Chapter 508: Chapter 196: Kuafu Reappears, Chen Chang’an’s Method_2

However, the conduct of the elder at the front was universally accepted by everyone on the scene.

It was because this old man was the grand elder of the Divine Hidden Sect, and ever since the Taiyi Sect suffered a great calamity, the Divine Hidden Sect has been the most powerful force in the Tianyuan World. As the grand elder of the Divine Hidden Sect, it was only natural for him to spearhead the organization of this opening of the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion.

After all, the underlying principle of the Cultivation World is that might makes right!

Upon witnessing this, Chen Chang’an didn’t interfere. If someone else wanted to take care of it, let them. He wasn’t particularly interested in these affairs.

"Everyone, take out the tokens you have!"

Upon finishing his announcement in the sky, the grand elder of the Divine Hidden Sect addressed the people below, including Chen Chang’an and others from the Four Dao Paths.

"It should be set up this way!"

Hearing the elder’s voice, no one in the crowd objected. They all took out their tokens, including Lin Qingxuan.

Since she was chosen for the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion, the Taiyi Sect’s tokens have been in her care. After Chen Chang’an arrived, Lin Qingxuan intended to hand over the sect token to him, but he refused to take it.

Hum, hum, hum~!

After all five tokens were presented, there was a sudden light vibration in the sky.

Crack, crack, crack~!

And then a crack opened up in the sky, with streams of dark energy gushing out from within, heavyweight, and full of darkness!

Roar~!

Howl~!

From within, you could faintly hear the horrifying roars of beasts, bloody, brutal, it was as if terrifying giant beasts were awakening.

"Everyone, stay on alert. Soul Beasts might show up at any moment!"

The grand elder of the Divine Hidden Sect also experienced this change, causing him to furrow his brows.

The biggest headache during the grand opening of the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion was these Soul Beasts. If mis-handled, it could result in disastrous losses!

"What’s there to fear? Watch how I will be the first to wipe them out completely!"

However, at this point, a big man among the crowd was not scared at all, he charged directly into the crack.

Despite being horrifying, the valuable things to be acquired from the Soul Beasts were equally substantial. We’re talking about Soul Stones, Soul Fires, and even more prominent are the rare Soul Crystals and fur, possessing which could make one live comfortably for a lifetime!

As a result, every time the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion opens, many outsiders come together.

Some of them are hired by the five major sects to specifically ward off the Soul Beasts’ attacks, and a portion of them are those who are skilled and bold enough to come and hunt the Soul Beasts!

No one complains about these cultivators’ actions. On the contrary, there are many who admire and imitate them!

Wealth is sought amidst danger. Cultivators themselves compete against Heaven and Earth. If not now, then when!

"You bloody bull-head, wait up for me! If we’re going to make a fortune, include me in!"

Then, another big man was yelling, carrying a huge axe and charging in.

"I’m in too, I’m in too!"

Then it was the third person, the fourth...!

Until finally, more than half of the people who came to Yunmeng Marsh had gone in!

The few remaining were mostly from the five major sects. It’s not that they don’t want to hunt the Soul Beasts, it’s just not their turn to enter the fray!

"Mr. Chen, I wonder if you prefer to be inside or outside?"

The grand elder of the Divine Hidden Sect walked up to Chen Chang’an and asked politely.

The Heavenly Emperor Pavilion opening rules stipulate that at least 70% of each sect’s people must stay outside; this is for ensuring the safety of the Tianyuan World.

This time the Taiyi Sect is exceptional since they suffered a major change and didn’t have many powerful people to participate; only Chen Chang’an and Lin Qingxuan came to Yunmeng Marsh.

Lin Qingxuan no doubt is one of the participants in the trial, so the only person responsible for maintaining appearances is Chen Chang’an.

One person can’t be split into seventy-thirty, so there are only two solutions for dealing with Chen Chang’an. Either he stays outside, or he goes inside.

If the decision were about someone else, the grand elder of the Divine Hidden Sect would naturally make it for him. However, facing the likes of Chen Chang’an, he couldn’t, and he didn’t dare!

Although Chen Chang’an has never been to the Tianyuan World before, the legends about him were not unfamiliar to the grand elder of the Divine Hidden Sect.

With his own strength, he defeated two Semi-Saints of the Confucian Sect and two Heavenly Venerates of the Abyss, and then retreated safely. They couldn’t afford to offend such a person!

"My friend, you’re being too kind. Since this is a rule set by the elders, the Taiyi Immortal sect must also adhere to it. We cannot break the rules just because of me." Hearing the grand elder’s words, Chen Chang’an shook his head.

Upon hearing this, the grand elder of the Divine Hidden Sect looked at Chen Chang’an in disbelief:

"So, are you planning to stay outside?"

He didn’t believe that Chen Chang’an travelled a long distance from the Wuxiang realm to Tianyuan just to keep an eye on Lin Qingxuan. This wasn’t about conspiracy theories; it was simply realistic.

"No, you misunderstood." In response to the grand elder’s words, Chen Chang’an shook his head.

"The Heavenly Emperor Pavilion is a holy land for cultivators worldwide. I have longed to visit it, and since I am here now, naturally, I want to go inside."

Hum, hum, hum~!

As he spoke, without making any noticeable move, the void behind Chen Chang’an suddenly began to tremble lightly.

Hum, hum, hum~!
