Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 786 - : City Lord Seeks Help
Chapter 786: Chapter 786: City Lord Seeks Help
Watching Wang Chen standing before him, Shao Hongcheng felt his mind reel in disbelief.
He had no idea why Wang Chen would ambush him, nor what he had experienced during his unconsciousness. Hearing Wang Chen’s “Congratulations” left him utterly confused.
However, the next moment, Shao Hongcheng’s face drastically changed.
He suddenly discovered an odd power within his body, circulating ceaselessly amongst his internal organs.
And the source and destination of this power were both located in the lower abdomen!
True Qi, Dantian!
Shao Hongcheng instantly realized he had broken through the peak of Marrow Refinement and stepped into the Acquired Realm.
How could this be possible!!
He stuttered, “Tea, Teacher Brother, what exactly, did you do?”
Wang Chen simply smiled, “It’s nothing, just helped Teacher Brother advance to the Acquired tier, that’s all.”
Wang Chen spoke lightly, but Shao Hongcheng felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his head buzzing.
It was actually true!
Shao Hongcheng, after all, was not an ordinary person. Gradually regaining his composure amidst extreme shock and bewilderment, he slowly asked, “Teacher Brother, how did you do this?”
It was said that Entry Tao cultivators had the ability to help martial artists cleanse their marrow and enhance their strength, but Wang Chen was just an Innate Martial Artist!
He had never heard of an Innate Martial Artist being able to achieve this.
“Teacher Brother, you needn’t worry about that.”
Wang Chen couldn’t possibly reveal Elder Yao’s secret to Shao Hongcheng. Telling him wouldn’t benefit him at all, “What you need to do is to diligently cultivate and consolidate your realm, to strive for the breakthrough to Innate.”
Elder Yao had gone to great lengths, opening the secret repository and personally taking action. Simply becoming an Acquired Martial Artist wouldn’t justify the efforts of a Nascent Soul True Immortal.
In fact, the current Shao Hongcheng could be said to have undergone a transformation, laying the foundation for Innate.

However, due to the external forces, Innate would be his limit, with no chance of transcending to the extraordinary and entering Tao.
But that was irrelevant.
For Shao Hongcheng, advancing to the Acquired was already a dream come true, not to mention the chance of breaking through to Innate was beyond imagination.
Without a moment’s hesitation, he nodded vigorously, “Okay!”
Wang Chen had given such tremendous help; clinging to the truth would be too foolish.
The key was to firmly grasp the benefit he had received.
In this world, the strong were respected. If he could advance to Innate, the chance to rule a City alone and rebuild the glory of Infinity Sect was not an issue.
Wang Chen took out a pill bottle, “Teacher Brother, hold onto this bottle of Innate Pills.”
Shao Hongcheng was once again deeply shaken.
How precious were the Innate Pills! Let alone a whole bottle, even the value of a single one surpassed his entire fortune.
With this bottle of Innate Pills, he really might have a chance to break through to Innate.
Shao Hongcheng grasped the pill bottle Wang Chen handed over, his heart filled with myriad emotions. He wanted to say something, but the words choked in his throat.
He felt that he owed Wang Chen a debt he could never repay in this lifetime.
However, Wang Chen was simply fulfilling Elder Yao’s wish to settle past debts of Infinity Sect, and at the same time, repaying the favor owed to Shao Hongcheng.
Two birds with one stone.
In the days that followed, Wang Chen stayed at his residence, cultivating behind closed doors.
He patiently waited.
The Martial Pavilion tournament in Red Cliff City saw Wang Chen capture all the attention; everyone now knew of a sixteen-year-old Innate expert in the city.
Because of the presence of the Holy Ancestor’s Way, Red Cliff City was not a closed-off island. Those Traveling Merchants moving between different cities would naturally spread his fame.
Wang Chen hoped that upon hearing the news, Hu Jiaojiao would hurry to Red Cliff City and reunite with him.
For this reason, Wang Chen had specifically instructed Shao Hongcheng to bring over anyone named Hu Jiaojiao who came looking for him at the Martial Pavilion.
However, the propagation and fermentation of fame required time, and all he could do now was wait.
After stepping into the Innate tier, Wang Chen’s cultivation speed suddenly slowed down.
The Innate tier represented the pinnacle of the martial path, with depths and robustness that the Acquired tier simply couldn’t compare to.
Although advancing to Innate allowed one to attempt the path to transcendence, haste and profit-seeking would only result in an unstable foundation. Even if one luckily grasped the opportunity and joined the ranks of the Cultivators, the strength they could wield was often insignificant.
According to Elder Yao, a Transcendent-tier Cultivator was merely at the Primary Tier of Qi Cultivation, and without nature’s spiritual energy, they could only cultivate and execute some techniques energized by the power of Qi-Blood.
However, when these techniques were combined with martial skills, they could significantly enhance one’s abilities.
But an Innate expert who had cultivated to the pinnacle was not much weaker than a Cultivator who had just entered transcendence.
So, there was no need to rush.
Time passed by day by day, one month, two months, three months…
Wang Chen still hadn’t waited for Hu Jiaojiao!
Even with his extremely resolute will, he couldn’t help but feel a bit restless.
Wang Chen had already spent a considerable amount of time in the Bell World. Now with no knowledge of Hu Jiaojiao’s whereabouts and no leads on the Mysterious Fox Order, let alone finding the source of this world…
Elder Yao, who reincarnated twelve times as a Nascent Soul True Immortal, had failed to achieve this, so how could Wang Chen entertain such fantasies?
He worried he would end up like Elder Yao, trapped in this world with no escape.
Wang Chen didn’t have the chance of reincarnation!
He had also asked Elder Yao for advice, but alas, Elder Yao couldn’t help him.
After all, although the Foggy Mountain Realm was a small world, it wasn’t something one person could fully explore — not even in twelve lifetimes.
With no other option, Wang Chen continued to practice cultivation behind closed doors, persistently waiting.
Instead of Hu Jiaojiao, it was City Lord Zhao Zhenxuan of Red Cliff City who unexpectedly approached him.
This left Wang Chen somewhat surprised.
Ever since their last meeting when they had spoken openly, the two had not seen each other again, as if avoiding one another.
Wang Chen had never asked Zhao Zhenxuan for any power or benefits. He had stayed out of the internal affairs of Red Cliff City, completely fulfilling his promise.
“Wang, my friend.”
The first update delivered.
