There were countless deep pits of various sizes. The originally lush forest no longer existed.
Furthermore, this was because Xiao Chen was able to restrain himself. If he had not done so, half the mountain would have been chopped off.
Ao Jiao, with the current strength of my body, can I barely execute Return of the Blue Dragon? Xiao Chen asked in his heart.
Xiao Chen had experienced the might of a Heaven Ranked Martial Technique. Back then, when he was a Martial Disciple, he was able to jump realms and kill a Martial Grand Master. This was the best proof.
Now that the Five Nation Youth Competition was filled with experts, everyone had their own trump cards. If he could execute Return of the Blue Dragon, it would undoubtedly increase Xiao Chen's confidence.
When the sky brightened, Xiao Chen returned to Dragon Sealing City in an excited mood. Boundless fatigue washed over him, and he fell asleep without doing anything.
After some time, he vaguely heard knocking on the door and someone calling out to him, "Senior Brother." His good habits allowed Xiao Chen to wake up quickly.
Xiao Chen circulated his energy and his fatigue was swept away. When he woke up, he felt very refreshed.
When he looked up, he discovered mottled sunlight shining in through the cracks in the door. He had slept until noon.
He quickly got up and opened the door. Yun Kexin, Liu Suifeng, Mu Chen, Zhang Lie, and Murong Chong were all waiting for him outside.
"Unexpectedly, Junior Brother Xiao has the habit of sleeping in. It is already noon, and you are still sleeping," Yun Kexin said with a somewhat mischievous smile.
Xiao Chen felt somewhat embarrassed. Something had happened the night before, causing him to exhaust both his mind and body. Normally, he would not have slept so soundly.
"Why are you looking for me?"
Liu Suifeng smiled and said, "Senior Sister Yun, let's go. There are many historical sites and buildings from the Ancient Era in Dragon Sealing City. Let's take a look around."
Before the Tianwu Dynasty was established, Dragon Sealing City already existed. Normally, Dragon Sealing City was not open to the public. Outsiders would not be able to see its glory.
Only during the Five Nation Youth Competition would it open to welcome guests. Cultivators from all over the world would pour in, making this normally empty city extraordinarily bustling.
Even the unsociable Murong Chong was prepared to go with them. One could imagine the charm of Dragon Sealing City.
Xiao Chen was also a little tempted. He smiled and said, "Wait for me. I'll be done after I wash up."
After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Xiao Chen followed everyone out of the courtyard and walked through the streets and alleys of Dragon Sealing City.
Yesterday, when Xiao Chen landed first, there was not a single person in the huge Dragon Sealing City. However, at this moment, it was packed with people. There were cultivators from various countries everywhere.
Many peddlers seemed as if they'd emerged from the ground, and they covered the streets and alleys like taverns, teahouses, inns, and stalls. There was everything that one could think of, and everything seemed to be bustling and flourishing like a piece of brocade.
Liu Suifeng smiled and said, "Unexpectedly, there are so many people. Dragon Sealing City is larger than our Xihe City. If it is completely filled, there will be more than two million people."
Yun Kexin nodded and said, "That is normal. Just think about the influence of the Five Nation Youth Competition. That is a grand event of the entire continent. Furthermore, with the charm of Dragon Sealing City, it would not be strange for three million people to come."
The group walked around the city, taking in the sights. Several historical sites from tens of thousands of years ago could be seen everywhere in Dragon Sealing City.
With one look, one could tell that the ancient aura they exuded was not fake. Several of these historical sites were so amazing that they lingered on for so long that they forgot to return.
There were even some cultivators who suddenly comprehended something before these ancient objects, breaking through a bottleneck that they had not been able to overcome for many years.
As the group walked, they arrived before a wall filled with deep marks. This place was very popular; a large number of cultivators gathered here.
It was unknown what material this wall was made of. It was pitch-black and gave off a deep glow. It was a hundred meters tall.
"This is the Coiling Dragon Wall. The wall itself is a meteorite from outer space. When it fell, it became like this. The marks on the wall were left by some ancient Martial Sages. There are spear marks, sword marks, saber marks, palm marks, and fist marks. "
"Only an expert with True Dragon Qi can leave marks on this wall. Hehe! This Coiling Dragon Wall is not simple."
The owner of the wall was a rich-looking merchant. He was currently introducing the wall to the crowd with a smile on his face. "If any of you can touch this Coiling Dragon Wall and last ten seconds, I will immediately give you one hundred thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones.
"The longer you last, the more I will give. For every ten seconds you last twice as long, I will give you double the amount of Spirit Stones. All you need is ten thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones to test it out."
There was a huge horizontal line on the ground, blocking the many spectating bladesmen five hundred meters away. They could only watch from afar.
"Is that true? As long as one can touch the wall for ten seconds, they will give one hundred thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones?"
"That must be a lie. How can there be such an easy thing in the world?" Several cultivators were tempted. They could get one hundred thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones just by touching the wall. No matter how they thought about it, it was very simple.
The rich-looking merchant smiled and said, "I guarantee it is real. I am an administrator of the Wan-Long Merchant Association. I do have that much credibility."
"The Wan-Long Merchant Association is the top merchant association in the Great Jin Nation. It is also the top merchant association in the world. It should be real. Let me give it a try."
A Medial Grade Martial King bladesman tossed down ten thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones and strode across the horizontal line, heading for the pitch-black wall.
"Bang!"
Before that cultivator could walk a hundred meters, his expression turned extremely unsightly. After taking a few more steps, he vomited a mouthful of blood and flew back.
Such a mysterious phenomenon immediately shocked the others, making them feel astonished. This caused the hearts of the cultivators who were eager to give it a try to turn cold. They were no longer in a rush to make a decision.
However, human curiosity was the most stubborn. The stranger something was, the more people wanted to know the answer. They wanted to test it out for themselves.
Furthermore, there was the temptation of the large sum of Medial Grade Spirit Stones. After a while, a few more people handed over their Spirit Stones and walked over.
In the end, without exception, no one could get within a hundred meters of the wall. They were all knocked back by a strange force. Their faces were filled with horror.
In the time it took to brew a cup of tea, the administrator of the Wan-Long Merchant Association had received more than two million Medial Grade Spirit Stones. The smile on his face became even wider.
"Is there any other friend who wants to give it a try? This is a one-to-ten compensation deal. It is definitely worth it."
Liu Suifeng felt it was strange. He asked, "Xiao Chen, what's going on? Not to mention touching the wall, we can't even get within a hundred meters."
Xiao Chen muttered to himself for a while before replying, "The problem should be with those deep scars. I'm afraid that what that person said was true. They are indeed scars left by ancient Martial Sages.
"The will on the scars has not dissipated yet. Bladesmen have to face the saber intent of ancient Saber Sages. Swordsmen have to face the sword intent of ancient Sword Sages. Fist and leg practitioners have to face the aura of their respective Sages.
"Let me give it a try."
As Murong Chong spoke, he stepped forward and tossed down ten thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones. Then, he crossed the horizontal line and headed for the Coiling Dragon Wall.
Murong Chong walked the first two hundred meters with a relaxed expression. Then, his expression started to turn unsightly. After he walked another hundred meters, he frowned deeply.
Murong Chong did not stop and continued forward. After he walked another hundred meters, he stopped when he was only a hundred meters away from the Demon Wall.
One hundred meters was a hurdle. No one had crossed it yet. When the crowd saw Murong Chong stop a hundred meters away, they could not help but feel nervous.
Murong Chong took a deep breath and placed his right hand on his saber hilt. Then, he strode forward, leaving a deep footprint on the ground. He had succeeded.
"He succeeded. This person has walked a hundred meters. He is truly worthy of being a genius qualified for the arena battles," someone said softly when he saw the dragon-shaped jade pendant at Murong Chong's waist.
"I wonder if he can continue walking."
After that, every step Murong Chong took was very difficult. Sweat covered his forehead as he inched closer to the Coiling Dragon Wall.
No one knew what kind of pressure Murong Chong was facing. The footprints he left on the ground became deeper and deeper.
"There are only ten steps left. If I take another ten steps, I will be able to touch that Coiling Dragon Wall."
Although it was very difficult, Murong Chong did not stop. The distance between him and the Coiling Dragon Wall continued to shrink. Everyone's hearts were in their throats.
"Pa!"
Murong Chong suddenly shouted and took a big step forward. Finally, he arrived at the foot of the Coiling Dragon Wall and sent a palm strike at it.
"Boom!"
However, Murong Chong only made contact with it for a second before he was knocked back by a formless energy. He vomited a large mouthful of blood, and his complexion turned incredibly pale.
Liu Suifeng and the others quickly rushed forward and helped him up. Murong Chong muttered, "The saber intent of an ancient Martial Sage is indeed horrifying."
Although Murong Chong was knocked back in a sorry state, no one mocked him for being weak. After all, no one had even managed to get within a hundred meters of the wall.
For Murong Chong to be able to walk up and touch that wall already proved that he was very strong.
Following that, several more people stepped forward to try. Among them, there were a few who qualified for the arena battles. However, they could only get within ten meters of the wall at most. They could not even touch the Coiling Dragon Wall.
The strange Coiling Dragon Wall and the mysterious ancient Martial Sage caused more and more people to gather here. However, there were too many failures. No one dared to try it again.
"Interesting. I heard that the Wanlong Merchant Association dug up a mysterious rock from beyond the heavens. Unexpectedly, I found it here. Let me give it a try."
A cold voice resounded. A blue-robed swordsman slowly walked over, parting the crowd.
"It's the Drifting Snow Sword Sect's Liu Xiaoyun. He was ranked ninth in the previous Five Nation Youth Competition. Unexpectedly, such a person is here to join in the fun."
The Drifting Snow Sword Sect's Liu Xiaoyun.
Xiao Chen had some impression of him. Back at the summit, he had seen Liu Xiaoyun's strong state of ice. Xiao Chen had heard that Liu Xiaoyun had obtained the qualifications to be a seeded participant.
Liu Xiaoyun held a simple and unadorned sword in his hand as he arrived before the line. When he saw the Coiling Dragon Wall covered in all sorts of saber marks, sword marks, and fist marks, he revealed a disdainful smile.
"You have already been dead for tens of thousands of years. Who are you trying to scare?!"
"Pu!"
Liu Xiaoyun pushed off the ground and took a step forward. Then, he took another step forward and moved another two hundred meters. In the blink of an eye, he had advanced three hundred meters.
The surrounding cultivators all cried out in surprise. They were all astonished by Liu Xiaoyun's strength.
After Liu Xiaoyun steadied himself, his expression turned cautious. The sharp wills carved on the Coiling Dragon Wall continuously attacked his soul and mind.
