Chapter 255

The gathering of geniuses that occurred once every hundred years was considered a grand event in the southern region. All the geniuses from the seven major cities and three major sects would participate.

It could be described as a gathering of geniuses, a gathering of monsters, and a gathering of outstanding geniuses.

Of course, there was no lack of sparring and competition. Friendship came first and competition came second.

"The gathering of geniuses."

Zi Chen was slightly startled after hearing the news, but he did not stay for a second longer and was about to leave.

What did the gathering of geniuses have to do with him? It had nothing to do with a single Primary Stone Fragment. His life was more important now.

However, the news caused an uproar in the outside world.

The rogue cultivators who knew about the gathering of geniuses were even more shocked.

Apart from the fact that the gathering of geniuses was taking place, they were even more shocked by the timing of the gathering.

It was held once every hundred years and had been held for generations. However, it was different this time. It had not even been a hundred years since the gathering of geniuses had started.

At most, it had only been ninety years.

The gathering of geniuses was ten years away. This had never happened before. However, this gathering of geniuses seemed to be a little unusual.

While the news caused an uproar, an even more shocking news appeared. The three major sects of the seven major cities had issued a joint statement, inviting Zi Chen to participate.

The southern region was vast and boundless. Many cultivators would not be able to travel through it in their lifetime. Even those who could fly could only travel within a radius of a million miles around the seven major cities.

However, there was no doubt that the three major sects of the seven major cities represented the strongest forces within a million miles. They were also the rulers.

At this moment, these forces had issued a joint statement, inviting Zi Chen to participate in the gathering of geniuses. This was a great honor. It was the first time in ten thousand years that something like this had happened. Who would have thought that it would be given to Zi Chen.

A few years ago, the geniuses of the younger generation were extremely popular. However, in the past two years, Zi Chen had appeared out of nowhere and caused the other forces to lose face.

The Martial Ancestor, the Cang Family, the Li Family, the Wang Family, and the Heavenly Slaughter Pavilion were all forces that had dealt with Zi Chen before. Not only that, the Cang and Li Families, as well as the Martial Ancestor, were repeatedly slapped in the face by Zi Chen.

The experts of the three forces were all out, but none of them could do anything to Zi Chen.

Therefore, no one could give an accurate conclusion as to who was the strongest among the younger generation. However, if one were to talk about who was the most famous, it would naturally be Zi Chen. If one were to vote for the most popular person, Zi Chen was definitely worthy of the title.

He had been accompanied by miracles throughout his journey. When he was in the True Energy Realm, he was hunted down by the Imperial Air Realm. He was chased all the way until he reached the True Energy Realm. Yet, he was still alive. Putting aside his strength, his ability to survive was something that none of the freaks could compare to.

If they were in the same situation, they would not dare to say that they would survive. However, not only was Zi Chen alive, but his strength was also increasing. In just a few years, he had broken through from the True Energy Realm to the True Energy Realm. Such a cultivation speed made others blush with shame.

After the various forces jointly sent out the invitations, the crowd was in an uproar. Only then did they understand why the gathering of geniuses was held ten years earlier. It was all for Zi Chen.

"They clearly know that Zi Chen has enmity with the various major forces, yet they still invited him. Could it be that they want to resolve the enmity for Zi Chen?"

"Could it be that the major forces have taken pity on him and want to protect Zi Chen?"

All sorts of guesses were made.

"Zi Chen, no matter the outcome of the battle at the Decapitating Chen Stage, all enmity will be written off." Li Hao spoke once again. His tone was strong, and his pride soared.

This time, no one looked down on him. Many people fell into deep thought.

"I, Cang Meng, will also wait for you at the Decapitating Chen Stage. As long as you dare to appear, after the battle, all enmity will be written off." Cang Meng spoke in a similarly high-profile manner.

"The same goes for my Martial Ancestor." Wu Yuan spoke as well.

The three monstrous geniuses of the three major forces spoke once again. This time, no one looked down on them, no one mocked them, and no one thought that it was a trap. Everyone fell into deep thought.

"My Li Family is a major force. We will naturally do what we say. If we say that we will not pursue the matter, then we will not pursue the matter."

Just as the crowd was deep in thought, a senior member of the Li Family spoke. This time, he represented the Li Family and said such words.

"Oh my god, could it be that there is really a major force that has taken pity on Zi Chen and wants to protect him? Just a battle and all enmity will be written off."

The words of the Li Family shook the world.

"Cultivators of our generation have always defied the heavens. The conflicts of the younger generation should be settled by the younger generation. After this battle, Zi Chen will no longer have any enmity with the Cang Family."

An elder of the Cang Family said such words in Cang Li City.

"That must be it. There is a major force that has taken pity on him. I wonder which force it is."

"Among the seven major cities and the three major sects, Zi Chen has had some conflicts with many forces. There are only a few forces left. Which one could it be?"

Everyone was guessing, and at the same time, they were waiting for the Martial Ancestor to speak.

Everyone knew that among the major forces, Zi Chen had the biggest conflict with the Martial Ancestor. The Martial Ancestor had destroyed the Nimbus Martial Ancestor, and sent someone to kill Zi Chen when he was still in the True Qi Realm. All of this was for the treasure in Zi Chen's hands.

This time, it seemed that there was a major force that had taken pity on Ye Futian. They wondered if the Martial Ancestor had bowed his head.

"My Martial Ancestor is the same. Once Zi Chen enters the battle stage, our enmity will be written off. From now on, I will not have any ideas about him."

Just as the crowd was anticipating, the Martial Ancestor, a powerful expert, said such words.

On this day, the world was in an uproar.

Zi Chen, who was the talk of the town, who had done many big things and humiliated the three major forces, actually wanted to use this method to resolve their enmity. It was just a battle.

For a moment, everyone's gossipy heart was ignited.

Who was the one that had taken pity on him?

Among the seven major cities, there was the Yunxia Wang Family, the Fluttering Snow Chu Family, the Cangli Two Families, the Yongqi Liu Family, the Lingyao Zhu Family, the Danyang Qin Family, and the Letian City.

The three major sects were the Martial Ancestor, the Assassins, and the Guangyue.

Zi Chen had enmity with five of the major forces, so only the other five were left.

"It's definitely not the Guangyue. The Guangyue Pavilion is full of women. Could it be that a female cultivator has taken a fancy to Zi Chen?"

"It can't be Letian City. It's the furthest from the Cangli City, and there is no major force in Letian City. Everyone is fighting for the position of City Lord. Who would pay attention to Zi Chen?"

"Then it can't be the other major forces. They are all so far away, and they have nothing to do with Zi Chen."

No matter how they thought about it, they could not figure out who was the one who wanted to protect Zi Chen.

"Could it be the Wang Family?"

"The Wang Family. They can't wait to kill him. That day, Zi Chen broke Wang Shan's teeth."

"I'm talking about the Miss of the Wang Family. I heard that when the Martial Ancestor was chasing after Zi Chen, Wang Xianer intervened. The two of them escaped together and seemed to have an ambiguous relationship."

Many people had heard about the matter between Zi Chen and Wang Xianer. Moreover, Wang Shan was extremely frightened that day and called Zi Chen his brother-in-law. This also caused many people to speculate. At this moment, everyone was guessing the relationship between Zi Chen and Wang Xianer.

There were even some people who were ignited with the flames of gossip. One must know that Wang Xianer was not only a demon, but also a beauty. Gossip about a beauty naturally couldn't be missed.

"Should I go or not?" Just as the group of cultivators were gossiping about him and Wang Xianer, Zi Chen was in a dilemma.

This was a great opportunity to bury the hatchet with these major forces. Naturally, there would be many benefits. Of course, the Martial Ancestor was not included. This was a sect that he had to annihilate.

All the major forces had jointly issued an invitation. Everyone felt that this was an honor. Only Zi Chen was frowning. This might be a trap. He was the person involved and had many things to think about.

"They want you to go to the Beheading Chen Platform. Just from the name, you can tell that they don't intend to let you live. If you die there, there won't be any conflict." Old Mo appeared from the Taiji Diagram.

"Since they made such a high-profile announcement, they naturally have strong confidence. Moreover, those three demons are insufferably arrogant and feel that they can kill you. If you die, the grudges will naturally be resolved."

"Die." Zi Chen lifted his head and looked at Ah Mo. He said, "Old Mo, do you think I'm not their match?"

"You have the Perfect Body and the Yin-Yang Art. As long as there are no problems with your Yin-Yang at the critical moment, you can still preserve your life. Your chances of winning are also 05%. However, are they really willing to let you go?" Ah Mo asked.

"Then what do they mean this time? All of them made such a high-profile announcement in front of the world. Also, why did the seven major forces and three major sects invite me?"

Ah Mo shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Perhaps some of the major forces really pity you and don't want a demon like you to die just like that."

"Then should I go or not?"

"If you go, your life will be in danger. Even if you kill the three demons, you might not be able to survive. You know the credibility of the three major forces best. If you don't go, you will only miss an opportunity and will not suffer any substantial losses. Furthermore, you have conflicts with the major forces now because you are too weak. As long as you become strong enough, all the conflicts will not be considered conflicts," Ah Mo analyzed.

"Then I won't go. Fate is still in my own hands. How can I use my life to gamble on the credibility of others?" Zi Chen stood up, his eyes flashing. He had already decided to leave.

"Let's go to Yongqi City." Zi Chen made up his mind.

However, the major forces seemed to have guessed Zi Chen's actions and spoke again.

"Zi Chen, we are sincerely inviting you. In the southern region, there are only seven major cities and three major sects. Don't worry, no one will do anything to you."

Another message came from Cangli City.

However, this time, it made Zi Chen frown. In the southern region, there were only seven major cities and three major sects. In other words, the seven major cities and three major sects had the final say here.

If Zi Chen rejected the invitation this time, he would indirectly offend all the major forces. In the future, the only way for Zi Chen to survive was to find a secluded valley and cultivate day and night. Perhaps thousands of years later, he would become an expert and intimidate all the major forces.

Perhaps in a few decades, Zi Chen would have no resources and his cultivation level would be slow. As a result, his lifespan would be nearing its end.
