A week later, his spiritual power surged, and Yu Chen's cultivation broke through to the second level of the second realm.
Two weeks later, the third level of the second realm.
Three weeks later, the fourth level of the second realm.
Two and a half months later, Yu Chen's fellow prisoners gathered together and curled up in a corner of the cage, trembling as they watched Yu Chen break through one level after another.
After cultivating wholeheartedly, Yu Chen's cultivation level finally broke through to the tenth level of the second realm.
At this moment, his spiritual power and physical cultivation were countless times stronger than before.
If previously Yu Chen could kill a cow with one punch, now, he could kill a dinosaur with one punch.
It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a human-shaped beast.
Moreover, a total of nine unallocated talent points appeared in the Yu Chen Talent Tree.
Yu Chen was not in a hurry to use up the talent points. Instead, he decided to first understand all the talents in the entire Talent Tree before using them.
Only then could Yu Chen effectively allocate his resources.
…
"It's insane. That guy broke through ten times in less than three months. It's a miracle."
"Isn't that so? If he wasn't locked up in the Heavenly Prison, he might have already been appointed as the Immortal by the superpowers."
A group of prison guards walked towards the cage where Yu Chen was imprisoned. Along the way, they would frequently make remarks of admiration.
"I can't believe I witnessed something like this. I'm so lucky."
"Indeed, it's the legendary top-grade talent. Moreover, it's the talent that increases one's cultivation speed. This child's future will definitely be unimaginable."
"Hmph. Even so, he's still a criminal with questionable conduct."
"That's right, that's right. Didn't we lock up such a powerful genius?"
"He's now in the second realm. A first realm cage is no longer a problem for him."
"Otherwise, we wouldn't have received orders to transfer him to the cage for second realm cultivators."
…
On the other side, Yu Chen was led by the prison guards to the cage for the second realm cultivators.
On the other side, the Blood Demon could no longer hold back his excitement.
Xing Wanhong was laying down in his room, but he kept listening to the Blood Demon's crazy words.
"Hehehehe~ You can't possibly keep him imprisoned. It's impossible."
"A bunch of dog-like people. It's your fault for offending the son of God…"
"Die quickly, all of you…"
"In… three hundred years, all of you will die~ Hehehe, all of you will die…"
Xing Wanhong was vexed by the Blood Demon's exclamation and could not help but shout, "No one will die. You're the only one who will die!"
"You're supposed to be a powerful figure. Can you stop acting so crazy?"
Yu Chen's appearance gave the Blood Demon hope.
After seeing a glimmer of hope, the Blood Demon had since been in an excited state.
He was beside himself with excitement.
As long as he secretly guided Yu Chen's actions, he would be free in a few hundred years.
Freedom ~
Freedom!
In the silent void, the Blood Demon opened his eyes. His scarlet eyes flickered with a shocking killing intent that made one shudder.
"Die, all of you… for covering up the truth."
"There are still hundreds of years, thousands of months, and hundreds of thousands of hours before I can kill all of you… Hehe ~"
…
"Lord Saint, I've investigated everything."
At the Hunyuan Sect, Wang Yun listened to his subordinate's report.
"A few days ago, the person who awakened a top grade talent in the Heavenly Prison was Yu Chen!"
Hearing these words, Wang Yun's eyes widened.
In an instant, he understood the stakes.
He was the one who had framed Yu Chen and sent him to prison.
If this matter was discovered, his life as the Saint would be over.
And it was basically impossible to secretly get rid of Yu Chen.
Yu Chen was now being watched by the Grand Elders of the five superpowers.
He was merely a Saint of the Hunyuan Sect. To secretly operate under the noses of many mighty figures was simply courting death.
"How?!! You bastard!"
Wang Yun's face darkened and he said in fear, "How can that trash awaken a top-grade talent?"
"Last time, his cultivation was only on the fifth level of the first realm!"
The subordinate lowered his head and did not dare to look at Wang Yun.
Although the Saint had a good reputation outside, such as being kind, gentlemanly, refined, and easy-going, as Wang Yun's subordinate, he understood Wang Yun very well.
Not only was Wang Yun an extremely shrewd fellow, but he was also vindictive. His true character was completely different from his reputation.
"If the truth is discovered, wouldn't I be—"
The more Wang Yun thought about it, the more fearful he became. He was already regretting not killing Yu Chen back then.
If he had killed Yu Chen, things wouldn't have turned out like this.
However, at that time, Yu Chen was only a first realm level five cultivator with some potential.
Wang Yun did not expect Yu Chen to awaken a top-grade talent in such a short period of time.
"If I'm discovered, I'll definitely die."
When Wang Yun thought of this, he became anxious.
If nothing unexpected happened, Yu Chen would not die inside the Heavenly Prison.
And if he didn't die, Xing Wanhong would release him sooner or later.
At that time, everyone would learn from Yu Chen that Wang Yun was the one who caused him to be imprisoned.
Then the higher-ups of the Hunyuan Sect would definitely not let him off.
Yu Chen's talent could directly make him the Immortal.
Suddenly, Wang Yun thought of something.
"No, the situation is not completely hopeless yet."
Wang Yun thought to himself, 'In a month, there will be a competition between the Immortals. If I become the Immortal…'
If he became the Immortal, even if Yu Chen's matter was exposed, he would at most just be punished.
Wang Yun thought, 'And if I want to become the Immortal, the most important thing now is to obtain Xiao Ling…'
'That b*tch… pretending to be virtuous in front of me for so many years…'
'After this, I must get even with her.'
It didn't feel good to be a bootlicker, especially a neglected one.
…
"The competition to fight for the Immortal's position will be held in a month."
In the Heavenly Prison, Yu Chen sat in the cage for second realm level ten cultivators, thinking about some matters.
Several people who were trying to look for trouble laid on the ground around him.
However, without any restrictions on his strength, Yu Chen could easily deal with them.
"If I remember correctly, five Saints and Saintesses will compete together for the position of the Immortal."
"And Wang Yun's strength is among the top even among the Saints…"
"On top of that, he enjoys bootlicking Lady Saintess Xiling. There's a high possibility he'll become the Immortal. It'll be even harder to deal with him then."
Yu Chen thought long and hard, desperately trying to make things difficult for his enemy.
However, he was in the Heavenly Prison and had no way to leave.
He could not even see the enemy, let alone stop the enemy from becoming the Immortal.
Although there was only a step of difference between the Saint and the Immortal, the gap was huge.
There could be many Saints, but there could only be one Immortal.
If a Saint did not become the Immortal, he could still become an elder.
If the Immortal did not die, he could become the sect master.
If Wang Yun was the Saint, then Yu Chen could still have a foothold in the Hunyuan Sect.
If Wang Yun was the Immortal, then…
Now, it would take Yu Chen at least half a year to break through and become a third realm cultivator.
In addition, Yu Chen could not do anything else…
He had no choice but to study the Talent Tree.
Perhaps there's a pleasant surprise awaiting Yu Chen in the Talent Tree?
…
Three days later, Yu Chen indeed discovered a talent called 'External Avatar' in the Talent Tree.
