Only two years was a very short time, but Cang Xuan had no choice. He could only place his hopes on Xiao Chen.
Although Qin Heng and the other core disciples already had the cultivation of the Earth Mirror realm and would definitely break through to the Heaven Realm within two years, it was still far from enough. Their battle strength was still lacking. Therefore, in the entire Sky Sword Peak, only Xiao Chen had the hope of stopping the Prison Flame Peak.
Of course, all of this was based on the premise that Xiao Chen could break through to the Heaven Realm within two years. Without the cultivation of the Heaven Realm, all of this was just empty talk.
From Cang Xuan's words, Xiao Chen could feel a touch of seriousness and helplessness. There was indeed no other way. All of the pressure could only be placed on Xiao Chen's shoulders. Only Xiao Chen could bear this pressure.
He nodded solemnly. To break through to the Heaven Realm within two years was definitely impossible for ordinary people. However, Xiao Chen had the disposition of a proud king. Two years should be enough.
Cang Xuan truthfully told Xiao Chen the situation of the Sky Sword Peak. At the same time, he also said that Xiao Chen could freely use all of the cultivation resources of the Sky Sword Peak during these two years. As long as Xiao Chen could quickly raise his cultivation base, everything would be worth it.
A disciple could use all of the cultivation resources of the Sky Sword Peak. How much power was this? At the same time, it also meant that the Sky Sword Peak was really betting everything on Xiao Chen. If Xiao Chen won, the Sky Sword Peak would definitely rise. If Xiao Chen lost, the Sky Sword Peak would be consigned to eternal damnation.
After chatting with Cang Xuan for more than four hours, Xiao Chen returned to the Dustless Residence. Since he could use all of the cultivation resources of the Sky Sword Peak, Xiao Chen also planned to go to the Sky Sword Hall to take a look.
The Sky Sword Hall was the place where the Sky Sword Peak stored all kinds of treasured swords. Xiao Chen naturally went there for the Heavenly Sword Embryo. He would choose a batch of suitable treasured swords to feed the Heavenly Sword Embryo so that it could grow faster.
After a silent night, early the next morning, Xiao Chen practiced the Nine Heavens Sword Finger once. In just ten days, Xiao Chen had already mastered the first finger of the Nine Heavens Sword Finger.
Just as he was about to leave for the Heavenly Sword Hall, the Main Elder of the Prison Flame Peak came to visit him personally.
His name was Zhao Lu, and his cultivation was at the Initial Dao King stage. He was once the chief elder of the Prison Flame Peak, but he was now the chief elder of the Sky Sword Peak. He was on par with the Cang Xuan trio, and had formed his own faction in the Sky Sword Peak. He was eyeing the position of peak master of the Sky Sword Peak covetously.
He never had any contact with Zhao Lu, but he took the initiative to visit today. After pondering for a moment, Xiao Chen still asked Qing Luo to bring him to the main hall.
In the main hall, Xiao Chen finally saw the new Sky Sword Peak Master Elder. He was middle-aged and had an ordinary appearance. However, his eyes were extremely sharp.
Anyone who could become a Dao King stage expert naturally couldn't be a simple person. He sized up Zhao Lu, and at the same time, Zhao Lu was also sizing up Xiao Chen, the famous King of Prides.
Due to the incident in the City of the Medicine King, the news that Xiao Chen was still alive had already spread throughout the Central Earth Divine Region. Moreover, Xiao Chen was now ranked among the top ten King of Prides again. Moreover, the latest edition of the Heaven's Pride Ranking had already published Xiao Chen's life in detail. Through the Heaven's Pride Ranking, the world could clearly and directly understand the growth process of this King of Prides.
This was a change in the outside world. Of course, Xiao Chen wasn't the slightest bit interested in this. These were all false reputations.
The two exchanged glances. In the end, Zhao Lu was the first to speak. Zhao Lu laughed heartily and said enthusiastically, "Haha, you're indeed a talent. As expected of a disciple of my Sky Sword Peak. With such a disciple in my Sky Sword Peak, why should I worry about not soaring into the sky?"
He didn't show any hostility. On the contrary, he was very enthusiastic. Hearing Zhao Lu's words, Xiao Chen replied calmly, "Head elder, may I know why you've come today?"
"Nothing much. I just heard that you've returned safely, so I've come to take a look," replied Zhao Lu.
"Oh, since that's the case, I have other matters to attend to. Please excuse me." Zhao Lu had only come to visit him. Who would believe that? However, since he didn't say anything, Xiao Chen naturally wouldn't ask. After all, nothing good comes out of a dog's mouth. He immediately turned around and prepared to leave.
He didn't show any mercy. Seeing this, a cold light flashed through Zhao Lu's eyes. However, it was only a flash. Then, he withdrew his smile and said indifferently, "Xiao Chen, don't be in such a hurry. I've indeed come to find you today for a matter."
"Your talent is rare in this world. The Prison Flame Peak Lord thinks highly of you. Today, I've come to tell you that as long as you agree to join the Prison Flame Peak, the Peak Lord will definitely not treat you unfairly. In the future, you will definitely soar to the sky. How about it?"
Without further ado, Zhao Lu directly stated his purpose. It was obvious that he had come today to rope in Xiao Chen.
As one of the Ten Prides of the Heavenly Chen Continent, Xiao Chen's talent was unquestionable. Even the Prison Flame Peak Lord was fond of him. However, towards the Prison Flame Peak's attempt to rope him in, Xiao Chen coldly smiled.
"Then I'll thank the Prison Flame Peak Lord. However, it's a pity that I haven't had much luck since I was young. I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint the Prison Flame Peak."
Without the slightest hesitation, he directly rejected the offer. Hearing this, Zhao Lu unhurriedly said, "Xiao Chen, you better think this through. You won't have a good ending if you stay in the Sky Sword Peak. It's not enough for a person to just have talent. You must have enough cultivation resources as support. You should be a smart person and know what I mean. There's no need to ruin yourself for the sake of the Sky Sword Peak."
There wasn't much anger in his voice. However, the threat in his words was self-evident.
Threatening Xiao Chen. Hearing this, Xiao Chen suddenly burst into laughter. "Haha, from what you've said, the Prison Flame Peak has already eaten up my Sky Sword Peak? Originally, the various grudges between the Prison Flame Peak and the Sky Sword Peak had nothing to do with me. This time, if the Prison Flame Peak could calmly accept the return of the Sky Sword Peak, I definitely wouldn't find trouble with the Prison Flame Peak. However, it's a pity that the Prison Flame Peak doesn't leave us any way out. Since that's the case, don't blame me. As for my future, there's no need for Lord Elder to worry about it.
After speaking, Xiao Chen directly turned around and left. The moment Xiao Chen stepped out of the main hall, Zhao Lu coldly said, "Alright, since that's the case, then hand over Wang Qingfeng. He's a disciple of the Prison Flame Peak."
Xiao Chen was determined not to join the Prison Flame Peak. This was something that Zhao Lu already understood. Since that was the case, he would return Wang Qingfeng. After all, Wang Qingfeng was a disciple of the Prison Flame Peak. Now that he had been captured by Xiao Chen, if the Prison Flame Peak didn't give an explanation, it would obviously be an extremely humiliating matter. Therefore, Zhao Lu had two tasks today. One was to rope in Xiao Chen, but unfortunately, he failed. As for the other, it was to ask for Wang Qingfeng.
