"Senior Su... I failed to recognize your greatness with open eyes. I humbly ask for your forgiveness this ti. I promise I will never be an enemy to you again, and offer ten thousand spirit stones as an apology from my heart."
"Oh, quick to concede defeat, aren’t we?"
Su Xin sneered.
Though he spoke so, he relaxed his grip a bit and pursued with a question:
"High-grade spirit stones?"
Han Junhong looked bitter: "Senior Su, high-grade spirit stones are extrely rare and highly valuable. Even if you devour whole, I couldn’t produce that many high-grade spirit stones. I can only provide ten thousand low-grade spirit stones."
"Low-grade spirit stones? Ten thousand?"
Su Xin tightened his grip again, coldly saying:
"Is your life only worth so little?"
Han Junhong quickly spoke: "Senior Su, please calm your anger, please, I... I can offer twenty-five thousand spirit stones. This is my entire fortune. Please forgive my offense."
"Twenty-five thousand... Fine."
Su Xin generously released his hand.
He had heard that spirit stones could accelerate cultivation, but he had never used them before. He didn’t know if they held any value for him, but decided to seize so regardless.
Just a trial run.
Han Junhong fell to the ground, but paid no attention to his current sorry state, quickly saying:
"Senior Su, I have stored the spirit stones in my sect. Do you wish to accompany to retrieve them, or should I deliver them to you?"
Su Xin generously replied:
"You go back and fetch them; I’ll await your delivery."
Finishing his words, he asked again: "By the way, your Dharma Aspect was shattered earlier, can you still reform it now? Let take a look."
Han Junhong forced a smile:
"My Dharma Aspect exploded earlier, causing backlash, I am seriously injured internally. Reforming the Dharma Aspect... I can barely manage it, but it won’t be as strong as before, and it will worsen my injuries..."
"Let see."
"Senior Su, please wait a mont."
With that, Han Junhong pulled out a porcelain bottle from his pocket, poured out a blue pill, and swallowed it in one gulp.
After ditating to dissolve the healing pill, Han Junhong quickly reford his Golden Armor Profound King Dharma Aspect.
The Dharma Aspect now appeared much more illusory than before, its presence far less imposing than earlier.
Su Xin stepped forward, gently pressing a hand against the surface of the Dharma Aspect. Han Junhong didn’t understand his intentions, nor could he inquire, just standing there dumbly, letting Su Xin act.
"Life Talisman!"
Su Xin moved his mind, attempting to plant a Life Talisman within Han Junhong through the Dharma Aspect.
As expected, he failed.
"Indeed, it won’t work."
Su Xin’s heart sank sowhat.
Since the Life Talisman didn’t work, the Death Talisman certainly wouldn’t either. This ant that against the world’s true top-tier experts, he couldn’t easily kill them with a Death Talisman.
According to his knowledge, the martial arts masters of this world, especially those above the Dharma Realm, can materialize their True Qi.
The Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect of the Dharma Realm.
In higher realms, it’s possible to compress the Dharma Aspect into armor, or rely use True Qi to form tangible True Qi Armor.
Since the Dharma Aspect can block Life and Death Talismans, these True Qi Armors undoubtedly can too.
This ans one of his major trump cards is ineffective.
Unless he strikes when others are unprepared.
Concealnt Prayer, Self-Deception—he has several thods to silently approach others, and then, when the opponent hasn’t deployed True Qi Armor or Dharma Aspect protection, plant a Death Talisman...
Su Xin withdrew his hand, calmly saying:
"It’s fine now, you may leave. Rember to deliver the spirit stones promptly, or I will co to the Silent Heaven Sect to find you, and I won’t hold back then."
"Understood, Senior Su, since I promised, I’ll surely honor my word."
Speaking, Han Junhong dissolved his Dharma Aspect, cautiously glancing at Su Xin and tentatively asking:
"Then... may I leave now?"
Su Xin waved his hand, turning to depart.
Han Junhong turned quickly, leaving in a hurry, seemingly afraid Su Xin might change his mind and pursue him.
In the distance, two disciples of the Silent Heaven Sect were already stunned by the reversal of the battle, and witnessing Elder Han’s humbling plea left them even more stupefied and bewildered, entirely unable to connect the current Han Junhong with the high-and-mighty Elder Han in the sect.
At this mont, they saw Han Junhong turning back.
In an alard surprise, the two hurriedly lowered their heads, pretending not to know anything, following quietly behind Han Junhong without a word.
Suddenly, Han Junhong asked:
"How did the battle go earlier?"
The two were shocked, their minds montarily in disarray, not knowing how to respond.
They couldn’t possibly say, "Elder Han, you were beaten terribly, as miserable as a dead dog"—that’s courting death outright.
But they also couldn’t falsify reality, praising Elder Han’s unmatched prowess in defeating Su Xin, which isn’t flattery but mockery.
Fortunately, one of them was quick-witted, saying:
"That Su Xin is surely a Heaven-Reaching Realm Great Power; even a formidable elder like Elder Han with his invincible Dharma Aspect ended up regrettably defeated before him. It seems only superior sects have a chance of suppressing him."
Han Junhong nodded:
"True, that guy..."
Then he suddenly recalled sothing, hurriedly looking back, and seeing Su Xin’s figure had already vanished into the distance, he finally let out a sigh of relief, continuing in a composed manner:
"That guy must be a Heaven-Reaching Realm or even higher; no wonder he didn’t use his Dharma Aspect to defeat ... losing to such an inscrutable Great Power, it’s no sha."
The two quickly nodded in agreent:
"Indeed, that guy was too strong."
"Heaven-Reaching Realm, truly terrifying."
...
Small World.
After entering, Su Xin severed Han Junhong’s hair into countless fragnts, sealing them in a single plastic bag, leaving only a section in his hand.
Then he returned to Stealth State for cultivation.
The Illusion Body sent to the Otherworld continued its activity.
Three days later, having triggered Other-Transformation over ten tis, Su Xin sensed Han Junhong had finally returned to the Silent Heaven Sect.
He halted his cultivation imdiately.
With a thought, he left the Small World, entered the Otherworld, and followed the Life Talisman coordinates to fly toward the Silent Heaven Sect.
In Stealth State, Su Xin’s trace was utterly concealed from the outside world, devoid of air resistance, furthermore with tenfold ti acceleration, had nurous advantages, coupled with formidable telekinesis, making his speed exceedingly fast.
While Han Junhong took three days to travel, he reached them in re minutes.
Su Xin didn’t appear openly but flew directly into the opponent’s mountain gate, intending to first find the Silent Heaven Sect’s Scripture Pavilion to secretly learn the manuals.
However.
Upon entering the mountain gate, he sensed sothing amiss.
Not due to any danger, but...
"Why is the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi here completely different from outside? Why is it so dense?"
Su Xin looked puzzled.
Feeling sowhat speechless internally.
"Seriously... why didn’t anyone tell there’s such a thing as mystical realms in this world? Those books didn’t record anything about it either!"
"No wonder, I think, those ignorant fellows shouldn’t bother writing martial arts textbooks; it’s misleading newcors..."
Su Xin made powerless grumbles while utilizing the Environntal Imprint trait to perfectly imprint the Silent Heaven Sect’s environnt.
In his perception, the concentration of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within the Silent Heaven Sect was at least three tis that of the Wind-Cutting Sect.
All those martial arts classics he had read in the Wind-Cutting Sect never ntioned anything about mystical realms—perhaps it’s called differently in this world, but he hadn’t encountered any similar records.
Thus, he consistently ignored the possibility that ’certain places might have denser Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi’.
But now, it’s not too late to find out.
Su Xin ca here primarily because his cultivation was nearing a breakthrough, wanting to prepare suitable Life Acupoint Techniques in advance, planning to examine various major sects.
Yet now, having learned of the existence of mystical realms, he intended to directly visit those top sects, imprinting the best environnts.
He could also directly find the topmost cultivation techniques.
