An Envoy from the Divine Dynasty
Just as Jian Zhenzi was stunned, the sword rainbow that Chen Changqing had unleashed still had considerable power, seemingly ignoring spatial distance, and directly swept towards Jian Zhenzi.
"Um?"
Upon seeing this, Jian Zhenzi was greatly shaken, feeling as if a sword rainbow was rapidly expanding before his eyes.
Without time to think further, Jian Zhenzi instinctively shouted.
"Boom!"
Immediately following, Sword Intent erupted from his body, and strands of residual Yin-Yang Sword Qi rapidly formed layers of defense in front of him.
"Bang bang bang..."
Unfortunately, those Sword Qi defenses proved incredibly fragile under the sword rainbow unleashed by Chen Changqing, shattering inch by inch.
Before Jian Zhenzi rainbow had already pierced through all the defenses he had erected and then struck him.
"Hmm..."
Jian Zhenzi let out a muffled groan, as if struck by a heavy blow, and staggered backward.
He retreated quite a distance before he could barely regain his footing.
At this moment, Jian Zhenzi's face flushed red, and his Qi and Blood churned violently within him.
As soon as he looked up, he saw a cold glint of light fall upon him.
Upon closer inspection, Chen Changqing had somehow rushed up to him, the tip of the Heavenly Thunder Sword in his hand pressed against Jian Zhenzi's throat, radiating a chilling aura.
"Ah?"
Jian Zhenzi froze, his face filled with bewilderment and confusion.
Meanwhile, the many Evergreen Peak disciples watching from below were completely dumbfounded.
It seemed to them that Chen Changqing hadn't put in much effort to defeat Jian Zhenzi.
Everything seemed so easy.
"The Holy Son... has won?"
"Compared to the previous Holy Son Grand Competition, this doesn't seem intense at all!"
"How could Senior Brother Jian Zhenzi, a Nascent Spirit Transformation, lose the competition like this?"
"As expected of the Holy Son Changqing!"
"It seems like the Holy Son defeated Jian Zhenzi very easily."
"..."
Shocked, many members of the Evergreen Peak Sect were amazed.
On that hillside, Luo Futian and Ji Changkong saw this, but their expressions did not change much.
After all, in their view, Jian Zhenzi was no match for Chen Changqing to begin with, so his defeat was to be expected.
Mo Yuan saw this and remained calm.
"With the Holy Son's current strength, he can even fight against an ordinary Tribulation Transcendence expert!"
"Spirit Transformation Early Stage is nothing to him."
Mo Yuan murmured to himself, then a subtle, enigmatic smile appeared on his lips.
Meanwhile, in the void of Evergreen Peak.
Jian Zhenzi recovered from his shock, then withdrew his hand and said to Chen Changqing:
"I lost, junior brother."
I'm completely convinced.
When he said this, Jian Zhenzi appeared very sincere, and deep down he had no Qi Ingestion.
In fact, even before the sparring match, Jian Zhenzi had already guessed that with his current strength, he would inevitably lose to Chen Changqing.
The reason he still wanted to spar with Chen Changqing was...
Jian Zhenzi also wanted to see just how big the gap was between himself and Chen Changqing.
Upon hearing what Jian Zhenzi said, Chen Changqing smiled faintly and said:
"Senior Brother, you flatter me!"
As he spoke, Chen Changqing had a thought and immediately withdrew his aura, storing the Heavenly Thunder Sword into his Heaven-Stepping Ring.
"Ha ha!"
Jian Zhenzi burst into laughter, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Chen Changqing.
After a slight pause, he said with a sigh:
"Junior Brother."
"The Swordsmanship you just displayed was unpredictable on the outside and uninterrupted on the inside; beneath the rainbow-like light, it possessed unparalleled sharpness and speed."
"I never imagined that my junior brother had reached such a level in the art of swordsmanship."
I admire you, brother!
"I have benefited greatly from this exchange and competition."
As he spoke, Jian Zhenzi quickly bowed to Chen Changqing.
Seeing this, Chen Changqing quickly returned the bow and said with a smile:
"Senior brother, you flatter me!"
"Your Sword Intent is pure and orthodox, and your mastery of Yin and Yang transformations has reached a level of consummate skill."
"Given time, Senior Brother's skill in swordsmanship will surely reach even greater heights."
"I have also gained something from today's exchange."
After Chen Changqing's explanation, Jian Zhenzi breathed a sigh of relief. His face showed no sign of defeat, but rather a sense of enlightenment after a moment of exhilaration.
Then, the two brothers smiled at each other and flew down from the void to the ground.
Seeing this, all the disciples of Evergreen Peak fixed their gazes on Chen Changqing, their admiration and respect undisguised.
Chen Changqing didn't pay any attention to this and looked at Liu Mu, saying:
"Elder Liu."
"Since Senior Brother also wants to join my Chen Changqing, please find him a place to stay halfway up the mountain."
Upon hearing what Chen Changqing said, Liu Mu quickly nodded and murmured an "Mmm":
"Yes, Holy Son!"
Then, Chen Changqing looked at Jian Zhenzi and said again:
"Senior Brother, there aren't many rules on Evergreen Peak."
"You can stay halfway up the mountain whenever you want, or you're free to do as you please!"
Chen Changqing Jian Zhenzi to Evergreen Peak and imposed no restrictions on him.
"Good."
Jian Zhenzi smiled slightly, and then, led by Liu Mu, headed towards Chen Changqing's mountainside.
Soon, news of Jian Zhenzi joining Evergreen Peak spread like wildfire throughout Mount Shu.
Have you heard?
"Jian Zhenzi has also joined Evergreen Peak!"
"Yeah?"
"Holy crap! What's going on?"
"Besides the Holy Son Changqing, Evergreen Peak actually has three other Holy Sons, all of whom are under his command?"
"It's unbelievable to even think about it. The key point is that among these three Holy Sons are Luo Futian and Jian Zhenzi."
"..."
For a moment, the inner disciple Mount Shu were in an uproar, all finding it hard to believe.
After all, with Jian Zhenzi joining Evergreen Peak, it also means that Chen Changqing now has three Holy Sons under his command.
Headmaster's Hall, where Seven Stars Peak is located.
"Sect Leader, does your Personal Disciple intend to recruit all the Holy Sons under his command?"
Mo Tianji smiled and looked at Chen Yuan.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan replied calmly:
"Old buddy."
"My disciple's ambitions extend far beyond being the Holy Son."
"With his talent and aptitude, let alone Mount Shu, even the Nine Provinces Continent cannot restrain him!"
Upon hearing Chen Yuan's words, Mo Tianji's heart trembled, realizing that Chen Yuan truly valued him, his Personal Disciple, highly.
In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.
On this day, Chen Changqing was leisurely basking in the sun in the courtyard.
Just then, hurried footsteps came from outside the courtyard.
"Um?"
Upon hearing the sound, Chen Changqing slowly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound, only to Ran Hua hurriedly stepping into the courtyard.
"Junior Brother Ran, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Chen Changqing asked aloud.
Upon hearing Chen Changqing's question, Ran Hua quickly pursed her lips and replied:
"Holy Son!"
"A woman appeared outside the mountain gate, holding Divine Dynasty Token, claiming that she was acting on the orders of the Third Princess to invite the Holy Son to the Nine Provinces Divine Dynasty!"
