Chapter 1425: The Death Training Space!

"Cough, cough, cough..."

"Ugh!"

In a hidden underground palace in the Tianlu World, Qin Tian first coughed violently, then spat out a large mouthful of blood.

"Damn it! I never expected to be caught in the crossfire and severely wounded by that damned Lord of the Jue Ming Palace. This is going to delay me for who knows how long!" Qin Tian said gloomily.

After sneaking into the Tianlu World, Qin Tian dared not move about openly like Ye Yuan.

Once discovered as an outsider, he would face pursuit from the entire Tianlu World.

Especially that mysterious Tianlu Divine Palace—no one knew how powerful it truly was.

He had lain low for a long time before finally finding an opportunity to encounter a lone Sacred Palace elder.

With Qin Tian's strength, as long as he didn't run into a Guixu-level expert from the Tianlu Divine Palace, he could basically roam the continent unchallenged.

So he struck down that elder with lightning speed, searched his soul, and learned everything about him.

After doing this, Qin Tian disguised himself as that elder, covered his face, and planned to infiltrate the Sacred Palace to use its power to investigate Ye Yuan's whereabouts.

Unexpectedly, halfway there, he was ambushed by an extremely formidable assassin!

This time, Qin Tian had the worst luck imaginable.

Although the assassin's realm was inferior to Qin Tian's, his skills in concealment and assassination were top-notch.

Striking by surprise, he severely wounded Qin Tian.

However, Qin Tian was, after all, a peerless genius of the Wumeng Royal City. Relying on his formidable strength, he managed to kill the assassin.

Searching the assassin's remnant soul, Qin Tian learned that the assassin's target was precisely that elder—he had taken a bullet for that old bastard!

The assassin's strength was not weak, and he had inflicted massive trauma on Qin Tian, making recovery in the short term impossible.

Yet from the assassin's remnant soul, he discovered that the assassin was the lord of an assassin organization called the Jue Ming Sacred Palace!

Because the opponent in this mission was too powerful, he had acted personally.

This made Qin Tian even more frustrated to the point of madness.

Wasn't this the classic case of dying before achieving glory?

With a sudden idea, Qin Tian decided to impersonate the Lord of the Jue Ming Palace and hide in the Jue Ming Sacred Palace, which would be safer.

Suddenly, someone requested an audience outside the secret chamber. Qin Tian forcibly suppressed his injuries and put on an air of profundity.

"My Lord, the matter you inquired about has been investigated! Recently, indeed a master named Ye Yuan has risen to fame. He even killed a Kuitian-level expert while at the Dongxuan Divine Realm, becoming a legend throughout the Tianlu World..." the subordinate said cautiously outside the door.

This palace lord was not known for his good temper; he often killed people at the slightest provocation.

Silence fell in the secret chamber, with no movement for a long time.

The subordinate did not know that the 'palace lord' was inwardly in turmoil!

Killing a Kuitian expert at the Dongxuan realm was something almost no one in the Tongtian Realm could achieve.

Ye Yuan had done it!

Although the overall strength of Kuitian martial artists in the Tianlu World was inferior to that in the Tongtian Realm, a Kuitian Divine Realm was still a Kuitian Divine Realm, far beyond what a Dongxuan realm martial artist could match.

"This guy's rise is unstoppable! If I don't kill him here, once he gets out, I'll never have another chance!" Qin Tian thought to himself.

Imitating the Lord of the Jue Ming Palace's voice, Qin Tian said coldly, "Spread a rumor that this Ye Yuan is an invader! Make sure it's done properly, so that all the Sacred Palaces know, and finally, let it reach the Tianlu Divine Palace. Understood?"

The subordinate's expression stiffened, and he quickly replied, "Yes, my lord, I understand!"

"Ugh!"

As soon as the subordinate left, Qin Tian couldn't help spitting out another mouthful of blood.

"This Lord of the Jue Ming Palace's stealth assassination technique is truly superb. He shook my heart meridian; without several years, I probably won't recover."

Qin Tian swallowed a pill to temporarily alleviate his injuries.

"This guy must have used some method to evade the eyes and ears of the Tianlu World's experts! But you probably never dreamed that I, Qin Tian, would infiltrate the Tianlu World, did you? Once the Tianlu Divine Palace comes for you, let's see how you can keep being arrogant! Ha... haha... cough, cough."

...

Ye Yuan indeed had no idea that Qin Tian had followed his footsteps to the Tianlu World.

At the Wumeng Academy, the tasks accepted by students were strictly confidential!

First, to protect the students' safety.

Second, to prevent the coordinates of the small world from being leaked.

Unless, with the tacit approval of the Wumeng City Lord or the Academy Head!

That Qin Tian had obtained the coordinates already spoke volumes.

Upon learning that the Divine Ruins would open in ten years, Ye Yuan entered seclusion.

Before leaving, Ye Yuan used his points and low-grade divine spirit stones to exchange for a large batch of first-tier spiritual herbs.

He refined these first-tier spiritual herbs into pills for cultivation.

Now, every time Ye Yuan advanced a minor realm, he consumed enormous resources—more than ten times that of others.

Fortunately, he was an alchemist himself; otherwise, he would have no hope of breaking through.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Yuan had been cultivating in the Town Boundary Stele space for ten years, and his realm had finally reached the peak of Dongxuan Great Perfection.

"Senior, I feel like I've touched the threshold of the Kuitian Divine Realm, but I still can't create the second layer of the 'Chaos Connecting Heaven Sutra'!" Ye Yuan lamented.

Given Ye Yuan's comprehension of the Heavenly Dao and his insights into the laws, breaking through to the Kuitian Divine Realm was only a matter of time.

He had just reached the peak of Dongxuan Great Perfection and already had a premonition, which was far better than most martial artists.

But the 'Chaos Connecting Heaven Sutra' was too heaven-defying; advancing further was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

If it weren't for this, Wuchen wouldn't have opposed Ye Yuan's self-created technique back then.

Wuchen sighed, "Dongxuan means perceiving the celestial mechanism, just a faint feeling. Kuitian means looking at the sky through a tube, glimpsing a corner of the Heavenly Dao. Others cultivate shallow techniques, so the corner they glimpse is naturally much smaller. But you need to glimpse too much and too vast a part of the Heavenly Dao. This step is a hundred times harder for you than for others!"

Ye Yuan said, "After my battle with that Kuitian expert last time, I gained some insights. But I don't know when that spark of opportunity will come."

Last time, Ye Yuan comprehended the Chaos Connecting Heaven Sutra by using the Dao of alchemy as an opening.

But this time, it wouldn't work.

Ye Yuan's alchemy was still only at the level of a one-star Divine Alchemist, unable to open the gap for the second layer.

Wuchen was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke, "You urgently need to improve your strength now. In that case, why not activate the Death Training Space of the Town Boundary Stele!"

Ye Yuan was startled, "Death Training Space?"

Wuchen nodded, "This was actually a martial inheritance that Xianlin intended to leave for his disciples, but this training space is too dangerous, so I never mentioned it to you. The Death Training Space can really kill people!"
