CHAPTER 98
Senior Brother Gu?
A group of people rushed towards Mountain River City. Among them was Qi Tai, a Mystic Grade Six Star, Willow Deity, a Mystic Grade Five Star peak, and a few Mystic Grade Four Star peak. It was a rather tyrannical lineup, and many examinees fled at the mere sight of them.
Qi Tai had also displayed his skills many times, seizing the tokens of several people. Every time, it would cause the female disciples behind him to cheer.
Every time something like this happened, Qi Heng would put his arm around Zhou Mei's shoulder and look at Gu Xuan provocatively. Gu Xuan would just smile and let it go.
He couldn't be bothered to deal with such a pitiful person. He just immersed himself in creating the footwork martial arts.
During the day, Gu Xuan would apply what he had comprehended into his footwork. During the night, Gu Xuan's five hearts were facing the sky as he observed the stars.
Gu Xuan's strange cultivation method attracted Qi Heng's curious inquiry. When Gu Xuan told Qi Tai that he was trying to gain enlightenment of the stars, Qi Heng was stunned for a moment. His mouth hung open for a long time before he closed it again. With a hollow laugh, he praised Gu Xuan for his "astonishing courage."
Comprehending the Heaven and Earth was something that only ancient sages and Sage Realm experts could do. In Qi Heng's eyes, Gu Xuan was overestimating himself.
However, he was completely unaware that not only could Gu Xuan comprehend it, it was also of great help to him. Otherwise, he would have definitely burrowed into a crack in the rock out of shame.
The mysteries of heaven and earth were too vast. Although the speed of the Ancient Mystic Footwork was not as exaggerated as before, it was not weak either. Moreover, it seemed like there was no limit to it. It could be improved continuously.
Five days had passed, and Gu Xuan's footwork had already reached the elite level of a first-grade human ranked martial art. Although he did not deliberately use it, he felt that his footwork was not inferior to Chen Mang's level.
Chen Mang had always been known as the number one person in terms of movement techniques among the examinees. For him to be able to reach such a level when he was only at the Black Grade Two Star, he was not weak at all.
"This footwork technique can already be considered a small success. I've only imitated the circulation of thirty-six stars, and my comprehension has already reached a bottleneck. Unless the quality of the flame is improved, it will be very difficult to improve it further. The next step is to imitate the circulation of three hundred and sixty stars, and its power will reach the level of an Earth-rank."
Gu Xuan was very satisfied with the footwork martial art he had created. After pondering for a while, he decided to name it Stars in the Heavens.
Because the Origin of Flames limited his comprehension, he could only perform 36 steps, corresponding to 36 stars. However, after that, he could evolve 36,000 stars. Using the Celestial Constellations as his name was well-deserved.
As for the Star Picking Hand, Gu Xuan did not purposely cultivate it, but after breaking through to the Mystic Class Two Star, the God Weapon Spell had also improved. His right hand was strengthened again, and he performed the eighth Star Picking Secret Pattern.
Black Rank Two Star, Star Plucking Hand, Eight Secret Inscriptions, Celestial Stars Footwork. Gu Xuan now had the confidence to defeat Chen Mang in a direct confrontation. His harvest these few days could be said to be not small.
After a few days of traveling, Gu Xuan's group finally arrived at a huge city.
This huge city was simple and tall. In the sky above the huge city, there was a huge sword that was a hundred feet long. Its might was astonishing. The sword Qi and the sky converged, forming the three words "Mountain River City."
Looking at the huge city in front of him, Qi Heng sighed, "As expected of the most important place of the Mountain River Diagram. Just this aura alone makes me feel terrified. Let's enter the city. In the Mountain River City, there are many cultivation grounds and many treasures that can be exchanged."
The rest of the people also revealed excited expressions. Although there were some treasures in the periphery of the Mountain River Diagram, whether one could find them or not depended entirely on luck. However, in the Mountain River City, there would definitely be treasures that would appear.
Qi Heng led the group to the entrance of the city, but they were stopped by a martial artist wearing a metal mask. The latter said indifferently, "If you want to enter the Mountain River City, you must hand over a token."
When Zhou Mei and the rest heard this request, they could not help but have some anger in their eyes. How difficult was it to obtain a token? They were all prepared to exchange for some treasures and cultivation grounds. Now that they had just entered the city, they had to hand over a token. This was simply robbery.
Feeling the angry gazes of the few people, the masked martial artist said indifferently, "This is the territory of Senior Brother Lin Hao. Senior Brother Lin Hao has already reached Black Rank Eight Star. He is one of the top existences among the seniors. If you want to hand over a token, you can enter. If you don't want to, I won't stop you."
Qi Heng also gritted his teeth, took out a green token, and said, "I am Qi Heng. I know Senior Brother Han. I wonder if Senior Brother Han can give Senior Brother Han some face?"
"Eh?" The masked martial artist was slightly surprised. He took off his mask, revealing a thin face. He glanced at Qi Heng and showed a trace of ridicule, "So it's you, Little Qi. Since it's you, then I can exempt you from two tokens."
When Qi Heng saw the martial artist's face, he was obviously shocked. However, when he heard that the token could be exempted, he could not help but be overjoyed. He quickly pulled Zhou Mei over and said, "This is my girlfriend. Senior Brother Chen Mang can exempt the two of us. We won't make things difficult for Senior Brother Chen."
Hearing the two words "Chen Mang," Gu Xuan also looked over. He could not help but find it funny. This gatekeeper was Chen Mang, who had killed the Flame Beast with him.
It was just that he did not want to be with the two of them, so he secretly left. He did not expect to meet them here.
Gu Xuan stood at the back of the crowd. Chen Mang obviously did not notice Gu Xuan's existence. He only casually nodded at Qi Heng, "Alright. Seeing that you have followed Senior Brother Han for so long, these two tokens are your reward. However, you are still stuck at the initial Six Star. I'm afraid Senior Brother Han will be disappointed when he sees you. Even the two of us have made significant breakthroughs this time."
"How would I dare to compare myself to Senior Brothers?" Qi Heng smiled bitterly. However, he could not hide the joy in his eyes. He knew the value of a token. Fortunately, this gatekeeper was Senior Brother Chen, whom he was familiar with. Otherwise, two tokens would be unavoidable.
Qi Heng smiled and bowed to Chen Mang. Then, he pulled Zhou Mei and walked over. He looked back at the crowd and instructed, "All of you, go over and hand over a token to Senior Brother Chen."
Willow Deity and the rest looked at Qi Tai and Zhou Mei with envy. They did not get to know Senior Brother Chen. This time, the tokens were unavoidable.
Seeing Willow Deity and the rest take out their tokens, Qi Heng could not help but feel a sense of superiority. He glanced at Zhou Mei as if he was showing off. The latter's eyes were also filled with pride. Everyone else had to hand over their tokens, but her Senior Brother Qi Tai did not. Moreover, he could also exempt himself from having to hand over his own token.
"Gu Xuan, why don't you take out your token?" Qi Heng's gaze swept over Gu Xuan. When he saw that the latter was still standing there indifferently, he could not help but laugh mockingly, "Don't tell me you don't even have a token? That's right. You are only at the peak of the Spiritual Grade. It is normal that you don't have a token. Why don't you let me lend you a token? "
Willow Deity glanced at Gu Xuan and laughed mockingly. Gu Xuan had suppressed him several times before. Now that he saw Gu Xuan in such a "miserable" state, he felt a little happy in his heart.
