After saying that, Xiao Lang gently spat out a flame from his mouth. Of course, it wasn't the Nine Serenities Demon Ancestral Fire, it was just an ordinary flame. However, this flame was changing its shape rapidly in front of Xiao Lang. It was even flying around in the cave. Its position and direction of movement were very precise.
"This is your newly awakened talent, the Art of Controlling Fire." Long Chen said with some admiration.
"Big brother, you have misunderstood. The Fire Controlling Technique is only a technique that came with the appearance of my talent." The wolf cub hurriedly explained.
"What do you mean?" Long Chen still didn't understand.
"After reaching the Heaven Stage, my awakened talent is that I can devour the Monster Cores of Fire Attribute Demonic Beasts. Not only can I increase my strength, but I can also copy their talent to myself. It's just like how I devoured the Monster Cores of Fiery Lions. So, I naturally learned the Art of Controlling Fire. Of course, this talent has a certain probability. According to my estimation, the probability of success should be about one-third." Xiao Lang said with some excitement.
"This talent is indeed nature-defying. For now, the Demonic Beasts you devour are too weak and don't have any ability. When you are lucky enough to reach the peak, those Demonic Beasts will all be existences that can destroy the world. All of them have nature-defying magical powers. If you can devour their talent, then you will really be nature-defying."
Kitten interrupted at this time. To be honest, even he seemed to be very impressed with Xiao Lang's talent.
It seemed that Xiao Lang's talent was indeed much more important than him reaching the Heaven Stage Demonic Beast.
"Congratulations, Xiao Lang." Long Chen said with a smile.
"Haven't you also reached the Reaching Heaven State? You were able to kill a Level 3 Reaching Heaven State martial artist before you reached the Reaching Heaven State. Now that you've reached the Reaching Heaven State, you'll be even more powerful. My current strength is still too weak for Big Brother. Thinking back to the time when we were in Baiyang Town, I was stronger than you. Only a year has passed. At that time, we definitely wouldn't have imagined that we would be standing here one year later," Wolf Cub sighed emotionally.
"Don't sigh. Who knows where we will be in one year? Now that everything has come to an end, let's hurry to the Ancient Demons Area. This time, we have to go there no matter what. I came here to find the way to enter the Ancient Cemetery. I think the people in the Ancient Demons Area will know."
Just like that, Long Chen took Xiao Lang back to the previous road and headed in the direction of the Ancient Demons Area. Now, Xiao Lang's speed had increased a lot. He carried Long Chen and ran wildly in this direction. At first, they didn't meet anyone, but later, it seemed that there were more and more people.
"The sky in front of us is even darker. Under the sky, there is a group of gray mountains. Among the mountains, there are dozens of yellow Spiritual Qi of the Earth Veins. Each Spiritual Qi of the Earth Veins seems to be much bigger than the Yellow Martial City. I guess that is the Ancient Demons Area. The Spiritual Qi of the Heaven and Earth in the Ancient Demons Area is so thick. It is really abnormal. However, there is very little grass in the mountains. I don't know why, Kitten, do you know why?"
In the Great Virtual Realm, Kitten rolled his eyes and said, "How would I know? I have spent ten thousand years to save you, and now my perception has been reduced by ten thousand times. However … I can see that there is no Spiritual Qi of the Life in the land here, only Spiritual Qi of the Earth Veins. It is normal that nothing grows here."
"Spiritual Qi of the Heaven and Earth? What is that?" Long Chen asked in astonishment.
"Idiot, the Spiritual Qi of the Heaven and Earth is also divided into many types. For example, Spiritual Qi of the Earth Veins is a type that is very suitable for cultivation. Compared to the most common type of Spiritual Qi in the Cangyang Country, its nature is much higher. Of course, there are many types of Spiritual Qi that are more powerful than Spiritual Qi of the Earth Veins. The Spiritual Qi of the Life is the most common type. The Spiritual Qi of the Life is spread all over the Dragon Sacrificial Continent, and it is very scattered. There is only a little bit of Spiritual Qi in a large piece of land. However, Spiritual Qi of the Life is indeed the key to the growth of all living things. The land here lacks Spiritual Qi of the Life is even worse than the Spiritual Qi of the Cangyang Country. It must have been swallowed by something," Kitten said proudly.
It had to be said that its knowledge was even broader than Lingxi's. At least, Long Chen had never heard Lingxi mention anything about Spiritual Qi of the Life.
"Spiritual Qi of the Life is very important for the recovery of life. However, you have Time Reversal, which is the most terrifying Life Combat Technique. So, you don't have to worry about the Spiritual Qi of the Life." Kitten laughed.
"Swallowed by something? What kind of strange thing is there in the Ancient Demon Territory?"
This thought flashed through Long Chen's mind, but he quickly stopped thinking about it. After all, this had nothing to do with him. He only came here to cultivate and gain more knowledge.
Seeing that the Ancient Demon Territory was right in front of them, Xiao Lang turned into his pocket-sized form and hid in Long Chen's chest. Long Chen treated Xiao Lang as a real brother. So, as long as Xiao Lang didn't want to return to the Great Void Realm, Long Chen would never agree to it.
"Brother, there is a small town in front of us. There are a lot of people there." Xiao Lang suddenly raised his head and pricked up his ears. His golden eyes were looking forward.
Long Chen looked over and saw a town in front of him. It was bustling with people. It was probably next to the Ancient Demon Territory. That was why it was so bustling.
At this time, Long Chen saw many young warriors riding their mounts toward the town.
"So many people. Do they all want to enter the Ancient Demon Area? It looks like I will have to go to this town and get some information." Long Chen didn't know anything about the Ancient Demon Area, so this was all he could do.
He had just reached the first level of the Reaching Heaven State, so he didn't attract anyone's attention. Soon, Long Chen entered the town with Xiao Lang. Except for Xiao Lang, who glanced at Long Chen, no one paid attention to Long Chen.
When he was at the entrance of the town, Long Chen saw some people from the Wushu Alliance again. He used his identity token to enter the town.
Walking on the road in the town, Xiao Chen looked at the people coming and going. Most of them were young cultivators. They looked hurried and filled with reverence. There were also some who came here under the guidance of their parents and masters. They looked somewhat afraid.
"It seems a bit rude to ask people on the street. Usually, restaurants and inns are the best places to get information. I have to find a restaurant."
It didn't take long for Long Chen to reach the largest restaurant in the town, the Thousand Floating Restaurant. He was welcomed by a waiter. He sat in the restaurant and ordered some dishes and a pot of good wine. He enjoyed the food and listened to the people around him.
There were quite a few young warriors in the restaurant. Judging from their ages, they should be under 20 years old. However, all of them were already at the first or second level of the Reaching Heaven realm, and some were even at the third level of the Reaching Heaven realm. These people would be the most outstanding geniuses in the Cangyang Kingdom. However, in this small town, there were as many of them as dogs.
Long Chen soon learned that the reason why there were so many people in this town was that they had come to participate in the entrance selection of the Ancient Demons Area. The entrance selection of the Ancient Demons Area was held every year. This time, Long Chen happened to be in time for it. He learned from them that the entrance selection would be held in a few days. The people who had arrived here were a bit late. Therefore, they were all in a hurry. Most of them passed through the town and headed for the Ancient Demons Area.
"The number of people participating in this selection battle is a bit more than before. I estimate that there will be eighty thousand people participating. In the end, only seventy people will be able to pass, and only seven people will be able to become the direct disciples of the seven Demon Kings. The competition is really great. Basically, not many people will be able to succeed."
The Ancient Demons Area is a superpower of the God Wushu Sage Empire. If you can enter the Ancient Demons Area, you will have endless benefits. Therefore, you can only fight year by year. I reached the Reaching Heaven State when I was sixteen, but I failed for three years. This year is my last chance. "
"Brother, I wish you success. But, the second level of the Reaching Heaven State is a bit uncertain."
"It depends on luck. Anyway, the entrance test doesn't just test Qi."
Long Chen learned a lot of information from their conversation.
"It's the entrance test again."
Long Chen had entered two forces before. One was the Lingwu family, and the other was the Palace of Demons of Heaven. In the Palace of Demons of Heaven, Zhao Qingyun had directly taken him in as a personal disciple. In the Lingwu family, they had only taken the entrance test. The entrance selection was probably similar to the Lingwu family's outer clan selection.
However, the Ancient Demons Area was ten thousand times more powerful than the Lingwu family. Even the rules of the elimination were much more terrifying. Seventy out of eighty thousand people would pass the entrance test, which was almost a one in a thousand chance. Without extraordinary cultivation and great fighting experience, it would be very difficult to get in.
"Brother, don't be discouraged. Even if we can't become disciples in the Ancient Demons Area, we can still join the Wushu Alliance and become the Law Enforcement Warriors of the Wushu Alliance. If the Law Enforcement Warriors of the Wushu Alliance perform well, they can eventually be recruited into the Martial Emperor City to further their studies and become the top management of the Wushu Alliance. That's much better than the Ancient Demons Area."
"You're right. Of course, we still have to fight for the Ancient Demons Area. After all, the Ancient Demons Area will definitely recruit those who are really talented. We don't have to compete with them …"
As Long Chen ate the dishes, he heard more and more news. Because he was going to the Ancient Demons Area, the number of people in the restaurant was increasing rapidly. The news that Long Chen heard came from all directions. He was going to find someone to inquire about the arrangement of the Wushu Alliance. At that moment, there was a commotion at the entrance of the restaurant. A pretty girl ran in through the door.
At first glance, she saw Xiao Lang, who was standing next to Long Chen. Her eyes suddenly lit up.
