Dashing Student Chapter 1497 1467: Flower of Breaking Barriers (2)

The sunset is as crimson as blood, and the scenery here seems like it will never change.

On the battlefield ahead, everyone is killing with red eyes, and there are few as clear-headed as Chen Nan. Most maintain a cautious attitude.

They use Taiyin to guard their Spirit Platform, preserving the last shred of clarity. Otherwise, they'd become one of those lunatics.

After all, this is the Asura Path in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the penalty for being battle-hungry!

Chen Nan quickly moved past these people, not intending to linger, but his ears suddenly caught a cultivator's conversation.

"Here's another formidable figure who can roam freely in a place like this; truly enviable."

One should know that ordinary cultivators, even those possessing Taiyin, must cautiously control it without wasting a bit, or they'll die within the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Only those cultivators with abundant Taiyin, who do not fear waste, can proceed without hesitation, and those able to possess a lot of Taiyin are no ordinary individuals.

"Isn't that right? I've heard they're hastily moving forward because they've discovered the Breakthrough Flower."

"Really? That's the main ingredient for refining the Breaking Infant Pill. Does it really exist here?"

Upon hearing the words "Breakthrough Flower," Chen Nan stopped in his tracks because he wanted it too!

The Xuanyuan Immortal Embryo Fruit, Enlightenment Dew, and Breakthrough Flower are the three main ingredients for refining the Breaking Infant Pill, each invaluable even in the Inner Sea.

Nascent Soul Realm cultivators hold such high status, not only due to their strength but because these three main ingredients are extremely hard to find, making the consumption of the Breaking Infant Pill very rare.

Chen Nan shot back swiftly, arriving before the cultivators who were talking just now.

"Is what you said about the Breakthrough Flower true?"

The cultivators looked at each other, unsure how to respond, mumbling worriedly about angering Chen Nan.

Seeing this, Chen Nan directly threw a few small bottles of Taiyin he had acquired at them. "Can you speak now?"

Receiving the Taiyin, they were instantly overjoyed and nodded hastily.

"Of course we can. We also heard it from others, who said this path of reincarnation is called the Asura Path, entering this path leads to battle-hungry and murderous emotions."

"Without Taiyin, one will fight endlessly here, but there's an exception: after countless battles, one suddenly awakens and lets go of attachments, only then can they regain clarity."

"However, once they regain clarity, they're no longer protected by the rules of the Six Paths of Reincarnation; if killed at this moment, they won't come back to life."

"These cultivators who regain clarity and are killed under such unique circumstances will become nourishment, and their corpses will sprout Breakthrough Flowers."

Hearing their explanation, Chen Nan realized why the Breakthrough Flower is so hard to find outside; it requires such stringent conditions to appear.

Thinking about this, he no longer lingered, thanked them, and flew toward the location of the Breakthrough Flower. Soon, he felt mana surging intensively.

When he neared, he saw cultivators engaged in battle. From the intense mana, he could sense these cultivators were incredibly formidable.

Among these people, he even recognized two acquaintances.

Feng Qingcheng and Xiao Jian.

The Young Master of Divine Phoenix City and the senior brother of Sword Cliff, currently confronting each other, each with followers from their respective forces, but far fewer than when they first entered the Secret Realm.

Everyone who entered the Six Paths of Reincarnation Secret Realm is assigned to different reincarnations.

In the midst of these cultivators, Chen Nan saw the corpse of a cultivator, upon which a small flower quietly bloomed.

The flower had thirteen petals, each one of different color, appearing quite peculiar, and its rich fragrance was clearly detectable even from Chen Nan's proximity.

Smelling the fragrance made him feel mentally invigorated, his mind clearer—a rather unique feeling.

If nothing else, this was indeed the Breakthrough Flower.

Chen Nan's arrival drew the attention of Feng Qingcheng, Xiao Jian, and others, but then they paid no heed, after all, in their eyes, Chen Nan was just a Sixth-Layer Golden Core Realm barbarian.

"Hey, big guy, come join forces with me; once we seize the Breakthrough Flower, I'll give you rich rewards, how about it?"

Feng Qingcheng was the first to speak, standing there boldly. But the guardian from the Secret Realm's entrance was now missing, likely dispersed among other reincarnations.

A young Sword Cliff disciple behind Xiao Jian hurriedly shouted: "Brother, don't listen to this woman; her cruelty is well-known!"

"Why not help us? Everyone knows Sword Cliff's reputation; while we can't give you the Breakthrough Flower, we definitely won't let you suffer any loss."

Only then did Chen Nan notice that Sword Cliff and Divine Phoenix City had already divided into opposing factions, and even those not from these forces would join either if interested in the Breakthrough Flower.

Seeing there were no Nascent Soul Realm cultivators here, Chen Nan was reassured and stared straight at the Breakthrough Flower in the center.

"I want the Breakthrough Flower too."

Feng Qingcheng immediately sneered coldly: "Barbarian, you're quite arrogant, thinking you can grab it with so many of us present? You simply don't regard us at all."

Chen Nan didn't respond verbally, but slowly grabbed the Silver Giant Hammer behind him to show his stance.

Instantly, the forces on scene split into three factions: Divine Phoenix City, Sword Cliff, and Chen Nan on his own.

"Courageous indeed."

Sword Cliff's senior brother Xiao Jian looked at Chen Nan appreciatively, nodding slightly, not hiding a bit of admiration.

"Woodhead, you really esteem this barbarian. He's just alone, how could he compete with us?" Feng Qingcheng sneered dismissively.

Xiao Jian's expression remained unchanged; no wonder he's called Woodhead, indeed there's no wrong nickname, just the wrong name.

"At least Zhang San dared to speak his mind. Would you dare to stand against everyone if isolated in such a situation? Courage is a vital quality for the strong."

His words were precise, yet they pleased Chen Nan greatly.

Feng Qingcheng glared, instantly furious: "I met this barbarian first, and now you're admiring each other? Enough nonsense; if you want the Breakthrough Flower, prove it with fists!"

Xiao Jian nodded slowly, a longsword exuding white light appeared in his hand. Its design was quite ordinary, but it had an exceptionally sharp aura.

The longsword was sharp, contrasting entirely with Xiao Jian.

For Sword Cliff, the sword is their weapon—solely cultivating the sword, without need for other arms.

Among sword cultivators, Sword Cliff is the most pure, embodying the elegance of ancient sword cultivators.

Yet watching Xiao Jian unveil his Lifebound Longsword, he suddenly remembered an interesting tale Wen Quan once shared outside the Secret Realm.

Sword Cliff might be strong, but they're also the poorest among all cultivators, exhausting all cultivation resources on their swords except those needed for personal cultivation.

Every Sword Cliff cultivator's Flying Sword is desired by all cultivators, but it's unfathomable how much precious material it takes to forge such a powerful sword.

"I agree."

Xiao Jian flipped his longsword, raising it slowly.

Feng Qingcheng's smile turned sharp instantly, as ardent scarlet flames suddenly appeared on her body, forming a Phoenix shadow behind her.

"Go forth, let Sword Cliff witness the might of Divine Phoenix City!"

The cultivators behind them charged at the opponent instantly, various mana emerged from their bodies, with Forceful mana waves spread like a tide in all directions!

Chen Nan stood there while the cultivators from Feng Qingcheng's side weren't about to spare him.

"Barbarian, being disrespectful to our Young Master, you'll pay with your life!"
