Ding Ding Little Stone
Chapter 260 Fame Under Heaven!
If Qi Gathering and Essence Condensation was considered an initial glimpse into the field, and True Essence Mysticism was entering the hall, then the Core Realm was of considerable importance. In the Jianghu world, it was referred to as Grandmaster!
What is a Grandmaster?
One who can be a teacher, establish a sect...
Within a single province, if a sect could produce a Core Realm expert, it would immediately rise to the ranks of first-class powers. To a certain extent, even the local government would have to treat them with utmost caution.
And most importantly, the Core Realm had begun to gradually break away from the category of mortal flesh.
Below the Core Realm were all mortals. Even if they possessed extraordinary strength, their lifespan would not exceed a hundred years. There would be very few in the world who could live past a hundred years.
But what about the Core Realm?
According to Chen Yuan, upon the formation of the Core, one gains three Jiazi of life.
This meant that a Core Realm expert's lifespan had reached three Jiazi, which was one hundred and eighty years.
The Hidden Dragon Ranking was also divided for this reason. Those below the Core Realm, no matter how strong their talent and strength were, were just hidden dragons. Advancing to the Core Realm was transforming into a dragon.
Chen Yuan's appearance on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, with great potential for the Core Realm, attracted far more attention than before, and could be considered an initial rise to fame, recognized as a genius by the world.
Holding the Immortal Ascension Tower's introduction about himself, Chen Yuan was silent. The Immortal Ascension Tower's introduction was very detailed, including the situation during the previous battle at the Dragon Tiger Sect.
"Congratulations, Lord, on entering the top fifty."
Mo Donghe had a smile on his face.
The higher Chen Yuan's achievements, the happier he was. As the tide rises, so does the boat. Fortunately, he boarded Chen Yuan's boat that was about to set sail.
Taking a long breath, Chen Yuan put down the post in his hand and waved it casually, not saying much.
Chen Yuan didn't pay particular attention to this kind of title that had no substantial reward and only a little bit of vanity. The Immortal Ascension Tower's information was indeed accurate, but it was impossible to list everyone.
He felt that there should be geniuses in this world who were not on the list, perhaps disdaining it, or perhaps not valuing fame and fortune.
"How is the Divine Firmament Hall doing?"
Tapping his fingers on the table, Chen Yuan asked with his eyes slightly narrowed.
Mo Donghe: "Reporting to Lord, they have already replied, and they will be waiting for Lord to arrive at the mountain gate tomorrow!"
"Mm."
Seeing that Shi Yunlong's injuries were almost healed, Chen Yuan naturally wouldn't sit idle anymore and decided to start preparing. As long as Wei Xin agreed to help,
The matter of taking action against Jinshan Temple could also be put on the agenda.
He estimated that he couldn't count on Zhang Xuan. Now he could only hope that Wei Xin's strength hadn't weakened so much.
Looking at Chen Yuan's thoughtful appearance, Mo Donghe's Adam's apple moved and he asked in a low voice:
"Lord... are you about to be transferred?"
Opening his eyes, Chen Yuan focused his gaze on him:
"Who told you?"
This matter was only known to him and Tao Qingyuan!
Before Chen Yuan's breakthrough, Tao Qingyuan had already reported his news to Jiang He, the Azure Envoy of Qing Province. The letter was just returned a couple of days ago, saying that he was not suitable for the position of Southern Ridge Azure Envoy. After Chen Yuan's realm stabilized, he would go to Qing Province City to meet him and then talk about his arrangements.
Tao Qingyuan felt that Jiang He might transfer him to the provincial city to listen to his orders, and even focus on cultivating him because of his potential.
These possibilities made Chen Yuan have some guesses and confusion about the future. He didn't like this feeling of uncertainty very much.
Fortunately, Jiang He did not give Chen Yuan a mandatory time to go to Qing Province City, which made him relieved. At least he had to wait until Jinshan Temple was destroyed.
Perhaps, there might be other situations at that time.
"This subordinate guessed it."
Mo Donghe quickly replied, fearing that Chen Yuan would think that he, a subordinate, had crossed the line.
The longer he followed Chen Yuan, the clearer he could see what kind of personality he had. To sum it up, he liked obedient people and didn't like those who were flamboyant and disobeyed orders.
I give you what I give you, and if I don't give it to you, you can't ask for it.
"Guessing..."
Hearing this word, he suddenly understood.
Thinking about it, he had already broken through to the Profound Realm, and according to the rules, it was impossible for him to stay in Southern Ridge Prefecture for too long. A prefecture could only have one person in charge, and having another Profound Realm martial artist would cause psychological imbalance, and even cause some disputes.
"Even if I am transferred, I will take you with me." Chen Yuan glanced at Mo Donghe.
These people were still handy to use. It would be even better if their strength could be stronger.
"Thank you, Lord, for your appreciation."
Hearing Chen Yuan's accurate answer, Mo Donghe felt relieved. It wasn't that Tao Qingyuan was not good to them, but that Tao Qingyuan's actions were too peaceful. He didn't like it.
What he wanted was a superior like Chen Yuan, who was not afraid of anything, and would destroy the entire family of whoever provoked them. This was the behavior of a true great man.
Also, Tao Qingyuan's upper limit was probably this high, but Chen Yuan was different. He still had a glorious future and potential.
A voice in his heart faintly told him that if he followed Chen Yuan closely, he would definitely get wealth and glory, and he would definitely become a pivotal figure in the world.
If he missed this opportunity, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
"Retreat."
Chen Yuan nodded.
......
......
One night passed without incident, and the next day arrived in the blink of an eye.
After practicing his saber as usual every day, Chen Yuan took Mo Donghe and a few others out of the city in disguise, heading straight for the location of the Divine Firmament Hall's mountain gate. The reason for the disguise was that he didn't want people to notice his whereabouts.
Ever since he destroyed the Dragon Tiger Sect and the Azure Flood Dragon Society, Chen Yuan had discovered that there were many people secretly watching him around the mansion where he lived.
This was normal, representing that Chen Yuan already had the strength and power to make people fear him, and they had to be wary of him, and then send people to patrol around him.
The location of the Divine Firmament Hall was not too far from the prefectural city. It was not on a mountain, but in a valley. The pavilions and halls were more numerous than the Dragon Tiger Sect.
After being brought in, one could also find that the overall strength of the Divine Firmament Hall's disciples was stronger than that of the Dragon Tiger Sect. The only pity was that another genius like Xu Lingtian had not appeared.
However, this was not necessarily the case. The Divine Firmament Hall might also have such disciples, but they had not yet grown up.
The time since the founding of the Divine Firmament Hall was shorter than that of the Dragon Tiger Sect, but its strength had always been above the Dragon Tiger Sect. In the entire Southern Ridge Prefecture, only Jinshan Temple was capable of suppressing the Divine Firmament Hall.
In the early years, when Wei Xin was still at his peak, the power of the Divine Firmament Hall spread across most of the Southern Ridge Prefecture, and even in other nearby prefectures, there were traces of the Divine Firmament Hall's disciples. It could be said that many of the Divine Firmament Hall's disciples were hoping that Wei Xin could take another step forward and bring the Divine Firmament Hall into a new world.
It was a pity that he didn't cross that threshold in the end.
The place where Chen Yuan met Wei Xin was in a secret room of the Divine Firmament Hall. Mo Donghe and the others were all left outside, and he could only go in alone.
After thinking about it for a while, he agreed.
He also wanted to see what tricks Wei Xin could come up with. He even dared to put on airs in front of him. Was it bluffing or confident in the power of the Divine Firmament Hall?
The secret room was not big. After Chen Yuan walked in, he immediately saw an old man with white hair sitting cross-legged with his back to him. The surrounding candlelight illuminated the entire room.
The door of the secret room was closed from the outside. Chen Yuan approached the old man with his back to him step by step with a calm expression.
"Although I have been in seclusion in the valley for a long time, I have still heard a lot of rumors about Lord Chen. I wonder what you are looking for in the Divine Firmament Hall?" An old voice came from the old man with white hair.
"Since I'm here, isn't Hall Master Wei going to show his true face?" Chen Yuan answered irrelevantly, stopping about ten feet away from Wei Xin.
Wei Xin's sitting body slowly floated up and turned around in the void, facing Chen Yuan. His beard and hair were as white as winter snow, his face was sallow, his nose was high, and a pair of long eyebrows hung on his face. His eyes were piercing and he looked Chen Yuan up and down, as if sighing:
"The outside world says that Lord Chen is young, and only after meeting him today can I confirm it. You truly deserve to be called a genius who can be on the top fifty of the Hidden Dragon Ranking."
"Hall Master Wei is too kind."
Chen Yuan couldn't find a suitable title for Wei Xin. It was obviously inappropriate to call him brother, and Wei Xin was not qualified to be called senior, so he could only call him Hall Master.
"My humble abode is simple, please don't blame me, Inspector Chen."
After Wei Xin said this, a futon flew up beside him and landed in front of Chen Yuan, but he did not sit up and remained standing on the ground:
"Hall Master Wei, there's no need to be so polite."
"What is Lord Chen here for?"
Wei Xin didn't have much intention of chatting and returned to the first question again, why Chen Yuan came.
"To save the Divine Firmament Hall."
"Hmm?" Wei Xin narrowed his eyes.
"Fa Hai of Jinshan Temple is now preparing to form the core. Once he successfully breaks through, the Divine Firmament Hall will definitely be impacted, and even have to submit to him.
I hate these bald donkeys. There have been many old grudges before, and now I am preparing to invite Hall Master Wei to take action together." Chen Yuan directly stated his intention and observed his expression.
Unexpectedly, Wei Xin didn't have much surprise, but just said:
"My old injury has not healed, and it is not suitable to take action. Lord Chen is probably looking for the wrong person. Please go back. Wei will not spread this matter."
"Since I'm here, I'm not prepared to go back empty-handed, and I'm not afraid of anything being spread." Chen Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, calm and composed.
"Lord Chen is mistaken." Wei Xin repeated.
"Not mistaken." Chen Yuan said firmly.
"Hmm?" Wei Xin was a little puzzled.
Chen Yuan slowly stretched out his hand to hold the saber: "Since Hall Master Wei's old injury has not healed, then naturally not much strength is left. I came just in time. I think the Divine Firmament Hall's accumulation over the years can satisfy my appetite."
Wei Xin: "...."
"What do you want to do?" Wei Xin took a deep breath and glared at Chen Yuan.
"Isn't it very clear? Since you don't have much strength left, I will naturally destroy the Divine Firmament Hall and take some benefits." Chen Yuan said with a cold face.
"You..." Wei Xin was so angry that a powerful aura quickly rose.
Chen Yuan was not surprised and continued to hold the hilt of the saber and said:
"Either agree to join forces to destroy Jinshan Temple and share the benefits, and the Divine Firmament Hall will begin to revive from now on. Or, the Divine Firmament Hall will follow in the footsteps of the Dragon Tiger Sect and the Azure Flood Dragon Society.
Hall Master Wei, choose one!"
