The sky was blue, and the clouds were vast.
A month flew by.
This time, Chen Zong directly went into seclusion for a month. He stopped all visits and challenges, and focused on improving his cultivation and strength.
His body was tall and straight, and a strong power reverberated in his body.
Even though his cultivation was still at the Intermediate Half-saint level, his Half-saint power was more condensed and powerful. Moreover, with sufficient resources, his body refining cultivation had naturally broken through to the Intermediate Half-saint level.
The reason Chen Zong came out of seclusion was because of the message from the Xuanming Token.
The Xuanming Small World was about to open.
The Xuanming Small World was about to open, and all fights stopped. Everyone who had the Xuanming Token immediately rushed to the Xuanming Valley outside the Xuanming Palace.
The Xuanming Valley was under the control of the Xuanming Palace, but it was some distance away.
Zheng Tuo and Nan Wu Kong came to find him.
"Brother Chen, let's go together," Zheng Tuo invited.
Zheng Tuo and Nan Wu Kong did not come from a powerful force. The force they came from was a seven-star force, which was not comparable to an eight-star force, let alone a nine-star one.
A seven-star force was naturally very powerful to those small forces and rogue cultivators, but it was nothing to an eight-star or nine-star force.
Although Chen Zong was a rogue cultivator, Zheng Tuo and Nan Wu Kong admired him very much, especially Nan Wu Kong. At first, he looked down on him, but now he was completely convinced.
"Okay." Chen Zong also agreed to go with them, and they walked out of the Xuanming District together.
The distance from the Xuanming City to the Xuanming Valley was actually not far, but it was not close either. With their speed, it would take them about ten days to arrive.
Of course, they would not just go there. The Xuanming City had already made arrangements for them to ride on flying monsters.
These flying Monster Beasts were High-Order Monster Beasts, equivalent to Saint Realm masters, and had been domesticated to serve as transportation.
High up in the sky, there was one person on each of the three flying monsters. One was Chen Zong, another was Zheng Tuo, and the last was Nan Wu Kong.
A gust of wind blew in their faces. It was as if it could blow everything away.
However, Chen Zong and the other two were sitting on the back of the flying demonic beast. They were as steady as a mountain and did not move an inch.
The flying Demonic Beast spread out its wide wings and flapped them fiercely. It stirred up a gust of wind and propelled itself forward. It was as swift as an arrow leaving the bow.
At this moment, two figures flew past from the side. One was tall and thin, and the other was round. The tall and thin man was expressionless. His eyes were bulging and lifeless, and he looked like a zombie.
The rotund man was holding a large roasted beast leg that was dripping with oil and was gnawing on it.
"Brother Chen, they are the prodigies from the Black Ink Region, Zhao Fang and Zhao Yuan. They are known as the Perimeter Dual Masters." Zheng Tuo transmitted his voice to Chen Xiaolian. "The fat man is called Zhao Fang, and the skinny man is called Zhao Yuan."
"Zhao Fang … Zhao Yuan …" Chen Zong was a little stunned.
Looking at the fat man's round figure, especially when he was sitting on the back of the flying demonic beast, he looked like a ball. He was actually not called Zhao Yuan, but Zhao Fang.
As for the other person, she was as thin as a bamboo pole. Her name was Zhao Yuan.
This name was really strange.
The two of them were from the Foreign Region. They had defeated the prodigies from the Dark Nether Territory's Dark Ranking and obtained the Dark Nether Token. To a certain extent, they were here to share the Dark Nether Territory's resources.
However, this had nothing to do with Chen Zong.
In the end, Chen Zong was also here to share the Dark Nether Territory's resources. After all, Chen Zong was not from the Foreign Region, but from outside Tian Yuan Sacred Region.
Hundreds of flying Demonic Beasts flew out of Dark Nether City one after another. It was a spectacular sight.
Half a day later, the flying Demonic Beasts landed in front of a valley.
The valley was dark and emitted a cold chill. It was Dark Nether Valley.
Two black-robed men stood at the entrance of Dark Nether Valley. They were expressionless. Their cold eyes swept across, and a trace of Saint Rudiment Stage aura filled the air.
These two men were from Dark Nether Palace.
"Show me your Dark Nether Token," one of them said. His voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears.
Everyone took out their Dark Nether Tokens. Only those with a Dark Nether Token were qualified to step into Dark Nether Valley and enter the Dark Nether Small World that was about to open.
The temperature within the Mysterious Dark Valley was much lower than the outside. The pitch black ground, pitch black rocks, pitch black vegetation, and traces of a cold aura constantly emanated from within.
The valley did not look big. One could see the end of it at a glance. There was nothing to hide.
More than a hundred people entered the valley, and it immediately brought some vitality to the dead valley.
The hundred people spread out. Some closed their eyes to rest, while others sized each other up.
A few cold and sharp gazes stared at Chen Zong. He felt as if there was a blade on his back, as if it was going to pierce through him.
Chen Zong swept his gaze over.
Si Ma Li!
Sheng Yuan!
Other than him, there were some people from the Sima Family and Dark Nether Palace.
Both Si Ma Li and Sheng Yuan had been defeated by his sword, but they challenged him again.
Si Ma Li was arrogant. He wanted to teach Chen Zong a lesson, but he was defeated by Chen Zong instead. He was humiliated, so he held a grudge. Recently, he had been training hard, and his strength had improved. He wanted to avenge his previous humiliation.
As for Sheng Yuan, he wanted to snatch Chen Zong's Dark Nether Token, but he was humiliated. For a period of time, he was treated as a joke. He was also humiliated. His hatred for Chen Zong could not be washed away.
During this period of time, Sheng Yuan had also been training hard. Perhaps it was the pressure from the humiliation that made his strength improve.
Originally, at this level, it was already very difficult to improve his strength further. He didn't expect that because of this humiliation, his strength would improve even further.
However, Sheng Yuan would rather not.
This humiliation was like a shadow that could not be washed away.
Only by defeating Chen Zong and then torturing him to death would he be able to let go of this feeling.
The other sky-prides of the Sima Family were hostile to Chen Zong because Chen Zong had defeated Si Ma Li. While Si Ma Li was humiliated, it also affected them to a certain extent.
The second reason was the most important one. He had rejected Young Master Sima's invitation.
Young Master Sima was the ninth sky-pride on the Dark Leaderboard and the first genius of the Sima Family. He had personally invited him, but he had been rejected. Not only was he rejected, but he had even said that he would be overtaken. This was unacceptable to the Sima Family.
Therefore, it was normal for the Sima Family to be hostile to Chen Zong.
The disciples of the Dark Nether Palace were hostile to Chen Zong because Chen Zong had defeated Sheng Yuan.
Chen Zong had not seen many of the 108 sky-prides on the Dark Leaderboard.
Now, all 108 sky-prides were gathered here.
The most eye-catching ones were nine sky-prides.
Young Master Sima, Sima Huanyu, was one of them. In addition, Chen Zong also noticed a young man in a long green robe with a warm expression. The aura around him was vigorous.
This person was the tenth sky-pride on the Dark Leaderboard, the disciple of the Evergreen Fort, Tang Qingyuan.
The young man in the black gilded battle armor had eyes like a tiger's and a shocking aura. He was like a general who had won hundreds of battles on the battlefield. He was the eighth sky-pride on the Dark Leaderboard, Hu Lieshan.
Hu Lieshan was not a disciple of the Dark Nether Territory's five major forces. Instead, he was born in a small family in the 32 prefectures. He had been expelled by his family for some unknown reason, but he had a shocking fortuitous encounter that made him extraordinary.
It could be said that Hu Lieshan was the leader of the younger generation among the small forces and itinerant cultivators.
The small forces and itinerant cultivators were actually considered to have a common enemy. After all, in the eyes of the major forces, those small forces and itinerant cultivators were no different.
Although Hu Lieshan had a fortuitous encounter and had advanced by leaps and bounds, he was now ranked eighth on the Dark Leaderboard.
The seventh sky-pride on the Dark Leaderboard was Hai Weiyi, a disciple of the Dark Nether Palace. She was dressed in a water-blue silk robe with tassels around her body.
The sixth sky-pride on the Dark Leaderboard was Sima Dayan from the Sima family.
The fifth sky-pride on the Dark Nether Palace was Lin Chaoqun.
The fourth sky-pride on the Dark Leaderboard was Tang Qingwei, a disciple of the Evergreen Fort. She was Tang Qingyuan's younger sister.
The third sky-pride on the Dark Leaderboard was Zhao Gu from the Chaoyang Sect.
The second sky-pride on the Dark Leaderboard was Jian Lingxiao, a disciple of the Goldensword Villa. It was said that his original name was not Jian Lingxiao, but he had changed his name to make up his mind.
The first sky-pride on the Dark Nether Palace was Xu Mubai, the strongest disciple of the Dark Nether Palace.
However, Chen Zong did not see Xu Mubai.
Although he had never seen him before, he had heard that Xu Mubai usually wore a long black and white robe. However, none of the 108 sky-prides wore a long black and white robe.
As for the sixth sky-pride on the Dark Leaderboard, Sima Dayan, he was ranked higher than Sima Huanyu. However, he was not the leader of the Sima family's younger generation. He was not a peerless sky-pride. Due to some reasons and the fact that he had more time to cultivate than the other sky-prides, he had built his powerful strength.
However, his strength was almost fixed and could not be improved. It was also difficult for him to break through to the Saint Rudiment Stage.
It could be said that Sima Dayan was the oldest sky-pride on the Dark Leaderboard. He was dozens of years older than the second oldest sky-pride.
He was a person who had exhausted his potential. Even if he broke through to the Saint Rudiment Stage, he would not be outstanding. Such a person might be in the limelight for a while, but it was only a matter of time before he was surpassed. In that case, he was not qualified to be the leader of the Sima family.
The Dark Nether Palace was the strongest. They had three peerless sky-prides who were ranked in the top ten of the Dark Leaderboard.
Although the Golden Sword Villa only had one person who was ranked in the top ten of the Dark Leaderboard, he was ranked second. It was very shocking.
The top ten sky-prides on the Dark Leaderboard each had a unique and overbearing aura. Chen Zong's eyes narrowed.
He was no match for them!
Currently, he was no match for them at all.
In fact, Chen Zong was not very confident that he could defeat them even if he used the Heavenly Fiend Force Field.
After all, every peerless sky-pride who was ranked in the top ten of the Dark Leaderboard had extraordinary means.
Soon after, Chen Zong sensed a familiar gaze. When he turned his head to look, he was slightly taken aback. Then, he smiled.
Wu Feng!
The owner of the gaze was Saber Master's disciple, Wu Feng.
It turned out that he had also defeated a sky-pride on the Dark Leaderboard and replaced him. He had become a newcomer on the Dark Leaderboard and obtained the Dark Nether Token.
