Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 2125 Raw 2230 : Succeeding in Pairs

The loser’s arena battles were still ongoing. Lei Hao had opted out, but Yun Fei was still fighting in the endless battles.

The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor was still around. After Xiao Chen took his leave from Shangguan Yun, he did not rush to leave. He waited with Lei Hao to see Yun Fei’s results.

“Congratulations, Little Brother Xiao Chen.”

Lei Hao looked somewhat enviously at Xiao Chen. By entering the Heavenly Alliance, becoming a super faction member, Xiao Chen gained a great advantage over cultivators who were not members of a super faction, cultivators like him. Xiao Chen’s cultivation path would be much smoother in the future.

Thinking of this, Lei Hao felt somewhat sorrowful. Who did not want to go further on the path of cultivation?

“Many thanks, Big Brother Lei Hao.”

Xiao Chen could make out Lei Hao’s disappointment. Thus, he softly consoled Lei Hao. Of one million Sovereign Personages, only one hundred in the winner’s group and ten in the loser’s group could succeed, a total of one hundred and ten.

Most of the people got eliminated. It was not that Lei Hao was weak; the test was just too cruel.

Lei Hao looked at Xiao Chen and said, “Little Brother, don’t worry about me. After this failure, I only hope to break through to Sovereign Emperor in the future. While I no longer aim high, it will not be tiring.”

The two discussed in soft voices, casually chatting and exchanging information about the winner’s battles and the loser’s battles.

“Four heaven-defying experts appeared in this Heavenly Alliance’s test. Little Brother Xiao Chen, you have to pay attention to them during the ranking battles in the future,” Lei Hao seriously told Xiao Chen. Compared to Xiao Chen, he seemed to understand more about the situation of the Heavenly Alliance’s tests.

Heaven-defying experts?

What was a heaven-defying expert? Sovereign Personages who could crush the other geniuses during the second stage as though they were still in the first stage were heaven-defying experts.

Xiao Chen and Gong Liangyu could not be considered heaven-defying experts. When the numbers reduced to the final thirty in their secret realm, everyone’s strength was roughly similar.

The only difference was mental state, a matter of whose mental state surpassed the others. The one who surpassed the others gained more opportunities.

The heaven-defying Sovereign Personages appeared significantly stronger than the others. Mental state could not affect the situation.

The difference in strength was too great. Even if such a heaven-defying Sovereign Personage did not pay attention and got careless, he would still win.

Such participants could be considered unrivaled among Sovereign Personages, heaven-defying people.

Xiao Chen thought, It is not surprising that such heaven-defying Sovereign Personages appeared.

After all, the requirement on participants is Sovereign Personages under five hundred years old. If I had three hundred years, I would be confident of crushing Gong Liangyu and Lin Xi without any pressure.

However, Xiao Chen still felt surprised at four such Sovereign Personages appearing this time.

“Which four?”

Lei Hao said sullenly, “Saber Demon Wu Meng, he is a monster from the Tianwu Dynasty testing zone. He was the one who eliminated me. He did that in one saber strike; I got sent out even before I clearly saw it. Just thinking of that fellow’s expression still gives me chills. With just one look, I knew I would lose.”

“Saber Demon Wu Meng? He is a Demonic Dao cultivator?”

Lei Hao quickly denied, “How could that be possible? The Demonic Dao Hall and the Underworld God Hall are our mortal enemies—a relationship where one side has to perish. The Heavenly Alliance cannot possibly accept Demonic Dao cultivators. He is called the Saber Demon because of his style. His saber moves are as terrifying as demons.”

Xiao Chen’s heart skipped a beat. It looked like he had to be careful not to expose his Demonic Cloud Heaven Swallowing Art.

“As for the other three, they are Grim Reaper Lin Feng, Sword Venerate Gongzi Lan, and Spear Sovereign Mo Yu. Among which, Grim Reaper Lin Feng is the most terrifying. Many people say that he might be the strongest participant in this Heavenly Alliance’s test. After this ends, he will receive many benefits.”

Xiao Chen wrote all these names in his heart. Then, he asked Lei Hao for paintings of these people.

After entering the Heavenly Alliance, they still had to undergo a ranking battle, fighting each other. The ranking would affect the final reward and whether one could attract a true expert within the Heavenly Alliance.

After Lei Hao gave Xiao Chen everything, he smiled and said, “Little Brother Xiao Chen, besides these four, your fame within this Heavenly Alliance’s test is no less than theirs. In fact, you might be more famous.”

“What do you mean?”

“Earlier, someone said that if you could enter the Heavenly Alliance, you would be the youngest member in history. It is not just this test but all the past tests since the establishment of the Heavenly Alliance. You are the youngest member.”

That really seemed to be the case. The other factions had many outstanding talents like Xiao Chen. For example, the Martial God Palace, which controlled the eight great empires, or the Universe Origin Sect, which controlled the Tianwu Dynasty, held a much greater attraction for outstanding talents than the Heavenly Alliance.

In reality, Xiao Chen should have entered the Martial God Palace had nothing gone wrong.

“Xiao Chen!”

As Xiao Chen and Lei Hao chatted, Nangong Feng walked over. After calling out to Xiao Chen, Nangong Feng greeted Xiao Chen and said with a smile, “We will be entering the Heavenly Alliance together three days later. We should look out for each other then. The Desolate City test zone is relatively weaker. If we are not united, we might be bullied.”

“Indeed.”

Xiao Chen still did not have much of an impression of Nangong Feng, so he just nodded slightly in agreement.

This was good. In any case, Xiao Chen would not take the initiative to provoke the other party. Since the other party wanted to remain on good terms, he could take this easy.

“What are you two doing? Why are you not leaving yet?” Nangong Feng asked softly with a smile after seeing Xiao Chen nod.

Lei Hao answered, “We are waiting for my Senior Brother Yun Fei. He is in the loser’s battles.”

“If he is still not eliminated by this point and did not die, there is great hope for him to obtain one of the top ten slots for the loser’s group,” Nangong Feng said softly after thinking for a while.

The light screens did not show the loser’s arena battles. People could only guess the results.

These words cast a shadow in the hearts of Xiao Chen and Lei Hao.

Indeed, it was easy to imagine the two possible reasons for not coming out yet at this point. The loser’s arena should already be reaching its end. One either was still fighting or had already died, unable to be sent out.

“Hopefully, Yun Fei is still fighting.”

Xiao Chen wished Yun Fei luck in his heart. This test was very cruel. No matter the result, he hoped that the people he knew would survive.

Just at this moment, Shangguan Yun, who was on his throne in the Starry Heavens, received some information. Then, he loudly proclaimed, “The loser’s arena just ended!”

“Whoosh!”

Right after the purple-haired old man spoke, a light flashed. Then, a fatigued Yun Fei covered in injuries appeared before everyone.

After a moment of shock, the entire place erupted in thunderous applause. Everyone went wild.

Success!

Someone from the Desolate City testing zone managed to survive to the end of the interminable slaughter in the loser’s arena, obtaining one of the ten slots in a competition between one million people.

Shock flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes. He could not help clapping along with everyone.

Nangong Feng said in awe, “It is extremely difficult to last to the end in the loser’s arena. Calling it a miracle is no exaggeration.”

Lei Hao exclaimed with some excitement, “He really succeeded. Haha! Now, two people under Master managed to enter the Heavenly Alliance.”

Before everyone’s eyes, Yun Fei stepped forward and arrived before the purple-haired old man to receive the reward from Shangguan Yun.

Yun Fei’s success, in addition to Xiao Chen’s and Nangong Feng’s, meant that three people from the Desolate City testing zone entered the Heavenly Alliance.

“Congratulations. Now, one more of the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor’s followers entered the Heavenly Alliance. I will take my leave first.”

Nangong Feng smiled as he gave his congratulations. Then, he left. He believed that his master would probably feel very depressed.

After waiting for so long, the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor’s group managed to obtain a good result. Yun Fei had emerged victorious in the loser’s arena.

After everything ended, Old Cui gathered the three and said with a smile, “Come back with me first. The City Lord and the other Sovereign Emperors have some things to discuss. This time, you managed to bring glory to the City Lord. Now, no one will speak behind his back anymore.”

Two days later, Xiao Chen and Yun Fei received the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor’s summons in their Desolate City residence.

Before this, Xiao Chen had returned fifty million Primeval Heavenly Pills to the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor.

The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor did not stand on ceremony, taking back the Primeval Heavenly Pills. Xiao Chen now did not lack Primeval Heavenly Pills.

“You will be leaving in one more day. I really feel reluctant to part,” the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor said somewhat ruefully. Then, he looked at Xiao Chen and said, “This is especially so for you, Xiao Chen. We have not truly interacted with each other for even one month yet.”

The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor wanted to say something but discovered he did not have much to say. After all, he was not good at expressing himself and his emotions.

“I will not speak unnecessary things. What do you want to know about the Heavenly Alliance’s headquarters? You can ask what you want. This is the time to tell you, and it will not count as leaking secrets.”
