We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

Upon arriving at the city gate, Su Chen was secretly amazed. Even the city gate guards were quite powerful, possessing the strength of the Longevity Realm.

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. The front line is the fortress and border that defends against countless worlds. If it doesn't have strong strength, wouldn't it be breached in no time?

He didn't care. After being stopped by the guards, he took out the certificate he had obtained from Yang Jiu. With this certificate, he could prove that he was a disciple of the Ziyang Sect. Sure enough, after seeing the certificate, the guards did not stop Su Chen, but let him enter.

Before even entering the city gate, Su Chen saw a thin halo of light standing in the middle of the city wall. From a distance, it looked like a giant bowl upside down in Shengyuan City. He knew that this was the protective formation of Shengyuan City. In addition to resisting the invasion of demons, it could also identify demons, and it had many uses.

This is why the guards allowed Su Chen to enter after confirming his identity. After all, any demon who dares to infiltrate Shengyuan City is incredibly audacious and powerful, far beyond the guards' ability to identify. Only by relying on the formation can they be identified.

Upon entering the formation, Su Chen immediately felt a hidden power sweep over him, penetrating his entire body. It only lingered for a moment before disappearing. Once this power vanished from Su Chen's body, the hidden powerhouse withdrew its gaze and tacitly approved Su Chen's entry.

After entering the city, Su Chen, being a worldly man, was not overwhelmed by the sights. Looking around, he planned to find a shop to buy a map of the city so he could find out the location of the Ziyang Sect.

This is something that every martial artist who comes to Shengyuan City for the first time must do. There's no other way; Shengyuan City is too big. Without a map, not only outsiders but even those who have lived in the city for a long time might not know the location of all the forces. At this time, a map becomes the best option.

"Huh, the Wan Hai Chamber of Commerce?"

Scanning the area, a familiar name caught Su Chen's attention. He hadn't expected that there was a Wan Hai Chamber of Commerce in Sheng Yuan City.

Without hesitation, Su Chen turned and walked towards the Wan Hai Chamber of Commerce. Not long after, Su Chen walked out of the Chamber of Commerce.

At the Chamber of Commerce, Su Chen not only exchanged his hundreds of thousands of Yellow Yuan Pills for Pure Yuan Pills, but also purchased a complete map of Saint Yuan City and inquired about the Divine Power Fruit.

To his surprise, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce offered to sell Divine Power Fruits. However, each Divine Power Fruit was very expensive, with prices varying depending on its quality. The lowest price was 100,000 Pure Yuan Pills, while the highest could reach 500,000 Pure Yuan Pills, making it quite pricey.

Of course, you need to make an appointment in advance to buy it. Even in the ten holy cities, the Divine Fruit is very scarce. You can't buy it without an appointment, and even if you make an appointment, you may still have to bid. This is why there are such big differences in the price of the Divine Fruit.

"I currently have 730,000 Pure Yuan Pills and ten supernatural abilities. Except for the Soul Searching Technique, which has reached its limit, the others are basically just at the beginner level. 700,000 Pure Yuan Pills are simply not enough to cultivate even one supernatural ability to its limit, and the same amount is even more so when spread out. This is a bit of a problem..."

After much deliberation, Su Chen finally decided on the Greater and Lesser Divine Abilities. The reason was simple: this divine ability enhanced other divine abilities, and with the help of the Primordial Chaos Power, he could effectively conceal it and prevent others from discovering it. Cultivating other divine abilities might expose his identity and bring trouble upon himself.

On the way to the Ziyang Sect, Su Chen took out 690,000 Pure Yuan Pills to upgrade the Small Ruyi, bringing its progress to 70%. In terms of successful cultivation, that would be the Great Completion Realm, and its power would increase dramatically.

"I wonder what the Ziyang Sect in Shengyuan City is like? With my strength, can I become a true disciple? After entering the Ziyang Sect, I need to hurry up and earn Pure Yuan Pills. This place is not like the interior of the Ten Directions World. It is very chaotic, and alien races invade from time to time. If I want to live here, I need to become stronger."

As Su Chen traveled, he pondered the situation and unknowingly arrived at the outside of a towering mountain. The mountain was lush and verdant, shrouded in white mist, like a fairyland. Martial artists, strange beasts, and divine weapons flew in the sky from time to time. Judging from its size alone, it was extraordinary and worthy of being one of the top five forces in Shengyuan City.

"Halt! Who goes there? State your name!"

As soon as he entered the mountain area, two martial artists came out from the mountain gate, stopped Su Chen, and questioned his identity.

Su Chen only needed to glance at them to realize that the two were stronger than the guards of Shengyuan City, and that they had one foot in the Divine Power Realm.

"I belong to the Ziyang Sect within the Ten Directions World. I have come here to return to my sect."

Although the Ziyang Sect within the Ten Directions World is the main base, the Ziyang Sect at the front line is stronger. Therefore, even if the Ziyang Sect from the Ten Directions World comes, they still need to wait for the other party to verify their identity before they can enter.

"The Ziyang Sect of the Ten Directions World? Strange, wasn't it agreed that a new batch of disciples would be sent every fifty years? It's only been less than thirty years, and they've already sent another batch, and it's just one person." Hearing Su Chen's words, the two guards exchanged a glance, both of them seeing doubt in his expression.

However, they did not make things difficult for Su Chen, but replied, "Please wait a moment while I verify this."

"Thank you for your trouble," Su Chen said politely, then fell into a state of waiting.

The other guard beside him was not good at talking; he only glanced at Su Chen a few times without speaking to him.

A short while later, the disciple who had left returned, followed by a silver-haired elder.

"Elder Lu, this is the person. He said he came from the Ziyang Sect of the Ten Directions World, and he also has identification documents on him."

Elder Lu nodded, then looked at Su Chen and asked, "You are the disciple recommended by Yang Jiu, are you named Su Chen?"

"Indeed!" Su Chen cupped his hands in greeting. The person before him was very strong, surpassing Qing Zhi and probably already beyond the Great Perfection of Divine Power.

Elder Lu did not readily believe Su Chen's words. After questioning and investigating him, he confirmed Su Chen's identity: "Come with me."

After saying that, he led Su Chen into the mountain, saying as they flew, "I'll take you to Dengyang Hall to register your identity and get a token so that you can move around the sect in the future. Since you are a disciple of Ziyang Sect, you should know the importance of the identity token. Without an identity token, you can't move an inch in Ziyang Sect."

He paused for a moment and looked at Su Chen: "I heard from Yang Jiu that you have reached the Longevity Realm. The Longevity Realm is very strong in the Ten Directions World, but it is at the bottom here. You should have felt this as you have come this far."

Therefore, I must remind you that within the Ziyang Sect of the Ten Directions World, you are a disciple of the Peak Sect with a noble status. However, here, you may still be an inner disciple, but your status is not noble. This is because there are countless inner disciples here. Only by breaking through to the Divine Power Realm and becoming a True Disciple will things be much better.

You need to be mentally prepared for this. I believe that Yang Jiu recommended you because you must have extraordinary talent and temperament. So even if you stay in the inner sect, you can rise up and break through quickly.

Of course, you shouldn't underestimate the status of an inner disciple. The resources on the front lines are much richer than those in the Ten Directions World. Even inner disciples can obtain a lot of resources, such as Pure Yuan Pills. Inner disciples receive 10,000 Pure Yuan Pills every month, and those who become true disciples receive 50,000 Pure Yuan Pills.

"Dengyang Palace is just ahead. Let's go down."

Elder Lu spoke at length, but he hadn't yet discerned Su Chen's true strength. Su Chen listened intently, primarily focused on the benefits for core disciples. When he heard about the 50,000 Pure Yuan Pills per month, his eyes lit up.

Unexpectedly, the benefits for the true disciples of the Ziyang Sect are surprisingly good.

Elder Lu arrived at a mountain peak, where a magnificent palace stood atop it. The plaque above the palace bore the three gilded characters "Dengyang Palace," exuding an aura of majesty.

After entering the main hall, Elder Lu found an old man registering the information and said, "Elder Liu, this person is a disciple from the main sect. He needs to register his information. Please register him."

"A disciple from the main sect?" Elder Liu was taken aback upon hearing this, and looked Su Chen up and down.

After a moment, he looked away and said to the two of them, "Wait a moment."

Rumble!
While they were waiting, suddenly, the entire palace began to shake slightly, and a powerful, thunderous shout came from outside the mountain: "Wu Mo of the Holy Origin Sect has come to visit the Purple Sun Sect. He requests that the Sect Master of the Purple Sun Sect appear to meet him!"

"Wu Mo? Why would he be here?" Elder Liu was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, but didn't pay too much attention.

Su Chen, however, narrowed his eyes slightly, a guess forming in his mind.

"You help him deal with this first, I'll go take a look!" Elder Lu said before leaving.

Both inside and outside the Ziyang Sect's mountain gate, everyone was startled by Wu Mo's voice and looked at the figure in mid-air. Their eyes revealed the same puzzled look as Elder Liu's, wondering what Wu Mo's sudden visit was for.

Before long, Elder Lu appeared outside the mountain gate. As the law enforcement elder of the Ziyang Sect, he held a high position and great power, and was naturally qualified to meet Wu Mo, who was also a law enforcement elder of the Shengyuan Sect.

Upon seeing Wu Mo, Elder Lu went straight to the point: "My sect leader is not in the sect. Wu Mo, may I ask what brings you here?"

Wu Mo knew that the other party's sect leader would not show up, so he didn't care that it was Elder Lu who showed up.

"Elder Lu, I've come to your Ziyang Sect to ask for a ruthless criminal!" Wu Mo stated his purpose.

"Need people? What kind of people?" Elder Lu frowned and asked in return.

"We need a disciple. He has just joined the Ziyang Sect. If my information is correct, this is his portrait!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Mo sketched Su Chen's appearance in mid-air, based on the latest information obtained by the Holy Origin Sect.

The Holy Origin Sect knew about Su Chen's entry into Holy Origin City immediately. The reason they didn't capture Su Chen right away was that they planned to investigate the sect behind him. When they learned that Su Chen was actually a disciple of the Purple Sun Sect, they were quite surprised.

However, they did not intend to let Ziyang Sect go. They would take this opportunity to teach Ziyang Sect a lesson. In recent years, under the leadership of Ji Ziyang, Ziyang Sect has become increasingly disrespectful to Shengyuan Sect. Now they even dare to allow their disciples to kill disciples of Shengyuan Sect. If they don't teach them a lesson, do they really think Shengyuan Sect won't dare to do anything to them?

That's why, upon receiving the news, he, as the elder in charge of law enforcement, immediately took action. His purpose was to force the Ziyang Sect to hand over Su Chen, so as to make an example of him and let others know the consequences of offending the Shengyuan Sect.

"This person is... Su Chen?" Elder Lu recognized Su Chen at first glance upon seeing the portrait, his face showing even greater confusion. "This person is indeed a disciple of my Ziyang Sect, but he only arrived at the Ziyang Sect today. What business do you have with him?"

"Hmph, Lu Hai, you know perfectly well why I asked. This man killed a true disciple of my Holy Origin Sect, and I was ordered to arrest him!" Wu Mo said coldly.

Upon hearing Wu Mo's words, Elder Lu did not immediately refute them, but was somewhat surprised.

He had just sensed Su Chen's strength and it was undoubtedly at the Longevity Realm. But now the other party was telling him that Su Chen had killed a true disciple of the Holy Origin Sect. You must know that a true disciple of the Holy Origin Sect is at least a martial artist who has achieved minor success in supernatural powers. If Su Chen was really a martial artist at the Longevity Realm, how could he possibly kill a martial artist at the supernatural power level?

Unless Su Chen is hiding his strength, he is not a martial artist at the Longevity Realm!
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through his mind, and his brow furrowed slightly.

It wasn't because of Su Chen's strength, but because of Wu Mo's accusation.

If Su Chen really killed the true disciple of the Holy Origin Sect, this matter will probably not be resolved so easily.

However, he did not believe the other party's one-sided story, after all, in recent years, the Shengyuan Sect and the Ziyang Sect had been quite at odds.

Elder Lu then asked, "Wu Mo, you keep saying that my Ziyang Sect disciples killed your Shengyuan Sect's true disciples, do you have any evidence?"

"Evidence? Lu Hai, you can't possibly be unaware that someone within my Holy Origin Sect has mastered the technique of tracking primordial spirits, can you? If you don't believe me, summon him out, and I will personally interrogate him until he tells me everything completely, without hiding a single detail."

Wu Mo snorted coldly, his tone carrying a hint of aggressiveness.
"Wu Mo, I advise you to hand him over quickly, lest it damage the friendship between our two sects. This man dared to kill a disciple of my Holy Origin Sect. Even if he hides in the Purple Sun Sect or escapes to the Asura Realm, my Holy Origin Sect will capture him and bring him back!"

Elder Lu remained silent. This matter was of utmost importance, and he needed to handle it with caution. A misstep could trigger a war between the two major sects.

Just then, a clear and gentle voice came: "Elder Lu, since Elder Wu Mo said that this person killed their Holy Yuan Sect disciple, then let him come out and confront him."

"Bi Tianyu!" Elder Lu's expression changed slightly upon hearing the voice of the newcomer.

This person is the first true disciple of the Ziyang Sect, and his strength is no weaker than his. He has already reached the realm of perfect supernatural powers. More importantly, he is one of the popular candidates for the successor of the Ziyang Sect, and his power is no less than his.

Now that even he had said so, Elder Lu couldn't very well refuse him, so he could only nod, glance at Wu Mo, and then vanished to the Ascending Heaven Hall to bring Su Chen out.

Upon seeing Su Chen, Wu Mo's eyes narrowed instantly, and a powerful aura emanated from him, compressing the air and invisibly enveloping Su Chen. He took a step forward, and a deep, thunderous voice boomed out:
"Su Chen, you killed a disciple of my Holy Origin Sect! What is your crime? Today I will capture you and take you to the Holy Origin Sect to confess your guilt!" (End of Chapter)
