Chapter 559: Chapter 556: Arriving at the Black Dragon Sect_1
And so, Yang Chen continued practicing in the carriage during their journey.
His state of mind was not yet stable, so he didn’t rush to practice. Instead, he spent most of his time on the Linglong Dream Mirror. Zhang Xuelian had indeed given him quite a valuable treasure, which greatly sped up his mental cultivation.
As long as he kept at it, he no longer needed to worry about his state of mind in the future. In the Linglong Dreamland, he experienced numerous dreams and lives, full of pain and happiness. All of it refined his mind like a thousand hammers forging an iron, making it sturdy.
Once his state of mind was sufficiently refined, Yang Chen shifted his focus to the Lightning Movement Technique.
Although he had only just begun to comprehend the mysteries of this technique, he did not neglect it after entering the Origin Martial Realm. On the contrary, he remembered it clearly and vividly.
Having only reached the second layer of the Lightning Movement Technique, Yang Chen had already achieved remarkable results. If he continued to practice, what would it be like to reach the third or fourth layer?
No one knew.
With his thoughts on it, Yang Chen began to study the technique diligently.
Time passed quickly as he studied.
Upon the carriage stopping, a full month had passed since they left North Mountain County. Yang Chen felt the Iron-blooded Blue Panther carriage stop and opened the curtain to see Mo Wu and the other high-level figures from the Beishan Main City.
“Elder Mo, have we already arrived in Changning County?” Yang Chen blinked, glanced around at the unfamiliar surroundings, and asked.
Black Dragon Sect was located in Changning County.
Mo Wu laughed heartily and said, “Not only have we arrived in Changning County, but if we go a bit further, we’ll reach the Black Dragon Sect. However, the Black Dragon Sect is notorious for their domineering ways. They do not allow any carriages or other forms of transportation to enter their territory within a hundred miles, and even martial artists like us have to walk. Those who break their rules face only one outcome: death.”
Yang Chen had heard of the Black Dragon Sect’s domineering reputation in his previous life. After hearing Mo Wu’s words, he nodded thoughtfully.
On the other hand, the young disciples from Beishan Main City kept looking around in amazement.
“So many powerful warriors at the True Martial Realm?”
“That man looks very young, yet he has the aura of Ling Wu Realm Peak. Are such geniuses common in Changning County?”
For a moment, the Beishan Main City disciples were astonished.
No matter how you looked at it, Changning County seemed to be much more magnificent than North Mountain County.
As soon as they entered Changning County, these disciples began to take in their surroundings instead of secluding themselves like Yang Chen. North Mountain County’s landscapes were primarily mountains and rivers, while Changning County was a bustling metropolis filled with sects and martial artists, incomparable to Beishan.
This caused Mo Wu to snort in disdain, “You all look like you’ve never seen the world before. Couldn’t you be a little more like Yang Chen? Aren’t you just embarrassing yourselves in front of others?”
Chided by Mo Wu, the disciples finally quieted down, looking to Yang Chen in surprise at his composure.
Although Yang Chen had never been to Changning County, he had seen grander sights and wouldn’t be astonished by the prosperity of this place.
“Let’s go!” Mo Wu led the way.
A hundred miles was nothing for martial artists, and the group leisurely walked the distance in just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. When they appeared again, they were already at the entrance to the Black Dragon Sect.
Upon arriving at the entrance, the disciples from Beishan Main City couldn’t help but exclaim once again.
“What a grand atmosphere the Black Dragon Sect has.”
“Indeed, it’s truly magnificent.”
At a glance, the entrance to the Black Dragon Sect was a hundred zhang high, with a lifelike stone dragon perched on top. The dragon’s eyes were made of special materials, so real and captivating that one couldn’t help but marvel at them.
It was no wonder that the Beishan Main City disciples were surprised; even Yang Chen was impressed by the grandeur of the Black Dragon Sect. It was said that the Black Dragon Sect was a superpower, and now that he was here, he could see that their reputation was well-deserved.
“Who are you?”
When they saw people approaching the Black Dragon Sect, the two gatekeepers shouted, releasing an astonishing aura.
“True Martial Realm!”
“Even the gatekeepers are at the True Martial Realm?”
The faces of the Beishan Main City deacons became awkward. They thought of themselves as quite formidable, but now it seemed that Changning County was filled with True Martial Realm experts at every corner!
Now, even the gatekeeper of the Black Dragon Sect was at the True Martial Realm.
When questioned by the gatekeeper, Mo Wu quickly stepped forward and presented the Main City Order and invitation as representatives of Beishan Main City.
“We are from Beishan Main City and have come here specifically for the Black Dragon Sect’s banquet,” Mo Wu said with a smile, his attitude genuinely amiable and respectful, not daring to show any arrogance toward the two gatekeepers.
The two True Martial Realm gatekeepers accepted the invitation and scanned it with narrowed eyes before exclaiming, “Oh, it’s the brothers from Beishan Main City. Please, come in, you are most welcome!”
One of the gatekeepers went ahead to lead the way.
Soon, the people from Beishan Main City filed in grandly into the Black Dragon Sect.
Once inside, the imposing atmosphere of the Black Dragon Sect was even more impressive. The geniuses and martial artists of the sect all exuded powerful auras, causing the furrowing of the brows of the Beishan Main City geniuses when compared to their own auras, which seemed worlds apart.
“What a bunch of country bumpkins who have never seen the world before,” the gatekeeper leading the way scoffed inwardly. “Beishan Main City is still as weak as ever. I really don’t know why our superiors invited them. Well, I guess there always need to be a few bottom feeders.”
With contempt in his heart, the gatekeeper’s face also showed a trace of disdain as he led them halfway before finding two maid-like women and telling them, “Sirs of Beishan Main City, please follow us to the conference hall, while we handle these geniuses and arrange accommodations for them. Remember, don’t talk recklessly.”
