After struggling for a long time, he managed to keep the name "Chick". He was filled with joy.
Now, he finally understood how terrible his master's naming skills were.
Fortunately, he had fought for the name. Otherwise, whether it was Chicken Tyrant or Little Sword Sword, he wouldn't have been able to accept it!
Otherwise, when facing a Divine Beast in the future …
"I am the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, a super godbeast who roams the myriad worlds, the Primordial Divine Dragon, Proud Heaven!"
"I am Huo Qianyu, the Nine-Headed Fire Phoenix, Huo Qianyu!"
…
It was its turn …
"I am the Divine Beast … * * * * * *, Chicken Tyrant!"
…
If that was the case, he would vomit blood and die before the fight even began.
What was going on …
How did he find such an unreliable master …
He looked down at his own body …
It really did look like a chick! And it was the kind that had just come out of the eggshell …
Most importantly, my memories are all gone … What kind of Mythological Beast am I?
Chick fell into deep thought.
Zhang Xuan could not be bothered with this fellow who was struggling with his life. He took out the corpses of the three Immortal Monarchs who had tried to assassinate him.
Just like the warriors of the Hall of Gods, there was nothing valuable in the other party's spatial rings. Zhang Xuan could only place his hopes on assimilating these fellows. After being assaulted by the Hall of Gods twice in a row, he still had no idea how his identity had been compromised.
Ever since he started cultivating, he had never had such an urgent desire for power!
Even though Zhang Xuan could only use a single Soulless Metal Humanoid at a time, the more of them there were, the safer it would be. For example, when that fellow self-destructed earlier, the more Soulless Metal Humanoids there were, the safer it would be to arrange them in a row to act as a shield.
…
In an ancient and quiet temple.
The tall figure flashed again and appeared in the middle of the hall surrounded by flames.
"Another failure?"
His eyes stared coldly at the black-robed man in front of him.
"Yes …" The black-robed man trembled.
"Looks like I've still underestimated him. The chosen one indeed has great luck …"
Narrowing his eyes, the towering figure harrumphed coldly, "Why don't you do it yourself? If you fail again … don't come to see me, just kill yourself! Also, find out what kind of trump card he has that even three Celestial Lords from the Temple of Immortals were unable to succeed! "
"Yes, Master!"
The black-robed man hurriedly nodded before turning around to leave.
"Hold on …" The tall figure waved his hand, "Spread the latest news from the Hall of Gods. The Azure Bridge is scheduled to open in half a month's time!"
"Half a month later? In advance? "
The black-robed man was stunned.
Under normal circumstances, the Sky-crossing Bridge would take some time to activate. Wasn't it a little too fast to activate it in half a month?
"Since the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion has chosen him as their sect leader, it's likely that they want him to become a challenger to challenge the Azure Bridge. There's still a long period of time before the Azure Bridge opens. I'm afraid that he'll be able to make a breakthrough to the High Immortal realm within this period of time.
The tall figure's eyes turned cold. "He must not be allowed to succeed. Otherwise, all of you will die!"
"Yes! This subordinate understands … "The black-robed man's expression was solemn. Without another word, he turned around and left.
…
In the sky above the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, there was a slender boat floating in the air. There was a lady standing quietly on it, and behind her was an adolescent boy.
"Palace Master Du, why did you come here personally?"
A figure suddenly appeared in the air. It was none other than Han Jianqiu.
"I'm here for your new sect leader!"
With her hands behind her back, the woman said calmly.
She was the head of Starchaser Palace, Du Qingyuan!
"Sect leader?" Han Jianqiu frowned.
"Yes. Can you bring him out to meet me? "
Du Qingyuan nodded.
"This …" Han Jianqiu hesitated for a moment before replying, "Palace Master Du, I'm truly sorry. Our sect leader is currently cultivating the Ascendant Cloud Sword God Formula, and he's currently in seclusion.
Otherwise, if the Hall of Gods were to learn of it, they might pursue him. If that happened, the hope that they had just obtained would vanish once more.
"He's in seclusion?" Du Qingyuan frowned.
She had long known that the new sect leader of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion was cultivating the Ascendant Cloud Sword God Formula, so she did not doubt Han Jianqiu's words.
After all, Han Jianqiu had gone through the same thing as well, and he had gone into seclusion for fifteen years.
No matter how talented Zhang Xuan was, it was unlikely that he would be able to make a breakthrough anytime soon. After all, she could not possibly keep him waiting here for many years!
"Do you have a portrait of him? Let me take a look!"
Han Jianqiu asked doubtfully. "May I know the reason why Palace Master Du is here to look for our sect leader?"
Under normal circumstances, Du Qingyuan was the head of Starchaser Palace, one of the Six Sects. As a Semi-Divinity realm cultivator, she should be on par with Han Jianqiu. Before Zhang Xuan became the sect leader, he was just an insignificant figure in a small city. There shouldn't be any connection between the two of them, so why would she come all the way here to look for him?
"I just feel that the name sounds a little familiar. It sounds like someone I know, so I just want to confirm if it's him or not!"
Du Qingyuan replied.
If Zhang Xuan were here, he would have surely recognized Du Qingyuan as the deity whom Zhang Xuan had worshipped after Lozosy's departure back then.
In the end, he had taken Sovereign Chen Yong's soul away and used some kind of secret art to create a new body, which was the adolescent boy standing at the stern of the ship, Wu Chen!
"Someone you know?"
Han Jianqiu frowned.
Their sect leader was determined to head to the Sea of Exiled Stars, and no one had been able to stop him. Furthermore, the head of Starchaser Palace had come all the way here as well. Could the two of them really be acquaintances?
Han Jianqiu pondered for a moment before flicking his wrist. A jade token materialized in front of him, and Zhang Xuan's appearance appeared.
"This is our sect leader, Zhang Xuan!"
While Starchaser Palace did not have a good relationship with the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, Du Qingyuan did not have a bad reputation, so it was unlikely that she would do anything to harm their sect leader.
Not to mention, Zhang Xuan had not told her where he was heading to, so it did not matter to her even if she knew his appearance.
"As expected …"
Du Qingyuan's eyes lit up, and the adolescent boy behind her, Wu Chen, was visibly agitated.
"Palace Master Du, do you know him?"
Han Jianqiu asked.
"I have met him once …" Du Qingyuan nodded before turning around to instruct Wu Chen. "Wu Chen, if you wish to remain here, I can talk to Sect Leader Han about it.
"Thank you, Palace Master Du!"
Wu Chen's eyes lit up in excitement.
"Un." Du Qingyuan nodded. Just as she was about to speak, her eyebrows suddenly shot up. She turned to look at Han Jianqiu, and her face paled. "The Azure Bridge … has opened in advance? Half a month from now? "
"T-that's way too fast!" Han Jianqiu's body stiffened.
The Azure Bridge opened once every hundred years, and it was the only way to enter the Hall of Gods. If he missed it, he would have to wait another hundred years!
The new sect leader of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion possessed exceptional swordsmanship. Given the time it took for the Azure Bridge to open, there was no doubt that he would be able to reach Heavenly High Immortal realm and earn the right to challenge the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion.
Once that happened, he would be able to snatch the other half of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion back from the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion.
But … half a month from now, he would not make it in time!
Not to mention, he had already left for the Sea of Exiled Stars, so he had no idea where he was at the moment.
What should he do?
"Enter the Ethereal Hall!"
Without any hesitation, Han Jianqiu took out an Ethereal Token and dived his consciousness into it. Du Qingyuan followed closely behind him.
This was an Ethereal Token that only the strongest experts of the Forsaken Continent were qualified to use. It allowed them to gather together and discuss important matters faster.
As for why they had gathered their true bodies together to discuss the Azure Bridge back then, it was because the Ethereal Hall was a treasure of the other sects. There was a chance that information about it would leak out.
It was just a simple meeting, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Figures began appearing one after another in the sealed room of the Ethereal Hall. Clearly, the other sect leaders had received the news as well, and they had rushed over as well.
"What do you all plan to do?"
Han Jianqiu asked. Seeing that the leaders of the Six Sects had arrived, he scanned the surroundings.
"The Six Sects will have to deal with the opening of the Azure Bridge properly. Sect Leader Han, hasn't your new sect leader comprehended the Gods' Sword Intent? Why isn't he here? "
An elder asked.
The news that the new sect leader of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, Zhang Xuan, had comprehended the Gods' Sword Intent had already spread far and wide across the Forsaken Continent. Under normal circumstances, he was already qualified to participate in the meeting.
"He's currently in seclusion, so I haven't informed him yet."
Han Jianqiu replied.
"What about your new Sect Master, Zheng Yang?" The old man looked at Sect Master Qin Yuan, who was nearby.
"He's in seclusion as well," Sect Leader Qin replied.
"Both of them are in seclusion?" The elder frowned. "It's a once-in-a-century opportunity to clear the Azure Bridge and enter the Hall of Gods. The two most promising sect leaders are currently in seclusion, so what should we do?"
When the two sect leaders were inaugurated, they had been extremely passionate about it. Why would they suddenly go into seclusion at such a crucial moment?
"Alright, we'll find a way to inform our sect leader. Meanwhile, the rest of you should quickly select the strongest and most talented disciples in your sects. Ten days from now, we'll gather at the Heaven Anchoring Boulder in the Sea of Exiled Stars. Before the opening of the Azure Bridge, let's test the strength of the sects first before deciding on the leader!"
Han Jianqiu paused for a moment before replying.
"That's settled then."
The crowd nodded in agreement.
This was indeed the best solution they could come up with.
The Hall of Gods was located above the Sea of Exiled Stars, and that was where the Azure Bridge would appear.
If the Six Sects wanted to send their experts into the Hall of Gods, they would have to head there in advance.
"That's for the best. If we gather together, we'll be able to come up with a better plan! "
At this moment, an indifferent voice rang out. Following which, a shadow moved and a tall figure also appeared in the room.
Upon seeing this figure, the crowd immediately stood up and clasped their fists. "Hall Master Kong!"
It was the head of the Ethereal Hall!
"Un, there's no need to stand on ceremony. I have heard the news as well. I hope that you can bring the top experts of your sects to the Heaven Anchoring Boulder as soon as possible. As soon as we select a leader, I'll explain the matter regarding the Azure Bridge and the Hall of Gods to him!"
Hall Master Kong chuckled as he turned to Han Jianqiu. "This is especially so for your new sect leader, Zhang Xuan. When he arrives at the Heaven Anchoring Boulder, I hope that you can introduce him to me. I'm really interested to meet a genius of his caliber who has comprehended the Gods' Sword Intent!"
Han Jianqiu nodded. "I'll make sure to invite him over to thank Hall Master Kong!"
