Chapter 74: Wang Chen's Defeat

  Divine Sword Peak

  In the depths of the Dongfu, Wang Chen was quietly cultivating. The spiritual energy around him suddenly stopped moving at a certain moment, and then instantly condensed into a five-colored shape, like a ring-shaped jadeite, dazzling and eye-catching.

  Suddenly a green light flashed, Wang Chen stretched out his right hand, and a faint sword shadow appeared. The green light actually flew into Wang Chen's hand automatically. Upon closer inspection, the green light turned out to be a transmission talisman.

  "Hurry to Luoyun Hall! The secret realm of Zhulong Valley is open!"

  Gently pinching off the green light, Wang Chen's eyes flashed with a hint of puzzlement: "Master Shu is actually somewhat uneasy? Why is that? Never mind, maybe I'm just overthinking!"

  A sword shadow flashed under his feet, and Wang Chen disappeared into the cave mansion, while his figure appeared several meters away.

  Shadow Step!

  The footwork that Wang Chen achieved after reaching the realm of sword intent. This method is related to Wang Chen's sword intent, and it is light, free, and uninhibited, as if it is not in the mortal world, transcending everything.

  What's even more terrifying is that as the sword intent grows stronger, the Shadow Step will also become even more powerful!

  Although Wang Chen's strength was extraordinary and stronger than the average early foundation stage, in many aspects he was still inferior to the foundation stage. For example, he couldn't fly with his sword.

  Operating the Flying Sword requires a cultivator's control over their own spiritual energy. Although Wang Chen's divine sense had reached the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment stage, his control over his own spiritual energy was excellent, but compared to an ordinary Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, he still fell short by a bit.

  Because the spiritual energy on the body during the foundation-building period is different from that in the refining Qi period, the latter is about absorbing and containing spiritual power, while the former is about generating magical power.

  The boundless power of the law is referring to the immense power of the law, at least that of a foundation-building cultivator.

  This is a qualitative gap, and the quantity is hard to make up for. At least in terms of spiritual power, Wang Chen has always been weak. Even an ordinary cultivator at the peak of the Qi Refining stage has more spiritual energy inside their body than Wang Chen does. Although in terms of purity of spiritual energy, they are still far inferior to Wang Chen.

  During the foundation-building period, the control of the precious instrument relies on the power of law. Even if Wang Chen's sword intent is comparable to that of the Golden Elixir period, and his divine consciousness has reached the middle level of the foundation-building period, forcibly controlling the instrument to fly would cause his entire spiritual energy to be depleted in less than half a stick of incense time.

  Along the way, there was no conversation, and about half an hour later, Wang Chen arrived at Luoyun Hall.

  This time's Luo Yun Hall was different from usual, several hundred Qi Refining stage cultivators packed the entire venue, the atmosphere boiling with excitement.

  The moment Wang Chen arrived, the surrounding noise suddenly subsided.

  "This is indeed a genius elder of the sect, and his aura is extraordinary!"

  "Genius Elder, it's all up to you now that we're heading to the Dragon Descending Valley! With you around, our Luo Yun Sect will surely suppress all other sects and obtain abundant spiritual medicine! Reaching the Foundation stage is no longer a pipe dream!"

  "Yes! Elder, when everyone reaches the foundation period, they will definitely be grateful to you. You say one, I absolutely won't say two!"

  …….

  In the Luoyuntian, all kinds of flattering voices came to mind, and Wang Chen was said to be the number one in the world. It seemed that with Wang Chen's support, this trip to Longtan Valley would not only be very safe, but also very rewarding.

  If it were another monk, he might have been immersed in this flattery, but Wang Chen's face was stern, and even revealed a hint of murderous intent. The faint sword intent on his body flashed, and Wang Chen walked to the front of the crowd.

  Disgusting, utterly disgusting!

  Wang Chen was utterly disgusted with these people, and even felt that the monks who gave him cold glances from afar, with a hint of provocation on their faces, were far better than them.

  These people were flattering on the surface, but Wang Chen's sword intent sensed the hypocrisy and hidden killing intent from them.

  That's human!

  Wang Chen finally felt the pain of sword cultivation for the first time. Sometimes, knowing too much is a suffering in itself! Especially when facing so many cultivators with ulterior motives, he clearly knew their fake facade but couldn't take action, it was simply a kind of torture!

  Before, Feng Wuji was so kind when he first met Wang Chen, teaching him swordsmanship and giving him an unknown precious sword book to comprehend. All of this made sense to Wang Chen!

  The cultivation world is treacherous and cunning, with the sword intent of Feng Wuji, it's estimated that he has long been tired of those suspicious cultivators, I don't know how many people he has already killed!

  Suddenly meeting a cultivator like Wang Chen with a relatively good temperament would of course make one extremely happy, to the point of even taking him on as a disciple and telling him all about sword techniques.

  A faint sword intent flashed by, and Wang Chen shook open all the cultivators in front of him, arriving at the entrance of Luo Yun Hall.

  "Master!"

  Wang Chen slightly bowed and stood in front of many disciples.

  The master nodded slightly, seeming to have seen Wang Chen, and then waved his hand, causing the entire hall to fall silent.

  "This trip to the Dragon's Gorge is a rare opportunity, and even the inner valley will be open! As long as you can enter it and come out alive, you will definitely reach the foundation stage! And there may even be a chance for the Golden Elixir stage and the Nascent Soul stage in the future!"

  Yuanying period, Shibo swept over many cultivators. Some cultivators had a puzzled expression, obviously they didn't know that the Dragon Valley was divided into inner and outer valleys before. However, some cultivators were in a "so it is" manner, obviously having been taken care of by their seniors and already knowing these secrets.

  The master's uncle paused for a moment and continued:

  "However, you must be cautious and act within your abilities. The outer valley already has countless spiritual medicines, if you obtain some and hand them over to the sect, building a foundation is certain. Moreover, entering the inner valley is not easy, one needs to defeat some powerful guardian beasts to gain qualification, or else they might fall in. Every time the inner valley opens, many disciples become food for the demonic beasts just to enter! You must choose carefully!"

  The master of the yuan infant stage looked at some disciples who were a little afraid and timid, feeling both relieved and disappointed.

  "It's all right, it's their good fortune that they can survive! Do they still expect to gain some benefits by really entering the inner valley?"

  The Supreme Elder finished speaking and retreated, and Luo Yunzong's disciples were also divided into two batches, departing one after the other.

  At first, they were just ordinary disciples. The sect didn't have any special care for them, except for providing some common magical instruments and elixirs. Everything else depended on their own luck!

  Those who stayed behind and set out were naturally the elites of the sect, and Wang Chen was among them.

  "This time in Long Valley trip to be careful and cautious, even with your strength is not the highest in it, if possible, enter the inner valley!"

  The elder on the stage quietly transmitted his divine sense to Wang Chen, and Wang Chen could only nod secretly.

  When the elder on stage reappeared, he was no longer alone. In addition to several elders from the Luo Yun Sect, there were also two outsiders.

  They said it was an outsider, because all the monks present could feel the disdainful expression of one of the young men.

  Looking down on everyone present, including even the Supreme Elder, as if they were all ordinary people in a bag.

  It's an outright contempt for a Foundation Building cultivator to look down on an elder of the Luo Yun Sect's Mount Tai in the Nascent Soul stage! The other Foundation Building disciples present all had red faces, staring fixedly at this young Foundation Building cultivator!

  But how much of this was just a show of loyalty to various factions is unknown!

  Unlike others who were furious, Wang Chen's heart was actually stirred up like a huge wave.

  Behind the young man stood an elderly monk, who was obviously serving as a servant. Other cultivators thought he was just an ordinary person with no cultivation, only taking care of the young man's daily life and so on, but Wang Chen felt that the old monk was extraordinary.

  The sword intent is equivalent to the Golden Elixir stage in terms of boundary, and it's also different from ordinary resonance!

  The cultivation of the elder on stage was like a hidden volcano, and Wang Che could still feel the intense fluctuations within. However, this old man was like a calm Pacific Ocean, knowing that he was extraordinary, but always unable to figure it out, only until the waves were turbulent could confirm!

  This guy is even more formidable than the elder on stage!

  Wang Chen instantly confirmed it!

  "What's with that look on your faces? You don't believe me, huh? Hehe, if you don't believe me, we can fight it out, but if I get hurt, don't blame anyone else!"

  The young man looked at a group of Luo Yun Sect's Qi Refining stage elites and suddenly said a sentence!

  "Fine, this is what you said, I've been looking at you with disdain for a long time! How dare you be so arrogant!"

  "Not bad, and also disrespecting the ancestors on stage, should be taught a lesson!"

  ………

  Several monks started shouting and were about to fight forward.

  Wang Chen stood by, watching with a cold eye. These people mostly wanted to show off in front of the elder on stage. Even if they lost, as long as the elder was there, they wouldn't die.

  "Little friend, since those useless juniors of mine want to learn from you, don't be polite, just let them know that there are people outside of their world and skies beyond their own. However, for the sake of this old man's face, the Dragon's Descent Valley will open soon, so try not to hurt them too badly!"

  The elder on the platform spoke in a tone of deliberation, with a very humble attitude. The young man smiled complacently upon hearing this: "Good, good!" Then he turned his head and pointed at several shouting disciples:

  "Aren't you guys asking for a lesson? Come on then!"
