235 Secrets
Tianxia City!
Many talents had formed groups and set up killing arrays in the spatial pearl together, so it was a headache for those who were still outside. Many were looking for allies to break the array.
“Does anyone want to join us? We already have four Sage Kings and an array master. With five more Sage Kings, we can occupy one spatial pearl!”
“Join us! We have a Supreme Sage leading us. We can definitely occupy a spatial pearl!”
“We only want Sages! We already have 20 Sages in the alliance. If we fight against the other geniuses together, we will have a chance to join the Heavenly Dao Mansion!”
The hollers did not stop. Almost everyone was looking for teammates, but one tavern was the exception. Qin Chen, Ji Daozi, Ling Ran, and the Canglan Continent’s talents were all gathered there. They watched the scene quietly, not in a hurry to enter the spatial pearl.
“Fellow Daoist, are you staying here to help Holy Lord Ling Ran occupy a spatial pearl?” Ji Daozi asked softly.
Qin Chen didn’t try to hide anything and replied frankly, “That’s right. Although with Ling Ran’s talent, she doesn’t need me to do anything, we can’t miss the opportunity to go to Chiyang Heaven. So, I must make sure that nothing goes wrong.”
“Since that’s the case, please let me know which spatial peal you’re choosing in advance. I don’t want to fight with you over a spot,” Ji Daozi said with a smile.
Qin Chen looked at the confident Ji Xuan and suddenly asked, “Daoist Ji, are you doing this for yourself or the sake of your clansmen?”
“Fellow Daoist has seen through me. You are right. I am here to help Ji Xuan enter Chiyang Heaven. As for myself, I have no plans to leave the ten lands for the time being,” Ji Daozi replied softly.
Qin Chen’s eyes widened in surprise. He had stayed here because he had the system, but what was Ji Daozi doing staying? Moreover, Mo Yuan didn’t come either. Did he not plan to go to the nine Heavens?
As he thought of this, Qin Chen seemed to have sensed something and hurriedly asked, “Fellow Daoist, can you tell me why you are staying in the ten lands? Is there any benefit to staying?”
Hearing this, Ji Daozi’s eyes revealed a trace of surprise. He then transmitted his voice, “Fellow Daoist, don’t you know that after the return of Heaven and Earth, the forbidden grounds will also appear? Furthermore, the other factions of the 8 Heavens will also come to the 10 lands, so there’s no need to rush.”
Hearing this, Qin Chen understood. This was the first time he had heard of such a secret. If what Ji Daozi said was true, then it might not be a good thing to go to the Chiyang Heaven now. He would lose a lot of opportunities.
“Why haven’t I heard of it before? Moreover, no one in the Heavenly Dao Mansion has mentioned it either,” Qin Chen asked via voice transmission.
Ji Daozi replied secretly, “Chiyang Heaven is considered the weakest among the nine Heavens. I believe the Heavenly Dao Mansion has paid a great price to come to the ten lands early this time. Naturally, they won’t say these things and give the geniuses of the ten lands other choices. As for those who know these secrets, they won’t risk offending the Heavenly Dao Mansion by announcing it to the public.”
Hearing Ji Daozi’s words, Qin Chen finally understood. The Heavenly Dao Mansion wanted to bring all the most outstanding geniuses of the ten lands into Chiyang Heaven, which was why they didn’t mention the other eight Heavens. They were indeed very scheming.
Since that was the case, Qin Chen was also full of hesitation about Ling Ran going to Chiyang Heaven. Therefore, he secretly sent a voice transmission to Ling Ran and told her everything, wanting to know her thoughts.
Ling Ran’s expression froze when she received the message. She looked a little surprised. After some hesitation, she still decided to go to Chiyang Heaven. After all, with her cultivation realm, it would be very difficult for her to obtain great opportunities in the forbidden grounds. In that case, she might as well enter the nine Heavens as soon as possible. Perhaps her cultivation could be improved faster there.
After getting Ling Ran’s reply, Qin Chen expressed his understanding. Besides, the forbidden grounds were very dangerous, and he was not very willing to let Ling Ran go either. So, when he knew that Ling Ran had decided to go to Chiyang Heaven, he was actually a lot more at ease.
Time passed quickly, and there was not much time left of the half-day time limit. During this period, the lineup in the spatial pearl had changed several times, but no matter which group, after occupying the spatial pearl, all of them would lay down a monstrous array. Even a Supreme Sage might not be able to easily break into the twenty spaces.
“It’s getting late. Fellow Daoist, why don’t we take action so that we don’t block the way of the other fellow Daoists?” Ji Daozi snorted. The other fellow Daoists he was talking about were naturally Cao Xiuxiu, Qin Tao, and others. To avoid fighting with the Elder King and Ji Daozi, they had been waiting for the two to make a move before deliberately avoiding them.
Qin Chen nodded, then stood up at the same time as Ji Daozi. Each of them chose a spatial pearl, and their Supreme Sage might burst out as they charged in aggressively.
After seeing Qin Chen and Ji Daozi move, Man Shen, Huang Yang, and Duo Tianzi, who had been hiding in the dark, also appeared in everyone’s sight. They each entered a spatial pearl.
At the same time, Gu Tianhen and the other human talents from the Canglan Continent also moved. Other than Gu Tianhen, the other talents formed groups of three and entered different spatial pearls.
The others did not stay idle either. Without the threat from Qin Chen and the others, the spatial pearls they could choose were clear and they entered them.
After entering the spatial pearl, Qin Chen was enveloped by a great killing array set up by 30 Sages. The killing array was activated, and a monstrous killing light burst out. Terrifying attacks were launched at Qin Chen with terrifying power.
The Chaotic Holy Body showed its might. The Great Path buzzed as the rule of force was circulated and Qin Chen struck out with the Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist which directly dispersed the attack. Then, he shouted in a deep voice, “Everyone, I’m taking this spatial pearl. It’s not time yet, so you’d better change to another one!”
“What? It’s the Elder King! We’re so unlucky!”
“So what if he’s the Elder King? We have the killing array and so many people. The Elder King might not be able to stop our attack.”
“Don’t be silly, that’s the Elder King! What chance do we have now that he’s here? We should get out of here quickly. Perhaps we can make it to the other spatial pearls.”
“I’m afraid that the other spatial pearls have already been occupied by others. With just us, even if we go out, we will only have a slim chance of winning. Why don’t we fight to the death? Maybe we still have a chance here!”
after knowing that the intruder was Qin Chen, the faces of those in the spatial pearl turned extremely ugly. Some escaped straight away from the spatial pearl, but some were prepared to fight to the death with Qin Chen!
Looking at the remaining dozen or so people and the array that did not pose much of a threat to him, Qin Chen frowned. He did not want to bully the weak, so he spoke again, “Everyone, have you thought it through? There’s still time to leave now. Otherwise, you really won’t have any chance to enter Chiyang Heaven.”
