13: Chapter 13 The Yuan Demon Secret Realm: The More You Fight, the More There Are

Chu Chen returned to the inn and took out the ten thousand demons immortal devouring sword.

He then produced the Seven Treasures Sword Casket and removed all the spiritual swords contained within.

As the ten thousand demons immortal devouring sword drew near these spiritual swords, it emitted a series of sword hums.

As if drawn by some attraction, the seven spiritual swords all floated into the air of their own accord, encircling the ten thousand demons immortal devouring sword.

In the next moment, the seven spiritual swords transformed into a liquid state and poured into the ten thousand demons immortal devouring sword.

After devouring these seven spiritual swords, the ten thousand demons immortal devouring sword advanced from an ordinary sword to the quality of a high-grade spiritual sword.

Wisps of demonic energy radiated from the blade; the ten thousand demons immortal devouring sword was beginning to manifest its demonic power.

Chu Chen reached out to stroke the ten thousand demons immortal devouring sword in his hand.

"From now on, you shall follow me through a lifetime of battles, carving out a legendary name in this great world."

The ten thousand demons immortal devouring sword seemed to understand Chu Chen's words, its blade emitting a resonant hum in response.

Over the following month, Chu Chen focused on practicing the Demon God Visualization Method, and his cultivation level subsequently broke through to the seventh layer of the Spirit Condensation Realm.

"I need to push harder to break through to the Mortal Shedding Realm. Only then will my Demon God Body fully awaken."

The Mortal Shedding Realm meant shedding one's mortal body and truly stepping onto the path of immortal cultivation; upon reaching Mortal Shedding, those with exceptional talent would awaken their constitutions.

Those who awakened their constitutions possessed combat power far greater than ordinary Mortal Shedding Realm cultivators; some who awakened heaven-defying constitutions could even defeat enemies across an entire major realm.

Chu Chen already had the Demon God Body integrated by the system; he only needed to reach the Mortal Shedding Realm for it to awaken automatically.

Calculating the time, the Five Sects Discourse was about to begin.

These five sects were the Tianxuan Sect, Kaoshan Sect, Xuanming Sect, Yinshan Sect, and Chiyan Sect.

Today, Kuidou City was exceptionally lively. Due to the opening of the Five Sects Discourse, the number of people was several times higher than usual.

To participate in the Five Sects Discourse, one had to possess a Five Sects Disciple Trial Token.

"Hey, hey, hey! Step right up, don't miss out! A Five Sects Discourse Trial Token for only five thousand spiritual stones. There's only one, first come first served, first come first served!"

Chu Chen walked toward the shouting street vendor.

Seeing Chu Chen approach, the vendor didn't even wait for him to speak before starting his sales pitch.

"Hehe, young man, let me tell you, this token is a genuine Five Sects Discourse Trial Token. For just five thousand spiritual stones, you can participate in the trial."

"If you're lucky enough to place in the top ten, then congratulations, you'll receive a drop of dragon transformation blood from the East Xuan Empire, and even have a chance to enter the Dongxuan Sect."

"The Dongxuan Sect is the number one sect in the East Xuan Empire, standing high above the five sects."

Chu Chen didn't waste time arguing with the vendor; he first used his divine soul to probe the authenticity of the token in the man's hand.

Although Chu Chen had never participated in the Five Sects Discourse, he had seen these tokens before; he could tell truth from falsehood with a single scan.

Sensing a specific aura within the token, he confirmed it was indeed real.

"Three thousand," Chu Chen said.

"I say, young man, how can you haggle like that?"

"Two thousand five hundred. If you won't sell, I'm leaving," Chu Chen stated again.

"Sold, sold, sold! Two thousand five hundred it is, no backing out now!" The vendor, fearing Chu Chen would haggle even lower, hurriedly agreed.

Chu Chen tossed two thousand five hundred spiritual stones to the vendor and successfully obtained the Five Sects Discourse Trial Token.

Once Chu Chen was far away, the vendor said smugly, "Fooled another sucker. He actually thinks he can make the top ten."

Then the vendor began shouting again.

"Step right up, don't miss out! The very last Five Sects Discourse Trial Token, selling at a low price! Only five thousand spiritual stones!"

The center of Kuidou City.

A massive martial stage had been erected, upon which sat the Sect Masters of the five sects.

Dan Xuanzi was the first to speak: "Everyone, you are the elites of your respective sects. You shall represent your sects in this Five Sects Discourse trial."

"The Five Sects Discourse involves heading into the Yuanmo Secret Realm to slay the Primal Demons within. Every Primal Demon has a drop of pure Demon Blood on its forehead. This Demon Blood can aid in your body tempering. If someone breaks through to Mortal Shedding here, they might even awaken the Demon Tyrant Body."

"Over ten days, the one who slays the most Primal Demons will receive three drops of dragon transformation blood. The top ten will each receive one drop."

"Furthermore, you may join the Dongxuan Sect. This is your great fortune."

As his voice fell, the five Sect Masters each produced a piece of Bronze Jade.

A brilliant green light erupted from the Bronze Jades, converging and shooting straight into the sky.

Boom!

In an instant!

Everyone present holding a Five Sects Discourse Trial Token turned into a beam of green light and was transported into the Yuanmo Secret Realm.

Yuanmo Secret Realm.

At this moment, the more Chu Chen thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Logically, the Sect Masters should know exactly how many people from their own sects were participating in the Five Sects Discourse.

Knowing that outsiders had also entered the Yuanmo Secret Realm, not a single Sect Master had come forward to point it out.

Chu Chen felt something was off, but for the moment, he couldn't guess their true intentions.

Deciding not to overthink it, he first observed his surroundings.

Chu Chen spotted a stone monument standing not far away.

He walked over immediately. Three magnificent golden characters were carved upon it.

Wangsha Sea.

Chu Chen's brow furrowed slightly. So this place was called the Wangsha Sea, but aside from endless sand, he hadn't seen a single living creature.

Just as he said this, Chu Chen sensed something was wrong. Something underground was rapidly approaching him. His Spirit Condensation seventh-layer divine soul power could cover a radius of seven hundred meters, including the ground below.

Under the detection of his divine soul, Chu Chen perceived a massive creature closing in on him at high speed.

"Bang!"

Chu Chen decisively leaped into the air. In the next moment, the ground exploded.

A monster that looked like a snake but possessed two large pincers opened its bloody maw to bite at Chu Chen.

Swish!

A black sword light sliced through the air, and the massive monster was split in two.

Cutting open the monster's brow, a drop of essence blood floated out. Chu Chen collected it into a jade bottle.

This monster must be a Primal Demon, and this essence blood was the Demon Blood.

Rumble...

Before even a few seconds had passed, the entire ground began to vibrate.

In an instant, countless Primal Demons burst through the ground, pouncing toward Chu Chen.

These Primal Demons seemed numerous, but most were only at the fifth layer of the Spirit Gathering Realm.

To Chu Chen, they posed no threat at all.

With a few flashes of black sword light, these Primal Demons lay scattered across the ground in pieces.

However, these Primal Demons seemed endless; as soon as one batch died, another arrived.

Anyone else would likely have fled in terror. After all, with these seemingly inexhaustible Primal Demons, even a Spirit Condensation Realm cultivator would be ground down to death here.

But in Chu Chen's eyes, these were all excellent supplements to increase his cultivation.

He immediately summoned the ten thousand soul banner!

With Chu Chen as the center, a bloody light spread in all directions. Under the shroud of this light, any Primal Demon that attacked Chu Chen was devoured completely by the ten thousand soul banner.

And so, a comical scene unfolded: the souls of the Primal Demons devoured by the ten thousand soul banner were summoned by Chu Chen to fight against the living Primal Demons.

As for insufficient spiritual energy? That was non-existent. Chu Chen devoured the refined essence fed back to him to recover his spiritual power while simultaneously commanding the Primal Demon souls to fight for him.

In summary, Chu Chen's side would only grow stronger the more they fought, and he could even raise his cultivation level in the process.
