Confidence

In the main hall, the upper echelons of Chaos Holy Land watched Xiao Yun defeat Xie Yulong below and immediately smiled in satisfaction.

Especially after witnessing Xiao Yun's current strength, their smiles grew even broader.

The Holy Lord of Chaos Holy Land said with a smile, "Brother Wan, you flatter him. Xiao Yun merely has a bit of comprehension. Compared with your sect's Space-Time Body, the gap is still far too great. I imagine that on this trip to the True Dragon Nest, your Primordial Sacred Land will once again take first place. When the time comes, I hope your disciples will show some mercy."

Wan Yanghui replied amiably, "Holy Lord, rest assured. Since we all belong to the Six Great Sacred Lands, we should naturally stand together through thick and thin and join hands against outsiders."

The Holy Lord of Chaos Holy Land narrowed his eyes slightly. He did not believe Wan Yanghui's nonsense. Whenever disciples of Chaos Holy Land had entered the True Dragon Nest in the past, Primordial Sacred Land had always killed the most ruthlessly.

Among the Six Great Sacred Lands, Primordial Sacred Land and Chaos Holy Land were absolute mortal enemies. They merely kept up a harmonious appearance on the surface. After all, they were both Sacred Lands and still had to preserve their dignity, without completely tearing off the mask.

"Holy Lord, Wan will take his leave first!"

After exchanging a round of pointless pleasantries, Wan Yanghui departed Chaos Holy Land with Xie Yulong and Fu Miaotong.

After Wan Yanghui and the others left, the Holy Lord of Chaos Holy Land looked down at Xiao Yun and said with a smile, "Xiao Yun, you performed well this time. You won face for Chaos Holy Land."

The Taishang elders around them also looked at Xiao Yun with approval, praising him repeatedly.

Xiao Yun hurriedly said modestly, "Holy Lord, you praise me too highly. As a disciple of Chaos Holy Land, it is Xiao Yun's duty to protect the Holy Land's honor."

The Holy Lord of Chaos Holy Land and the Taishang elders nodded in satisfaction once more. They greatly appreciated Xiao Yun's "awareness."

"Xiao Yun, did your master, Di Tian, tell you about the True Dragon Nest?" the Holy Lord of Chaos Holy Land asked.

Xiao Yun respectfully replied, "Reporting to the Holy Lord, Master has already told this disciple about the True Dragon Nest. This disciple is also preparing to enter it next year."

At those words, the Holy Lord of Chaos Holy Land's expression turned slightly solemn. He said seriously, "For many years now, Chaos Holy Land has not produced any geniuses in the Body Refining Realm, so we have not participated in the journey to the True Dragon Nest. We have been mocked by the outside world, and the honor of Chaos Holy Land has been utterly lost.

"Now that you possess such strength, you should indeed venture into the True Dragon Nest. However, you saw what happened today. Primordial Sacred Land and Chaos Holy Land are like fire and water. Once you enter the True Dragon Nest, the first people you must beware of will be those from Primordial Sacred Land. They will absolutely not show you mercy."

Xiao Yun nodded confidently. "Please rest assured, Holy Lord. This disciple will definitely slaughter every person from Primordial Sacred Land within the True Dragon Nest."

"..."

The Holy Lord of Chaos Holy Land and the Taishang elders were speechless.

What a huge mouthful!

The Holy Lord of Chaos Holy Land then said with a wry smile, "That will not be necessary. After entering the True Dragon Nest, your first priority should be searching for heavenly treasures and earthly treasures. If the people of Primordial Sacred Land do not provoke you, do not provoke them either.

"Moreover, their generation has produced a Space-Time Body, one of the Ten Supreme Bodies. If you encounter him, do not hesitate in the slightest—run immediately. You have yet to forge a Chaos Body, so at the same realm, you still cannot contend against the other Supreme Bodies."

Though Xiao Yun inwardly disagreed after hearing the Holy Lord's words, he believed that his strength was sufficient to stand against that Space-Time Body.

However, as an outstanding disciple, he should not talk back to the Holy Lord.

Thus, Xiao Yun nodded and said, "Rest assured, Holy Lord. This time, I will definitely kill that Space-Time Body and make Primordial Sacred Land suffer grievous losses."

Clearly, Xiao Yun was not an outstanding disciple. He was a super outstanding disciple, so he was unafraid of talking back to the Holy Lord.

"..."

The Holy Lord of Chaos Holy Land and the Taishang elders were once again speechless.

They felt that Xiao Yun was good in every way, except that he was far too confident.

A mere ordinary body, yet he dared not put a Supreme Body like the Space-Time Body in his eyes. Truly...

"Enough. Go back and cultivate properly first!" After a long while, the Holy Lord of Chaos Holy Land truly could no longer communicate with Xiao Yun, so he waved his hand and dismissed him.

"Rest assured, Holy Lord. Once I return, I will certainly cultivate diligently and kill that Space-Time Body from Primordial Sacred Land next year!" Xiao Yun nodded, then took Lin Xiaoya by the hand and swaggered out of the main hall.

Inside the hall, the Taishang elders all watched his departing back with speechless expressions.

The Holy Lord of Chaos Holy Land shook his head and sighed. "Not only is this Chaos Scripture difficult to cultivate, it also affects one's personality. Back then, after Di Tian cultivated the Chaos Scripture, he was just like Xiao Yun—arrogance soaring to the heavens, his face brimming with confidence. I truly do not know whether that is good or bad."

A Taishang elder said with a chuckle, "Holy Lord, there is no need to worry. I think Xiao Yun may yet give us a great surprise. We all saw it just now—within merely two or three months, he cultivated three Super Combat Techniques to the perfected realm.

"Furthermore, he even deduced one of them, the Taiji Divine Palm, to the realm of an Ultimate Combat Technique. With such formidable comprehension, perhaps he truly will cultivate the Chaos Scripture in the future and forge that invincible Chaos Body."

The Holy Lord of Chaos Holy Land's eyes flickered, and his face filled with anticipation. "If he truly can forge a Chaos Body, then the rise of Chaos Holy Land will truly be within reach."

Outside the mountain gate of Chaos Holy Land.

Wan Yanghui, Xie Yulong, and Fu Miaotong departed atop clouds.

On the cloud, Xie Yulong and Fu Miaotong lowered their heads in shame. "Elder, this disciple was incompetent and disgraced our Primordial Sacred Land. We beg Elder to punish us."

Wan Yanghui waved his hand and pondered aloud, "This defeat was not due to your lack of skill. That Xiao Yun has already entered the Fourth Forbidden Domain and possesses five hundred thousand jin of strength. For now, he is not someone you can contend with."

Xie Yulong said solemnly, "That man is indeed very strong. Though he has only an ordinary body, he actually stepped into the Fourth Forbidden Domain. Not only did he cultivate three Super Combat Techniques to the perfected realm, he even deduced one combat technique to the ultimate realm."

Wan Yanghui's face revealed disdain as he sneered. "You are still too inexperienced. You do not know that comprehension can also be enhanced, though it comes with side effects. For example, using God-Awakening Pills once at each realm will not cause any side effects.

"But if one uses God-Awakening Pills more than three times, there will be severe side effects. Xiao Yun only entered Chaos Holy Land two or three months ago. How could he possibly have cultivated three Super Combat Techniques? He must have used God-Awakening Pills repeatedly."

Xie Yulong said in astonishment, "How could Chaos Holy Land allow him to do that? Would that not be destroying a prodigy?"

"What prodigy?" Wan Yanghui snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "He merely has an ordinary body. I saw it clearly with my discerning eyes—he has no aptitude whatsoever, at most a little talent in comprehension.

"That is why Chaos Holy Land used God-Awakening Pills to turn him into a prodigy. Their purpose is simply to have him enter the True Dragon Nest and search for heavenly treasures and earthly treasures on behalf of Chaos Holy Land. Even if there are side effects, they will merely lose an ordinary body. It will not be any great loss."

Xie Yulong and Fu Miaotong immediately came to a realization.

It had to be said that without the fact of the Chaos Bell ringing nine times, no expert who saw Xiao Yun would consider him a genius. His aptitude was simply too poor.

And since Wan Yanghui had not witnessed the Chaos Bell ringing nine times with his own eyes, he naturally harbored doubts. He felt that Chaos Holy Land might merely be putting on a mysterious show to deliberately bolster its prestige.

Wan Yanghui continued with a cold sneer, "Reaching the Fourth Forbidden Domain is already the limit of an ordinary body. No matter how many God-Awakening Pills he uses, he will not grow any stronger. With strength like that alone, he would not even rank among the top three in the Body Refining Realm of our Primordial Sacred Land. Once we enter the True Dragon Nest, we will kill him and make Chaos Holy Land's scheme come to nothing."

Xie Yulong and Fu Miaotong nodded. They had seen the powerful prodigies within their sect, especially the top-ranked Space-Time Body, who was simply an invincible being that could not be defeated. Xiao Yun was certainly no match for him.
