He had finally made a breakthrough. There was a smile on his face. There were still a few days before the final sprint. As long as he could break through the Clear Shadow Steps and the Golden Killing Sword Technique to the Perfection of Martial Arts, his seclusion would be considered a success.
Just as Xiao Chen was about to make his final sprint, the Eastern Sword Pavilion outer sect also began the competition for the spots to enter the Hundred Spirits Graveyard.
It was a challenge tournament. There were a total of ten arenas and the top ten outer sect elite disciples would act as the ringmasters. Any outer sect disciple would have a chance to challenge them. As long as they won, they would become the new ringmaster. The competition would last for five days. After five days, those who remained in the ten arenas would be the elite disciples who would be following Xiao Chen to the Hundred Spirits Graveyard.
As a hidden dragon, Xiao Chen naturally did not need to participate. To put it bluntly, the ten elite disciples were entering the Hundred Spirits Graveyard to search for opportunities that belonged to them. On the other hand, they were helping Xiao Chen. After all, the competition between the five hidden dragons was extremely fierce in the Hundred Spirits Graveyard.
Because of the appearance of the five hidden dragons, the Hundred Spirits Graveyard had changed. There was no doubt that the Hundred Spirits Graveyard was the stage for the five hidden dragons. As for the others, they could only pick up the scraps.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye. The final ten spots were not unexpected. Veteran outer sect elite disciples such as Wang Hu, Zhao Kuo and Cheng Hai all received a spot.
After the spots were confirmed, Cang Xuan announced that they would depart for the Hundred Spirits Graveyard in three days.
It was the last three days. On the last day before the departure date, Xiao Chen finally came out of seclusion. After close to half a year of seclusion, Xiao Chen's progress was undoubtedly huge.
His cultivation had completely stabilized at the Yellow Realm's Completion. His sword aura had also broken through to the Small Completion. Moreover, his two Lower Profound Level martial arts techniques, the Clear Shadow Steps and the Golden Killing Sword Technique, had also been practiced to the Perfection of Martial Arts.
His overall strength had been greatly improved. Although Xiao Chen was still at the Yellow Realm, if he were to encounter a warrior at the beginning of the Mysterious Yuan Realm like the Poisonous Dragon Prince, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Xiao Chen would be able to kill him within three moves.
After slowly walking out of the Burial Sword Valley, Xiao Chen bowed to the two core elders before walking towards the Dustless Residence.
After cultivating bitterly for close to half a year, Xiao Chen slept comfortably that night. Early the next morning, Xiao Chen bid farewell to Qingyao and Qingluo and went to the outer court's main plaza.
Today was the day they set off for the Hundred Spirits Graveyard. All the outer disciples were gathered in the main square of the Outer Sect. As soon as they saw Xiao Chen, they greeted respectfully. "Greetings, Senior Brother Xiao …"
Everyone took the initiative to open up a path for Xiao Chen. He stepped onto the high platform in front of the main square and looked down at Wang Hu and the other eight people in front of him. These ten people were the ones who were going to enter the Hundred Spirits Graveyard with him.
Wang Hu's gaze swept across the ten people in succession. Facing Xiao Chen's gaze, Wang Hu unconsciously lowered his head.
Originally, he still hated Xiao Chen, but now, Wang Hu had completely discarded this thought. Xiao Chen was a hidden dragon, while he was just an outer elite disciple with some talent. His previous jealousy had completely disappeared.
That's how people are. When you're just a little bit stronger than them, they'll be jealous of you and even hate you. However, when you surpass them by too much and reach a point where they can only look up to you, they won't be jealous of you anymore.
Without paying attention to Wang Hu, Xiao Chen retracted his gaze and stood calmly on the spot, waiting for the arrival of Cang Xuan and the others.
Without waiting for long, Cang Xuan and a group of outer elders appeared. They nodded at Xiao Chen with a benevolent expression. Then, Cang Xuan looked at Wang Hu and the other eight people and said.
"The Hundred Spirits Graveyard is a great opportunity that belongs to all of you. Once you enter, you must seize any opportunity. However, before that, I need to remind all of you that the competition for the Hundred Spirits Graveyard has changed because of the appearance of the Five Hidden Dragons."
"In the past, when the Hundred Spirits Graveyard opened, everyone could compete for their own opportunity. However, it is different this time. Any one of the Five Hidden Dragons has the ability to kill all of you in seconds. Therefore, when you enter the Hundred Spirits Graveyard, you must listen to Xiao Chen's command. You must understand that you must never treat the Five Hidden Dragons as warriors of the Yellow Realm. You don't even have the ability to fight back against them. Don't lose your life before you get the opportunity.
The appearance of the Five Hidden Dragons had completely changed the situation of the younger generation in the Dongyang Region. It was also because of this that the competition for the Hundred Spirits Graveyard was different from the past.
Think about it. Originally, it was a group of sheep competing, but suddenly, there were five wild dragons among the sheep. What would the result be? It was very simple. All the sheep would be slaughtered wantonly, and in the end, only the five wild dragons would be left to compete.
This was the current situation. Ordinary outer disciples were like sheep in front of the Five Hidden Dragons. Originally, anyone could fight for this opportunity, but because of the existence of the Five Hidden Dragons, it became impossible. In front of the Five Hidden Dragons, outer disciples were no different from chickens and pottery dogs, unable to withstand a single blow.
Cang Xuan's words were unpleasant, but it was the truth. No one refuted it. Everyone could clearly see that the Hundred Spirits Graveyard this time was different from the past.
After giving instructions to everyone, Cang Xuan handed a leather map to Xiao Chen and said softly, "This is the map of the Hundred Spirits Graveyard.
"This is the map of the Hundred Spirits Graveyard. However, it only shows the outer regions. As no one has been able to enter the core region, there is no information about it. If you follow the directions on the map in the outer regions, you will not encounter too much danger. However, once you enter the core region, you can only rely on yourself."
The Hundred Spirits Graveyard had been opened many times. Through the efforts of generations of the Five Great Leaders, the situation in the outer area of the Hundred Spirits Graveyard was basically grasped. Of course, this was only limited to the outer area. If you entered the core area, you could only move forward by yourself.
After keeping the map, Cang Xuan ordered everyone to step on the Green-feathered Eagle. Accompanied by the eagle's cry, a group of people soared into the sky and quickly disappeared into the horizon.
With Cang Xuan leading the group, there were two Core Elders and ten Ordinary Elders. In addition, there were 11 disciples including Xiao Chen.
Looking at the back of the Green-feathered Eagle, many of the outer disciples in the main square were filled with anticipation. They all knew that the final collision of the Five Hidden Dragons in the Yellow Realm was coming. This time, who would be the final winner?
It was impossible to judge at the moment, but one thing was certain. It would definitely be a fierce battle.
