234 Spatial Pearl
âDo you really have a way to help me control my God-demon Body? And it can even greatly increase my strength?â Gu Tianhen asked. His eyes were filled with doubt. He didnât really believe Qin Chenâs words. After all, it wasnât easy to control the God-demon Body. He had been searching for such a method for hundreds of years to no avail.
Looking at Gu Tianhenâs reaction, Qin Chen gave him some proof by saying in a deep voice, âHave you heard of the God-demon Imperial Sutra?â
âThe God-demon Imperial Sutra! The sutra that was created by Great Emperor Shen Mo? Wasnât it already lost? How could you possibly have it?â Gu Tianhen exclaimed. As someone with the God-demon Body, he naturally knew about the God-demon Imperial Sutra. However, he also knew that the scripture had long been lost. Therefore, he did not believe Qin Chenâs words.
The corner of Qin Chenâs mouth rose, and a smile appeared. He tapped his finger, and spiritual energy flickered on his fingertip. Then, he wrote the opening chapter of the God-demon Imperial Sutra in the air.
âBoth good and evil, both divine and demonic. It can control the divine and demonic paths and is comparable to the Divine Bodies and the Holy Bodies. That is the God-demon Body. It is both a disaster and a blessing. The god-demon path is one of the most powerful offensive Great Paths, but itâs also one of the most difficult to control. To cultivate the God-demon Body, you needâ¦â
Gu Tianhen mumbled softly as he followed Qin Chenâs words and started to circulate his energy. The God-demon Body in his body started to resonate and the divine and demonic energy in his body that had been devouring each other became harmonious. Half of Gu Tianhenâs body was shrouded in demonic energy while the other half was shining with divine light. He looked even more amazing than he did during the day.
âItâs really the God-demon Imperial Sutra! How did you get it? Did you dig up the tomb of Great Emperor Shen Mo?â Gu Tianhen was shocked by the benefits of the God-demon Imperial Sutra and was even more shocked that Qin Chen actually had it.
âYou donât need to know how I got it. Just tell me, are you willing to agree to my conditions?â Qin Chen dispersed the words written by spiritual energy words and asked Gu Tianhen.
Gu Tianhenâs eyes narrowed. After a moment of hesitation, he frowned and asked, âWhy do you want me to protect Holy Lord Ling Ran? Arenât you afraid that I wonât fulfill your condition after I agree?â
âSince ancient times, the people with the God-demon body have all been upright people, and I believe you are one of them. Moreover, there are not many who have the ability to protect Ling Ran. Among these people, you are the only one who has no enmity with me and will agree to it,â Qin Chen was very frank.
He was not worried that Gu Tianhen would reject him because of this. After all, in the entire ten lands, he was the only one who was willing and had the ability to help Gu Tianhen control the God-demon Body. If Gu Tianhen didnât agree, even if he went to Chiyang Heaven, his cultivation might not improve. Therefore, Qin Chen was not worried that the other party would reject him.
Just like Qin Chen had thought, Gu Tianhen had no way out. He could only agree to Qin Chenâs condition. Otherwise, his path of cultivation would come to an end. If he continued to cultivate, he might even lose his life due to the loss of control of the God-demon Body without the sutra.
After weighing the pros and cons, Gu Tianhen did not hesitate any longer. He immediately agreed and said in a deep voice, âI agree to your condition. Before you come to Chiyang Heaven, I will use my life to protect Holy Leader Ling Ran.â
âThank you. This is the God-demon Imperial Sutra that you need,â Qin Chen nodded. A beam of spiritual energy shot out from his finger and entered Gu Tianhenâs mind. The God-demon Imperial Sutra appeared in the latterâs mind, and his God-demon Body resonated with the sutra before starting to circulate on its own, emitting a terrifying aura.
The Great Path buzzed, and two Great Path chains, one black and one golden, shot out from the void. They surrounded Gu Tianhen, making clanking sounds. This was a sign that Gu Tianhenâs God-demon Body was recovering.
A terrifying aura enveloped the inn. Many geniuses walked out of their rooms and looked at Qin Chenâs residence. When they knew that it was the Elder King in the room, they returned to their rooms without any surprise. After all, it was the Elder King who was staying there!
Not long after, the aura gradually receded. Gu Tianhenâs eyes flew open. One of them turned black while the other was golden. It was a shocking sight.
In just an instant, Gu Tianhen returned to normal and his terrifying aura completely disappeared.
âItâs indeed the God-demon Imperial Sutra!â Gu Tianhen exclaimed then gave Qin Chen a deep bow and said, âI canât thank you enough. Iâll definitely accomplish what youâve asked me to do.
âPlease do!â Qin Chen nodded his head.
After giving a simple reply, Gu Tianhen left the room. Everything returned to normal as if nothing had happened.
The night was peaceful. The next morning, Tianxia City was bustling with noise and excitement.
The taverns and streets were filled with talents who were preparing for the selection with all their might. Everyone was brimming with a strong fighting spirit, and they were all determined to pass the Heavenly Dao Mansionâs selection and head to Chiyang Heaven.
Dao Ming appeared in the sky as soon as it was seven o âclock. He looked at the crowd and threw out 20 beads that contained dense spatial power. He said in a deep voice, âThe spatial pearls will be open for half a day, and after that, you can only leave and not enter. In the end, whoever can stay alone in the spatial pearls will be able to go to Chiyang Heaven and join the Heavenly Dao Mansion.â
âWhat is a spatial pearl? Is it very precious?â
âThese spatial pearls contain an alternate dimension that is a few hundred square meters. They are also enhanced by God realm experts. Not only can living beings enter, but they can also fight in there. They are treasures that only exist in legends.â
âTo think they are using such a treasure as the arena. The Heavenly Dao Mansion is really generous!â
âThe spatial pearls will be open for half a day, which means that if we want to go to Chiyang Heaven, we have to stay in the spatial bead for at least half a day. If thatâs the case, then as long as the timing is right, we might have a chance.â
The talents were extremely excited. Some were shocked by the Heavenly Dao Mansionâs generosity, while others were calculating when they should enter the pearls.
âI announce that the selection of the ten landsâ geniuses has officially begun!â Dao Ming shouted. As soon as he finished speaking, more than thirty people jumped and entered a spatial pearl together. With a flash of golden light, the scene inside the spatial pearl appeared in mid-air.
After entering the spatial Pearl, these people did not start a fight. Instead, they formed a great killing array. The killing array was so powerful that even a Supreme Sage expert would have to retreat in fear.
âWhat are they doing? Are they going to join forces?â
âThose people seem to have come to the Jialuo continent. It seems that they want to send one genius of the Jialuo Continent to the Heavenly Dao Mansion at all costs.â
âThatâs cheating. Isnât it against the rules?â
âElder Dao Ming didnât say anything, so it seems that they didnât break the rules. Is there anyone willing to form a team with me? After we occupy the spatial pearl, weâll fight based on our own abilities. What do you think?â
âIâm willing!â
âIâm also willing!â
â¦
With the people from the Jialuo Continent taking the lead, the others fought to follow suit. In just a moment, the twenty spatial pearls were occupied by hundreds of talents.
