239 Divine Spiritual Pearl
Dao Ming looked at Qin Chen insistently. He had to bring Qin Chen back to the Heavenly Dao Mansion tomorrow. Only then would the price their faction had paid to come to the ten lands early be worth it.
Qin Chen frowned and said with a firm attitude, âThe forbidden grounds of the ten lands are full of opportunities. I have to wait for them to appear before I can go to the Heavenly Dao Mansion.â
âThere is a Heaven and Earth restriction between the nine Heavens and ten lands. Before the restriction is lifted, people from the ten lands can not go to the nine Heavens, nor can people from the nine Heavens go to the ten lands. Now that Heaven and Earth have been restored, the restriction has loosened. If you donât go to the nine Heavens within a month, you can only go after the restriction is lifted. The sect master has calculated that it will take at least a few hundred years for the restriction to be lifted. Therefore, you must return to the Heavenly Dao Mansion with me tomorrow,â Dao Ming explained in all seriousness. The reason why he was so anxious was because of the nine Heavensâ restriction. Therefore, he had to bring Qin Chen back to the Heavenly Dao Mansion tomorrow.
Qin Chen touched his chin. Even so, he was not willing to go to the Heavenly Dao Mansion now. After all, the secrets of the great emperorâs palace had not been unraveled yet, and the forbidden grounds had yet to appear. Even if he had to wait for a few hundred years, he could not miss this opportunity.
Moreover, Qin Chen had originally planned to check in for a few hundred years and only go to the nine Heavens when he was strong enough. The restrictions of the nine Heavens were great for him.
Thus, he said decisively, âI have to stay in the ten lands. If the forbidden grounds donât appear in a month, I will wait for a few hundred years. In the long years of cultivation, a few hundred years isnât too long.â
âPreposterous! You have extreme talent. As long as you go to the nine Heavens, you will definitely make rapid progress. If you donât go, in less than a few hundred years, those who are far inferior to you will surpass you. By then, you will no longer be worthy of being called a genius,â Dao Ming scolded. Qin Chenâs talent was monstrous. He didnât want Qin Chen to be delayed in the ten lands. He wasnât willing to let the other party stay in the ten lands for a few years, let alone a few hundred years.
The two argued endlessly and were at a stalemate in the room. No party could convince the other. There were a few times when Dao Ming almost flew into a rage and just kidnapped Qin Chen to the Heavenly Dao Mansion.
âIf you canât agree to my request, I will never join the Heavenly Dao Mansion even if you take me to Chiyang Heaven by force, let alone help you revitalize the Heavenly Dao Mansion,â Qin Chen immediately quit and put on a look that said he would not give up, which made Dao Ming, who was standing at the side, gnash his teeth in anger.
Dao Mingâs eyes narrowed and his mind was filled with thoughts. Although he acknowledged Qin Chenâs talent, if he wanted the latter to contribute to the sect, he had to be willing. If they were to force it, the sect would be the one to suffer in the end.
After careful consideration, Dao Ming finally agreed to Qin Chenâs conditions, âYou can stay in the ten lands. However, if other factions from the nine Heavens recruit you during this period, you must reject them. Moreover, after the nine Heavensâ restriction is lifted, you must return to the Heavenly Dao Mansion with me to cultivate in seclusion until you catch up to those monstrous geniuses in the nine Heavens.â
âItâs a deal!â Qin Chen nodded in agreement, then continued, âElder Dao Ming, Ling Ran is one of my people. After she goes to the Heavenly Dao Mansion, you canât let her suffer any losses or grievances. Otherwise, everything I promised you will be null and I will never join the Heavenly Dao Mansion!â
Dao Mingâs eyes darkened as he said in a deep voice, âThe Zixia Divine Body is a special innate physique. The sect will naturally nurture her well. How will we let her suffer?â
With Dao Mingâs guarantee, Qin Chen was relieved. His eyes rolled as he thought of something and he said, âElder Dao Ming, what if the other factions from the nine Heavens forcefully recruit me as you did? Why donât you leave me a few life-saving treasures? That way, I can live until the day the nine Heavensâ restriction is lifted!â
Upon hearing this, Dao Mingâs eyes narrowed. He naturally knew what Qin Chen meant. Although he was a little unwilling, he considered the possibility. Hence, he reached out and took out a green pearl, then said softly, âThis is a divine spiritual pearl. Three of my supernormal knowledge that I cast with all my strength are sealed in it. Itâs enough to kill any expert below level 4 of the God realm. Take it to save your life.â
Qin Chen took over the divine spiritual pearl with delight. He felt the terrifying aura contained in the pearl and became excited. With such a treasure, who would he need to fear in the ten lands?
âElder Dao Ming! Isnât one divine spiritual pearl too little? Why donât you give me a few more? Donât be so stingy!â Qin Chen chuckled and winked at Dao Ming, wanting to get a few more pearls.
Seeing how shameless Qin Chen was, Dao Mingâs face darkened and he said in a deep voice, âThe divine spiritual pearl is made of a special material, and it is a rare treasure even in the nine Heavens. I only brought this one. If you think itâs too little, you can give it back to me.â
âItâs not little, not little at all. Itâs enough to save my life,â Qin Chen immediately kept the divine spiritual pearl and made a face at Dao Ming.
âRemember what you promised me today. If you dare to go back on your word, the entire Heavenly Dao Mansion will come after you and settle the score,â Dao Ming snorted coldly and left after giving Qin Chen some instructions.
Everything became calm again. No one knew that the number one genius of the human race, the Elder King, had joined Chiyang Heavenâs Heavenly Dao Mansion.
The next morning, Tianxia City became lively again. The 20 people who passed the selection were already waiting in the sky above Tianxia City. Around them were their clansmen and friends.
âHow jealous. The cultivation speed in Chiyang Heaven is ten times that of the ten lands. After they go, their cultivation will definitely improve by leaps and bounds. Itâs not impossible for them to surpass the Elder King and the others.â
âTen times the cultivation speed! Itâs really fascinating. If my cultivation was a little higher, I wouldâve been among the twenty people today.â
âDo we really have no chance to go to the nine Heavens?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDonât worry, everyone. You should know that the Elder King, the ancient princes, and the others have not gone to the nine Heavens yet. Since they have stayed, it means that there will still be a chance in the future.â
Everyone was talking about it on the streets. Some were envious, some were regretful, and some were very calm, not worried about whether they could go to the nine Heavens in the future.
At this moment, Dao Mingâs group of five appeared in the air. Looking at the twenty people who had arrived, Dao Ming said, âSay your final goodbyes to your family and friends. You wonât see each other for a long time.â
As soon as he finished speaking, Dao Ming and the other four burst out with a terrifying Godly aura. Dao Ming threw out an array disk that was shining with Emperor runes. Under the activation of Dao Ming and the other four, it released a ray of holy light, which enveloped Ling Ran and the others.
Ling Ran felt a spatial force wrapping around her. She looked at Qin Chen and smiled. Then, she transmitted her message, âIâll be waiting for you at Chiyang Heaven!â
