The Immortal's Wine Store - Chapter 414 - Threshold Of The Fourth Heart Realm

Aren had just recently broken through the Origin God Realm, but after becoming a Purple Winged Sword Eagle, his physical body’s strength has increased several times! Even his true essence and spiritual power received a huge boost!

For Eren, the only one who could threaten him was the assassin leader and this guy was just slightly troublesome for him. As for the other assassins, it wouldn’t even take him five minutes to kill those weaklings!

The eyes of the assassin leader flashed with terror as he gazed at Aren’s incoming figure. He could tell that this man has the same level of cultivation as him, but there was something about this purple-haired man that made him feel inferior.

Suddenly, the assassin leader felt his back pressing against an invisible wall. He tried breaking it a few times, but he couldn’t even leave a mark on it. In the end, he could only give up and put his guard up while looking warily at Aren.

“If you think you can kill me so easily, then I have to disappoint you!” The assassin leader put on a savage look as he madly flashed before Aren. He left behind afterimages in his path!

“Die!” He shouted while swinging his dagger with his full strength!

Aren’s expression remained calm as he looked at this. He then took out a pair of exquisite-looking weapons that looked like metallic claws. Aren blocked the dagger of the assassin leader using one metal claw before he slashed the other claw to the assassin leader’s head.

Puchi!

The assassin’s head rotated in midair while his headless body dropped to the ground with a heavy thud.

Seeing this, Aren didn’t even glance at his corpse and searched for the other assassins.

After more than ten minutes, Aren who was drenched in his enemies’ blood came back and greeted the three ladies with a nod of his head.

“Everything has been dealt with.”

Ice pouted upon hearing this, while Long Meili nodded her head calmly.

On the other hand, Cornelia stared at her three saviors with a grateful look on her face as she muttered. “Thank you, elders!”

Aren nodded his head at her.

Ice’s smiling face turned cold when she heard how Cornelia referred to her. She then pointed at her face as she gritted her teeth.” Elders? Do I look that old to you?! Huh?! Do you want me to replace those problematic eyes of yours?!”

Even Long Meili was a bit displeased by this.

Cornelia chuckled awkwardly when she saw the expressions of the two women. She then reworded herself with a forced smile. “Thank you, big brother and big sisters!”

Hearing this, Ice nodded her head, clearly pleased.

“Aren, did you discover the identity of those assassins? Long Meili suddenly asked.

Aren frowned and shook his head helplessly. “I tried interrogating a few of them, but they all killed themselves before I could ask them questions. However, I kept their corpses in my storage ring. There might be someone who could recognize their identities after we remove their masks.”

Hearing this, Long Meili nodded her head. It was the only thing they could do now.

“Let’s go back. I want to take a nap…” Ice grabbed Long Meili’s arms as she pleaded her with a sleepy look. The little girl yawned before she transformed into her cat form. She then leaped into Aren’s shoulder and decided to sleep there.

Aren could only helplessly shake his head at this. He didn’t dare push her away at all…

Ten miles away from them, hidden among the clouds was a figure wearing a transparent veil that covered the lower portion of her face. Her pair of beautiful eyes flashed with complicated emotions as she stared at Long Meili and the others. “Even his subordinates are also strong. I can even feel that the little girl could somehow threaten me just based on the thickness of her true essence…”

Sigh…

With a swooshing sound, her lithe figure vanished.

Jiu Shen cut off his spiritual sight after seeing that everyone was fine. He then went outside his store and stared at the scenery of Morlon City with an unchanging expression.

“War is approaching, but my strength has already reached the pinnacle of this world. There would be no meaning if I intervene… My mentality has changed so much after staying in this mortal world. I could now sense the threshold of the fourth heart realm. So I was wrong all along… I thought that breaking off my emotions would be the key. I finally know why I was stuck in the peak stage of the Heavenly God Realm for billions of years during that time…” Jiu Shen muttered to himself as he placed his hands behind his back. He had discovered a way that might help him achieve a breakthrough in his heart realm, but there was no joy in his eyes, only regret…

Old memories surfaced in his mind and he could also see familiar faces appearing like a movie playing backward.

Love. Happiness. Sadness.

Jiu Shen immediately opened the gate to his Spirit World and walked inside. After finding a random cloud above the skies, he sat cross-legged and entered a state of trance.

True essence, anma, and spiritual power covered Jiu Shen’s body as he entered into a deep state of cultivation.

Balmond and Yue Bo who were both inside the Spirit World was awakened in their solitary confinement. They could sense that the energy of the world was converging in a certain direction.

The surge of energy was so strong that it even startled the savage beasts who were living peacefully inside the Spirit World!

All the creatures inside the Spirit World could feel a sacred and archaic aura slowly enveloping the entire planet. They could not help but prostrate in worship when they sensed the imposing might of this deity-like aura.

Even Yue Bo and Balmond who were Void God Realm experts felt their minds going numb as they slowly kneeled. Their unfocused eyes stared in a certain direction.

If one would follow their sights, a figure seated cross-legged atop a cloud can be seen.. Divine light covered his entire body and it slowly became bigger as time went by.
