This chaotic battle lasted for two full days.
In the end, Shen Jieke and Da Lai led the way, while the other four all left the stage.
Tan Zongzhao, his breathing slightly weak, slumped to the ground, looking at Xiao Hei, whose body was covered in bloodstains so deep that bone was visible, and chuckled, "Pleasant to cooperate?"
He then extended his fist.
Xiao Hei also extended his fist and bumped it with his, saying, "You're very strong."
Faced with the encirclement and attack of several geniuses of the same realm, Tan Zongzhao was able to withstand it for so long.
Tan Zongzhao and said, "I have a premonition that you will become a pillar of the Mortal Realm, and will support this darkest age in which the lineage of the Mortal Realm has been severed."
pillar.
Xiao Hei smiled. He wouldn't be the only pillar of the family; by then, everyone in their Cottage would reach the pinnacle of the Mortal Realm!
Suddenly, Xiao Hei asked curiously, "What kind of place is the Chaos Realm?"
Chaos Realm?
Tan Zongzhao was taken aback at first, then nodded in realization and explained, "Few people are unaware of the Chaos Realm. It's possible that the lineage was severed, leading to a lack of information due to the Mortal Realm's long-term isolation."
"To put it simply, the Chaos Realm is called the Chaos Realm because it is located at the center of the Six Realms. Without special means, all the Great Realms must pass through the Chaos Realm to reach another Great Realm. This is because the star sea space that crosses Great Realms is too chaotic, and even God Emperor Realm expert cannot guarantee 100% that they can safely cross Great Realms."
"This has led to people from all realms mingling in the Chaos Realm. Although it's not as powerful as the Mortal Realm in High Antiquity times, even your Human Ancestor once made a name for themselves in the Chaos Realm."
"Because it contains people from all realms, the Chaos Realm is not ranked in terms of strength compared to the other five realms; it is an exception."
Xiao Hei nodded slightly and asked, "Then, if we only consider the major realms, how strong is the Chaos Realm?"
Tan Zongzhao chuckled lightly, looking at Xiao Hei with pride, and said, "No one knows the true extent of the Chaos Realm, but compared to the once glorious Mortal Realm... it surpasses it entirely."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hei suddenly understood.
No wonder the geniuses of the Chaos Realm are all so powerful.
Tan Zongzhao leaned back on the ground, spread his arms, looked at the sky, and said softly, "You too will eventually come to the Chaos Realm to explore. When that time comes, I hope you can join the Chaotic Spirit Academy."
"Why must we join a faction?" Xiao Hei asked, puzzled.
"Because in the Chaos Realm, even Human Ancestor expert will find it difficult to move an inch without joining a powerful force," Tan Zongzhao said with a smile. "Whether it's a secret realm or a place of inheritance, or if you want to buy Cultivation Resources, if you're Rogue Cultivator, you have no normal channels and can only risk being ripped off or even murdered and robbed by going to the black market."
"Without a powerful backer, once you possess resources, you'll be targeted and coveted."
The Chaos Realm is in chaos.
If other realms, including the Mortal Realm, have rules on the surface but do not follow them in secret...
The Chaos Realm is a lawless zone where there are no rules, either in the light or in the dark, and anything can happen!
"If you want to continue to rise, come to the Chaos Realm; that's the stage where geniuses from all realms can truly shine."
Xiao Hei nodded. "I'll definitely go, but I won't be the only one."
Tan Zongzhao was startled. "You're not the only one? Are there any other geniuses in the Mortal Realm who can rival you?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hei laughed and said, "Comparable? Perhaps I am stronger than my fellow disciples in body refinement, but in other aspects, each of them has their own different cultivation path. In my opinion, they are all top geniuses on their respective paths."
Fellow disciples?
"In the current Mortal Realm, is it still possible to simultaneously cultivate geniuses like you in various fields?"
It's no wonder Tan Zongzhao doubts. If it were the Mortal Realm in High Antiquity times, then Tan Zongzhao believe it, such as Azure Firmament Academy.
But does such a resource truly exist in the Mortal Realm now?
You'll find out then.
Tan Zongzhao felt that if what Xiao Hei said was true, then he had struck gold. He excitedly exclaimed, "Then you absolutely must come to our Chaotic Spirit Academy! There, you can enjoy the greatest degree of freedom. Only Chaotic Spirit Academy, with its power and prestige, can still provide students with ample space for free development!"
Xiao Hei smiled and said, "Let's see."
After all, it seems that Senior Sister Senior Brother Ning have taken on the heavy responsibility of the Azure Firmament Academy.
At this moment.
A sound came from the sky.
"The fifth challenge is a one-on-one duel between the two of you. The winner will become the heir."
Xiao Hei turned to look at Tan Zongzhao and asked, "Let's fight again when you've recovered."
Looking at Xiao Hei's nearly fully recovered body, where all the injuries had completely disappeared as if the fight had never happened, Tan Zongzhao couldn't help but exclaim, "Your bloodline Higher Vehicle even in the Chaos Realm, but..."
At this point, Tan Zongzhao smiled smugly, turned his head to look at the sky again, and said, "Let's save this fight for when you come to the Chaos Realm."
Xiao Hei was slightly startled. "What do you mean?"
"That means I concede defeat in this fifth trial, and the heir to the Nine Nether Underworld is yours."
Tan Zongzhao's thinking was very clear. When he saw the two high-ranking officials of the Nine Nether Underworld personally bringing Xiao Hei here, he already knew that Xiao Hei was a person favored by the high-ranking officials of the Nine Nether Underworld.
Could someone so highly regarded and favored by the Nine Nether Underworld be lacking in talent?
Adding to the battle just now, Tan Zongzhao witnessed firsthand, he had a premonition that Xiao Hei would surely become famous throughout the world!
Since that's the case, why not offer timely help, do him a favor, and befriend him? That would be of greater help to Tan Zongzhao.
Moreover... since he is someone valued and respected by the Nine Nether Underworld, his actions will also earn the favor of the Nine Nether Underworld, who will think that Tan Zongzhao has a broad vision.
Moreover... even if he wins in the end and defeats the talent valued by the Nine Nether Underworld, wouldn't the higher-ups of the Underworld hate him to death?
From the very beginning, Tan Zongzhao had already conceived this plot in his mind.
Years later... when his disciples asked Tan Zongzhao what the wisest thing he had ever done in his life was.
Tan Zongzhao recount this story...
After hearing Tan Zongzhao's reply, Xiao Hei was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Consider it a favor; you saved me a lot of time."
Tan Zongzhao and said, "Are you worried about the Evil Devil Domain's attack on the Mortal Realm?"
"Although I can't persuade Master and the others—after all, the Chaotic Spirit Academy won't participate in the Great Realm War, and my influence isn't that great—bringing some friends to help you is no problem."
Xiao Hei chuckled, "Thanks a lot then... By the way, how many do you have?"
Tan Zongzhao chuckled, stood up, patted Xiao Hei on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, I still have many friends."
