Chapter 308
The Xuantian Monastery’s disciples had all gathered at the Xuantian plaza . That was because today, all the core disciples would be sent to the supermonastery to enter the Jiuli secret realm .
Although only the core disciples could enter, that didn’t reduce the other disciples’ enthusiasm .
Long Chen, Tang Wan-er, Ye Zhiqiu, and all the other core disciples were standing at the front . Just looking at them filled the other disciples with excitement .
The Jiuli secret realm was said to be a s.p.a.ce left behind from the ancient era . There were countless opportunities within it, and natural treasures were everywhere . It only opened once every hundred years .
Ling Yun-zi was leading a group of Elders . Looking at the flouris.h.i.+ng disciples, he was filled with pride .
Under Long Chen’s guidance, the monastery’s disciples were now elites amongst elites . Their inner disciples were now not much weaker than their ordinary core disciples of years past .
As for Gu Yang and the other core disciples, their power went without saying . They were even comparable to Favored .
And of course, the most gratifying thing for Ling Yun-zi was that they had existences like Long Chen, Wilde, and Tang Wan-er amongst them . That filled him with confidence for the Jiuli secret realm
“Are you all prepared?” Ling Yun-zi looked at the inspired disciples .
In all of his memories, he didn’t remember Long Chen ever appearing so excited . Long Chen was normally like a calm, rippleless well .
Although Long Chen was doing his best to suppress his excitement, that light in his eyes completely sold him out .
Only Long Chen knew that his excitement was because there was something within the Jiuli secret realm that seemed to be summoning him . That feeling was becoming stronger and stronger .
“We’re ready!” responded all the core disciples .
“Move out!”
Ling Yun-zi didn’t waste any time on useless words . He knew that any words were useless to these disciples who had toed the line between life and death . Why would he bother wasting his time?
“Senior apprentice-brothers and senior apprentice-sisters will definitely return in triumph!” The other disciples all cried out their goodbyes .
Long Chen felt his body move suddenly, and before he knew it, he was in the rear mountains of the monastery . There was a stone platform around a hundred meters wide here . Atop the stone platform were dozens of pillars that had countless ancient runes carved onto them . This was the monastery’s transportation formation .
Ling Yun-zi brought them on top of it . Touching the stone pillar in the center, all the various stone pillars’ runes lit up .
Everyone immediately felt their bodies tighten . They felt a terrifying pressure squeeze them, and s.p.a.ce was beginning to twist .
“Don’t be afraid . This is the spatial power of the transportation formation . After adapting for a moment, you’ll be fine . ” Ling Yun-zi smiled and consoled everyone when they saw their fear .
s.p.a.ce was constantly twisting, and it was if they had entered water . Their surroundings were no longer clear .
“Our 108th monastery is comparatively poor, and we could only construct the lowest grade transportation formation . That’s why it takes so long . ”
Ling Yun-zi explained that transportation formations were split into different grades . These grades were differentiated by two characteristics: the transportation distance as well as the speed and stability of the transportation .
The monastery was over a million miles from the supermonastery . A better transportation formation would only need a single breath’s time .
If it was a peak transportation formation like the first monastery, then it was practically instant . But their 108th monastery’s transportation formation was the lowest grade in order to save on the huge amount of resources used for each activation .
However, the shortcomings were extremely obvious . Not only did it require an incense stick of time, but during the transportation process, s.p.a.ce was extremely unsteady, causing everyone who used it to feel a very harsh spatial pressure . Ordinary disciples were unable to bear that kind of pressure . Even core disciples like Gu Yang would feel uncomfortable under that pressure .
However, after just a couple breaths of unpleasantness, the core disciples did adapt and felt much better .
Once everyone had become accustomed, Ling Yun-zi turned to Long Chen gravely . “Long Chen, this time, you must be absolutely careful within the Jiuli secret realm . Of all of you, you’re the one I worry about the most . ”
That startled everyone, with only Long Chen nodding his head in comprehension .
However, the others didn’t understand . Long Chen was the strongest of all of them . Even if they all joined hands, they wouldn’t necessarily be able to defeat Long Chen . Why would the sect leader worry most about him?
“You all might not know about this, but I’ve heard that the Corrupt path has already placed Long Chen on their must-kill list . He is ranked only second to the first monastery’s Han Tianyu . ”
The Corrupt path was extremely powerful, with many sects . Last time, Long Chen had defeated their number one genius in this region, Yin Luo . That had shaken the entire Corrupt path .
After their investigation, they had decided to place Long Chen on the must-kill list . That must-kill list was all the greatest geniuses of the Righteous path . They gave them a ranking according to their threat level .
It was said that the Corrupt path’s must-kill list only had a hundred people, and they were normally all Chosen or extremely powerful Favored . The person ranked number one was the first monastery’s number one Chosen, Han Tianyu .
