Chapter 1594 - Soul Nascent Grass

One of the experts behind Qi Dong asked, “Young Leader, should we investigate his background?”

“No need.” Qi Dong immediately said, “Someone like him can’t be an ordinary figure. Probing his origins would only risk offending him if he found out. As long as we maintain goodwill, he has no reason to target us. That’s enough.”

He paused, eyes sharpening. “Besides, do you truly believe a rogue cultivator with no backing would dare act recklessly in the Chaotic Demon Sea? Would such a person really kill Shark Crown Prince without a second thought?”

Qi Dong’s eyes flickered with wisdom.

Chen Fan’s mannerisms and monstrous talent told Qi Dong that he couldn’t be a rogue cultivator. This was not someone a lone cultivator could ever become, nor someone a mere king-level force could nurture.

Even without thinking too deeply, it was apparent that Chen Fan’s identity was extraordinary. He was very likely a successor of an emperor-level power from the Matrka Heavenly Domain.

In the Chaotic Demon Sea, king-level forces reigned supreme. But once placed within the greater Matrka Heavenly Domain, their status dropped instantly to that of third-rate factions.

If they accidentally provoked a true behemoth, annihilation overnight would not be surprising at all. After all, a king-level force being annihilated overnight wasn’t something unheard of in the Chaotic Demon Sea Region.

Someone like Chen Fan could only be befriended. Making him an enemy would be courting disaster.

“Hoho, it would be interesting if he really is from an emperor-level force in the Matrka Heavenly Domain.” Qi Dong chuckled softly.

Chen Fan had no idea that Qi Dong was speculating on his identity. Even if he did, he wouldn’t have cared.

By now, he had already arrived at the entrance to the seventh level.

The sixth level, though it resembled a primordial world filled with terrifying beasts, was relatively sparse. The ferocious creatures were scattered, unlike the lower levels, where demons swarmed densely in every corner.

Just as Qi Dong had mentioned, a ”mountain range” stretching several kilometers lay sprawled before the entrance to the seventh level.

At first glance, it looked like a range of ancient mountains. But Chen Fan immediately sensed the powerful vitality contained within. The entire “mountain range” rose and fell rhythmically, as if breathing.

The massive beast was indeed in deep slumber. There was no telling how many years it had been sleeping. Dust covered its enormous frame, slowly forming the majestic outline of mountains over countless years.

Simply looking at the massive figure caused Chen Fan’s hair to stand on end. Although size didn’t necessarily correlate to power, it was true often enough to inspire fear.

Furthermore, as soon as Chen Fan’s powerful immortal will approached, it was instantly shredded into pieces by an invisible force.

From head to tail, the massive beast radiated a terrifying aura. It was at least an Immortal King realm ferocious beast.

No wonder Shark Crown Prince, Qi Dong, and the others didn’t enter the seventh level.

With such a monster guarding the entrance, slipping past unnoticed was impossible. If the beast were startled awake, it would not care who stood before it. One casual strike would turn any intruder into pulp.

Chen Fan immediately abandoned all thoughts of forcing his way through here. Even if there was a chance the beast might remain asleep, the risk was far too great.

With the massive beast in deep slumber, Chen Fan couldn’t determine its exact cultivation. Still, from the aura leaking out alone, he was sure it was far more terrifying than Xuan Gan.

After weighing his options, Chen Fan decided against taking the risk.

He had taken countless risks in his life, but each time, he had possessed at least some confidence. This time, he had none.

Moreover, the Immortal Kings from the various major forces would soon arrive. They would certainly gather here, unwilling to be blocked by a single beast.

He could decide his next move after observing the situation then.

If those people could kill the massive beast, Chen Fan could try fishing in troubled waters. And if even those old monsters were no match for the beast, then he would turn around and flee immediately.

Thinking of this, Chen Fan didn’t hesitate any longer and left.

The sixth level was a land of treasures, and he still hadn’t found a Soul Nascent Grass. He needed to look for it thoroughly.

The sixth level’s environment resembled the primitive era, with all kinds of powerful creatures living within, including peak Immortal Platform realm existences. For some unknown reason, however, no other Immortal King realm existed.

Even so, no one dared to act recklessly. No one knew how terrifying those unknown ferocious beasts could become once enraged. At the very least, they would far surpass cultivators of the same realm.

Under these circumstances, explorers scoured the sixth level and uncovered countless rare natural treasures. In fact, the abundance here surpassed what Chen Fan had encountered beyond the Demon Suppression Tower.

Chen Fan roamed through the sixth level; in the blink of an eye, three months passed.

Over the course of the three months, Chen Fan improved significantly and had thoroughly stabilized his strength in the fifth-level Immortal Platform realm.

He also found many natural treasures during this period. Among them were ten-thousand-year-old immortal herbs, as well as extremely rare plants capable of extending one’s lifespan, such as Life-Extending Grass.

Deep within a dense forest, several small groups could be seen cautiously searching for treasure.

Suddenly, one of them exclaimed in surprise, “Look, that's Soul Nascent Grass!”

Soul Nascent Grass, although not as precious as Life-Extending Grass, could heal injuries to the soul. It could even elevate the soul and was an extremely precious immortal herb, rarely seen in the outside world.

Puchi!

A streak of green light flashed past. A green vine emerged out of nowhere and instantly pierced through the forehead of a sixth-level Immortal Platform realm expert, blowing it up like a watermelon. Red and white brain matter spattered everywhere.

The surrounding cultivators reacted instantly, unleashing their attacks and blasting the vine into pieces.

“Everyone, watch out!” shouted the group’s leader grimly. He was a seventh-level Immortal Platform expert.

This place was fraught with danger at every turn.

Natural treasures were plentiful, but death could strike at any moment. No one dared lower their guard.

Judging by their attire and demeanor, these people were small hunting teams from the Chaotic Demon Sea, not members of major forces.

For these people, every stalk of natural treasure was very valuable. Even if one of their people died, they wouldn’t give up on their mission.
