371: Two Celestial Venerables, a conspiracy!

"Su Chen, just you wait. Forcing me to use a piece of Nine Heavens Profound Jade, I will make you repay it a hundredfold!"

His tone was chillingly cold, as if he wanted to devour someone.

"Second Brother!"

Suddenly, a serious voice rang out. Not far away, an old Daoist-like figure emerged, and upon realizing his situation, his expression became extremely solemn.

The young-looking man's face was incredibly gloomy:

"It's nothing. It seems we still underestimated our former Revered Master."

The old Daoist's expression immediately changed, knowing who the young man had been in contact with.

Su Chen!

The two of them were once members of the Divine Court, and were also known as two of the Three Pure Ones alongside Tongtian.

He was the Daode Heavenly Venerate, and the person opposite him was the Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate.

Both were once influential figures in the Divine Court, but before and after Su Chen, they successively chose to defect from the Divine Court.

After Breaking Through to the ancient god realm, the two of them noticed something strange about Su Chen at the time, but couldn't quite pinpoint it. After a long period of contact, they finally realized what was abnormal.

Unreal!

This was the problem.

Su Chen at that time gave them an unreal feeling, as if he didn't exist at all, with a somewhat illusory quality.

And there were two reasons for their betrayal of the Divine Court.

The first reason was Su Chen's identity, which was indeed too unbelievable. If they continued to follow the Divine Court, they would inevitably become enemies with the entire Immortal Realm in the future.

The other reason was that they wanted to steal Su Chen's Dao Fruit.

Time Dao Fruit!

So they had been frantically searching for the Profound Sky Realm all these years, but unfortunately, they never found it. However, Daode Heavenly Venerate had always retained a wisp of Su Chen's Karma.

This thing did not dissipate with the disappearance of the Divine Court, but remained.

Millions of years ago, he finally detected Su Chen's birth.

Normally, it would be impossible for Su Chen to reach such a Realm in such a short time, yet the reality far exceeded Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate's expectations.

Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate's face was grim.

Could Su Chen really have comprehended the Great Dao of Time?

Impossible, right?

Could such a Heaven-Defying Great Dao really be comprehended by a human?

To be honest, Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate didn't believe it, or rather, he dared not believe it.

After a long silence, he continued, "Big Brother, it seems we need to be more careful from now on. Our previous judgment of Su Chen might have been flawed."

"The Su Chen from countless years ago and the current Su Chen are very likely the same person."

"Impossible!"

Daode Heavenly Venerate immediately shouted, his face filled with disbelief.

If the Su Chen from countless years ago and the current Su Chen were the same person, wouldn't that mean he had already transcended the ancient god realm?

The future, the present, and the past—these three time points are fixed, and no one can interfere with them, not even them.

In the entire Immortal Realm, only some secret techniques tainted with the Great Dao of Time could slightly affect other times.

But for someone like Su Chen to freely travel through various time periods, how could that be possible? It's impossible.

Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate also looked utterly disbelieving, but he couldn't help but say in a low voice, "Big Brother, don't forget who he is!"

Upon hearing this.

Daode Heavenly Venerate's breathing hitched, but he quickly recovered. He took a deep breath, then said in a calm tone, "Don't worry, it won't happen."

"If Su Chen really had that ability to transcend time, he would have already overturned the Immortal Realm. Why would he let the Immortal Realm be in such a sorry state?"

"Most likely, it's just some secret technique tainted with time. The reason he is so powerful now is probably due to a contingency he left behind back then."

Hearing this, the panic on Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate's face slightly eased.

Listening to it this way, it seemed quite reasonable.

They could also do similar things now, such as sending a message to a time a hundred thousand years ago, telling him something, and then using that to influence the present outcome.

Of course.

They couldn't do things with too much Karma, otherwise, their main body would suffer a backlash, leading to endless troubles, and possibly even direct demise.

Just sending a message to their past self, if something went wrong, would be enough to cause their own demise.

From this point alone, one could see how terrifying it was to go against Time Karma.

So he also didn't quite believe that Su Chen could truly travel freely through time.

That kind of Realm was too terrifying.

If it were true, then the two of them could practically just wait for death.

Daode Heavenly Venerate continued, "Let's leave it at that for now. During this period, it's better not to interact with the Divine Court. This time was good luck; next time, we might not be so fortunate."

He didn't need to say it; Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate deeply felt it himself.

Even thinking about it now, he felt a chill down his spine.

If those Karmic forces really reached him, would Su Chen instantly descend and kill him?

He was also a follower of Su Chen, so he clearly knew that the other party was very powerful, and even his current self still didn't have much chance of winning.

Moreover, he felt that the current Su Chen was much stronger than the Su Chen from back then.

Taking a deep breath, Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate nodded.

Immediately after, their figures vanished together, as if they never existed in this world... On the other side.

Three Fires Realm.

"Revered Master, what happened to me?"

Xiao Yan's face held a hint of confusion, but he quickly regained his normal thoughts. He said with a somewhat solemn expression, "Who was that person?"

He knew that this time, his Revered Master had helped him again.

Su Chen stood with his hands behind his back. He didn't speak, only looked towards a certain direction, his eyes filled with cold killing intent.

The aura was unfamiliar, but from the other party, Su Chen sensed a somewhat familiar Karmic fluctuation.

It must be connected to the former Su Chen!

Daring to scheme against my Disciple, you are seeking death!

He wanted to continue pursuing, but the other party was merely a Clone, and had also used some secret technique to dissolve his Karmic power, making him impossible to find even if he wanted to.

Su Chen shook his head, then said indifferently, "It's nothing, just Cultivate well."

With that, he vanished from the spot.

Xiao Yan said nothing more upon hearing this. He bowed in the direction Su Chen left, then continued to sit cross-legged on the endless sea of fire to Cultivate, preparing to Breakthrough to the Great Emperor Realm.

Repeated encounters with powerful cultivators made his inner desire for power extremely strong.

He must become stronger!

Otherwise, he would encounter this situation again next time.

After Breaking Through to the Great Emperor Realm, he would at least have a firm foothold in the Immortal Realm. As long as he didn't encounter anything above an Immortal Emperor, and normally encountered an Immortal Emperor expert, even if he couldn't win, he could still escape.

Then he wouldn't always need his Revered Master's protection...
