232: Transitional realm! Not the ancestral realm?

When Chen De's power invaded, Lin Zhao's teleportation blurred instantly.

It was originally just a half-finished random teleportation, and now it became a half-finished product among half-finished products.

To be honest, in this situation, the probability of falling into a spatial rift was almost ninety-nine point nine-nine percent.

However, the other party was a Child of Destiny, and Chen De dared not be careless.

Chen De watched coldly as the spatial rift gradually healed and disappeared.

Echoing in his ears was the joyful howling of the soul body.

Chen De remained silent, digesting the information he had received.

Eight Clans… abandoned child… ruins… Eight Ancestors Heaven-Shaking Devil Art… Eight Ancestor Zhan Tian… no more Ancestor Realm… Forge Tower… subduing strange flames… Zhou Tian Realm… Sun Moon Pavilion… Pavilion Master Xuan Yun… accepting disciples… suffering betrayal… slumber… Ling Xu City… six years of absorbing qi… accepting disciples.

After Chen De obtained the lifelong memories of this person named Caoyun, he looked at the weak, transparent, and constantly joyful soul body in his hand.

He compressed it, crushed it, activated Soul Devour, and perfected it.

Vaguely, Chen De heard a shrill scream, accompanied by a clear plea for mercy.

However, it was only for an instant, and Chen De dismissed it as an illusion.

Chen De had always done good deeds and never asked about the future.

He had never done evil, and everything he did was to subdue people with virtue.

Under these circumstances, how could anyone beg Chen De for mercy?

Wasn't this tarnishing Chen De's moral reputation and calling him a hypocrite?

Such a thing, without even thinking, was certainly false.

He just hoped that it wouldn't be believed by certain people.

If so, then those people would be considered contaminated.

Chen De himself didn't care, but for the sake of the righteous path of heaven and earth, it could not be slandered.

Then Chen De, he could only say, sorry!

Next, Chen De began to digest the lifelong memories of this Pavilion Master Xuan Yun.

It had to be said, it was quite rich, as expected of a peak Zhou Tian Realm expert, equivalent to a half-step Piming Realm expert.

In her youth, she came from the Xuan Clan among the Eight Clans, but was later framed and expelled from the clan…

However, Chen De was not interested in these personal states of mind, growth changes, and the like.

What Chen De was most interested in was a ruin that Xuan Yun had entered in her youth, and some information she obtained from there.

And it was in this ruin that he obtained the greatest opportunity of his life.

The Eight Ancestors Heaven-Shaking Devil Art and the "True Fire Breaking Fate Art" were both obtained there.

Unfortunately, the Eight Ancestors Heaven-Shaking Devil Art was said to bring misfortune due to the Slaying of the Heavens, so in the end, Xuan Yun did not choose to cultivate it.

Instead, she chose the relatively safer "True Fire Breaking Fate Art."

The "True Fire Breaking Fate Art" had a miraculous effect on breaking through to the Piming Realm.

The most crucial thing was that it had a characteristic that even the Eight Ancestors Heaven-Shaking Devil Art did not possess.

That was, it added an extra realm between the Piming Realm and the Zhou Tian Realm, which was the half-step Piming Realm.

This half-step Piming Realm was different from Chen De's half-step Heavenly Imperial Realm at the peak of the Demon Domain Realm.

The half-step Piming Realm was a solid, complete realm.

The greatest function of this realm was to enhance strength, shorten the gap with the Piming Realm, and increase the probability of breakthrough.

According to what Xuan Yun knew, for those who cultivated the "True Fire Breaking Fate Art" and reached the peak of the Zhou Tian Realm, stepping into the half-step Piming Realm, the success rate of breaking through to the Piming Realm was more than ten times that of others.

Chen De was very interested in the principle of this realm; it was equivalent to opening up a transitional realm between two realms.

Not only could it greatly increase the success rate of breakthroughs, but having an extra transitional realm could also make the foundation more stable.

For example, those who broke through from the half-step Piming Realm to the Piming Realm were even stronger than those who broke through from the Zhou Tian Realm to the Piming Realm.

Chen De did not expect such a cultivation technique to appear in this world.

Although in this world, this technique could only be considered Heaven-tier.

But in Chen De's eyes, it was even more valuable than the Ancestor-tier "Eight Ancestors Heaven-Shaking Devil Art."

This technique's value did not lie in its strength, but in the meaning it represented.

Conversely, the Eight Ancestors Heaven-Shaking Devil Art created by the combined Eight Ancestors seemed rather ordinary.

Of course, cultivation techniques are always appropriate; what environment calls for what technique.

Perhaps during the Slaying of the Heavens, such a technique was suitable, who knows.

Maybe under certain conditions, it was incredibly powerful.

Chen De obtained memories of the "True Fire Breaking Fate Art" from Xuan Yun's mind.

Looking at the content, Chen De had a feeling it was a half-finished product.

But it didn't matter; the important thing was the reference, Chen De wouldn't actually cultivate the Piming Realm again.

It was still the same saying: the principle was key, the reference was key.

Chen De often stayed in a certain realm for a long time because he couldn't find the factors for devouring and evolving individuals.

And Chen De had a premonition that finding devouring individuals would only become increasingly difficult in the future.

Thus, the time spent in each realm might also become longer and longer.

In this case, if Chen De could find a transitional realm within the limits of his current realm, with Chen De's various talents and bloodlines, he would definitely have a chance to step into the lowest level of the next realm.

This way, not only would finding individuals be easier, but his life-saving ability would also be significantly stronger.

Of course, there was also a relatively crucial piece of information currently obtained from Xuan Yun.

The Black-Robed Figure was not an Ancestor Realm expert!

Although his strength was great, in front of a true Ancestor Realm expert, he was still like an ant.

Xuan Yun had seen some residual images from the Slaying of the Heavens by the Eight Ancestors in the ruins where she obtained the "Eight Ancestors Heaven-Shaking Devil Art."

In the residual images, any one of the Eight Ancestors had the ability to instantly kill the Black-Robed Figure.

No, not just the Black-Robed Figure; even the current Chen De could be instantly killed, leaving no trace behind.

Xuan Yun's knowledge was not comparable to that of Hai Yue, the Di Gang Realm expert from the Heavensea Sect.

Based on the residual images, Chen De judged that the Ancestor Realm might be equivalent to the strength of the Heavenly Imperial Realm.

This point really surprised Chen De.

Such a world, barely capable of giving birth to Heavenly Imperial Realm experts, had already produced eight of them.

This, this was completely unlike something that could happen in such a world.

First, the peculiar "True Fire Breaking Fate Art," then the selfish World Consciousness, and so many Heavenly Imperial Realm level experts.

These three existences, each more peculiar than the last, completely subverted Chen De's understanding learned from the Four Profound Heavens.

According to common sense, in such a world, none of these three things should appear.

But the problem was, they appeared together.

At this moment, Chen De felt that this world was full of strangeness.

To be safe, Chen De decided not to occupy the entire world for now, but to first cultivate all three systems to their peak.

Incidentally, Chen De planned to visit the ruins that Xuan Yun had explored.

All three of these things were related to that ruin, so perhaps he could find some clues.

Of course, it was also related to the Eight Clans, after all, Xuan Yun was also from the Eight Clans and knew some information about them.

For example, each of the Eight Clans had a remnant soul of one of the Eight Ancestors.

Chen De did not want to confront Heavenly Imperial Realm level experts so early.

Of course, that's not to say he wouldn't go; once he secured the ruins, Chen De would personally visit the Eight Clans.
