Chapter 902: Chapter 440: The Seven Veins’ Heavenly Prides Gather, Setting off to the Heavenly End Secret Realm

The sky was clear, the sun bright, and the bustling, vibrant Green Flame Palace made Lu Yun feel extraordinarily comfortable and at home.

Back in the day, when he had first entered the Green Flame Palace, it was the soaring fighting spirit and the vigorous figures of many Senior Brothers that had inspired him.

Today, not only disciples from the Tai Yuan lineage had gathered, but also those from the Tong Tian, Zheng Yang, Yu Qing, and other total of six lineages.

The seven lineages of the Green Flame Palace were not a single bloom but a tapestry of blooming flowers, any one of which could rival a top force on its own.

It was precisely for this reason that the once every five hundred years event of the Heavenly End Secret Realm became the epitome of rivalry among the disciples of the seven lineages of the Green Flame Palace.

Even though for various reasons, the majority of the talented disciples of the Green Flame Palace were unable to participate in this grand event, it didn’t hinder the strength of the remaining disciples.

Among the Tai Yuan lineage alone, there were many formidable Heavenly Prides, such as Zhou Yichen, Du Xiaoyue, Dongfang Qing, and so on.

Dongfang Qing had not long become a core disciple and his strength was within the normal range, but Zhou Yichen had been a core disciple for a long time, and his strength had reached an unfathomable level.

The other six lineages also had Heavenly Prides on the same level as Zhou Yichen, who stood out among the many contemporaries like the moon surrounded by stars.

While individuals like Dongfang Qing and Sima Hongyu were quite extraordinary and subtly carried the air of the strong, they still appeared somewhat naive in front of those top-tier Heavenly Prides.

After all, they had only recently achieved the True Spirit Realm, and compared to a contemporary top-tier Heavenly Pride like Zhou Yichen, they lacked both foundation and strength.

However, with the Heavenly End Secret Realm being open for five years and filled with countless opportunities, so long as they encountered great fortunes, they could possibly overtake others.

After all, individuals like Zhou Yichen had already walked far in the True Spirit Realm and after entering the Heavenly End Secret Realm, although they would enjoy the greatest advantage, it meant they could no longer advance further.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Qing, Sima Hongyu, and others didn’t have such restrictions. Once they encountered opportunities and fortunes, their strength could undergo earth-shattering changes.

In the past openings of the Heavenly End Secret Realm, there had been many lesser-known Heavenly Prides who suddenly rose to prominence, overpowering many famous and powerful figures, triumphing in the final competition.

As time passed, the many Heavenly Prides preparing to participate in the grand event of the Heavenly End Secret Realm gradually arrived, and the spacious treasure ships became increasingly crowded and lively.

“The chance for the Heavenly Prides of the seven lineages to gather is rare indeed, and only with the opening of the Heavenly End Secret Realm, where the ancient strong make their rebirth, can we draw so many old friends together again,” Zhou Yichen remarked, wearing an embroidered long robe with blue edging and a blue jade belt, his noble aura was compelling, holding a silver-white folding fan, smiling.

Ran Qianshan had been training in other regions, and other powerful core disciples were tied up in battles with the True Word Temple and unable to leave, thus Tai Yuan lineage’s disciples heading to the Heavenly End Secret Realm were led by Zhou Yichen.

Of course, among the core disciples of the Tai Yuan lineage, there were those who were even stronger than Zhou Yichen, but due to age restrictions, they couldn’t participate in the struggle for the core inheritance of the Heavenly End Secret Realm.

These core disciples, having reached the limit of the True Spirit Realm, have yet to step into the Entering Saint Realm, hoping to accumulate more in order to compete for a position in the True Teachings, naturally ignoring this Heavenly End Secret Realm.

For them, if they couldn’t partake in the contest for that ultimate inheritance, the Heavenly End Secret Realm was just an ordinary Secret Realm.

“Zhou Yichen, I’m very curious how many of my strikes your Black Prison Flame Body can withstand,” a youth with sharp eyes and a face as handsome as a sculpture said with a faint smile within the Tong Tian lineage group.

Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces showed teasing smiles.

Ye Zhiying was one of the top ten core disciples of the Tong Tian lineage, unparalleled in his talent for swordsmanship, and it was said that his sword domain had already reached the late first layer.

To know, after one’s swordsmanship reached the realm of the sword domain, one had embarked on the path of the extreme way, where advancing even a single level was incredibly difficult.

Once a breakthrough was made, the increase in combat strength that followed was of a terrifying level.

Zhou Yichen was no weaker, not only had he cultivated the Black Prison Flame Body to an exceptionally high level, but he also mastered many powerful techniques, making his reputation within the Green Flame Palace not insignificant.

Everyone turned their gazes to Zhou Yichen, wanting to see how this famously powerful Black Prison Flame Body would respond.

Zhou Yichen appeared not to notice the attention, merely giving a slight smile, “Haha, there’ll be a chance to witness the might of the Black Prison Flame Body.”

The strength of Tong Tian lineage and Tai Yuan lineage was relatively close, and the competition between the disciples was extremely fierce. Zhou Yichen and Ye Zhiying were no exceptions; they had faced each other in countless hidden contests, each with their victories and defeats.

Zhou Yichen then continued, “Brother Ye, don’t focus your attention on just me, the strength of the brothers from the other five lineages isn’t weak either, they’re equally good candidates for your sword testing.”

At these words, the top talents from the other five lineages all underwent a slight change in expression and then, unable to help themselves, their faces picked up with a smug note, all feeling that a scrutinizing gaze had just swept over them.

No doubt, Zhou Yichen’s words had had an effect; they had also been included by Ye Zhiying as targets for his sword testing.

Observing the slight change in expression among those individuals, Zhou Yichen’s eyebrows rose subtly, and he thought to himself, “Shared joy is double joy, these fellows thinking to stand by and watch the show, it won’t be that simple.”

…

Along the way, Lu Yun felt the presence of countless powerful auras, some so strong that they set his heart trembling.

This again made him marvel at the depth of the Green Flame Palace’s heritage, and also heightened his anticipation of the dangers in the Heavenly End Secret Realm they were about to reach.
