Chapter 675: Chapter 440 Breakthrough! Shock! (Author’s Note)_2
For so reason, as Chen Yuan slashed out at the Buddha’s Dharma Image, he too felt a trace of trance, as if this scene would occur again on so future day.
The old master of Qingyun Temple curled his lips into a faint smile and nodded slightly, murmuring:
“All Living Beings’ Mind Power, Japan’s Power of National Fortune, Buddhist…”
“The karma on this lad is getting heavier. I wonder if he will be able to continue to grow.”
“Great turmoil in the human world, a disaster for the common people….”
“Impossible, impossible!”
Ito Ikeda muttered to himself incredulously at the scene.
How could Chen Yuan possibly have gotten through the Suru Illusion Realm, which contained part of Japan’s Power of National Fortune!
The trial he faced was the most difficult kind.
And yet, he really made it through.
Not only did he get through, but he also… shattered the Suru Illusion Realm.
This was the heart and soul of the three major families of Japan for a hundred years, and now it was smashed to pieces in an instant. He had no idea how he was going to explain it to the Japan Martial Artists when he returned ho.
What was even harder to accept was his father, Ito Shinsei.
This initiation of the Suru Illusion Realm challenge against the experts of Central Plains had involved a lot of planning, and everything had been going smoothly before this, but it all failed with Chen Yuan.
He, a Dan Realm Master, had actually shattered the Exotic Treasure that was the Suru Illusion Realm.
The power that carried the Power of All Living Beings, even without firsthand experience, instilled a sense of fear that was shockingly indescribable.
The rumbling noise lasted a long ti, for more than thirty breaths.
In that period of over thirty breaths, every person present held different thoughts; so felt ti was passing slowly, so felt it was fast, as if in an instant.
Others, shocked, regained their composure.
Constantly watching the void, wondering why Chen, the Green Envoy, hadn’t appeared yet.
Indeed, after the explosion, Chen Yuan’s figure was also obscured, like a layer of fog, making it hard to see clearly.
It wasn’t until tens of breaths later, when the effects of the explosion gradually dissipated, that Chen Yuan finally revealed his true body, his clothes sowhat tattered.
So of his robust muscles were exposed, glistening under the sunlight.
At that mont, he was the center of attention.
All eyes were on him, with the vast majority admiring him, admiring Chen Yuan for achieving such a feat, restoring the pride of Central Plains Martial Artists.
However, there was also a small group of people who bore grudges against Chen Yuan and were displeased with him.
Resenting that Chen Yuan didn’t die in the Suru Illusion Realm.
That was normal, after all, so people just can’t stand to see others do well…
“Phew…”
Chen Yuan took a deep breath.
This ti, it was truly dangerous.
In every one of these three trials, the slightest oversight could have had him trapped and completely lost, even more difficult than his Core Formation experience.
Had Jingtai not personally insisted, he would certainly not have taken the risk.
Of course, Chen Yuan did not co away empty-handed.
Indeed, Ito Shinsei was right about one thing, the Suru Illusion Realm was ant to refine one’s mind. Chen Yuan had passed through, and he did receive quite a few benefits, though these were implicit.
Only in the future, as his Cultivation deepened, could these gradually beco apparent.
The first trial brought out the deepest desires within Chen Yuan’s heart, tempting him to succumb completely. He restrained himself, followed his heart, and kept his beliefs.
The second trial, the battle of false bodies, was arduous but provided imnse help, truly a worthy opponent.
Through this trial, he achieved enlightennt.
Casting aside distractions, focusing solely on the mont, he fully integrated his spirit into his Martial Arts moves. From then on, he could move without thought, even achieving dual focus.
Each move was like the elusive antelope horn, unpredictable.
And the help offered by the most important third trial was even greater.
This was the fear within his heart.
Just a hint of fear was enough to spiral out of control, the strange demon with eight heads exemplified this, as did the gilded Buddha looking down on the human world.
The adversary sought to make him retreat.
But he would rather die than retreat.
On the path to the peak of Martial Arts, it was like rowing upstream—if you retreat, all previous efforts are for naught. His belief was to press forward with courage!
Let no man, no affair, think of making him step back.
Neither Buddha nor demon, emperor nor anyone else shall judge him.
Even faced with heaven, he intended to outdo the demigods!
In this life, he feared nothing!
Of course, there was also the most important Power of All Living Beings; that force imposed upon him gave Chen Yuan a mont of invincible belief at the mont he drew his blade.
Under this cut, anyone would bow down completely.
It was the power of the masses.
Regrettably, these powers were ultimately rootless driftwood, or rather, powers not gained through one’s Cultivation were akin to rootless driftwood—able to be possessed but also stripped away.
Therefore, he was not attached.
He treated it as a goal, determined to possess such terrifying power in the future.
And then there was the Civilian Umbrella.
Chen Yuan looked down at the torn Civilian Umbrella in his hands, taking another deep breath.
This object was woven by the grateful civilians of Tangshan Prefecture to acknowledge his kindness, yet he never valued it much, simply tossing it into the Heavenly Book.
Moreover, he didn’t feel entirely justified in having it.
His motive had never been about improving the common people’s lives; it was just sothing he did along the way, and his intentions were never aligned that way. But today… this unremarkable thing saved him.
It bore the Power of All Living Beings for him, it’s just a pity that the material was too ordinary. Now, it had shattered significantly.
