"What do you think?" the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor asked as he looked at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen remained silent. This was somewhat different from what he had expected.
Xiao Chen had come here to ask the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor some questions about the Martial Dao. Who could have imagined that the other party would recommend him to join a super faction?
Naturally, superpowers were extremely tempting to Xiao Chen.
The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor's words opened a door to a new world for Xiao Chen. Previously, he had not expected such a strong super faction to exist in the world.
Seeing that Xiao Chen did not say anything, the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor continued, "As long as you enter a super faction, you will be able to experience the true charm of the Martial Epoch. Everything you've experienced before is just child's play in front of a true powerhouse. If you can't join a superpower, you'll never be able to come into contact with the core stage of this world. It'll be a pity for a genius like you. "
"If you had not been chased out of the Divine Dragon Empire, you would have entered Bushin Palace through Ancestor Dragon City. However, now, aside from the Heavenly Alliance, the other super factions should not accept you."
The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor's words dispelled Xiao Chen's final hesitation. He said seriously, "I'm willing."
When the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor saw Xiao Chen agree, he revealed a smile and put down his wine cup. "Good. You will be my disciple seven days from now and head to Desolate City with me."
"Desolate City?"
"Hmm, you probably don't know that the force behind Desolate City is the Heaven Alliance, right? At that time, many Rank 6 or even Rank 7 factions in the Desolate Sea will send their disciples to participate in the test. There will also be many loose cultivators who will not miss out on this opportunity. "
The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor said softly, surprising Xiao Chen again. It turned out that the Heavenly Alliance was behind Desolate City.
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. No wonder the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor said that he might not be able to pass the test.
Just the Desolate Sea alone had so many challenges. The Central Great Realm's eastern, western, northern, and southern regions, as well as the three dynasties, would definitely have gathering spots like Desolate City to attract cultivators to take the test.
"Not everyone can participate in the assessment, right?"
There had to be a threshold for the assessment. Otherwise, the number of participants would be unimaginable.
The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor nodded and said, "Anyone under five hundred years old and a Sovereign Personage can participate in the Heavenly Alliance's test. Even if you do not pass the test, as long as you have a certain level of performance, you will receive rewards from the Heavenly Alliance. At that time, there will probably be hundreds of thousands of cultivators taking the test. "
"A few hundred thousand?"
When Xiao Chen heard this, he was shocked. This number really shocked him. It was a little too much.
The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor asked with a calm expression, "Are you very shocked? Actually, there was nothing to be surprised about. Of the eight super factions, the Heavenly Alliance was considered one of the weakest. However, the Desolate Sea's influence covered the entire Great Thousand Realms. There was a Desolate Sea stronghold in every astral cluster. Just like the Grave Sea Cluster that you once stayed in, the Profound Light Temple is the base of the Hidden Spirit Temple, a super faction. The Purple Flame Sect is the territory of the Tianwu Dynasty's Universe Origin Sect. "
"There are a total of three thousand high-ranked astral domains like the Grave Sea Cluster in the Great Thousand Realms. This does not include some of the more chaotic astral domains. If you include them, there will be even more. Do you still think a few hundred thousand is a lot? "
"Not a lot. However, the threshold seems somewhat low. All Sovereign Personages under five hundred years old can take the test?"
The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor said, "In the Martial Epoch, normally speaking, those who can break through to Sovereign Personage after five hundred years old will not be able to advance to Divine Vein Realm Sovereign Emperor. Those who advance to Sovereign Personage before five hundred years old have the possibility of becoming Divine Vein Realm Sovereign Emperors. As long as one has the potential to become a Sovereign Emperor, the Heavenly Alliance will not let them off. The core force of the various super factions are the Sovereign Emperors. One Sovereign Emperor is worth more than one hundred thousand Sovereign Personages! "
Divine Vein Realm Sovereign Emperor! Another Divine Vein Realm Sovereign Emperor!
Xiao Chen clenched his right fist tightly, and his blood surged somewhat. He recalled what the Third Palace Master said, which coincided with the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor's.
As long as Xiao Chen became a Sovereign Emperor, even the Purple Gold Dragon Emperor in the Divine Dragon Empire would not be able to pursue the matter. Ancestor Dragon City would even personally apologize to him.
"Furthermore, there has never been a lack of outstanding talents in the Great Thousand Realms. However, facts have proven that those who can become Divine Vein Realm Sovereign Emperors are mostly unknown existences. Many people only advanced to Sovereign Personage at two hundred, three hundred, or even four hundred years old. They continuously stabilized themselves, comprehended the Great Dao of the world, and tempered their mental state. In the end, they easily advanced to Sovereign Emperor. Many powerful outstanding talents who advanced to Sovereign Personage before one hundred years old either incurred the jealousy of others or died prematurely. Otherwise, they were too conceited and became a burden on themselves. If their mental state was not strong enough, they would never be able to advance. "
The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor looked at Xiao Chen sternly. "Hence, do not underestimate those late bloomers, able to maintain their composure in the Sovereign Personage Realm. I said that you might not be able to pass the test this time because if you run into those people who have been Sovereign Personages for more than one hundred years, you might not be a match for them. "
Xiao Chen nodded to indicate his understanding. However, he felt somewhat doubtful. Finding it strange, he asked, "Does that mean that the super factions do not pay attention to outstanding talents? After all, most of those who become Sovereign Emperors are unknown existences?"
The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor could not help laughing. "You can put it that way. However, if you can show that you have the potential to become a Sovereign Emperor, the effect will be different. This is because only the outstanding talents with astonishing talent and comprehension ability can advance to Faux God after advancing to Sovereign Emperor.
"This is something far away from you for now. Just treat what I said as an eye-opener. Don't overthink it. Make your preparations. Come with me to Desolate City seven days from now. Remember to adjust your mental state. "
"Alright."
After leaving the pavilion, Xiao Chen looked at the blazing sun in the sky. This conversation nearly toppled Xiao Chen's entire worldview.
The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor said not to overthink, but Xiao Chen still felt his hot-bloodedness surge, feeling excited.
"Xiao Chen, how is it?"
Old Cui asked softly as he arrived beside Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen recovered his wits and replied softly, "I already promised the City Lord that I would be his follower and participate in the Heavenly Alliance's test seven days from now."
Old Cui smiled and said, "I knew that you would agree. Come, I'll bring you to the residence."
There were many residences prepared for guests in Peach Blossom City, comparable to the residence of a sect.
After Xiao Chen checked in, he started meditating and adjusting his mental state.
The night passed. When the morning sun rose again, Xiao Chen felt much calmer. He was no longer as excited and excited as before. Absolute calmness replaced it.
Xiao Chen started to think about how to raise his strength to ensure that he could pass the Heavenly Alliance's test.
He had already merged the first three moves of the Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique, Resolving the Mundane, and Entering Hell. He needed to bring forward the next three moves, In the Mortal Realm, Three Life Flower, and Merciless Killing.
The Heavenly Snow Divine Flame and the Universe Origin True Flame had just advanced to Rank 5. He would not be able to find enough flame shards to nurture them in a short time.
Xiao Chen wanted to see if he could use the Heavenly Alliance to exchange for similar flame resources when he entered the Heavenly Alliance.
He had already cultivated the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation to the tenth layer. The next two layers were progressively more difficult than the one before. For now, he could not see any hope of breaking through.
He had already cultivated the Demonic Cloud Heaven Swallowing Art to the second layer. Unfortunately, he did not have much room to execute it.
He had just gotten familiar with the state of cycle and needed to continue familiarizing himself with it. This was Xiao Chen's greatest trump card, so he could not relax.
After thinking about it, the only things that could raise his strength in the short term were the Ten Thousand Dragons Art and the Ten Thousand Dragons Picture in his mind.
Ever since he copied the Ten Thousand Dragons Picture, Xiao Chen had not truly studied it. However, the Ten Thousand Dragons Picture had strengthened the might of the Supreme Dragon Fist significantly.
"Brother Xiao, are you free? The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor's disciples, Yun Fei and Lei Hao, are here to seek an audience."
Just at this moment, two voices requesting an audience came from outside the door.
Since they were the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor's disciples, Xiao Chen had to meet them. It was possible that these two people would head to Desolate City with him.
Xiao Chen's figure flashed, and he opened the door to receive the guests.
There were two people standing outside the door. One of them had an ordinary appearance and was dressed in white, looking very simple. The other person was tall and stocky. He did not show any expression, but he gave off a strong sense of pressure.
The plain-looking white-clad youth performed a cupped-fist salute and said, "I am Yun Fei. This is Lei Hao. Master sent us over to familiarize ourselves with Brother Xiao."
"This way, please!"
Indeed, as they chatted, Xiao Chen learned that these two would be heading to Desolate City with Xiao Chen to participate in the test.
Aside from them, dozens of the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor's disciples would be going as well.
However, most of these people were just there to make up the numbers, to see the experts outside. The chances of them passing the test were not high.
The ones that the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor truly held hope in were Yun Fei and Lei Hao. Of course, there was now the addition of Xiao Chen.
