Chapter 1186: I Have Natural Talent

"So that is a Loose Cultivator?" Tianxin was startled, looking up at Chen Yu: "A Loose Cultivator actually has such strong power?"

"There are many Loose Cultivators in this world, and many strong ones too; there is nothing strange about that," Chen Yu said with a smile.

"Cultivation, after all, depends first on natural talent, and second on opportunity. I happen to possess both."

Tianxin looked at Chen Yu, her temper completely gone.

"Sect Leader, let us go quickly; the Cloud Void Realm is currently in its best period for entry," Bamu said.

Tianxin looked at Chen Yu, waiting for his signal. Chen Yu waved his hand and said: "Let's go. We are traveling together this time; you have no objections now, do you?"

Tianxin remained silent. If she had joined forces with Chen Yu earlier, perhaps the disciples of her sect would not have suffered such heavy casualties.

Finally, the group entered the legendary Cloud Void Realm, a place where the Spiritual Energy was actually less dense than outside.

Moreover, after entering the cave and walking along the passage for about half an hour, the view suddenly brightened, and a massive space appeared before them.

This was a desert; in the endless desert, a few withered plants grew sparsely, and the horizon was a dark red color.

Occasionally, a mass of black smoke would rise in mid-air, like a burning signal fire.

The scene before them suddenly changed, and an Ancient Battlefield appeared; the battlefield was filled with signal fires, and armored soldiers were fighting and shouting like a tide.

Yet before their eyes, they saw no enemies; these armored soldiers were hacking and slashing at the air like madmen.

A gust of cold wind blew, and the fighting soldiers fell to the ground like a tide, while at the same time, countless black mists condensed into human shapes and charged toward the soldiers behind.

A general shouted loudly, and countless soldiers roared in unison, their shields forming a square formation to meet the black mists.

The black mists swept through the square formation, and again, countless soldiers fell to the ground; as more soldiers died, the black mists in mid-air grew more vigorous.

The battlefield was filled with the corpses of heavy-armored soldiers, and as the formation was crushed, the last squad of soldiers also fell to the ground.

And in mid-air, a giant ghost face appeared; this ghost face was ferocious and terrifying.

Immediately after, the ghost face dissipated, and the sky turned blood-red. Countless red creatures with wings flew from the horizon like a tide and landed on the fallen soldiers; these soldiers rose one after another, only their Double Pupils had turned crimson.

The vision ended there, and everyone returned to reality; except for Chen Yu and Sanwei, everyone else was deathly pale.

"What is this?" Tianxin looked horrified. When those soldiers stood up from the ground just now, with faint crimson light gleaming in their eyes, it was enough to make one's heart and gallbladder shatter.

"The war of the ancient Ghost Clan," Chen Yu said in a deep voice: "This is an ancient battlefield. If I am not mistaken, a war broke out between the Ghost Clan and the rulers of that time."

"The Ghost Clan... won?" Tianxin found it hard to believe.

"The power of the Ghost Clan comes from the soul. Too many people fell during the war of the Ancient Gods, and at that time, the Underworld had not yet been formed, so there was no path of Reincarnation."

Chen Yu said: "Over time, the Ghost Kingdom was formed, becoming a clan of its own, wreaking havoc on the world. And in fighting them, the more people died, the stronger their power became."

"Then how were they wiped out later?" Bamu asked.

"The Heavenly Dao does not allow things that are too strong to exist in the world, so when the time came, someone naturally took care of them," Chen Yu said: "Let's keep moving forward; I feel that someone has arrived here a step ahead of us."

The group walked forward. Tianxin took out a map, checked the surrounding environment, and then looked into the distance.

"This is wrong; this place is different from the map my father drew," Tianxin cried out.

"It's different?" Bamu was also startled.

"Of course it is different. The Cloud Void Realm is not immutable. Although one enters from the same place, different teams will arrive at different locations."

Chen Yu said: "So this map has no meaning, but the Seven Perils and Three Hardships within this place do exist, and the final destination will be the same."

"Why do you know so much about this place?" Tianxin looked at Chen Yu.

"Because I am here representing Dragon Breath. I am here on business, so Dragon Breath naturally had to explain everything to me clearly," Chen Yu said.

"Then the map my father traded his life for is of no use at all?" Tianxin sighed.

"It's useless; keep it as a memento," Chen Yu said: "He really shouldn't have come here."

"He did it for our sect. The Seven Star Sect has been established for less than three hundred years. Seeing the rise of many sects in the mountains of Shu and the decline of the Seven Star Sect to this point, he, as the Sect Leader, had a responsibility."

Tianxin's eyes turned slightly red: "If it weren't for this responsibility, he wouldn't have risked coming here. Not everyone who comes here is driven by greed."

"Your Shu mountains stretch for five hundred kilometers, known for the Seven Sects and Nine Gates; there must be a lot of fighting, right?" Chen Yu sighed and said.

"Yes, the Seven Sects and Nine Gates fight every year over resources and territory. Our Seven Star Sect is considered the weakest among them, barely able to protect ourselves. A single mistake could lead to the destruction of the sect."

Tianxin was silent for a moment and said: "Do you know what the destruction of a sect means?"

"According to the survival laws of Dharma Cultivators, the men are slaughtered, and the women mostly end up as Cauldrons," Chen Yu said indifferently: "Because the law of your world is that the weak are prey to the strong."

"Yes, the world of Dharma Cultivators is just like that. If we were ordinary people, it would be better; bound by secular laws, struggling for three meals a day, and returning to the earth when old, that would be carefree and happy."

Tianxin smiled, a bitter smile: "But we cannot. If we slack off even a little, a disaster of extinction awaits us."

"The world of Dharma Cultivators is inherently very cruel," Chen Yu sighed: "You came to the Cloud Void Realm this time with the determination to die, didn't you?"

"I have already entrusted the sect to the Elders. If something happens to me, the sect will be passed on, but the world of Dharma Cultivators is so perilous, I don't know how much longer it can hold on," Tianxin sighed slightly.

"Hold on as long as you can," Chen Yu smiled slightly: "After I finish the business here, I will turn back and help you. I will bring the Seven Sects and Nine Gates of Shu under my command."

"Are you serious?" Tianxin was startled. She did not think Chen Yu was bragging, because she felt that Chen Yu fully possessed this strength.

But in the five-hundred-kilometer mountain range of Shu, there were many sects of Dharma Cultivators, and among them were many hidden experts. Was Chen Yu planning to kill his way through them one by one?

"Do you think I am joking?" Chen Yu smiled slightly.

Tianxin fell silent again. Chen Yu was not joking. A glimmer of hope suddenly welled up in her heart; perhaps this was the opportunity for their Seven Star Sect to rise.
