For Fang Chen, the current stage was very fulfilling, and he gained new things all the time.
First of all, although his original body was trapped in the cave residence of the Tao Realm cultivator, he was able to stay in the Peach Blossom Forest and study the mysteries. As time passed, his attainments in the mysteries became higher and higher, and his strength became stronger and stronger.
Even the gatekeeper was amazed. Fang Chen was the most talented cultivator he had seen in so many years.
He was really curious. What kind of achievements would he achieve in the future? Would he be able to surpass his master?
Of course, this was a story for later.
As for his fire clone, it was still in the Nine Heavens Realm. In order to obtain the things left behind by the black-robed ancestor, it had accepted the white-robed ancestor's test and participated in the Supreme Battle of the Nine Heavens Realm. At present, Fang Chen had an overwhelming advantage. He had overcome all difficulties and finally reached the final stage.
At the same time, Wang Xuan, the Charming Lady Qin Qing, and the Fast Blade Mu Chenglin had also reached the final stage. In the process of the battle, they had displayed extraordinary talent and attracted the attention of many cultivators.
It was even said that Wang Xuan's talent had attracted the attention of the Yunxiao Palace Lord. He announced to the public that he would personally watch the final battle.
Meanwhile, the consciousness in the Dark Net followed the other members of the assassin team into the new illusory secret realm, constantly exploring and looking for opportunities.
Ever since Fang Chen had displayed great strength, Wang Xuan had been amazed. He even thought that Fang Chen's strength was not weaker than his.
He had wanted to spar with Fang Chen several times, but he had been rejected by the latter. They were in the same team, and there was no need to hurt each other.
Moreover, Fang Chen did not want to expose his strength of the heart. After all, in the Three Thousand Realms of the Great Path, there were very few cultivators of the Mind Bloodline, and the threshold was very high. He was also lucky to have met the Ninth Brother, which allowed him to awaken his strength of the heart and embark on the path of cultivation of the Mind Bloodline.
Now, his strength of the heart had reached a bottleneck and could not break through. This made Fang Chen very distressed.
But the battle with the black-robed man made Fang Chen understand that his strength of the heart seemed to be able to absorb the power of the Pseudo Tao Realm, and it had improved a lot. He seemed to feel that the bottleneck had loosened a little. If he could absorb a little more power of the Pseudo Tao Realm, his strength of the heart would really reach the third level.
Thinking of this, Fang Chen was secretly delighted.
He even wondered if his strength of the heart could absorb the power of the Tao Realm.
However, he quickly tossed this thought to the back of his head. After all, the true power of the Dao State was a powerful force that only Dao Realm experts could possess. Although there was only a difference of one level between the Dao Realm and the Sovereign Realm, the difference between the two was huge.
The power of the Dao Realm was too powerful. It was simply not something that ordinary people could withstand.
Fang Chen naturally wouldn't try it blindly. Moreover, the strongest person in this new secret realm was only at the Supreme Stage. It was almost impossible for him to encounter the true power of the Tao Realm.
"Brother Xuefeng is too low-key."
Bai Long pursed his lips. With Xuefeng's current strength, he could definitely rank in the top 50 of the Sovereign Leaderboard, or even higher. But he had never competed for the leaderboard.
If news of his battle with the black-robed man were to spread, Xuefeng's name would definitely cause a storm in the Dark Net.
However, Bai Long and the others knew that Xuefeng was very low-key. They naturally would not spread the news.
"I feel that Brother Xuefeng's strength can at least rank in the top 30."
This was Wang Xuan's affirmation. He was in the top 100 of the Sovereign Leaderboard, but there was still a big gap between him and the top 50.
For example, the black-robed man had only touched the threshold of the Tao Realm and comprehended a trace of the power of the Pseudo Tao Realm. But Wang Xuan was helpless, and his life was even in danger.
On the other hand, Fang Chen could not only withstand the power of the Pseudo Tao Realm, but also kill the black-robed man. Wang Xuan was ashamed of his abilities.
Unknowingly, the core of the assassin team had shifted from Wang Xuan to Xuefeng. The other two also acknowledged Xuefeng.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. What should we do next?" asked Fang Chen.
"Our team's strength has skyrocketed because of you, Brother Xuefeng. In that case, let's take a gamble."
Wang Xuan pondered for a moment, and then his eyes lit up. He wanted to lead the assassin team back to the special area and continue to plunder the Blood Demon Pearls.
"Okay."
Soon, they reached a consensus and turned around to leave.
At the same time.
In the Continent of the Nine Heavens, in the Yunxiao Palace, the supreme cultivator battle had reached its climax. Most of the contestants had been eliminated. Those who were still alive were peerless geniuses of the supreme layer. Wang Xuan was the one who had the highest chance of winning.
After all, he was the strongest Supreme Realm of the Three Dragon Fields. No one had ever forced him to use his full strength.
Now, there were only 12 people left. Wang Xuan defeated his opponents easily every time he fought.
Bai Long was unexpectedly eliminated in the top 12. His opponent even provoked him, thinking that the people of the Three Dragon Fields were just so-so.
This completely enraged Bai Long. He wanted to argue with him, but Wang Xuan stopped him.
"Pan Mo, right?"
Wang Xuan asked with a smile, looking at the man who had defeated Bai Long and provoked him.
"Wang Xuan, I know you. You're the strongest person in the Three Dragons Realm. I hope that you won't encounter me in the battle of the top twelve. Otherwise, I'll let you know how powerful I am." After saying that, Pan Mo turned around and left.
This scene attracted everyone's attention.
They were also curious. Could Pan Mo force Wang Xuan to use his full strength?
"That Pan Mo is a dark horse. He's very strong."
"Yeah, I didn't expect the Nine Heavens Realm to have such a Supreme Realm expert."
"I think Pan Mo can defeat Wang Xuan."
All kinds of discussions reverberated in the square. Wang Xuan did not respond. Everything would be decided in the arena.
On the other side, Fang Chen's advancement into the top twelve had also exceeded everyone's expectations. However, there was only one person who believed that Fang Chen had been hiding his strength from the start and that he was not as simple as he appeared to be.
That was the goddess of the Supreme Battle, Qin Qing, the Charming Lady.
"You really hid your strength."
In the distance, Qin Qing, who was wearing a red dress, was sitting on a stone bench. Her beautiful eyes twinkled, revealing a meaningful smile.
Just as the crowd was discussing, the strong cultivator of the Yunxiao Palace announced the results of the draw for the top 12.
When the participants were announced, the crowd was disappointed that Pan Mo was not matched with Wang Xuan.
"Looks like we have to wait for the next round to see Pan Mo and Wang Xuan's battle."
Of course, some people were guessing who would be eliminated. The one who was most likely to be eliminated was Fang Chen.
"That guy called Fang Chen is the weakest among the top 12. He'll definitely be eliminated."
"That's right. The Cloud Mountain Sect is really lucky to have cultivated such an outstanding disciple."
"The Cloud Mountain Sect can brag for the rest of their lives if their disciple enters the top 12."
