There was a great force in Tian Yuan Sacred Region called the Void Temple. The Void Temple's influence was spread throughout the entire Tian Yuan Sacred Region.
Basically, there was a Void Temple branch in every mansion, and they were located in the largest city of each mansion.
Strictly speaking, Xing Yun Mansion wasn't one of the four great forces, but one of the five great forces. The fifth great force was naturally the Void Temple's branch. However, the Void Temple had always maintained a neutral attitude and never participated in the struggles of other forces.
This time, Chen Zong came to the Void Temple's Xing Yun Mansion to use the Void Gate to travel to the Mysterious Underworld Central Area as soon as possible. There, he would be able to meet more geniuses.
However, using the Void Gate came at a price, which was basically an Earth Core Pill.
One had to pay a hundred Earth Core Pills to travel the distance of one mansion. This was a huge price for ordinary cultivators. After all, under normal circumstances, only Saint Rudiment Realm masters could afford Earth Core Pills. Even ordinary First Heaven Saint Rudiment Realm cultivators would find it difficult to take out a hundred Earth Core Pills at once.
Fortunately, Chen Zong had obtained a lot of Earth Core Pills from the Storage Ring of the Ancient Wind Black Fiend Branch's Fifth Heaven Saint Rudiment Realm master. After that, he obtained several other Saint Rudiment Realm cultivators' Storage Rings, which also contained some Earth Core Pills.
In total, there were more than ten thousand Earth Core Pills. Although there weren't as many Earth Core Pills, there were still nearly two thousand of them. As for Heaven Core Pills, there were less than ten of them.
A Transcendent possessing such wealth was something that many Low Level Saint Rudiment Realm masters couldn't compare with.
One hundred Earth Core Pills was nothing to Chen Zong.
There were thirty-two mansions in the Mysterious Underworld Territory. Xing Yun Mansion was four mansions away from the Mysterious Underworld Central Area. In other words, if Chen Zong wanted to reach the Mysterious Underworld Central Area, he would have to go through four portals and pay four hundred Earth Core Pills.
"Sect Master, Chen Zong has left the Liu Family and is heading towards the Void Temple branch."
"Chase after him."
Chen Zong didn't know that he was being targeted by the Sky Wolf Sect. After paying 100 Earth Restoration Pills, he stated his destination. Chen Zong stood on a Void Roulette. The power of the Void Roulette was activated, and Chen Zong's body was immediately bound. There seemed to be countless flowing lights revolving in front of his eyes.
After that, he felt as if he had fallen into a space-time vortex. The feeling of weightlessness filled every inch of his body.
This feeling was hard to describe with words. It seemed like a long time had passed, but in fact, it had only been less than ten breaths. Chen Zong seemed to have been squeezed out of the dark void and landed on a Void Roulette.
In terms of appearance, it looked exactly the same as the Void Roulette from before. It did not seem to have moved at all. Chen Zong wondered if he had been fooled.
However, after walking out of the Void Roulette, he had a different feeling. The aura was different.
Different regions had different customs and customs. All of this was integrated into every inch of land, every building, and every bit of air, settling and accumulating.
However, Chen Zong did not plan to walk around. It was better to reach the central region of Xuanming as soon as possible.
He continued to teleport.
Twice!
Thrice!
Four times!
After paying the price of 400 Earth Restoration Pills, Chen Zong finally arrived at the central region of Xuanming after four teleportations from the Void Temple.
There was a city in the central region of Xuanming called Xuanming City. It was very, very big.
The Void Temple in Xuanming City was much bigger than the Void Temples in other prefectures.
"The Qi of Heaven and Earth here is many times richer and purer than in Yunxing City," Chen Zong thought to himself.
Growing up in such a rich and pure Qi of Heaven and Earth, one's innate talent would be more outstanding. Later cultivation would be smoother, and the chances of a genius being born would be higher.
This was why Chen Zong had come here. It was also why so many geniuses had come from all over the place.
The competition between geniuses was a form of training. After all, every genius had their own uniqueness.
After four consecutive teleportations, the Heavenly Wolf Sect lost track of Chen Zong. They could not catch up with him at all.
"Find out where he went as soon as possible. We can't let him go," the Heavenly Wolf Sect Master did not plan to give up.
"Yes."
"Sect Master, there is one more thing to report. The Young Sect Master plans to go to Xuanming City to fight with other geniuses to build a stronger foundation for breaking through to the Saint Realm."
"Oh, tell him to come see me," the Heavenly Wolf Sect Master nodded and said.
The Young Sect Master was naturally the Young Sect Master of the Heavenly Wolf Sect. He was the only direct disciple of the Heavenly Wolf Sect Master. In the future, he would inherit the position of Sect Master and lead the Heavenly Wolf Sect.
However, the Young Sect Master of the Heavenly Wolf Sect was still relatively young. He was only a half-step Saint.
…
Xuanming City had a long history. It was originally built as a place for various forces in the central region of Xuanming to communicate. Gradually, it evolved into a gathering place. More and more people came here and even settled down here.
Over the years, Xuanming City expanded again and again. Now, it was huge.
There was a vast area here. There were many people here. It was very prosperous.
Therefore, all kinds of industries were developed.
Chen Zong found a restaurant to stay for the time being and enjoyed some good food and wine in the restaurant. At the same time, he inquired about basic information about Xuanming City and even the central region of Xuanming.
Every restaurant's waiter was a nosy person and knew a lot of information. If Chen Zong wanted to know something that was not so secret, he would go to them. Of course, if Chen Zong wanted to know more details, he would either have to threaten them or give them some benefits.
Chen Zong chose the latter.
Why would he threaten others for no reason? It was just paying something insignificant to him, but to the restaurant's waiter, it was a great fortune.
After receiving benefits, the restaurant's waiter smiled and told Chen Zong everything he knew. He gave Chen Zong a more intuitive understanding of the central region of Xuanming.
The Central Region of Xuan Ming was not smaller than any of the prefectures. In fact, it was much larger. Xuan Ming City was not the only city in the Central Region. There were dozens of other cities of various sizes. Of course, none of them could be compared to Xuan Ming City.
There were a total of five forces in the central region of Xuanming.
They were Xuanming Palace, Chaoyang Sect, Goldensword Villa, Sima Family, and Evergreen Fort.
Xuanming Palace was the most powerful force in the entire Xuanming Territory. Of course, the Void Temple's branch was not included.
The Palace Master of Xuanming Palace was the Territory Master of Xuanming Territory. In terms of level, Xuanming Palace was a nine-star force.
As for the Chaoyang Sect, the Golden Sword Villa, the Sima Family, and the Evergreen Fort, they were all Eight Star Forces, just like the 32 Prefectures. However, in terms of foundation, they were still slightly stronger than the 32 Prefectures. They were even more powerful than White Cloud Mountain and the other Eight Star Forces.
The headquarters of these five forces were outside Xuanming City, but they also had stations in Xuanming City.
In addition to these, there were some experts and geniuses.
For example, the Xuanming List was divided into the Xuan List and the Underworld List. There were 108 places in each list.
The Xuan List listed the Saint Rudiment Realm experts in the Xuanming Territory, while the Underworld List listed the Half-saints in the Xuanming Territory.
The Xuanming Territory was so big that there were countless cultivators. Among them, there were countless Half-saints and Saint Rudiment Realm experts. Those who could be listed on the list were all very powerful.
In other words, every Saint Rudiment Realm expert on the Xuan List was at least a Ninth Level Saint Rudiment Realm expert.
This gave Chen Zong a feeling that the Xuanming Territory was much more powerful than the Sky Pillar Upper Province.
"The Underworld List," Chen Zong muttered to himself as he drank the wine.
The Xuan List was far from him, while the Underworld List was closer.
He wondered if he could be listed on the Underworld List with his own strength.
According to the waiter in the restaurant, many high-level Half-saints were not qualified to be listed on the Underworld List.
There were no age restrictions for being listed on the Underworld List. The only restriction was cultivation. Those who had not reached the Saint Rudiment Realm were qualified to be listed.
Therefore, there were some high-level Half-saint experts on the Underworld List. They could not find the opportunity to break through to the Saint Rudiment Realm, so they stayed in the Half-saint Realm for a long time. They kept accumulating and studying to become stronger.
Chen Zong stayed in the inn for the time being. When he was not cultivating, he would walk around the Mysterious Underworld City to get a better understanding of the situation.
On the third day, Chen Zong had basically learned about the situation.
"The first challenge target …" Chen Zong stared at a name on the white paper, and a glint flashed in his eyes.
Why did he come to the Xuanming Territory?
Naturally, it was to meet more geniuses and compete with them to hone himself.
It was common to take the initiative to challenge others if one wanted to compete with them and hone himself.
The target that Chen Zong chose to challenge was a member on the Underworld List.
Lin Heming was ranked 105th on the Underworld List. He had a high-level Half-saint cultivation and was over 100 years old. He was not a powerful genius, but he had been a high-level Half-saint for many years. His strength was extraordinary, so he was ranked 105th on the Underworld List. He had been challenged many times, but he was still undefeated and maintained his ranking.
Chen Zong knew that his strength was not weak. He was stronger than an ordinary high-level Half-saint, but he did not know how strong he was.
Lin Heming might be a good opponent for him to test his strength. It just so happened that Lin Heming was currently in the Xuanming City.
He wrote a challenge letter and asked someone to send it to Lin Heming's residence. This represented an official challenge.
No matter what, Lin Heming was considered a reputable figure in Mysterious Underworld City.
Chen Zong had always been a man of principle. As long as they did not deliberately provoke him, he would be modest and polite to them.
In a quaint and secluded courtyard in the northeast corner of the Xuanming City, Lin Heming received a challenge letter from a servant. He opened it and smiled.
"A nobody wants to challenge me," Lin Heming said to himself.
"Master, this must be another ignorant person who has just arrived in the Xuanming City and is eager to become famous. Coincidentally, you are in the city," the servant beside him said. The servant next to him agreed. Soon after, he said, "I reckon that this person has also inquired about some information. He knows that Master is kind-hearted and would never be heavy-handed to a challenger. That's why he dared to send a challenge notice."
This was true. Lin Heming had only defeated his challengers in the past and had never seriously injured them.
It was common to be seriously injured when challenging others. Basically, no one would seek revenge because of this.
