CHAPTER 857: CHAPTER 857: ENTERING THE PAVILION

However, Ling Chen’s expression remained remarkably calm.

"Showing off in front of an expert!"

Ling Chen let out a cold laugh.

In the past, it was always him using this technique, striking terror into the hearts of his enemies.

And now, he was to face such an attack?

"Isn’t it just Green Lotus Dragon Transformation?"

Ling Chen’s lips curled as a black longsword appeared in his hand.

Since he realized the value of the Mystic Sword, he rarely used it anymore.

Besides, any eleven-star emperor was unworthy of him using the Mystic Sword.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

One after another, beams of blue Green Lotus Sword Qi shot out, instantly filling the space spanning dozens of feet before him.

Soon after, the Green Lotus Sword Qi swiftly surged out, coalescing into a blue giant dragon.

"Is this also the Green Lotus Dragon Transformation?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

A guy participating in the Immortal Platform event actually displayed the Green Lotus Sword Manual?

And it was the sixth form?

Then why did this guy even bother to participate when he already mastered the Green Lotus Sword Manual?

For most cultivators, joining the Immortal Platform event was for the Green Lotus Sword Manual.

Especially the sixth form, Green Lotus Dragon Transformation.

Because this form surpassed top-grade Emperor Spirit Techniques!

Mastering this technique would notably enhance one’s strength.

Moreover, for most cultivators, the Emperor Realm was completely out of reach.

Even in Central State, most cultivators stopped at the Emperor Realm.

"How is this possible?"

Li Changtian was utterly bewildered.

A cultivator who had mastered the Green Lotus Sword Manual joined the Immortal Platform event; it defied logic!

Zhou Long was equally baffled.

He could discern that this was Ling Chen’s first time here.

But who could have known that Ling Chen could even execute the sixth form?

"It seems this kid has a powerful background!"

Li Changtian quickly came to his senses.

Besides the Immortal Platform event, some powerful individuals were also willing to spend a fortune to purchase the Transmission Technique Wall of the Green Lotus Ancient Clan.

As long as they displayed sufficient talent in sword Dao, they could obtain the first six forms of the Green Lotus Sword Manual.

Ling Chen had never participated in the Immortal Platform event, yet he mastered Green Lotus Dragon Transformation; there was no other possibility!

"So what if you’ve mastered the Green Lotus Sword Manual?"

Li Changtian sneered.

He used the Green Lotus Bloodline, albeit only a third-rate one, but it was definitely not something Ling Chen could withstand.

"Boom!"

At this moment, two giant dragons collided fiercely in the air and then engaged in a brutal fight.

Moments later.

An astonishing scene unfolded.

The blue giant dragon gained the upper hand, shredding the cyan-red giant dragon into pieces.

"What?!"

Everyone was stunned, their eyes nearly popping out.

Someone from the Green Lotus Ancient Clan using the Green Lotus Sword Manual was surpassed by an outsider?

Moreover, Li Changtian clearly used the Green Lotus Bloodline!

"No, no, this is impossible!"

Li Changtian shook his head frantically, disbelief filling his eyes.

As a proud member of the Green Lotus Ancient Clan, how could he lose to an outsider?

Especially in their clan’s most prized Green Lotus Sword Manual?

"Li Changtian, it looks like your room is mine now!"

Ling Chen smiled slightly.

The blue giant dragon instantly flew towards Li Changtian.

He had just used a peak-level sword Dao.

Meanwhile, Li Changtian was only at a proficient level; how could he be Ling Chen’s match?

Furthermore, Ling Chen secretly used Heaven and Earth Power to obscure the attack’s power.

This led to this inconceivable scene!

"Boom!"

The blue giant dragon slammed into Li Changtian hard.

"Puff!"

Li Changtian was sent flying dozens of feet, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Due to using the Green Lotus Bloodline, Li Changtian’s attack neutralized most of Ling Chen’s offense.

The remaining attack landed on Li Changtian without causing much harm.

"I don’t believe it!"

Li Changtian wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth, glaring coldly at Ling Chen.

Among emperors of the same level, he had nearly never fallen behind.

Now, even with the Green Lotus Bloodline, he lost to Ling Chen; it was truly frustrating!

"Whoosh!"

Li Changtian moved, charging towards Ling Chen.

"You’re not his opponent!"

At that moment, a figure appeared out of nowhere, blocking Li Changtian.

"An Emperor Realm expert!"

Ling Chen’s eyes narrowed.

Everyone felt their breath catch.

"Token, come!"

A grey-robed elder beckoned, and a Lotus Token flew from Li Changtian towards Ling Chen, eventually hovering in front of him.

"Young man, you’re quite impressive. Spare them a little!"

The grey-robed elder laughed.

"Yes."

Ling Chen nodded, then took the Lotus Token.

He had just used Heaven and Earth Power, which naturally couldn’t escape the perception of a true Emperor Realm expert.

Ling Chen, having mastered Heaven and Earth Power, dealing with emperors was essentially bullying!

Of course, this "power" referred to the very fabric of this world.

"Elder of the clan!"

Li Changtian was indignant.

His elder didn’t help him but instead aided someone else to humiliate him?

Saying Ling Chen was bullying him wasn’t a humiliation?

Though he had lost to Ling Chen, it wasn’t to the point of being vulnerable.

How could that be considered bullying?

At most, it was him narrowly losing!

"Alright, you know our clan’s rules. I didn’t punish you for bullying with imperial might, which is already lenient. If you continue to be unreasonable, don’t blame me for stripping you of your Immortal Platform event qualifications."

The elder looked at Li Changtian.

Upon hearing this, Li Changtian didn’t dare to speak further.

After all, he was an emperor.

In front of an emperor, he was nothing.

Unless he entered the inner clan, he would barely have the qualification to confront an Emperor Realm expert.

If stripped of the Immortal Platform event qualification, he would have no hope of joining the inner clan within ten years.

"Your room is number twelve, go in!"

The elder looked at Ling Chen, immediately softening his tone.

"Thank you!"

Ling Chen nodded.

People like Li Changtian, the bad apples, were ultimately just a minority.

The elders of the Green Lotus Ancient Clan were still quite commendable.

"Brother Zhou, shall we go?"

Ling Chen smiled slightly at Zhou Long beside him.

"Ah? Yes!"

Zhou Long was initially stunned but quickly came to.

Only now did he understand how truly powerful Ling Chen was.

Even a disciple of the Green Lotus Ancient Clan wasn’t his match.

Too incredible!

The two entered Taibai Building.

Ling Chen didn’t notice the venomous look Li Changtian shot at him.

"Want to come up and take a look?"

Ling Chen asked.

Room number twelve was on the higher levels of Taibai Building.

While Zhou Long’s room, number nine hundred seventy-nine, was on the bottom level.

"Sure."

Zhou Long nodded.

Soon, the two arrived at room twelve.

The room was extremely spacious, and the window was large, offering a clear view outside.

The entire scenery of Green Lotus City could almost be taken in at a glance.

It was quite enjoyable.

"Could an eleven-star emperor achieve such a high ranking?"

Ling Chen smiled.

Zhou Long said, "Logically, it’s unlikely. The top fifteen are almost all near-emperor level and above! It must be because of Li Changtian’s status. Ordinary cultivators wouldn’t dare offend him."

"Exactly! What kind of waves could an eleven-star emperor stir up?"

Ling Chen said.

Even though Li Changtian was very powerful with the Green Lotus Sword Manual and a third-rate Green Lotus Bloodline.

But, compared to a near-emperor, he was completely unqualified to compete.
