682: Su Chen, Chen Tian

Ancestor Wu thought carefully for a long time, and finally sorted out the memories in her mind, though she seemed somewhat reluctant to speak of them.

"In my memory, I don't have many recollections regarding the name Su Chen, but I remember something crucial. Su Chen doesn't seem to be called Su Chen, but rather... Chen Tian."

"Was the name Su Chen used by that person while traveling the world?"

"Who is that person?" Su Chen took a step forward, his eyes filled with urgency.

Ancestor Wu fell back into thought, her brow furrowed; she seemed to have a clue, yet she couldn't recall it no matter what.

"Speak!"

Su Chen couldn't help but let out a roar.

Ancestor Wu was startled, then quickly spoke: "I don't know, I can't remember, but Chen Tian is related to the Zhangtian Pavilion."

Su Chen took a deep breath, calming his emotions.

"What is the Zhangtian Pavilion?"

"In our Primordial Era, there was a saying about the Seven Pavilions. These Seven Pavilions were also the most powerful forces, each containing countless gods and demons. Among them, the Zhangtian Pavilion's strength could rank in the top three, making it one of the most powerful existences in the entire Primordial World."

"And Chen Tian... seems to be the Lord of the Zhangtian Pavilion."

"No, if Chen Tian is the Lord of the Zhangtian Pavilion, then who is Su Chen? Isn't Su Chen just Chen Tian? Something must have gone wrong. Where exactly is the problem?"

Ancestor Wu suddenly began talking to herself. For a moment, she couldn't figure out the situation; the chaotic memories in her mind left her feeling somewhat lost.

What on earth is the situation!!

"Enough!"

Su Chen suddenly interrupted her, looking at Ancestor Wu with calm eyes: "That's enough for now. We can talk about more information after your cultivation has recovered."

As he spoke, he looked toward the sky. Through the Void Realm, he saw the power of the curse condensing there, at least ten times more terrifying than the power of the curse that had previously possessed Ancestor Wu.

If he allowed Ancestor Wu to continue speaking, he likely wouldn't be able to save her this time.

Unless he revealed his identity right now.

It seems... I really am a Taboo.

Su Chen narrowed his eyes; it seemed his identity was indeed very important.

Ancestor Wu stopped speaking, yet the power of the curse did not dissipate. Instead, it condensed outside the Cloud Firmament Realm, as if searching for something.

This matter... is indeed a bit difficult to handle.

This curse is targeted at me, which means if Ancestor Wu speaks of my identity, it might cause the power of the curse to descend.

Of course, the worst-case scenario is that as long as Ancestor Wu remembers who I am, she might be cursed.

After all, these are the 'Rules'.

Su Chen felt the latter possibility was very high.

Now, if he wanted to know his identity, only Ancestor Wu could tell him. If Ancestor Wu died, he might never know his identity.

His expression gradually darkened.

Suddenly, Su Chen thought of something and pulled a card from his hand. He had forgotten that there were also item-type things within the System.

Shielding Card!

It will mask all of one's aura, with a maximum duration of one thousand years.

Items produced by the System should be above the 'Rules', right?

Su Chen activated the item card and then looked solemnly at the power of the curse outside the Cloud Firmament Realm. After the Shielding Card took effect, the power of the curse immediately dissipated into nothingness.

It works!

Su Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief. If even items produced by the System couldn't resolve this, then Ancestor Wu would have been certainly doomed to die.

Of course, one couldn't say she was definitely going to die.

Because essentially, she wouldn't die, but would instead infinitely experience Reincarnation and life and death, never able to stop for all eternity.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Chen told her the truth.

"You were just targeted by the power of the curse."

When Ancestor Wu heard this, her face was immediately filled with fear, and her entire body trembled slightly. Her eyes were full of terror.

"Save me!"

After this revival, the memories of every previous death flooded into her mind. She felt utterly desperate and helpless, never wanting to experience such things again.

She didn't want to keep dying and living again; it was simply too painful.

As Ancestor Wu spoke, her eyes grew slightly red, looking as if she were about to cry. Coupled with her exquisite beauty, she looked quite pitiable.

Su Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have already resolved this matter."

"However, you can no longer leave this place. I will come once every thousand years. It seems that you being targeted by the power of the curse is because you remembered me."

Hearing that she wouldn't have to die again, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although being sealed here was dull, as long as she didn't have to die, she could endure this bit of discomfort.

"Thank you."

Ancestor Wu sobbed twice.

Su Chen shook his head. "It's just mutual aid."

This time he had learned quite a bit of information: he had another name called Chen Tian and was the Master of the Zhangtian Pavilion. Although the current Immortal Realm had already disappeared, at least he knew some information now.

Now he just needed to wait for Ancestor Wu to recover her strength.

He still had over ten thousand Shielding Cards. One Shielding Card lasted a thousand years, so there would be no problem for ten million years.

Plus, within these ten million years, he could still pull more... Su Chen's thoughts came to an abrupt halt. He immediately looked toward Ancestor Wu. Why must he use the Shielding Card?

If he directly put her into the Xuanhuang Realm, would the power of the curse still be able to track her?

Strictly speaking, his Xuanhuang Realm was also produced by the System, a separate world independent of this one. It shouldn't be affected by the influences of this world, right?

It seemed that might actually work.

Thinking this, Su Chen walked toward Ancestor Wu and waved his hand.

The next moment, the three of them disappeared from the cave.

When their vision returned, they had arrived in a forest outside a city. Currently, almost half of the Xuanhuang Realm was controlled by the Great Qian Empire.

Li Shishan had already achieved a Breakthrough to the Immortal Realm, becoming a top-tier powerhouse within the Xuanhuang Realm.

Su Chen ignored the startled looks of the two people beside him. He looked around and did not perceive the presence of the power of the curse.

"Try lifting the Seal."

His tone brooked no argument, showing no intention of negotiating with Ancestor Wu.

Ancestor Wu pouted, her face showing some worry, but in the end, she obediently did as she was told.

When the Seal was lifted, Su Chen still did not sense the power of the curse appearing.

Immediately after.

Su Chen removed the shielding effect from her, and still, no power of the curse appeared. It seemed the Xuanhuang Realm was indeed unaffected by the outside world...
