“Such strength. Master Tai is way stronger than the Emissary of the Profound Connection Divine.”
“You’re right. His strength is unpredictable and unimaginable for us. What Master Tai said actually makes sense.”
“Yes. We used to be like a frog in a well and there is a huge difference in strength between the true experts and us.
“Profound Connection Divine Palace will be a great stage to show and cultivate all of our talents. I will definitely become the most dazzling star of this place.”
The talented disciples from the four great counties were eager to accept the challenge. It sounded like the stage was especially designed for them; this was the dream of these geniuses. Being one of the talented disciples of Profound Connection Divine Palace and becoming the most shining star.
After Master Tai left, four powerful experts appeared in the sky, three men and one woman. There was an extraordinarily powerful expert standing behind each Hierarch Realm expert, it seemed like they were the older generation of Profound Connection Divine Palace.
“Disciples from FengDu County, come along with me.”
A young man said in a low voice with a cold face.
“Disciples from Qi Ling County, come here.
“Disciple from Tan County, come over here.”
The last person exclaimed in a deep voice.
“Come with me, disciples from Lone Dragon County.”
The two hundred disciples were divided into four teams, standing in front of the four elders. There were around fifty people in each team.
“From now on, you have to pass our Profound Connection Divine Palace’s test. That is the Lightning-Gathering Peak. Those who could stay there for ten days will be qualified to enter our sect and become a disciple, officially. Well, those who failed to do so can just give up and return to where you belong.”
The only female instructor said softly. She was charming and full of charisma. She had a cold and elegant aura, which made her look unapproachable, unsmiling. Her eyes were also filled with coldness.
Two hundred Divine King Real experts fixed their eyes on the Lightning-Gathering Peak, which was hundreds of miles away. They’re full of doubts and excitement. They would never stop even if there was a mountain of sword and sea of flames ahead. Since they were already here, they’d continue with their goal of earning a position in the Profound Connection Divine Palace and become the center of attention.
“From now on, you will be terminated as soon as you fail to enter Profound Connection Divine Palace.”
The female instructor said coldly, full of charm and power. All of them avoided having direct eye contact with her.
“Instructor, is it possible to wait for other disciples? They are on their way now. It would be a pity if they lost their qualifications like this.”
Gu Maolu said with a worried face and there was a shade of sadness in his eyes. He was standing beside the female instructor. He had returned to Profound Connection Divine Palace a few days ago, but he could not find Jiang Chen amongst the two hundred disciples at the moment.
“Stop telling me what to do.”
The lady said lightly and darted an angry look at Gu Maolu.
Gu Maolu shrank back, he was at a loss for words as he was merely a disciple after all. This was the rule that was set by the Profound Connection Divine Palace; no one was allowed to break it.
But there was only one reason that Jiang Chen returned late, he was killed by Hun Shaoqian.
Gu Maolu was clear about it. There was a slim chance of survival if Jiang Chen decided to fight against Hun Shaoqian. Was it possible for Jiang Chen to escape from Hun Shaoqian? All of these sounded like fascinating fairy tales for Gu Maolu.
“Where is Jiang Chen? I can’t find him here.”
Luo Ping said with a serious expression. There were two hundred of them, but only sixteen of them were from Lone Dragon County. Luo Ping could not help worrying about Jiang Chen when he could not find any traces of him.
“What has happened? There are only sixty disciples from Lone Dragon County who are qualified to enter the Profound Connection Divine Palace, but there are only fifty three people here. Not only Jiang Chen, there are few of them absent. But normally Jiang Chen will not miss this opportunity.”
Mo Shanpao wore a frown on his face. He considered Jiang Chen as his life savior so he was quite anxious and concerned when he found that Jiang Chen did not report himself to the Profound Connection Divine Palace.
“So Jiang Chen did not come along with you guys?”
Luo Ping looked at Donghuang Tai`A and the others. At the same time, three people from the Eastern Emperor Sect, Donghuang Taiji and Murong Yuner had arrived.
“Jiang Chen was not in the Eastern Emperor Sect, we are looking for him too. If he isn’t coming, I guess he’s going to miss out on the admission test of Profound Connection Divine Palace.”
Donghuang Taiji said heavily and shook his head, his voice sounded worried.
“Jiang Chen has disappeared from the Qilian Boundary for ten years. Although I have inquired about him in the palace city lord, I did not manage to obtain any news in the Qilian Boundary.”
Zi Qi shook his head quietly. All of them had a foreboding feeling about Jiang Chen at this moment. If nothing went wrong, Jiang Chen would certainly be here by now.
“I don’t think Jiang Chen will die easily. I believe that he will be here.”
Amo Kehan said under his breath. He was confident about Jiang Chen.
“Brother Kehan, is Brother Jiang coming to the Profound Connection Divine Palace?”
Someone put his hand on Amo Kehan’s shoulder instantly. Amo Kehan turned and looked back, Lu Dong was at his back. They met each other after a long separation.
“What? Do you still remember me? Allow me to introduce myself, I’m Lu Dong from Chang Sheng Boundary! Hahaha.”
Lu Dong and Amo Kehan gave each other a huge bear hug.
“Do you think that Brother Jiang is not eligible enough to enter the Profound Connection Divine Palace when both of us are here? But he is not here yet so we are worrying about his safety.”
Amo Kehan said with a deep sigh.
Lu Dong frowned and looked gloomy.
“What happened to Brother Jiang?”
“I don’t know but I hope he can arrive on time.”
Amo Kehan prayed to god silently. At this moment, everyone from the Qilian Boundary was longing for Jiang Chen as all of them had all kinds of connections with him. Everyone’s face was full of anxiety and sadness.
“When you enter the Profound Connection Divine Palace, the Lighting-Gathering peak will be your starting point. It may be your end point as well.”
Gu Maolu seemed lonely and depressed as he took a glance in the distance. He was unwilling to give up easily and he wished Jiang Chen was not killed by Hun Shaoqian. He was eager to meet Jiang Chen once again.
At this moment, a dark light penetrated through the sky and fell on the gate of the Profound Connection Divine Palace. Gu Maolu’s eyes sparkled with joy immediately.
“I am sorry for coming late.”
Jiang Chen smiled faintly. He had finally caught up with them at the last moment.
“Damn, you’re still alive.”
Gu Maolu could hardly contain his excitement, his eyes were glittering with light. He wondered how Jiang Chen was able to stay alive. Hun Shaoqian was truly a tough opponent, even Yu Chenglong could barely fight against him. How could he escape from him?
“I told you, he will be back.”
Lu Dong’s eyes gleamed with light, a smile plastered his face. The rest of them were looking at Jiang Chen silently.
“Jiang Chen, you’re finally here.”
Donghuang TaiA was looking at him with keen eyes, wearing a pleased smile on his face. He never had a real battle with Jiang Chen. Therefore, he wished to have a great fight with Jiang Chen heartily after he entered the Profound Connection Divine Palace in the future.
