153: Chapter 153 The Rise of Widow Wang

This was because this elderly sorcerer was precisely a member of the team sent by Marquis Weiwu to investigate his son being ambushed. He had arrived this evening and was staying at Tianhua Inn.

Through the elderly sorcerer's memories,

he learned that sorcerers could sense each other.

However, there were distance limitations as well as cultivation limitations.

If the difference in cultivation was too great, a lower-Realm sorcerer would not be able to sense the Divine Soul Aura of a higher-Realm sorcerer.

The elderly sorcerer's cultivation was only at the Late Stage of Soul Condensation, but he had a disciple whose cultivation had reached the Early Stage of True Qi Condensation.

Currently, Chen Hu's cultivation had already reached the Middle Stage of the Dan Soul Realm.

As long as he deliberately restrained his Divine Soul Aura, even in close contact, this Master and disciple pair would not be able to sense that he was a sorcerer.

Secondly, there was the matter of casting spells.

Once he cast a spell, it would amplify his Divine Soul Aura.

At the same time, Chen Hu also learned a lot about the royal capital from the elderly sorcerer's memories.

For example, Marquis Weiwu, Wei Zhenjiang, had already reached the Middle Stage of Gang Refining in his cultivation Realm. Moreover, he also mastered the power of the military array.

Once he led the army and activated the military array, the only ones in the royal capital who could suppress him were the State Preceptor and the Director General of the Zhenwu Division.

Not only was this State Preceptor incredibly powerful, but she was also extremely mysterious.

The State Preceptor's cultivation Realm was already at the Late Stage of Qi Refining, with one foot having already stepped through the gates of a Hunyuan Martial Saint.

A Hunyuan Martial Saint was the absolute peak of martial arts.

However, no Hunyuan Martial Saint had been born for many years.

In addition to her martial arts cultivation, this State Preceptor was also a sorcerer, and her Realm was exceptionally high. The elderly sorcerer was certain that the State Preceptor's cultivation as a sorcerer had already surpassed the Dan Soul Realm.

But as for her exact Realm,

he, who was only at the Late Stage of Soul Condensation, was unable to judge.

The State Preceptor was a female and always wore a bronze mask.

Her appearance and age were both a mystery.

Some said the State Preceptor was born too beautiful, so she hid her face with the bronze mask.

There were also legends claiming she was too ugly, hence using the bronze mask to cover her face.

And the one who had broken his Soul Curse Technique was precisely this extremely mysterious State Preceptor.

Having one foot in the Realm of a Hunyuan Martial Saint, the State Preceptor was truly the number one expert in the Great Yong Kingdom.

Ranking second was the Director General of the Zhenwu Division, Director General Zhuge Rongrong.

Director General Zhuge Rongrong was a descendant of Marquis of Zhenwu.

Marquis of Zhenwu was also the founder and the first Director General of the Zhenwu Division.

Over all these years, the Zhenwu Division had produced dozens of Directors General.

But at least twenty terms had been held by members of the Zhuge Family.

It was said that Director General Zhuge Rongrong was not very old, only in her thirties.

Yet her cultivation had already reached the Late Stage of Qi Refining. Even if Marquis Weiwu utilized the power of the military array, he would still be no match for her.

It had to be said that although the elderly sorcerer's strength was mediocre,

he knew a great deal of information.

Therefore, Chen Hu went through all sixty-plus years of his memories.

After reverting to his original identity,

Chen Hu returned to his own form, still savoring the old sorcerer's memories.

After a moment,

he took out a connection card and activated it, obtaining a D-grade connection.

He decisively gave it up.

He took out a treasure hunting card.

He secured a new treasure location.

Next, he took out an enlightenment card and used it, targeting Version 2.0 of the "Divine Blade Nine Styles".

Then, his Incarnation became a child and entered the cultivation world, bitterly training in Version 2.0 of the "Divine Blade Nine Styles" under his Master's guidance.

It was even faster this time.

It took only three months.

He had cultivated Version 2.0 of the "Divine Blade Nine Styles" to Perfection.

After being kicked out of the cultivation world and fusing his cultivation memories, Chen Hu completely mastered Version 2.0 of the "Divine Blade Nine Styles".

He took out a martial arts cultivation card

and chose to activate it.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 100 days of cultivation!"

"Not bad!"

Chen Hu nodded in satisfaction and chose to use it.

After replenishing the consumed internal Qi within his bone apertures, the remaining cultivation directly turned into fuel, accelerating the tempering of his bone marrow.

A brief moment later,

the tempering ended, and the progress of Chen Hu's second marrow tempering directly reached thirty-five percent.

In other words, it had increased by twenty-three percent.

If he could draw 100 days of cultivation every day for the next three days,

then his second marrow tempering would be complete, and his cultivation would naturally break through to Late Stage Marrow Refining.

Next, Chen Hu took out a cultivation multiplier card

and chose to activate it,

obtaining a tenfold cultivation effect.

This time, instead of taking a soul nourishing pill, he chose to consume the heaven soul grass.

He took out the heaven soul grass, put it in his mouth, chewed, and swallowed. The taste was slightly bitter.

But as the medicinal potency erupted immediately after, Chen Hu was pleasantly surprised to find that the efficacy of this heaven soul grass was more than ten times stronger than that of a soul-nourishing pill.

He immediately circulated the "Spirit Refining Art" to digest and absorb it.

Two hours later,

the feedback from the tenfold cultivation effect arrived.

A massive surge of pure Soul Power, which was exceptionally compatible with him, poured into Chen Hu's Divine Soul.

After being absorbed by his soul core, the core couldn't help but rapidly expand.

After a long while,

the shackles of his Divine Soul were shattered, and Chen Hu's Divine Soul Realm directly reached the Late Stage of the Dan Soul Realm.

Moreover, it was not the kind that had just entered the Late Stage, but an established one that felt as if it had stayed in the Late Stage of the Dan Soul Realm for a long time.

If nothing unexpected happened, after tomorrow, Chen Hu's Divine Soul Realm would be able to directly step into the Primordial Spirit Realm.

After his Realm broke through,

the power and range of Chen Hu's Spiritual Sense both skyrocketed.

Its coverage directly reached a radius of ten thousand meters.

"Awesome!"

Chen Hu couldn't help but pump his fist hard.

The next moment,

Chen Hu executed the Earth Escape Divine Ability and vanished from the study.

Soon,

Chen Hu arrived beneath Tianhua Inn via the Earth Escape Divine Ability.

Sweeping with his Spiritual Sense, he directly locked onto a fat man in a Heaven-class room on the second floor.

The other party's blood vitality was so incredibly dense that it seemed almost solid,

shining as brightly as the rising sun.

Nevertheless, Chen Hu still used the Eye of Insight to confirm his identity.

Indeed, this person was precisely Fan Jun, the current Pavilion Master of the Wei Family's intelligence organization, the Wanyan Pavilion.

With a thought,

a Sticky Card appeared in Chen Hu's hand.

He silently chanted to lock on.

In an instant, the Sticky Card locked onto Fan Jun.

Inside the room, Fan Jun, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed cultivating, suddenly felt a wave of inexplicable irritability in his heart.

"Stick away his cultivation!"

Chen Hu commanded once more.

Within the span of a breath, Fan Jun's entire cultivation and the Martial Skills he mastered were all stuck away by the Sticky Card.

"How... how could this be?"

Fan Jun discovered in terror that not only had his entire cultivation vanished, but even the Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills he practiced were completely gone—he had even lost his memories of those techniques and skills.

"Hehe, got it!"

Chen Hu smiled slightly and immediately used the Earth Escape Divine Ability to leave.

As long as he used this Sticky Card on someone, he would gain another subordinate in the Blood Refining Realm.

"But who should I use it on?"

Several names flashed through his mind.

After a slight hesitation, he decided to use it on Widow Wang. However, before doing so, he had to use a loyalty card on her first.

Although Widow Wang's favorability toward him had already exceeded ninety,

as long as it wasn't one hundred percent, there was always a possibility of betrayal.

He didn't want to gamble on that.

With this in mind,

Chen Hu simply headed straight for Widow Wang's home.

Soon, Chen Hu arrived.

He took out the loyalty card and used it on Widow Wang.

Her loyalty immediately reached one hundred points.

Then, Chen Hu took out a barrier card and enveloped her room with it.

Seeing Chen Hu suddenly appear in her room,

"Brother Hu, why are you here?"

Chen Hu smiled. "I have something good for you."

As he spoke, Chen Hu took out the Sticky Card and slapped it onto Widow Wang's back.

Her cultivation then began to rise at a visible speed.

At the same time, her Aura erupted uncontrollably.

Fortunately, with the barrier enveloping the room, her Aura was confined solely to this house.

A brief moment later,

Widow Wang's Aura retracted back into her body, but her strength had reached the Early Stage of the Blood Refining Realm.
