CHAPTER 891: CHAPTER 891: MYSTIC SWORD STIRS

Seeing Ling Chen like this, Zhong Ling couldn’t blame him.

After all, this guy has brought glory to the Flower Immortal Sect!

The way she spoke earlier was because Ling Chen’s collision with the Great Emperor might cause trouble for him.

Her true intention was to protect Ling Chen.

As for Nie Wuliang, even if he died, it didn’t matter much.

This New Emperor’s Struggle originally had no rules.

"What’s the matter with your cultivation?"

Zhong Ling transmitted her voice.

These matters were not convenient to speak about publicly.

They belonged to Ling Chen’s secrets.

Ling Chen replied, "My path in spiritual power and divine soul are different in grasping the Heaven and Earth Power. I’ve tried, and they can be used together. But of course, it’s only the Heaven and Earth Power of the divine soul path that can strengthen the spiritual power."

Since it was already revealed, there was no need to hide it.

Moreover, the Great Elder wasn’t an outsider.

Previously, he intended to tell the Sect Leader.

But then he thought it was better to wait until he had performed well, and then speak later.

Just right, this New Emperor’s Struggle was an opportunity to showcase.

Moreover, this time, the rewards for the New Emperor’s Struggle were so generous.

Ling Chen naturally wanted to strive with all his might.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Ling understood.

Just as she had guessed.

It’s just that she didn’t know why Ling Chen could achieve this step.

In Central Continent, talents abound.

In history, those who cultivated both spiritual power and divine soul were not nonexistent.

But as far as she knew, the Heaven and Earth Power controlled by these two paths were almost always the same.

This is why almost all cultivators, upon advancing to Emperor Realm, would specialize in one path.

Even if cultivating both, it was of no help to strength.

It might even become a burden.

After all, controlling Heaven and Earth Power is not that easy.

Thus, up to now, specializing in one path has almost become a consensus among everyone.

"Alright, I understand. We will discuss this in detail later. For now, you all stay here and watch the battle!"

Saying this, Zhong Ling returned to the main observation platform.

She sat together with Chu Tongtian and other powerful Great Emperors.

When they saw Zhong Ling return, the gaze of Chu Tongtian and others immediately fell upon her.

"Elder Zhong, what is the cultivation of your Flower Immortal Sect’s disciple?"

Chu Tongtian couldn’t help but ask.

Even the Great Emperor from Sky Sword Pavilion couldn’t help but look over.

Although Sky Sword Pavilion lost, Nie Wuliang was only severely injured and not in mortal danger.

"My sect’s disciple doesn’t know either."

Zhong Ling said.

Such things, she naturally wouldn’t disclose to others.

Moreover, she hadn’t really figured it out.

Upon hearing this, Chu Tongtian and others looked a bit embarrassed.

But, Zhong Ling’s words were equivalent to a refusal.

Even these Great Emperors wouldn’t shamelessly keep asking.

Though they were immensely curious in their hearts.

The disciples of the Taixuan Immortal Sect finally reacted.

One by one, they looked at Ling Chen in great shock.

A one-star Emperor defeating a three-star Emperor?

This was truly a battle fought across levels!

And it was two levels apart!

At the Emperor’s level, surpassing levels was extremely difficult.

"Young Master Ling, your methods are truly unfathomable!"

"Indeed! No wonder the Flower Immortal Sect recruited him as the only male disciple!"

"With such strength, only those with a divine body comparable to heaven-defying prodigies could achieve this, right?"

"Yes, truly astounding!"

...

Everyone was talking animatedly.

At this moment, they could no longer call him Xiao Bai Face.

With such strength, how could it belong to a frivolous person?

If a frivolous person could possess such strength, they would rather be one themselves.

The title changed to Young Master Ling!

In the observation areas of the other six Heavenly Sects.

The prodigies also looked at Ling Chen in shock.

Originally, they thought Ling Chen was at the bottom.

Now, it seemed Ling Chen’s strength was beyond puzzling!

A mere one-star early-stage Emperor displaying the power of a mid-stage three-star Emperor, it was simply unbelievable!

They finally understood that Ling Chen truly relied on his strength to participate in the New Emperor’s Struggle.

Not his appearance.

Next were the remaining competitions of the six Heavenly Sects.

Ling Chen did not idle either.

He watched the competitions to understand the skills of his opponents.

Three hours later.

All the competitions of the first round ended.

In the remaining three matches, there was no scene like Ling Chen’s of the weak defeating the strong.

They were relatively standard.

Finally.

The Taixuan Immortal Sect, Qiankun Academy, the Five Elements Heavenly Sect, and the Flower Immortal Sect entered the top four.

The remaining four Heavenly Sects could only vie for the last four positions.

Because Nie Wuliang was severely injured, the last position was basically locked by Sky Sword Pavilion.

Returning to their residence.

Zhong Ling immediately called Ling Chen over.

She continued to inquire about the cultivation issue.

She even understood the intricacies of Ling Chen’s cultivation process.

Ultimately, she came to no conclusions.

However, she had two hypotheses.

The first might be related to Ling Chen’s physique.

The second was related to Ling Chen’s Green Lotus Bloodline.

As for other aspects, she couldn’t think of any immediately.

These hypotheses were difficult to verify.

After all, cultivating both paths and advancing to Emperor Realm is extremely difficult for most people.

Yun Shang, Long Qingying, and Liu Yue were very interested in Ling Chen’s cultivation.

However, Ling Chen did not truthfully inform them.

Zhong Ling also advised the three not to get involved.

The next day.

The New Emperor’s Struggle continued.

Today, it was the day to determine the rankings for the last four positions.

Zhong Ling and Yun Shang went to watch the battles.

As Elders of the Flower Immortal Sect, they had to go.

Ling Chen and the other two roamed within the Taixuan Immortal Sect.

They had already witnessed everyone’s strength.

So, there wasn’t a need to go again today.

The significant sites of the Taixuan Immortal Sect were guarded by powerful individuals, but other areas could be explored freely.

Compared to the Flower Immortal Sect, it wasn’t as picturesque.

But it had its own unique charm.

They spent half a day touring the entire Taixuan Mountain.

The Taixuan Mountain was magnificent.

However, when they reached a place on the mountainside, the Mystic Sword in Ling Chen’s internal world suddenly floated up.

"Hmm?"

Ling Chen furrowed his brows slightly.

He immediately used Divine Soul Telekinesis to explore the surroundings.

There was nothing unusual.

Then, he started to wander around this place, simultaneously summoning the Mystic Sword.

Soon, he discovered the tip of the Mystic Sword was always pointing in one direction.

And, this direction was a large rock.

Ling Chen stepped forward and pressed his right hand against the rock.

But found out that it was just an illusion.

"As expected from the Taixuan Immortal Sect, which cultivates the divine soul path!"

Ling Chen marveled.

He himself was a Divine Thought Master!

This rock actually deceived his Divine Soul Telekinesis.

One can imagine how astonishing the methods of the Taixuan Immortal Sect are!

Passing through the illusionary rock, what appeared before Ling Chen was a cave.

There was a Spirit Array set at the cave entrance.

It should be a place for secluded cultivation.

Ling Chen attempted to attack it several times and found that even if he used all his strength, he couldn’t break through the Spirit Array.

He could only choose to give up.

"I wonder what’s inside this cave that even the Mystic Sword is attracted?"

Ling Chen wondered internally.

The last time the Mystic Sword behaved like this was in the Void Secret Realm when searching for the Emperor Spirit Weapon.

Could it be that there’s an Emperor Spirit Weapon here as well?

Judging by the Mystic Sword’s temperament, a mid-grade Emperor Spirit Weapon couldn’t possibly attract it.

It must be a superior-grade Emperor Spirit Weapon.

However, he couldn’t break the Guardian Spirit Array.

He had no choice but to give up trying.
