Chapter 1052
With a flash of light, Zi Chen appeared in the Wuji Sect. However, what greeted him was not a wave of cheers, but a storm of attacks.
These attacks were sharp, powerful, and terrifying. Even Zi Chen felt threatened. It was unrealistic to block them with the power of the Perfect Body because these attacks were prepared for the Earth Origin Realm. If Zi Chen used his body to block them, he would be turned into a sieve.
With a rumble, sword steles appeared beside him. There were a total of eight sword steles, blocking in all directions.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
All kinds of whistling attacks landed on the sword steles, making clanging sounds. Many of the attacks were blocked.
"This guy used a magic treasure to block the attacks. Demon Ape, you do it. Don't be polite. Just kill him."
After the first round of attacks, before the energy dissipated, a loud shout sounded. Zi Chen was very familiar with this voice. It was Wang Shan, whom he hadn't seen for many years. Zi Chen had always thought that he had died on the ancient road. He didn't expect him to still be alive.
As soon as Wang Shan finished speaking, a black light lingered in the sky. A huge black staff flashed with all kinds of runes and fell from the sky, smashing towards Zi Chen.
The black staff was stronger than before. It had reached the level of a top Soul Weapon. It had a terrifying power.
Zi Chen raised his head. The battle intent around him rose. Power surged in his hands. At the same time, the Broken Finger Glove appeared. An extremely terrifying aura emerged. Zi Chen raised his palms as if he was raising the sky and struck towards the black staff.
"Peng!"
The void shook. Then, a turbulent force spread in all directions. The black staff was sent flying by Zi Chen's powerful attack.
However, just as the black staff flew away, a sharp sword intent appeared between heaven and earth. It was a towering stone sword. It fell from the sky and stabbed towards Zi Chen's head.
This was Zhang Haotian's stone sword. However, he knew that his opponent was in the Earth Origin Realm, so he didn't control it himself. Instead, he used his spiritual sense to kill the enemy.
This was another Soul Weapon that wasn't weaker than a top weapon. Zi Chen had no choice. He clenched his fist again and struck out.
A golden light soared into the sky. The powerful force produced a violent collision, and the stone sword was sent flying.
"This bastard's strength is indeed terrifying. Everyone, don't stop. Attack him with all kinds of attacks!"
Wang Shan's voice once again sounded out, following which the Human-Grade soldiers gave off powerful auras as they slashed towards Zi Chen.
However, with the Sword Stele, these attacks could not threaten Zi Chen.
"Sis, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and attack!" Wang Shan shouted again.
Wang Xian 'er was with Su Mengyao and the rest. When they heard this, they subconsciously looked at Su Mengyao.
Su Mengyao cultivated the Ethereal Inaction Dao and knew how to predict. Therefore, she naturally became the leader of the four girls, even though her actual age was one or two years younger than Wang Xian 'er.
Su Mengyao's calm face suddenly changes. She opens her eyes and says, "It's time for revenge."
The other three didn't find the strangeness in Su Mengyao's words. They all launched powerful attacks from a distance.
At the same time, the Heavenly Flying Tiger also roared, and a huge shadow of a Heavenly Tiger appeared, directly rushing towards the transmission array that was covered in energy.
As for Longhu and Man Long, they did not attack. Their faces were filled with strange expressions.
"Rumble!"
Various energy attacks sounded out continuously, followed by Wang Shan's roar of command.
"No, we can't hold on any longer. Lv Peng, you go!" Wang Shan shouted.
"All-directional Nirvana!"
Lv Peng, who had been waiting for a long time, shouted. Array flags appeared in the sky one after another. The runes on the flags were flashing, emitting various brilliant lights.
He could fight on a small scale, but Zi Chen was not willing to be killed. Just as the array was about to merge, Zi Chen shouted, "Stop, it's me!"
It was Zi Chen's voice. Everyone was very familiar with it, and they were all stunned.
"What a cunning demon. How dare he imitate my brother-in-law's voice. Everyone, don't stop, this is a conspiracy. Let's quickly form the array and kill him!" Wang Shan's voice sounded again.
"Wang Shan, I think you're the one who should be killed!" Zi Chen said angrily.
He could feel that the array below was different from before. It could merge with the array flags above to form a killing array. It should be prepared for the Earth Origin Realm demons.
"Eh, this demon even knows Young Master's name." Wang Shan exclaimed in surprise. But right after that, a surge of energy struck Wang Shan, knocking him to the ground.
"Sister, what are you doing?" Wang Shan looked at Wang Xian 'er unhappily.
Wang Xian 'er snorted, "Who do you think you are?"
Wang Shan was stunned, but he quickly reacted and said in surprise, "Could it really be my brother-in-law?"
All kinds of energy dissipated, and the teleportation array was revealed. Zi Chen stood there, and not far away was Su Mengyao, who was smiling, and the rest of the excited crowd.
"Brother-in-law, it's really you!" Wang Shan jumped up.
Zi Chen put on a serious face and pretended to be angry, "Didn't you say you were going to kill me?"
"Misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding!" Wang Shan quickly smiled.
"Zi Chen, how could it be you? We thought it was the Earth Origin Realm demons who broke in." Lv Peng and the rest walked forward.
"There's no one there, and there are bloodstains on the ground. I think the Earth Origin Realm demon must have been injured. I've repaired some of the damaged arrays, but there are still some that can't be repaired. Go and fix them again." Zi Chen said.
"Okay, I'll go now."
Zi Chen nodded. They couldn't really face the Earth Origin Realm demon, so it was better to do it as soon as possible.
After that, the rest of the people gathered around and hugged each other.
In the Wuji Palace, everyone gathered again. All the higher-ups of the Wuji Sect were present, including Old Gui and Old Man Ming Qing.
Zi Chen's return and the breakthrough in his strength made everyone happy. It was as if the Wuji Sect had found its backbone again. Hei Feng and the rest fought to tell them about the development of the Wuji Sect in the past fifty years.
It had to be said that the development of the Wuji Sect was positive. Plus, the higher-ups were united, so there wasn't any infighting. Of course, the competition between the different factions was inevitable.
During this period, everyone was divided into a faction. For example, Lv Peng was in charge of arrays, and he led a group of people who knew about arrays. Qin Xing and Qin He were in charge of alchemy, and there were other factions.
What they said was all good. In the past fifty years, the number of disciples in the sect had increased, and because the Spiritual Qi in the barbarian land had become denser, the number of geniuses had gradually increased.
After everyone finished their reports, Zi Chen nodded with satisfaction.
Qin Xing stepped forward and said respectfully to Zi Chen, "Sect Leader, there are now more than thirty Human Origin Realm cultivators in the Wuji Sect, and we've successfully developed the Human Origin Pill. It has the same effect as the Human Origin Fruit. As long as someone reaches a certain level, they can take it and break through."
When Zi Chen heard this, a strange expression appeared on his face. "What? It has the same effect as the Human Origin Fruit?"
Qin Xing nodded and said, "That's right. We discovered the Human Origin Fruit in the barbarian land. After some research, we developed the Human Origin Pill. Senior Cauldron Spirit clearly told us that the effect of the Human Origin Pill is exactly the same as the Human Origin Fruit. It is said that when the pill was formed, the Heavens and Earth underwent a transformation.
Zi Chen frowned slightly. He guessed that the origin of the transformation should be the invasion of the Demon Race, which caused the transformation of the Heavens and Earth. However, this was a good thing. It proved that the Wuji Sect could continuously nurture Human Origin Realm cultivators.
After Qin Xing finished his report, Su Mengyao stepped forward. Zi Chen asked puzzledly, "Mengyao, what are you doing?"
Su Mengyao saluted Zi Chen and said, "Reporting to Sect Master, in recent years, we have been in contact with the Floating Mist Sect and have received their full support. The current Grand Elder of the Floating Mist Sect has declared that if the Wuji Sect is in trouble, he will lend a helping hand."
Seeing Su Mengyao's serious expression, Zi Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, Shangguan Yue'er followed suit.
"Reporting to Sect Master, the Moonlight Pavilion has also said that they will fully support us."
While speaking, Shangguan Yue'er winked at Zi Chen and said, "The Moonlight Pavilion has an Earthly Origin Realm cultivator."
These words greatly surprised Zi Chen. One must know that the Moonlight Pavilion's foundation was on par with the Cang Li Clan and the other clans. However, those clans had already been annihilated by Zi Chen. Yet, the Moonlight Pavilion still had an Earthly Origin Realm cultivator. This was somewhat inconceivable.
Seeing Zi Chen's expression, Shangguan Yue'er wittily said, "Sect Master Zi Chen, do you not believe me? Then what if I tell you that the Moonlight Pavilion has a close relationship with one of the four royal clans, the Moon Clan? Would that make sense?"
Zi Chen was relieved. The four royal clans were the true masters of the Martial Heaven Continent. Even if they had completely declined, it was normal for them to have some secrets.
A few hours later, Lu Peng returned. He said that the formation had mostly been repaired. However, it would take quite a bit of time to fully repair it. Furthermore, Lu Peng had decided to further improve the formation, turning it into a true danger zone.
That night, there should have been a celebration, but there was no celebration. Zi Chen was worried about the Thunder Clan.
"What? You brought the Thunder Clan?" Wang Qiong was startled. Lu Peng and the others were also present.
Zi Chen nodded. "Yes, the Thunder Clan's people are in the Violet Gold Gourd. However, I haven't thought of where to place them."
"Brother-in-law, do you even need to think about that? Of course it's for the Thunder Clan to join the Everlasting Sect," said Wang Shan excitedly.
Wang Shan said excitedly, "Think about it. Right now, our Everlasting Sect already has Body, Sword, Artifact, Pill, and other branches. If we join the Thunder Clan, wouldn't that be even better? Many years later, our Everlasting Sect will have many branches."
Many people agreed with Wang Shan's answer. Furthermore, his meaning was clear. He wanted the Thunder Clan to join the Everlasting Sect.
When Zi Chen heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid this is not appropriate. Although the Thunder Clan has declined, it is still the Thunder Clan. They were known as one of the Four Great Royal Clans of the past. Their pride still exists. It is not appropriate to let them join other powers and become a branch.
"What's wrong with that? As long as they can grow stronger, who cares if they become a branch?" said Wang Shan indifferently.
