Xiao Chen said calmly, "Aside from a cultivator's talent and aptitude, if a cultivator wants to succeed, they need fortuitous encounters and Luck. Perhaps in another two years, a fortuitous encounter will help all of you."
Yun Kexin shook her head and said, "I feel that everything you said is secondary. How far a cultivator can go depends on the cultivator's character in the end."
The group chatted about some other topics. Not long after, the First Elder, Jiang Chi, brought the Second Elder and the Third Elder over.
Jiang Chi got right to the point. "The Five Nation Youth Competition will be held in the Great Jin Nation's Dragon Sealing Mountain Range. It is too far from the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. We have to depart early. If there are any matters, I can give you an hour to prepare. We will depart immediately after one hour."
Xiao Chen and the others shook their heads to indicate that there was no need to prepare. Jiang Chi nodded and said, "Let's depart now, then!"
The group followed Jiang Chi out. At some point in time, a crystalline jade ship had stopped in the empty space in front of the hall.
Liu Suifeng was somewhat astonished. He said, "This is Martial Grand Aunt Shen's personal Golden Jade Glazed Ship. It is a high-ranked Superior Grade Secret Treasure. Is Martial Grand Aunt Shen going with us?"
Jiang Chi nodded with a complicated expression. He said, "Yes. All the sects in the world have to go to the Dragon Sealing Mountain Range. We cannot tarnish the reputation of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. Furthermore, some things are not as simple as you think. We have to show off our strength."
On the bow of the ship, the noble Shen Manjun smiled faintly and said, "Jiang Chi, there is no need to tell the juniors about these things. Come on up."
--- On a mountain peak in the Misty Sword Sect in the Great Qin Nation, Chu Chaoyun had a deep gaze as he looked at the churning clouds in front. It was unknown what he was thinking.
The Misty Sword Sect's Sect Master, who was behind him, said sullenly, "Chaoyun, although the Misty Sword Sect has nine people qualified to register this time, aside from you, none of them can clear the first stage."
Chu Chaoyun turned around and smiled faintly. "Sect Master, rest assured. Be it for myself or for the Misty Sword Sect's help, I will do my best in the Five Nation Youth Competition."
Upon hearing this, the Misty Sword Sect's Sect Master felt slightly more at ease. Chu Chaoyun's origins were mysterious. Even the Misty Sword Sect's Sect Master could not completely figure out his strength. If Chu Chaoyun was willing to use his true strength, he would definitely be able to enter the top twenty.
The Luck that the Misty Sword Sect obtained was sufficient to allow the Misty Sword Sect to stand firm in this great age.
"Alright then, I won't say anything unnecessary. We'll depart tomorrow. You should prepare for today."
In the southern Boundless Sea, the South Sea's Four Prodigies gathered before a table. Their faces were filled with excitement, all of them looking eager to try.
"It's finally time to go. I've wanted to meet the geniuses of Dajin for a long time. I want to see if the eight big families and ten major factions are as powerful as the legends say."
"Don't be too confident, Third Brother. Although the density of the Spiritual Qi in the Endless Ocean isn't lower than that of Dajin, our heritage is still inferior to that of Dajin. Don't take it lightly."
"Big Brother is right. However, us four brothers are not bad either. Since we were able to make a name for ourselves in the Endless Ocean, we will definitely do well in the continent."
The leader of the Southern Sea's Four Prodigies picked up his wine cup and said ferociously, "That's right. It is fine if we do not go out. However, when we go out, we must make a name for ourselves as the Southern Sea's Four Prodigies. Come, let's toast to us four brothers. Let's hope that we can all make it into the top fifty! "
"That's a must. Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
"Bang!"
The four clinked their cups and drained them in one go. Then, they smashed their wine cups and laughed loudly. Then, they headed for the warship that had already stopped.
In the Eastern Boundless Sea, in the forbidden land of the Divine Dragon Palace, four Martial Monarch elders looked anxiously at the spatial crack in the barrier.
The hope of the Divine Dragon Palace, the Eastern Sea's Little Dragon King Xuanyuan Zhantian, had already been in the Deep Abyss Demonic World for more than two months.
Now, three days had passed since the appointed time. However, the Eastern Sea's Little Dragon King Xuanyuan Zhantian had not come out yet.
Given Xuanyuan Zhantian's memory, he would definitely not forget the appointed time. Unless … unless there was only one possibility: he died!
The four Martial Monarch elders all had unsightly expressions. Xuanyuan Zhantian was the Divine Dragon Palace, no, the entire Boundless Sea.
He was a rare genius cultivator in the past few thousand years. He would definitely become a Martial Sage in the future.
The Divine Dragon Palace had spent countless resources on him. If such a person died, the Divine Dragon Palace would not be able to bear the consequences.
"Your Majesty, we have already waited for three days and three nights. Let's choose someone else. The Divine Dragon Palace needs someone to lead the team," one of the elders could not help but say.
The Dragon King's sharp eyes appeared very calm. He said in a sonorous voice, "There is no need to say anything more. Zhantian is worth me waiting for another seven days and seven nights. In this glorious age, the rise of the Divine Dragon Palace will belong to him. "
"Dong!
Dong! Dong! "Right after the Dragon King spoke, heavy footsteps came from the barrier. The footsteps were very heavy.
Every step was very heavy, causing the ground to tremble. The expressions of the four elders changed greatly. They thought that a powerful Demonic Beast had come out of the spatial crack, so they quickly turned their heads to look.
They saw Xuanyuan Zhantian covered in wounds from the spatial crack. His purple robes were dyed red. He carried the Royal Dragon Horse, which looked even more severely injured than him, on his shoulder.
The four revealed expressions of extreme shock. The Royal Dragon Horse weighed tens of thousands of kilograms. Could it be that Xuanyuan Zhantian carried it all the way back with his injured body?
"Bang!"
Xuanyuan Zhantian held the Heavenly War Halberd in his right hand and casually swung it forward. The barrier that could trap a Rank 8 Demonic Beast immediately shattered.
"Sorry, something unexpected happened to Brother Ma. I was trapped for a long time. I hope I am not late!"
--- Ancient Desolate Land, under the vast Heavenly Extermination Lake, a huge palace made of white jade floated quietly at the bottom of the lake.
This palace was the mysterious headquarters of the Myriad Fiend Palace. Beside a garden in the palace, Bai seriously practiced the Heart Nourishing Universe Sword Technique.
As the sword light danced around, the wind howled. It was like the world had turned upside down. A bright light flickered at his chest.
As the light flickered, the might of the Chain Sword Technique more than doubled. That flickering light was the heart of a swordsman that countless swordsmen yearned for even in their dreams.
After two years, Bai's pure and charming face lost some of its childishness and gained a youthful charm.
Her curvaceous figure also became more graceful. Coupled with her indistinct demonic aura, it gave the young girl a different kind of beauty. One look at her would make one sink into her. "Dong! Dong!
Dong! "
Footsteps rang out. Bai sheathed her sword and turned her head to look. She discovered Mu Xinya walking over.
Mu Xinya immediately revealed a joyful smile on her pretty face. She quickly ran over and said, "Elder Sister Xinya, are we going to the Great Jin Nation?"
As one of the three peak geniuses of the Myriad Fiend Palace, naturally, Mu Xinya had to represent the Myriad Fiend Palace in the Five Nation Youth Competition. She rubbed Bai's head and said, "Yes, we are leaving soon."
Bai continued to ask, "Elder Sister Xinya, Elder Brother Xiao Chen will definitely participate, right?"
Mu Xinya revealed a smile on her quiet face. Xiao Chen's face appeared in her mind. She thought about how heroic he was in the Ancient Desolate Tower.
Mu Xinya nodded seriously and said, "He will definitely go."
Bai smiled happily and said, "That's great! I can finally see Elder Brother Xiao Chen."
Shen Manjun's Golden Jade Glazed Ship flew at Mach 3 in the clouds, heading for the Great Jin Nation's Dragon Sealing Mountain.
Several warships could be seen in the sky. Like the Golden Jade Glazed Ship, they were all heading in the same direction.
Aside from the warships, there were also many cultivators traveling alone, riding on flying Spirit Beasts.
As far as the eye could see, there were quite a few martial artists separated by a certain distance.
Naturally, these people were all heading for the Great Jin Nation's Dragon Sealing Mountain. However, only a small portion of them were there to prepare the hundred participants. Most of them were there to watch the excitement.
The Five Nation Youth Competition was the start of the age of geniuses. It was a once-in-a-thousand-years event. It attracted the attention of all the cultivators in the continent. Everyone wanted to go and take a look.
In this age of geniuses, who would be the true main character? Who would have the last laugh on the stage of competition? Who would be the true main character?
However, the seats were limited. The spectator stands of the Wind Cloud Platform could not accommodate all the cultivators. They had to hurry. If they were late, they would have made a wasted trip.
The Golden Jade Glazed Ship moved very fast. Few Spirit Beasts or warships could keep up with it. Xiao Chen and the others watched the scenery on the deck and chatted casually.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen thought of something. He asked, "Why do I not see Leng Liusu? With her strength, she should have become a Martial King after cultivating in the Holy Land for two years."
"That's right. Why is Leng Liusu not back?"
As the Young Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, Leng Liusu had not returned at such a crucial moment. When the crowd heard what Xiao Chen said, they could not help but feel it was strange.
Murong Chong, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said, "She has already become a core disciple of the Phoenix's Passion Palace. She has already gone to the upper realm. The people of the Three Holy Masters cannot come here to snatch Luck."
When the crowd heard this, they were astonished. At the same time, they felt it was strange how Murong Chong knew.
After six days of nonstop flying at Mach 3, the Golden Jade Glazed Ship finally arrived at the Great Jin Nation's Dragon Sealing Mountain. They only needed to fly for another half a day to reach the Dragon Sealing Mountain.
Jiang Chi and the other two elders had already walked out from the deck. They introduced the situation of the Great Jin Nation to Xiao Chen and the others. At the same time, they gave a simple explanation of the rules of the Five Nation Youth Competition.
"The Five Nation Youth Competition is split into the preliminaries and arena battles. No matter how many participants sign up, there are only four hundred slots for the preliminaries. That is to say, only four hundred people in the entire Tianwu Continent can step onto the Wind Cloud Platform."
When Liu Suifeng heard this, he was startled. He said, "So strict? If so many people are eliminated in the first round, won't some of the strong participants be buried?"
Jiang Chi smiled and said, "Yes, but such a situation rarely happens. The preliminaries are very simple and fair. You will understand when you get there."
The closer the warship got to the Dragon Sealing Mountain, the more warships they met. In the end, they would meet a warship every hundred meters.
The warships were so densely packed that they covered the sky. There were at least ten thousand warships and countless flying Spirit Beasts. The scene was boundlessly vast, shocking everyone.
The density of the warships was simply too high. Shen Manjun had no choice but to slow down the Golden Jade Glazed Ship and advance slowly.
After four hours, Jiang Chi pointed to a mountain range in front and said, "That is the Dragon Sealing Mountain!"
