The Supreme Battle of the Nine Heavens Realm came to an end with Fang Chen's victory.
This was something that no one had expected before the start of the competition. Wang Xuan, the favorite to win the championship, had actually lost to Fang Chen. Even Mu Chenglin's Rusty Battle had been shattered by Fang Chen. Not to mention, the Lady of Charm, Qin Qing, had tried her best but failed to charm Fang Chen.
This scene was extremely visually stunning.
Until this moment, everyone's heart was somewhat absent-minded. In the Supreme-Being Battle where experts were as numerous as trees in the forest, no one had expected that in the end, it would be seized by a disciple from a remote small sect. This was simply unbelievable.
Everyone was trying to find out more about Fang Chen, but it was only limited to the fact that he was a disciple of the Cloud Mountain Sect.
The Charming Lady Qin Qing, the strongest Honorable Wang Xuan of the Three Dragon Realms, and his good brother the White Dragon all congratulated Fang Chen for taking first place.
Although they had lost, they were not unhappy. After all, it was a reward for them to be able to fight with a top cultivator.
Grandmaster Wang of the Cloud Mountain Sect was completely dumbfounded. He would never have dreamt that Fang Chen would be able to take first place. This was just too ridiculous.
"This …"
Sect Leader Wang rubbed his eyes hard. He could not believe what he was seeing. His heart was beating wildly. The white-robed old ancestor had sent him such an excellent disciple.
Fang Chen won the first place. Did that mean that the Cloud Mountain Sect would get more resources from the Nine Heavens Palace? They might become a top force second only to the Nine Heavens Palace?
Thinking of this, Sect Leader Wang's heart was burning. The others were also cheering.
On the high platform, the high-level cultivators of the Cloud Mountain Sect were also curious about Fang Chen. Some of them even said that they wanted to take Fang Chen as their disciple. They promised that they could help him reach the Tao Realm within a hundred years.
Of course, some cultivators also said that they would fight for all the resources for him if he could cultivate under them.
Finally, unexpectedly, the leader of the Cloud Mountain Sect of the Nine Heavens Realm also appeared. As soon as he appeared, he gave people a very oppressive feeling.
That was the aura of the Tao Realm.
Everyone exclaimed. Even a Dao Realm expert appeared. Wasn't that just too shocking?
The Cloudy Cloud Palace Master was wearing a black robe and emitted a cold and terrifying aura. Everyone thought that he was a Dao Realm expert, but in reality, he was only half a step into the Dao Realm. He was stronger than those who had comprehended the power of the Fake Dao Realm, but weaker than the real Dao Realm experts.
He could temporarily release some true Tao state power, but he couldn't maintain it for a long time.
Therefore, it was known as the half-step Dao Realm.
He was the Leader of the Cloud Palace, the strongest cultivator of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. Even though he wasn't the Leader of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, he was recognized as such.
"Are you willing to become my disciple?"
Yun Xiao Palace's Leader looked down at Fang Chen and made a promise. "I can promise you that within ten thousand years, you'll become the ruler of the Continent of the Nine Clouds."
Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this.
Ruler of the Continent of the Nine Heavens. Didn't that mean that Yun Xiao Palace was raising Fang Chen as his successor? And he wanted him to become the ruler of the Continent of the Nine Heavens?
Every ruler of the Three Thousand Worlds of the Great Path had their own unique power. As long as the world was not destroyed, they would never die.
Being the ruler of the Continent of the Nine Clouds was a supreme status symbol. Yun Xiao Palace was actually willing to give it to someone else.
"Are you willing?"
Everyone thought that Fang Chen would agree without hesitation when faced with Palace Master Yun Xiao's question. However, to everyone's surprise, he shook his head and refused.
"Sorry, I don't want to join any forces for the time being."
As soon as he said this, the square was in an uproar. Everyone was dumbfounded.
Was this true?
He refused the invitation of a Dao Realm expert and gave up the chance to become the ruler of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. Was this guy crazy?
Qin Qing's beautiful eyes flickered, feeling bewildered in her heart. She increasingly felt that Fang Chen was extraordinary. Wang Xuan even gave Fang Chen a thumbs up. To be able to resist such a great temptation, it truly wasn't easy.
"Humph."
Yun Xiao Palace, who was half a step away from the Dao Realm, was rejected in public for the first time. His face was cold and he was very angry.
The elders of Yun Xiao Palace all scolded Fang Chen. "Kid, don't think that you can look down on others just because you got first place in the Supreme Battle."
"Humph, in the eyes of the Palace Master, you're just an ant."
"How dare you reject the Palace Master's invitation. You're courting death."
Many elders changed their attitude and scolded Fang Chen fiercely. If it weren't for the attention of the other forces, they would have already killed him.
Fang Chen raised his head and looked at Yun Xiao Palace in silence.
"You can leave."
After a long while, Yun Xiao Palace's body flashed and disappeared. A cold voice came from the void.
Sect Leader Wang heaved a sigh of relief. But he was also worried about Fang Chen. After offending Yun Xiao Palace, it would be difficult for him to do anything in the Nine Clouds Realm.
The others also shook their heads. Was such a good seedling going to die before he grew up?
Qin Qing, the Lady of Charm, walked to Fang Chen and whispered, "Mister Fang, if you're in danger, you can come to the southern region to find me."
"Thank you." Fang Chen cupped his fists and thanked her.
Wang Xuan and Bai Long walked over and wanted to invite Fang Chen to the Three Dragon World, but they were rejected.
"Alright then. If you're in danger, just come to the Three Dragon World." After that, the two left.
Fang Chen's purpose of participating in the Supreme Battle was not only to train himself, but also to get the things left behind by the Black-robed Ancestor.
Now, he had completed his training beyond expectations and got first place in the Supreme Battle. It was time to meet the Black-robed Ancestor.
After the Supreme Battle ended, all the forces left one after another.
There was supposed to be a reward ceremony, but because Fang Chen had offended Yun Xiao Palace, his first place was taken away. He was not qualified to receive the reward, so he could only leave with the Cloud Mountain Sect.
"Sect Leader Wang, you go first. Their target is me. They won't do anything to you." Fang Chen transmitted his voice.
Sect Leader Wang glanced at Fang Chen and thought of the Black-robed Ancestor. Finally, he nodded and left.
As expected.
After the Cloud Mountain Sect left, Yun Xiao Palace soon received news that Fang Chen had not left the mountain.
"Keep a close eye on him. If he dares to leave Yun Xiao Palace, kill him." This was an order from the higher-ups of Yun Xiao Palace.
They also sent experts to monitor Fang Chen's every move.
However, even so, on a dark and windy night, Fang Chen mysteriously disappeared.
When this news reached the ears of the upper echelons of Cloudy Palace, all of them were furious. They immediately gave the order to find him even if they had to dig three feet into the ground.
At this moment.
Fang Chen had been taken away by the Black-robed Ancestor.
