Chapter 1632 - I'm Not Picking On Anyone
The Sovereign's Ascension
As the location of the Blue Dragon Saint Palace was gradually being confirmed, an undercurrent began to take place in the Ancient Barren Battlefield. Many people took this opportunity to make a breakthrough before the saint palace appeared, and their breakthroughs naturally caused a shocking phenomenon. Many people were already attempting to reach the fourth-pulse Dragon Pulse Realm, and it wasnât an issue for them, with saint elixirs strengthening their foundations.
But the Dragon Pulse Realm differed from the other realms; each breakthrough was a life-death experience. It didnât mean that one with a stronger foundation could make a breakthrough. Out of ten people who tried to make a breakthrough, at least half would lose their lives.
But even so, the odds were unbelievable in the eyes of others. One must know that everyone who had entered the Ancient Barren Battlefield have been there for two months, and most of them were only at the second-pulse Dragon Pulse Realm when they came in.
Who couldâve thought that in just two months, everyone would be able to grow to such an extent? This was the charm of the Ancient Barren Battlefield, which was why every sect wanted to send their disciples in, despite the danger. It was so much so that even the holy lands and demonic sects sent their disciples in.
Seven days later, after knowing the Blue Dragon Saint Palaceâs location, everyone gathered in the barren land. Nearly ten thousand people had gathered here.
One must know that over a hundred thousand people have entered this Ancient Barren Battlefield, but there were less than ten thousand people who were there. There were many reasons, but more than half of the people died from the danger here. Most importantly, the Blue Dragon Saint Palace would naturally be accompanied by great danger, and some people were already satisfied with their harvests. So they didnât want to take any further risks. There was also the last reason: not everyone knew about the Blue Dragon Saint Palaceâs region. Most chief disciples of the smaller forces werenât qualified to know at all.
Thus, everyone who had gathered there were practically the elites amongst the geniuses who entered the Ancient Barren Battlefield.
âThis is the Blue Dragon Saint Palace? Why arenât there any phenomena? Weâre not in the wrong place, rightâ¦?â
âYeah. Not to mention the blue dragon, thereâs nothing here, not even dragon aura.â
âLetâs go and take a look!â Many people were baffled when they came to this barren land. But when they flew up and tried to enter the region covered in sandstorms, they were instantly repelled by an invisible forcefield. There was a barrier here that forbade anyone from approaching.
Many people didnât believe it, but they failed in the end. Some even tried to forcibly enter by summoning their constellations and saint artifacts, but they were crushed to death by that immense pressure, dying terrible deaths.
This was terrifying, dispelling many peopleâs thoughts about entering the sandstorm. When the Sword Sectâs party arrived, Lin Yun activated his Divine Dragon Eyes while looking at that region. His gaze quickly passed through the sandstorm and saw an empty patch of land.
While he was baffled, a pair of eyes suddenly appeared. This struck Lin Yun with a heavy blow, and he quickly retracted his gaze. There was a divine blue dragon coiling around a giant pagoda. So this meant that they just had to wait where they were.
The Blue Dragon Saint Palace is really there! Lin Yun inwardly exclaimed. But why wasnât it the Azure Dragon Saint Palace? The Azure Dragon Saint Lord was clearly strong, but he had no position amongst the seven colored divine dragons. Could it be that it had a saint palace elsewhere?
Lin Yun obtained the Azure Dragon Saint Physique. Although he had refined a Blue Dragon Bone, he was naturally looking forward to the Azure Dragon inheritance more. Besides, regardless of his Azure Dragon Saint Physique or the Azure Dragon Saint Art, there was still room for improvement.
He was shocked by the Azure Dragon Saint Lordâs strength back then. Although the Azure Dragon wasnât a divine dragon, it was one of the four natural constellations. This meant that the Azure Dragonâs potential wasnât at all inferior to the Blue Dragon's, it might be even stronger.
âWhat are you thinking about?â Ye Ziling turned to look at Lin Yun.
Lin Yun shares his thoughts with her with a smile, since there was nothing to keep from Ye Ziling.
Ye Ziling briefly pondered before she replied, âI heard that the four natural constellations of the previous era were the Blue Dragon, Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger. But in the Divine Dragon Era, the Blue Dragon was changed to Azure Dragon. The Azure Dragon is an extremely mysterious existence, and the Azure Dragon Saint Lord was a powerful existence in ancient times. It was one of the leaders in the Kunlun Realm.â
âOh?â Lin Yunâs eyes lit up upon hearing that.
âWhat Junior Sister Ye said is right. The Azure Dragon is extremely mysterious, and they have a close relationship with the Blue Dragon. The Azure Dragon Lord used to be one of the leaders in the Dragon Gate. So there might be an inheritance related to the Azure Dragon in the Blue Dragon Saint Palace.â Gu Ruochen said. He could tell that Lin Yun possessed the Azure Dragon Saint Physique and cultivated the Azure Dragonâs body-refining technique. So he hoped that Lin Yun could go further in the Azure Dragonâs path.
âAre you serious?â Lin Yun asked.
âThisâ¦â Gu Ruochen hesitated because he wasnât too sure about it. He wasnât lying when he said the Azure Dragon had a close relationship with the Blue Dragon. But he wasnât sure if the Azure Dragonâs inheritance could be found in the Blue Dragon Saint Palace.
Lin Yun smiled and no longer asked about it, but at least this meant that he had some hope. As time passed, more people gathered, and the eight powerful sects arrived one after another. Aside from that, there were several powerful auras mixed within the crowd.
âThose people are from the holy lands, right?â Lin Yun asked Gu Ruochen. They were careful not to reveal any aura, but their attempt to disguise themselves was nothing in the eyes of experts like Lin Yun and Gu Ruochen.
âThatâs right.â Gu Ruochen nodded. Since he often traveled the Eastern Desolation, he had some interaction with people from the holy lands. âThat person in the northwest is an inner disciple of the holy land Heavenly Flame Sect, Wang Tao. For him to become an inner disciple in a holy land means that he could compete with the powerful sectsâ chief disciples like us.â
Lin Yun followed the direction he pointed at and saw an unremarkable blue-robed youth not too far away. That person had retracted his aura and was calmly looking at the sandstorm region. But if one looked at him closely, one would notice that this was a prideful person, and no one dared to get close to him.
âThe grey-robed youth over there should be the inner disciple of the holy land Sacred Westfloral Sect, Chen Yu. Those two over there should also be from some holy lands, but I donât know their names.â Gu Ruochen said.
An hour later, the eight powerful sectsâ disciples gathered here, aside from the Profound Sky Sect, Vajra Monastery, and the Emerald Jade Manor.
âThe Vajra Monastery and the Emerald Jade Manor arenât here yet. Can it be that the rumors are true?â
âWhat rumors?â
âDonât ask me about it. The culprit is here. I heard that the Vajra Monasteryâs Xuan Feng and Emerald Jade Manorâs Chen Tao died in Lin Yun's hands.â
âOh my god. Are you serious? Isnât Lin Yun a little too ruthless? Not only did he kill Yan Kong, but the chief disciples of the Vajra Monastery and Emerald Jade Manor as well?â
âWho knows? I heard that it was over a Sovereign Saint Artifact. Lin Yun fought three alone and nearly killed the Heavenly Blade Pavilionâs Xiao Kui. He does have the Radiant Sword Saintâs silhouette in him, and the Sword Sect will probably rise this time.â Discussions resounded from the surroundings as everyoneâs attention became focused on the Sword Sectâs party.
Few knew about Lin Yunâs battle with Xiao Kui, Chen Tao, and Xuan Feng. But everyone who could come here had practically witnessed Lin Yunâs battle with Yan Kong. So it was almost impossible for them to forget about it, and just thinking about that battle alone was enough to make their blood boil.
Lin Yun swept through the eight powerful sects alone and only used one sword to slay Yan Kong. Compared to Lin Yun, the other sectsâ chief disciples were pale.
âThe Profound Sky Sect is here!â Right then, a chill suddenly swept over as the Profound Sky Sectâs party descended from the sky. The party leader was Qin Tian, and he hovered in the air like a deity that instantly made everyone feel suffocating.
Zhang Yuan and Liu Xu, who were beside him, were also striking. They didnât even bother concealing their auras. But they were still slightly inferior to Qin Tian because the aura given off by Qin Tian was too terrifying.
Before everyone could come to their senses, a terrifying killing intent exploded that made everyoneâs faces change. They began to wonder if the Profound Sky Sectâs party was about to start a massacre when they had just arrived. Was the Profound Sky Sect going to fight with the Sword Sect before the Blue Dragon Saint Palace opened up?
As everyoneâs anticipation grew, they also felt nervous at the same time. If the Profound Sky Sect and Sword Sect were to fight here, the benefits in the saint palace would naturally go to them. But who could have guessed that Qin Tian would merely swept his gaze over everyone before he said, âGet lost if you guys donât want to die. The Blue Dragon Saint Palace belongs to my Profound Sky Sect. Death to anyone who dares to intrude. Half an incenseâs time later, donât blame me for being merciless if anyone is still here.â
His words instantly left everyone dumbfounded because Qin Tian wasnât picking on the Sword Sect but everyone present.
âWhat gives! The Blue Dragon Saint Palace is the inheritance of the Dragon Gate, and it has nothing to do with your Profound Sky Sect. You guys are taking it tooââ Someone was naturally unhappy and spoke out, which instantly drew resonation with everyone in the surroundings.
In the next moment, that person's head was blown apart, leaving everyone shocked as they looked at Qin Tian in fear. They had no idea what happened earlier. They only knew that this personâs head was blown apart when Qin Tian glanced at him from ten-odd miles away.
Just how powerful was Qin Tian? Even the faces of the powerful sectsâ chief disciples changed. When Xiao Kui and others looked at Qin Tian, they could feel a chill run down their spines because they knew that Qin Tian was serious. The Profound Sky Sect planned on monopolizing the entire Blue Dragon Saint Palace.
