Chapter 286: Are You Ready?

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation     Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Don’t worry, I have my own plans,” Su Chen said calmly.

To him, the spirit stones in his possession were merely numbers. Since he started his cultivation journey, the amount of spirit stones he had spent was negligible. Back in the Holy City, he had initially intended to use spirit stones to make legitimate purchases, but things had taken an unexpected turn. The Pavilion Master of True Treasure Pavilion had generously gifted him valuable items, which only increased his stash of spirit stones.

As a result, Su Chen’s spirit stone reserves were more than sufficient. He even had dozens of storage rings on the brink of bursting due to the sheer number of them. Now, a golden opportunity lay before him, and he couldn’t afford to waste it.

“I’ll ask you again, are you willing to break through to the Nirvana Realm?” As soon as these words were uttered, the atmosphere in the scene immediately turned eerie. All eyes were fixed on Huo Xi, who stood calmly in the midst of it all, contemplating her response.

After a brief internal struggle, she nodded with gravity in her voice. “Yes, I’m willing.”

“Very well,” Su Chen acknowledged, his gaze sweeping over the gathered crowd before he turned and headed toward the exit. In one smooth motion, he continued, “This place isn’t suitable for tribulation. Let’s find a better location outside.”

“Alright,” Huo Xi responded without hesitation as she followed him.

As the two departed, the onlookers remained behind, exchanging glances.

“It looks like Su Chen really intends to allow that Eternal Forbidden Body to break through to the Nirvana Realm.”

“However, throughout history, Eternal Forbidden Bodies that broke through to the Nirvana Realm all seemed to have left behind indelible Great Dao injuries.”

“That’s right. Shattered Dao foundations are injuries that are difficult to avoid. Even upon reaching the Nirvana Realm, they may still be unable to fully unleash their power!”

“And perhaps… There’s even a possibility of a regression in strength.”

“Barring any unexpected occurrences, even if that young girl breaks through to the Nirvana Realm, it’s likely that she’ll meet her end.”

“She has a deep-seated blood feud with the Golden Crow Clan, and just now, Qin Yu from the Qin family even declared that he’d slay her as soon as she breaks through.”

“Yes. Maybe it’s better for her not to break through.”

“Hehe… But who among cultivators doesn’t want to advance their own strength? Even though all the Eternal Forbidden Bodies in the past have perished before reaching the Nirvana Realm, no one can say for certain whether this young lady might create a new history.”

Listening to the discussions of those around them, the strong members of various factions like the Qin family, the Spirit Race, and the Golden Crow Clan wore enigmatic smiles.

To everyone else, Huo Xi appeared to be a burden, but Su Chen had willingly taken her under his wing. Unbeknownst to all, this had added quite a bit of trouble to himself.

“The Great Mystery Sacred Sect is a recently promoted saint-level faction, and Su Chen, as the Great Mystery Holy Son, likely doesn’t possess a vast amount of resources. I doubt he can bear all the expenses required for Huo Xi’s breakthrough.”

Among the Qin family members, a middle-aged man named Qin Li expressed his thoughts. He held a high position within the Qin family, even the current family head had to defer to him in terms of seniority. The only regret was that his strength was somewhat lacking, as he had only reached the late stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm until now.

Despite his somewhat lower strength, his status as a member of the Qin family earned him respect from everyone present. No one dared to underestimate him.

“Qin Yu,” Qin Li addressed a young man nearby. “Do you have the confidence to defeat an Eternal Forbidden Body of the same level?”

The situation had now s.h.i.+fted, focusing on whether Su Chen could provide the necessary resources for Huo Xi’s breakthrough. If Su Chen’s friends from the Dasui Empire and Dachu Empire lent their a.s.sistance, Huo Xi’s breakthrough to the Nirvana Realm would be relatively smooth. The critical factor lay in her ability to withstand the ninth heavenly tribulation during this process and whether her Dao foundation would be harmed.

“Please rest a.s.sured, Uncle,” Qin Yu replied confidently. “A mere cripple like her will be easy to eliminate.”

Qin Li nodded approvingly, his eyes filled with praise. “As expected of the second son of our Qin family. Your name, Qin Yu, shall soon become a monument among the younger generation. Surpa.s.sing Su Chen is just a matter of time!”

Outside the Purple Clouds Holy Land, beams of divine light pierced the skies, and powerful auras reverberated throughout. Each beam represented a formidable presence beyond the Nirvana Realm.

“What’s happening? Has the Prodigy Gathering concluded already?”

“I heard there’s a major event in the Purple Clouds Holy Land, a potential Nirvana Tribulation for an Eternal Forbidden Body.”

“Really? Isn’t it extremely rare for Eternal Forbidden Bodies to undergo Nirvana Tribulation? The odds are almost zero!”

“Seems like Su Chen intends to help cultivate a Nirvana Realm Eternal Forbidden Body. With him around, the chances of success are high.”

“After all, Su Chen himself is a formidable cultivator who had overcome nine Nirvana Tribulations.”

“It’s not that simple. Su Chen is Su Chen, and an Eternal Forbidden Body is an Eternal Forbidden Body. In all these years, how many have successfully pa.s.sed the ninth Nirvana Tribulation?”

“In my opinion, the odds of failure for this Eternal Forbidden Body’s tribulation are still high.”

“Why don’t we go take a look? I heard that a Qin family prodigy has boldly claimed that he will personally kill a Nirvana Realm Eternal Forbidden Body.”

Several hundred miles away, a vast plain was surrounded by cultivators. Their gazes were fixed on a slender figure in the center, the graceful, ethereal Huo Xi. Despite her delicate appearance, she concealed tremendous divine power within her.

She had recently inflicted severe injuries on the Fourth Prince of the Golden Crow Clan with a single palm strike in the Purple Clouds Holy Land. If it weren’t for the timely arrival of the Golden Crow Clan’s powerhouses, another prince might have met his end.

“I want to see how you’ll overcome the tribulation,” the Fourth Prince of the Golden Crow Clan sneered, glancing coldly at Huo Xi and then at Su Chen. He understood that the key factor in today’s events was Su Chen’s ability to provide sufficient resources.

If Su Chen had the resources, Huo Xi stood a high chance of surviving the Nirvana Tribulation. However, if resources were lacking, her fate would be bleak under the onslaught of the ninth Nirvana Tribulation.

“Are you ready?” Su Chen inquired, his gaze sweeping the crowd before settling on Huo Xi.

“I’m ready to transcend the tribulation at any time,” Huo Xi replied with a solemn and resolute expression..
