Chapter 915 Great Rivals (2/2)

Fortunately, Zhou Yuan hadn’t reached his full potential in the Divine Dwelling stage. Once he opened up the final two Divine Dwellings, his strength would undoubtedly skyrocket, and the gap between him and the others would be pulled infinitely close.

While Zhou Yuan was studying the names on the Divine Dwelling list, the void in front of him rippled, and a formidable figure emerged.

“Senior sister Chi Jing.” Zhou Yuan stood up with a smile.

“You're so relaxed. You’re now a celebrity in the Tianyuan Region,” Chi Jing said.

Zhou Yuan pursed his lips. “What celebrity? If I don’t perform well in the nine regions tournament and we still rank at the bottom, I will instantly fall from the clouds and be condemned by everyone.”

The higher you climbed, the more painful it would be when you fell.

Chi Jing smiled. “You’ve read the situation thoroughly, and you don't seem too arrogant.”

She glanced at the Divine Dwelling List in Zhou Yuan’s hand and fiddled with her short burgundy hair. She jokingly said, “What? Scared of your opponents? It’s not too late to regret it now.”

Zhou Yuan smiled. “Didn’t I come to the Hunyuan Heaven for this?”

It had been more than a year since he came to the Tianyuan Region. He hadn’t rested at all during this period of time and had been constantly working hard.

Tired? He must be tired. But Zhou Yuan had never thought of giving up. Whenever the thought of Yaoyao lying in that cold glass ice coffin came to his mind, the piercing pain in his heart covered up all the fatigue.

In the past, it had always been Yaoyao who protected him, but now it was time for him to do something for her.

Looking at Zhou Yuan's face, Chi Jing could feel the emotions in his eyes. She witnessed all of Zhou Yuan’s efforts, so she knew there was a story behind it but didn’t ask about it.

“Since the Tri-Mountain Alliance dared to provoke the Tianyuan Region, they must have someone powerful leading them.” Chi Jing’s beautiful jade-like face grew solemn.

The smile on Zhou Yuan’s face faded. To command a top force such as the Tri-Mountain Alliance to act as pawns, the person had to be incredibly powerful. But there were only a handful of people who had such an ability in the entire Hunyuan Heaven.

“Do you know who it is?” Zhou Yuan asked.

Chi Jing shook her head. “It's hard to guess. Their actions are nothing more than attempts to force our master to appear.”

Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes. If they wanted to force their master to show up, there was a high possibility that Yaoyao was involved since he knew that the biggest reason for master Cang Yuan to hide for many years was Yaoyao.

Yaoyao’s identity was too mysterious and involved a great deal. Even supreme existences in Hunyuan Heaven were plotting because of this.

“It seems that I must win first place in the nine regions tournament and get the Ancestral Dragon Lantern.”

His identity shouldn’t have been exposed yet; otherwise, those powerful beings would have done something to him already. After all, he was just a little Divine Dwelling expert. Therefore, he needed to win the nine regions tournament and the Ancestral Dragon Lantern before anybody realizes!

As long as the Ancestral Dragon Lantern was in his hands, his first mission of coming to Hunyuan Heaven would be considered successful. If there was any danger, he could ask Chi Jing to send him out of Hunyuan Heaven first.

Chi Jing nodded. “I am just worried that since their plan failed this time, their future attacks will be even more intense.”

“It's inevitable, so senior sister has to be prepared and be more careful in the future,” Zhou Yuan calmly said. In such a level of struggle, they wouldn’t give up easily.

The two looked at each other, their expressions solemn. They obviously felt a great deal of pressure. Even Chi Jing, an expert of the Law Domain, felt a little powerless in a game of this level, let alone Zhou Yuan, a little Divine Dwelling expert.

Fortunately, they both knew that as long as Cang Yuan was still around, the other party wouldn’t dare to do too much. Otherwise, they would need to pay an unbearable price.

Chi Jing let out a sigh and didn’t want to linger on this serious topic any longer. She suddenly asked, “How much do you know about the nine regions tournament?”

Zhou Yuan shook his head. “Isn’t it just a match among the heaven prides of the Divine Dwelling stage in the nine regions?”

Chi Jing rolled her eyes and said, “You mustn’t underestimate the nine regions tournament. It symbolizes the greatest opportunity of the Divine Dwelling stage. It can be described as a once in a lifetime opportunity for ambitious people like you.
