Chapter 245 The Northern Mang Uprising

Yan Chu had the cultivation base of the Wind, Cloud, and Frost Absolutes as a foundation, yet after obtaining the Hun Tian Four Absolutes, it only reached the Minor Achievement level, which showed just how powerful this Martial Skill from the System was.

Moreover, Minor Achievement required 100,000 experience points, a qualitative difference compared to previous Martial Skills.

More importantly, there were no flaws, so Yan Chu could use it with peace of mind.

"Consume 100,000 experience points to upgrade Hun Tian Four Absolutes to Major Achievement!"

As the words fell, a massive amount of cultivation experience surged into his mind. It was as if black holes appeared around his body, wantonly absorbing the natural forces of the four elements of heaven and earth, storing them within his acupoints.

【Martial Skill: Hun Tian Four Absolutes (Major Achievement 45330/200000)】

【Experience Points: 350000】

"Not enough! Still not enough!"

Yan Chu could feel himself becoming incomparably powerful.

Even without opening the Spiritual Divine Treasury, relying solely on his Ninth Realm cultivation, he could likely challenge a Heaven-Man while wielding the Hun Tian Four Absolutes.

After opening the Qi Sea Divine Treasury, driving the Hun Tian Four Absolutes would make it difficult to find an opponent within the Heaven-Man Realm.

"Consume all experience points to upgrade the Hun Tian Four Absolutes!"

Boom!

This time, even more experience flooded in.

Yan Chu absorbed it frantically, feeling himself becoming incredibly powerful. As long as he wished, he could instantly drain the power of fire, thunder, wind, and rain within a hundred-mile radius. Once released, it would surely be earth-shattering.

But he did not do so, as this would certainly attract the attention of everyone.

He could faintly sense that there were some old monsters hidden in the Central Plains for many years. Even he felt a sense of oppression from them; they were very likely people who had opened two or even three Divine Treasuries.

【Martial Skill: Hun Tian Four Absolutes (subtle realm 195330/400000)】

Whoosh!

Yan Chu opened his eyes abruptly, a flash of lightning and fire flickering deep within his gaze.

"I need experience! More experience!"

Yan Chu could tangibly feel his current strength, but precisely because of this, he became even more eager for experience points.

Originally, he had planned to lay low here for a while.

But now, he did not intend to wait!

With his current strength, even if someone who had opened two Divine Treasuries arrived, Yan Chu had the confidence to fight!

"Yan Chu!"

At this moment, the Empress Dowager's attendant had already returned to Red Leaf Villa and appeared outside the main hall, just in time to see the cold, sharp look in Yan Chu's eyes.

"What is wrong with you?"

Luo Jin was dressed in a green palace gown, her skin fair and smooth at the collar. The power that had just flashed through Yan Chu's eyes had startled her, and she looked at him with slightly narrowed beautiful eyes.

"Nothing."

Yan Chu smiled slightly, his aura fully restrained, looking just like an ordinary person.

Just a moment ago, the Empress Dowager was here, and under her peerless beauty, everything else paled in comparison.

Now that the Empress Dowager had left, Luo Jin stood gracefully at the door, with the red-leafed mountains behind her and the continuous snow-capped mountains further away. The beauty and the scenery complemented each other, making the scene much more refreshing than the monotonous view.

"Why are you looking at me?"

Not knowing what she remembered, a blush appeared on Luo Jin's iceberg-like face.

Yan Chu was a bit curious. We only just met, why are you blushing?

"I want to know news about the Red Sleeve Beckon. Do you have any here?"

Luo Jin's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said:

"What do you want to do? Her Majesty told you to stay in the villa for these few days!"

Yan Chu waved his hand and said:

"You don't need to worry about that. Just give me the news about the Red Sleeve Beckon, and I won't delay the departure in a few days."

Luo Jin was silent for a moment, looking deeply at Yan Chu,

"I know a few strongholds of the Red Sleeve Beckon, but I will report all your movements to Her Majesty."

"Fine!"

...

...

Yan Chu's battle with Old Man Bu Sha, although few people watched, the news inevitably leaked out.

At first, it only circulated among the top noble families in the capital.

Later, it spread to the various powers in the Jianghu, and finally, the whole world knew.

The whole world was in an uproar!

This battle, which had very few spectators and was little known, caused a bigger storm than any of Yan Chu's previous major battles.

Because it proved one thing: Yan Chu had already opened the Divine Treasury and achieved Heaven-Man status.

From a Sixth Realm Martial Artist to a Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster, Supreme Grandmaster, and now to a Heaven-Man, Yan Chu had time and again shocked the world and made them re-evaluate him.

The current Yan Chu truly stood at the top of the Jianghu.

As time passed, this news continued to spread further, gradually reaching the Western Regions, Southern Wei, and Northern Mang...

Imperial Palace, Yongshou Palace.

Luo Jin bowed, her curves graceful and her features exquisite.

Even while bowing, she was much taller than most palace maids.

She spoke in a relaxed tone, recounting everything Yan Chu had asked, and reported to the Empress Dowager that he had left Red Leaf Villa to go cause trouble for the Red Sleeve Beckon.

"He said to tell you not to worry, he won't delay the departure of the wedding escort team!"

The Empress Dowager was still in that bright yellow silk dress, but at this moment, she had no golden hairpin to hold up her hair. Her three thousand strands of black hair hung down like a waterfall, smooth and soft, adding a touch of charm to her peerless beauty.

Although Luo Jin was also a rare beauty, in front of the Empress Dowager, she was naturally suppressed and paled in comparison.

The Empress Dowager rubbed her brow with her jade-like fingers, let out a sigh, and said helplessly:

"What a troublemaker!"

"Fine, let him go. As long as he doesn't poke a hole in the sky, I will vouch for him!"

"Yes! Then this servant will take her leave!"

"Hmm! Oh, right..."

The Empress Dowager remembered something else,

"Go handle the matter I arranged for you as soon as possible!"

Luo Jin's tall and slender body stiffened imperceptibly. She lowered her eyes and said slowly: "Yes!"

After Luo Jin left, there was no one else in the hall. The Empress Dowager leaned back slowly in her chair, her posture leisurely and full of charm.

A few meters to her side was a transparent gauze curtain. Behind the curtain was a desk, and behind the desk was an old man whose face could not be clearly seen.

"Old Master Ge, are you certain that the Northern Mang's Upheaval will occur after Yun Shu marries over there?"

"Yes!"

The old man behind the curtain was sparing with his words.

"But before I ordered Yan Chu to accompany the group, the future changes you predicted did not include this event."

"Correct!"

"So, the Northern Mang's Upheaval has nothing to do with Yun Shu's marriage; the key lies with Blade Demon Yan Chu, right?"

After this sentence was asked, the old man did not respond.

The Empress Dowager did not mind and continued to speak to herself:

"A few months ago, when you divined the origins of this person, not only was it all Chaos, but it also caused a backlash that resulted in severe damage to your Origin Qi. This person's background must be extraordinary."

"And in such a short time, he has broken through to the Heaven-Man Realm. It seems that the calamity of Northern Mang is truly destined to befall this person!"

When the Empress Dowager said the last few sentences, the old man behind the curtain had already disappeared without knowing when. During this process, the wind did not move, and the curtain did not move.

The Empress Dowager's deep eyes gazed at the curling green smoke rising from the incense burner in front of her, a mysterious smile appearing on her lips.
