280: Zhang Chu's situation upon entering the God Realm

The Next Day

Inside the Super Profound Space, the intensity of the vibrations was increasing. Near where Jiang Ye was, the surrounding mountains began to collapse!

Jiang Ye now stood in mid-air, looking like a deity, with spiritual power swirling around him and an overwhelming presence of Spiritual Qi. He had completely converted his Profound Energy into spiritual power, and his Realm had broken through to the first stage of the Quenching Spirit Realm.

But at this moment, Jiang Ye sensed that there was still quite a bit of scattered Spiritual Qi within the Super Profound Space. His original plan was to drain all the Spiritual Qi here, which was why he had driven everyone else out.

"Heh, this gathering of Spiritual Qi is just like the Malice Gathering technique of my World-Defying God Slaying Art—Spirit Gathering!"

The Spiritual Qi gathered rapidly like the wind, continuously merging into Jiang Ye's body.

Three Hours Later

Jiang Ye suddenly shouted, "Break!!" A powerful wave of spiritual power erupted.

Second stage of the Quenching Spirit Realm, third stage, fourth stage!!!

"Fourth stage of the Quenching Spirit Realm! It seems that to break through to higher Realms, I must go to the Divine Realm. The Spiritual Qi in the lower Realms is too thin; even breaking through the Quenching Spirit Realm is a major problem."

Jiang Ye looked at the mountains nearby that had collapsed due to the shock of his power. Next time he broke through, he would need a specialized training room, otherwise, the impact would be too great.

There was still one day left before the Super Profound Space closed, but staying here was now pointless. Jiang Ye exited directly and went to the entrance, where he saw the three strongest forces of the Spirit God Realm waiting.

Sect Master Huo Rong of the Divine Fire Sect, Lan Xiangyu, Sect Master of Nine Spirits Sect, and Alliance Leader Wu Fei of the Loose Cultivator Alliance—when these three saw Jiang Ye appear and felt the aura on him, they were all so shocked that their bodies turned cold. The aura radiating from him was exactly the same as the Divine Realm messenger they received every year!

Fire Qilin said, "Now that the man is out, whoever wants the spirit breaking liquid, go and ask him!"

Jiang Ye looked at the people from the Nine Spirits Sect and the Loose Cultivator Alliance; everyone's expression was a bit grim, and no one dared to step forward to speak.

Jiang Ye turned to look at Fire Qilin and said, "You've reached the fourth stage of the Spirit Profound Realm? Where did you find the spirit breaking liquid?"

"Ahem! That... let's talk about it when we get back." Fire Qilin felt a bit embarrassed. If Jiang Ye knew he had obtained it from two children, his title as Young Sect Master would seem a bit disgraceful.

Jiang Ye also noticed Wang Jian's Realm, which had also broken through inside. He was just curious about where they had found the spirit breaking liquid.

Suddenly, Sword South Autumn, the Divine Son of the Sword God Palace headquarters, stepped forward and said, "Jiang Ye, I hope you can share some of the spirit breaking liquid with everyone. Otherwise, in three months, when we reach the Divine Mine Site, we will all die there if our strength is insufficient."

"That is your own business. What does it have to do with me?"

Wu Fei also stepped forward and said loudly, "Jiang Ye, just detonate my Soul now! If I cannot break through to the Spirit Profound Realm, I will only be tortured to death at the Divine Mine Site. You might as well kill me sooner to save me from enduring that agonizing torture."

"Hmm? What do you mean? If you break through to the Spirit Profound Realm, you won't have to suffer torture there?"

"If one can break through to the Spirit Profound Realm, they will be taken to the Deathmatch Arena to duel others as tools for their entertainment. If one's talent is good and they break through to a Realm above the Spirit Profound Realm there, they might be chosen as a follower. This is the only way for people from lower Realms like us to survive in the Divine Realm. Those below the Spirit Profound Realm are immediately taken to the Divine Mine Site to mine Spirit Stones for them. The daily tasks are very heavy, and if they cannot be completed, one is brutally tortured. If they still cannot complete the tasks, they are tortured to death in public! I would rather die here than die from such subhuman, undignified torture."

At this moment, everyone looked at Jiang Ye, including the people from the Divine Fire Sect.

Seeing that Jiang Ye did not speak, Lan Xiangyu stepped forward and said, "What he said is true. Every five years, the Divine Realm messenger demands that the Teleportation Arrays of the three major forces each send fifty of the strongest youths up. However, we have never dared to reveal this secret to the outside world. That is why talented Disciples from small forces come to our three major forces seeking a way to the Divine Realm, thinking that going to the Divine Realm is such a wonderful thing."

At this point, Wu Fei and Huo Rong also walked over, as if everyone's grudges had been paused at this moment.

Huo Rong said, "None of us expected you to grow to such an extent. Now we see a glimmer of hope in you, hoping you can change this situation. Five years ago, my eldest son and Wu Fei's eldest son were forced to go to the Divine Realm, but two years ago, they were tortured to death by those Family Disciples! We couldn't even avenge our own sons, but if we don't accept their terms, even more people in the Divine Profound Continent will die."

Jiang Ye asked, "What force do they belong to?"

"Above the Nine Spirits Sect and the Loose Cultivator Alliance is a Family called the Xiao Family, and above our Divine Fire Sect is a Family called the Zhu Family. That Divine Mine Site is the territory of a force that governs those families. Those families must regularly send people there to mine Spirit Stones, so they find people from our Divine Profound Continent to send over."

Wu Fei said, "The people of our Divine Profound Continent are like livestock once they get there; they can torture us however they want! Those bastards of the Xiao Family set up two Teleportation Arrays in the Divine Profound Continent not only to send fifty of the strongest youths up but also to demand an additional fifty beautiful women for their pleasure."

Huo Rong said, "Three months from now is the day to send people up, which happens once every five years. I will leave the young Disciples of my Divine Fire Sect to your arrangement, hoping you can lead them to survive."

Lan Xiangyu said, "My Nine Spirits Sect Disciples will also follow your arrangements. I hope you can help them, considering we are all part of the Divine Profound Continent!"

Wu Fei said, "My Loose Cultivator Alliance is the same. If... one day your cultivation is successful and you are willing to avenge my son by killing everyone in the Xiao Family, my life, Wu Fei's, will be yours from then on!"

Jiang Ye thought for a moment and said, "Anyone confident in breaking through to at least the third stage of the Spirit Profound Realm within three months, step forward!"

"Huh?" Everyone was stunned, not knowing what he meant.

Fire Qilin was the first to step forward and said, "I'll go to avenge my big brother!"

"Count me in! The grudge of a murdered brother is irreconcilable! I believe you can lead us to establish a foothold in the Divine Realm." Wu Sheng was the second to step out, his eyes filled with determination!

Sword South Autumn also stepped forward and said, "I must also contribute my part for the Divine Profound Continent!"

"And me!" One by one, they stepped forward; these were all youths at or above the sixth stage of the Super Profound Realm.

Chu Yunduan, the Divine Son of the Illusion God Palace, also stepped forward and said, "Although my Illusion God Palace had some conflicts with you in the past, I won't be outdone by these people!"

Jiang Ye said loudly, "Good! In three months, the twenty of you will go with me to the Divine Realm. I will lead you to carve out a path of blood in the Divine Realm!"

Huo Rong asked in confusion, "Then what about the others?"

"There are no others, just these twenty! In a moment, they will go with me to the Vajra Gate's Gravity Training Ground for Secluded Cultivation to break through. In three months, they will fight alongside me in the Divine Realm. Since these two families are looking for people from our continent, I estimate their overall strength won't be that high. Before we set off, we will destroy one Family's Teleportation Array. After we reach the Divine Realm, we will first wipe out one Family, and then destroy all Teleportation Arrays leading here to prevent them from coming to the Divine Profound Continent again."

Lan Xiangyu asked, "Then how will you come back in the future?"

Wu Fei said, "Is that even a question? Once they are all powerful in the future, won't inscribing a Teleportation Array be simple?"

Jiang Ye said, "No time to lose! I hope everyone can break through to higher Realms after this seclusion. Let's go!"

And at that moment, three people appeared: two elderly men and a youth.

The youth said, "You ants, how bold! You dare to gather together to rebel!"
