Chapter 685

This concession shocked everyone, including Long Chen . This was admitting defeat! Not only would they lose their woman, but they would also lose all their faces .

“Grandfather!” Huo Wufang was extremely unwilling .

“It’s just a woman . If you want to play, you have to be able to accept losing . Furthermore, with your status, what woman couldn’t you get?”

Huo Changsheng turned to Long Chen . “This time, my Huo family admits defeat . But this game still isn’t over . The final winner is something we’ll only know in the future . As for you, you’re just a chess piece . When you run out of use, hehe, I want to see just what you’ll do . ”

After saying that, Huo Changsheng didn’t give Long Chen any chance to reply . He directly bowed to the Tower Ancestor and led his people away .

…

BANG!

A delicate jade chessboard was viciously thrown to the ground, shattering into pieces . It was like the destruction of this chessboard could relieve some of Huo Wufang’s anger .

“Grandfather, why did you have me admit defeat?! I’m confident in being able to kill Long San!” raged Huo Wufang .

“You’re looking down on Long San too much . He’s extremely strong . If you were to fight now, you’d only have a fifty percent chance of winning . For a woman, you would expose your strength? It’s extremely unworthy . Right now, this game of chess has only been half-played .

“The Fang family has managed to obtain a strong piece, and the situation seems favorable to them for now . But that doesn’t mean that they have any chance of winning .

“Furthermore, your bones haven’t completely adapted to you . You still need more time . When they’re perfectly adapted, won’t you be able to exterminate Long San with a wave of your hand?

“The most important thing for you is to focus on the finals . If you can take first place, hmph, then the Fang and Chai families will all die without a burial ground,” said Huo Changsheng .

Huo Wufang said, “But that Long San is extremely strange . His alchemy arts are too profound to see through . If I killed him today, wouldn’t first place be in my pocket?”

Huo Changsheng shook his head . “You’re thinking too simply . Even a.s.suming you could defeat him, the Tower Ancestor wouldn’t have let you kill him . ”

Huo Wufang said, “What cultivation base does the Tower Ancestor have for you to be this deferential to him?”

Huo Changsheng sighed, “Originally, I thought that the person in charge of the Pill Emperor Compet.i.tion would be the tower administrator . I never expected a Tower Ancestor to personally come . The reason I have to be deferential toward him is both because of his supreme authority as well as the fact that he is an Ancestor-level expert . ”

“Ancestor-level? What realm is that?” asked Huo Wufang .

“The Ancestor level is just a nickname, referring to the leaders and ancestors of the top sects . Their actual realm is above Sea Expansion, and is called Foundation Forging . Foundation Forging experts are peak existences in the Eastern Wasteland . Such experts only exist within the supreme sects .

“But such figures are so powerful that we rarely come into contact with them . Let alone Foundation Forging experts, I’ve rarely even seen any half-step Foundation Forging experts,“ said Huo Changsheng .

“Grandfather, aren’t you at the peak of Sea Expansion? According to reason, aren’t you just one step away from Foundation Forging?”

“Hehe, that’s not entirely correct . The so-called Sea Expansion realm refers to expanding the qi sea . The goal is to push the qi sea to the greatest possible size .

“Someone at Sea Expansion has more than a hundred times the spiritual yuan of someone at the peak of the Xiantian realm . The Xiantian realm is just a stepping stone . Only when you reach Sea Expansion will your qi sea grow to an immense size . It won’t just be able to store spiritual yuan, but you’ll also be able to summon your qi sea manifestation when you fight .

“Only by reaching Sea Expansion can you truly control heaven and earth’s energy, using magical arts to kill your opponents . It is a dividing line in the cultivation world .

“Celestials are said to be able to battle across realms . In Meridian Opening, they can dominate the Xiantian realm . But Celestials that reach the Xiantian realm will find it difficult to fight against Sea Expansion .

“That’s because Sea Expansion experts can rely on their control of natural energy to resist the suppression of the Cry of the Heavenly Daos . So although there are some Xiantian Celestials capable of fighting Sea Expansion experts, that only refers to the early stage . Being able to fight against the mid stage is not very likely, let alone the late stage .

“Well, in truth, even knowing these things doesn’t have any use to you . You should adjust your mental state and focus on alchemy . Reach your peak state for the finals!”

“Yes, grandfather . I know . I’ll take first place, and at that time, when the Chai and Fang families are exterminated, I’ll personally handle Long San and that s.l.u.t Hua Biluo . I’ll make them live a life worse than death . ” Huo Wufang clenched his teeth .

…

Long Chen couldn’t help feeling like something was strange as he watched Huo Changsheng and the others leave . This was a bit off from his expectations . Was the Huo family really just going to accept this loss?

Although he didn’t really understand it, at least Hua Biluo’s matter was settled . Long Chen cupped his fists toward the Tower Ancestor .
