Chapter 370: Su Chen’s Plan

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After pondering for a moment, he spoke solemnly, “My young mistress’s ancestor was the Profound Heaven Emperor. Back then, Shang Zhou’s marriage alliance with my mistress was precisely because of this background.”

“Oh? There’s actually such a matter?” Su Chen was surprised to hear this. He had never heard anyone mention this before. Not only that, he had never even heard of this Profound Heaven Emperor. Of course, it was possible this great emperor was from an era long ago. In addition, with his descendants being so unremarkable, this great emperor’s reputation had gradually faded from memory. After all, countless great emperors had been born since ancient times. Not to mention just in the East Barrens, there were hundreds of great emperors in the Central Plains alone. Very few could remember every single one in detail.

“The Profound Heaven Emperor’s descendants have declined for a long time. Even the imperial weapons left by their ancestors have been completely lost, and the Emperor’s Scripture is fragmentary, no longer possessing its former glory,” Wang Chaoyang said, face full of desolation. He continued, “After marrying my mistress, Shang Zhou somehow obtained something from them using unknown means. That’s why he now dares to make a move against Dachu and your Great Mystery Sacred Sect at this critical juncture.”

Wang Chaoyang was at best a servant of the Profound Heaven Emperor’s descendants. He had no idea what other precious items the clan possessed, nor what exactly Shang Zhou had obtained. He could only make some inferences based on the conversations between Shang Zhou and the dark creatures. In his view, Shang Zhou must have made some preparations for him to be so fearless. But the problem was, he did not know what preparations the other had made.

“Anything left by a great emperor, no matter what it is, is not something ordinary people can guess at,” Su Chen murmured.

Initially, he had thought Dashang was merely collaborating with the dark creatures. While tricky for him, joining forces with Dachu would be enough to destroy them. After all, he had a Saint King Realm master backing him up. Back then, they had destroyed the Spirit Race, so dealing with Dashang now should not be an issue.

However, after Wang Chaoyang’s words today, Su Chen felt something was off. In his eyes, Dashang was now connected to the Profound Heaven Emperor. If they were careless, it could end in total defeat. If Shang Zhou summoned the projection of a great emperor, they would be instantly annihilated. The Profound Heaven Emperor might already be dead, but no one knew just what contingencies he had left for his descendants.

“I’m speculating that Shang Zhou may have a formation related to the Profound Heaven Emperor,” Wang Chaoyang said solemnly after careful recollection.

“A formation?” Su Chen was taken aback.

In terms of threat, a formation was comparable to an imperial weapon. Anyone who could grasp a Great Emperor Realm killing formation might not be able to kill a great emperor, but easily slaying several Saint Realm or Saint King Realm powerhouses would be simple.

“In that case, to be foolproof, we should at least have an imperial weapon?” Su Chen paced back and forth in the hall, speaking slowly.

Wang Chaoyang had only said the Dashang emperor had a formation related to the Profound Heaven Emperor, but not whether it was complete or fragmented. If it was an incomplete formation, that would be easier to handle. Though its power was terrifying, it was after all incomplete with many flaws. But if it was a complete killing formation, then there would be huge trouble. Let alone him, even if Long Wu entered she would never return.

“No! Perhaps even without an imperial weapon, it’s time for that existence at the Demon Slaying Altar to contribute.” Su Chen seemed to recall something. His footsteps suddenly halted as a smile crept onto his face.

Back then, he had made an agreement with that being at the Demon Slaying Altar. He would provide healing pills, while the other would lend strength when needed. Hadn’t such a situation arisen now? Although also a dark creature, the one at the Demon Slaying Altar was still exceedingly powerful, at the Great Emperor Realm! With him making a move, even if the Dashang emperor grasped some formation left by the Profound Heaven Emperor it would be nothing to fear.

“Does Senior have a way to deal with this?” Seeing Su Chen smile, Wang Chaoyang instantly felt relieved. At the same time, his divine soul grew even more illusory.

Lacking a physical body and having shuttled through the void for days, he was now at the end of his rope. Glimpsing a ray of hope, he immediately relaxed, almost unable to persist.

“I have thought of a method, but the most pressing matter is treating Elder Wang’s injuries,” Su Chen said, stretching out a palm with a wisp of divine light entering Elder Wang’s divine soul, helping stabilize its dissipation.

Then, with his other hand, he took out a storage ring. “There are some things inside that can help Elder Wang reforge your body. I hope Elder Wang will not decline.”

“Well…” Elder Wang accepted the ring, glancing within, his aged face flashing with a somewhat overwhelmed look.

It was common knowledge that once shattered, without rebirth from a drop of blood, anyone reforging their body would have greatly reduced strength. However, there was another way – using sufficiently precious materials. Like so, even reforging one’s body, their power would not diminish.

What Su Chen had given could help him completely rebuild his body. His strength might remain on par with before. With luck, he may even have a chance at becoming a saint in this life! This kindness went far beyond just the grace of rebirth.

“Elder Wang, there’s no need to decline. This is just a token of my appreciation,” Su Chen said with a smile. “Back in Dashang, you helped me extensively. Moreover… Your young mistress will still need you to protect her in the future.”

“Then… Thank you, Senior!” Wang Chaoyang cupped his fists in thanks.

“It was just a minor matter,” Su Chen said, gazing deeply at the elder and waving a hand. He still had a Saint Ascension Pill on him. He had been wondering whether to give it to Elder Wang to advance him to the Saint Realm. That would greatly benefit both him and Shang Zimo. But it seemed he would not need to now… Of course, it was possible the elder would still require it after reforging his body.

“Elder Wang, you can stay and recover here. I have some matters to arrange,” Su Chen casually said.

As his voice fell, he took a step and vanished from the hall. When he reappeared, he was atop the mountain where the Great Mystery Holy Lord resided. At this moment, the Holy Lord was playing chess with Elder Fan. Seeing Su Chen arrive, he promptly stood and bowed. “Greetings, Supreme Elder!”

“No need for such courtesy.” Su Chen descended from the void, coming before the two of them. “I’ve come today hoping the Holy Lord can send a message to the outside world..”
