Chapter 724 (2/2)

His cultivation path was different from other people’s . This Spiritual Strength actually contained a trace of energy that increased a person’s mental realm . But he cultivated the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art, and his Spiritual Strength increased with his cultivation base . As for comprehension? He had no need for it . He had no bottleneck to speak of, so he had no need for comprehension .

But that flame leopard had truly been extremely lifelike . Furthermore, it was impossible to sense spiritual fluctuations here . Even Long Chen had thought it had been a real Magical Beast .

Long Chen followed the path . Occasionally, more spiritual beasts would attack him . But they were each killed in one blow by him .

He realized the benefits that the Nine Netherworld Path gave . He didn’t know how they had done this, but they had gathered the resentful spirits from the battlefields and turned them into pure Spiritual Strength . The Xuantian Dao Sect’s foundation was shocking .

At the same time, he felt excitement for Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er . The two of them had powerful souls, and the benefits they could obtain here were unimaginable . That was especially true for Meng Qi . This place was practically a holy land for her .

As he advanced, the spiritual Magical Beasts became stronger . But it was nothing to Long Chen .

After walking for a long time, a surprising figure appeared in front of him .

“Shui Guanzhi!”

Long Chen was surprised to run into Shui Guanzhi here . Shui Guanzhi didn’t say a word; however, he suddenly formed hand seals, and a huge water prison appeared around Long Chen .

“Break!” Long Chen roared and his Spiritual Strength surged out . The water prison was instantly broken . But at the same time, Shui Guanzhi disappeared and a transparent figure appeared in his stead .

Long Chen shot out a spiritual arrow that caused that figure to explode, filling the air with pure Spiritual Strength .

Long Chen had truly been startled to see Shui Guanzhi here . But as soon as Shui Guanzhi had used a magical art, he had noticed some clues . The Nine Netherworld Path was special, and other than soul energy, no other energy could be used . There was no way for Shui Guanzhi to use a magical art .

So as soon as Shui Guanzhi had attacked, Long Chen had released his Spiritual Strength, destroying the illusion of Shui Guanzhi .

After that figure was destroyed, Long Chen sensed a faint aura that made it seem like that figure had had some kind of faint intelligence . It was extremely strange .

Long Chen couldn’t be bothered to absorb the Spiritual Strength from that figure . This Spiritual Strength was useless to him . As long as he didn’t use too much of his Spiritual Strength, there was no need for him to absorb it . He quickened his footsteps as there was something he wanted here .

While Long Chen was rapidly advancing, the other disciples had also entered the Nine Netherworld Path . There were three others that stayed behind with Gu Yang . They were all people with incredibly weak Spiritual Strength . If they entered, then just an ordinary spiritual beast would kill them .

These four people were all stocky fellows who seemed to specialize in brute force . They looked at each other sympathetically .

The vice sect master waited until everyone had entered the Nine Netherworld Path to take out a strange chessboard . This was no ordinary chessboard . In truth, it was a map .

The map revealed an extremely complicated and interweaving labyrinth . There were countless dots of light that slowly appeared .

Each of those dots represented a disciple . With so many dots, no one could tell who was who .

“Eh, why is that dot so much brighter than the others?” asked a monastery head .

“This disciple killed comparatively more spiritual beasts and absorbed more Spiritual Strength than the others . For someone to already have such a huge lead at the very start, who could it be?” One of the monastery heads who had attended the trial multiple times explained .

The vice sect master pressed the dot and formed a seal with his other hand . The map disappeared, revealing a figure .

“It’s her?”

That image was of a peerless beauty . With a wave of her hand, a spiritual arrow shot out, killing all the densely packed spiritual beasts in front of her . That power was absolutely shocking, but she accomplished it so easily .

This woman was naturally Meng Qi . As soon as she had figured out the situation with the Nine Netherworld Path, she had begun a slaughter of the spiritual beasts here .

Although her spiritual seed had come from Long Chen, absorbing this Spiritual Strength would greatly strengthen her spiritual sea . She was like a fish in water here .

After that, a few other dots rapidly brightened as well . Those people were the Four Heavenly Geniuses, and surprisingly, the fifth person wasn’t Long Chen, but Tang Wan-er .

“What is Long Chen doing?” The monastery heads were all dumbfounded . It couldn’t be that he was goofing off, right?
