Chapter 184 Open Up Connections
Chapter 184 Open Up Connections
The well-dressed Young Master looked at Zhao Mu as if he wasn't facing a person, but a sun hanging high above his head, emitting endless light and heat that scorched the earth and his soul.
Even when his father was angry, the fear he felt from Zhao Mu was not even one-tenth of what he felt from his father.
He was a proud man who never bowed his head, but at this moment, a strong desire to escape welled up in his heart.
His instincts told him that if he continued to talk back to this person, he would die a death several times more tragic than Feng Zheng and the others.
"Please calm down, Young Hero. I was blind and I am willing to accept any punishment." The well-dressed Young Master lowered his head and obediently admitted his mistake.
"It's good that you know your mistake."
Zhao Mu didn't make things difficult for the well-dressed Young Master. Bullying a hedonistic Young Master who could do whatever he wanted because of his background was the least satisfying.
After speaking, Zhao Mu turned around and left, flying with Tang Qing towards the front of the Sealed World.
The Golden-winged Great Peng hesitated for a moment but didn't dare to chase after them. Instead, it continued to block the remaining contestants.
The road ahead was smooth and open. Zhao Mu released a little bit of his Sun Divine Qi and the Monster Beasts blocking the way retreated, not daring to approach.
"Your strength seems to have improved a lot. Although you are still in the First-Order Soul Formation Realm, I'm afraid that you have few opponents in the Void Refinement Realm. It's not easy for a prodigy like you to appear in the Human Race, but the more this is the case, the more cautious you must be. Those old fogeys of the Monster Race love to strangle geniuses in the cradle. If you continue to grow, you will definitely pose a huge threat to the Monster Race. Once your figure enters their sights, there will be endless trouble."
Tang Qing had said so much because she was concerned about Zhao Mu. She had gradually begun to treat Zhao Mu as her own family. Otherwise, if it were someone else, she would not have said a word.
Zhao Mu's heart warmed and he subconsciously wanted to hold Tang Qing's hand. However, when he thought of her violent Spirit Energy, he dismissed the idea.
"Back then, the Old Ancestor created the Demon Sect with the purpose of promoting harmony between the Human Race and the Monster Race. Now that I have become the Demon Sect's Prince, I naturally have to continue this great cause."
"It's easier said than done … But if it's you, I'm suddenly looking forward to it. After taking back the Demon Sect, I plan to hand everything over to you. Perhaps you are more suited to lead the Demon Sect than I am."
"Really?"
Zhao Mu was overjoyed. If he could directly take over the control of the Devil Sect, then he would have more room to display his abilities.
Not to mention other things, as long as he obtained the Devil Sect's treasure trove and sent the treasures inside one by one, the Devil Sect's strength would immediately increase by several times.
According to Zhao Mu's original plan, he was prepared to establish his own sect and take in some disciples with outstanding aptitude. He would then rely on the rewards system to farm fiercely and strengthen his sect step by step.
Now that there was a ready-made Saint Prime Devil Sect waiting for him to take over, he could save a lot of work in the early stages.
However …
"Let's talk about this after we rescue the Patriarch."
If Old Ancestor Sheng Yuan returned, the situation would be very different. It would be impossible for Tang Qing to decide the ownership of the Devil Sect with just a few words.
Of course, the premise of all this was to get rid of Kong Miaoyin, the traitor.
If even Kong Miaoyin could not be shaken, then there was no point in discussing the ownership of the Devil's Sect.
Tang Qing nodded. She was not sure what the Devil Sect would become in the future. It was indeed too early to think about this.
The journey was smooth. Zhao Mu and Tang Qing arrived at the end of the mystic realm and passed the preliminaries.
Apart from the three Body Integration Realm experts who arrived first, Zhao Mu and Tang Qing ranked fourth and fifth. They were enough to advance to the second round.
When Zhao Mu and Tang Qing arrived at the end, the three Body Integration Realm experts' gazes fell on them at the same time.
A handsome man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes was the first to speak. "Just now, I felt a scorching aura of righteousness. Was it your doing?"
Zhao Mu did not avoid it and immediately admitted it.
His attitude was neither servile nor overbearing as he took the initiative to greet the three seniors.
Although the Body Integration Realm was below the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, cultivators who could reach this realm were already considered big shots. They had a certain background and connections. If there was a chance, he would definitely befriend them.
During the conversation, Zhao Mu also learned about the identities of the three people.
The handsome man with sword-like eyebrows was called Ni Zhong. He was a prince of a cultivation dynasty. Although that dynasty could not be compared to the Wuxiang Nation, one of the Five Great Sacred Lands of the human race, it was still considered a large country among the human forces. Its territory was comparable to more than ten Zhao Nations. The royal bloodline was very powerful and all of them were cultivators with extraordinary strength. There were several Tribulation Transcendence Realm experts.
This dynasty was called the Penglai Nation and it was quite famous. Zhao Mu had read about it in books.
Was the prince of the Penglai Nation tired of living a life of luxury by participating in the Sword Immortal Pavilion's Sword Test Conference?
The second Body Integration Realm expert was called Li Zhen. He was an itinerant cultivator and did not speak much. However, he was very polite and did not look down on others because of his strength.
The third person was a beautiful woman wearing a black gauze dress. She called herself Black Snow Ji. Her background was unknown and her identity was somewhat mysterious.
Among the three of them, Black Snow Ji's cultivation level should be the strongest. The other two seemed to be a little afraid of her, as if they knew her background.
After the conversation ended, the remaining contestants arrived at the finish line one after another.
Most of the cultivators were injured. It was obvious that the journey here was not easy.
However, there was no sign of the well-dressed young man. He should be afraid of Zhao Mu and took the initiative to withdraw from the competition.
When the number of people reached the finish line exceeded 200, the mystic realm teleported everyone out.
The Sword Immortal Pavilion disciple in charge announced the results of the preliminary competition.
At this point, the preliminary competition of the four groups had ended. Tomorrow would be the main event of the Sword Test Conference.
This was the most eye-catching stage of the Sword Test Conference.
There were a total of 800 contestants in the four groups who passed the preliminary competition. The opponents of the sword test were determined by drawing lots.
Everyone would have a sword test every day.
Half of the contestants would be eliminated every day for seven days.
If the remaining ten contestants were to win, they would be able to enter the Luo Fu Sword Palace and participate in the Sword Trial hosted by the Sword God, Qu Liu. They would be able to obtain the sword intent imparted by the Sword God. As for how many people would be able to obtain the qualifications to officially enter the Sword Immortal Pavilion, it would be up to the Sword God himself.
Most of the time, after a Sword Test Conference, there might not be a single new disciple.
The Sword Immortal Pavilion's standards for accepting disciples had always been harsh. Among the five great human sacred grounds, the Sword Immortal Pavilion had the least number of official disciples.
To be able to join the Sword Immortal Pavilion, other than one's own strength and talent, one's comprehension of the Sword Dao was the most important test.
Although there are very few disciples in the Sword Immortal Pavilion, not all of them are powerful.
Some of the contestants were not strong, but they had special talent in the way of the sword. Perhaps they would be favored by the Sword God.
The God of Swords had another famous saying.
I, the Sword God, am not taking in disciples to increase the strength of the Sword Immortal Pavilion. It is only to choose the sharpest sword. Even if you are a mortal, as long as you show me your unique sharpness, you can also become a disciple of the Sword Immortal Pavilion.
