SSS-Rank 10x Reward System: Accepting Disciples to Live Forever Chapter 186: Great Dao Fortune (II)

Enough for now.

His thoughts shifted.

Both the All-Seeing Immortal and Demon Queen Zi Han had ntioned the Dragon Race Inheritance Ground. Yang Li had practically confird its existence. And the seven continents...

Seven dragons.

Seven corpses forming seven lands.

A faint glint appeared in Wang Chen’s eyes.

"What if there isn’t just one..."

His theory had grown more solid after Yang Li’s explanation.

What if there were seven entrances?

Seven inheritances.

Seven fragnts of a shattered legacy waiting for the right key.

To verify this, he would need to move.

"I should make a trip with Zi Han..."

Remaining in Ancient Sword City any longer would only waste ti.

With that thought, Wang Chen rose.

Returning to the Azure Dragon Continent felt almost nostalgic.

Compared to when I first ca here...

He almost laughed inwardly.

Back then, he had only just stepped into the early Golden Core Realm. Cautious. Calculating. Testing the waters of a larger world.

Now?

His Golden Core had evolved into the Eternal Fla Divine Core. His Nascent Soul had ford. Divine Sense had awakened.

He could stretch his perception across cities. He could manipulate spiritual space with terrifying precision. Even Grand Ascension Realm experts felt fragile before him.

His strength had leapt forward by a terrifying margin.

And yet—

Wang Chen’s expression did not relax.

"As for how strong I truly am..."

He genuinely did not know.

Against Grand Ascension cultivators? He was confident.

Against ordinary immortals? Perhaps manageable.

But those ancient gazes from yesterday...

Those were sothing else.

Beings who could observe through ti. Entities whose re awareness caused his soul to tremble.

Strength, he realized, was relative.

In the lower realm, he was already a monster.

In the greater sche of reality?

He might still be prey.

Wang Chen stepped forward. Space bent slightly around him, acknowledging his presence like a docile beast.

The Yun Family estate shrank beneath his Divine Sense.

Ancient Sword City spread out like a chessboard.

Far in the distance, invisible to ordinary cultivators, fate lines intertwined across continents like threads in a vast cosmic loom.

His eyes hardened.

"If there are truly seven inheritances..."

Then he would reach them first.

Not the Upper Realm immortals.

Not the Winged Race.

Not the hidden monsters lurking beyond ti.

Him.

And this ti—

He would not be the one reacting to events.

He would move before the board finished arranging itself.

But at least it should be enough to allow him to travel back to the Azure Dragon Continent, breaking the restriction set by the Spirit Locking Formation... right?

Wang Chen’s lips curved upward slightly.

The Spirit Locking Formation that enveloped the Soaring Dragon Continent had once felt like an insurmountable wall. When he first arrived, even attempting to pierce through it had caused subtle backlash. Space had resisted him like hardened steel.

Now?

He slowly circulated One Thought to Cross the World.

Spiritual force flowed like a quiet tide beneath his skin. His Nascent Soul shimred within the Garden of Eternity, and the Eternal Fla Divine Core radiated a steady golden brilliance. With every cycle of movent technique, space around him began to ripple.

He stepped forward.

Imdiately, he felt it.

A thin resistance, almost like pressing against a taut mbrane.

It was not a violent rejection. It was more like surface tension on still water. When an ant walks across water, the tension holds firm. No matter how much it struggles, it cannot pierce through. But a creature many tis stronger can shatter that sa tension without effort.

That was the difference.

Before, he had been the ant.

Now, he was the force pressing down.

He increased the output of spiritual energy. The Divine Sense wrapped around his body like a cocoon. The resistance layer trembled, then began to thin. Cracks spread across invisible space, not visible to the eye but clearly felt by his perception.

The mbrane dissolved.

The Spirit Locking Formation no longer held absolute authority over him.

A faint satisfaction flickered through his eyes. With his current realm, this level of restriction could not stop him anymore.

He was about to take the final step, to vanish into the void and reappear on the Azure Dragon Continent—

When sothing tugged at his awareness.

A faint disturbance.

Not outside.

Inside.

Within his spiritual space.

Wang Chen’s brows knitted together. The movent technique halted midway. He withdrew the spatial force and imdiately turned his consciousness inward.

For a mont, he thought sothing had gone wrong inside the Garden of Eternity. Perhaps instability from his breakthrough. Perhaps so fluctuation in the Nether Realm.

Then his expression changed.

Ni Lua.

"He’s finally waking up..."

Relief and curiosity intertwined.

For a while, Wang Chen had genuinely believed Ni Lua might never recover. The damage to his soul had been too severe. By the ti the Reincarnation Cycle was fully established, Ni Lua had already lingered at the brink of dissolution for far too long. Even with the Samsara Cleansing Pool and the Nether Monarch Soul Gathering Array, there were limits.

But now—

Wang Chen’s perception descended into the Nether Realm.

Cold, quiet darkness stretched beneath the blazing sun of the Eternal Fla above. The Nether Monarch Soul Gathering Array glowed faintly, its enormous circle pulsing like a living organism.

At its center floated a young soul.

The soul was translucent yet complete. No cracks. No fragntation. It hovered slightly above the ground, eyes open, expression confused as if waking from a long dream.

Wang Chen’s eyes narrowed.

Sothing was wrong.

Or perhaps... sothing was too right.

That soul...

A strange familiarity crept into his chest. It was not just recognition of Ni Lua. It was deeper than that. As if so thread of fate had brushed against him.

His heartbeat quickened.

He trusted his instincts more than logic.

That sense of familiarity was not coincidence.

Just as that thought ford, a system notification echoed inside his mind.

[Ding! Creature with Great Dao Fortune had successfully appeared in the Garden of Eternity! Click to see the stat window.]

Wang Chen’s pupils contracted.

Great Dao Fortune?

In the Garden of Eternity?

His gaze locked onto the floating soul within the Nether Monarch Soul Array.

The confusion on the young soul’s face slowly shifted into awareness.

And for the first ti since its awakening, its eyes lifted—

Directly toward him.
