Chapter 682

The grand opening ceremony began. With many forces as witnesses, the atmosphere of the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion reached a new peak.

Fireworks formed from energy exploded in the sky, dazzling the eyes, illuminating everyone's smiles with a myriad of colors.

For Zi Chen, this was an extremely important day. From this day onwards, he bid farewell to being a lone cultivator and became the leader of a force. He was now a member of a large force.

Zi Chen was no longer the lone cultivator Zi Chen or Zi Chen, but the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion, Zi Chen.

The atmosphere at the banquet was very lively. Everyone raised their cups and congratulated Zi Chen. On this happy day, Zi Chen drank a few more cups.

What was the most important thing for a force to expand?

Foundation.

Resources.

Experts.

Two days ago, they had seen that the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion possessed all three elements. Therefore, the rise of the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion in the future was inevitable. It was also certain that the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion would become the sixth overlord force. It was very likely that they would become the first overlord force in the Chaotic Lands.

The Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion was now rising and was far from its peak. Therefore, this was the time to curry favor and build good relationships.

Therefore, all the forces put down their pride and humbly befriended Zi Chen. In fact, they had already lost face because the overlords were even more humble. Moreover, intentionally or unintentionally, they kept mentioning Zi Chen's marriage.

Moreover, they were always kind enough to introduce young and beautiful girls to Zi Chen.

Regarding this, the Wang family and the Shangguan family were very dissatisfied. However, there was nothing they could do. These people would always mention the girls' age before introducing them.

"She's not even twenty this year. Perhaps she's just eighteen. She's already at the middle or late stage of Spiritual Origin."

This talent was definitely top-notch in the Barbarian Lands, and far surpassed Zi Chen, Tyrant, Xian Er, and everyone else. However, Zi Chen did not care about talent at all.

This was because he was not a very talented person. Moreover, along the way, he had already killed many people who were more talented than him.

Therefore, talent was not important. Survival was the most important thing.

At the banquet, Zi Chen, Wang Qiong, and Tyrant sat at the same table with the five Great Ancestors. As for Elder Gui, he didn't come. In his words, he didn't think he was qualified.

Not only did the five ancestors not have any complaints towards this, they felt extremely regretful in their hearts instead. This was the most basic right that the strong enjoyed in a world where the strong were respected. Merely the three large words outside the hall were sufficient to display Senior Gui's cultivation, and it made the five ancestors retreat and put down all face.

"Zi Chen, didn't you say that there's still a competition?" The Shangguan Clan's Old Ancestor asked as the atmosphere at the banquet heated up.

The other four also looked at Zi Chen.

Zi Chen smiled and said, "That's right, there was a battle."

Then, Zi Chen stood up and cleared his throat. The heated atmosphere in the hall became silent in the next moment. Everyone's eyes fell on Zi Chen, and many of the female cultivators' faces were filled with undisguised admiration.

A young Heavenly Warrior, who was only in the Flight Realm, had become a great force comparable to an overlord force. Moreover, he had many powerful geniuses who were no weaker than Heavenly Warriors. Such a miraculous person was enough to make anyone worship him.

"Hmph, have you never seen a man before?" At another table, Xian 'er, who was sitting with Yue' er, snorted coldly in her heart.

"Everyone, Zi Chen would like to thank everyone for coming here to attend the opening ceremony of the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion. Perhaps there were some disagreements between us in the past, but since everyone is here, it proves that our disagreements can be resolved. Therefore, Zi Chen would like to apologize for all the disagreements from before and drink a cup of wine as punishment."

After saying this, Zi Chen drank the wine in his cup and said, "From now on, we are all friends and allies."

The leaders of the various forces also stood up and drank the wine in their cups, forgetting their enmity with a smile.

In a world where the strong were respected, the words of the strong were the truth.

"Next, there will be a competition. If everyone is interested, you can send people to participate. The top three will receive gifts. As for the bottom seven, there will also be souvenirs," Zi Chen said.

"Pavilion Master Zi Chen, this is not appropriate. Everyone knows that your people are strong and can fight enemies above their level. There seems to be no doubt about the top three," a Primordial Dan cultivator said with a smile.

"That's right. Pavilion Master Zi Chen's subordinates are all capable fighters. This is not appropriate," everyone said with a smile on their faces.

The crowd roared with laughter. Zi Chen was the only one speaking, and the slightly quiet atmosphere instantly became lively.

Zi Chen waved his hand and smiled, saying, "This time, the people of the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion will not participate. Therefore, everyone must work hard and strive to enter the top ten."

Everyone laughed and began to send people. This time, they came prepared and each of them brought a genius in flight. As for the Primordial Dan cultivators, it did not seem appropriate for them to compete on this occasion.

"Pavilion Master Zi Chen, where will the competition be held? Will it be here?" Someone asked.

"It will be in the square outside the hall. Everyone, follow me. As for the banquet, it will be moved there."

Soon, a group of cultivators came to clean up, while Zi Chen and his group arrived outside the hall first.

At this moment, 63 pill weapons were placed on both sides of the square. They were the 63 Good Grade pill weapons refined by the Liu family.

"If you don't have suitable weapons, you can choose to use the pill weapons here. However, this is a competition, so the main thing is to make it lively. It's best that you don't use too much force to avoid hurting the harmony." Zi Chen looked at the cultivators in front of him who were ready to participate in the competition.

Almost all of these cultivators were female cultivators, and they were all beautiful. When they looked at Zi Chen at a close distance, they had all kinds of admiration on their faces.

With such undisguised expressions, Zi Chen was a little overwhelmed. After briefly explaining the rules, he signaled for the competition to begin.

Since it was a battle of flight, the Primordial Dan cultivators were enough to be the judge. After Zi Chen returned to his seat, the competition began.

They seemed to have come prepared. In the previous few battles, they flew with pill weapons in their hands, so they did not need the weapons Zi Chen provided.

The battle of flight was quite exciting. Gorgeous lights flashed in the sky, and explosions were heard. Moreover, most of the competitors were female cultivators who were very beautiful, so they attracted a lot of attention.

The competition progressed quickly. After knowing that they were no match for the opponent, they admitted defeat. Because it was not a battle of life and death, and because there were many female cultivators, there was no need to take it seriously.

After four battles in a row, the fifth person to fight was also a female cultivator. It was unknown whether she was not prepared, or she felt that the pill weapon provided by Zi Chen was extraordinary, but she directly picked up a long sword.

Her opponent was a genius in flight, but he was a man. This was one of the eight forces, so they did not think much before coming.

Both sides went up to the stage and began to fight. Their pill weapons clashed continuously, and all kinds of clanging sounds were heard. After a while, the battle was quite intense.

As the battle progressed, it seemed that the male cultivator was stronger. However, after the first round of attacks, when the two retreated to prepare for the second round of attacks, a cry of surprise came from afar.

Everyone's gaze fell on the male cultivator. To be precise, they were looking at the pill weapon in his hand. That pill weapon was actually chipped by the long sword.

"Heavens, the pill weapon is damaged."

"It's also a pill weapon. Even if the long sword's quality is higher, it should not have damaged the pill weapon."

Many Primordial cultivators' expressions changed. Seeing this, the Primordial Dan cultivator of the Liu Family was secretly happy. It was rare for him to despise his opponent. "Tsk, your pill weapon is called a pill weapon. What kind of trash is that?"

The second round of battle began. The female cultivator's strength was not high, but she relied on the pill weapon in her hand to make the chipping of her opponent's pill weapon bigger. If the battle continued, the pill weapon would definitely be destroyed.

Helpless, her opponent could only admit defeat.

After winning, the female cultivator reluctantly returned the long sword to its original position. Obviously, even a fool could see that these 63 pill weapons were extraordinary.

The cultivators who went up next naturally did not use their own pill weapons. Instead, they chose to fight with these 63 pill weapons.

"These 63 pill weapons are indeed extraordinary."

"Look at the materials, they are not much better than our pill weapons. However, the refinement skills are superb."

After personally witnessing the power of the pill weapons, everyone sighed in their hearts.

Hearing the praises around him, the cultivator of the Liu Family was secretly happy. However, he did not dare to admit that these pills were refined by his family.

As a major power in the land of barbarians, they might be a little muddle-headed usually. However, when it came to their own interests, they would definitely look far ahead. They understood the principle of 'possessing a jade ring becomes a crime' better than anyone else.

Moreover, back then, Zi Chen was chased by so many forces because he was too weak and took something that he should not have.

As the battle continued, the eyes of the major powers shifted. They no longer looked at the contestants, but at the weapons.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Zi Chen smiled faintly and said, "Everyone, you have to work hard. There are pill weapons like these in the top three rewards."

Zi Chen's words naturally moved many people. Moreover, many people regretted that they would have fought harder if they had known that there would be such a reward.

Hearing Zi Chen's words, Shangguan Bing Xi was also very moved. He pulled Yue Er and wanted to join the battle. "There are pill weapons as a reward? Then let's go too."

"You two are Dan Primary cultivators. You can't join the battle," someone said from the side.

"What's wrong with that? We can just suppress our cultivation level," Shangguan Bing Xi said.

Originally, he wanted to attract the attention of the other forces to prepare for the future auction. However, Shangguan Bing Xi was moved. Zi Chen quickly said, "You two can't join."

"Why?"

"Dan Primary cultivators can't join."

"We can suppress our cultivation level."

"No, there is no such thing as suppressing one's cultivation level."

"Then I want a reward." Shangguan Bing Xi was a little unreasonable.

"Okay, no problem." Zi Chen agreed.

"I want the same reward as this pill weapon." Shangguan Bing Xi said again.

Such a scene attracted the attention of the crowd. Seeing Zi Chen's helpless expression, the crowd was happy to watch the show. As for the Shangguan Clan, there was even less need to criticize them, because the things that the two of them wanted were naturally theirs.

"I have prepared something better than this for you. If you insist on wanting a pill weapon, there is no harm in giving it to you," Zi Chen said.

"Is that so? Then I don't want it."

Shangguan Bing Xi pulled Yue Er back and said with a smile, "I forgot. You are so good to Sister Xian Er. You must be good to Sister Yue Er."

Hearing this, Zi Chen was speechless.

The faces of the Shangguan Clan members were full of pride.
