As the ancient light flickered, a figure appeared out of thin air and fell down.
Looking at the bronze statue in front of him, Chen Zong still had a feeling of disbelief. What happened just now was too mysterious, but the information about the complete Chaotic Heaven Great True Power, Zongheng Great True Power, and Zongheng Sword Arts in his mind told Chen Zong that it was not an illusion.
Ancient Xuan Monument
This was a huge opportunity, a harvest that was even more important than the Star Scar Twin Swords.
If Chen Zong knew that he had entered the main tomb, he would be even more shocked.
The iron plate that was embedded in the back of the bronze statue's head fell off. Chen Zong reached out and grabbed it. After looking at it carefully, he put it back into his Void Ring.
Maybe, he could leave it for his descendants.
Although the opportunity from the Ancient Xuan Monument did not increase Chen Zong's cultivation by even a little bit, it increased the Zongheng Art and Zongheng Sword Arts to the Heaven Level Extreme Rank. This meant that Chen Zong could cultivate to a higher level, and have more potential and strength.
In addition, the modification of the Zongheng Art and Zongheng Sword Arts made them one hundred percent compatible with his body, which also increased Chen Zong's strength significantly. However, this kind of increase was still unable to cross the barrier between three and four stars.
Moving again, Chen Zong left this tomb to find other opportunities.
At the Ancient Xuan Monument of the main tomb, Underworld Raven and Long Xinchen both sat down cross-legged and stared at one side of the Ancient Xuan Monument.
After about ten breaths, the two's consciousness seemed to have left their bodies and flew into the Ancient Xuan Monument, appearing in the Ancient Xuan Monument's dark space.
The Ancient Xuan Monument's dark space could be one or many, so Underworld Raven and Long Xinchen did not interfere with each other.
What Underworld Raven wanted to improve was the Blood Slaughtering Saber Art that he had obtained through a lucky encounter. This saber art was missing the last layer, but even so, its power was still better than a complete Heaven Level Extreme Rank Martial Art.
Underworld Raven had already cultivated it to the extreme. If he could deduce the last layer and cultivate it, his strength would definitely increase greatly.
The Underworld Raven had felt that something was wrong when he started to deduce. According to what he knew, this deduction shouldn't be too difficult. But now, he felt that it was a bit difficult. It wasn't as easy as he had imagined.
Perhaps it was because he was comprehending the Ancient Mystic Monolith with others, causing the power of the Ancient Mystic Monolith to split into two.
But the Underworld Crow didn't know that that was only one of the reasons. The biggest reason was that Chen Zong had already comprehended the Ancient Xuan Tablet.
The first one to comprehend the Ancient Xuan Tablet would have the best effect. If he continued, the effect would be halved.
Long Xinchen also had the same feeling, but he also felt that it might be because he and the Underworld Raven had comprehended the power of the Ancient Xuan Tablet together. The two of them did not think about anything else. After all, other than the two of them, there was no third person who had entered the main tomb, and they would not associate it with the iron plate and bronze statue.
Chen Zong didn't know if he had run out of luck or not. He didn't find anything until he found the exit of the ancient tomb and left.
As soon as he walked out of the tomb, Chen Zong didn't stop for a second. He quickly went to other places.
He didn't know when the Sky Cloud Mystery Land would close. He had to find as many opportunities as he could before it closed. This was his only chance.
"Hahahaha, I, Long Shaojun, will definitely be one of the geniuses." A burst of laughter resounded through the sky, startling countless birds.
Soon after, a vigorous figure soared into the sky from the dense forest. His figure was like a dragon soaring in the sky.
After soaring for a few hundred meters, he paused in midair and then landed on the top of a tall tree. The branches swayed with the wind, looking calm and at ease.
Feeling the powerful True Force surging in his body, Long Shaojun smiled. He looked around as if he could look down on the world.
Before entering the Sky Cloud Mystery Land, his cultivation was only at the early stage of the Lv 8 Genuine Martial Realm, close to the middle stage. His combat strength was also at the early stage of the Three-Star Realm. He was ranked in the front line of the Tianjiang Prefecture.
But Long Shaojun's goal was not as simple as being in the front line. He wanted to become one of the Five Geniuses.
But Long Shaojun also knew that it was very difficult for him to become one of the geniuses with his own talent under normal circumstances. The possibility was not high.
But when he learned that the Sky Cloud Mystery Land had opened, he realized that it might be an opportunity for him.
After entering the Sky Cloud Mystery Land, Long Shaojun tried his best. He didn't enter the maze or the ancient tomb, but he had good opportunities to improve his cultivation rapidly. He was now at the peak of the Lv 8 Genuine Martial Realm.
The improvement of his cultivation brought about an increase in his strength. Long Shaojun estimated that his combat strength was at least above the early stage of the Three-Star Realm. He might even reach the late stage of the Three-Star Realm.
But this was not his limit. After leaving the Sky Cloud Mystery Land, he would cultivate in seclusion for a period of time to consolidate his cultivation. He would also improve the level of his martial arts techniques so that they could be perfectly compatible with his cultivation. By then, his combat strength would be further enhanced.
Although Long Shaojun was talented, he was not like Chen Zong, who had already mastered all the martial arts techniques he cultivated. He didn't need to spend more time to understand them. He could master them easily.
"Chen Zong, you're not far from death," Long Shaojun said to himself.
No matter what, Chen Zong was always a big problem. He had to get rid of him as soon as possible. Otherwise, as time passed, Chen Zong would become stronger and stronger. He might even surpass Long Shaojun one day. By then, Long Shaojun wouldn't be the one to kill Chen Zong. Instead, Long Shaojun would be killed by Chen Zong.
As the thought flashed through his mind, Long Shaojun's pupils suddenly shrank. He stared at a figure that had appeared a few thousand meters away. He was slightly taken aback, but soon after, a smile filled with killing intent appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"I was wondering where to find you. I didn't expect you to appear in front of me." Long Shaojun smiled. His eyes were filled with murderous intent. He leaped into the air and quickly swept toward the figure thousands of meters away like a dragon.
Long Shaojun didn't make a sound. He was extremely fast and very sudden. When he was dozens of meters away from the figure, he suddenly reached out his hand like a dragon's claw.
The dragon's claw, which was more than ten meters long, fell from the sky. Smoke curled under the claw. The terrifying power bound the space below and almost froze it.
This claw contained all of Long Shaojun's power. He wanted to kill Chen Zong in one fell swoop.
What he didn't know was that before Long Shaojun found Chen Zong, Chen Zong had already found Long Shaojun. The reason he came in this direction was because of Long Shaojun.
Long Shaojun had done everything he could to get rid of Chen Zong, but Chen Zong had done the same to Long Shaojun.
Long Shaojun's attack was not out of Chen Zong's expectation. Everything was under his control.
Facing Long Shaojun's even more powerful Dragon's Claw, Chen Zong's expression didn't change. He waved his right arm and unsheathed his long sword. It tore through the sky and turned into a dazzling silver light. It shot out like a meteor breaking through the moon.
It was as fast as lightning and as fierce as thunder.
The sword pierced through the Dragon's Claw. The dragon's claw, which was more than ten meters long, was shattered. Long Shaojun was shocked, but he didn't have time to dodge. The silver sword light had already reached him.
There was no way to dodge or block.
A sharp pain spread from between his eyebrows, filling his entire head and then spreading throughout his body. Long Shaojun's pupils dilated, and his consciousness quickly sank into darkness. It was as if he had fallen into an abyss.
He had never imagined that the Chen Zong he wanted to kill would become so powerful. He was far stronger than himself.
The difference between peak three-star battle strength and late three-star battle strength was very obvious. Moreover, there was a clear gap between their realms.
After killing Long Shaojun, Chen Zong breathed a sigh of relief. He felt refreshed. Then he took Long Shaojun's mustard seed bag and other valuable items and put them into his Void Ring. Then he burned Long Shaojun's body and buried it in a hole.
Now, no one other than himself knew that Long Shaojun was killed by his sword. Otherwise, if the imperial family found out, he would be in trouble. Even the Unhindered Sword Sect wouldn't be able to protect him.
"I wonder how the other senior martial brothers are doing," Chen Zong thought to himself.
However, the Sky Cloud Secret Land was not small. There were places like mazes and ancient tombs. It was very difficult to find a person. He could only rely on luck.
After a long time, Chen Zong didn't find anything good. His cultivation was still at the peak of Lv 7 Genuine Martial Realm. He hadn't improved, let alone made a breakthrough.
Suddenly, the sun hanging in the sky shook, and the light it emitted became several times stronger.
Then the whole earth shook, making a rumbling sound like ten thousand horses galloping. It was difficult to stand still.
"What's going on?" Chen Zong tried his best to stabilize his body. He swayed with the ground as if his whole body was rooted to the ground.
Then a strong repulsive force fell on him from all directions. It kept squeezing his body, as if it was trying to squeeze him out of the world.
Chen Zong suddenly realized that the Sky Cloud Secret Land was about to close. He stopped resisting, even though his resistance was insignificant in front of the power of the entire Sky Cloud Secret Land.
When the repulsive force reached its limit, Chen Zong's body seemed to be compressed into a small dot. In a flash, he disappeared.
Everywhere in the Sky Cloud Secret Land, the people who were still alive were squeezed into small dots by the repulsive force and disappeared.
Outside the Sky Cloud Secret Land, in the desert, the elders of the various forces were still there. The Transcendents had been completely reborn. Their bodies were completely different from ordinary people's. They would be fine even if they didn't eat, drink, or sleep for a period of time.
Moreover, every Transcendent had a mustard seed bag with a lot of dry food. They were more adaptable to the environment.
Not to mention a place like the desert, they could even adapt to the harsher environment.
The Sky Cloud Secret Land suddenly trembled. Every Transcendents' attention was focused on it.
"The Sky Cloud Secret Land is about to close."
"They are coming out."
"I wonder how high the mortality rate is this time."
As soon as the voice fell, rays of light appeared in the desert one after another. When the rays of light dispersed, the figures were revealed. They were the people who had entered the Sky Cloud Secret Land.
