"The 5,000th place is my limit now," Chen Zong said to himself. He ended his challenge and left the Divine Lord Ranking List.
Chen Zong's name had appeared in the 5,000th place on the Divine Lord Ranking List.
Five battles, five victories, starting from the 6,660th place and ending at the 5,000th place. Of course, the so-called limit referred to the limit without using divine techniques.
There were very few fourth realm cultivators who had mastered divine techniques. Even among the cultivators on the Divine Lord Ranking List, only a very small number of them had mastered the surface of divine techniques and had shocking trump cards.
The power of divine techniques was naturally very strong. Chen Zong thought that if he used these two divine techniques, it would not be a problem for him to enter the top 4,000, or even higher. However, it was too shocking for a fourth realm cultivator to master divine techniques. Moreover, it could not be used as a normal method, so he kept it to himself.
"The 5,000th place!"
"Not bad."
"To be able to make it to the 5,000th place as soon as he entered the Divine Lord Ranking List. It is indeed extraordinary."
Soon, the cultivators of Taihao Mountain knew the result and were all surprised.
The 5,000th place and the 6,000th place were two completely different concepts.
Although Taihao Mountain was a holy land, it was not the only holy land. Moreover, the universe was so vast that there were only 6,666 people on the Divine Lord Ranking List. In the entire Taihao Mountain, there were not many prodigies on the Divine Lord Ranking List. In total, there were only slightly more than 200 people. Now, Chen Zong was one of these 200 people.
Of course, there were many fourth realm cultivators in the entire Taihao Mountain. It was not an exaggeration to say that there were thousands of them. A mere 200 or so was only a small proportion.
Not long after Chen Zong left the Divine Lord Ranking List, he was summoned.
The Peak Lord had summoned him!
"The Peak Lord wants to see me." Chen Zong was a little surprised.
The Peak Lord, the Tianguang Peak Lord, was a seventh realm Emperor-level cultivator. It was very likely that he was not an ordinary Emperor-level cultivator.
The Peak Master of Tianguang looked like a middle-aged man, but his hair on both sides of his temples was white, and his energy was restrained, giving off a carefree aura. Combined with his ordinary appearance, he wouldn't be noticed in a crowd.
However, such a person was a powerful Seventh Realm cultivator.
"Disciple Chen Zong greets the Peak Lord." Chen Zong immediately saluted with his sword.
The Peak Lord did not respond. Instead, he looked at Chen Zong with interest, as if he wanted to see through Chen Zong.
"No need for formalities." After a few breaths, the Peak Lord smiled and said, "Sit."
"Thank you, Peak Lord." Chen Zong sat down on the stone bench opposite the Peak Lord, his back as straight as a sword.
"Congratulations on your ranking on the Divine Lord List," the Peak Lord smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I've summoned you here because I have a mission for you."
"Peak Lord, please speak," Chen Zong responded immediately.
"First, I'll tell you the reward for completing this quest." The Peak Lord smiled. "Sword disciple."
Chen Zong revealed a look of astonishment.
"If you complete this quest, you can be promoted to sword disciple even if you haven't reached the Fifth Realm." The Peak Lord smiled and said, "In addition, you'll receive 100,000 contribution points."
Chen Zong's eyes widened when he heard this. His heart skipped a beat, but he did not immediately agree.
"Peak Lord, I'm afraid I can't complete this quest as a Fourth Realm cultivator," Chen Zong said after he regained his composure.
Although he had successfully entered the Divine Lord List, Chen Zong did not become arrogant because of this. There were many people who were stronger than him. Not to mention those above the Fourth Realm, just in the Fourth Realm alone, there were more than a few thousand people on the Divine Lord List who were stronger than him. There were also many people who could not enter the Divine Lord List for various reasons but had the strength of a Divine Lord List.
To be able to obtain 100,000 contribution points and be promoted to sword disciple as an exception, such a reward was undoubtedly shocking. In that case, the difficulty of this quest would naturally be extremely high.
Although Chen Zong was tempted, he did not lose his rationality.
"Don't worry. Under normal circumstances, you can complete this quest." The Peak Lord smiled and said.
Since the Peak Lord said so, Chen Zong immediately agreed.
"Do you know the secrets of the universe?" The Peak Lord did not directly mention the quest. Instead, he asked a question in return. Chen Zong was slightly stunned.
The secrets of the universe?
This sounded too general. Chen Zong did not know how to answer.
"The universe is actually divided into different levels." The Peak Lord said, "We're at the surface of the universe."
"The surface of the universe." Chen Zong could not help but be stunned. He immediately remembered that the ancient records he had read before recorded that the lairs of vicious demons were located in the interlayer of the universe.
"The surface, interlayer, inner layer, and core layer. These are the four basic levels of the universe. In between each level, there's also a name for the interlayer." The Peak Lord smiled and explained, "In the surface of the universe, the Origin Tribe is in charge. However, in the interlayer, inner layer, and core layer, they are not."
"This time, the quest you need to carry out is related to the interlayer universe," the Peak Lord said.
Chen Zong was instantly shocked.
The interlayer universe!
Although he was not sure, Chen Zong instinctively felt that it was not a simple quest.
Following the Peak Lord's explanation, Chen Zong's concept of the universe became clearer and clearer. He finally understood the content of this quest.
The four levels of the universe could be considered as four universes to a certain extent. For example, the Divine General Ranking, Divine Lord Ranking, and Divine King Ranking only focused on the surface of the universe. As for the interlayer, inner layer, and core layer, they were not involved.
As for the powerhouses in the surface of the universe, their exploration of the universe was limited to the inner layer. As for the core layer, it was very mysterious. Very few people knew about it. Not to mention the core layer, even the inner layer was very mysterious. Only Level-7 Emperor-level powerhouses were qualified to enter.
As for the interlayer, if one did not have the strength of a Level-6 Emperor-level powerhouse, entering it was basically a dead end.
However, this time, Chen Zong was asked to enter the interlayer universe. Wasn't this asking for death? However, the Peak Lord had made it very clear. Although the interlayer universe was very dangerous and could only be entered by Chen Zong at the sixth level, that was only if he wanted to enter. If he had the help of a powerhouse, he could send someone into the interlayer universe.
Of course, the danger of the interlayer universe surpassed that of the surface universe.
However, since Chen Zong had agreed to the Peak Lord's quest, there was no reason for him to go back on his word.
Sword-bearing disciple!
As long as he could be promoted to a sword-bearing disciple, he would be qualified to exchange for Heavenly Gilt Silver Marrow and Sword Dao Origin. When that time came, all he lacked was a huge amount of contribution points.
However, contribution points could also be obtained. Just by completing this quest, he would be able to obtain 100,000 contribution points. It was quite good.
The quest this time was for Chen Zong to enter a certain place in the interlayer universe and pick the Nine-leaf Ming Luo Flower.
The life forms that inhabited the interlayer universe were special life forms known as the Undead. It was the paradise of the dead.
It was said that those who died in the surface universe would enter the interlayer universe and become Undead if their souls did not scatter. They would exist in another form and continue on.
Of course, if their souls were scattered, they would naturally be left with nothing.
In addition, there were also some cultivators who had been killed. Their souls were preserved, but due to some special reasons, they fell into the interlayer universe and became Undead.
This time, Chen Zong was not going to enter the interlayer universe with his true body to carry out the quest. This was because his true body could not withstand the death aura contained in the interlayer universe. That was the power of the Undead.
If he could not enter with his true body, then how could he enter?
Naturally, he would enter with his soul.
"Refine this Tianming Pearl. After your soul enters the interlayer universe, you can use it as the center to construct a body that is compatible with your soul. You can temporarily transform into a member of the Netherworld." The Peak Lord took out a grayish-white pearl the size of a duck's egg. Endless grayish clouds and mist surged within it. It fluctuated endlessly and emitted an extremely pure aura of death.
The Tianming Pearl was an Undead treasure refined from the bodies of Netherworld elites in the interlayer universe. It was of great help to cultivators who cultivated death techniques or comprehended the Path of Death.
However, the Peak Lord had given it to Chen Zong to be used as a vessel for Chen Zong's soul to enter the interlayer universe and to condense a Netherworld body.
Chen Zong did not understand the Peak Lord's arrangement at all.
Logically speaking, he was only at the Fourth Realm. Even if he was listed on the Divine Lord List, he was still at the Fourth Realm. He could not compare to a Fifth Realm cultivator. If he wanted to carry out such a quest, it was undoubtedly more suitable to find a powerful Fifth Realm cultivator.
Even the Peak Lord himself could enter the interlayer universe. With his Seventh Realm strength, it would be better.
Why did the Peak Lord choose him?
Not only that, every time Chen Zong plucked a Nine-Leaf Underworld Flower, he would get an additional ten thousand contribution points. In other words, if he plucked ten Nine-Leaf Underworld Flowers, Chen Zong would get an additional one hundred thousand contribution points. If he plucked one hundred flowers, he would get one million contribution points.
An astonishing amount of contribution points!
This made Chen Zong very tempted. However, the more tempted he was, the more alert Chen Zong became.
"Don't worry. You are a disciple of Tianguang Peak, and I am the Peak Lord. I will never harm you." The Peak Lord seemed to have seen through Chen Zong's doubts and said with a smile, "The reason I asked you to go is that I want to train you to a certain extent."
"Your swordsmanship is superb, and your strength is not bad. You still have a lot of room for improvement on the Divine Lord List. Your future achievements will not be inferior to Poyun's." The Peak Lord said with a smile. It was because he accidentally discovered that Chen Zong had mastered the Heavenly Light Sword-Drawing Technique when he was in a mental trance.
Even the King of Sword Poyun didn't master the Heavenly Light Sword-Drawing Technique when he was in the fourth realm.
Such amazing potential made the Peak Lord pay more attention to Chen Zong and collect information about Chen Zong. That was why he had the idea of training Chen Zong.
This mission could have been carried out by someone else, such as Poyun. However, since he wanted to train Chen Zong well, the Peak Lord gave this opportunity to Chen Zong.
Entering the interdimensional universe was dangerous, but as long as he didn't seek death, he shouldn't die.
If he was so unlucky, Chen Zong's spiritual soul would at most be damaged. Damaged spiritual souls could still be recovered. After all, Mount Taihao was so powerful that there were treasures that could repair spiritual souls. With his status as a peak master, it wasn't too difficult for him to obtain treasures that could repair spiritual souls.
In order to train Chen Zong, the Tianguang Peak Lord had put in a lot of effort.
Under the protection of the Tianguang Peak Lord, Chen Zong's spiritual soul left his body and entered a dark vortex with the Heavenly Nether Orb.
