Not long after Jiang Qing came out of the Moon Demon Cave, he had already informed everyone about the return of the Evil Dragon Palace's disciples. When he returned, the Evil Dragon Palace's disciples happened to be at the Ascending Cloud Platform to welcome him. The Ascending Cloud Platform was an important area at the front of the Evil Dragon Palace. Normally, guests would be welcomed here.
Even from far away, Long Chen could already see many people standing on the Ascending Cloud Platform. The Evil Dragon Palace had more than thirty thousand disciples. Most of them were ordinary disciples. Ordinary disciples did not have a high status. It was difficult for them to obtain cultivation resources.
Those who could stand on the Ascending Cloud Platform were at least the personal disciples of the elders. This was a grand event of the Evil Dragon Palace. So basically all the elders and hall masters were here. The remaining nine Vice Palace Masters were also here. They had been waiting here since long ago.
This time, two of the Vice Palace Masters' disciples had died. They had probably been killed while activating the mechanism. Long Chen was not very clear about this.
Apart from the two Vice Palace Masters who were in a bad mood, everyone else was in a good mood. The Moon Demon Cave trial was very difficult, but the Evil Dragon Palace actually completed it. This time, the Evil Dragon Palace's ranking would definitely rise. At the same time, they would obtain more cultivation resources. This was a good opportunity for the Evil Dragon Palace to rise.
It could be said that the strong halls of the three thousand great halls had accumulated their strength through repeated trials. The stronger the cultivation resources, the more powerful they were.
Normally, the elders had the right to teach. As long as they met the requirements of the elders, they could attend the lessons and comprehend the Martial Dao. The stronger the elders and hall masters were, the stronger the disciples would be.
In Jiang Qing's message, he only reported the situation of the battle. He did not mention who had achieved this feat. Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, Long Chen was almost the same as when he left. He was also an unknown person.
The group landed on the Ascending Cloud Platform. Facing the cheers of hundreds of Evil Dragon Palace disciples, those who could come here were basically the upper echelons of the Evil Dragon Palace. Even on the Ascending Cloud Platform, there were over ten thousand disciples surrounding them.
Those who could enter the True Martial Emperor Palace were at least in the God Martial Realm. Even the ordinary disciples were rarely in the first layer of the God Martial Realm.
Just the strength of the Evil Dragon Palace alone was extremely horrifying.
This time, Long Chen and the others had successfully completed the mission, they were all heroes who had returned. Looking at them, the other young disciples' eyes were filled with envy. It should be known that this time, only disciples at the level of deputy palace leaders were qualified to participate in the trial, and disciples at the level of deputy palace leaders were generally at the fifth level of the Divine Martial Arts Realm, which was already the strength of elders and hall leaders.
In the eyes of the thirty thousand Evil Dragon Palace disciples, Long Chen and the other fourteen were the proud sons of heaven.
Even though in Long Chen's eyes, the others were nothing more than defeated opponents.
Even Ye Zheng was not his match.
At this moment, most of the Vice Palace Masters were filled with joy. The death of one or two disciples was a small matter. With so many people working hard, their positions would soon be replaced. However, the Evil Dragon Palace disciples actually completed this difficult mission. This was a joyous matter.
In the face of great joy, a little sorrow was nothing.
"Brother Jiang, you're finally back. This time's trial was very successful. It must be because of brother Jiang's leadership. You've made a lot of contributions."
Immediately, some of the Vice Palace Masters with lower cultivation than Jiang Qing came out to flatter him. Even the Vice Palace Masters had their own ranks. Jiang Qing and the other two Vice Palace Masters at the peak of the sixth level of the Divine Martial Arts Realm naturally had higher positions.
"It's all the work of the younger generation. I only played a role in leading them," said Jiang Qing plainly.
"Vice Palace Master Jiang is too humble. But among the younger generation, Ye Zheng, Wu Yang, and Wu Yue must have performed very well. I heard that the Moon Demon Cave's first master was killed by someone from the Devil World, but the second master, Qin Shi and Xue Yazi, who are in the sixth level of the Divine Martial Arts Realm, were killed by the younger generation of the Evil Dragon Palace. From this, we can see that the geniuses of the Evil Dragon Palace are not any weaker than the Wind Divine Palace, Sky Cloud Palace, Mysterious Underworld Palace, and so on."
"Of course," everyone couldn't help but flatter Ye Zheng and the others.
Ye Zheng was originally not a strong disciple, but he caught up and surpassed Wu Yang and Wu Yue, the two genius siblings. He had been the number one disciple of the Evil Dragon Palace for many years.
There were many geniuses in the Evil Dragon Palace. In terms of cultivation, Du Yishuang, Yao Bitong and the others were also very good. They were just a bit weaker in terms of combat ability. Being able to pass through the Devouring Fire Tribulation at this age was already very good.
After flattering each other for a while, Jiang Qing and the others looked around and asked, "Everyone, why is the Palace Master not here?"
One of the Vice Palace Masters quickly said, "I was also wondering. The Palace Master was still in the Evil Dragon Palace a few days ago and didn't come out. Why is he not here on such a big day? I'm also very curious."
"Yeah, why is the Palace Master not here yet? I'll go and urge him."
Although everyone present was an expert, the size of a mere Evil Dragon Palace was incomparably huge. From the Cloud Ascension Platform to the place where the Evil Dragon Palace Lord lived, it was probably over a hundred miles, or even several hundred miles. The entire True Dragon Mountain range was the territory of the Evil Dragon Palace.
In the Imperial Star, there were experts of the True Martial Emperor Palace everywhere. Basically, no outsider could come to the Emperor Palace. Therefore, it was impolite to use divine sense. Generally speaking, divine sense couldn't be used casually in this place. If one accidentally peeped into someone else's privacy and was discovered by others, it would certainly be a disaster.
One of the Vice Palace Masters ordered someone to summon the Palace Master.
Such a big matter couldn't be done without the Palace Master.
Among the crowd, Long Chen suddenly felt bored. He was thinking about going to the Supreme Yin Devil World. Li Tianji's last words made him a little worried.
Yang Lingqing was the person he doted on the most in the Yang Family. He couldn't let anything happen to her.
Long Chen had protected her so many times, it wouldn't matter if he did it again.
Originally, he didn't have the confidence to go to the Supreme Yin Devil World alone. However, with Han Yunxing and Nangong Lie, he had nothing to worry about.
Someone went to summon the Palace Lord, and the others were chatting while waiting. Long Chen, on the other hand, felt bored. Not far from him, Ye Zheng, who had been defeated by him, had already woken up. He would rather die than face the world if he lost to Long Chen like this. But now, he had thought it through. Long Chen was strong, but it didn't mean that he couldn't surpass him. This time, Ye Zheng had decided to enter the deepest and most arduous training. He wouldn't come out until his cultivation reached the sixth level of the Divine Martial Realm.
At that time, he would like to see if Long Chen, who had humiliated him so much, could still defeat him.
There were countless young experts in the three thousand palaces.
Ye Zheng could only be considered the most ordinary. For example, the strong palaces were comparable to Emperor Dong's Palace. Among the young disciples, there were even super experts who had comprehended the Will of Heaven and Earth and formed the Dharma of Heaven and Earth. The cultivators in the true Lv 7 of the Divine Martial Realm were undoubtedly very terrifying.
Starting from the Lv 6 of the Divine Martial Realm, every little bit of improvement would be very terrifying.
At the Perfect Lv 6 of the Divine Martial Realm and the Great Perfection of the Supreme Golden Body, it would be very difficult to kill them.
What was even more shocking was that the Martial God Palace had bestowed the disciples of the strong palaces with the resources of the Martial God Palace. They had all sorts of Combat Techniques, Divine Weapons, Medicinal Pills, and the like. They were all top-notch, and they even had many Magic Treasures. It would be a fool's dream to compete with them.
In the last competition of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, Ye Zheng was ranked close to one thousand among the three thousand palaces. It could be seen that among the one hundred million disciples in the Imperial Star, there were still many who surpassed him.
Among the one hundred million disciples, more than forty million were in the Lv 1 of the Divine Martial Realm.
Compared to these, both Long Chen and Ye Zheng were geniuses. However, they were not qualified to be called true geniuses.
The three thousand palaces had a strict hierarchy. The disciples fought each other constantly. There were many strong clashes between the palaces. Palaces like the Evil Dragon Palace were not as strong as the top palaces, but they were better than the bottom palaces. When they met the weaker palaces, they could flaunt their prowess. However, when they met the super palaces, existences comparable to the Eastern Royal Palace, they would still be defeated.
The Martial God Palace gave the three thousand palaces an intense competition rule. Hence, even if both palaces belonged to the True Martial Emperor Palace, a true massacre could erupt between two palaces. At that time, who could survive would depend on strength.
In the past one thousand years, many palaces had been destroyed, and many more had been rebuilt.
The Trial Battles could be said to be the smallest of the conflicts between the three thousand palaces.
Long Chen did not dislike any disciples of the Evil Dragon Palace. Jiang Qing's disciples were very good friends with him. Unfortunately, Jiang Qing was not a good master. Long Chen also had conflicts with Ye Zheng, but he did not have any conflicts with the seemingly kind Evil Dragon Palace Master.
At the same time, because Wu Yang admired Long Chen's strength, he had been chatting with Long Chen recently.
At this moment, everyone was waiting for the arrival of the Palace Master. The Evil Dragon Palace Master had the qualifications to make people wait. After all, he was the only cultivator in the seventh layer of the Divine Martial Realm in the Evil Dragon Palace.
In terms of combat strength, all the Vice Palace Masters combined would not be a match for him.
Just at this moment, there was a loud explosion. The location was in the direction of the Evil Dragon Palace Master. A golden light soared into the sky, and at the same time, a strong wind surged. The people around Long Chen were blown away. Long Chen could only stand firmly because of his strong physical body. Seeing the surrounding trees uprooted by the sudden strong wind and sand and stones flying into the sky, Long Chen's heart was filled with shock.
"What's going on? Why is there suddenly such a terrifying wind? And it's in the Evil Dragon Palace." Long Chen looked up. After the others stabilized themselves, they did the same.
