Chapter 1011 - Fighting
Of the people present, only Mu Qingxuan knew about the feud between Long Chen and Lu Minghan. Long Chen had once decapitated Lu Minghan under his fury in the Eastern Wasteland. .
Of course, this was only due to Lu Minghan’s carelessness that allowed Long Chen to take advantage of him. It didn’t mean that Long Chen really did have the strength to fight against a king level expert.
However, everyone present didn’t know what was going on. From Long Chen’s tone, it seemed as if he had chopped off his head before. Just what kind of monster was Long Chen?
At the start, they had some doubts as to the authenticity of Long Chen’s words. However, seeing Lu Minghan’s furious expression, it proved that Long Chen’s words were very likely to be true.
“Long Chen, you’re looking to die!” Lu Minghan was enraged, his hair stood on end, and his killing intent soared.
“I don’t know if I’m courting death, but I do know that you’re courting death. If I can chop you down once, I can do it twice. Moreover, I promise that the next time I slash you down, I definitely won’t give you the chance to reconnect.” Long Chen shook his head.
Originally, Long Chen didn’t want to anger Lu Minghan, as this wasn’t a wise move. However, thinking back to the Eastern Wasteland, this bastard actually wanted to violently search Long Chen’s soul for his greed, almost exposing all of his secrets. Long Chen’s heart was filled with hatred.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he wasn’t strong enough, Long Chen could have killed him with all his might and escaped from the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect. But now, he was too weak.
Long Chen’s words caused everyone to suck in a breath of cold air. This confirmed their guess that Long Chen had really chopped off the head of a king level powerhouse.
This made everyone’s hair stand on end, especially those who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to stir up the results of the examination.
At the beginning, they thought that no one would dare to do anything to them, so they accused the people of Eastern Wasteland of cheating. If they stuck to this excuse, they might have a huge chance of sneaking into the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect.
However, only now did they realize how childish their thoughts were. Long Chen had even dared to behead a king level expert. Was there anything in this world that he didn’t dare to do?
Thinking of this, they felt as if they were living, and how blissful they were. They had just brushed shoulders with the god of death.
Even the complexions of Yan Mo Chen, Wei Changhai, Han Yunshan, and the others paled. They did not know that Long Chen had such a terrifying history.
This was especially true for Han Yunshan and Wei Changhai. They had all fought against Long Chen before. No, they hadn’t fought. Instead, they had fought face to face. The moment they attacked, Long Chen had slapped him.
They knew that Long Chen was strong, but they didn’t expect him to be strong enough to fight against a king level expert. Fear was clearly visible in their eyes.
Previously, Long Chen had said that based on his temperament from a year ago, everyone was already on their way to reincarnation. At first, they thought that Long Chen was just bragging, but now they believed that he wasn’t trying to scare them.
“You little b * stard, you’re too audacious and conceited. Offend from below and kill even more innocents. Hurry and follow us to the Law Enforcement Hall to receive punishment!”
Lu Minghan was angered to the point that his face turned ashen. Another man with a prim expression snorted as he walked over with him. He brandished the chain in his hand and flew straight towards Long Chen.
The chains shot over like lightning from the sky, and at that moment, a terrifying pressure caused the space to freeze. No one was able to move.
This was the might of a king level expert. There was no way for them to defend themselves at all. Everyone felt as if there was an invisible hand gripping them tightly, as if someone else could crush them into dust with a single thought. This was an extremely terrifying sensation.
To their horror, the chains charged straight toward Long Chen. Long Chen was the one who had withstood the oppressive might. What they had to endure was merely the aftermath.
The chain filled the world with strange laws and was unavoidable. Just when Long Chen knew he couldn’t block it and was about to go all out, a big hand suddenly grabbed the chain.
"It seems that the Law Enforcement Hall does not have the right to meddle in the matter of the disciple test." An old man stood in front of Long Chen and said indifferently.
"Li Changfeng!"
Lu Minghan could not help but clench his teeth, that person was Li Changfeng. Last time he was suppressed by Li Changfeng, he was furious, but all the evidence proved that he made a mistake, so he could only swallow his anger.
"Phew!"
Li Changfeng waved his hand and the chain flew out. The person who made the chain instantly felt a powerful force and his body was pushed back dozens of feet. He couldn’t help but have his expression change.
"The disciple exam is the responsibility of your Elder Hall, but someone has broken the rules and killed the innocent. It has already surpassed the boundaries of your Elder Hall and our Law Enforcement Hall should be responsible for it. Today, Long Chen and that person who killed with a crossbow arrow must be taken away!"
Indeed, everywhere was a pool of muddy water. Long Chen looked at the gnashing of Lu Minghan teeth and that upright fellow, and couldn’t help but sneer in his heart.
The joy he had felt upon arriving at the Central Region was reduced by a lot. To Long Chen, the Central Region was an even more brutal battlefield, and the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect could very well just be a starting point.
"Break the rules? Killing the innocent? Why didn’t I see it? Long Chen didn’t take action to break the rules, but to maintain them.
He saw that Qingxuan was helpless and that the situation had gone out of control. He had no choice but to suppress her in order to prevent conflict that cause even greater casualties. It could be said that Long Chen’s actions were completely correct.
Not to mention murdering the innocent? What is innocence? They’ve been eliminated, and resentment filled their hearts. Trying to destroy my Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect’s assessment, is this innocence?
Every examination is the time for the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect to replenish new blood. This is the reason why the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect is able to flourish for so long. Someone is trying to destroy the foundations of the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect, and it is also called being innocent? " Li Changfeng said calmly.
Although his tone was very indifferent, it was filled with sharpness. That person could not help but be speechless. Li Changfeng’s eloquence was quite sharp.
"Then… Long Chen cannot kill someone without permission as well. He does not have the authority, if everyone is like him, then wouldn’t the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect be in chaos? Who still needs to follow the rules, what’s the use of my Law Enforcement Hall? " the man argued.
"Killing without authorization? No, this wasn’t wantonly killing, it was just a random reaction. In order to protect the sect’s interests, they had no choice but to use iron-blooded methods. This required great courage and boldness.
The Academy Master said that Long Chen’s actions were classified as a reward. This way of protecting the sect’s interests and not giving out rewards in return for punishment, it was truly chilling. "Li Changfeng said.
"You … You. “You’re all playing a lute, this is turning right and wrong!” That person was furious. Killing someone actually made sense, as this was too unreasonable.
“Enough, this matter can be settled by our Elder’s Hall. We won’t trouble everyone from the Enforcement Hall then.”
“If you don’t like the way our Elder’s Hall is doing, you can complain to the Supervising Division of the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Tower, not shout here and damage the Dao Sect’s image. You can leave now. Please do not disturb the assessment procedures, otherwise we will complain!” Li Changfeng coldly said.
As he finished speaking, Li Changfeng’s tone was obviously impolite, as if he was about to chase away the two of them like dogs.
In reality, Li Changfeng’s arrival was under the orders of the head of the academy. In these years, the Law Enforcement Hall extended their hands too far and it caused the head of the academy to be displeased.
“Okay, okay, okay. Li Changfeng, just you wait, as well as Long Chen, you wait too. Pray that you won’t get into my hands, if not … …” “Hehe.” Lu Minghan’s face was ashen as he coldly looked at Long Chen. His threatening tone was clear to see.
Long Chen faintly smiled and said, “Hurry up and scram. Threatening doesn’t reveal your prestige. It will only expose your idiocy and sinister side.”
As a law enforcement elder, you are too narrow-minded and cannot tolerate anything. To threaten a Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect disciple just for your own selfish desire, you are truly a piece of trash.
I was a bit depressed. What kind of place is the Law Enforcement Hall? How did they raise you bunch of tyrannical and selfish idiots?
To use you people to enforce the law, it’s hard for me to believe that you guys would not plot and frame us for your own selfish desires, and that you guys would be able to enforce the law impartially and strictly? "
Long Chen’s words were even more impolite. It was as if he’d slapped them one after another. The faces of the two were like claps.
“Long Chen, let’s wait and see!” Lu Minghan gnashed his teeth as he left a message, before leaving with another law enforcement elder.
After the two of them left, Li Changfeng looked at everyone. Finally, he stopped on Long Chen’s body and said:
"Attention Scale"
"Thank you for your advice, Elder!"
He knew what Li Changfeng meant. He told Long Chen not to do anything wrong.
As long as he didn’t make any mistakes, the Elder’s Hall would be able to protect him. But once he did, the Law Enforcement Hall would catch him red-handed. That would be troublesome.
At the same time, Long Chen realized that he had been used as a spear. It was obvious that the Law Enforcement Hall and the elders’ hall were fighting each other, and Long Chen had become the elder’s halls weapon.
However, Long Chen didn’t care. Sometimes, entering a complicated faction required one to stand in a line. It was impossible to not offend anyone.
The most important thing was to choose his own backer. He and Lu Minghan had completely formed a feud and were like fire and water. The Elder Sect was his best choice.
Furthermore, from Li Changfeng and Lu Minghan’s mannerisms, Long Chen could determine that the two powers’ atmosphere was one of harmony between the Elders and the Law Enforcement Hall. The Law Enforcement Hall, on the other hand, was full of hostility.
"The exam will continue. If anyone dares to be presumptuous again, kill them all." After Li Changfeng finished saying those words, he disappeared in front of everyone.
At this time, the eliminated disciples no longer dared to say anything. They were completely stunned. They suddenly realized just how stupid their previous actions had been.
Only then did Mu Qingxuan stand out and shout loudly: "Disciples who have been eliminated, you all have two choices. One is to return to your own sect, and the other is to stay in the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect."
"We can still stay in the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect?" Everyone could not help but be overjoyed.
“Yes, but if you stay, you don’t have the status or benefits of a disciple. You will need to do odd jobs to earn cultivation resources.”
The bad part was that your resources are limited, the room for growth limitless, so you might as well return to his original sect to be the local tyrant. The advantage was that as long as you were in the Central Region, anything was possible. It depended on whether or not you were willing to gamble your entire life.
Alright, someone will come to receive you later. As for whether you want to stay or not, decide for yourselves. Your fate is in your hands. "
Mu Qingxuan’s words caused quite a commotion among the crowd. Those with good conditions didn’t want to stay behind as servants. They felt that it was too embarrassing, so they might as well return and live a glorious life.
Those with mediocre conditions would rather stay, rather than become the head of a chicken. More importantly, they wouldn’t be able to become the head of a chicken even if they were to go back.
"Junior Brothers and Sisters, come with me. Welcome to the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect!"
"Crack crack crack …"
The huge stone door slowly opened, and the sound shook everyone’s eardrums. At the same time, an extremely dense amount of spirit energy rushed towards them.
Chapter 1012 - Inner Court Exam
Spirit energy was like an ocean as it surged towards one’s face, causing one’s 100,000 pores to open up as they greedily sucked the spirit energy in the air. .
Long Chen was shocked to discover that the spiritual energy in the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect was not only dense, but it also seemed to contain something he had never felt before.
Seeing the door open, the hundred thousand disciples were extremely excited, following Mu Qingxuan’s footsteps, they entered the door. As for the disciples outside, they could only watch helplessly as their figure disappeared into the door, and then the thick door closed tightly.
After Long Chen entered through the main entrance, he followed Mu Qingxuan and walked forward. The passageway was very long, and the two sides were lined with ancient trees. It was simple yet lively.
After walking along the path for hundreds of kilometers, a huge plaza appeared in front of them. The plaza was several times larger than the plaza of the Eastern Wasteland, and it was even more grand.
In the center of the plaza stood a huge statue. It was simple and imposing, like a god overlooking the heavens, and it made people revere it.
Stepping into the center of the plaza, Long Chen and the others hadn’t expected to see such a sea of people. However, instead of appearing, there was only a long-haired man standing there like a javelin, silently watching them approach.
That man’s face was cold and indifferent. Symbols circulated faintly within his pupils. Standing there, he didn’t emit the slightest bit of aura, but he still gave off a dense feeling.
"Greetings Senior Brother Su Mo!"
Mu Qingxuan bowed slightly.
“It’s been hard on you, Junior Sister Qingxuan. Leave the rest to me!” The long-haired man called Su Mo slightly returned the greeting. His tone was courteous, but his voice was ice-cold. For some reason, there was a hint of killing intent in his voice.
"This is a real expert!"
Long Chen’s pupils shrank. He could feel an endless pressure coming from the man, one that was even greater than that of the elders.
Long Chen was unable to sense his might, but from the fluctuations of his aura, he could tell that he was a Casting Stage expert.
From the looks of it, he should be a disciple from the previous batch. This was the first time Long Chen had met a Casting Stage powerhouse with such a tyrannical aura.
The reason why Long Chen felt that he was incomparable strong was because of the killing intent that came from his very bones, and even from the depths of his soul.
This was a powerful warrior who had massacred countless people. His terrifying murderous aura had already seeped into every cell of his body, and even when he spoke, his killing intent would leak out. This was a powerful warrior who climbed out from the mountains of corpses and the seas of blood.
Mu Qing Xuan opened his mouth and said, “Then I’ll be troubling Senior Brother Su Mo. This little sister will take my leave now.”
After Mu Qing Xuan finished speaking, she waved her hand at the crowd, leaving the bewildered expressions of the crowd behind as she left.
Su Mo looked at the crowd and couldn’t help but shake his head. Within his cold eyes, there was a trace of indescribable emotion, but Long Chen understood that it was pity.
Not long after Su Mo’s gaze swept past the Dragon Blood Warrior, his eyes lit up. Especially when his gaze fell upon Long Chen, his eyes suddenly became as sharp as a knife, as if he could see through his opponent’s heart.
His gaze was like lightning, directed straight at Long Chen’s heart. When Su Mo looked at Long Chen, his face was indifferent and emotionless.
The cold corners of Su Mo’s mouth actually curled into a curve as he lightly nodded. “Not bad, you can be considered to be a decent person.”
Everyone was dumbstruck, as they didn’t know what Su Mo actually meant and were baffled by his words, but the aura on Su Mo’s body caused them to not dare speak.
"Let me introduce myself to everyone. My name is Su Mo, and I’m a previous disciple and your senior brother. Ten years ago, I stood here like you all.
Seeing all of you made me think of countless faces filled with yearning and fantasies. However, ten years later, when I stood here once again, most of them had already turned into a pile of dirt. "Su Mo looked at everyone and spoke indifferently.
When the crowd heard this, their faces couldn’t help but change, and they heard Su Mo continue saying, "First of all, congratulations to you all. You have passed the initial exam and become a disciple of the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect.
Some of you people relied on your talent and some people relied on luck to pass the initial trials. But no matter what, this is power.
But this is only the first step to enter the sect. You’ve passed the exam now and you’ve only passed the outer sect qualification exam. In other words, you’re now outer sect disciples.
Right now, I will accept you guys and guide you to the next test, which is the test of the inner sect disciples. "
"The inner sect examination."
All the disciples could not help but feel a burst of excitement in their hearts, especially those disciples with high talent, they were actually a bit impatient.
Su Mo looked at the excited disciples and the pity in his eyes became even stronger. He said, "The welfare of the inner court disciples is a hundred times that of the outer court disciples. However, there is no such thing as a pie falling from the sky.
Even if a pie falls, you need the strength to receive it. If you don’t have the strength to receive it head-on, then the result is that you’ll be smashed into a meat patty!
Sure enough, one would know that the inner disciple test would be very strict. Although Long Chen and Wang Mang had asked about some of the tests on the way here and Wang Mang didn’t dare to say it out loud because of the rules, between the lines, Long Chen could guess a few things.
Su Mo continued, "The outer court disciple test is just an entrance exam. To put it bluntly, it’s recruiting some high level servants to help the sect handle some complicated matters.
However, what was better than normal servants was that not only was the reward high, there was also a fixed time for cultivation and the limited time available for training.
However, the outer sect disciples could not focus on cultivating, because they had to earn money.
Only the inner court disciples do not need to be on duty and do not have enough resources for cultivation. They can earn points by doing missions and exchange them for more resources. Part of the cultivation grounds will be open to them all year round … "
“I’m afraid I’ll have to say ‘but’ …” Long Chen sighed in his heart. Once he finished talking about the benefits, he would begin to turn the tables.
As if purposely coordinating with Long Chen, Su Mo said, "But still, if you want to eat this huge pie, you need the strength, the courage, and also the …. Luck.
Because the inner court disciple test was different from the outer court disciple test, the outer court disciple test was only a child’s play and there was no danger to his life, but the inner court disciple test was …. “Real combat!”
The word “actual combat” smashed into the hearts of everyone like a sledgehammer, especially when spoken with Su Mo’s sinister tone. It caused them to involuntarily shiver, because the two words that Su Mo uttered were full of a bloody flavor.
"The inner sect’s disciple exam is a bloody battlefield. Life there is like a weak flower that wilts in an instant.
The reason the sect let me arrange this trip is to tell you that the next trial is very cruel, very bloody, and it’s normal for you to lose your life.
That will be a battlefield where only the truly strong can survive, so you all have to think carefully.
"Although the treatment for outer sect disciples is low, if your performance is outstanding, you will have a chance to enter the inner sect. However, if you fail the inner sect disciple exam, then you will have no chance at all."
Su Mo’s words echoed in the ears of everyone present. Originally, those people who had a hundred times the reward for inner court disciples and were filled with boundless anticipation were like people who had been coldly poured water on their heads. Their hearts instantly went cold.
"If you want to take the inner disciple test, one thing you have to do is to give up your life first. If you can’t do it, the chances of you surviving the test will not be more than one in a thousand.
As senior, I have seen too many of their comrades fall. I have seen their helplessness and despair.
Once you enter the battlefield, don’t expect that the people beside you will save you, because if others save you, it would be equivalent to sacrificing half of their lives, putting themselves in endless danger.
Therefore, what I must do now is advise you all to not easily try and think twice before acting. " Su Mo said meaningfully.
For a moment, the entire arena was deathly silent. Everyone felt as if a huge boulder was pressing down on their hearts, causing them to be unable to breathe.
Facing the temptation of the inner court disciples and facing the threat of death, they fell into a struggle all of a sudden.
Long Chen sighed. Su Mo was also kind. This group of fellows that grew up in a greenhouse would definitely be a mass of deaths once they entered a real battlefield.
This couldn’t be blamed on them, they could only blame their sects for not knowing how to take advantage of the situation and force them into a corner.
“I’ve already said it. As for the choice, it’s up to you guys. The ones who choose to participate in the inner court disciple exam, move forward and those who give up on the exam, move back.” Su Mo said.
Along with Su Mo’s words, most of the people took a few steps forward, and some of them even retreated backwards. This was because they knew their own limitations and felt that as outer court disciples, they were extremely satisfied.
The majority of the people who retreated were only third grade Skywalker. Many of them had struggled on the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Stairway, relying on luck to pass the trial. With one entrance exam, they already felt powerless, and there was no hope for the next exam.
Most of them moved forward, some of them retreated, and some of them even hesitated and struggled. They were all people with decent talent and strength.
He didn’t give up. He didn’t give up thinking about the difficulty of the Profound Sky Stairway, and he knew that the inner court disciple test was even more difficult and cruel.
Su Mo did not urge the crowd. Instead, he quietly waited for their decision. What the crowd had experienced before was something he had experienced, so he was not impatient at all.
After an hour, everyone was finished. More than twenty thousand people chose to give up, and more than eighty thousand chose to participate in the inner sect examination.
Seeing so many people still participating in the inner court disciple test, a trace of helplessness appeared in Su Mo’s eyes, but he didn’t say anything more.
Very quickly, there were people who came specially to lead those disciples who had chosen to give up. It was most likely because they had arranged for their residences and duties to be arranged.
When all the outer court disciples left, Su Mo said, "Since all of you chose to participate in the inner court disciple test, then as your Senior Brother, I can only pray for all of you.
"Next up, before the test, you need to meet some people. Perhaps they might only have your lives on the test field."
As Su Mo finished speaking, countless runes circulated on the floor tiles under everyone’s feet. Everyone felt as if the surrounding space had changed and they were actually transported to an extremely gloomy and humid environment.
Chapter 1013 - Harmonization of Heaven and Earth
Everyone discovered that they had unknowingly been transported to a dark and gloomy environment. The place was cold and damp, and was filled with an aura of decay and death.
Everyone jumped in fright. They didn’t even have the time to check their surroundings carefully before they were stunned by the large group of people in front of them.
In front of them, a large group of figures was staring coldly at them. Roughly estimating, there were roughly three hundred thousand people.
There were males and females among them, and they were all extremely young. Although they were all powerful sea realm experts, they stood there like pine trees and their auras were as heavy as mountains, unshakable.
"A true expert!"
As he looked at these people, even Long Chen’s heart trembled. Not only were their auras condensed to the extreme, even their eyes were sharp as knives. Their souls were like blades that gave people endless pressure.
These people were all extremely strong, and the only difference between them and the experts of other regions was that they were all genuine experts. They had truly seen bloody characters before.
Moreover, among these people, many of them gave Long Chen an enormous pressure. This caused Long Chen to understand something.
“Let me introduce you. The person in front of you is one of the Central State disciples that will be taking the test with you.” Su Mo spoke, breaking the crowd’s suspicions.
This caused the experts of the four realms to feel their hearts tremble. Although they had long since prepared themselves mentally, their speculations were still proven to be extremely shocking.
Although they were both at the same level, they could clearly feel the pressure that was like the sea on their opponent’s body making them unable to breathe. It was a pressure that was on a completely different level.
The disciples of the Central Region all looked at the group of fourth region disciples that had lost their minds. Their eyes flickered with different emotions, like curiosity, disdain, or coldness. This caused the disciples of the fourth region to not know what to feel.
Looking at the complicated looks in everyone’s eyes, Su Mo said, "I believe you all feel great pressure, but you don’t have to feel inferior. This is not your fault, but your sect’s fault.
For the sake of political achievements, your sect cultivates people to focus on quantity, but they ignore quality, so your strength is a bit lacking.
This is one of the shortcomings of the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect. Because the Central State is based on the number of disciples they send to each region, they are able to distribute the quota of resources.
You guys have not experienced a real battle of life or death, and you are just crude weapons that are still on hold. They have already been tempered by countless divine weapons and are beginning to emit their own light. "
Long Chen couldn’t help but nod his head when he saw Su Mo’s cold and confident words. This Su Mo was indeed a true expert with a sharp eye; he dared to say what he wanted, dared to attack the shortcomings of the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect in front of his disciples, and needed a certain amount of confidence.
And Su Mo also said that it was true. Besides the Eastern Wasteland, the other three regions were prosperous, so there was naturally no need for them to risk their lives.
The Eastern Wastelands, on the other hand, couldn’t do anything about it. They had originally thought highly of their disciples, but many of them had already fallen in the Great War of the Righteous and Evil Gods. Even their sects could be attacked.
The disciples of the Eastern Wastelands had no choice but to fight for their lives because they had no choice but to become stronger. However, the conditions of the other three realms were too good; there was no reason for them to fight for their lives.
Now that Su Mo had said these words, the disciples of the third region couldn’t help but feel a bit angry. They felt that the sect had restricted their growth.
"But don’t complain, complaining is always the most useless behavior of the weak. The reason why the strong can become strong is because they are constantly looking for reasons to become strong.
The reason why the weak became the weak was because they were constantly finding excuses for their laziness.
It will never be too late to work hard. On the stage of the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect, as long as you are a genius, if you are willing to work hard, you will eventually be able to shine.
However, your laziness and ease during the early stages is like overdrawing your luck. Now that you’ve entered the inner sect examination, the heavens will make you take back everything you owed before.
That’s why I advised you before, and felt that you could give up if you couldn’t. However, there were still so many of you who chose the exam.
“I don’t know if I should praise all of you for your bravery or foolishness. I’ll use my Senior Brother’s status to mercilessly strike at you all once more. If you all were to enter the inner court disciple test under this kind of situation, being able to live for one third of your people would already be heaven’s pity.” Su Mo shook his head and said.
When Su Mo’s words came out, the expressions of many disciples changed. A third of them would survive, so two-thirds of them would die.
Although they had estimated the difficulty of the inner sect examination, such a terrifying death rate still caused their hearts to sink to the bottom.
Of the three people, only one would be able to survive. Most importantly, those who survived must have had greater strength than luck. Thinking of the impulsive decision they made previously, many of them immediately regretted it.
“It’s too late to regret now. I’ll point out a path for you. If you want to live, then join the ranks of the experts in the Central Region.”
When Central State disciples came to the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect, they didn’t need to take part in the outer sect examination, but directly participated in the inner sect selection.
They were all elites, and each of them had experienced at least ten life and death battles, some of them even went to the Demonic Battlefield.
Their battle experience isn’t something you can compare with. In terms of talent, you aren’t much weaker, but in terms of true combat strength, they are ten times stronger than you.
Thus, if you want to preserve your lives, you must put down the dignity in your hearts and actively join their power. That way, your chances of survival will greatly increase. "
The disciples of the fourth region were in an uproar. Looking at the cold faces of the disciples of the central region, they really couldn’t open their mouths to run. They felt like they were begging for mercy.
The most important thing was, even if he went, what would happen if he was rejected? Would he even live?
Su Mo then said to the Central State disciples, "When you come to the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect, you will have to build your own power. This is the best opportunity to expand your influence.
It’s gold, and it will eventually shine, but if it had shone, it would have been taken away long ago, so now it’s a test of your ability to see gold.
The disciples of the four realms might not be as stable in terms of foundation, but their talent is still there, and their willpower is strong enough. They are definitely not much weaker than the people in your team.
Thus, regardless of whether it is joining or recruiting, to the two of you, it is still an opportunity.
"Senior brother Su Mo, I wonder if we can create our own forces. We have the ability to protect others!" Yan Mo Chen suddenly called out.
At the same time, Han Yunshan and Wei Changhai also stepped forward and stood together with Yan Mo Chen. At the same time, there were also many disciples.
When Long Chen saw this, he couldn’t help but shake his head. Even protecting yourself was a problem, and you even had the ability to protect others?
Yan Mo Chen’s intentions were clear. As a fifth-grade heaven’s pride level expert, he definitely did not want to lower his head to others. Hence, he teamed up with Han Yunshan and Wei Changhai in preparation for being their leader.
"Forget it. With that little bit of strength you have, even protecting yourself is difficult. How could you have the strength to protect others?" From the Central State disciples, a tall and skinny man stood out and coldly said.
The appearance of that man caused everyone to jump in shock. His body didn’t emit any fluctuations, but the space around him was constantly warping. There were actually divine inscriptions circulating around his body.
He stood still between the heaven and earth. It was as if he was submerged within water, and symbols began to flash faintly. It was a natural fluctuation, and was not intentional.
"Harmonize the Heavens and the Earth?"
Han Yunshan, Yan Mo Chen, and Wei Changhai were astonished. Other people might not know what it was, but they knew that the Heavenly Dao runes had been condensed to the extreme. A portion of the runes had already fused with the world, and it was a unique phenomenon.
This was the realm that only a fifth-grade postcelestial was qualified to reach. Although the three of them were also fifth-grade postcelestial, to achieve the integration of heaven and earth required not only talent, but endless comprehension.
“That’s right. It is to integrate the heavens and the earth. A Skywalker is unable to even integrate the heavens and the earth, and can only be considered a half-step Skywalker.”
"Only by fusing the heaven and earth with your will can you use the Heavenly Energy. You are still far from being able to do that." The lanky man shook his head.
"You … "Although I have yet to reach the Harmonization of the Heavens and Earth, that is only a matter of time. Even if I do not have the power to do so, I am still a fifth grade Skywalker with great battle prowess. I have the ability to protect myself and a portion of my people …" Yan Mo Chen called out.
“Really?” “Then let’s give it a try. I’ll be your enemy right now and see if you can protect yourself.”
"Phew!"
After the lanky man finished speaking, he did not even kneel down nor raise his leg. Like a shadow, he pounced towards Yan Mo Chen without any warning. By the time the crowd noticed him, he was already standing in front of Yan Mo Chen.
His fist was covered with flashing earthen yellow runes, as he punched towards the skinny, tall man. At the same time, he felt a little worried, as at the same time of attacking, his body was covered with a thick layer of runic armor. He had summoned the Earth Armor.
"Phew!"
However, what shocked everyone was that when Yan Mo Chen’s fist landed on the thin, tall man’s body, the thin, tall man exploded into pieces.
"Such fast speed!"
Long Chen’s pupils constricted. Others might not be able to see it, but they could not avoid Long Chen’s eyes. The moment Yan Mo Chen’s fist landed on his body, the skinny, tall man took a bizarre step and disappeared.
In the eyes of others, the thin, tall man was shattered by Yan Mo Chen’s fist. However, in reality, the thin, tall man was simply too fast, and what was hit was only an afterimage.
"Pa!"
Suddenly, an ice-cold sword was placed on Yan Mo Chen’s neck. The sharp sword’s edge had already pierced through the rune armor on Yan Mo Chen’s neck. Fresh blood slowly seeped out from his skin as the sword slowly dripped down.
For a moment, the entire audience was in complete dead silence. A faint voice rang out from behind Yan Mo Chen:
"Now tell me, how are you going to protect yourself and others?"
Chapter 1014 - The Great Gap
The words of the lanky man echoed in everyone’s ears. At the same time, drops of blood dripped down along the sword, causing everyone to smell the scent of death. Please search for the most complete one! Fastest novel updates
That tall, skinny man was too terrifying. He was as strong as Yan Mo Chen, a fifth grade Skywalker, yet he couldn’t even take one attack. If that tall, skinny man wanted to kill him, his head would already be lying on the ground.
Everything happened too quickly. It felt like it had ended before it even began. The experts of the fourth region all felt their scalps go numb. The disparity was too great.
The disciples of the Central Region all looked on indifferently, as if they were already used to it. Their eyes were filled with a faint sense of ridicule and disdain.
Su Mo stood with his hands behind his back and didn’t say a word, as if everything was within his expectations. The entire place was deathly silent.
“So powerful! What kind of footwork is that? It’s so strange, it’s too fast!” Tang Wan’er couldn’t help but feel great shock in her heart. She had fought with Yan Mo Chen before, Yan Mo Chen’s strength was unquestionable.
The reason why Tang Wan’er was able to tie with him last time was because she was bullying his inexperience. Although the gap between their moves was too big, Tang Wan’er was still unable to defeat him.
However, in front of this lanky youth, Yan Mo Chen couldn’t even take a single blow. The difference in strength between the two of them was simply too great.
“Actually, this is only normal. This is the strength that a heaven’s pride expert should possess. Yan Mo Chen and the rest are just prodigies among Skywalker experts. You shouldn’t underestimate them because they’re only fifth-grade Skywalker experts.” Long Chen said with a smile.
Although he was smiling, Long Chen felt that the blood in his body had inexplicably sped up. At the same time, he also felt the excitement in his bones. It was a kind of desire, a desire to fight against an expert.
"You … You are … I’m not ready for a surprise attack. I’m not ready for one, and I haven’t even agreed to one, yet you’ve already started. " The sweat on Yan Mo Chen’s face started to drip, but his tone was still strong.
"Hahahaha…"
Hearing Yan Mo Chen’s argument, all of the Central State disciples suddenly burst into laughter. They actually wanted to find this reason. It was simply too childish. Did they treat this as child playing house?
Long Chen was also speechless. To think that he had been shot like that. The disciples of the Central Region were not only mocking Yan Mo Chen, but all the other disciples of the Four Regions.
"How childish is that? On the battlefield, the enemy will tell you the rules? Before I kill you, I have to tell you that I’m going to kill you.
The lanky man laughed coldly, "Besides, I have reminded you that you are unable to resist. Furthermore, I did not use the power of the Heavenly Dao talisman, nor did I activate my spirit blood.
You are too weak. You only have a cultivation base, but you do not know how to use it. Even if you are a sheep without a water caltrop, it is still nothing more than food.
Alright, since you are unwilling, I’ll give you one more chance. This time, you three can attack together. If you can withstand three of my moves, then you can build your own power!
The thin, tall man kept his sword and looked at Yan Mo Chen, Han Yunshan, and Wei Changhai. His tone was flat, without any hint of ridicule, but it was so flat that no one could accept it.
"In that case, we have to make a move!"
Yan Mo Chen couldn’t back down now, he couldn’t just give up halfway. Even though he admitted that he wasn’t a match for the thin, tall man, with the combined strength of three people, if he couldn’t even last three moves, he wouldn’t believe it himself.
"Earth Attraction"
Yan Mo Chen shouted coldly, suddenly the ground trembled, everyone felt the ground shake, a terrifying suction force was generated from the ground, everyone felt their bodies suddenly become heavy, they were instantly unable to move, it was unexpectedly a rare gravity technique.
At this time, the mocking expressions on the faces of many people in the Central Region disappeared and was replaced with shock. Yan Mo Chen’s Earth Force was actually this terrifying.
One had to know that they had only felt such a powerful suction force when they were affected. If they were to face the tall and skinny man head on, they would have to endure a force several hundred times stronger than before.
“Very good power of earth, very good!” The tall and skinny man’s eyes lit up as he praised.
However, to be praised by someone of the same age, this was not a compliment. This was no different from a slap on the face. Yan Mo Chen was furious.
"Earth Spirit Fist!"
In the instant that Yan Mo Chen punched out, the endless runes on the ground behind him lit up, and the ground exploded into pieces. From the ground, an enormous arm over three thousand meters long flew out, smashing out with a fist toward the skinny, tall man.
The huge fist shattered the void, causing space to tremble. This was Yan Mo Chen’s strongest attack. He had not even used it against Tang Wan’er.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to use it back then, but he didn’t have the opportunity to because Tang Wan’er wouldn’t have let him use his ultimate move for such a long time.
But now, it was different. The skinny, tall man was holding onto him, allowing Yan Mo Chen’s Great Earth Attraction to lock onto him first. That was why Yan Mo Chen was able to unleash his strongest attack.
Seeing such a terrifying attack, Han Yunshan and Wei Changhai, who were prepared to give up, feared that if they worked together, they would kill that skinny, tall man. That would be troublesome.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, there was an explosive sound. The entire world trembled and everyone was shaken until they staggered. Yan Mo Chen’s huge fist smashed into a rune barrier, causing it to continuously tremble.
Everyone could clearly see the endless power of the rune that rushed towards the light barrier. However, it was broken down by the light barrier and dissipated. The skinny, tall man stood inside the light barrier and lightly looked at Yan Mo Chen.
"Bastard, open it for me…"
Yan Mo Chen let out a loud roar, unleashing his full strength. The ground within a ten thousand kilometer radius around him trembled non-stop, as an endless amount of earth power surged out.
“What an idiot. It’s like trying to break a water bag. That water bag is leaking, so no matter how much water you put in, it’s just a waste of energy. LiQi, Song Mingyuan, don’t learn from him!” Long Chen shook his head and reminded.
“Boss, don’t worry. We have brains!” The two of them hurriedly replied, indicating the greatest difference between them and Yan Mo Chen.
"Ice Slash!"
"Water Dragon Strike!"
At this moment, Han Yunshan and Wei Changhai also noticed that something was wrong. They both let out a roar at the same time and summoned their strongest attack to assist Yan Mo Chen. They were now on the same side as him.
The two of them unleashed their full strength. Their momentum was terrifying. The enormous Water Dragon and Ice Blade mercilessly attacked towards the thin, tall man.
"Break for me!"
The skinny, tall man coldly snorted as he stretched out a hand. A terrifying force suddenly erupted as if a volcano had crumbled, and runes filled the air.
"Boom!"
An explosive sound rang out and three figures were sent flying. Blood spurted out from their mouths. It was Yan Mo Chen, Wei Changhai and Han Yunshan who had been sent flying by this attack.
As for the thin, tall man, he still maintained his one-handed posture, not moving at all. For a moment, everyone could not help but be shocked.
"Why is it so terrifying? Guo Ran couldn’t help being shocked when he sent three people flying with a single strike!
Everyone was shocked. Could this be the difference? A full force attack from three peerless experts didn’t even have the qualifications to shake the opponent? This was too shocking!
"What he used was skillful and his rune was very special. He had actually unknowingly absorbed the power of Yan Mo Chen’s rune and then counterattacked.
This person was very strong, he could actually convert the power of the earth into his own. He could not see any flaws on the surface, and by the time he found out, it was already too late.
Without using any strength, it is the simplest and most effective way to fight the enemy. In a real fight, every extra bit of strength would mean an additional chance to survive. So, this person is definitely a master. " Long Chen praised.
Powerful, experienced in combat. Compared to Yan Mo Chen and the other greenhouse flowers, this tall thin man was probably more than ten times stronger.
“He has a strong body, but I don’t know how to use it effectively. I can only give him my life for nothing.”
From the looks of it now, you may be able to protect yourselves in the upcoming exam. However, you need not speak of such sarcastic words to protect others, as it will cause others to die.
“If you join my team, I can promote you to be my assistant. I’ll teach you the experiences I gained from fighting to the death so that you can become true experts in the shortest amount of time,” the skinny, tall man said as he looked at the three of them.
This sort of method, this kind of method, this kind of slapping first, then using a handful of sweet dates to tempt others, Long Chen couldn’t help but sigh.
However, the slap from before was just right. It was difficult for anyone to refuse, because it wiped away the delicateness of the three and then displayed the magnanimity of condescending to befriend them.
“Hu Guishan, your appetite is too big. Eat three of them at a time. Aren’t you afraid of you holding on?” Suddenly, a cold shout was heard and a huge man who looked like an iron tower came out from the crowd.
When that person came out, everyone was startled. Even Long Chen’s heart trembled. This person was almost three meters, only slightly shorter than Wildie.
However, he had a very thick and sturdy body. He didn’t seem that tall anymore, and his bare arms were actually as thick as a person’s waist.
The veins and blood vessels on his arms were like little snakes slithering under his skin, and his neck was completely covered by his muscles. His vital energy and blood surged like a volcano that was about to erupt.
Faintly circulating symbols could be seen on the bronze colored skin. With every step he took, the earth would shake as well. The sound was like a great bell, causing everyone’s eardrums to ring.
It didn’t look like a human at all, but a humanoid magical beast. Its appearance was incomparably ferocious, causing one’s heart to tremble when looking at it.
“This person has such a strong body. His strength must be extremely terrifying. I’m afraid he’s a legendary Body Cultivator.” Long Chen looked at that person as he spoke to the crowd.
Body cultivation was an extremely powerful type of cultivation, but it was the hardest kind of cultivation. Furthermore, it required an extremely strong physique and there were too few people who met the standard.
Using all of his cultivation to strengthen his physical body to make his physical body tougher than a treasure. Any technique would break it with a single blow and be the most domineering.
"That brat. If you follow me, your physical body will be alright. He should also be a strength type. If you follow him, what can you learn?" That horrifying big man spoke.
Suddenly, another terrifying figure appeared. Yan Mo Chen and the rest were all stunned. It was at this time that a voice that sounded like someone who had escaped from a valley, Huang Ying, rang out.
"Stinking men, you can all fight for it. Girls can all come to me!"
Chapter 1015 - Fire Healing
Following the sound of a melodious voice, a woman walked out from the crowd. She was tall and slender, with exquisite curves. She was a peerless beauty.
Her gentle steps carried a charming charm. Her gem-like eyes, however, carried a coldness that could not be seen in a person at a thousand miles. Her voice, in particular, carried a faint haughtiness.
Following her, a group of people followed behind her. They were all girls, and all of them were extremely beautiful.
"Another troublesome fellow." Long Chen narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice with a serious expression.
“Why are you bothering with them?” Tang Wan’er glared at him.
Long Chen rolled his eyes. Tang Wan’er’s words almost made him pass out. Wasn’t this way of talking too much?
“This person’s Heaven’s Path Runes are hidden around her body, appearing and disappearing at the same time, and not a single drop of her aura is left behind. This means that her control over her strength has reached an extremely terrifying realm.”
Furthermore, the brilliance in her eyes was reserved and natural. It was a reflection of her abundant spirit blood. This woman is extremely powerful! "Long Chen said with a stern expression.
When the woman appeared, both the tall and skinny man, Hu Guishan, and the large man with the iron tower didn’t say anything. It was obvious that they were very familiar with the woman, and there was also a trace of fear in their eyes.
"As long as a woman has excellent aptitude and outstanding appearance, she can become my subordinate!" The woman spoke.
The moment the woman spoke, countless female disciples couldn’t help but be overjoyed and all rushed to her side. Compared to the men, most of the female cultivators were indeed weaker, and now there were people who wanted to take them in and quickly go talk to them.
"Brother Long, tell me, should I rely on this elder sister?" Zhao Ziyan walked up to Long Chen and asked in a soft voice.
Long Chen felt his scalp go numb. It was obvious that Zhao Ziyan was trying to test Long Chen’s words again. Long Chen could only brace himself and say:
"That lady is the phoenix among men, she can crush ten of me with her alone. If Miss Zi Yan follows her, she can learn a lot of things that will be of great help to your future. She is your most wise choice." Long Chen forced himself to smile, but he could feel that his smile was fake.
"Oh, thank you brother Long. I also thought so. Take care, brother Long." Zhao Ziyan also smiled, but there was a trace of disappointment in her eyes.
Looking at Zhao Ziyan’s leaving figure, Long Chen felt a little complicated. Tang Wan’er gently pushed Long Chen away and said, “Idiot, this sister is very good. She has great talent and a high cultivation base. She clearly wants to join the Dragon Blood Legion, why did you reject her?”
“Of course I’m feeling sorry for you. I’m afraid you’ll get jealous.” Long Chen said helplessly.
“Damn it, I don’t believe it!”
Tang Wan’er’s face immediately turned red, but her eyes were filled with joy. It was obvious that she was very satisfied with Long Chen’s reply.
“Long Chen, actually, I’m just a bit petty. However, I’m not someone who doesn’t know what’s important, and I’m not jealous of the fierce woman …” Tang Wan’er held Long Chen’s hand and said gently.
"Really? Why didn’t I see it? " Long Chen was stunned.
“Bastard, do you believe that I won’t bite you to death?” The gentleness on Tang Wan’er’s face disappeared without a trace because of Long Chen’s words. She looked at Long Chen with anger, as if she really wanted to bite him at any moment.
"Yes, I definitely believe that!" Long Chen honestly replied as he nodded his head.
“You’re just a bastard! I’m speaking nicely to you, but you won’t listen. You have to be viciously treated before you can behave yourself!” Tang Wan’er snappily said.
“Alright, Miss Wan’er, if you have anything to say, please be careful.” Long Chen hastily put on a humble appearance as he spoke.
“Don’t mess around. Be serious. I’m telling you something serious!”
Tang Wan’er lightly patted Long Chen and said, "Big Sister Meng Qi said that you can’t have a short temper when it comes to proper matters. It will affect your plans and put the entire Dragon Blood Legion in a difficult situation.
You are the soul of the entire Dragonblood Legion. You bear too much of a burden.
“So big sister Meng Qi said that it’s fine to make a ruckus with you, but at a critical moment, we have to show our support, even if you go — to pick up girls.”
When Long Chen heard this, he was dumbstruck, but when he saw the wronged expression in Tang Wan’er’s eyes, he couldn’t help but feel touched. This little girl loved to be jealous, but for Long Chen’s sake, she forced him not to be jealous.
"Big Sis Wan’er, you are encouraging Boss to chase after Zhao Ziyan. Big Sis Wan’er, you are really great.
Boss, what are you waiting for? The beauty is waving at you. Although it has nothing to do with us being able to catch up to the beauty, it’s good for us to have good eyes … "Guo Ran said expectantly.
“If you’re talking nonsense again, I’ll beat you!” Long Chen angrily said. This brat had never had any serious business with him. He began to talk nonsense even when he couldn’t understand what was going on.
"Long Chen, that Zhao Ziyan is talented, has a high cultivation and unlimited potential. If she were to join the Dragon Blood Legion, she would make it even stronger.
The danger to our brothers and sisters in the future will be reduced by a bit, and their chances of surviving will be greatly increased. I don’t want you to make the wrong decision because of me. “I’m afraid …” Tang Wan’er’s voice was choked with sobs as she spoke to this point.
Long Chen held Tang Wan’er’s hand. His heart was filled with emotions. A person’s personality would never change. Tang Wan’er being able to say such words meant that she was not a willful girl.
Women were naturally jealous creatures, and no one was willing to share their love with others. From a different perspective, if Tang Wan’er had another man in her heart, Long Chen wouldn’t be able to accept it.
Now that Long Chen had refused Zhao Ziyan’s offer to join, Tang Wan’er was deeply moved. However, she still felt some lingering fear.
She was afraid that because of her, the growth of the Dragon Blood Legion would be affected. If one day, someone from the Dragon Blood Legion were to fall from the sky, she would feel guilty.
She wasn’t afraid of death, but she was afraid that Long Chen would hate her. That was what she feared the most, so even though she clearly didn’t like Long Chen accepting other women, she still expressed her attitude.
“Silly girl, when did I, Long Chen, need to seduce women to strengthen my team? I have so many blood-thirsty brothers. It’s enough to sweep through the Central Region!” Long Chen gently wiped away Tang Wan’er’s tears as he comforted her.
“That’s right. Sister Wan-Er, you are worrying too much. With us brothers here, what can’t you do?”
But then again, if there really were beauties joining them, that would be a good thing too… "Ouch!" Just as Guo Ran finished speaking, Long Chen kicked him away.
“Serves you right. You only know how to eat, but not how to hit!” Seeing Long Chen angrily kicking Guo Ran, Tang Wan’er couldn’t help but curse with a tearful smile.
“What I said was the truth. Zhao Ziyan is so talented, and she has such a good character. Why didn’t you try to rope her in?” Guo Ran said with an unconvinced expression.
Long Chen shook his head: "She can’t be too selfish. She isn’t the same person as us, why drag her into this mess?
We walked through the thorns and thorns, stepping on the bones of the dead, our hands stained with blood. Our path was not suitable for others.
Whether it’s Meng Qi, Wan’er, Zhi Qiu, or Chu Yao, it’s not easy for you guys to fight. On the contrary, you guys hate killing.
All of you have no choice but to lift up your butcher knives because of me. I understand the pain in your hearts, I owe you a lot, so why should I owe anyone else? "
“Long Chen …” Long Chen’s words made Tang Wan’er’s eyes turn red again:
"You are always so touching when you speak."
Long Chen rolled his eyes. This little girl was becoming less and less talkative. The good atmosphere had vanished with a single word.
Just when Long Chen was whispering to himself, a few other Central State disciples stood out.
One of them, a man with a long face, gave Long Chen a fright. Because Long Chen could feel a strange fluctuation coming from his body, the fire dragon in Long Chen’s arm started to revolve on its own.
As if the fire dragon was facing some sort of provocation, it actually began to release its aura. Long Chen looked at the man with the dragon’s head. The man with the dragon’s head had also felt Long Chen’s presence.
A strange expression appeared on the face of the man with a thick beard, but he quickly calmed down. He coldly snorted and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Long Chen’s eyes narrowed. There was probably another terrifying opponent for him. That guy also had earth fire in his body, making him extremely powerful.
"This should be a fire elementalist!"
Long Chen was secretly shocked. That person had a terrifying Earth Fire within his body. His rank was only stronger than Long Chen’s Fire Dragon, and not weaker than Long Chen’s Fire Dragon.
Also, Long Chen could feel that there was no wood spirit in this person’s flame power. This meant that this person was not a pill cultivator, but a pure fire cultivator.
Alchemy didn’t just require the power of fire, it also required the power of wood spirits in order to have the aptitude to refine pills.
Without wood spirit energy, fire elementalists were unable to control the subtle changes of the Pill Fire and were unable to refine pills.
Thus, fire elementalists’ flames couldn’t be called Pill Fire. They focused on killing, and were unusually violent. Fire elementalists were also the most difficult people to communicate with. They were irritable, easily angered, and very difficult to get along with.
Long Chen could also clearly feel that the fire elementalist had also sensed the earth fire within Long Chen’s body and was now clearly hostile towards him.
This kind of hostility was an unavoidable relationship between Earth Fire and Earth Fire. Because many Earth Fire relied on each other to devour each other to increase their power, Long Chen didn’t know if that guy’s hostility came from his Earth Fire or him … In itself.
However, besides that terrifying fire elementalist, there was another person that caught Long Chen’s attention. That person was a gloomy-faced man.
He did not reveal any cultivation base, nor did he reveal any signs of the Heavenly Dao. It was as if he was just an ordinary person. However, he gave Long Chen an extremely dangerous feeling.
"This… “He’s a Soul Cultivator!”
Long Chen was certain that this was a rare Soul Cultivator, but logically, a Soul Cultivator shouldn’t give Long Chen such a dangerous feeling.
Just as Long Chen was observing these terrifying figures, he suddenly felt something strange around him. He turned around and saw that the beautiful woman with a aloof face had already arrived in front of Long Chen.
