I can only beat noobs.

Chapter 322 It was actually him?

"That's wonderful!" Jiang Yingxue was so excited she almost jumped up. Although she knew Chen Ming had unparalleled talent, she didn't expect him to break through to the Divine Treasure Realm so quickly.

Once one enters the Divine Treasury, one becomes an unparalleled powerhouse, surpassing the mortal realm and possessing an extraordinary status. Upon arriving at the Jiang family, even her great-grandfather was treated with utmost respect.

Moreover, he is now the renowned Prince of Linjiang, whose status, position, and fame are all top-notch in the world.

Just as Chen Ming was about to say something, he suddenly raised an eyebrow and asked in a low voice, "Who?"

He turned around and shielded Jiang Yingxue behind him.

"I see. I've heard so much about you, Prince of Linjiang."

A soft sigh rang out, and then a figure appeared on its own, dressed in a long black dress and wearing a veiled hat.

Jiang Yingxue's expression changed upon seeing her. "It's you? You...you've been following me all this way?"

The woman in the black dress removed her veil, revealing a face of unparalleled beauty. She smiled slightly and said, "If I hadn't been with you, how would I have known that he had actually transformed into the renowned Prince of Linjiang? I should have realized it sooner."

It is indeed a jade crabapple.

Jiang Yingxue's face flushed red as she suddenly realized what was happening.

No wonder she was able to escape from the Jiang family so easily, no wonder she encountered trouble twice along the way but managed to get away inexplicably both times. She had initially thought it was just good luck. Little did she know, someone had been helping her from the sidelines.

She was furious.

Chen Ming never expected that his identity would be exposed on the very first day he broke through to the Divine Treasure Realm.

Now, Su Zhining, Yu Haitang, and Jiang Yingxue all know his identity. This saves him the trouble of confessing.

He said, "You actually dare to come to the capital?"

Yu Haitang stared into his eyes and said, "No matter how powerful the Yu family is, they couldn't have predicted that I would come."

Chen Ming said, "Xue'er, you should go and rest first."

"No," Jiang Yingxue said somewhat defiantly.

"good."

Jiang Yingxue left after all. Before leaving, she glared at Yu Haitang when she wasn't looking.

After Chen Ming and the others left, he said, "You came all the way to the capital to see me, there must be something you need, right?"

Yu Haitang seemed not to hear him, and said somewhat absentmindedly, "Xue'er, you call her that so affectionately. And you have a royally bestowed flower of wealth and honor as your fiancée. You must be very happy being the Prince of Linjiang, have you forgotten that you still have family in Qingfeng City?"

"What happened to them?"

"They're fine now, but I can't guarantee what will happen in a few days."

Chen Ming's gaze turned cold and sharp. "What exactly happened?"

Yu Haitang said, "To be honest, it was I who dragged them down. A few days ago, a rumor spread from somewhere that watering plants with my blood could cultivate the legendary Seven Star Begonia, which is now extinct. So, some people started plotting against me, and two groups of people tried to capture me. I managed to escape and went into hiding. Then, they set their sights on the Chen family. After all, in other people's eyes, I am the Chen family's daughter-in-law, deeply in love with you and devoted to you."

Chen Ming frowned.

He was no longer the novice he once was. After joining the Six Doors, he had read many ancient texts and knew that the "Seven-Star Begonia" was a rare and precious spiritual root from ancient times. Although it was extremely poisonous, it was also an excellent aid in forging the "Life Palace."

It is said that it can increase the success rate by 10%.

However, this kind of spiritual root has long been extinct.

Although the origin of that rumor is unknown, at least a peak fifth-level expert in the Divine Treasure Realm would dare to covet the Jade Begonia.

This is definitely a powerful force. Even if it's not at the level of the Nine Great Sects, it's not something that the major forces in Jiangzhou can contend with.

According to the Six Doors' records, the strongest person in Jiangzhou right now is a fourth-level Divine Treasure expert from the Qin family.

Chen Ming stared at Yu Haitang, "Do you know who the person who wants to capture you is?"

Yu Haitang said, "Those people were quite mysterious, and they didn't seem like people from the Great Jin Dynasty to me."

If they are not from the Great Jin Dynasty, could they be from Southern Chu, or Western Kang? Or perhaps from the northern border states?

No matter who it is, anyone who dares to touch his family members will die.

……

A day later, after settling Xia Mudan and Jiang Yingxue in, Chen Ming left the capital with Yu Haitang. As for the Prince of Linjiang, he naturally went into seclusion again.

To save time, he flew, sparing no effort to travel at top speed.

After unlocking the Divine Treasury, all his vital energy was transformed into magical power. At this moment, the Five Elements True Skill finally revealed its power, its magical power surging to an extreme, dozens of times that of an ordinary Divine Treasury Realm cultivator.

With the added boost from the Yang God, no one in the first level of the Divine Treasury Realm could rival him.

After flying for several hours, Chen Ming landed and recovered his magical power.

This is another wonderful aspect of the "Five Elements True Skill": the speed at which magical power recovers far exceeds that of ordinary people. Because the five elements generate each other in an endless cycle, the recovery speed is naturally faster than that of others.

"It seems you've already integrated the five true skills into one." Yu Haitang, watching from the side, naturally noticed some of the intricacies. Her expression was somewhat complicated.

No one knew better than her how difficult it was to fuse these five elements of true skill.

She only merged two sects and yet she nearly died.

It was only with Chen Ming's help that she successfully fused the two true skills. Each additional skill increased the difficulty by more than tenfold.

She never even dared to dream of the five gates being completely integrated.

"But then, you won't be able to escape."

Chen Ming asked, "What do you mean?"

Yu Haitang said, "Now that you have broken through to the Divine Treasury stage, you have established your foundation and can no longer cultivate other techniques. Have you ever thought about where to find the subsequent techniques of the Five Elements True Technique?"

"The Mysterious Tomb of Immortality?"

“That’s right,” Yu Haitang said. “If I’m not mistaken, the key to opening the dungeon isn’t those inanimate objects, but rather five people who have each cultivated one of the five true arts, each activating a divine object of their own attribute to open it. The key lies in those five true arts.”

"This also means that what is hidden inside the suspected tomb is likely the follow-up techniques of the five true skills. The fusion of the five true skills into one is a method of immortality. However, it is too difficult to fuse the five true skills into one. Even the Emperor of Immortality probably could not do it, so he could only seal this method of immortality away."

"Even the Longevity Emperor probably couldn't have imagined that thousands of years later, someone would actually be able to fuse those five true skills into one."

Chen Ming said, "That's just your guess."

Yu Haitang said, "Whether it's just speculation or not, you'll find out when you open the Tomb of Immortality."

Chen Ming didn't say anything more. He thought of Old Sun in Jiangzhou City, who claimed to be the tomb keeper.

I guess I'll have to go there this time and retrieve that box.

……

In a day and a night, Chen Ming and Yu Haitang arrived in Qingfeng City.

He did not show himself, but quietly settled in a house next to the Chen residence, patiently waiting for those who wanted to harm the Chen family to come.

Yu Haitang didn't know who those people were, so he could only resort to a clumsy method: waiting for them to come to him.

He didn't even deliberately use his divine sense to investigate the Chen residence, lest he alert the enemy.

Several days passed in this wait. On this day, Chen Ming was meditating when he suddenly sensed something. He turned his head and looked in that direction; it was the Zhenhai Prince's Mansion.

They've finally made their move!
With Shang Jianfei in charge of Qingfeng City, anyone who wants to attack the Chen family will have to stop him. At least one Divine Realm expert will be involved.

"This aura... it feels somewhat familiar."

Chen Ming couldn't recall where he had encountered it before.

Yu Haitang noticed it too and rushed over immediately, saying with a solemn expression, "It's Pan Zhiyuan."

Is it him?

The Governor of Jiangzhou, a high-ranking official in charge of the region, actually did such a thing himself?
Chen Ming remembered it when she mentioned it.

He had met Pan Zhiyuan once in the capital, which was why the aura felt familiar, yet he couldn't quite place it. After all, he had never seen the other party make a move.

Chen Ming said, "You said before that the people who attacked you didn't seem to be from the Great Jin Dynasty."

Yu Haitang sneered, "Hmph, I never thought that this newly promoted Red Robe of the Six Doors would actually collude with foreigners."

Chen Ming was puzzled. "But why did he have to take action himself?"

"This proves that the opponent has at most three Divine Realm experts. Only if the other two attack together can they be sure of capturing me. Therefore, Pan Zhiyuan had no choice but to take action."

“That makes sense.” Chen Ming nodded. “Now, I’ll have to trouble you to lure them out.”

"Leave it to me," Yu Haitang said, then looked up again and said, "Coming."

……

"Who are you?"

Above the Zhenhai Prince's Mansion, Shang Jianfei, still dressed as an old farmer, stood there, looking up at the black-clad man who had sealed off the space, and asked in a deep voice.

The man in black said in a hoarse voice, "The one who stopped you."

"Top-grade magic power!" Shang Jianfei said quietly, "There aren't many people in this world who can possess top-grade treasures."

Even he, when breaking through to the Divine Realm, only used top-grade rare treasures.

The man in black didn't speak, but simply looked south.

As if sensing something, Shang Jianfei asked in confusion, "The Chen family? That's your target?"

Could it be that Chen Ming has attracted a powerful enemy who has brought disaster upon his family?

But is it really necessary to deploy two Divine Realm experts to deal with just the Chen family?
He sensed the presence of two other Divine Realm experts.

This puzzled him greatly.

Until a loud boom, a powerful aura erupted, which was no less than that of a Divine Realm expert.

It turned out to be her!

Shang Jianfei suddenly realized that it was that little girl from the Yu family who possessed many treasures. He didn't know what kind of rare treasure she had used to forcibly raise her strength to the level of a divine treasure.

Unexpectedly, this young girl has deep feelings for Chen Ming.

A violent voice rang out, "You surnamed Yu, you really came! Your affection for the Chen family is truly touching."

Another voice said, "Stop talking nonsense, we absolutely cannot let her escape this time."

Shang Jianfei frowned. "An alien race?"

The aura of these two was completely different from the martial arts of the Great Jin Dynasty. Instead, it seemed to be the style of the island nation in the South China Sea.

At this moment, Yu Haitang's voice rang out, "You don't really think I'd be so stupid as to walk right into your trap, do you? You can call for help, so why can't I? Why aren't you making your move?"

Before he finished speaking, an extremely terrifying aura suddenly erupted.

"This is--"

Shang Jianfei's expression changed. The power of this aura far exceeded the realm of the first level of the Divine Realm. Where did that little girl find such a helper?
"not good!"

"Run away!"

The two people cried out in alarm and turned to flee. But it was too late; they were overwhelmed by the overwhelming magical power, and after a moment, everything returned to calm.

Shang Jianfei quickly recovered and looked at the man in black, "You're not running away?"

The man in black sighed softly, "Do you think you can escape?"

He was knowledgeable and experienced, and he immediately realized that the other party was not only at the Divine Realm, but also at the Yang God Realm as soon as he made his move.

He was a master of both martial arts and Taoism; facing such a person, he couldn't escape even if he wanted to.

Let's not waste our energy.

Anyway, he had other ways to save his life.

He was the governor of Jiangzhou, a red-robed member of the Six Doors, and in the Great Jin Dynasty, who would dare to kill him?
This was his talisman, so he wasn't flustered.

Seeing that he wasn't running away, Shang Jianfei naturally didn't make a move.

Soon, two figures flashed and arrived above the Zhenhai Prince's Mansion.

"It's you?"

When he saw the man beside Yu Haitang, even with his experience, he was greatly surprised. The peerless expert who had defeated two Divine Realm experts was actually Chen Ming!
How long has it been?

His strength has actually reached this level.

Not only did their cultivation level catch up with his, but it also surpassed his.

This is incredible.

Shang Jianfei even doubted his memory. Could it be that not just a year or so had passed, but more than a decade?

Or is it that this kid has really been possessed by the Undying Demon Lord?

"Greetings, Senior Shang."

Chen Ming bowed first, then looked at the man in black and said, "I know who you are. You should also know who I am. Others might not dare to kill you, but I do. So, you'd better confess honestly."

"Chen, Ming!"

Pan Zhiyuan's voice trembled slightly, and his heart sank to the bottom.

In the Great Jin Dynasty, no one dared to kill a member of the Six Doors' red-robed sect. The Changsheng Sect was an exception; they were mortal enemies of the Six Doors and had always been wanted and hunted down by them.

The two sides were practically locked in a life-or-death struggle.

It is only natural for the evil people of the Longevity Cult to kill the people of the Six Doors.

This Chen Ming, in just over a year, rose from the third rank to the Divine Treasure Realm. Such speed is simply unbelievable. There's only one possibility: he has been possessed by the Undying Demon Lord.

What kind of person is the Undying Demon Lord?
Being in his hands would be worse than death.

The only fortunate thing was that what possessed Chen Ming was only a wisp of the Undying Demon Lord's spirit, not his true body; otherwise, he would have already lost his mind.
