At this mont, nine fighting stages were slowly drawing together under the control of the Golden Core Ascendant Master’s imnse Qi Power.
A sword fighting platform, nearly a thousand zhang in length and width, gradually began to take shape.
At this juncture, the Great True Disciples all descended from the high stage, grouping together according to the closeness of their relationships.
They discussed amongst themselves, how to face the opponents in the impending True Disciple Sword Fight.
Many of them had grim expressions on their faces.
Especially a few who were ranked in the middle.
On the contrary, the last two didn’t seem resentful at all.
They were enthusiastically saying, "It’s been a long ti since I’ve sparred with senior brother, please show so rcy later!"
"Junior brother is too courteous, we’ll stop when a point is made, how about that?"
"Excellent, excellent!"
Securing the Great True Disciple Position had already proven their abilities.
Next, they just needed to display a fraction of their strength.
A Seed Cultivator?
There was no need for such lofty aspirations.
The position of a Great True Disciple was quite decent, as they would already be entitled to a portion of the resources.
Luo Chen and that Pill Refiner from the Fu Family stood together, whispering about sothing, occasionally glancing at the others from the corner of their eyes.
Inwardly, Luo Chen shook his head.
The Seed Cultivator Battle at Qingdan Valley might have been high-profile, but it was far from intense.
Sect Disciples might fight amongst themselves and undercut one another, but they at least had limits.
By comparison.
Those Rogue Cultivators who had scratched and clawed their way up would often fight to the bitter end once conflicts arose.
In terms of cruelty, such struggles far exceeded this Sect competition.
"Friend Dan Chenzi, I truly admire your Pill Refinent Technique! I was pretty confident in making the Dustfall Pill myself, but I was still nervous. I didn’t expect you to succeed on your first try."
Fu Hua’s complints reached Luo Chen’s ears.
Luo Chen responded with a modest smile and a dismissive gesture.
Fu Hua continued, "I fear that after this event, many will regard you highly, and it wouldn’t be too much to regard you as an honored guest among the Great Sects!"
Triumphing over his peers, crushing his contemporaries.
Dan Chenzi’s reputation for his Pill Refinent Technique had already spread throughout Qingdan Valley, and it would soon cause a stir across the entire Yu Ding Realm!
The fervent invitations would undoubtedly flood in once the True Disciple Sword Fight was over!
Or to say, they had started to co even before the end, even before the beginning.
"Shangguan Yan, what do you think you’re doing?"
Tao Wen had, at so point, positioned herself in front of Luo Chen, blocking Shangguan Yan.
Behind her, Luo Chen and Fu Hua, who had stopped their conversation, stood.
Shangguan Yan let out a coquettish laugh, "What can I do? With Master Dan Chenzi being so formidable, of course, I’d like to seek his advice on the Dao of Alchemy!"
"You’re not welco here!" Tao Wen said coldly.
Shangguan Yan frowned, "You are only the number one True Disciple right now, not yet a Qingdan Seed Cultivator. You’re quite imposing, aren’t you?"
Tao Wen revealed her pearly white teeth, "Correct, I’m not a Seed Cultivator yet. But as for you, being the fifth True Disciple, whether you can even make it to face during the Sword Fight is uncertain. Coming here in advance, are you trying to compensate for future regrets?"
Shangguan Yan’s complexion changed drastically, teeth clenched tight.
Shaking with anger, she stared at Tao Wen.
Then she flung her sleeves and left.
Watching her departing figure, Tao Wen felt a sense of relief.
But scanning her surroundings, she noticed many Great True Disciples occasionally drifting their attention towards Luo Chen.
This caused her to tense up inside!
Luo Chen’s importance had beco more than just an auxiliary ally.
With his mastery in Pill Refinent, he was enough to be regarded as a distinguished guest among the Great Sects.
The Tao Family, naturally, could not hold onto him.
But even if the Tao Family couldn’t keep him, if she, Tao Wen, could beco the Qingdan Seed Cultivator, she would possess the qualifications to keep him.
At the very least, she couldn’t let him fall into the hands of these competitors!
The probe by Shangguan Yan was just the first.
How to face what cos next, or rather, how to retain Luo Chen?
While she was considering this, a disciple ca to notify her that the arena was ready, and the True Disciple Sword Fight was about to begin.
All the Great True Disciples started to move.
Luo Chen followed behind, ready to properly watch this third round of True Disciple Sword Fight.
But no sooner had he taken a step than he was stopped.
"Master Dan Chenzi, an Ascendant Master invites you."
"Which Ascendant Master?"
"An Ascendant Master from Heaven Palace!"
Luo Chen paused briefly in expression; he knew that what was inevitable would eventually co.
But this ti, returning to the Heaven Palace would not be the sa as before when he was unknown.
Everyone had to acknowledge him now!
