Chapter 254 - Dimension Realm

Su Zehao’s suggestion was simple: cease hostilities and propose a truce, with both parties collaborating.

“Collaborate?” Ye Haochuan wasn’t someone raised on foolishness—collaboration was highly unreliable.

Moreover, since the other party was a disciple of the Tongwen Hall, and although the Ancient Martial Arts Sect had no grievances with the Tongwen Hall and the two sides did not interfere with each other, it was still correct to keep one’s guard up and remain cautious in all matters.

“That’s right, collaborate!”

Su Zehao nodded and said, “Ye Haochuan, I’ll tell you the truth: I didn’t really want to kill you.

The main reason I showed killing intent towards you just now was to force you to reveal the Ice Soul Sword.”

“Oh?” Ye Haochuan expressed serious doubt.

Damn it, people are unpredictable.

If you trust someone easily, you’re purely a fool!

Seeing his profound suspicions, Su Zehao patiently explained, “As you know, my cultivation has already reached the Peak Postnatal stage, and I believe it won’t be long before I break through to the Innate Early Stage.

At that point, will I still care about something like the Ice Soul Sword?”

This statement was indeed a huge truth.

A cultivator who has stepped into the Innate Realm possesses mana.

They can easily annihilate a talisman instrument with just a casual activation of an ordinary magic artifact—even one as outstanding as the Ice Soul Sword.

However, Ye Haochuan still harbored wariness and snorted, “Just spit it out, what exactly do you want?

We’re not three-year-old children; there’s no need for trickery.”

“A cautious person.”

Su Zehao smiled appreciatively, and then spoke seriously, “I believe you also know that in a short while, the Dimension Realm, which opens once a month, will open again.

With my cultivation at the Postnatal Peak, I need the rare spiritual medicines within the Dimension Realm to nourish myself in order to break through to the Innate Realm as quickly as possible.”

Ye Haochuan suddenly realized, but as for the details of the Dimension Realm, he knew nothing, and there was no such information within his sect either.

“The Dimension Realm?” Ye Haochuan was puzzled for a moment.

Seeing his clueless expression, Su Zehao was somewhat surprised and said, “You don’t even know about the Dimension Realm?”

Shit, does not knowing about the Dimension Realm make one inferior, deserving of contempt?

Ye Haochuan felt a bit annoyed, shook his head, and explained that he had just joined the Ancient Martial Arts Sect and was still unclear about its circumstances.

Little did he know, Su Zehao was even more astonished: “You just joined the Ancient Martial Arts Sect and have already stepped into the Postnatal Realm?

And jumped directly to the Postnatal Mid-Stage?

This is simply incredible!

You know, it took me a full three years to step into the Postnatal Realm, and more than a year to break through from the Postnatal Early Stage to the Mid-Stage.

You…

you actually managed such a breakthrough in such a short time—that’s amazing!”

Ye Haochuan started feeling a bit embarrassed.

If it wasn’t for the Holy Hand passing down memories to him, with his aptitude and understanding, it would have been impossible to achieve such a breakthrough in this short span of time!

“Fair to middling,” Ye Haochuan said indifferently.

At this point, Su Zehao’s attitude towards him completely changed.

To have seen such a talented individual as an enemy was truly unwise—he had almost attempted to kill him just moments before.

“Brother Haochuan, I, Su Zehao, have always had the utmost respect for geniuses like yourself.

I apologize for any offense I might have caused just now,” Su Zehao said, taking a humble stance and offering a sincere apology.

Ye Haochuan was momentarily confused but after carefully observing Su Zehao for a while and seeing no traces of deceit on his face, he finally smiled and said, “Brother Zehao, that’s fine, no problem at all.

It’s said that you don’t really get to know someone without a fight, right?”

Overjoyed, Su Zehao agreed, “Exactly, exactly, getting to know each other after a fight.”

Both took a step back, and the previously tense atmosphere suddenly dissipated into nothingness.

Ye Haochuan took the opportunity to ask again about the situation in the Dimension Realm.

“The Dimension Realm is actually derived from the Origin World.

Inside the Dimension Realm, there exists another peculiar and mysterious world.”

“Oh?” Ye Haochuan still found the concept of the Dimension Realm somewhat abstract.

“The Earth we currently inhabit is actually an Origin World.

Often, many people believe that our Origin World is the only one, but that’s not the case.

Within this Origin World, there are many Dimension Realms, such as the Five Elements Dimension World, which includes the Sub-Fire Dimension Realm, Sub-Water Dimension Realm, Sub-Metal Dimension Realm, Sub-Wood Dimension Realm, and Sub-Earth Dimension Realm…”

“Ah!”

Ye Haochuan was startled, never expecting the world to be so complex, completely overturning his previous worldview!

Seeing Ye Haochuan’s astonished expression, Su Zehao smiled and continued to explain, talking endlessly.

“As the saying goes, ‘The land nurtures its people.’ Every place has its Dimension Realm, and they are all different.

For example, this area around Haishan is where the Sub-Fire Dimension Realm is located.”

“The opening of the Dimension Realms follows a certain pattern, usually on the night of the full moon.

They are only open for one day and then close automatically.”

“Within these Dimension Realms, there are creatures like us humans, some are gentle, some are irritable, and some are fierce…

And among them, there are many creatures just like us martial artists.

Thus, most Dimension Realms are very dangerous.”

“For ordinary cultivators, if they want to stay alive, it’s best to get out before the Dimension Realm closes.

Otherwise, they must last a month inside until the Dimension Realm reopens on the next full moon night, and then leave.

However, many people don’t survive the month.”

“Despite this, there are still many treasures within the Dimension Realms waiting for us to explore and search.”

“Even though entering the Dimension Realm is fraught with various dangers and could even cost lives, compared to the immense rewards, these dangers are insignificant.”

“In fact, the Dimension Realm is not the only world.

Within it, there are also Secondary Dimension Realms.

Compared with the Dimension Realm, Secondary Dimension Realms are even more mysterious and peculiar.”

“For instance, in the Sub-Fire Dimension Realm we’re about to enter, there are many Secondary Sub-Fire Dimension Realms, each with a world different from the others, which further leads to the treasures within each being unique.”

Listening to Su Zehao’s explanation, Ye Haochuan gradually came to understand what the Dimension Realm was all about.

However, he still had doubts, “Brother Zehao, from what you’ve said, you want to enter the Sub-Fire Dimension Realm and wish to collaborate with me in order to use the Ice Soul Sword I possess?”

“It saves time talking with a smart person,” Su Zehao smiled.

“All things generate and restrain each other.

In the Sub-Fire Dimension Realm, the Fire Attribute is predominant, and only the Water Attribute can suppress it.

The Ice Soul Sword in your possession is an extremely cold object, the perfect fit.

With it, even if we encounter experts in the Sub-Fire Dimension Realm with strong Fire Attribute attacks and defenses, we will stand a chance to fight.”

Only then did Ye Haochuan realize, thinking of the treasures in the Dimension Realm, his eyes grew fervent as he said, “Good, if Brother Zehao you want to collaborate with me, then no problem, I agree to work with you.”

Su Zehao was overjoyed, saying, “Great, Brother Haochuan is indeed straightforward!”

Both extended their hands and shook firmly, each seeing trust in the other’s eyes.

After they withdrew their hands, Su Zehao hesitated as if there was something he wanted to say but stopped himself.

In the end, he still said, “Brother Haochuan, I must remind you to be wary of one person.”
