Chapter 33  Entering the Sacred Demon Mountain! Chu Tian Destroys the Blood Spirit Sect!

Chu Tian gently nodded his head. Then, he looked toward Lin Chen and Su Xiaorou and asked, “You two have nowhere to go now—are you willing to return to my sect with me?”

“I wonder what senior’s sect is…”

Su Xiaorou had just begun to speak when Lin Chen suddenly pressed her hand, signaling that he would answer instead.

Lin Chen said, “Senior, Xiaorou and I are both willing!”

He made the decision directly because many seniors tended to have eccentric personalities. Since this senior had already saved them and was now offering to take them in, asking too many questions might displease him.

“Very good.”

Chu Tian looked at Lin Chen approvingly and said, “In that case, you two are now disciples of Sacred Demon Mountain.”

“With your talents—especially you, Lin Chen—becoming a core disciple won’t be a problem!”

Lin Chen had top-tier Dao-grade talent and possessed the Thunder Battle Physique. Becoming a core disciple was practically guaranteed!

As for Su Xiaorou, Chu Tian had already reviewed her background. Her talent was second only to Lin Chen’s in Lantian Town, ranking at a mid-level Heaven grade. If things went well in the future, she could become a cultivator at the Heavenly Evolution Realm.

Bringing these two into the sect would surely please the Sacred Demon Elder—especially with the additional surprise—the remnant soul of a Sacred Sovereign!

That would make him even more delighted!

“Sacred Demon Mountain!”

“One of the nine supreme sects of the Great Ruins!”

Lin Chen and Su Xiaorou were both ecstatic. They hadn’t expected this senior to be a powerhouse from Sacred Demon Mountain—no wonder he was so incredibly strong!

Chu Tian nodded again and turned to look at the Sacred Sovereign’s remnant soul.

“Senior…”

The remnant soul rubbed his hands together, trying hard to appear kind and approachable.

“Your situation is rather special, and I’m currently pressed for time and cannot return to the sect immediately, so…”

Chu Tian turned to Lin Chen and said, “Lin Chen, from now on, this Sacred Sovereign’s remnant soul will follow you!”

“Huh?”

Lin Chen was stunned. He was being given the Sacred Sovereign’s remnant soul? Even though it wasn’t the full soul of a Sacred Sovereign, its cultivation techniques, insights, divine powers, and secret arts were all priceless treasures.

Especially in an era where Sacred Sovereigns were nearly extinct, this was even more valuable!

To have a Sacred Sovereign as a mentor—that was something most geniuses didn’t even dare to dream about!

“Senior, this is the remnant soul of a Sacred Sovereign. You should keep it.

His cultivation methods and knowledge will surely be of great benefit to you.”

“Perhaps he could even help guide you on your own path to sainthood!”

Lin Chen said earnestly.

He did indeed want the soul, but he also wanted to stay rational.

What if this was a test of his character?

He couldn’t risk failing that!

“Help me?”

Chu Tian chuckled and shook his head. At his level of cultivation, would he really need help from a remnant soul?

What could it do—drag him backward?

“That’s enough. I don’t need any of that…”

“Considering your talent and your future as a core disciple of my sect, I’m bestowing this on you. Don’t refuse.”

Before Lin Chen could respond, Chu Tian made a hand gesture, drawing the remnant soul towards Lin Chen.

“Relax your body and mind. Don’t resist.”

Lin Chen immediately obeyed, sitting cross-legged, closing his eyes, and doing his best to relax. Chu Tian placed his other hand on the crown of Lin Chen’s head. He applied a gentle force, then swiftly pulled back.

A faint, pale shadow was drawn out from Lin Chen’s body—It was his soul!

“Hurry, hurry, hurry! This Sovereign is about to be reborn!”

The Sacred Sovereign’s remnant soul showed no hesitation and was clearly thrilled. Moments later, it collided with Lin Chen’s soul.

Zzzt!

A white mist instantly formed between the two souls. Looking closely, it was clear that Lin Chen’s soul was too weak. Unable to withstand the fusion, parts of it began to evaporate!

“Ugh!”

Lin Chen frowned in pain, but he dared not forget Chu Tian’s words. He held fast to his true heart, relaxed his body completely, and allowed his soul to be taken over.

“Lin Chen… hang in there!”

Su Xiaorou watched anxiously, clearly very nervous.

“What are you grinning at? Hurry up and suppress your soul’s intensity—do you have a death wish?”

Chu Tian glanced coldly at the smirking remnant soul of the Saint Sovereign and scolded harshly.

“This humble one wants to live! I want to live!”

The remnant soul of the Saint Sovereign immediately restrained its soul intensity. But this only slightly slowed the rate at which Lin Chen’s soul was evaporating. Lin Chen, being only at the Yuan Vein Realm, had a soul far too weak!

Without reaching the Condensed Core Realm and opening his Sea of Consciousness, it was nearly impossible to withstand such a soul fusion. But of course, this was nothing for Chu Tian.

He exhaled a breath of celestial energy. The celestial energy floated around Lin Chen’s soul. The phenomenon of his soul evaporating disappeared instantly, and the fusion with the Saint Sovereign’s remnant soul began perfectly!

“My soul strength has instantly reached the Xuanfu Realm level!”

That breath of celestial energy from Chu Tian carried a sliver of his own soul power. Even that tiny bit, when fused with Lin Chen’s soul, instantly boosted it beyond the Condensed Core Realm—Reaching the strength of the Xuanfu Realm!

Lin Chen was quietly thrilled—this was an enormous opportunity!

Once the fusion with the Saint Sovereign’s remnant soul succeeded, Chu Tian retracted the celestial energy and returned Lin Chen’s soul to his body.

“Thank you, Senior!”

Lin Chen opened his eyes and immediately knelt in gratitude. These two opportunities were no less than a complete rebirth—they would surely shape his entire future!

“We are already disciples of the same sect. There’s no need for thanks.”

“If you really want to express your gratitude, then work hard for the sect in the future.”

Chu Tian waved his hand indifferently.

To him, it was just a small favor. The Saint Sovereign’s remnant soul was of no use to him, and there was no need to give it to Shi Hao. He could give Shi Hao something better—there was no need to risk misleading him with the remnant soul.

Besides, the Saint Sovereign’s remnant soul was in a special situation. Without finding a new host, it would soon dissipate. Even with Chu Tian’s power, he could only preserve it for a short while.

This time, his journey to recruit disciples might take several months. The remnant soul couldn’t last that long. It had to find a host to survive. Fortunately, Lin Chen was willing to join the Holy Demon Mountain. His aptitude was also decent—giving it to him wouldn’t be a waste of the remnant soul.

On the contrary, for Lin Chen, who already had a top-tier Dao-grade talent, having the Saint Sovereign’s remnant soul as assistance Might allow his future achievements to rival, or even surpass, Zhou Mingyu’s Saint-grade talent. Moreover, Lin Chen possessed a special physique. His future achievements were undoubtedly limitless!

Someday, in the ancestral tombs of the Holy Demon Mountain. It might be the resting place of a supreme powerhouse of unmatched heritage.

Before leaving Lantian Town, Chu Tian dispersed the surrounding heavenly secrets. Preventing others from divining what had occurred here.

Having learned from his last encounter with the Dao Miao Sect, he was much more cautious on this journey. Eliminating any and all potential risks of exposure, even the smallest possibility had to be destroyed before it could sprout.

After that, Chu Tian arrived at the Blood Spirit Sect. With a wave of his hand, he destroyed it completely and likewise dispersed the surrounding heavenly secrets.

The Blood Spirit Sect, though claiming righteousness, had committed countless atrocities. Their conduct was devoid of humanity. Chu Tian wasn’t overly compassionate, But even he was chilled to the bone by the tragedy in Lantian Town.

Such an evil sect should not exist in the world!

Destroying it was enough to save countless innocent lives!
