Chapter 703

At this moment, Shui Wuhen’s expression was solemn . “This martial gathering hosted by the Xuantian Dao Sect is different from the past . In the past, it was just a trial and experience for disciples . But this time, it has coincided with the opening of the Immemorial Pathway, so it has an added purpose to fight for quotas . ”

“Immemorial Pathway?” asked Long Chen .

“The Immemorial Pathway…” Shui Wuhen sighed . “A thousand years ago, I was also just like you . I also chanced upon the opening of the Immemorial Pathway… but at that time…”

Shui Wuhen suddenly went silent . A trace of fear appeared in her eyes . It was obvious just how terrifying that Immemorial Pathway had been for her .

She sighed, brushing off those miserable memories . “It’s best to just talk about the trial for now . But before that, let me first give you a brief explanation about the structure of the Xuantian Dao Sect .

“Although the Xuantian Dao Sect I’m talking about is just the branch sect, it has tens of millions of elite cultivators . As for the people who can attend the martial gathering this time, they are elites amongst elites . Our thirty-sixth supermonastery is the weakest existence of all the supermonasteries . ” When she reached there, Shui Wuhen became a bit embarrassed .

Long Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry . “The monastery I was at was also the weakest existence . Now the supermonastery is also the weakest existence . Don’t tell me that the branch sect we’re at is also the weakest amongst the branch sects . My luck can’t be that bad, right?”

Shui Wuhen looked at Long Chen . She didn’t say anything for a long time .

“Really? This branch sect is also the weakest?” Long Chen was speechless . How was it possible to have such bad luck?

“Cough, but even so, our Xuantian Dao Sect is still one of the overlords of the Eastern Wasteland . As you’ve seen, almost one hundred thousand people are attending the trial this time from the thirty-six supermonasteries . As for our thirty-sixth supermonastery, we have less than five hundred people . ” Shui Wuhen became even more embarrassed .

Out of these five hundred people, the Dragonblood Legion occupied three hundred and sixty members . That was because the trial’s criteria required that the disciple had to reach the Xiantian realm and was not older than fifty .

Ninety-nine percent of the disciples were washed out by these requirements . If it weren’t for the Dragonblood Legion, Shui Wuhen would have been too embarrassed to even come here to attend the trial .

That was because the other supermonasteries all had over a thousand elites who could attend, or even several thousand . When the thirty-sixth supermonastery was compared to them, they truly were weaker .

And if they didn’t have Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er who were Celestials, then they truly would have been turned into the Xuantian Dao Sect’s laughingstock .

But now that a monster like Long Chen had returned, the thirty-sixth supermonastery’s position had immediately risen .

“Let’s not talk about those elite Xiantian disciples . Just in terms of Celestials, there are thirty-three experts, and amongst them are the Four Heavenly Geniuses and Three Peerless Beauties…” At this point, Shui Wuhen smiled slightly .

As for Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er, they blushed . Long Chen immediately understood that the two of them were within the so-called Three Peerless Beauties .

When it came to looks, Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er were definitely beauties that could bring about the downfall of a state . With their exceptional beauty, it was very normal for them to be in that ranking .

“Could it be that there is someone else that can compare to my two wives? Impossible!” Long Chen was a bit surprised .

Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er blushed even further . Tang Wan-er gave Long Chen a pinch, but Long Chen’s skin was too tough, and she felt like she was trying to pinch dragonhide . She was unable to use the slightest force .

But Long Chen’s words were still praising their beauty, and they both liked that . What women didn’t like such words? Even confident women would be delighted upon being praised .

“As soon as someone mentions a beautiful woman, your tail immediately pricks up . Are you not interested in the Four Heavenly Geniuses?” Shui Wuhen rolled her eyes at Long Chen . This little fellow never paid attention to the important details .

“Cough, nothing like that . I was just curious,” Long Chen explained hastily . But he grumbled inside, “Sister, why must you intentionally frame me?”

As expected, Tang Wan-er, Meng Qi, the Dragonblood warriors, and even the elite disciples from the other monasteries looked at Long Chen with a strange gaze .

“Boss, you’ve already taken two of the three beauties . You’re just lacking one for a complete set . Aiya!” Guo Ran was suddenly sent flying by a burst of wind . He tumbled back and collided against a wall . His head was stuck in the ground as his butt was raised toward the sky . He was stuck in an exceedingly sorry and comical position which caused a burst of laughter .

“Guo Ran, do you think you’re too big for a beating?!” raged Tang Wan-er .

Currently, she was a true Celestial, and she was even a powerful existence amongst Celestials . Guo Ran was unlucky, as with Long Chen present, he had forgotten something .

He had forgotten that even Long Chen wouldn’t fight with Tang Wan-er .

Little Snow had been released at this time, and he had simply been laying there without saying a word . Now, he suddenly let out a growl .

“Haha, even Little Snow says he deserves it!” laughed Meng Qi . She was the only one here other than Long Chen who could understand Little Snow’s spiritual fluctuations .

“Fine, I was wrong . ” Guo Ran crawled up from the ground dejectedly . Now he had gotten smarter, and he hid behind Long Chen . Now, on the off chance he said something wrong again, Long Chen would become his shield .

“Alright, let’s get back to the topic . The Three Peerless Beauties is something the Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples came up with . Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er are two of them . As for the last woman, she’s not just one of the three beauties, she’s also one of the Four Heavenly Geniuses,” said Shui Wuhen .

Long Chen was startled . “Then is she…”

Shui Wuhen nodded . “Yes, she is also a rank two Celestial . She is extremely powerful, and she is definitely no weaker than the other Heavenly Geniuses . That’s because she has inherited King blood . ”

“Inherited King blood? What does that mean?” asked Long Chen .

“Above Sea Expansion is Foundation Forging . That is the Ancestor level . Experts above the Ancestor level are nicknamed Kings .

“They are the absolute rulers of the Eastern Wastelands and the other three outer regions . They can disdainfully look down on anyone else . With a wave of their hands, mountains collapse and seas overturn! They are completely unrivaled existences!” Shui Wuhen couldn’t help sighing, a touch of worship appearing in her eyes .

“Wouldn’t such a person be on the same level as a god or immortal? How could such a person exist?” asked Tang Wan-er .

“In truth, you’ve also seen such a person . ” Shui Wuhen smiled .

“We have? How is that possible?”

“The others haven’t seen them, but those from the first monastery have . That’s especially true of the Dragonblood warriors,” said Shui Wuhen .

“Then you’re talking about… the woman who took away Ye Zhiqiu?” asked Long Chen .

“Correct . If my guess isn’t wrong, she should be a King,” said Shui Wuhen .

Long Chen was surprised . He fell back into his memories . At that time, that woman had stood in the air without any wings . In fact, there had been no fluctuations around her at all . Just like that, she stood in midair . So she was actually such a terrifying existence .

Thinking of how he had actually taken a battle posture against her when she had taken Ye Zhiqiu, he began to sweat . Most likely, she could have killed them all with just a sigh .

“Then that means sister Zhiqiu definitely has been revived!” cried Tang Wan-er excitedly . With such a terrifying figure protecting her, Ye Zhiqiu couldn’t possibly have died .

“That’s why you have to be careful, Long Chen . For a powerful King to personally raise her, Ye Zhiqiu’s cultivation base will definitely reach an incomparably terrifying level . You might get thrown behind by her,” laughed Shui Wuhen .

But then she clapped herself in the head . “What’s going on today; how are we always getting sidetracked? Back to the main subject, the third beauty’s name is Zhong Wuyan . She comes from an exceedingly old ancient family . Although her family has already declined, in her generation, there are signs of her ancestral blood being awakened . If she doesn’t die, she has a ten percent chance of becoming a King,” sighed Shui Wuhen .

“Just ten percent?” Long Chen was slightly speechless .

Shui Wuhen finally couldn’t bear it anymore and gave him a disdainful gaze . “Do you think Kings are cabbages? Out of ten thousand Ancestor experts, maybe not a single one will be able to become a King . Becoming a King not only requires talent and perseverance, but it also requires luck . ”

“Ah, then I’m doomed . With my luck, there’s no chance for me at all,” sighed Long Chen . From this explanation, he knew Kings were blessed by heaven and earth . Long Chen had never received such a blessing .

“Alright, we’ve gotten sidetracked again . Don’t interrupt me again, or this will never end,” said Shui Wuhen . If this continued, who knew what topic they would end up on . It was always Long Chen who disrupted her flow .

“Zhong Wuyan possesses a King bloodline, and she is also a rank two Celestial . Her combat abilities are incredible . She comes from the second supermonastery, which is controlled by the Wang family .

“The Xuantian Dao Sect’s four families are the Shui, Zhou, Wang, and Qu families . The Wang and Qu families’ relationship with my Shui family isn’t bad . They won’t intentionally make things hard for us, so you don’t need to be worried about that .

“The next heavenly genius is Yue Qianshan . He is also a rank two Celestial and is also exceedingly powerful . When he fights with others, his attacks are always killing blows . That’s because he is… a sword cultivator . ”

“A sword cultivator!”

Yue Zifeng narrowed his eyes . He was also a sword cultivator, and he wanted to have a look at that terrifying fellow’s abilities . Sword cultivators were acclaimed as possessing the top offensive ability . Their killing blows were incomparably sharp, and each exchange could determine life and death . They were extremely terrifying .

“Yue Qianshan comes from the first supermonastery, which is controlled by the Qu family . According to reason, he won’t have any conflicts with us, but sword cultivators are known to be extremely prideful and eccentric . You should pay attention not to provoke him .

“As for the third person, Long Chen, you’ve already encountered him, and you’ve even exchanged blows . He is Zhao Wuji . He comes from the fourth supermonastery, controlled by the Zhou family . That’s why he would intentionally target us .

“He is a rank two Celestial, and he controls the great earth’s energy . His energy is boundless, and his physical body is terrifying . He has never met a match in terms of physical strength,” said Shui Wuhen .

Long Chen nodded . It was no wonder he was so powerful . He not only had the power of his physical body, but he also borrowed the energy of the earth .

“And there’s another Celestial?” asked Long Chen .

“Yes . He comes from my Shui family . ” A complicated expression appeared on Shui Wuhen’s face .
