CHAPTER 805: CHAPTER 805: INVITATION

"Whoosh!"

Ling Chen transformed into a streak of light, rushing toward a nearby city.

Only by entering the city could he avoid the assault of the night wind.

This was the experience of his predecessors.

As for the city’s location, it changed at random.

Even the entire Void Secret Realm had different boundaries each time it opened.

Previously, while searching for treasures, Ling Chen had also been seeking out the city.

After using the Undying Star technique, although the night wind was bizarre, it could no longer harm Ling Chen.

A quarter of an hour later.

Ling Chen rushed into the city.

As soon as he entered the city’s range, the wind outside immediately vanished.

Instead, an incredibly dense Spiritual Energy replaced it.

There were a total of nine cities within the Void Secret Realm.

At this moment, a considerable number of people had already gathered in this city.

Ling Chen’s arrival immediately raised the vigilance of many people.

At the late Eight-Star Emperor level, Ling Chen was considered a relatively powerful existence here.

His strength was definitely among the top two hundred.

Especially, many people recognized Ling Chen.

He was not only an Eight-Star Emperor but also a Supreme Emperor Realm Divine Thought Master!

This city was neither too big nor too small.

It could easily accommodate hundreds of people.

Ling Chen casually found a spot in the city and rested.

Soon, an hour passed.

The number of talents in the city continued to grow.

However, most of them had some injuries when they entered.

Though not fatal, they looked quite disheveled.

However, these had basically nothing to do with Ling Chen.

After resting, Ling Chen took out his Mystic Sword again.

"I wonder what level the Mystic Sword has reached now?"

With a thought, the Mystic Sword appeared.

Previously, the Mystic Sword was also at the Supreme King Spiritual Weapon level.

And now it had devoured an Emperor Spirit Weapon.

It should significantly boost its power.

"Whoosh!"

Ling Chen infused the Mystic Sword with fused Spiritual Power, releasing a black Sword Qi.

"Boom!"

A huge crack appeared on the ground.

"It’s barely comparable to a Mid-Grade Emperor Spiritual Weapon?"

Feeling the power of the Sword Qi, Ling Chen frowned.

The Mystic Sword had devoured an Emperor Spirit Weapon, yet its power increased so little. It was terrifying.

Initially, he thought it would at least compare to a Supreme Emperor Spiritual Weapon.

He put the Mystic Sword away.

Though a bit disappointed, Ling Chen had a Supreme Emperor Spiritual Weapon, so he didn’t need to use the Mystic Sword for now.

This commotion caught the attention of quite a few people.

However, an attack from a mere Mid-Grade Emperor Spiritual Weapon did not concern these talents.

At this time, as Ling Wu’s injuries healed, Ling Chen released her.

"Young Master Ling!"

A voice came.

Five cultivators slowly walked over.

The aura around these five was overwhelmingly vast.

Three of them, in particular, were unfathomable!

"Ten-Star Emperors!"

Ling Chen’s eyes slightly narrowed.

These five people had at least three Ten-Star Emperors.

Ten-Star Emperors were formidable adversaries for Ling Chen.

Because generally, Ten-Star Emperors’ cultivation reached the eighth level of the World Realm.

Such formidable individuals rendered Ling Chen’s Divine Soul Attack ineffective.

"Mr. Chen!"

Ling Chen rose and smiled faintly at the one leading them.

He had heard of this person before.

His name was Chen Guan.

He was the son of the Heavenly Capital Commander.

The five of them were all from Heavenly Capital, the number one capital of the Northern Domain.

"Haha, Young Master Ling, it’s truly an honor for you to recognize me!"

Chen Guan laughed.

Ling Chen said, "Mr. Chen, you jest. Your reputation precedes you, of course Ling has heard of it."

"This must be Miss Ling Wu?"

Chen Guan’s gaze landed on Ling Wu.

Ranked one hundredth in the Genius List, a Six-Star Emperor!

He couldn’t not know.

"Greetings, Mr. Chen!"

Ling Wu gave a slight bow.

"Miss Ling, you’re too kind."

Chen Guan returned the courtesy.

After some small talk, Chen Guan got straight to the point: "Young Master Ling, we have found a treasure land. Are you interested in exploring it with us?"

"A treasure land?"

Ling Chen’s gaze sharpened.

The group had only been inside for a day, yet Chen Guan had already discovered a treasure land.

Clearly, the major forces of Qing Province had deep research on this place.

Discovered by those who had entered before.

But had not been explored.

Moreover, Chen Guan referred to it as a treasure land, not just a treasure.

"Indeed!"

Chen Guan nodded.

This treasure land was discovered by predecessors who participated in the previous Genius List competitions.

They just didn’t have the chance to explore it.

So it remained.

Ling Chen looked at Chen Guan and asked, "Mr. Chen, why invite me?"

There had been no interaction between the parties before.

"We need a Divine Thought Master!"

Chen Guan said, "Young Master Ling, we’re all Spiritual Power Practitioners. In certain situations, we need a Divine Thought Master’s help. That’s why we invited you."

"But you have many Divine Thought Masters in the Northern Domain too?"

Ling Chen smiled.

He found it strange.

The Northern Domain also had many powerful Divine Thought Masters, why him?

Chen Guan said, "Young Master Ling, we indeed know some Divine Thought Masters in the Northern Domain. But they are all reserved by the geniuses of Qing City and have no time to explore this treasure land with us."

"So there are other forces that have found treasure lands too?"

Ling Chen asked.

Chen Guan nodded, "That’s right. The predecessors of our forces have also entered before, so of course we understand this place better. It’s not unusual for other forces to make discoveries too."

"Young Master Ling, consider it. We won’t make any promises. As to what treasures you might get, it depends on your luck. Surely, you know it’s quite difficult to find treasures here."

"If you agree, meet us at the south gate five days from now in the morning. We will depart from there."

With that, Chen Guan and his group left.

Watching their departure, Ling Chen furrowed his brows.

He wouldn’t agree to a single invitation right away.

After all, with three Ten-Star Emperors among them, they posed a significant threat to him.

"Over the next few days, I’ll investigate further."

Ling Chen thought to himself.

It had only been a day.

He wasn’t familiar with the entire Void Secret Realm yet.

Better to get acquainted first.

With the Mystic Sword in hand, finding other treasures might be difficult.

But looking for Emperor Spirit Weapon, it should be relatively easy.

In the following days, Ling Chen continued searching the Void Secret Realm by day, returning to the city by night.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

Even with the help of the Mystic Sword, Ling Chen only managed to find one Emperor Spirit Weapon.

Also absorbed by the Mystic Sword.

After another absorption, the Mystic Sword barely reached the level of a Supreme Emperor Spiritual Weapon.

"With this, I can contend with Ten-Star Emperors!"

Ling Chen’s eyes brightened.

The Mystic Sword contained mysterious energy that could counteract World Power.

Ten-Star Emperors were not to be feared.

Even if he couldn’t win, he wouldn’t fall.

There was no worry for self-preservation!

Plus, over these five days, he indeed found that it was too challenging to find treasures on his own.

"I’ve got to see what they are actually planning!"

On the morning of the fifth day, Ling Chen appeared at the south gate of the city.

"Young Master Ling, you’re here!"

When Chen Guan and his group saw Ling Chen, they wore expressions of delight.

Having Ling Chen, a Divine Thought Master, made them more confident of obtaining the treasures from the treasure land.

"Yes, Mr. Chen!"

Ling Chen smiled slightly.

"Great, with Young Master Ling joining us, we’re sure to gain something this time!"

Chen Guan said excitedly.
