228: Searching for relatives

"Usage successful!"

"Peak Profound Immortal... Early Stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal... Late Stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal... Perfection Grand Unity Golden Immortal."

Just then, the notification sound in his mind came to an abrupt halt.

Huh?

That's it?

Su Chen was stunned. Five billion years of cultivation only allowed him to Breakthrough from Late Stage Profound Immortal to Perfection Grand Unity Golden Immortal?

At this rate, the amount of cultivation needed later on would be astronomical.

"Golden Immortal!"

Su Chen slowly opened his eyes. He slightly circulated the cultivation within his body, and a terrifyingly oppressive force instantly swept out, enveloping the entire Chixiao Empire.

Countless people looked on in terror.

However, it was only for a moment before the aura vanished completely. Only after sensing the aura disappear did their expressions return to normal.

There were many experts in the Immortal Realm; it might have just been someone passing by.

"Use ten billion years of cultivation!"

With a thought from Su Chen, the cultivation within his body rose once again.

"Early Stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal... Middle Stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal..."

This time, Su Chen's cultivation increased even less. Ten billion years of cultivation only brought him to the Middle Stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm.

"Use fifty billion years of cultivation."

"Late Stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal... Perfection Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal... Early Stage Immortal King."

*Hiss!*

Fifty billion years of cultivation only raised him by three minor Realms?

However, the Immortal King Realm was already extremely powerful. In the entire Canglan Realm, an Immortal King should be considered one of the strongest Cultivators, right?

He had read in records that the major powers controlling the Canglan Realm were all at the Immortal King Realm.

Among the Thirty-Six Worlds, the Canglan Realm's strength was ranked in the bottom ten.

Upon entering the Immortal Realm through the Heaven-Ascending Gate, one would be teleported to a weaker world and a weaker region within that world.

From this, he could deduce which world the members of the Su Family were in.

After pondering for a moment, Su Chen used his cultivation again.

Although an Immortal King was strong, it wasn't enough.

Besides, he still had about 270 billion years of cultivation left. Why leave it there if he wasn't going to use it?

"Use fifty billion years of cultivation!"

"Middle Stage Immortal King... Late Stage Immortal King... Peak Immortal King."

This time, fifty billion years of cultivation only brought him to the Peak Immortal King Realm.

"So slow?"

Su Chen fell silent. He had thought that using this much cultivation would at least make him a titan in the Immortal Realm, but now it seemed he was still a bit short and could only become a titan of the Canglan Realm.

"Use cultivation!"

Su Chen used all his remaining cultivation at once. His strength began to climb rapidly again, with over a hundred billion years of cultivation in total.

"Early Stage Immortal Lord... Middle Stage Immortal Lord... Late Stage Immortal Lord... Early Stage Immortal Venerable... Middle Stage Immortal Venerable... Late Stage Immortal Venerable... Peak Immortal Venerable... Half-step Immortal Emperor!"

In an instant, a terrifyingly powerful aura was released.

Su Chen was startled and quickly set the System to shield his aura fluctuations.

Half-step Immortal Emperor!

Although he wasn't a true Immortal Emperor, even so, he was a powerhouse in the entire Immortal Realm.

Immortal Emperor level experts only existed in the top ten worlds of the Immortal Realm, and they were all top-tier powerhouses.

The birth of such an expert would definitely attract the attention of others.

Therefore, to be cautious, Su Chen did not high-profilely display his cultivation.

Su Chen looked down at the Small Immortal-Slaying Sword Array on the back of his hand, a solemn look flashing in his eyes:

"Even as a Half-step Immortal Emperor, I still can't see through it?"

His current cultivation was already extremely terrifying, but even so, he still couldn't see the origins of the Small Immortal-Slaying Sword Array in his hand.

In an instant, purple qi flashed through his eyes, and his pupils turned deep purple.

When he activated the Grandmist Eye and looked at the back of his hand again, he found that the Small Immortal-Slaying Sword Array simply didn't exist.

This is... the power of Karma!?

Su Chen's eyes narrowed, his heart shaking.

The energy of this Small Immortal-Slaying Sword Array seemed to be carried by the power of Karma.

But the power of Karma is not a rootless weed; it has a cause.

Karma—there is a cause, then there is an effect.

Without a cause, there is no effect; conversely, without an effect, there is naturally no cause. Thus, cause and effect must be mutually generated.

But Su Chen had never even come into contact with the Sect Leader Tongtian, so where did the cause come from?

Even if there really was Karma, it should only be generated after he used the Small Immortal-Slaying Sword Array. So how was this power of Karma generated and attached to him?

If that's the case...

Su Chen's pupils suddenly constricted.

Could it be that Karma has already been established with the Sect Leader Tongtian?

But he was certain that such a thing couldn't have already happened.

Could it be... something that has already happened in the future?

*Hiss!*

If that's really the case, then things have become interesting.

Time and Karma—those who can involve themselves in these are all heaven-defying powerhouses.

Forget it, none of that matters for now.

Let's not talk about future matters for now and solve the problems at hand first.

The most important thing right now is to find everyone from the Su Family.

"Blood-Seeking Technique!"

Su Chen formed hand seals, and the aura of his Bloodline immediately transmitted out, continuously spreading outward.

This was a secret technique for detecting Bloodlines, and it was also an Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique that Su Chen had practiced out of boredom while in the Xuantian Realm.

With his current strength as a Half-step Immortal Emperor, his detection could basically cover the entire Canglan Realm.

In an instant, he detected many auras of the Su Family Bloodline.

"Found them!"

Many members of the Su Family were in the Canglan Realm, and some of them had very dense Bloodlines. They should be of a similar generation to him, or perhaps even Su Qingtian and the others.

"There's one within the territory of the Chixiao Empire... wait... isn't there one right here in Chasing Immortal City?"

Su Chen directed his Divine Sense toward a massive city a thousand miles away.

In terms of scale, this city could almost rival Wangyun City, yet it was merely a third-rate city within the Chixiao Empire.

As expected of the Immortal Realm!

But why weren't these people gathered together? Instead, they were scattered in all directions.

But thinking of the spatial turbulence that appeared when he ascended, Su Chen felt slightly relieved.

Perhaps they had also encountered some mishap.

Excluding the last 200,000 years, Su Chen had left a Magic Treasure for those who ascended before that to contact each other.

This treasure was also of the Immortal Rank. As long as they were in the same world, they should definitely be able to contact each other.

"Forget it, I'll know once I find them and ask."

In the next moment, Su Chen disappeared from the spot.

...

Chasing Immortal City.

Zhao Family!

"Su Geng, if you don't make it clear where the item went today, this young master will definitely deal with you according to the family rules."

A young man of extraordinary bearing roared with a face full of coldness.

The person opposite him was none other than Su Geng of the Su Family. This person had ascended to the Immortal Realm 300,000 years after Su Qingtian and the others.

In terms of seniority, Su Chen was his Old Ancestor.

At this moment, he was tied to the ground with a golden silk rope, his face filled with rage.

"Dammit, Zhao Yu! I have never betrayed the Zhao Family, and I didn't steal the item. You are slandering me."

"Old Master Zhao saved my life and even made me a Guest Elder of the Zhao Family. How could I possibly do such a thing?"
