Eternal Emperor's Path to Ascension-Chapter 312: Chu Hanling’s Background, His Deterrent Power

Chapter 312: Chu Hanling’s Background, His Deterrent Power

Not far from the village, hidden in the void, Jiang Ruyin quietly listened to the conversation happening between the men with furrowed brows, her mind racing.

Chu Hanling has already been accepted into the Dragon Catching Sword Sect, damn it...

I was still a step too late, nothing is going according to the original novel, I hate this world!

First that goddamn Righteous-Demonic War, which shouldn’t have happened so early on, then the appearance of that mysterious Eternal Lord, then Yan Jingfei becoming the Eternal Lord’s disciple, and now this, it’s all so messed up, none of that was in the original plot!

Now, there are even more chances of Chu Hanling meeting Yan Jingfei first!

She fumed internally before disappearing on the spot, going back towards the Great Jiang Immortal Dynasty.

Chu Hanling was originally an extremely important supporting character in the original novel, he had an extraordinary background and possessed exceptional talent, quickly rising through the ranks after being accepted into the Dragon Catching Sword Sect in a disciple recruitment event some years later.

He was also Yan Jingfei’s "master" in the previous timeline, as she mainly cultivated from his legacy after arriving in the Central Continent, but unfortunately, he had already fallen in a conflict with demonic cultivators before even reaching the Nascent Soul Realm.

Yan Jingfei, with his legacy as a foundation, was able to make her way to nearly the pinnacle of this world, reaching the peak of Immortal Ascension Realm, which shows just how terrifying Chu Hanling’s comprehension ability was.

In the novel’s timeline, Yan Jingfei cultivated to become a Golden Core Realm cultivator in less than a thousand years, much earlier than in the previous timeline, and also arrived at the Central Continent, joining the Dragon Catching Sword Sect when Chu Hanling was only at the Acquired Realm, even accepting him as a disciple.

This was not what Jiang Ruyin was worried about, after all, no matter how heaven defying Chu Hanling’s talent was, he ultimately needed time to grow to a level where he alone could threaten her, let alone the entire Great Jiang Immortal Dynasty.

What she was afraid of was Chu Hanling’s background, his parents!

To be more precise, it was his mother and the power behind him!

Eldest daughter of the Hidden Lu Immortal Family, the daughter of a Half Immortal, and a powerful Tribulation Transcendence Realm entity herself!

This indirectly made Chu Hanling the grandson of a Half Immortal, explaining his horrifying talent.

Right now, Yan Jingfei already had the mysterious and powerful Eternal Lord behind her, who was publicly recognized as the number one grand cultivator in the entire world, the only one worthy enough to be called an Immortal in the Mortal World.

If she were to gain the support of the Hidden Lu Immortal Family as well, then wouldn’t she have no chance to contend with her?

After all, Chu Hanling was a Heavenly Spiritual Root, with great chances of ascending, and he was also the only child of the Lu Family’s heiress. There was no way they wouldn’t support his master, who was now even the personal disciple of a figure like the Eternal Lord.

Although Chu Hanling died in the previous timeline and the Lu Family did not intervene for some unknown reason, or at least it wasn’t stated explicitly in the novel if they ever intervened, but Jiang Ruyin was certain that they were going to intervene in this timeline! 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Why?

Because in the original novel, after accepting Chu Hanling as a disciple, Yan Jingfei once faced a grave situation, confronting dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators at just the Void Refinement Realm, and it was Chu Hanling’s mother who came forward to help!

Although there were definitely going to be a lot of changes diverting from the original plotline, since Yan Jingfei, who should have been at most at the Innate Realm at this point in time, had already reached the Void Refinement Realm, Jiang Ruyin couldn’t afford to risk it in the slightest even more so because of these changes.

Her only advantage, knowledge of the future, was slowly disappearing just in the early to middle stages, she wasn’t sure what would happen when Yan Jingfei really attained the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, which was her highest peak in the novel’s timeline before her transmigration, not to mention her original peak cultivation, which was the Perfect Immortal Ascension Realm, after all, this was no longer a novel but the real world!

"But I still can’t contend with the Dragon Catching Sword Sect for Chu Hanling without an appropriate reason, they’re still a powerful force with Immortal Ascension Realm mighty figures..."

Grumbling inwardly, Jiang Ruyin began to contemplate her future actions after entering the territory of the Immortal Dynasty.

...

It had been 20 years since then.

Eastern Continent, in the Eternal Peak.

Tian Yongheng opened his eyes, not because he had broken through again, but because Mo Yuxin had come outside to visit him.

He decided to take a look, after all, he had almost reached the peak of Immortal Ascension Realm Late Stage, and it won’t be long before he could break through to the Grand Perfection, another decade at most.

By then, his strength would have undergone another leap, and he would truly have no rivals left in the Mortal World.

Even if he knew that he could suppress the entire Mortal World with a single palm right now, that didn’t mean his cautious nature had dissipated just because of the display of divine might that day.

On the contrary, he just realized how terrifyingly powerful were those Immortal Gods, he would have truly been unable to contend with the Archaic Forbidden Demon God had it not been for the Primal Dao Sword being raised to the level of a Dharma Treasure!

If just the Archaic Forbidden Demon God, at the lowest level of Immortal Gods, was like this, then what about the Sword Venerable who was truly the strongest in the Mortal World?

Tian Yongheng could still dare not contend with the Sword Venerable without the Primal Dao Sword. The gap between a mortal and an Immortal was far too vast to be bridged even with heaven defying talent.

Unless he reached the Half Immortal Realm.

Tian Yongheng had a feeling he would be able to contend with entities like the Archaic Forbidden Demon God without relying on the Primal Dao Sword as long as he reached the Half Immortal Realm, as for how true that actually was, he did not know.

At this point, he just knew that to face future calamities better, he had to continue getting stronger and stronger without stopping.

Only after becoming an Immortal God, no, after surpassing the Sword Venerable in cultivation will his heart truly feel at slight ease.

At this moment, Tian Yongheng finally cleared all his thoughts and stood up, vanishing on the spot.

On the other side, in an exquisite, ethereal gazebo in the midst of a lake brimming with Spirit Qi, countless rare and hard to find spiritual herbs floated around, with Spirit Beasts roaming the sky, looking like a true fairyland in the Mortal World.

Inside the gazebo, Mo Yuxin sat on a spirit wood stool, taking in her surroundings as she let out a sigh of disbelief. On the table in front of her was spiritual tea made from divine herbs and spirit medicine that even Nascent Soul Realm cultivators could hardly hope to encounter in the outside world.

Mo Yuxin could not believe just how quickly had the Eternal Peak risen to such a state that it now surpassed even the Qingyun Sword Sect by a huge margin.

Right now, the number of Void Refinement Realm great cultivators in the Eternal Peak exceeded ten, and it won’t be long before they surpassed the Qingyun Sword Sect.

As for cultivators of the Golden Core Realm and below, their numbers had long since surpassed all other forces in the Qingyun Region.

More importantly, there weren’t just one or two figures in the Eternal Peak comparable to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Existences like Lu Qingfeng, Yan Jingfei, and Tian Yunchen who could compare to Nascent Soul Realm despite only being in the Void Refinement Realm, and then there was Zhao Ye, a genuine Nascent Soul Realm expert who was invincible in the same realm.

She feared even her grandfather, who had been at the peak of Nascent Soul Realm for a long time, could compare to the much renowned Turquoise Lake Swordmaster Zhao Ye, specially since he had already demonstrated his strength by defeating several Nascent Soul veteran cultivators of the surrounding regions recently.

However, the most important of all, of course, was the influence of that figure standing behind the Eternal Peak, who could make all the major factions in the world bow their heads and not dare act out!

As long as he stood firm in heaven and earth, even if the skies fell, the Eternal Peak could still endure for countless years!

Just as Mo Yuxin was reminiscing about the past, a gust of wind blew past her and she absurdly raised her eyes, Divine Sense landing on a figure suddenly appearing in front of her.

It was, of course, Tian Yongheng.
