Chapter 77: Over 10,000 System Points Rewarded, A Great Power of the Void Return Realm?
Chen Daoxuan looked kindly at the Ren Family Ancestral Patriarch before him, who now seemed as though he had seen a ghost.
Even he hadn't anticipated the sheer power of the casual strike he'd delivered with the Hongmeng Ruler.
He had thought it would be enough to dismantle the opponent's formation, but he hadn't expected it to nearly take the Ancestral Patriarch's life outright!
If not for the Ancestral Patriarch using a secret art and the Five-Star Array Flag to absorb the vitality of the four other elders, he likely would have already met his end.
"Old man, don't be in such a rush to leave," Chen Daoxuan said with a gentle smile. "I have a few heartfelt words I'd like to share with you."
As he spoke, he flicked four streams of energy toward the elders of the Ren family, who had been drained to mere husks, clinging to life by a thread.
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
With four soft sounds, the nearly dead elders each had a bloody hole appear in their foreheads, their vitality fully extinguished.
Chen Daoxuan couldn't afford to delay. After their life force was drained, they were already on the brink of death, and he wouldn't risk losing the system points he'd earn from their kills.
After all, if they simply died from the Ancestral Patriarch's actions and weren't credited as his kills, that would be a devastating loss!
These four Ren family elders were all experts of the Boundless Realm, each worth thousands of system points!
And as expected, the system's notification echoed in Chen Daoxuan's mind.
[Host has killed a Fourth Layer Boundless Realm cultivator. Reward: 4,000 system points.]
[Host has killed a Sixth Layer Boundless Realm cultivator. Reward: 6,000 system points.]
[Host has killed a Seventh Layer Boundless Realm cultivator. Reward: 7,000 system points.]
[Host has killed a Eight Layer Boundless Realm cultivator. Reward: 8,000 system points.]
Hearing the continuous system notifications, Chen Daoxuan's eyes brightened.
Four thousand, six thousand, seven thousand, eight thousand—adding up to a total of 25,000 system points!
Until now, he had been scrimping and saving, reluctant to use his system points to improve his cultivation. After painstakingly saving, he'd barely accumulated 4,000 points.
Earlier, he had spent 1,000 points before Leng Yanran entered the secret realm and another 1,000 points recently. Leng Yanran's destruction of a small sect with her jade pendant had earned him a few hundred system points, leaving him with just over 2,000 points remaining.
But now, after killing these four elders, his system points had skyrocketed to over 27,000 points!
This equated to 27,000 years of cultivation, enough to raise his realm to the Void Sky Realm, with 17,000 points still to spare!
The thought made Chen Daoxuan's smile widen.
Looking at the Ren Family Ancestral Patriarch, he couldn't help but find the man increasingly endearing.
This wasn't an enemy—this was family, a beloved benefactor!
Now... How much was this Ancestral Patriarch of the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Dividing Realm, worth?
40,000 system points!
"Whoa..."
"Old man, I really don't know how to thank your Ren family enough," Chen Daoxuan said, his tone as though he was speaking to a close relative. "The least I can do is ensure your entire family stays together—no one left behind."
The sudden influx of over 10,000 system points left Chen Daoxuan visibly excited.
In front of a crowd of stunned onlookers, he even patted the Ren Ancestral Patriarch on the shoulder with a kind expression.
To anyone unaware of the context, it would seem as though the two were old friends sharing a moment of camaraderie.
"You... what do you want?"
"If you spare me, I'll return to the Eastern Region and hand over all of the Ren family's resources to you. From now on, the entire Ren family will obey your every command. I beg you to spare my life!"
The Ancestral Patriarch was trembling all over, his voice filled with fear.
Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that as a Fourth Layer Spirit Dividing cultivator, he would one day suffer such a setback in the remote Northern Region.
Looking at the seemingly insignificant young man before him, who appeared to be only at the first layer of the Sea of Qi Realm, the Ancestral Patriarch no longer dared to guess at his true strength.
Only those who had directly faced Chen Daoxuan's Hongmeng Ruler could understand—this man was not someone mortal strength could contend with!
Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, the trembling Ren Family Ancestral Patriarch lowered his head and began to plead for mercy.
"Crazy, this world must have gone mad…"
"A mighty cultivator at the Spirit Dividing Realm reduced to such a state. Unbelievable!"
"Could it be… that Leng Yanran's master is far beyond the Spirit Dividing Realm in power?"
"If that's true, then the Northern Region might finally be able to stand tall in the world!"
The many forces of the Northern Region were left dumbstruck, unable to process what had just transpired.
In their understanding, the Extinction Realm was already the pinnacle of cultivation. The Boundless Realm was a rare sight, encountered only when cultivators from other regions ventured here.
As for the Spirit Dividing Realm, most of the people present had never seen someone of that caliber alive until now.
The realms beyond the Spirit Dividing Realm? They were a mystery to over ninety percent of the onlookers—concepts they had neither heard of nor imagined.
"Yan'er…" The Palace Master of the Xiaoyao Palace hesitated before asking softly, "Let me ask you something, and you must answer truthfully."
"Have you ever offended that person's disciple?"
"If she bullied you, that's one thing. But have you done anything to cross her?"
The Palace Master's gaze rested solemnly on Wang Yan, who was battered and miserable beside her.
"N-No!" Wang Yan shook his head like a rattle drum, too frightened to even feel the pain of his injuries. "I wouldn't dare! How could I possibly have that ability?"
"Ah… that's good. That's very good."
The Palace Master sighed in relief, discreetly dissipating the gathered spiritual energy in his palm.
If even the Ren family was powerless before that man, his Xiaoyao Palace wouldn't fare any better in his hands.
Poor Wang Yan, oblivious to the danger he had narrowly escaped, unknowingly survived another brush with death.

"Is he someone with the power of the Void Return Realm?..."
The three elders of the Holy Mountain were equally stunned as they gazed at Chen Daoxuan.
For someone capable of utterly suppressing the Ren Family Ancestral Patriarch—even with his Five-Star Array Flag—this was no mere cultivator of the Spirit Dividing Realm. He had undoubtedly surpassed that realm.
Void Return Realm? Even in the Eastern Region, such figures were rare, seen only among the reclusive ancient cultivators.
Regret flashed across the eyes of the Holy Mountain elders.
If they had known earlier that Chen Daoxuan was such a supreme figure, they would have tried to win his favor instead of standing idly by.

"Please, I beg of you! I'm willing to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao to follow you forever!"
"Whatever you desire, I will do it!"
The Ren Ancestral Patriarch, trembling in fear, spoke again. Chen Daoxuan's intense gaze, filled with a strange excitement, had unnerved him further. He pleaded desperately for his life.
"Old man, what are you saying?" Chen Daoxuan chuckled lightly, his voice filled with genuine delight.
"As I said earlier, I just want to have a heartfelt conversation with you."
He smiled—a joyful, unrestrained smile that radiated pure happiness.
The system points he'd just received had swept away all of his prior displeasure, leaving him in an incredibly good mood.
"Of course, of course. Whatever you wish to talk about, I'm all ears," the Ren Ancestral Patriarch stammered, his severely injured body trembling.
But just as he finished speaking, he felt an intense pain in his chest. His eyes widened in horror as he looked up to see what Chen Daoxuan was holding.
In Chen Daoxuan's hand…
Was a heart.
Still faintly beating.
