Chapter 25 The Grinning Tongtian
After breaking through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm, Su Chen’s mastery over the Law of Power had reached such heights that even against a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he could fight and emerge victorious.
Not to mention—he possessed the supreme offensive merit treasure, the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler. Thus, even peak Great Luo Golden Immortals would struggle to gain the upper hand against him!
______
At Biyou Palace, Tongtian Sect Master, sensing Su Chen’s breakthrough, turned his gaze toward his disciple’s secluded cultivation chamber.
“This is simply defying all logic!”
“Originally, I thought Su Chen would need at least 500 years to break through to Taiyi Golden Immortal… but he actually spent over 1,000 years comprehending the ‘Immortal Golden Body’ Realm before advancing! Just how terrifying is his foundation?”
Tongtian’s eyes were filled with shock and deep anticipation.
“As long as Su Chen continues to grow, my Jie Sect will surely remain eternal and unmatched in the Great Desolate World!”
______
The Great Desolate World had six Saints and four major sects. The Western Sect had two Saints, making them the strongest on paper. However, since San Qing (Three Pure Ones) were siblings born from Pangu’s primordial spirit, the Western Saints were extremely wary of them—never daring to openly provoke any of them, only scheming in the shadows.
Yet Tongtian understood that despite their shared origins, San Qing harbored deep internal conflicts. Otherwise, he would never have split from his brothers to establish Jie Sect. Still, after the split, their relationship had eased somewhat, but the rivalry never disappeared.
At their level, competition was no longer about personal strength—it was about sect disciples and their sect’s destiny.
_______
“That second brother of mine keeps saying that my disciples are all lowly beasts—spawned from wet eggs or covered in fur and horns… Let’s see what he says when Su Chen crushes his disciples in battle!”
Thinking of this, Tongtian suddenly became excited about the upcoming Three-Sect Competition, which took place once every 50,000 years.
For the longest time, his second brother, Yuanshi Tianzun, had looked down on Jie Sect’s disciples, calling them nothing more than beastly creatures. Even though Duo Bao’s strength surpassed Guang Chengzi, Yuanshi still refused to acknowledge their worth.
But now with humans being the destined rulers of the Great Desolate, and Su Chen being a pure-blooded human, having only cultivated for less than 2,000 years.
If he dominated the Three-Sect Competition and crushed Yuanshi’s Twelve Golden Immortals, then what face would Yuanshi have left to mock Jie Sect?
Tongtian had absolute confidence in Su Chen.
In just 3,000 years, he had reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm—a feat unparalleled in all of the Great Desolate.
Moreover, Su Chen had inherited Pangu’s legacy and was likely the legendary ‘One That Escaped from the Dao’!
He had comprehended the Law of Power—the head of the 3,000 Great Daos—at the Immortal Golden Body stage. Such a thing had never happened before in the Great Desolate!
So even though Su Chen had just broken through to Taiyi Golden Immortal, Tongtian was certain that he could overpower Yuanshi’s strongest disciples—the Twelve Golden Immortals!
______
Tongtian knew that among Yuanshi’s disciples, the strongest were Guang Chengzi, Yuding, and Antarctic Immortal Weng. They were the only ones who had entered the ‘Immortal Golden Body’ Realm at the Golden Immortal stage and could comprehend the Grand Dao at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level.
But what about Su Chen?
He had already comprehended the Grand Dao at the ‘Immortal Golden Body’ stage, and it wasn’t just any Dao—it was the Law of Power, the supreme foundation of all Daos!
Now that he had broken through to Taiyi Golden Immortal, his control over the Grand Dao of Power would only make him even more terrifying!
And let’s not forget Su Chen cultivated both ‘Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art’ and ‘Nine Revolutions Primordial Art’, refining both body and soul simultaneously—an unmatched combination in all of the Great Desolate!
Even the strongest of Yuanshi’s Twelve Golden Immortals stood no chance against Su Chen!
______
Meanwhile, Su Chen had no idea that his master, Tongtian, was grinning so wide he could barely close his mouth. Nor did he know that Tongtian was already looking forward to him crushing the Twelve Golden Immortals in the next competition. Right now, Su Chen was focused on something else.
“If I want to find the Chaos Bead, I should first master the ‘Ground-Shrinking Light’ divine ability. The Great Desolate is vast—if I rely on traditional flight spells, it would take an eternity to travel!”
Su Chen understood the principle of ‘sharpening the axe before chopping the wood’. Thus, before setting off on his journey for the Chaos Bead, he decided to master the ‘Ground-Shrinking Light’ divine ability—one of the Thirty-Six Supreme Divine Abilities, known for its unparalleled speed.
He had personally witnessed its power when traveling back to Jie Sect with Kui Niu, and he had long been eager to learn it himself.
“Buzz!”
As he began training, the initial stages went smoothly. However, as he deepened his comprehension, he detected several flaws in the technique. Thus, by channeling the Law of Power, he began refining and correcting these flaws, enhancing the technique far beyond its original potential. By the time he was done, its speed had increased by at least 50%!
“The Law of Power truly deserves its title as the head of the 3,000 Grand Daos!”
“Ground-Shrinking Light is a space-based speed technique, but with my control over the Law of Power, I can naturally evolve it into a superior space-movement technique by refining its flaws!”
For the first time, Su Chen truly felt the terrifying potential of the Law of Power. His heart surged with excitement.
Now, With his strength at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level and his mastery over a perfected Ground-Shrinking Light technique…
The Chaos Bead would soon be his!
