While Fang Chen was refining the Essence Blood, a piece of very important news came from the northern region of the Bloody Battle Space. As soon as the news came out, countless geniuses flocked to the northern region of the Bloody Battle Space.
On the northern plain, the old site of a dilapidated ancient Sect was found. This news was too shocking.
Fang Chen and Li Xiaoke also heard the news while walking in the Bloody Battle Space.
In an open space somewhere, Fang Chen and Li Xiaoke were hurrying along.
"Fang Chen, are we going to the old site of the Sect, too?" Li Xiaoke asked.
Fang Chen nodded his head. The reason he entered the Bloody Battle Space was to search for opportunities and constantly become stronger. After that, he would join the legendary Five Elements Academy. This time, he had finally obtained such important news. How could he not go?
One had to know that those ancient super sects were all dukes that intimidated a region. Their forces were extremely tyrannical.
Although no one knew why they had fallen, there were many inheritances in their Sect.
This was what Fang Chen wanted.
Of course, there were many warriors who had the same idea as Fang Chen. They were all aiming for the inheritances in the dilapidated Sect.
This plain was called the Shattered Plain. It had been split into two by something, and there was a bottomless gully in the middle of the plain.
The air above the gully was filled with an ancient aura. It was said that the old site of the dilapidated Sect was in this gully.
After several days, Fang Chen and Li Xiaoke finally arrived at the Shattered Plain.
At this moment, there were countless warriors on the Shattered Plain. They were all here for the ancient Sect.
At the front of the Shattered Plain, there were some powerful geniuses and even some experts on the Hidden Dragon List. Behind them were some powerful warriors who couldn't make it to the Hidden Dragon List.
As soon as Fang Chen arrived at the Shattered Plain, he saw a few familiar faces: Hong Wu, Jin Zhong, and the Reverend. The three of them were standing quietly at the forefront of the group. Standing side by side with them were all powerful experts on the Hidden Dragon List.
"It seems that the super powerful warriors on the Hidden Dragon Ranking are not in the north." Fang Chen squinted his eyes and said in a low voice.
Fang Chen glanced around. Almost all the top experts on the Hidden Dragon Ranking were not here, which meant that these geniuses were not in the north.
After all, the Bloody Battle Space was very vast. The northern region was also very far away from the other three divisions.
Even if the news spread to the other three divisions, those geniuses were not willing to travel long distances to compete for the opportunity, because there were more important things waiting for them.
At that moment, Hong Wu, who was sitting in the front row, discovered Fang Chen. Her eyes were filled with rage.
"Damn it, that brat has appeared again," Hong Wu said coldly.
She was holding half of a fiery red whip in her hand, which had been cut in half by Fang Chen.
Jin Zhong also discovered Fang Chen. His eyes flickered as he said in a low voice, "Yeah, he's here too."
"Hmph, there are quite a few Hidden Dragon Ranking experts here. Given his strength, he'll definitely die if he enters the Sect," the Reverend said in a low voice.
Hong Wu and the other two didn't act rashly.
However, the red-faced cultivator at the side seemed to have noticed the strangeness of the three. He immediately followed their gazes and discovered Fang Chen.
"Who is he?" the red-faced warrior asked curiously.
"He's a formation grandmaster," the Reverend said.
Upon hearing the Reverend's words, the other warriors all looked at Fang Chen in astonishment. They had never expected that a formation grandmaster would appear here.
As expected, the powerhouses on the Hidden Dragon Leaderboard had different expressions when they heard the words "Formation Grandmaster".
The red-faced warrior smiled faintly and said, "If I'm not wrong, Reverend, you must have suffered a loss when he was injured."
Upon hearing the red-faced warrior's words, the Reverend said in a low voice, "If I'm also a formation grandmaster, destroying him would be as easy as flipping my hand."
"Reverend, stop bragging. It's ridiculous that a formation grandmaster wants to defeat a formation grandmaster," the red-faced warrior said disdainfully.
Subsequently, the red-faced warrior slowly walked in front of Fang Chen under everyone's gaze. He smiled and said, "My name is Fan Xinjue. Can we be friends?"
Fan Xinjue. Upon hearing this name, Fang Chen was stunned.
This person was ranked 30th on the Hidden Dragon Ranking. His cultivation had reached the peak of the second level of the Spiritual Vortex Realm. It was said that he had once killed a martial artist at the third level of the Spiritual Vortex Realm and became famous overnight.
Fan Xinjue specialized in Water Cultivation Techniques. His Water Cultivation Technique was very powerful. Every time he attacked, it would be accompanied by majestic waves. Hence, he was known as the Wave Jue.
Fan Xinjue took the initiative to greet Fang Chen because he saw his potential. To be able to become a formation grandmaster at such a young age, his future achievements would definitely be extraordinary. Such a martial artist was worthy of being friends with Fan Xinjue.
Seeing Fan Xinjue's outstretched hand, Fang Chen grinned and said, "My name is Fang Chen."
"Fang Chen, this ancient Sect is very strange. After we enter, how about we travel together?" Fan Xinjue asked.
"Sure," Fang Chen said.
In the front row, Hong Wu and the others' faces were ashen. They wanted to kill Fang Chen, but there was nothing they could do.
Rumble!
Just as Fang Chen was talking to Fan Xinjue, a deafening sound suddenly came from the bottomless ravine. Following that, everyone felt the ground tremble.
"What's going on?"
Many martial artists cried out in panic.
The expression of the Hidden Dragon Rank expert standing in the front row flickered slightly as he gazed at the bottomless gully. All of a sudden, a beam of golden light shot out of the gully, and a floating bridge appeared in it, connecting it to the edge of the Shattered Plain.
"Could it be …" Jin Zhong and the others exclaimed.
Immediately, countless martial artists realized that they had to cross the pontoon bridge to enter the ancient Sect.
For a moment, many martial artists were eager to step onto the pontoon bridge. However, at this moment, a golden light suddenly flashed, and an ancient voice entered everyone's ears.
"If you want to enter my Water God Sect, you have to pass the pontoon bridge."
This ancient voice made many martial artists cry out in surprise. They didn't know what kind of test the pontoon bridge was, but after the voice came out, they didn't say anything.
Everyone looked at each other. In the end, Jin Zhong took the lead and said, "Let me, Jin Zhong, try."
Because they didn't know what kind of test was on the pontoon bridge, and whether it was dangerous, Jin Zhong was willing to be the first to try. No one objected.
After Jin Zhong stepped onto the pontoon bridge, he disappeared instantly. Everyone looked at the pontoon bridge in confusion.
Before long, a dazzling light burst out from the pontoon bridge. In that light, a large, vigorous character vaguely appeared: Xuan.
"Xuan? What does that mean?"
When everyone saw the character, they exclaimed in surprise. Why would there be a character?
At this moment, Jin Zhong came out. His figure flashed, and he directly jumped onto the Shattered Plains. In his hand was a wooden tablet with the character "Xuan" written on it.
"Jin Zhong, what's going on?" The priest asked first.
"The pontoon bridge is actually a comprehensive test for martial artists. The Water God Sect has set up a total of four levels of tests: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Yellow. The higher the level of the test, the greater the opportunity after entering the Water God Sect," Jin Zhong said in a low voice, his face a little pale.
Out of the four major tests of Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow, he had only barely passed the Profound Grade test. This left him speechless.
"I see." The priest nodded.
"Even you could only pass the Xuan level test. How strong are the Earth level and Heaven level tests?" Hong Wu asked coldly.
Instantly, countless martial artists on the Shattered Plains began to discuss spiritedly. They were all trying to figure out what this so-called pontoon bridge test was all about.
After a brief commotion, the priest made his move.
The priest was a formation grandmaster. Although his fighting strength was definitely not as good as Jin Zhong's, his comprehensive fighting strength was still extremely formidable.
At this moment, Fang Chen and Fan Xinjue arrived at the back of the Shattered Plains side by side. The two of them were discussing.
"Brother Fang, what kind of test do you think the priest will pass?" Fan Xinjue asked.
"It might be the Earth level test," Fang Chen said.
He had fought the priest head-on before, and had to admit that the priest was a genius in formations. If he hadn't suppressed the priest with his attainment in formations, he would have been the one to lose that day.
"Oh, Brother Fang thinks so highly of the priest." Fan Xinjue was a little surprised.
Before long, the priest came out. He had really passed the Earth level test. His vigorous and powerful 'Earth' character in the sky illuminated the entire land.
The priest held the wooden tablet with the character 'Earth' in his hand, his face full of excitement.
The Water God Sect had four major tests in total. Since he had passed the second major test, he should be able to obtain a lot of treasures.
"I wonder who among you will be able to pass the Heaven level test." The priest looked at Fang Chen as he spoke.
After the priest passed the test, one Hidden Dragon Ranking expert after another took the pontoon bridge test.
Several of them passed the Xuan level test, while two passed the Earth level test. They were Fan Xinjue, who was ranked 30th, and Sha He, who was ranked 32nd.
In just an hour, all of the Hidden Dragon Ranking experts had passed the pontoon bridge test. Now, it was time for the ordinary disciples to take the pontoon bridge test.
So far, only Fan Xinjue, Sha He, and the priest had passed the Earth level test. As for the others, they had all passed the Xuan level test.
After Fan Xinjue came out of the pontoon bridge, he looked at Fang Chen and said, "Brother Fang, why don't you go try it?"
Fang Chen nodded and took a step forward, stepping into the pontoon bridge.
"Hmph, the pontoon bridge test isn't a joke. It'll be ridiculous if you accidentally lose your life," said Hong Wu coldly.
Her heart was filled with hatred for Fang Chen. She wished that Fang Chen would die in the pontoon bridge test.
