Chen Zong was used to acting alone, but that didn't mean he was inflexible.
When one couldn't solve a problem on their own, they had to borrow power. The Tianguang Peak Lord was one such example, and so was the First Grand Elder.
In the end, it was because one's own strength wasn't enough. If he had the strength of a Saint, he wouldn't need to borrow power. He could just go to Gulan Peak with his sword and suppress the Lanhai clan. He would know if they were the ones who did it.
Of course, if he had the strength of a Saint, then no matter how much the people of the Blue Ocean Clan hated him, they wouldn't dare to do anything to him. A Saint wasn't easy to deal with. If they didn't have a Saint, then going against a Saint was no different from digging their own grave.
After listening to Chen Zong's story, the First Grand Elder's expression turned cold.
He didn't believe that the Lanhai clan of Gulan Peak would target Chen Zong, but he didn't doubt Chen Zong's words either.
In addition, the Lanhai clan did have a motive to target Chen Zong.
However, the Inferno Demon Gate was also involved, which was unusual.
One must know that the strongest enemies of all the Holy Lands in the universe were the Infernal Order and the Inferno Demon Gate. As for the God Worship Sect, it was hard to tell whether they were friend or foe.
If the Lanhai clan really colluded with the Inferno Demon Gate, then it was no small matter. It was a big matter, big enough to affect the life and death of Taihao Mountain.
If the Lanhai Clan had really colluded with the Inferno Demon Gate, and the Lanhai Clan had suddenly betrayed them when the Inferno Demon Gate launched a large-scale invasion, then sabotaged them from the inside. It was very likely that this would lead to the collapse of Mount Taihao and the destruction of Mount Luofu and Myriad Net Valley.
"This matter is between the three of us. Don't mention it again." The First Grand Elder said in a low voice, "I will investigate it myself."
His tone was solemn, but it was also filled with shocking killing intent.
If he really found traces of the Lanhai clan colluding with the Inferno Demon Gate, then they couldn't blame him for being ruthless and eliminating the Lanhai clan.
Colluding with foreign enemies was a big taboo in any power.
Chen Zong and the Tianguang Peak Lord nodded.
This was not a small matter. If it was leaked out, it would inevitably alert the enemy. At that time, it would be even more difficult to investigate the truth.
The best way was to act as if nothing had happened and let down the Lanhai clan's vigilance. That way, it would be easier for them to give themselves away and seize the evidence.
After the Tianguang Peak Lord left and returned to Tianguang Peak, Chen Zong didn't go to the Chaotic Territory again.
Now that he was even more powerful, if he unleashed his power in the Anarchic Lands, he could easily shatter space. That would be a threat to him.
Not every time he fell into a spatial crack, he would be so lucky to survive.
If he did it again, he might just die in there.
Add to that the fact that the Inferno Fiend General had appeared in the Anarchic Lands, and it seemed to have become even more chaotic.
After thinking about it, Chen Zong decided to put aside the mission of cleaning up the Anarchic Lands for the time being. If there was a suitable opportunity in the future, he would complete it. As for now, first, he had to restore the life force of the mysterious seed. Second, he had to improve his own strength to the limit of the fifth state. When the time came, he might be able to break through to the sixth state.
Only when he reached the sixth state could he be considered a strong man in the universe.
As for the Divine King List, Chen Zong was currently ranked one thousand. However, Chen Zong didn't want to challenge the first place of the Divine King List right now. He planned to wait until the end. When he planned to break through to the sixth state, he would challenge the first place of the Divine King List.
As for whether he had the confidence to do so, it was needless to say. Chen Zong of course had a lot of confidence.
There was still some time before the Chief Elder returned with Nianxin. Then, he would take advantage of this opportunity to enter the Mysterious Territory of Fierce Demons again. He would hunt down the fierce demons and devour their spiritual souls and life force to restore the life force consumed by the mysterious seed.
The Mysterious Territory of Fierce Demons had a rule that only cultivators of the fourth and fifth states could enter. Those above the fifth state couldn't enter. Even if the Lan Hai clan really wanted to deal with him, they would at most send out a fifth state strong man.
Then, among the fifth states, who would be a match for him?
One must know that his current strength had surpassed the fifth state and reached the sixth state. His strength was so strong that he could compete with a sixth state strong man. If he used his trump card, he could even kill a sixth state strong man.
With such strength, even other strong fifth states wouldn't be a match for him. At most, they would be on par with him. Those people were too rare. Chen Zong didn't believe that the Lan Hai clan had them.
Even if there really was a fifth state strong man, Chen Zong didn't think that he could kill him. This was confidence, great confidence in his own strength.
Since that was the case, what was there to be afraid of?
Without hesitation, Chen Zong immediately entered the Mysterious Territory of Fierce Demons and began to hunt the fierce demons.
In the Mysterious Territory of Taihao Mountain, the fierce demons of the universe were of the third, fourth, and fifth states. As for the fierce demons of the sixth state, they didn't exist. Chen Zong could hunt to his heart's content without any danger.
Slaughter!
When I hold a sword in my hand, I can move unhindered in all directions, looking disdainfully at the four extremes.
The life force consumed by the mysterious seed was slowly replenishing. It didn't look so sickly anymore. It recovered some vitality, but it was still not enough.
The fierce demons in the Mysterious Territory of Fierce Demons suffered directly.
Chen Zong's strength was extremely powerful. Even a fifth level ultimate form ferocious demon couldn't withstand a casual swing of Chen Zong's sword. He slaughtered them like he was cutting grass. His speed was terrifyingly fast, and his efficiency was shocking to the extreme.
One year!
Two years!
Three years!
For three consecutive years, Chen Zong came out once to see if the First Elder and Nianxin had arrived. Then, he entered the Mysterious Territory of Fierce Demons again to hunt.
Over the past three years, Chen Zong had killed an uncountable number of ferocious demons. In fact, during that time, Chen Zong had accidentally entered the mezzanine and slaughtered tens of thousands of ferocious demons.
Later on, it became very difficult for Chen Zong to hunt down ferocious demons.
After all, the fierce demons were not inexhaustible. Moreover, they were not that stupid. It should be known that Chen Zong had continuously slaughtered fierce demons in the universe. The number of fierce demons was at least more than 100,000. The fierce evil spirit was extremely shocking. Moreover, it was all the evil spirit produced by slaughtering fierce demons. The fierce demons in the universe could feel it from afar.
The fierce demons of the universe were known to be fierce and cruel. They were a kind of terrifying existence that wouldn't rest until they were dead. But in fact, they were also afraid when too many of them were killed.
Any intelligent creature would have an instinct for fear. The only difference was the strength of that instinct.
When facing a ruthless person like Chen Zong who had slaughtered countless vicious demons and accumulated an extremely terrifying baleful aura, even the most vicious of the universe's vicious demons would not be able to be fierce. Instead, they would be terrified and flee.
As for the Lanhai clan, they didn't take any action. Either they really didn't attack Chen Zong, and the aura that Chen Zong sensed before was just a disguise to frame the Lanhai clan. The other possibility was that they didn't dare to take action for the time being, because they didn't have enough confidence to kill Chen Zong in the Fierce Demon Secret Territory. They also didn't dare to send people, for fear that they would give themselves away and be tracked down.
Chen Zong felt that it was a pity that the Lanhai clan didn't take action, but he didn't do anything.
Three years had passed, plus the time when he came back from a mission in the Chaos Territory. Four years had passed. Under normal circumstances, the First Elder should have come back.
Stepping out of the Fierce Demon Secret Territory, he saluted the Stone Lion guarding the Fierce Demon Secret Territory and turned into a sword light and left.
"What an amazing Evil Spirit!" The Stone Lion narrowed his eyes, staring in the direction that Chen Zong left. He was shocked. Such a horrible Evil Spirit was almost tangible. How many fierce demons of the universe had he killed?
It was unimaginable. He was like an unparalleled killing star.
If such a person went on the deviant path, he would become a very horrible guy.
Returning to Tianguang Peak, the First Elder hadn't returned yet. Chen Zong cultivated quietly while waiting.
The three years of killing in the Fierce Demon Secret Territory had completely recovered the life force consumed by the mysterious seed, and it had also increased a lot. In addition, the black mark had also swallowed the spiritual souls of many fierce demons. Many little drops make an ocean, and it had also increased a lot. Chen Zong's energy, Qi, and Spirit were the most direct, which had increased a lot.
However, Chen Zong also felt that if he continued to swallow the spiritual souls of the fourth and fifth realms, his energy, Qi, and Spirit could no longer be improved. At most, it could only help him recover what he had consumed.
It couldn't be helped. Now, Chen Zong's energy, Qi, and Spirit were powerful enough to surpass the ordinary sixth realm, and could even be compared to the top sixth realm.
The powerful energy, Qi, and Spirit had further increased Chen Zong's combat power to the limit. His cultivation had already reached the limit of the fifth realm, and there was no more room for improvement. All five of his Great Dao had also been increased to the limit.
At this time, he could actually break through to the sixth realm, but Chen Zong didn't plan to do so. Although breaking through to the sixth realm could make his strength stronger, Chen Zong felt that he hadn't really reached the limit yet.
What had reached the limit was only his cultivation and Great Dao. His sword work, unique skills, and other aspects could still be improved.
Only when everything had reached the limit would it be time for him to break through to the sixth realm.
In the blink of an eye, another half a year had passed. The investigation of the Gulan Peak's Lan Hai clan hadn't found anything. Of course, even if they found something, they wouldn't tell Chen Zong. That was no longer a level that Chen Zong could interfere with.
Chen Zong suddenly felt uneasy, as if something bad was going to happen. An indescribable pressure filled his heart, as if dark clouds were pressing down on him. It disturbed Chen Zong's emotions, and made it difficult for Chen Zong to concentrate on cultivation for a while.
"Could something have happened to Nianxin?" Chen Zong couldn't help but frown, and then shook his head. "It shouldn't be. The Great Elder is a top Great Emperor level cultivator. He should be able to bring Nianxin here."
He tried hard to calm his emotions. Another few months passed, and the Tianguang Peak Lord suddenly sent a message, asking Chen Zong to go over.
The uneasiness in his heart immediately emerged once again and became even more intense.
At the Tianguang Peak Lord's place, Chen Zong saw the Great Elder. The Great Elder's face was pale and gray, and his aura was weak. However, he didn't see the figure that he yearned for day and night.
