"Lu family you dare!

", Liu Nanxi cried out. There were several wounds around her body but she was least concerned about herself at this moment.

nShe looked at Shen Ruyan who was being chased by a peak Core Condensation warrior. Shen Ruyan's face was already pale as she was doing her best to maintain a distance from the chasing enemy.

nNo matter how much a prodigy she was, she couldn't match a peak Core condensation realm warrior with her first stage Core Condensation realm cultivation. Before she could run far, an attack crashed towards her back.

n'Pu!', Shen Ruyan tried to hurriedly dodge the attack but it still managed to penetrate her shoulder. Red blood sipped out as a large wound appeared on her shoulder.

n

"Bastard

", Li Han growled from a distance. As the leader of Shen clan cultivators, he felt furious when he saw Shen Ruyan being injured under his watch. But no matter how furious he was, he couldn't get away from his opponent who was also a peak fifth stage cultivator.

nAn attack flew towards him in a breathtaking speed. Li Han couldn't afford to become careless for a moment. He hurriedly shifted his attention towards the attack of his opponent.

nThe battle continued to escalate with each passing moment. But it was clear that Shen Clan group was at a disadvantage at this moment. After Shen Ruyan decided to enter the inheritance valley, Liu Nanxi immediately contacted the powerful members of their Shen clan group through communication tailsman.

nLiu Nanxi and Shen Ruyan entered first and and Li Han and the other fifth stage expert of Shen clan followed after them. Everything was going fine untill Shen Ruyan attempted to decipher the inheritance technique.

nWhen she tried to decipher the cultivation technique which was inscribed on a rock, the rock started to glow after staying without changes for sometime.

nIt immediately attracted the attention of Lu family cultivators who were also present in the valley. Lu Weifang, the second young master of Lu family tried to barge in but he was sent out by an invisible barrier.

nShen Ruyan heard a voice in her mind and sat crosslegged after hearing the instruction of the voice. The voice disappeared after imparting the technique but Shen Ruyan entered a selfless state after receiving the guidance of the voice.

nHer cultivation lasted for eight hours after which she walked out from the inheritance ground. But as soon as she walked out, she faced the covetous eyes of King family cultivators.

nAll the three level five experts of Shen clan was present but what was unexpected that even the Lu clan had three level five experts in their group. The group from Black rock castle was also present but they decided to stay neutral.

nThe strength of both Lu family and Shen clan was similar but the deciding factor was the fourth person who was a peak Core condensation realm warrior. So, Shen Ruyan had no choice but to flee from the valley.

nThe Shen clan cultivators wanted to follow Shen Ruyan but they were kept forcefully by the Lu family cultivators. They could only watch helplessly as the peak Core condensation realm warrior followed Shen Ruyan out of the valley.

nZhan Chen had no idea about the perilous condition of Shen Ruyan. Otherwise with his protective personality, how he could cultivate peacefully inside a cave!

nAt this moment, he was busy in refining the essence liquid of the Nirvana water lotus.

nZhan Chen's soul strength rose rapidly as he absorbed the pure energy coming from the Nirvana water lotus.

nIn this life, his soul was his ultimate trump card as it was the sage soul of his past life. Now that a chance to increase the power of his soul had come, he decided to do not waste any time.

nThe power of his soul increased greatly after he started to digest the energy of the Nirvana water lotus. His soul which was somehow withered before brimmed with vitality as he continued to absorb the gentle energy of Nirvana water lotus.

nZhan Chen opened his eyes after two hours. There was a smile plastered on his face as he could feel the changes in his soul.

nOthers may look baffled after seeing his absorption speed but Zhan Chen was aware about the prowcess of his own soul.

nHis soul strength had decreased after receiving grave injury in his past life but it didn't mean that it wouldn't recover. After refining suitable soul nourishing herbs, he could successfully recover his soul strength back.

nNow after absorbing the essence liquid of a grade six herb which could be compared to some grade seven herbs due to its awesome healing ability, Zhan Chen once again regained a great portion of his soul strength.

nLevel five cultivators were merely a child play to him now. Even level six cultivators could not compare because his soul strength had already climbed to peak of level six soul. He now only need a gentle push and he could leap into the realm of emperors in the soul strength.

nIt didn't mean he could rashly use his soul strength to dominate level six cultivators. It would be too strenuous for him to fight against a late stage level six cultivator. It was not because his soul was weak but because his body could not support such kind of strain of he use entirety of his soul strength. His body would be badly wounded if he unleash soul force out of the tolerance limit of his body.

nPreviously when he was a True essence realm warrior, he was already capable of subduing level five warriors. Now after reaching Core condensation realm, he could skip level five and try to subdue the early stage level six cultivators.

nGenerally no matter how frekishly talented a cultivator was, he couldn't match a level six warrior with the strength of a level five cultivator. Even a peak stage level five cultivator could not receive the blows of a early stage level six warrior. Because there was a fundamental difference between level five and level six.

nThe entire cultivation realms could be divided into three parts. First part could be termed as base level cultivation realms which included Essence gathering realm, Meridian opening realm and True essence realm. These three could be considered as introductory realms where one planted the foundation for cultivation journey.

nSecond part included the realms upon reaching which cultivators could be considered as a true cultivator. It was a common fact that in the fight between super forces, cultivation below Core condensation realm couldn't even considered as cannon fodder.

nSuch was the difference between base level and middle level of cultivation. It was difference between a novice and a true warrior.

nTen peak stage true essence realm warriors couldn't match a early stage Core Condensation realm warrior. From it one could see how much of a gap there was between base level and mid level. The mid level include fourth level- Core Condensation realm and fifth level-Martial ascension realm.

nAs for the third part it was called high level. It included sixth level and seventh level of cultivation. Just from the difference between True essence realm and Core Condensation realm, one could imagine how much difference there was between fifth level and sixth level warrior.

nSixth level and seventh level cultivators were generally called as king tire cultivators. These were the true backbone of any super forces of this world. From all these facts, one could imagine, how heaven defying Zhan Chen was at this moment.

nHe was only at level four, yet he could already subdue a level six warrior with his soul technique. When he was in the base level he could subdue a cultivator of middle level and now he was at middle level, he could subdue a cultivator of high level. It was a heaven defying prowcess which had no precedent in history of Northern desert continent.

nZhan Chen looked at Kai Min and she was still cultivating. It couldn't be helped as others were normal cultivators unlike himself. So, despite here Poisonous yin physique, Kai Min was taking her time to reach the second stage of True essence realm.

nZhan Chen didn't have to wait longer as Kai Min finished her cultivation after taking another hour of time. A smile blossomed on her beautiful face after she reached the second stage of True essence realm.

nShe smiled at Zhan Chen after seeing him looking at her. Zhan Chen felt infected by her joyous mood and decided to gave her a little kiss before leaving the cultivation cave.

nAfter sharing minutes of light passion, both Kai Min and Zhan Chen walked out of their seclusion cave. Zhan Chen chose a direction and walked towards it. Kai Min didn't have any opinion. So, she followed after Zhan Chen.

nAfter walking for some time, Zhan started to grow suspicious. It was the same when he left for taking a bath, he couldn't find a single cultivator in his surrounding.

n

"What is going on!

", Zhan Chen felt baffled for a moment.
