If we could turn the time back to three days ago, probably no one would have thought that the final result would be like this.

All Five Great Sects were eliminated by Esteem Truth Temple, and no one was spared.

Zhang Shouquan, as a casual cultivator, actually had Blood Drop Array's secret technique as a trump card and persisted until the end.

And the most surprising thing is that - Xiao Chen, with his absolutely overwhelming attitude, has opened a very obvious gap with all the other monks.

In Crane Cry True Monarch's original plan.

At this moment, everyone should be shocked by the powerful performance shown by Esteem Truth Temple Disciple in the battle, as well as their monopoly strength.

But no one pays attention to this now.

Everyone was staring at Xiao Chen with wide eyes, their minds went blank, as if they had seen some incredible miracle.

Even those disciples from large sects were all confused now.

They may not have known enough about Body Cultivator before, or they may have misunderstood monk Late-stage Golden Core.

Therefore, it is impossible to correctly understand how strong Xiao Chen is.

But you must know that they are very familiar with Chief Disciple or the senior brother of their sect.

Esteem Truth Temple's disciple sent to the field for the second time easily defeated his leader in less than half a cup of tea in the first six arenas.

In the seventh arena, even the most outstanding representatives of the casual cultivators were forced into a desperate situation.

In the end, they managed to make a comeback with the help of formations, but almost both sides suffered losses.

This is enough to prove their absolute leadership in strength.

However, for Xiao Chen, all this makes no difference at all.

Facing Chen Qingsong, it only takes one move to win the battle.

Facing the original East Arena disciple, he could defeat the ring with just one move.

Facing the final Esteem Truth Temple Elite Disciple, he still only used one move to knock his opponent off the ring.

Everyone can no longer even judge whether what is displayed now is the true strength of Xiao Chen?

One move is only the lower limit of the rules of the arena, but it may not be the opponent's true limit.

To put it a bit exaggeratedly, if you just pick any random cultivator on the spot, this is the result.

Anyway, if you win with one move, you can do it.

Thinking of this, everyone felt their scalps numb and their hearts trembling.

"This... how is this possible?"

"Tell me, has Senior Xiao shown its true strength?"

"I don't know, but have we misunderstood Senior Chen? Maybe he is actually very strong?"

After Chen Qingsong lost to Xiao Chen, his reputation among casual cultivators plummeted due to his failure to catch a single move.

He fell directly to the bottom of the ranking of the top ten casual cultivators.

But now, everyone realizes that this seems to be a misunderstanding.

Chen Qingsong seems to be just out of luck and met Xiao Chen early, that's all.

It would actually be the same if you were to replace them with others. No one can beat them, and they can all be beaten in one move, so who is better than others?

After everyone thought about this clearly, they suddenly felt that Chen Qingsong had been wronged.

Especially some of the monks who were also Listening Wave Sea and admired him very much.

He even started to advocate that if he hadn't met Xiao Chen, maybe Chen Qingsong could also win a ring.

Chen Qingsong himself puffed up his chest slightly as he listened to the discussions of the people around him.

Before, others teased him for not being able to catch a single move, which really made him feel uncomfortable for several days.

But it's different now. His opponent is Xiao Chen. It's normal to lose to him.

It even spread later that he was also the one who fought against Senior Xiao back then. Has anyone else had this experience?

"Hey, that's not right!"

Some people suddenly reacted. "Doesn't that mean that Body Cultivator is not actually great, but Daoist Xiao is great?"

Many people were still thinking about switching to Body Refining before, but now it seems that it has nothing to do with it.

The truly powerful person is not Body Refining, but Xiao Chen.

There were different opinions under the ring.

High up in the stands, several Nascent Soul True Lord were equally surprised.

It is said that one's own family knows one's own affairs.

They have a very good understanding of the level of Chief Disciple in the sect, especially since some of them are directly their disciples.

However, the powerful enemy who could easily defeat his apprentice was defeated by Xiao Chen in one move.

Seeing this scene, even they were shocked inwardly.

There was even a rare hint of surprise on his face.

"This little friend Xiao is really extraordinary!"

Yunfeng True Monarch sighed, "I ask myself, when I was at Late-stage Golden Core, I couldn't achieve this level."

He has grown older over the years and is increasingly attracted to young people with potential.

I feel a little regretful that Xiao Chen is not his disciple.

Gang Yuan True Monarch also commented. "Looking at the qi and blood stirring when he raises his hands, and the strength coming out of his body, he looks like he has ancient veins."

With his eyesight, he naturally noticed the unusually strong Vitality Power when Xiao Chen started.

Now I am becoming more and more curious about which Hidden Dao Heritage the other party comes from.

I even thought that if there was an opportunity, the two sides could communicate, and it would be best to talk about Enhance Qi and Blood's experience and insights.

Of course, it is not to chat with Xiao Chen, but to talk or even trade with Nascent Soul True Lord behind him.

Crane Cry True Monarch on the side paid special attention to the battle process.

Naturally, I also noticed that Xiao Chen's Qi and blood were unusually strong just now.

When I heard Gang Yuan True Monarch's comment, I immediately understood that Xiao Chen must have some rare Body Cultivator talent.

This is recorded in the classics in Esteem Truth Temple.

Similar to the natural divine power of mortals, some monks are born with strong Qi and blood, which belongs to Innate Body Refining Saint Body.

If this is the case, it is easy to understand why Xiao Chen can easily defeat the tribesmen he carefully trained.

As long as Qi and blood can be higher than one line, the gap will be huge in real combat.

After all, the distance between the arena is still too short, and there are rules that restrict everyone from using trump cards above level three.

Body Cultivator's explosive power can be used to its fullest.

So that in the end it formed such an exaggerated expression.

Although I figured out the reason, the discussion of the casual cultivators below was led astray by Xiao Chen, which was completely inconsistent with what I expected at the beginning.

Crane Cry True Monarch is still a little unhappy.

Especially when he thought that the Supreme Clarity Nascent Soul Transformation Glazed Pearl he had originally prepared for his nephew was now about to be leaked.

He couldn't help but frown slightly.

But no matter how unhappy you are, you can't do anything wrong.

There are so many Nascent Soul comrades around who are watching.

In order not to lose his own face, but also not to leave a bad impression on other sects.

Crane Cry True Monarch could only reluctantly take out Supreme Clarity Nascent Soul Transformation Glazed Pearl and handed it to the boy on the side, asking him to take it and award the award.

Upon seeing this, the other major sects also followed suit and took out the promised rewards.

Qian Shu True Monarch felt a little pity when he saw that Crane Cry True Monarch didn't find a reason.

After all, in the final analysis, it was Esteem Truth Temple Disciple who occupied the six major arenas, and all the disciples of Thousand Machines Valley were eliminated.

If Crane Cry True Monarch takes the lead in reneging on the debt, then Qian Shu True Monarch can also renege on the spiritual objects.

Maybe it's because Esteem Truth Temple didn't achieve the planned plan.

The final award ceremony was extremely simple.

After inviting eight Arena King to the stand, they hurriedly handed out things.

The principal spoke a few words briefly on behalf of everyone, especially emphasizing some customs that Eight Directions Arena has been inherited from High Antiquity, and that Esteem Truth Temple has been inherited for a long time.

In the middle of the process, neither Xiao Chen nor Esteem Truth Temple Disciple was given a chance to speak.

Then it was directly announced that this Bafang Attack Arena Segment is officially over.

It seems that in this way, they want to emphasize that Esteem Truth Temple won Eight Directions Arena and weaken the impact of Xiao Chen.

But judging from the reactions of the casual cultivators in the audience, the effect of this seems to be very limited.

Everyone is still discussing Xiao Chen and Zhang Shouquan with great interest, and almost no one cares about Esteem Truth Temple.

After all, everyone is not familiar with Esteem Truth Temple.

If they really monopolize the stage, they might be able to attract everyone's attention.

However, under this current situation, the six Esteem Truth Temple Disciple have become an indistinguishable background because of their unified identity, and no one cares about them.

To divert everyone's attention.

Esteem Truth Temple directly used the killer weapon they had prepared.

"Dear Daoist friends, at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon, Purple Sun True Monarch will personally give a sermon at Core Area!"

The chief announced loudly on the stage, and the voice spread to the entire island with the help of true energy. "Starting from noon, Core Area's formation will be lifted."

"Please remember the time and don't miss this opportunity!"

This is indeed a good idea. It involves one's own cultivation, and everyone's attention is immediately attracted.

Even the disciples of the other major sects couldn't help but start to look forward to it.

The topics everyone was talking about immediately turned into various speculations about the sermon.

Some people even went outside Core Area to wait in line in advance, hoping to grab a good seat.

Some people also chose to return to their temporary residence to rest and prepare to recharge their batteries so that they can concentrate on enlightenment tomorrow.

Xiao Chen naturally did not go to queue, but returned to Bamboo Hut.

First activated Defensive Formation, and then took out Supreme Clarity Nascent Soul Transformation Glazed Pearl again.

"Is this a strange object that can experience the Nascent Soul Formation process?"

He looked at the almost transparent orb in his hand, with only a trace of Pure Qi circulating, and was filled with curiosity.

To say that this Glazed Pearl is really good, when Xiao Chen carefully stares at the Pure Qi circulating.

He actually vaguely felt an inexplicable rhythm, as if hungry people saw delicious food and thirsty people saw fine wine.

I had the idea in my mind that I wanted to refine and absorb it on the spot.

From this point of view, if you are a genius with extraordinary understanding, you may be able to gain something just by observing Supreme Clarity Nascent Soul Transformation Glazed Pearl.

But Xiao Chen will definitely not use it now.

Now he is not ready to break through.

When everything else is ready, it's not too late to use it to experience the Nascent Soul Formation process.

At that time, you can remember clearly what insights you have during the experience, so as to avoid forgetting them due to the passage of time.

I deliberately took out a Spirit Accumulating Treasure Box and put away the Glazed Pearl properly.

Xiao Chen practiced a little for a while and then fell asleep early.

Noon the next day.

Core Area The monks had gathered outside early, waiting for the formation to be cancelled.

For some unknown reason, Esteem Truth Temple actually filled the hall that was sorted out overnight this time with uniform futons.

There is no positional distinction between Golden Core cultivator and Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

When Xiao Chen arrived at three quarters noon, he saw that most of the futons inside were already full of people.

However, the first three rows are almost completely empty.

Except for Zhang Shouquan who arrived early and sat calmly in the first row.

The other casual cultivators didn't seem to notice it, and consciously crowded in behind.

Xiao Chen Of course, there was no need to worry. He came to the first row and sat cross-legged and waited together.

After another quarter of an hour, most of the monks arrived at the scene.

In particular, many sect monks went straight to the first three rows and took their seats.

The whole hall also started to become noisy.

But after a while, everyone became quiet again.

I began to look forward to the last and most attractive preaching session of this ceremony.

While waiting anxiously, time seemed to slow down a lot.

Many monks couldn't sit still after waiting for a while, and began to look around, wondering why Purple Sun True Monarch hadn't appeared yet.

But no one dared to rush, they just forced themselves to keep waiting.

After waiting for about half an hour, there were even whispers below.

Only then did a figure step onto the podium from behind, and Shi Shiran took his seat.

"You guys have been waiting for a long time."

"The first point I want to talk about today is called closing the heart..."

Purple Sun True Monarch didn't say any opening remarks, but started directly from his cultivation habits.

To put it simply, in order to improve the efficiency of cultivation, they are a few short stories about how he increased his concentration and how he persisted in practicing hard for eight hours every day.

This statement made several True Disciple nod silently, seeming to feel something.

However, most of the casual cultivators listening to the lecture were a little disappointed.

What they look forward to is not these great principles, but the skills on how to improve their cultivation as quickly as possible.

It is best to use something that can be used directly as soon as it is brought out, and it will be effective immediately after use.

Seriously speaking, this is a rush for quick success.

But it is indeed not easy for casual cultivators. They do not have the cultivation resources provided by the sect, and they do not have such a good thing as meditating for eight hours a day.

Most of them need to be busy running around to earn Spirit Stone.

After experiencing too many things, it is difficult to be as focused as a pure child when practicing.

In addition, my cultivation qualifications are average, so I naturally like to seek various techniques or shortcuts.

As for Xiao Chen, he felt a little pity when he heard these stories.

For him, this sermon happened a little late.

Now with Heart of Clarity, he no longer needs to worry about concentration.

You can enter concentration at any time and practice whenever you want. You are very free.

"That's it for the story about cultivation."

Purple Sun True Monarch seemed to understand their thoughts. "Next, I will talk about some details about specific breath adjustment, starting with refining Law Power."

Then he explained in detail four tips for breathing Spiritual Qi, which are applicable to Foundation Establishment Cultivator and Golden Core cultivator respectively.

The situation below this time is completely different.

The disciples of the sect were doing nothing, after all, they already knew these things.

The casual cultivators were ecstatic, and many people suddenly realized it. Some even clapped their thighs excitedly on the spot, feeling that they had taken the wrong path before.

"Let's get something useful!"

Xiao Chen secretly cursed in his heart, if he had said these things if he had known, he would not have come.

It's a coincidence, that's what he thought in his mind.

The above Purple Sun True Monarch really changed the subject. "Finally, let me say a few words about my experience in breaking through the Major Realm."

"If you want to enter Profound Gate to refine your true form, first adjust the dragon and tiger to subdue Heart Palace."

"When I cut off all the thoughts in my heart, I saw a little bit of light on the spiritual platform."

"Three Souls gathers the top to transform into a baby's head, Seven Spirits Condense Frost casts a jade body."

"Once you take off the cage shell, purple qi will soar into the sky and knock on the gate of heaven."

After saying that, Purple Sun True Monarch stood up directly and turned back to the back of the altar.

Obviously this preaching session is over.

Huh?

Xiao Chen blinked his eyes, is it gone?

Don't just talk about the words, what about the explanation behind it?

To be fair, if you want to say that the content just mentioned is actually Mnemonic in a certain book Cultivation Method, it is not impossible.

Most of the monks under the pulpit were confused, and many were dumbfounded.

"No, what True Lord said is too mysterious, but I can't understand it."

"True Lord just said Seven Spirits Condense Frost, what does that mean? How can the soul withstand the cold when it is hidden in the body?"

"Lastly I heard purple qi, does it mean purple qi is coming from the east?"

Everyone hurriedly discussed with each other, but they were all asking for help, and no one could stand up to help answer questions.

So much so that many monks sighed, feeling that they had missed a good opportunity.

In fact, for Xiao Chen, he also sounds confused, and he doesn't quite understand many things.

But he didn't think too much about anything else. Instead, he immediately closed his eyes and recalled what he had just heard.

After all, it is good that people are willing to preach.

You can't really expect others to break apart all your cultivation experience, mash it up, and feed it into your mouth.

With the powerful memory brought by Divine Sense, Xiao Chen firmly remembers all Mnemonic in the sea of consciousness.

After that, just think about it for a while, and I believe you will gain something more or less.

Moreover, speaking more carefully, Xiao Chen successfully defended and won Glazed Pearl before, and by the way, he also won a bonus of one million Spirit Stone.

In fact, it's enough, and it's not a waste of time.

For him, preaching has become an incidental link. He listens to each sentence and understands one point after another.

Therefore, Xiao Chen can still maintain a calm mind and does not feel worried or anxious because he does not understand.

"Fellow Daoists!"

Esteem Truth Temple's boss came forward again. "I just got the news that the other True Lords are busy with important matters, so there is no time Dao Discussion."

Having said this, he paused deliberately so that everyone could remember the arrogant posture of the other sects.

"Therefore, the preaching part of this ceremony ends."

"I observed that we have prepared the last banquet in the banquet area. They are all ordinary dishes for some fellow Daoists to satisfy their hunger. Please help yourself!"

Seeing that someone was already getting up and ready to leave.

The chief quickly raised his voice. "There is one last thing, please pay attention to fellow Daoists!"

"From now on, for the next three consecutive days, I, Esteem Truth Temple Disciple, will patrol the area within a thousand miles of Red Flower Island day and night."

"No one is allowed to take action within this scope, regardless of personal or public grudges."

"Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences. Thank you all for your cooperation!"

This doesn't matter to Xiao Chen.

Previously, he deliberately tried to deceive Bandit Cultivator by fishing but failed. Now that his strength has been partially exposed, there should be few people on this island who dare to attack him.

So he didn't plan to continue trying this time.

"Where to go next?"

Xiao Chen came to the banquet area and brought two plates of Spirit Beast Meat and a pot of Spirit Wine while thinking about the next move.

Although I stayed a few more days due to the challenge, there is still one and a half months until Cangran Secret Realm starts.

For others, this time is already very tight.

Even if there is a spirit shuttle to help, we must set off immediately.

However, at the speed of Xiao Chen, it only takes about half a month to get there from here.

Even if you reserve a few days in advance, you still have about half a month to arrange.

In fact, he doesn't have anything planned right now, he just wants to prepare for Nascent Soul Formation.

After careful calculation, there are three main things I have to do next.

Find person Refine Breakthrough Spirit Pill, collect clues about Nine Aperture Lucid Jade, and find ways to find the other Sha Qi.

The former is relatively the easiest, and the latter seems to be the most difficult one at present.

Mainly, we have known before that Lightless Sea may exist Sha Qi, but it's hard to go back and confirm the authenticity of the news now. Who can you ask to explain this?

"Then it's better to go to Fangshi first."

Without getting too entangled, Xiao Chen decided to start with simple things. "Go visit Fourth-rank Alchemist nearby, help Refine Breakthrough Spirit Pill, and get other information by the way."

After gulping down the food and wine in front of him, he stood up and left Red Flower Island.

He rushed straight to the nearest Listening Wave Market.

Just by looking at the name, Listening Wave Market is closely related to Cloud Wave Sword Abode.

In fact, this is exactly the case.

Although its overall scale is much smaller than Azure Sea Market, it is not bad at all in terms of the main island alone.

It's just that there is no Get Rich Wall in the center of Listening Wave Market.

Instead, at the entrance to Fangshi, there is a whole row of Wanted Notice that is hundreds of feet long.

"Oh, so many Bandit Cultivator?"

Xiao Chen, who had just arrived, looked at the large row of red letters and was slightly surprised.

Isn't this a little bit more?

After taking a closer look, I discovered that it was not just Listening Wave Sea who was wanted here, but also Wanted Notice from other places.

It is not only a deterrent, but also a representative symbol of Listening Wave Market.

"Interesting!"

Looking at many casual cultivators who also came here for the first time and stood in front of Wanted Notice to observe, Xiao Chen immediately understood the intention behind this.

He also deliberately slowed down his pace and watched with interest.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed.

He actually saw a picture of Wanted Notice about 'Chen Xiao' here, with a line of eye-catching remarks specially added below it.

It shows that this is a special souvenir brought back from the Storm Sea thousands of miles away in the west, so it has no actual effect.

Arranged next to it, there are also 'White Beard', 'Red Peony' and so on about the famous name Inner Sea.

Like Xiao Chen, Checkpoint from Ten Thousand Immortals Archipelago saw none of the top ten exhibits, and they were also invalid exhibits.

These Wanted Notice look a little familiar.

Now he has a completely different mentality than when he first arrived at Eastern Domain.

Having said that, is this another kind of meeting an old friend in a foreign country?
