Chapter 1560

Zi Chen picked up the diamond-shaped crystal and sized it up.

This crystal was larger than the others. When he probed it with his spiritual senses, he found a route engraved on it. However, the end of the route was broken, like a fragment that needed to be pieced together. It was not complete.

Zi Chen was a little confused.

He began to return to the place where the four of them were refining the sources of power.

As for Zi Chen himself, he threw all the power contained in the two sources of power into his own world.

In Zi Chen's Domain World, there was a pool formed by the sources of power. In the center of the pool, a Void Tree took root in the void. Its roots extended to the source of power and began to absorb and refine the power.

Seeing the four of them, Zi Chen showed the diamond-shaped fragment to them. Seeing the broken route, the four of them naturally did not understand.

After refining the sources of power, the five of them decided to go to the place where the diamond-shaped crystal pointed.

Because they had refined many sources of power, Zi Chen's advantage was slowly slipping away.

…

…

This was a dense forest. Thousands of miles away from the forest, at the end of the forest, a faction had appeared.

There were five people in this force, led by a young leader in armor. He suddenly stopped and took out a rather large diamond-shaped crystal. Looking ahead, he said in surprise, "Why is there no path?"

The others were startled and went forward to check. Sure enough, the route on the diamond-shaped crystal stopped here.

"Is there another restriction?"

After that, the five of them looked around for any suspicious places. However, after searching for 60 minutes, they found nothing.

Just as the five of them were about to leave in disappointment, they saw another team coming out of the forest.

When the two sides met, they were wary of each other. Both sides had the same number of people and were at the Sixth Heaven of the Domain Realm.

However, the leader of the later force was a small realm lower than the leader of the opposite force.

They stopped far away, and the leader held a diamond-shaped crystal of the same size in his hand.

After seeing the five people in front of him, he put away the diamond-shaped crystal vigilantly and stared at the five people in front of him.

The two forces stared at each other without saying a word.

The silence was broken by the other forces. The leader cupped his fists and said, "I am Yan Ji from Yanbo Castle. May I ask where you are from?"

Yanbo Castle had been killed by the people of Huping City in the Prefecture World, and its ranking had dropped by ten places.

"Oh, so you're from Yanbo Castle. We're from Huaiyuan City. I'm Wu Chengde." The leader of Huaiyuan City cupped his fists and replied.

Huaiyuan City was ranked 03th among the 653 cities in Shuntian Prefecture, much higher than Yanbo Castle. However, Wu Chengde's tone was very polite.

"Since you came first, friend, we'll go by first come, first served. Friend, please go ahead. I'll take my leave now." Flamepole once again clasped his hands in salute, then turned to leave.

"Wait." Wu Chengde waved his hand.

"What? Could it be that the few of you want to fight?"

Yan Ji's gaze instantly turned cold. The auras of the other four surged as they prepared for battle.

Both sides were at sixth-stage Domain, so there was not much difference between their realms. If they really fought, no one would be afraid of the other.

Obviously, everyone had grasped the loophole in Mo Ling's words. As long as they did not fight to the death, they could still fight and rob each other.

"Brother Yan, you've misunderstood. I have a doubt in my mind, and I'd like to ask you to verify it." Wu Chengde walked forward, waving his hand to signal the other four not to follow him.

"What do you want to ask, Brother Wu?" Surprise flashed in Yan Ji's eyes, and his expression softened.

"Brother Yan, may I ask if your rhombus-shaped crystal was cut off here?" Wu Chengde asked directly.

Yan Ji looked at Wu Chengde, who smiled faintly without any malice. After pondering for a moment, Yan Ji nodded and said, "That's right. The route was forcefully stopped here."

"As I expected." Wu Chengde heaved a sigh of relief.

"What do you mean?" Yan Ji did not understand.

"If I'm not wrong, the diamond-shaped crystal in our hands should be a part of the route. Only when we put them together will we have the complete route." Wu Chengde did not hide anything.

Yan Ji immediately understood. He had encountered such a situation before, so he was not surprised. He then asked, "If that's the case, Brother Wu, if you trust me, can you take out the crystals and compare them?"

Wu Chengde naturally would not refuse. Two diamond-shaped crystals of the same size could be put together. However, there were only two of them, so there was nothing to see.

The two of them put away the crystals. Yan Ji said, "Now we can only wait patiently."

"That's right. I just hope they can come soon."

Without any conflict of interest, the two forces had become partners. Therefore, the atmosphere between them was less tense, and they chatted happily.

An hour later, the third force arrived.

The third force was also vigilant when they first arrived. However, after Wu Chengde took the initiative to express his goodwill and compared the diamond-shaped crystals, the three forces gradually became familiar with each other and waited quietly for the others to arrive.

They had gathered three diamond-shaped crystals, but they were still not complete. According to the empty space, there should be two more crystals.

This time, they waited for a full two hours before the carrier of the fourth crystal arrived.

The other party was the 06st ranked force, Qi Li City.

The four forces gathered and after greeting each other, they began to put the diamond-shaped crystals together. The front and back were the same size, and only the last crystal was left to complete the map.

Among the four forces, Qi Li City was undoubtedly ranked the highest. The leader, Li Luo, looked at the others with a hint of arrogance.

However, if they were to fight, no one was afraid of each other. This was because the people who came were all at the 1th stage Domain Realm. They were the strongest under the rules of the competition.

"I wonder which force got the last crystal."

"It's been so long since they came. I'm not sure if they got it or not."

Everyone chatted, and the content was all about the crystals. As for other things, they did not mention a single word.

However, when Li Luo arrived, his expression was full of arrogance. He went straight to Yanbo Castle's sore spot. "I heard that Yanbo Castle's ranking in the Domain Realm dropped by ten places because of Hu Pingcheng, who was at the end of the ten thousand years. I wonder if it's true."

This was a humiliation to Yanbo Castle. Mentioning it again was equivalent to slapping them in the face. However, Yanji did not look unhappy. He just smiled faintly and admitted, "That's right. We were careless back then and suffered quite a bit."

Just as everyone was surprised by Yanji's honesty, Yanji changed the topic and said coldly, "However, this time, we will not be careless. Those five from Hu Pingcheng will definitely pay the price."

Wu Chengde kindly reminded him, "I heard that Zi Chen can even suppress those titled. The four people beside him are not weak either. If they really fight, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with them."

Yanji smiled and said nonchalantly, "If we were at the same level, I would turn around and leave when I see the people from Hu Pingcheng. However, what level are they at now? The highest is only Level Five. There's nothing to be afraid of."

Li Luo said coldly with an arrogant expression, "If we meet, I'd like to see what the genius leader of the one hundred and eight cities is capable of. I wonder if he's as boastful as the outside world says."

Just like that, the four forces began to talk about Hu Pingcheng. There was no respect in their words at all.

Back then, Zi Chen had led 43 people. Hu Pingcheng had six people. Apart from that, there were also several people from the other cities that were ranked at the top.

Therefore, the leaders of the one hundred and eight cities that were mentioned by the outside world were not specific. This was because many forces were not qualified to participate.

Coincidentally, none of the four forces present had chosen an expert.

Therefore, they didn't believe the rumors that came after.

After waiting for a very, very long time, the fifth force finally arrived.

The people from the fifth force walked out of the dense forest. As the four forces turned around, they were all stunned when they saw the people who had arrived.

Back then, at the plaza outside Shuntian Prefecture, the five people from Hu Pingcheng had received a lot of attention.

At this moment, when they saw the fifth force, they recognized the five people at a glance.

Coincidentally, they were the five people that they had been talking about earlier.

"Eh? There are so many people. Are they waiting for us?" Man Shi exclaimed when he saw the four forces in front of him.

Zi Chen's gaze swept across the twenty people one by one. He said indifferently, "To be precise, they should be waiting for our diamond-shaped crystal."

As he spoke, Zi Chen took out the crystal.

He did not suppress his words. Everyone from the four forces heard him. Wu Chengde smiled and praised, "As expected of Zi Chen. You're really smart. That's right. We're waiting for the fifth force, and we're also waiting for the crystal. When the five pieces of crystal are put together, the real map will appear."

Zi Chen nodded and walked forward. Man Shi and the other three prepared to follow him. Zi Chen waved his hand and signaled them to stop.

Seeing Zi Chen walk forward alone, the leaders of the four forces also walked forward.

During this time, the two sides did not talk.

Zi Chen, who was walking forward, seemed to have sprained his ankle. His body swayed slightly.

Three of the four people's eyes flashed. They seemed a little nervous.

"I'm the only one missing. I think everyone has already discussed how to distribute it." Zi Chen was a little uncomfortable with the silent atmosphere. He took the initiative to speak.

"It's not really a discussion. It's just a gentleman's agreement. Each of us will take a share," said Li Kui.

"Gentleman. Not bad. I like this name. Moreover, the distribution is reasonable." Zi Chen smiled. His smile was somewhat meaningful.

After a short conversation, Zi Chen walked together with the four people.

The five people did not talk nonsense. They took out five pieces of crystal and put them together.

The five pieces of crystal successfully combined, bursting out a dazzling light.

The crystal slowly floated in the air, and the broken map began to connect.

The crystal stones were real, and the road map would be completed soon. Everyone let out a sigh of relief.

A cold light flashed in Yan Ji's eyes. He took the opportunity to attack Zi Chen's glabella.

Puff.

Zi Chen's glabella was pierced, and his body fell backward.
