Fifth Heaven, Yemo Heaven, Primordial Palace.
In a grand and exquisite hall, everything seemed so harmonious and natural, and it contained an indescribable realm.
There were five Primordial Clan members in the palace, each of them exuding an extremely shocking aura. That aura seemed to be in harmony with the Heavenly Dao.
Ao Wu was among them.
The Primordial Clan member sitting at the head of the table had the most profound and mysterious aura. His eyes seemed to contain endless mysteries as they pierced through the void and landed on Ao Wu.
"Ao Wu, the member you made an exception to recruit is not that great." This person's voice was ethereal, neither high nor low, and there was no accusation in it, but it made Ao Wu's expression change.
"Palace Master, I made an error in judgment." Ao Wu immediately stood up and responded with an ugly expression, but he still explained, "Originally, when I saw that the human was a third-rank void being, but was able to obtain a fifth-rank evaluation, surpassing many others, I guessed that perhaps this human was extraordinarily talented, but was limited by the void rules. That was why I made an exception to recruit him, thinking that he might be a great general for Primordial, but I didn't expect him to be so disappointing."
"Ao Wu, the human you made an exception to recruit has been defeated in a row recently." Before the palace master could speak again, the other Primordial Clan members laughed one after another.
"It's not a big deal if he lost to us Primordial Clan members, but even those from the Fourth and Third Heavens couldn't win against him. Humph, what a disgrace."
"With the cultivation environment of Yemo Heaven, he couldn't even cultivate the first level of the supreme technique after ten years. This kind of talent is too weak."
"From the looks of it, his performance in the trial grounds was only temporary, just like that meteor."
"Since ancient times, such people have performed amazingly at a certain stage, but it's usually temporary. It's not surprising that they can't withstand the test. After all, he's only a third-rank void being, and a human without any special talent."
"Recently, the juniors in Primordial have been very dissatisfied, and they have all given me feedback that a third-rank void being is not qualified to be on the same level as them."
Sentence after sentence, Ao Wu's expression became more and more ugly.
"Ao Wu, since you've made an exception to recruit this person, I'll leave it to you to deal with him." "Give him two choices. Either he leaves Primordial, or he becomes a servant if he wants to stay." The Palace Master's voice rang out once more in an unhurried manner.
"Yes, I'll deal with it right away." Ao Wu bowed, then turned and left, exploding with shocking speed toward the Heartsword Peak. Before long, he was there.
Above the Heart Sword Palace, Ao Wu stood in the air and looked down, as if he could see through everything.
"Chen Zong, come out and see me." Ao Wu's tone was majestic, with a hint of anger. As his terrifying aura spread out, all the living beings on the Heart Sword Peak trembled.
After all, in the entire Heart Sword Peak, the most powerful person was Jiao Yi, who was only at the Divine Phase Realm. He was far inferior to Ao Wu.
Chen Zong was in closed-door training. He planned to master the first level of the Annihilation Force of the Nine Heavens' Breath Gale. He believed that as long as he mastered it, there would be a significant change in his strength.
However, when he heard the voice, Chen Zong recognized that it was Ao Wu's voice. He immediately came out of closed-door training.
"Master Ao Wu." Chen Zong bowed.
"Chen Zong, you disappoint me." Ao Wu's eyes were cold and sharp, filled with anger. A terrifying aura descended, as if it wanted to crush Chen Zong. Chen Zong's body trembled, he felt as if his internal organs had suffered a heavy blow. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, but with his strong will, he didn't fall. "The people of the Origin Clan challenged you, and you lost. It's reasonable, it's understandable. However, in the next seven challenges, there were challenges from the disciples of the Fourth Layer of Heaven, and you lost again. Considering the difference in your background, it's still understandable. However, in the Third Layer of Heaven, you lost as well.
What do you have to say? "Chen Zong's expression changed slightly, but he didn't panic.
"Master Ao Wu, I have nothing to say." Chen Zong replied calmly.
Indeed, he had been challenged ten times, and he lost all ten times.
There were five challenges from the fourth heaven true disciples. They were respectively from the same batch of trial takers as him, Great Rock Force Mo Luogu, and so on. They had all begun to cultivate the first layer of the supreme art. Their strength had immediately transformed, and they were completely different.
As for the two challenges from the Third Layer of Heaven, they were from Wu Xiu and the others who had also mastered the first layer of the supreme technique.
Chen Zong realized that the difference between those who had mastered the supreme technique and those who hadn't was very obvious.
Therefore, he lost all ten challenges in a row, and lost all his Cosmos God Crystals. He even used up some pills.
It could be said that Chen Zong didn't have a single Cosmos God Crystal on him. He was simply poor.
"Hmph, I guess you have nothing to say. The treatment of a true disciple, the cultivation environment of the Fifth Layer of Heaven, and you didn't improve at all. Disappointing, I'm extremely disappointed." Ao Wu snorted again. "Now, I'll give you two choices. Either you continue to stay in Primal, but your status will be demoted from an official member to an attendant. If you perform well in the future, there's still hope for you to become an official member again. Or you leave Primal."
The last four words were like rolling thunder, and everyone on the Heart Sword Peak turned pale with fright.
Chen Zong's expression also changed involuntarily.
Two choices, demotion to an attendant, and leaving Primal.
How to choose?
Without any hesitation, Chen Zong made his choice. His expression was solemn as he bowed to Ao Wu. "Master Ao Wu, thank you for taking me in as an exception. But now, I've disappointed you. I'm sorry, but my choice is to leave Primal."
Ao Wu's expression was cold, and the void seemed to be frozen, making it hard for people to breathe or move.
Every breath felt as long as a year.
After three breaths, Ao Wu spoke again. "Alright, since you've made your choice, we'll do as you wish. But Primal isn't a place where you can join or leave as you wish. The only way is to expel you. Also, everything you've obtained in Primal must be returned."
The word 'expel' caused Chen Zong's expression to change slightly, but it soon returned to normal.
Leaving and being expelled, the result was the same, but the meaning was different. One was to leave by oneself, and leave with dignity. The other was to be expelled, and it was very embarrassing.
But Chen Zong wasn't dissatisfied, or at least didn't express any dissatisfaction. Because facing a colossus like Primal, any dissatisfaction was useless.
The other thing that troubled Chen Zong was the Cosmos God Crystals.
The resources he obtained from Primal were five hundred Cosmos God Crystals and some pills. Other than that, there was the time he had to enter the Refinement Dao World and Innocent Mountain.
Chen Zong hadn't used the time he had to enter the Refinement Dao World and Innocent Mountain. Thus, Primal could take it back, leaving behind the portion that belonged to Chen Zong when he became a fifth layer true disciple.
The problem lay in the Cosmos God Crystals.
In the previous ten battles, Chen Zong was defeated time and time again. For every defeat, he had to hand over a hundred Cosmos God Crystals. For the tenth battle, he didn't even have a hundred Cosmos God Crystals, and he had to take out a portion of pills as compensation.
But now, Chen Zong didn't even have a single Cosmos God Crystal. Even the Cosmos God Crystal within the Black Wind Bird puppet had been taken away. Oh, this Black Wind Bird puppet was given to him by Primal, and now, it had to be taken back.
Without half a Cosmos God Crystal on him, Chen Zong naturally couldn't return it.
As for those pills, other than the portion that was used to compensate the Cosmos God Crystals after he lost, there was still a portion left. It was enough for him to return it to Primal, and there was still a portion left.
"In view of the fact that you lost ten battles and lost a total of 1,000 Cosmos God Crystals, I can make the decision to allow you to postpone it for ten years." Ao Wu was also aware of Chen Zong's situation. He coldly said, "But there is an interest. Within ten years, you have to return 500 Cosmos God Crystals. Other than that, you have to pay an additional 100 Cosmos God Crystals every year. If you can't do it, you have to use the comprehension time in the Refinement Dao World to replace it."
The first part of Ao Wu's words made Chen Zong heave a sigh of relief. But the latter part made Chen Zong's expression change.
500 Cosmos God Crystals, and he had to return it within ten years. Furthermore, he had to pay an additional 100 Cosmos God Crystals every year. It was simply terrifying. If he had to return it after ten years, he would have to pay 1,500 Cosmos God Crystals. And if he didn't return it within ten years, he would have to use the comprehension time in the Refinement Dao World to replace it.
500 Cosmos God Crystals might not be a small amount, but the comprehension opportunity in the Refinement Dao World was extremely rare. Not to mention 500 Cosmos God Crystals, even 5,000 Cosmos God Crystals couldn't be bought. After all, the comprehension opportunity in the Refinement Dao World wasn't bought with Cosmos God Crystals. One had to complete some missions to be qualified to obtain it.
Ao Wu's actions seemed to be considerate of Chen Zong, but in fact, he was digging a hole and planning to bury Chen Zong.
Although Chen Zong was somewhat shocked and angry, there was nothing he could do.
This was the difference between them.
"I will definitely return enough Cosmos God Crystals within ten years." Chen Zong felt aggrieved, but he still took a deep breath and replied word by word.
"Remember your words. You only have ten years." Ao Wu coldly glanced at Chen Zong, then turned and left.
Looking at the back of Ao Wu, Chen Zong only felt a ball of flame burning in his chest. It was burning fiercely, and waves of heat kept rolling over and over. It was like a volcano's magma that could erupt at any time and destroy everything.
This made Chen Zong feel that the breath he exhaled carried an indescribable heat.
Taking deep breaths, over and over again, his chest that was about to explode gradually calmed down.
It was useless to be angry. Only by feeling ashamed and working hard to improve oneself was the right path.
Especially in a place like this where he had no one to rely on. The only thing he could rely on was his own strength. When he was strong enough, the one who should be angry was others, not himself.
"Next, I will go into seclusion with all my strength. I will strive to master the first level of the Annihilation Force of the Nine Heavens Breath Gale in the shortest time possible. I will do my best to improve myself and become stronger before challenging others." Chen Zong clenched his fists and said to himself. His figure flashed and he immediately rushed into the Heart Sword Palace to continue his seclusion.
This time, he was like a hidden dragon waiting to soar to the Nine Heavens in the future.
