Chapter 840: Protection
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Little Gold, what are you doing…”
Ye Chen noticed Little Gold’s murderous intent toward Mr. Jingshui. If he had not stopped Little Gold, it would have charged out at any moment.
Why was Little Gold so hostile toward Mr. Jingshui?
Logically speaking, this should be Little Gold’s first time meeting Mr. Jing Shui.
In the end, Ye Chen tossed the matter to the back of his mind.
He was not sure if Mister Jing Shui’s arrival was a good thing or a bad thing, but if this fellow wanted to harm him, he was prepared to have the ancient mighty experts in the Samsara Graveyard take action.
The glowing formation disk landed steadily on the ground. Mr. Jingshui placed his hands behind his back and swept his gaze across the crowd without saying a word.
He looked imposing, and his aura seemed to set him apart from every other cultivator present.
This was the temperament of a true expert.
“Greetings, Mr. Jingshui!”
A chorus of respectful voices rang out.
There were even some people who were extremely excited and had tears in
their eyes.
After all, Mr. Jingshui was a legendary existence. Some people would never see him even once in their entire lifetimes!
Mr. Jingshui nodded. However, he then turned his gaze to Ye Chen immediately, and a hint of fanaticism flashed across his cold eyes.
He walked forward and finally stopped five meters in front of Ye Chen.
Elder Zheng and the others who were kneeling looked up. When Elder Zheng saw that Ye Chen and the others had not knelt down, his heart skipped a beat.
Was Ye Chen courting death?
They actually did not kneel!
However, Daoist Nanming and Qiu Laocheng were gloating.
After all, Ye Chen had insulted Mr. Jing Shui not long ago. If he did not kneel now, Mr. Jing Shui would definitely be furious, and the consequences of that would likely be terrifying!
“Interesting. Ye Chen, let me ask you a question. These people are kneeling to
me, so why aren’t you kneeling?”
As expected! Mister Jingshui’s cold voice slowly rang out, causing one’s heart to palpitate.
Ye Chen stood proudly with his back straight. He said calmly, Even if they kneel to you, does that mean we have to kneel to you? What kind of logic is this?
I, Ye Chen, will not kneel to the heavens or the earth. In that case, do you think that you can surpass the heavens and earth?
Mr. Jingshui was expressionless when he heard this. Instead, he stared at Little Gold, who sensed the other party’s desire, so its roars became even stronger.
“Ye Chen, I recognize you, and even admire you a little. However, I don’t like your attitude. I really don’t like it. The weak should submit to the strong.” “The consequences of violating the rules are very serious, and it1 s an easy matter for me to kill you.”
“But I won’t. I like to convince people with virtue!”
Ye Chen snorted and ignored him.
Mr. Jingshui glanced at the remaining participants and nodded.
“It seems that you are the ten finalists. The rules this year are a little special. Originally, those who advance can have opportunities and magic treasures, but recently, the Dragon Cleansing Pool has appeared again, and I happened to obtain the key. The opportunities for the top ten will be in the Dragon Cleansing
Pool.”
“As for what those opportunities might be, I don’t know either. This will require you to explore it for yourselves.
Mr. Jingshui then waved his arm lightly, and an ancient aura swept over from the surroundings.
Countless people trembled, their eyes filled with fear.
Only someone as powerful as Mr. Jing Shui could create such a phenomenon
with a wave of his hand.
The ground shook, and the arena in the center of Qianjue Plaza disappeared! In its place was a thousand-meter deep pit, and different sounds continuously rang out as the power of a formation erupted from within the pit.
Rumble!
Suddenly, there was a loud bang. A mountain rose from the thousand-meter deep pit that even towered into the clouds.
To be able to casually create a mountain, what kind of phenomenon was this? Furthermore, this mountain was not an illusion at all, but a real existence!
Ye Chen looked up at the mountain. In the center, there was a flight of stairs, which appeared to exude spiritual pressure.
At the foot of the mountain, there was a black tombstone that was dozens of meters long.
On the tombstone were written a few words…
Dragon Cleansing Pool!
The Dragon Cleansing Pool was at the top of the mountain!
Mr. Jingshui stopped and said, “This mountain is a supreme opportunity for you geniuses. Ordinary people can’t set foot on this mountain, but I can bring you up and buy you more time.”
“The Dragon Cleansing Pool only lasts for three days. After three days, this mountain will disappear. If one waits for this opportunity to appear again, they would have to wait a hundred years, or even a thousand years.”
As soon as these words were said, countless envious gazes shot toward those who had qualified.
Ordinary people could not ascend the Dragon Cleansing Pool, and required Mr. Jingshui’s assistance to reach the top of the mountain.
Only ten people could enjoy this supreme opportunity. Who would not be envious?
“Let’s cut to the chase. I’ll bring you up now.”
Mister Jingshui waved his hand lightly, and ten circles of light appeared on the ground.
“Enter the circles of light.”
When the circles of light appeared, two figures quickly flew over from the crowd.
They were Ji Siqing and Elder Ke.
Ji Siqing had a recommendation spot, so she naturally could enter the Dragon Cleansing Pool.
Initially, Ji Siqing’s face was still cold and unhappy because of what had happened just now. However, when she saw Ye Chen standing not far away, she was pleasantly surprised.
Ye Chen was actually fine?
He even qualified as well? How was this possible?
What happened when she was not around?
Even Elder Ke’s body froze, and her expression was very ugly.
Her heart was in turmoil and she was extremely surprised.
“This kid actually survived with his strength? Could it be that something happened during this period of time?”
Elder Ke stopped thinking and said to Ji Siqing, “Siqing, go. Since Ye Chen is fine, don’t blame me. I only did this for you and the sect.
Ji Siqing snorted coldly and stepped on a circle of light. She bowed and greeted him, “Mr. Jingshui.”
Mr. Jingshui nodded. He had a good impression of Ji Siqing. After all, she was considered a top genius of the Kunlun Mountains.
If she did not die prematurely, she might even become one of the movers and shakers in the Kunlun Mountains in a few decades.
Ye Chen and Wei Ying also stepped into their circles of light.
The ten of them were ready to go.
Mr. Jingshui’s fingers formed a seal, and light swirled around his palm.
The ten circles of light suddenly flashed.
Then, he seemed to have thought of something and stopped what he was doing.
He looked at Ye Chen with a burning gaze and said shockingly, “Ye Chen, I see that you’re quite talented. Are you willing to be my disciple?”
As soon as he said that, everyone’s expression changed.
No one would have thought that Mr. Jingshui would accept a disciple at a time like this. What the f *ck was going on?
Mr. Jingshui had not taken in any disciples for many years. Why did he suddenly do this?
Countless envious gazes turned to Ye Chen, and for some, that envy turned into hatred.
Ji Siqing’s lips curled into a smile. She was happy for Ye Chen. After all, Mr. Jingshui was a legendary existence in the Kunlun Mountains.
With Mr. Jingshui’s backing, almost no sect would dare to touch Ye Chen.
After all, Ye Chen was too good at causing trouble. He desperately needed this protection.
