Chapter 677: Chapter 353: Divine Palace! Blood Shadow Beneath Yunquan City!

“Qi luck? What is that?”

Luo Cheng was very curious.

Previously, he was too far from the Domain List, didn’t know much, and this was the first time he heard such news.

Yin Li said, “There are many explanations for Qi luck. Some say it’s the aura of heaven, some say it’s the earth’s dragon vein, human fate, and so on. There are various theories, but what is certain is that Qi luck can affect all aspects of a person. For example, if two people fall off the same cliff, the one with weaker Qi luck will surely be smashed to pieces, while the one with stronger Qi luck not only won’t die but may also encounter adventures…”

“Qi luck is intangible and enigmatic, profound and elusive. Without reaching a certain realm, it’s difficult to grasp its essence. What I know and have heard is quite limited…”

Yin Li gently shook her head and said to Luo Cheng, “Since you qualify for the Domain List, you must strive for it. The theory that the Domain List increases Qi luck, although not substantiated by evidence, is not entirely baseless.”

“Throughout history, those who could make it to the Domain List before the age of eighteen have later achieved great things. The higher the ranking, the greater the achievements. The Great Chu Empress, for example, dominated the Awakening Vein Realm Domain List at the age of fourteen and then excelled in the Continent List. At twenty-two, she became the first on the Eastern Continent True Master list, becoming the youngest emperor of the Eastern Continent in a millennium!”

“The Great Chu Empress! Dominated the Awakening Vein Realm Domain List at fourteen!”

Luo Cheng once again heard the name of the Great Chu Empress!

It seems that as long as it’s about the records of powerful figures, she was always first. Even though she has now vanished, her legend still overshadows geniuses from a thousand years past and future, with unparalleled brilliance and unmatched prominence.

This made Luo Cheng feel pressured.

He was already fifteen, had achieved some accomplishments in the Great Yue Dynasty, yet compared to this Great Chu Empress, it was insignificant.

Yin Li understood Luo Cheng’s mood and sighed:

“The Great Chu Empress was a once-in-a-millennia genius emperor, the peak among peaks. The records she set, not just in our Yunlan Domain Group, are unlikely to be broken in the entire Eastern Continent for another thousand years. We shouldn’t compare ourselves with her; it would only bring unnecessary trouble.”

Luo Cheng nodded and asked, “Sister Yin Li, what is the approximate strength of the top ten in our Yunlan Domain Group’s Awakening Vein Realm Domain List?”

“Oh? Do you want to compete for the top ten on the Domain List?”

Yin Li raised her eyebrow slightly and said slowly, “That’s not an easy task.”

“The top ten in the Domain List are the top talents from various nations, including those who have awakened Earth Level Martial Souls and Heavenly Martial Souls, monstrous geniuses.”

“Not only have they reached the limit of the Awakening Vein Realm in cultivation, but their cultivation techniques and martial arts are top-notch, with no apparent weaknesses. Some have even awakened powerful Martial Soul Divine Powers. Each can directly confront an Earth Level Great Power, and the top three can even defeat Earth Level Great Powers, their combat abilities are formidable.”

“To compete with these individuals, your strength will undoubtedly need to rise a level.”

Defeat Earth Level Great Powers…

While shaken, Luo Cheng began to analyze his own strength.

His current peak combat ability is sufficient to face ordinary Earth Level Great Powers directly.

But to defeat Earth Level Great Powers, he lacks much confidence.

Yet, Luo Cheng did not lose confidence because of this.

His cultivation is on the verge of breaking through the Awakening Vein Realm peak, and then his strength will advance further.

Besides, his Sword Intent is just a step away from perfection, becoming a Sword Intent Level Swordsman!

Most importantly, he has comprehended the incredibly strong Slaughter Sword Intent!

Once he becomes a Sword Intent Level Swordsman, his strength enhancement will undoubtedly be much greater than other Sword Intent Level Swordsmen, and even more substantial!

As for exactly how strong, Luo Cheng knows not.

But defeating ordinary Earth Level Great Powers should not be too difficult.

Seeing Luo Cheng remain silent, Yin Li, thinking he was discouraged, reassured him, “You don’t need to be disheartened. Your Slaughter Attribute Sword Intent is strong, very strong. As long as you become a Sword Intent Level Swordsman, making it to the top ten, even the top five of the Domain List, should not be a problem. The premise is that you must comprehend true Sword Intent in the Awakening Vein Realm!”

“Top five?”

Luo Cheng shook his head and laughed, “Since we’re striving, why not aim for first place.”

Luo Cheng’s goal has never changed: to be first on the Domain List, becoming the strongest, most invincible in the Awakening Vein Realm, just as the Great Chu Empress achieved.

“First place?”

Yin Li was taken aback, glanced deeply at Luo Cheng, unsure if he was joking.

Despite his age, he always leaves her feeling mysterious and unpredictable.

Luo Cheng did not dwell on this matter but rather inquired more about the Domain List.

Yin Li responded with all she knew, withholding nothing.

“Sister Yin Li, you mentioned the Domain List involves an Ancient Sect, what is this Ancient Sect’s name?”

Yin Li took a gentle breath and said, “This Ancient Sect is called the Divine Palace.”

“Divine Palace? Commanding gods! Such an arrogant name!”

Luo Cheng exclaimed in surprise, wondering, “I’ve never seen any records about the Divine Palace in the Xuanyuan Record of our Xuanyuan Sect. Did I miss it…”

The Xuanyuan Record is comprehensive in its introduction to the cultivation world, documenting many famous ancient powers, yet Luo Cheng had never seen any mention of the Divine Palace.

Yin Li shook her head, “You didn’t miss it. But the history involving the Divine Palace seems to have been intentionally erased; many people don’t know about it. I stumbled upon it in an ancient text.”

“According to the ancient text, the Divine Palace was one of the top powers of ancient times, filled with strong individuals, its Sect Master was unrivaled, commanding the era. Unfortunately, at its peak, the entire Divine Palace was leveled overnight, disappearing without a trace, even its existence deliberately erased.”

“Leveled overnight? That’s too unbelievable. Who did it?”

Luo Cheng gasped in shock, utterly incredulous.

An ancient top-tier power annihilated overnight, with its presence thoroughly erased, what kind of ability is this!

Nearly akin to immortality!

“Unknown, the ancient text’s author seemed reticent about this matter as well, with records not detailed, and due to the text’s incompleteness, what truly happened back then remains unknown.”

Luo Cheng marveled deeply; the world is vast, and what he has seen and heard is indeed limited.

At this moment, the Ice and Snow Giant Snake suddenly slowed down.

“We’ve arrived at Yunquan City,” Yin Li said.

Luo Cheng gazed downward, seeing a city standing at the edge of his sight.

Though the sun shines brightly, the entire city is shrouded in a thin, milky-white mist, resplendent under the sunlight, cloudlike and radiant.

Having been to Yunquan City before, Yin Li explained, “Below Yunquan City lies an underground spiritual spring, these springs can help individuals enter the cultivation state faster, accelerating cultivation speed to some extent, attracting well-known martial artists.”

“Let’s go! We’re heading over!!”

Not wanting to attract too much attention, Yin Li waved her hand, letting the Ice and Snow Giant Snake dissipate.

Swish! Swish!

The two soared towards Yunquan City.

Deep beneath Yunquan City, underground passages crisscross, milky-white underground waters flow. Read complete versıon only at novel(ꜰ)ire.net

In an inconspicuous underground passage, the mist is not milky-white but a dense, eerie blood color, the water entirely blood-red, resembling a river of blood!

Within the blood river, a massive blood shadow appeared, ebbing and flowing with the current.
