Capítulo 1003: Chapter 390: Eternal Wall If it weren’t for the Vengeance Blade not yet taking shape, requiring the Domineering Body from cross training to compensate, and the system’s assistance, he wouldn’t have been distracted by cultivating the Nine Refinements of Extreme Essence Purple Gold Body. Training in external skills is extremely troublesome, not only needing a vast amount of herbs, but also requiring a lot of time to hone the physical body. “However, thinking back now, if I had spent more time back then practicing cross training methods, I wouldn’t have been ambushed by them two years ago.” Chu Yunyun’s voice carried a hint of regret: “Your Vengeance Blade is already taking shape, and in the future, with the Mirror Heaven Skill alone, many techniques will find it hard to harm you. But since you’ve reached this point with cross training in external skills, just keep going. You’ll find it useful sooner or later. In Martial Arts cultivation, it’s best not to have any weak points.” Chu Xisheng solemnly nodded slightly. There’s already been so much sunk cost; it would be a pity not to continue. He then patted his heart, communicating with Little Flat Head using his Primordial Spirit. Little Flat Head, originally nestled near his heart sleeping, was awakened by the Blood Flame of Ten Thousand Ages of Blood. When it perceived Chu Xisheng’s thoughts, it responded with immense joy. Really? Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn NoveI[F]ire.net Can I really come out, no longer needing to hide within my master? I won’t need to limit my actions, confined to the tiny space near my master? Chu Xisheng’s lips curled into a slight smile. No one in this world can take Little Flat Head away from him anymore; he no longer needs to cover up his identity as the Blood Vengeance Saint. Little Flat Head immediately darted out of his body. However, after coming out, it didn’t run around recklessly. Instead, it restrained its excitement, hiding its body inside Chu Xisheng’s clothes, poking its head slightly out of the collar, observing the outside realm. It knew that Chu Yunyun’s Suan Ni usually did so. Little Flat Head believed it had lived for tens of thousands of years, its physical form having entered the adolescent stage, needing to be steady. Moreover, the environment in this Cloud Sea Immortal Palace was indeed dangerous, lurking with many forces that made Little Flat Head’s Spiritual Sense feel threatened. It is now so happy, so happy it could almost jump up. Little Flat Head wanted to act recklessly once, to let loose, running as it pleased, but it thought it could wait until leaving this damned place before indulging. As Chu Xisheng lifted the restrictions on it, the restlessness and annoyance in Little Flat Head’s heart had already been mostly dispelled. Moments later, before everyone, the lights and shadows shifted, and they arrived at another location through the Light Gate. This seemed to be another floor of the Divine Cloud Tower, and Chu Xisheng quickly scanned the surroundings, noticing that the north, south, east, and west of this floor each stretched fifty miles, with red railings and large stone pillars on all sides. The golden light from the Two Books of Precepts shone from the outside, making the entire floor spacious and bright. The golden bricks on the ground, along with many elaborately carved beams and pillars, all glimmered with brilliance, shimmering with Zhu Guangbaoqi. Chu Xisheng’s gaze then fell ahead. Here were three huge chessboards, each about a hundred zhang in length and width. In front of the three chessboards stood an Independent Cultivator, the Divine Turtle Wanderer. In the distance was ‘East Heavenly King’ Wang Dongtian, as well as two teams, Sword Qi Xiao Xin and Canghai Stone. The majority of these twelve people looked solemn, eyes filled with vigilance as they watched them. Among them, Sword Qi Xiao Xin and Canghai Stone, looked particularly pale, devoid of any blood. It seemed although he had escaped from Chu Yunyun’s spear, he still suffered significant injuries. “These two sides—” Jian Cangfeng thoughtfully scanned the two teams: “They seem to have formed an alliance, but it’s not just a simple alliance.” It’s normal for the two sides to team up. Facing the pressure from the mysterious expert and Wen Zhiyi, they only had a little chance of resistance by joining forces. However, judging from the positioning of these two groups, it seemed to be a systematic Battle Formation. Chu Yunyun’s eyes shone with a different light. This is Chan Sect’s—Liangyi Dutian Formation! As both sides stood hundreds of zhang apart, confronting each other across the distance, a Silver-armored Girl appeared on this floor. It was indeed Wen Zhiyi, she was transported to the east side, six hundred zhang away from both parties. Behind her, members from Extreme East Ice City also gradually appeared. Wen Zhiyi’s arrival not only disrupted the balance here but also brought the ‘Divine Turtle Wanderer’ to life. “All those involved have arrived, the sixth challenge starts. I, in my life, deeply love chess, thus the sixth challenge is a real-life chess battle. In chess, each side has sixteen pieces, and each of your teams of six can replace six of them, following the commands of your respective general. The victor can ascend the rooftop of the Divine Cloud Building, to the Ancient Emperor’s Divine Court!” When Divine Turtle Wanderer mentioned ‘rooftop of the Divine Cloud Building, Ancient Emperor’s Divine Court,’ everyone’s expressions tensed. Chu Xisheng also slightly raised his eyebrows. It seems this is the final hurdle, the last contest. The Divine Turtle Wanderer then swept his sleeves, revealing a tube of sticks before him: “Your opponents are decided by drawing lots. There are red, yellow, and blue colors, each with two sticks.” At this moment, he glanced over everyone, immediately pulling two bamboo sticks from the tube: “Only four teams have passed, hence we are canceling the blue color.” ‘East Heavenly King’ Wang Dongtian imperceptibly furrowed his brows. According to the rules of the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace, the second challenge should have eliminated two-fifths, then half in the Wind God Tower, and half again in the Divine Cloud Tower. In terms of probability, indeed, six teams should have made it here, just enough for three chess matches. But in the end, only four teams made it here. He thought this Divine Turtle Wanderer could ease up a little, allowing three teams to enter the top floor together.
