"Although their methods are bizarre, they are just a bunch of cowards afraid of death, just like us."
"..."
For the first time, Chen Jiuyang felt that his strength was still weak even after ascending to the Heavenly Realm.
The armless middle-aged man said, "The spiritual rain has fallen, and the golden age is about to arrive. You must strive to improve your strength to protect yourself in the brief years to come."
"Overcoming the first tribulation is your immediate priority."
"..." Chen Jiuyang didn't even know what this first tribulation was, let alone how to overcome it.
He hadn't been standing there for long.
"Dada da!"
Urgent footsteps sounded. Several disabled people were seen carrying Monk Puhui, Chen Biandao, and Elder Han at high speed, then throwing these three before the armless middle-aged man.
The armless middle-aged man said, "I'm leaving. You should go too."
After speaking, the armless middle-aged man quickly left with the other disabled people.
"Amitabha," Monk Puhui said, "This trip has caused trouble for benefactor Chen."
Chen Jiuyang said, "It's nothing. I owed you a great favor before. You sent a young monk to notify me to save you, so how could I not help?"
Monk Puhui looked astonished and said, "This old monk did not send a disciple to invite benefactor Chen."
Immediately, both of them frowned deeply.
Chen Jiuyang had been tricked.
What was the purpose?
Chen Jiuyang said in a deep voice, "Let's talk outside. This forbidden area is too terrifying."
"Alright."
The other three nodded one after another.
Then they quickly rushed out of the forbidden forest of the Disabled Elder Village, crossed the river, and returned to the Qinghai Province. Only then did the four of them breathe a sigh of relief.
The trip to the Disabled Elder Village in one day was more enriching than anything Chen Jiuyang had seen in his more than twenty years of life.
Seeing Chen Jiuyang rush out, some people's eyes flashed with a sharp glint, revealing a terrifying smile that made one's heart palpitate.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
Chen Jiuyang notified a helicopter to pick them up. Before long, a helicopter flew from the nearby Qinghai Province military base and took Chen Jiuyang and the other three away, returning to Qingzhu Town in Feng Province.
On the plane.
Chen Jiuyang asked Monk Puhui, "What were you looking for in this forbidden area?"
"Amitabha," Monk Puhui said, "I saw ancient records in a temple that the forbidden area of Disabled Elder Village possessed Buddhist teachings that could make this old monk transcend and become a saint."
"After seeing the true Buddha, this old monk was unwilling to spend the rest of his life like this, so he couldn't help but come here. Fortunately, he gained something."
Currently, within the Dragon Country, there were Kings who had ascended to the Heavenly Realm, as well as Chen Jiuyang's spiritual domain, and immortal techniques...
Chen Jiuyang nodded slowly and said, "This journey home might not be peaceful. Everyone, be prepared."
The others nodded slowly.
Chen Biandao said, "It seems someone deliberately led Jiuyang to the Disabled Elder Village."
Elder Han narrowed his eyes and said, "The Disabled Elder Village, one of the nine forbidden areas, is so dangerous and terrifying. It seems to be outside the jurisdiction of the Dragon Country's destiny and its sword-wielders. Could it be that those who secretly want to deal with Jiuyang want to eliminate him using the forbidden area?"
Chen Jiuyang said lightly, "If that were the case, their calculations would have failed."
After this trip, Chen Jiuyang knew very well that the Heavenly Realm was not the ceiling of the Dragon Country's combat power.
The major aristocratic families had Grand Elders in the Venerable Realm, and the five great sacred lands were guarded by Emperors. Although they only visited the Disabled Elder Village among the nine forbidden areas, they could infer from this that the other eight forbidden areas were also not easy to deal with.
Chen Jiuyang looked at Monk Puhui and said, "You once said I would face three disasters and nine tribulations. I have already overcome three tribulations. Is the first disaster about to descend?"
"Amitabha," Monk Puhui said, "Benefactor Chen is now the King of Qian in the Dragon Country. His fate is in constant flux. Even after years of studying the Book of Changes, this old monk dares not to divine Chen benefactor's fate anymore."
"Otherwise, the backlash of the national destiny would cause this old monk to die on the spot."
"Oh." Chen Jiuyang said no more.
This trip to the Disabled Elder Village was brief and uneventful.
In the middle of the night, the helicopter arrived at Qingzhu Town.
His family had already gone to bed.
Chen Jiuyang observed this world full of modern industry, and then thought back to the scenes in the forbidden area. It truly felt like a different world.
After getting off the plane, Chen Jiuyang saw someone unexpected.
"Greetings, Ancestor!"
Chen Biandao shouted at the young-looking man.
Chen Jiuyang also cupped his fists lightly and said, "Greetings, Ancestor Chen Fengge."
The man before him, dressed in magnificent robes, with a youthful appearance but an unfathomable aura, was the Venerable Realm ancestor of the Shu Mountain Chen family, Chen Fengge.
Chen Fengge sized up Chen Jiuyang and said with a smile, "Not bad, not bad. True King Heavenly Realm, peak combat power, sword shattering heavenly tribulation, very arrogant, hahaha! You bring great honor to our Chen family!"
"You are truly the Qilin Son of my Chen family."
Chen Jiuyang smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your praise, Ancestor."
Chen Fengge said, "There isn't much time left. I, your ancestor, have come from Longjing to prepare to take you to Longjing to prepare for the Martial Ranking World Championship."
"Have you been to Shu Mountain Sacred Land?"
"Yes."
"What level has your cultivation reached?"
Chen Jiuyang said, "Heavenly Realm third layer."
The outside world didn't know that Chen Jiuyang had improved his martial cultivation to the third layer of the Heavenly Realm within half a month of going to Shu Mountain Sacred Land. Such a shocking rate of improvement, if exposed, would stun many people.
Currently, many people in the outside world still believed that Chen Jiuyang possessed the innate Dao foundation physique and that after ascending to the Heavenly Realm, he would be like ordinary people, unable to improve his cultivation quickly.
"Hahahaha!" Chen Fengge laughed heartily and said, "Good! Excellent! Excellent!"
"If it continues like this, and you achieve good results in the Martial Ranking World Championship, you should have a chance to break through to the Venerable Realm before the age of fifty!"
A Venerable Realm before the age of fifty would be a world-renowned prodigy throughout all of history, the present, and the future!
It could only be said that Chen Jiuyang not only had great talent but also abundant luck, making him unstoppable.
In the following days, Chen Jiuyang spent some time with his women at home, and then flew with Chen Fengge to Longjing.
To prepare for the Martial Ranking World Championship!
In late April, with less than a month left, the world-renowned Martial Ranking World Championship would begin.
The Dragon Country's weakness for thousands of years might finally achieve a brilliant result this time, making the Dragon Country strong in both immortal and martial arts!
Truly shedding its status as a weak nation.
Whether a great nation is strong depends on its military might.
The experiences the Dragon Country had suffered over the past few centuries, being suppressed by powerful nations, had left a knot in the heart of every Dragon Country citizen.
Sixty years ago, King Yan turned the tide. At that time, the Dragon Country had only one King Yan, who single-handedly deterred all directions, preventing many from acting rashly.
After sixty years of recuperation, this Martial Ranking World Championship saw the Dragon Country send ten Heavenly Realm contestants! And the Dragon Country's King of Qian, who amazed the world at the Asian Martial Ranking Competition!
On this matter, the Immortal and Martial realms worked together, which allowed the Martial Ranking contestants the opportunity to improve their strength in the sacred lands.
This time, for the Martial Ranking competition, they must roar that one sentence!
It's our turn to take the stage!
