The final result of the challenge was out of everyone's expectations. Xiao Ji Shan and Xiao Ji Fei of the Ji generation were ranked eighth and tenth respectively, obtaining the qualifications to participate in the Cloud State Martial Gathering.
This result made Xiao Ding very satisfied. Xiao Ding believed that in this Cloud State Martial Gathering, no matter what the results were, just the three young disciples of the Ji generation and one of the Xiang generation were enough to make the Xiao family proud and elated!
After the top ten were decided, Xiao Ding, the four guests, and the six elders directly led the ten qualified disciples to the Xiao family's meeting hall.
…
"Xiao … Xiang Hao, you're really awesome. It's only been half a year, and even I can't compare to you, haha …" Xiao Ji Shan finally seized the opportunity to come to Chen Hao's side. His rough face had a touch of unconcealable envy as he said.
"Senior brother, you flatter me. I was just lucky …"
"Lucky? Why are you being modest with your senior brother … this Yuan Ling Cave, you have to make good use of it … "Xiao Ji Shan said.
"Senior brother, what benefits does this Yuan Ling Cave have?" Chen Hao couldn't help but ask.
Although he already knew that entering the Elemental Spirit Cave was something that Xiao Clan disciples yearned for even in their dreams, until now, Chen Hao didn't know what kind of shocking value the Elemental Spirit Cave had. Xiao Guan had reminded him when he obtained the qualifications, and now Xiao Ji Shan reminded him again. This made Chen Hao more and more curious.
"Haha, I haven't entered it yet, so I don't know much. I don't know the specific situation inside, but … I still know a little. Do you know why our Xiao family didn't establish itself in the Cloud State city, but in the wilderness? It's because of the Yuan Ling Cave! "
As Xiao Jishan spoke, Xiao Jifei, the taciturn but cold youth, Xiao Jifei, also moved closer to the two of them.
"This Yuan Ling Cave is located in the Heaven's Road Mountain, and the entrance is very hidden. When the Xiao family ancestor was chased to the peak of the Heaven's Road by his enemies and fell into a desperate situation, in order to not be tortured by his enemies, the ancestor resolutely jumped into a bottomless abyss … Who would have thought that the heavens would not bar one's way. He was saved by a big tree that stretched out from the cliff, and it was a blessing in disguise, allowing him to enter the Yuan Ling Cave. That's how our Xiao Family came to be today! "
"The core area of the Yuan Spirit Cave is filled with a dense amount of Yuan Qi. When a martial artist enters it, they will be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort. The only drawback is that it is bone-chillingly cold. If you want to absorb the Yuan Qi within, you must first be able to withstand the cold … The longer you can withstand it, the greater your gains will be … The cold air is also extremely useful for tempering the body of a martial artist … In addition, everyone only has one chance to enter …"
"Not bad!"
At this moment, Xiao Ding, who was walking in front, turned around and said, "Ji Shan is right. The longer you cultivate in there, the greater the benefits you'll obtain … But I don't want you to force yourselves. Over the years, many disciples of our Xiao Clan have died in there because of their greed and greed … So, after you enter, you must know when to stop …
The reason why our Xiao Clan strictly controls the number of people who can enter the Yuan Spirit Cave is not because we don't want you to improve, but because with the aptitude and temperament of an ordinary disciple, not only will there be no benefits, it will instead be harmful. This is one of the reasons. Secondly, there is a powerful restriction in the Yuan Spirit Cave. Everyone only has one chance to enter. For people like us who have entered before, we are simply unable to take half a step into the cave!
Moreover, in the Yuan Spirit Cave, over the years, the cold air seems to have become stronger and stronger. If not for this, our Xiao Clan would not have not had a single disciple promoted to inner court disciple before the age of twenty … Sigh, if only our Yuan Spirit Cave could be like the Hao Lian Clan's Tianyuan Cave, that would be great! "
"Uncle, what is the Hao Lian Clan's Tianyuan Cave like?" Hearing Xiao Ding's words, Xiao Ji Shan asked curiously.
"It's about the same as our Yuan Spirit Cave after the cold air is extracted … That is the true sacred ground for cultivation. Otherwise, the Hao Lian Clan would not be the number one clan in Yunzhou that no one can shake! Every time Yunzhou Martial Meet, they always come out on top … "
"Hmph! The Hao Lian Clan has the Tianyuan Cave and is still not satisfied. They even want to snatch our Yuan Spirit Cave. If not for their deliberate suppression these few years, our Xiao Clan would not have been so miserable in the Yunzhou Martial Meet … Fortunately, with the Old Ancestor around, they do not dare to act rashly! However, the ten of you, pay attention. In this Yunzhou Martial Meet, you must be careful when you meet the Hao Lian Clan disciples. If you are not their match, admit defeat early to avoid being heavily injured or even killed by them … "The Second Elder Xiao Gang, who looked 70% similar to Xiao Ji Shan, was also Xiao Ji Shan's father. His face carried a strong dissatisfaction with the Hao Lian Clan as he spoke in a deep voice.
…
After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, everyone arrived at the Xiao Clan's meeting hall. Xiao Ding explained in detail to Chen Hao and the others what to pay attention to after entering the Yuan Spirit Cave, as well as the time to enter the cave, and then dismissed everyone.
…
The next day, early in the morning, the Xiao Clan's core members, inner court disciples, and outer court disciples, as if they had agreed, walked towards the Xiao Clan's back mountain, Heavenly Road Mountain.
The year-end Large Competition had already ended, and the Xiao Clan's disciples had also obtained a period of freedom.
Chen Hao, Lil Ling 'er, and the others walked together in the crowd. The number of people who turned their heads to look at them was not inferior to that of super beauties. The gazes that those who looked at Chen Hao were all different. Some were filled with admiration, some were filled with envy, and some were filled with pity and sympathy …
However, the disdain and disdain from before no longer existed …
Even if Xiao Jihan's followers saw Chen Hao, they could only temporarily avoid him. No one would have thought that in just half a year's time, Chen Hao had already become someone they could not afford to offend …
…
At the peak of Heavenly Road Mountain.
After half a year, even Chen Hao himself did not expect to come here again. He had already advanced to a grade one Martial Master, and had even become one of the Xiao Clan's outer court disciples.
Looking at the huge Martial Arts Practice Field at the peak of the mountain and the two golden 'Xiao' characters fluttering in the wind, it was like a dream …
The last time he came, Chen Hao only had the test in his mind, only the test. But this time, when he truly stood at the peak of the Heavenly Road and looked down, Chen Hao could not help but have the urge to howl towards the sky …
White clouds, a gentle breeze, layers of clouds swayed in his chest, and the view of the mountains was small …
It was as if he was in a fairyland.
"This is the entrance to the Origin Spirit Cave. Later, after we open the restriction, you all can enter. First Elder, give it to them … "Xiao Ding said in a deep voice.
Hearing Xiao Ding's words, First Elder Xiao Yuan took out a jade bottle from his bosom and said, "These are Fasting Pills. Take one and you won't need to eat for a day. Five for each person …"
"Wait, ten for each person …" Xiao Ding glanced at Chen Hao and Xiao Jihan and said with a slight frown.
In the past, the Xiao Clan's disciples would enter the Origin Spirit Cave within two to three days before they could no longer endure it. The record holder for the longest time was Xiao Ding, five days!
But this time, Xiao Jihan and Chen Hao's aptitude and talent were stronger than Xiao Ding's. They might even break his record and come out early because they did not have enough Fasting Pills. It would be a great loss for the two of them …
Besides Chen Hao and Xiao Jihan, Xiao Jishan and the taciturn Xiao Jifei also had aptitudes comparable to Xiao Ding's. It was because of this that Xiao Ding said this.
"Mm …" Xiao Yuan glanced at Xiao Jihan and nodded in response.
…
"Rise!"
When Xiao Ding stood at the center of the high platform at the edge of the training field, the four Honorable Guests and six Elders stood in ten different directions around the high platform. They all shouted at the same time. Rays of powerful, majestic, and terrifying brown Origin Energy, which symbolized the Martial Emperor Realm, burst out from the eleven of them. In an instant, with Xiao Ding as the center, the Origin Energy condensed into a pillar of brown light that shot up to the sky!
Chen Hao and all the spectating disciples widened their eyes in shock, especially the disciples of the Xiang generation who had never seen it before.
"This … is the power of a Martial Emperor?"
Chen Hao's eyes blazed as he stared at the huge pillar of light. His mind trembled violently. This was the first time he had seen the power of a Martial Emperor. He had never imagined that the power of a Martial Emperor would be so strong. Especially Xiao Ding, who was at the center of it all, the thick brown protective aura surrounding his body was actually suffused with a layer of faint, indistinct blue light. The aura around his body was obviously higher than that of the four Honorable Guests and the six Elders.
Not only was Chen Hao and the other disciples of the Xiao Clan astonished, even the Honorable Guests and the six elders were astonished, and almost lost their minds …
A blue light appeared, the Martial Emperor had appeared!
With the strength that Xiao Ding had displayed, there was no doubt that he had already comprehended the barrier of the Martial Emperor Realm. It was only a matter of time before he stepped into the Martial Emperor Realm!
"Rumble …"
After a short moment, everyone's terrifying Origin Energy merged into one. Under Xiao Ding's control, it streaked across the air in a mysterious trajectory. A series of rumbling sounds could be heard, and the entire high platform actually started to rotate slowly. As the high platform rotated, an icy cold aura instantly spread out, causing Chen Hao and the rest to shiver uncontrollably …
"Go in! Remember, if you can't hold on any longer, come back immediately! I don't want anything to happen to you … "
"Yes!"
Chen Hao and the other disciples responded. Xiao Jihan took the lead and stepped into the cave that could only fit one person. Then, the rest of the Shi generation followed suit.
