Chapter 1496 - 1493: Encounter with Senior Brother

Chapter 1496: Chapter 1493: Encounter with Senior Brother

On this journey, Chen Tianlong finally realized that the Kunlun Sect was afraid of the Divine Sword Sect. Since this was the case, why not make full use of this identity, especially since he was originally a disciple of the Divine Sword Sect. As for being the Sect Leader, whether it counted or not, both the Sword Saint’s sword and cultivation technique belonged to him. Who else could be the Sect Leader of the Divine Sword Sect?

"Sect Leader Chen Tianlong, you are truly unfathomable. Alright, your armor will be ready for pickup by noon tomorrow, so you can rest easy and return to take a break."

With everything settled, Feng Zou began to craft the armor. As for how it would be made, that involved matters of personal technique, which Chen Tianlong and Mengting did not wish to interfere with.

After the two left, Feng Zou was still somewhat excited. These two people had truly broadened his horizons. Leaving aside their strength, just their heaven-defying physique alone was bound to become a great talent with time.

Chen Tianlong and Mengting began walking back to their room. Upon reaching the dormitory, they suddenly saw a familiar face; it was Kuang Chenggong.

Chen Tianlong was instantly surprised. To encounter his great enemy here on Kunlun Mountain. However, it seemed Kuang Chenggong, like other martial arts colleagues, had come to seek the true meaning of immortality; there shouldn’t be any major disturbances.

Though Kuang Chenggong was at the Great Perfection Limit of the Celestial Dao Seven Stars, there were hundreds of people here with comparable strength, and several thousand above the Celestial Dao Seven Stars.

Would he dare to cause trouble alone? Unless he had a death wish.

Evidently, Kuang Chenggong also saw Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting, but without much commotion, he merely smiled and entered his room.

Kuang Chenggong’s room was separated from theirs by over ten rooms, quite a distance relatively speaking.

Chen Tianlong didn’t want to worry about him too much. His main task now was to enter the Otherworld to clear the Otherworldly aura from the Dragon Slayer Sword. He needed to improve his strength to the maximum before Kuang Chenggong did, so he wouldn’t have to fear Kuang Chenggong then.

"Mengting, let’s go back to our room."

Chen Tianlong noticed Wu Mengting still staring at Kuang Chenggong’s location, biting her lip tightly. Good Sword Manor’s destruction, and her father’s disappearance were likely caused by Kuang Chenggong’s people, but Wu Mengting knew she wasn’t a match for this demon now and could only swallow her anger.

Wu Mengting nodded slightly, forcing a weak smile, and prepared to enter with Chen Tianlong.

"Junior Brother Chen Tianlong, is that you?" Suddenly, a very familiar voice called out. Chen Tianlong was overjoyed upon hearing it and hurriedly turned around, indeed seeing Wu Guangzu swiftly approaching.

"Ah? Senior Brother Wu, it’s really you, great!"

Chen Tianlong, overjoyed, quickly went forward. When the two met, they embraced deeply, continuously patting each other’s shoulders.

"Junior Brother, are you doing well?"

Wu Guangzu was also very emotional. The journey had been fraught with difficulty, facing numerous hardships. In just a few months, he had nearly lost everything and had finally encountered Chen Tianlong, his only family.

"Senior Brother Wu, I’m well. How about you?"

Chen Tianlong was very excited, remembering almost experiencing a life-and-death separation at the battle on Heart-breaking Cliff. Although Wu Guangzu had knocked him into the cliff, it was during a moment of demonic possession, and perhaps even Wu Guangzu didn’t know what he had done then.

"Haha, I’m fine now, no worries. My Master saved me. I heard I was possessed."

Wu Guangzu mentioned this with a hint of sadness. He originally intended to break through the Great Perfection of the Godless Technique to aid the army and fight against enemies together, but he happened to fall into demonic possession at the critical moment.

"By the way, after I was possessed, did I harm any innocents or hurt you?" Wu Guangzu suddenly asked, as he had no memory of what had happened during his possession.

Chen Tianlong gave a wry smile and glanced at Wu Mengting, who didn’t know what to say. After adjusting his emotions, Chen Tianlong smiled slightly, saying, "No, after you were possessed, you just slept quietly in the cave, unconscious. Unfortunately, I was being chased by Kuang Chenggong, so I had to flee everywhere."

This was a kind-hearted lie; Chen Tianlong felt there was no need to let Wu Guangzu know about such a painful experience. Since everything had passed, forgetting might be a good choice.

"I see. I thought I did something terrible. Luckily, I didn’t; otherwise, I’d blame myself forever." Wu Guangzu breathed a sigh of relief, trusting Chen Tianlong’s words.

"Haha, yes. Senior Brother Wu, where are you staying, and why did you come to the Kunlun Sect?" Chen Tianlong asked suddenly.

Wu Guangzu shrugged and replied, "You probably saw Kuang Chenggong earlier. Wherever he is, I’ll be too. Another crucial reason is that Master Wuchen sent out invitations far and wide. We’re here to participate in the Extreme Dao Pretrial. Only those who pass this trial are qualified to join the preparatory team entering the Immortal Realm."

"Oh? Extreme Dao Pretrial? There’s such a thing? I didn’t know."

Chen Tianlong was surprised. His initial purpose for coming here was to enter the Otherworld, not paying attention to developments here. It was no wonder he saw many martial arts colleagues along the way, initially thinking they were here to seek mentorship.

"Yes, it starts in five days. Many top experts from all over will gradually arrive. Chen Tianlong, Miss Mengting, you two should sign up too."

Wu Guangzu suddenly remembered that Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting were also experts.

Chen Tianlong frowned slightly. If this trial was hosted by the Kunlun Sect, it must have many benefits. Even Kuang Chenggong came, showing its significance.

While he didn’t know what the Extreme Dao Pretrial entailed, the term ’Extreme Dao’ was very striking, seemingly much more advanced than the Celestial Dao. If he didn’t participate, and Kuang Chenggong did, even if he made the Dragon Slayer Sword incredibly powerful, what use would it be?

Nonetheless, registering now, and if unable to return from the Otherworld in five days, he would miss the trial. So, Chen Tianlong planned to ask Master Wuchen when the Gate of the Otherworld would open and if there were any scheduling conflicts.

"Alright, I’ll go ask Master Wuchen and see what’s going on." Chen Tianlong nodded slightly and said calmly.

"Okay, I’ll first settle my luggage, and once I’m done, I’ll find you. I’m staying in the opposite row of rooms."

Wu Guangzu had just arrived, with more procedures to complete. Unlike Chen Tianlong, who had special treatment as part of the Divine Sword Sect, he needed to follow some formalities, while Chen Tianlong was treated like a VIP guest without those requirements.

After hearing Wu Guangzu’s words, the two didn’t return to their room immediately but instead headed straight to Master Wuchen’s quarters. From previous communications, Chen Tianlong knew Master Wuchen had reservations about the Divine Sword Sect. Approaching him directly shouldn’t pose significant problems.

Soon, the two reached Master Wuchen’s quarters. At this time, two disciples stood guard outside the room. Upon seeing Chen Tianlong and the others approaching, they immediately became vigilant and said, "What business do you two have here? This is the Sect Leader’s secluded cultivation site. No one is allowed to approach, please leave."
