Dragon King Hall's Legend

Chapter 1778: Chu Huannian Refuses to Give Up! The Tiangan Secret Realm Opens!

Mu Jinyu took Chu Huannian from Xuu Lin's hands, resolving the trap he had just set within her body, while bidding farewell to Xuu Lin and the others, then supported Chu Huannian as they walked back.

"This little guy is quite interesting."

"Loyal and righteous, he might bear great responsibilities in the future."

"It's a pity, however, that he walks the path of Humanity, and is almost at its end. Such a pity..."

Gazing at Mu Jinyu and Chu Huannian leaving, many mentors and the Institute Head secretly sighed.

Though Mu Jinyu's performance today was outstanding, because the path of cultivation he chose was destined not to continue further, they did not look favorably on his future.

"No need for pity, perhaps he might carve out his own cultivation path."

Wang Yeqing remarked calmly.

"Maybe..."

Few responded.

Many present knew that from ancient times, after the environment of the Canglan Realm became unsuitable for the cultivation of the Human Race, some human experts established cultivation techniques like the "Humanity Path Sutra" and "Armament Martial Scripture" based on the paths and insights of a few Human Emperors, in hopes of pioneering an alternative cultivation path.

Later, for various reasons, the cultivation of the "Humanity Path Sutra" stopped at the Void Breaking Realm, with only a handful ever reaching the first layer of the Life and Death Realm.

Yet, this bore little significance.

In the years that followed, many brilliant individuals attempted to complete the "Humanity Path Sutra" and other cultivation techniques, with some succeeding.

But they could only progress to about the Life and Death Realm or Creation Realm before nervously falling into demon or reaching a dead end, unable to continue their path of cultivation.

Therefore, even though Mu Jinyu was a pureblooded human with phenomena like "Blood-Colored Mirroring Rivers and Mountains," they did not believe Mu Jinyu could eventually forge a true path of cultivation and reach the pinnacle of the Canglan Realm.

Wang Yeqing was unsurprised by their reactions, smiling lightly before his figure vanished from the Martial Arts Arena.

...

Outside the Martial Arts Arena.

Mu Jinyu supported Chu Huannian as they walked out.

As many participants had already left, the outcome of the battle had already spread.

The students who initially stood outside the Martial Arts Arena to be the first to learn the result now understood, indeed Mu Jinyu was the ultimate winner.

They gazed at Mu Jinyu and Chu Huannian walking out, eyes full of awe and respect.

Though many among them were intermediate students, there were distinctions even within the intermediate students.

Ordinary intermediate students were simply not on the same level as those who could gain access to the Tiangan Secret Realm.

"Hello, Senior Mu..."

At once, some couldn't help but greet Mu Jinyu.

Hearing their greetings, Mu Jinyu couldn't help but be taken aback.

He had only been at Dongyue Mansion for just over a month, and only became an intermediate student recently, yet now someone was already addressing him as a senior.

"Hello, everyone..."

Mu Jinyu briefly greeted them, then indicated that Chu Huannian was quite injured, and that he needed to take her back for healing, thus finding an excuse to leave.

"Senior Mu is really nice, unlike Chu Xin, Li Yi, and the others — who would bother with us?"

"Exactly, those people can't even fight for a spot in the Tiangan Secret Realm, yet they still act more arrogantly than Senior Mu."

"I've noticed that the more exceptional a person, the more humble they are. It's the half-baked ones who make the most noise."

"..."

Mu Jinyu was unaware of these people admiring him behind his back. He swiftly returned to Courtyard No. 96 with Chu Huannian.

"Whew..."

Returning to the courtyard, Mu Jinyu fully healed Chu Huannian.

"You are so heartless, letting me stay there watching you fight!"

Once Chu Huannian regained her mobility, she couldn't help but complain to Mu Jinyu.

"What's the matter, elder sister?"

Chu Huaxiu and Ji Xiaoyun hearing the commotion, came out to greet them and hearing Chu Huannian's words, Chu Huaxiu curiously and caringly asked.

Chu Huannian vented her grievances to her sister, about how ruthless Mu Jinyu was, her being a martial enthusiast, barely gaining a chance to fight, only to be crushed after several matches, unable to enter the fray again, forced to watch him battle with longing.

Hearing this, Chu Huaxiu chuckled, "Sister, Brother Jinyu was worried about you, hence acted that way. Besides, you also had the opportunity to participate in two matches, didn't that satisfy you?"

Mu Jinyu said, "Indeed, if you're not satisfied, we can still have a few rounds before I leave..."

Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Chu Huannian rolled her eyes at him, playfully accusing, "Fight with you? That's just getting completely bullied, isn't it? No way, unless you suppress your cultivation level to the mid Unity Realm Stage, allowing me some advantage, otherwise, it's not worthwhile, I won't fight with you."

"Alright."

Mu Jinyu agreed.

"Brother Jinyu, Sister Huanian, can't you two not fight?"

Ji Xiaoyun, pitifully pleaded.

"It's alright, it's just sparring." Mu Jinyu said, reaching out to rub Ji Xiaoyun's little head, laughing.

"Yeah, don't worry, we won't hurt our rapport." Chu Huannian also laughed.

Following that, Mu Jinyu and Chu Huannian began sparring again.

However, even though Mu Jinyu suppressed his cultivation to the Unity Realm Stage and withheld secret techniques and killing moves, Chu Huannian still wasn't his match, repeatedly losing.

Amid their constant battles, Mu Jinyu's combat abilities significantly improved.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

Almost millions of miles away from the Donghua Continent, in a region named Xilan Province.

Within Xilan Province, in a massive gorge, stretching over tens of thousands of miles, from the sky, this seemed like a huge sword mark, as if cleaved by someone with a single sword strike.

This gorge, very famous within Xilan Province, was called Duanchang Gorge; once ordinary cultivators approached, they would be harmed by some inexplicable Qi Force, and would essentially perish on the same day below the Unity Realm Stage!

Even at the Unity Realm Stage, prolonged stay here would cause serious injury.

Yet, over the past few days, a dozen people have been lying in wait at the mouth of Duanchang Gorge.

Their clothing was diverse, not interacting with one another, evidently not from the same place, all silently waiting for something.

"Buzz!"

At this moment, the faint blue mist enveloping the gorge suddenly twisted slightly, then gradually condensed, subtly forming a deep blue light curtain.

"It's finally open."

"Quickly notify back!"

Seeing this scene, the dozen people waiting at the gorge's mouth hurriedly transmitted the news back to their respective forces.

Within Dongyue Mansion.

"Crackling!"

Mu Jinyu was still sparring with Chu Huannian when his identity plaque vibrated slightly.

Chu Huannian noticed the anomaly, and guessing that Mu Jinyu needed to leave these days, she decisively stopped, not taking the chance to launch a further attack.

Mu Jinyu also followed stopping, then took out his identity plaque, and with his Divine Sense entered, checking the notification message.

"Whew..." He exhaled softly, a look of anticipation on his face.

"Is it time for the Tiangan Secret Realm to open?" Chu Huannian asked knowingly, yet still voiced the question.

"Yes, the Mansion Master has notified me to gather now." Mu Jinyu replied.
