Chapter 898 (2/2)

A familiar voice sounded . Zhou Yuan raised his head and saw a figure smiling at him . It was Chi Jing .

When she saw Zhou Yuan begin scanning the surroundings again, she waved her hand and said, “I’ve already spread out my domain . No one can listen in to our conversation . ”

Zhou Yuan was somewhat startled and alarmed . He was not the least bit aware that he had fallen into Chi Jing’s domain . He could not help but sigh . The Law Domain was far too powerful . If Chi Jing had even the slightest ill intent, he would have vanished off the face of this land without any resistance .

Smiling, Zhou Yuan cast away his thoughts . “Senior sister Chi Jing . ”

Chi Jing’s long legs strode forward as she smiled and said, “You’re quite capable . I can’t believe you’ve already begun to integrate the four pavilions . ”

She had evidently been observing the four pavilions over the past few days . Zhou Yuan was her junior after all, and she did not want to see him pulled down from his position soon after attaining it .

However, Zhou Yuan’s methods had somewhat surprised her: threatening with a big stick in one hand while dangling a carrot from the other . He had swiftly subdued the Fire and Mountain Pavilions .

Zhou Yuan smiled modestly .

Chi Jing jokingly said, “Although you’ve defeated Lu Xiao, I did not expect you to be placed fourteenth on the Divine Dwelling List . Are you angered by such treatment?”

Zhou Yuan casually shook his head . “Rankings don’t mean much, and being a lower rank has its benefits too . If I encounter a strong opponent in the future, they might underestimate me . ”

“You’re surprisingly open-minded . ” Chi Jing faintly nodded in acknowledgment . Soon after, she sighed softly and said, “But this is not good news for our Tianyuan Region . That la.s.s from the Xuanji Region is not tactful at all . ”

She looked towards Zhou Yuan as she continued, “When you meet that la.s.s from the Xuanji Region in the nine regions tournament, teach her a lesson on my behalf . ”

Zhou Yuan was somewhat speechless . He knew that Chi Jing was referring to Jiu Gong, the cultivator ranked six on the Divine Dwelling List . But you’re a mighty Law Domain stage expert . . . why are you bickering with a Divine Dwelling stage pract.i.tioner?

“Has the date of the nine regions tournament been fixed?” asked Zhou Yuan .

“It’s already in discussion . There should be an outcome within two months . ” Chi Jing glanced at Zhou Yuan and chuckled . “However, you should pray for a little more time . Otherwise, you won’t be able to stand out in the tournament given your current strength .

“You should know Lu Xiao’s previous ranking on the Divine Dwelling List . Hence, defeating him doesn’t mean that you’ll be able to vie with those top heaven prides . ”

She wanted to ground Zhou Yuan .

Zhou Yuan nodded . The recent changes in the Divine Dwelling List allowed him to understand his place . However, he was unafraid . The top rankers had already linked up all nine of their Divine Dwellings and had perfectly polished them, while he had only connected seven . Once he was done with the final two, he might not be any weaker than the top rankers .

“Isn’t that why I rushed over for my reward the moment I found the time?” Zhou Yuan grinned .

He already intended to begin studying the little Saint technique upon obtaining it, and if time permitted, he would also turn his focus towards the mountain spirit rune and forest spirit rune and focus on unblocking the final two Divine Dwellings .

Once he accomplished all of this, he would be more than confident of facing any Divine Dwelling List ranker .

Chi Jing nodded . “Our master personally constructed the Thousand Technique Hall long ago . These Genesis Rune boundaries are his handiwork . ”

As she spoke, she turned around and began heading towards the grand and ancient hall in the distance .

“Follow me . All these years, clan leader Mu Li has overseen the Thousand Technique Hall, and you’ll have to go through her to select a little Saint technique…”

She tilted her head backwards to display a playful smile at Zhou Yuan as her voice rang out, “Hence, you have to make her happy . If she’s happy, you’ll get a good little Saint technique . After all, you should know that even little Saint techniques have different ranks . ”
