The days in the Ancient Illumination Palace could be said to be very boring. Every day, they would cultivate and comprehend. Occasionally, they would have small gatherings with other palace disciples to exchange pointers.
However, for outstanding cultivators, being able to endure loneliness was a necessary quality.
After coming out of the Origin Secret Land, those palace disciples who had obtained the Origin Secret Spring all entered the Thousand Kills Tower to test their strength.
Of course, they also wanted to test how many levels they could reach in the Thousand Kills Tower. They wanted to see if they could improve or not.
Chen Zong also went to test and easily reached the eighth level. The eighth level's difficulty increased sharply, giving him a lot of pressure.
But this time, with the 50% increase in strength, Chen Zong broke the previous limit, passing the sixth wave and entering the seventh wave. However, the seventh wave was even more difficult, and Chen Zong finally barely passed it. When he reached the eighth wave, he was unable to pass it and was defeated in the eighth wave.
It seemed that even with the 50% increase in strength, he still couldn't pass the eighth level and enter the ninth level, stopping at the eighth wave. He was only one enemy away from reaching the ninth wave.
Of course, Chen Zong still didn't activate the Ancient God Sword Armor.
Although he didn't reach the ninth wave, his ranking on the Thousand Kills Tower's stone tablet directly rushed to the third place. The second place was still Jing Wuxue, and the first place was still the first palace disciple, Bai Yi.
As for the Eternal Path, Chen Zong entered it again. Just like last time, the sword pressure was extremely tyrannical, making it difficult for him to advance. He couldn't step into the second stage at all.
It seemed that his guess was correct.
Since that was the case, Chen Zong gave up on the Eternal Path. He didn't lose anything.
To prove his strength?
There was no need for that because everything that happened in the Origin Secret Land made everyone know that Chen Zong was very strong.
The fourth Royal Disciple had been forced back, and the third and seventh Royal Disciples had also been forced back. Chen Zong was able to fight against the first Royal Disciple without losing. No matter which one it was, it was enough to show that Chen Zong was very strong. He was a supreme expert.
As a result, the original twelve palace disciples also changed, becoming the thirteen palace disciples. Chen Zong was ranked third, only behind the first palace disciple Bai Yi and the second palace disciple Jing Wuxue.
Chen Zong didn't care about the rankings. That was enough.
The title of the third palace disciple didn't just give Chen Zong fame, but also a kind of deterrence. After that, no palace disciple dared to find trouble with Chen Zong.
The first palace disciple?
He couldn't count on him. He had always ignored the disputes between the inner and outer palace. As for counting on the second palace disciple to deal with Chen Zong, it was even impossible. The second palace disciple was the second palace disciple of the outer palace disciple......
............ and the fourth palace disciple............................................................................
...'s............. to.................
.... That's why it was said that disputes, factions, and conflicts were all because one didn't have enough strength. When one's strength was strong enough to suppress others and make them unable to resist, any disputes, factions, and conflicts would be defeated. They would dissipate like smoke blown by a strong wind....
............... In the blink of an eye, a few years had passed. Taihao Mountain was peaceful. Everything was moving according to the normal path, slowly developing. However, it still needed a lot of time to develop.
Fortunately, Chen Zong's incarnation was present. There were also experts like the Hundred Sword God and the Five Ultimate Sword God. Yu Nianxin, Sword Saint Wu Sha, Wang Yi, and other True Saints. The safety of Taihao Mountain was guaranteed.
In the Illumination Ancient Palace, Chen Zong spent the past few years peacefully. Normally, he would cultivate and comprehend. From time to time, he would go to the Thousand Kills Pagoda. After all, the battles in the Thousand Kills Pagoda were quite good.
As for the Eternal Path, he had completely given up on it. There was no need to go to the Dao King Pillar anymore.
After a few years, Chen Zong's strength did not improve significantly. It could even be said that there was no improvement. It could only be said that his combat ability had improved. As a result, he entered the ninth wave of the eighth level of the Thousand Kills Pagoda. However, he stopped at the ninth wave.
Similarly, Chen Zong's ranking remained at third place and did not advance any further.
There was still no news of the demonic Universe Epoch Fragment opening.
But on this day, Chen Zong received a piece of news. It was a piece of news that surprised and delighted him. In the near future, a demigod would come to preach the Dao.
As for when this' near future 'would be? How long until now? He had no idea.
It was already good enough that he could come. As for when he would come, it would depend on that demigod. It was even possible that the news would disappear as it spread.
After the excitement, he waited. A few months later, the so-called demigod who was going to preach the Dao did not appear, causing Chen Zong's eager heart to gradually cool down.
"You'll get used to it," Zhong Ling said. He had been in the Ancient Illumination Palace for hundreds of years and had heard of demigods preaching the Dao six or seven times. However, it had only happened twice.
In hundreds of years, there had only been two demigods preaching the Dao. The other few times had been passed down and left unsettled.
A few months passed, and then a year passed. The so-called demigod who was going to preach the Dao still did not appear.
Chen Zong also knew that time was not so important to demigods because their lifespan was almost endless. Under certain conditions, they could even cross the universe epoch. Although they were not as powerful as the Primordial Evil God, they were still tyrannical existences that could not be erased by time.
For such existences, one year, two years, three years, ten years, or even a hundred years were nothing at all.
It was basically certain that the current demigods of the Chaotic Universe had all survived from the ancient universe epoch. None of the living beings born in the Chaotic Universe had been able to break through the True Saint Realm to become a demigod.
Fortunately, this time, the demigod did not stand them up. Three years after the news spread, he really came.
Excited!
The seven hundred plus palace disciples in the Ancient Illumination Palace were all excited. It was a rare opportunity for a demigod to preach the Dao. This opportunity was no worse than entering the Yuan Secret Place.
Unfortunately, the demigod's preaching was not like the Yuan Secret Place where everyone was qualified to enter. This was because there were limited seats in the Law Development Hall.
The Law Development Hall was located in a corner of the Ancient Illumination Palace. Usually, no one would go there because it would not open. It would only open when the demigod came to preach.
Outside the Law Development Hall, many people had already gathered. They were all palace disciples from the Outer and Inner Palace. They were all waiting for the Law Development Hall to open to see if they could snatch a seat.
Then, the Twelve Royal Disciples … No, the Thirteen Royal Disciples arrived one after another.
There was no doubt that the Thirteen Royal Disciples would be able to get a seat directly.
As for the rest, only a few were qualified to get a seat directly because they were strong enough. They were second only to the Thirteen Royal Disciples.
Chen Zong's appearance immediately attracted a lot of attention.
The Third Royal Disciple!
This was the new Third Royal Disciple. He received more attention than the others. Only the First Royal Disciple took away this attention.
It was obvious that the First Royal Disciple had a lot of influence in the Ancient Illumination Palace.
Chen Zong also keenly felt that there was a gaze staring at him. It was the gaze of the first King's Disciple. However, the first King's Disciple was surrounded by layers of fog that rippled continuously. It was as if the fog had isolated him from everything. Chen Zong was unable to see through the layers of fog to see the figure within.
They continued to wait. They waited for half a day before the Law Development Hall's door opened.
In an instant, everyone became excited.
Previously, they were very nervous because they could be told that the demigod would not be coming to preach at any time.
Even if they were unhappy, there was nothing they could do because they were not qualified to be angry at a demigod. After all, the demigod's preaching in the Ancient Illumination Palace was not compulsory. It was a spontaneous act by the demigods to take care of the juniors and guide them. It meant that the demigods were not obligated to preach.
Now that the door to the Dharma Development Hall was open, it meant that they were really coming. A Demigod was really coming to give a lecture.
"Come in." When the door to the Law Development Hall opened, an ethereal voice immediately sounded from within the hall.
The sound was fleeting, as if it came from all directions. It was very subtle, as subtle as the sound of a mosquito flapping its wings. However, it was incomparably clear, so clear that it entered everyone's ears. They couldn't help but be attracted to it, focusing all of their attention to listen.
Without a doubt, the first to step into the Law Development Hall was the First Royal Disciple, Bai Yi. No matter how excited the others were, they did not rush to enter first.
Next was the Second Royal Disciple, Jing Wuxue, followed by the Third Royal Disciple, Chen Zong.
They entered in order, one after the other. There were thirteen of them in total. They were the Thirteen Royal Disciples.
After the Thirteen Royal Disciples entered, the other Royal Disciples began to compete. They rushed into the Law Development Hall one by one, fighting for a spot.
Whoever could enter the Law Development Hall next would have the qualifications to get a spot. The competition was very intense. Everyone fought for a spot. No one wanted to give it to anyone because the number of spots in the Law Development Hall was very limited. There were only one hundred and eight spots. This meant that only one hundred and eight people could enter and listen to the demigod's lecture.
As for those who could not enter, they could only wait outside the Law Development Hall. Of course, they could still listen, but the effect was not as good as inside the Law Development Hall.
Fighting was not allowed in the Law Development Hall. It was disrespectful to the demigods. They could only gather outside the Law Development Hall.
Some people rushed to the entrance of the Law Development Hall. Just as they were about to enter, they were immediately stopped by others. However, there were still some stronger people who exploded with astonishing power and forced their way in.
A figure was mixed in with the crowd. He was constantly shifting his body. It seemed like he was dodging, but also looking for an opportunity. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he directly burst out with an astonishing speed. His body twisted and turned in the air like lightning. He seized a fleeting opportunity and directly rushed into the Law Development Hall.
As long as he could break through the crowd and enter the Law Development Hall, he would be able to get a spot.
