CHAPTER 852: CHAPTER 852: TONGTIAN MOUNTAIN RANGE

The Green Robed Man laughed, "Young Master Ling, you cultivate in the Sword Dao. Our Sky Sword Pavilion is truly the place suited for you."

"Our Nine Cauldrons Heavenly Sect is also suitable for you!"

"Our Ten Thousand Destruction Heavenly Pavilion is the right fit for you!"

...

Voices came forth from the mouths of the eight Emperors.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Just now, the solemn Emperors had started to vie for Ling Chen, hadn’t they?

A quasi-Emperor!

In the future, he would surely become an Emperor!

Yet, other geniuses who hadn’t reached the quasi-Emperor realm might not be able to.

There’s only a fine line between a Sovereign and an Emperor.

But it cuts off the hopes of countless Sovereigns.

Even geniuses who cannot step into the Emperor Realm in their entire life are not uncommon in Central Province.

Without becoming an Emperor, all is in vain.

In the Eight Heavenly Sects, only by becoming an Emperor can one truly be part of the sect.

Though there are Sovereign cultivators in the Eight Heavenly Sects,

these individuals all belong to the outer sect.

Only by becoming a quasi-Emperor can one truly enter the sect.

Ling Chen also let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he didn’t have to express his stance immediately.

Otherwise, he would have offended people.

"Alright, stop arguing. Once we have clearly introduced the situation of the various Heavenly Sects, Young Master Ling will naturally make his choice. Let’s not waste time now."

The red-clad woman spoke.

This finally interrupted the quarrel among the crowd.

After the welcoming feast, after a night’s rest, the eight Heavenly Sect Envoys would take the geniuses and leave Qing Province.

Therefore, the geniuses hurried back to make some arrangements.

It was easier for Xiao Qing, who could enter Central Province with Ling Chen in the guise of being his spirit beast.

However, even Ling Tianxing couldn’t enter Central Province.

Their mother should be from the Green Lotus Ancient Clan.

The Green Lotus Ancient Clan is also in Central Province.

Even if Ling Chen finds his mother, they can’t reunite as a family.

Moreover, the key point is that Ling Chen has never met his mother and doesn’t recognize her.

Without his father, even if his mother stood in front of him, he might not recognize her.

"Father, wait here first. When I become an Emperor Realm expert, I’ll come back for you."

Ling Chen said.

Ling Tianxing smiled and nodded, "Alright. Chen Er, go forth with confidence!"

Ling Chen earned the title of the top genius in Qing Province.

Which instilled great confidence in Ling Tianxing about Ling Chen.

"Mhm."

Ling Chen nodded, "While I’m gone, you can stay at the Jiang Residence. I’ve already arranged everything."

Jiang Lan would also head to Central Province.

Jiang Bufan had requested Ling Chen to look after him.

Living at the Jiang Residence, Jiang Bufan would be too delighted to refuse.

"Mhm."

Ling Tianxing nodded.

After a while, Ling Tianxing took out a scroll.

On it was a portrait of an unmatched beauty.

"Chen Er, this is your mother. I wonder if, after so many years, she still remains. When you journey through Central Province, keep an eye out. Her only attachment when she left was you!"

Ling Tianxing said.

Ling Chen accepted it, earnestly stating, "Father, rest assured, if Mother is still around, I will ensure our family reunites."

Though his father didn’t say it, Ling Chen could feel his father’s affection for his mother.

The next day.

Ling Chen and ninety-nine other geniuses gathered at the State Governor Mansion.

Mu Qing had long reported the matters regarding Mu Qingzhou to Su Ye.

Su Ye understood as well.

After all, forcing a genius with limited longevity into Central Province would be futile.

Of course, missing this chance significantly dimmed Mu Qingzhou’s hope of joining the Eight Heavenly Sects.

But, it was unavoidable.

Ultimately, Mu Qingzhou’s life was more important.

As long as he breaks through to the Emperor Realm, even without joining the Eight Heavenly Sects, he could still make a name for himself in Central Province in the future.

"Everyone, board the boat!"

Su Ye called out.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."

Sounds of the wind breaking arose as the geniuses swiftly boarded the Void Sky Flying Boat.

The Void Sky Flying Boat was over a hundred zhang long.

The inside was a world of its own.

Incredibly spacious.

Accommodating ninety-nine geniuses was hardly an issue.

Each genius had a very comfortable resting area.

"Farewell, State Governor!"

Su Ye and the other seven slightly cupped their hands towards Mu Qing, disappearing into the sky.

The Void Sky Flying Boat powered up, flying into the void.

"Farewell, Heavenly Sect Envoys!"

Mu Qing and the other high-ranking individuals bid a loud farewell.

...

In the void.

A black flying boat slowly moved along.

The Void Sky Flying Boat was crafted from special materials.

And it had a Spirit Array set up on it.

Capable of withstanding the onslaught of Void Power.

Of course, compared to Emperor Realm experts traversing the void, such a massive object is hundreds of times slower.

Nevertheless, everyone was unhurried.

They advanced by riding the Void Sky Flying Boat.

Time slowly slipped by.

In the blink of an eye, two months passed.

During this time, Su Ye and the other eight Emperors informed Ling Chen and the other geniuses about the Eight Great Sects and matters of Central Province.

Providing the geniuses with a preliminary understanding of the Eight Heavenly Sects.

For instance, the Taixuan Immortal Sect was the only sect focusing on cultivating the Divine Soul.

For example, the Flower Immortal Sect was a sect solely for female cultivators.

Ling Chen also inquired about the Green Lotus Ancient Clan.

Thus, he learned much about the Green Lotus Ancient Clan.

He was definitely planning to visit the Green Lotus Ancient Clan.

Not only for the latter three forms of the Green Lotus Sword Manual but also to find clues about his mother.

Three days later.

"We have arrived!"

Su Ye reappeared.

At this moment, the Void Sky Flying Boat hovered above a mountain range.

The Heaven-reaching Mountain Range.

This was the destination.

The geniuses selected from the eight provinces were set to compete in the next trial here, only the top hundred would gain the right to enter the Eight Heavenly Sects.

The others would need to seek out other sects themselves.

Of course, the top three from the Eight Provinces Genius Rankings would be admitted without the trial.

They could directly choose which sect to join.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."

Streaks of light darted out from the Void Sky Flying Boat.

"So this is Central Province?"

The geniuses were extremely excited.

The Spiritual Energy in the air was so pure.

Its quality even exceeded that of high-grade Spirit Crystals.

Such was the foundation of Central Province!

This was why countless cultivators longed for Central Province!

Training here accelerated cultivation speed far beyond other places.

Ling Chen’s eyes were also full of excitement.

"Everyone, follow me!"

Su Ye called out.

And then he flew toward a Cloud-Entering Mountain Peak not far away.

The Heaven-reaching Peak.

The tallest peak of the Heaven-reaching Mountain Range.

"The geniuses from Qing Province have arrived!"

Su Ye announced loudly.

He then landed atop Heaven-reaching Peak.

The summit of Heaven-reaching Peak was a vast platform.

Currently, many cultivators had already gathered on the peak.

"Brother Su, you’ve finally arrived!"

A man in a black robe laughed.

The others also laughed heartily.

"Couldn’t be helped, Qing Province is the farthest from here!"

Su Ye laughed.

Ling Chen looked around.

Soon enough, he naturally noticed the other cultivators.

The geniuses from the other seven provinces had already arrived.

In front of each group of geniuses stood seven Emperor Realm experts.

Every province’s geniuses were gathered together, distinctly divided.

In front of the geniuses stood seven Emperor Realm experts.

Among them stood a familiar figure.

"Yun Shang!"

Ling Chen’s face lit up with excitement.
