Zhao Ziyi dared not make any small moves in front of the Nascent Soul cultivator. He transmitted his voice to Song Chen:
"Song Chen, look! Mu Feng and Li Wantian, they're over there!"
Song Chen's expression remained unchanged. "Don't make any rash moves. Let me ask Pei Yuan."
Song Chen looked at Pei Yuan, his expression slightly surprised:
"Dean Pei, why did you suddenly bring Ziyi and me to Zhuoyangchuan?"
Pei Yuan put the two down, put his hands behind his back, and smiled broadly.
"Haha, this is great news. There was no time to notify you, so I brought you two here first."
Do you know what the best reward is in the Celestial Realm Grand Competition?
Song Chen smiled frankly, "Of course I know. Ziyi and I both won the first place prize in the competition."
Pei Yuan's smile became somewhat mysterious:
"The best reward is not an item, but the opportunity to enter the Path of the Rising Dragon."
Ascending Dragon Path?
Song Chen was slightly puzzled.
Pei Yuan observed carefully, and after a while, he breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he didn't know.
"The Ascending Dragon Path is a small secret realm that opens once every 50 years. Only the top five cultivators in the Immortal Realm Grand Competition are qualified to enter."
Within the secret realm, the spiritual energy is abundant, and treasures abound.
The spiritual plants, treasures, springs, and beasts accumulated over 50 years are all waiting for you.
Pei Yuan vividly described the scene of treasures everywhere in the Ascending Dragon Path.
Seeing that Song Chen and the other man still had some doubts, Pei Yuan pointed three fingers to the sky and swore:
"I can guarantee that once you enter the Ascending Dragon Path, you will have the opportunity to advance to the Nascent Soul stage."
All Nascent Soul cultivators on the Tianyan Continent originated from the Ascending Dragon Path.
Upon seeing Pei Yuan make the vow, Song Chen's expression finally changed, from solemn to joyful.
"Dean Pei! Is there really a chance to advance to the Nascent Soul stage?"
Pei Yuan nodded and promised:
"Of course, once you return from Rising Dragon Path, you can take over my position."
"Then, the entire Fairy River Garden will belong to both of you!"
Hearing Pei Yuan's words, Song Chen sneered inwardly. After so much buildup, it's time to state the demands, isn't it?
Pei Yuan smiled and said:
"Soon, you will be able to enter the Great Secret Realm of the Ascending Dragon Path."
When you are teleported, do not resist it in your mind to avoid getting hurt.
And keep this safe; I prepared this for you myself.
Pei Yuan took out two jade tokens and handed them to the two of them.
"These two jade tablets contain one of my attack techniques. If you encounter a cultivator below the Nascent Soul stage, the jade tablets can save your life. You can use them when your life or death is at stake."
Song Chen happily accepted the jade pendant and gave one to Zhao Ziyi.
"Thank you, Dean Pei. I never expected you to be so willing to give me such a treasure!"
Seeing the two accept the jade tokens, Pei Yuan smiled broadly, his face crinkling with wrinkles.
Song Chen hung the jade pendant on his waist, then frowned deeply.
"Dean Pei, I left in such a hurry that I left many things in the cave and didn't have time to take them with me."
Look, I'm about to enter the secret realm. I won't feel at ease without something handy.
Perhaps this jade token will shatter as soon as we enter the secret realm.
Upon hearing this, Pei Yuan's gaze fell upon Song Chen's waist.
There was a whole bunch of storage bags hanging there, how could I not have brought enough!
But upon hearing that the jade pendant was about to shatter, Pei Yuan gritted his teeth and said:
"What are you missing? I'll get it for you."
Song Chen didn't stand on ceremony, muttering to himself:
"Weapon refining furnace, alchemy furnace, talisman brush, dozens of rare spiritual herbs, rare minerals..."
"Hehe, Dean Pei, as you know, my cultivation is rather eclectic, requiring many things."
Song Chen recited every single one of the treasures that he could name.
Pei Yuan rummaged through the storage bags with a pained expression, but finally, frustrated, he simply tore off two storage bags and handed them to him.
Pei Yuan said irritably:
"Here are the supplies I've collected. Take a look and see which ones you can use."
"This jade pendant is so precious; it must not be used unless absolutely necessary!"
Song Chen smiled憨厚ly, took the storage bag, and hung it on his waist without even looking at it.
"Thank you, Dean Pei. I've studied a variety of subjects, and I'll find them all useful."
Rest assured, the jade pendant will not break unless absolutely necessary!
Pei Yuan was extremely annoyed by this and waved his hands, "Alright, alright, I'm going to walk around for a bit and I'll be back in a bit."
He saw Pei Yuan turn and leave.
Song Chen's expression remained unchanged.
In his mind, he was communicating telepathically with Zhao Ziyi, their conversation flowing rapidly.
Zhao Ziyi said excitedly:
"I've recorded it all, and I'll send it to my master in a bit! There's definitely something strange about this Ascending Dragon Path and the jade tablet!"
Upon hearing this, Song Chen's fingertips twitched slightly, and three swift eyes instantly appeared in Song Chen's palm.
"Let's try the new stone bee."
Don't alert the enemy. First, send the recording stone out of Zhuoyangchuan, and then use the transmission talisman.
The two secretly released three stone bees.
He put the recording stone into his storage bag and hung it on the stone bee.
"Xiao Shi, tell Xun Jie Yi Mu that after leaving the great formation of Zhuoyangchuan, ignite the talisman on the storage bag."
Under the command of Queen Bee Stone, Swift Eyes set off quickly.
The speed of a swift glance is indeed fast.
Song Chen and his companion watched the stone bee disappear into the distance, and within three seconds, the stone bee was no longer in sight.
Zhao Ziyi pondered:
"Although there are strange things about the Ascending Dragon Path, since Mu Feng is also here, there must be a glimmer of hope, and it's not a hopeless situation."
We enter the Rising Dragon Path; proceed with caution.
Song Chen patted the storage bag and smiled:
"Perhaps the Ascending Dragon Path is the reason why genius cultivators have disappeared."
Although Pei Yuan tricked us, we still received compensation. Once we enter the Ascending Dragon Path, we'll refine pills for you to eat.
Zhao Ziyi smiled and put his arm around Song Chen's arm.
The road ahead is unclear.
But with Song Chen by his side, he was fearless in the face of any difficulties.
"Hmph, flirting in public, how unlucky!"
An annoying voice came from behind.
Zhao Ziyi looked up and saw Li Wantian and Mu Feng.
Faced with the provocation, Zhao Ziyi was not angry, but instead smiled and said:
“We are a legal couple, what’s it to you?”
"Want to go to Lin's Auction House, Mu Feng? Let's browse around together?" He still wanted to find a bargain!
Mu Feng sneered:
"Lin's Auction House?"
Lin's Auction House closed down half a month ago.
Now, it should be called the Ten Thousand Swords Auction House!
"Closed down?" Zhao Ziyi asked, puzzled. "It just changed owners, why is it closed?"
Li Wantian looked at Song Chen arrogantly and said:
"After the Immortal Realm Grand Competition ended, several forces fought outside Zhuoyang River."
All 31 Nascent Soul cultivators, over 200 Golden Core cultivators, and over 200 Foundation Establishment cultivators perished.
The Lin family was among them; with so many cultivators dead, they naturally closed their gates.
Hearing this, Song Chen rubbed his chin and asked in return:
"Are Langya Academy and Wanjian Manor also involved in the conflict?"
Li Wantian choked, "Of course I participated. Mu Feng and I were the only two winners."
Zhao Ziyi frowned, thinking of the tragic case of the Huang family in Lingnan in the original novel.
He transmitted his voice:
"Those two are really ruthless!"
In the original story, they massacred the Huang family of Lingnan, which I thought was for the Huang family's treasures.
Unexpectedly, they were only after murder!
Even if the Huang family of Lingnan is not destroyed, other innocent people will die.
I wish I had told them sooner!
Perhaps if I offered a word or two of guidance, they could avoid their deaths.
Song Chen put his arm around Zhao Ziyi's shoulder, unsure of what to say.
He awkwardly tried to comfort her:
"This is not your fault, because you did not do this, and we could not have predicted how things would turn out."
You have done enough.
If anyone's to blame, it's Li Wantian and Mu Feng!
Song Chen turned to look at Li Wantian, his eyes cold and ruthless.
"Get lost. In the Rising Dragon Path, I will show no mercy."
Li Wantian sneered:
"Alright, I won't hold back either. We'll see who dies first!"
