Chapter 663

The Heavenly Mountain Platform was actually a cliff with an open view .

Shrouded in clouds, it looked like heaven after being decorated with

meticulous care .

It was only big enough to hold about 100 people . Those who had been invited

here were all famous people in this small desolate land .

Many people were surprised to see Yi Chen and Wen Xin seated there with

Jiang Chen and Lil Fan .

Jiang Chen saw many Venerables there .

Their general level was even lower than that of the young Venerables from the

Three Lower Realms .

However, those young Venerables were the best of the Three Lower Realms,

while these people were just average in the Three Middle Realms . They

shouldn’t be compared at all .

After all of the guests had arrived, the leader of the Ancient Sword Sect

appeared, surrounded by her disciples .

“Happy 80th birthday to Mistress He!”

Saying with one voice, everyone on the Heavenly Mountain Platform got to

their feet simultaneously, as if they had rehearsed this .

“Happy 80th birthday to Mistress He!”

Then the guests seated in other places also said with one voice, resonant

enough to shake the clouds .

The leader of the Ancient Sword Sect, an old woman but still going strong,

was beaming .

Jiang Chen was very surprised, but soon he had to admit it was quite normal .

In fact, this was what a small part of practicers would achieve in the end .

After all those efforts, they finally got there, where they could enjoy the wealth

and the respect that they had gained through strength, but they also got old .

Jiang Chen estimated this old woman could at most launch three all-out

attacks .

That was why everyone was talking about talents and valuing young

geniuses .

Young geniuses still had a long life ahead . If everything went smooth, they

would achieve something great for sure .

Jiang Chen came up with such thoughts because of his father Jiang Qingyu .

The Mistress expressed her gratitude to everyone . Then the Venerables

started an interesting conversation, while the Reaching Heaven States on the

spot were listening to them .

“Why don’t we let the young people have a competition to liven up the

atmosphere?” someone proposed .

The Heavenly Mountain Platform was the perfect location to hold and watch a

competition, so the proposal was agreed by most of the people immediately .

“Don’t go too far . Peace is what matters most,” the Mistress said .

“Of course . “

No one had a second opinion . Everyone was waiting to see who would be the

first volunteer .

“Since the Clear Spirit Sect is also sitting on the Heavenly Mountain Platform,

I guess their representatives must be great . Apprentice Sister Yi Chen, let’s

exchange some blows . “

Shi Ling came forward confidently .

It would be fine if it was just Shi Ling . However, Yi Chen found all of the other

women were looking at her in an unkind manner .

Then, laying her eyes on Apprentice Brother Song, who was also standing

there, she tumbled to the reason .

I can’t lose!

Yi Chen told herself . She rose to her feet .

“Yi Chen, let me handle her,” Wen Xin said, obviously worried .

Shi Ling was in Cloud Four, while Yi Chen was in Cloud Three .

“No . ” Yi Chen flew into the air .

Jiang Chen found the people here weren’t using any list to rank the practicers .

What mattered to them was state . This was not commonly seen in the Three

Middle Realms .

Nevertheless, to give it a second thought, those lists were created because

too many people were in the same state .

In this small place, for example, on the Heavenly Mountain Platform, Jiang

Chen could only see thirty-odd Reaching Heaven States .

Everyone knew whose disciples were strong and whose disciples were skilled

at sword method . For this reason, a list wouldn’t be necessary .

Shi Ling and Yi Chen were both known as average Reaching Heaven States .

Standing in the air face to face, Shi Ling and Yi Chen were both holding a

sword .

Jiang Chen was never a genius who could be evaluated by state, but he had

to admit Yi Chen was at a disadvantage .

Especially after finding her sword method was also the Sword Method of

Breeze, he already guessed the result .

He had seen Wen Xin exert this sword method . Judging from Yi Chen’s

character, it didn’t suit her .

Although she could practice it, it was quite impossible for her to master it

perfectly .

The fight soon started . The two women didn’t say any unnecessary things .

They attacked directly, a sword movement versus a sword movement .

She will lose .

Seeing Shi Ling attack, Jiang Chen confirmed his assumption .

“Flying Rainbow Sword: Whoosh across the Sky!”

Shi Ling consolidated her advantageous position after throwing her sword

over . Yi Chen kept retreating . The situation was more and more unfavorable

for her .

To Jiang Chen’s surprise, Yi Chen wasn’t frustrated or desperate .

She seemed to have anticipated this .

Jiang Chen felt respectful of her, since she had accepted the challenge

without any hesitation .

“She is too bossy!” Wen Xin said out of anger .

After some blow exchanges, it was very clear that Shi Ling could win the

victory, but she didn’t end the fight .

She kept making a fool of Yi Chen in the same way a cat would play with a

rat .

She didn’t intend to hurt Yi Chen, but kept patting every part of the latter’s

body .

Yi Chen leaned to one side to dodge, but even the side of her stomach got a

pat .

“Please stop . The result is already obvious,” getting to her feet, Wen Xin said

to those from the Primordial Wood Sect .

“As long as Yi Chen admits her defeat,” someone from the Primordial Wood

Sect said casually .

It was true, but Wen Xin knew Yi Chen wouldn’t just do what they wanted her

to do .

Pah!

A dangerous scene happened in the air . Shi Ling’s sword got Yi Chen’s right

cheek .

Fortunately, it wasn’t the tip of the blade . Otherwise Yi Chen’s face would

have been ruined .

“Look at you . You think you’re good enough to get Apprentice Brother Song?”

Shi Ling scorned .

“Damn it!”

Yi Chen couldn’t swallow it . She wanted to go on attacking .

“Enough . Young people, calm down,” the Mistress suddenly said . Then the

two women in the air felt they had met some obstruction .

Shi Ling landed on the Heavenly Mountain Platform complacently .

Pretty frustrated, Yi Chen didn’t even dare look at Apprentice Brother Song .

“It’s all right . Your state is lower . It’s nothing to feel ashamed of,” Apprentice

Brother Song comforted her .

Encouraged by Apprentice Brother Song, Yi Chen cheered up immediately .

“Your sword method doesn’t suit you . You should stop practicing it,” Jiang

Chen said .

Out of question, what he got was nothing else but Yi Chen’s contemptuous

look .

“Clear Spirit Sect has made such a great effort to train you two . You finally

became Reaching Heaven States, but you are still so lame . You even

collapsed at the first blow . “

Shi Ling, the winner, said .

The people on the Heavenly Mountain Platform burst out laughing .

Wen Xin was so angry that she sprang to her feet . She said, “Primordial Wood

Sect, show me how great you are . “

“You?” Sizing her up, Shi Ling didn’t take her seriously .

“Sword Divinity, do you think Wen Xin is a match for her?” Yi Chen asked

Jiang Chen unhappily .

Jiang Chen didn’t answer, since the answer was obvious .

He decided to do something . He stood up and came up to Wen Xin . Lowering

his voice, he whispered into her ear .

He went back to his seat, without giving Wen Xin any chance to question him .

Wen Xin looked confused . None of the others knew what Jiang Chen had

said .

Soon, Wen Xin flew into the air first .

“Shi Ling, would you like to take a rest first?” someone from the Primordial

Wood Sect said in a caring tone .

“No . I wasn’t serious at all in the fight with somebody . Hopefully her sibling

disciple is a little bit stronger than her,” Shi Ling said .

She said it so loudly that Yi Chen could hear her perfectly . Yi Chen’s face

sometimes turned black and sometimes turned pale due to anger .

“It’s your fault . “

She suddenly looked at Jiang Chen, putting the blame on him .

She had intended to stand in the limelight by getting seated in the Heavenly

Mountain Platform, but in the end, she made such a fool of herself .

“Anything to do with me?”

“Didn’t you say that sword was yours?” Yi Chen’s answer was totally

unreasonable .

Jiang Chen shook his head . He was a good-tempered person . If it were

others, she would have got a slap .

“You’re too restless, and not resolute enough . If you can’t improve these two

weaknesses of yours, the Reaching Heaven State will be the farthest you can

go,” Jiang Chen said .

“You sound you know a lot . Did you just tell Wen Xin these great truths, too?”

“Sort of . “

“Wen Xin will be doomed if she listens to your advice,” Yi Chen said angrily .

“Not necessarily,” Jiang Chen said, smiling .
