BXBX NOVEL Chapter 913 - The Gathering of the Elites
Chapter 913 The Gathering of the Elites
Those three people arrived with a fierce attitude and many cultivators of the Beihuang Region were discontent about it. Those from the Wu family and the Alchemy Guild were enraged.
Chen Beixuan was the Elixir Monarch and was as superior as the leader of the Heavenly Lord Families. How could they call him by his name directly? Even Hu Xiao addressed him as Elixir Monarch Chen, no matter how arrogant he was.
“Who are you? How dare you...?” As Wu Qinyan spoke, Wu Baisu suddenly interrupted her.
“Sister, their leader is Lichen, the Heavenly Jade Sword Prince.”
“Lichen?”
Wu Qinyan sized up the man in the middle, who was in a white outfit and was carrying a sword. Then, his eyes popped out and he gasped.
Most people on the Ancient Deity Plateau had already recognized them.
“Is he really Lichen? He’s the Sword Prince from the Heavenly Jade Institute, which is a Heavenly Sect that is among the top three Sword Sects on Planet Tianhuang, alongside the Haotian Sword Sect. Lichen ranks even higher than Wang Xuanlong on the Longevity Roll!”
“That’s right. He’s wearing a white outfit and is carrying a sword. He has black hair and the Big Dipper on his clothes is the symbol of Heavenly Jade Institute. He must be Lichen.”
“Oh no, Lichen is here. We’re in trouble.”
Many people were terrified.
Lichen was ranked at the seventy fourth place on the Longevity Roll and was a real swordsman! Added to that, the Heavenly Jade Institute was even more powerful than the Wang family of the Beihuang Region.
How could anyone not be afraid when the heir of such a Heavenly Sect made an appearance?
Wu Baisu, Feng Yuqiu, Nin Haichao and Wang Xuanfeng frowned and looked frightened.
Even Wang Xuanlong got up and laughed.
“Why are you here in the Beihuang Region?”
Wang Xuanlong was surrounded by stars and his eyes twinkled. When people looked at him, there seemed to be images depicting planets and the destruction of the universe behind him. He was as impressive as Lichen.
Although the Heavenly Jade Institute was a Heavenly Sect, their disciples were mostly gathered in the south of Planet Tianhuang. The Beihuang Region was in the north most part and didn’t have much contact with the Heavenly Jade Institute.
“I heard that there’s a new Elixir Monarch. I had to come!” Lichen said with a cold voice.
He glanced over and countless people lowered their heads. They felt like there was a blade aura in Lichen’s eyes and their Divine Souls could crack if they looked at him.
“He’s definitely the Heavenly Jade Sword Prince, or he wouldn’t be so powerful!”
Many were terrified.
Even Chen Fan sized him up.
Although Lichen wasn’t as powerful as the Haotian Sword Prince, he wasn’t much weaker. Sword King had lost to the Haotian Sword Prince back then.
However, no matter how strong Lichen was, he was just like an ant in Chen Fan’s eyes.
“I can’t believe even Brother Lichen has heard about Elixir Monarch Chen. What a pleasure!” Wang Xuanlong smiled and glanced at the two cultivators next to Lichen.
“These two are?”
Wu Baisu and the others also wondered.
The three of them came together fiercely.
The man and woman next to Lichen seemed to be powerful as well, and they should also be famous.
“This is Goddess Long Hua from the Dragon Burial Region and this is Gufen, the Young Lord of Saint Fire City. Brother Wang should be familiar with their names,” Lichen introduced.
“Stth!”
After hearing what he said—
Everyone was startled and even Wang Xuanlong narrowed his eyes.
Long Hua was 189cm tall, as energetic as a leopard. She had purple long hair and dark purple eyes.
Gufen was bold and skinny, but his body was surrounded by white fire which made him look sacred.
But what was more terrifying was their identity.
“The Long family of the Dragon Burial Region and Saint Fire City are both historical! Long Hua and Gufen rank eighty-third and eighty-ninth on the Longevity Roll respectively, so they’re comparable to Wang Xuanlong...”
Everyone was shocked.
Those three were elites of the Longevity Roll.
Planet Tianhuang was vast. There were a few hundred Barren Regions, dozens of Heavenly Regions and many secret lands, Grotto-heavens and small worlds, which covered an area of billions of miles. Only a hundred cultivators could be listed on the Longevity Roll and Wang Xuanlong was the only one among them in the entire Beihuang Region in the last thousand years. As luck would have it, four of such elites had gathered there.
Together with the legendary Luo Changshen.
There were a total of five elites of the Longevity Roll on the Ancient Deity Plateau.
Thinking of this, even Wu Baisu was anxious.
The cultivators of the Beihuang Region were speechless.
“Lichen, Long Hua, Gufen, together with Wang Xuanlong and Luo Changshen, five elites are here at the Linjiang Deity Gathering. This has never happened before. Elixir Monarch Chen is incredible,” someone exclaimed.
“Haha, do you really think these elites have good intentions?” A skinny, elegant cultivator holding a folding fan shook his head.
“What do you mean?”
People around looked over immediately.
The elegant cultivator looked up and said coldly, “Among the regions on Planet Tianhuang, the Beihuang Region is located in the north and our cultivation arts have been declining. Over the last ten thousand years, we’ve only got one Heavenly Lord and only Wang Xuanlong got listed on the Longevity Roll in the past three thousand years. If we rank the Heavenly Regions again, the Beihuang Region would be at the bottom. Why would these heavy hitters even care about the Linjiang Deity Gathering?”
“They came for the Elixir Monarch... and not in a friendly way.”
Everyone was shocked and the person who spoke before said furiously, “The Elixir Monarch is the pride of the Beihuang Region and a peerless alchemy talent. Whoever offends him will be our enemy!”
“Right, even Heavenly Lords have to respect the Elixir Monarch. Do they really think they’ve already become Nascent Soul Cultivators?”
“How would Lichen and his friends be more powerful than the Wang family?”
Everyone said with anger.
The Beihuang Region had been the weaker one among the Heavenly Regions and many cultivators couldn’t even keep their heads up when they went to the other regions.
Since Chen Fan had arrived, all of them treated him as their pride and glory, and they couldn’t allow anyone to offend him.
“Even so, I’m afraid... that’s not necessarily true!”
The elegant cultivator heaved a sigh and seemed a bit worried.
“The Beihuang Region has many families and sects. Elixir Monarch Chen has provoked a lot of them. This is going to be tough for him.”
However, the people around him were too excited and they didn’t listen to him.
Meanwhile, on the plateau, the tall and sexy Long Hua said, “Wang Xuanlong, cut the crap! I heard there’s a new Elixir Monarch in the Beihuang Region. We came from the south to see if it’s true.”
Gufen also said, “Many regions are shocked by the fact that there’s a new Elixir Monarch. We’re only the first group to get here. I’m afraid more cultivators are on their way as well. I know that even the Alchemy King learned about it. You must be careful!”
Many people were stunned.
They knew what the two of them truly meant.
They were trying to say that Chen Fan was fake. People in the other Heavenly Regions didn’t believe that the Beihuang Region would have an Elixir Monarch, which was why they went there to see for themselves. Most of them were expecting to expose the truth.
Wang Xuanlong also frowned.
The Wang family had always seen the Beihuang Region as their own, so when cultivators from the other regions looked down on the Beihuang Region, Wang Xuanlong would certainly be enraged by it.
“Goddess Long Hua, please be respectful. His Majesty is an Elixir Monarch and even the leader of the Long family has to treat him well.
“Besides, the elders and the Guild Master of the Alchemy Guild confirmed it and many families agreed. Elixir Monarch Chen even made a Heavenly Pill of Earth Essence in front of everyone. How can it be fake...”
Before he finished talking...
Long Hua had already grunted.
“Who knows what the Beihuang Region is planning? The Alchemy Guild might have made up a story with Chen Beixuan to gain fame. How good is the judgement of the leaders of your families?”
“Goddess Longhua, what do you mean?”
Wang Xuanlong looked cold.
Long Hua not only believed that Chen Fan was a fake Elixir Monarch, she had also humiliated the Heavenly Lord Families of the Beihuang Region. A lot of elites looked upset and those from the Wu family and the Alchemy Guild were enraged. Only Situ Cheng sat there without saying a word.
“Long Hua didn’t mean it. Please don’t mind her. And yet, this is indeed a big deal. Our Sect Master met Alchemy King not long ago and Alchemy King was concerned about it as well,” Lichen said.
“Alchemy King knows?”
Wang Xuanlong was shocked.
Alchemy King was the real big cheese and a well-known Heavenly Alchemist on Planet Tianhuang. Even Heavenly Lords respected him. If he knew about it, who wouldn’t be concerned?
But then, what Lichen said didn’t only make everyone feel surprised.
“Besides, you might not know that, the last Elixir Monarch came from the Heavenly Jade Institute.”
“What?”
Everyone was astonished.
Even Wang Xuanlong seemed to be frightened.
“Do you really think anyone can become an Elixir Monarch after making just one Heavenly Pill?” Long Hua said with disdain.
“Yeah, an Elixir Monarch is someone second only to a Heavenly Alchemist. Even a Heavenly Lord has to respect him. Saint Fire City would have already gotten one if it were this easy.”
Gufen nodded.
“A lot of things have to be considered and many Heavenly Sects have to be involved before you can call yourself an Elixir Monarch, not just by making a Heavenly Pill. This isn’t just a title!” Lichen said.
His voice sounded cold.
After they stopped talking, everyone was speechless.
The atmosphere on the Ancient Deity Plateau became serious and Wang Xuanlong remained silent.
“Indeed, an Elixir Monarch is as superior as the leader of a Heavenly Lord Family. How can you become one just by making a Heavenly Pill?” many people asked the same question in their minds.
Lichen then said, “Of course, we’re not qualified to judge who can be an Elixir Monarch. We’re only here to see how powerful Chen Beixuan is. If he’s not strong and doesn’t know many Alchemy Arts, how can he be an Elixir Monarch?”
Everyone immediately looked at Chen Fan.
Chen Fan was instantly put under the spotlight.
