Chapter 137: Thoughts of the Purple House Sacred Ground, Su Tian and Ye Hensheng’s Predicament
Looking at the challenger before them, Su Tian and Ye Hensheng both displayed a hint of excitement in their eyes.
Finally, they could face a challenge on their own!
From the moment they became Heavenly Prodigies, all their accomplishments would be seen by others as expected.
Because in the eyes of others, they possessed the best resources and the best teachers.
Under such advantageous circumstances, achieving the best was simply the most natural outcome.
Yet, they would never know how much bl**d and sweat they had poured into those successes.
But now, no one would look at them that way, for this was the more profound Purple House Sacred Ground.
……
“Boom!”
Su Tian and the others quickly engaged with the challenger, and both sides dove straight into intense combat.
Sipping on a cup of hot tea, Chen Changsheng leisurely watched the scene from afar.
Gongsun Huaiyu and Ziling seemed to have no major problems; although those inner disciples were strong, they still had little chance against top Heavenly Prodigies.
However, the situation was considerably stalemated for Su Tian and his companion.
Though their strength was decent, it wasn’t enough to overpower their opponents.
It was entirely reasonable for those inner disciples to want to step over them to rise to power.
Thinking of this, Chen Changsheng murmured softly, “The Heaven’s Initiative Body Technique and the Punch of Defeating the Immortal Sovereign are both top-notch techniques.”
“If after such a long time, you still can’t grasp the essence of them, perhaps you’re truly not suited for conquering the world.”
After speaking, Chen Changsheng casually pulled out a book and began to read slowly.
With two hours allocated for the challenge, it was still early for Su Tian and the others to finish the fight.
……
At the back mountain of the Purple House Sacred Ground.
An image appeared among the many elders, showcasing Gongsun Huaiyu and others engaged in battle.
“Great talent!”
“To create such an unparalleled technique, this Heavenly Mandate competition will surely have a place for him.”
Watching Gongsun Huaiyu’s performance, the Grand Elder nodded in satisfaction.
At the same time, a longing glimmer appeared in the eyes of the other elders.
With such great potential in a cultivation technique, if they could learn it themselves, it was likely they could advance further from their original foundation.
Advancing in strength would also greatly extend their lifespan!
Thinking this, some elders immediately spoke up, “Grand Elder, the cultivation technique created by the Holy Son is truly exceptional.”
“Should we not assist the Holy Son in perfecting this cultivation technique?”
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder’s face instantly turned cold.
“Put away your little thoughts!”
“If I find out that anyone’s shortsightedness affects Chen Changsheng’s view of the Purple House Sacred Ground…”
“I’ll personally take his head!”
Seeing the Grand Elder become enraged, the elder who had spoken before could only shut his mouth in defeat.
“Everyone, I know that most of you are approaching the issue of lifespan, and I am the same.”
“But desiring to extend one’s life doesn’t mean one should act foolishly.”
“Considering Chen Changsheng’s situation, he will inevitably participate in the competition for the Heavenly Mandate. Once the contest begins, he will require many helpers.”
“At that time, our Purple House Sacred Ground will unavoidably take on this responsibility.”
“Once the competition for the Heavenly Mandate begins, will Chen Henchuan stand idly by and let the Purple House Sacred Ground be seen as second-rate due to inferior cultivation techniques?”
“Also, once someone destined for the Heavenly Mandate bears it, the system of cultivation they practice will spread throughout the world.”
“Will Chen Henchuan allow his helpers to fall behind over a secret that will eventually be revealed?”
“So I advise you all to put aside those foolish ideas.”
Hearing these words, some elders’ gazes became somewhat unfocused.
Because they had just been contemplating how to negotiate with Chen Henchuan to acquire this new cultivation system.
At this moment, a silent elder also spoke up.
“Everyone, perhaps some of you still regard Chen Henchuan as a child.”
“But I advise you strongly against such thoughts.”
“From these days of contact, Gongsun Huaiyu and the others have demonstrated their unwavering loyalty to Chen Henchuan.”
“To put it more plainly, Gongsun Huaiyu and the others’ cultivation has been guided by Chen Henchuan.”
“As elders in the cultivation world, you can see their strengths.”
“Honestly, do you have full confidence to guide these three youths?”
“The things you cannot do, Chen Henchuan has already achieved, which confirms that his strength has surpassed many of us.”
“In the cultivation world, strength is revered. If you rely on your seniority, Chen Henchuan may not give you face.”
“There are some matters that require careful consideration!”
The Grand Elder and the elder’s successive admonitions caused many to abandon their small schemes.
“Elder, while that may be the case, what about the Third Elder and the Fifth Elder?”
“They have always been the main fighters and are very adamant about the stance on the Seventy Wolf Smoke.”
“Once the matter of the not turning to bones is resolved, conflicts between Chen Henchuan and them may arise!”
Hearing this, the elder stroked his beard and smiled, “It’s perfectly normal for conflicts to arise.”
“The Mad Dragon Fortress is Chen Henchuan’s test for the Purple House Disciples, while the Third Elder and Fifth Elder are tests from the Purple House Sacred Ground for Chen Henchuan.”
“If he can’t handle those two old bones, then Chen Henchuan isn’t qualified to receive our Purple House Sacred Ground’s full support.”
“I love that saying, ‘Wolves travel thousands of miles for meat, dogs travel thousands of miles for dung.’ You’ll know soon enough if he’s a wolf or a dog.”
“This unchanging rule has lasted too long, and I’m quite eager to see what trouble these youths will stir up.”
“Or rather, I’d like to see if Chen Henchuan can turn the entire Central Courtyard upside down!”
After speaking, the elder looked at the calm Chen Henchuan in the image with a smile.
This time, the Holy Lord seemed to have truly brought back a rare gem for the Purple House Sacred Ground!
……
Outside the Heaven’s Mechanism Pavilion.
Gongsun Huaiyu and Ziling had already swiftly defeated their challengers, yet Su Tian and Ye Henchuan remained locked in a tough struggle.
There was no helping it; the number of challengers facing Su Tian and Ye Henchuan was simply too many.
In the midst of the brutal battle, the observing Gongsun Huaiyu remarked, “Wretched woman, do you think Su Tian and them will lose?”
Hearing Gongsun Huaiyu’s address, Ziling rolled her eyes and replied.
“Little thief, you should be a bit more polite, or I’ll detain you and make you bear ten or eight children.”
“Though I admire Ye Henchuan and Su Tian, their defeat is already set.”
“My Purple House Sacred Ground’s inner disciples are not like those useless drunks outside.”
“Even in one-on-one combat, they might not win, let alone in a wheel battle.”
“The reason they’re still holding on is that the top experts among the inner disciples have yet to enter the fray.”
“If they were to lose both at once, it would certainly diminish Chen Henchuan’s face.”
