Several grandmaster-level Martial Sages disregarded their statuses and started promising Xiao Chen all sorts of benefits, dazzling Xiao Chen. He could not help but cast a pleading gaze at Shui Lingling.
Shui Lingling smiled bitterly. She understood these people's excitement at finding a good sapling. However, they could not teach Xiao Chen.
Just as Xiao Chen was about to speak, a small mountain-like flame descended from the sky. A strong aura pressed down, making breathing difficult.
A formless force swept over. Xiao Chen and Shui Lingling were the most vulnerable. They could not resist at all, and their bodies were pushed back uncontrollably.
"Boom!"
The flame stopped above a residence and quickly turned into a stout figure. This person had thick eyebrows, large eyes, and a squarish face. He looked like a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man wore purple Battle Armor that flickered with talisman scripts. An extremely heavy stench of blood lingered on his body. Clearly, he had just experienced a great battle.
"Greetings, Vice Sect Master!"
Everyone, including Elder Bai, lowered their heads and bowed respectfully.
It turned out that this middle-aged man was the Haotian Sect's Vice Sect Master. No wonder he had such a strong aura. He was probably a Martial Sage that surpassed grandmaster-level Martial Sages, someone like the Blue Robed Emperor.
Xiao Chen lowered his head and guessed in his heart. He had not guessed that this person was Emperor Wu because of his intuition.
"The few of you, stop messing around. He is someone that the Sect Master has taken a fancy to. Even I do not have any designs on him. Elder Bai, bring some people to Black Water Star. I already dealt with the Astral Beasts there, "the square-faced, middle-aged man said calmly.
The square-faced middle-aged man said calmly. Then, his figure flashed and he turned into a fiery light that escaped into his own palace.
The moment this person left, that formless might and aura vanished. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
"Vice Sect Master's strength is becoming increasingly unfathomable. There are several Rank 5 Astral Beasts on Black Water Star."
"Soon, he will become our Haotian Sect's fourth Emperor Wu."
"There is nothing to say about that. It is just unfortunate that the Sect Master snatched away such a good seedling."
The few old men muttered to themselves. Then, they looked at Xiao Chen reluctantly before leaving.
These words confused Xiao Chen. He raised his head and looked at the Starry Heavens above. Then, he asked, "First Senior Sister, are we still in the Kunlun Realm?"
Shui Lingling smiled and said, "Naturally, we are still in the Kunlun Realm. However, we are no longer in the Kunlun Continent. We are already in the Starry Heavens. This is the headquarters of our Supreme Sky Sect in the Starry Heavens, the Supreme Sky Star."
"You don't have to be surprised. In the future, you will know that the resources of the continent are limited. Only the resources of the starry sky are unlimited. The top sects will set their headquarters in the starry sky."
After flying for about an hour, Shui Lingling brought Xiao Chen to a majestic hall in the mountains.
An old man with white hair and eyebrows stood on the platform in front of the hall. He looked very amiable. This was the Haotian Sect's inner sect's First Elder, Han Qinghe.
"Greetings, First Elder."
After the two landed, they performed cupped-fist salutes.
Han Qinghe raised his hand and smiled. Then, he carefully sized up Xiao Chen. Revealing a satisfied expression, he said, "Xiao Chen, you already know what this place is, right?"
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "I do. First Senior Sister already told me."
"You are the first inner sect disciple to enter this place in the past one thousand years. You will understand how many benefits there are in the future."
Han Qinghe continued in a calm tone, "One month from now, the Proud Son of Heaven Ranking's Sage Battle will begin. This Sage Battle will be different from the past. You will not fight for rankings but for slots."
The moment Xiao Chen said that, even Shui Lingling found it strange. She asked, "What slots?"
Han Qinghe explained, "The Kunlun Mountain's Heavenly Dew Divine Spring is already full. The Bushin Palace obtained ten slots. The other Fiend Races, the Deity Race, the Ghost Race, and the Corpse Race all obtained slots as well."
When Ao Jiao, who was in the Immortal Spirit Ring, heard the mention of the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring, she immediately cried out, "Xiao Chen, you cannot miss out on that slot. You have to fight for it."
Xiao Chen asked doubtfully, "Heavenly Dew Divine Spring? What is that?"
"It is very complicated to explain. Let me put it simply. Kunlun Mountain is a holy mountain that has existed since the Immortal Epoch. Even now, it is still the center of the entire Kunlun Realm, the starting point of the Martial Epoch.
"There is a legendary Immortal Spring in the mountain, which is the current Heavenly Dew Divine Spring. By soaking in it, one's aptitude can be improved, turning a mediocre person into a genius, and a genius into a powerful demonic genius.
"According to legend, the cultivators who soak in this spring will definitely become Emperor Wu if there are no accidents. Furthermore, many facts have proven this point. Aside from those who died accidentally, all the geniuses who soaked in this spring became Emperor Wu before the age of one hundred. "
When Xiao Chen heard the last sentence, he could not help but feel excited.
Han Qinghe smiled and said, "I believe the two of you have more or less heard of the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring. The Haotian Sect places its hopes on the two of you. You have to obtain two spots.
"Lingling, bring Xiao Chen to the Heavenly Battle Palace. Here is my token. Give Xiao Chen a Heaven Series training room. Xiao Chen should not go out for one month."
The Heavenly Battle Palace was a place where all the Haotian Sect's true inheritors would be attracted to after they reached a certain stage. As long as they did not advance to Martial Sage, they would remain there. Hence, there would be a large age difference.
However, most of them would be within one hundred years of age. If they could not advance to Martial Sage by one hundred years of age, they would be chased out of Haotian Star, never to return. The highest floor of the Haotian Sect's pyramid would have nothing to do with them.
However, such a thing was extremely rare.
The true inheritors that the Haotian Sect took a liking to had pretty good talent in the first place. With vast resources and guidance from many senior experts, they would be able to advance to Martial Sage before the age of one hundred.
In normal times, those who could advance to Martial Sage before the age of one hundred in the Kunlun Realm would be considered geniuses. Ordinary Martial Sages could not compare to them.
After all, it was unfair to use this once-in-ten-thousand-years era of geniuses as a standard. The Martial Epoch only had a history of tens of thousands of years.
Along the way, Xiao Chen asked Shui Lingling, "First Senior Sister, it is understandable that the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring is useful to us. However, based on Elder Han's expression, it seems like if we can obtain a spot, the sect will benefit greatly as well."
Shui Lingling knew that Xiao Chen had always been cautious and meticulous. So his question was not strange. She explained, "After soaking in the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring, our blood will contain the medicinal effects of the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring for twenty-four hours.
"At that time, as long as you and I bleed a little more, the sect will refine it into Medicinal Pills. The Haotian Sect will have several dozen or even hundreds of Martial Sages."
Seeing the shocked expression on Xiao Chen's face, Shui Lingling smiled and said, "However, don't worry. This matter will not affect us. The essence of the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring will immediately enter our bones. In the end, the only thing circulating in our blood will be some dregs."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and did not say anything. He was just somewhat shocked at the effects of this Heavenly Dew Divine Spring. Just the dregs could produce so many Martial Sages.
Xiao Chen wondered if the cultivators who soaked in the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring would really become Emperor Wu before the age of one hundred like the rumors said.
On the mountain path, they rarely met other people. However, when they did, they were all Martial Sage experts. Xiao Chen did not dare to underestimate any of them.
These were ordinary Martial Sages. They were all elite Martial Sages of the Haotian Sect. Grandmaster Martial Sages often led them to fight Astral Beasts in the Starry Heavens.
These Martial Sages did not lack resources. They were far from what loose cultivators or the few Xuan Clan Doyens could compare to.
Xiao Chen finally understood how vast the Kunlun Realm was. The Haotian Sect was not even at the peak of the Nine Ranks of the Great Families, yet it already had so many Earthen Cores.
How strong were the accumulations of the peak Nine Ranks of the Great Families? What kind of scenery would the Sovereign Sects and Sovereign Noble Clans be? Not to mention the other races that were still mysterious to Xiao Chen.
"We've arrived. This is the Heavenly Battle Palace."
Xiao Chen looked up and saw a majestic palace in front. Three large words were written in a flamboyant style: Heavenly Battle Palace. When Xiao Chen stared at it for a while, he felt a piercing pain in his eyes.
Xiao Chen quickly withdrew his gaze. It looked like these three words had some other meaning.
"First Senior Sister, you're here again."
A few men and women walked out of the palace's doors. They all had deep cultivations, all peak half-Sages. However, they did not look young. The youngest among them was at least forty years old.
However, based on the average lifespan of the Kunlun Realm, forty years old was not considered middle-aged. Furthermore, one's appearance would not change too much.
When the leader saw Shui Lingling, he immediately walked over with a smile. Shui Lingling was now the top true inheritor and the Sect Master's personal disciple.
Even though these people were older than Shui Lingling, they still had to address her as First Senior Sister. Due to seniority, they could not simply address her that way.
Clearly, Shui Lingling was familiar with the people here. After she greeted them, she said, "Junior Brother Zhong Yi, this is the newly arrived Junior Brother Xiao Chen. He received orders from the First Elder to come to the Heavenly Battle Palace to cultivate for one month."
When Zhong Yi saw Xiao Chen behind Shui Lingling, surprise flashed in his eyes. His first reaction was that Xiao Chen was too young.
Based on Xiao Chen's appearance, he was only about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. Zhong Yi had not heard of such a young person entering the Heavenly Battle Palace in a long time.
The group of previous true inheritors behind Zhong Yi also showed surprise on their faces, clearly in disbelief.
"First Senior Sister, is this true? How come I have never heard of this Junior Brother Xiao Chen before? "Zhong Yi could not help but ask. This was also what the others were thinking.
Shui Lingling took out the inner sect's First Elder's medallion and smiled. "That is natural. The First Elder's medallion is here. How could it be fake? That's right, who will get the Heaven Series training room for this month? The First Elder has already decided to give it to Xiao Chen."
The moment Xiao Chen said that, everyone's expressions changed drastically. The surprise in their eyes turned into extreme shock.
"Is this for real? The Heavenly Battle Palace's only Heaven Series training room is going to a person who just entered the Heavenly Battle Palace."
"We have to have a competition every month. Only the champion can enjoy the Heaven Series training room for one month. The moment he arrived, he will stay there for one month?"
