Chapter 5: Shocking the Entire Youming Sect

The Youming Sect was in an uproar.

“Nie Chen, you died so miserably!”

“Senior Brother Nie Chen, although you were a waste in cultivation, had a weird personality, and had no redeeming qualities except for your good looks, I never thought you would die so easily.”

“Everyone, don’t be sad. Nie Chen is a hero, a brave warrior who represented our sect in challenging Empress Qingyue.”

“Which sect in the world would dare to challenge Empress Qingyue directly, or even send a war letter?”

“Only our Youming Sect would do such a thing!”

“Yes, only our Youming Sect is brave enough to do this. Youming Sect is the best in the world! Youming Sect will be great again!”

Just as Nie Chen returned to the Youming Sect, which was hidden deep in the mountains and protected by various restrictions and illusions, he heard a burst of enthusiastic cheers.

“Uh…”

Nie Chen was speechless, having grown accustomed to the brainwashing of the sect’s members.

At the same time, the sect leader, Meng Yangqiu, suddenly appeared in front of everyone, his dry and wrinkled face filled with a sense of sorrow.

“Alas, the world’s demonic sects are all cowards. Only we dare to challenge Empress Qingyue and start a war.”

“Our Youming Sect will definitely become the leader of the demonic sects.”

“Nie Chen’s death has also made me sad, but this sadness will become the driving force for our sect’s growth.”

“Not only that, but I heard that after killing Nie Chen, even Empress Qingyue was shaken, fearing that our sect would one day kill its way to the Heavenly Cloud Palace.”

“Now, even seeing the war letter, she doesn’t dare to find us for a fight.”

“This time, our Youming Sect has won a complete victory!”

“Even Empress Qingyue was scared?”

“This is our Youming Sect, it’s too strong! Youming Sect will definitely become the world’s number one demonic sect! Senior Brother Nie Chen, did not die in vain!”

Nie Chen: “……”

He didn’t know where to start.

If Empress Qingyue really appeared here, she could probably wipe out the entire Youming Sect with a wave of her hand, not to mention being afraid of them.

“Right, Youming Sect is so strong…”

“Nie Chen, how did you come back?”

Just as they were halfway through their boasting, the sect leader, Meng Yangqiu, suddenly froze, his eyes fixed on Nie Chen in shock.

In his astonished gaze, Nie Chen slowly walked towards them from outside the mountain gate.

Instantly, all eyes were on Nie Chen, and everyone was stunned.

“Senior Brother Nie Chen, didn’t you die?”

“Is this… Senior Brother Nie Chen, coming back to life?”

Even Meng Yangqiu couldn’t believe his eyes.

Although elder Ma, hadn’t seen Nie Chen die with his own eyes, Nie Chen had taken the war letter to the Heavenly Cloud Palace and handed it to Empress Qingyue himself.

Such an act should have been suicidal.

He couldn’t understand how Nie Chen could have survived and returned.

“You… didn’t you personally deliver the war letter to Empress Qingyue? How did you come back?”

Meng Yangqiu’s old face was full of shock.

Nie Chen had anticipated this reaction and casually waved his hand, his expression calm.

“Yes, I delivered the letter to Empress Qingyue and then came back.”

I stared at Empress Qingyue and told her, “Look at me, I’m the one who represents the Youming Sect and delivered the war letter.”

“If you don’t want to die, just behave and send me back.”

“Who would have thought that Empress Qingyue would be so scared of our Youming Sect that she would change color and tremble with fear?”

“In the end, she not only let me go but also escorted me down the mountain personally.”

The entire Youming Sect fell silent.

Meng Yangqiu’s face was frozen, and he didn’t know what to say.

“Is this true?”

“Of course.”

As soon as Nie Chen finished speaking, the system notifications appeared.

【You have dealt a mental blow to the Opening Profound Realm Demonic Sect leader.】

【You have dealt a mental blow to the Demonic Sect elders.】

【You have obtained 10 Nine Sun Pills, which can cure severe injuries and regrow bones.】

【You have obtained the artifact, the Immortal Binding Rope.】

【You have obtained the spell, Thunder Slash.】

Nie Chen asked the system, “What’s going on?”

【Ding, the host has completed the Empress quest, unlocking the system’s first function: obtaining rewards by dealing mental blows to others.】

Although it couldn’t compare to the newcomer’s gift package, these rewards were still precious and suitable for Nie Chen’s current cultivation level.

The Youming Sect disciples, who had been brainwashed to prioritize the sect above all else, suddenly erupted into a frenzy of cheers.

“Senior Brother Nie Chen, has come back to life and even humiliated Empress Qingyue!”

“This is our Youming Sect! Even someone like Senior Brother Nie Chen, who has no cultivation talent, can do something so amazing!”

Nie Chen felt a bit offended.

Without the system, he might have tolerated this, but now he couldn’t.

Ignoring the commotion, Nie Chen headed towards the Flame Tower.

The Flame Tower was said to be a treasure passed down by the Youming Sect’s ancestors, containing endless flames.

It had ten layers, and the temperature increased dramatically with each layer.

Even the sect leader, Meng Yangqiu, could only reach the sixth layer.

But now, Nie Chen seemed to be walking into the tower without any concern.

“Boom!”

The flames suddenly surged towards him like a ferocious beast, trying to engulf him.

In an instant, Nie Chen’s body was burned to a crisp, and he seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

However, just as the next wave of flames was about to hit him, Nie Chen’s body emitted a brilliant golden light.

The Ancient Sacred Body was one of the most precious and mysterious bodies in ancient times.

Its strength and secrets were still unknown, and it was extremely rare for someone to possess it.

Naturally, no one knew one of the Ancient Sacred Body’s most important secrets: absorption.

As long as Nie Chen wasn’t killed instantly, he could absorb the corresponding attributes using the Ancient Sacred Body.

【You have been burned by the flames, and your fire resistance has increased by 46.】

In an instant, the flames that had been so threatening to Nie Chen became harmless.

At the same time, a whirlpool of energy gathered at Nie Chen’s dantian, forming a golden particle that condensed into a single point.

He had reached the Gathering Qi Realm.

“How is this possible? Senior Brother Nie Chen, can’t cultivate, and even the first layer is lethal to those who have just entered the Gathering Qi Realm!”

The Youming Sect disciples outside the Flame Tower were shocked and pale.

【You have dealt a mental blow to the Demonic Sect disciples, obtaining 10 Fire Resistance Pills.】

“Nice stuff.”

Nie Chen didn’t hesitate to eat all ten pills, savoring the taste.

Feeling the rapid increase in his spiritual energy, Nie Chen smiled and looked up at the Flame Tower.
