Chapter 176
Cui Zheng's outstretched palm stopped abruptly, and the surging blood Qi quickly retracted back into his body like a mouse meeting a cat.
Gu Chen also stopped, breathing a little hurriedly as he turned to look.
He saw a tall female killer wearing a strange floral mask walking into the Numinous Sky Hall.
"Greetings, Senior Rose."
Many of the Prospective Daoists made way for her with a hint of awe in their eyes.
Gu Chen didn't know who this person was, but judging from the mask, she was probably a Titled Killer God, on the same level as Killer God Green Qilin.
Sure enough, Xu Huahua's voice rang in his ears in an almost undetectable manner.
"Chen Gu, this is the Rose Killing God, her title is Blood Rose. Her temper is much worse than Killer God Green Qilin, so everyone is afraid of her.
"But don't worry, I'm here. She won't make things difficult for you."
Before Gu Chen could figure out where Xu Huahua's confidence came from, he saw her approaching Rosette Killer God in a few steps.
"Teacher, why are you only here now? If you came any later, Chen Gu would have been bullied to death by them. "
Xu Huahua said coquettishly. Cui Zheng immediately panicked.
"Senior Rose, she's talking nonsense! I was just sparring with Chen Gu! "
Killer God Rose glanced at Xu Huahua helplessly and then glared at Cui Zheng.
"You still have the face to explain? Today is the palace entrance ceremony for the newly promoted Prospective Daoists, and this is the Numinous Sky Hall of the Golden Arches. Is it appropriate to use force?"
Cui Zheng was speechless and quickly lowered his head. "Senior Rose, I know I was wrong."
Gu Chen found it funny. Cui Zheng, who was full of vigor just now, was so obedient in front of Killer God Rose. The other Prospective Daoists also seemed to be full of fear towards her. It seemed that she was not simple.
Xu Huahua's relationship with her seemed a little special. Gu Chen couldn't help but think of the rumors from a while ago. It was said that there was a Titled Killer God in the Heaven Palace who wanted to be Xu Huahua's protector. Could it be this Killer God Rose?
"You're Chen Gu? You just came to the Heaven Palace and you're already fighting with someone. Why don't the two of you go up the dueling platform and fight to the death? "
Killing God Rosette turned to look at Gu Chen and said angrily.
"Junior knows his wrongs."
Gu Chen lowered his head. He knew it was meaningless to argue with a woman, especially a superior woman.
"Teacher, Chen Gu didn't do anything wrong. It was Cui Zheng and Hua Zhengfei who teamed up to bully him."
Xu Huahua hurriedly explained. At this moment, she was like an ordinary twelve-year-old girl, innocent and unaffected, speaking sweetly and greedily.
"Xu Huahua, don't slander me. I was the one who was bullied, okay?"
Hua Zhengfei was flustered and exasperated. His right hand was still swollen and painful!
"Alright, don't think that I don't know what you're all thinking."
Killing God Rosette interjected as her cold gaze swept across the many Prospective Daoists.
"Although Chen Gu doesn't have a special constitution, since he has become a Quasi-Dao Child, he has the same status as you. Although his talent is a little dull, it's not a reason for you to look down on him. "
"I think you guys have been a little too arrogant recently. I'll arrange a few Earth-grade missions for each of you."
As soon as Killing God Rosette said this, the group of Prospective Daoists groaned and said that they wouldn't dare to do it again.
The corner of Gu Chen's mouth could not help but twitch when he heard this.
This Killing God Rosette was clearly speaking up for him. Why did it sound like she was insulting him?
After Killing God Rosette scolded the crowd, she looked around and quickly frowned.
"Where's Master Qing Lin? Shouldn't he be here? "
"Senior, Senior Qing Lin said that he had something to do and has left."
Gu Chen replied.
"Something to do?"
Killing God Rosette snorted coldly and said. "Where are the three Daoists? Why isn't anyone here? "
"Cui Zheng, aren't you close to Jiang Yige? Why isn't he here? "
Cui Zheng immediately looked troubled. "Senior, Brother Jiang said that all the Prospective Daoists must be present during the palace entrance ceremony for the newly promoted Prospective Daoists. There are no mandatory requirements for the Daoists, so he didn't come."
Killing God Rosette looked at the other Prospective Daoists. "The other two Daoists think so too?"
Everyone nodded.
The palace entrance ceremony for the Prospective Daoists was never mandatory. However, because the Prospective Daoists were the potential opponents of the Daoists in the future, the three Daoists would often come to watch the ceremony whenever a powerful person with a special physique appeared.
However, this time, they knew that the new Prospective Daoists did not have a special physique. Therefore, the three Daoists lost interest and did not participate.
"Understood. Let's start the ceremony now!"
Killing God Rosette said no more and Gu Chen's palace entrance ceremony began.
All the Prospective Daoists stood in two rows while Gu Chen went to the center of the hall.
The palace entrance ceremony for the Prospective Daoists was more complicated. After Killing God Rosette read out the Heavenly Palace's rules, she handed a few items to Gu Chen.
A white robe with three golden patterns embroidered on the shoulder, a dark purple mask, and a dark cyan storage ring with an ancient "Heaven" pattern on its surface.
Gu Chen accepted all these things, which could be considered as completing the ceremony.
"Congratulations on becoming the 81th Prospective Daoist. According to the rules, you will get a chance to comprehend the Stone of Time. Every Prospective Daoist only has one chance in their lifetime. Cherish it. "
Killing God Rosette said seriously.
Many of the Prospective Daoists who were not interested in the ceremony became excited after hearing the words "Stone of Time". Their eyes were filled with envy.
"Senior, may I know what the Stone of Time is?"
Gu Chen was surprised.
"You don't even know what the Stone of Time is? Didn't Qing Lin tell you before he brought you here? "
Killing God Rosette was very surprised.
Gu Chen shook his head helplessly. He felt that Killing God Rosette was too unreliable.
Not only did he leave him here before he even reached the Sky Palace, but he also didn't mention anything about what he needed to pay attention to in the Heavenly Palace when he was at the branch. He only mentioned Cao Xuanbin.
"The Stone of Time is the Heavenly Palace's most valuable treasure. It has all kinds of mysterious powers and can help people comprehend the Great Dao of Zen and the truth of heaven and earth."
Killing God Rosette explained, "These things are too mysterious. You'll understand when you come into contact with it yourself. Comprehending the Stone of Time can be said to be the most important part of the ceremony. It is also the most important thing for every Prospective Daoist.
"Comprehending the Stone of Time is better than a hundred years of hard work! This is an opportunity that everyone dreams of. As for how much of an opportunity you can obtain, it will depend on your own ability. "
As Gu Chen listened, his heart gradually became excited. Becoming a Prospective Daoist was indeed a wise choice!
Killing God Rosette poured cold water on Gu Chen's excitement when she saw the joy on his face.
"Don't hold too much hope. According to past experience, the benefits one can obtain from the Stone of Time is often proportional to their physique."
"In the past, there were a few Prospective Daoists with medium special physiques who obtained almost nothing from comprehending the Stone of Time. You only have an ordinary physique, so I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for you to obtain anything."
"It doesn't matter if you don't obtain anything. The Heavenly Palace is open to every Prospective Daoist. You can find many Earth Grade techniques there. That is the most practical."
