Chapter 991: Five In a Row (1/1)
Hoould anyone fail to discern that Emperor Vastsea’s apparently plain question was filled with malice to the core? That was obvious to Eood If Pill King Zhen was anything short of re lord in the first place? TooChen suddenly failed because of either inattentiveness or happenstance, it was possible that the e too much of an early call Therefore, Eive a fixed conclusion He stuck to the facts, and nothing but the facts
Ehed “Daoist Peafowl, it see the eighth Veluriyaotten in five thousand years”
Ehter “You’re certainly a master of conclusions, Brother Vastsea There are many unpredictable factors in one’s ability to even advance to the eighth Obelisk Can you say for sure which one your young lord Ye Piaoling will be able to get to?”
Being upset at his fellow emperor would be only seen as petty Emperor Vastsea wanted to ensnare him, but Emperor Peafoas a sophisticated h to silence the detractor Could Eeniuses under his wing? What was the point of paying more attention to E been quiet all along, Emperor Petalpluck suddenly asked a question of his own “Daoist Peafowl, this rhythht for me Can you elaborate a little?”
Emperor Peafowl knew that his friend bore him no malice The other emperor truly wanted to knowpast Breaking through the fourth obelisk rewards its challenger with a month, the fifth three months, and so forth It’s perfectly understandable to use the extra ti the next obelisk upon sufficient preparation Why not ht? If one challenges the next obelisk i that isn’t the best use of tiathered by the act After all, a single failure means elimination, which forfeits all of the previously earned time rewards”
“You ing the next obelisk? So that one can make better use of one’s tioes about it in practice, I think that will depend on the situation I see no reason to hold off if one feels a great increase in one’s prowess after cultivation, or better yet, a spark of inspiration There’s nothing inherently wrong with taking the next challenge ahead of your own tienius, Emperor Peafowl had only passed the seventh Veluriyam Obelisk His own failure to pace hihth Given his talent and potential, he’d had the very real hope of doing so, but opportunity only knocked once A missed one was a per regrets Evidently, he didn’t want Jiang Chen to make the same mistake he had Anxiety in the pursuit of success was folly Why not use the time on his hands as much as possible? There would be plenty left to tackle the Veluriyam Obelisks
Moreover, the PaGoda had opened three secret real of Young Lords, Jiang Chen had no restrictions onbetween the secret realms He had both space and time on his side There was no reason not to es However, Eht away
Jiang Chen continued his challenge! After leaving the fourth obelisk, he’d i ahead of schedule E about rhyth for the next challenge Though the fifth obelisk wasn’t going to stop the youth, Emperor Peafoas concernedof successes wouldman overconfident and irrational If it did, the seventh obelisk was likely to act as an ienius who’d experienced the secret reale knew that the sixth and seventh obelisks were two ie thresholds It wasn’t easy to pass either of these The eniuses were stopped short by one of the two, in fact A genius that could break through to the eighth obelisk appeared only once every five thousand years As for one who le one for more than ten Veluriyam Capital’s written records for ti in recorded history indicated such an event
“Fellow daoist, your new young lord is a curious one indeed” Emperor Mountaincrush smiled He, for one, was impressed by Ee, but his eye for talent as well Who else aenius? The sole fact that he was equally capable of pill and h to put hi lord’s history of pill battles was proof enough that he could perforeniuses were born for grand occasions At least, that was how E lord Zhen The pill battle against Pillfire City had been one such occasion The conflict between Taiyuan Tower and Taiyuan Lodge had been another The Martial PaGoda battles, yet another Finally, entering the Veluriyam PaGoda to comprehend the nine Veluriyarand occasion
E lord Zhen was likely to achieve some unusually brilliant results in the Veluriyam PaGoda So lord’s overwhele over his competitors was hard to deny Emperor Mountaincrush’s speculation, for one, was heavily fueled by the performance
The fifth Veluriyam Obelisk was much her than its predecessors The Obelisk involved another ier to assimilate the essence of both parties’ h his own consciousness Fundamentally, it de it in action This was very difficult to accoed on both for a technique’s essence was a bewildering task Only someone with the dual powers of perception and co the techniquethrough observation alone
Because he was unfae clip were using, Jiang Chen only had a slight advantage Without his h, he could only rely on wealth of experience and superb cognitive ability to deduce its details Thankfully, even if both techniques were new to him, he was still a fair bit ahead of his peers The ht fro Chen immersed himself in the clip of combat Without the e to deduce a martial technique from its physical manifestation alone He didn’t have it nearly as easy as the previous few, but was in no rush The twenty-day period gave hih time to analyze and infer what he needed A few days later, several of the best geniuses at the fourth obelisk finished their tasks, joining him one by one at the fifth without hesitation Ten days later, Ji San broke through the fourth as well He followed suit, i to the fifth
Fifteen days later, the fourth obelisk’s tieniuses were cruelly eli through the fourth chose not to continue right away Wanting to slow the pace a while, they planned to resueniuses remained beneath the fifth Veluriyam Obelisk
On the day of the fourth obelisk’s deadline, Jiang Chen succeeded in understanding the fifth obelisk He had passed oncepast the fifth had cost hi difficulty was a warning: Jiang Chen did not intend to take the following challenges lightly
“If Brother Ji is able to break through here as well, then I have to tell hi off and cultivating here a while would be a much better use of his time” Ti Chen did not want Ji San to be kicked out purely because of foolhardiness Therefore, he tees after the fifth Veluriyam Obelisk He hadn’t lost confidence in himself He justed wanted to wait until Ji San finished before proceeding He wasn’t going to waste the ti to his private space, Jiang Chen began to cultivate once on crystals, and saint spirit stones, he was set to do so to his heart’s content The relative brevity since his last breakthrough to eighth level sage realm didn’t affect his passion one bit Inside the Veluriyale day of cultivation orth ten outside, perhaps even twenty or thirty Each ly precious
As expected, the fifth obelisk required an excruciating effort from Ji San Without exceptionalat a key moment, he likely would have been eliminated himself He passed by the skin of his teeth on the final day, barely co the fifth obelisk’s test Even so pressure If he’d taken just a little longer, he would have been disqualified for sure
“Brother Ji, now that you’ve passed both the fourth and fifth challenges, you have four extra months on your hands You should use amply the time you’ve been awarded”
Ji San nodded several tio further, but I ot It would be a huge loss if I’et a chance to cash in”
