Saint Sovereign of Nine Heavens

"You're awake?" Lau Yinian's voice sounded from the side with a deep sense of exhaustion.    

Chen Yu turned around and saw Lau Yinian's haggard expression and weak breath.    

"Old Liu, what are you doing?" Chen Yu frowned.    

"We should have reached the edge of the wasteland!" Lau Yinian said, "If we go further northeast, we should only be three to five hundred miles away from the Fog Valley!"    

"How long have I been asleep?" Chen Yu felt warm inside and asked.    

"Three days!" Lau Yinian said.    

Chen Yu could not help but smile bitterly. He stood up and looked down at the wounds on his body that had been treated. He carefully examined his body's condition and felt that it was filled with blood. His astral energy had also recovered to seventy percent of its peak state.    

Lifting his head, Chen Yuzheng met Lau Yinian's monster-like gaze. Chen Yu said in surprise, "What is it?"    

"Your recovery rate is too strong!" Lau Yinian turned his head and said faintly, "So strong that I'm jealous!"    

When Chen Yu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's been hard on you, Old Liu!"    

"You're welcome. Without you releasing the Blazing Flame Spiritual Soul at the end and using your godly power to defeat Deng Zitong, I would have become an ice-cold corpse."    

"You recover first, I'll protect you!" Chen Yu said with a smile.    

Taking a deep look at Chen Yu, Lau Yinian, who had a complicated expression on his face, nodded and sat down cross-legged. He swallowed the Medicine Pill and started cultivating.    

Chen Yu sat down at a distance and ate something. Then, he started to carefully check the condition of his body.    

The Star Soul's heart was still emitting a soft and lonely starlight. Within the starlight, the originally palm-sized Flamingo was now only the size of a thumb, and the radiance it emitted was also quite dim.    

Chen Yu was not surprised by this.    

Releasing the Spiritual Soul already consumed a lot of energy. Especially since the fire attribute energy within Chen Yu's body was not strong enough to support the Spiritual Soul's power. Letting it out twice was a huge drain on the Spiritual Soul's energy.    

Chen Yu estimated that the Flamingo s had already fallen to the lower human tier. If he wanted to make it recover, he would need to absorb fire attributed spiritual energy to slowly nurture it.    

Shaking his head, Chen Yu no longer paid attention to the Spiritual Soul and started channeling his Profound Heaven Spell.    

Following the activation of the Profound Heaven Spell, Chen Yu immediately felt the True Divine Spirit Qi under the condition of seventy percent growth. The remaining medicinal energy from the Grade 4 Spirit Pill in every corner of his body had been transformed into pure Supreme Qi.    

When the energy gathered in Chen Yu's Dantian, he discovered that the thickness of his energy was still more than a level higher than his peak state.    

Chen Yu raised his eyebrows, he knew that he could break through the second level of Heavenly Astral Stage at any time.    

Chen Yu shook his head without any expression of joy.    

A single Grade Four Spirit Dan was enough for a Heavenly Astral Stage practitioner to break through the barrier of Spirit Accumulation Stage. Chen Yu, on the other hand, could only make use of the remnant medicinal strength to breakthrough to a small realm, so there wasn't much to be happy about.    

Chen Yu raised his head and looked at Lau Yinian, who was meditating in the distance, then reached his hand into the Storage Bag.    

When he took his hand out from the Storage Bag, there were five crescent-shaped Flying Dagger in Chen Yu's palm.    

The Flying Dagger's light was dim, but its blade was extremely sharp. One could feel a faint sharp presence from the Flying Dagger.    

These five Flying Dagger s were Zhou Fengming's trump card during the battle three days ago. Chen Yu remembered that it was called the 'Spirit Breaking Flying Dagger Formation'.    

"A spirit artifact!" Chen Yu rubbed the sharp edge of the Flying Dagger, and after confirming that there was not a special mind control array inside the Flying Dagger other than a trace of sharp golden aura, Chen Yu lightly shook his head: "Unfortunately, it needs metal element control, so it's not as good as the Snake Tooth for me!"    

However, Chen Yu felt that these five Flying Dagger s were suitable for Lau Yinian.    

Putting away the Flying Dagger, Chen Yu took out the Spirit Weapon Sword that was fire attributed.    

This sword was no small matter. The reason why Chen Yu was able to have a decisive battle three days ago was because this sword was extremely useful.    

If it wasn't for it, Chen Yu wouldn't be able to release the Spiritual Soul from his body and use its unique power.    

The array inside the Spirit Weapon Sword was extraordinary. The fire attribute spirit energy, through the operation of the array, could gather into a Vermillion Bird and move according to the direction of the sword. As long as the warriors who owned this Spirit Weapon had no lack of fire type spiritual energy, they could condense a Vermillion Bird and leave it in the air.    

In terms of quality, this Spirit Weapon was at least mid-ranked, and there was a possibility that it was high-ranked.    

"Being born of a good family is indeed different. Murong Qingwu was unable to unleash the power of this sword, but because she had a father who was an elder, she was able to wield a Spirit Weapon of this level!" Chen Yu smiled. As his eyes fell on the sword, he saw two words: Sparrow Flames.    

After putting the Sparrow Fire Sword by his side, Chen Yu continued to count the rewards.    

His gains were indeed not small. Other than Spirit Weapon s like the Spirit Breaking Flying Dagger Formation, there were also five or six other Storage Bag, all of them belonging to the Ruling Spirit Sect disciples that he had killed three days ago. Amongst them, there were even more outstanding Storage Bag s.    

Zhou Fengming died from the Burning Spirit Fire Body, but the Storage Bag was not burnt down.    

Amongst Zhou Fengming's Storage Bag, there were actually hundreds of other Medicine Pill, as well as a variety of other Medicine Pill and true tools. Furthermore, the majority of the Medicine Pill were all middle grade third grade Medicine Pill, while the true tools were all excellent.    

The other Storage Bag, even though they did not have spirit artifacts, they still had a variety of high quality True Artifacts and Primeval Stone s.    

Such a harvest made Chen Yu feel that killing people for their goods was the fastest way to get rich.    

The last Storage Bag contained an ancient long blade and nearly forty wooden tablets.    

This Storage Bag was the one that Chen Yu forced Deng Zitong to hand over after taking Murong Qingwu as a hostage. The Qi Gu long blade inside was a low-grade fire-attributed spiritual weapon called 'Flowing Flame'. At that time, Deng Zitong gritted his teeth as he handed it over and later changed his spiritual weapon long blade. From this, it could be seen that Deng Zitong was extremely wealthy.    

The amount of 40 tags was a bit shocking. It had only been a few days since the selection, but Deng Zitong had already accumulated 40 tags. Not only did he have all the tags, he had also stolen at least 10 tags from warriors.    

After cleaning everything up, he would pack everything in the Storage Bag. Chen Yu glanced at Lau Yinian, who was still cultivating, then stood up and looked around the area of five kilometers. After determining that there were no unsafe factors, he took out Stellar Soul Scripture and started to study it.    

The Stellar Soul Scripture was a cultivation technique Chen Yu had long since prepared to try, but he did not find the right time, so while Lau Yinian was recovering, he could take the chance to carefully study it.    

This research lasted for an entire day.    

On the morning of the second day, Wu Dingxin sensed something. He put away his Stellar Soul Scripture and turned to look at Lau Yinian.    

Lau Yinian strode toward Chen Yu.    

"Old Liu?" Seeing that Lau Yinian's complexion had improved quite a bit, Chen Yu called out, took out a jar of wine and handed it over.    

After sitting down beside Chen Yu, Lau Yinian had a complicated expression on his face as he said, "Chen Yu, let's bid our farewells here!"    

"Hmm? "Why?" Chen Yu suddenly opened his eyes wide, revealing a look of disbelief, "Didn't you want to go to the Ancient Desert Palace, and want me to help you fight for the Spiritual Soul?"    

Lau Yinian drank a mouthful of wine and said, "I've changed my mind!"    

"Why?" Chen Yu asked again.    

Lau Yinian shook his head and said, "Chen Yu, three days ago, I thought I was dead for sure. I didn't expect you to survive by fighting to the death. To be honest, when you stole the Blazing Flame Spiritual Soul, even though I felt that you weren't weak, I thought that what was stronger was luck. Only now do you know that my strength is far inferior to yours! "    

Chen Yu couldn't help but laugh, "What nonsense are you talking about? What does this have to do with strength? "    

"We've killed so many disciples of the branch sects. The following days will not be easy!" Lau Yinian said, "We are separated. Our target is relatively smaller. Also, I need to increase my strength as soon as possible, because I can't rely on you to save my life. City Battle Trial is not only a selection, it is also an opportunity to raise your strength. Although Spiritual Soul s are important, if you are too obsessed with Spiritual Soul s, it will only make up for your losses! "    

The smile on Chen Yu's face faded and gradually became more serious.    

After a while, Chen Yu said, "Since you've made your decision, I won't force you!"    

Chen Yu knew that Lau Yinian wasn't afraid, nor was he afraid of being implicated, but chose to walk his own path.    

Anyone who wanted to become a strong martial artist had to have a determination in themselves and seek their own path. On this point, Lau Yinian had obviously felt it.    

"Thank you!" Lau Yinian smiled as he took a gulp of wine.    

The pot of wine was quickly finished. Chen Yu did not say much and took out the spoils of war from three days ago, passing the five Flying Dagger s and the other half of the Medicine Pill's true equipment to Lau Yinian.    

Lau Yinian said, "These things should all belong to you!"    

"Old Liu, if you say that again, don't blame me for falling out!" Chen Yu pretended to be angry.    

Lau Yinian smiled and no longer refused.    

"Then, take care!"    

"Take care!"    

With a simple 'take care of yourself', Chen Yu didn't say anything unnecessary and also didn't have any wishes. He then turned around and left.    

Martial arts only competed with each other. The path of martial arts was filled with thorns and thorns. Most of the time, it was just walking alone!    

Two days later, Chen Yu, who was sitting cross-legged at the edge of the forest, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes flashed with blood-red lightning.    

With a thought, a refined aura began to circulate around his body. Like an invisible sword Qi, it wantonly cut through the surrounding vegetation, causing the grass and wood to fly into the air.    

Second level of the Heavenly Astral Stage!    

After a while, the sharp look in Chen Yu's eyes receded, and the flow of qi around his body started to merge with his body, sinking into his dantian.    

With the help of a grade four pellet, Chen Yu only needed less than a month to break through from the first level of Heavenly Astral Stage to the second level!    

Chen Yu stood up with the Sparrow Fire Sword s and Wind Stabilization Blade s wrapped in cloth behind his back. He jumped up, passed through the forest, and walked through the mountain ranges and hills.
