"Give me a price, I want your Earth Flame."
His eyes were calm, but there was a hint of arrogance in his indifferent tone. A trace of blazing aura surrounded his body, burning everything in its path, making Chen Zong's mouth dry.
Chen Zong was meditating in the pavilion when someone came knocking on his door. Surprisingly, it was the powerful genius from the Central Region who could control flames. Standing in front of him, Chen Zong could feel the pressure emitted by the other party. It was extremely shocking.
That day, when he had saved Chi Jiutian and Chi Longhai, he had used the power of Purple Cloud True Flame to kill the Scarlet Evil Ghost. This scene had been seen by others and had immediately made him a target.
For example, the thin young man surnamed Mao and the Central Territory genius who could control powerful flames in front of him.
Perhaps, there were other people who coveted his Earth Flame.
"I'm also very interested in your Earth Flame." Chen Zong stared at the other party fearlessly and said unhurriedly.
The other party was indeed very strong, and his aura was also very tyrannical, but it was not enough to shake him.
Moreover, should he give in just because the other party was stronger than him?
No, when he was weaker than the other party, Chen Zong would choose to escape if he had a chance, but if there was no chance to escape, he would fight with all his strength. He would never compromise.
"I admire your backbone, but do you really think you can be safe and sound just because of the rules of Ancient War City?" The other party smiled faintly, and his eyes seemed to spurt out flames, burning Chen Zong to ashes. "I'll give you some time to think it over. Next time, give me an accurate answer."
Saying so, the other party turned and left.
Staring at the other party's back, Chen Zong's sense of urgency grew stronger.
Geniuses from the top Lower Territory were not weak, and some of them could already pose a threat to him. As for geniuses from the Central Territory, their cultivation and strength were even more terrifying. They were not people he could compete with at present.
Thinking about it carefully, Chen Zong was horrified.
The thin young man surnamed Mao and the young man who had just controlled the flames were both less than twenty-four years old, but both of them had already reached the Seventh Layer of the Transcendent Realm. If they were in Blue Waves World, they would be Early Heavenly Profound Realm masters.
A twenty something year old Sky Profound Realm expert, this should have never appeared in Blue Waves World.
No, there was one, and that was Emperor Li Tian. However, Emperor Li Tian was not a normal cultivator, so the situation was different.
"If the Central Region's geniuses are like this, what about the Upper Region's geniuses?" Chen Zong could not help but have a thought.
Both the cultivation environment and the succession in the upper district were better than those in the middle district. Therefore, the cultivators in the upper district as a whole would be better than those in the middle district, with more geniuses and outstanding talents.
If someone had told Chen Zong that someone in the Upper Province had reached the Ninth Layer of the Transcendent Realm before the age of twenty-four, Chen Zong would not have doubted it.
Pressure!
An unprecedentedly powerful pressure descended upon Chen Zong, causing him to almost be unable to breathe. At the same time, an indescribable fighting spirit emerged from the depths of his heart.
Only when there was pressure would there be motivation, and only when there was a goal could one move forward.
Returning to his room, Chen Zong began cultivating again.
Now that he had entered Ancient Lie War City, Chen Zong did not know when the people from the Shang Sect would arrive, but he was not in a hurry, because the people from the Shang Sect would come sooner or later.
So, he would take advantage of this period to improve his cultivation and strength as much as possible.
Currently, Chen Zong's cultivation was his shortcoming, but this shortcoming could be slowly made up for with hard work. Another shortcoming was the level of his cultivation method and martial arts, which could not be made up for in a short period of time. He would need more advanced cultivation methods and martial arts.
In addition to improving his cultivation as much as possible, Chen Zong also comprehended the Heart Sword Sutra, which was his foundation. In addition, Chen Zong also tried to comprehend the Fire Attribute's Transcendent Secret Force.
The comprehension of Transcendent Secret Forces was not based on imagination, but on a corresponding basis.
For example, the Heart Sword Force was cultivated through the Heart Change, and the premise was one's Essence, Qi, and Soul.
For example, the Azure Cloud Force was comprehended through the Azure Cloud Sky Technique.
Therefore, Chen Zong wanted to comprehend the Fire Attribute's Transcendent Secret Force, and he used the Purple Cloud True Flame as a primer. Another idea was to comprehend the Fire Attribute's Transcendent Secret Force with the Purple Cloud True Flame as a primer, and perhaps it would be more compatible with the Purple Cloud True Flame.
However, as soon as Chen Zong tried to comprehend it, he found that it was very difficult.
Perhaps if he had not mastered the Heart Sword Force and the Azure Cloud Force, the difficulty of comprehending the Transcendent Secret Force through the Purple Cloud True Flame would be much lower.
However, in the situation where he already had two Transcendent Secret Forces, the comprehension of the third Transcendent Secret Force would be affected by the other two Transcendent Secret Forces, and he would be heavily hindered.
A mountain could not accommodate two tigers, and the principle was the same. A Transcendent Secret Force was like a fierce tiger, and its body was like a mountain.
If a fierce tiger occupied a mountain, it could not accommodate a second fierce tiger. If other fierce tigers wanted to come to the mountain, it was tantamount to invading, and they would be intercepted.
Chen Zong now had two Transcendent Secret Forces, and it was like a mountain with two fierce tigers occupying it. If a third fierce tiger wanted to enter the mountain, it would inevitably be intercepted and attacked by the other two tigers.
However, Chen Zong also believed that as long as he continued to work hard, he would definitely be able to comprehend the third Transcendent Secret Force. It was only a matter of time.
The door was knocked, and a voice came in, "Brother Chen, if you're done cultivating, come and drink. I'll introduce you to my Senior and Junior Brothers."
Besides cultivating, Chen Zong did not forget to rest. He drank wine and enjoyed delicious food with Wu Lingkong.
In this Ancient War City, the restaurants had long been abandoned, so there was no food to be found. However, Chen Zong and Wu Lingkong both had some food in their storage rings, enough for the two of them to eat for a while.
After a few breaths of time, Chen Zong opened the door and walked out.
This pavilion was neither big nor small. Only Chen Zong and Wu Lingkong lived in it. The place where they drank wine was in the lobby.
When Chen Zong and Wu Lingkong arrived, three people were sitting at a table in the lobby. Feeling the aura, the three turned their heads and looked over. Their gazes passed Wu Lingkong and focused on Chen Zong.
Their gazes were curious and also scrutinizing.
"Brother Chen, let me introduce you." Wu Lingkong smiled and reached out to a young man with a square face, "He is our Great Heavenly Thunder Gate's Senior Brother Lei Zheng. She is Third Junior Sister Jiang Hongling, and he is Fourth Junior Brother Lei Feiming."
"Senior Brother, Junior Sister, Junior Brother, this is my sworn friend, Chen Zong." After Wu Lingkong finished introducing his fellow disciples, he introduced Chen Zong to his fellow disciples.
The words' sworn friend 'made Wu Lingkong's fellow disciples' faces change slightly. They were all shocked. Chen Zong's expression also changed. He was touched.
Sworn friend!
This was not a joke.
What was a sworn friend? It was a life and death trust.
"I know Junior Brother Wu's character very well. To be called a sworn friend by him, you are the first. I wonder where Brother Chen is from?" Lei Zheng's eyes stared at Chen Zong. There was a trace of lightning in his eyes as he spoke very directly.
"Senior Brother Lei, I am from the Floating Clouds Territory's Blue Cloud Sect." Chen Zong replied in a neither fast nor slow manner. Since Wu Lingkong regarded him as a friend who had gone through life and death, then it was reasonable for him to address his senior brother as senior brother.
"I know about the Floating Clouds Territory. It is ranked at the bottom of the thirty-six Lower Territories. However, I have never heard of the Blue Cloud Sect." Wu Lingkong's Fourth Junior Brother Lei Feiming spoke first, "Could it be that the Floating Clouds Palace has been replaced by the Blue Cloud Sect?"
"No, the Floating Clouds Palace is still in charge of the Floating Clouds Territory. The Blue Cloud Sect is only a four-star force." Chen Zong said with a smile. His tone was neither too high nor too low. He did not feel embarrassed because he was from the Blue Cloud Sect.
"Four-star force!" Lei Zheng and the other two were startled at first. Then, their faces slightly changed and their eyes changed.
"Junior Brother Wu, when making friends, you have to pay attention. Don't treat every little thing as a sworn friend." Lei Zheng no longer paid attention to Chen Zong and instead said to Wu Lingkong. The meaning behind his words could be understood as long as one wasn't a fool.
Wu Lingkong's face suddenly changed and a cold light flashed across his eyes.
"Eldest Senior Brother is right. Second Senior Brother, I know your character. You have very few friends. Perhaps this person has shown you some kindness, causing you to misunderstand, but think about it carefully. He is just a disciple from a four-star force in a low-level Lower Territory. What qualifications does he have?" If Lei Zheng's words were a bit tactful, then Lei Feiming's words were very direct, without any trace of politeness.
"Fourth Junior Brother, apologize to my friend Chen Zong." Hearing this, Wu Lingkong's face suddenly became cold and his eyes became sharp as he stared at Lei Feiming. In an instant, Lei Feiming felt an indescribable pressure.
"Second Senior Brother, did I say something wrong?" Lei Feiming was surprised by Wu Lingkong's current cultivation and refuted while resisting.
"Second Junior Brother, don't stand in the wrong place." Lei Zheng also released his aura which fell on Wu Lingkong's body. Surprisingly, he had also reached the peak of the Transcendent Realm Sixth Layer.
"Brother Wu, I'll take my leave first." Chen Zong suppressed the anger in his heart and said to Wu Lingkong.
The other party was Wu Lingkong's Senior Brother and Junior Brother. Chen Zong was not willing to have any conflict with them and put Wu Lingkong in a difficult position. This was something a true friend should take into consideration.
However, Chen Zong also had his own principles and bottom line. Insulting and looking down on him was not enough to touch his bottom line.
In addition, taking a step back, even if they fought, Chen Zong wasn't confident he could defeat Wu Lingkong, especially Wu Lingkong's Senior Brother, Lei Zheng, who was at the peak of the Transcendent Realm Sixth Layer and wasn't any weaker than Wu Lingkong.
"Brother Chen, you go back first, I'll look for you later." Wu Lingkong had an apologetic look in his eyes. He had introduced them to each other out of goodwill, hoping that his fellow disciples would get to know Chen Zong and become friends. Unfortunately, things did not develop as he had expected.
Lei Zheng and the others coldly watched Chen Zong leave, neither urging him to stay nor stopping him. In their opinion, a mere disciple from a low-level Lower Province's Four-Star force was not worth mentioning at all.
Faintly, Chen Zong could hear the argument between Wu Lingkong and his Senior Brother.
Chen Zong inhaled a deep breath of air. Soon after, he slowly exhaled. His expression was dark and cold.
Such contempt annoyed Chen Zong.
