This town wasn't usually so lively. It was probably because of the Ancient Demon Realm's selection that there were more and more people. At this moment, Long Chen stood on the street, feeling like there was a sea of people.
"Let's go, Qi Qi. Do you want to follow me?" Long Chen asked, lowering his head.
"Of course I want to. I want to be with the puppy."
Huangfu Qi jumped in fright and hurriedly hugged Xiao Lang even tighter. At this moment, Xiao Lang looked at Long Chen with a pleading expression.
Using the Spiritual Beast Language, Long Chen said to Xiao Lang, "Bear with it a little longer. Haha, I got such a good piece of information, so I have to thank this little girl properly. You should keep her company …"
In this way, Xiao Lang could only bear with it. Actually, this little girl was quite cute, and Xiao Lang didn't dislike her. However, as a man who was almost an adult, he felt very depressed to be treated as a puppy by a little girl.
Before this, Long Chen had already told Xiao Lang about the Nine Yang Coexisting Day. In this way, if it really succeeded, it would be of great help to Long Chen, so Xiao Lang could only bear with it …
At this moment, Long Chen began to lead Huangfu Qi through the crowd. Very soon, he was close to the edge of the town. At this moment, a young man with a protruding mouth and cheeks like an ape suddenly blocked Long Chen's way. This man was dressed like a servant, but he was also at the eighth level of the Heavenly River Tier. In the Cangyang Nation, he would be an elite among elites.
"Don't go." After blocking Long Chen's way, he immediately said arrogantly.
"What do you want?" Long Chen asked. At first, he didn't know that this guy was talking to him.
"I'm not talking to you. Get lost."
The man looked at Long Chen with disgust, then turned his gaze to Huangfu Qi. His expression instantly became extremely kind. He said gently, "Little sister, what's your name?"
"You're a bad person. I'm not telling you." Huangfu Qi glared at him and continued to play with Xiao Lang in her arms.
"Bad guy? I'm not a bad guy. I'm a good person."
The man smiled, and then said, "Little sister, you're so cute, our Young Master will definitely be very happy to see you. Why don't you come with me? As long as my Young Master likes you, he'll at least reward you with a thousand Heaven Connecting Pills. How about it?"
"A thousand Heaven Connecting Pills isn't even enough for me to spend in a day."
Huangfu Qi counted and looked at the guy with disdain. Then she looked at Long Chen and asked, "Big brother, is he blocking our way?"
"Sort of."
Long Chen laughed to himself. This guy dared to provoke this young lady. He was simply courting death. Huangfu Qi was at the fourth level of the Reaching Heaven State. There were not many people in this town who were a match for her.
"You're a bad person. Let me teach you a lesson."
Huangfu Qi's attack was very strange. In just a few seconds, she had beaten the guy until he was rolling on the ground.
Long Chen smiled. He didn't pay much attention to the servant. After all, Huangfu Qi was really pretty. She was pink and soft, which was what older men liked.
He guessed that Huangfu Qi had encountered many similar troubles on her way here.
Soon, Long Chen and Huangfu Qi left the town and headed for the Ancient Demons Area. The closer they got to the Ancient Demons Area, the more Long Chen was shocked by the magnificent Spiritual Qi of the earth.
"Although there is a lot of Spiritual Qi of the earth in the Ancient Demons Area, it's so ugly. The Spiritual Qi of the earth in the Ancient Demons Area is white, like fog. It's so beautiful," Huangfu Qi said.
There were many people going to the Ancient Demons Area on this road. However, most of them were from different places in the Wushu Sage Empire, so they didn't know many people. Therefore, they didn't talk to each other on the way. Long Chen didn't worry about going to the wrong place. After all, it would be bad if he missed the time.
The Ancient Demons Area was a group of gray mountains.
About four hours later, Long Chen and the others arrived at the foot of the mountains in the Ancient Demons Area. The entrance to the Ancient Demons Area was in front of them. However, the entrance was closed at the moment. In front of the entrance, there was a huge crowd. Long Chen estimated that there were tens of thousands of people.
There was a dense mass of human heads moving about. What was even more frightening was that those who were able to come here were practically all experts of the Reaching Heaven State and above. Each and every one of them was as powerful as the Sword Emperor from back then. If Long Chen hadn't improved a lot after Ling Xi had left, he would have been under a lot of pressure under this kind of pressure.
"Most of them are at the first level of the Reaching Heaven State. A few of them are at the second level of the Reaching Heaven State. A few of them are at the third level of the Reaching Heaven State. It's rare to see people at the fourth level of the Reaching Heaven State, but there should be some. Huangfu Qi is one of them." Long Chen had a rough idea of the competitors.
"If I want to get the Emperor Flame Bead, I have to enter the Ancient Demons Area first. After that, I will work hard …" Long Chen thought to himself.
"It seems that there is still one more day before the registration starts. Let's stay here for the night," Huangfu Qi said.
"Okay."
Long Chen nodded and found a place to sit down. Huangfu Qi hurried to follow him. She squatted down next to him, still holding Xiao Lang in her arms. She stroked Xiao Lang gently and said softly, "There are so many bad people here. Little puppy, don't be afraid. I will stay with you."
More and more people gathered at the entrance of the Ancient Demons Area. Long Chen started to practice. One day passed quickly. When Long Chen opened his eyes and stopped practicing, there were about one hundred thousand people gathered at the entrance of the Ancient Demons Area.
Seventy or eighty thousand people were here to participate in the selection of the Ancient Demons Area. The others were here to accompany their relatives or friends. Basically, everyone was excited and nervous.
Eighty thousand people competing for seventy places. It was not easy.
However, the path of practice was to fight against hundreds of millions of people. Only the most outstanding people could keep moving forward and reach the peak.
At this time, hundreds of people walked out of the Ancient Demons Area. They were all wearing black clothes, which were uniform and evil. Similar to the people of the Wushu Alliance, they all had the word "Demon" on their chests. The word "Demon" had an evil and shocking power.
"These people should be the disciples of the Ancient Demons Area. Their strength is between the third level of the Reaching Heaven State and the sixth level of the Reaching Heaven Core State." Kitten could clearly see their cultivation levels.
"The sixth level of the Reaching Heaven State means they have opened six spiritual apertures at the same time."
It was not a big deal for Kitten. However, Long Chen knew that he could kill a warrior of the third level of the Reaching Heaven State, and he could barely compete with a warrior of the fourth level of the Reaching Heaven State. However, Long Chen would not stand a chance against a warrior of the fifth level of the Reaching Heaven State.
Although his physical body was powerful, the amplification it brought him wouldn't be too monstrous. Even if he used the Dragon Soul Transformation, a martial artist at the fifth level of the Reaching Heaven State would have a hundred times more Qi than him. With such a huge gap, Long Chen's physical body, which was equivalent to a top-notch Heaven-level Body Refining Battle Technique, should be able to make up for it.
When the hundreds of people in black lined up, they all took out the registration information from their Cosmos Bags to sign up. Everyone who wanted to participate in the selection had to have their identity verified first.
Long Chen had already prepared his Jade Plate.
Soon, under the arrangement of the people in black, sixty to seventy thousand people were divided into hundreds of lines and lined up in an orderly manner. They knew that if they caused trouble at this time, they would probably be killed directly.
Long Chen and Huangfu Qi stood at the back of one of the lines.
The lines moved forward in an orderly manner. The disciples of the Ancient Demons Area were very efficient. After about two hours, almost all the people who should have signed up had signed up. Those who had signed up were waiting for the real selection to start.
"I didn't expect that I would really have the opportunity to sign up for the selection in the Ancient Demons Area. Now that I think about it, it's like a dream."
"What's there to dream about? You are only at the first level of the Reaching Heaven State. This selection is a one in a thousand chance. According to previous experience, only warriors of the third or fourth level of the Reaching Heaven State can pass the selection. It's really stressful."
"He is not even twenty years old and has reached the fourth level of the Reaching Heaven State. How abnormal is he? If he is unlucky and meets a warrior of the third level of the Reaching Heaven State, he can kill me instantly."
Around Long Chen, the people around him were discussing non-stop.
At that moment, one of them said, "Did you know that there are three stages in this selection? Nine out of ten people will be eliminated in each stage. Every time you pass the stage, you will be rewarded with Connecting Heaven Elixirs. The rewards will get more and more. I heard that if you become one of the seventy people who pass the stage, you will be rewarded with at least ten thousand Connecting Heaven Elixirs."
"That's not all. It seems that the top ten, the top three, and the champion will be rewarded with even more Connecting Heaven Elixirs. There was once a disciple who won three stages in a row. I heard that he was rewarded with a hundred thousand Connecting Heaven Elixirs."
"A hundred thousand."
Everyone was shocked. A hundred thousand Connecting Heaven Elixirs was not a small number. Normally, a warrior of the sixth level of the Reaching Heaven State wouldn't even have that many Connecting Heaven Elixirs.
"A hundred thousand Connecting Heaven Elixirs."
Long Chen had only wanted to pass the selection. He hadn't thought about winning anything. However, when he heard that he would be rewarded with a hundred thousand Connecting Heaven Elixirs, he became excited. He had used three hundred Connecting Heaven Elixirs to break through to the first level of the Reaching Heaven State. If he wanted to break through to the second level, he would need more than a thousand Connecting Heaven Elixirs. If he could get a hundred thousand Connecting Heaven Elixirs, he wouldn't have to worry about not having enough Connecting Heaven Elixirs until he reached the sixth level.
Without the Connecting Heaven Elixirs, he couldn't become stronger. If he couldn't become stronger, he wouldn't be able to get the Emperor Flame Pearl.
"It seems that I will have to work hard to get a hundred thousand Connecting Heaven Elixirs. In the Ancient Demon Area, I don't have someone like my Great Master to protect me. Even if it was a Connecting Heaven Elixir, I would have to get it myself. I'm afraid that there won't be many chances to get a hundred thousand Connecting Heaven Elixirs in one go in the Ancient Demon Area." Long Chen thought to himself.
At that moment, it was Huangfu Qi's turn.
