Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 103: The Performance of the People at the Three Passes of Longmen

True Spirit Continent, Nanzhuo Region, the Ancient Land of Zhenlong.

The ancient land of Zhenlong has existed since ancient times. It is said that it suppressed seventy-two dragon veins. Among these dragon veins, the underground dragon vein of Qianlong Ancient City is the most respected.

The ancient land of Zhenlong is not only a place of good fortune, but also a place of fatal killing.

According to ancient records, many kings of the realm of life and death have perished in the ancient land of Zhenlong, and even an emperor has existed.

The original Zhenlong Ancient Land was not completely empty, but it was sparsely populated.

But now, all kinds of warriors can be seen everywhere in Zhenlong Ancient Land, they are either alone or in groups...

Even a powerful person at the Star Realm would appear from time to time!
Because the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition held every three years is about to begin. This is a competition among many forces in Nanzhuo Domain to compete for the fortune of Nanzhuo Domain. Naturally, it has attracted countless geniuses and strong people in Nanzhuo Domain to gather here.

Any genius who can make it into the top 72 in this competition will not only receive the blessing of Nanzhuo Territory's luck, but even the sects and families behind them will benefit greatly.

In the central area of Zhenlong Ancient Land, there is a very special place. Winding mountains from all directions guard this place like long dragons. In the core of these thousands of mountains, there is an extremely magnificent ancient city. It is the venue for all previous Qianlong List competitions, Qianlong Ancient City.

The ancient city of Qianlong has existed since ancient times and has stood here for endless years. Even the kings of the life and death realm dare not interfere with the luck competition held in the ancient city of Qianlong.

At this time, the Qianlong Ranking competition is about to begin. Millions of warriors have gathered on the vast plain outside the south gate of Qianlong Ancient City. The mountains and plains are filled with people.

At this time, the forces that arrived earlier had already built temporary settlements. As for the lone travelers, they were more casual. They either sat cross-legged on the ground waiting, or made a fire to grill food, or gathered with friends to chat...

Among these many forces, the sixth-grade sects Luoxia Sect, Tianyun Sect, Wuqing Sect, Feitian Demon Sect, Huoling Palace, Bingjue Sect, and Xuankong Mountain are the most respected!

The difference in strength between the seventh-grade sect and the ninth-grade sect is not too big. It is only because of the difference in foundation and scale that there is a division between the seventh and ninth grades!

But the sixth-grade sect is different!
Any sixth-grade sect will always have a powerful person in the Spirit Sea Realm in charge. A powerful person in the Spirit Sea Realm can destroy many seventh-grade sects alone, so his status is naturally very high.

Even the large open space closest to Qianlong Ancient City is exclusively owned by these seven sixth-grade sects. No one else dares to go up and rob it, and no one dares to approach that area.

At this moment, more than ten figures flew quickly from the distant sky. They were Ye Chen who came from afar, and Lu Qingshan and others who had just crossed the border.

Because they were going to participate in the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition, except for Lu Qingshan and Tianmeng Bingcan, everyone else used various means to change their appearance and become what they looked like in their youth.

At this time, Ye Chen, Yue Buqun, Cao Cao, and Meng Huan either had swords hanging from their waists or carried long swords on their backs; Xiao Yan and Han Li stood with their hands behind their backs; Pang Bo and Tianmeng, the ice silkworms transformed into tall and burly men, each of them looked very energetic!
In front of these eight people was Lu Qingshan, who was wearing a purple-gold robe. Even though his aura had been completely restrained, he still looked extremely extraordinary!
"Group leader, brothers!"

Ye Chen pointed to the Qianlong Ancient City in front of him and introduced: "The Qianlong Ancient City is in front of us. The Qianlong Ranking Competition is held there, and it is about to begin!"

"A city of this size is rare!"

Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh: "Even if the whole Han Dynasty were to mobilize all its forces, it would be extremely difficult to build such a magnificent city!"

Yue Buqun standing by also sighed in his heart, the productivity in the world where he and Cao Cao lived was very low, and there was no supreme power, so it was naturally difficult for a city of this scale to appear.

Fortunately, they had also been to the worlds of other group members, and had even seen Lu Qingshan’s magnificent kingdom of God, so they were not too shocked after seeing the Qianlong Ancient City.

“It does look extraordinary!”

Xiao Yan smiled and said: "I don't know how strong those geniuses who are ranked at the top of the Hidden Dragon List are, and whether I can give it my all!"

"Hahaha!"

Pang Bo on the side laughed loudly and said, "Xiao Yan, don't be too proud, as long as the group leader can solve the rules of Qianlong Ancient City, we two will have to compete this time!"

If his strength had not been suppressed, Pang Bo would naturally not be Xiao Yan's opponent now. But before being teleported here this time, except for Lu Qingshan, everyone else had suppressed their cultivation to the level equivalent to the peak of Baoyuan Realm. Pang Bo naturally wanted to see who was stronger among those in the same realm!

At this time, Ye Chen continued, "Group leader, and brothers, my Liuyun Sect has already built a temporary base outside Qianlong Ancient City. I wonder if you are willing to go there and wait?"

"Of course I'll go!"

Pangbo immediately said: "I really want to see what the golden dragon looks like after it transforms into a human form?"

Xiao Yan also said: "In fact, I also want to see it and see what the difference is between the golden dragon and the Taixu Ancient Dragon in my world!"

At this time, Xiao Yan had already arrived at Canaan Academy for a long time, so he had naturally seen Zi Yan, who was the incarnation of the Taixu ancient dragon. Xu Jing from Liuyun Sect was also the incarnation of a golden dragon.

Moreover, the life stories of both of them are very bizarre. Zi Yan is the daughter of Zhu Kun, the patriarch of the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan and the top Dou Sheng powerhouse, while Xu Jing is the daughter of the Golden Supreme, a super powerful person from the Golden Dragon lineage.

"Group leader, what do you think?" Ye Chen asked with the same smile.

"Since everyone wants to go over and take a look, let's go over and say hello!"

Lu Qingshan smiled and said, "It just so happens that I am also a little curious about the golden dragon. I wonder if it is a star beast or a demon in my world..."

Seeing that no one objected, Ye Chen quickly brought Lu Qingshan and his party to the Liuyun Sect’s headquarters.

At this time, the Qianlong Ranking competition was about to begin, and the people from the Liuyun Sect who had already arrived outside the Qianlong Ancient City were looking forward to Ye Chen's appearance.

After all, Ye Chen’s performance in the Tianmeng Ancient Land was so amazing that everyone in Liuyun Sect regarded Ye Chen as the hope of Liuyun Sect to break into the top 72 in this Qianlong Ranking competition.

Once Ye Chen breaks into the top 72 of the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition and obtains the blessing of dragon vein energy, Liuyun Sect will also be able to obtain many benefits.

At this moment, Ye Chen quickly appeared in front of everyone from Liuyun Sect with Lu Qingshan and his party.

After seeing Lu Qingshan and his group, the pupils of the Liuyun Sect's inner sect elder suddenly shrank.

"metropolitan!"

The Great Elder of Liuyun Sect quickly looked at the Sect Master Luo Xinglie standing beside him, and then said in a voice transmission: "Do you still remember that tall, burly man with long hair? It was he who helped us repel the people from Zhongyue Sect. His strength is unfathomable!"

"I didn't expect that he would also come to participate in the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition!"

Luo Xinglie, the leader of Liuyun Sect, was also slightly surprised, and then he also said in a voice transmission: "I don't know what the identities of him and the others around Ye Chen are. Most of them don't look very old. Could they all be geniuses who can participate in the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition?"

"metropolitan!"

At the same time that Luo Xinglie and the others were secretly communicating, Ye Chen quickly came in front of them, then bowed slightly and greeted them.

"Ye Chen!"

Luo Xinglie, the leader of Liuyun Sect, nodded slightly to Ye Chen, and then asked with a hint of doubt: "Who are these people?"

"We are all Ye Chen's friends!"

Pang Bo smiled and said, "I came here with Ye Chen this time just to try to participate in the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition!"

After hearing this, Luo Xinglie's mouth twitched involuntarily.

You know, the person who spoke now was able to easily kill a warrior in the middle stage of Baoyuan Realm a year ago, so how powerful would he be now?

I'm afraid that even if he has the strength of the peak of Baoyuan Realm, he may not be able to withstand a few moves at the hands of the opponent!
Soon, Ye Chen brought Lu Qingshan and his party to meet several other geniuses in Liuyun Sect, including Luo Hanshan, the son of the Sect Master of Liuyun Sect, Zhu Mei, the genius of Liuyun Sect, and the most important one was of course Xu Jing, who was transformed from a giant golden dragon.

Of course, although Pang Bo and others were curious, they did not do anything unusual towards Xu Jing.

After all, Xu Jing is one of Ye Chen's future wives, so they naturally have to keep a certain distance.

In this way, as time passed, the ancient city of Qianlong was finally opened.

A rumbling sound spread in all directions, and the south gate of Qianlong Ancient City burst open, as if the door to heaven had been opened, shocking everyone present.

Outside the South City Gate, the ground slowly cracked and moved to both sides. Then three huge platforms with a diameter of several kilometers emerged, connected to each other by cable bridges.

There was a huge light curtain made of blue light in the direction of the first platform, blocking the way forward;

On the second platform, there is a tall palace made of crystal, emitting colorful light. Through the crystal wall, you can see many jade tablets tied to the top of the palace with silk threads.

There was nothing on the third platform, except for an abyss between it and the South City Gate. On the rock walls of the abyss were carved scenes of many flowers, birds, fish, insects, and even real dragons!
These are the three Dragon Gate gates that many young talents in Nanzhuo Domain need to pass to enter Qianlong Ancient City. Only by passing these three gates and entering Qianlong Ancient City will they be eligible to participate in the upcoming Qianlong Ranking competition!
Seeing the three gates of Longmen appear, everyone around was talking about it, guessing how many geniuses could pass the three gates of Longmen this time.

At the same time, many super geniuses also started to challenge the levels. The first to take action were naturally those with strong strength, such as the first place in the previous Hidden Dragon List, the king bloodline of the sixth-grade sect Xuankong Mountain, 'Sikong Sheng', and the Fire Spirit Prince, who also ranked in the top ten in the previous Hidden Dragon List, Lin Yun and others...

"Ye Chen!"

Seeing the three gates of Longmen appear, the leader of Liuyun Sect quickly said: "I wonder how many of your friends want to participate in the Hidden Dragon List competition? Now that the three gates of Longmen have appeared, time is limited, you can go now!" After hearing this, Pangbo and others all looked at Lu Qingshan, who was in the lead.

Xiao Yan and Han Li are relatively young, so they can naturally pass the levels easily, but it is different for the others. Without Lu Qingshan’s help, they cannot withstand the backlash of the rules of Qianlong Ancient City!

Seeing this, Lu Qingshan's mind moved, and invisible divine power instantly spread out, and then directly penetrated into the three gates of Longmen in front of him, and even the interior of Qianlong Ancient City.

"This Qianlong Ancient City is quite mysterious!"

While Lu Qingshan was exploring the many secrets in Qianlong Ancient City, he was also looking for loopholes in the rules of Qianlong Ancient City: "The operating rules of Qianlong Ancient City are quite complicated. If I had just broken through to become immortal, I would not have been able to solve this problem, but now it is not difficult for me!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly waved his hand and sent out several streams of light flying towards Pangbo and others, and then said: "The matter has been resolved by me, you can all participate in the competition now, I hope you can all get a good result!"

After hearing what Lu Qingshan said, Pang Bo and others who were over 24 years old all breathed a sigh of relief.

After thanking Lu Qingshan, Pang Bo and others quickly rushed to the three gates of Longmen under the leadership of Ye Chen.

The three levels of Dragon Gate are divided into the Wall Breaking Level, the Card Grabbing Level, and the final Leaping over the Dragon Gate!
To break through the wall, you only need to use your powerful strength to break through the blue light curtain on the first platform. It seems simple, but the defense ability of the light curtain is comparable to that of a warrior in the early Baoyuan realm.

The card-grabbing stage requires great strength, either to dodge, or to resist, or to directly blast through the rays of light that are comparable to the attacks of warriors in the early Baoyuan realm, and finally to obtain a jade card to successfully pass;

As for the final Leap Over Dragon Gate, it is the most difficult of the three levels of Dragon Gate. One needs to resist the terrible gravity in the abyss and the devil's sound while jumping directly onto the south gate of Qianlong Ancient City!
Most people in the chat group are extremely powerful, so the three levels of Longmen pose no threat to them.

Only the weaker Yue Buqun and Cao Cao are more troublesome. After all, although the chat group can suppress their cultivation, it cannot increase their cultivation.

It was for this reason that the others asked the two of them to challenge the level together with Luo Hanshan and others from Liuyun Sect.

Among them, Yue Buqun was stronger, he could be considered to be in the middle stage of Baoyuan Realm. With his Huashan swordsmanship, although it was quite difficult to break through, he finally reached the south gate of Qianlong Ancient City.

As for Cao Cao, the weakest one, who is only at the early stage of Baoyuan realm, it is much more difficult for him to break through the three gates of Longmen.

The first level was quite simple. Cao Cao finally made it through after exerting all his strength.
The difficulty of the second level increased a lot. With Cao Cao's strength, it was difficult to resist the rays of light and get the jade token. However, although the rays of light attacked very quickly, they were very sparse in some places and there was a pattern when they appeared. So after observing for a while, Cao Cao finally relied on his powerful calculation ability to avoid most of the rays of light, and then barely resisted a few rays of light, and finally got the jade token.

The third level was the most difficult, and Luo Hanshan from Liuyun Sect failed here. He originally thought that Cao Cao, who was slightly weaker than him, would be eliminated at the third level together with him, but he did not expect that Cao Cao would successfully rush to the south gate of Qianlong Ancient City together with the others.

"Fortunately, I didn't embarrass anyone!" Cao Cao, who rushed to the South Gate, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, with Cao Cao's strength, passing the second level was already his limit, but the most difficult part of the third level was the 'Magic Sound in the Ears'. Cao Cao had already experienced many years of war in the world of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and his willpower was naturally not comparable to those geniuses who were only in their twenties. Therefore, the threat of the third level to him was not even as great as that of the second level. In the end, he naturally climbed up the south wall of Qianlong Ancient City smoothly.

On the other side, after seeing Yue Buqun and his companions finish the challenge, Ye Chen, Pang Bo and others also quickly started the challenge.

Although the strength of Pangbo and others was all suppressed, they had also reached the peak of Baoyuan Realm. Coupled with their own powerful methods, it was naturally easy for them to pass through the three gates of Longmen.

So as soon as they started to break through the levels, they broke through three levels in a row with great momentum and soon appeared on the south gate of Qianlong Ancient City. Their speed was no slower than those super geniuses who ranked in the top ten of the Qianlong list in the previous session.

Everyone else who saw this scene was shocked.

You know, it was not just one or two people who passed the three gates of Longmen so quickly with Ye Chen. The appearance of so many people at the same time naturally attracted the attention of many people.

"What? Who are these people? Why have I never heard of them?"

"These people passed through the three levels of Dragon Gate so easily. They are not inferior to the top ten super geniuses at all. It's simply terrifying!"

"I guess they are all new young masters. This year's Hidden Dragon Ranking competition is indeed the most prosperous one in a thousand years. The strength of those veteran geniuses is already terrifying. I didn't expect that there would be so many powerful newcomers!"

"Masters, these people are definitely super masters!"

……

"That terrifying mysterious strong man has finally arrived!"

After seeing Pangbo's figure appear on the south city gate, Yuan Hengying, the eldest disciple of Tianying Castle, felt a sudden tightness in his heart.

You know, the scene where Pang Bo killed the elder of Zhongyue Sect with one punch outside the Tianmeng Ancient Land left a very deep impression on him.

Even now, he is not absolutely sure that he can kill an elder of Zhongyue Sect who is in the middle stage of Baoyuan Realm, but Pang Bo was able to do it a year ago, and he did it under the siege of many powerful people!

"And that hateful Ye Chen. Damn it, how did he cultivate to the late stage of Baoyuan Realm?" Yuan Hengying became extremely fearful again.

When he first met Ye Chen, whose cultivation was lower than his, in the Tianmeng Ancient Land, he thought he could crush the opponent, but he did not expect that he would be defeated by Ye Chen who was at a higher level.

This incident was naturally a humiliation for him. He had originally thought that he could take revenge during the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition, but now...

At this moment, some geniuses who had known Ye Chen before came forward to greet him after seeing him appear. Among them was Murong Qingcheng from the Feitian Demon Sect, who was also one of Ye Chen’s wives in the original plot.

Murong Qingcheng is the second disciple of the sixth-grade Black Sky Demon Sect, and also one of the two most beautiful women in the Black Dragon Empire. She combines talent and beauty, and is naturally the most perfect partner in the hearts of countless powerful and talented warriors.

Seeing that Murong Qingcheng and Ye Chen were talking quite harmoniously and seemed to be quite intimate, some narrow-minded and arrogant geniuses suddenly felt jealous and even wanted to teach Ye Chen a lesson. The strongest among them was Lin Yun, the eldest disciple of Tian Yun Sect.

As the eldest disciple of the sixth-grade Tianyun Sect, Lin Yun had made a great breakthrough in strength before the Qianlong Ranking competition. He had long felt that his talent was superior to others and even did not take Sikong Sheng, the first place winner of the previous Qianlong Ranking competition, seriously.

Even in Lin Yun's heart, Murong Qingcheng had already become his designated partner.

But now, an unknown little person was having such an intimate conversation with his partner, so he naturally wanted to teach him a lesson.

Thinking of this, Lin Yun instantly poured the artistic conception of the Tian Yun Dafa he had cultivated into his eyes, and then looked directly at Ye Chen with a smile, his eyes like a meteor falling to the ground, destroying everything.

Although Lin Yun's attack was aimed at Ye Chen, the first person to notice it was Han Li, who was always extremely cautious. He moved a step without making a sound and instantly stood between Lin Yun and Ye Chen.

In fact, his original habit was to retreat behind Ye Chen and others, but considering that Lin Yun’s strength was too weak, and the rules of the entire Qianlong Ancient City were broken by the group leader, he naturally had nothing to fear here, so he directly helped Ye Chen to block it.

In the chat group.

[Han Li: Ye Chen, why is this guy hostile to you? Picture (Lin Yun).JPG]

[Ye Chen: Thank you, Brother Han! I just noticed it too. I wanted to teach him a lesson, but you, Brother Han, stopped me! This man is Lin Yun from the Tian Yun Sect. He is hostile to me because of Qingcheng! ]

[Pang Bo: Damn, this guy is too petty! Besides, what does Murong Qingcheng have to do with him? Do you want us to help you teach him a lesson? ]

【Han Li: Let’s not create unnecessary trouble! 】

[Xiao Yan: That’s right! We’ll teach him a lesson during the competition. Then we’ll kick him out of the top ten. It will definitely be more painful than killing him!]

[Han Li: We won't get into any trouble if we do this, right?]

[Pang Bo: Han Li, you are too timid! Besides, we have the group leader leading us this time, what are you afraid of? ]

……

On the other side, after seeing that Pangbo and his group and Ye Chen had all passed the three gates of Longmen at an astonishing speed, Liuyun Sect's leader Luo Xinglie could not help but look at each other with expressions of extreme shock on his faces.

"metropolitan!"

The Great Elder of Liuyun Sect, who had seen Pangbo's forces, couldn't help but send a message: "Who are these friends of Ye Chen? Are they all core disciples of the fifth-grade sects?"

"How do I know this?"

Luo Xinglie, the leader of Liuyun Sect, also shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying, "Let alone Ye Chen's friends, even Ye Chen's strength is a little hard for me to figure out now!"

"I thought it was incredible when I saw his cultivation level reach the late Bao Yuan Realm, but I didn't expect that this was only a small part of his strength!"

"metropolitan!"

The Great Elder of Liuyun Sect transmitted his voice again and said: "No matter what, with Ye Chen here this time, our Liuyun Sect will definitely have a share of the fortune of Zhenlong Ancient Land, and it will be a significant share!"

The three levels of Longmen are the preliminary levels for testing the strength of the contestants. From Ye Chen's terrifying speed in passing the levels, they also learned about some of Ye Chen's strength.

"correct!"

The Great Elder of Liuyun Sect quickly continued to transmit his voice: "Sect Master, aren't there two of Ye Chen's friends who haven't participated in the Dragon Gate Three Passes? Especially the middle-aged man in the purple-gold robe. Although I can't see his strength, he seems to be more mysterious than the masters of those sixth-grade sects. We must not neglect him!"

"I understand!" Luo Xinglie quickly nodded in response.
