Chapter 872 Advanced Divine Dwelling Stage (1/2)

As participants in the battle, the four pavilion masters, Lu Xiao, Zhou Yuan, Han Yuan and Mu Liu, were also burning with excitement.

Gambling shops were even opening up to bet on which pavilion master would win the title of chief pavilion master. They were extremely popular.

Unsurprisingly, Lu Xiao was the most popular candidate. After all, no matter what, Lu Xiao was deservedly called the strongest person of the young generation in the Tianyuan Region. Even if there was something fishy regarding his ninth ranking on the Divine Dwelling List, his strength was recognised by many.

In addition to Lu Xiao, Han Yuan and Mu Liu—who were always second to Lu Xiao in the Tianyuan region—also had a chance of winning the position of chief pavilion master.

As for Zhou Yuan, he was in last place. Although the Wind Pavilion had soared under Zhou Yuan’s leadership in the past few months and had even beaten the Fire Pavilion in the Heaven Flame Ritual, everybody knew that there were some tricks regarding the four mother runes and the Heaven Flame Ritual.

The chief pavilion master battle, however, was a true competition of one’s own strength.

Any trickery wouldn’t be effective. So, Zhou Yuan, who only possessed strength of the intermediate Divine Dwelling stage, didn’t give other people much confidence. It was understandable that not many people thought highly of him.

And while the entire Tianyuan Utopia was closely paying attention to the chief pavilion master battle, the gamble between Yi Qiushui and Zuo Ya also became known and sparked many discussions. After all, 10,000 origin coins wasn’t a small amount.

Many people secretly pitied Yi Qiushui when they heard about the gamble between the two women. It was clearly a set-up by Zuo Ya; how could Yi Qiushui be fooled? Even if she was wealthy, she shouldn’t ruin her family like that right?

But no matter what, the gamble had been decided and brought the excitement of the chief pavilion master battle to a new height.

Thus, while being discussed by millions of people, the chief pavilion master battle was only one day away.

Wind Island, a closed-off room.

Inside the cauldron were blazing Heavenly Sun Flames and a terrifying heat gathering.

A figure was quietly sitting cross-legged in the middle of the raging flames. His skin was sparkling and translucent like jade, and in the depths of the emitted jade light seemed to be something silvery.

It was Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan’s eyes were tightly closed, and his breathing was like a dragon, inhaling and exhaling golden flames.

The Heavenly Sun Flames in the cauldron were gradually depleting, and when the last flame was swallowed by Zhou Yuan, the cauldron dimmed.

Zhou Yuan was still sitting cross-legged quietly, like a rock, with no response.

This silence lasted for three hours.

At one point, Zhou Yuan’s body quivered, and from his body, there seemed to be a subtle cracking.

The noise sounded pleasant, and when it passed through his body, it seemed that even his flow of blood became much smoother, like the sound of heaven.

It was the sound of walls breaking!

The seventh Divine Dwelling was finally connected!

Zhou Yuan’s closed eyes suddenly sprang open, and golden light burst out like a real substance. Then, a gush of Genesis qi erupted from his body like a volcano.

Roar!

The azure-golden Genesis Qi shrouded Zhou Yuan’s figure and vaguely seemed to transform into a giant spiraling serpent.
