Chapter 290: Rebirth: I'm a Grandpa (Part Fourteen)

The Vast Continent
The Southern Region Genius Tournament.
Geniuses from the Southern Region gathered, including even prodigies with divine bodies, some already at the peak of the Profound Realm at a young age.
War chariots and strange beasts arrived in droves, and extraordinary phenomena filled the sky.
Powerful auras surged through Dongfang Yunxing's heart.
In three years, his cultivation had recently reached the eighth level of the Spirit Soul Realm.
In the Southern Region Genius Tournament, this was considered upper-middle tier, but compared to those monstrous geniuses with divine bodies, he was still slightly inferior.
Dongfang Yunxing felt no fear; instead, he was exceptionally excited.
The Southern Region Genius Tournament was not merely a martial arts competition.
It was also a means to suppress a seal held by the Ghost Clan and hunt down the Ghost Clan's remaining souls within that seal.
Killing the Ghost Clan's remaining souls would yield treasures like Ghost Pearls.
Ghost Pearls could increase the soul power of martial arts.
Dongfang Yunxing defeated numerous prodigies and easily obtained the qualification to enter the Ghost Clan Valley.
"There are still hidden powerhouses in this Southern Region, and their methods are quite formidable."
Su Chen was somewhat surprised.
The one suppressed beneath that deep, secluded valley was actually a quasi-Emperor level Ghost Clan powerhouse.
A quasi-Emperor level being in such a small universe would absolutely be considered an unparalleled powerhouse, yet he was suppressed and had his cultivation extracted to nourish the heavens and earth. The mastermind behind this must be an extremely powerful being, or at least an unorthodox cultivator with such methods and audacity.
As everyone knows, the Southern Region isn't the most desolate, but it's not much better.
Many prodigies from the Southern Region entered, including Dongfang Yunxing.
Su Chen sensed a familiar aura.
Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan disguised himself among the crowd and blended into the secret realm.
"Little Yunxing,"
"This time, the secret realm won't be peaceful."
Su Chen's voice echoed in Dongfang Yunxing's mind.
Dongfang Yunxing was still planning to ask what was going on.
"I need to sleep a little longer. Everything depends on you now."
No matter how Dongfang Yunxing called out, Su Chen within the Heavenly Fate Pearl didn't respond at all.
Dongfang Yunxing understood immediately.
It was time for his master to test him again!
Dongfang Yunxing secretly vowed that he wouldn't disappoint his master!
After entering the secret realm, Dongfang Yunxing began searching for the remnants of the Ghost Clan.
The power contained within the Ghost Pearl was immensely beneficial to those in the Spirit Soul Realm.
After persistent effort, Dongfang Yunxing's cultivation broke through to the ninth level of the Spirit Soul Realm.
At the ninth level of the Spirit Soul Realm, except for a few exceptional geniuses, Dongfang Yunxing was invincible.
He began collecting more resources.
By chance, Dongfang Yunxing snatched a King-grade medicinal herb from many geniuses.
The power of the King-grade herb allowed Dongfang Yunxing to begin his fourth Nirvana.
...
Chen Xuan entered the secret realm.
He immediately unleashed a killing spree.
Many geniuses died at his hands.
"What kind of bullshit Southern Region geniuses are these?"
Chen Xuan found them laughable compared to him, with his system.
Genius? What is that?
Through Chen Xuan's relentless efforts, he finally encountered the white-clad woman from before.
Lu Xuewei!
Lu Xuewei's cultivation was at the eighth level of the Profound Realm, while Chen Xuan's was only at the fifth level.
However, Chen Xuan showed no fear.
Lu Xuewei's cultivation was self-cultivated, riddled with flaws.
Chen Xuan's cultivation level was achieved through his own efforts, completing system tasks and receiving a one-click transfer of innate, flawless power from the system!
Chen Xuan also possessed a sacred divine ability gifted by the system, instantly perfected without requiring any personal comprehension.
Chen Xuan also had an innate divine body gifted by the system.
Lu Xuewei discovered that she was no match for Chen Xuan. In just three years, this guy's cultivation had actually broken through to the fifth level of the Profound Realm!
Lu Xuewei was severely injured by Chen Xuan.
Just as Chen Xuan was laughing triumphantly,
his smile suddenly froze.
A stunning sword light suddenly attacked.
"It's you!"
Chen Xuan noticed that the person who attacked was handsome, completely different from the person he had encountered in the Wind and Cloud Dynasty.
However, Chen Xuan wouldn't mistake this aura!
Lu Xuewei was somewhat surprised.
The one who suddenly arrived was none other than Dongfang Yunxing.
"Chen Xuan!"
Dongfang Yunxing's sword intent was chillingly cold.
Enemies meeting again, their eyes blazed with fury.
This time, Dongfang Yunxing didn't conceal his face, and Chen Xuan found him somewhat familiar.
A figure quickly flashed through his mind, overlapping with Dongfang Yunxing.
"Dongfang Yunhai? No... Dongfang Yunhai is definitely dead!"
"Who is Dongfang Yunhai to you?"
Chen Xuan remembered.
He seemed to have a mission.
The Dongfang family was missing one survivor.
That was a mission that rewarded a fourth level of cultivation!
This caused him to burst into laughter after a brief moment of astonishment.
"Hahahaha, the last survivor of the Dongfang family, I've been searching for you for so long, I didn't expect you to actually deliver yourself to my door!"
Dongfang Yunxing, on the other hand, appeared much more mature and calm.
He stared coldly at Chen Xuan.
In the void, sword shadows coalesced.
Flickering with dark flames.
A world-shaking battle erupted.
Lu Xuewei watched this scene unfold.
A sense of unease crept into her heart.
She was a descendant of the Holy Sect's lineage, possessing unparalleled talent.
In just three short years, Chen Xuan had defeated her.
Now, the young man with whom she once shared a romantic connection was even more terrifying. Merely a newcomer to the Profound Realm, he possessed the combat strength of a peak Profound Realm cultivator.
Chen Xuan and Dongfang Yunxing were locked in a fierce battle.
This was a life-or-death struggle.
Chen Xuan discovered that the young man he had once easily defeated was now fighting him to a standstill.
Remember, three years ago, Dongfang Yunxing had only managed to survive by ambushing him while he was severely injured, only posing a threat after his strength was exhausted.
Now, he could fight him to a standstill, even though his cultivation was lower!
Chen Xuan wondered, who was truly cheating?
He possessed a system—a truly heaven-defying artifact!
Especially since Dongfang Yunxing's methods were endless, possessing numerous powerful spells and supernatural abilities, even more terrifying than the Saint-level spells and supernatural abilities Chen Xuan had obtained from the system!
Chen Xuan had to kill Dongfang Yunxing.
Ignoring the ghost girl's warning, he used the trump card she had given him.
That was...
"The aura of a Saint!"
Inside the Heavenly Fate Pearl, Su Chen sighed. Before becoming Emperors, every member of the Transmigrator Alliance was indeed a person of great fortune; they were truly difficult to kill.
Su Chen slowly extended a finger from inside the Heavenly Fate Pearl.
The finger touched the barrier of the Heavenly Fate Pearl, causing ripples.
At this moment...
For some reason, Chen Xuan suddenly felt an immense terror enveloping him.
There was no escape, no way to breathe!
He was definitely going to die!
However, that feeling came and went in an instant.
Chen Xuan thought he was hallucinating.
Inside the Heavenly Fate Pearl
Su Chen withdrew his outstretched hand, squinting at the sky above the Heavenly Fate Pearl.
"The aura of the Ghost Clan... You come from the Ghost Clan outside?"
A super strong expert has awakened in the Southern Region!
