Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 728: 728

To be more specific, they weren't looking at Long Chen, but at Yue Zifeng, Li Qi, Song Mingyuan, and Guo Ran .

The four of them were all releasing powerful Heavenly Dao fluctuations . That was an inconcealable aura released when someone had just become a Celestial .

The most shocking thing to everyone was that it was the person most lacking in talent, the one who had cried like a dying pig in the storm zone, whose fluctuations were the strongest . Furthermore, there were two kinds of fluctuations coming from him . He was clearly a rank two Celestial .

"How is that possible?!"

Whether it was the Xuantian Dao Sect's disciples, the monastery heads, or even the vice sect master, they were completely shocked .

Although the vice sect master had said that after undergoing the torment in the storm zone, there would be a chance of them becoming Celestials, that was just a chance . The probability definitely wouldn't surpass ten percent . But now, the four that had entered the Nine Netherworld Path had all awakened as Celestials .

Furthermore, one was even a rank two Celestial . If it had been Yue Zifeng or one of the others, that would be acceptable . After all, they had displayed a shocking will in the storm zone . Even the experts admired them . They hadn't made a sound when undergoing that hellish torment .

But it was Guo Ran, the one with the worst talent and the weakest will, who had awakened as a rank two Celestial . That simply didn't make any sense .

However, after a moment of shock, the vice sect master became ecstatic . Although this was inexplicable, it was a great thing for the Xuantian Dao Sect, an incredibly great thing .

The person most excited about this would have to be Shui Wuhen . Now, she had four more Celestials, and one was even a rank two Celestial . It was a pity that Gu Yang hadn't entered the Nine Netherworld Path, or it seemed there would have been a large chance of him becoming a Celestial as well .

Although she didn't know what exactly was going on, she knew it definitely had to do with Long Chen . Even after all this time, she still didn't know his limits .

"What are you looking at? What, you don't want to accept that I'm a rank two Celestial now?! Then let's fight!" Shui Guanzhi and the others' expressions of disbelief irritated Guo Ran, especially that inconcealable envy in Shui Guanzhi's eyes .

"Hmph, even if you've become a rank two Celestial, you're still trash . With your combat strength, any other rank two Celestial would crush you," sneered Shui Guanzhi .

He was entirely correct . Guo Ran would probably even be suppressed by a rank one Celestial . If he wanted to defeat a rank one Celestial, he would have to rely on his Cry of the Heavenly Daos .

Having been exposed, Guo Ran was infuriated . "How dare you look down on me? I'll slap you just like my boss did!" Guo Ran took on a slapping posture . But just as he was about to strike, he 'felt something was wrong' . He raged at Gu Yang and the others, "What are you doing?! Let go of me! I'm going to teach this brat a lesson!"

Only then did Gu Yang and the others realize Guo Ran was just finding a way out for himself . They quickly helped him with his act, pulling on him . After all, brothers had to help each other .

Guo Ran struggled a few times, but his brothers refused to let go of him . He raged at Shui Guanzhi, "Count yourself lucky! I'll give my brothers face this time, but don't let me run into you alone!"

Long Chen was speechless . He sighed . Even as a rank two Celestial, Guo Ran still only had such a low-grade acting ability . He hadn't improved at all .

"Brother, that's pretty much enough . You're a different person from before, and you should change your acting style," whispered Li Qi .

"Did anyone run into something strange inside?" The vice sect master interrupted their messing around .

They hastily became silent and shook their heads, expressing that they hadn't run into anything in particular . Long Chen also naturally wouldn't stupidly stand out, so he shook his head .

Meng Qi looked at Long Chen's solemn expression and couldn't help but feel it was funny . Suddenly, she felt that while she was by his side, he would definitely do unimaginable things constantly, things that could stimulate a person to death .

Furthermore, Long Chen's head was clearly not normal . It seemed there was nothing in this world he didn't dare to do .

Since everyone shook their heads, the vice sect master said, "Something unexpected occurred with the Nine Netherworld Path . I'm glad you're all safe . The interruption of this trial is unavoidable, but don't be disappointed that your profits were lessened . The Dao Sect definitely won't let its disciples suffer . Due to this, the next trial's rewards will be increased .

"Go back and rest . As for when the next trial will begin, we'll have to wait for news from the head sect . This is actually a good thing . Previously, the three trials were all held continuously . But because there was no time to rest, there was also no time to adjust yourselves to your gains in time for the third trial . The third trial's rewards are the greatest, so use this time properly . "

The vice sect master waved his hand, and space twisted . They returned to the Xuantian Plaza .

However, not everyone had returned alive . There were quite a few people lying on the ground as if they were asleep . But their souls had disappeared .

There were over four hundred of them, and this loss made people's hearts sink . They hadn't expected this many talented disciples to die on the Nine Netherworld Path .

Seven members from the thirty-sixth supermonastery had died . That cast a shadow on people's hearts . Their previous excitement diminished .

Reality was just this cruel . If you wanted to get stronger, you had to take risks . No one in this world could become a supreme expert without taking any risks .

If you wanted to become an expert, you had to risk your life . If you didn't want to become an expert, you would have to accept that an expert might take your life at any moment . The cultivation world was just that cruel .

The monastery heads brought their disciples back to their camps . They began to celebrate . Although there had been casualties, that was unavoidable . Those who survived had to continue getting stronger .

Gu Yang and the others were missing from the celebration in the thirty-sixth supermonastery . Gu Yang had gone into seclusion, saying that he would also become a Celestial .

That drew flabbergasted gazes, but Long Chen and the others knew that once he refined the Heavenly Dao Fruit, he would immediately become a Celestial .

There was no way around this . Gu Yang's Spiritual Strength was terrible . In front of the monastery heads, there was no way he could hide the fluctuations of refining a Heavenly Dao Fruit . Now he finally had a chance .

After the celebration, everyone began to cultivate . They had made huge gains in the Xuantian Sea and the Nine Netherworld Path . Thus, they took advantage of this period to absorb these gains so they could be at their peak state for the final trial .

As everyone else went into seclusion, so did Long Chen . His mind entered the primal chaos space, and he saw Huo Long refining pills .

"Five-ring Enlightenment Palace Pills!"

Huo Long was actually able to refine five-ring Enlightenment Palace Pills . It must have absorbed an incredible amount of flame energy from the core of the storm zone . Even its alchemy ability had increased by such a huge amount .

"Huo Long, thank you"! Long Chen saw over a thousand Enlightenment Palace Pills .

Huo Long transformed into a small flame serpent and coiled around Long Chen's arm . It rubbed its head against Long Chen . Long Chen felt a child-like emotion coming from it .

"It's been hard on you . If you're tired, rest . " Long Chen rubbed its head . After comforting it for a while, he left the encampment . He directly rushed off, going outside the Xuantian Dao Sect .

But he had only just reached the gates when a disciple stopped him . "Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, the trial is imminent . If you leave now…"

Long Chen frowned . "Am I not allowed to leave?"

"No, you can . But the third trial might start at any moment . If you're out and don't make in time, that would be a huge loss for you," warned the disciple .

"Haha, that's fine . Thank you for the reminder . But I'll just stroll around . When I hear the bell to gather, I'll immediately return . " Long Chen patted that disciple on the shoulder, grateful for his reminder . He left .

He had no choice but to leave . This number of pills would be enough to truly condense the Enlightenment Palace Star .

Just condensing the cyclone had almost destroyed a training room . Once the cyclone condensed into a star, it would cause a huge disturbance .

Long Chen found a large mountain . From here, the Xuantian Dao Sect was just a dot in the distance . As long as he didn't go too far, it wouldn't disturb the sect, and he would still be able to tell when the trial started .

He began to consume the five-ring Enlightenment Palace Pills, shoving them handful by handful down his throat .

He had to work fast . Once he reached a certain point in condensing the star, he would have no choice but to finish . If he really missed the trial because of that, he would have an urge to kill himself .

Furthermore, he had seen some clues about his origins in the Nine Netherworld Path . Now he wanted to see his parents even more . He had to reach the peak of the cultivation world as fast as possible .

Even something as amazing as Future Lake had been unable to completely divine the past of the jade pendant . That meant some powerful force had disturbed the Reincarnation Mirror . That was enough to prove how shocking his origins had to be .

The thing that startled him the most was that Future Lake had been able to see a corner of his past, but not even the slightest bit about the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art . Just trying to take a peek had caused it to explode . That made him think of some terrifying possibilities .

But the mysteries he had to unravel were too huge, and he still wanted to be able to live after unraveling them .

Three days passed without the slightest sound from the Xuantian Dao Sect . On the other hand, a loud explosive sound suddenly came from Long Chen's hand, and a terrifying energy erupted .
