The opponents on the ninth floor were twice as strong as those on the eighth floor. However, although the first wave of opponents on the ninth floor were strong, the pressure they gave Chen Zong was not as strong as the tenth wave on the eighth floor. In fact, it was even weaker than the eighth wave.
This was the case for every floor.
However, Chen Zong was not in a hurry to defeat this strong opponent. Instead, he fought while tempering himself and observing the opponent's fist technique. At the same time, he maintained his condition.
When it was about time, Chen Zong unleashed a series of sword strikes, suppressing the opponent and defeating him.
Ten breaths later, two strong opponents appeared in the second wave, immediately putting pressure on Chen Zong.
In the end, Chen Zong was defeated in the third wave.
Without the Ancient God Sword Armor, he could only make it to the third wave of the ninth floor. After defeating one of the enemies, he couldn't hold on any longer and was killed.
Outside the Thousand Kills Tower, Chen Zong's figure appeared. The Thousand Kills Tower's stone stele flickered, and shortly after, Peerless Sword Saint Chen Zong's ranking changed. He went from third to first place.
This scene happened to be seen by some palace disciples who were preparing to challenge the Thousand Kills Tower. At first, they thought that their eyes were playing tricks on them. After rubbing their eyes, they looked again. Peerless Sword Saint Chen Zong's name was indeed first on the stone stele.
The first Royal Disciple, Bai Yi, was suppressed to second place.
Shock!
Extreme shock!
Ever since Bai Yi became the first Royal Disciple, regardless of whether it was the Thousand Kills Tower's stone stele or the Thousand Kills Tower's, he had always been first. But now, someone had surpassed him, and it was the third Royal Disciple. Not long ago, many palace disciples thought that the third Royal Disciple did not have enough potential.
The ninth floor!
The third Royal Disciple, Peerless Sword Saint Chen Zong, had actually passed the first eight floors and entered the ninth floor.
After Chen Zong left, this news swept through the Ancient Illumination Palace like a storm, causing a huge commotion.
In the sixth year, the first Royal Disciple, Bai Yi, and the second Royal Disciple, Jing Wuxue, came out of seclusion and challenged the Thousand Kills Tower.
On the Thousand Kills Tower's stone stele, the second Royal Disciple, Jing Wuxue, actually surpassed the first Royal Disciple, Bai Yi.
On the Thousand Kills Pagoda's stone stele, the rankings changed once more. The first King's disciple, Bai Yi, regained the first position, the second King's disciple, Jing Wuxue, regained the second position, and the third King's disciple, Chen Zong, returned to the third position.
When Chen Zong found out, he was somewhat surprised, but he didn't find it unacceptable. After all, he hadn't activated the Ancient Divine Sword Armor when he challenged the Thousand Kills Pagoda. If he had activated the Ancient Divine Sword Armor, he would definitely be able to clear the third wave of the ninth level. It wouldn't even be a problem for him to clear the fourth wave. As for the fifth wave, his chances of clearing it weren't small.
However, Chen Zong was still surprised by the increase in Jing Wuxue and Bai Yi's strength.
..............................
Listening to the Demigod's preaching not only brought him great benefits, but also brought great benefits to the First Royal Disciple, Bai Yi, and the Second Royal Disciple, Jing Wuxue.
.......................
. Did they pass the third wave?
They should have. Based on his battle with the first Royal Disciple in the Yuan Secret Land, he should have no problem passing the third wave. He might even be able to pass the fourth wave. Maybe he could even pass the fifth wave.
Chen Zong hadn't fought with Jing Wuxue before, so he wasn't sure. However, he guessed that Jing Wuxue should be able to pass the third and fourth waves.
"I really hope I can fight them with my full strength," Chen Zong muttered to himself.
He wondered if he could defeat Jing Wuxue if he went all out. Would he be able to defeat the first Royal Disciple, Bai Yi?
Not long after, an unexpected visitor came.
Looking at the figure shrouded in mist, Chen Zong was surprised.
The visitor was the first Royal Disciple, Bai Yi.
The mist seemed to dissipate, revealing Bai Yi's figure. It was the same figure Chen Zong had seen in the Yuan Secret Land.
Bai Yi's face was pale, as if he had lost a lot of blood. However, his eyes were dark and deep. Ordinary cultivators wouldn't dare to look into his eyes. Otherwise, they would feel like they were being covered by a shadow.
"First Royal Disciple, what do you want?" Chen Zong asked directly.
"You are quite strong. You are stronger than Jing Wuxue," Bai Yi said. His voice was low and hoarse.
Chen Zong was surprised. He was stronger than Jing Wuxue?
Bai Yi had fought with him and Jing Wuxue before. If he said so, then it was most likely true. Of course, he couldn't rule out the possibility that Jing Wuxue had become stronger this time.
But what did the first Royal Disciple want? This was what Chen Zong was concerned about.
"It won't be long before the Demonic Universal Era Fragment opens." Bai Yi's voice was low and deep. He spoke at a steady pace.
Chen Zong raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Yi in surprise.
Bai Yi's words surprised Chen Zong.
Why did he come to the Ancient God Dynasty?
They had come for the Demonic Universe Era Fragment and the Celestial Universe Era Fragment. However, they had been in the Ancient Illumination Palace for almost ten years, but they had not heard any news of the Demonic Universe Era Fragment being opened.
How did Bai Yi know?
"My family has some connections in the Ancient God Dynasty." Bai Yi seemed to have noticed Chen Zong's surprise when he raised his eyebrows. He explained, "Every time the Demonic Universal Era Fragment Ruin opens, the Ancient Illumination Palace will get some slots. With your strength, it's not difficult to get a slot."
"The reason why I'm looking for you is that I hope you can help me obtain a treasure," Bai Yi continued. Chen Zong nodded and signaled for Bai Yi to continue.
Bai Yi frowned, but he wasn't displeased. He continued, "The treasure is called the Demonic Soul."
"Demonic Soul!" Chen Zong frowned.
When Demigod Di Jiu recommended him to the Ancient God Dynasty, he wanted him to give him the Cauldron Soul and the Demonic Soul. He also said that it would be difficult to get the Cauldron Soul and the Demonic Soul.
Now that Bai Yi wanted him to help him get the Demonic Soul, it seemed that it would be more difficult than expected.
Moreover, he needed the Demonic Soul, and Bai Yi needed it too. Wouldn't they have to compete?
"You need the Demonic Soul too?" Bai Yi was surprised, but he didn't ask. He continued, "There is more than one Demonic Soul in the Demonic Universe Era Fragment, and I only need one."
"What do you want in return?" Chen Zong didn't answer immediately, but he asked.
After all, if Bai Yi wanted him to help him get the Demonic Soul, he wouldn't do it for free. If that was the case, then Bai Yi must be crazy. However, Bai Yi wasn't an idiot who only had strength.
"What do you want?" Bai Yi asked.
"A spot for the Celestial Universe Era Fragment?" Chen Zong asked.
"Impossible." Bai Yi's expression changed, and he immediately explained, "The Celestial Universe Era Fragment is controlled by the Sky Heart Dynasty. It's extremely difficult for anyone who isn't from the Sky Heart Dynasty to get a spot. Even my family can't get it that easily."
In fact, Bai Yi also wanted to enter the Celestial Universe Era Fragment, but the opportunity was too rare.
"Then, tell me your conditions." Chen Zong said. At the moment, Chen Zong couldn't think of anything to ask for. He might as well listen to Bai Yi's conditions first. If it was suitable, he could help him. If it wasn't, he would reject it.
Bai Yi seemed to be thinking about what conditions he should give.
"A mind cultivation technique, a chaotic divine weapon, and one million chaotic divine gems." Bai Yi said, "You can choose one of the three."
"This time, I also asked Jing Wuxue to help me." Bai Yi continued, "He also asked for one of the three."
Indeed, it was difficult to get the Demon Soul. However, Bai Yi had not only asked him, but also Jing Wuxue. With the three King's Disciples working together, the possibility of getting the Demon Soul was higher.
Besides, Chen Zong also thought of one thing. He didn't know what the Demon Soul looked like. Where did it exist?
If he helped Bai Yi, he might be able to get more information about the Demon Soul.
Then, how should he choose one of the three?
One million chaotic divine gems?
It was indeed a lot, but for Chen Zong who had tens of millions of chaotic divine gems, it was nothing. With his ability, it wasn't difficult to get one million chaotic divine gems. Even ten million chaotic divine gems wouldn't be difficult.
As for a chaotic divine weapon, Chen Zong didn't care much. Unless it was a top chaotic divine weapon, it wouldn't be of much use to him.
He had the Sky Intent Sword, a top chaotic divine weapon, and one hundred chaotic divine weapons, the Red Star Sword.
Then, he could only choose the mind cultivation technique.
According to the name, the mind cultivation technique might have something to do with the Divine Will. As for whether it was true or not, he would know after asking.
"The mind cultivation technique is called the Ghost Fire Jade Technique. It focuses on the Divine Will." Bai Yi didn't say much. It was just a simple introduction.
"I want the mind cultivation technique," Chen Zong replied immediately.
Bai Yi nodded. He took out a Jade of Inheritance and handed it to Chen Zong.
Chen Zong was a little surprised, but he took it.
"The opening date of the Demon Era Fragment hasn't been confirmed, but it should be within ten years. Be prepared." Bai Yi left Chen Zong's Secret Palace after he finished speaking.
When Bai Yi turned to leave, wisps of mist spread out. It was as if they were coming out from the void around him. They surrounded Bai Yi again, and he returned to his mysterious appearance.
After watching Bai Yi leave, Chen Zong looked at the Jade of Inheritance carefully. He made sure that there was no tampering with it before he passed it on. Even when he was receiving the information, Chen Zong took all kinds of precautions to prevent any accidents from happening.
It wasn't that Chen Zong was narrow-minded, but he had to be careful. He didn't know Bai Yi very well, so there was no friendship between them.
The Ghost Fire Jade Technique wasn't too difficult to understand. At least for Chen Zong, it was easy for him to understand.
The mind cultivation technique was to treat the Divine Will like a piece of jade to be refined. The impurities in the jade would be removed continuously until it became pure. Finally, it would become a flawless jade.
