Before long, Su Chen had entered the mountainous region, initially securing a mountain valley as a temporary retreat!

"Zi Mei, it's really miserable, being driven to this place!"

Su Chen joked with Zi Mei.

"What, regret it?"

Zi Mei responded with a smile.

"Regret? The word regret doesn't exist in my dictionary!"

Su Chen shook his head and said.

He understood that if he wanted those treasures, he would inevitably offend those people, and what followed was unavoidable!

And to avoid offending those people by giving up those treasures was clearly impossible!

"Don't worry, I believe that when you appear again, you will once again astonish those people!"

Zi Mei said.

"Hmm!"

Su Chen nodded heavily, then found a place to sit cross-legged!

He first took out the Soul Stone from the Cangyue Ring, planning to refine it first!

On one hand, he had long anticipated that breaking through eighty levels of spiritual power would enable Divine Sense Disturbance; additionally, increasing his spiritual power was beneficial in nurturing Zi Mei's Divine Soul!

Holding the Soul Stone, he felt the soul power fluctuations within it, while activating "Chaos Divine Thought!"

...

Time slowly passed...

One day!

Two days!

Three days!

Four days!

Each day, Su Chen could feel his spiritual power rapidly advancing!

By the fifth day, Su Chen finally fully refined the Third Level Soul Stone!

"Phew~~~"

He let out a long breath, his whole being incredibly excited!

Because in just five days, his spiritual power had skyrocketed from sixty levels to eighty-three levels!

It truly was rocket-like speed!

Su Chen was excited not only because of the sheer increase in spiritual power but more importantly, he could now cultivate the cultivation technique for Divine Sense Disturbance!

This cultivation technique wasn't worrisome; whether it was Divine Sense Disturbance or Divine Sense Attack, "Chaos Divine Thought" contained them!

He then began researching the cultivation technique for spiritual disturbance!

Su Chen was slightly surprised that this cultivation technique for spiritual disturbance wasn't as difficult as Divine Skills!

Of course, it's not that simple either.

However, his speed in comprehending and researching things had greatly improved, and within just three days, he had initially grasped the cultivation technique for spiritual disturbance!

With the Soul Stone refined and the cultivation technique for Divine Sense Disturbance initially mastered, the next step was refining the Divine Perch Wood!

Honestly, besides the Soul Stone, what he was most satisfied with at the auction was the Divine Perch Wood!

Despite spending only 1.5 million!

Undoubtedly, this piece of Divine Perch Wood was the essence of the whole, hence its powerful body refinement effects!

...

In these days, the Imperial City of Great Yan Empire was already boiling with excitement, the heat in the air seeming to scorch people!

This feverish atmosphere was all because of a young man!

And that was Su Chen!

In the past few days, stories about him had spread widely!

For instance, he befriended the Nangong family's heiress, Nangong Xi;

For instance, he spent nearly 20 million at the auction;

For instance, he could tame demon beasts, even reversing control over beasts with masters;

And for instance, he opened his bloodline while merely at Cave Void Realm;

Also for instance, he single-handedly killed the Shangguan family's Grand Elder and others!

The subsequent event naturally garnered great attention: the Shen family and other forces swore to find him at any cost and grind his bones to dust!

Even the South Sect, situated millions of miles from the Imperial City, dispatched sect experts to search!

Yet, after several days, not a trace of the young man was found!

The inn where he had stayed was empty!

People in the Imperial City presumed the young man had probably escaped, and no one knew where he might be!

This was normal, considering he had provoked so many major forces; could he really dare to remain?

Not only did others think this way, but even the Shen family and other forces believed so!

In everyone's mind, staying would mean no different from waiting for death!

But with such a vast Imperial City, how to search?

Who would know where he's hiding?

In fact, they immediately sent people out of the city, but no leads have surfaced!

Of course, giving up the search was impossible!

They certainly wouldn't imagine that the young man they were dying to find was actually in the mountains outside the Imperial City!

Some had indeed suggested the possibility of him hiding there.

But most people found it unlikely since the vicinity of the Imperial City was still quite dangerous!

Human nature is to flee as far as possible!

...

Su Chen wasn't too concerned whether these people would guess his hiding place!

Because even if they deduced it, searching for him in the miles-long mountain range would take a long time!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen this place!

Three or four days swiftly passed!

Su Chen finally fully refined the piece of Divine Perch Wood!

What he never expected was that his God Suppression Body suddenly surged to the Third Layer!

To know, prior to this, his God Suppression Body was merely a bit over the second layer, surely not reaching the mid-second layer!

This leap was truly immense!

Each advancement in the God Suppression Body represents a qualitative change!

Su Chen had profound experience with this!

This way, even if faced with retaliation from those forces, his self-protection capabilities were greatly enhanced!

At this moment, Su Chen deeply felt that the auction was tremendously worthwhile!

As for the nearly 20 million Spirit Notes spent, compared to his gains, they were insignificant!

Even if it was 50 million or more, he was willing!

However, the God Suppression Body only aids in defense, not in attack!

Now, he must bolster that aspect!

There are several options: one is the "Thousand Hand Seal," another is the second move of "Dayan Sword Technique!"

Besides these, with the breakthrough of his God Suppression Body, he could also comprehend the third form in the "Heavenly Breaking Seven Forms!"

He considered briefly, and the most suitable option now was the second move of the "Dayan Sword Technique!"

Because since his last breakthrough, he had only slightly researched the "Thousand Hand Seal;" and he hadn't even glanced at the third form of "Heavenly Breaking Seven Forms!"

As for the second move of "Dayan Sword Technique," Su Chen had already spent a considerable amount of time researching it previously and had tested it a few times. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Although not yet successful, he felt he was very close to truly understanding it!

With time pressing, he naturally chose the one closest to understanding!

Presently, he continued his comprehension, spending two days on it!

Indeed, pressure can sometimes be beneficial; his comprehension speed seemed faster!

Of course, the major reason was that his spiritual power had surged by another twenty levels, breaking the significant eighty-level barrier!

In fact, the reason he refined the Soul Stone first was largely because of this!
