Chapter 523: Reforging the Palm Sword

Actually, Bai Zhan did not care about Xiao Chen at all. Even though Xiao Chen had comprehended saber intent, had exquisite Saber Techniques, and simultaneously comprehended two states, Xiao Chen was still two Cultivation Grades lower than him.

Bai Zhan’s cultivation had been obtained through hard work. He had used an unknown amount of Spirit Herbs, miraculous medicines, and natural treasures. He also cultivated the peak Superior Grade Earth Ranked Cultivation Technique of the Evil Moon Pavilion.

In regard to cultivating conditions, Bai Zhan was far ahead of Xiao Chen. Furthermore, his talent was not weaker than Xiao Chen’s. He had the confidence of dealing with Xiao Chen in ten moves, not even giving him an opportunity to escape.

However, Xiao Chen had an Advanced Eros Demon with him, which added a variable into the fight. Bai Zhan no longer had complete confidence in preventing Xiao Chen from fleeing. So, he had to deal with Xiao Chen’s Eros Demon first before he would make a move.

This was how Bai Zhan was. He would not make a move unless he had complete confidence of victory. However, the moment he made a move, he would not leave any room for failure.

The green-robed young master smiled and said, “That is the best. If he is tactful, I might be willing to spare his life. If not, then don’t blame me for being vicious.”

Thus, this topic ended here. The green-robed young master asked Bai Zhan another question: “Brother Bai, you are part of the group at the peak of the Great Jin Nation. Tell me, with my strength, will I be able to rank highly in your Great Jin Nation? Maybe I should partic.i.p.ate in the next Five Nation Youth Compet.i.tion and see if I can snag a top ten position.”

Previously, the many outstanding talents of the Boundless Sea could not be bothered to partic.i.p.ate in the Five Nation Youth Compet.i.tion. The rewards were not sufficient to catch their eyes.

This was because there were similar compet.i.tions in the four regions of the Boundless Sea as well. Furthermore, the rewards were not inferior to what was offered in the Five Nation Youth Compet.i.tion.

However, there was a rumor that this round of the Five Nation Youth Compet.i.tion was special. This was the budding era of geniuses. Heroes poured forth, and geniuses gathered. This had already attracted the attention of the upper echelons. Those who ranked highly could enter the Upper Realm.

The mysterious Upper Realm held a fatal attraction for the cultivators of the Boundless Sea. Naturally, the green-robed young master was no exception.

When Bai Zhan heard the confidence in the green-robed young master’s tone, as if getting a top ten position was inevitable, he could not help but mock the green-robed young master in his heart. You overestimate yourself. Even I am not confident of making it to the top ten. I wonder where his confidence is coming from?

“Everyone knows that the Great Jin Nation has ten great sects. The true inheritors of every sect are all top-rate geniuses. However, what many people do not know is that there are eight great n.o.ble clans that are even stronger. These clans have existed since the Tianwu Dynasty. Some of these clans even date back to before the Tianwu Dynasty. Every one of these clans have produced a Martial Emperor before.

“Ten true inheritors and the heirs of the eight n.o.ble clans—those are eighteen people. The top eighteen positions of every Five Nation Youth Compet.i.tion are usually monopolized by these eighteen people. With your strength, you can try fighting for the remaining two positions of the top twenty.

“However, you do not have much hope, either. This is because there are many hidden independent cultivators. The four nations have recently produced some peak geniuses as well. With your strength, you can only be sure of a top thirty position.”

Bai Zhan wanted to deal a blow to this person’s arrogance, to prevent him from getting overconfident. So, Bai Zhan told him the truth.

When the green-robed young master heard Bai Zhan’s words, he felt embarra.s.sed. The top ten was the standard for the peak. The top twenty were top rate. As for the top thirty, they were merely second rate.

The green-robed young master smiled disconcertedly and stopped pursuing this topic in preference of other things.

As the few Eros Demons served them, the two happily drank and chatted. The sky slowly turned dark.

“Brother Bai, stay here tonight. I will discuss that matter with my brothers first.”

The green-robed young master did not let Bai Zhan refuse his offer, insisting that Bai Zhan stay. He revealed a nefarious smile on his handsome face as he ordered the scantily clad Eros Demons, “Take care of Brother Bai properly tonight. If he is not satisfied, I will punish you.”

The subdued Eros Demons bowed, revealing a lot of their skin. They smiled and said in seductive voices, “Rest a.s.sured, Master. We will definitely not disappoint Young Master Bai.”

As Bai Zhan watched the green-robed young master leave, he smiled coldly to himself. This person is extremely reckless. He even dares to cultivate an incomplete ancient Cultivation Technique.

In the end, dual cultivation is an unorthodox cultivating method. Furthermore, it is incomplete. This person will end up developing a heart demon and sinking deeply into it.

There were no shortcuts in the Martial Path. This had been proven since ancient times. Few who took shortcuts had good endings.

Bai Zhan set down his winecup and looked at the beauties surrounding him. He frowned slightly and said coldly, “Thinking of absorbing my Yang energy to pry into the Evil Moon Pavilion’s Cultivation Techniques? Do you really think that I would not figure out this trick? Stupid.”

Bai Zhan quickly moved his forefinger. It flashed with a brilliant light as it poked the six Eros Demons in the forehead. Then, a mark appeared and they all fell into deep sleep.

In the past four days, Xiao Chen had been focusing on refining the Spirit Gathering Pearls. This was so he could strengthen his cultivation to deal with the Evil Moon Pavilion’s Bai Zhan.

However, Xiao Chen did not know that Bai Zhan had already made a move. Furthermore, he was using someone else to do it, using tricks to deal with Xiao Chen. He laid trap after trap to force Xiao Chen into desperation one step at a time.

In the past four days, Xiao Chen already used four Spirit Gathering Pearls. His Essence increased explosively. The purple Qi whirlpool became even more resplendent and crystalline.

Suddenly, faint crystals appeared in the Qi whirlpool, a sign of Qi crystallization.
