Chapter 92
Ten years.
A few tens of thousands of years ago, it was just a tea gathering sponsored by the Chosen of the major regions. However, as time went by, the influence and scale of the tea gathering grew larger and larger. Now, it was a flourishing era that gathered the Chosen of the major regions!
Those who were allowed to participate must be Chosen of the younger generation. Each of them was one of the Top Ten existences in their respective regions rankings after ten years of cultivation!
In their respective Regions, they were all top geniuses with enormous influence.
Now that all of these geniuses had gathered together, the attention they brought was obvious.
Black Wind Region, Black Flame Kingdom, Black Water City.
Countless young cultivators had entered the Black Wind Region a year ago. These were the local cultivators of the Black Wind Region, and because they were close, they were well informed, so it was easy to come.
Now that the Chosen Assembly was about to be held, not only was it limited to the Black Wind Region but there were even many young cultivators from other major regions pouring into Black Water City like piles.
The reason for that was because the influence was too great, and the requirements to be allowed to participate in the meeting were extremely strict. On the contrary, it attracted more and more people and flocked to this.
Hundreds of years ago, some cultivators had come to the Chosen Assembly. After returning, they had received the praises of their fellow disciples. Some of the things that came out of the Chosen’s Meeting had been sold out at high prices.
This was extremely profitable!
Who didn’t know that the Chosen Assembly was gathering all of the Chosen?
Some of them were geniuses that couldn’t be hidden from the world. They only kept their names and rankings in the outside world. Who wouldn’t want to see such geniuses?
They couldn’t enter the Chosen’s Assembly. They surrounded the Chosen’s Assembly, and it wasn’t that bad.
“Look! That’s our Black Wind Domain’s Number One, Hei Yan! That’s right!”
“It’s not just that. Look at the people from the Crimson Devil Domain. It’s rumored that the Crimson Devil Domain seemed to have angered some hidden expert, causing the annihilation of Devil Oblivion Palace. The experts have almost all been slaughtered. Now that one looks at it, the people who came here are no longer as arrogant as they used to be!”
“As it should be!”
In Black Water City, countless pairs of eyes stared at the Chosen of the various regions. Once a Chosen appeared, they would be greeted with cheers.
Among the most praised was the Chosen from the Crimson Devil Domain and the Black Wind Domain.
One reason was that the native cultivators were more familiar with and confident in the Chosen, while the other was because the Crimson Devil Region was notorious. Every Chosen’s Assembly would be filled with incredible weapons. It would make people gnash their teeth.
This time, even though the people from the other regions were not aware of the details, when they saw that the people from the other regions had become obedient, some people from the other regions clapped their hands and cheered!
“The people from the Azure Region are here as well.”
“It’s almost here. The Chosen Gathering is about to begin!”
The City Lord of Black Water City, an Eighth-Level Nascent Soul Cultivator, was extremely nervous. He was paying close attention to the wind and grass in the city if something was wrong. He wanted to send the news out immediately!
Every Chosen Assembly was a glorious era for all regions!
As for the places that they had been chosen to host, it was a complete challenge for them.
With so many geniuses in one go, if anything went wrong, it would undoubtedly cause a storm in the surrounding region and cause a shock!
In order to show importance, even an Eighth Level of Nascent Soul expert wasn’t safe. A few days ago, the Black Wind King had sent half-step King Realm experts to guard Black Water City. In fact, there might even be King Realm experts who would cast their gazes on this place.
The city lord of Black Water City wiped his sweat. The pressure was great!
At this moment, the Chosen Assembly was officially held.
They were all a feast held by a group of young people. Some of the nearby Chosen from the great regions even knew each other. After greeting each other for a few moments, they quickly entered Zhengfu.
“……Since that’s the case, I’ll throw a brick at you. Which Dao brother will come up to fight me?”
The Number One of Hong Rankings from the Hong Region took the first step forward, and his eyes flickered.
The Hong Region was the most remote region among the Great Regions. There were less than ten Kings amongst them, and only a few of them could survive. However, due to the problems of resources and knowledge, it was difficult for them to come out and crush a Chosen.
“It’s the Number One on the Hong Ranking!”
The Hong Region was a small, remote region. It was difficult for all the Grand Chosen to shine. This time, he chose to be the first to appear. Was he trying to endure for a bit longer and leave some impression?
“Dao brother is offended!”
Swish!
On the stage, everyone was extremely proud, so they naturally wouldn’t be polite. Immediately, a person jumped onto the stage – the Tenth on the Black Wind Rankings, Hei Lin!
Hong Mu’s expression changed slightly as he sensed the pressure. He clasped his fist and charged forward.
“Wan Shui Liu!”
Boom!
The pressure of the Third Level of Nascent Soul expert had all exploded out. With the addition of the famous Battle Skill Wan Shui of the Hong Domain, this was the basis on which Hong Mu was proud. Even the cultivators of the Fourth Level of Nascent Soul Realm couldn’t take this move!
Swish!
Hei Lin’s body moved slightly. After forcefully resisting this attack, he took a few steps back. His tiger eyes widened slightly before a shocking aura shot into the sky.
“Black Qilin Fist!”
A few rounds later.
Dong!
Hong Mu flew backward.
“Who will come?”
Everyone was surprised. Before they could react, another figure charged forward. The two of them fought for several dozen rounds before the Black Qilin’s Fist appeared again. The figure flew backward. Hei Lin’s body swayed and took several tens of steps back. A trace of blood also flowed out from the corner of its mouth.
“He can’t hold on anymore.”
“They’re both Chosen winning twice in a row is enough!”
Everyone muttered a few words, but they saw the Tenth Ranked Hei Lin of the Black Wind Rankings take the initiative to leave. In the next instant, a figure charged onto the stage – the Ninth ranker on the Black Wind Ranking.
“Are they planning to take the top?”
On the Azure Domain’s side, Mingyue Shu frowned slightly. Over the years, the Black Wind Domain had been suppressed by the Crimson Devil Domain. Now that the Chosen of the Crimson Devil Domain had completely collapsed, wasn’t it the time for them to raise their heads?
The Chosen of the other major regions also frowned slightly. They could vaguely understand the Black Wind Region’s intentions, but the Chosen who came here were all Chosen. They were all arrogant. The more the Black Wind Region did, the more excited they became.
As a result, one by one, they stepped forward. One by one, they ended up fighting to their heart’s content. Seeing that the Black Wind Ranking had already lost five people, the fifth-ranked person was like a mountain, tightly guarding the stage, unable to fight at all.
“My Azure Domain hasn’t even appeared yet, yet the Chosen Gathering has turned into this? How are we going to fight?”
Qing Yuan was dumbfounded. Just the presence of the people in the stands alone made it clear that more than half of the people on the Azure Ranking were far above him. The person on the stage was almost at the same level as the Tenth Place Mo Chen of the Devil Ranking!
“Let me do it!”
Jian Chen’s eyes were calm as a powerful ripple of energy appeared around him. Xuan Yi’s sword stance flashed through his mind, and his eyes became even sharper!
After losing, he felt a deep sense of shame. After this battle, his current strength had far surpassed his previous strength. It was just a pity that all the prodigies on the Devil Ranking had been slaughtered by Xuan Yi, so he had no target to attack.
At this moment, this person, who was comparable to the Tenth Ranker on the Devil Rankings, Mo Chen, was just in time for him to test himself against!
“Who is this person? He’s from the Azure Region.”
“The Azure Region? This late? We don’t know how many rounds he can last.”
The weaker Chosen in the surrounding region had long since been defeated. Otherwise, the more they dragged it out, the more embarrassing they would be.
This was because some true experts, Chosen, were able to defeat those with weaker cultivation bases and physique in just a few moves.
His strength was already weaker than those of the other regions. If he were to be destroyed by someone, his impression would immediately decline. Wouldn’t he be looking for trouble?
In the previous Chosen’s Assembly, the Azure Domain had performed mediocrely. Most of the time, they were wandering in the middle. Logically speaking, they should’ve been on the stage long ago. How could they delay until now?
The fifth person on the Black Wind Rankings was a short, skinny man. He wore black armor and wielded a sledgehammer. His appearance was not shocking. However, his aura was as if it was heaven-defying. No one dared to look down on him. Right now, he had already defeated five Chosen in a row, and his aura was just dominating!
“Fight!”
When Hei Chui saw Jian Chen come onto the stage, his eyes lit up. He couldn’t be bothered to know Jian Chen’s name at all. He probably knew where Jian Chen was coming from. He should be from the Azure Region.
The Azure Region had never been outstanding, and it wasn’t worth paying attention to.
“Take this!”
Boom!
As soon as Hei Chui finished speaking, he appeared as if he was a ghost. He dragged out his afterimage and quickly appeared in front of Jian Chen.
Attack!
“Break!”
Jian Chen’s eyes weren’t filled with grief or joy. With a wave of his hand, a sword struck out from between his brows!
Swish!
Sword glows crisscrossed, and a cold light shot up into the sky. A vast amount of spiritual power transformed into a condensed sword glow, which sent the sledgehammer flying and directly struck the Fifth Ranker on the Black Wind Rankings.
Hei Yan was stunned for a moment before turning his head to look deeply at Jian Chen.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and then they erupted.
“I had thought this person would have achieved a draw at most? Who would have thought that he would actually beat Hei Chui?”
They were surprised! This did not fit their previous impressions of the Azure Region!
“You’re not bad.”
After a moment of silence, the Fourth-ranked on the Black Wind Ranking was about to go up but was stopped by Hei Yan. “Xun Feng, go and try!”
Second place on the Black Wind Ranking, Xun Feng!
Second, only to Hei Yan, few were deemed as capable opponents for him in the entire Chosen Assembly.
Xun Feng had a relaxed smile on his face. He patted Hei Yan’s shoulder and waved his index finger.
“He actually lost to the people of the Azure Domain. Tsk, tsk.”
Hei Chui’s face turned red. He coldly glanced at Xun Feng, not saying anything.
On the stage, a gust of wind swept through the surroundings.
After a few breaths of time, Sword Intent crisscrossed, Xun Feng was defeated!
Xun Feng looked at Jian Chen in shock. He turned to stare at Hei Chui and saw that he was provoking him. He even raised his index finger and shook it.
“You’re very strong!”
Hei Yan stared deeply at Jian Chen. Xun Feng was definitely not an ordinary prodigy. Under normal circumstances, he would not even injure his body. Yet he had actually lost so quickly. This sword cultivator from the Azure Region had some skill!
Hei Yan stood up and decided to personally meet Jian Chen when a graceful figure took the lead.
“Let me do it. Apart from you and me, it’s rare to meet such a powerful opponent……”
Hei Yan stopped and glanced deeply at the icy woman on the stage.
“It’s Fairy Ning Shuang!”
“It is Fairy Ning Shuang, who has traveled through various regions! Rumor has it that she’s been roaming all over the world, constantly challenging others and becoming stronger. She’s already won first place in several major regions!”
On the stage, Ning Shuang’s appearance was peerlessly beautiful, as if a Celestial Fairy had descended to the mortal world. There were few existences on the stage that could surpass her in appearance. Even if they did, their strength would still be inferior to her!
Ning Shuang had long since arrived in the Black Wind Region. She had challenged the number one Hei Yan on the Black Wind Ranking several times, and they were tied. Their reputation was far greater!
“With Fairy Ning Shuang attacking, there shouldn’t be any suspense.”
“Sorry for Offending!”
Jian Chen didn’t care about this. He clasped his fist and in the next moment, a sword wave blasted out.
Boom!
Ning Shuang’s expression was calm. She waved her hand and scattered him. Before she could even speak, Jian Chen’s sword spirit exploded out with powerful sword light, and a shocking Sword Intent slashed down!
“Sword Intent! You have actually comprehended Sword Intent!”
Ning Shuang’s expression changed drastically. She looked at the little sword and sensed a terrifying pressure from it.
She had a feeling that she couldn’t take this sword strike!
BOOM!
She flew backward, her expression filled with shock!
“Who are you? He had comprehended Sword Intent at this age! Is the Azure Domain a dragon?”
She had thought that other than the Hei Yan of the Black Wind Region, there were no experts in the surrounding regions. However, she had never expected that she would underestimate the heroes of the world.
“You’ll be the number one in this Chosen Assembly!”
Ning Shuang’s peerless appearance was filled with deep doubts. She had originally thought that other than the Hei Yan, the surrounding regions were nothing more than this. Who would have thought that there would be such an expert?
“How did you comprehend Sword Intent at such a young age?”
“Is this the strength of the number one person amongst the younger generation of the Azure Region?”
Hei Yan’s expression was also unsightly. He asked himself if his strength was extremely great. Other than Ning Shuang, no one else was in his eyes at all. Right now, the number one person in the Azure Region had actually comprehended Sword Intent.
Hei Yan’s vision was outstanding. Naturally, he could tell that this was not the embryonic form of Sword Intent, but the actual First Level of Sword Intent!
“Sword Intent?”
The number one person in the Chosen Assembly was no longer in suspense. Compared to the battle, everyone was more curious about the existence of Sword Intent. They all surrounded Jian Chen, and Fairy Ning Shuang was the first to bear the brunt.
When Jian Chen heard this, his mind couldn’t help but flash with an unrivaled flash of light. He used his sword to annihilate everyone on the Devil Rankings who he, Jian Chen, was no match for. He even used something like a Sword Domain to kill a King Realm expert.
“Is this Sword Intent worth praising?”
Jian Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head. He even sighed, feeling quite disappointed.
Compared to Xuan Yi, he didn’t even have a tenth of his opponent.
“Is this the heart of the number one person in the Azure Region?”
Ning Shuang’s expression trembled. She didn’t dare imagine how humble Jian Chen was? Hei Yan’s entire body trembled as well. This kid actually… To have such a heart?
“Number one in the Azure Domain?”
Jian Chen shook his head when he heard this. He smiled bitterly, “I’ m not Number One.”
Everyone was in an uproar.
“Don’t be humble!”
“That’s right. We all know your strength. You’re definitely a Chosen. So who is it?”
Jian Chen smiled bitterly as he waved his hand. What prodigy, what number one person? With that person in front of him, who would dare to be known as this?
Perhaps he was number one in this Chosen Gathering, but he wasn’t number one in the Azure Region.
“You don’t know.”
Jian Chen held his hands behind his back. His eyes were clear, and his temperament had suddenly become a bit ancient. His sword-like eyes seemed to have witnessed the great spectacle.
“You don’t understand. With him here, Sword Intent, Chosen, all titles are meaningless.”
Who? He? Who was he?
Now, everyone was even more puzzled.
Furthermore, the other Chosen of the Azure Region didn’t seem to refute this. Instead, they agreed.
This meant that Jian Chen was not being modest, much less joking.
There were even more powerful people in the younger generation of the Azure Region than Jian Chen?
“He?”
Jian Chen looked into the sky as if he saw something that could not be surpassed.
Then, he spoke slowly.
“He’s called Xuan Yi. I’m not even a tenth of him.”
Jian Chen’s voice didn’t end.
At that moment, everyone began to pant.
Everyone was shocked!
Just what level of existence was Xuan Yi capable of making Jian Chen speak like this?
Ning Shuang’s eyes were confused as she clenched her fists tightly under her sleeves!
