Chapter 397: Chapter 196: Don’t Go Too Far!

Chen Shi’s heart pounded erratically. Previously, before he had used Stone Rock Lady as his Divine Embryo, Li Tianqing managed to refine his Golden Core to the sixth turn three days before him. Later, after Chen Shi had used Stone Rock Lady as his Divine Embryo, his cultivation progressed rapidly and soon caught up with Li Tianqing.

By using Stone Rock Lady as his Divine Embryo, his cultivation speed was definitely superior to Li Tianqing’s Purple Jade Divine Fetus!

And in this world, the only thing that could surpass the Purple Jade Divine Fetus was probably the Innate Dao Embryo!

Therefore, he speculated that his Innate Dao Embryo, which had been cut away from him, was now likely on the body of this Yudou young master.

His mind was tumultuous, struggling to maintain control.

This young master might very well be his nemesis!

The enemy who caused his death for eight years!

Scholar Pei was heavily injured by Chen Shi’s strike, which damaged his heart and lungs. He coughed and said, "I’ve never personally seen the young master employ his Divine Embryo. The young master’s cultivation is profound and unfathomable; he has never revealed his skills in front of us. I’ve only heard people say that the young master’s Divine Embryo is extremely powerful, the strongest Divine Embryo under the heavens."

"Is it the Purple Jade Divine Fetus? Or the Wenchang Divine Fetus?" Chen Shi inquired, his voice somewhat hoarse, "Or could it be an even stronger Innate Dao Embryo?"

Scholar Pei shook his head and said, "That I don’t know. I only know the young master learns any cultivation technique or Spell very quickly: once studied, instantly mastered. Once an old monk came to visit the young master, to impart to him the Great Freedom Wheel King Divine Seal. The young master mastered it in two days, fully comprehending its essence. The old monk praised the young master’s innate talent as exceedingly rare in this world."

Chen Shi asked curiously, "Old monk? Who is this old monk?"

Scholar Pei responded, "I heard he is a high monk from Great Baoguo Temple, accompanied by a young monk. I can’t recall his specific name."

Chen Shi’s heart stirred slightly: "Zen Master Ku Zhu?"

Scholar Pei thought carefully and said, "Everyone reveres him as Zen Master; it might be this name. The old monk is quite old, with overgrown eyelid skin that droops down, covering his eyes."

Hearing the description, Chen Shi deduced that the old monk was most likely Zen Master Ku Zhu.

Zen Master Ku Zhu, a being of the Mahayana Realm, had reached the highest echelons of cultivation. The Great Freedom Wheel King Divine Seal he imparted must be anything but ordinary. For the young master to completely understand it within two days, his talent was indeed extraordinary!

Zen Master Ku Zhu praising his rare talent was not just flattery.

"Zen Master Ku Zhu’s strength must be much higher than Cold Mountain Wanderer, and the Wheel King Divine Seal he imparted to me surely does not fall short compared to the Ten Thousand Miles Flying Sword Technique imparted by Cold Mountain Wanderer."

He furrowed his brows slightly. The Ten Thousand Miles Flying Sword Technique contained three combined Spells of exquisite cleverness. Learning the first two Spells was not difficult, but the challenge lay in the fact that Cold Mountain Wanderer had not taught the third. It was Chen Shi who self-enlightened the third Spell and completed the Ten Thousand Miles Flying Sword Technique.

Therefore, the young master’s talent and insight seemed to be on par with Chen Shi’s.

Chen Shi’s caution escalated: "There are not many who could match me, this young master is indeed formidable!"

He was also curious about the young master’s identity. Zen Master Ku Zhu, a peerless master from a Holy Land like the Great Baoguo Temple, might have seen something in the young master to impart to him such a profound Seal Technique. This young master must have a significant background!

Scholar Pei continued, "After the young master had learned this Wheel King Divine Seal, he used it to spar with the young monk and defeated him within ten moves, convincing the monk of his defeat. The old monk said that it was not the Seal Technique that allowed the young master to defeat his disciple after only two days of practice; rather, it was the Divine Embryo that made the win effortless. The young master laughed heartily and admitted this point."

Chen Shi’s eyebrows quivered slightly.

The young master used the Wheel King Divine Seal to defeat Monk Wu Chen, who had killed Assistant General Xia Luoying in Gongzhou. Although there was an element of surprise in that attack, Monk Wu Chen had killed Xia Luoying in just a few moves, showing extreme prowess!

Although Xia Luoying, the son of General Xia, was able to hold the position of Assistant General, his cultivation realm probably reached the level of Divinity Transformation.

Monk Wu Chen being able to kill him probably reached the same level of Divinity Transformation.

Although the young master’s realm was unknown, since Zen Master Ku Zhu mentioned his powerful Divine Embryo, it could be assumed that the young master’s realm was about the same as Monk Wu Chen’s. In battle, his Divine Embryo surpassed that of Monk Wu Chen, and that was why he defeated Wu Chen!

Monk Wu Chen’s Divine Embryo was a Second Grade Divine Embryo, only behind the Purple Jade and Wenchang Divine Embryos, and was also extremely formidable.

Scholar Pei was not very knowledgeable. Not knowing what kind of Divine Embryo the young master had, and seeing Chen Shi defeat him with his Golden Core seventh turn in one move, he then assumed Chen Shi’s Divine Embryo was comparable to the young master.

He was just a Third-grade Divine Fetus; perhaps he would never see what a first-grade divine fetus looked like in his life.

Chen Shi asked, "Does the rank of a Divine Embryo have a large influence on a cultivator’s battle power at the same cultivation realm?"

Scholar Pei looked at him in astonishment and said, "Of course it does! The greater the difference in Divine Embryo ranks, the greater the gap in strength! Don’t you even know these basic facts? Hasn’t anyone told you this?"

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "No. I have only compared cultivation levels with those who have first-grade divine fetuses; I have never compared with those with lower-grade Divine Embryos."

He recalled the cultivators he had slain these days and said, "I seldom use a second move on them, so I haven’t had the chance to compare."

Enraged, Scholar Pei choked out, "A gentleman can be killed but not insulted! Chen, if you use this sort of talk to insult me, you might as well kill me!"

Chen Shi admired his integrity, but fearing he might actually die, he hastened to say, "I did not intend to insult you. Think about it: how many moves did it take for me to kill those several people who had higher cultivation than me?"

Scholar Pei paused.

Their group of seven had been keeping watch over Chen Shi, wanting to clarify if he was responsible for wiping out the Taiping Sect. They hadn’t anticipated that four of them would die inexplicably. Panic-stricken, the remaining three set out to kill Chen Shi. However, the peddler didn’t survive a single move, dying beneath the green bamboo.
