Chapter 688: Chapter 688: Such a Pity
It took a full six months for Ling Chen to achieve a breakthrough, marking the longest record in his seclusion.
Breaking into the World Realm, as expected, his Sword Intent Realm has also advanced by one level.
Ling Chen has completely mastered the six layers of Sword Intent!
Next, what he needs is to fuse these six layers of Sword Intent together to form the true Sword Dao.
Fusing Sword Intent into Sword Dao is extremely difficult.
Ling Chen is not in a hurry.
At the moment, even he is unsure of the extent of his own strength.
Although his cultivation is at the early stage of the first layer of the World Realm, his Spiritual Power and World Power are absolutely comparable to the early fourth layer of the World Realm.
Plus, he has many methods such as the Power of Fusion and the Green Lotus Bloodline.
It’s estimated that below the sixth layer of the World Realm, he would have almost no adversaries!
After becoming a King, Ling Chen finally has the strength to protect his loved ones.
He no longer needs the protection of others.
He can completely bring his father and others into his internal world.
Unless he dies, his father and Xiao Wu would not suffer any harm.
Ling Chen spent some time organizing the treasures in his storage ring, and put all of them into his internal world.
Having slain dozens of Kings, especially a Sect Master-level King, he even took over the stronghold of the Divine Saber Sect.
There are merely twelve thousand top-grade Spirit Crystals.
As for mid-grade and low-grade Spirit Crystals, they are innumerable.
Moreover, there are also more than twenty Emperor Spiritual Weapons and hundreds of King Spiritual Weapons.
There are also a great number of other treasures like Elixirs and Spiritual Medicines.
Ling Chen sorted out some and gave them to followers like Ji Wuya, Liu Qingcang, and Lin Xiaodu.
For his father and Ling Wu, of course, he gave the finest among the fine.
In a blink of an eye, a month quietly passed by.
On this day.
All the Cultivators of the Star Pavilion gathered.
Including Shen Xing, there were no fewer than twenty-three Kings.
In this half year, two more Cultivators have successfully broken through to become Kings!
"Alright, today we’ll head to the Burning Flame Sect, seize the position of Domain Lord, and by the way, clean up the Burning Flame Sect!"
Liu Xiao said with a smile.
"Yes!"
Everyone responded.
Among the twenty-three Kings.
The first protector, Lei Lie, stayed to guard the Star Pavilion.
Aside from these twenty-two Kings, there are many Elders and disciples who went to observe the battle.
The Young Pavilion Master Liu Yu was also among them.
Now, Liu Yu is already a powerful practitioner at the late ninth layer of the Palace Mansion Realm!
Only one step away from the World Realm.
Because he possesses the Silver Palace, even in the King Realm he is nearly invincible!
The Kings are all hidden within the internal world of the Kings.
Ling Chen brought along his father, Ling Wu, Ji Wuya, and Liu Qingcang.
The twenty-two Kings, traveling by the Transmission Spirit Array, arrived at the Burning Flame Sect after a few transfers.
"Master Liu!"
Ye Tianjun led the Kings over to welcome them.
While it was called a welcome, it was actually out of fear that Liu Xiao would make a move.
Although there is a Patrol Envoy present, it’s still just in case.
"Sect Master Ye!"
Liu Xiao greeted slightly with a bow.
The two of them clearly held a deep grudge, but their meeting appeared as cordial as old friends.
Wearing insincere smiles on their faces.
Seeing that the Star Pavilion had twenty-two Kings, Ye Tianjun couldn’t help but tense up.
His Burning Flame Sect, even after unifying nine factions, had only seventeen Kings.
Moreover, the Star Pavilion had Ling Chen and Shen Xing, two top experts second only to himself!
If a fight were to break out, his side probably wouldn’t be enough for these two to kill.
Ye Tianjun’s gaze swept across everyone, most were one-star Kings.
However, when his gaze fell on Ling Chen, his body involuntarily trembled.
"World Realm!"
Ye Tianjun stared at Ling Chen intently.
In less than half a year, Ling Chen had become a King of the World Realm?
This was absolutely astounding!
How long has Ling Chen been here? Just a year or two? And he jumped from the third layer of the Palace Mansion Realm to become a World Realm King?
Keep in mind, when Ling Chen was at the Palace Mansion Realm, he could slay three-star Kings!
Now, Ling Chen’s strength is probably comparable to that of four or five-star Kings, right?
If he hadn’t broken through, he would probably be no match for Ling Chen!
The five Palace Mansion Realm late-third-stage Kings looked at Ling Chen with eyes filled with terror.
They had naturally sensed Ling Chen’s cultivation level!
Their faces turned pale.
"Master Liu, please follow me to meet Lord Patrol Envoy!"
Ye Tianjun spoke.
Regardless, with the presence of Lord Patrol Envoy here, the people of the Star Pavilion would not dare to act rashly!
"Very well, please lead the way, Sect Master Ye."
Liu Xiao said.
Soon, under the guidance of Ye Tianjun, they arrived at a newly built pavilion within the Burning Flame Sect.
This was specially prepared for the Patrol Envoy.
"Sir, Master Liu has arrived."
Ye Tianjun announced loudly.
"Oh? Please invite him in quickly!"
An eager voice came from inside.
Upon hearing this, Ye Tianjun’s expression changed slightly.
It seemed that Lord Patrol Envoy had a rather good impression of the people from the Star Pavilion.
"Yes."
Ye Tianjun responded.
Even if Lord Patrol Envoy placed considerable emphasis on the Star Pavilion, as long as he won the battle for Domain Lord,
the Star Pavilion would no longer be a threat!
After he eliminates Liu Xiao, then he will strike against Ling Chen and Shen Xing.
With his sixth stage World Realm cultivation, these two would definitely be no match for him.
In the living room.
There were only three people.
Xiao Chusheng, Ye Tianjun, and Liu Xiao.
Everyone else was standing in the courtyard.
They did not yet have the qualifications to meet Lord Patrol Envoy.
"Master Liu, your reputation precedes you!"
Xiao Chusheng looked at Liu Xiao and smiled.
"Lord Patrol Envoy flatters me. How could my modest reputation reach your esteemed ears? On the contrary, it is you, Sir, who surprises me! So young, yet your strength far surpasses ours! Truly shaming for us! I imagine it won’t be long before you become a Great Emperor!"
Liu Xiao smiled.
"Ha ha!"
Xiao Chusheng laughed heartily and said, "Master Liu, you overstate it. I heard that Master Liu has cultivated two geniuses. Did they not come with you?"
"They are waiting outside; how could they dare to appear without the Envoy’s summons?"
Liu Xiao said.
Xiao Chusheng looked at Ye Tianjun and said, "Sect Master Ye, could you please invite Ling Chen and Shen Xing, these two geniuses, inside?"
"Yes."
Ye Tianjun quickly responded.
Then he went out and brought Ling Chen and Shen Xing in.
"We pay our respects to Lord Patrol Envoy!"
The two hurriedly paid their respects.
"No need for formality, please sit!"
Xiao Chusheng smiled.
His gaze swept over the two of them, finally resting on Ling Chen. A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
According to his investigation, Ling Chen was of Palace Mansion Realm cultivation.
He did not expect that Ling Chen had now advanced to King!
"What a pity!"
Xiao Chusheng thought to himself.
Had Ling Chen not advanced to King, he had planned to take Ling Chen back with him.
Under the guidance of Lord Governor, this person could evolve into a Super World at the very least.
And even a flawless World might not be impossible!
But now, having advanced to King, Ling Chen would probably be just an ordinary World, at most a Super World like him!
A Super World is still quite decent in Qing Province.
But compared to the geniuses of the Nine Provinces, it is hardly worth mentioning.
Immediately, he turned his attention to Shen Xing.
"I wonder, Mr. Shen, are you a native of Qing Province?"
Xiao Chusheng smiled.
"I come from Central Province!"
Shen Xing smiled.
Xiao Chusheng’s expression turned serious, "So it turns out Mr. Shen, you actually come from such a land renowned for its geniuses!"
The world is divided into nine provinces.
With a fortune shared among ten scoops.
And Central Province held a vast majority with nine scoops of it!
Almost the other eight provinces shared that pitiful one scoop of fortune.
