Chapter 703
At this moment, Shui Wuhen’s expression was solemn . “This martial gathering hosted by the Xuantian Dao Sect is different from the past . In the past, it was just a trial and experience for disciples . But this time, it has coincided with the opening of the Immemorial Pathway, so it has an added purpose to fight for quotas . ”
“Immemorial Pathway?” asked Long Chen .
“The Immemorial Pathway…” Shui Wuhen sighed . “A thousand years ago, I was also just like you . I also chanced upon the opening of the Immemorial Pathway… but at that time…”
Shui Wuhen suddenly went silent . A trace of fear appeared in her eyes . It was obvious just how terrifying that Immemorial Pathway had been for her .
She sighed, brus.h.i.+ng off those miserable memories . “It’s best to just talk about the trial for now . But before that, let me first give you a brief explanation about the structure of the Xuantian Dao Sect .
“Although the Xuantian Dao Sect I’m talking about is just the branch sect, it has tens of millions of elite cultivators . As for the people who can attend the martial gathering this time, they are elites amongst elites . Our thirty-sixth supermonastery is the weakest existence of all the supermonasteries . ” When she reached there, Shui Wuhen became a bit embarra.s.sed .
Long Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry . “The monastery I was at was also the weakest existence . Now the supermonastery is also the weakest existence . Don’t tell me that the branch sect we’re at is also the weakest amongst the branch sects . My luck can’t be that bad, right?”
Shui Wuhen looked at Long Chen . She didn’t say anything for a long time .
“Really? This branch sect is also the weakest?” Long Chen was speechless . How was it possible to have such bad luck?
“Cough, but even so, our Xuantian Dao Sect is still one of the overlords of the Eastern Wasteland . As you’ve seen, almost one hundred thousand people are attending the trial this time from the thirty-six supermonasteries . As for our thirty-sixth supermonastery, we have less than five hundred people . ” Shui Wuhen became even more embarra.s.sed .
Out of these five hundred people, the Dragonblood Legion occupied three hundred and sixty members . That was because the trial’s criteria required that the disciple had to reach the Xiantian realm and was not older than fifty .
Ninety-nine percent of the disciples were washed out by these requirements . If it weren’t for the Dragonblood Legion, Shui Wuhen would have been too embarra.s.sed to even come here to attend the trial .
That was because the other supermonasteries all had over a thousand elites who could attend, or even several thousand . When the thirty-sixth supermonastery was compared to them, they truly were weaker .
And if they didn’t have Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er who were Celestials, then they truly would have been turned into the Xuantian Dao Sect’s laughingstock .
But now that a monster like Long Chen had returned, the thirty-sixth supermonastery’s position had immediately risen .
“Let’s not talk about those elite Xiantian disciples . Just in terms of Celestials, there are thirty-three experts, and amongst them are the Four Heavenly Geniuses and Three Peerless Beauties…” At this point, Shui Wuhen smiled slightly .
As for Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er, they blushed . Long Chen immediately understood that the two of them were within the so-called Three Peerless Beauties .
When it came to looks, Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er were definitely beauties that could bring about the downfall of a state . With their exceptional beauty, it was very normal for them to be in that ranking .
“Could it be that there is someone else that can compare to my two wives? Impossible!” Long Chen was a bit surprised .
Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er blushed even further . Tang Wan-er gave Long Chen a pinch, but Long Chen’s skin was too tough, and she felt like she was trying to pinch dragonhide . She was unable to use the slightest force .
But Long Chen’s words were still praising their beauty, and they both liked that . What women didn’t like such words? Even confident women would be delighted upon being praised .
“As soon as someone mentions a beautiful woman, your tail immediately p.r.i.c.ks up . Are you not interested in the Four Heavenly Geniuses?” Shui Wuhen rolled her eyes at Long Chen . This little fellow never paid attention to the important details .
“Cough, nothing like that . I was just curious,” Long Chen explained hastily . But he grumbled inside, “Sister, why must you intentionally frame me?”
As expected, Tang Wan-er, Meng Qi, the Dragonblood warriors, and even the elite disciples from the other monasteries looked at Long Chen with a strange gaze .
“Boss, you’ve already taken two of the three beauties . You’re just lacking one for a complete set . Aiya!” Guo Ran was suddenly sent flying by a burst of wind . He tumbled back and collided against a wall . His head was stuck in the ground as his b.u.t.t was raised toward the sky . He was stuck in an exceedingly sorry and comical position which caused a burst of laughter .
“Guo Ran, do you think you’re too big for a beating?!” raged Tang Wan-er .
Currently, she was a true Celestial, and she was even a powerful existence amongst Celestials . Guo Ran was unlucky, as with Long Chen present, he had forgotten something .
He had forgotten that even Long Chen wouldn’t fight with Tang Wan-er .
Little Snow had been released at this time, and he had simply been laying there without saying a word . Now, he suddenly let out a growl .
“Haha, even Little Snow says he deserves it!” laughed Meng Qi . She was the only one here other than Long Chen who could understand Little Snow’s spiritual fluctuations .
“Fine, I was wrong . ” Guo Ran crawled up from the ground dejectedly . Now he had gotten smarter, and he hid behind Long Chen . Now, on the off chance he said something wrong again, Long Chen would become his s.h.i.+eld .
