At the same time, Wang Yan's dantian began to revolve madly. Strands of astral power flowed through his hidden meridians.
With each circulation, the amount of astral power in his dantian would decrease.
This was the effect of the Star Condensing Technique.
Along the way, Wang Yan had never stopped compressing and fusing the astral power.
After all, once he succeeded, not only would his battle prowess increase, but he would also gain a life-saving move.
Of course, the price he had to pay was great.
The amount of Star Guiding Stones Wang Yan had plundered in the ancient secret plane began to decrease as he constantly compressed and fused the astral power.
This made Wang Yan feel even more certain that the creator of the Star Condensing Technique was definitely a great clan that surpassed all the other clans or empires.
It was even very likely that it was a supreme figure that had shaken the continent thousands of years ago.
Otherwise, how could they have created such a terrifying cultivation method?
Not only did it break the unchanging shackles of the Starsource Continent, but it also consumed a terrifying amount of Star Guiding Stones.
If it were not for Wang Yan's constant fortuitous encounters, he really would not have dared to compress and fuse the astral power so casually.
"There's still two months left before the Martial Arts Competition begins."
"Wang Yan, where do you think you can rank with your current level of cultivation?"
Liu Chen, who was stuck at the peak of the Star Forging realm, did not participate in the Sun Sect's sect competition at all.
He knew that he would only become a stepping stone for others if he participated. Instead of wasting time, he would rather cultivate diligently.
"What do you think?"
Wang Yan slowly opened his eyes, only to discover that everyone was staring at him in a daze.
Smiling helplessly, Wang Yan stopped circulating the astral power and let out a breath.
"The Martial Arts Competition held by the nine sects is filled with hidden talents. I don't know how far I can go right now."
Hearing that, Liu Chen snickered. "With your strength, it shouldn't be a problem for you to make it into the top ten."
With that, Wang Yan raised an eyebrow and smiled mysteriously. "Why are you so sure?"
"Zhou Ao, Zhuo Long, Li Zhenhai, and the leaders of the Star sect and Star Sect in the ancient secret plane. Which one of them isn't influential in the outside world?"
"But in the end?
They all lost to you. Even Li Zhenhai of the Soaring Cloud Merchant Association was killed by you. "
With that, Liu Chen gazed deeply at Wang Yan and sighed softly.
Shock flashed in Xiao Chen's long and narrow eyes, as if he was still in shock from Wang Yan.
"Li Zhenhai was at the peak of the Star Refinement Realm. He had been famous for a long time, yet you killed him."
"And Zhuo Long, who had reached the Star Condensation Realm a long time ago, died tragically at your hands. If even you can't enter the top ten of the Martial Arts Conference, I think … no one in the Nine Sects can!"
"The Yan Sect" Liu as "Sect" as "as" Chen "Star sect, Wang Yan's said.
"She" She "Time", "As the" Chen "the" Sect She "Wang of the of" Sect, "was," Time "as." Liu Wang "as.
"The six Sect as". "Of time,," Yan "Yan" Sect "Are said." Time.
"As for the other six Sects," Wang Yan looked at Liu Chen meaningfully.
"If I don't break through to the Star Refiner Realm before the Martial Arts Competition begins, I'm afraid I won't even make it to the top 50."
"If I don't break through to the Star Refiner Realm before the Martial Arts Competition begins, I'm afraid I won't even be able to make it to the top 50."
Everyone had different expressions when they heard that.
Wang Yan's battle prowess was obvious to all. It was terrifying. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was unfathomable.
But now, even he himself said so, so how deep was the waters of this Martial Arts Competition?
"That's true. The Martial Arts Competition is a competition where the geniuses of the nine Sects gather. It gathers the ten strongest people from each Sect."
"It's a gathering of heroes and a showdown between the best. It's not to be underestimated."
Hearing Liu Chen's words, Wang Yan nodded and closed his eyes.
The carriage shed fell silent. Everyone stopped talking and focused on their own cultivation.
After an unknown amount of time, Cang Jin's voice was heard.
"I think … we're here."
Liu Chen lifted the curtain and squinted into the distance. After a few seconds, she retracted her head. "We're here. Prepare to land."
Under Cang Jin's control, the Sun-Chasing Dragon Horse stopped and slowly landed.
In a short while, Wang Yan and the other four, led by Liu Chen, stopped at the foot of a mountain that was tens of thousands of feet high.
"Look, that's the unknown Secret Land."
Looking at the place where Liu Chen was pointing, Wang Yan and the others couldn't help but be stunned.
At the foot of the mountain not far from them, weeds were overgrown. Towering trees intertwined with each other and rose from the ground. The dense and huge branches and leaves covered the sky.
A dark cave was looming. If one didn't look carefully, they wouldn't notice it at all.
The cave was about ten feet square, and its edges were as smooth as a mirror. It seemed to have been cut by a sharp blade.
It also looked like a star had fallen from the Ninth Heaven and smashed into the ground, creating such a cave.
Apart from that, there was nothing special about it.
"This is a Secret Land?
No matter how I look at it, it looks like the cave of some beast. "
Looking at Wang Yan's doubtful face, Liu Chen didn't get angry. Instead, she smiled and said, "If you think it's a cave, then let's go in and check it out first. What do you think?"
"Senior Martial Brother Liu, how can you say that?"
Before Wang Yan could answer, Wang Xian 'er spoke first. She rolled her eyes at Liu Chen with slight dissatisfaction.
"Big Brother, if we're going in, we'll go together. No one will go first."
Hearing that, Liu Chen smiled embarrassedly and said, "Junior Martial Sister Xian 'er, didn't your big brother just say that this is a cave of some beast?
I'm just asking him to go in and check its authenticity. I don't mean anything else. "
With a snort, Wang Xian 'er said angrily, "You better not, or I won't forgive you."
"Xian 'er, don't talk so much."
Wang Yan chuckled and glanced at Wang Xian 'er, Lin, and Cang Jin.
At the same time, Wang Yan's voice echoed in the minds of the three of them.
"Be careful of Liu Chen. I have a feeling that there's something wrong with him."
In an instant, the expressions of Wang Xian 'er and the other two changed slightly, but they returned to normal in the blink of an eye.
"If that's the case, then listen to Xian 'er. Let's go in together."
After saying that, Wang Yan looked at Liu Chen and said, "Senior Martial Brother Liu, please."
Shrugging indifferently, Liu Chen smiled evilly and walked out to the front of the cave. Wang Yan and the others followed closely behind.
As soon as they got closer, Wang Yan keenly sensed a faint cold aura drifting out from the cave from time to time.
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Wang Yan released a strand of his Divine Soul into the dark cave to investigate.
"The few of you down there, this is private territory. Get out of here immediately!"
At this moment, an arrogant and cold voice suddenly sounded.
In an instant, Wang Yan and the others immediately turned around and were stunned.
They didn't know when, but there were several figures floating in the void behind them.
Each figure was dressed in black, with a lifelike auspicious cloud embroidered on the left chest.
