Two Realms: I Will Become the Immortal Emperor

Chapter 376: Chapter 347: Entering the Undersea Palace

During his time stationed in Faqian City, Xiao Chan had sent several messages.

First, he had successfully achieved Core Formation. The first thing he wanted to do after his breakthrough was to rush back to Jinyun Valley and help Chen Che guard it.

However, upon hearing this, Chen Che politely refused. He felt there was no need for such fanfare over a bunch of small fries; he alone was enough. Besides, the other man had just reached Core Formation and still needed to stabilize his realm.

So, Chen Che had him stay in Faqian City and keep an eye on Wanjia for him.

Therefore,

that led to the following messages about Wanjia:

Five days ago, Wanjia had suddenly appeared in Faqian City, supposedly to investigate the death of Bai Shibao.

But as he was leaving the city, he was suddenly ambushed by three Golden Core True Masters.

The scale of the battle was several times fiercer than Chen Che’s own fight outside Faqian City. When cornered, Wanjia not only used several Spiritual Artifacts to save his own skin but also employed a Golden Jade Abacus to publicly kill two of the Golden Core cultivators before successfully escaping.

This battle was witnessed by many.

Xiao Chan had even gone to track him down, but his target got away. It was only after returning to Faqian City that he heard the news: someone had recognized the abacus Wanjia used. It was none other than the Mystic Light Golden Bead Abacus belonging to True Master Duobao.

It was a special type of Magical Artifact, with very few of its kind in existence, which was why someone was able to identify it at a glance.

Afterward,

Xiao Chan made inquiries through various channels until he confirmed that Wanjia was indeed Duobao, at which point he immediately informed Chen Che.

"So it really is Duobao!"

Meng Qianxun sneered, but her expression quickly turned grave.

"I know he’s the type to hold a grudge over the smallest slight, but I never expected him to turn around and put a bounty on you in the Slaughter Tower. Now we’re sworn enemies, but with the Primordial Sect backing him, it won’t be easy to make a move."

Some things can be done, but not out in the open.

Duobao is a bona fide member of the Primordial Sect. His relationship with the Primordial Ancestor is like Chen Che’s with Ding Fei, Rong Zhongxuan, and Hu Yao; he’s considered one of the Sect’s Elders. If the truth ever gets out, Jinyun Valley will be finished.

"Add another million Spirit Stones to his bounty..."

Chen Che’s expression slowly composed itself as he said casually, "He’s caused me so much trouble. It’s only natural that I return the favor."

From the moment his name was posted on the Slaughter Tower’s list, he had suspected it was either Duobao or Ye Yuanji.

As for which one it was, it made no difference to Chen Che. At least this way, he knew he wouldn’t make a mistake when he sought his revenge.

Due to the Primordial Sect’s rules, his opponent couldn’t make a move against him openly either, which, unexpectedly, played right into his hands. The only unfortunate thing was that after the battle in Faqian City, his target had suddenly vanished.

Xiao Chan guessed that he had very likely returned to the Black Tortoise Calm Sea. The Golden Core cultivators of two sects were gathered there, including two at the Golden Core Great Perfection realm. It was definitely not a place one could just barge into.

Otherwise, he could have gone and ambushed him.

But it didn’t matter. He could afford to wait.

In the latter half of the year, he would directly begin his advanced studies. While it might not mean he’d get a ton of Cultivation Techniques, what he learned would at least be no worse than his current ones, and his strength would rise to another level.

In the meantime, he would cause his enemy some trouble to keep him from bothering him.

"I’ll put up three hundred thousand."

After hearing this, Meng Qianxun nodded slightly, knowing this was the best solution for now.

"If he dies at the hands of a Tribulation Cultivator, we can wash our hands of the whole affair. A problem that can be solved with Spirit Stones is no problem at all. What I’m most afraid of, though, is a problem that even Spirit Stones can’t solve!"

"When that time comes, I’ll take care of him myself."

Chen Che tapped his fingers.

...

...

"Daoist Brother Duobao, you don’t look well. Are you injured? Today is the big day for breaking the array. If anything goes wrong..."

Black Tortoise Calm Sea, Undersea Palace.

Ye Yuanji asked in a low voice.

Duobao, who usually had the bearing of a wealthy merchant, was now deathly pale, as if he had just recovered from a severe illness.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that he was injured.

It wasn’t just him.

Even the Primordial Ancestor glanced over, his gaze filled with scrutiny. After several consecutive attempts, the outer array of the Undersea Palace had finally been broken. To ensure there were no mistakes on the journey ahead, the Star-Picking Sect and the Primordial Sect had decided to rest for seven days.

As for Duobao, he had taken advantage of this break to make a trip to Faqian City.

"I ran into some minor trouble on the road, but it’s nothing serious..."

Duobao shook his head, his expression dark. "If I jeopardize this important matter, I am willing to take my own life to atone!"

"Mm."

Only then did the Primordial Ancestor nod slightly and say no more.

But Duobao couldn’t just swallow his anger.

Bai Shibao’s death was like losing an arm. On top of that, after being ambushed in Faqian City, he had been forced to reveal his trump cards. He was afraid his true identity had surely been exposed.

Although he wasn’t afraid of the consequences regarding his identity—after all, he had the Primordial Sect as his backer—the disadvantages still outweighed the advantages.

Because...

He had done too many things under the name ’Wanjia’. Once exposed, it would be very inconvenient for him to operate in the future. Moreover, if the Sect Leader found out about this, while the crime wasn’t punishable by death, he would inevitably face some form of punishment.

But what truly enraged him was the news he heard on his way back about the battle at Jinyun Valley.

Single-handedly slaying eleven Golden Core cultivators!

Many Foundation Establishment cultivators, and even some at the Golden Core realm, were supposedly terrified at the mere mention of his name. But he refused to believe it, thinking the reports of the battle must have been exaggerated. Yet, the facts told him otherwise: no one dared to take up the bounty anymore.

At the very least, all the Tribulation Cultivators at the Golden Core realm in the Jinyun Valley area were gone, wiped clean.

Of course.

He knew it was because the reward wasn’t high enough. If he threw in a few hundred thousand more Spirit Stones, bounty hunters would flock to it like moths to a flame.

’Spending a million Spirit Stones on some kid who just reached Core Formation isn’t cost-effective... With that many Spirit Stones, I’d be better off waiting for a chance to break through to Nascent Soul!’

After some serious consideration, Duobao concluded that it simply wasn’t a worthwhile deal.

Besides, those weren’t his only trump cards.

If all else failed, he could take action himself. Dealing with the kid would be as easy as reaching out and grabbing him.

Another three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly,

a powerful voice resounded:

"We have finished our recuperation. It is time to enter the palace!"

Duobao raised his head.

He saw the Sect Leader and Du Zhongyi, the Sect Leader of the Star-Picking Sect, landing together before the hundred-zhang-tall bronze gates of the Undersea Palace. Standing before the gate, the two Golden Core Great Perfection masters looked as insignificant as dust.

He immediately let out a long, turbid breath and transformed into a streak of Escape Light, appearing behind his Sect Leader.

"Open!"

With a deep shout, everyone erupted with their True Essence.

CRACK!

CREAAAK—

A deafening roar resounded as the bronze gates boomed open. The light of the array streamed from behind them, passing through their figures to cast colossal shadows that enveloped the entire area.
