The Void Heaven Barrier was the Sect's most common sealing technique.
It could also be considered a test.
After all, the Sect's disciples were spread throughout the universe.
The higher-ups of the Sect couldn't take care of them all.
Thus, if an elite came to ask for the Void Sky Divine Vine in some remote areas, the Sect would definitely give them face.
It was impossible for the guardians to not give them face. However, at this time, the Void Heaven Barrier came in handy.
The old man had guarded the Void Sky Divine Vine here for tens of thousands of years, and had encountered many cultivators who challenged the Void Heaven Barrier.
However, there had never been anyone who could light nine lamps at the same time.
In his memory, the best person had only lit seven bronze lamps.
Of course, they were all Heaven Dipper Tier cultivators.
The requirements for Heavenly Body Tier cultivators to challenge the Void Heaven Barrier were much higher. There was no comparison.
Now, this child had actually lit nine bronze lamps.
"This physique must be a top-notch physique," the old man said in a low voice.
In his eyes, there was a trace of appreciation for talent.
If such an outstanding person could become his disciple, how good would that be?
Unfortunately, the old man also knew his own limits. This kind of genius wouldn't easily become a disciple.
"Let's go."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, he landed on the ground.
At this time, Fang Chen and the woman in red on the ground were still shocked.
"The Void Heaven Barrier disappeared?" the woman in red asked.
"It should be." Fang Chen was secretly delighted.
The Void Heaven Barrier disappeared. This meant that they could obtain the roots of the Void Sky Divine Vine.
Huala!
Just as the two of them were talking, the old man and the linen-clothed man appeared.
Seeing this, Fang Chen was stunned.
He had already seen the linen-clothed man, and this old man should be the great elite behind the linen-clothed man, right?
Fang Chen couldn't sense any aura from the old man. Presumably, this person was at least a Heavenly Body Tier cultivator.
"Greetings, Senior," Fang Chen and the woman in red clasped their hands.
"The two of you have broken through the Void Sky Barrier. These are the Void Sky Divine Vine's roots you need." The old man waved his hand and two roots shot out.
Fang Chen and the woman in red reached out to catch them.
"Thank you, Senior."
"Can I ask you a question?" Suddenly, the old man looked at Fang Chen and asked.
"Senior, please speak."
"What is your constitution?" asked the old man.
Hearing this, Fang Chen fell silent.
Seeing this, the old man no longer forced Fang Chen. He laughed and said, "You can leave now, but don't tell anyone about what you saw in the Forbidden Vine Forest."
Fang Chen cupped his hands towards the red-dressed woman and quickly left.
Looking at the two's departing figures, the old man's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.
In the end, he turned to look at the linen-clothed man.
"If my memory serves me right, Clear Sky Island will be hosting a hunt in a few months.
All of the younger generation of Heavenspan Island will participate, including some of the reclusive chosen. "
The linen-clothed man nodded.
"Make some preparations. Go and participate when the time comes," the old man said.
Hearing this, the linen-clothed man was slightly surprised.
As guardians, they would not easily leave the Void Sky Divine Vine's range.
Yet, his master was asking him to participate in the hunt.
"Don't worry," said the old man. "Given Master's cultivation base, there aren't many people in Heavenspan Island who would dare to mess with him. This is a golden age, and geniuses are coming out in droves. This hunting competition will be a good training for you."
The linen-clothed man nodded heavily.
Fang Chen did not expect to obtain the Void Sky Divine Vine in such a way.
Moreover, he also obtained some secrets about the Void Sky Divine Vine.
A few days later, the two walked out of the Forbidden Vine Forest.
Fang Chen was ready to part with the red-dressed woman.
"Let's part ways here," said Fang Chen.
The red-dressed woman nodded with a complicated look in her beautiful eyes. Then, she asked, "Will you participate in the hunt?"
Fang Chen nodded. "Yes."
"See you at the hunt."
With that, the red-dressed woman disappeared.
Fang Chen shook his head slightly and hurried back to the Sealed Sky City.
Then, he took the teleportation formation and returned to the Black Sky Sect.
Within the Sealed Sky City, in a certain elegant courtyard.
Ouyang Hong sat on a rattan chair, leisurely enjoying the feeling of the sun shining on his face.
Feng Bing, an elite disciple of the younger generation of the Sealed Sky Sect, stood beside him.
"Young master, it's my fault. Can't you punish me?" Feng Bing said bitterly.
"Alright, alright. Don't disturb my rest."
Ouyang Hong said unhappily. "Go back first. I'll call you when I need you."
Ouyang Hong had been cultivating with his reclusive master deep in the mountains.
He had just left the mountains and was unfamiliar with the place. He came to the Sealed Sky City and waited for the hunt to begin.
He thought that he also needed someone to run errands, so he got to know Feng Bing.
Later, Feng Bing's actions made him very angry.
Feng Bing hurriedly excused himself.
"Brother, I'm back."
As soon as Feng Bing left, a red figure landed in the courtyard.
"How was it?"
Hearing this voice, Ouyang Hong immediately sat up and looked at the red figure in front of him.
"I successfully obtained the Voidsky Divine Vine's roots. Hahaha."
The red dressed woman was very happy. Her face was full of smiles.
"Quickly tell me how you obtained the Voidsky Divine Vine's roots." Ouyang Hong was very curious.
"I entered the Forbidden Vine Forest."
The red dressed woman gave a simple explanation. She did not mention Fang Chen.
After all, this was a test given to her by her grandfather. It wouldn't be good if her grandfather knew that there was an outsider helping her.
"Not bad. Little sister, you passed my grandfather's test. Now, he definitely won't stop you from participating in the hunt." Ouyang Hong smiled.
If Fang Chen was here, he would definitely be shocked.
Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that the woman in red and Ou Yanghong were actually siblings.
Inside the Black Heaven Sect.
As soon as Fang Chen returned to the Black Heaven Sect, he ran into something.
There were many disciples gathered in the square of the Sealed Sky Palace. It seemed that something lively was going on.
When Fang Chen walked over to take a look, his face suddenly darkened.
Xi Qing was lying on the ground. His body was covered in blood and his face was extremely pale.
"If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't kill you because you're a junior commander, you would've already died," a golden-armored commander said disdainfully.
Fang Chen's gaze fell on the golden-armored commander and he immediately recognized him.
This person was the golden-armored commander of the Golden Sky Palace.
"A dignified golden-armored commander attacking a junior commander like me. How laughable." Xi Qing sneered.
He was not afraid of the golden-armored commander at all.
The surrounding people also shook their heads.
But they did not dare to say anything.
Fang Chen asked around and learned what had happened.
The golden-armored commander of the Golden Sky Palace came to the Sealed Sky Palace to do some business and encountered Xi Qing on his way back.
Xi Qing happened to be sparring with another junior commander in the square.
He accidentally shot a strand of sword qi at the golden-armored commander.
The latter was furious and directly attacked Xi Qing, severely injuring him.
Fang Chen also saw what happened next.
His face was ashen as he walked out of the crowd step by step.
The golden-armored commander was about to leave when he suddenly heard someone shouting Sanguinati's name.
Then he saw Sanguinati.
Ignoring the gazes of the surrounding people, Fang Chen walked over to Xi Qing and helped him up.
Then he said in front of everyone, "Apologize to him."
"Sanguinati, did a donkey kick your head? You want me, a golden-armored commander, to apologize to a junior commander?" The golden-armored commander of the Golden Sky Palace seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Apologize," Fang Chen said again.
Hearing this, the golden-armored commander's face darkened.
"Sanguinati, know your place. Don't think that I'm afraid of you just because you've become a golden-armored commander," the golden-armored commander said coldly.
Fang Chen helped Xi Qing to the side and walked straight to the golden-armored commander.
"Brother Xue." Xi Qing was a bit worried.
"Because of Jin Tianzhan, you're hostile to me and then took your anger out on my friend."
Fang Chen's words caused the surrounding martial artists to cry out in alarm.
"He offended me, so I attacked him. What's wrong with that?" asked the golden-armored commander.
"You dare to do something but don't dare to admit it? What a joke." Fang Chen sneered.
He had a grudge with Jin Tianzhan, and the latter just so happened to attack Xi Qing.
If Fang Chen still couldn't figure it out after putting everything together, he would be a pig.
"Sanguinati, don't go too far," said the golden-armored commander.
Bang!
The only response he got was a punch.
Caught off guard, the golden-armored commander was forced back by Fang Chen.
