Chapter 603

"Could Master have broken through to the Other Shore realm in one go?"

Mo Mo Shenggu rubbed his hands together in excitement.

Zhang Wei Wuji sighed with emotion: "There are likely thousands of people breaking through this time. Mr. Su has truly gifted everyone a chance at the Dao of Immortality."

The other Mount Wudang experts nodded one after another, casting grateful gazes toward Su Chen on the white jade platform.

Although not every one of them had gained something, it was undeniable that the help Su Chen had provided them was no different from a sect inheritance.

……

The second private room in the West District.

Zhu Zhu Houzhao’s eyes were wide as copper bells, and he said indignantly: "Abominable! Abominable! Why did I wake up so early? Could it be that I truly lack the aptitude for immortality?"

Brother Duan Brother Duan Tianya, Shangguan Shangguan Haitang, and the others kept their faces stiff, terrified that they might laugh out loud.

They had originally seen Zhu Zhu Houzhao so full of confidence and thought he truly had some trick up his sleeve.

Yet they hadn't expected that among everyone, Zhu Zhu Houzhao was almost the first to wake up.

In the end, Cao Brother Duan Zhengchun gave a light cough and comforted him: "Your Majesty, do not be angry. As the saying goes, the old man losing his horse—who knows if it is a blessing or a curse? Since Your Majesty failed to comprehend the *Dao Scripture*, perhaps you will comprehend an even stronger technique later."

Zhu Zhu Houzhao’s eyes lit up at these words, and he nodded: "What Eunuch Cao says is reasonable. This *Dao Scripture* is mysterious and profound; it truly isn't to my liking. Perhaps the technique suitable for me has yet to appear."

Thinking this, Zhu Zhu Houzhao immediately swept away his dejection, his eyes burning as he looked toward the white jade platform, waiting for the storytelling to continue.

……

"Ding!"

"The host's storytelling is captivating and soul-shaking, triggering breakthroughs throughout the venue. Specifically rewarding 8 popularity points."

"Storytelling popularity has broken through 3,867,000 points."

"The host has cumulatively obtained three Platinum Lottery Cards, eight Gold Lottery Cards, six Silver Lottery Cards, and seven Bronze Lottery Cards."

"Please keep up the good work, host."

Listening to the system notification in his mind, Su Chen couldn't help but have his eyes light up.

The upper limit for popularity point rewards this time had actually increased to 800,000?

This meant that the audience coming to listen to the story had increased by nearly 50% compared to last time.

This was not just an increase in the reward cap; it also represented a massive increase in the normal growth rate of popularity points.

Thanks to this, just this short segment of storytelling had earned Su Chen a massive popularity reward of a full 3.8 million points.

If the popularity growth continued at this rate, he might even be able to obtain 20 million popularity points from the storytelling portion alone today.

Thinking this, Su Chen became even more spirited. He unfurled his Autumn Moon Fan and said in a clear voice:

"Continuing the story!"

"After Ye Fan discovered the origin of the golden book, he was overjoyed and hurriedly stored the golden book into his bitter sea."

"At this very moment, the great battle in the core area of the Demon Emperor’s tomb had also reached its most critical juncture."

"Although those treasures scattered about carried the killing intent of the Great Emperor, as time passed, the killing intent gradually dissipated, and they were seized by people one after another."

"But until now, top-tier factions like the ancient Ji family and the Yaoguang Sacred Land had remained unmoved."

"They were waiting for the true supreme treasure within the five-colored divine palace."

"After waiting for who knows how long, a light of extreme brilliance erupted from the five-colored divine palace."

"Following that, a small crystal coffin, three feet in size, shot out from the five-colored divine palace, its speed as fast as lightning."

"Even more terrifying was that the small crystal coffin radiated an incomparably vigorous life force, as if there were a living thing inside."

"The great experts of the Yaoguang Sacred Land, the ancient Ji family, and other factions had long been poised for action, and seeing this, they all struck at once."

"Dozens of giant palm prints appeared in the void in an instant, pressing down toward the small crystal coffin with great momentum."

"Under so many attacks, the small crystal coffin shattered with a boom, and immediately, boundless demonic Qi rushed straight into the clouds."

"Inside that small coffin was, shockingly, a heart—a heart that was still beating continuously!"

"The source of that boundless demonic Qi came precisely from this heart, and at the same time, it radiated a rich aura of life."

"Even if the life auras of all the experts in the Demon Emperor’s tomb were added together, they would still be far inferior to this heart."

"At this moment, all the experts went completely red-eyed."

"In their view, this was clearly the Heart of the Demon Emperor, the holy heart of the Qing Di, the first emperor of the post-ancient era."

"An unprecedented and terrifying battle erupted right then and there, with everyone wanting to claim that heart for themselves."

"Knowing his strength was low, Ye Fan had long since taken advantage of the chaos to run in the opposite direction, slipping away."

"But he did not know that this Demon Emperor’s tomb utilized a formation of ‘one yang, one yin, holding the Taiji’."

"The heart, the source of power, was located in the Yang tomb, while the cold corpse was buried in the Yin tomb."

"And the direction Ye Fan had fled in was precisely where the Yin tomb was located."

…….

As Su Chen’s voice fell, a sudden uproar broke out in the hall.

A heart had actually flown out from the Five-Colored Divine Temple!

Moreover, it was a living heart containing majestic life force; this was clearly a major secret.

Because Su Chen had previously said that the Green Emperor had defied the heavens to live for ninety thousand years, it was clearly obvious that he had not died.

Then what was the origin of this heart?

Upon hearing Su Chen’s subsequent words, the crowd was even more shocked.

The Green Emperor’s Great Tomb consisted of two parts, one Yang and one Yin; judging by common logic, the Yin tomb was certainly the more precious one.

And the direction Ye Fan was heading toward was precisely the Yin tomb.

What could be inside this Yin tomb?

For a time, everyone in the hall began to discuss it one after another:

"The Green Emperor’s Holy Heart? What is going on? Didn't the Green Emperor not die? Then where did this heart come from?"

"This heart is definitely not the Green Emperor’s; perhaps it belongs to some great demon slain by the Green Emperor."

"Even if this is not the Green Emperor’s heart, being placed in a small crystal coffin within the Five-Colored Divine Temple, it must have a significant background."

"But if this is not the Green Emperor’s heart, why would the Green Emperor go to such great lengths to build a great tomb to bury it?"

"Didn't you hear Mr. Su say that this Green Emperor’s Great Tomb is a Taiji of one Yin and one Yang, and the Yin tomb is the true key location?"

"That's right! Ye Fan is worthy of being the protagonist; the place he is going to now is the Yin tomb."

"Interesting, please Mr. Su, tell us quickly; I really want to know what is inside the Yin tomb."

……

The ninth private room in the South District.

Song Song Yuanqiao, Zhang Wei Wuji, and others were also discussing the plot of the Chronicle of the Heavenly Emperor, but their eyes looked toward Zhang Zhang Sanfeng from time to time.

Up to this moment, Zhang Zhang Sanfeng was still in the midst of closing his eyes and gaining enlightenment, and the strange phenomena above his head were becoming increasingly terrifying.

That expanse of golden bitter sea seemed boundless like a vast ocean, with golden lotuses blooming within it.

Furthermore, a life spring surged into the sky, condensing into a magnificent divine bridge that led straight to the unreachable other shore.

However, Zhang Zhang Sanfeng’s bitter sea was simply too vast.

That divine bridge extended infinitely, yet it could never reach the boundary.

Just at this moment, Zhang Wei Wuji’s expression suddenly shifted, and he exclaimed: "Grandmaster is about to break through!"

The moment his voice fell, the divine bridge above Zhang Zhang Sanfeng’s head suddenly erupted with brilliant divine light, finally reaching the other shore and constructing a perfect cycle.

And the instant the other shore realm was cultivated, the aura on Zhang Zhang Sanfeng’s body instantly surged more than tenfold.

Waves of terrifying air currents spread out with him as the center, sweeping across the entire venue.

At this moment, everyone was shaken by the strange phenomena of Zhang Zhang Sanfeng’s breakthrough.

Planting golden lotuses in the bitter sea!

That huge, nearly boundless bitter sea left everyone dumbfounded.

Especially those martial arts experts in the hall who had only just begun to grasp the prototype of the bitter sea were even more shocked beyond measure.

If their bitter sea was a pond, then Zhang Zhang Sanfeng’s bitter sea was a vast ocean.

The two were completely incomparable.

Not to mention that Zhang Zhang Sanfeng’s bitter sea also appeared golden, with golden lotuses dotted upon it; one could tell at a glance that it was extraordinary.

"Heavens! This is the aura of a Quasi-Saint; Daoist Zhang has broken through to the Quasi-Saint realm!"

Someone with keen eyes in the hall exclaimed, instantly causing the entire venue to be shaken once again.
