King of Creation-Chapter 636 - 628 Bounty

"This time, when White Bone Young Master Lio Kechu emerged from closed-door Cultivation, not only had his Cultivation advanced from the early stage to the late stage of the Fourth Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, but he also mastered an extremely formidable Divine Power Martial Skill," said Zhu Ling, the Head of the Inner Affairs Hall, a hint of regret visible on his face. "Unfortunately, White Bone Young Master Lio Kechu’s time out of seclusion was too short. Our scouts from the Divine Sect couldn’t even determine the specific nature or type of the Divine Power Martial Skill before he reappeared. You must be extremely cautious when facing White Bone Young Master!"

Following Zhu Ling’s reminder, Ye Zhen, Nian Xinghe, Zuo Xiong, Yub Hea, and Zhuang Ling all focused their eyes intensely on White Bone Young Master Lio Kechu, who had just landed.

Feeling their gaze, White Bone Young Master Lio Kechu instantly turned his direction toward Ye Zhen and Nian Xinghe.

From afar, White Bone Young Master Lio Kechu smiled slightly at Ye Zhen and the others who were staring at him, revealing his ghostly white teeth. Then he made a throat-slitting gesture with a single palm, his skull-like face turning immensely sinister with that smile.

"Brother Jian, it seems like your Sun and Moon Divine Sect is going downhill with each generation. Five years ago, at the Spirit Returning Assembly, your sect still had a Martial Artist at the Fourth Stage of the Vein Forging Realm. But this time, the highest Cultivation is just at the Third Stage.

Not only that, but you even sent out a Martial Artist from the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm. Has your sect really run out of people, or are you just sending this little guy to his death?" Longevity Sect Master Yin Changsheng’s mocking voice could be heard from a distance, and he wasn’t done yet.

"If the young talents of your Sun and Moon Divine Sect are really all gone, Brother Jian, just say the word, and I could lend you a few. We at Longevity Sect are never short of young talents!" Having said this, Yin Changsheng, in his feathered crown and Taoist robe, burst out laughing.

The Longevity Sect and Sun and Moon Divine Sect were always arch-rivals, and this was no exception anywhere. As Longevity Sect Master Yin Changsheng’s voice rang out, leaders of the other three major powers who had just arrived shifted their focus to enjoy the spectacle.

"To deal with certain jesters, the Martial Artists from the Soul Sea Realm of our Sun and Moon Divine Sect are more than enough! Oh right, Brother Yin, I believe it was this little guy from the Soul Sea Realm who forced you to open up the Main Temple of Longevity Sect six months ago—don’t tell me you’ve forgotten already?" Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong of Sun and Moon Divine Sect reminded him somewhat innocently.

Not only that, but Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong even started counting deliberately on his fingers, "Hmm, one...eight.....fifteen....Oh, right, this little guy directly killed more than eighteen of Longevity Sect’s experts and indirectly caused the deaths of nearly sixty people, including more than five Guardian Venerables! The losses he caused to your Longevity Sect were calculated in millions of Mid-grade Spirit Crystals!

"Brother Yin, you haven’t forgotten so soon, have you?"

Behind Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong, Ye Zhen rolled his eyes dramatically. Isn’t he pulling way too much hatred?

However, it did sound quite proud!

No matter how composed the Longevity Sect Master Yin Changsheng was, at this moment, he could no longer feign indifference. His face turned extremely ugly. Even if he wanted to retaliate, there was no warrior in Longevity Sect who could match Ye Zhen’s achievements, not even White Bone Young Master.

"Kechu, in this Spirit Returning Assembly, if any one of you five can bring me Ye Zhen’s head as a gift, I will take him as my closed-door Disciple!" In an instant, Longevity Sect Master Yin Changsheng’s face changed to a smile, a sinister aura hidden within.

"Rest assured, Master, we will definitely bring Ye Zhen’s head as a congratulatory gift!" the other four combatants from Longevity Sect shouted in unison. White Bone Young Master Lio Kechu nodded slightly and stared intently at Ye Zhen, his gaze sharp as a knife.

"Hahaha, Brother Yin, since you’re in such high spirits, my Sun and Moon Divine Sect can’t be left behind. Listen up, whoever can bring me the heads of those little thieves from Longevity Sect to use as a night pot, I will generously reward him with a High Grade Spirit Crystal....one piece!" said Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong.

"One piece?" Yin Changsheng suddenly burst into laughter. "Brother Jian, if you’re broke, just let me know. I spend hundreds of Spirit Crystals each time I feed my dogs. Giving you a few hundred wouldn’t be a problem!"

Ye Zhen, Nian Xinghe, and the others were also stunned. That reward was really...

"What, do you think it’s too little? The heads of those little brats from Longevity Sect, even using them as a night pot might be too generous; rewarding one High Grade Spirit Crystal for it is already overestimating them. In fact, I might have to embed a diamond in it to make it usable!"

Ye Zhen blinked, then couldn’t help but burst into laughter; not just Ye Zhen, but also the Martial Artists of Stars Tower, Heavenly Net Sect, and Qingyun Castle nearby began to laugh. Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong of Sun and Moon Divine Sect really had a way with words when it came to making fun of others.

The expression of Longevity Sect Master Yin Changsheng grew even more sullen, while White Bone Young Master and the rest, who had been ridiculed to such a degree, looked no better.

"Hahahahaha, Brother Jian’s flair in taunting remains unmatched as always! I only hope that when the time comes, the neck of that little shrimp under Brother Jian’s command is as tough as your mouth!

My boys, keep a close eye, we need a few more heads for the ritual sacrifice at the grand ceremony of Longevity Sect!"

"We will heed the Master’s decree!"

"Let’s go!"

With a wave of his hand, Longevity Sect Master Yin Changsheng led his Martial Artists down a narrow sheep trail in the mountains, no longer entangling with the Sun and Moon Divine Sect.

"Did you see the warrior of the Heavenly Net Sect carrying a nine-ringed great saber on his back? That’s Young Master Demon Sound Shang Lingqi from the Qinglan Three Young Masters. Despite his rough appearance, he is incredibly meticulous in his Cultivation Technique, and he is especially skilled at launching attacks that target the Divine Soul through Demon Sound. He’s quite formidable!

Since the closure of White Bone Young Master Lio Kechu three years ago, Young Master Demon Sound Shang Lingqi has been the leading figure among the younger generation, rarely making a move since his rise to fame.

Moreover, Young Master Demon Sound Shang Lingqi is the second warrior at the Fourth Stage of the Vein Forging Realm participating in this Spirit Returning Assembly, and his Cultivation even reaches the Peak of Fourth Stage of the Vein Forging Realm. Be extremely careful when you face him!" Zhu Ling said.

"Peak of the Fourth Stage of the Vein Forging Realm? Why is his Cultivation so high?" Ye Zhen was somewhat surprised.

"Spending nearly a fifth of the year in secluded Cultivation within a Supreme Spirit Vein, how can his Cultivation not be high? I estimate that it is only because Young Master Demon Sound, Shang Lingqi, has not yet succeeded in Vein Forging his fifth Divine Power Martial Skill; otherwise, his current Cultivation could very likely be at the Peak of the Fifth Stage of the Vein Forging Realm!" said Zhu Ling, the Head of the Inner Affairs Hall.

"Moreover, among the five Martial Artists participating in the battle for Heavenly Net Sect this time, aside from one who is only at the Second Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, the other three are all at the Third Stage of the Vein Forging Realm!" At this, Zhu Ling’s mouth also turned somewhat bitter.

There was no helping it, after all, Heavenly Net Sect was the beneficiary of the last session of the Supreme Spirit Vein, a fact which alone could demonstrate its enormous value.

It could allow the talents within a power to grow rapidly!

Immediately, a sound of sharp intakes of breath arose among the crowd.

Compared to Heavenly Net Sect’s lineup of Martial Artists, the lineup of Sun and Moon Divine Sect was vastly inferior. In the Sun and Moon Divine Sect’s lineup, the highest Cultivation was only at the Third Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, Nian Xinghe; among the other four, two were at the Second Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, one was at the First Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, and one was merely at the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm.

Just in terms of lineup, it was not slightly inferior!

Seeing the crowd’s expressions waver, Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong’s eyebrows suddenly shot up.

"What, scared?"

"If battles were all about comparing Cultivation, then what’s the point of Martial Artists fighting at all? Just reveal your Cultivation, compare, and be done with it—what’s the need for any trials or ranking competitions?"

"In battles between Martial Artists, Cultivation is only secondary; mindset, courage, will, Martial Technique Secret Techniques, environment, timing, equipment, and even luck can all influence the outcome of a fight!

If everything were judged by Cultivation, then Ye Zhen wouldn’t be standing here today! Ye Zhen, a Martial Artist at the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm, could defeat Martial Artists at the Second and Third Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, let alone one at the Fourth Stage of the Vein Forging Realm!"

"Remember, when braves meet on a narrow road, the courageous wins!"

Boom!

The last saying of Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong, "when braves meet on a narrow road, the courageous wins," rang in the minds of the crowd like a bell toll, instantly dispelling the prior shock and unease, and filled them with boundless confidence!

The moment Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong’s voice sounded, a golden and a black Tianzhu in Ye Zhen’s Soul Sea suddenly burst forth with brilliance, settling down only after a long while, which somewhat startled Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen guessed that the shout of Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong might have carried some Divine Soul Secret Technique, likely one that could influence emotions or confidence, which is why the two Tianzhus in his Soul Sea had reacted.

At the same time, Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong’s gaze towards Ye Zhen suddenly turned a bit strange.

He could clearly sense that the Secret Technique he had just used had no effect on Ye Zhen.

"This youngster, is really somewhat... peculiar!"

"The final one to pay attention to, is Qingyun Castle!" Zhu Ling, the Head of the Inner Affairs Hall, said. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

"Qingyun Castle is a thousand-year-old clan force located near Qinglan Mountain, and the entire clan, top to bottom, bears the surname Yun, owning over a quarter of the land properties in Qinglan Martial are under Qingyun Castle, their resources extremely substantial, and they have several Grandmaster Artifact Refiners.

However, constrained by their clan’s bloodline, compared to the other four major forces, Qingyun Castle does not have as many talented Martial Artists, but their combat power is extremely strong!

The leading figure of the young generation of the Yun Family in Qingyun Castle is named Yun Ce, with the Cultivation at the Third Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, not many battles on record, but it is noted that he once fought a draw against a Martial Artist at the Fourth Stage of the Vein Forging Realm.

However, the strength of Qingyun Castle’s Martial Artists lies in their resources. At the Spirit Returning Assembly five years ago, among the five Martial Artists from Qingyun Castle, three were equipped with Low Grade Spirit Artifacts!

I believe this year will be no exception. When you encounter Martial Artists from Qingyun Castle, you must be careful of their Spirit Artifact attacks!" Zhu Ling, the Head of the Inner Affairs Hall, said.

Hum!

Suddenly, the colorful fairy lights that permeated all around Immortal Light Mountain receded like flowing water towards the mountain’s interior.

In the blink of an eye, Immortal Light Mountain, which looked like a fairyland, became utterly ordinary, leaving only the plants full of Spiritual Energy due to the retreat of the fairy light. The Heavenly Level Demon Beasts that inhabited the entire Immortal Light Mountain also emitted cries of panic, but Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong’s expression changed.

"The five-year agreement has arrived, and within half an hour, we must open the Trial Secret Realm Gate to start the trial, hurry and follow me to the Secret Realm Gate!" (To be continued.
