The [Heavenly Yin Soul Pen] is a high-grade attack mystical weapon, but its attack capability is not particularly outstanding.
However, during an attack, when the [Heavenly Yin Soul Pen] touches the enemy’s mystical weapon, it can affect the soul imprint within the weapon, disrupting the link between the controller and the weapon, and even erasing the soul imprint.
Of course, it’s not about erasing the entire imprint at once, but partially, depending on specific situations. If the enemy’s level is too weak, it’s possible to directly erase the soul imprint.
"It can actually erase soul imprints."
This special ability made Chen Yu especially delighted, yet he felt a bit regretful.
If he had obtained this [Heavenly Yin Soul Pen] earlier, he wouldn’t have spent so much time and effort erasing the soul imprint within the [Ten Thousand Dragon Crown].
"The ’Ten Thousand Dragon Crown’ can’t be used in all situations, the ’Heavenly Yin Soul Pen’s attack performance is average, but this special ability can achieve unexpected results under surprising circumstances."
The grade of the [Ten Thousand Dragon Crown] is too high, even the Emperor of Xuanming Realm would envy it.
And Chen Yu, who practiced the White Tiger Sacred Claw, isn’t particularly lacking in attack mystical weapons, the [Heavenly Yin Soul Pen] is indeed quite suitable for him.
Next, Chen Yu continued treasure hunting, but his luck was just average.After all, the likelihood of finding good things here was already low, and most of the structures had been destroyed in previous battles.
Spending a few days, Chen Yu scavenged the entire abode, then set his sights outside the abode.
Back then, it was near the abode that he discovered a grove of Heavenly Embryo Fruits.
Chen Yu first thought of the Yuan Stone Vein beneath the grove of Heavenly Embryo Fruits.
Back then, both Chen Yu and Zhu Lingyu only took the high-quality part, and the entire vein still lay underground.
And it was then that Chen Yu conceived an astonishing idea, which is to move this massive Yuan Stone Vein into the heart’s internal world.
Now, he can finally try it.
Chen Yu came to the underground, stood on this vein, and attempted to move the vein into the heart’s internal world by using the method for transferring things into the Light Silver Crystal Space.
Bang! Buzz!
The entire vein shook and suddenly vanished from his sight.
Chen Yu’s consciousness felt heavy and exhausted, moving such a big vein into the heart’s internal space consumed quite a lot.
His consciousness entered the heart’s internal world.
Sure enough, a Yuan Stone Vein had appeared here, and Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was continuously emanating.
However, merely one Yuan Stone Vein can’t immediately improve the qi concentration of a whole world.
"If one is not enough, then let’s get a few more."
Once Chen Yu changes the environment of the heart’s internal world, the mysterious heart might undergo a transformation because of this.
Moreover, the heart’s internal world can be considered Chen Yu’s private world. Once the environment of this private world changes, he might even be able to cultivate rare materials and spiritual medicine here.
Any major force would demarcate a vast territory for cultivating spiritual materials.
The more resources there are, the easier it is for a force to grow and prosper.
For an individual, having more resources allows for a faster improvement of strength.
Now that Chen Yu has this condition, he will naturally pursue it.
"First, change the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi concentration of the private world."
Chen Yu buried this vein underground and continued exploring.
Perhaps this small world contains only Chen Yu, but he can’t claim it for himself, so he decided to move all the good things here into the heart’s internal world.
After a month of exploration, Chen Yu discovered two more Yuan Stone Veins and quite a number of precious materials and spiritual treasures, some rare and rare, others ordinary and common.
"When leaving here, I’ll take everything away."
Chen Yu smiled and returned to the abode.
He didn’t intend to immediately return to the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Nest. The cultivation environment here is good, and nothing troublesome would disturb him.
Moreover, he currently has sufficient resources on hand. The cultivating resources for the Vermilion Bird Sacred Wings and the Fire Profound Essence Crystal are also numerous, enough to last for several years.
Thus, Chen Yu began a long retreat.
...
When Zhu Lingyu returned, it shook the entire Vermilion Bird Heavenly Nest.
Firstly, her identity is not simple; secondly, it concerns the interests of the Heavenly Spirit Crane Clan’s underground small world.
That day, many high-ranking officials of the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Nest were stirred, including the demigods.
Zhu Cangyan, despite his dislike for Zhu Lingyu, was quite pleased upon learning of her return.
He had spearheaded that mission, which caused such a fiasco, escalating internal conflicts within the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Nest.
In the solemn atmosphere of the grand hall.
"Lingyu, tell us about your experiences."
The one seated at the head was an elderly red-haired man, a demigod powerhouse of the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Nest, and Zhu Lingyu’s grandfather.
Next, Zhu Lingyu recounted everything she knew thoroughly and honestly.
The high-ranking officials present listened, and there was no contradiction between Zhu Lingyu and Zhu Cangyan’s account.
"Where is that small world now?"
"What treasures are there inside?"
"Is Chen Yu dead?"
Many questions arose.
"That small world has hidden in the void and moves independently."
"As for treasures, there should be formidable rare treasures, but what exactly they are and into whose hands they’ve fallen, I do not know."
"Chen Yu... probably has met with misfortune."
Zhu Lingyu answered each question.
The hall quieted down slightly, and the atmosphere seemed heavy.
The Blood Race and God Demon Descendants appeared in the Demon Race territory and attacked the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Nest disciples. Ultimately, the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Nest got no benefit, and the real rare treasure suspectedly ended up with the foreign race.
The heavenly martial genius from the Heavenly Martial Sect, Chen Yu, has died.
Nothing good came of it, all bad things have come to pass, this is undoubtedly a hard slap to the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Nest.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that the Blood Race or the God Demon Descendant race might not have left the Demon Race territory so soon. We should immediately mobilize forces and eliminate them."
Zhu Lingyu proactively suggested.
She wanted to avenge Chen Yu, and she absolutely must not let those enemies go.
The senior members fell into contemplation, searching for a few people in this vast Demon Race territory is akin to finding a needle in a haystack.
Especially the Blood Race, the difficulty of searching is too great. .
But the search is still necessary; Vermilion Bird Heavenly Nest being slapped hard and taking no action would appear weak.
The elders discussed the event until almost everything was clear.
First, notify the various Demon Race forces to search for the infiltrating enemies.
Secondly, dispatch a large number of disciples to search for traces of that small world.
The final point...
"Lingyu, are you certain Chen Yu is dead?"
The Demigod Ancestor asked.
The death of an ordinary human wouldn’t concern a Demigod of the Demon Race, but the one dead is a genius from the Heavenly Martial Sect, a disciple of the Sky Martial Sect Master Sikong Wanli.
If Sikong Wanli knew this, would he let it go?
Zhu Lingyu paused for a moment; naturally, she didn’t want to believe Chen Yu was dead, but all sorts of evidence indicated Chen Yu had died.
Zhu Cangyan, upon knowing Chen Yu had died, was in a rather good mood, although he hadn’t intended to cause Chen Yu’s death.
However, there were some corresponding troubles, namely Chen Yu’s death, with which he couldn’t fully disassociate himself.
Before Zhu Lingyu could speak, an elder said, "Whether Chen Yu is dead or not, the Heavenly Martial Sect should be clear about it."
Everyone nodded; this statement was correct.
The Heavenly Martial Sect undoubtedly has Chen Yu’s "soul token"; if Chen Yu died, they would be the first to know.
"If Chen Yu is really dead, the Heavenly Martial Sect should have contacted us by now. So it means that Chen Yu is likely not dead yet."
Upon drawing this conclusion, Zhu Lingyu was stunned.
This inference was correct, but if Chen Yu isn’t dead, where did he go?
"However, even if Chen Yu isn’t dead, he might still be in danger, liable to die at any moment."
An elder added.
The more they analyzed, the more entangled and headache-inducing it became.
Chen Yu might not be dead; the Heavenly Martial Sect isn’t aware of this situation, so should they proactively inform them?
Informing the Heavenly Martial Sect would surely entail some disputes.
But if not informed, should Chen Yu die, and the Heavenly Martial Sect comes knocking, it would be even more troublesome.
Amidst a bout of indecision, the higher-ups deliberated a decision:
Drag it out for two months; during this period, Vermilion Bird Heavenly Nest will conduct a comprehensive search. After two months, if there are still no results, then inform the Heavenly Martial Sect directly.
The search continued quickly for two months; no news of the Blood Race and God Demon Descendant race, and no trace of the small world was found.
Thus, the matter was conveyed back to the Heavenly Martial Sect of the Human Race.
Sikong Wanli, upon learning of this matter, was naturally enraged!
He had promised Chen Yu personally that going to Vermilion Bird Heavenly Nest would definitely not endanger his life.
And now, Chen Yu’s life was indeed at risk.
Moreover, he was Chen Yu’s mentor, and Sikong Wanli was increasingly satisfied with this disciple, transferring part of his expectations initially placed on Qin Wentian to Chen Yu.
Reasonably and emotionally, this couldn’t be settled easily.
Fortunately, Chen Yu’s soul token hadn’t shattered, so he could only urge Vermilion Bird Heavenly Nest to make all-out efforts to "rescue" Chen Yu and, by this means, exert pressure on the Demon Race.
The rescue operation continued.
One month, half a year, a year... three years, without any results.
Even if Chen Yu wasn’t dead, he might have been enslaved by the enemy, or perhaps was wandering in outer space and void, among other possibilities.
Various possibilities, at best, were only slightly better than being dead.
And the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan completely gave up, admitted their failure, willing to compensate.
For three years, across a wide range of rescue, Vermilion Bird Heavenly Nest also expended enormous human and material resources, continuing forward without knowing when it would end.
So they admitted their fault and offered Heavenly Martial Sect a substantial compensation.
Though it wasn’t the result Sikong Wanli wanted, yet the compensation from Vermilion Bird Heavenly Nest was generous, treating Chen Yu as an Emperor of Xuanming Realm in terms of compensation; if Sikong Wanli continued demanding, it would seem like aggressive coercion, deliberately being difficult.
...
Chen Yu’s cultivation in the small world was very steady, without external interference; he was there long enough to almost forget about time.
Five years later, Chen Yu finally concluded his training.
Now his cultivation level is at the peak of the later stage, only one step away from being a Four-star King.
"I’ve been here for five years already."
Initially, Chen Yu planned to stay for two to three years before leaving, coinciding with the time limit of coming to the Demon Realm for cultivation.
Five years exceeded expectations but wasn’t too long.
Before leaving, Chen Yu moved the Yuan Stone Vein of this world, along with some Heaven’s precious materials, into his internal world within the heart.
Then, he bid farewell to this place where he secluded himself for five years.
Upon returning to the main world, Chen Yu found himself still in the Demon Race territory, which was convenient; he could greet Vermilion Bird Heavenly Nest before heading back to the Heavenly Martial Sect.
Several months later, Chen Yu saw the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Nest.
