Chapter 1577: He Still Has Fighting Spirit Chapter 1577: He Still Has Fighting Spirit Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Outside Heaven Ascension City, in a forest filled with endless killing intent. The cultivators of the Lingwu Continent called this place the Forest of Shadows. The trees in the forest, whether their trunks or leaves, were all pitch-black, and the entire forest was shrouded in a strange shadow. Ye Chen, with Chen Zhifan’s guidance, arrived here through a secret passage. “Alright, let’s stop here. The Forest of Shadows is extremely dangerous. Don’t go any further,” Chen Zhifan said. Ye Chen nodded and put Chen Zhifan down. At the same time, he deactivated his transformation. Although the technique was powerful, it consumed a lot of his spiritual energy. Even with his current cultivation level, he could not use it for too long.. From the start of the battle to the time taken to bring Chen Zhifan out of the city, less than ten minutes had passed. Despite this, he had already used up a lot of energy. Ye Chen frowned as he surveyed his surroundings. The Forest of Shadows did give him an extremely uncomfortable feeling, and it felt as if there were endless dangers hidden within. “I’m sorry, Ye Chen. I’ve implicated you. You forced Huang Yuan to kill himself, so Huang Can will definitely not let you off.” Chen Zhifan looked at Ye Chen apologetically. He knew that Ye Chen’s potential was terrifying. Perhaps if Ye Chen was given a few years, he would be able to deal with Huang Can easily. However, Ye Chen was only a Divine King realm cultivator now. No matter how powerful he was, he was no match for Huang Can. “Brother Chen, I already treat you as a brother, so there’s no need to apologize,” Ye Chen smiled and said nonchalantly. Besides, when I first came here, I already had a grudge with Huang Can. Regardless of whether I killed Huang Yuan or not, he wants nothing more than to tear me into pieces, yet I’m still fine now.” “You were fine because you were protected by the power of the laws when you first came here,” Chen Zhifan shook his head. “But now, that power has dissipated.” When Ye Chen heard this, he remembered Elder Yong’s instructions. By coming here, he could erase the traces of the Heavenly Dao in his body. After staying for a few days, had it been erased? Ye Chen did not think too much about it. He continued, “It’s alright. I’ve signed a spirit contract with Huang Can. He can’t touch me before the Immortal Ascension Competition.” Chen Zhifan recalled the conversation between Li Yu and Ye Chen and asked worriedly, “Could it be that you were betting on becoming the champion of the competition? This…” “Brother Chen, don’t worry. I’m confident!” Ye Chen interrupted him with a smile. Chen Zhifan looked at Ye Chen’s confident smile. It was so similar to how he used to be. He did not say anything more and nodded. “I believe you!” Ye Chen suddenly looked at Chen Zhifan in confusion. He knew that Chen Zhifan must have been a proud cultivator in the Kunlun Mountains, but how did he end up becoming this humble and subdued? Was it because he was forced to endure being bullied by others? “Brother Chen, what happened after you ascended from the Kunlun Mountains?” Ye Chen asked. The light in Chen Zhifan’s eyes dimmed when he heard this. However, he still said, “Back then, I came to the Lingwu Continent with great enthusiasm. However, I didn’t expect to not be welcomed by the people there. In the Immortal Ascension Competition, I met countless geniuses who were even more outstanding than me…” “Even so, I was not discouraged. I was still proud, but who knew that before the competition began, I had a conflict with a cultivator in Heaven Ascension City…” “And this person was the champion of that year’s competition, and he was much stronger than I was. Although I barely managed to keep my life, I was also defeated by him and severely injured. As such, with my physical condition at that time, it was almost impossible for me to obtain an ideal ranking in the competition…” “Then, someone in the Immortal Ascension Pavilion told me that if I was willing to take out enough precious treasures and contributions, the Immortal Ascension Pavilion would be willing to take me in…” “Do you know that in a place like the Lingwu Continent, without the protection of a force, almost everyone will step on you?” “So I agreed, but I didn’t know that after I joined the Immortal Ascension Pavilion, they would place a restriction in my body, so my only choices are to serve them or die.” “I should have died, but I’m not willing! I’m not willing to die a loser. That’s why I endured it all these years!” Ye Chen looked at Chen Zhifan in shock. He knew that letting a proud man live through humiliation was a million times more painful than killing them, so Chen Zhifan’s hardship was obvious. At the same time, he looked at Chen Zhifan with admiration. He admired Chen Zhifan because he hadn’t given up. He still had fighting spirit in his heart! Therefore, no matter how much humiliation he suffered now, he was still able to endure it for a chance at revenge and revival. Chen Zhifan was definitely someone who was worth befriending! “However, thanks to you, I’m about to be freed!” Chen Zhifan suddenly smiled. “Oh? Thanks to me?” Ye Chen asked curiously. “Huang Yuan’s token is in your hands, right?” “Yes!” Ye Chen nodded and handed the token to Chen Zhifan. Chen Zhifan looked at the token in his hand, and the smile on his face widened. “The restrictions of the Immortal Ascension Pavilion are much less restrictive on Dao Integration realm cultivators. However, it’s still dangerous.” “My original plan was to take the risk and escape the Immortal Ascension Pavilion after reaching the Dao Integration realm.” “However, with this Deacon token, the situation is much better… Although I have been ordered around by the Immortal Ascension Pavilion all these years and have almost no time to cultivate, my cultivation has also improved a lot.” “You saw it for yourself. I used a secret technique to unleash the power of a peak Dao Integration realm expert. Although this isn’t my own power, it won’t take long to reach this level.” “I hope that it won’t be long before I can unleash this power without using any secret techniques. At that time, I won’t be afraid of anyone!” “Also, this Deacon token can control the restrictions on others, so I’m confident that I can break the restrictions now!” Ye Chen finally understood that Chen Zhifan’s terrifying power came from a secret technique. It seemed that Chen Zhifan must have had some extraordinary opportunities of his own. However, this was a cultivator’s own secret, so he would not ask too much about it. He was happy for Chen Zhifan from the bottom of his heart. Once Chen Zhifan broke the restrictions, he would be able to be himself again, his proud self! Chen Zhifan looked at the token in his hand and said with anticipation, “Ye Chen, I’m going to start breaking the restriction now. Huang Can should have already realized that Huang Yuan has been killed, and should be on his way to Heaven Ascension City.”
