333: For the sake of one man, billions of lives died!

After Uncle Zhuang entered the mountain forest, he followed the most concentrated sword marks.

At the end of the forest, by a cliff, Uncle Zhuang saw a disheveled man whose mask had shattered into two halves and fallen to the ground.

His face was covered in a full beard and etched with the marks of time, as he lay motionless on the ground, seemingly still battling and resisting the inner turmoil and entanglement within his heart.

“There’s a message from outside the Thatched Cottage, Third Master specifically asked me to bring it to Senior Tian Chen,” Uncle Zhuang said, then handed over the message and turned to leave.

The message floated beside Xuanyuan Heavenly Chen, and a wisp of Qi emanating from Xuanyuan Heavenly Chen touched it, causing the spiritual message to open directly.

It was Xuanyuan Tianhuan’s voice, speaking his last few words.

“Tian Chen, it wasn't until I was on the verge of death that I realized I had embarked on a path of no return.”

“I'm sorry, my son, and I have also harmed the Xuanyuan Ancient Clan.”

“Regarding what happened back then, even if I deeply regret it, it’s hard to make amends.”

“From this point on, the Xuanyuan Ancient Clan will cease to exist, but as long as you can live, I, Xuanyuan Tianhuan, will consider a sliver of regret to have been atoned for.”

“Tian Chen, live well, go and do what you truly wish to do, no longer bound by Karma. Looking back on my life, I realize how many mistakes I made. If there is a next life, I will definitely not live for the sake of the name Xuanyuan.”

“Tian Chen, goodbye.”

After these words fell, the spiritual message completely dissipated.

From birth to death, Xuanyuan Tianhuan ultimately left nothing behind.

And Xuanyuan Heavenly Chen, who was lying on the ground, heard Xuanyuan Tianhuan's words, and his cloudy eyes gradually became clear.

He slowly reached out his hand, gazing at his palm, and murmured, “To live for myself… my Sword Heart… is ultimately boundless.”

After comprehending this layer, a profound transformation occurred within Xuanyuan Heavenly Chen’s body, and a wisp of Immortal power flowed out from him.

He immediately sat up, a surge of Xuanyuan Sword Intent soaring to the Nine Heavens from him. As his state of mind became completely clear, no longer bound by anything that could restrict his Sword Heart, everything happened as if by natural progression. The power of heaven and earth within his body began to condense into a vortex.

It began to condense an Immortal Source directly in Xuanyuan Heavenly Chen’s Dantian!

Third Master stood atop that mountain Peak, his gaze fixed on the Xuanyuan Sword Intent that shot straight into the sky, and the gradually intensifying Immortal aura.

A smile appeared on his face.

All of this was within his calculations.

As the saying goes, 'He who tied the bell must untie it'.

Xuanyuan Heavenly Chen, who could be called the Yuan Realm’s number one Prodigy, with his personal talent, should have reached the Immortal Martial Realm after so many years of Cultivating.

However, he had been stuck at the Peak of Limitless Realm. The most crucial point was that Xuanyuan Tianhuan’s sword strike back then not only killed him but also allowed that father-son affection to bind Xuanyuan Heavenly Chen’s Sword Heart.

The more he struggled, the tighter the Sword Heart was bound, and the harder it was to break free.

Only this action could completely break Xuanyuan Heavenly Chen’s binding.

Xuanyuan Heavenly Chen, free from any bindings, his future performance and achievements would certainly not be inferior to the progenitor of the Xuanyuan Ancient Clan.

“For one person’s Opportunity, tens of billions of living beings die.”

“This Karmic evil is truly immense.”

Third Master looked up, a smile on the corner of his mouth, three parts mockery, seven parts disdain, as if ridiculing the Heavenly Dao’s incompetence.

Or perhaps, in his eyes, he didn't even consider the Yuan Realm Heavenly Dao.

The Dark Race’s ability to reappear in the world, coupled with the demise of the Xuanyuan Ancient Clan and Xuanyuan Tianhuan’s repentance, and all related Karma.

It certainly seemed to be Xuanyuan Tianhuan’s doing alone.

But in reality, there was a hidden hand behind the scenes, compelling Xuanyuan Tianhuan to act as he did.

In other words, the mastermind behind all of this, the culprit, was actually him, Shen Xuanji!

… … … …

A few days later.

Divine Continent Pure Land border.

Chu Yun’s Great Xia Imperial Dynasty finally arrived in the territory of the Divine Continent Pure Land.

And Mu Qianli had been waiting there for a long time.

Upon noticing her, Chu Yun immediately welcomed Mu Qianli in.

“Second Senior Sister, why are you here?”

Inside the Imperial Palace Hall.

Chu Yun, accompanied by several women, sat in the hall and asked Mu Qianli, full of curiosity.

Mu Qianli glanced at Chu Yun and the other women, a hint of surprise on her face: “Limitless?”

“Alright, each of you has quite a few secrets hidden away.”

Previously, Chu Yun still had three Limitless Realm cultivation cards.

After returning, Chu Yun had already decided on the recipients.

Meng Ruxue, Wan Lei, and Yang Bu, all three, had reached the First Heaven of the Limitless Realm with the help of Limitless Realm cultivation cards.

At this moment, the three women were all seated beside Chu Yun, and Qian Sha, whose cultivation was similar to Afuya’s, stood beside Chu Yun.

Mu Qianli’s gaze swept over them, including Chu Yun himself, all of whom were uniformly in the Limitless Realm, so it was no wonder she was surprised.

How long had it been since Chu Yun left the Thatched Cottage, and his cultivation had actually directly surpassed the Great Emperor Realm, becoming Limitless.

Mu Qianli immediately felt that for her Junior Brother, Breakthroughs in cultivation were as simple as eating and drinking.

“Second Senior Sister, everyone has their own Opportunity. Perhaps your Junior Brother is just luckier, hahaha,” Chu Yun chuckled, deflecting the question.

“Stop being glib, I wasn’t planning on digging for details,” Mu Qianli saw through his thoughts.

“Then Senior Sister, you still haven’t said? Why are you here? Shouldn’t you be at the Thatched Cottage?”

“Such a major event as the emergence of the Dark Race, didn’t the Senior Brothers discuss countermeasures with you?” Chu Yun asked, his face full of curiosity.

Although Chu Yun was on his way, his intelligence network, Xu Nian, could acquire information at a speed second only to the General Tower Masters of the Misty Rain Tower’s four main branches.

Before the Misty Rain Tower publicly announced the origins of the Dark Race, Xu Nian had already compiled a detailed report and sent it to Chu Yun.

It even included information about the Dark Omen that had not been publicly disclosed.

It could be said that Chu Yun was roughly aware of all the details Xuanyuan Tianhao knew.

In his opinion, if Su Xi had truly abandoned the Dark Omen out of love.

Then Xuanyuan’s betrayal and sealing of her entire clan for so many years.

If it were Chu Yun, he would certainly try every means to slaughter Xuanyuan’s Bloodline descendants.

Because this was not only being betrayed by the person she loved, but also implicating her entire clan!

As the clan leader, Su Xi bore immense pressure and suffering, which Xuanyuan completely disregarded, intent on eradicating the Dark Race.
