“Su Chen!”

The Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouse from the Golden Crow Clan cast a casual glance at Su Chen.

Then, he shifted his gaze to the other cultivators and spoke in a deep voice, “Today, this is a matter between us and her. If you insist on intervening, have you considered the consequences?”

“I’m sorry, but my stance remains the same.”

Su Chen descended gracefully from the sky and approached Huo Xi calmly. He produced a bottle of spiritual medicine and handed it to her. Then, with a slow turn, he said, “I don’t wish to witness acts of bullying the weaker by the stronger.”

“Hehe…”

The Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouse from the Golden Crow Clan sneered repeatedly, saying, “Who’s to blame when the Eternal Forbidden Body has long been abandoned by the Heavenly Dao? Their highest achievement in this life is merely the Spirit Sea Realm! Since they cannot make a breakthrough, how can one accuse me of bullying the weak?”

The strength of the Eternal Forbidden Body was never to be underestimated. Judging from Huo Xi’s displayed combat power, it was evident just how terrifying the Eternal Forbidden Body was. After all, she was only at the peak stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, yet she could defeat the Fourth Prince of the Golden Crow Clan, who was at the peak stage of the Nirvana Realm. Achieving this level in the Spirit Sea Realm was a feat accomplished by very few young prodigies.

However, there was a problem. Huo Xi was bound by the Eternal Forbidden Body. A hundred years later, she still remained at the peak stage of the Spirit Sea Realm. By that time, the Fourth Prince of the Golden Crow Clan might have become a Quasi-Saint Realm existence. At that point, the Fourth Prince could easily defeat her without much effort. This was why Huo Xi had never been looked upon favorably by others. If it weren’t for Su Chen’s presence, many young prodigies would have attacked her during the banquet, attempting to seize the immortal gold in her possession.

“You make a valid point. Since Su Chen is willing to help her, why not go the extra mile and assist her in breaking through to the Nirvana Realm?” The Spirit Race Patriarch suddenly spoke, his tone filled with mockery. He had suffered some losses at Su Chen’s hands earlier and was now seizing the opportunity for payback.

“If this person breaks through to the Nirvana Realm, I will be the first to eliminate her!”

At that moment, the palace where many young prodigies were located was sealed by the elders of the Purple Clouds Holy Land. Numerous young prodigies emerged from inside, many of them bearing injuries. However, the one who spoke had an unperturbed expression, akin to a youthful war god. His presence exuded a cold aura, and his words carried the sound of clashing steel.

“Oh? Isn’t that Qin Yu from the Qin family?” someone recognized the speaker’s identity and exclaimed. Qin Yuan from the Qin family was known for his unparalleled talent and was expected to become a Great Emperor Realm expert, with the potential to reach the Immortal Realm. Adding to the recent rise of Qin Hao, many considered these two individuals to be the most formidable young prodigies in the Qin family’s younger generation.

However, the truth was different. The reason the Qin family remained unshaken was not due to one or two prodigies but their entire powerful younger generation. While Qin Yu’s aptitude was somewhat inferior to Qin Yuan’s, he was an insurmountable existence for other young prodigies. He possessed a unique physique known as the Nine Transformation Combat Body, making him unmatched within the same cultivation level. Over the years, he had defeated numerous prodigies and was long destined to be Qin Yuan’s first follower.

Today, Qin Yu’s appearance deepened many people’s understanding of the Qin family’s strength. Despite being less talented than Qin Yuan, he could still reach the level of a Holy Son in other factions. However, within the Qin family, he was merely a follower. When comparing the two, the difference was apparent.

“What a pity. A crippled physique is still a crippled physique, and no matter what, it won’t be able to break through to the Nirvana Realm!” Qin Yu’s disdainful gaze swept over Huo Xi, his tone ice-cold. “Once I break through, you won’t even be worthy of being my opponent!”

Huo Xi replied calmly, “If you wait for me to break through, then you won’t be qualified to be my opponent!”

Her voice remained composed, devoid of joy or sorrow. However, careful listeners could detect a hint of resignation. On her path of cultivation, she had heard these words countless times, and she had long achieved a state of tranquility. But now, with Su Chen by her side, she couldn’t maintain the same level of composure.

“Hehe… Why don’t you break through to the Nirvana Realm first?” Qin Yu sneered disdainfully. With these words, Huo Xi fell silent.

However, just when everyone thought Qin Yu had the upper hand in this verbal exchange, a gentle voice sounded from nearby. “Are you willing to break through to the Nirvana Realm now?”

“Hmm?”

As soon as these words were spoken, countless eyes turned to Su Chen.

“Su Chen wants to help her break through to the Nirvana Realm?” someone exclaimed.

The Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouse from the Golden Crow Clan’s expression darkened. Soon after, a trace of mockery appeared in his eyes. Over the years, there had been instances of others helping the Eternal Forbidden Body break through to the Nirvana Realm. In the long river of history, there was a holy land that had paid a huge price to help an Eternal Forbidden Body attract the Nirvana Tribulation. The owner of that Eternal Forbidden Body had been quite tenacious and had withstood the ninth Nirvana Tribulation. However, the final outcome had left many unsatisfied. Although the Eternal Forbidden Body had survived the ninth Nirvana Tribulation, his Dao foundation had suffered numerous cracks. From then on, his strength had significantly declined, and he could only be grateful that it didn’t regress. Breaking through further within the Nirvana Realm was out of the question. Helping the Eternal Forbidden Body reach the Nirvana Realm, no matter how one looked at it, was a losing proposition. After all, even if the Eternal Forbidden Body reached the Nirvana Realm, it would remain there for the rest of its life. A Nirvana Realm cultivator was insignificant in the grand scheme of things. Any major sect could produce hundreds or even thousands of Nirvana Realm cultivators. In the present world, apart from Su Chen, there was probably no one else willing to expend such immense resources to help an Eternal Forbidden Body reach the Nirvana Realm.

“Fellow Daoist Su Chen, please reconsider!” Sui Shang stepped forward to Su Chen’s side, shaking his head slightly as he offered his advice. In his eyes, Su Chen possessed the Crimson Flame Divine Body and a promising future. Every resource at his disposal was precious. Losing everything just to help others would be a great pity. However, on the other hand, the resources required for the Eternal Forbidden Body to break through were colossal, and Su Chen alone might not be able to bear the burden. At that time, he might become a laughingstock in front of all the cultivators. Su Chen’s reputation was currently on the rise, and if this incident tarnished his reputation, it would be a severe blow.

“Fellow Daoist, please think it over!” The Flame Lord from the Flaming Fire Holy Land also stepped forward to offer advice. Many forces that were on good terms with Su Chen followed suit..
