70: Chapter 70 Reunion with Hua Tian

A moment later, Chen Yuan sat crouched on a rock in the Giant Flood Dragon Clan Secret Realm, his eyes tightly shut and his brows furrowed.

He slowly opened his eyes afterward, completely unaware that his eyes were already moist.

The gaze Yan Qingwei directed at him was filled with guilt and worry, but what Chen Yuan saw more of was—maternal love.

Calming his emotions, Chen Yuan slowly stood up.

Another memory fragment of cultivation experience had also been imprinted in his mind.

"This memory fragment is truly terrifying; it can actually affect even my Tribulation Transcendence Stage mind."

Chen Yuan couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. The higher his cultivation, the fewer things there were that could sway his emotions.

"Where can I get spirit crystals now… Could it be that I have no choice but to go to the Upper Realm?"

Honestly, Chen Yuan did not want to go to the Upper Realm at this moment.

Firstly, he didn't even have Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivation now. Reality was not like a simulation; if he encountered danger, he wouldn't have the chance to reload.

Secondly, if he were to go to the Upper Realm like this, he would be carrying the main body of the space-time mirror.

Who knew if those Half-Emperor Realm schemers like Tai Ding would discover it.

Chen Yuan did not yet have enough strength to face a Half-Emperor Realm ancestor who possessed a fragment of a Chaos Supreme Treasure.

Even with the help of his Half-Emperor Realm mother, Chen Yuan wouldn't be foolish enough to go up against Tai Ding right now.

"Right! Aren't there still those people?"

Chen Yuan slapped his thigh, suddenly remembering that at the beginning of this simulation, he had gone to find people from Xiujin Tower and Tanyan Sect to collect some interest.

Presumably, as an affiliated force of the Nine Heavens Domain, Tanyan Sect should have quite a lot of spirit crystals.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan immediately set off and left the secret realm.

As soon as he returned to the Spirit Ruins Realm, Chen Yuan felt as if his bloodline had been sealed.

The Western Region was located in a remote part of the Spirit Ruins Realm, where spiritual energy was not abundant to begin with.

Now, what Chen Yuan felt was not so much suppression, but rather that the spiritual energy here was simply insufficient for him to unleash his full potential.

Arriving at the territory of the Wanzhen Sect with familiar ease, Chen Yuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

The first time he came here in the simulation, he was only at the Golden Core stage, and it was under the guidance of the Wanzhen Sect that he gradually stepped into the ranks of array masters.

Glancing at the majestic mountain gate of the Wanzhen Sect, Chen Yuan ultimately did not act as he did in the simulation and grab Yang Cong out directly.

After all, this was reality, so he still had to pay some attention to his reputation.

As he stepped onto the stone path of the Wanzhen Sect, many disciples cast suspicious glances at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan was already handsome, and after obtaining the Perfect Great Dao Body, his entire being seemed transcendent and refined.

Even without the Peach Blossom Luck talent, he still attracted the attention of quite a few female disciples.

Chen Yuan did not conceal his Spirit Severing stage aura, and soon, Hua Tian arrived before Chen Yuan with a group of elders.

"Senior, please forgive us for our poor hospitality during your visit to the Wanzhen Sect. These are some gifts prepared by our Wanzhen Sect; we ask that you please accept them."

Hua Tian's respectful voice rang out, and the accompanying elders also bowed to him.

After all, the news of Chen Yuan causing a huge ruckus at the Yin Yang Spirit Sea Garden had long since spread throughout the Western Region.

Hua Tian also felt a trace of trepidation in his heart, not knowing the temperament of this newly promoted Spirit Severing stage senior. If he were to cause a ruckus at the Wanzhen Sect just like he did to Daoist Lan Hai, it would be disastrous.

The Wanzhen Sect had no Spirit Severing stage expert guarding it; it only relied on the fact that Hua Tian was a Sixth-Rank Array Master, which gave them extensive connections in the Western Region.

"Sect Master Hua, greetings. I have come this time to solve a problem for your sect."

Chen Yuan chuckled and did not accept the gifts given by the Wanzhen Sect.

There was no other reason; it was just that the things the Wanzhen Sect gave were of too low a rank, and to him now, they were like toys.

"A problem? May I ask for your guidance, Senior? What is the problem you speak of?"

Hua Tian paused in his heart, but still feigned ignorance as he asked Chen Yuan.

"Hehe, Sect Master Hua, take a look behind you."

Chen Yuan did not explain further.

Chen Yuan's smile made Hua Tian's hair stand on end, but when he turned his head to look, he was dumbfounded.

Behind him was no longer the Wanzhen Sect, but a blood-red world, and not far away, the roars of warhorses and soldiers could be heard incessantly.

"An illusion array? When…"

Hua Tian was worthy of being a Sixth-Rank Array Master; he reacted immediately.

Seeing Chen Yuan make a gesture of invitation, Hua Tian quickly realized that Chen Yuan was asking him to break the array.

Afterward, a trace of disdain couldn't help but arise in his heart.

"I respect your impressive strength, but for you to dare challenge me in array formations? I'll show you that experience trumps youth."

Hua Tian muttered to himself, but he dared not show it on his face.

Half an hour later, the expression on Hua Tian's face gradually became solemn.

An hour later, Hua Tian's forehead was already covered in dense beads of sweat.

He had long since set aside his dismissive attitude. This illusion array was merely a Sixth-Rank array, but its level of precision far exceeded any array Hua Tian had ever seen.

Even though he had stepped into the Sixth-Rank Array Master realm for a long time, he still felt helpless when facing this illusion array.

Fortunately, Hua Tian finally discovered the array eye of this formation. Seeing that Chen Yuan did not react, he then made a move to destroy it.

Once the array eye was broken, the scene before Hua Tian collapsed with a roar.

Chen Yuan was sitting in a pavilion not far away, leisurely drinking tea, while a group of elders whispered worriedly beside Hua Tian.

"Sect Master! You have finally woken up."

"Sect Master, how are you feeling? Do you want me to go and invite Elder Heavenly Sword over?"

Sounds of voices brought Hua Tian's thoughts back, but he paid no attention to the people around him.

He covered the distance in a few strides and came before Chen Yuan, bowing deeply.

"Many thanks for your guidance, Senior!"

Hua Tian could not hide the excitement in his tone.

Although he had been trapped in the illusion array for an hour or two, he felt that his understanding of arrays had improved significantly.

Clearly, this young man before him, who was much younger than himself, also had far superior array cultivation.

"Get up. It was just a small matter."

Chen Yuan remained expressionless. It was originally intended as a show of force to the Wanzhen Sect; helping Hua Tian was just a side effect.

"My Wanzhen Sect has been trapped by the demonic beasts below for a long time. I beg for your assistance, Senior. We are willing to follow you even unto death!"

Hua Tian immediately took up the topic; he had long known what the problem Chen Yuan spoke of was.

It was just that at the beginning, he didn't know what Chen Yuan's intentions were, so he didn't dare to speak up.

The many elders on the side started chattering again after hearing Hua Tian's words.

"Sect Master, why is this?"

"Sect Master, could it be that you are being threatened by this person? I will go and find Elder Heavenly Sword to stand up for you right now!"

"Enough!"

Hua Tian spoke up to stop the whispers of the group of elders around him.

After explaining to them repeatedly, the elders finally stopped talking, though their eyes still carried a trace of disbelief as they looked at Chen Yuan.

There was no helping it; Chen Yuan looked too young.

Like these array masters, any one of whom could make the Western Region tremble just by stomping their feet, who among them hadn't started cultivating from the womb?

The path of arrays not only required extremely high talent, but also exceptional courage and the right opportunities at the right time!

"Senior, I will take you to the great array right now!"
