Chapter 520 Sin State!
"I am preparing to depart for the Upper Realm immediately. The matter of the Underworld should not be delayed. Ling'er, the Cave Heaven World has just been established, and we still need you, the Human Emperor of the Fire Kingdom, to oversee it and sort out the rules. If there are any unusual movements, please inform me through the Spirit of the Sacrificial Spirit."
Zhu Chen turned to Huo Ling'er beside him and said.
Although Huo Ling'er was somewhat reluctant, she knew that this matter was of great importance.
After suppressing her emotions at parting, she nodded firmly and said, "Go ahead without worry. We'll take care of things here. Be careful!"
The Fire Emperor nodded solemnly: "Everything in the kingdom is under my and Ling'er's care. You need not worry about anything. Go and do what you must do!"
Ye Qingxian raised an eyebrow as she stood to the side: "Are you sure you don't need me to come with you? I know the Upper Realm better than you do."
Zhu Chen glanced at her, pondered for a moment, and said, "This time when we go to the Underworld, I plan to make it quick and decisive. Having too many people will only make things more inconvenient. You might as well study and comprehend things in this realm first. If you need anything, I will send you a message."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxian did not press the matter, but simply smiled meaningfully: "Very well, then I will wait here for your good news."
To be honest, she was indeed very interested in Zhu Chen's nascent cave world!
In particular, it incorporates the unique laws that blend the Fire Kingdom's dragon veins with the beliefs of all people.
After arranging everything in the lower realm, Zhu Chen no longer hesitated.
With a thought, his figure vanished from the cave world.
When he reappeared, he was standing once again on the edge of the huge sinkhole at the former site of the Fire Kingdom in the lower realm.
Then, he raised his hand and decisively channeled a stream of divine power into an ancient formation hidden deep within the earth's veins in this area.
That is a secret magic array left by the ancestors of the Fire Kingdom, which can connect to the "Sin Province", one of the three thousand provinces in the upper realm!
Although this formation is ancient and its energy is dormant, its core runes are still intact.
With Zhu Chen's current cultivation level and understanding of formations, restarting it is not difficult.
"—Buzz!"
As Zhu Chen injected that pure divine power into the earth vein node, ancient array patterns immediately lit up on the ground beneath his feet!
The light of the entire magic array changed from dark to bright, eventually converging into a thick silver pillar of light that shot straight into the sky!
Within that pillar of light, the power of space was fluctuating violently, faintly forming a stable vortex channel.
Seeing this, Zhu Chen did not hesitate. He took a step forward, and his figure instantly disappeared into the pillar of light.
……
at the same time.
The Upper Realm, the Land of Sin.
Deep within the ruins of a desolate mountain range.
An ancient stone platform, almost completely buried in dust, suddenly burst into light, burning all the dust covering it to ashes!
"Huh? What was that noise?"
Not far away, a rogue cultivator who was searching through the ruins for any remaining fragments of magical artifacts was startled and looked over in surprise.
The light and spatial fluctuations emitted by the stone platform quickly attracted the attention of the independent cultivators active in the area.
In a short while, dozens of cultivators gathered around the stone platform.
They were dressed in different clothes, their auras were mixed, and their cultivation levels ranged from the Array Formation Realm to the Venerable Realm. They were all ruthless characters who had been fighting on the edge of the Sinful State for many years.
"This dilapidated platform... could it be a teleportation array? It hasn't lit up in years!"
"Do you think this might be a secret opening by some ancient sect, transporting some treasure over?"
"Bullshit! This place is a godforsaken wasteland. What ancient church would send anything here? I bet some unlucky bastard triggered a lingering restriction and got randomly teleported here!"
"Whatever it is, let's see what happens. What if there's some treasure inside..."
Everyone was speculating about who the person who came from the teleportation array was.
As they were talking, the light on the stone platform reached its peak.
The spatial vortex stabilized and took shape.
Immediately afterwards, a tall and slender figure stepped out of the vortex with composure and landed on the stone platform.
The light gradually faded, revealing the true appearance of the person.
He was a boy who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old.
The other person was dressed in spotless white robes, and was exceptionally handsome. At first glance, he seemed to be just an ordinary handsome young man, but his calm eyes, which swept over the surroundings, made some perceptive cultivators feel a chill inexplicably.
"Just...just one person?"
"So young? Did you come from the lower realm?"
"Who is this kid? He looks unfamiliar; he doesn't seem to be from our Sinful State!"
After a brief silence, the crowd erupted into even louder discussions.
Everyone was surprised that Zhu Chen used the lower realm teleportation array alone.
After all, those who ascend to the upper realm through such abandoned teleportation arrays often come from the resource-poor Lower Realm, which is considered a prison.
As for cultivators in the lower realms, in the eyes of most people in the upper realms, they are associated with words like sinful blood and great misfortune, and are not even as good as ants, only worthy of being their mounts.
"Judging from his demeanor, he doesn't seem to be an ordinary sinner from the lower realms..."
A somewhat knowledgeable Venerable Realm cultivator squinted at Zhu Chen and said slowly, "This person is dressed in extraordinary clothes, has a calm aura, and shows no fear in the face of so many of us... Could he be a direct descendant secretly trained by some ancient immortal sect or longevity family in the upper realm, specially sent to the lower realm for some kind of extreme training, and now returning successfully?"
His guess was immediately accepted by many people.
"That makes sense! I've heard that the core disciples of powerful factions are sometimes sent to the most arduous places to temper their Dao hearts!"
"No wonder he has such composure at such a young age; he's a direct descendant of an ancient sect!"
"Perhaps he's returning from the lower realm carrying some extraordinary inheritance or treasure!"
Some people's eyes began to turn malicious.
The wages of avarice is death.
In this lawless land of Sin State, murder and robbery are commonplace.
Even if the other party has an extraordinary background, as long as you do it cleanly, who would know?
However, just as some people were getting restless.
A hoarse voice suddenly rang out from behind the crowd:
"Heh heh...a bunch of blind fools!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
There stood a disheveled old man with messy hair, a stubble beard, and a tattered gourd hanging from his waist, leaning against a broken wall, squinting his drunken eyes at Zhu Chen on the stone platform.
His aura was mixed and weak, making him look like an ordinary drunken old beggar.
"You old drunkard, who are you calling a jerky?"
The burly man with a face full of scars shouted in dissatisfaction.
A glint of shrewdness, incongruous with his appearance, flashed in the slovenly old man's cloudy eyes. He took a swig of wine, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and chuckled, "Of course I'm cursing you bunch of blind fools! What ancient sect direct descendants, what lower realm training... Bah!"
As he cursed, he raised his filthy finger, pointing it at Zhu Chen standing on the stone platform, and suddenly raised his voice, saying, "Let me tell you, this gentleman is not some ancient sect disciple. His surname is Zhu, and his given name is Chen!"
