Chapter 14: Seven Peaks Trial! Begin!

    

Luotianyu this time might allow him to participate in this year's Kyushu Grand Assembly."The Ninth Circuit CouncilFang Chen's heart moved. Before, he had heard Gang Hu mention it once, and the Nine Do...He roared! He grasped the Black Ming Sword and brandished it in the open space!

Every sword strike is extremely fierce! Wide and sweeping! Every move aims for the vital points!

But just as he was about to deliver the final blow! A purple-black sword aura burst out! It exploded suddenly two zhang away! Vanishing into nothingness!

Fang Chen frowned: "The final strike should have been the most powerful, yet I was unable to merge sword energy and demonic energy into one. It seems I need to cultivate further understanding and practice. Otherwise, mastering the first layer of this fierce demonic sword technique will not be so easy."

While the demonic cultivation techniques boast a rapid cultivation speed, they aren't something everyone can quickly master.

Now, the only way to thoroughly master it is through constant ascetic practice.

Fang Chen immediately sat down again and continued to contemplate the fierce Demonic Sword Technique!

Time flies, the Qifeng assessment is coming soon.

Fang Chen sat cross-legged in the courtyard. At this moment, the courtyard was already devastated, a mess of broken rubble.

Suddenly! His aura surged wildly! He had unexpectedly broken through to the sixth level of the Gathering Spirit Realm!

He opened his eyes, feeling the changes around him. There was a hint of joy in his eyes.

"Not only have I broken through to the sixth level of the Gathering Spirit Realm, but the Lining Sword Demon Art has also been cultivated to the second level!"

Luo Yun, Su Wan'er, I want to see how you can stop me from passing the Seven Peaks Assessment!

Just when Fang Chen was gritting his teeth, the small tower in his dantian trembled slightly, but soon returned to normal.

Fang Chen naturally felt the changes in Xiao Ta, and was overjoyed instantly.

"The second level of the Little Tower has been opened!"

He had a thought, and entered the small tower again!

Upon returning to the first floor of the small tower, there was no change. The only difference was that the stone staircase leading to the second floor was now open.

Fang Chen hesitated for no moment, taking the first step into it.

The second floor remained unchanged, still with a table and a box.

"I don't know if there is still Sword Demon's blood in the second layer.

Fang Chen secretly looked forward to it, the Sword Demon's blood brought him great benefits, he naturally hoped there was more.

He then opened the wooden box.

When Fang Chen saw what was inside, a glimmer flashed in his eyes.

Inside, there was the blood of the Sword Demon! And two drops of it as well!

"As I expected!"

Fang Chen was overjoyed, but immediately he discovered a faint ball of light in the corner of the wooden box.

"What is this"

He gazed in bewilderment, and at that moment, two drops of the Sword Demon's blood had already entered his body, appearing in his dantian.

But the excruciating pain like last time didn't appear, and the Sword Demon's blood hadn't fused into my body even a fraction.

It seems that after one fusion, I won't need to fuse autonomously anymore. Instead, I can choose when to fuse again.

Fang Chen secretly thought to himself, and immediately turned his gaze towards the star cluster.

"What is this"

He reached out his hand, and the instant it touched the orb of light!

A beam of light entered his mind!

Suddenly! A wave of unfamiliar inherited memories flooded his mind!

After an unknown amount of time, Fang Chen finally calmed down.

But at this moment, he was filled with boundless excitement because the orb of light turned out to be an inheritance! And it was a Dan Dao inheritance!

"It was actually the memory inheritance of a Sixth Rank Dan Dao Grandmaster!"

You should know that in the Eastern Divine Region, a fifth-rank alchemist is already considered top-tier, and a sixth-rank master is only one!

Bai Bai picked up the complete transmission of a sixth-rank Grandmaster, how could Fang Chen not be excited!

After a moment, he calmed down: "This is not the time to ponder this inheritance. The Qifeng Assessment will be starting soon, and we should set off."

He came out of the small tower and into the hall, where he saw his master's wife, Qiu Mei.

"Madam Fang Chen bows respectfully."

"Xiao Fang, are you done with your cultivation" Qiumei was weaving at the moment and when she saw Fang Chen arrive, she smiled.

Although Tianyangzi had prepared a lifetime's worth of worldly wealth for his master wife before his death, she was not a woman who could rest idle. So from time to time, she would weave some clothes.

Fang Chen, from childhood to adulthood, all of his clothing was woven by his master's wife.

"This coming autumn, Mei smiled and said, "I've knitted a new coat for you. Try it on and see if it fits."

"It was Fang Chen who nodded and took the coat."

This is a white and blue patterned long coat. When Fang Chen puts it on, his already handsome face becomes even more lively and energetic.

Autumn Plum looked at it afterwards and sighed, "Oh, time flies! Back then, little Fang who was shorter than me by half a head is now this tall."

Fang Chen understood, his master's wife was missing her husband and home.

Master is not here now, but their home is still on the Seventh Peak.

Fang Chen said firmly: "Master, rest assured, today is the Qifeng Assessment. The disciple promises you that he will definitely bring you back to the Seventh Peak!"

Autumn Plum looked at Fang Chen's resolute expression and once again revealed a kind smile: "Good, Mistress believes you can definitely do it."

Afterward, Fang Chen bid farewell to Qiu Mei and went to Wuming Peak.

Wordless Peak.

The Qifeng Examination Ground, situated in a vast expanse behind the mountains, was now teeming with people. A sea of faces stretched as far as the eye could see, with over ten thousand individuals present.

Of course, half of them are just here for the excitement. The rest in the center of the square are the outer disciples who participated in this year's Qifeng assessment.

Most people's cultivation levels were between the seventh and eighth level of Gathering Spirits, because everyone knew that the Seven Peaks Assessment required at least the seventh level of Gathering Spirits to be possible to pass.

Of course, there are also quite a few who are at the ninth level of Gathering Spirits. They deliberately wait until they reach the ninth level before participating, and the reason is very simple: the rewards.

Top ten performers in each assessment will receive some rewards, and the first place reward is especially generous.

Therefore, even if one already has the ability to enter the inner sect, they would rather stay in the outer sect and wait until they have enough confidence before participating.

Of course, there are also some who only have the cultivation of the sixth level of Gathering Spirits. Most of these people don't think they can pass, and they participate just to learn something for the next Seven Peaks assessment.

And Fang Chen was among them.

He is only at the most inconspicuous spot in the square, waiting for the assessment to begin.

"Look! Isn't that Lin Luoer!"

"Wow! It really is her! At only fifteen years old, she's already at the ninth level of Gathering Spirit! She's the top favorite to win this assessment!"

The appearance of a young girl in the crowd attracted a lot of attention.

The young girl had bright and spirited eyes, elegant eyebrows, a straight nose, and a charming dimple on her cheek. She was exceptionally beautiful.

She was just a little cold, and didn't like being the center of attention.

Luo Ao is here too!

Someone exclaimed again, attracting the attention of many people.

"Luo Ao! The nephew of Luo Yun, the genius of the Second Peak of the Inner Gate! At only seventeen years old, he has reached the peak of the Ninth Layer of Gathering Spirits! He is also a hot favorite for this year's champion!"

"I reckon the winner of this first round will be decided between those two."

"Yes, yes, yes"

Hearing this name, Fang Chen frowned and looked over.

Only to see Luo Ao amidst the crowd, enjoying with a proud face the adoring gaze of others.

And beside him was another familiar face, Su Wan'er.

Before this, she had said that she would definitely not pass the Qifeng Assessment this time, so naturally, she would also come to participate in the assessment.

After Su Wan'er arrived, she looked around the Western Zhou area as if searching for someone.

When I saw Fang Chen that day, I was overjoyed and immediately glared at him menacingly. Then, in a low voice to Luo Ao beside me, I said: “This is Fang Chen.”

Luo Ao, upon hearing this, also looked towards Fang Chen. However, his expression was full of contempt and disdain.

"Is that the person your cousin said he wanted to kill"

He led Su Wan'er to Fang Chen.

"Are you Fang Chen"

Luo Ao looked down at Fang Chen with disdain, his eyes full of arrogance, as if he were looking at an ant.

Su Wan'er Yin smiled at Fang Chen, looking like she was looking at a dead person: "You bastard actually dared to come! You're really tired of living!"

Immediately, she turned to Xi Zhou and said, "Look everyone, this is the fool Fang Chen from five years ago! He destroyed his cultivation to become a disciple and guard the tomb! How ridiculous!"

Having said that, many people immediately remembered what happened back then.

"Wasn't that the fool from back then"

"That's hilarious, sacrificing himself to be a tomb guardian. So filial!"

This is not filial piety, this is foolishness.

"Haha!"

Everyone looked at Fang Chen with a mocking gaze, as if he were an idiot.

Though Fang Chen felt a bit of sarcasm in Zhou Li's words, he didn't let it faze him too much.

He was too lazy to say anything, it wasn't necessary.

Luo Ao said coldly: "I'll give you a chance. Demolish your cultivation and get out, continue to guard that grave for your master. Perhaps I can spare your life."

His tone was commanding, leaving no room for Fang Chen to refuse.

Fang Chen gazed at him faintly and asked, "Really"

Luo Aoyan said proudly: "Naturally"

Fang Chen heard this and sneered, saying, "You really think you're someone Reaching the peak of Gathering Spirits at seventeen I was already there before I was ten. Who do you think you are"

Luo Ao's arrogant expression vanished instantly, replaced by an icy coldness.

All the people of West Zhou were silent, Fang Chen was provoking Luo Ao!

"Alright, very good. After a moment of silence, Luo Ao said coldly: "Don't meet me during the Qifeng assessment, I will definitely let you know what it means to be worse than death."

"Bastard, you're dead!" Su Wan'er also sneered, feeling that Fang Chen was sure to die.

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, eyes of mockery, pity, and schadenfreude fell upon Fang Chen. Offending Luo Ao outside the sect was simply courting death.

"Quiet! The bigwigs are here!"

In the distance, someone stepped in and shouted. Suddenly, everyone's eyes were drawn to the high platform at the front of the main hall, where more than ten figures had appeared at some point.

Most of these people are elderly, including both outer sect elders and inner sect elders.

When everyone looked at the person at the head, they were all stunned.

She was a young girl, wearing a tight red dress that outlined her curves. Her snow-white legs were even more perfect as they peeked out from under the skirt!

And to top it all off, she had a face that was breathtakingly beautiful and captivating! It left every man in the room utterly mesmerized.

And she, was Meng Yao, also one of the supervisors elders this time. astonished!"This is actually the divine weapon from legend!"Where did these mermaids get their divine weapons fromSteve then said: "This is perfectly normal. When the mainland split apart back then,...
