The sky is clear and blue, and the drifting clouds are vast.
A month flies by.
This time, Chen Zong went into seclusion for a month, avoiding all visits and challenges, and devoted himself to improving his cultivation and strength.
The body is slender and upright, with a strong force reverberating in the body.
Even though his cultivation is still at the intermediate semi-saint level, his half-saint power is more condensed and more powerful. Moreover, with sufficient resource supply, his body-refining cultivation level will naturally break through to the intermediate semi-saint level.
The reason why Chen Zong came out of seclusion was because of the information sent by the Xuan Ming Order.
The small world of Xuan Ming is about to open.
The small world of Xuanming is about to open, and all competitions have ceased. All those holding the Xuanming Order immediately set off for the Xuanming Valley outside the Xuanming Palace.
Xuanming Valley is controlled by Xuanming Palace, but it is some distance away from it.
Zheng Tuo and Nan Wukong came to the door.
"Brother Chen, let's go together." Zheng Tuo invited.
Zheng Tuo and Nan Wukong were not from powerful forces. The forces they came from were seven-star forces in terms of hierarchy, not comparable to eight-star forces, let alone nine-star forces.
Seven-star forces are naturally very powerful to those small forces and even casual cultivators, but they are nothing to eight-star or even nine-star forces.
Although Chen Zong is a casual cultivator, Zheng Tuo and Nan Wukong admire him very much now, especially Nan Wukong. They looked down on him at first, but now they are sincerely convinced.
"Okay." Chen Zong agreed to the invitation from his peers and walked out of the Xuanming District together.
From Xuanming City to Xuanming Valley, it's actually not too far, but it's not too close either. At the speed of everyone, it would take about ten days to get there.
Of course, everyone will not pass by like this. Arrangements have already been made in Xuanming City to ride on the flying monsters.
This flying monster is a high-level monster, equivalent to the level of a strong person in the Saint Realm. It was domesticated and specially used for transportation.
High in the sky, there are people on the backs of three flying monsters, one is Chen Zong, one is Zheng Tuo, and the other is Nan Wukong.
There was a strong wind blowing in front of me, roaring, as if it could blow everything and destroy everything.
But Chen Zong and the others were sitting on the back of the flying monster, as stable as a mountain, motionless.
The flying monster's broad fleshy wings spread out and flapped violently, whipping up a roaring wind to propel itself as fast as an arrow from a string.
At this time, two figures passed by quickly. One was a slender figure and the other was round. Sitting on them was a slender figure. The lanky figure had an expressionless face and a stern face. His eyes were bulging and lifeless, making him look like a zombie.
.
The round man was holding a large animal leg that was roasted and dripping with oil, and was chewing it bite after bite.
"Brother Chen, they are the geniuses who came from Xuanmo Territory, Zhao Fang and Zhao Yuan, who are known as the best in both directions." Zheng Tuo said via voice transmission: "The fat man's name is Zhao Fang, and the thin man's name is Zhao Yuan."
"Zhao Fang...Zhao Yuan..." Chen Zong was a little stunned.
Look at the fat man's round figure, especially when he is sitting on the back of the flying monster, he looks like a ball. He is not called Zhao Yuan, but Zhao Fang.
As for the other person, he was as skinny as a bamboo pole, and his name was Zhao Yuan.
This name is quite strange.
These two people came from the outer realm, defeated the genius of the Xuanming Realm, and obtained the Xuanming Order. To a certain extent, they came to share the resources of the Xuanming Realm.
But this has nothing to do with Chen Zong.
After all, Chen Zong is actually here to share the resources of the Xuanming Realm. After all, Chen Zong is not from the outer realm, but from outside the Tianyuan Holy Realm.
Hundreds of flying monsters flew away from Xuanming City one after another, which was very spectacular and stirred up the sky.
Half a day later, the flying monsters landed in front of a valley.
The valley is pitch black and exudes a hint of coldness. It is the Xuanming Valley.
At the entrance of the Xuanming Valley, two men in black stood with expressionless faces, their eyes swept across them coldly, and there was a trace of the aura of a powerful person who had entered the holy realm.
These two people were from Xuanming Palace.
"Show me the Xuan Ming Order." One of them said, his voice didn't seem loud, but it reached everyone's ears.
Everyone took out the Xuanming Token one after another. Only those who hold the Xuanming Token are qualified to step into the Xuanming Valley and enter the small world of Xuanming that is about to open.
The temperature inside the Xuanming Valley is much lower than outside. The black ground, black stones, black vegetation, and traces of cold air are constantly permeating from it.
The valley doesn't look too big, you can see the end at a glance, and there's nothing to cover it.
More than a hundred people entered here, which immediately gave this dead valley a bit more life.
More than a hundred people dispersed, some closed their eyes to meditate, and some looked at each other.
Several cold and sharp eyes stared at him, making Chen Zong keenly feel like a light on his back, as if it was about to pierce him.
Chen Zong followed his gaze and swept past.
Sima Li!
Sheng Yuan!
In addition, there are some people from the Sima Family and Xuanming Palace.
Sima Li and Sheng Yuan were both defeated by his own sword, but they also challenged again.
Sima Li was arrogant and wanted to teach Chen Zong a lesson, but he was defeated by Chen Zong and was greatly embarrassed. Therefore, he held a grudge. He had been training hard recently and his strength had been further improved, so he wanted to avenge his past humiliation.
As for Sheng Yuan, he wanted to seize Chen Zong's Xuan Ming Order, but he was disgraced and made a joke for a while. He was also very embarrassed. His hatred for Chen Zong could not be washed away by the surging river.
During this period of time, Sheng Yuan was also practicing hard. Perhaps it was the pressure brought by humiliation that made his strength grow even further.
Originally, it was already very difficult for him to further improve his strength at this level, but he didn't expect that because of this humiliation, his strength would be further improved.
But Sheng Yuan would rather not have it.
This shame is like a lifelong shadow that is difficult to wash away.
Only by defeating Chen Zong and then killing him can he feel relieved.
The reason why the other geniuses of the Sima family are hostile to Chen Zong is because Chen Zong defeated Sima Li, which not only embarrassed Sima Li, but also affected them to a certain extent.
The second point is the most important, he actually refused Young Master Sima's solicitation.
Young Master Sima is the ninth genius on the Underworld Ranking and the number one genius in the Sima family. He personally recruited him but was rejected. It was just that he was rejected. He was even threatened to be overtaken. This is unacceptable to the people of the Sima family.
.
Therefore, it is normal for people from the Sima family to be hostile to Chen Zong.
The disciples of Xuanming Palace were hostile to Chen Zong. It was simple because Chen Zong defeated Sheng Yuan.
There are one hundred and eight people on the Ming List, Chen Zong has not seen many of them.
And now, all one hundred and eight people are gathered here.
The most eye-catching ones are nine of them.
Sima Huanyu, the eldest young master of Sima, was one of them. In addition, Chen Zong also noticed a young man with a warm face wearing a blue robe, and the aura surrounding him was full of vitality.
This person is none other than Tang Qingyuan, the tenth genius of the Underworld, a disciple of Evergreen Castle.
That young man in black gilt armor, with eyes like tigers and an astonishing aura, like a victorious general on the battlefield, was none other than the eighth genius of the underworld: Hu Lieshan.
Hu Lieshan was not a disciple of the five major forces in the Xuanming Realm, but was born in a small family in the Thirty-Two Houses. He was expelled from the family for some unknown reasons, but he had a shocking adventure that made him extraordinary.
It can be said that Hu Lieshan is the leader of the younger generation among small forces and casual cultivators.
In fact, the small forces and the casual cultivators have the same hatred. After all, in the eyes of the big forces, there is no difference between the small and run-down cultivators.
Although Hulie Mountain had an unexpected encounter, it made rapid progress and ranked eighth on the underworld list.
The genius ranked seventh on the Underworld Ranking is dressed in aqua-blue silky robes with tassels around her body. She looks like a goddess. Her name is Hai Weiyi, and she is a disciple of the Xuanming Palace.
The sixth person on the list is from the Sima family, named Sima Dayan.
The fifth person on the Ming list is Lin Chaoqun, a disciple of Xuan Ming Palace.
The fourth person on the underworld list is Tang Qingwei, a disciple of Evergreen Castle, who is Tang Qingyuan’s sister.
The third person on the underworld list is Chaoyangmen's genius Zhao Gu.
The second person on the list of ghosts is Jian Lingxiao, a disciple of Jinjian Villa, whose sword aura is extremely powerful. It is said that he did not originally have this name, but he changed his name to make his determination.
The number one person on the Ming List is Xu Mubai, the strongest disciple of the Xuan Ming Palace and the number one among the younger generation in the Xuan Ming Domain.
However, Chen Zong did not see Xu Mubai.
Although I have never seen it before, I have also heard that Xu Mubai often wears black and white robes, but at this moment, among the 108 people, no one is wearing black and white robes.
As for Sima Dayan, who is sixth on the underworld list, he is ranked higher than Sima Huanyu, but he is not the leader of the younger generation of the Sima family, because he himself is not a peerless genius, but because of some reasons, plus the fact that he is not the leader of the younger generation of the Sima family.
Other geniuses have spent much more time practicing and so on, and have developed great strength.
But this body's strength is almost fixed and cannot be improved, but it is difficult to break through to the holy realm.
It can be said that Sima Dayan is the oldest one in the Underworld Ranking, dozens of years older than the second oldest one.
He is already a person who has exhausted his potential. Even if he breaks through to the Saint Realm, he will not be very outstanding. Although such a person is famous for a while, it is only a matter of time before he is surpassed. In this case, he is not qualified to become a member of the Sima Family.
Leading figure.
The Xuanming Palace is the strongest, with three peerless geniuses ranking among the top ten on the Underworld Ranking.
Although there is only one person from Jinjian Villa ranked in the top ten on the underworld list, he is ranked second on the underworld list, which is very surprising.
The top ten on the underworld list all had unique and extremely powerful auras that made Chen Zong's pupils shrink like needles.
Not an opponent!
The current self is no match for them at all.
Chen Zong was actually not very sure whether he could defeat them even if he used the Tiansha force field.
After all, among the top ten geniuses on the Underworld Ranking, which one does not have extraordinary means?
Immediately, Chen Zong noticed another gaze, which seemed a bit familiar. He turned his head to look, was slightly startled, and then smiled.
No front!
The owner of that gaze was Wu Feng, a disciple of Lord Dao.
It turns out that he also defeated a genius from the Underworld Ranking, replaced him, became a rookie on the Underworld Ranking, and received the Xuanming Order.
Wu Feng stared at Chen Zong with eyes that showed no killing intent, but a fighting spirit. The last battle was a loss, but Wu Feng was unconvinced.
