Chapter 1900 (Raw 2001): Rank 1 Missions

Just as Xiao Chen was chatting happily with Vice Hall Master Li, Xiao Jinyu, Qin Yan, Fang Tianyi, and the other core disciples who shone brightly recently received word of Xiao Chen defeating seven core disciples.

They were all shocked and found it inconceivable.

“To think that you dare to beat up my people. Xiao Chen, you are clearly targeting me!”

When Yi Qianyun received the news, he was the most shocked and the angriest.

Yi Qianyun had his own faction among the thousand-odd core disciples. Everyone knew that Zhang Yunxuan was his man. The other six core disciples were also affiliated with him.

In the end, Xiao Chen beat them all up. This was especially so for Zhang Yunxuan. He was beaten until he no longer looked human before getting flung away.

It was truly a cruel sight to behold. If others saw this, they would definitely take it as Xiao Chen slapping Yi Qianyun’s face.

“Just you wait. Wait until I break into the middle-stage Holy Light Stage. I will definitely humiliate you during the fight for the heaven-class core disciple spot.”

Yi Qianyun felt furious. He clenched his right fist tightly, wishing that he could trample on Xiao Chen now to regain his face.

At another place, Elder Tian Yun arrived personally at Xiao Jinyu’s residence. Then, he told Xiao Jinyu about what happened at the foot of the mountain below the Mission Hall.

“That’s impossible. This Xiao Chen has been in the Heavenly Dragon Palace for only three months. How could he defeat seven core disciples in one go and even successfully practice the hardest Secret Technique, Firmament’s Rage?!”

Xiao Jinyu appeared flustered when he learned of Xiao Chen’s exploits. Then, he thought about the fact that Elder Tian Yun personally came with this news.

In that case, it’s surely no mistake!

Xiao Jinyu quickly apologized, “Master, Jinyu did not have any intention of offending you.”

Elder Tian Yun had an unsightly expression. He asked seriously, “Do you understand why I brought this news to you?”

“Disciple knows!”

“Humph! This Xiao Chen called me out by name and said that I chose the wrong person that day at the dueling plaza. This old man did not want to let others see me arguing with him. However, if you really lose to him, I will be too embarrassed. You will no longer be able to mix around in the Heavenly Dragon Palace.”

Elder Tian Yun’s expression turned sullen, placing heavy pressure on Xiao Jinyu.

“This disciple will definitely not let Master down. Give me two months, and I will surely break through to middle-stage Holy Venerate.”

“What ignorance! What is the point of cultivating? Unless you reach peak middle-stage Holy Venerate, you will not hold an absolute advantage over Xiao Chen. That Xiao Chen is merely a middle-stage Star Venerate. How could he defeat seven core disciples in one go? Have you not even thought about it?

“He relied on the Dragon’s Gate’s Secret Technique and his own accumulations. Even though his cultivation is low, the quantity and quality of his Veritable Essence Energy are not low!”

Elder Tian Yun seemed somewhat exasperated at Xiao Jinyu. He spoke with many pauses in between. “What you need to do now is bring out your advantages to their fullest, properly build up accumulations instead of rushing to raise your cultivation. The three heaven-class core disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Palace are still only early-stage Holy Venerates. However, they can sweep through all of the core disciples.”

Xiao Jinyu seemed to have thought of something. “Master means…”

“After tomorrow, I’ll bring you to Sweeping Sword Peak. If your Sword Great Dao can reach Great Perfection, you will be able to kill this Xiao Chen with one sword strike. It would be a hundred times better than you advancing to middle-stage Holy Venerate.”

“Many thanks, Master!”

---

The other core disciples were more or less affected, as well. Their masters all gave guidance, and they put in more effort.

All this was so that they could obtain a heaven-class core disciple slot later. Right now, everything was just an illusion. If one could not even obtain a slot, there was no need to speak about entering Ancestor Dragon City.

After entering Ancestor Dragon City, Xiao Chen or the other competitors would all be flung far behind.

Vice Hall Master Li led Xiao Chen over to the Mission Hall himself via a secret passage that few knew about.

The administrator of the Mission Hall personally attended to the Law Enforcement Hall’s Vice Hall Master Li and Xiao Chen with fear and sincerity.

“What are the good recent missions? Show them to Xiao Chen,” Vice Hall Master Li instructed indifferently.

The Mission Hall Elder gave Xiao Chen a look in startlement. Isn’t this the person who was taken at the foot of the mountain for causing a commotion earlier?

Why is it that the Law Enforcement Hall’s Vice Hall Master personally brought him over in the blink of an eye?

The Mission Hall administrator felt somewhat confused. However, since this was Vice Hall Master Li’s instructions, he naturally could not disobey.

“This is the most updated missions list. Take a look, and just let me know if there is anything suitable.”

Xiao Chen received the mission list and scrutinized it.

The missions were split into seven ranks, with Rank 1 as the highest. Above those were Transcendental Rank and Absolute Rank, which were missions issued to Elders and required one to have the strength of a Sovereign Personage.

Xiao Chen’s eyes fell on the Rank 1 missions, and four Rank 1 missions in particular.

Two of the Rank 1 missions were missions to kill people. One was to search Blazing Sun Valley for a Blazing Sun Heart, which could be obtained only by killing the Blazing Sun Berserk Ape. The last one had a special mark on it.

The last mission was to help the Dragon’s Gate recover a lost military camp in the underground world. Of the four missions, it was the most complicated one.

However, the reward for the last mission was very generous: a total of twenty thousand Primeval Heavenly Pills.

The first three Rank 1 missions also had generous rewards, at least eight thousand Primeval Heavenly Pills each.

“These four Rank 1 missions. Wait, that’s not right. I think I still need to take on some other missions before I can meet the sect’s quota. Just randomly give me a few Rank 7 missions, then.”

Xiao Chen made his choice and handed the mission list to the other party.

“What! You want to take four Rank 1 missions? No way, no way!”

The Mission Hall administrator shook his head and said, “Absolutely no way. Rank 1 missions require one to be a Holy Venerate in the first place. Furthermore, they require two people working together. Letting you take one alone is already being very nice. To think that you want to take four Rank 1 missions alone! What are the other core disciples going to do?”

“Humph! This old man says that it’s fine, so it’s fine. Stop wasting time. Since my little brother chose these four missions, then these four missions it is.”

When Vice Hall Master Li heard the words “no way,” he immediately got angry. This was someone he personally brought over, after all. To think that the administrator was not giving him face.

The angry voice, together with the Dragon Might, scared the Mission Hall administrator.

The Mission Hall administrator felt very bitter. The other party managed the Blood Dragon Guards, someone not to be offended.

“Alright! Alright! Alright! However, I will say this first: if you fail the mission, you will still have to bear the punishment. Don’t blame me for not warning you; the punishment for failing the missions is more severe than you imagine.”

The administrator did not dare to offend Vice Hall Master Li, so he could only vent his frustrations on Xiao Chen as he spoke through gritted teeth.

“Since I’ve already chosen them, I naturally accept the consequences.”

“Haha! That’s the way. Show me the mission list.”

Vice Hall Master Li took the mission list and glanced at it. Then, his expression changed. None of the missions was easy. Of the two killing missions, one was to eliminate a group of bandits in the Divine Dragon Empire that had been killing people for their money for many years.

There was a total of eighteen bandits. They called themselves the Demonic Cloud Mountain’s Eighteen Great Bandits. All of them were Holy Venerates.

These bandits worked together to refine their lair—the Demonic Cloud Mountain—into an inherited Dao Tool that allowed them to go and hide in the Starry Heavens and conceal themselves at any moment.

Every time a Sovereign Personage went to kill these bandits, they would flee far away. When the Sovereign Personage left, they would go somewhere else to resume killing people for their treasures and wealth. Their methods were extremely cruel.

The number of Dragon Race cultivators that had died in their hands and the Dragon Race factions destroyed by them was countless.

This crafty group of bandits had been troubling the Dragon’s Gate for many years already, a great headache.

The second killing mission was an assassination. Recently, a Demonic Dao expert had appeared in the nearby Cloud Sun Province. That expert specialized in killing Dragon Race experts and absorbing the unique dragon soul of Dragon Race cultivators to refine a demonic dragon pennant.

This expert’s movements were very secretive, and his methods were even crueler.

Those that this person killed were all Dragon Race experts. After their deaths, he extracted their souls and drained their dragon blood.

The Dragon Race bloodline possessed an extremely strong lifeforce. The Dragon Race’s souls were also incomparably tyrannical and were extremely helpful for refining ghost pennants.

Cloud Sun Province was the territory of the Red Dragon Race. Several Red Dragon Holy Venerate experts had died in the hands of this Demonic Dao cultivator.

This caught the Dragon’s Gate’s attention, which immediately got it designated as a Rank 1 Mission issued to the Dragon’s Gate’s seven outer palaces.

Since this Demonic Dao cultivator dared to come to the Divine Dragon Empire alone, he had to be very strong and confident.

As for the third mission, Blazing Sun Valley was a dangerous region. Although the Blazing Sun Berserk Ape was strong, it was still a ferocious beast, after all. The risks of this mission were manageable.

As for the fourth mission, Vice Hall Master Li shook his head slightly when he saw it. The water simply ran too deep when it came to the underground world.

The missions that could be categorized as Rank 1 definitely would not be easy. The rewards they offered corresponded to how much effort one had to put into it.

The Dragon’s Gate would not give out Primeval Heavenly Pills for nothing. The price would be equivalent.

Vice Hall Master Li frowned and said, “I say, Brother Xiao Chen, the missions you took are not quite right. The risk is too huge.”

“The missions have been accepted already. If he gives up, it will count as a failure.”

The administrator also had a temper. He walked over quickly and handed the mission cards to Xiao Chen. Then, he smiled coldly to himself. Now, you know what fear is. It is already too late.

Xiao Chen calmly received the mission cards and smiled. “It’s fine. I have my own plans.”

Without sufficient Primeval Heavenly Pills, Xiao Chen would not be able to advance quickly when he reached the late-stage Starry Sky Stage. He would not be able to enter Ancestor Dragon City then.

If he just waited in the Heavenly Dragon Palace, he would just be waiting to die, waiting for the other palaces’ people to defeat him.

Anyway, since both paths potentially led to death, he might as well gamble and take the missions.

Furthermore, he had many trump cards. While those were not convenient to use within the sect, there were no restrictions on him after he went out.

Xiao Chen was still somewhat confident of completing these missions.

“Little Brother, since you have your own plans, I will not say too much about it. Just remember to rush back within two months. Otherwise, you would lose out big if you missed the fight to become a heaven-class core disciple.”

“The heaven-class core disciple slot will definitely be mine. Many thanks, Big Brother Li.”

The Mission Hall administrator’s heart had some disdain for Xiao Chen. It is still questionable whether you can return alive. To think you are still thinking about becoming a heaven-class core disciple. You really don’t know how high the heavens are or how deep the earth is.
