Chapter 1554

Ye Ming's face turned pale from the two ladies' words. If he were to attack the two of them in front of so many people, Ye Ming would probably lose all of his dignity.

Now, he finally knew what would happen if he offended women.

There were a few strangers in the hall. They came from other cities that were ranked at the top, and they were all on level-0 Domain.

Since Shuntian Dao was there, Ye Ming shut his mouth sensibly. Otherwise, he would be humiliated if he continued to pester them.

Later on, apart from Ye Ming, who was upset, the rest chatted happily.

The servants served tea and snacks, and they chatted while eating. Halfway through, the fortune-teller asked, "Has Zi Chen returned to Huping City?"

The few of them shook their heads, and their expressions became unnatural.

The fortune-teller said in confusion, "That shouldn't be the case. My master did a divination for Zi Chen. He said that Zi Chen must be alive. Theoretically, he should've returned to Huping City a long time ago."

Man Shi looked at the fortune-teller and asked, "Your master did the divination. Is it accurate?"

The rest looked over almost instinctively when they heard Zi Chen's name. They could not help but shake their heads and laugh when they heard what Man Shi said.

The fortune-teller said while forcing a smile, "My master is the previous fortune-teller. He did the divination himself. Do you think it's accurate?"

The people seemed to have taken a tranquilizer as soon as he said that. Ye Ming looked rather terrible. The previous fortune-teller was almost like a living god. How could his words not count?

Never had he thought that Man Shi would shake his head again after thinking about it for a moment. "Your divination skill isn't that great to begin with. Like disciple, like master. Of course, I don't believe you. However, I believe in Zi Chen and that soul jade slip. He must be alive."

The people laughed out loud.

The fortune-teller smiled in an unconcerned manner.

At night, Shuntian Dao hosted a banquet. The people from the top five cities who were participating in the competition this time were all there. There were over 75 of them.

Unlike what the upper echelons of Huping City had guessed earlier, the cultivators who came this time, including those from Darkness City and Golden Leaf City, were all on level-0. They were not on level-1 as they had guessed earlier.

Of course, even if they were at the Fifth Heavenly Layer, their battle prowess was not any weaker than a Sixth Heavenly Layer.

After taking their seats, everyone looked at the four people from Hu Ping Cheng with astonishment on their faces.

Their city was ranked at the top and had a strong foundation. It was not difficult for them to push Ye Ming, the fortune-teller, and the rest to the fifth level.

However, what did Hu Ping City, which had just advanced, have?

They were actually able to push all four of them to the Fifth Layer of Heaven. This was very surprising.

During this time, Wu Xie asked about the doubts in his heart. Why didn't they send some Sixth Heavenly Layer cultivators?

One had to know that although these top ranked 0th Heavenly Layer cultivators were able to fight 1th Heavenly Layer cultivators, the 1th Heavenly Layer cultivators that were dispatched were naturally able to fight 2th Heavenly Layer cultivators.

Furthermore, since these people were chosen to participate in the competition, they were naturally all experts.

And this time, it was the gathering of the strongest under the seventh level of the entire Shuntian Prefecture.

This matter was still considered a secret to some of the other powers, but to the people present, it was not a big deal.

The fortune-teller said with a smile, "The competition this time is a little different from the past. It's said that before the competition, there will be a small test. Some of the powers that received the news in advance have sent out Fifth Domain cultivators."

"Test? What test?" Man Shi moved his head closer and asked curiously.

The fortune-teller shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't know at the moment."

Man Shi glared and said, "You don't even know how to calculate."

"I'm not sure. It's said that there will be an opportunity."

Man Shi chuckled and said, "It's good that there's an opportunity."

The group stayed at Shuntian Dao's place for three whole days. During these three days, they met some familiar faces one after another. Their cities were ranked at the top, and they were all Fifth Domain cultivators. Clearly, they had all received the news.

Three days later, the group left the castle and prepared to head to the mysterious Shuntian Prefecture.

Shuntian Prefecture was the most prosperous place in this area. It was also the paradise of all Domain cultivators.

Everyone, including Shuntian Dao, headed to Shuntian Prefecture.

After the competition, the final winner would undoubtedly be famous in Shuntian Prefecture.

Next, some experts would stay at Shuntian Prefecture. In the future, that would be the stage for them to display their skills.

The people of Shuntian City opened the transportation array to Shuntian Prefecture for the group. When the group stepped into the array, under a ruin hundreds of millions of miles away from Shuntian Prefecture, a young man who had been in a deep sleep for decades slowly opened his eyes.

The young man's eyes were lifeless when he opened them. After a while, he came back to his senses and his eyes flashed with a bright light.

"I'm not dead." His eyes flashed as he stood up and looked around.

He was surrounded by an empty space.

"Where is this?"

He looked around but couldn't find any familiar scene.

"I killed a Fifth Domain cultivator in the end. I couldn't suppress the alien power in my body any longer and it completely erupted. Did I survive another calamity?"

The young man turned around and saw the flashing Dragon Spike floating beside him. He put away the Dragon Spike and then remembered to sense the alien power in his body.

When he used his Spiritual Perception, the young man was surprised to find that the enormous alien power in his body had completely disappeared.

"Why is the alien power in my body gone? My cultivation level … How is this possible?"

Immediately after, the young man was stunned when he sensed his own cultivation level.

"The peak of the Fourth Domain Realm. My cultivation level has actually risen to the peak of the Fourth Domain Realm. What exactly happened during this period?"

While he was puzzled, a world appeared behind the young man. It was a Domain World with a radius of 15 miles. In this Domain World, there was sunlight, the five elements, and surging vitality. If you added in some other life forms, this would be a real world.

The young man was Zi Chen. He didn't know what had happened after he fainted, but based on his current senses, he knew that he had obtained a great opportunity.

Not only had the alien power in his body completely disappeared, but it had also perfectly fused with his body and his Domain World. When Zi Chen had been in the Domain Realm, he had felt a little awkward every time he opened his Domain World. It was as if the laws in it had clashed with each other. However, this time, as the Domain World behind Zi Chen opened, he could feel that all the powers could fuse together.

As long as he used his Spiritual Perception, Zi Chen's perfect Domain World would turn into a type of law, which was the Destruction Law.

Although he didn't know how these laws had fused with the Destruction Law, he could feel that the Destruction Law had become increasingly powerful.

Sensing the changes in his body, Zi Chen was no longer surprised. Instead, he calmed down and quietly sensed the changes in his body.

After a while, Zi Chen opened his eyes. He was very satisfied with the changes.

"You're only at the peak of the Fourth Domain Realm. Your cultivation level didn't increase that much." A cold but extremely pleasant voice suddenly sounded.

Zi Chen immediately turned around and saw the woman who had almost killed him.

She stood in the void, her white robes fluttering in the wind as she looked at Zi Chen indifferently.

"It's you." Zi Chen's expression changed slightly as he guessed something. He asked, "Senior, you saved me."

"Senior, what a strange name. I remember that you've always called me an old witch." The woman's lips curled up slightly, her eyes filled with mockery.

"How could that be?"

Zi Chen's face was extremely thick. He said, "Senior is as beautiful as a fairy. How could mere mortals like us casually judge you?"

Zi Chen had already recognized the reality. He was no match for this woman at all.

Moreover, this woman was the mute woman after her transformation. Although she was no longer a true mute woman, her sea of consciousness still contained all of the mute woman's memories.

This could be considered the mute woman's good fortune. There was no point for Zi Chen to be conflicted. Moreover, the reason why he could change so much was because of this woman. It could also be said that it was because of the mute woman.

"Thank you, senior." Zi Chen cupped his fists and thanked her sincerely.

The woman didn't feel grateful. She coldly glanced at Zi Chen and asked, "Am I really that old?"

Zi Chen was startled and looked up at her.

She could be considered one of the most beautiful women Zi Chen had ever seen. To be honest, she wasn't old at all. Guessing that she was very concerned about this question, Zi Chen immediately explained, "Senior is a form of respect for the strong."

"Forget about the form of respect." The woman lightly flicked her sleeve and said, "Now that you've broken through, you should leave."

Zi Chen naturally wanted to leave. However, after a slight hesitation, he asked, "May I ask … what plans does Fairy have after this?"

Ling Shuang was still very satisfied with this last-minute change in the way he addressed her as a fairy. She did not mind Zi Chen's little tricks, and said calmly, "Don't worry, after I awaken, I will not kill the innocent. Furthermore, the strange races are not as bloodthirsty as you think. There are still many who do not have a choice."

Zi Chen didn't say anything. This was the same as what he usually knew.

"When you're stronger, you'll naturally understand. Alright, hurry up and leave."

With a flash of brilliance, Zi Chen's figure disappeared into nothingness.

After Zi Chen left, the woman no longer acted high and mighty. Instead, she forcefully stomped the air and angrily said, "How can this broken place compare to the Sacred Planet? If there's a way to leave, who would want to stay here?"

When Zi Chen's figure returned to reality from nothingness, he found himself in a crowded place. As soon as he appeared, he heard the discussions around him.

"The Shuntian Prefecture's Domain Tournament has finally begun."

"Yeah, I wonder which force will be the champion this time."

"Is there a need to guess? Of course, it's the first city, Shuntian City."

"That's not necessarily true. I heard that last time, the fortune teller and Shuntian City were evenly matched. They were just a hair's breadth away from winning."

Hearing these discussions, Zi Chen was startled. "The Domain Tournament has begun."

After inquiring about the details of the Domain Tournament and learning that all the forces had arrived at Shuntian Prefecture, Zi Chen sped up and rushed there.
