Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 354 - 208: So Dazzling... So Radiant

"But, Junior Brother Wang Tong, you came back so late this time. I almost thought you didn’t want to participate in the Three Sects Competition." Zhao Ming poured a cup of spirit wine, took a sip, and said casually.

"How could that be? Sect Leader, you always know me well. How could I miss the Three Sects Competition, and haven’t I already been pre-determined for the Core Formation Early Stage slot?" Wang Tong glanced at Zhao Ming with an expression as if the Sect Leader was joking and said indifferently.

"Who said it was pre-determined for you?" Zhao Ming glanced at Wang Tong and said.

"Hmm?... Oh, Junior Brother Yu Ming or Junior Sister Yu Yi, are they going to compete this time? Then Sect Leader, just let them challenge me. I’ll accept them all!" Wang Tong looked at Zhao Ming in confusion, was momentarily stunned, then immediately reacted, and said with a smile.

He was always quite clear about the abilities of Yu Ming and Yu Yi.

Not as good as himself.

This time they might have made some breakthroughs in their divine techniques and want to test them on him?

That would be fine, let them challenge for practice.

"Whether Junior Brother Yu Ming and Junior Sister Yu Yi will challenge you is still unknown, but now, there is someone who has explicitly said they want to compete with you for this spot." Zhao Ming said with a smile.

"Not Junior Brother Yu Ming, Junior Sister Yu Yi? Then who else could it be?"

This time, Wang Tong was really taken aback and didn’t react for a long time.

He couldn’t think of anyone else in the Immortal Sect, besides the two of them, who would want to challenge him. It couldn’t be the few Senior Brothers and Sisters in the Core Formation Middle Stage, right?

"It’s... Junior Brother Qi Chuan!" Zhao Ming said.

"Qi Chuan? How come?" Wang Tong looked bewildered, clearly having no knowledge of this name.

He racked his brains but it still remained very unfamiliar.

Zhao Ming laughed heartily: "You’ve been out on tasks recently, so it’s normal not to know about changes within the sect. Let me tell you, this Junior Brother Qi Chuan is a recently promoted Core Formation Early Stage True Master of the Immortal Sect and now is the ninth Core Formation Elder of the sect!"

"He’s quite interested in the Three Sects Competition and wants to participate as well."

"Qi Chuan? A newly promoted Core Formation Early Stage in the Immortal Sect?" Upon hearing this news, Wang Tong was as if hearing something unbelievable, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes in shock.

What’s going on?

How long has he been away, and there’s already a newly promoted Core Formation Early Stage in the Immortal Sect?

Moreover, the name Qi Chuan... Mm... wasn’t one of those Foundation Establishment Perfection whom the Immortal Sect focuses on...

Seeing Wang Tong’s utterly shocked expression, Zhao Ming smiled, then briefly shared some information about Qi Chuan with him.

"Such a big event, Sect Leader!" Upon hearing Zhao Ming’s explanation, Wang Tong was surprised but also a bit happy, he immediately stood up and said: "Where is Junior Brother Qi Chuan? I didn’t attend his promotion ceremony, now that I’ve returned, I should meet and get to know him properly."

The Immortal Sect gained another Core Formation True Master, elevating its overall strength, which is also a good thing for him as a member of the sect.

Moreover, he’s extremely curious about this newly promoted Junior Brother Qi Chuan and wonders what kind of person he is?

"Oh, he often goes to the Profound Ice Falls to cultivate recently. You can try to find him there, maybe you’ll meet him." Zhao Ming said with a smile.

"Oh, okay, Sect Leader, I’m leaving then."

With the precise location obtained, Wang Tong turned and walked towards the exit of the grand hall, while he couldn’t help but mutter loudly: "Profound Ice Falls? Isn’t that a Tier Two cultivation wonderland, what’s a Core Formation Early Stage doing there? I really don’t get it..."

At the head of the table, Zhao Ming took a sip of spirit wine and watched Wang Tong’s figure walk step by step outside the grand hall, but just as he reached the hall door, about to exit, his figure stiffened and stopped.

"Something’s not right!"

Zhao Ming chuckled softly and put down the wine glass.

At the grand hall entrance, Wang Tong suddenly turned around, his expression puzzled, and walked back, looking at Zhao Ming, buzzing, "Sect Leader, were you saying just now, it is this newly promoted Junior Brother Qi Chuan who wants to compete with me for the Three Sects Competition spot?"

"Exactly." Zhao Ming nodded with a smile.

"How is that possible?!"

Wang Tong exclaimed: "He just got promoted!"

Just promoted to Core Formation Early Stage, how strong could his magical power foundation, divine techniques, artifacts be?

How can he challenge him?

"Sect Leader, might there be a mistake?"

"No mistake. It’s indeed Junior Brother Qi Chuan wanting to challenge you." However, Zhao Ming shook his head.

Seeing Zhao Ming’s expression of utmost certainty, Wang Tong stretched out his right hand, rubbed his exceptionally shiny bald head, and not only slightly frowned but also showed a puzzled expression on his face.

How could he dare?

He glanced at Zhao Ming, the latter nodded at him again.

"I got it."

Wang Tong sighed.

Then, he cupped his fists at Zhao Ming, turned, and walked towards the direction outside the grand hall: "Hmph, I’m going to find him!"

Watching Wang Tong leave seemingly a bit displeased, Zhao Ming shook his head, picked up the spirit wine on the table again, and took another sip.

"Just let them compete." In the grand hall, Zhao Ming’s voice of slight helplessness and curiosity sounded.

Who knows, who will ultimately win and secure the spot for the Three Sects Competition?

...

Rumble!

Under the Profound Ice Falls, there was a continuous thunderous roar, as if a monstrous beast was roaring, shaking heaven and earth.

Water of ten thousand jin, wrapping in frigid and prison-like cold air, heavily poured at the base of the waterfall, on the body of a young man sitting cross-legged on the rock.

Compared to the hundred-zhang waterfall, the young man’s body was exceedingly small.

However, under the Profound Ice Falls, the young man’s body remained motionless like a mountain, like a rock, no matter how strong you are, it’s just a breeze brushing the hills.

In the torrent and roaring water curtain, there was a growing physical power accumulating, accumulating, like a bamboo shoot head squeezing out from under a rock, constantly appearing, appearing.

About two hours later.

"Hmm!"

The young man let out a muffled groan, a thread of blood flowed from his purplish lips, instantly frozen into a blood-red ice crystal by the extreme cold air, but in the next moment, it was shattered into blood-colored powder under the pounding of the tremendous force.

Bang!

The young man leaped up, broke through the water curtain ahead, like a bird or fish leaping into the sky, and then landed on the bank of the cold mist rising lake.

This time, the young man did not collapse on the ground in a large character shape like the first cultivation, but sat cross-legged on the spot, running the cultivation method of the Bright King Technique, within his body, the power of the physical rose, repairing and restoring the damaged body that had many obvious and hidden injuries.

During this process, the young man frowned deeply, obviously, the injuries inside his body were not without great pain, only that he was enduring strongly without making a sound.

After two quarters of an hour, the young man finally opened his eyes, looking at the void ahead, as if there existed some very special invisible being.

Then, the young man finally retracted his gaze, looked down at the current injuries on his body, nodded slightly, showing a somewhat satisfied look.

At this moment, his injuries had recovered quite a bit, and his physical body had also undergone some decent enhancement.

At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before he would advance again.

Just as the young man was about to take out a healing elixir from the Qiankun Bag at his waist to consume and fully recover the internal injuries with the aid of Core Formation Magical Power, suddenly, a deep voice abruptly sounded by his ear.

"What are you doing?"

The sudden voice made the young man involuntarily turn his head, looking towards the right side of the forest, where he saw an exceptionally shiny bald head standing on the large base root of a giant tree.

So shiny... so dazzling.

Staring at the outstanding bald head, the young man was taken aback, and couldn’t help but be surprised, thinking quietly.
