The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3355 - 3350: The Membrane at the Limit of the Heaven-Separated Realm_1

Upon finishing his words, Elder Jifeng looked toward Steward Xu and instructed, "Steward Xu, kindly deliver to Linglong, my friend, her portion of Jiyu Essence. On this occasion, Brother Yang Chen has secured 1.5 million Jiyu Essence, and she has advanced alongside him. Following the established rules, allocate her 150,000 Jiyu Essence."

Steward Xu grinned at Linglong Fairy and remarked, "Fairy Linglong, present your Token, please. Per the regulations, you're entitled to a 10% portion, amounting to 150,000 Jiyu Essence. You've truly struck it rich this time."

Linglong Fairy managed a forced smile. Truthfully, she ought to feel delighted about gaining 150,000 Jiyu Essence without any conditions.

Yet, the thought of parting from Yang Chen filled her with reluctance deep inside.

How could she avoid feeling sorrowful? She refused to accept being inferior to anyone else. Still, Yang Chen's power was overwhelmingly immense, to the point where it felt somewhat degrading for her position to continue overseeing him.

Linglong Fairy let out a sigh, realizing this could well be her destiny.

In the end, an insurmountable divide existed between her and Yang Chen.

Linglong Fairy had no choice but to present her Token and claim her 150,000 share.

Just then, Yang Chen spoke up steadily, "No need to switch the overseer."

Elder Jifeng appeared mildly surprised and questioned puzzledly, "What’s the reason for that?"

Yang Chen replied, "It’s simply that I’ve grown accustomed to it."

Elder Jifeng responded, "Brother Yang Chen, I get your sentiment. The replacement overseer I've chosen for you possesses superior expertise, power, and capabilities compared to Linglong. You must realize that as you reach Eighth-Level Merit later on, you'll require handling at a more advanced tier. Linglong might lack prior experience in such duties. Brother Yang Chen, you'll adapt soon enough."

It was merely an issue of adaptation.

Nevertheless, picking the right overseer held great importance. Given Yang Chen's stature and might, Linglong Fairy's qualifications and attributes fell short.

Elder Jifeng assumed Yang Chen would soon reconsider, yet Yang Chen's resolve stayed unwavering: "Elder Jifeng, you've got it wrong. I truly prefer staying with Linglong, and regarding expertise and power, whatever others accomplish, Miss Linglong can achieve too. She just needs time to learn. Unless Linglong decides to depart from me on her own, let her continue in the role."

"This..." Elder Jifeng found himself at a loss for words momentarily. With Yang Chen's stance clear, how could he argue against it?

Meanwhile, Linglong Fairy's eyes welled up with tears in disbelief.

She had convinced herself that Yang Chen would discard her for a new overseer. After all, she recognized her own shortcomings in various aspects.

All overseers for Sixth-Level Merit and higher, especially female cultivators at the Heaven-separated Realm, boasted greater prestige and lovelier features than she did. There was every incentive for Yang Chen to select one of them.

But Yang Chen's choice to retain her came as a total shock.

This gesture deeply moved Linglong Fairy, prompting her to declare, "Young Master Yang Chen, have no doubts; in the days ahead, I'll diligently study and adapt myself, ensuring I honor your faith and hopes in me."

Yang Chen smiled warmly and replied, "Miss Linglong, no need for such formality."

As this touching moment played out, both Fairy Qing Wan and Fairy Yun Xiu felt a surge of emotions.

Fairy Qing Wan had originally admired Yang Chen solely for his formidable strength. Now, she discovered his character was equally loyal and steadfast.

With the Jiyu Essence matter settled, Yang Chen turned his attention to Fairy Qing Wan. Though hesitant, he understood confronting it promptly was wiser, so he asked, "Fairy Qing Wan, do either of you have further questions for me?"

"Brother Yang Chen, come with me, please." Fairy Qing Wan flicked her sleeve.

Yang Chen agreed with a nod, unsure of what Fairy Qing Wan and her companion intended to discuss, but he followed nonetheless.

Fairy Qing Wan didn't lead Yang Chen far. She understood his nature well and knew excessive scheming would only backfire harmfully.

She guided him merely to a close-by pavilion and halted there.

The trio took seats, and Fairy Qing Wan cut directly to the chase without preamble, "Brother Yang Chen, I sense you're not one for idle chatter. Thus, I'll be direct and concise."

Yang Chen nodded, affirming, "You're spot on, Fairy Qing Wan. I prefer straightforwardness over circling topics."

Fairy Qing Wan spoke softly, "Here's the situation: I have a foe called the King of the Netherworld."

"King of Hell?" Yang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.

The King of Hell signified an Emperor-Rank Ghost Being, the pinnacle among ghost beings.

Fairy Qing Wan nodded in confirmation, then stated coldly, "The King of the Netherworld has slain four of my senior and junior brothers, forging a profound grudge with me. Regrettably, I've clashed with him six times and suffered defeat each time. His prowess has exceeded the Heaven-separated Realm's boundaries. Despite tens of thousands of years of effort, nothing has changed. I..."

During her words, Fairy Qing Wan bit her lip, a wave of helplessness washing over her.

Clearly, her grudge against the King of the Netherworld ran profoundly deep. Yet, this very depth made her feel vulnerable and remorseful for failing to vanquish him.

Yang Chen comforted her, "Fairy Qing Wan, avoid excessive self-reproach. Wins and losses are ordinary in battles. It's not your doing that vengeance eludes you."

Fairy Qing Wan replied, "No issue there. Brother Yang Chen, rest easy; I stay composed. Though this grudge persists unresolved, and even if he's beyond the Heaven-separated Realm's limit, I'll ensure he never finds peace."

Yang Chen inquired, "Fairy Qing Wan, what precisely defines the Heaven-separated Realm's limit? I've heard mentions but lack clear details."

Fairy Yun Xiu couldn't suppress a chuckle upon noticing Yang Chen's ignorance of the Heaven-separated Realm's limits.

Despite his immense power.

To build rapport with Yang Chen, she playfully stuck out her tongue and explained, "Brother Yang Chen, are you aware that the strength across early, middle, and late stages of the Heaven-separated Realm shows little variance? Regardless of rigorous training or diverse techniques attempted, the majority can't breach this Heaven-separated Realm limit. Prior to breaking through, the battle prowess of most Heaven-separated Realm masters remains far from extreme. Their might stays perpetually constrained."

Fairy Yun Xiu continued mildly, "This barrier resembles a delicate membrane, an unseen layer that baffles innumerable mighty figures."
