Chapter 3246 – Zhelong County, White Tiger Gate
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed, and Wang Fengqi’s strength still had not improved much. The Limitless Sword in his hands seemed to have lost its soul. He could not even perform the first level of the sword path, the First Sword. That showed how dumb Wang Fengqi was…
Jiang Chen sighed inwardly. He really should not have listened to that little girl Feng Yan and taken on this utterly dumb disciple. Jiang Chen had known Wang Fengqi was dumb, but that his strength lay in his persistence and his unshakable tenacity. He had never expected him to be dumb to such a degree. It made even Jiang Chen want to beat his chest and stamp his feet.
The strength of the Limitless Sword lay in the fact that everyone understood the mysteries of the sword realm differently, so the terror of each sword they unleashed was all the harder to predict. The First Sword was only the beginning of the Limitless Sword. Breaking through the barrier of the Limitless Sword and comprehending the true Limitless Sword was a step that was extremely difficult for far too many people. In the end, Jiang Chen gave up on asking this guy to complete his transformation with the Limitless Sword in a short time.
That he was dumb and yet so matter-of-fact about it left Jiang Chen at a loss. But the Hundred Sects Conference had already arrived, so Jiang Chen could not be bothered to make a fuss with Wang Fengqi. The master leads you to the door, but the practice is up to you. He had already passed the Limitless Sword on to him. How much of its true meaning he could comprehend was anyone’s guess. Jiang Chen himself had comprehended it sword by sword. The power and mysteries of the Fifteenth Sword were no longer something ordinary people could understand. Even the Seventh Sword was impossible for Wang Fengqi to understand. There were far, far too many changes and mysteries in the realm of the sword. Even Jiang Chen could only be considered to have just glimpsed the door. It was because he understood the sword that he could keep breaking through the limits of the sword.
But looking at this burden of a disciple, Jiang Chen really did not know what to say. In the end he gave him a Peak Origin Divine Tool, as a small token of his feelings as his master.
When Wang Fengqi held a heavy ruler at the level of a Peak Origin Divine Tool in his hands, his heart seemed to sink. He had never seen a Peak Origin Divine Tool before. Even the head of his family only had a High Grade Origin Divine Tool. In the entire Banlan Boundary, there were probably not many people who owned such a terrifying divine tool. With this Peak Origin Divine Tool, his strength would surely rise. If he ran into Jun Luohua again, he would never be defeated so easily.
“Thank you, Master.”
Wang Fengqi’s eyes were full of excitement. This Peak Origin Divine Tool was nothing much to Jiang Chen, but to Wang Fengqi it was a truly priceless treasure.
Now Wang Fengqi was growing more and more curious about his master’s identity. Even the head of his family did not have such boldness, because he did not own a single Peak Origin Divine Tool himself, while his master could give one away casually. Such boldness was definitely not something an ordinary person could have. And his master was not taking part in the Hundred Sects Conference because he wanted to join the Fossil Sect. He only wanted to get into the Fossil Sect to have dealings with its people.
“Don’t let external things blind you. Don’t bring out this Origin Divine Tool unless you absolutely have to, unless you’re in a life-or-death situation. Bring it out when your strength reaches the Late Hierarch Realm. Otherwise, the common man is innocent, but the jade he carries is his crime. Sooner or later someone will come after you for it.”
Jiang Chen said.
“I will respectfully follow Master’s teaching!”
Wang Fengqi said gravely. He loved the heavy ruler, this Peak Origin Divine Tool, extremely much and could not bear to put it down. Jiang Chen had forged it personally. One could say it was made specially for Wang Fengqi. Although Jiang Chen was not very satisfied with this disciple, since they had met by chance, it was fate. In the future he might not be able to help much with Wang Fengqi’s cultivation, but by teaching him the Limitless Sword and giving him this heavy ruler, he had done all he could.
“If you get the chance to enter the Fossil Sect, your opportunities may be even greater. But when that time comes, don’t tell anyone that I’m your master either.”
Jiang Chen said calmly.
Wang Fengqi’s face changed, and he looked at Jiang Chen in some surprise.
“Why is that, Master?”
“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask, you blockhead.”
Feng Yan pinched Wang Fengqi from the side. Jiang Chen said nothing more, but Feng Yan had seen the gravity in Jiang Chen’s eyes. If he was not busy with something important, then he had many enemies. Otherwise, why would Jiang Chen be so wary? Feng Yan knew Jiang Chen was protecting Wang Fengqi, so that he would not be in the slightest danger.
Zhelong County, White Tiger Gate!
This was where the Hundred Sects Conference was held. The strong of more than a hundred sects were all here, waiting eagerly.
As one of the biggest sects in Zhelong County, the White Tiger Gate was quite strong. Being able to host this Hundred Sects Conference showed it had some ability. Of course, Zhelong County was only a small county and could not be compared to a great county like Kunshan County at all.
The entire White Tiger Gate was bustling, with a hundred sects gathered together. The scene was truly magnificent. Hundreds of Hierarch experts had begun their own preparations. “A hundred sects” was only a figure of speech. The people actually taking part in this Hundred Sects Conference numbered no fewer than two hundred, and their strength varied widely. There were Half-step Hierarchs and Early Hierarchs. The few Mid Hierarch experts were already extremely eye-catching. After all, the masters of some sects were only at the Mid Hierarch Realm themselves.
“It looks like the people taking part in the Hundred Sects Conference this time are all very strong.”
“Who says otherwise? Sigh. The stronger they are, the fiercer the competition. We’ll have to work hard again. Last time I went home empty-handed. This time I absolutely won’t be beaten back to where I started.”
“Hahaha, right you are. We’re all old hands who’ve been here before. If we get knocked out by newcomers again, that would be too embarrassing.”
“Not necessarily. Every generation produces its own talents, each leading the way for a few hundred years. Maybe a few world-shaking demon kings will show up, and then all of us will have to step aside for the worthy.”
A group of Hierarch experts said with smiles, but the drive in their hearts was each stronger than the last.
Wang Fengqi stood among the crowd, his heart full of pride. This time, no matter what, he absolutely could not fail. And he had to come out on top of Jun Luohua. Otherwise, Sister Feng might be taken away by someone else. Once he got into the Fossil Sect, there would be no more pressure at all, and he would no longer have to be so timid in the face of the Jun Family.
The Fossil Sect had also sent quite a few people this time. There were ten elite disciples, all at the Mid Hierarch Realm, each of them extremely powerful and imposing. The one leading them was an expert at the Late Hierarch Realm. Even the Gate Master of the White Tiger Gate greeted them with a smile. Although the Gate Master of the White Tiger Gate had already reached the Half-step Divine Emperor Realm, in the eyes of the Fossil Sect, the White Tiger Gate was still not worth mentioning. They were envoys of the Fossil Sect, so even the Gate Master of the White Tiger Gate did not dare to show them the slightest disrespect.
