Chapter 834: A Fifth Palace’s Genius?

The sharp Dark Heavenly Sword flew through the air, hacked the last Heavenly General, and killed him. Jiang Chen’s body was drenched with blood, all his own, and also riddled with scars. As for the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, they had all turned into purple mist, which formed a purple cloud atop the palace.

According to what people knew about the Doctrine Palace, it wouldn’t provide any promotion to a challenger’s power. Challengers could only try to make a breakthrough by themselves while in a predicament such as what Jiang Chen had just done. This was why Jiang Chen didn’t care at all about this purple mist. However, it started unexpectedly revolving, and descending toward him. It all completely surged into Jiang Chen’s body.

“How is this possible?”

Such a matter had never once happened before, and if people were aware that the Doctrine Palace still had such a function, a great battle would have already occurred due to it, and they wouldn’t have just allowed anyone to enter it free of charge. However, what was more important for Jiang Chen now was understanding what was that purple mist’s function. The purple mist sank to the deepest part of his Holy Sea, and he couldn’t control it at all. Jiang Chen was worried that it might harm him, hence, this was why he called on his Holy Sea’s power and tried to use his Nine Holy Pulses to control the purple mist.

All his Nine Holy Pulses went to the deepest part of his Holy Sea and tried absorbing the purple mist. However, it was difficult for them to absorb it, and, even after a long while, they had only managed to absorb just a tiny part of it. A small amount of the purple mist went through his system, nourished his body, and let his Divine Body become even more powerful.

It seems like the Doctrine Palace still had a great secret, which hadn’t been discovered yet by anyone, Jiang Chen thought to himself. He was quite excited due to this discovery. The Doctrine Palace had been explored by countless people, and it was now like a plate that had been licked clean by dogs—nothing was left on it.

However, on this day, a purple mist had been formed here because of how abnormal Jiang Chen was, and it had been absorbed by him. The crowd outside the palace noticed that all signs of activities in the palace had died down. However, they were incapable of discerning whether Jiang Chen had passed it or failed. This was the case until its windows were opened and Jiang Chen jumped out. He climbed onto the roof and planned to leave his name there.

“He, he, it is my first time seeing someone sustaining such grave injuries while passing.” Fei Yu wasn’t willing to believe that Jiang Chen had passed.

“If you faced the same ordeal as he did, what would your outcome be then?” Yao Yuntong asked.

“You don’t deserve to talk to me,” Fei Yu spoke proudly. He didn’t feel like replying to her.

Yao Yuntong was infuriated by this. She suddenly recalled that Jiang Chen would shortly leave his name there. If he could surpass Fei Yu….

When she had such a thought, Yao Yuntong’s expression stiffened, and she sighed helplessly. It seemed that Fei Yu was aware of what she had just thought of. He curled up the corners of his mouth, and a sneering expression appeared on his face.

“It is a pity that no one besides Spirits can leave their names among the top five,” Wu Hui said helplessly.

Jiang Chen was probably unaware of such a rule. Yan Yuntong had just recalled this and signaled to Jiang Chen, who was now atop the roof.

“Why is this the case? Why should no one besides Spirits leave his name among the top five?” Jiang Chen was bewildered by this and incapable of understanding it. Then he raised his head and took a look. He discovered that Ning Haotian’s name was ranked sixth. Was that also because of such a rule?

“The Three Middle Realms are ruled by Spirit Clans, and there is a difference between the time each name was carved. Some names were carved three or four years ago, and it’s easy for people coming later to surpass them. But this doesn’t represent who is stronger among them.”

Yao Yuntong explained, “It won’t matter if it was just between Spirits, but if a human used the time disparity to surpass one of the top five, he will be challenged by that Spirit, and his hands and legs will be broken by him.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen found himself at a loss for words. The Three Middle Realms were Spirits World, but when he came here, he didn’t have such a feeling. It was because he still wasn’t in contact with high-ranking people’s affair and was just moving around in the Desolate Lands and Ten Prefectures. Spirits would be obviously disinclined to meddle with him.

It was only now that he was in contact with high-ranking people’s affairs that he discovered how overbearing were the Spirits.

Jiang Chen took a look at the top five names. Besides Fei Yu’s name, there were traces that the other four names were left some time ago. Even if he took the first position now, it didn’t mean that he had really defeated the first. Spirits were aware of this, but they were still incapable of accepting it.

“I really want to see how they can break my four limbs.” Jiang Chen didn’t have any respect for Spirit Clans, hence why he would obviously reject accepting such a rule.

“What does he want to do?” The people below noticed Jiang Che’s aims and were all dumbfounded.

“Does he want to cross off my name?” Fei Yu thought inwardly. This wasn’t implausible. However, he would still end up violating the rule. Fei Yu was at the fourth position, and there was still the fifth position beneath him. If Jiang Chen surpassed Fei Yu, he would end up surpassing the fifth one. Fei Yu and the fifth one were both Spirits, hence why he wouldn’t cause trouble for Fei Yu, but he would surely attack Jiang Chen.

It was especially the case since after Fei Yu had a clear look of that name, he recalled that person’s temper. He became full of expectation on this matter.

“Let’s see how daring this human is.”

Jiang Chen, who was on the roof, jumped once again. He planned to use the same way as before to climb up, and he unceasingly stamped the wall. The water flow descended once again, battered his body, and engulfed the whole mountain’s wall. The crowd witnessed Jiang Chen pulling out his sword and giving one strike after another.

“What does he want to do?” Jiang Chen used separately five sword strikes. They were at different heights and weren’t interlinked. It was obvious that he wasn’t carving his own name.

“He wants to leave his name in the first position!” Wu Hui discovered in surprise Jiang Chen’s aims. Jiang Chen wasn’t just daring, he was reckless and extremely daring. He didn’t just want to leave his name. After the water flow stopped, the crowd clearly witnessed that all top five names were crossed off, and it also included Fei Yu’s name.

At this moment, Jiang Chen’s altitude was much higher than the first name’s position by hundreds of feet. The crowd was waiting for him to carve his name there, which would create a stir in all the Three Middle Realms. However, who would have expected that Jiang Chen would bellow and use his whole body’s power while still on the cliff. After a short while had passed, surprise and shock appeared on the faces of everyone, including even Fei Yu. Jiang Chen didn’t carve his name there because…. He had already jumped up the cliff and started challenging the Fifth Palace.

All the Fourth Palace’s geniuses were like fleeting clouds in comparison to him. Jiang Chen wanted to make a magnificent feat and became the sole and only Fifth Palace’s genius. He didn’t need to carve his name there to prove his talent and power.

“He went up there!” Yao Yuntong exclaimed in alarm. Jiang Chen successfully jumped up the cliff. His back seemed now quite small to her because he was standing at a great height.

“Oh, my God!” Wu Hui shouted sharply, “He crossed off all five names and reached the Fifth Palace. His name will resound throughout the whole world.”

“It’s a premise that he manages to pass it peacefully. He won’t become a Fifth Palace’s Genius just by going up there. Moreover, he still didn’t carve his name, and, in the end, he will be nothing,” Fei Yu spoke resentfully.

One couldn’t be considered as having passed a certain palace just by standing before it. Like for example, Yao Yuntong was now standing before the cliff, but she still hadn’t passed it successfully and was still considered a Third Palace’s genius.

Yao Yuntong didn’t know the Fifth Palace’s content, and she also couldn’t see the Fifth Palace from there. They all could only wait quietly,, while listening to the noise echoing, which was even more intense than before by several folds.

After a long while had passed, all noise atop the cliff gradually disappeared.

“It came to an end!” All the people wished to fly up there and have a look at the outcome. If Jiang Chen succeeded, this affair would have a great significance, and, even if he didn’t succeed, just the fact that he stepped into the Fifth Palace alone was praiseworthy.

“What in the end?”

Jiang Chen’s body appeared once again atop the cliff before many pairs of nervous gazes. He was overlooking them from there.

“Did he succeed?” Wu Hui asked excitedly.

Fei Yu blinked his eyes, and waited patiently for Jiang Chen’s answer.

“…..” Jiang Chen opened his mouth and stated the answer.
