Secular Immortal of the Nine Realms - Chapter 201

Chapter 201: Benefactor

Pain! Excruciating pain!

Fang Chen’s face warped from the excruciating pain. This pain was many times worse than when his ki sea was crippled by the Vastsea’s martial artist in Three Realms Mountain.

“Why is there such a weird world in your memories?” Enlightenment Heaven Supreme murmured to himself.

He’s browsing through my memories! Fang Chen was horrified. This was the secret he had hidden for many years, but the other party actually found out about it!

“You… aren’t from this realm. You reincarnated from somewhere else?! And you possess the memories of your previous life!” Enlightenment Heaven Supreme was shocked.

It was said that experts in the Three Upper Realms could reincarnate with memories of their previous life intact through their secret arts.

However, Fang Chen was an ordinary person in his memories, not to mention that cultivators didn’t exist in his previous world. How was he able to reincarnate with his memories intact?

Enlightenment Heaven Supreme suddenly felt a surge of excitement. Perhaps these memories might open a new door for my path to becoming an incense immortal!

Fang Chen sweated profusely. He felt indignant. How is he able to search through my soul easily despite my strong soul? Does my memory have nothing to do with my soul?

“This won’t do… This body’s cultivation is too weak for me to slowly sieve through his memories. I should first find the Saint-tier spirit medicine. I can just keep him alive for the main body to deal with,” Enlightenment Heaven Supreme murmured.

He hastened his speed of sieving, skipping right past the useless memories. Soon, he saw what Fang Chen witnessed in the Three Realms Mountain.

Amidst the blazing sun, a figure gazed down on the mortal realm. Eyes of unparalleled authority, reminiscent of a deity, met gaze with the Enlightenment Heaven Supreme.

“AHHHH!” Enlightenment Heaven Supreme suddenly screeched miserably.

He released his grip on Fang Chen’s head to cover his own eyes. Blood was flowing profusely through the cracks of his fingers. His Incense Gold Avatar dispersed, reverting him to his body of flesh and blood.

Fang Chen felt the pain dissipate and heaved a sigh of relief.

Seeing Enlightenment Heaven Supreme’s state, he immediately hurled fireballs with his left hand and unleashed ice arrows with his right on the other party. He specifically targeted the other party’s weaknesses.

Enlightenment Heaven Supreme seemed to have lost his ability to fight back. Even as his body was being torn into shreds, he continued crying miserably in fear, shock, and pain.

Pu!

Enlightenment Heaven Supreme’s head was lopped off, and it rolled a far distance away. Yet, to Fang Chen’s horror, the other party continued screeching.

“AHHHHHHHH!”

Fang Chen walked up to take a look.

Enlightenment Heaven Supreme’s eyes were covered in fresh blood; it was as if his eyeballs had melted down. His face was still warped as it was before his death. His mouth was no longer moving, yet his screams continued to echo in Fang Chen’s ears.

“The screams aren’t coming from him… No, it’s from him. It’s the soul he has planted in this body that is screaming!” Fang Chen widened his eyes in incredulity.

Enlightenment Heaven Supreme had also gone blind after seeing the fairy, and his condition appeared to be even worse than his. Even the soul from his main body had sustained a severe trauma and was screeching ceaselessly.

“You first granted me the power to cultivate, and now you helped me deal with Enlightenment Heaven Supreme’s clone. You are truly my benefactor…” Fang Chen murmured.

The screams were slowly quieting down, until all was left was silence.

Fang Chen felt gleeful. Enlightenment Heaven Supreme’s main body was likely suffering right now as well. This hinted that the fairy in the blazing sun was much stronger than Enlightenment Heaven Supreme.

Just a mere glimpse in his memory was enough to reduce Enlightenment Heaven Supreme to such a state.

“She’s probably in the ranks of the sect ancestors,” Fang Chen deduced.

Moments later, he frowned.

Enlightenment Heaven Supreme knows some of my memories now. At the very least, he knows about my previous world. After what happened today, it’s unlikely that he’ll spare me.

“Time is of essence. That fellow will likely come knocking in a matter of years. I need to quickly raise my cultivation to deal with him.”

Fang Chen began looting the Enlightenment Heaven Supreme’s corpse, but the latter didn’t have anything on him at all. The only things he had here was the sword embryo, the ki stones, and the others.

“Regardless, I’m alive and managed to destroy this body of his. I have at least accomplished my goal here.”

Fang Chen stowed away the shattered fragments of the Moonsunk Gold Truncheon and spent the next few days quietly on Coldreturn Hill. He was waiting for the entrance to open.

The destruction of the Moonsunk Gold Truncheon had greatly weakened Fang Chen’s fighting prowess, so he chose to avoid the beasts. Even so, he still ended up getting chased all around the place.

It wasn’t easy for him to return to the entrance.

There, he saw Ji Congyun hiding in the bushes, looking around furtively like a criminal. His clothes were torn to shreds, and a glaring wound could be vaguely seen.

Upon seeing Fang Chen, Ji Congyun emerged from the bushes and said with a darkened face, “Young master Fang, as you have requested, I have bought time for you.”

Clearly, he wasn’t happy with what he went through in the last ten days. He was used to living a high life, yet he spent ten days here being chased by faes. He was bound to be dissatisfied with this situation!

“Well done. I’ll split a tenth of the treasures here to you,” Fang Chen replied with a smile.

Ji Congyun quietly nodded as he eyed Fang Chen in suspicion. He was curious to know where Fang Chen had gone and what he had achieved in the last ten days.

He didn’t believe what Fang Chen said about ‘pluck a weed from its roots’, and he didn’t think that Fang Chen would return to this dangerous place just to kill a person. He held onto the belief that Fang Chen had a greater purpose here.

Besides, what else was here other than the faes? The Ji Clan had occupied this place for many years now, but they hadn’t seen a single living being here!

Just then, a black shadow flashed across the sky.

Ji Congyun instinctively began slipping away.

“The gate will be opening in a few seconds’ time. If you slip away now, you’ll have to stay here for another ten more days,” Fang Chen calmly said.

Ji Congyun suppressed the fear in his heart while eyeing at the approaching bat fae. Meanwhile, Fang Chen remained perfectly composed.

Seconds later, the gate opened, and Fang Chen walked in.

Ji Congyun hurriedly followed suit. With that, he could finally put down the boulder weighing on his heart.

For some reason, the beasts and faes in the cavern wouldn’t leave the place unless they were forcefully dragged out. This was an important piece of information the Ji Clan learned while they were capturing the Nightmare Steeds.

Outside the cavern, Li Daoye and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Fang Chen returning safe and sound.

The Nightmare Knights frowned when they saw the shabby state Ji Congyun was in, which formed a stark contrast to Fang Chen. Martial artists are indeed no match for cultivators.

“Young master Fang, did you settle him?” Li Daoye anxiously asked.

Fang Chen nodded.

“Really?! That fellow was so powerful…” Li Daoye gulped his saliva as he eyed Fang Chen doubtfully.

“Cut the crap. You can take one Scarlet Fruit and half of the ki stones. Give me everything else.” Fang Chen rolled his eyes and stretched his hand forth.
