Dashing Student Chapter 1505 1471: Voluntary Death (2)

"Help me plant the Breakthrough Flower into the spirit field."

He said this in his heart, and the voice was directly transmitted to the Immortal Palace Space. Liu Feng, the assassin remaining here, hastily collected the bodies and planted two Breakthrough Flowers into the spirit field.

"Two Breakthrough Flowers? Is this thing so easy to find now?"

Looking at the thirteen vibrant colors of the Breakthrough Flower, Liu Feng felt a sense of absurdity.

Outside, after seeing Chen Nan's actions clearly, several people walked out, eager to use their own lives in exchange for protection for their family.

After their deaths, only one corpse did not sprout the Breakthrough Flower; Chen Nan speculated that this person did not wish to die but was forced into such desperation that he wanted to gamble.

Such a person cannot produce a Breakthrough Flower from their body.

But Chen Nan still collected his corpse, intending to return it to his family.

Liu Feng in the Immortal Palace Space was completely shocked. The Breakthrough Flowers, rare and sold at high prices at auctions, were being sent in as if they were worthless here.

In just a short time, he had already planted ten Breakthrough Flowers.

"Heavens, is this a resupply trip?" Liu Feng slapped himself hard, confirming he was not dreaming.

Chen Nan was quite satisfied with the harvest this time. Ten Breakthrough Flowers—if he couldn't use them later, he could sell them out; these things truly had a market price but no market availability.

He even had a bolder idea: to rapidly mature the Breakthrough Flowers with the spirit field and Time Domain and produce seeds.

By then, he would have an endless supply of Breakthrough Flowers.

Thinking about it, Chen Nan decided to keep the Shariputra away; now, even if someone wanted to sell their life to him, he would not accept it.

Seeing that he truly put away the Shariputra, many cultivators panicked, unwilling to return to a mindless state where they only knew how to fight.

But their hesitation cost them the last chance.

As Buddha Light faded, reincarnation descended upon this land again, and all cultivators instantly lost their minds, attacking one another like beasts.

Chen Nan quickly flew to the Bronze Gate, seeing the carvings depicting battlefield scenes on the bronze gate, where countless people were slaughtering each other.

Next to the gate was a stone stele recording this cycle of reincarnation.

Asura Path, the punishment of battle craving, a cage of battle will, endless.

To truly extinguish battle will and abandon obsession is the only way to be free.

But freedom does not mean leaving reincarnation; if you don't kill, others will kill you, so this is a cycle without solution!

...

Stepping into the Bronze Gate, as Chen Nan opened his eyes again, he was startled by the scene before him.

This was a massive building ruin, with collapse and remnant walls everywhere, filled with the marks left by time.

By now, quite a few cultivators had gathered here; compared to before entering the Secret Realm, about one-tenth had made it here.

Obviously, these people had already passed the previous five cycles, and this cycle was the last one.

Having gone through all cycles, no one knew what would happen next because those who left had no memory of the Secret Realm inside.

Chen Nan searched everywhere, hoping to find traces of Feng Qingcheng and Xiao Jian, but despite his search, he did not see them, causing him to frown.

"Could it be that they've already passed this hurdle?"

He walked forward through the crowd, realizing this cycle seemed to have no tests, until reaching the end when he learned what the test was about.

Dao Heart!

At the end, there was a bronze gate with a stone stele beside it.

"Heavenly Human Path, Dao Heart honing."

"To pass through reincarnation, one must abandon everything: cultivation, experience, wealth, family friends, abandon everything."

Chen Nan understood why so many people were here but none dared approach the bronze gate, because almost no one could pass this test.

The cultivators who managed to arrive here were all resolute, having overcome countless challenges to reach today.

Now, they were asked to abandon everything they had fought for; how could they be willing?

This was even denying everything they had done before!

In front of the bronze gate, Chen Nan saw several "acquaintances": Master Xiuku, Master Liehuang, Liu Sandao, and even Lan Zhenyue!

"Haha, I've been waiting a long time for you, Chen Nan!"

Lan Zhenyue walked over with a smile, yet his gaze was cold as ice.

When his clone perished, he received all of the clone's memories, naturally recognizing Chen Nan's true identity. Facing Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, it was too difficult to hide oneself.

"Where are they?" Chen Nan asked coldly.

"They're very well, how dare I touch them? A Sword Cliff Senior Brother, a Divine Phoenix City's Young Master, and you, the Second Palace Master of Moon God Palace."

Lan Zhenyue's face bore a smile, but his words were icy, full of murderous intent.

"You are indeed very skilled, not only dealing with the assassins from Yama Hall but also daring to kill my Jielin Demon Clan members. Truly bold, obediently, I can let you die quickly."

Chen Nan's face remained expressionless: "I want to see them."

"Of course you can, I want to send you off together anyway!" Lan Zhenyue laughed heartily, turning to walk in a less crowded direction.

He did not kill Chen Nan, Feng Qingcheng, or Xiao Jian in front of everyone to prevent any mishaps.

If someone witnessed and happened to retain their memory after leaving, he truly would have nowhere to stand; Sword Cliff, Divine Phoenix City, and even Moon God Palace were not places he could provoke.

Lan Zhenyue had absolute confidence in his strength, though only at the third layer of Nascent Soul Realm, he did not need to exert fully against three Golden Core Realm cultivators.

His clone was destroyed by them, merely because the clone was too weak.

Yet unknown to him, when Chen Nan left, a small Thousand Paper Cranes was left behind in its place. After they had walked far and were unseen, the Thousand Paper Cranes flew up, landing on Master Liehuang's shoulder.

Once distanced from the crowd, Lan Zhenyue brought Chen Nan to a desolate place, with barren, broken trees, and the ground devoid of grass, like a desert.

Feng Qingcheng and Xiao Jian were imprisoned here, their cultivation sealed, trapped within a golden barrier, like being covered by a large bowl.

"Lan Zhenyue! If you have the guts, kill me, or once I leave the Secret Realm, I'll grind your Jielin Demon Clan's bones!"

Upon seeing Lan Zhenyue, Feng Qingcheng immediately began to curse, appearing extremely angry. After seeing Chen Nan, she became even angrier.

"Barbarian, you fool, you got captured by him, don't ever say you know me, you're so stupid it's laughable!"

Xiao Jian, however, did not shout or cry out; even in such a situation, he remained calmly seated. But upon seeing Chen Nan, he let out a slight sigh.

If Chen Nan hadn't been captured, they might have remained safe.

After all, once Chen Nan escapes from the Secret Realm, Feng Qingcheng and Xiao Jian have not left, and their enmity with Lan Zhenyue would soon spread.

By then, the Jielin Demon Clan would truly be annihilated, leaving none behind!

"Haha, facing death you're still so volatile, Qingcheng niece, you're truly fearless of anything, but unfortunately Divine Phoenix City is about to lose its Young Master."

Lan Zhenyue smiled wickedly, scrutinizing Feng Qingcheng, unreservedly revealing his lust.

His eyes were keen, too; when Feng Qingcheng was silent, she was indeed a top beauty, though she had a sharp tongue.

"Don't look at me with those disgusting eyes, I'll gouge them out!"

Feng Qingcheng roared loudly, immediately diminishing her beauty.
