Chapter 370 The Tertiary Nascent Level
Bai Chen’s speed while running away was no match for the two-tailed serpent’s speed while slithering.
It was only normal since they were at different levels.
The beast’s red eyes glowed coldly. It had almost reached him now. It nearly touched his back.
Suddenly, it opened its mouth wide and revealed its fangs and forked tongue. Its viscous acidic saliva dripped down without pause. Its intent to kill was immense.
It quickly leapt towards Bai Chen, aiming to bite his head off!
Bai Chen sensed the danger from behind him. Instead of being scared, he was excited.
He knew right away that this was his chance. He could now kill the beast in a single blow.
Bai Chen’s facial expression turned serious. He flicked his hand. A golden ray of light leapt out of the dimension ring into his right hand.
When the light vanished, the sacred sword appeared!
It was a high-grade weapon that could even cut through the body of a legendary realm cultivator!
Bai Chen’s heart raced faster as soon as the sword appeared in his hand. Without hesitation, he turned around immediately.
He tightened his grip on the sword and swung it with no mercy. The will of the sword gushed out. It formed a long, sharp golden stripe that darted straight out.
The beast’s red eyes suddenly widened. It sensed the danger that was grave enough to take its life.
In its heart, it screamed in fear. It wanted to run away.
It was a shame that it was too late for the beast to run away anymore.
This was because Bai Chen’s blow was at close range, and it was when the beast was leaping towards him, aiming for his head!
Slash!
A loud, sharp noise echoed throughout the area.
The two-tailed serpent was cut in two by the sacred sword!
Thud!
The two parts of its body dropped loudly onto the ground.
Even so, it did not die immediately. The separated parts writhed about in a large pool of stinking black blood.
In its last thought, it regretted trying to eat Bai Chen, the man who possessed such a powerful weapon!
It did not expect that it would die here!
It was dead in less than two seconds. Its body parts stopped writhing about.
Ding!

Almost at the same time, the mission-accomplishment window popped up.
He smiled in satisfaction. He closed the window and sighed with relief. There was some sweat on his forehead.
Bai Chen wiped the sweat off while putting the sword back into the ring. He stared at the body of the two-tailed serpent for a while before walking away.
The reason for his indifference was because its meat was inedible. Its whole body consisted of deadly venom. Eating it would likely lead to death.
.........................................
Seven days later, in the rather dark cave, Bai Chen still continued to meditate and absorb the celestial qi inside the cave. His face was a little dirty.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes. His muscles seemed to creak and groan. His skin flashed momentarily.
“The tertiary nascent level!” Bai Chen spoke loudly to himself. His voice echoed in the cave.
From his words, He was finally at the tertiary nascent level!
Seven days ago, after he’d killed the two-tailed serpent, he had come back to the cave and meditated. He did not expect that he would be able to sense the indicators for penetrating into the tertiary stage of the nascent realm.
With that, Bai Chen had not hesitated to keep on meditating for days to reach it. Now, he was finally at the tertiary nascent level.
“The celestial qi here is almost depleted. I won’t be able to absorb it anymore,” Bai Chen muttered and stood up.
He brushed at his pants while thinking about a new location with thicker celestial qi.
Then, Bai Chen’s eyes glowed. He seemed to know something. He walked out of the cave without hesitation.
However, Bai Chen did not walk straight to the place he had in mind. He wanted to hunt for food first, since he had not eaten for 7 days straight. He also wanted to wash up at the stream.
Time changed from day to night. Bai Chen was sitting in front of the bonfire. It was a chillier night than usual, but it did not bother Bai Chen very much.
He was a cultivator now. The cold did not bother him much anymore.
He stared at the fire for a while before opening up the new sub-mission’s details.

Sub-mission: Search for an in-huang flower
Description: You have to search for an in-huang flower and collect 5 of them.
Reward for success: Win 60 points + 60 magical bonuses

‘An in-huang flower?’ Bai Chen raised his brows a little after reading the details.
He searched through the memories to look for this particular flower.
Shortly after that, he finally realised what it was. The in-huang flower had the ability to expel beasts that were lower than the foundation level.
For Bai Chen, this mission was very easy. He closed the window down and decided to go to sleep. He would complete the mission in the morning.
