Sacred Martial Divine Sovereign

Within the silent room, accompanied by the infusion of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Ao Lingchen's dantian, muscles, and cells were all nourished by the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. The wounds on his body were completely healed under the nourishment of the natural energy, and they were getting stronger and stronger by squeezing the limit.    

In the center of the spiritual light, Ao Lingchen sat cross-legged in the center with his eyes closed. A strong suction force was emitted from his body, and it sucked the surrounding rich spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth and pure energy into his body like drinking water. Under this crazy devouring, the vitality of his body became stronger and stronger. Perhaps one could not see any changes from the outside, but his temperament had unknowingly undergone a tremendous change.    

Ao Lingchen had always maintained this kind of extreme cultivation method ever since he entered the Spirit Refinement Tower. Under this extreme condition... His Qi fluctuated, sometimes it was imposing manner, and sometimes it was as if he was an old man at the end of his life. It was a cycle that went back and forth.    

It was also because of this strange situation that Ao Lingchen's physique was constantly strengthening. Everything was changing in the direction of improvement.    

During the few days that Ao Lingchen was immersed in cultivation, the news of what happened in the secret realm had spread. ... The peaceful life of Essence Sword Sect had stirred up a storm. The appearance of the Seven-Colored Spirit Weapon in the secret realm... A large number of disciples had fallen in the secret realm. All of this had shocked everyone. This was something that had never happened before.    

The Devil Beast, the Seven-Colored Spirit Weapon, the connection between the two mystic realms. This caused the disciples of Essence Sword Sect to discuss amongst themselves. Everyone was curious about the details of what had happened in this secret realm. Especially the matter of the Seven-Colored Spirit Weapon, it made many people sigh with emotion.    

However, just as these discussions warmed up the Essence Sword Sect, another sensational news was spread across the Essence Sword Sect, causing a huge commotion in the sect.    

The Stellar Sect sent two disciples from the outer sect, who were as strong as the Essence Sword Sect, to deliver an invitation to the five major sects' Wind and Cloud Gathering.    

The appearance of this invitation letter was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake. It stirred up a thousand waves in the Essence Sword Sect, causing the entire Essence Sword Sect to boil with excitement.    

The Gathering of Wind and Cloud of the five major sects was a competition between the strongest disciples of the five major sects. Apart from displaying the qualities of the young generation of the various major sects, this competition also secretly decided the right of the major powers to decide the distribution of certain resources. It was a matter of great importance. It could be said to be a top-class event.    

Apart from this, those who could enter the top ten of the Five Sects Wind Cloud Gathering would receive great rewards. Earth ranked Martial Skills and Earth ranked Divine Weapons could be found everywhere.    

Furthermore, those who could enter the top ten would also receive titles recognized by the Five Sects, titles regarding talent and strength.    

The rules of the Martial Sect Stage Fengyun Great Assembly were held by the previous champion. The Stellar Sect had taken the first place in the last session, so they were the organizers of this session.    

The most depressing thing was that the previous year was the Essence Sword Sect's closest champion. It was a pity that they were eliminated by the Stellar Sect in the finals, and they had to leave with regret.    

When they heard that the Stellar Sect had come, the core disciples who were outside rushed back and started to prepare for the Five Sects Grand Meeting. Whether it was for the sake of the sect or to obtain generous rewards, everyone began to prepare for this event.    

However, what surprised them was that the true main force of the Five Sect Gathering, the true disciples, didn't make any moves, and none of them returned to the sect. It seemed like they didn't take this meeting seriously at all, and didn't take it seriously at all.    

On a battlefield, in a tent sewn with tiger skin!    

"Crown Prince, the news of the Five Sects Wind Cloud Meet has spread throughout the entire world. Are we going back to the sect!?"    

The black-clothed armored youth stood by a sandalwood table and looked at the scholar who was writing paper and ink.    

"There is no hurry. It is still early. We will return to the sect in three months!"    

The scholar didn't raise his head and continued to wave his brush.    

On a cliff, a youth in azure robes was floating on top of the cliff. Next to him was an ancient iron sword.    

"Whoosh!"    

In the sky, a flying eagle flew across the sky and let out a sharp cry. Then, a red light fell from the sky with its sharp claws, and fell towards the young man.    

"Eh?!"    

The young man, who had his eyes tightly shut, suddenly opened his eyes. Then, he waved his hand, and a gust of wild wind swept up. The red light rolled up from the clouds and was sent into his hand. It was a scroll.    

"The Five Sects Meet has been brought forward? Interesting!"    

After muttering half a sentence to himself, the young man closed his eyes again.    

In the depths of Essence Sword Sect, in the meeting hall of an ancient and majestic palace!    

"This year's Five Sects Competition has been brought forward by half a year. What do you think?"    

A loud and clear voice came from the end of the hall. It came from the center of the hall. The voice was calm, but it gave people a suffocating pressure.    

"It's said that there are people from outside this region who have come. They are currently visiting the Stellar Sect. It seems to have something to do with those people."    

An aged voice came from the hall.    

"Someone from outside the realm, this is interesting. Could it be that someone has set their eyes on the Land of the Abandoned?"    

A mocking voice resounded within the hall, as if it was filled with disdain towards the so-called foreigners.    

"It's hard to say. Even though this is the abandoned land, there are secrets here that attract everyone."    

The heavy voice quickly drowned out that mocking and disdainful voice. The one who spoke seemed to be extremely worried about the so-called Xeno-race expert.    

"Hmph, even though they clearly know that those things are sealed here, these people are still unwilling to be obedient. Aren't they afraid that those things will break out of their seals and create another bloody storm?"    

"Even if those people really have designs on this place, they still wouldn't dare to make a big fuss. Although this place is an abandoned land, it's not like there are no experts guarding it. That family is not to be trifled with."    

"Don't be agitated. It's not the first or second time that outsiders have come here. They might have come here just to see the situation in our Abandoned Land."    

When the voice came from the center, the originally quiet palace began to discuss animatedly.    

"Alright, we don't need to care about what outsiders plan to do. Let's return the topic to the Five Sects Competition. Over the past ten years, we, the Essence Sword Sect, have never won the championship. We have never won the qualification to hold the competition. We have not been able to get a spot in the Leaping Dragon Pool for decades. If this continues... The gap between us and the other four sects will only get bigger and bigger."    

"Last time was when we were closest to the championship, but we were ambushed. In the end, we were still defeated. This time, there are still good seedlings, and there is hope as well. However, I hope that the black hand will no longer appear on our disciples. Do you understand?"    

An imposing voice came from the center of the palace. Violent airwaves surged in all directions.    

"This time, we will do our best to protect them. If anyone dares to attack us again, we will fight them to the death!"    

An invitation letter had thrown all the people of Essence Sword Sect into a heated discussion.    

Such a situation had occurred in the other three major sects as well.
