Chapter 124: with translation of chapter title

Junior brother, how has your sword practice been lately?

I've seen you often running to Qingjian Feng lately.

The core area within Qingyun Sect.

The Sect Master's personally transmitted disciples, Shi Hao and two others, were walking along chatting and laughing.

Hearing the senior brother's words, Lin Bai's handsome face showed a modest expression as he said: "That's definitely not as good as senior brother's fist technique."

But after so many days of guidance from Senior Wuji, my swordsmanship has improved greatly.

Yesterday I trained in the Spacetime Tower for a whole day, which equals a hundred days of time, and my swordsmanship has progressed from great accomplishment to the peak; I only need to immerse myself a bit longer to break through.

As he spoke, the Qinglian Sword on Lin Bai's back gave a faint sound, as if cheering for him.

Shi Hao, upon hearing that, gave Lin Bai a thumbs-up.

Keep it up; in a year's time will be the Five Regions disciples' grand competition. As personally transmitted disciples, we cannot bring shame to our master and sect.

Junior sister has been diligently training in the Spacetime Tower lately.

Sigh, speaking of training in the Spacetime Tower, it's timeless—day after day.

Training for such a long time inevitably becomes boring.

Shi Hao finished speaking with a furrowed brow.

Immediately after, he thought of something and his brows relaxed at once.

Junior brother, why don't we try challenging the Trial Tower?

It's a good chance to test the results of our recent hard training.

Speaking of which, since the Trial Tower appeared, they have never yet cleared it.

Before, they were busy with hard training and had no time; then they went out for experience, and have only just returned.

Lin Bai, upon hearing that, also nodded in agreement.

I wonder how many layers the inner and outer sect junior brothers have cleared.

Haha, perfect—let us two brothers go and show off our fist and foot techniques.

Lin Bai laughed loudly with great anticipation.

Just then.

A series of heavy footsteps sounded.

Shi Hao and Lin Bai, hearing the noise, looked toward it.

They saw a woman in green robes with a cold, beautiful visage approaching—the master of Mingyue Peak—followed by dozens of people.

It's Senior Mingyue Empress; she has also returned.

Last night's battle, in which they crushed the demon emperor and shocked the Five Regions, was truly fierce.

Especially the ancestor's words: "Whoever offends my Qingyun Sect will meet the same fate as the demon emperor crushed with a casual swipe."

It left them so fired up that they couldn't sleep all night.

Huh, but the sect's reopening is only tomorrow.

Why are there so many people today?

Lin Bai glanced at the dozens of unfamiliar people behind them and said doubtfully.

I don't know; perhaps they are recruits the sect has brought in from outside.

But, junior brother, look—those people each have a pair of horns on their heads.

Two horns... could they be true dragons that have taken human form?

While the two were speaking,

the Mingyue Empress and her entourage also walked up to them.

Senior Mingyue.

Upon hearing that, the Mingyue Empress's cold, beautiful face remained expressionless; she merely nodded in acknowledgment.

She also recognized these two.

They are both personally transmitted disciples of the Sect Master.

After giving the nod, she said nothing more and continued forward.

Behind her, Long Qing and the three great clan elders exchanged a glance with Shi Hao and Lin Bai before moving on.

They felt countless emotions in their hearts.

Since entering Qingyun Sect, they have been repeatedly shocked!

The spiritual energy here is dozens of times denser than that of their Dragon Palace; everywhere is immortal aura and Dao rhyme, with powerful sensations continuously emerging.

Upon seeing the sect's disciples again, they could only say it truly lives up to being an imperial sect—countless experts, and the heavenly talents within are all extraordinary.

These two have extraordinary auras—one's fighting spirit soars to the heavens, the other is suffused with piercing sword intent; at a glance they are no ordinary individuals.

Even if placed among the Five Regions, they would likely be peerless heavenly talents.

After exchanging glances, the dragon clan members continued forward.

Shi Hao and Lin Bai also withdrew their gazes.

That woman in green plain clothes is not simple.

Shi Hao speculated.

Those three elders just now were inscrutable, their aura not evident.

But that woman's cultivation is actually at the early stage of the Spirit Transformation realm.

He has been constantly going to the Spacetime Tower to train since the last ranking was set, and now he is only at the mid-stage of Spirit Transformation.

If I'm not mistaken, that woman should be the dragon clan's strongest heavenly talent.

I just don't know her age.

Forget it, let's go challenge the trial tower first.

The secret passage ends.

Shi Hao and Lin Bai then headed toward the trial tower in the outer disciples area.

Along the way they also ran into quite a few outer disciples.

"Senior Brother Shi Hao."

"Senior Brother Lin Bai."

The disciples they encountered all greeted them with salutations.

The two of them wore smiles, continually nodding in acknowledgment.

They never acted like senior inner-disciples.

Soon they reached the base of the towering trial tower that pierces the clouds.

Outside the trial tower there was also a golden, shining list constantly emanating Daoic rhyme.

"Trial Ranking List: first, Qin Han, sixty-six floors."

"Trial Ranking List: second, Ning Yan, sixty floors."

"Trial Ranking List: third, Qing Yan, fifty floors."

"As expected, the top three are the three strongest inner-disciples."

Upon seeing the top three on the list, Lin Bai said.

"Come on, let's see how many floors we can clear in one go."

After Shi Hao finished speaking, he waved his arms back and forth, warming up his body.

Outer disciples in the distance all walked over here.

"Senior Brothers Shi Hao and Lin Bai, are you going to challenge the trial tower?"

"I don't know how many floors they can break; on their first try, forty floors should be about right."

A disciple nearby interjected, "Your vision is small; I'll say fifty floors."

Another disciple shouted, "You haven't broadened your vision; according to me you must reach at least sixty-six floors, surpassing Senior Brothers Qin Han and Ning Yan."

Shi Hao and Lin Bai stepped into the trial tower amid everyone's expectant gazes.

Meanwhile.

Ming Yue saw that she was about to reach Qingyun Dian, and since this place led straight to the back mountains of Qingyun, she stopped, sent a mental message to the inner-discipline elder.

Moments later, after receiving the message, the nearest inner-discipline elder, Luo Chen, rushed over, approached respectfully and said: "Peak Lord."

"Hmm."

"Just follow what the Emperor ordered via voice transmission."

Ming Yue Empress finished speaking, turned and looked at the dragon clan crowd.

"Sect Master ordered: you dragon folk shall reside peacefully in the back mountains of my Qingyun; other arrangements will be notified to you."

"You three clan elders, follow the Emperor to meet the Sect Master."

"The rest of you, follow this elder."

Hearing this, the dragon clan showed varied expressions.

Some were uneasy.

"Because they had just seen the ferocious beast Black Emperor outside the sect, they feared it was raising their true dragons, and might one day bring down the slaughter knife."

However, most adopted the attitude of "since we're here, we'll make the best of it."

"Rebel? How could we rebel?"

"Before such a mighty sect, even if the Dragon Emperor came, there would be nothing we could do!"

Just as they were about to follow and leave, the dragon clan princess Long Qing stepped forward.

Originally hesitant, her expression now became resolute.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, Long Qing requests an audience with the Emperor."

"Long Qing also wishes to become a disciple of Qingyun."

"The Ancestral Dragon's treasure lies in a secret realm, namely the Ancestral Dragon Secret Realm; Long Qing is willing to personally go retrieve it and offer it to the sect."

"Long Qing spoke with clasped hands, resolute, her unadorned face full of longing."

"By becoming a disciple of such a sect, her cultivation and strength will surely increase greatly; moreover, there are many heaven‑chosen talents here, and she also wishes to contend with them within the sect."

"This should be a wish of all cultivators, right?"

"With greatly increased strength, contending with the heaven‑chosen for heroism, her fame will shake the continent."

"Ming Yue Empress gave the dragon clan princess a cold glance."

"She will strive, understands gratitude, her talent is still decent; with a little cultivation she could become a heaven‑chosen renowned across the five regions."

"You also come with the Emperor; everything will be decided by me."

"Ming Yue Empress thought a moment and then said."

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor."

"Long Qing expressed gratitude."

"This opportunity she must seize."

"She had a feeling that if the dragon clan allied with Qingyun, they would not decline but might even rise again."

"Shortly after."

"Inside Qingyun Dian."

"Feng Qingyang sat in the chief seat, pondering how to use the Myriad Emperor Diagram to exert its maximum effect."

"The supreme experts within the sect have already attained their own Dao."

Then we will give the Great Dao from the catalogue to the Saint King Realm cultivators within the sect; this way they will improve rapidly, and there will be no need to comprehend the Great Dao.

We can also cast a wide net toward the Saint King Realm cultivators from the external continent.

Anyway, having bestowed upon them the Great Dao, I will be their god, and they will be eternally loyal.

Just do it that way!

After figuring it out, Feng Qingyang was eager to try, and the Great Emperors would begin mass production.

At that time, a wave of the hand, countless Great Emperors will sweep across the continent.

Then our Qingyun Sect will be invincible!

Just then.

Mingyue Empress led the four Dragon Clan members, after reporting, into the main hall.

In the magnificent and imposing Qingyun Dian.

Even before entering, a powerful sense of oppression came straight at them.

Within the hall, the Dao's rhythm flowed.

"Sect Master, the Demon Emperor has been destroyed."

"These four are members of the Dragon Clan."

"Among them, three elders are the Dragon Clan's elders, and this woman is the Dragon Clan's princess."

Mingyue Empress finished speaking briefly, then said no more.

As for the rest, just follow the Sect Master's wishes.

"Three Yinglong, one Qinglong."

"The Dragon Emperor's daughter?"
