The Middle Ground
In the first stage, two of the nine empires were destroyed. Only the disciples of the seven empires were left, and some of them were not from the nine empires.
After the destruction of the younger generation of the two empires, the situation calmed down.
Almost all the conflicts between the empires were reduced.
All the forces wandered between the stone mountains, trying their best to kill the demonic beasts and steal the stone keys …
Until the next morning, the stone mountains on the plains were cleared. Many giant demonic beast corpses lay on the ground. As the cold wind blew, it emitted a bloody smell.
Of course, the demonic beasts were not the only ones that died. There were also disciples of the various empires, and there were even Late Divine Transformation Realm cultivators among them.
There were three demonic beasts in the stone mountains on the plains that were comparable to Late Divine Transformation Realm cultivators. After they appeared, they killed many disciples of the empires.
One of them was killed by Marquis Feng Shou within ten moves with his folding fan. He obtained thirty stone keys, a seventh grade king ranked martial art, and a jade slip of the Luan Yun Fist.
If someone who practiced fist techniques obtained this jade slip, it would be a great opportunity. However, for Marquis Feng Shou and Jian Shisan, it was useless.
On the other side, Long Chen relied on his memory to kill one of the three demonic beasts and obtained the most stone keys. Just one demonic beast alone gave him fifty stone keys!
Not only that, this demonic beast also gave him many talismans and jade slips with inscriptions …
Therefore, Long Chen gradually attracted the attention of the Hundred Smelting Sect.
Originally, with Long Chen's sword cultivation, the Wanjian Sect was the most suitable for him. However, they gradually found that Long Chen obtained many items from the Hundred Smelting Sect after entering the Immortal Path. It seemed that he wanted to join the Hundred Smelting Sect.
Moreover, after what happened at Yu Feng, Long Chen would not choose the Wanjian Sect no matter what.
"In the second stage, find a chance to test him. See if he has talent in weapon refining, alchemy, or talismans. If he has talent, then he may be useless to the Wanjian Sect, but he is a very suitable disciple for our Hundred Smelting Sect!"
The words of the Hundred Smelting Sect elder in the sky made the Wanjian Sect elder frown. He coldly snorted, "Only your Hundred Smelting Sect doesn't care about people with limited prospects. That's why you are the last of the five sects."
The other Sect Elders couldn't help but shake their heads when they heard these words. They seemed to share the same sentiments.
On the contrary, the Hundred Smelting Sect elder sneered, "Yu Feng's sword cultivation is above average. He can't be compared to Jian Shisan of the Black Dragon empire. However, you saved his life in this critical moment.. Isn't it because he is of the royal family's of the Great Yu's …"
"Since when did your Myriad Sword Sect have to give face to Qingyun Zi?"
The Hundred Smelting Clan's Elder's ridicule was self-evident. In fact, everyone was well aware of it, but they didn't expose it.
Although Qingyun Qing's cultivation was average, his followers were all over the five sects. In particular, some of them were the core geniuses of the five sects. Therefore, the five sects had to give him some face.
The Wanjian Sect elder's action of saving Yu Feng was self-evident. If only based on talent, Jian Shisan should be the first one to be given the Immortal Badge of Ascension.
The Wanjian Sect elder snorted coldly and didn't say anything else. It seemed that he had tacitly agreed.
On the other side, the first stage of the Immortal Path had finally come to an end after the three strongest demonic beasts were killed.
After a short rest, everyone set off again.
In the second stage of the Immortal Path, Long Chen led the remaining Black Dragon empire disciples forward. In front of them was still an endless plain. However, there were no stone mountains. Instead, there were five huge stone gates that blocked everyone's way.
Long Chen knew that most people would be eliminated in the second stage.
Because this stage tested whether a person had a certain talent, such as sword skills, saber skills, fist skills, alchemy, bloodline, and so on.
Only when one's talent met the requirements could they enter the stone gates. Once they entered the stone gates, they would enter the last stage of the Immortal Path. At that time, as long as they had enough stone keys, they would be able to enter the five sects.
As they gradually approached the stone gates, two groups of people behind Long Chen were eyeing them covetously.
These two groups of people didn't have many stone keys. Secondly, the resources they obtained in the first stage were extremely limited. The chances of them breaking through the second stage were very small.
They had no choice but to think of his team to attack …
In the Black Dragon empire, Long Chen's team was naturally the first choice. Because if they defeated Long Chen, not only would they obtain a large number of stone keys, but they would also obtain many resources to display their talent.
They could even obtain three places to enter the Godly Saber Sect or the Tongbi Sect.
This kind of temptation was really irresistible to the various sects.
Although Long Chen's battle strength was astonishing, the disciples of the Black Dragon empire behind him were the weakest among the disciples of the various sects.
Although the two groups of people followed closely behind, they were extremely cautious and didn't attack immediately. They were very afraid of Long Chen. After all, the scene of him defeating Yu Feng was still vivid in their minds.
"If they attack first, I can help you. But I hope you don't kill them as much as possible … If they weren't forced by the situation, I don't think they would attack you." Ao Cangqiong frowned.
Long Chen looked deeply at the two groups of people behind him who were hesitating. Then, he stared at the five stone gates in front of him. Suddenly, a bold idea appeared in his mind.
Staring behind him, he said indifferently, "Maybe I can give them a chance to not attack. If they are unwilling and still attack, then life and death will be up to fate."
Long Chen walked forward, towards the direction of the Hundred Smelting Sect's stone gates. He walked to the top of a huge pill cauldron symbol on the ground.
Then, the air in front of him flashed and inscriptions appeared out of thin air. Then, a pill cauldron that could be hugged by two people appeared in front of everyone.
At the same time, the elders of the Hundred Smelting Sect in the sky all looked at Long Chen attentively.
Long Chen's mind moved, and the flame under the giant cauldron flickered and shot out.
"He wants to try to refine pills, but he has collected a lot of Weapon Melting Stones …" The elders of the Hundred Smelting Sect were quite puzzled.
But soon, they discovered a shocking fact.
That was, Long Chen's fire controlling technique had actually reached a level that left people flabbergasted!
Then, he even threw the elixirs that he had obtained from the secret cave into the cauldron. It was as if everything was natural and skillful.
These few short movements actually revealed an extremely strange sense of beauty.
In just a moment, the two groups of people behind him gradually could not sit still. If Long Chen was recognized by the Hundred Smelting Sect and was the first to pass through the five stone gates, then they would have no chance.
But when they gritted their teeth and rushed towards Long Chen, Long Chen retreated from the side of his face where he had just been. He looked at the crowd and said, "Even if you don't have the resources, I can still let you test your talent, but it is limited to the Hundred Smelting Sect."
