After a wild night with Qin Shuirou, Xiao Chen spent the next few days in seclusion. On one hand, he enjoyed Qin Shuirou's gentleness. On the other hand, he began to practice the Nine-heaven Sword Finger that Chen Ling had imparted to him.
It was indeed an extremely Heaven-defying martial skill. Although Xiao Chen did not know what grade the Nine-heaven Sword Finger was, he was certain that it was far beyond a Tian tier martial skill.
He began to practice the Nine-heaven Sword Finger. Of course, Xiao Chen did not slack off when it came to practicing basic sword techniques. At present, Xiao Chen had mastered a total of 68 basic sword techniques. The firmness of his foundation was unimaginable. After all, it was rare for a person to master so many basic sword techniques. However, this was far from Xiao Chen's goal. Knowing the importance of a good foundation, Xiao Chen knew that the 68 basic sword techniques he had mastered were far from enough.
The days passed by peacefully and meaningfully. Xiao Chen spent most of his time cultivating himself. At present, Heavenly Sword Peak was in a very precarious situation. Amongst the nine peaks of Nine Firmaments Palace, Heavenly Sword Peak was like a castle in the sky. It could collapse at any moment. In order to prevent that from happening, the only thing Xiao Chen could rely on was his own strength.
To put it bluntly, Tianjian Peak did not have enough strength. If they did, it would not be so easy for Prison Flame Peak to destroy Tianjian Peak.
Of course, Xiao Chen was not very useful in protecting Tianjian Peak. After all, no matter how talented he was, Xiao Chen was still too young. It would take a long time for him to fully mature. Thus, Tianjian Peak urgently needed an expert who could control the situation. At the very least, they had to be comparable to the Peak Lords of the other eight peaks. Such a person had to be at least a Dao Sovereign.
However, how could a Dao Sovereign come to Tianjian Peak? Judging from the current situation, Tianjian Peak did not have any good ideas. Their only hope was the Ruler of the Continent of the Nine Firmaments.
However, even with the Ruler of the Continent of the Nine Firmaments, it was impossible to guard against Prison Flame Peak's secret tricks.
He was well aware of the Heavenly Sword Peak's current situation. But that night, when Xiao Chen was called to his residence by Cang Xuan, Xiao Chen heard even worse news from Cang Xuan.
It was less than ten days away from returning to the Heavenly Sword Peak. On this night, Cang Xuan rarely came out of seclusion, and immediately called for Xiao Chen. The master and disciple sat opposite each other. Cang Xuan first asked about Xiao Chen's situation, and then asked about it.
"Chen 'er, what do you think of the Sky Sword Peak's current situation?"
He took the initiative to ask Xiao Chen what he thought of the difficulties facing the Heavenly Sword Peak. Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen frowned and asked, "Master, did something happen?"
Cang Xuan keenly sensed that the Heavenly Sword Peak's situation wasn't as optimistic as he thought. Upon hearing Xiao Chen's question, Cang Xuan didn't beat around the bush and nodded with a solemn expression.
"I already know about Wang Qingfeng. He's right. The new Prison Flame Peak Master doesn't intend to let the Heavenly Sword Peak off, and has already taken action …"
Ever since the incident back then was exposed, the previous Prison Flame Peak Master had mysteriously disappeared. However, a peak couldn't be without a leader for a day, and soon, a Prison Flame Peak Master took over the Prison Flame Peak. But this new Prison Flame Peak Master clearly didn't intend to let the Heavenly Sword Peak off. Perhaps there were still some secrets that outsiders didn't know about.
The only thing that could be confirmed was that the new Prison Flame Peak Master had already begun to take action against the Heavenly Sword Peak. Thereafter, from Cang Xuan's explanation, Xiao Chen completely understood the current situation of the Heavenly Sword Peak. The reality was much more dangerous than Xiao Chen had imagined.
Firstly, the Prison Flame Peak Master did not openly take action against the Heavenly Sword Peak. But two months ago, the Prison Flame Peak had joined forces with the Hundred Shadow Peak to send over a thousand disciples to the Heavenly Sword Peak. In the name of raising the overall strength of the Heavenly Sword Peak, these thousand disciples were indeed now under the Heavenly Sword Peak's name.
However, the Sky Sword Peak shouldn't think that it was the Sky Sword Peak that had profited. Because at the same time that these 1,000 disciples were assigned to the Sky Sword Peak, Prison Flame Peak had also sent a Dao King Realm Head Elder to the Sky Sword Peak. There were also several Dao Transformation Realm and Dao Gate Realm elders and deacons.
These people had forcefully entered the Heavenly Sword Peak. It was obvious that the Prison Flame Peak wanted to swallow the Heavenly Sword Peak and let the Prison Flame Peak's people control the Heavenly Sword Peak.
From destruction to annexation, the nature of this was even worse. But the Heavenly Sword Peak couldn't do anything about it.
The entire Heavenly Sword Peak was now completely divided into two factions. One faction was the orthodox Heavenly Sword Peak led by the Cang Xuan trio, while the other faction was the disciples of the other two peaks led by the Prison Flame Peak chief elder.
The two factions fought openly and covertly. Of course, in terms of absolute strength, Cang Xuan's group was much weaker. Fortunately, this was Nine Firmaments Palace and the people from the Prison Flame Peak did not dare to be too brazen.
Even so, the wild ambitions of the Prison Flame Peak had been completely exposed. In fact, the Prison Flame Peak peak master had already contacted the other peaks and proposed to hold a chief disciple competition for the Heavenly Sword Peak in order to completely seize control of the Heavenly Sword Peak.
Once the chief disciple of the Heavenly Sword Peak fell into the hands of the Prison Flame Peak faction, the Heavenly Sword Peak would definitely fall into the hands of the Prison Flame Peak. In this way, the orthodox Heavenly Sword Peak like Cang Xuan would definitely be suppressed. When that happened, the Heavenly Sword Peak would only exist in name and would become a subsidiary of the Prison Flame Peak.
After hearing Cang Xuan's words, a cold light flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. He never imagined that the Prison Flame Peak would be so insidious. They did not leave any way out for the Heavenly Sword Peak and wanted to force the Heavenly Sword Peak into a dead end.
The chief disciple competition required one to be at the Heaven Human stage at the very least. Once the competition began, no one in his faction would be able to put up a fight. Even Qin Heng, the one with the highest cultivation, was only at the perfect Earth Clear stage. How could he compete for the chief disciple position?
They had already lost before the fight. Seeing the ugly expression on Xiao Chen's face, Cang Xuan sighed softly and said.
"Today, the ruler gathered the nine peak lords to discuss this matter. In the end, he decided to give the Heavenly Sword Peak two more years. After two years, the chief disciple competition will begin. This is the ruler of the Continent of the Nine Clouds giving us time."
Cang Xuan had come out of seclusion today because the ruler of the Continent of the Nine Clouds had summoned him. The matter of the Heavenly Sword Peak chief disciple competition had already been decided. The ruler of the Continent of the Nine Clouds stood his ground and gave the Heavenly Sword Peak two years' time. As for whether the Heavenly Sword Peak could win the chief disciple competition after two years, that would depend on themselves. This was what the ruler of the Continent of the Nine Clouds had personally said to Cang Xuan.
Two years' time. After hearing Cang Xuan's words, determination quickly emerged in Xiao Chen's eyes. He was at the perfect Mysterious Yuan stage. Would he be able to break through to the Heaven Human stage in two years? The time was still a little too short. However, there was no way out. He could only fight with his life on the line.
When he saw the change in Xiao Chen's expression, Cang Xuan nodded in gratification. "Chen 'er, I told you this today because I hope that you will be able to win the chief disciple position in two years. You must not let the Prison Flame Peak succeed."
