Chapter 3: The Deceiver and the Hall of Discipline

Why would I deceive you

I come to take the vows

Only Chen Xi knows that he has no background whatsoever

It is heard that the Zhao family has recently been working closely with King Anyang... while the Xiaoman Tianzong has always been aligned with the National Master.

A sword pierced from behind him.

Zhao Wu abruptly said, "I know you are hiding many things. The reason I haven't spoken out is that I want to see what you are really up to. Not only can you cultivate, but your cultivation level is also quite impressive, isn't it? With your qualifications, even if you were to enter any sect openly, you would be valued. Yet, you insist on coming here to be a servant... Chen Xi, you cannot deceive me."

Chen Xi lowered his head to look at the words written on the paper, which conveyed the general idea of voluntarily entering the Discipline Hall to receive punishment, with phrases like life and death being determined by fate, and that the Xiaoman Tianzong bears no responsibility. He lifted the brush, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his fingertip. It was as if the brush had pricked his fingertip with a sharp thorn, and then a drop of blood quickly appeared at the tip of the brush, red and striking.

He looked at Chen Xi and said coldly: "However, entering the Tower of Transformation is not so easy. Those selected must undergo a second round of competition within the tower. The ten strongest individuals will be allowed to enter the second level of the tower for training... Do not obstruct my path; if you do, the Zhao family will kill you"

Do not think that you will gain anything

Zhao Wu's footsteps suddenly halted: "Do not force me."

The sects of the world often have their dependencies

No one believes that this boy, who will only turn fifteen in a month, has actually spent ten years planning his revenge. This is because he possesses a powerful and mature soul. He cannot allow himself to ruin a decade of effort for the sake of these twenty days, and he absolutely will not permit it

Chen Xi sat on the hard bed, taking out a handkerchief to wipe away the blood that had been coughed up moments ago.

If this step is successful, then m.hetushu.com will be easier to handle next.

In the blink of an eye

He entered the cold pool of clear water, not to suppress the internal injury caused by the fiery energy within him. Instead, it was to conceal...! ... What he was cultivating was precisely the power of fiery energy.! To deceive Zhou Jiuzhi, he had to do this. First, he injured himself using his own fiery energy cultivation, and then every day he entered the cold pool of clear water to suppress his fiery energy. In reality, this would not heal his injuries; it would only exacerbate them.

Go

There are only twenty days left until the annual examination, which is already quite urgent for him

There is, only a heart of vengeance

Zhao Wu sneered: "I do not care what your reasons are, but let me be clear with you... Each class has no limit on the number of candidates entering the internal examination. If a class has thirty-six geniuses, they will naturally shine brightly. However, the number of places available to enter the Fate Alteration Tower after the internal examination is limited; I suppose you are not aware of this. The so-called internal examination actually consists of two levels. The first level is a competition among the various academies, and the winning academy can enter the Fate Alteration Tower first. The class with the best results can practice in the Fate Alteration Tower for three months. The second-best class can practice for two months, while the others can only practice for one month.

The Xiaoman Tianzong relies on the National Master, who is said to have a relationship with the Holy Emperor that is both teacher and friend, exerting a significant influence on the Holy Emperor's decisions. The National Master possesses an object that is kept in the Xiaoman Tianzong. This object, known only by name as the Shenteng, is recognized only by those who have reached a certain height.

Everything is for revenge

The hall of precepts was completely empty

Some say that Shen Teng is a person who resides in the Xiaomantian Sect for cultivation, and when this person emerges, he will surely determine the fate of the world

It is precisely for this reason that he is more eager than others to know what Shenteng is. He still remembers that ten years ago, when his loyal servant, Old Ninth Master, took him out of mhetushucomcom, he told him that in order to seek revenge, one must have Shenteng.

Chen Xi smiled and said: "The Holy Emperor of Da Chu is gravely ill, and the Prince of Anyang is one of the heirs. Meanwhile, the National Master is aligned with the Prince of Pingjiang... Don't say that you have no mission in entering the Tower of Fate. The Tower of Fate nurtures divine beings for the royal family; if we could gain the assistance of these divine beings, the throne would seem within reach... We both have some unspeakable matters between us, so it is best that neither of us provokes the other. Otherwise... what if you cannot defeat me?"

Some say that the Shen Teng is a treasure, capable of knowing the affairs of the world, accurate for a thousand years before and a thousand years after

He does indeed have an injury, but it is not as speculated by Zhou Jiuzhi.

Chen Xi deliberately said those few words to Zhao Wu, creating the illusion that Zhao Wu also had powerful forces backing him.

He sat there in silence for a while, then got up to wash his face, calculated the time, and walked out in the direction of the Discipline Hall

Chen Xi nodded

After three hundred days, it turned out to be much longer than he had anticipated. He knew that after passing by Zhou Jiu more than once, Zhou Jiu would eventually notice his uniqueness. Once he might not perceive it, but after ten times, fifty times, he would surely realize that this shabby youth was, in fact, an extraordinary genius

the largest one

Chen Xi was astonished, yet did not show any signs of it, and signed his name on the document with a brush pen

Chen Xi intends to enter the Tower of Transformation, seeking the power of the divine ascent. If he wishes to take revenge, he must acquire the strength of the divine ascent. His enemy possesses formidable cultivation, and with his current progress, it is likely that even after a hundred years, he may not be able to defeat the opponent. Moreover, to his knowledge, his parents in the Nine Nether Underworld cannot hold on for much longer.

Enter the Hall of Precepts and first sign the life-and-death document

Chen Xi cautiously took a few steps forward, suddenly feeling a shock in his heart

Zhao Wu's expression changed slightly, and he snorted: "Take care of yourself!"

Returning to his dilapidated cabin, Chen Xi suppressed the urge to laugh out loud. A slight curve graced the corners of his mouth, so charming. This smile was not the kind cultivated through practice, but rather a genuine expression of joy.

Chen Xi silently said to himself: "Wait for me, wait for me to rescue you from the Nine Nether Dungeon. Wait for me to take back everything they have taken from you, and then return the injuries inflicted upon us by our enemies a hundredfold. The child is about to succeed; as long as I enter the Fortune Alter, there will be a chance to enter the inner courtyard. The people of the world only know of the Minor Mantiangong, yet they are unaware that there is also a Major Mantiangong... The child is about to succeed; as long as I enter the Fortune Alter, there will be a chance to enter the inner courtyard. The people of the world only know of the Minor Mantiangong, yet they are unaware that there is also a Major Mantiangong... The enemies are right there; the child will definitely get in."

... ...

The first step has finally succeeded

Chen Xi suddenly asked: "A treasure that can give a warning will alert you as long as someone with a cultivation level stronger than yours appears?"

Zhao Wu's expression was cold and grim as he turned and strode away

He said

In front of us is the Hall of Precepts

Chen Xi did not hesitate and strode in.

Father, Mother

Chen Xi asked

Because this was not told to Zhou Jiuzhi by him, but rather deduced by Zhou Jiuzhi himself, it is therefore more credible

The voice once again appeared cold and icy: "The first door on the left is the Ice Chamber. You were originally to endure forty-nine types of penalties, but the dean personally amended the punishment. You only need to endure twelve hours in the Ice Chamber, and that will count as your atonement"

The fortune-changing tower has nine levels, and the divine ascent is at the ninth level

Some say that Shenteng is merely a facade, a deliberate distraction orchestrated by the national master to draw others' attention here. It is important to note that the Xiaoman Tianzong is merely a mid-tier sect and does not yet possess the qualifications to engage in such a contest of power.

Zhao Wu

He led Zhou Jiu to believe that his enemy was in Qiyang Valley, but it was precisely in Qiyang Valley that he began his studies and training.

The greatest enmity, hetushu.com, is nothing but the destruction of a family

In the sixteenth year of the reign of the Great Chu, the Holy Emperor witnessed a great star fall from the heavens. With a single hand, he transformed it over thousands of miles, lifting the great star and placing it in the East Sea. It is unknown how many lives he saved, as he averted a catastrophe without a trace. However, ever since that moment, the Holy Emperor's health has deteriorated progressively. In just fifteen years, this supreme expert of the Tianfu Continent has reached the point of exhaustion and depletion.

Zhao Wu turned around, his lips twitching: "Sometimes, when words are spoken too decisively, it leads to a dead end"

Your name is Chen Xi, and you are willing to accept punishment on behalf of Ding Mei, the instructor of Class A at the Qingwu Academy

There is ''

Do you harbor hatred in your heart

Thus, individuals like Zhao Wu, who are of lesser significance, have instead found their utility

However, it is well known that Shenteng is located at the Fortune Changing Tower

What treasures do you possess?

He knew that Zhao Wu intended to enter the Transformation Tower, precisely to inquire about the matter of the Divine Ascension. It is somewhat strange to mention that among so many great cultivators, none would dare to touch the Divine Ascension first, as it is something that affects the entire situation. If a great cultivator from one side were to take action, the other forces would undoubtedly not stand by idly. This is a delicate balance that no one dares to break first

When the sound rang out again, a section of the ground suddenly rose up in front of Chen Xi, revealing a piece of paper covered in numerous characters, with a brush hanging beside it, yet there was no inkstone or ink to be found.

It has been ten years; he has worked hard and endured for this goal for a decade

Chen Xi furrowed his brows slightly and looked around. The Hall of Discipline was built halfway up the mountain, essentially a massive cave. This cave was interconnected, containing forty-nine stone chambers. Each stone chamber represented a different form of punishment. Chen Xi raised his head and noticed a large, smooth, jade-like circular disc at the top of the cave, measuring nearly two meters in diameter. He looked up and could see his own reflection in the disc.

Without reason

The sound seemed to come from nowhere, carrying a coldness akin to that of books, devoid of any human warmth

The princes, of course, will not remain obedient, and there are countless covert maneuvers behind the scenes that go unnoticed.

If he persists for another sixty days and Zhou Jiu still shows no signs, then Chen Xi will have no choice but to leave. By that time, the power of the cold pool and the injuries from the fiery energy will completely overwhelm his body, and no one will be able to save him

Chen Xi smiled and nodded: "The road is wide, as wide as ten people. Whether I stop you or not is not important; what matters is that you have the ability yourself. The reason you come to remind me instead of directly eliminating me is that you are worried about whether there is some formidable force behind me. Since you do not dare to act rashly, then why do you need to come?"

When he stepped out of the cabin, there was a person waiting at the door

Which one

The cave is exceptionally dark, and one cannot see their hand in front of their face.

is

Chen Xi nodded and strode towards the first stone cave on the left

... ...

Chen Xi recalled the conversation he had with Zhou Jiuzi

He has not adjusted his breathing or practiced for three hundred days, and his injuries continue to worsen. Yet he still cannot adjust his breathing or practice, because he is only one step away from success.

Chen Xi couldn't help but laugh: "It was the Zhao family that killed me, not you"

The student who has always ranked third in Class A now has a somewhat grim expression on his face. Chen Xi is familiar with this person; although the Zhao family from Qingzhou cannot be considered a top-tier cultivation family, they are only second to the Shi family. The reason he ranks third may be that he has long known that Zhan Qing is one of the core disciples designated by the Qingwu Academy, and he is also aware that the Shi family is not someone to offend.

Chen Xi speculated that among the students from the six external academies participating in the internal examination, many had been placed there by various factions. The reason Zhao Wu did not dare to act rashly against him was due to concerns about whether there were any forces backing him. Among the nine sons of the Holy Emperor, which one does not have some formidable means hidden behind them
