CHAPTER 864: CHAPTER 864: I ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE

The swordsmanship talent test quickly concluded.

The cultivators after Ling Chen all had a six-star talent, and received the Six Forms of the Green Lotus Sword Manual.

Next came the swordsmanship exchange session.

This session was rather flexible in form.

You could spar and compete.

You could also discuss and exchange insights on swordsmanship cultivation.

You could even seek advice from the powerful figures of the Green Lotus Ancient Clan.

Some might even perceive the lingering Green Lotus Sword Qi left by the Sword Immortal on the Immortal Platform.

As the exchange began, most cultivators sought the guidance of Emperor Haotian.

Having tips from a Great Emperor Realm expert was incredibly beneficial to them.

In fact, many did not focus their inquiries solely on the path of the sword, but also on true cultivation.

Even how to perceive the Heaven and Earth Power was discussed.

"Young Master Ling, we apologize for what happened before, please forgive us!"

Li Qiushui and her brother Li Changtian approached, apologizing to Ling Chen.

Since Ling Chen’s status as a member of the Green Lotus Ancient Clan was confirmed, and his bloodline far surpassed theirs, they no longer harbored any resentment towards Ling Chen.

"Not challenging anymore?"

Ling Chen looked at Li Qiushui and smiled.

"Young Master Ling, you jest."

Li Qiushui nodded with a bitter smile.

Previously, Li Qiushui had boasted about settling the score with Ling Chen after the Immortal Platform gathering.

But now, knowing Ling Chen’s true strength, she had no courage left.

Just as Ling Chen previously mentioned, she voluntarily gave up the challenge.

"That’s good then."

Ling Chen nodded.

As for Li Changtian, Ling Chen directly ignored him.

An eleven-star sovereign truly couldn’t catch his eye.

Not even qualified to speak to him.

"Young Master Ling, when we reach the inner clan, please do help us more!"

Li Qiushui said.

If Ling Chen wasn’t around, she would have received the best treatment upon entering the inner clan.

However, with Ling Chen there.

She basically had no hope left.

The resources of the inner clan naturally would be allocated to those with superior bloodlines.

"If there is a chance, I will."

Ling Chen smiled.

Not to mention anything else, just the courage Li Qiushui showed in daring to challenge him was something Ling Chen admired.

Most cultivators were sharing their cultivation insights.

But the three of Ling Chen, however, did not participate.

For them, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

They might even receive personal guidance from the clan’s powerful figures.

So naturally, they weren’t interested in this.

In the blink of an eye, three hours passed.

The exchange temporarily came to a halt.

At this time, an Emperor Realm expert walked over.

"Greetings, Young Master Ling!"

The young man in a purple robe cupped his hands slightly toward Ling Chen.

Ling Chen hurriedly returned the salute, smiling, "This gentleman is too polite."

Regarding emperors, a certain level of respect was still necessary.

"I am Ye Jingyu and I wish to seek guidance from Young Master Ling!"

The young man in the purple robe said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Platform fell into dead silence.

"Young Master Ye, what is the meaning of this..."

Ling Chen was also slightly confused.

An Emperor Realm expert wanting to challenge him, what’s going on?

"Young Master Ling, I heard that the bloodline of the Green Lotus Clan is extremely powerful, I’d like to test it!"

Ye Jingyu said with a smile.

"An emperor challenging a quasi-emperor?"

The crowd exclaimed in surprise.

This was simply unbelievable.

Although Ling Chen was a quasi-emperor, he was ultimately not an actual emperor.

There was some gap between him and a true emperor.

An Emperor Realm expert challenging a quasi-emperor, is this a joke?

"Young Master Ye, please remember that you are an emperor and represent the dignity of an emperor. Bullying the weak, you are tarnishing the face of us emperors!"

Emperor Haotian spoke.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingyu bowed slightly to Emperor Haotian, smiling faintly, "You overestimate, Great Emperor. I am merely representing myself. Besides, relying on the Green Lotus Bloodline, is the great clan so invincible that it fears even me, a mere two-month-old emperor?"

He maintained a faint smile on his face.

He believed that during the Immortal Platform meeting, Emperor Haotian would surely not act against him.

The Green Lotus Clan could not afford to lose this face.

"Humph!"

Emperor Haotian snorted coldly, "You, using your emperor’s cultivation to challenge a quasi-emperor cultivator, which faction trained a prodigy like you?"

He felt that this person was blatantly targeting the Green Lotus Clan.

To be so shameless.

"This kid has no backing, merely a loose cultivator."

Ye Jingyu said with a smile.

"This gentleman, you should know, Ling Chen’s cultivation is weaker than yours, he has the right to refuse!"

Emperor Haotian said coldly.

For an Emperor Realm expert, even the lowest one-star.

They controlled ten percent of the Heaven and Earth Power.

Moreover, they could fully wield the power of an Emperor Spirit Weapon.

Even if Ling Chen possessed a Perfect World and activated the Green Lotus Bloodline, he might not be a match for this person.

"Of course, he can certainly refuse! But if Young Master Ling truly does, then I must thank him. Is it possible that a holder of the Green Lotus Bloodline would not even dare to accept my challenge? Before long, I could make a name for myself across Central State!"

Ye Jingyu laughed.

This is the Immortal Platform gathering, Ling Chen represents not just himself anymore.

He also stands for the face of the Green Lotus Ancient Clan.

Once Ling Chen refuses, it signifies the Green Lotus Ancient Clan showing weakness.

The Green Lotus Ancient Clan, being the foremost clan on the Nine Provinces Continent.

If they lack even the courage to fight a rival, wouldn’t they instantly become a laughingstock?

Therefore, Ling Chen must fight.

At that moment, while Emperor Haotian was in a dilemma, Ling Chen suddenly transmitted a message, "Great Emperor, is this person truly newly advanced to the Emperor Realm?"

If this person hadn’t mastered the Emperor Spirit Technique, perhaps he could fight.

"That’s correct, probably advanced within three months!"

Emperor Haotian responded.

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen exhaled deeply.

"You really wish to battle me?"

Ling Chen said coldly.

He could also tell this person wasn’t coming for him.

But for the Green Lotus Ancient Clan.

Now, he was also considered a member of the Green Lotus Ancient Clan.

Moreover, his mother was also a member of the clan.

Perhaps, he could use this as a greeting gift for his mother.

"Of course, I truly wish to see the Green Lotus Bloodline and if it’s as powerful as legend says!"

Ye Jingyu said with a smile.

In the Green Lotus Ancient Clan, those truly possessing a first-class bloodline are rare.

Moreover, they seldom take action.

So, this is an opportunity to glimpse the power of the Green Lotus Bloodline.

"Then I’ll accept!"

Ling Chen said coldly.

"Great!"

Ye Jingyu laughed, "Worthy of being a holder of the Green Lotus Bloodline!"

In his eyes, only those with first-class Green Lotus Bloodline are true Green Lotus Bloodlines.

Emperor Haotian said, "Ling Chen, you may lose this battle, don’t overexert yourself!"

Although Ling Chen and his son were in a competitive relationship.

Still, they were both part of the Green Lotus Clan.

Facing a common enemy, Emperor Haotian knew where to draw the line.

After all, all would prosper or decline together!

"Whoosh!"

With a movement, Ling Chen soared into the sky.

"Come! Let me witness the power of an Emperor Realm expert!"

Ling Chen looked down on Ye Jingyu from above.

Li Qiushui and Li Changtian were utterly astonished.

They never expected Ling Chen truly had the courage to battle a real Emperor Realm expert!

Ling Chen was merely a quasi-emperor!

Quasi-emperor is not a true emperor!

"Great!"

Ye Jingyu laughed heartily.

He too shot up to the sky.

Simultaneously, the clouds that had been shrouding the top of the Immortal Platform finally dispersed.

Revealing six Emperor Realm experts within.
