Chapter 1 Rebirth

  Chen Xuan didn't respond, and it was clear that things were not going to go well. A group of people turned around, and as expected, this little guy must be a disciple of Douling Peak. They'll have to fawn over him properly from now on. The group of people behind them whispered among themselves.

  Chen Xuan raised his head and replied calmly.

  "Thank you, Shixiong, for your concern. Whether I can pass this election is still unknown. Even if I do pass, I have already promised several Shixiongs from Lian Shanfeng that I will join them, but I still appreciate Ling Shixiong's appreciation."

  Chen Xuan still didn't want to offend the people in front of him, but Chen Xuan wasn't afraid of this young man either. Chen Xuan was just a newcomer and didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.

  The young man named Ling Feng furrowed his brow upon hearing this.

  "Are you Lian Shanyu's disciple who has come looking for him?"

  I also heard that even several inner disciples of Lian Shanjun went out to find talented disciples to improve the situation of Lian Shanjun.

  Ling Feng thought for a moment.

  "As long as you can join us at Dou Ling Peak, the entire mountain will be yours to command. What do you think? Moreover, our cultivation resources are several times better than those of Lian Shan Peak."

  Ling Feng extends an olive branch once again.

  "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond, and it's hard to chase after a team of horses once they've galloped away. Since I've already promised Brother Lian Shandeng, I won't go back on my word. I hope Brother can understand my difficulties."

  A young man behind Ling Feng stepped forward and shouted loudly at Chen Xuan.

  "Don't be so shameless, at Danxuan Gate, no one has ever dared to go against Lingfeng Shixiong's decision. Are you tired of living?"

  As soon as he finished speaking, the people standing next to Chen Xuan all left and hid far away. Only a young man named Yun Sheng remained by Chen Xuan's side, supporting him.

  Chen Xuan suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart.

  "Others may be afraid of you, but I'm not. My face wasn't given to me by any of you, and which peak I choose seems like none of your business either."

  Chen Xuan said with a fiery tone.

  "You're quite bold, I'll remember you. I hope you can keep being so tough in the future. Once we get inside, I'll make sure you wish you were dead."

  The young man who just spoke threatened Chen Xuan again.

  "Let's go, remember what you just said."

  Call Ling Feng waved his hand and continued to register, but Chen Xuan could see that his eyes had a look of looking at a dead man, and he glanced at Chen Xuan.

  Chen Xuan smiled self-deprecatingly, didn't expect to make an enemy before even entering the door, but I don't care, having pressure will only make me improve my strength faster.

  "Chen Xuan, why didn't you respond to him just now?"

  At this time, Xi Yunsheng also finished registering and walked over, asking.

  "Brother Da, it's not that I don't want to join, you also saw just now, that Ling Feng guy, with an expression of being high and mighty, as if everyone has to bow down at his feet. Just looking at him, he doesn't seem like a good person. Besides, I've already promised Lu Shixiong and the others. A man must stand up for himself, when you make a promise, you have to keep it."

  "I can't convince you, but when that Ling Feng left, I saw the way he looked at you was not right. You must be careful in the future, as soon as you join, he will definitely find someone to deal with you."

  "I know, let's not think about him for now. Let's find a place to rest first. Tomorrow is the day of the general election, so let's have a good rest tonight."

  The two of them found a corner and sat down cross-legged, both taking out dry rations and starting to eat.

  "Brother Da, if you get selected, which peak will you choose?"

  "For the time being, I haven't thought about it yet. Besides, only the top 50 have the right to choose, and my strength is hard to rank in the top 100. I can only be chosen by a peak, and even if I'm chosen by a peak, it's from high to low. The peaks that are ranked lower can only drink soup every year, and all the good disciples are taken away by other peaks. Year after year, the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker. That's why the 16th peak, Douling Peak, is always ranked first, and they take all the best disciples. I heard that the second-ranked Chonghai Peak is not much weaker than the first-ranked Douling Peak. If I can get into Chonghai Peak, it wouldn't be bad either."

  Yun Shang Bian eats while speaking.

  "Didn't those four halls come out to select disciples?"

  "The Fourth Hall selects disciples, usually choosing talented ones. Sometimes, the Fourth Hall also selects elite talents from the Sixteen Peaks to join them. It's extremely difficult to join the Fourth Hall, as they only accept fewer than ten disciples each year. Every single one of them is an exceptional talent, and once you enter the Fourth Hall, you'll be among the core disciples. They're in a completely different league compared to the Sixteen Peaks. The Fourth Hall's disciples are the crème de la crème of the entire sect, its pillars, enjoying the best cultivation resources. It's rare to even catch a glimpse of them, as they usually spend their time cultivating or going out for training. Unlike the Sixteen Peaks, which has tasks every month that must be completed to obtain good cultivation resources."

  Yun Sheng told everything he knew.

  "Doing tasks?"

  Chen Xuan was somewhat perplexed.

  "You can also choose not to take on tasks, but you will only receive a meager amount of cultivation resources every month. It's hard to make progress with these resources. Moreover, completing tasks can earn you task points, which can be exchanged for pills, skills, and martial techniques!"

  "Is there a Heaven Ladder Kung Fu?"

  "Are you saying that the Tianjie Sect has so many powerful techniques? This Danxuan Gate seems to only have the sect leader, Taishang Elder, who cultivates the Tianjie technique. Even if you complete the 16th peak task point, you can only exchange for a top-notch Xuanjie technique, which requires a lot of task points. Normally, it's not certain that one person can complete it in ten years. Most cultivators are still at the Huangjie level, and there are many lower-level Xuanjie techniques. However, inner sect disciples are different. They can exchange for low-level Dijie techniques and martial skills after completing tasks, but they also need a lot of task points. Most disciples cultivate Xuanjie techniques and martial skills. As for us, who haven't reached the Lingwu realm, we can only do some simple tasks in the outer sect to exchange for some Huangjie techniques and martial skills. Let's hope we break through the Lingwu realm soon."

  Yun Sheng sighed.

  Chen Xuan fell silent after hearing this, never expecting that his cultivation method and martial skills were comparable to those of the Heavenly Stage. If others found out that he had cultivated all Heavenly Stage techniques, wouldn't all the disciples of the entire sect chase him down to kill him? Chen Xuan thought to himself.

  "You little kid knows now, Tianjie's Gongfa is very rare, and you're just a lucky dog who happened to run into me."

  At this time, Lao Li still didn't forget to come out and mock Chen Xuan.

  "Your current physique is the True Body of Ten Thousand Dragons, combined with the Heavenly Rank Merit Law and martial skills. Now, even if you encounter someone one realm higher than you, you can still kill them. Plus, your abnormal true strength... who knows what you were thinking back then? You compressed your true strength, unexpectedly making it five times stronger than ordinary people's. At the same level, you can directly instant-kill, but the difficulty of your future advancements will also become greater and greater, requiring more and more spiritual energy. Unless you obtain a large quantity of Primordial Spirit Pills, only then can you rapidly increase your strength."

  Lí Lǎo said in Chen Xuan's soul sea.

  "What is Yuán Líng Dān medicine."

  Chen Xuan had only heard of Huiyuan Dan and Peiyuan Dan, this was the first time he had heard of Yuanshen Dan, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

  "You don't know, do you? The pills you've been in contact with before are all low-grade dan medicines, which are made by decocting medicinal materials. There are still a lot of impurities inside, and if you eat them for a long time, the impurities will remain in the human body and affect your cultivation in the future. Only those who have reached the Earth Spirit Realm can refine Yuanshen Dan. They directly compress the spiritual energy into dan medicine without any impurities. However, the sect cannot produce it on a large scale after all, one Earth Spirit Realm does not have so much time, and he also has his own needs, it is impossible to selflessly dedicate everything."

  "Lao Li, after Lingwu Realm is Zhenwu Realm, and after Zhenwu Realm is Yuanwu Realm. Then what comes after Yuanwu Realm is Dilin Realm?" Chen Xuan asked.

  "You're right, kid. With your current strength, you're not that impressive, but the road ahead is long. It's not impossible to reach the pinnacle of this continent. I won't say anything about others, but you're different. You have the coveted Dragon Body, and with the Heaven-Devouring Technique, as long as you don't die prematurely, you might be able to reach the Earth Spirit Realm in fifty years."

  "Fifty years."

  Chen Xuan was stunned, this is too long.

  "You're really insatiable, you've only been cultivating for 50 years and you think you can reach the Earth Spirit Realm? Back in my day, I was 70 before I reached that level. And yet, here you are, having guessed the Heaven Devouring Technique through your own efforts. You think the Earth Spirit Realm is something easy to cultivate? But at the same time, it's also possible that you're not like other people."

  "Lai Lao, what realm is above the spiritual land?" Chen Xuan continued to ask.

  "You little brat, just wait until then and you'll know for yourself."
