, Su Changfeng's eyes both welled up with tears.
