Chapter 140: A Surprising Discovery

Ji Hongfu chuckled.

This Chen kid is quite thoughtful to rescue himself from trouble.

“I’ve been away from the Martial Immortal Realm for many years. The barren lands I knew back then have probably long been occupied by others, so you’ll need to inquire about this yourself.”

“Alright.” Chen Ansheng nodded and then asked, “Elder Ji, if I bring the Ascension Pool here, can you repair it?”

Ji Hongfu replied, “Just need to channel some laws to patch it up, it won’t be difficult for me.”

Chen Ansheng felt delighted and asked, “By the way, Elder Ji, if I hide the Ascension Pool in a storage bag, that shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

Ji Hongfu responded, “Of course, there’s no problem. It’s only when you place the Ascension Pool in a dominion with a master and channel the Ascension laws that it will be detected by the land’s ruler.”

After understanding this, Chen Ansheng sat down to prepare for the breakthrough to True Immortal Realm.

“Young friend Chen, I will bring forth a strand of ‘True Injury’ laws, you can use your immortal soul to perceive and deduce it, integrating it into your body’s sword essence, then you will establish a connection with that law.”

“Understood, please proceed, Elder Ji.”

“Good.”

The two sat opposite each other.

With Ji Hongfu’s powerful immortal soul, searching for a strand of sword path law was effortless.

In just a quarter of an hour, an invisible thread of law descended.

Chen Ansheng felt Ji’s intent guiding him, the soul thought overflowing, fully concentrating on sensing the subtleties of that strand of law.

More than an hour later.

Zheng…

In the Tranquility Pavilion, a continuous sound of sword ringing erupted.

In front of Chen Ansheng, the pure white solitary immortal sword floated, imbued with a faint silver-gray light.

“Hahaha, great! The law has been comprehended; young friend Chen, you can break through now.”

With Ji Hongfu’s reminder, Chen Ansheng summoned a piece of ink crystal, and his blood energy rapidly circulated to digest it.

Streams of celestial spirit energy entered his body, and Chen Ansheng underwent a baptism that allowed him to directly break through the boundary threshold.

Boom!

A wave of celestial power emanated from Chen Ansheng, causing even Elder Ji to stagger half a step back.

Then, Chen Ansheng slowly opened his eyes, and a silver sword radiance flashed fleetingly in his pupils.

True Immortal Realm, achieved!

“Thank you for your assistance, Elder Ji.”

Chen Ansheng immediately stood up and bowed to Ji Hongfu.

Ji Hongfu beamed with a smile and said, “I thought it would take you at least three to five days to grasp this strand of law; I didn’t expect you to succeed in just one hour. You have a bright future ahead.”

Chen Ansheng nearly turned red at the compliment, knowing well that his aptitude was simply average. His ability to comprehend so quickly relied partially on the divine elixir gifted by his master Zhu Feng and also on the soul thought stone given by Elder Ji.

Both greatly enhanced his mental power, how could his comprehension not improve?

“Elder Ji, are those strange beings still impacting the barrier?”

Chen Ansheng felt his strength surging and wanted to try his sword.

“Still working on it.” Ji Hongfu nodded, then added, “However, I advise you not to kill them.”

“Why?” Chen Ansheng asked in confusion.

Ji Hongfu smiled and said, “Those strange beings possess extremely strong defensive and recovery abilities; it would be a pity to kill them.”

After pondering, Chen Ansheng asked, “Elder Ji, do you want me to capture them for your research?”

Ji Hongfu replied, “Exactly. However, merely injuring them and capturing them is out of the question; once they recover on their own, it will be detrimental to me.”

Chen Ansheng inquired, “Then what do you suggest, senior?”

Ji Hongfu replied without hesitation, “Your puppet technique is quite exquisite. Just use your soul sword to heavily injure their souls, and I will have my methods to help you gain control over them.”

Chen Ansheng slapped his forehead and exclaimed, “Why didn’t I think of that earlier!”

Ji Hongfu elaborated, “Even if you had thought of it before, it wouldn’t have worked. Those strange beings have unique souls, and without comprehending the True Injury law, your soul sword lacks the strength to truly injure their odd souls. Furthermore, your puppet technique isn’t one of the exotic law methods, so it would likely be ineffective against them.”

“I see.” Chen Ansheng nodded and said, “Then I’ll go suppress them first, and the rest will be guided by you, Elder Ji.”

“Yes, that’s excellent. Go ahead.”

With that, Ji Hongfu waved his hand, forming a spatial passage to send Chen Ansheng outside the barrier.

Boom boom!

Screech!

In the abyss, three strange beings roared wildly, continuously releasing purple light to attack the barrier.

At this moment, they were completely unaware of Chen Ansheng’s arrival.

Chen Ansheng did not waste time, directly condensing the soul sword in his sea of consciousness.

“Hey, take that!”

As his voice fell, a black soul sword shot out from his forehead, splitting into three, each piercing towards the three strange beings.

Sensing the danger, the three strange beings amplified their purple light, shattering space as they lunged toward Chen Ansheng.

The next moment.

The soul sword struck their heads.

But what shocked Chen Ansheng happened!

All three strange beings were hit by the soul sword, yet only one of them stopped, clutching its head and rolling about in pain.

The other two had blood light erupt from their foreheads and silently extinguished Chen Ansheng’s soul sword.

“There’s such a thing! Hahaha!”

Not only was Chen Ansheng astonished, Ji Hongfu, who monitored the situation with his soul thought, was equally both surprised and delighted.

Facing the two charging strange beings, Chen Ansheng felt no fear.

He focused the celestial power in his palm and pressed forward.

Space twisted and shattered instantly.

“Bang bang!”

With two explosive sounds, the two strange beings were directly sent flying by that terrifying palm, their chests caved in as purple blood gushed out continuously.

Feeling Chen Ansheng’s overwhelming power, the two strange beings gritted their teeth, trembling all over, caught in a state of both rage and fear!

“You know why your soul sword couldn’t injure those two strange beings, young friend Chen?” Ji Hongfu’s voice echoed in Chen Ansheng’s mind.

Chen Ansheng pondered for a moment before responding, “Those two strange beings had already been hit by my soul sword once; could it be… they have developed a defensive technique because of that?”

Ji Hongfu communicated, “You analyzed it correctly! These strange beings are bound by some very peculiar law; once they are severely injured, that law activates to help them quickly comprehend defensive techniques!”

Chen Ansheng was quite astonished, “That’s insane! They have such an ability, it’s incredible.”

Ji Hongfu laughed, “It’s not just you who is envious; I am as well. As soon as you manage to control them, I must carefully analyze the laws within these creatures to see if we can make use of them.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Ansheng’s heart leapt with joy.

If Elder Ji could understand the defensive capabilities, recovery abilities, and techniques to counter their powers, he would have struck it rich!
