Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 74 Newcomers join the group
The State of Chu, the imperial capital, is located on the shores of Guize Lake.

At this time, a large group of people gathered here, because an extraordinary event was about to happen in the world - the supreme elder of the world's largest sect, Zhoushan Sword Sect, 'Heavenly Sword' Meng Huan will break through the void and ascend to heaven today!
"Master, I thought I would die of old age first, but I didn't expect that I would have the chance to see you break through the void and ascend to heaven before I die!"

The third disciple of 'Heaven Sword' Meng Huan, the seventh on 'Heavenly Ranking', 'War King' Liu Chengfeng laughed and said, "My luck is much better than my two brothers. I have no regrets in my life as I can see you ascend to heaven, Master!"

"Ascension in broad daylight has always been a legend! I never thought we would be able to see it with our own eyes today!"

"It is said that more than three hundred years ago, the Grand Elder of our Zhoushan Sword Sect, the father of 'Sky Sword' Meng Huan, 'Frost Sword' Meng Yiqiu ascended to heaven in broad daylight here!"

"It is said that the previous sect leader had personally witnessed the Supreme Elder Meng Yiqiu shattering the void, but he was unable to enter the Dao and died more than a hundred years ago!"

"Except for the strong ones on the God List, who else in this world can live that long!"

"Yes! The place where this Gui Ze Lake is located was originally a mountain. It is said that more than 300 years ago, Meng Yiqiu, the 'Frost Sword' who ascended to heaven in broad daylight, once fought with another powerful person on the God List, which wiped out the mountain, and then this Gui Ze Lake appeared!"

At this time, a group of people around were talking.

These sounds reached the ears of 'Tianjian' Meng Huan, but they had no effect on him.

He practiced sword skills with his father when he was young, traveled the world with a sword when he was a teenager, mastered the ultimate state of 'Ice Heart' at the age of thirty-two, ranked first on the Heavenly Ranking at the age of thirty-six, entered the Tao at the age of forty-eight, and even now he is capable of breaking through the void and ascending to heaven at dawn!

How many people throughout history can match such talent?

But compared with his father Meng Yi Qiu, his talent is totally insignificant!

"Now that I can ascend to heaven in broad daylight, maybe I can even see my father again!" 'Heavenly Sword' Meng Huan thought secretly.

After a moment, Meng Huan cast his gaze on his disciple, the 'War King' Liu Chengfeng: "Chengfeng, you are already the second on the Heavenly Ranking. Although your life is coming to an end, you still have more than ten years! With your talent and understanding, you still have a chance to enter the Dao!"

"Disciple will definitely work hard!" 'War King' Liu Chengfeng said respectfully.

Meng Huan's eyes swept over the other disciples and family members again.

He was not like his father Meng Yi Qiu, who was less than a hundred years old when he ascended to heaven, and all the people close to him were still alive.

Meng Huan had been practicing for nearly four hundred years at this point, and even if he had reached the Xiantian Xudan realm, his lifespan would only be two hundred years, so most of the people close to him had already passed away.

Now, only one son, one daughter and a few disciples are left by his side.

"Master, take care!" Meng Huan's disciples were very reluctant to leave.

"Father, I don't want you to leave!" Meng Huan's daughter had tears in her eyes. Although her talent for cultivation was pretty good, she was only at the Xiantian Solid Pill Realm and was nearing the end of her life. So she looked even older than the young Meng Huan.

Meng Huan reached out and gently stroked his daughter's head, then comforted her: "Xiao Si, you are already so old, you are not afraid of being laughed at by those younger generations!"

The people around all looked at Meng Huan respectfully.

Among those people were also people from the Duan family where Meng Huan’s aunt Meng Yuxiang belonged, but Meng Yuxiang had passed away many years ago, so the relationship between the two families had undoubtedly become much more distant.

This time he broke through the void and left, and the relationship between the Meng family and the Duan family naturally became more distant in the future.

"Okay!" Meng Huan let go of his daughter, and then quickly looked at his youngest son: "Xiaowu!"

"Father!" The youngest son Meng Wenxuan looked at Meng Huan: "In the future, I will definitely break through the void to see you and grandfather!"

"Hahaha, okay!" Meng Huan laughed.

But he was also very clear in his heart that although his youngest son was very talented, it would take him more than two hundred years of practice to achieve enlightenment, so the hope of him breaking through the void in the future was actually very slim!
But at this time, he certainly couldn't discourage the child's enthusiasm!
Thinking of this, Meng Huan quickly looked at Meng Wenxuan, and finally warned him seriously: "Xiao Wu, I know that you have long wanted to conquer the world and build a huge empire!"

"In fact, with your current strength, plus the assistance of Zhoushan Sword School, it is relatively easy to do this! But do you know why I have been stopping you?"

"My son knows!"

Meng Wenxuan quickly replied respectfully: "Father is worried that I will become obsessed with power and neglect my own cultivation!"

"That's right!"

Meng Huan nodded slowly, and then warned again: "Hundreds of years ago, the number one on the God List was 'Demon Lord' Xiahou Zhen. This person fought with your grandfather twice. This Guize Lake appeared because of the battle between this person and your grandfather!"

"Although Xiahou Zhen's strength is far inferior to your grandfather's, his talent is better than yours! Unfortunately, he hoped to unify the world in his early years. Later, because he wanted to kill other powerful people on the God List, he practiced the physical body method. In the end, he lost the possibility of breaking the void and died under your grandfather's sword!"

"I will remember my father's teachings!" Meng Wenxuan said hurriedly.

In fact, he really planned to wait for Meng Huan to ascend to heaven and then sweep the world with Zhoushan Sword Sect as the core, but now he is a little hesitant.

After all, after becoming a strong man on the God List, breaking the void is the most important thing!
It would have been fine if no one had broken the void before, but in the past few hundred years, his grandfather and father broke through the void twice and ascended to heaven in the same day, which gave him hope!

"Okay! I'm leaving!"

Meng Huan reminded again: "Xiao Wu, you must take good care of the family!"

"Please rest assured, father!" Meng Wenxuan nodded quickly.

Meng Huan's eyes swept over the people around him, then he flew directly into the air and pulled out an ordinary long sword from his waist.

After all, with his strength, even if he only uses the most ordinary weapons, it is enough to reach the realm of breaking the void.

As for the 'Frost Sword' left by his father Meng Yi Qiu and the 'Heavenly Sword' he nurtured himself, they had already become some of the best weapons in the world, so he kept them in the family.

Wow!

Meng Huan casually swung his sword, and a three-meter-long space gap was suddenly torn open in the void in front of him.

But at this moment...

Not far away, a stream of light actually rushed towards the space gap at a rapid speed, and at the same time, a loud laugh sounded between heaven and earth.

“Meng Huan, you two are indeed extraordinary! More than three hundred years ago, your father Meng Yiqiu broke through the void and ascended to heaven in broad daylight here. I didn’t expect that you would also ascend to heaven in broad daylight today!”

"I have never offended you two, father and son. I will lend you this Ascension Channel today. You shouldn't be so stingy, right?"

"What?" Everyone around was shocked when they saw this.

"It's actually him!" A hint of surprise flashed across Meng Huan's face.

This person is the second on the God List, 'Shadowless Blade' Zhou Conglong!

As early as when Meng Yi Qiu broke through the void and ascended to heaven, this person was already a powerful person in the innate realm. Afterwards, he directly entered the Tao and became one of the most powerful people on the divine list in the world.

As the older generation of powerful people on the God List passed away one after another, Meng Huan, the number one on the God List, was the only one in the world who could surpass him.

However, Zhou Conglong has completely disappeared since he destroyed a small sect more than a hundred years ago, and many people thought he had died.

I didn't expect that this person would show up today, and even wanted to ascend to heaven in broad daylight with the help of the void crack opened up by Meng Huan.

But just after half of Zhou Conglong's body rushed into the space gap, he suddenly felt a great terror coming in his heart.

"Heavenly punishment!" Zhou Conglong suddenly realized something.

But he was already nearing the end of his life, and even if the punishment from heaven was imminent, he could not care less!

As Zhou Conglong continued to rush forward, his entire body turned into nothingness under the punishment from heaven.

Watching Zhou Conglong's body being reduced to nothing under the punishment from heaven, Meng Huan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

In fact, he had previously thought about letting his disciples and children ascend to heaven in broad daylight with the help of the ascension channel he had opened up, but his father Meng Yi Qiu had long ago told him that according to the rules of heaven, one would not be qualified to ascend to heaven in broad daylight without the ability to break the void, so he gave up this idea.

I just didn’t expect Zhou Conglong to ignore the warning from heaven. But considering that he is nearing the end of his life, it is normal for him to want to give it a try!
Meng Huan came back to his senses, glanced at the people below, then smiled slightly and rushed directly into the dark space passage.

"Father!"

"Master!"

Meng Wenxuan and others below looked up at Meng Huan's disappearing figure and couldn't help but call out softly.

The space crack in the sky quickly closed, and Meng Huan was no longer seen.

Meng Yi Qiu and his son Meng Huan broke through the void and left one after another. Naturally, this incident became a great legend between heaven and earth.

Even the unique martial art "Sword of Heaven and Earth" used by the father and son is regarded as the best martial art in the world by countless practitioners in the world.

After the decline of the Meng family, this unique skill and the two magical weapons left by Meng Yi Qiu and his son caused countless disturbances in the world.

……

On the other side, after Meng Huan entered the space gap, he felt a mysterious force enveloping his body.

call!
This force carried him flying continuously in the pitch-black void, and in the blink of an eye he didn't know how many billions of miles he had flown.

And during each space travel, the scenes in Meng Huan's eyes kept changing.

Sometimes he saw huge stars in the distance; sometimes he saw a majestic demon sleeping soundly among the desolate stars; sometimes he saw a divine bird flying around a ball of fire...

Soon, Meng Huan saw an extremely huge star, with layers of thunder surrounding the star. Even from a very long distance, Meng Huan could feel the oppressive feeling coming from the star.

And under the wrapping of that mysterious power, Meng Huan was now flying towards the huge star.

"Breaking the void and ascending to a star like this?" Meng Huan guessed secretly. But just as Meng Huan rushed into the huge star under the influence of the mysterious power, his face changed slightly, because a strange voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Ding! Welcome to join the chat group!"

……

In the True Spirit Continent, the Chigu Desert, the Tianmeng Ancient Land.

The Tianmeng Ancient Land is a place of ancient heritage. It is usually located in the cracks of space and cannot be discovered by people at ordinary times. Only when it is actively opened can people enter.

Moreover, the Tianmeng Ancient Land will only open once every ten years, and only those with a bone age of no more than twenty-four can enter safely. Others who want to force their way in will be completely burned to ashes by the rules of the Tianmeng Ancient Land.

It is said that there are many treasures in the ancient land of Tianmeng, including magical weapons, elixirs from heaven and earth, and secret manuals of martial arts!

It is for this reason that every ten years when the Tianmeng Ancient Land opens, countless sects in the surrounding countries will send their talented disciples in to compete for opportunities for their respective sects.

For those talented elites who enter the Tianmeng Ancient Land, this is also a place where they can have an opportunity to break through their strength.

Basically, after each trial, nearly one-tenth of the talented elites who entered the Tianmeng Ancient Land would break through to the Baoyuan Realm, and the others who came out alive would also be able to improve their cultivation.

However, the death rate of the trials in the Tianmeng Ancient Land is also very high. Even if all the major sects send their most talented elite disciples to participate, the death rate will still be nearly half.

Even though the mortality rate is so high, for the future of the sect and to be able to quickly break through their own strength, countless sect geniuses will still continue to join in.

At this time in the Tianmeng Ancient Land, the trial has reached its final stage.

Deep in a lake, there stands an extremely majestic palace. It is unknown what material this palace is made of. It looks like gold but not gold, and like jade but not jade. It is glowing with colorful rays all over, giving people an extremely mysterious feeling.

This is the most important place in the Tianmeng Ancient Land, the Tianmeng Battle Palace.

Every genius who enters the Tianmeng Ancient Land wants to enter the Tianmeng Battle Palace.

At this time, the Tianmeng Battle Hall was guarded by an ancient black gold python with a body length of tens of meters, so countless geniuses were gathering together to besiege the ancient black gold python.

Among the countless geniuses who besieged the Ancient Black Gold Python, there was a figure dressed in white and holding a long sword, standing in the center of the group of geniuses. He performed extremely well when besieging the Ancient Black Gold Python.

This person is Ye Chen, a disciple of Liuyun Sect of Tianfeng Kingdom. Although his strength is only in the late stage of Condensation Realm, because he has comprehended the sword intent, even many warriors in the early stage of Baoyuan Realm may not be his match!

Under the siege of this group of geniuses, the ancient black gold python was now fighting a desperate battle.

As its injuries became more and more serious, the ancient black gold python soon let out a wail, and then its huge body fell heavily to the ground, completely losing its life.

Rumble!
As the ancient black-gold python died, the Tianmeng Battle Hall not far away immediately sensed it. The huge iron gate burst open, and then released a large amount of white light, shining on the people outside.

The true Qi in the bodies of a group of geniuses from the outside world began to fluctuate under the illumination of this white light. The cultivation of some of them even broke through directly. Ye Chen from Liuyun Sect was one of them.

Under the illumination of the pure white light, he instantly broke through to the peak of the late stage of the Condensation Realm as if it were a natural process.

Of course, this is inseparable from his previous accumulation!
"Come on!"

Seeing the Tianmeng Battle Hall open, the geniuses around went completely crazy and wanted to rush in.

"Get out of my way!"

Some powerful geniuses were the first to rush in, and some geniuses with more ruthless means even killed some disciples from other sects who stood in their way at will.

After Ye Chen circulated his true energy several times and found no problems, he quickly led several geniuses from Liuyun Sect into the Tianmeng Battle Hall.

A quarter of an hour later, the door of Tianmeng Battle Hall was closed again, and all the geniuses in the hall were separated.

Seeing this, Ye Chen could only sit cross-legged on the ground and try to use the rich energy of heaven and earth in the Tianmeng Battle Hall to meditate and practice.

At this moment, the rich energy of heaven and earth quickly poured into a huge crystal ball above him, and then a white human-shaped light and shadow soon appeared under the crystal ball. The other party was holding a sword, and his appearance looked exactly like Ye Chen at this moment!
Swish!
As soon as the white light appeared, it took a step forward and slashed at the real Ye Chen with a sword.

Ye Chen knew very well that this should be a test for him from the Tianmeng Battle Hall, and he could only stay if he defeated the opponent.

Thinking of this, the sword in Ye Chen's hand instantly flew out, and then he rushed directly towards the white light.

After all, Ye Chen was an unparalleled genius who had comprehended the meaning of sword. A light and shadow that was only in the late stage of Condensation Realm was naturally no match for him, so he quickly chopped off its head with a sword, and it turned into white light and returned to the crystal ball above.

……

At the same time, other geniuses were all undergoing similar tests.

After all, those who could enter the Tianmeng Battle Hall were all elite disciples from major sects, so at the end of the first round of tests, only five geniuses performed poorly, and were then quickly teleported to the outside world.

As for the second round of tests, it was much more difficult. Even though these geniuses were all very strong, thirty-five people were still eliminated.

After the second round of tests, the third round of tests also started at the same time.

This time, the strength of the white light and shadow increased again, so more geniuses were eliminated, reaching an astonishing number of more than two hundred and forty people.

Of course, although all these people were eliminated by the Tianmeng Battle Hall, they also gained a lot of benefits from the previous tests.

As for the geniuses who can pass the third round of tests and continue to stay in the Tianmeng Battle Hall, there are only more than 30 of them left.

In this way, the test continued, and more and more geniuses were eliminated.

All the geniuses who were able to continue to pass the tests also gained a lot of benefits in the process of the tests. Even many geniuses in the Condensation Realm broke through to the Baoyuan Realm.

Ye Chen from Liuyun Sect didn’t care whether others had made a breakthrough or not. At this moment, he just relied on his powerful sword intent to continuously defeat the white light and shadow opponents.

And every time he fought with the white light and shadow, Ye Chen would always feel a strange vibration force transmitted to his body, which also contained extremely pure vitality, constantly helping him to improve his cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Chen had passed the fifth round of tests.

The white light and shadow in the sixth round of tests already possessed the strength of the middle stage of Baoyuan Realm, and was considered one of the best among those in the middle stage of Baoyuan Realm.

Although Ye Chen possessed the sword intent, his cultivation at this time was only at the peak of the Condensation Realm. It was indeed extremely difficult for him to deal with such a terrifying opponent.

But no matter how strong the opponent was, Ye Chen had no intention of giving up. Instead, he continued to fight with his opponent with his increasingly proficient sword skills.

In this way, Ye Chen and his opponent continued to fight.

Finally, after fighting for a full thousand moves, Ye Chen finally cut off his opponent's head with one sword.

But now he was completely exhausted, and he was seeing stars and feeling dizzy.

But at this moment, a wonderful shock force began to surge into his body. Under this shock force, he only felt his muscles and bones itching, and then the flow of true energy in his body suddenly accelerated, directly reaching several times the usual level.

In addition, because of the boiling blood, Ye Chen's face began to turn red.

Immediately afterwards, the Qi vortex in Ye Chen's Dantian began to shrink continuously, and finally formed a perfect Qi vortex.

And at this moment, it also means that Ye Chen has officially broken through to the Baoyuan realm.

But at this moment, a strange voice sounded in Ye Chen's mind.

"Ding! Welcome to join the chat group!"

Lu Qingshan ignored Pangbo's words, but carefully thought about the identities of the two newcomers.

It’s just that the nicknames of these two newcomers were too ordinary, and he had no idea at all at this moment.
