Becoming an Immortal and Ancestor, Starting from the Clan-protecting Divine Beast

124: Chapter 124 Heroes from All Directions Gather at Liyuan!Jade Blood Heavenly Sect Dao Child, Life-and-Death Arena!

This news, once spread, immediately caused an uproar.

The name of the Jade Blood Heavenly Sect had been heard by various forces to some extent; after all, it was a Sect founded by a Dao Lord.

Just like the Ancient Thunder Palace, its prestige spread throughout the world, and even after countless years, it remained etched in the minds of the Cultivators of this realm, impossible to forget.

The news of Chen Zhuyun opening a Life-and-Death Arena under the identity of a Dao Child of the Jade Blood Heavenly Sect not only spread throughout the entire Liyuan Commandery, but soon, it diffused to the entire Xuan Prefecture and even the entire Great Qi Cultivation Kingdom.

Many forces scoffed at this, as the true Jade Blood Heavenly Sect was above the Nine Heavens, located within an Immortal Dao Grotto-Heaven.

And this so-called Dao Child, Chen Zhuyun, had merely obtained the recognition of the Jade Blood Heavenly Sect branch ruins in Liquan Town; at best, he could be considered a Dao Child of an immortal Sect.

This realm was vast and boundless, and the Great Qi Cultivation Kingdom only occupied a small piece of it; there were other cultivation kingdoms in existence.

It was rumored that the center of this realm was the most prosperous region, where behemoths that spanned multiple kingdoms, like the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion and the Red Dust Sect, had their headquarters located in the central region.

There, countless experts existed, and it was the core of the realm.

There, only a Golden Core True Monarch could be looked upon with respect, while Purple Mansion True Persons had to keep their heads down.

With the news of Chen Zhuyun holding a Life-and-Death Arena spreading, many more Cultivators had poured into the Liyuan Commandery city in recent days, and Purple Mansion True Persons could be seen arriving from time to time.

A crowd of mixed people meant it was difficult to manage, which kept the Governor of Liyuan Commandery very busy.

Liyuan Commandery was only a small border commandery of Xuan Prefecture; how could it handle these Cultivators who had rushed over from all corners of the world?

Therefore, he had sought help from Xuan Prefecture City.

Unexpectedly, the Golden Core True Monarch stationed in Xuan Prefecture City had come to Liyuan Commandery city in person to preside over the Life-and-Death Arena.

This Golden Core True Monarch went by the Dao name ”True Monarch Qiusha,” taking the meaning of the stern killing intent of autumn. He was a Golden Core of the Geng Metal Path, at the Late Stage, comparable to the ”Slaying Halberd” True Monarch of the Xuan Yuan Sect.

With True Monarch Qiusha present, if the ”Slaying Halberd” True Monarch wanted to cause trouble, he would have to be wary of this person, fearing that he might damage the precious vase while trying to catch the rat.

After True Monarch Qiusha expressed his stance, the matter of the Life-and-Death Arena intensified, and after more than two months of brewing, it finally reached a climax.

If there were Cultivators with good Luck who grasped the heavenly secrets and investigated with the method of Observing Qi, it would not be hard to find that Liyuan Commandery had become the center where winds and clouds gathered, attracting thick Luck that condensed and did not disperse.

In the central square of Liyuan Commandery city, a vast arena measuring ten thousand zhang across lay on the ground, grey-black in its entirety, with a mottled surface stained with blood.

It was covered in saber marks, sword traces, spear holes, and axe carvings, filled with a Concept of militant slaughter that made people feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave, shivering all over.

Around the arena, four towering spectator stands had been erected, dotted with densely packed seats, most of which were already occupied by Cultivators with powerful Auras who were chatting and laughing.

Chen Fufeng was also there; as the head of the Chen family and the father of Chen Zhuyun, he had to be there.

Besides him, Chen Zhuxiao had also come, his eyes tightly closed, his Aura restrained, as if he were conserving his energy.

Since his eldest brother was holding a Life-and-Death Arena, he, as the younger brother, naturally had to come and provide support.

”One after another, none of them are worry-free.” Chen Fufeng rubbed his temples, feeling a headache.

First there were Chen Zhuhong and Chen Zhuxiao, then came Chen Zhuyun; none of his children were easy to deal with, and trouble came one after another.

”Father, Big Brother has his own plans. As his family, we just need to provide support.” Chen Zhuxiao was more open-minded; if it were him, he would likely make the same choice and do the same.

Chen Zhuyun had been trapped in the Jade Blood Heavenly Sect ruins for over a decade; not only was he fine, but he had also opened up the Martial Dao Gangsha Realm, reaching the Peak.

This was clearly against common sense; he must have received help from the mysterious existence within that ancient ruin.

This was Karma; the cause planted before was the result yielded now.

However, Chen Zhuxiao understood that this was a good thing for his eldest brother.

Martial Dao was weak, and he could not support it alone. Only by letting the name of Martial Dao spread throughout the world and increasing the number of Martial Artists could Martial Dao be carried forward.

And this Life-and-Death Arena was an Opportunity, a chance to spread the Concept of Martial Dao to the entire Great Qi.

”Xiao’er, sigh.” Chen Fufeng wanted to say something but stopped, finally letting out a sigh.

His children had grown up, each with their own Opportunity, and as a father, he was naturally very gratified.

But Opportunity was not so easy to handle; one wrong step, and not only would they suffer, but it would also implicate the Chen family.

”Father, don’t worry. Big Brother has a mature and steady temperament; he won’t do anything he isn’t sure of. We just need to watch.” Chen Zhuxiao stood with a straight back, his eyes shining brightly like a sword about to be unsheathed, sharp and exposed!

He had a premonition that this Life-and-Death Arena duel might even involve him.

”Which force’s people will it be?” Names surfaced in Chen Zhuxiao’s mind like a revolving lantern, passing by rapidly, ”Is it the Sacred Fire Cult or the Xuan Yuan Sect?”

Just as the father and son were talking, one by one, the rarely seen Purple Mansion True Persons arrived.

At a rough glance, there were more than just a double-digit number; it was feared that it would exceed triple digits.

Among them, there were quite a few Violet Palace Peak Cultivators with Five Dharma Manifestations, sitting in high places like towering Ancient Mountains, with majestic Auras, looking down on the Cultivators.

Above these Violet Palace Peak Great True Persons, there were five figures like suns, with Auras as deep as the abyss, every movement carrying terrifying Dao Rhyme.

False Core Great Powers!

These were five False Core Great Powers!

Among them were the head of the Red Dust Tower in Changli Commandery, as well as the chief Guest Elder of the Changli Commandery Governor’s Mansion, ”Yi Yu.”

However, above these five False Core Great Powers, there was a seat of supreme nobility, full of cold and stern killing intent; a single glance seemed to reveal thousands of troops galloping, slaughtering the world!

Geng Metal dominated the power of the world’s slaughter and governed the changes of weaponry in the human world—war and military affairs—it was the most vigorous metal.

Therefore, Cultivators of the Geng Metal Path attached great importance to slaughter, especially on large-scale battlefields, where they could completely dominate the situation!

Before long, a majestic figure arrived!

The Aura of the Golden Core level dissipated, turning into various weapons, splitting the Void Realm and severing the long sky.

The boundless Concept of autumn frost killing millions of miles spread out, enveloping the entire Liyuan Commandery city.

The originally hot weather in July suddenly became cold, and large snowflakes drifted down, making even the Violet Palace Peak Great True Persons shiver involuntarily.

The person took their seat, and these visions dissipated.

The five False Core Great Powers stood up first and bowed respectfully to the figure sitting in the highest position: ”Greetings, True Monarch Qiusha.”

Subsequently, everyone in the arena stood up and bowed: ”Greetings, True Monarch Qiusha.”

”All of you, sit down.”

The gentle voice blew like a clear breeze, making people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze, and even the circulation speed of their mana became a bit faster.

True Monarch Qiusha sat at the highest point, his gaze moving, looking towards a certain place, as if he had seen through layers of Void Realm and saw a certain person.

”Time is precious, so let the Life-and-Death Arena begin.”

”I invite the Jade Blood Heavenly Sect Dao Child, Chen Zhuyun, to enter the arena!”

As the voice fell, everyone looked towards the entrance in unison.

A robust and heroic figure walked with steady steps, stepping onto the arena calmly, dressed in a black martial robe with a firm expression; it was Chen Zhuyun.

With every step he took, his Aura became stronger by a point, and in the end, it was as if he was carrying a piece of heaven and earth, suppressing everything; the ten-thousand-zhang arena seemed to be trembling.

”Jade Blood Heavenly Sect Dao Child Chen Zhuyun greets True Monarch Qiusha and all the Seniors.”

After bowing, he scanned the surroundings, his voice high and spirited: ”Today, I, Chen Zhuyun, stand in the arena and invite heroes from all sides to battle. In the Foundation Establishment realm, whoever it is, all can come up to the arena to fight me, regardless of life or death!”

After speaking, he stood on the arena like a long spear, his expression calm, his left hand behind his back, and his right hand naturally hanging at his right side.

”I will come to fight you!”

Soon, a voice came out, and a vigorous figure leaped onto the arena.

”It is Ge Quan, the True Disciple of the Taiyuan Sect. I didn’t expect him to be the first one to come up.” Some Cultivators recognized his identity and said in a low voice.

”Ge Quan of the Taiyuan Sect greets the Heavenly Sect Dao Child.”

After Ge Quan bowed, his eyes became sharp, his robes fluttered without wind, and the mana in his body was fully activated.

”Please!”

Before the words had even finished, he struck first.

The ren water mana was vast, like a broken dam on a large lake, the surging lake water rushed over, turning into a great dragon and angry flood dragon, roaring at the sky.

Even if a great mountain were in front, it would be washed away by this strike and turned into ruins.

Chen Zhuyun stood proudly on the ground, his left hand raised, forming a fist seal, the blazing blood energy surging like an ocean, rolling up ten thousand waves.

A fist seal smashed down, the brilliant golden light reflecting half the sky, like a golden sun falling from the sky, the terrifying power sweeping in all directions, making a group of Purple Mansion True Persons marvel.

”Amazing, incredible! This child’s physique is as strong as a dragon, his blood energy is unparalleled; he is worthy of being a Dao Child cultivated by the Jade Blood Heavenly Sect.”

Boom!

With a loud noise, the dragon and flood dragon formed by the ren water were smashed down by the fist like a great sun, the blazing temperature burning everything and evaporating it into countless water vapors.

Ge Quan’s expression changed slightly, the ren water river flowed under his feet, carrying him back rapidly, while he formed seals with both hands, sacrificing a treasure bead glowing with water-blue light.

Clatter!

The sound of sea waves hitting the beach came out, and the water-blue treasure bead seemed to contain a vast ocean, extremely heavy, pressing the Void Realm until it collapsed, rumbling loudly.

Roar!

Dragon roars continued, and eight thousand-zhang water dragons appeared in succession, surrounding the water-blue treasure bead, as if carrying a boundless ocean pressing down, and the Void Realm could no longer bear it, collapsing inch by inch.

Chen Zhuyun still stood in place without moving, his left hand forming a fist, the dazzling golden light reappearing, and the vigorous blood energy rushing straight into the clouds like a heavenly pillar.

Bang!

Like a dragon soaring to the Nine Heavens, like a phoenix swimming to the Nine Heavens, a fist seemingly cast from divine metal pierced through space, shaking away the water dragons, and slammed into the water-blue treasure bead.

Crack!

A crisp sound, the water-blue treasure bead let out a whimper, cracks appeared, its light dimmed, and it was swaying.

Immediately after, another fist seal smashed down, sending the water-blue treasure bead flying, its surface almost covered in cracks.

Ge Quan, whose mind was connected to the water-blue treasure bead, had blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his mind shaken, and he quickly said loudly: ”I concede!”

If he didn’t concede, his Life-Bound Magical Artifact would be blown up by Chen Zhuyun, and he would die under that invincible fist.

Just like that, Ge Quan took the initiative to concede and was moved out of the arena.

Chen Zhuyun’s calm gaze swept across the audience, and he said lightly: ”Next.”

”Yuwen Qiongtian of the Jieshi Dao, come to fight you!”
