Chapter 105 Arrogance and Ignorance

d to before. If I go all out, I wonder how many floors I could clear"Su Xin had a glimmer of anticipation in her heart.The Zhenwu Pavilion examination doesn't look at cultivation, it only looks at ski...It took Xia Mang a long time to accept the fact that Su Xin had easily killed the three young men with blood hair.

He also learned from Duan Yunfeng that while he was exploring the Tian Shui Secret Realm, Su Xin had caused a stir within the Heavenly Flame Imperial Dynasty. He even directly killed a peerless expert at the Void-Breaking Realm!

Xia Mang only then understood why Duan Yunfeng, Mo Bing, and Ling Yu were so confident in Su Xin's strength.

“I thought I was ahead of Su Xin because I had spent months in the Tian Shui Secret Realm, reaching the later stage of Void Breaking first. My strength should have been slightly superior to his for a while. Unexpectedly, the gap has only widened since then. Xia Mang sighed softly, a sense of despair rising in his heart.”

Regardless of how remarkably Su Xin progressed, he always believed that he would one day catch up to Su Xin.

Now... he really had no confidence at all.

Su Xin is only at the middle stage of the Void Breaking realm, but his cultivation level is lower than his, yet he is so much stronger than him.

If they were on the same level in the future, there would be no comparison.

"Xia Mang, your friend is already dead. Why don't you join us in exploring the secret realm That way, we can look out for each other," Su Xin said.

"Good"

Xia Mang hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

The three beside him, Duan Yunfeng, Mo Bing, and Ling Yu, couldn't help but laugh upon seeing this.

With Xia Mang's addition, the team's overall combat strength was significantly enhanced. Over the next period, they continued to explore the first layer of the secret realm. When encountering strong opponents or competing for treasures, Su Xin rarely needed to make a move. Xia Mang and Duan Yunfeng, along with another teammate, were already capable of handling the situation.

Several days later.

"Gentlemen, goodbye. Good luck to you all."

Su Xin smiled and bid farewell to Duan Yunfeng, Xia Mang and a few others.

Duan Yunfeng and they naturally didn't want to part with Su Xin, this "super thigh," but they also knew that Su Xin was definitely going to venture into the second-layer secret realm.

If Su Xin's strength is only at the first level of the secret realm, it would be too invincible. If they continue to explore with them, it's fine for a short time, but in the long run, they will also feel no pressure and won't have the effect of training.

Moreover, with Xia Mang's addition, their team's strength has significantly increased. As long as they don't have exceptionally bad luck and encounter another terrifying powerhouse lineup like the three youths with red hair, they should be able to establish themselves within this first layer of the secret realm without any issues.

After parting ways, Su Xin went alone toward the entrance of the second level of the secret realm.

The entrance to the second layer of the secret realm was located in the very center of the first layer. Su Xin kept approaching the center of the secret realm, and after two days, he saw a spatial passage in an expanse of wasteland. Through the spatial passage, Su Xin directly arrived at the second layer of the secret realm.

……

If the first layer of the secret realm is a scorching midday sun,

Then this second hidden realm is an endless night.

The bright moon hung high, its moonlight bathing the ground of the second layer of the secret realm. This was the only source of light in this entire second layer.

Su Xin was suspended in a void, and his gaze swept across the surroundings, seeing many buildings. Some of these buildings had already collapsed or shattered, turning into ruins.

"This second layer of the secret realm, while called a secret realm, actually resembles an ancient ruin," Su Xin murmured.

He also knew that the second layer of the secret realm, although its area was less than one-tenth of the first layer, held more opportunities. Those who ventured into it were far fewer in number compared to the first layer, but each and every one was a true powerhouse.

Similar to the intelligence Su Xin had received at the camp previously, this included hundreds of top experts, including 138 Invincible Void Breakers. Over ninety percent of them were gathered within this second layer of the secret realm.

In the darkness, Su Xin slowly moved forward.

Because the area of the second-tier secret realm is relatively small, the probability of encountering powerful individuals is much higher than in the first-tier secret realm.

Moments later, Su Xin encountered a powerful team.

A team of four who have reached the peak of the Void Breaking Realm, though they haven't made a move yet so their exact strength is unknown, Su Xin could faintly sense that each of these four individuals were extremely powerful within the Void Breaking Realm. There might even be one or two among them with 'top-tier' combat power.

"A void-breaking mid-stage cultivator, just one person, dares to venture into the second layer of the secret realm What guts!"

This person should be a super genius meticulously cultivated by a certain imperial dynasty. Although their cultivation level is low, in terms of combat power, they might not be inferior to us at all.

"Hmph, even if he has the strength of the 'top tier', as a lone wolf, he'd still find it hard to move an inch in this second layer of the secret realm."

"Well, it doesn't matter what their abilities are, they have nothing to do with us. Let's go."

These four people only paused briefly, glanced at Su Xin a few times, and then left.

Evidently, not having seen enough profit with their own eyes, they weren't planning on making a move.

As expected, those who venture into the second layer of the secret realm are far more cautious than those in the first. They wouldn't make a move unless they had witnessed enough benefits or had a sufficient understanding of their opponent's strength. Su Xin smiled calmly.

Like these four people just now, they were all peak-stage Void Breakers with immense strength. When they encountered me, a mere mid-stage Void Breaker, not a single one of them wanted to make a move to kill me and take the treasure.

"And as the intelligence reported, most of the strong people in the second layer were a few people teaming up to explore. Those who dared to explore the secret realm alone in the second layer were generally invincible powerhouses of the Void-Breaking Realm," Su Xin secretly said.

He was also an invincible force in the Void-Breaking Realm, and he too was venturing alone within this second layer of the secret realm.

Along the way, he also encountered many powerful teams.

Even though these powerful teams saw that he was only one person and just a mid-stage Void Breaker, most wouldn't dare to provoke him. Su Xin naturally wouldn't go out of his way to cause trouble for these teams.

With more teams to encounter, it's inevitable that you'll run into some who are blind to reason.

This was a team composed of two 'top-tier' strong individuals. Upon seeing Su Xin, one of them immediately attacked without hesitation. As a result, within just a moment, the two became souls beneath Su Xin's sword.

……

Su Xin entered the third day of the second layer of the secret realm.

Buzz~~~

A faint blue light suddenly lit up in the middle of a valley.

Although the blue light was faint, it was extremely noticeable in the endless darkness. Su Xin happened to be near this valley and rushed over at the first moment.

When he arrived, he saw a streak of azure light enveloping a spiritual herb, suspended quietly in mid-air.

"Lingcao" Su Xin's brows furrowed.

He is not good at alchemy or forging. He does not know much about many earthly treasures in this world. For example, he doesn't recognize this spirit grass.

But since he was born in this second-tier secret realm, his level must be quite high.

And he was the first to arrive at this valley. Without hesitation, Su Xin stepped forward and with a gesture brought the spirit grass within the blue light into his universe ring.

As soon as he finished this step, Su Xin's gaze turned to the empty space beside him. There, two figures were racing towards him.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A man and a woman stopped in the air above the canyon, their eyes all focused on Su Xin.

Su Xinyue was watching the two people, and soon recognized one of them.

I saw Master Su Xin, a fellow disciple of the Palace Court, perform a slight bow.

"Palace Master, he is your disciple" the red-clothed woman asked in surprise.

Gong Chao frowned, "Who are you"

"Tianyan Palace disciple, Su Xin

Su Xin directly took out his identity token."

“Are you Su Xin” Gong Chao’s brow relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face. “I met Senior Brother Xuan Yi not long ago, and he told me about you. He praised your extraordinary talent. You can easily kill a peak-stage Breaking Void cultivator even though you are only at the initial stage of Breaking Void.”

The Heavenly Flame Palace has numerous disciples in the present day. Most of those disciples whose cultivation has already reached the peak of the Void-Breaking Realm are mostly exploring within this Tian Shui Secret Realm.

And still lives here all year round, only going back occasionally.

This Palace Heir has already been venturing through the Heavenly Water Secret Realm for nearly two years. Before this, he had never met Su Xin and only heard about him from Xuan's words. But that was before, naturally, This Palace Heir is unaware of what happened in the Tianyan Imperial Dynasty recently.

...And the reason Su Xin could recognize Gong Chao was because this Gong Chao was extremely powerful. Although he hadn't reached the invincible level of the Void-Breaking Realm, he was infinitely close. And in a one-on-one fight against an invincible Void-Breaking Realm expert, he could barely hold his own. His reputation was quite large within the Tian Shui Secret Realm as well...

Before Su Xin had seen that intelligence report on hundreds of powerful individuals, there was already this name and information about Gong Chao on it.

"Brother Xuen, you flatter me," Su Xin said with a smile.

"Su Xin, brother, how did you get to this second layer of the secret realm, and why are you here alone" Gong Chao asked as he approached Su Xin.

"Having heard that the second layer of this secret realm has even more opportunities for treasures, I came, Su Xin said."

"Trouble

Gong Chao said in a low voice, "Since you could easily kill a peak-stage Broken Void expert at the early stage of Broken Void, your strength must be even stronger now that you have broken through to the mid-stage of Broken Void. You should even have combat power close to the 'top tier'. With such strength, if you were in the first layer alone, it would be enough to navigate on your own."

"But this second layer of the secret realm is far more dangerous than the first. Even I have to be extremely cautious and team up with others. If you go it alone in this place, a single misstep could cost you your life."

"Alright then, since we've met, why not join our group and journey together In the future, if we gain any fortune or treasures, we'll share them equally among the three of us. What do you say"

"This..." Su Xin was a little taken aback, but soon shook his head and said, "Thank you, senior brother, for your kindness. I'll just venture out alone."

Upon hearing this, a crease appeared between Palace Chao's eyebrows.

And the red-clothed woman beside him said discontentedly, "You, how can you be so clueless Palace Morning Bro is worried that you might lose your life wandering around alone, so he let you join our team, and even willing to share the opportunities and treasures with you equally. You still refuse to join"

Su Xin smiled wryly.

Palace Master looked at Su Xin calmly and said, "Forget it, since that's the case, then junior brother, you can go explore on your own. But remember, don't be too reckless. If you feel it's too dangerous, return to the first layer of the secret realm early."

"Yes, junior brother will remember Su Xin's instructions."

The palace official smiled and left with the woman in red.

As the woman in red left, she glared fiercely at Su Xin, clearly thinking he was being disrespectful.

Su Xin was also full of helplessness.

He naturally knew that this fellow disciple from the Imperial Court was kind-hearted and allowed him to join his team.

Ke Su had her own plans.

He came to this second-tier secret realm to hone his skills and experience, even striving to showcase himself as much as possible. He wanted the inspectors from Mount Jiusheng to pay more attention to him. In this situation, naturally, it would be better for him to venture alone within the second-tier secret realm to fully demonstrate his abilities.

As for strength, an ordinary Invincible at the Void-Breaking Realm could act alone on this second layer of the secret realm, and almost no one dared to provoke him. Among those invincible in the Void-Breaking Realm, he was considered extremely powerful.

He couldn't tell his senior brother, Palace Master, about these things.

Even if I said it, this Palace Master Senior Brother probably wouldn't believe me.

……turing in the second layer of the secret realm give up their pursuit of him. He can now face dozens of strong opponents calmly, but what if he faced hundreds or even thousands of such powerful beingsL...
