Under Guan Yiyun's lead, the two of them passed through the entire Black Mountain and arrived at the deepest part of the mountain. Here, there was an ancient palace, and it looked like it had existed for at least a few hundred years.
Along the way, Guan Yiyun told Jiang Chen about the Sect Chief. The Black Sect had existed in the Qi Province for hundreds of years, and it had gone through a few Sect Chief. According to Guan Yiyun, very few people knew the real name of the Sect Chief. Every Sect Chief used the same name, Daoist Black.
Daoist Black was the strongest warrior in the Black Sect. He had reached the peak Divine Core realm, and he was only one step away from the Combat Soul realm. However, there was a huge gap between the Divine Core realm and the Combat Soul realm. Ordinary people would never be able to cross this gap in their entire lives. The Black Sect had existed for a long time, but there had never been a Combat Soul warrior.
This palace was the highest place in the Black Sect. Normally, only Divine Core Sect Elders could enter this place. Even Guan Yiyun couldn't come here without being summoned.
Originally, the Black Sect had core disciples, but the requirements to become a core disciple were very strict. Not only did they have to be at the Divine Core realm, there was also an age limit. Therefore, the number of core disciples in the Black Sect was very small, and most of them had left the sect to train themselves. They rarely came back to the Black Sect, and this was also the reason why the Qi Province competition only consisted of inner circle and outer circle disciples, and no core disciples.
The palace was built halfway up the mountain. Although it only had one floor, it gave off a magnificent and majestic aura, and every corner of the palace was filled with nobility.
On top of the palace, there was a black signboard, and three golden words were written on it – Palace Black. The words were written in bold and powerful calligraphy. Just these few words alone were enough to make anyone want to worship them.
Of course, this kind of worship was only for ordinary people. Not to mention in the small Qi Province, even in the entire Saint Origin realm, there was no one who could make Jiang Chen worship them. He had always been the one being worshiped by others.
"Palace Black is the symbol of the Black Sect, it is the most honorable place. Junior disciple Jiang, when you meet the Sect Chief, don't neglect him."
Guan Yiyun reminded.
"En."
Jiang Chen nodded his head.
"Come in."
While Jiang Chen and Guan Yiyun were talking, a deep voice suddenly sounded from inside the palace. Then, the palace gate opened by itself.
Guan Yiyun tidied up his clothes. With a solemn expression, he walked into Palace Xuan respectfully. As a genius disciple of the Black Sect, Palace Xuan had an irreplaceable position in his heart. It was an honor for him to be able to enter this place.
Compared to Guan Yiyun's nervousness, Jiang Chen was much more relaxed. After all, in terms of experience, Guan Yiyun and Jiang Chen could not be compared at all.
Jiang Chen and Guan Yiyun walked into the main hall. A middle-aged man in a white robe was sitting on a large tiger chair in front of them. He looked to be in his forties, but of course, his real age was definitely more than that.
Even though the man was just sitting there, Jiang Chen could still tell how tall he was. His face was sharp, and he looked majestic. This man was one of the strongest men in the Qi Province, Daoist Black.
This man was different from what Jiang Chen had expected. He thought Daoist Black would be an old man with white hair, but he was actually a handsome middle-aged man.
"Disciple Guan Yiyun greets Sect Chief."
"Disciple Jiang Chen greets Sect Chief."
Guan Yiyun bowed deeply toward Daoist Black, but Jiang Chen just nodded his head.
"En."
Daoist Black smiled. He first glanced at Guan Yiyun, then he looked at Jiang Chen. He couldn't help but carefully examine him. Daoist Black's expression immediately changed. This young man in front of him who looked to be about 15 or 16 years old actually gave him a feeling that he couldn't see through him. With his peak Divine Core cultivation, he could easily see through a junior, but when he looked at Jiang Chen, it was as if he was looking at a bottomless pit.
Jiang Chen had a faint smile on his face. He didn't avoid Daoist Black's gaze, and he didn't show any nervousness. Compared to him, Guan Yiyun was extremely nervous.
Daoist Black nodded his head silently. After that, he turned to Guan Yiyun and said, "Guan Yiyun, you're a rare genius in the Black Sect, are you sure you want to enter Inferno Hell? I don't think I need to tell you how dangerous Inferno Hell is. Even if I were to enter it myself, it would still be risky. "
"That's right, I've made up my mind."
Guan Yiyun said with a serious expression. He had made up his mind to enter Inferno Hell, and since he had made up his mind, he wouldn't change it easily. He wanted to use the dangers of Inferno Hell to train himself, only by doing so would he be able to truly grow.
"Good, I really admire your courage. In the past, there were some genius disciples in the Black Sect who wanted to enter Inferno Hell, but none of them were able to walk out alive. I won't stop you, I just hope you can be the first disciple to walk out of Inferno Hell in the Black Sect."
Daoist Black said with an indifferent tone. The way he looked at Guan Yiyun was filled with admiration.
"Yiyun will definitely live up to your expectations, Sect Chief."
Guan Yiyun cupped his fists. This was a trial with a slim chance of survival.
"Yiyun, you can leave now, I have something to say to Jiang Chen."
Daoist Black said.
"Understood."
Guan Yiyun cupped his fist, then he slowly left Palace Black.
Daoist Black looked at Jiang Chen, nodded his head and said, "Not bad, with just a Mid Mortal Core cultivation base, you were able to kill Li Wu Ling who was an Early Heavenly Core warrior. Although Li Wu Ling's foundation wasn't stable, he wasn't someone anyone could kill easily. If I'm not mistaken, during the Qi Province competition, you were only an Early Mortal Core warrior, right?"
"That's right."
Jiang Chen didn't deny it.
"Jiang Chen, it seems like you're not afraid of me at all."
Daoist Black said with an interested tone.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Why should I be afraid of Sect Chief? I'm a disciple of the Black Sect, of course Sect Chief won't make things difficult for me. What's there to be afraid of?"
Jiang Chen's expression was calm, no signs of nervousness could be seen on his face.
"This guy is calm, he's calm, he doesn't seem to feel uncomfortable in front of me at all. Besides, he has a dignified appearance, and he was born with the aura of a superior warrior. His future achievements are limitless. A genius like this is the hope of the Black Sect. His talent is no weaker than the Northern and Southern Dynasties of the Burning Sky Pavilion."
Daoist Black was shocked. He had a very high opinion of Jiang Chen. He had never seen a junior at the Mortal Core realm with such a temperament. Jiang Chen's behavior didn't match his age at all. He was like an old monster who had lived for more than a thousand years, calm and collected.
Daoist Black was the Black Sect's Sect Chief. Everyone in the Black Sect, from the disciples to the Sect Elders, would show him respect. Even those Divine Core Sect Elders would feel nervous in front of him. But what he saw from Jiang Chen was just calmness.
"Alright, Jiang Chen, I really admire you, that's why I decided to meet you in person. I heard that you've made a deal with the Northern and Southern Dynasties in one year, are you confident? The Northern and Southern Dynasties are all peerless geniuses from the Qi Province, and they are all at the peak of the Heavenly Core realm, and they can break through to the Divine Core realm at any time. Although you have extraordinary talent, your cultivation level is still too low, you're only at the Mid Mortal Core realm. How are you going to deal with them in one year? "
Daoist Black asked. He was really interested in the one year deal between Jiang Chen and the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Jiang Chen was now a disciple of the Black Sect, and the fight between him and the Northern and Southern Dynasties was related to the Black Sect's honor.
Daoist Black wasn't worried about whether or not Jiang Chen truly wanted to join the Black Sect. There were only four big sects in the Qi Province, and putting aside the Valley of Happiness, Jiang Chen had already offended the Burning Sky Pavilion and Tianjian Gate. The Black Sect was his only home.
"I have my own ways. One year is more than enough."
Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders with a confident expression.
"Alright, just focus on your cultivation. The Black Sect doesn't lack resources, but a lot of resources are obtained through competition. Even a genius can only improve through constant competition."
Daoist Black said.
"I understand."
Jiang Chen nodded his head.
"Alright, Jiang Chen, you can go now. I'll give you a special privilege. In the future, Palace Black will be open to you, and if you encounter any problems in your cultivation, you can come find me directly."
Daoist Black said. A promise like this was definitely a first in the Black Sect. Palace Black had never opened its doors to an outer circle disciple, and the Sect Chief would personally guide them in their cultivation. This kind of treatment was something that countless disciples could only dream of. Daoist Black said.
If the other disciples of the Black Sect knew about this, they would definitely go crazy with jealousy.
But too bad, Jiang Chen just laughed it off. The once greatest Saint underneath the heavens needed guidance from a tiny Divine Core warrior? Was this a joke?
To put it bluntly, just a few words of guidance from Jiang Chen would benefit Daoist Black a lot, and even help him break through to the Combat Soul realm in a short period of time. For Jiang Chen, it was just a piece of cake.
Of course, Jiang Chen wouldn't give Daoist Black any guidance. His reincarnation was his biggest secret, and he didn't want to bring himself any trouble. Besides, would Daoist Black listen to a Mortal Core disciple giving guidance to a Divine Core Sect Chief?
Jiang Chen cupped his fist toward Daoist Black, then he turned around and left Palace Black. Looking at Jiang Chen's back as he left, Daoist Black squinted his eyes and said with an indifferent tone, "I hope you won't disappoint me."
Outside Palace Black, Guan Yiyun hadn't left yet. When he saw Jiang Chen, he immediately walked up to him.
"Junior disciple Jiang, what good news does Sect Chief have for you?"
Guan Yiyun asked. With his status in the Black Sect, perhaps only Jiang Chen could speak so politely to an outer circle disciple.
"Do I look like I've gotten something good from him?"
Jiang Chen spread his hands and changed the topic, "Senior disciple Guan, have you really decided to go to Inferno Hell tomorrow?"
"That's right, I've made up my mind. I'll either succeed or die trying, I'll go to Inferno Hell and give it my all."
Guan Yiyun said with a serious expression.
"Be careful."
Jiang Chen reminded. He had a good impression of Guan Yiyun, and he didn't want anything bad to happen to Guan Yiyun.
"Alright, I'll go back and prepare. Junior disciple Jiang, you have your own wings, just fly back."
