"What is this?" Dan Qingzi asked fearfully.

"Soul Washing Water," Chen Heng said, "I prepared it especially for you. In order to prevent your soul from collapsing, I purposefully waited until you woke up again. How does it feel?"

He laughed, a teasing look on his face.

"You!" Dan Qingzi's expression immediately changed.

Bang!

Before he could react, Chen Heng threw the silver sword into the pond.

As the Silver Splendor Sword fell into the pond, it quickly went through changes.

Faint silver crystals continuously came out of the sword and froze above the sword.

Following this, Dan Qingzi felt some changes in the sword.

Unimaginable pain surged through his body.

He felt an intense pain as a formless energy covered his entire soul.

In just a short amount of time, his consciousness nearly collapsed.

This is!

He felt incredibly terrified, feeling extremely shocked.

At that moment, he knew what was coming.

Even though he did not know the details of the Soul Washing Pond, Soul Washing Water had unique power that could absorb the impurities of a person's soul and destroy their consciousness, leaving behind only a pure soul crystal.

This was what Chen Heng wanted.

This fellow, not only does he want to get rid of me, he wants to…

At that moment, Dan Qingzi felt quite shocked and understood what Chen Heng was planning.

However, it was too late; he could not resist Chen Heng.

He was just a soul and was attached to the Silver Splendor Sword. He could not do anything at all.

Even though he had been powerful in the past, he had nothing left.

What made him feel great despair was that in this pond, he could not even commit suicide. He could only watch as his soul was continuously corroded and suffered immense pain.

Damnit!

His eyes widened as he felt deep terror.

Chen Heng silently watched on with a calm expression.

As he watched, silver crystals continued to spread along the Silver Splendor Sword.

He could sense that Dan Qingzi's consciousness was becoming weaker and weaker, and it seemed that he would disappear soon.

Standing next to the pond, he could hear some sounds.

They belonged to Dan Qingzi and alternated between cursing and pleading.

In response, Chen Heng's expression was calm as he ignored Dan Qingzi.

As such, the voice gradually faded and soon disappeared.

When the voice disappeared, standing next to the pond, Chen Heng shook his head and looked ahead.

The Silver Splendor Sword was covered with silver crystals.

Chen Heng stretched his hand and some spirit energy appeared, grabbing onto the sword and pulling it into his hand.

After being cleansed by the Soul Washing Water, Dan Qingzi's consciousness had completely disappeared and only some remnant things remained.

Seeing this, Chen Heng smiled, and his mind soon began to tremble.

A wave of information quickly appeared and flowed into his mind.

These were memories belonging to Dan Qingzi, and now they all appeared in Chen Heng's mind, seeming quite chaotic.

These memories were the main reason why Chen Heng had waited until now to act.

After receiving Chen Yu's memories, he had found out that Dan Qingzi had bad intentions, but he had waited until now to deal with him.

There was naturally a reason for this.

What Chen Heng did this for was these things, which was Dan Qingzi's greatest treasure—his memories.

No matter how many lies Dan Qingzi had told, there was something that was true, which was that he was a disciple of the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect.

Otherwise, he would not have been that familiar with the secret realm and would not know the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect's Foundation Technique.

As a real disciple of the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect, he definitely knew many secrets, techniques, and other things.

This was what Chen Heng wanted.

The Soul Washing Pond could destroy one's consciousness, leaving behind only memories. It was just that during this process, it would cause great harm to the soul.

Chen Heng was worried that if Dan Qingzi was still in his unconscious state, his soul might be directly destroyed—that would be extremely bad.

As such, he had waited, and it seemed that the results had been quite good.

Dan Qingzi had stubbornly held on to the end and had completed the process.

It was quite admirable.

Chen Heng smiled before turning and leaving this place.

Of course, even though he had obtained Dan Qingzi's soul crystal, if he wanted to take in large amounts of memories, it was not that simple.

By now, Chen Heng knew Dan Qingzi's true identity from the memories.

Dan Qingzi had been like Chen Yu and had reached the peak of Enlightened Master, and he was just a single step away from True Lord.

As such, his memories were naturally quite bountiful, and it would take some time to go through his memories in detail.

From how Chen Heng saw it, it would need at least ten or so years to completely digest them.

When that time came, Chen Heng would have a greater understanding towards this world.

I'm looking forward to it… Chen Heng thought as he smiled.

Following this, Chen Heng did not do anything else and continued to cultivate as he watched over Great Chen.

His cultivation had not fully recovered and he still had much room to grow. Adding on Dan Qingzi's memories to digest, he did not plan on going out for a while.

Of course, it was not as if he did not do anything in Great Chen.

As he cultivated, he sent people to various places, especially those he was familiar with, to scout them out.

All of them were places where he had gained fortuitous opportunities or unique encounters.

As expected, some of them had been taken by others first.

After all, in this world, it was not just him who had memories from the future.

Just like him, Song Qi had memories of his future, so he also knew of some historical remnants and opportunities.

However, different from Chen Heng, he had stayed in the Eastern Continent for five years.

With these five years, it was enough for him to take a lead.

Many of the places Chen Heng knew of had been cleared out by him.

Chen Heng was not surprised nor was he disappointed; he just followed his memories to continue to search for those places.

As an Enlightened Master in his previous life, he knew many secret places, and he could slowly pick them.

For some of those places, Song Qi either did not know about them because he was not strong enough in his previous life or he was currently not strong enough to go to them.

As such, there were still plenty of places left for Chen Heng.

Time gradually passed, and soon, it had been another ten years.

Much had happened in ten years.

The most obvious change was the Great Chen that Chen Heng had established.

After ten years of fighting, with Chen Heng's support, Great Chen had devoured many surrounding Kingdoms and brought them under its control.

By now, Great Chen had become a small overlord in the Eastern Continent.

Over the past ten years, Chen Heng had assimilated into the Eastern Continent's cultivator circle and became a renowned master refiner.

Of course, the most important thing was his strength.

Ten years ago, Chen Heng had been at the peak of the Spirit Transforming realm. Even though it was not bad, it was not at the peak of the Eastern Continent.

Now, the current Chen Heng had reached the peak of the Unity realm and was only a single step away from the high and mighty Enlightened Master realm.

Even in the Eastern Continent, this strength was quite good. Apart from Enlightened Masters, no one could compare to him.

With this kind of strength, no one dared to disrespect him.

So it's like that…

At night, Chen Heng was walking outside of the palace by himself.

Walking there, he went through the memories in his mind.

In the past ten years, he had essentially digested most of Dan Qingzi's memories, and through them, he found out about many secrets.

Worlds beyond worlds, heavens beyond heavens… Chen Heng looked up at the sky as he thought to himself.

If Dan Qingzi's memories were real, then this world was even bigger than Chen Heng thought.

In Dan Qingzi's memories, this world was not the only world.

Rather, there were even more worlds outside of this one.

Back then, the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect had left from this world and headed to another world.

In other words, Dan Qingzi saying that he would have Chen Heng go to the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect was a complete lie.

Unless Chen Heng could cross worlds, he would never be able to find the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect.

As for where the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect had gone, Dan Qingzi had no idea either.

Back then, he only remembered that a great war had erupted in this world, and as the various holy lands had battled, this had affected the entire world and ruined the vitality of this world.

As such, as time went on, the spirit qi in this world would continuously decline, and the cultivators would become weaker and weaker while the pressure they felt would become greater and greater.

That was why sects like the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect had left after that great war and headed to another world.

As for Dan Qingzi, he had been left behind.

Because of something unexpected, he had not been able to catch up to a senior and leave this world. He could only hide in the Silver Splendor Sword and barely survive.

It required at least ten True Lords?

Going through Dan Qingzi's memories, Chen Heng shook his head.

According to Dan Qingzi's memories, if one wanted to break through this world's boundary and head to another world, apart from finding the correct path, one also needed enough power.

In terms of True Lords, this would require around ten of them.

At least ten True Lords…

Thinking of this number, Chen Heng could not help but shake his head and gave up on heading to other worlds.

Let alone right now, even decades later during the age of geniuses, they would be quite rare.

If Chen Heng remembered correctly, even 100 years later, there would only be two True Lords in the Eastern Continent.

Gathering ten of them would be impossible.

As such, Chen Heng gave up on this.

Compared to this, he felt that it was better to earnestly focus on the things in front of him.

Outside, footsteps could be heard.

Hearing this, Chen Heng turned.

There, a young man wearing a white robe slowly walked over.

He did not look very old, only in his early twenties, but he looked incredibly mature. His expression was very serious and rigid.

He walked before Chen Heng and slightly bowed as he said, "Teacher."

"You're here?" looking at the young man, Chen Heng smiled, "Have a seat."

The young man nodded and sat down.

"How did your trip to the Bohai region go?" Chen Heng asked.

"Even though there were some problems on the way, the result was not bad," the young man said softly with a serious expression, "There were many people who were willing to come back with me. Just from the Spirit Transforming realm, there were three of them.

"With these people, we will have more power to spread around."

Chen Heng nodded before smiling, "That's right. You've worked hard."

Despite Qi Yu speaking about it as if it had been easy, there had been great risks and dangers.

Thinking to there, he looked at the area above Qi Yu's head, where the faint golden Fortune was still burning. It had completely broken out and reached a new level.

A formless energy continuously spread out, affecting his surroundings.

However, there were some differences to this golden Fortune now: There were blood-red spots on it and strange inscriptions.

Looking at this scene, Chen Heng lightly sighed.

After many years, the child from back then had become a man.

His Fortune had broken out and had risen to its peak.

This most obvious manifestation of this was that his cultivation progress was incredibly fast to the point that it could make others feel despair.

Right now, he was Chen Heng's most reliable subordinate. Even though he was not the strongest, he was among the top.

His cultivation was at the Spirit Transforming realm and was near the peak.

This kind of speed was incredibly fast.

During these years when Chen Heng had remained in Great Chen, the one who had gone to scope out the secret realms for him and meet with various geniuses was Qi Yu.

As he searched for these things, it was naturally quite easy for him to encounter all kinds of opportunities. Adding on his Fortune, it was evident that he would progress quite quickly.

Even though it was quite terrifying, from how Chen Heng saw it, it was quite normal.

As various things happened, he began to be tainted by other auras.

His originally-pure Fortune began to be tainted by black and blood-red spots; these were manifestations of inauspiciousness and backlash that would manifest when his Fortune was suppressed.

Over the past few years, Qi Yu had grown much, but he had caused much trouble and gained many enemies.

These things turned into those black and blood-red inscriptions that tainted his Fortune and were waiting to explode out.

Right now, Qi Yu's Fortune was protecting him, so these things could not do much to him.

It was just that when his Fortune went into decline, these things would explode out and affect him.

As for how much it affected him, that would depend on how strong Qi Yu was when the time came.

In that moment, Chen Heng thought of many things but he maintained a smile on his face as he said, "You've worked hard. Have a good rest now that you're back."

"Your disciple is not tired," Qi Yu shook his head, not feeling tired but excited.

It seemed that he was still quite pleased by the fortuitous opportunities he had encountered.

"No matter what, you still need to have adequate rest," Chen Heng said as he smiled, "That's right, did you hear anything about the Liunan Prince this time?"

"No," Qi Yu said after thinking for a moment, "your disciple searched all over for information on him and heard some rumors about him.

"The Liunan Prince seemed to have disappeared a long time ago. He disappeared in a historical remnant and was not seen after that."

"Is that so?" Chen Heng nodded, not feeling too surprised.

This was quite understandable.

After returning to the Eastern Continent, he had not seen Song Qi.

It was as if Song Qi had disappeared, and he could not be found at all.

Ever since he had killed the Queen of Qi, he had all but vanished.
