Ascending to Godhood: I Can Foresee All Futures

[Mental Realm: First Level (418/500)]

[Blood Slaughter Floating Light Body: Perfection (720/2000)]

[Six Paths True Scripture - Profound Mastery Chapter: Minor Achievement (3/500)]

Glancing at the progress on the Celestial Book’s panel, Chen Sheng inwardly shook his head.

Cultivation in the Mystic Realm was indeed much more difficult than in the Innate Realm. Even with his abundant resources, his progress was still sluggish. At this rate...

...to reach the peak of the Primordial Sea Realm, even if he cultivated diligently every single day, would still take nearly two years.

Such a pace might be considered fast for other Martial Artists in the Mystic Realm, but for Chen Sheng, it was unacceptable. After all, his Cultivation had always progressed at a rapid rate.

And with the panel’s existence, he didn’t have to worry about his foundation being unstable.

To maintain his previous rapid rate of cultivation, he would still need the aid of exceptionally rare and precious natural treasures.

The same was true for his Mental Realm.

Chen Sheng was even considering cultivating one or two more top-tier Sword Skills. As long as he mastered them to the Perfection stage, he could rapidly advance his Mental Realm.

As he was contemplating, Chen Sheng’s brow twitched. His gaze flickered to the shadows several dozen yards away, and a smirk played on his lips.

"Since you’ve come all this way, why bother hiding?"

The surroundings remained silent, as if Chen Sheng were merely talking to himself.

"I’ve been waiting here for you for quite some time!"

Chen Sheng added a moment later.

"Waiting for me for quite some time? Aren’t you a bit too arrogant?"

A rustle came from the shadows. Gu Shuangjia, clad in black robes and with a gaunt face, emerged. His eyes swept over Chen Sheng as he let out a cold sneer, a murderous glint in their depths.

"I’ve already scouted the area. Aside from a few maids and guards, there are no troops lying in ambush. You’ve got some nerve, daring to put on a brave front at a time like this."

"I won’t mince words. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll surrender without a fight. That way, you might save your own life. But if you refuse to see reason, don’t blame me for being merciless."

Gu Shuangjia snorted, his tone dripping with condescension.

It was as if Chen Sheng was already a fish in a barrel to him.

"Hahaha...."

Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng burst out laughing, but his eyes held a chilling coldness.

"Then why don’t you stop and think? Why are there so few people around? If things weren’t like this, how else could I have lured you out to make your move?"

Hearing this, Gu Shuangjia’s expression changed abruptly, and his wary gaze swept the surroundings.

"Don’t bother looking. The only one setting an ambush today is me."

Chen Sheng slowly rose. The next moment, without another word, he took a sudden step forward. The terrifying might unique to the Mystic Realm instantly erupted from his body as he raised a hand and formed a Seal Decision.

A tiger’s roar erupted.

A tiger-shaped Dao Seal instantly shot toward Gu Shuangjia.

It was none other than the West Pole White Tiger Dao Seal from the Six Paths Primordial True Scripture.

And its power was even greater than before.

"What?! The Mystic Realm?!"

The moment Chen Sheng revealed his Cultivation, Gu Shuangjia’s face contorted in shock. He never imagined that Chen Sheng, whom he had dismissed as a junior in the Innate Realm, had actually broken through to the Mystic Realm.

It was simply unbelievable!

After all, as far as he knew, it had only been two months since Chen Sheng had broken through to the Profound Gang stage.

How could he possibly have broken through to the Mystic Realm so quickly?

Unfortunately for him, it was a question he was fated never to have answered.

But Gu Shuangjia was a veteran Mystic Realm expert for a reason. Despite his shock, his years of combat experience allowed him to react instantly. Facing Chen Sheng’s attack, he thrust both palms forward.

His Gang Qi surged around him, and an earthen-yellow wall of energy instantly materialized in front of him.

With a loud BOOM, both attacks dissipated into nothing.

The next instant, Gu Shuangjia stepped forward, the Spiritual Blade in his hand trembling slightly. With a powerful swing, he brought the blade slashing down on Chen Sheng.

"So what if you’ve broken through to the Mystic Realm? You won’t escape death today!"

Chen Sheng’s breakthrough to the Mystic Realm had completely ruined his initial plan of capturing him alive. Against an opponent in the same realm, he knew he couldn’t capture him; at best, he could only hope to inflict a serious wound.

About this, at least, Gu Shuangjia was somewhat confident.

After all, he refused to believe it. ’How could Chen Sheng, who just entered the Primordial Sea Realm, possibly contend with a powerhouse like me, who stands at the very peak of the Primordial Sea Realm?’

Chen Sheng sneered but didn’t respond. A dragon’s cry rang out from his waist as the Dragon Roar Blade was suddenly unsheathed. In an instant, a chilling glint of steel flashed forward, slashing toward his opponent.

BOOM!!!

BOOM!!!

In an instant, Chen Sheng and Gu Shuangjia were locked in a fierce battle. Explosive booms echoed through the air as the shockwaves from their clash radiated in all directions, leaving the entire backyard of the City Lord’s Mansion in complete ruins.

Gleams from the blades swept out as torrents of Gang Qi converged.

The two figures constantly crisscrossed in mid-air, each collision erupting with a terrifying roar.

As the fierce battle raged on, Gu Shuangjia grew increasingly alarmed with every passing moment, his shock turning to horror.

He had assumed that with his strength, suppressing a junior who had just entered the Mystic Realm would be a simple matter. He thought that even if he couldn’t capture him alive, he could at least force him to flee in a panic.

But the result left him utterly astonished.

The strength Chen Sheng displayed was on par with his own—not the slightest bit inferior.

’He had been cultivating in the Primordial Sea Realm for many years!’

’His experience and strength were both extraordinary.’

’But Chen Sheng?’

’Even if he had peerless talent, he was still just a Martial Artist who had only just entered the Mystic Realm.’

This turn of events shook Gu Shuangjia to his core.

He even began to feel a faint sense of terror.
