Tie Zhan did not dare to make a move in the end because this was the Zhen Wu Mega City. If he made a move, he might not be killed because he was the son of the Iron Martial Army's commander, but he would definitely be expelled.
If he was expelled from the Zhen Wu Mega City at this time, not only would he lose face, but he would also lose the opportunity to challenge the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet.
It was a very unpleasant feeling to be unable to vent one's anger. Especially for someone like Tie Zhan, it was extremely uncomfortable and oppressive. His eyes were so ferocious that no one dared to look him in the eye.
However, Chen Zong did not pay any attention to him and left on his own.
In the Zhen Wu Mega City, Chen Zong could not make a move. Otherwise, he would be expelled or killed. It would not be good.
After wandering around for more than an hour, Chen Zong returned to his room in the inn. This room was relatively ordinary. The best rooms had been booked by others. However, to Chen Zong, this environment was not bad.
In an instant, Chen Zong removed all distracting thoughts and started to comprehend.
Taiyuan Cloud-scraping Technique was cultivated to the seventh level. Although he had comprehended the eighth and ninth level, he had reached a limit. It was very difficult to improve further unless he had enough experience to stimulate his potential.
Chen Zong came out to train for this purpose.
He did not cultivate the Taiyuan Cloud-scraping Technique, but he could cultivate other aspects.
For example, swordsmanship, body movement, etc. However, this room was not suitable for cultivating swordsmanship. Chen Zong comprehended the Heart Sword Sutra.
However, the comprehension efficiency of the Heart Sword Sutra was not high.
In a year's time, Chen Zong only expanded the Heart Realm from three meters to four meters.
The expansion of the Heart Realm increased the coverage of the Heart Realm. That was all.
Chen Zong did not know what would happen if he continued to comprehend and expand the Heart Sword Sutra. However, the Heart Sword Sutra had helped him a lot. It was necessary for him to continue comprehending until he completely comprehended it.
Heart Sword Saint!
Chen Zong reckoned that this was once a supreme expert of the Great Saint Realm, and he was not inferior to the Aeon Ice Empress.
In the following days, Chen Zong would occasionally go out to eat some delicious food and walk around the Zhen Wu Giant City. As for the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet, it was completely sealed off. It was impossible to get close to it. From a distance, one could only see a sword-shaped tablet standing on the ground, like a giant sword pointing to the sky, exuding an unparalleled mysterious and powerful aura.
From a distance, Chen Zong could feel the aura that seemed to come from the primordial times. He was greatly shocked. Unfortunately, he couldn't see it from a close distance. He could only wait until it opened.
Time passed by slowly. In the blink of an eye, it was the last day. Tomorrow would be the opening day of the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet.
The sky was starting to brighten. It should have still been a dream, but Zhen Wu City was bustling with activity.
Today was the opening day of the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet. Naturally, everyone woke up early, packed up quickly, and set off. Some of them didn't sleep at all last night and had already waited outside the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet.
For Transcendents, as long as they didn't fight or comprehend profound mysteries, they could stay awake for several days and nights without any problems.
"It's finally opening."
"Yeah, I've been here all day."
Everyone was excited.
The Zhen Wu Battle Guards were also mobilized. Half of them were gathered around the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet, forming a defensive barrier.
As for the other Zhen Wu Battle Guards, they were distributed around the Zhen Wu Giant City to prevent malicious people from taking advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble.
Under the Zhen Wu Battle Guards' order, no one dared to break in. Everyone entered in order and approached the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet.
Chen Zong slowly walked forward in the crowd. The aura of the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet became more and more obvious and stronger.
The Zhen Wu Battle Tablet was pitch-black and a hundred meters tall. It stood on the ground and seemed to be integrated with the entire Zhen Wu Giant City.
When the Zhen Wu Giant City was built, the aura of the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet was indeed integrated into it. Over time, the two became connected and became one.
Everyone was stopped a kilometer away from the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet and couldn't get any closer.
Chen Zong gazed at the Zhen Wu Battle Stele and slightly raised his head to look at it. The Zhen Wu Battle Stele was a single entity. Although it was only a hundred meters tall, it had a majestic aura of ten thousand meters. It was as if an ancient sword mountain was standing tall and suppressing everything.
Chen Zong also noticed that there were many pale golden words from top to bottom on the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet. They were names.
According to what Xu Zhanlong had said, the names left behind by the challengers of the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet were a kind of record. Therefore, not everyone could leave behind a golden name. Only the champion of each session had the qualification to do so.
Chen Zong stared at the pale golden names, looking from top to bottom one by one.
Heavenly Lord Jiang!
Xi Lichen!
Zhang Zichu!
…
There weren't many names, only 39 in total.
Chen Zong couldn't help but have a question.
According to what Xu Zhanlong had said, the Zhen Wu Battle Monument had existed for many years, and it only opened once every ten years. In that case, there should be a winner every time. If that was the case, why were there only thirty-nine names on the Zhen Wu Battle Monument?
Could it be that the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet had only been opened 39 times?
It didn't make sense. At least from what Chen Zong knew, the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet had been opened more than a hundred times.
No less than a hundred times, but only 39 names were on it. Xu Zhanlong's estimation was not accurate enough. It wasn't that Xu Zhanlong deliberately hid it, but that even he misunderstood it.
However, Chen Zong didn't want to dig into it, because there was no need to.
What good would it do him to figure out the reason?
Probably not. Since that was the case, why should he waste his time on it?
At this moment, four figures quickly flew over from the City Lord's Mansion and stopped at the four corners of the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet. Each of them exuded an astonishing aura.
Chen Zong noticed that the aura of one of the figures was the strongest. In comparison, it was not inferior to the five Dao Masters of White Cloud Mountain. It was probably the City Lord of Zhen Wu Giant City.
As for the other three, although they were not as strong as the City Lord of Zhen Wu Giant City, their auras were also very powerful. They were all Mastery Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouses.
The four figures all exuded an astonishing aura. They formed seals with their hands and a series of seals condensed in the void, exuding a dazzling brilliance like the scorching sun.
"Open!" An earth-shattering sound rang out, as if it came from beyond the heavens. It was as mighty as thunder, and it reverberated through the void.
Rumbling sounds could be heard incessantly, like the roar of thunder and the powerful tsunamis.
The four seals instantly blasted down and hit the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet. Suddenly, the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet shone brightly. The thirty-nine names on it seemed to have detached themselves from the Battle Tablet and flew around it, emitting an unparalleled golden light that illuminated all directions.
Each golden name released a different aura fluctuation.
Mighty, vigorous, overbearing, tricky, cold, mysterious, icy, scorching, violent, pure, ethereal, peaceful, dark … After about ten breaths, the thirty-nine golden names fell down again and were branded on the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet. The Zhen Wu Battle Tablet was now covered in a layer of golden light that flowed on the hundred-meter-tall tablet like water.
"The Zhen Wu Battle Tablet has been opened. Enter according to your token number. Only ten people are allowed to enter at a time. Those who violate the order will be expelled immediately." The City Lord of Zhen Wu's voice resounded through the heavens and the earth. It was deafening as it blasted into everyone's ears.
"I … I'm Number One … Haha …"
"Move, move, move, I'm Number Two."
"I'm Number Five."
The first batch of people to enter was numbered one to ten, each of them filled with excitement as they held their tokens and walked up to the True Martial Battle Tablet. After passing their tokens to the Saint Realm True Martial Battle Guards, they were allowed to pass and walk to the bottom of the True Martial Battle Tablet.
These ten people stood around the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet in order, stretched out their hands and pushed their Spirit Qi towards the Battle Tablet. Suddenly, an invisible force spread out and the bodies of these ten people were covered in a watery golden light, as if they had become one with the Battle Tablet.
At the same time, the thirty-nine golden names on the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet quickly shrank and began to appear one by one, from top to bottom, a total of one thousand names.
Those 1,000 names were left behind by those who had challenged the Zhenwu Battle Tablet in the past. They were the top 1,000 names since ancient times.
Since ancient times, the Zhen Wu Battle Monument had been opened every ten years. Up until now, it had been opened countless times. Every time, there would be thousands of people participating in the challenge. Perhaps, there would be hundreds of thousands of people or even millions of people participating in the challenge. And these thousand people were considered as the most outstanding ones.
One had to know that in order to challenge the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet, one must first pass the assessment of the Zhen Wu Giant City's Battle Division. This assessment alone was enough to eliminate most people. Only a small number of people were qualified, and these small number of people could be called true geniuses, elites among geniuses.
Among hundreds of thousands or even millions of elite geniuses, it was easy to imagine how outstanding the best one thousand people were.
Of the one thousand names, thirty-nine were golden and exuded a golden light. Below them were silver-white names, about a hundred or so. Below them were bronze names, about three hundred in number, and below that were black iron names.
"Gold is the highest and black iron is the lowest. How are they judged?" Chen Zong was secretly curious.
On the other hand, among the names of the same color, was there a difference between high and low?
Perhaps he would only know when he challenged the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet.
Everyone had their own thoughts and ideas. Some were watching quietly, while others were whispering to each other in low voices.
After about ten breaths, suddenly, one of the golden lights shattered and a figure was bounced back by an invisible force. In an instant, he was sent flying more than ten meters away from the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet and sat on the ground.
"So short."
"There's definitely no ranking."
Seeing that person being bounced back, someone suddenly whispered.
The person who was bounced back had a confused look on his face. After three breaths, he came to his senses and realized that he had failed the challenge. His result was terrible, and he could not help but smile bitterly.
