THE SUPREME MARTIAL KING SHOCKING ALL REALMS

Chapter 967: Chapter 964: Are You Not Taking Me Seriously?_1

Thinking of the Dao Discussion Conference, Yang Chen knew without thinking that the stronger his strength, the more advantageous he would be in participating. And now, the best way to improve his strength was the Trial Tower.

However, he did not understand the situation in Changfeng County, which had three major forces – the Demon Slaying Branch, the Donghuang Sect, and the Huangdao Sect. But no one knew the strength and weakness of the forces in Long Wind Main City.

Historically, only the main city forces had access to the Trial Tower, which was a rule set by the Royal Family to consolidate their position.

Hearing Yang Chen’s question, Zhou Qing thought for a moment and said, “Sect Leader, Long Wind Main City may not be strong, but behind them is the tremendous force of the Huangdao Sect. It’s obviously impossible to forcibly enter Long Wind Main City and borrow the Trial Tower from them!”

“Oh? What should we do then?” Yang Chen asked in confusion.

“Sect Leader, if you really want to break into the Trial Tower, there must be a way. The Trial Tower in Long Wind Main City is actually open to the public, but the conditions to borrow it are quite high,” Zhou Qing said.

Yang Chen asked, “What’s the deal? What price do we have to pay to enter the Trial Tower?”

“Well, famous forces may be charged a lower price. But for small forces like us, I guess the cost for entering once would be at least a thousand top-grade spirit stones, if not more!” Zhou Qing sighed bitterly, apparently having suffered a loss at the hands of the Trial Tower.

Yang Chen widened his eyes in shock, “What, why doesn’t Long Wind Main City just rob people outright?”

“Actually, it’s not Long Wind Main City’s fault. The city has long been turned into a tool for the Huangdao Sect to make money using the Trial Tower,” Zhou Qing shook his head. “If it were up to the personal power of Long Wind Main City alone, they wouldn’t dare to charge such a high price. The reason for the exorbitant price is that the Huangdao Sect controls it from behind. As long as the Huangdao Sect is in charge, who dares to question the pricing of the Trial Tower in Changfeng County?”

Yang Chen felt helpless, and the Huangdao Sect really knew how to do business, making money by exploiting the Trial Tower…

The most crucial issue was that the Emperor was too far away to control such things, and as long as no one wiped out the main city forces, it was unlikely that the Royal Family would step in to speak up.

“Are there any other ways?” Yang Chen asked.

Although he didn’t care about the Spirit Stones, if there was another way, he wouldn’t want to waste his money on this injustice.

“The only other option would be to go to other counties, but even if we go to another county, it might not be smooth sailing. Moreover, it would definitely take a long time, at least two or three months back and forth,” Zhou Qing said, lowering his voice. “The key is, if we leave now and go too far away, Fu Yunhe will definitely not stay put within the sect.”

Hearing this, Yang Chen rubbed his eyebrows, “That’s true, in that case, we can only go to Long Wind Main City and just swallow this loss.”

“There’s nothing we can do about it now,” Zhou Qing said. “When does the Sect Leader plan to leave?”

“One month later. For this month, we have to trouble you to keep a close eye on Fu Yunhe. He must not be willing to give up easily, and many powers are still in his hands, so we cannot let our guard down,” Yang Chen said.

“Sect Leader, I understand,” Zhou Qing asked. “What about the Sect Leader during this month… ”

“I am going to break through to the 8th Layer of the True Martial Realm,” Yang Chen said, then directly entered the courtyard, “I will be in closed-door cultivation for this month!”

Hearing Yang Chen’s words, Zhou Qing’s face suddenly changed. Yang Chen was actually going to enter the 8th Layer of the True Martial Realm.

This was simply too incredible.

His current strength at the Seventh Layer of the True Martial Realm was already enough to astonish people, but now? Yang Chen was about to make a leap and break through to the Eighth Layer of the True Martial Realm.

Indeed, Yang Chen had already felt that his strength had reached a bottleneck and showed signs of breaking through. It happened so quickly because of his daily meditation combined with Elixir cultivation.

At each stage, he would concoct many Elixirs that helped to increase his strength. These Elixirs were not meant to directly enhance his strength, but rather to aid him gradually.

Of course, he also had a reserve of Elixirs that directly increased his strength.

For example, the Yuanhe Liuyun Pill, which could unconditionally increase the strength of the True Martial Realm by one Layer.

“During this closed-door cultivation, I’ll first reach the 8th Layer of the True Martial Realm, then use the Yuanhe Liuyun Pill to unconditionally raise my strength by one Layer, and enter the Ninth Layer of the True Martial Realm,” Yang Chen thought to himself.

He had been prepared for this for a long time.

Yang Chen quickly entered a closed-door state.

It took almost a month for the closed-door state to end.

As Yang Chen had estimated, he spent a total of more than 20 days successfully entering the Eighth Layer of the True Martial Realm. Immediately afterward, Yang Chen consolidated his strength and refined the Yuanhe Liuyun Pill to attack the Ninth Layer of the True Martial Realm.

With the help of the Yuanhe Liuyun Pill, Yang Chen’s strength advanced rapidly, and he reached the Ninth Layer of the True Martial Realm by force.

As Yang Chen had thought before, he originally planned to reach the Half-Step Earth Martial Realm and then challenge the Trial Tower. It would have been the most perfect and appropriate time to do so. However, he didn’t have time for that now.

“My True Martial Realm Ninth Layer strength is now completely stabilized, and now it’s time to head to the Trial Tower,” Yang Chen muttered.

…

In the following days, Yang Chen once again convened a sect meeting and called the high-level members of the Luosheng Gate to attend.

At this moment, in the Great Hall of the Luosheng Gate, many high-level members of the Luosheng Gate gathered, including Zhou Qing, Fu Yunhe, and their subordinates.

“Greetings to the Sect Leader!”

“Welcome Sect Leader out of seclusion!”

Fu Yunhe looked at the change in Yang Chen’s martial arts strength and felt a storm rising in his heart. With his strength, it was not difficult for him to judge that Yang Chen’s martial arts cultivation had actually improved once again.

“Does this kid cultivate by drinking water? How come he improves so fast?” Fu Yunhe gritted his teeth, unable to deny Yang Chen’s talent. Not long ago, Yang Chen was still at the Seventh Layer of the True Martial Realm, but now he had reached the Ninth Layer. It was simply incredible.

Yang Chen calmly scanned the room and said coldly, “Elder Zhu, Elder Lu, and Elder Wu, why haven’t they come?”

Fu Yunhe flinched a little when he heard this, as these three were his subordinates. He also didn’t know why they hadn’t come, and originally thought it shouldn’t be a big deal, as everyone tended to be lazy during a sect meeting.

Just like last time when Yang Chen held a sect meeting, many people didn’t show up, but Yang Chen didn’t care at all.

But this time…

Yang Chen slowly said, “Does anyone know why? If no one knows, then we might as well directly convict these three people. In the face of such an important sect meeting, they dare not to come. Do they not have any respect for me as a Sect Leader?”

“There… Sect Leader, they might have had some other matters to attend to,” Fu Yunhe forced himself to say.

“Other matters? Zhou Qing, you go and send someone to check,” Yang Chen said lazily.
