## Chapter Guide

The Four Heavenly Geniuses use Tiandao Cry to withstand the pressure of the final 3 stairs.

Water Pipe reaches the 998th stair first.

As for Zhong Wuyan, a blood-mark appeared on her forehead, forming a rune. However, only the more erudite people knew that it was no rune, but an immortal character: Zhong. This was Zhong Wuyan's ancestral mark.

There were many kinds of ancestral marks, and any Xiantian expert's descendants would inherit some bloodline power.

However, Zhong Wuyan's ancestor had been a terrifying King. The power of her ancestral mark was on a completely different level than Gu Yang's.

The instant the ancestral mark appeared, the void trembled. It was like some mysterious energy was coming from her forehead, one that suppressed the spatial fluctuations. She also reached the 998th stair.

"Today, I'll display what it means to be a true man and what attitude a true cultivator should possess. Without any technique, I will rely just on myself to reach the 999th stair! I'll let you idiots open your eyes to the world!" sneered Long Chen.

As they got closer, their expressions changed. They sensed endless pressure from the 999th stair, and that pressure contained a dense aura of death.

They sensed a mortal danger from that pressure. In other words, climbing to the 999th stair might kill them.

They had never dreamed that the 999th stair would actually pose a danger to their lives. If they messed up, they would lose their lives here.

"It's definitely fake. How could they allow us to die here? I refuse to believe it." Zhao Wuji snorted and charged toward the 999th stair.

When he stepped onto the 999th stair, a translucent flying sword shot toward Zhao Wuji. He hastily blocked, but that flying sword tore through his defense and left a foot-long wound on his chest.

They were horrified. When it came to physical defense, Zhao Wuji was the strongest. The runes revolving around him were even stronger than his spiritual qi armor.

The Four Heavenly Geniuses began to shine with runic light. Activating their strongest defense, they charged to the 999th stair.

BOOM!

The staircase trembled, and suddenly, thousands of flying swords shot out mercilessly at them.

Blood splashed. Countless swords pierced through their bodies, and they were sent flying back. All the Xuantian Dao Sect's experts' expressions changed.

Four huge violet birds appeared in the air, each of them almost three hundred meters long. Those were the Violet Phoenix Sparrows that had reached the peak of the fourth rank. As soon as they appeared, they opened their mouths and spat out a scorching flame that instantly covered an area of hundreds of meters.

"AHH!"

Miserable screams rang out as hundreds of Corrupt experts were burned to ash. Even Chosen were unable to bear it.

"Soul Deathdream."

Atop one of the Violet Phoenix Sparrows, Meng Qi solemnly formed hand seals, and a ripple of Spiritual Strength surged out.

Wilde then beats up Xue Wuya.

The person at the front was Mo Nian. Behind Mo Nian was Mo Yunshan, and behind Mo Yunshan were over ten Xiantian experts. Without saying a word, they just followed him, walking to the core of the plaza, not even glancing at the surrounding experts.

"Mo Yunshan, are you trying to interfere with the matters of the Xuantian Supermonastery?! Your Mo Gate's hands have really stretched far." Sha Qitian's mother icily stared at that middle-aged man. Obviously, the two of them knew each other.

Mo Yunshan curled his lip and disdainfully said, "Even if you begged me to come to this corrupt and worthless place, I still wouldn't have come. However, if my son's brother has difficulties, then as the family head, I should at least come out to show his prestige, right? What do you say, Zhou Qingyu? Are you going to give face to me?"

Sha Qitian's mother's name was Zhou Qingyu. Of everyone present, no one else had known that except Sha Qitian.

Long Chen, Bloodkill Hall

## Storming the Stronghold

LC et al kill some more assassins from Bloodkill Hall.

This large movement drew the attention of all of Chaos City. Experts from both paths were watching from a distance. Seeing this, they all sucked in a cold gasp of air.

By destroying this stronghold, Long Chen had done something no one had dared do for the last few millennia. He had once more provoked the Bloodkill Hall, and he was just in the Meridian Opening realm.

"This time, the entire cultivation world is going to be shaken."

People couldn't help sighing. Long Chen was really too brazen. Perhaps even the Xuantian Dao Sect wouldn't be able to help him now. He would have to meet the crazy assassins of the Bloodkill Hall.

Most importantly, the Xuantian Dao Sect wouldn't even dare try to protect him, because if they did, the Bloodkill Hall would send assassins against their other disciples as well. That was something the Dao Sect did not want to see.

There was no one who could remain guarded forever. Being entangled with the Bloodkill Hall's assassins was incredibly troublesome. So even the Xuantian Dao Sect wouldn't want to provoke those madmen.

## Statue

Long Chen examined the rubble and suddenly stamped his foot on the ground. The earth flew up, revealing the entrance to an underground room.

Miserable screams rang out from the underground room. There had actually been people hiding down here. Long Chen walked in and saw it was very spacious. There was the Killing God statue. LC destroys it. He also etches words on to the wall: As many as come, as many I kill. Only once Long Chen and the others had left did the Righteous and Corrupt experts enter the underground room. Seeing the destroyed statue and the line of words Long Chen had left behind, their hearts pounded.

Long Chen was actually unafraid of infuriating the Bloodkill Hall. He had destroyed the statue of their god and left behind such provocative words. He really was trying to get himself killed.

When Long Chen returned to the Xuantian Dao Sect's mining site, he noticed that the guards had disappeared. Only once he asked around did he learn that Zhou Kun had canceled those posts. In accordance with the orders from the higher-ups, there were four mining sites that were left to Long Chen to guard. So the other guards had been removed. Whether or not Long Chen actually guarded his area, any problems would be his responsibility.

Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er had discussed it and decided to send the Dragonblood warriors to guard those four sites. After all, if there was a problem, Long Chen would have to take responsibility. And so the only ones present were the Dragonblood Legion now.

Long Chen wasn't the slightest bit surprised at this situation. He told the Dragonblood warriors to take care during these days. There would quickly be meat to eat.

As expected, three days later, a huge disturbance erupted. Countless masked experts charged toward Xuantian Dao Sect's territory.

LC slaps Huo Wufang.

At first, Huo Wufang had thought that Long Chen had finally become afraid of his background (the powerful Pill Tower) and was admitting defeat.

But he had just been about to sneer at him when his vision darkened. A hand came from an extremely tricky angle and swung in a profound arc to land on his face.

An extremely crisp sound rang out. That slap sent Huo Wufang flying through the air. His teeth also flew through the air beside him.

That sound, that refreshing feeling, made Long Chen feel as if all his pores had been freshly opened and were singing emotionally.

"Die!" Huo Wufang roared and his flame blade explosively grew, becoming a huge, blazing blade that was three hundred meters long. It cut through the void as it slashed down at Long Chen.

That flame blade came crashing down from the sky, looking like some heavenly blade. This attack not only contained a terrifying flame energy, but it also contained Huo Wufang's powerful will.

In front of that will, the distant Chosen all turned pale, their bodies involuntarily quivering.

They were horrified to realize that Huo Wufang's will also contained a formless pressure that suppressed their souls.

"As I thought, Huo Wufang possesses an ancient bloodline!" The Corrupt Chosen that had exchanged blows with Huo Wufang couldn't help but nod his head.

## Chaos Bead

Now that Long Chen had advanced to the Innate realm, the primal chaos space had grown to a terrifying width of three thousand miles. Other than the black soil and some medicinal fields, Long Chen had filled this entire space with immense trees. The primal chaos space was essentially a verdant forest.

These trees were his life-saving measures. When he was injured, he could draw out their life energy to heal himself. However, with the increase in his cultivation base, his physical body also became much more powerful. When he was injured, it would take an incredible amount of life energy to heal. These trees were unable to keep up with his needs.

The quality of these trees was too low. But for now, he wasn't able to find any better trees, so he could only keep using them. Long Chen estimated that although the primal chaos space had grown larger, he would only be able to recover from heavy injuries a total of three times before running out of energy.

## Chapter Guide

Han Tianyu had come to challenge LC to avenge the deaths of Han Tianfeng and Yin Wushuang.

Han Tianyu's aura was bizarre. It felt as if he had reached the peak of Bone Forging, and his entire body emitted an intense killing intent. He was completely different from before.

But the most intimidating thing to Long Chen was that 3rd person, the young man from the Yin family. He looked young, around the same age as him. But his cultivation base was extremely condensed, and he was clearly a Meridian Opening expert.

Just that person's gaze was able to cause waves in Long Chen's heart. He was definitely extremely dangerous, even more dangerous than a Xiantian expert. He hadn't expected such a terrifying genius to have appeared in the Yin family.

This was clearly a trap, so Long Chen naturally wouldn't just jump in foolishly. Shui Wuhen was present, and he didn't believe they could force him.

So LC refuses.

"You don't want to fight because there's no profit, right? That's fine. Let me add some stakes." The 3rd person from the Yin family, who hadn't said anything this entire time, took out the Meridian Opening Spirit Cliff Fruit.

It was valuable, so LC accepts it and places it in his primal chaos bead. There were a dozen seeds within the fruit. Once he planted those seeds in the soil, they began to germinate in just a breath's time.

LC and Han then begin battle.

Zhang Wu and the woman are part of the Muxue Mercenary Unit.

The majority of this group was men, and they all dreamed of becoming lovers with the woman leading them. She possessed the highest cultivation base of them all, and she was also beautiful like a flower. How could they let a stranger swoop in?

The woman then introduces herself as Mu Xue.

LC introduces his name.

## Long Chen

"Long Chen? That sounds a bit familiar. I think I've heard it somewhere?" Mu Xue frowned.

"Perhaps it's just that my name is too ordinary, and many people have the same name," laughed Long Chen.

"That's true. Most cultivators like to be lofty and come up with a name that can intimidate their opponents." Mu Xue also laughed.

With just a few words, Long Chen found that this Mu Xue truly had the style of a leader. Her words were not at all artificial, allowing a person to feel comfortable around her. It was no wonder she had become this group's leader.

Just now, he had heard them call themselves the Muxue Mercenary Unit. It seemed it was named after her.

"Perhaps it was because my mom wanted me to grow up into an ordinary person," said Long Chen. But a trace of sadness flashed within his eyes.

He thought of those lines on the jade pendant: The Dragon roars at the Heavens, Looking down arrogantly on the mortal world of dust. Live peacefully and happily, Never to be parted.

The first line was domineering and haughty, while the last line was warm and pampering. They were the hopes his father and mother had for him.

## Qingzhou

"Brother Long, this area is a wild land, without any civilization for thousands of miles. Furthermore, even if I tell you the direction to the closest city, there are high mountains and long rivers that will block your path, and it'll be too easy for you to get lost.

"It'd be better for you to stick with us for now. Once we finish our mission, we can bring you back to Qingzhou City. At that time, it will be much more convenient for you," advised Mu Xue.

"Qingzhou? This place is within Qing Prefecture?" asked Long Chen.

"Yes. This place is considered part of Qing Prefecture. If you travel south for a few weeks, you'll arrive at Suzhou," said Mu Xue.

Damn, that bastard Yin Wushang really knows how to chase someone. He actually chased me across prefectures.

"We came out this time because of a mission from the Mercenary Guild. There's someone who wants to buy a certain Magical Beast's core for a high price, but the core must be fresh. We came out to hunt down a Xiantian Magical Beast."

"Our target is called the Hidden Ground Spider. It'll probably be a bitter battle," sighed Mu Xue worriedly.

"The Hidden Ground Spider's crystal core has a rarely seen dark attribute. It's the main ingredient used in refining the Nine Revolution Dao-Heart Pill, and it truly does need to be fresh. The crystal core will lose its energy three months after the Magical Beast's death. It seems your buyer wants to refine pills," muttered Long Chen.

"This crystal core is something the junior gate master of Mo Gate, Mo Nian, requires. So we have to get it for him," sighed Mu Xue.

"Mo Nian?"

"Crushing her right now isn't an option. She's the same as me, a Sea Expansion expert. I'm just higher within the realm.

"Furthermore, I have some bad news for you. Your first monastery is about to get a new sect leader. That's something arranged by the higher-ups, and he'll be arriving tomorrow," said Shui Wuhen.

Chen enters the Huayun auction house.

This time, he had gone over to collect a few of the medicinal ingredients he had asked Zheng Wenlong to gather for him. He was preparing to refine the Heaven Ascension Pill.

After obtaining the ingredients, he had hesitated a great deal before clenching his teeth and giving Zheng Wenlong a pill formula.

That was the Meridian Opening Pill formula, and its main ingredient was the Meridian Opening Spirit Cliff Fruit. It was the best Meridian Opening Pill formula that he possessed.

Even the Pill Tower didn't have such a pill formula. Currently, all the members of the Dragonblood Legion had already advanced to Meridian Opening, so this formula was already useless.

Other than its obvious effect, this particular formula had an even greater use. But for now, that use wasn't as obvious.

## Primal chaos space

Meanwhile the chaos bead black soil had absorbed the Celestial Heavenly Dao runes from Yin Wushang.

"Ah, I get it now! During the Mo family's inheritance, the primal chaos space was trying to absorb the Heavenly Dao seed for this!"

The primal chaos bead's power was too heaven-defying. Not only could it allow vegetation to grow quickly, but it could even absorb the energy of the Heavenly Daos.

At the same time, the Life Star had fully condensed.

Mo Nian again invites Chen et al to Mo Gate.

Although he knew Mo Nian had good intentions, Long Chen shook his head. "Safety is only something temporary. Since we've stepped onto the path of cultivation, there is no such thing as safety.

"Once you become strong enough, you'll end up coming into contact with even stronger people. The struggle never ends.

"Joining Mo Gate will only give us a temporary moment of peace. But that won't guarantee us a lifetime of peace. So, if people want to live, they need to have their own powerful strength.

"Strength is everything. I need to get stronger, to make everyone revere my strength, to make everyone afraid of me, to make it so just my name is enough to make people quake in fear."

"Fine. Then at that time, Han Tianyu will be left to you, and I'll handle Yin Luo. This time I'll see whether I can sever his head." Mo Nian clenched a fist. "However, it seems you've also offended Huo Wufang. That fellow truly is troublesome. He has the Pill Tower behind him, and that's a huge power that no one can provoke."

Previously, Long Chen had been holding back against the 1st Xuantian Monastery. But as a result, all that had brought him was more enemies and more battles. Since that was the case, he would let himself loose and go all-out.

"I've heard that the 2nd Xuantian Monastery's Hua Biluo is very powerful and that she once made a public announcement to all the monasteries.

"She said that those images of your wicked actions were just a contemptible trap set up by others secretly targeting you and that no one should get duped.

"At the same time, she implied that the one targeting you was the first monastery. As a result, there ended up being several clashes between disciples from the first and second monasteries.

"From the looks of it, Hua Biluo wants to help you. My guess is that she wants to suppress the first monastery to fight over first place. You might be able to pull her in," said Mo Nian.

## Violet Phoenix

Back then, they had gained a total of four Violet Phoenix Sparrows, and he had given his to Meng Qi. But Meng Qi had used some unknown method to transfer this housepet to Tang Wan-er, even saying that it was Long Chen who had reserved it for her.

That deeply moved him. Inside, he praised Meng Qi over and over again for being smart and meticulous.

If three of the four of them had Violet Phoenix Sparrows, with Meng Qi having two while Tang Wan-er having none, although none of them would say anything, it would definitely make them feel a little bit unwell.

But Meng Qi had given one of hers to Tang Wan-er and even said that it was Long Chen who had reserved it for her, causing Tang Wan-er to be grateful to him. Long Chen could not be more touched.

However, the Barbaric Wind Beast ignored the Violet Phoenix Sparrow. It opened its mouth and shot out a huge wind blade at Long Chen.

"Yes!"

As soon as Long Chen had seen the Violet Phoenix Sparrow appear, he had set off in a direct line towards it. Now that the Barbaric Wind Beast had let out its attack, he hastily dodged to the side, throwing himself to the bottom of a deep well.

Before Chen and Mo go to the Immortal Intoxication Pavilion, they meet Shui Wuhen.

After the Evil Path and Yin family attacked Xuantian, the Dragonblood Legion finally went public and showed their strength. Because of Dragonblood's strength (300 meridian experts who have undergone complete tempering), no faction wishes to challenge Dragonblood. Shui's internal opponent Zhou Qingyi tried to bring them away for 'battlefield training' but Shui helped veto the action.

"It really was a bit fishy. At first, I suspected it was Zhou Qingyi's plan, but it doesn't seem to be like that. If she did that, she wouldn't obtain that much. But if she were exposed, then that would be a huge disaster for her.

"Furthermore, the one to benefit the most from this matter was the Yin family, because their target is only you.

"However, the ancient families stand on the same side as the Righteous path. They shouldn't dare to collude with the Corrupt path. If they ended up exposed, the Yin family would be doomed.

"So this matter really is extremely odd. There are too many coincidences for it to be natural. I'll definitely investigate it further," promised Shui Wuhen.

Shui then departs, and Chen gets a map.

Following the map, he found Qingzhou City's Huayun auction house. When he arrived and saw the building in front of him, he halted in awe.

The grand and luxurious style was extremely shocking. It was a cylindrical building, one with a diameter of several miles. The entrance had Magical Beast cores embedded into it. Those special cores continuously flashed with different colors, dazzling passerby.

Just the Huayun Pavilion in the Phoenix Cry Empire had appeared incredibly lavish to Long Chen back then. But now compared to this auction house, it was absolutely nothing.

## Details

They fight the spider.

Suddenly, a warrior was sent flying by a spider leg. He vomited a mouthful of blood, and Long Chen hastily rushed over, holding that person in his arms.

"Brother, brother, you have to hold on! You'll be fine! You can't die!" Long Chen held this person as he cried out; his voice filled with sorrow.

"Brother, I'm fine- AH!"

Before he could continue, he felt a sharp pain on his leg and let out a miserable howl.

But that howl was cut off midway. He collapsed powerlessly. Long Chen had slapped him unconscious. He sighed inside, "Sorry brother."

"Don't die, don't die!!!" Long Chen shook him over and over, trying to rouse him.

This scene was seen by everyone. But they were unable to see Long Chen's hidden actions, and their eyes all turned red.

Mu Xue then lashes out and attacks the spider, advancing to Innate level.

They then behead the spider and take home its corpse.

But at the end...

"Ah! Long Chen, you bastard, how dare you plot against me!" The person who had been slapped unconscious by him had finally ‘revived from the dead' and angrily cursed Long Chen.

As soon as Long Chen and Mo Nian had arrived, a pretty, green-robed maiden received them (Xiao Lv). LC says they have an appointment on the 9th floor, first rank Heaven tabl, as was written on the invitation card Mu Xue had sent.

The maiden then led Long Chen and Mo Nian.

## Paintings

Passing by the small lake, a long corridor appeared in front of them. The ceiling of the corridor had been painted over, depicting all kinds of women. They were all playing musical instruments such as the zither or flute. Their bearings were all different, but they were vivid and lifelike.

This one corridor was very long, stretching several miles. There were thousands of paintings on the ceiling, and each one depicted a different woman.

Long Chen suddenly paused, looking at one particular painting (Han Wei, the 9th Divine Musician). That painting depicted a woman standing proudly high in the clouds, her jade hands playing the zither. Her long black hair seemed to flutter, and she seemed just like a fairy.

Long Chen stared deeply into that woman's eyes. He could sense an extremely profound killing intent that was exceptionally icy.

On the outside, that woman didn't seem to have an expression. She seemed calm, looking like she was just playing the zither normally. But Long Chen could sense her intense killing intent. He vainly tried to see something more.

The two of them didn't notice that when Long Chen said there was strong killing intent in the painting, the green-robed maiden leading them had shaken ever so slightly, an expression of disbelief flashing over her eyes. However, her back was facing them, so they didn't notice.

## Floor 9

They arrive to the ninth floor to greet Mu Xue, Zhang Wu, and the other men.

When Long Chen had blocked a Xiantian weapon's full strength attack, that shocking majesty had made him appear like a god, and it had completely shaken all of them. These men now thought of Long Chen as a hero, so they were incomparably excited upon seeing him arrive.

Long Chen cupped his fists towards them. Long Chen also very much liked this group of straightforward men.

Mu Xue had reserved a private table for the group. Servers had brought over delicious delicacies that made the price worth it.

Mu Xue was a good leader. She handled things meticulously, rarely making any mistakes.

## Chapter Guide

A flood of countless Gadfly-Ant Corpse Devouring Insects surged out to attack Huang Junmo.

Six hours pass, and the swarm ends.

Right now, Huang Junmo was surrounded by ten thousand of the more powerful Gadfly-Ant Corpse Devouring Insects. That was the final wave, and their bodies were incredibly strong. Even Huang Junmo's Treasure item sword had difficulty breaking their defense.

Just a moment before this, Huang Junmo had been hoping to ask this Great Spirit God's seventh divine general Huyou Niyadenidaye to help him at a critical moment.

But now realizing that this great Huyou Niyadenidaye was Long Chen, his head suddenly became crystal-clear. He also suddenly realized the true meaning of Huyou Niyadenidaye.

Huang is then poisoned by the insects. The poison turns his leg into mush. Huang was also bitten in the arm.

Huang's Golden fate lines appear.

Huang Junmo had no choice but to cut off his arm. His translucent sword turned into a ray of light that pulled him away.

Wherever that light went, those insects would be blown apart. Over half of the insects encircling him were killed.

This was clearly Huang Junmo's life-saving trump card. And it was an extremely powerful one as none of the insects were able to stop it.

"No wonder his golden fate lines didn't even twitch. He still had such a terrifying trump card to fall back on. Hehe, many thanks for teaching me this, senior," said Long Chen.

"Long Chen, the rest of the insects are coming towards us!" warned Yue Xiaoqian.

Currently, only a few of the elites of the Gadfly-Ant Corpse Devouring Insects remained. Their numbers had been greatly reduced thanks to Huang Junmo, and it would be extremely easy for them to handle the rest.

"Hehe, Little Momo really is useful," laughed Long Chen. This was his first time feeling like Huang Junmo wasn't so hateful.

Long Chen took out his broadsword. He knew that although these remaining elites were strong, killing them wasn't too difficult. That was especially true since he specialized in brute force.

"Wait a moment. There's no need to use foolish brute power to get rid of these remainders. Take out that ancient lamp. I'll teach you how to use it," said the Eastern Wasteland Bell.

"Oh? Can you explain it in more detail?" Yu Tong's eyes brightened slightly.

"The word known as the Dao is a set of laws. According to my understanding, the Dao is a kind of truth.

"This truth contains two sides, which is why the Dao can be split into Yin and Yang. Everything within this world has two opposing sides. If there is a high, there is a low. If there is an up, there is a down.

"For example, let us say one side is Yin and one side is Yang. Then this so-called Yang Dao is the hard side of cultivators. When brute strength is taken to the peak, it is so fierce that others are helpless. It is filled with the courage to charge forward despite all obstacles. That is the Yang Dao. Now, about the Yin Dao. The Yin Jing Dao is-"

"Pfft!"

Long Chen was in the midst of drinking when he suddenly spat it out below the table. It was lucky his reaction had been quick enough, or it would have spurted all over the table.

Mo Nian immediately realized what he had said and rephrased, "This Yin side of the Dao is to use soft force. Like the water the wood floats on, the waves of the water can also snap the wood and devour ships. Although it is not an explosive power, its power is still limitless, possessing no beginning and no end.

"If you have too much Yang force, it'll be easy for you to snap. If you have too much Yin force, you'll have no sharpness. The two of them are not true strength. True strength is a combination of Yin and Yang, the two of them complementing and making up for the other's flaws.

"This is my comprehension of this so-called Dao. In my opinion, nothing is absolute. Whether you reach the pinnacle of Yang or the pinnacle of Yin, they are both dead paths. Only when the two combine will there be life."

The three women couldn't help but clap. Yu Tong said, "Mister Mo Nian's knowledge and experience truly is amazing. It has let me see an even vaster world. I have benefited immensely."

Yu Tong then asks Mo Nian what is King Dao.

Yue Zifeng, Li Qi, Song Mingyuan, and Guo Ran had all become Celestials.

The vice sect master returns the XTD east branch to the Xuantian Plaza. Over 400 XTD disciples died from the Nine Netherworld Path, their souls disappeared. 7 members from the XTSM 36 died.

Reality was just this cruel. If you wanted to get stronger, you had to take risks. No one in this world could become a supreme expert without taking any risks.

If you wanted to become an expert, you had to risk your life. If you didn't want to become an expert, you would have to accept that an expert might take your life at any moment. The cultivation world was just that cruel.

Gu Yang went into seclusion to refine the Tiandao Fruit to become a Celestial.

LC enters the chaos bead to see Huo Long refining 5-ring Gongqi pills.

He began to consume the five-ring Enlightenment Palace Pills.

He had to work fast. Once he reached a certain point in condensing the star, he would have no choice but to finish.

Furthermore, he had seen some clues about his origins in the Nine Netherworld Path. Now he wanted to see his parents even more. He had to reach the peak of the cultivation world as fast as possible.

Even something as amazing as Future Lake had been unable to completely divine the past of the jade pendant. That meant some powerful force had disturbed the Reincarnation Mirror. That was enough to prove how shocking his origins had to be.

The thing that startled him the most was that Future Lake had been able to see a corner of his past, but not even the slightest bit about the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art. Just trying to take a peek had caused it to explode. That made him think of some terrifying possibilities.

But the mysteries he had to unravel were too huge, and he still wanted to be able to live after unraveling them.

Three days passed without the slightest sound from the Xuantian Dao Sect. On the other hand, a loud explosive sound suddenly came from Long Chen's hand, and a terrifying energy erupted.

Ha Qi tries to kill Chu Yao, but suddenly:

A cold light shot past him with a splash of blood. That was an arrow that had brushed against his nose. If Ha Qi had been even the slightest bit slower in reacting, his head would have been pierced.

"Can my Long family's daughter-in-law be bullied by the likes of you?"

A deep and resounding voice spread throughout the entire battlefield. It shook everyone's hearts, as the voice contained an extreme contempt and killing intent.

Everyone was completely shocked. They had been completely focused on Yun Qi's battle, but at some point, three more figures had appeared on the battlefield.

The person at the front was a tall man with a lion's nose, a wide mouth, and sword-like eyebrows. He appeared incredibly powerful. His cheeks were so sharp that they seemed to have been carved with a knife, and an icy killing intent soared from him.

"Long Tianxiao!"

That was one of three top experts of the empire, the Border Suppression Marquis Long Tianxiao who was praised as the strongest man in all of Phoenix Cry!

LC also gives some Divine Mortal Molting Elixir to GR.

GR then takes out the treasure he scavenged from the skeleton mountain.

4 treasure chests were empty. But the 5th had an explosion rune, which GR records.

Long Chen once more opened five empty cases. The sixth case had a jade slip called the Lightning Body Blink. LC experiments with this lightning shufa.

Guo Ran opens the rest of the cases. As for next steps, GR will go into seclusion to refine the Tiandao Fruit and then find Song Mingyuan and Li Qi. LC meanwhile continued deeper into the Immemorial Path. He had already chosen his next target.

Blooddrinker returns from the Primal Chaos Bead.

But during the fight, the ground exploded. The four of them (LC, Yue, Yu, Xue) immediately sensed space caving in. They suddenly found they were unable to fly away.

A furious roar suddenly shook the land. It was like thunder in their ears. A huge, blazing figure broke out of the ground.

That figure was three hundred meters tall. It appeared to be an ape, but its face was twisted. Its eyes were like lanterns, and its entire body was covered in flame runes.

"It's a Flame Devil!" shouted Yue Xiaoqian.

The Flame Devil roared and its runes exploded. With it at the center, everything within three hundred miles was engulfed in a sea of flames.

Ji Hongling's face was extremely dark. She hated Jiu Qifeng for being such an idiot. He was both stupid and a coward.

He was clearly a Celestial. Even if both sides had to be injured, he could still use his Heavenly Dao runes to heal. It wasn't like he would die, so why did he have to hesitate?

It was that slight hesitation that had caused his death. He hadn't just lost his life, he had lost all her face.

Originally, the Remote Heaven Gang had entered a golden age with many geniuses. Ji Hongling was already irritated with having to stand on the same level as the Xuantian Dao Sect's branch sect. She wanted to suppress them to show everyone that it was the Remote Heaven Gang that was the Eastern Wasteland's strongest power.

Although they had to be worried about the main sect in the Central Plains, after all these years, they had found that the head sect essentially ignored the branch sect. All problems were to be resolved by the branch sect by themselves.

And so Ji Hongling had planned to use the opening of the Immemorial Path to suppress the Xuantian Dao Sect in front of the Eastern Wasteland's top powers. Then she would begin to pull those powers to her side, strengthening the Remote Heaven Gang.

"Hmph, Jiu Qifeng received an internal injury when fighting the Corrupt path previously, which is why you managed to win. You suicidal brats, it seems it'll be up to me, Wang Yiping (王一平), to teach you what respect is!"

Suddenly, a thin and tall man walked out. He pointed at them as he spoke, which was extremely rude. It was a naked provocation.

This skinny man was a rank two Celestial. As soon as he came up, he released his Tiandao Cry. Two different kinds of runes interwove in the air. A loud rumbling like the waves of the sea came from his runes.

"Let me handle him."

What Long Chen hadn't expected was for Zhong Wuyan to be the first one to stand out. As soon as she went forward, she summoned her ancestral spirit support.

Long Chen was surprised to see Wang Yiping release light from his body that made his body indistinct. It was like he was merged into space, and Zhong Wuyan's attacks were weakened a great deal. Furthermore, even the ancestral spirit's attacks were weakened.

"Zhong Wuyan has been suppressed!" Tang Wan-er was surprised. She had never seen such magical art.

"It should be a spatial magical art. He's using spatial strength to weaken her attacks. It also possesses a restrictive effect that makes Zhong Wuyan suffer. Her speed and power are clearly lower. If this continues, she won't be able to gain any advantage at all," said Long Chen.

Wang then knocks Zhong back. Long Chen then turns to Yue Zifeng.

"I'll leave him to you. Use him as an offering to your sword."

That man was instantly blanketed by the yellow powder. However, it seemed that the powder was just ordinary powder. It didn't contain any offensive power.

This sneak-attacker was naturally the Bloodkill Hall's top assassin, Huang Junmo. He had been hidden on the battlefield the entire time. In fact, he had been there ever since Long Chen had arrived at Drake Mountain, only holding back the entire time because he had never found a good time to kill Long Chen.

When Long Chen had arrived at Drake Mountain, he had felt that something was off. However, he hadn't been able to pinpoint the exact reason. It was as though he was being stared at by an expert, but he had been unable to sense the expert's position. That had made him keep his guard up. The only one who could hide his existence from him was a peak assassin like Huang Junmo.

The Nine Netherworld Path trial starts. The trial focused on the person's soul and will. Those with weak wills will be crushed. The difference between real and illusory images could be fatal.

Vice sect master also says: "let me warn you about one last thing. You absolutely, absolutely cannot try to see your future in the trial." The vice sect master's gaze roved across Long Chen and the Four Heavenly Geniuses.

Meng Qi, Tang Wan-er, and Long Chen entered the mist together.

The mist was still extremely heavy, and he could only see a few meters in front of himself. This mist was extremely strange. His Spiritual Strength was unable to go through it. There was no way for him to activate his divine sense.

Suddenly, a roar came from behind him. Long Chen hastily turned back to see a thirty-meter flame leopard attack him.

But it was an illusion.

LC also fights an illusion of Shui Guanzhi. The Nine Netherworld Path was special, and other than soul energy, no other energy could be used. There was no way for Shui Guanzhi to use a magical art.

The vice sect master waited until everyone had entered the Nine Netherworld Path to take out a strange chessboard. This was no ordinary chessboard. In truth, it was a map.

The map revealed an extremely complicated and interweaving labyrinth. There were countless dots of light that slowly appeared.

Each of those dots represented a disciple. With so many dots, no one could tell who was who.

"Eh, why is that dot so much brighter than the others?" asked a monastery head.

"This disciple killed comparatively more spiritual beasts and absorbed more Spiritual Strength than the others. For someone to already have such a huge lead at the very start, who could it be?" One of the monastery heads who had attended the trial multiple times explained.

The vice sect master pressed the dot and formed a seal with his other hand. The map disappeared, revealing a figure.

"It's her?"

That image was of a peerless beauty. With a wave of her hand, a spiritual arrow shot out, killing all the densely packed spiritual beasts in front of her. That power was absolutely shocking, but she accomplished it so easily.

This woman was naturally Meng Qi. As soon as she had figured out the situation with the Nine Netherworld Path, she had begun a slaughter of the spiritual beasts here.

Although her spiritual seed had come from Long Chen, absorbing this Spiritual Strength would greatly strengthen her spiritual sea. She was like a fish in water here.

After that, a few other dots rapidly brightened as well. Those people were the Four Heavenly Geniuses, and surprisingly, the fifth person wasn't Long Chen, but Tang Wan-er.

"What is Long Chen doing?" The monastery heads were all dumbfounded. It couldn't be that he was goofing off, right?

Zhao Wuji arrives. He says LC's 2 beauties are his, referring to Tang Waner and Meng Qi. So LC slaps him.

But then Shui Wuhen breaks up the fight.

The vice sect master also arrives.

"Since the trial is about to start, I won't give you much punishment. The two of you must repair all the bricks here perfectly, or don't even think about attending the trial. And if anyone helps, you'll all lose your qualifications," ordered the vice sect master. Just like that, he turned and left.
