This unforeseen event had occurred without any warning.
At first, everyone was silent, but when the news of that person's death spread, the Spirit Pagoda's warriors were enraged. This was their territory. Although the Goddess' Heart was famous, this was not just a matter of killing one person, but a public challenge to the dignity of the Spirit Thunder Pagoda's warriors.
They were all geniuses chosen by the heavens, and that was why they were chosen from the countless Thunder Spirit Clan. They stood out from the rest and joined the Thunder Spirit Pagoda to become warriors of the Spirit Pagoda. They were glorious and loyal to the Spirit Emperor, so they were extremely prideful. The Sacred Spirit's ruthless and decisive slaughter had touched their bottom line.
In an instant, ninety thousand warriors began to shout.
"How dare you kill our warriors for no reason. Even if you're the Lord's guest, you can't do this. Elders, please give us an explanation."
"That's right. A life for a life. So what if it's the Goddess' Heart? They're wanted by Ling Huang. Do you think they can do whatever they want just because they're famous?"
In an instant, thunder rumbled and lightning crisscrossed. The 90,000 Spirit Pagoda warriors formed a terrifying might, bringing with them an even greater pressure from the goddess' heart. Long Chen felt as if the entire world had been drowned in lightning, and the berserk power swept out recklessly.
"Enough."
The Spirit Thunder Pagoda's Lord roared.
That voice was like a sudden clap of thunder, instantly suppressing everyone's voices. The warriors of the Spirit Thunder Tower all shut their mouths. The Spirit Thunder Tower's hierarchy was incomparably strict, and the Tower Master had the highest authority, killing anyone he wanted was not a problem. The Spirit Race's hierarchy was stricter than all the other powers.
"Beauties, it was I, Zi Jing Lei, who failed to discipline him. Even if you didn't do anything, I, Zi Jing Lei, would have taken his little life."
Zi Jing Lei first sincerely apologized to the Holy Spirit, then his cold gaze swept across the crowd, "Everyone knows what happened just now. If I hear any more ugly words, I will do it myself. If anyone dares to say anything else, they will be executed immediately."
When he said that, ninety thousand warriors lowered their heads, expressing their submission. Before, there were many who didn't know what was going on, but now they understood. It was just that they weren't convinced, so they just lowered their heads temporarily.
The Holy Spirits were just that unyielding. The entire Spirit Race was well aware of her reputation.
Zi Jing Lei seemed to have forgotten about this matter as he led the group through the encirclement of ninety thousand Spirit Pagoda warriors, heading towards a palace below the Spirit Thunder Pagoda, called the 'Heaven and Earth Thunder Hall'.
"Everyone, I have already set up a great banquet in the Heaven and Earth Thunder Hall. I welcome everyone to take a seat."
Zi Jing Lei was all smiles.
Beside him, there were many powerful elders who were the higher-ups of the Lightning Spirit Tower. The overall strength of this group of elders was almost three times that of the Heart of the Goddess. Among them, there were many super strong Six Path Reincarnation Realm martial artists. These people were all people of the same generation as Long Qinglan, equivalent to the various city lords of the Ancient City of Divine Descendants. In front of them, Long Chen was just a junior.
Under Zi Jing Lei's lead, everyone walked into the majestic Heaven and Earth Thunder Hall.
After taking a seat, Zi Jing Lei laughed loudly, his words full of praise for Long Chen. At this time, the people of the Lightning Spirit Tower began to prepare the banquet, and the scene was huge.
Zi Jing Lei began to introduce, "This is the dragon liver of a Four Images Reincarnation Realm wild beast, the 'Sky Flame Dragon'. The Sky Flower Dragon is not a real dragon, but it has a large amount of mystical dragon blood in it. Its liver is very nutritious, and has the effect of beautifying the skin.
"This is an immortal essence with ninety immortal marks, the 'Nine Mystic Holy Fruit'. The increase in reincarnation power is secondary, but the most important thing is that the Nine Mystic Holy Fruit is sweet and melts in the mouth. It is a rare delicacy, and its value surpasses even some primordial immortal essences. This was personally bestowed by Ling Huang, and we are only qualified to enjoy such delicacies because of you."
A total of more than ten delicacies were served, and each one was priceless. Ordinary people would never be able to enjoy them in their entire lives.
But no matter how one looked at it, these people were like weasels paying respects to chickens. They had bad intentions.
The people of the Heart of Goddess did not have stage fright. They were used to this kind of scene, and they would not hold back when it was time to enjoy. After three rounds of wine, almost two hours had passed. During this time, Zi Jing Lei had been testing Long Chen, trying to get news of Long Qinglan from him. But how could Long Chen be tricked by him? When it came to secrets, Long Chen brushed it off vaguely.
After the banquet ended, the Holy Spirit stood up and said, "Thank you Spirit Thunder Tower for your invitation. We will take our leave."
Zi Jing Lei smiled. "Miss Holy Spirit, it's rare for you to come here. How can you leave just like that? It just so happens that our Spirit Thunder Tower is holding a martial competition for those below the sixty thousandth level. The participants are all martial artists below the First Reincarnation Realm. Today is the final stage of the competition, and the winner will be decided soon. Why don't all of you come and watch with me? It'll be good to cheer for the young men of the Spirit Thunder Tower. Heroes have a weakness for the charms of beauties.
Now that all of you are here, those kids will do their best to show off. "Clearly, the other party would not let them leave so easily. The banquet was just a taste of sweetness. The best part was yet to come.
Long Chen had refined the Nine Mystic Holy Fruit, and his nirvanic power had skyrocketed again. He estimated that within ten days, he would be able to break through to the next realm. At this moment, his body was accumulating a large amount of power.
The Holy Spirit knew that Zi Jing Lei would use all means possible to get her to watch the martial competition. She was too lazy to argue with him. "If that's the case, then I'll do as you say."
Under Zi Jing Lei's lead, the group arrived at the martial arena.
At this moment, the martial arena was filled with people. It was a circular arena, and the spectators were seated around it. In the center, there was a network of lightning, and many arenas were built. These thunderbolts were all formed from lightning, and they were full of destructive power. Without a certain level of strength, standing on the arenas was equivalent to seeking death.
At this moment, the martial competition had progressed to a critical moment. Hundreds of young elites were fighting, and the scene was huge. The sounds of explosions were shocking, and as far as the eye could see, there were thunderbolts and spiritual techniques everywhere, and their destructive power far exceeded that of connate daoist techniques.
Boom, boom, boom.
The entire martial arena was in the midst of explosions.
"Everyone, please take your seats."
Zi Jing Lei and a group of elites led Long Chen and the rest to the most distinguished seats. From here, they could see the entire battlefield.
"Pay attention, boys. The beauties of the Goddess' Heart have arrived. You must perform well, and don't let the famed beauties of the Spirit Clan laugh at you."
Among the warriors of the Spirit Spirit Tower, there were still many who regarded the Goddess' Heart as their goddess. Hearing this, in order to perform well in front of the goddess, the youths became even more excited, and the battle became even more intense.
"The Thunder Spirit Tower has a total of 90,000 floors, and everyone occupies one floor. In other words, there are a total of 60,000 people in the Ninth Nirvana Realm and First Origin Reincarnation Realm, and 30,000 people above the Yin Yang Reincarnation Realm."
The power of the Thunder Spirit Tower was truly terrifying.
In this world, Long Chen found that he was still too small.
Of course, the people fighting below were basically older than him.
Di Yu was peerless and peerless, and he only reached the Ninth Nirvana Realm at the age of 20. Long Chen was only a few years older than him.
This battle lasted for two hours. The battles of the Thunder Spirit Clan were very beautiful, and their attacks were terrifying. After a fierce battle, the top ten, top three, and the champion would be decided.
According to the results, the Thunder Spirit Tower would give corresponding rewards.
There were also tens of thousands of warriors of the Thunder Spirit Tower, and they were all shouting crazily, cheering for some of the seeded contestants. Long Chen noticed that there were a few martial artists who were very popular, and their battle strength was obviously the strongest.
These young martial artists were all like the incarnations of the Thunder God.
They could control a large amount of lightning with just a wave of their hands. Long Chen had even seen someone condense a lightning ball with a diameter of over a hundred meters, and explode his opponent into powder.
Boom, boom.
The sound of explosions rang out incessantly.
Amidst the cheers of countless people, the top ten were decided.
After a few more battles, the top three were decided.
Among the 60,000 geniuses, those who could obtain the top three results were all heaven-defying geniuses.
"Zi Qingtian has great strength, and his Vast Sun Thunder Art is invincible. I bet that he is the champion of this martial competition, and that mysterious treasure should be his."
"That's not right, I feel that the Purple Firmament Bear is also very terrifying, and his' Thunder Bear Transformation 'is also unparalleled."
"I feel that Zi Song is the strongest. Among the three of them, he is the only one who is proficient in the Sword Dao. I heard that he once killed a Yin-Yang Samsara Realm martial artist."
"Go, Zi Qingtian and the Purple Firmament Bear also killed a Yin-Yang Samsara Realm martial artist before, okay?"
Long Chen had been looking at the most popular people, and indeed, they were the strongest. Although they were only at the One Origin Samsara Realm, Long Chen reckoned that they were able to defeat the Yin-Yang Samsara Realm Night Owl in the Dark Divine City. Those who could fight across levels were actually very impressive figures.
At the side, Hua Ling explained to Long Chen, "Our Spirit Race doesn't have a God Spirit Bloodline, nor do we have a Divine Beast Bloodline, but our Spirit Race martial artists are born with Spirit Meridians. The innate Spirit Meridians in our bodies basically determine our future cultivation prospects. The various major forces also select martial artists based on the level of Spirit Meridians."
"How are Spirit Meridians divided?" Long Chen asked.
