Ta Tian Qing
Chapter 165 Post-War Reckoning, A Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate!
Why was Lin Chen being fought over now?
First, Lin Chen was strong.
Very strong indeed!
Then, Lin Chen also had three fellow disciples who were equally powerful.
A’Niu.
Said to be not good at fighting.
He had yet to attack anyone directly.
However, when his Azure Ox Dharma form appeared, the five Angel Clan Kings were actually helpless against him!
Of course, Ye Liuli helped too.
But at the beginning, A’Niu didn't want her help.
Sun Lingming goes without saying.
Above the void, he alone could chase and beat the five Angel Clan Kings.
Although he had yet to complete a kill, his strength was no less than that of any Pseudo-God Realm expert.
So…
Just how strong were Zhang Tianwei's disciples?
At this moment, A’Niu walked over, greeting from afar, "Junior Brother, are you done chatting? Master also has something for me to give you."
"Oh, Senior Brother, come over."
Lin Chen immediately responded.
Long Yandao kept a close eye on things. He didn't speak, but he didn't leave either.
A’Niu didn't hide anything. He walked over and said, "The thing is with your Third Senior Sister. Go get it from her later! What I want to tell Junior Brother now is that the three of us will follow you and join the Dragon Spirit Kingdom. What do you think?"
"Great!"
Lin Chen naturally couldn't wish for more.
"Master knew that Junior Brother wouldn't leave the Human Race. When he transmitted his voice to us, he also hoped that we could help take care of the Immortal Spirit Race…" A’Niu mentioned another arrangement of Zhang Tianwei’s: "Master said that the three of us can take turns residing in the three kingdoms, but the specifics are up to you, Junior Brother."
"Okay, that works too."
Lin Chen looked at Long Yandao and gestured with his eyes, "What are you waiting for?"
"Oh!"
Long Yandao reacted. The next moment, his voice shook the world, "Harriet! Bring the Dragon Guardian Army's banner! This general will ascend the stage to confer ranks!"
Soon, the rank-conferring platform was set up.
Long Yandao went on stage and conferred upon Lin Chen’s three fellow disciples the rank of First-Class Dragon Guardian Army Commander.
Liu Mengyao was also First-Class!
After the rank conferment was completed, A’Niu, Sun Lingming, and Ye Liuli were all considered people of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom.
At this moment, the void above also exploded.
Deaths had occurred.
A moment later, Sun Lingming, clad in golden armor, actually transformed into an ape-like form with golden light in his eyes. The next moment, he slammed his staff against the void!
Bang!
The void exploded once again.
Then, two Fallen Angel Kings fell directly.
"Heaven-Piercing Strike!"
Sun Lingming struck the void once again.
Like an eagle catching a rabbit!
Another King's corpse fell.
The third King had been slain!
"Second Senior Brother is too brutal, isn't he?"
Lin Chen was shocked.
"He was forced to reveal his true form. It seems these Angel Clan Kings are also very strong… Normally, your Second Senior Brother can contend against Pseudo-God Realm experts while maintaining his human form," A’Niu explained from the side.
Maintaining human form was enough to contend against Pseudo-God Realm experts.
Then, if it was like this now, with Sun Lingming returning to his ape form?
Lin Chen really wanted to know, so he asked, "What about Second Senior Brother like this now?"
"Now…"
A’Niu smiled and didn't respond.
But Ye Liuli spoke, "Junior Brother, don't you recognize your Second Senior Brother's current form? He is… a Spiritual Stone Monkey bloodline, and the only传承 (chuán chéng - inheritance) existing from the Primordial Era to this day!"
Boom!
Spiritual Stone Monkey!
Then that wasn't…
Lin Chen's mind exploded.
The game "New World" had many elements.
Both Eastern and Western.
However, some things related to Eastern and Western mythology in it had been altered.
For example, the Vermillion Bird!
It belonged to a combination of the Vermillion Bird and the Phoenix… This game was like this, with many settings unique to the game itself.
But Lin Chen never expected that Sun Lingming's setting was actually… a descendant with the bloodline of the Spiritual Stone Monkey!
With this setting, wasn't Second Senior Brother that one?
No wonder he was so strong!
Moreover, one could see a lot of wildness in Sun Lingming.
But because of the existence of the Dao Discussion Pavilion, Sun Lingming was obedient to Zhang Tianwei, and even to Lin Chen, the current successor of the Dao Discussion Pavilion.
Soon, Sun Lingming in his Spiritual Stone Monkey form killed all five Kings!
When Sun Lingming landed in front of everyone, one could see his entire body emitting golden light, and his eyes were even more dazzling… He was simply like a Super Saiyan!
So strong, Second Senior Brother!
Lin Chen could sense that Sun Lingming's stats seemed to be even stronger than his own, who was a high-growth Sky Walker equipped with Divine-Grade treasures!
Soon, the light disappeared…
Sun Lingming returned to his human form, flicked the staff in his hand, and then said, "Junior Brother, release the Dao Discussion Pavilion. I want to sleep."
How individualistic!
But…
Lin Chen shook his hand, "The Dao Discussion Pavilion isn't with me."
"Here."
Ye Liuli handed Lin Chen something that looked like a miniature octagonal pagoda.
This was the Dao Discussion Pavilion!
It could actually be stored away?
It seemed this thing was also a treasure!
At the same time, Ye Liuli took out another thing.
This thing was very much like a pearl, transparent.
It also radiated white light.
And inside the pearl, there was half water.
There was even a huge rock.
Lin Chen stared at the pearl, and at this time, a black shadow flashed inside.
"What is this?" Lin Chen asked, puzzled.
A’Niu smiled, "North Sea Night-Shining Pearl. Inside is that one who was suppressed by Master under the pond outside the Dao Discussion Pavilion… Junior Brother, Master said that she is yours to deal with from now on."
"It?"
Lin Chen was stunned, "Who is it?"
"The daughter of the North Sea Giant Demon, the strongest of the Mermaid race, and also the monarch among the Sea Demons… Junior Brother, you must be careful not to be bewitched by her singing," Ye Liuli reminded with a smile.
Good heavens!
The monarch of the Sea Demons was actually suppressed by Zhang Tianwei?
"Why did Master suppress her?"
Lin Chen now knew it was "her."
A’Niu explained, "That's because the North Sea Giant Demon had some issues with Master back then, and when Master went to investigate the assassination of the Ancestral Master, he encountered the North Sea Giant Demon. It was unwilling to answer Master's questions, so Master suppressed its daughter."
Alright!
It seemed Zhang Tianwei was also a person with a temper.
Just because he didn't get an answer to a question, Zhang Tianwei directly imprisoned the daughter of the North Sea Giant Demon?
That was the North Sea Giant Demon!
It seemed to be the strongest in the Sea Demon race, right?
At this time, four rankings appeared above the void!
It seemed they were about to be updated.
It was indeed time for an update!
After all, many experts had died in today's battle.
Moreover, this battle had lasted almost from morning to night!
Only when it was dark did they have time to rest.
First, the Purple Gold Ranking changed.
First place was still Delgas.
But second place became Lin Chen!
Third place was Sun Lingming!
He had just joined the Dragon Spirit Kingdom and directly came to third place on the Purple Gold Ranking!
Fourth place was Emperor · Judgement.
Judgement had been avoiding battle today, and his ranking only dropped two places. It seemed this guy had some tricks up his sleeve.
Fifth place was the Night Queen.
She had finally taken action.
Moreover, she had seriously injured Emperor · Longyi with a single strike.
Sixth place was Emperor · Gasa.
Seventh place was A’Niu.
Eighth place was Yang Liuxin.
Ninth place was Emperor · Lisa.
Tenth place was Emperor · Longyi!
Long Yandao's ranking rose to thirteenth, which made him feel unlucky.
But he was happy when he saw War King Aligis.
Aligis had only fired one arrow today.
And that arrow was used to light a fire!
So… his ranking was still at the bottom, at 90th place.
Pang Neite and Drunken Breeze still hadn't made it onto the list.
As for the Kill Ranking, Lin Chen was still first, and Jian Nishang was still second.
But Aligis, Long Yandao, and Pang Neite all made it onto the list and received rewards.
On the Assist Ranking, Liu Mengyao was still overwhelmingly in the lead…
A psychic was too strong.
In addition, Kong Yan had been following Liu Mengyao. Although she had been told by Liu Mengyao that she would not return to the Light Saintess Clan, Kong Yan hadn't left. Instead, she constantly glanced at Lin Chen several times, seeming to have something to say to Lin Chen.
However, Lin Chen was still angry with her and deliberately pretended not to see her.
Kong Yan looked very aggrieved.
However, during the process of exterminating the remnants of the Fallen Angels at night, Kong Yan actually went up and killed many Fallen Angel Third-Turn soldiers…
Lin Chen guessed that she was probably planning to give up neutrality and state her position.
But this was because Liu Mengyao's statement forced her to make this choice.
Lin Chen would rather not have it!
So, he didn't bother with her.
Currently, the biggest change was still the Purple Gold Ranking.
First, many Angel Clan experts were killed and directly removed from the list.
Zhang Tianwei was also removed.
Then, the top ten of the ranking were no longer from the Angel Clan.
Lin Chen, Sun Lingming, A’Niu, the Night Queen, and Yang Liuxin, five of them, made it onto the list.
They just happened to be evenly matched with the Angel Clan.
However, Lin Chen still had existences like Ye Liuli who hadn't exerted their full strength.
But excluding the high-end combat power of the top ten, if they were just competing in mid-level combat power, the overall strength of the three-nation alliance of the Human Race, the Elf Race, and the Immortal Spirit Race was actually inferior to the Angel Clan.
After all, Lin Chen only had Long Yandao, Ye Liuli, Drunken Breeze, Aligis, and Pang Neite on his side.
Among them, there were still two who hadn't made it onto the list.
On the Angel Clan's side, there were too many experts in the mid-level combat power.
The Archangel Clan, the Seraphim Clan, the White Angel Clan, and the Radiant Angel Clan still had four Kings each, and the Dark Angel Clan still had two Kings. That was nearly twenty, not to mention the Grand Commanders and Commanders.
This was the powerful foundation after the Angel Clan's peaceful and stable development.
But the rules of the battlefield first looked at high-end combat power.
As long as they could maintain a level playing field in high-end combat power!
What's more…
Next, Lin Chen and the others would also take advantage of the victory to launch a heavy attack!
On the Gold Ranking, Bai Shuyi, who had just entered the Second Turn, made it onto the list, but her ranking was relatively low.
However, the reward for making it onto the list would surely make her stronger!
At night, Lin Chen returned to the main city of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom.
Under the eager gazes of everyone, Lin Chen placed the Dao Discussion Pavilion in the main city, in his own residence.
There was also a pond in this residence.
Next, Lin Chen said to Bai Shuyi, "Anyone from the Blue Star Human Race who has more than thirty skill points, go find out about them and bring them over to me tonight."
"Okay!"
Bai Shuyi asked, "Does Mengyao count?"
"Of course, she counts!"
Lin Chen nodded and then planned to enter the Dao Discussion Pavilion.
Sun Lingming had already gone in to sleep.
In his words, he had slept in the Dao Discussion Pavilion for more than ten years, and he couldn't sleep anywhere else.
Lin Chen had no choice but to let Ye Liuli go to the Elf Race and A’Niu go to the Immortal Spirit Race to guard separately… Long Yandao wasn't interested in the Dao Discussion Pavilion. He was still on the front line of the Captive Dragon Pass, reorganizing the army!
At the same time, he was also using the pure blood energy generated by the many experts who had fallen in today's battle to allow the soldiers to cultivate properly.
Just as Lin Chen was about to push open the Dao Discussion Pavilion, he suddenly heard a voice, "Hey, are you planning to take me in too? I don't want to. It's so stuffy inside… Can you let me out?"
Was it that mermaid?
Lin Chen laughed and said, "I think you're thinking a little too much, aren't you? How could I possibly let you go?"
"Then can you let me go to your pond?"
The mermaid tried to communicate.
Lin Chen was stunned.
After that, he heard a beautiful singing voice…
Lin Chen felt that his whole body was much clearer, and even his Sea of Souls was much quieter.
It seemed all his troubles had disappeared!
"Huh? You're actually not trying to bewitch me like last time?" Lin Chen said.
"You're so strong, is it useful for me to bewitch you?"
The mermaid's voice seemed a little helpless.
Lin Chen nodded and smiled, "Okay, I can let you go to the pond, but if you plan to escape, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Why are you so fierce too?"
The mermaid seemed a little unhappy.
But Lin Chen didn't bother to care whether she was happy or not. Was her happiness more important than his own?
Lin Chen directly threw the North Sea Night-Shining Pearl into the pond.
"Hey, if I don't run away and follow you, would you consider it?"
From the pond came the mermaid's voice.
Lin Chen turned around and saw a beautiful and graceful figure under the moonlight. Her hands were slender, no different from humans. She was lying on the edge of the pond, her long tail playing with the water, causing ripples.
"Following me will be very dangerous!"
Lin Chen's words were equivalent to a rejection.
In fact, he could understand the mermaid's state of mind…
She should also want more freedom and not be suppressed anymore.
But how could Lin Chen bring a trouble to his side?
Even if Lin Chen wanted to leave in the future, he could put her away and suppress her in the Town-Sea Cauldron.
He wouldn't consider taking her with him for the time being.
Lin Chen entered the Dao Discussion Pavilion and indeed saw Ye Liuli still on the first floor.
In fact, Lin Chen couldn't help but suspect… Was Third Senior Sister a little stupid?
Why did she only read the books on the first floor!
Weren't the books on the first floor all Xuanmen (mysterious sect) spells?
Never mind!
Lin Chen went directly to the third floor and found the place where Jian Nishang had stayed last time.
Then, he directly reached out and touched that secret manual.
This was a Xuanmen (mysterious sect) immortal technique!
Cultivating it required one hundred skill points!
And Lin Chen had already advanced to the middle stage of the Divine Envoy Realm.
Now he had 120 extra skill points!
Just enough to learn a Xuanmen (mysterious sect) immortal technique.
But he couldn't learn it randomly.
After all, he couldn't learn something like the Primordial Divine Appearance again, which might touch on the taboos of the gods after using it.
But after Lin Chen finished reading this cultivation technique, he found that it wouldn't touch that taboo.
Because this was a killing move that purely attacked the enemy's Sea of Souls!
The name of this killing move was…
One Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate!
The five chapters are complete!
Today is another day with 20,000 words updated.
I have said thank you many times, and I am afraid that everyone is annoyed. So, see you all tomorrow!
