Peerless War God

His gaze was very firm, and he had already made up his mind that he would not change it easily.    

"I have already made up my mind. There are two reasons. One, I believe in Boss Zi Jing. Two, it is because of you, Chen Xiao."    

As he spoke, the Heavenly Star Swordmaster smiled and pointed at Chen Xiao.    

Chen Xiao was stunned and pointed at himself, "Me?"    

The Heavenly Star Swordmaster sighed and said, "That's right. Because of you, your progress is too fast. In less than a thousand years, you have already passed the first Longevity Tribulation. Your strength has increased by leaps and bounds. If this continues, it won't be long before you surpass me."    

"Ah?"    

Chen Xiao smiled bitterly. Was this the reason? It was too absurd.    

"Don't be impulsive. The Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda is filled with dangers and is incomparably dangerous. Don't act recklessly."    

Chen Xiao advised.    

He suddenly felt the pressure on his shoulders. He did not want the Heavenly Star Swordmaster to take the risk of going to the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda because of him.    

If something really happened to him, he would feel bad.    

The Duke of Zi Jin stood at the side, smiling lightly, shaking his head and not saying a word.    

The Heavenly Star Swordmaster laughed loudly, "Chen Xiao, you don't have to think about it. I was just joking. This decision isn't made because of you, but because I want to explore the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda. As a person, you have to have a bit of pursuit. Go and force yourself to do something."    

Chen Xiao was stunned, and his eyes were a little dazed. "You..."    

Beside him, Gu Changsheng and the Yin Yang Master looked conflicted and hesitant.    

When Marquis Zi Jin saw this, he said indifferently, "You don't have to worry. The matter of the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda opening is only to inform you. As for whether you want to go or not, you can decide for yourself. I won't force you."    

"Thank you, City Lord." When the Yin Yang Master heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief.    

"Got it, City Lord." Gu Changsheng's face was dark, and no one knew what he was thinking about.    

Marquis Zi Jin looked at Chen Xiao and said, "You too. There's no need to put too much pressure on yourself. Although the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda is a great opportunity, it is also extremely dangerous. You should be careful."    

"Yes." Chen Xiao nodded and quickly began to think.    

Go, or not? He was very conflicted in his heart.    

After a pause, Marquis Zi Jin continued, "The Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda is about to open. If you want to enter, you must have the Divine Pagoda Token. According to the previous rules, half of the Divine Pagoda Token will be distributed first. The people of the Nine Great Sects and various cultivation forces of all sizes will have a share. Our Violet Cloud City also has a share.    

As for the rest of the Divine Pagoda Token, it will be distributed to the rogue cultivators so that they can have a chance to enter the Divine Pagoda and see the opportunity."    

Chen Xiao heard this and felt that this was very fair.    

However, when he thought about how there was less than one in ten people who would enter the Divine Pagoda, he felt a chill down his back. Entering the Divine Pagoda was too dangerous.    

"To the itinerant cultivators? How do we split it?" Gu Changsheng asked in surprise.    

"It's very simple. We will auction it off. The highest bidder will get it," the Duke of Zijin said indifferently.    

"Ah? That works too. Isn't it too easy?" Gu Changsheng said in surprise.    

The Duke of Zijin had an indifferent expression as he said, "You should know that this portion of the token is only needed to be sent out. As for who gets it, it's not important."    

"This..."    

Hearing this, Chen Xiao was shocked. So that was the case.    

"Heh, the Nine Great Sects are truly sinister. On the surface, they are fair, and they are distributing half of the tokens to the itinerant cultivators, but in reality, they are using these itinerant cultivators to help scout the path and be the backer. This way, they can maximize their gains. Truly sinister."    

Inside the Soul Sea, Xiluo cursed.    

Chen Xiao nodded. It seemed that he had indeed thought of this.    

"Although that's the case, the choice is in the hands of the itinerant cultivators. Whether they go or not is up to their own will."    

Chen Xiao retorted.    

Xiluo shook his head and said, "Naive. The weak have never had the right to choose. You think that you have it, but it's just a delusion given to you by others."    

When Chen Xiao heard this, he fell into deep thought and did not refute.    

"Tch, the Nine Great Sects are still so powerful. Their actions are overbearing, making people very unhappy." The Yin Yang Master cursed, his face filled with displeasure.    

Gu Changsheng shook his head and sighed. "If they distribute the tokens in this way, they are clearly intentionally causing a fight and weakening the strength of the itinerant cultivators. They are suppressing the itinerant cultivators. Such thoughts are truly vicious."    

"Yes, I do have this intention." The Heavenly Star Swordmaster frowned.    

The Duke of Zijin said with an indifferent expression, "You all are too naive. Since ancient times, the Divine Realm has always been a place where the strong reign supreme. Strength is the king, and nothing is important other than strength. It is the same for the nine great sects and the rogue cultivators. There is no difference. You all should know this in your hearts and not harbor any false thoughts."    

The moment these words were spoken, Chen Xiao and the other three were completely stunned.    

His face was filled with realization as he came to a realization in his heart. That's right, this world was very cruel. It had always been the strong reign supreme, and strength was the king. Seeking justice and justice was just a dream, and there was no meaning to it.    

Only one's own strength was the foundation that allowed one to stand firmly on the ground.    

"I have learned."    

The few of them replied in unison, their eyes becoming much clearer.    

The Heavenly Star Swordmaster sighed and asked, "Boss Zihong, then how should we deal with this matter?"    

"I'm afraid that the Divine Realm will not be peaceful for long. You all should act according to the situation. As for the matter of the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda, you can come and find me after you have thought it through. I will temporarily keep the token, but I won't force you to do anything."    

The Duke of Zijin said indifferently.    

"Yes."    

"Got it, City Lord."    

Chen Xiao and the other two replied in unison.    

The Duke of Zijin casually waved his hand and said, "En, that's it. Let's disperse. Heavenly Star, you stay here for a while. I have something to say to you."    

The Heavenly Star Swordmaster was stunned and understood something. He said, "Alright."    

Gu Changsheng had a complicated expression on his face as he glanced at the Heavenly Star Swordmaster before leaving.    

Yin Yang Dao Sovereign was a little envious, but when he thought about his own strength, he realized that he was also lacking in strength, so he could only leave with them.    

Chen Xiao glanced at the Purple Gold Marquis and Heavenly Star Sword Sovereign, and he seemed to have understood something. He cupped his fists and turned around to leave.    

After leaving the Purple Hall, Xi Luo said, "Heavenly Star Sword Sovereign was left behind. There must be something special about it."    

Chen Xiao nodded and said, "Of course, it must be related to the Nine-Tiered Divine Pagoda. We will have to talk about it in person."    

This was also what he had expected. In the matter of the Nine-Tiered Divine Pagoda, he, Gu Changsheng, and Yin Yang Dao Sovereign were all hesitant, not sure if they should make a decision.    

On the other hand, Heavenly Star Sword Sovereign was the first to express his desire to challenge it. It was also reasonable for him to be left behind.    

At this time, Xi Luo muttered to himself for a moment, and then his eyes lit up. He seemed to have understood something, and he said, "I suddenly understand a bit. Back then, the Purple Gold Marquis tried to rope you in to help him today. He wanted you to challenge the Nine-Tiered Divine Pagoda so that you could share the danger."    

When he said this, Chen Xiao's expression froze, and his fists clenched.    

The past flashed before his eyes, causing him to fall into a state of reminiscence.    

After a moment, he came back to his senses and chuckled lightly. "Your guess is indeed reasonable, but back then, Big Brother Zi Jing helped me, and it was also true. If it wasn't for Big Brother Zi Jing's help, I wouldn't have been able to reach this day."    

Some things were not important, but the result was the most important.
