He decided to skip the study altogether and simply move into the Sword Origin Secret Realm.
A week later, Liu Shenjun successfully advanced to the early stage of the eighth star, but Bu Xiaosa still did not return.
"Still no news from Lao Bu?"
"Brother Divine Lord, not yet..."
Xiao Dai was also somewhat worried about Bu Xiaosa's situation.
"Oh, what about Senior Zhutianming?"
"No... but he's not trapped anywhere, I can still find him using GPS."
But for some reason, he hasn't replied to us.
Okay, we can't get in touch with either of them, so what's next?
"Oh, by the way, where's Lang'er? Surely we can get in touch with him."
"Yes, Brother Liu Lang just sent a message last night saying that he is learning woodworking techniques from Grandpa Hua Beishang while assisting the old man in writing the Divine Forging Manual."
Everything is going smoothly so far.
"Busy, everyone's busy, it's good to be busy."
Liu Shenjun pretended to be old, which amused Xiao Dai.
Knock knock knock~!
"Brother Divine Lord! Are you alright yet? We need to get going!"
"Here we are! Where do we meet?"
"Sect Master's Hall!"
The voice of Chu Tianci, a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, came from outside. He was one of the personal disciples of Uncle Lan Jiyang and also one of the participants in the Central Continent Grand Competition.
His strength is at the peak of the six-star level, and his age is exactly forty.
What?
A six-star peak age of forty? Is that bad?
This was Liu Shenjun's first reaction, but when he complained to Xiao Dai later, Xiao Dai also complained back.
“Brother Shenjun, it’s the same even in our world. Dragon God University is a gathering of the best of the best in the entire Central Plains Safe Zone. Haven’t we seen the soldiers in the military region with our own eyes?”
Many of them only reach four or five stars at most; only a minority will be able to advance to six or seven stars.
After Xiao Dai's reminder, Liu Shenjun suddenly realized that it wasn't that Chu Tianci and the others were bad, but rather that Liu Shenjun usually only interacted with geniuses, and most battles between geniuses were battles between people of different levels, so he had made some assumptions.
"If the Central Plains Grand Competition is all at this level, then Lao Bu was right again."
Liu Shenjun could already imagine the boring days that would follow.
Xiao Dai, acting as a cheerleader, accompanied Liu Shenjun to the main hall of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Lan Jiyang, the sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect, who had not been seen for many days, still looked as radiant as ever and seemed to be in a very good mood. However, he was taken aback when he saw Liu Shenjun flying over from afar on his sword, but then his mood improved even more.
"Eight stars."
Lan Jiyang mouthed, "Isn't this a bit like a dimensional reduction attack?"
Even Dao Sansheng, the eldest disciple of the sect leader of the strongest sect in the world, the Three Extremes Dao Sect, was only at the mid-stage of the Seven Stars realm.
Of course, who among geniuses can't fight beyond their level? However, after Lan Jiyang's verification, it's clear that Liu Shenjun's ability to fight beyond his level is even more extraordinary, because when he was at the peak of the Seven Stars level, he could hold his own against a Nine Star.
Now that he's at eight stars, I'm afraid even most nine-star ability users would suffer at his hands.
"I won't repeat my words to boost morale a second time, I'm sure everyone is already impatient."
Let the elders, including Tanaka, lead you to the Central State Military Region, the place where the Central State Grand Tournament is held.
Before I leave, I'd like to remind you of one last thing.
There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding.
Don't think you're unique. Losing isn't shameful; just show your own style!
Next time, we'll fight back fiercely! The one who laughs last laughs best, understand?
"Understood!!!"
"Alright! Elder Tanaka, I'll leave this to you."
Lan Jiyang also had an important meeting, which was initiated by the Central State Military Region, but the location was at the Three Extremes Dao Sect.
Therefore, not only the disciples participating in the Central Plains Grand Competition had to set off, but he also had to embark on his journey.
However, because their directions are different, they will not travel together.
"All disciples, draw your swords!"
Under Elder Tanaka's command, the disciples participating in the competition also displayed their sword control techniques.
Unlike most other sects, they don't need to set off in advance. They can simply fly on their swords and arrive at the Central State Military Region in just one hour.
"It's a truly despairing state."
Tanaka looked at Liu Shenjun with a wry smile, while Liu Shenjun's flying sword carried three people.
They are Xiao Dai, Cheng Mu, and Cheng Bai.
That's right. The Cheng sisters are going to participate in the Central Plains Grand Competition for 25-year-olds. They are also three-star peak and four-star early stage ability users. The older sister, Cheng Mu, is stronger than the younger sister, Cheng Bai.
"So beautiful!"
It was rare for Liu Shenjun to not use the teleportation array, but instead flew forward on his sword. When he saw the green mountains and the vast sea of forests below the clouds, he couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
"The landscape is splashed with ink, but it is nothing more than the creation of the heavens."
On this journey, amidst this scenery, one can appreciate half of the beauty and charm of the world.
"In that case, it must be a blessing from heaven!"
