Chapter 494: The Third Fated Battle (Seventeen)

Long Jueshen witnessed a top-tier True Immortal die at the hands of his own master, so casually.
He silently mourned for that True Immortal.
This time, it was truly over. Although the True Immortal's position still existed, the one standing in that position would never be that True Immortal again; it was utterly gone.
Su Chen casually pressed down.
Alright, no one can attain True Immortality in this path anymore.
Su Chen nodded in satisfaction; the matter was resolved.
The Mountain and River Sect still left traces.
It wasn't that those True Immortals couldn't destroy the Mountain and River Sect, but rather that some True Immortals wanted to use the Mountain and River Sect as bait.
Although the Mountain and River Sect's Dao Ancestor had become a legend, the immortals still remembered this legend... They feared the Mountain and River Dao Ancestor's return and revenge, and they also coveted his power. They wanted to take advantage of his weakened reincarnation to use the Mountain and River Sect to find the reincarnation of the Mountain and River Dao Ancestor and divide his Dao Fruit.
The idea was beautiful, but reality was cruel.
The day Su Chen awakened his memories in this life, he was already invincible...
He also revealed that the strongest figure on his side was the reincarnation of the enemy.
Therefore, the True Immortal who came was tragically killed by Su Chen.
Long Jue Shen, standing to the side, was eager to try: "Master, shouldn't our goal now be to kill those bastards?"
Long Jue Shen hadn't forgotten that his demise was entirely due to being surrounded and attacked by those unscrupulous individuals; he deeply etched that grudge in his heart.
He couldn't retaliate before, but now that his master had returned, and considering... in his era, there were more than just two or three True Immortals; it was a prosperous era for the Immortal Path. In the end, only he remained, and all the other Immortals, even some giant-level True Immortals, had perished at the hands of the man before him.
Taking care of these little Karamis would be a piece of cake.
"There's a saying among humans!"
"A dog relying on its master's power!"
Long Jue Shen thought it was fine.
Now that he's been reincarnated as a dog, if he doesn't take advantage of his master's power and exact revenge, wouldn't his reincarnation have been in vain?
Su Chen glanced at Long Jueshen with surprise, then refused his request.
"They will naturally be dealt with by others."
Long Jueshen was taken aback. He pondered for a moment: "Does Master intend to use those True Immortals as whetstones for that little girl Xi Yan?"
Su Chen didn't reply, which solidified Long Jueshen's thoughts.
A group of high and mighty True Immortals, the noblest beings in the Immortal Realm, were merely whetstones in the eyes of the man before him, not even deigning to personally intervene. How pathetic.
"Those guys dare to scheme against Master? They're even more audacious than I am!"
Although he didn't know what was so special about Ling Xi Yan.
But Long Jueshen trusted his master's judgment. When his young mistress rose to power, wouldn't she still be his master? He could still exact revenge then, and at worst, let that little girl ride her.
Long Jueshen thought to himself.
After resolving the old affairs of the Mountain and River Sect, Su Chen returned to the Tai Xu Realm with Long Jueshen.
For the members of the Mountain and River Sect now, after Su Chen left, it was as if they had just woken from a dream, yet remembered nothing at all.
...
Su Chen returned to the Tai Xu Realm and began his secluded cultivation.
Long Jueshen also began his secluded cultivation.
However, on a dark and stormy night, Long Jueshen slipped out of the Taixu Realm, and Su Chen turned a blind eye to the dog.
Ling Xiyan's training went smoothly.
She encountered no setbacks along the way.
From south to north, if anyone dared to provoke her, she would resolve it with a single slap. If one slap wasn't enough, she'd slap them again. If the enemy was tough, she'd finish them off with a sword strike. With these three moves, she was invincible, conquering the entire land.
What surprised Ling Xiyan was the fundamental cultivation outline for the King Realm left to her by her master. Whenever she gained insight, she experienced something different, far more profound than any supernatural power or technique. From the Spirit Soul Realm to the Profound Realm, from the Profound Realm to the Void Realm, from the Void Realm to the Nirvana Realm… and now, she was invincible throughout the universe, crushing a contemporary emperor with a single slap.
“The King Realm… isn’t that the Profound Realm?”
Ling Xiyan wondered curiously.
The large yellow dog beside him added in his mind:
'It could also be at the Immortal King realm.'
The large yellow dog was none other than Long Jueshen, who had slipped out of the Taixu Realm.
Long Jueshen knew very well that to leverage its master's power, it needed to cultivate a good relationship with its young master and build a deep emotional foundation.
Of course, this wasn't Long Jueshen's main objective.
Long Jueshen's main objective was the 'General Outline of Basic Cultivation for the King Realm' in Ling Xiyan's possession.
Ling Xiyan was not only a descendant of Xiao Lingzi, but also the only disciple favored by her master. Long Jueshen knew that, given her master's personality, he would certainly not teach her the basic cultivation methods for the Profound Realm.
Besides the Profound Realm in the mortal realm, there was also the supreme realm of the Immortal Path—the Immortal King Realm, an opportunity coveted by countless True Immortals in the cultivation world, and also an opportunity that Long Jueshen craved.
However, Long Jueshen had tried to access the 'General Outline of Basic Cultivation for the King Realm' more than once,
but each time he had returned defeated.
Ling Xiyan opened the book, which contained the path of cultivation. He opened it, but it was blank. Long Jueshen was unwilling to give up.
After much wandering,
Ling Xiyan returned to the Mountain and River Sect.
Because of Ling Xiyan, although the Mountain and River Sect was facing a talent shortage, it was still able to stand among the top forces in this realm.
Ling Anping was very happy.
Under his leadership, not only was the Mountain and River Sect restored, but although all of this was thanks to his daughter, that didn't matter. Being able to raise a genius like Ling Xiyan was his achievement, and this was the proudest thing in Ling Anping's life.
He not only avenged his master, but also his master's master, and his master's master's master...
Within the Mountain and River Sect, the disciples who were once considered untalented were now old and frail.
The only one still young was his sixth senior sister, Ling Youqing.
Upon seeing Ling Xiyan again, Ling Youqing felt a sense of disorientation. She harbored a deep-seated obsession, yet she didn't know its origin. She had witnessed countless geniuses before, all ultimately choosing to return to the Mountain and River Sect, but none of those geniuses could compare to the brilliance of the woman before her.
Ling Anping, seeing Ling Xiyan again, felt a surge of joy.
"Xiyan, your stage shouldn't be limited to this."
"Father, I will always support you."
A token appeared in Ling Anping's hand, which he handed to Ling Xiyan.
"Actually... my Mountain and River Sect isn't originally from this realm. We fled here after being wiped out by a great enemy. If you leave this world, perhaps you can use this token to travel to the ruins of the former Mountain and River Sect. Our sect's ancestor buried a treasure there when the sect was destroyed."
Ling Xiyan accepted the token.
She needed to go to the Upper Realm... she still had many secrets to uncover.
