The ferry's journey afterwards was uneventful.
Huangli Realm's reputation was gradually rising, mainly because a mentally unstable genius had emerged.
It was true that his mental state was not very good, but that did not mean this genius had poor intelligence.
The Great Elder of Dou Realm was the best proof. He tried to deceive that genius with some misleading words, but ended up being heavily injured by a punch.
After an examination, it turned out that there were not actually any punch wounds, not even many thunder injuries.
The main manifestation was that his flesh was blasted into fragrance.
So it seemed that this mentally abnormal genius cultivator of Huangli Realm should be a cultivator who specialized in thunder laws.
Looking at the grade of his protective thunder, his combat power should be at the pinnacle of the Being Filled Heaven Realm, already one of the top combat powers in the Great Death Realm.
Thinking of this, cultivators from the other two realms found it somewhat unacceptable.
How could it be Huangli Realm?
How could it be Huangli Realm?
Two consecutive questions proved that the elders of the other two realms really could not accept it.
They had planned and calculated that they could suddenly attack and dismember the entire Huangli Realm during the journey, splitting the gains fifty-fifty.
But Huangli Realm seemed to have walked into good fortune, suddenly producing such a so-called top-level genius, disrupting their plans.
They were extremely indignant, but could only restrain themselves.
On the Huangli Realm's ferry.
After traveling for three months, there was another guest outside Chen Xia's residence, with rather light footsteps. She knocked twice on the door, then fell silent.
Chen Xia was now in a serious rebellious period, mainly manifested in a cold war with himself, with arms crossed and not saying a word.
The knock at the door interrupted this cold war.
The heart devil and Chen Xia still wore the same pants after all. Naturally, they would unite against outsiders when someone else appeared.
"Who is it?" he asked.
"Qing Xia, genius of Huangli Realm," a crisp female voice sounded from outside the door, neither humble nor pushy, but very calm.
"What do you want?" Chen Xia asked again.
"I have some news to bring to you. Elder Xuan Li is not convenient, so he asked me to come," the female voice continued.
"Oh, then go ahead," Chen Xia nodded, showing no intention of letting the woman in at all.
It had to be said that he was capable of easily doing things that ordinary people could not.
The voice outside was also stunned for a while, and then really started talking.
"Regarding the Dead Sea Star River you want to go to, if everything goes smoothly, it will probably take about three more years to arrive."
"You mean things might not go smoothly?" Chen Xia frowned and asked.
"Star region turbulence, ambushes by other cultivators, flood of dead souls, etc., these are sudden events in the death star realm that cannot be calculated, and the occurrence of any one would greatly delay the journey, or even lead to the disappearance of one's Dao and death."
Qing Xia replied, and added: "So the stars leading to the Dead Sea Star River may be delayed by a few more years, but you don't have to worry, because the largest ruins in the Dead Sea Star River only opens once every thirty years."
"If you want to find cultivators from Immortal Realm, you should be able to make it."
"Well, as long as I can make it, I won't ask you guys to go faster," Chen Xia was still very reasonable.
Qing Xia hesitated for a moment, then said again, "Some news has come from the Dead Sea Star River recently, all about the geniuses of higher realms. I don't know if you want to hear it."
"Go ahead," Chen Xia sat cross-legged and tapped his knees with his hand.
Qing Xia sorted out her thoughts and began to tell him.
"Because too many geniuses have accumulated in the Dead Sea Star River, it is said that positions are now being assigned according to strength. The stronger the genius, the closer their position to the ruins."
"This unavoidably leads to battles. The most eye-catching battle was last month's battle between the Divine Realm Prince and the Heaven Realm Little Heavenly Emperor."
"These two are extremely powerful geniuses. When they battled, their supernatural powers were fully utilized, shattering the void and revealing the Great Dao..."
"Who won?" Chen Xia interrupted directly and started asking about the outcome.
Qing Xia was taken aback. She felt that if she was telling a story to him, it would definitely be very cost-effective.
She shook her head and said, "No victory or defeat came out of the battle. Perhaps neither side went all out, after all it was not a life-or-death battle, so there was no need to reveal their hole cards."
"After that, the Divine Realm Prince provoked Xuan Zhen of Immortal Realm again, and the two exchanged a total of seventeen moves. The first fifteen moves were equally matched."
"On the sixteenth move, it seemed that real fire broke out. The Divine Realm Prince summoned the full might of the Golden Divine Spear, said to rival immortal treasures, and nailed Xuan Zhen of Immortal Realm back hundreds of miles away, blasting open the stars."
Qing Xia paused here and raised her tone slightly to build up the atmosphere.
"The seventeenth move was the deciding move of the battle. The Prince shot to kill again with the Golden Divine Spear, while Xuan Zhen of Immortal Realm took out a heart feather of the Eternal Divine Phoenix and turned it into three thousand killing boundaries to trap and kill the Divine Realm Prince. When the two clashed..."
"Who won?" Chen Xia interrupted again.
He really cared a lot about the outcome.
Qing Xia smiled helplessly again. "The information received didn't say who won, only that both sides suffered some minor injuries, with little impact, as the price to pay for the initial probing."
"These three geniuses are now the top existences in the Great Death Realm. Geniuses below them have to be placed on a lower step before clashing with them."
"But according to other top powers' guesses, there should be a few more geniuses on the same level as them, such as the Little Supreme of Supreme Realm, the Lord of Thousand Stars of Twilight Realm, the Myriad Forms Demon of Void Realm, etc."
"Which step are you on?" Chen Xia suddenly asked.
The scene fell silent again.
Qing Xia stood outside, shaking her head helplessly. "I should be on the last step."
Because Huangli Realm itself was the last realm.
"Why don't you move up? Is it because you don't like it?" Chen Xia asked again.
Qing Xia could still only smile helplessly, bowing her head without answering.
The answer was obvious.
It was because she didn't have the ability.
And it was precisely because she didn't have the ability that the entire Huangli Realm wanted to curry favor with Chen Xia.
It couldn't even be considered currying favor, at most mutual benefit.
Chen Xia had gotten on the ferry, and also agreed to protect them twice.
For such a powerful cultivator like Chen Xia, this was actually a huge concession to them already.
Because the weak did not have the qualifications to negotiate terms with the strong at all.
Chen Xia could have killed all Huangli Realm cultivators, seized the ferry, then asked cultivators from the other two realms to take him to the Dead Sea Star River.
Looking at it this way, Chen Xia was quite reasonable, at least he had not committed murder and plunder.
"I'll take my leave first, sorry to disturb you," Qing Xia said again.
"Goodbye," Chen Xia replied flatly.
From beginning to end, Qing Xia was never able to see Chen Xia's face.
The not-so-thick door kept her and Chen Xia firmly separated.
Since Chen Xia did not open the door, she did not have the authority to push it open, so she could only stare blankly at the door panel as she spoke.
Qing Xia did not blame anyone, because these were the prices she had to pay for not being strong enough.
She gritted her teeth tightly and whispered to herself.
"I deserve it."
But Chen Xia did not think so much about it.
He was still at odds with himself!

uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
