"What is this?"
Looking at the silver pool, Dan Qingzi's heart thumped and he instinctively asked.
"Soul-Washing Water."
Chen Heng said, "I prepared it just for you.
"In order to prevent your soul from collapsing, I deliberately waited until you woke up."
How does it feel? "
Chen Heng smiled, a playful look on his face.
"You!"
Dan Qingzi's expression immediately fell.
Bang!
Before he could react, the silver sword had been thrown into the pool in front of him.
As the Silver Splendor Sword fell into the pool, it quickly went through some strange changes.
A layer of faint silver crystals came out of the sword and quickly froze, adhering to the sword like a block of ice.
Following this, Dan Qingzi felt some changes within the sword.
Immense pain appeared within his body.
At this moment, he felt an intense pain in his body. An invisible force enveloped his entire soul body.
Intense pain continued to surface on his soul.
In just a short period of time, his consciousness was on the verge of collapsing, and he felt like he was about to collapse.
"This is …!"
Instantly, his heart was filled with fear. At this moment, his entire body was enveloped by fear and he felt extremely horrified.
By now, he knew what was going to happen.
Even though he did not know what the essence of the Soul Absorbing Pool was, there was no doubt that the pool of Soul Cleansing Water possessed some sort of unique power. It was capable of absorbing the impurities in one's soul and destroying one's consciousness, leaving behind only a pure soul crystal.
This was what Chen Heng wanted.
"Not only does this fellow want to kill me, but he also wants to …"
In that moment, he felt quite shocked and realized what Chen Heng was thinking.
It was just that it was too late.
He could not resist Chen Heng.
Right now, he was just a soul, and his body was in the Silver Splendor Sword, so he could not do anything.
Even though he had been powerful in the past, he did not have anything left.
What made him feel even more despair was that he couldn't even commit suicide in this pool of water. He could only watch helplessly as his soul was continuously corroded and tortured.
"Damnit!"
His eyes widened as he felt a deep sense of fear.
Outside the silver Soul Sucking Pond, Chen Heng watched this scene with a calm expression.
Under his gaze, the silver crystals on the Silver Splendor Sword in the distance continued to spread and gradually froze the entire sword.
He could sense that Dan Qingzi's consciousness was gradually becoming weaker and weaker.
From the looks of it, it was not far from disappearing.
Standing by the pool, he could vaguely hear many voices.
It was Dan Qingzi's voice, and it was filled with cursing, pleading, and other things.
However, Chen Heng's expression was calm and he did not pay them any mind.
Thus, in front of him, the voices slowly faded, gradually became calm, and finally disappeared.
After the voice disappeared, Chen Heng shook his head and continued to look ahead.
In the pool, the Silver Splendor Sword was densely covered with silver crystals. It looked very special.
Chen Heng stretched out his hand and a bit of spirit energy appeared, grabbing the silver sword from afar.
With the sword in his hand, a unique feeling welled up within him.
After going through the baptism of the Soul Sucking Pond, Dan Qingzi's consciousness had completely disappeared, and all that was left behind were some things from when he was alive.
Looking at this, Chen Heng smiled and the mental energy in his body started to tremble.
A wave of information quickly flowed into his mind.
These were Dan Qingzi's memories, and they all appeared in Chen Heng's mind, but they were a bit chaotic.
These memories were the main reason why Chen Heng had waited until now to act.
After awakening Chen Yu's memories, he knew that Dan Qingzi harbored ill intentions, but he had not acted and had instead endured until now.
There was naturally a reason for this.
Chen Heng had come for these things, which were Dan Qingzi's greatest wealth.
His past memories.
No matter how much Dan Qingzi had lied in the past, there was one thing that was most likely true.
That was that he came from the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect and was a true disciple of the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect.
This was most likely true.
Otherwise, he would not have been so familiar with that secret realm, nor would he know the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect's Foundation Building Technique.
As a true disciple of the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect, he most likely knew many secrets, secret techniques, and other things.
Those things were what Chen Heng truly cared about.
The reason why he had waited until now to act was because of these things.
The Soul Sucking Pond could wash away a person's consciousness, leaving behind only their memories. However, during this process, it would cause great damage to the soul.
Chen Heng was worried that if he threw Dan Qingzi in while he was still asleep, his soul might be destroyed.
That would not be good.
As such, it was better to wait.
From the results, it seemed that his gains had been quite good.
Dan Qingzi had stubbornly held on to the end and survived the entire process.
This was worth encouraging.
Chen Heng smiled before turning and leaving this place.
Of course, even though he had obtained Dan Qingzi's soul crystal, it would not be easy for him to receive all of the information in his memories.
By now, Chen Heng knew Dan Qingzi's true identity from his memories.
When Dan Qingzi had been alive, he had been at the peak of the Enlightened Master realm like Chen Heng, and he had only been a step away from becoming a True Lord.
Moreover, he had existed for far longer than Chen Heng had.
After such a long time, the information in his memories was incredibly rich, and digesting all of it would not be something that could be done in a short period of time.
According to Chen Heng's estimations, it would take him ten or so years to completely digest all of it.
When that time came, Chen Heng's understanding of this world would increase by another level.
"I'm looking forward to it …"
Thinking to there, Chen Heng could not help but smile.
He quickly left this place and went somewhere else.
All that was left was a massive Soul Sucking Pond.
He wondered if it would still be useful in the future.
In the following period of time, Chen Heng did not do anything else, and he just silently cultivated within Great Chen.
His cultivation had not fully recovered, and there was still much room for improvement. Adding on the fact that he had to digest Dan Qingzi's memories, he did not plan on going out for now.
Of course, even though he was in Great Chen, it was not as if he did not do anything.
While he was cultivating in seclusion, he also sent people to various places he was familiar with to investigate.
These places were all places that he remembered from his previous life, and many of them were places with fortuitous opportunities, some of which were quite unique.
Unsurprisingly, a considerable portion of these places had already been taken over by others.
Chen Heng was not surprised by this.
In this world, he was not the only person who had gone back to the past.
Just like him, Song Qi was also someone who had gone back to the past, and he also knew about some of the historical remnants and fortuitous opportunities that Chen Heng knew about.
What was different was that he had stayed in the Eastern Continent for five years.
Five years was enough for him to gain the upper hand.
Many of the places that Chen Heng knew had already been taken by him.
However, Chen Heng was not surprised or disappointed, and he continued to search those places based on his memories.
In his previous life, as a peak Enlightened Master, he knew many secret places, and he could slowly choose from them.
There were many places that Song Qi did not know about due to his cultivation level in his previous life, or because he was not strong enough, he did not have the right to go.
As such, there were still many places for Chen Heng to explore.
Time gradually passed, and soon, another ten years had passed.
During these ten years, the world had changed greatly.
The most obvious change was in Great Chen, which Chen Heng had established.
After ten years of conquering, with Chen Heng's support, the new Great Chen had conquered many surrounding countries and brought many places under its control.
It was now one of the overlords of the Eastern Continent.
As for Chen Heng, after ten years, he had blended into the Eastern Continent's cultivators' circle and had become a renowned Weapon Forging Master.
Of course, the most important thing was his strength.
Ten years ago, Chen Heng was at the peak of the Spirit Transformation realm. Even though it was not bad, it was not at the peak in the Eastern Continent.
Ten years later, Chen Heng had reached the peak of the Unity realm, and he was only a step away from the Enlightened Master realm.
Even in the Eastern Continent, this kind of strength was not inferior at all. Apart from Enlightened Masters, no one could compare to him.
With this kind of strength, no one dared to disrespect him.
"So it's like that …"
At night, Chen Heng walked by himself outside the palace.
As he walked, he thought back to his memories and muttered to himself.
Over the past ten years, he had mostly digested the memories that Dan Qingzi had left behind.
Because of this, he had learned many secrets.
"There is a world beyond this world …"
As he walked, Chen Heng looked up at the sky and thought to himself.
If Dan Qingzi's memories were real, then this world was even bigger than Chen Heng had imagined.
In Dan Qingzi's memories, this was not the only world in front of him.
Outside of this world, there were many other worlds.
Back then, the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect had left this world and gone to another world.
In other words, what Dan Qingzi had said about Chen Heng returning to the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect in the future was a lie.
Unless Chen Heng had the ability to cross worlds, he would not be able to find the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect.
As such, returning to the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect was just a joke.
As for where the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect had gone, Dan Qingzi did not know.
Back then, he only vaguely remembered that a great war seemed to have broken out in this world. The war lasted for days, and many holy lands fought each other. It affected this world and damaged the Spiritium of this world.
As such, in the future, the spirit qi in this world would continuously decline, and the cultivators would become weaker and weaker, and the suppression would become more and more intense.
That was why sects like the Thousand Wave Sword Sect had retreated one after another after the great battle. They had left this world and gone to other worlds.
As for Dan Qingzi, he had been left behind.
Because of an accident, he had not been able to follow his ancestor and leave this world. He could only hide in the Silver Splendor Sword and struggle at death's door.
"At least ten True Lords?"
Thinking back to Dan Qingzi's memories, Chen Heng inwardly shook his head.
According to Dan Qingzi's memories, if one wanted to break through the boundary of this world and go to other worlds, apart from finding the correct path, one also needed enough strength.
If they were converted to True Monarchs, they would need at least ten.
At least ten True Lords …
Thinking about this, Chen Heng inwardly shook his head and gave up on the idea of going to other Domains.
Let alone now, even decades from now, when many geniuses were rising up, True Lords were incredibly rare existences.
If Chen Heng remembered correctly, even in the next 100 years, there would only be two True Lords in the Eastern Continent.
It would be impossible to gather ten True Lords.
This was an impossible request.
Chen Heng immediately gave up on this thought and did not have any hope.
Compared to this, he felt that it was better to focus on the present.
Outside, the sound of footsteps could be heard.
Hearing this, Chen Heng turned and looked outside.
There, a young man wearing a long white dress slowly walked over.
The young man did not look very old, only in his early twenties. However, he looked quite mature and had a serious expression on his face.
He walked over to Chen Heng and slightly bowed, "Master."
"You're here?"
Looking at the young man, Chen Heng smiled, "Have a seat."
The young man nodded and sat down.
"How were your gains from this trip to the Bohai Sea?"
Chen Heng asked.
"Even though there were some twists and turns, the results were not bad."
The young man said with a serious expression, "A lot of people are willing to come. There are three Spirit Transformation cultivators."
"With these people, the strength of our subordinates will be much more abundant."
"That's right."
Chen Heng nodded and smiled, "Thank you for your hard work."
Even though Chen Heng had said it casually, he knew that there was a great deal of danger hidden within that casual tone.
Thinking to there, he looked above the young man's head.
Above the young man's head, the faint golden Fortune was burning, and it had reached a whole new level.
An invisible force continued to spread outwards, affecting all directions while he was completely unaware of what was happening.
However, compared to before, there were many more things on the golden Fortune.
Specks of blood appeared on it, and there were some faint traces of indescribable patterns on it.
Looking at this scene, Chen Heng lightly sighed.
The young man in front of him was Qi Yu.
Many years had passed, and the child from back then had grown up.
The Mandate of Heaven on his body had also erupted and reached its peak.
His cultivation had soared by leaps and bounds, and it was so fast that it could make others doubt their own lives.
Now, he was Chen Heng's most powerful subordinate. Even though he was not the most powerful person he had, he was one of the best.
His strength had reached the Spirit Transformation Realm, and he was not far from the peak.
Compared to before, this speed could be said to be extremely fast.
One could imagine how many unique situations he had gone through over the years.
However, this was also quite obvious.
Over these years, Chen Heng had presided over Great Chen, and the one who had gone out to search for those secret realms and those geniuses in his memories was Qi Yu.
In the process of searching for those things, it was easy to encounter all sorts of fortuitous encounters. Adding on the fact that Qi Yu was someone with Heaven's Fate and was favored by the will of the heavens, the results went without saying.
In just a short ten years, he had come this far thanks to a series of fortuitous encounters.
Even though this was quite terrifying, to Chen Heng, it was quite normal.
As the series of events unfolded, his body was inevitably tainted with other auras.
His pure Fortune was now covered with black and red runes; this was the manifestation of disaster and backlash, but it was suppressed by the Fortune on his body, which was why it did not appear.
Qi Yu had indeed grown rapidly in the past few years, but at the same time, he had also stirred up quite a bit of trouble and formed quite a few grudges.
These turned into black and red runes that wrapped around his Fortune, waiting for the day it would flare up.
Right now, with Qi Yu's Fortune suppressing him, even if the backlash flared up, it would not be able to do anything to him.
However, one day, when the Heaven's Will in his body weakens, the backlash will completely erupt and affect him.
As for how much of an effect it would have, it would depend on Qi Yu's strength.
In that moment, many thoughts flashed through Chen Heng's mind, but he maintained a slight smile on his face as he said, "Thank you for your hard work.
Now that you've returned, you should have a good rest. "
He said softly.
"Disciple is not tired."
Qi Yu shook his head, not feeling tired at all. Instead, he felt quite excited.
It seemed that he was quite happy with his fortuitous encounters.
"No matter what, I still need to rest."
Chen Heng smiled as he said, "That's right, did you receive any news about the Liunan Prince?"
"No."
Qi Yu hesitated for a moment before replying, "Before I left, I did manage to gather some information."
The Liunan Prince seemed to have disappeared a long time ago. He was lost in a historical remnant and has not been seen for a long time. "
"Is that so."
Chen Heng nodded, not feeling too surprised.
This was a reasonable explanation.
Ever since Chen Heng had returned to the Eastern Continent, he had not seen Song Qi.
It was as if Song Qi had disappeared, and he could not be found at all.
After rampaging through Great Qi and killing the Queen of Great Qi, there had been no news of him.
