EBE Chapter 259 Deputy Hall Master, Beyond the Heavens?
Chapter 259 Deputy Hall Master, Beyond the Heavens?
It should be noted that even for Zhang Zhixiao, the level of his Boundary Power is only high-level.
The power of the highest realm almost touched upon a trace of the power of law!
No wonder Yang Jian was able to crush Zhang Zhixiao even without using his Soul-Shocking Technique, Sacred Runes, or Life Soul.
When cultivation levels are roughly the same, the level of boundary power has a huge impact!
"I...I give up!"
Finally, within the barrier, Zhang Zhixiao could no longer withstand the pressure and admitted defeat.
If this continues, he will be crippled by Yang Jian!
And this was also the first prodigy at the Prodigy Banquet to be beaten to the point of admitting defeat.
Zhang Zhixiao is still in second place!
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian did not continue to exert pressure. After withdrawing his hand, he picked up the ancient spear and left the barrier.
He didn't even glance at Zhang Zhixiao again.
And this way of winning is absolutely humiliating.
Zhang Zhixiao knelt on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.
The physical pain could not mask the sense of shame in his heart.
His Heavenly Fire Domain is the second largest of the thirty-six domains, and there are quite a few Saint Kings within its Dao Palace. Today's battle will bring shame to all cultivators from the Heavenly Fire Domain!
He too will become a sinner in the Heavenly Fire Domain!
"hateful!"
In the end, Zhang Zhixiao could only endure the excruciating pain of his shattered bones and leave Tianxuan Palace.
In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Yang Jian once again.
This mysterious junior from the Tianfeng Domain has already proven his strength in a single battle.
Even Lei Tong frowned deeply at this moment.
The power of a top-tier realm—his talent is already almost on par with his.
In other words, if Yang Jian were to challenge him, he would only have a 70% chance of winning.
Previously, he had never taken the younger generation of cultivators of the *** seriously, but now he felt threatened.
This Yang Jian will definitely become his strongest opponent in the future.
Yu Fei, on the other hand, couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Luckily, Yang Jian challenged Zhang Zhixiao, not her, otherwise she would be the one making a fool of herself now!
Thus, Lei Tong, who was ranked first in the end, also got up and came to the center of the hall.
However, he was just going through the motions.
Because no one would challenge him.
Lei Tong was quite famous. As the number one power in the Thirty-Six Domains, he should have entered the Dao Palace to cultivate half a year ago.
At that time, there were simply not enough spots available, so Lei Tong not only possessed the highest cultivation level and talent for enlightenment, but also had the unparalleled support of the Heavenly Thunder Domain.
Unless someone is mentally ill, no one would challenge him.
Seeing that no one was challenging him, Lei Tong returned to his seat in disappointment.
Sometimes being number one can be lonely, like at this Heavenly Pride Banquet, where he didn't even have a chance to show his skills.
Feng Ruoxi was even more puzzled.
Because the competition between these geniuses had ended, but she had not found any clues about that person.
Could it be that the people in the Enlightenment Pool before were not these new juniors who had just entered the Dao Palace?
"Heh, what am I thinking? How could these junior disciples possibly be at the core of the Enlightenment Pool?"
Feng Ruoxi cursed herself inwardly.
How easy is it to reach the very center of the Enlightenment Pool?
Even within the Tianquan Palace, there are definitely no more than three peers who possess this ability!
And those who can comprehend the most advanced lineage are even fewer.
Thinking of this, Feng Ruoxi suddenly stood up and was escorted out by the Tianxuan Palace Master and a group of Holy Kings.
In fact, she didn't even give any of the prodigies a review.
The only thing they discussed was Gu Jiancheng's rare Qiankun Technique.
This caused many younger cultivators to look at Gu Jiancheng with resentment.
It must be admitted that, looking at all the battles today, Gu Jiancheng, Li Nezha, and Yang Jian were the most exciting.
Among them, Gu Jiancheng, who was originally last place, has now jumped into the top five, generating a lot of buzz.
The two outstanding talents from the Mo Domain and the Holy Domain who entered the Dao Palace with Gu Jiancheng are now green with envy.
Why are they all ranked at the very bottom, but Gu Jiancheng jumped into the top five after one battle?
They didn't even have the courage to go up and fight, are they weaker than Gu Jiancheng?!
Just because of a strange supernatural power, in their eyes, Gu Jiancheng was no different from cheating, and they were not convinced!
"Okay, let's go!"
But Shangguan Lin, who was satisfied, had already gotten up and left with Gu Jiancheng.
Today, he has achieved his goal, and won quite well.
To Gu Jiancheng's surprise, Shangguan Lin did not ask him to return to his cave, but instead led him to the foot of a mountain deep within the Tianxuan Palace.
At the foot of the mountain stood a secluded and elegant mansion, and under his divine eyes, Gu Jiancheng discovered that an extremely powerful aura was hidden within it.
His cultivation level is so high that he has probably reached the peak of the third level of Saint King!
Even a moment later, the sound of air being torn apart rang out behind the two of them. Gu Jiancheng turned around and was shocked to find that it was actually the two Holy Kings who had brought Li Nezha and Yang Jian down.
They actually came too!
"Could it be that Shangguan Lin wants to tell me who the power behind me is?" Gu Jiancheng thought to himself.
After all, Shangguan Lin only told him that it was one of the four major forces behind the Dao Palace, but he didn't say who it was.
"Now that we're here, let's just come in."
At this moment, the gate of the mansion was pushed open by two children, and a sound came from inside.
Shangguan Lin smiled at Gu Jiancheng and then led him and the others into the courtyard.
In front of a small pond in the courtyard, Gu Jiancheng saw an old man wearing a straw hat and hemp clothing. He was sitting cross-legged on a boulder, fishing with a fishing rod in his hand.
But Gu Jiancheng was surprised to find that the fishing rod had no fishing line.
how!?
Is this some kind of fishing game?
Moreover, in that instant, Gu Jiancheng thought of Jiang Ziya.
Could it be that this means "willing victims take the bait"?
"Vice Hall Master, the Heavenly Pride Banquet has ended, and we have all completed our tasks according to plan!"
Shangguan Lin stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting.
Deputy Hall Master!?
Upon seeing this, Gu Jiancheng couldn't help but gasp.
Who would have thought that this old man in hemp clothing had such a powerful background!
The deputy hall master of Tianxuan Palace?
Even if the Tianxuan Palace's status is not as high as the other three palaces, this deputy palace master is definitely a high-ranking member of the Dao Palace, right?
"Hmm, very good, you certainly didn't disappoint me."
"In that case, let's continue according to the plan."
The old man nodded, then put down his fishing rod and stood up to look at Gu Jiancheng and the other two.
His gaze swept over the three of them one by one, until it finally landed on Gu Jiancheng, at which point his gaze paused slightly.
"Oh!? This must be the Saint Domain prodigy you mentioned. His cultivation isn't high, but he still managed to get into the top five. Not bad, his talent is truly amazing, haha!" The deputy hall master suddenly laughed.
"You flatter me, senior!" Gu Jiancheng stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said.
"No need to be modest."
"This tea is a reward for you. Keep up the good work!"
The old man raised his hand and left three cups of steaming tea on the boulder behind him before suddenly disappearing into thin air without a trace.
"Hehe, alright, here's your reward for completing the mission, go get it!"
At this moment, Shangguan Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled.
As soon as the voice faded, Li Nezha rushed over, picked up the hot tea and gulped it down. He then patted his belly comfortably, looking as if he hadn't had enough.
Gu Jiancheng and Yang Jian stepped forward slowly and picked up the hot tea.
Gu Jiancheng's pupils dilated upon seeing the hot tea.
Because this tea was not unfamiliar to him; he had drunk it the first time he met Shangguan Lin.
However, the cup bestowed by the Palace Master this time is much more concentrated, and the energy contained within it is also much stronger!
This reward is quite substantial!
After all, Gu Jiancheng's cultivation broke through to the mid-stage of the Dao Integration Realm because of a cup of tea.
Without hesitation, Gu Jiancheng drank the cup of tea in one gulp.
In an instant, an abundance of energy spread throughout Gu Jiancheng's body, and his cultivation level began to increase dramatically!
After a few breaths, he reached the mid-stage of the Dao Integration Realm!
Although he still hadn't broken through to a higher realm, Gu Jiancheng was already quite satisfied.
After all, he is currently desperately short of resources.
"Shangguan, I'm entrusting these three disciples to you. The front lines are tough; let's get there as soon as possible to help."
At this moment, the other two holy kings suddenly came to say goodbye.
"Yes, I know. You guys go ahead. I'll be there soon too!"
Shangguan Lin nodded.
After watching the two Holy Kings leave, he turned around and looked at Gu Jiancheng and the other two.
"Alright, you can get to know each other now. From today onwards, you will be friends."
Shangguan Lin's expression became more serious than ever before.
"Haha, do we even need to recognize each other?"
"You two are both very strong, so you'll have to take care of your younger brother from now on!"
Before Gu Jiancheng and Yang Jian could speak, Li Nezha laughed.
He was the youngest, and although he had a wild personality, he was also easier to get along with.
"Ah."
Gu Jiancheng and Yang Jian nodded almost simultaneously.
There was not much communication between them.
"Senior, what is our next task?"
At this moment, Gu Jiancheng suddenly asked.
He didn't want to stay in the cave to cultivate forever; he needed resources to cultivate and he needed to enter the Saint Realm as soon as possible.
"Senior, how can I quickly gain merit points?" Yang Jian asked.
"Hehe, I knew you guys would ask that."
Shangguan Lin smiled, then his expression turned serious again, and he said in a deep voice, "Soon, you will all be going to fight in the Outer Heavens."
"The missions and the rewards will all take place there!"
"The Outer Heavens!?" Gu Jiancheng and the other two exchanged glances, all puzzled.
What is this "outer heaven"?
