Very well, this ti I’ll just defeat them at once, eliminating future troubles continuously!
He communicated his agreent to participate through the Jade Pendant to his "adoptive father" Chen Dacheng, then exchanged two Mid-grade Thunder Spirit Stones, continuing his closed-eye cultivation.
Soon, faint sounds of wind and thunder emanated from the Cultivation Room.
...
Four days later, just past noon.
In a green stone Dao Field within the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, Zhao Sheng proudly stood at the center, forming a sword finger with his right hand, pointing towards the void.
In the next mont, a trace of pale blue lightning pierced the darkness, swiftly splitting into sixty-four strands of Sword Light.
These Sword Lights were as thin as drifting threads, vaguely covering most of the Dao Field.
"Slash."
At this mont, Zhao Sheng guided the sword finger, causing the sixty-four strands of Rainbow Sword Light to simultaneously slash towards the Mystic Iron Giant Shield standing on the eastern side of the Dao Field.
With a "crack" sound, the Low Grade Spirit Artifact Mystic Iron Shield emitted a piercing explosion, and then the entire Spirit Shield abruptly shattered into several pieces, with the fracture surfaces surprisingly neat.
Just as Zhao Sheng was satisfied with the small success of the Sword Light Division, the Jade Pendant at his waist suddenly started to flash.
Zhao Sheng reached in with his Divine Sense, his brow slightly furrowing imdiately.
Soon after, he walked out of the Dao Field, coincidentally seeing a man and a woman walking side by side into the courtyard.
"Brother Mingxi, long ti no see? Ming Yan has co to visit."
The speaking man, handso in appearance with a sunny and cheerful disposition, was none other than Chen Family’s second branch peer.
His surna was Chen, given na Yan, only thirty years old yet a skilled master at the Peak of Ninth Level of Qi Refining, arguably a cousin beyond fifth affinity to Chen Qi.
The woman beside him needed no introduction; she was Chen Qi’er.
"Brother Yan, it’s been a while." Zhao Sheng slightly clasped his fist, then turned to Chen Qi’er, calming her restless expression with his gaze.
"Actually, I’ve been wanting to exchange cultivation experiences with Brother Mingxi for a while. Unfortunately, you have always imrsed yourself in cultivation, never giving the chance. Recently, hearing cousin Qi’er said you erged, I ca to visit." Chen Ming Yan cheerfully clasped hands in return, speaking without any hint of hostility.
"Brother Yan coming to such a humble abode is much welcod, please co in!"
Zhao Sheng, while smiling amiably, led the two into the reception hall.
After the three sat down, they exchanged pleasantries for a while.
At this point, Chen Ming Yan suddenly turned the conversation to the matter of the great competition: "By the way, I believe Brother Mingxi is also participating in this year’s family grand competition, right?"
"The family grand competition is a significant event of my Chen family, naturally, I will participate. Speaking of this matter, I have always been focused on cultivation, rarely attending to family affairs, and am unaware of the formidable individuals among the peers, and those who need special attention." Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng imdiately asked in passing.
"You’ve asked the right person about this, among the Ming Generation, regarding strength, Brother Ming Zhou is currently the most prominent, followed by Ming Jie, Ming..."
Spending the ti of a cup of tea, Chen Ming Yan detailed and described a dozen formidable individuals among the peers.
During this, Chen Qi also supplented with several peer won to be wary of.
Zhao Sheng nodded repeatedly, seemingly very concerned, but in truth, he couldn’t care less about them.
"This ti, many thanks to Brother Yan, with this knowledge, I won’t be completely clueless when participating in the competition." Zhao Sheng expressed gratitude after listening.
"Brother Mingxi, you don’t have to be so polite. My cousin and I hold high expectations for your performance in this competition. As long as you make it into the top ten, there’s a great chance of obtaining a Foundation Establishnt Pill."
At this point, Chen Ming Yan suddenly spoke in a low voice: "Brother Mingxi has limitless prospects, surely wouldn’t value a re Low Grade Foundation Establishnt Pill. If so, you might exchange it for so urgently needed treasures.
Let’s speak candidly!
For this Foundation Establishnt Pill, I can offer up to twenty thousand Spirit Stones. This price is very reasonable, feel free to inquire around."
Zhao Sheng’s gaze sharpened, smiling lightly: "Listening to Brother Yan, one might assu my pursuit of the competition’s top ten is like retrieving sothing from a pocket?"
"Haha, isn’t Brother Mingxi thinking the sa way?" Chen Ming Yan laughed heartily, speaking with deep implication.
Zhao Sheng smiled without speaking, his gaze unintentionally sweeping past Chen Qi’er, catching her looking at him with pitiful longing.
After exchanging so more friendly words, Chen Ming Yan took his leave.
After seeing them off, Zhao Sheng turned to appease Chen Qi with a few words.
Then, after sending off Chen Qi, he summoned Chen Fu, instructing him to retrieve another hundred Mid-grade Thunder Spirit Stones.
Chen Fu departed with the task and returned soon, handing over two hundred Mid-grade Thunder Spirit Stones to Zhao Sheng.
Upon seeing the count of Spirit Stones doubled by a hundred, Zhao Sheng imdiately realized that certain people seed very hopeful for his performance this ti.
Back in the Cultivation Room, Zhao Sheng buried himself in cultivation as usual.
Yet, unbeknownst to anyone but himself, he had already reached the Peak of Ninth Layer of Qi Refining, and could break through to the Foundation Establishnt Realm at any ti.
Indeed, the Heavenly Spirit Root hardly requires the Foundation Establishnt Pill at all; after cultivating to Qi Refining Perfection, with a bit of additional effort, he could break past the bottleneck and ascend to Foundation Establishnt.
...
Half a month swiftly passed
On this day, as Zhao Sheng was refining Spiritual Power in the Cultivation Room, the Jade Pendant at his waist flashed once more, followed by a faint transmission entering his mind:
"The family grand competition is about to begin. All Chen Family’s Disciples are urged to promptly gather at Cloud Terrace."
Zhao Sheng imdiately opened his eyes wide, stood, and stepped out of the Cultivation Room.
At this mont, Chen Fu was already holding a Green Winged White Roc in the courtyard, waiting, while Chen Shou was eager beside him, scratching his ears and cheeks impatiently.
Simultaneously, Chen Ying, Chen Qi, Chen Shuang... seven won were aligned outside the door, all looking expectantly towards Zhao Sheng coming out.
Monts later, an Immortal Crane Flying Car followed by a Green Winged White Roc swiftly ascended to the upper sky.
Cloud Terrace was situated atop the Da Chun Divine Tree’s first layer canopy. The canopy, like a canopy cover, spanned hundreds of miles, vast like a great plain.
The first layer canopy stood thirty-seven thousand feet above ground, its crown shrouded in cloud mist year-round, countless palaces and pavilions faintly visible amidst the branches and leaves, presenting an Immortal Realm-like image.
And when Zhao Sheng and the others arrived, the Cloud Terrace, nearly a thousand feet in radius, was already teeming with thousands, and demon beast flying cars and tunneling light were continuously flying in.
Currently, those gathered on the platform were mostly young, very few with childish faces, but mixed with so middle-aged individuals, occasionally glimpsing a few Guang Generation clansn.
In the center of Cloud Terrace, ten Green Wood arenas over a foot high, each several tens of feet in length and width, were distinctly visible.
Behind the ten arenas was a White Jade High Platform, about an acre in size, upon which stood all Chen Family Elders, mostly of Guang Generation, but also with a few Da Generation figures.
Chen Dacheng was conspicuously among them, being surrounded by many of the Guang Generation, indicating his high position and power.
And at the very center of those on the high platform, the central figure dressed in a green Daoist robe, with a strand of long beard, was none other than Family Head Chen Daqian.
Beside him, a large elder with a plump face adorned with downward-eight-shaped eyebrows, surprisingly was not a mber of the Chen family.
Additionally, there was a sallow-cheeked elder with sunken eyes, with yellow eyebrows seated alongside a beautiful woman in Rainbow Clothes, whom Zhao Sheng had seen before, both marked as Chen family’s Da Generation Golden Core Masters.
