Chapter 661: Chapter 661 – Opportunity

Chen Heng wasn’t sure why Yiu Ruo didn’t leave a mark in this world, but he didn’t care. He firmly believed that as long as he continued to advance and become strong enough, and if Yiu Ruo were still alive, they would meet again someday.

This was not only Chen Heng’s feeling but also a premonition. In his mind, the Mark of Destiny had always existed. At this moment, it was still shining and guiding him in all directions. Vaguely, he could see the scene of the two of them meeting again in the future, not in the near future, but in the distant future. Chen Heng was not anxious about this. He just quietly worked hard to cultivate.

Time passed. Lightning rumbled in the sky when Chen Heng’s body was a hundred years old. Then, a divine sword came out of thin air, rushed straight toward Chen Heng under everyone’s watchful eyes, and landed on his body.

The divine sword was incredible. There were dragon patterns engraved on it, and its power was more terrifying than the Earth Heavenly Weapon. Even the Hao Hua Sect leader was shocked and could not come into contact with it directly. Nevertheless, just a single sword was enough to suppress all the Heavenly Venerates. Mortals couldn’t describe the feeling but could only feel the horror.

However, the divine sword still fell directly into Chen Heng’s hand in the end, seemed docile, and didn’t have the wildness of a divine weapon. Nevertheless, Chen Heng and the ancient sword seemed to merge as one under the illumination of the immortal light. His entire body was shrouded by the Dao Principle and immortal light, like an immortal who had descended to the mortal world, looking exceptionally outstanding and unique.

Everyone in the surroundings was silent looking at this scene. Chen Heng’s reputation as the reincarnation of the immortal God had unknowingly spread outwards, becoming even more resounding.

“So this is what it feels like.” Chen Heng smiled as he held the ancient sword, feeling that familiar pattern.

The ancient sword in his hand was no other than his original body. Back then, after he had differentiated into this avatar, his ancient sword body did not completely fall into silence but was strengthening itself by constantly devouring the spiritual aura and natural creation in the surroundings.

Now that several decades had passed, this ancient sword became even stronger. Chen Heng’s heart moved as he felt a sense of resonance with the ancient sword in hand. Even if others had divine weapons, they could at most only achieve the state of being one with the sword and unleash a stronger power.

However, it was different for Chen Heng. The ancient sword and he was originally one body. Hence the power they could unleash was far greater than others.

In the past, Chen Heng had once tried to lend his power to Bai An, and he had felt that kind of resonance. The power he could unleash was indeed powerful under the resonance. However, it was not as powerful as he was now in the end.

“So that’s how it is.” Chen Heng felt the resonance and came to a sudden realization.

The so-called unity of a man and sword, in essence, was actually the resonance between two Dao weapons, a weapon master and a divine weapon. The paths taken by a divine weapon and a cultivator were not the same. There was a huge difference in the understanding and application of the Dao Principle between them.

Therefore, they formed completely different systems and Dao weapons. When two different Dao weapons resonated with each other, the power they could unleash would far exceed the power of a single person. This was the essence of the resonance between a weapon master and a divine weapon.

Chen Heng could intrinsically do the same after understanding the essence. This body of his was not affected by Chen Heng’s past. What he cultivated was a pure Dao weapon of this world, which could resonate with the system he cultivated in the past, unleashing even more powerful strength. After all, compared to other cultivators who could borrow strength, this was his own strength. So, naturally, he had more advantages when he unleashed it.

Chen Heng silently put away the ancient sword and returned to his secluded cultivation place to continue cultivating. In this world, his only goal was to cultivate. And now, he saw a clear, visible path before him.

Hundreds of years had passed in a flash. Occasionally, mighty Dao rhyme would pass by in the air above the Hao Hua Sect, shrouding the surroundings. This had suddenly appeared hundreds of years ago.

Chen Heng had already taken a step forward during these hundreds of years. He had broken through the Heavenly Venerate Stage and cultivated to the eighth rank with the system of this world. This level of cultivation had already surpassed the current Hao Hua Sect leader.

At that time, the Hao Hua Sect leader had taken the initiative to surrender and passed the Hao Hua Sect leader position to Chen Heng. At the same time, he became a Supreme Elder, assisting Chen Heng in handling the sect’s affairs.

After that, Chen Heng released his Dao rhyme and let his Dao Principle interweave with the outside world, then condensed it and used it for Dao enlightenment.

Chen Heng’s body transformed bit by bit over hundreds of years, becoming stronger, continuously changing every period. Cultivators from the outside world came to visit from time to time. Many powerhouses were on the same level as Chen Heng.

Chen Heng’s aura was too powerful. Those existences stopped at the gate of the Hao Hua Sect after sensing Chen Heng’s aura, and all sighed and felt inferior to him in the end. This is because Chen Heng had reached his peak after hundreds of years of cultivation. He was only one opportunity away from reaching a higher level.

“It’s incredible…” In the Hao Hua Sect, a Supreme Elder couldn’t help but sigh as he sensed the changes in the Dao rhyme in the air. “It seems that the Sect Leader is not far from the legendary supreme Heavenly Venerate domain. He has reached the peak of the Heavenly Venerate Stage, just one step away to breaking through.”

“As expected of the reincarnation of an immortal God, the first person in ten thousand years…” Another Supreme Elder also spoke and let out a deep sigh.

As for Chen Heng’s origin, he was confirmed to be the so-called reincarnation of an immortal God, and he couldn’t help it. Firstly, there was the resonance of the Immortal Sect, and then there was the divine weapon that descended from the sky.

In addition to his legendary deeds and excellence, no one would believe it even if he was not the reincarnation of an immortal God. If he were not the reincarnation of an immortal God, there wouldn’t be such a phenomenon that frequently appeared in a person.

Therefore, after hundreds of years, these rumors spread as Chen Heng continued to reach his peak. In the end, even many elders in the Hao Hua Sect began to believe it. Therefore, everyone looked forward to Chen Heng’s future, including the many elders before him.

For hundreds of years, they observed the Dao Principle in the air, feeling the flow of Dao rhyme. Besides observations, they also comprehended the Dao Principle to improve and temper themselves. The more they comprehended, the more astonished and incredulous they felt about Chen Heng’s performance.

No one doubted whether he would be able to break through the final threshold. Everyone believed that Chen Heng would be able to break through to the next level and reach the supreme Heavenly Venerate domain. The only difference was the timing. Based on their observations, it wouldn’t be long before Chen Heng could make his final breakthrough, which was the case.

The Dao rhyme in the air had been changing since a few years ago, and there were all sorts of violent reactions. The Dao rhyme was vast and mighty as it charged in all directions. However, it was incomparably violent, causing people to feel that the changes were unfathomable.

The changes continued for a hundred years as if something was about to be born. The changes finally stopped on a certain day after a hundred years. Then, a brand new change began to occur.

Bang!

Lightning rumbled in the air on this day. Then, a terrifying sound erupted in the sky. The aura in the air was continuously changing before it came to a stop.

Chen Heng’s figure gradually walked out from his isolation grounds and arrived in the outside world. The people in the surroundings immediately welcomed him as he appeared.

“Sect Leader, will you succeed?” The elders looked at Chen Heng with anticipation.

The entire Hao Hua Sect had been looking forward to Chen Heng’s promotion for a long time, and they were eager to hear a positive answer. However, Chen Heng didn’t reply to the elders’ questions, then shook his head.

Everyone was puzzled and heard Chen Heng speak just as they were about to ask, “I gained something, just that I was lacking an opportunity in the end.” Chen Heng said softly, looking at the elders before him.

“I see.” The people around nodded to show their understanding.

Then, Chen Heng left the Hao Hua Sect for a simple reason. He hoped to search for natural creation and an opportunity to break through in the outside world. But, of course, in reality, the opportunity to break through was illusory. The real reason lay in the ancient sword.

After hundreds of years of cultivation, with the support of the Immortal Sect in terms of pure cultivation, the current Chen Heng already had the capabilities to go one step further. However, he still needed the ancient sword’s cooperation to advance truly.

Chen Heng already had a premonition. The moment he truly advanced and broke through to the supreme Heavenly Venerate, he would face the heavenly tribulation and the ancient sword’s ninth armed tribulation.

His body would advance with the ancient sword, rising and falling together. Therefore, he didn’t try to break through right away. Instead, he left the Hao Hua Sect and was ready to spend more time preparing silently.

He searched for the natural creation and spirit aura from various regions to nourish the ancient sword in the following days. Occasionally, he would also obtain fragments of divine weapons, all of which were refined and added to the ancient sword by him. As a result, the ancient sword’s aura rapidly increased as it charged forward.

Another hundred years passed in the blink of an eye. Chen Heng raised his head in a barren land. A bolt of lightning passed by the half-empty city and was about to descend.
