Chapter 1553

Those who came back alive from the Underworld had a huge amount of lucky points.

Even though the old man had increased the price of the lucky points by ten times, they were still able to buy a lot of good stuff.

When Man Shi and the rest left, the old man had personally given them some compensation. Therefore, during the process of seclusion, they were constantly stimulating their powerful bloodline and comprehending the inheritance that was truly suitable for them.

It could be said that they were like higher life forms, stimulating their own potential. During the process, their realms would naturally increase.

When Man Shi finished his seclusion and walked out of the cultivation room, he was also at the fifth-stage Domain realm.

A strong aura surged around him. In the past fifty years, his Mountain Spirit Body had improved greatly. In the end, he had even comprehended his own Mountain Spirit Law.

Two months later, Wu Xie and Dong Qing came out of seclusion one after another. As expected, both of them had broken through to the fifth-stage Domain Realm.

Wu Xie looked increasingly evil. His Immortal Body had been completely stimulated. Now, it would be extremely difficult for anyone to kill Wu Xie who had the Immortal Body.

Dong Qing had become a true Beast Tamer. Her spiritual senses were as strong as the sea, surging and surging. She could completely defeat those of the same level.

The four of them came out of seclusion one after another and gathered together. Surprisingly, their words were in agreement. The first place for the competition was Zi Chen's. No one could take it away.

This was the only way they could hope to see Zi Chen return.

Since their realms had increased by several levels, they were looking forward to meeting Zi Chen.

As for the twins, they had not come out of seclusion yet. However, the two of them had obviously lost the qualification to participate in this competition. Because it was a Grand Competition, the Array Masters would not be given time to set up the array. Therefore, in a one-on-one battle, the Array Masters would be at a disadvantage.

Shangguan Hong went home to accompany her parents. The other three were stabilizing their realms and familiarizing themselves with the combat power after breaking through.

Soon, two months passed. There was still half a year before the Grand Competition.

According to Mu Feng, he wanted everyone to head to the Shuntian Prefecture in advance to familiarize themselves with the environment there. However, he was rejected by Wu Xie. According to Wu Xie, he didn't want to see those ugly faces so soon.

There was still a month before the Grand Competition. Wu Xie's group of four took the five entry tokens and set off.

In every major city of the Shuntian Prefecture, there was a Teleportation Array. This Teleportation Array was only accessible to those in the Domain Realm. It led directly to various places in the one hundred and eight cities.

However, not everyone could activate a teleportation array just because they wanted to. The prerequisite for teleportation was that both teleportation arrays had to be activated.

In the entire Shuntian Prefecture, only the number one city, Shuntian City, had a transmission array that led directly to the Shuntian Prefecture. Therefore, the four people's first stop was Shuntian City.

As the brilliance of the teleportation formation surged, the four people who were responsible for the entire Huping City disappeared.

After appearing, the four of them arrived at the number one city of Shuntian Prefecture, Shuntian City.

The Spirit Qi in this city was much denser than in Huping City. Occasionally, there would be sparkling and translucent rainbow-colored crystals floating in the sky above the city. Those were Spirit Qi Crystals.

There was an old man standing next to the teleportation array. As soon as the four of them appeared, the old man stepped forward and asked, "May I ask if you are here to participate in the competition?"

Wu Xie took out the token in his hand and said politely, "Yes. Senior, where are we going next?"

"Where are you from, young friend?" the old man asked again.

"Huping City," Wu Xie said.

There was a hint of surprise in the old man's eyes. He looked at the four of them again and said with a kind smile, "So, you are friends from Huping City. My Young Master specially told me that if you are from Huping City, you can look for him first."

Wu Xie asked, "May I know who your Young Master is?"

The old man said proudly, "Shuntian Dao."

"Oh, then please lead the way, senior."

In the Domain Prefecture, Zi Chen had a very good relationship with several Titled Sovereigns. Wu Xie and the others were not bad either. It would be good to meet Shuntian Dao in Shuntian City.

Under the old man's lead, Wu Xie and the other three people arrived at a magnificent castle. The castle was like a palace, solemn and dignified. Everywhere they passed, there was a sentry every three steps and a sentry every five steps. Moreover, there were all Domain Realm experts stationed there.

This castle was even bigger than the Hunter's Castle in Huping City. Man Shi asked curiously, "What is this castle? Is it the Hunter's Castle?"

The old man smiled and said, "Young friend, you are very humorous. How can this be the Hunter's Castle? This is just my Young Master's residence."

When the four of them heard this, they sucked in a breath of cold air.

Shuntian Dao's residence alone was bigger than the Hunter's Castle in Huping City. The difference between the two was too great.

When they arrived at the depths of the castle, the four people heard hearty laughter before they could enter a hall.

The old man stood outside the hall and said respectfully, "Young Master, the people from Huping City are here."

"Oh, they are here."

Shuntian Dao stopped laughing and came to the front of the hall. When he saw that there were only four people, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. In the end, he did not make it.

However, Shuntian Dao quickly smiled and said, "We have been waiting for you for a long time. You are finally here. Come in quickly."

The four people did not stand on ceremony and walked straight into the hall.

The decorations in the hall were not luxurious. The furnishings inside looked simple and natural. When they arrived at the hall, there were other people sitting there and chatting.

When the four of them arrived, the others also looked at them one after another, their eyes filled with undisguised curiosity.

After all, the biggest beneficiary of the trip to the Manor Realm was Huping City.

The city's ranking rose by dozens of places.

During this time, many forces were not convinced and went to Shuntian Prefecture to reason. It was unreasonable for the city's ranking to rise by dozens of places.

It was also at that time that they learned about what Huping City's Zi Chen had done in the Manor Realm. They were shocked.

After learning about the battle in the Nether Realm from others, everyone was in disbelief.

That was because it was clearly an impossible mission, but Zi Chen had done it.

The battle seemed to have no chance of winning, but not only did Zi Chen win, but he also minimized the losses.

Apart from Zi Chen, the other people in Huping City were also very famous.

Wu Xie had vertical pupils and looked very evil. He followed behind Shuntian Dao.

Man Shi had a tall stature, and the contours of his muscles were obvious. He walked with steady steps, like a moving mountain.

Shang Guan Hong and Dong Qing were at the back of the group. Both of them had their own merits, and were equally matched in terms of looks and looks.

While everyone was sizing up Wu Xie and the other three people, the four of them also looked forward and immediately saw some familiar people.

There was the Fortune Teller who was actually young but looked like a middle-aged man. There was Hidden Fog who did not look much younger than the Fortune Teller. There was Dark Mantle who wore a black robe and had a pair of blood-red eyes. There was Jin Qingcheng who was wearing a golden robe and had a gorgeous appearance.

Since Jin Qingcheng was here, there was naturally the annoying Ye Ming.

Apart from Ye Ming, the other familiar people immediately had joy on their faces when they saw the four of them. They all went up to greet them.

The atmosphere, which was already lively, became even livelier because of the four of them.

Seeing Jin Qingcheng, who had always been serious, hug Shangguan Hong and Dong Qing with a smile at the moment, Ye Ming could not help but think of that person. He was furious.

Subsequently, he said in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, I didn't expect all of you to have improved so much in just a few decades. I really don't know what kind of bullsh * t luck you have."

Wu Xie glanced at Ye Ming. The latter's words were harsh, but there was clearly surprise in his eyes that could not be erased. He was not angry. Instead, he smiled faintly and said, "I've made a great contribution in the Manor World and gained a great advantage. Fortunately, my cultivation level has increased. If it weren't for the start of the battle, I really planned to break through to the Ninth Domain before coming out of closed-door cultivation."

Wu Xie had a regretful expression on his face as he spoke.

How could Ye Ming believe what Wu Xie said? There was disdain in his eyes immediately as he said in disdain, "You're boasting shamelessly. Do you think you're worthy of the Ninth Domain? There are five spots for the battle this time. Why are there only four people from Huping City here? Could it be that you can't find a fifth person? That's why the four of you are here to embarrass yourselves."

Man Shi glanced at Ye Ming and said in a low, muffled voice, "I'm the fifth person. Our first person, Zi Chen, isn't here yet."

Ye Ming was stunned when he heard that. His expression changed, and he lost his composure as he said, "Didn't Zi Chen die long ago? Why is there a spot?"

Ye Ming would definitely lose his composure when Zi Chen was mentioned because he had embarrassed himself too much in front of Zi Chen.

Shangguan Hong said coldly, "Even if you, Ye Ming, die ten times, Zi Chen won't die even once."

Ye Ming did not fall out with Shangguan Hong in front of everyone. He merely smirked and said, "It's been so many years since we last met. Shangguan Hong, you're still so infatuated. It's unfortunate that the person you're infatuated with is dead. You're still so devoted to a dead person. I really pity you."

Shangguan Hong glanced at Ye Ming in disdain, but she did not bother to talk to him anymore.

Dong Qing did not want to be outdone. He smiled softly and said, "We firmly believe that Zi Chen isn't dead. It doesn't matter if you believe it or not. Oh yeah, didn't you say that you're going to marry Qingcheng when we left the Manor Realm? Are you two married? Why are you standing so far away? Could it be that you think you're not good enough for Qingcheng? Is that why you didn't dare to mention marriage because you're ashamed?"

That hit Ye Ming's sore spot. After he returned, he was really angry about what happened in the Manor Realm. He went to the Jin Clan to propose marriage with 25% sincerity and 85% anger.

He was very sincere when he went, but he did not see Jin Qingcheng. According to the Jin Clan, Jin Qingcheng went into closed-door cultivation as soon as she returned. The Jin Clan seemed to be dissatisfied with him as well. Their attitude was neither cold nor warm, which almost drove Ye Ming crazy.

Ye Ming had almost become a joke in Golden Leaf City now.

"Dong Qing, it's good that you and I know this. Why do you have to say it in front of so many people? Who is Ye Ming? How can he be good enough for Qingcheng? Even if Qingcheng is going to marry someone, she should marry someone as responsible as Zi Chen," Shangguan Hong mocked.

Heaven-Calculating Dao and the others laughed.

Ye Ming was furious and wanted to attack immediately.
