Three days later, Tang Chen and the others finally returned to the Mountain and River Sect.

Tang Chen didn't delay for a moment, he went to the top of Yangui Mountain, went to the Mountain and River Hall to report to the sect master, and reported in detail some important things that happened in Hanyang City.

To Tang Chen's surprise, the sect master did not let the other elders avoid it, which showed that the trust between the nine major families of the Shanhe Sect was so strong that it was unbreakable.

"You met a high-level star king on your way back?"

After Tang Chen's report was completed, Sect Master Tu Xinghai asked with some surprise, strictly speaking, there are no high-level star kings in the wasteland, and those who have cultivated to reach the middle-level star king will all choose to leave the wasteland and go to places such as the Shiyu to find an opportunity to become holy.

Although "One Ping and Two Emperors" is the law of the Star God Continent, the greatest achievement of the two star souls is destined to reach the realm of the Star Emperor, but no one will be willing to be a Star Emperor, they will do their best to break through to the Star Emperor, or even the Star Saint, here is not only the attraction from the improvement of strength, but also the desire for life.

Because, every time you improve a small realm, such as breaking through from a first-order star king to a second-order star king, you can extend your lifespan by ten years. And the extension of lifespan means that there is more time to cultivate and break through, and the two complement each other.

However, in different regions, the cultivation effect is completely different.

For example, the wasteland, which is located in the remote part of the Star God Continent, has extremely thin star power, and when the star person's strength is weak, there is nothing wrong with cultivating here, but once the star person's strength reaches the middle-level star king, the star power here can no longer meet their cultivation needs, and they must go to a place with more star power.

This is also the reason why the mid-level star kings will leave the wasteland.

Hearing that the sect master specifically asked about the high-level star king, Tang Chen described the appearance and clothing of the high-level star general, and after Tu Xinghai heard it, he didn't seem too surprised, nor did he hide it, and directly told Tang Chen that that person was the hall master of the Mountain and River Auction Palace.

"He is the hall master of the Mountain and River Auction Palace?" Tang Chen couldn't help but blurt out, "The middle-level star kings have all left the wasteland, how can he, a high-level star king, still stay here?"

Tu Xinghai shook his head with a wry smile and said, "The auction hall is a force from the outside world, in order to control the situation, they naturally have to send powerful people to come to the town, and besides, the hall master who came here does not have to worry about cultivation, because he has the cultivation resources given by the upper hair." ”

This question is not difficult to understand, Tang Chen understood it as soon as he heard it, and at the same time, he also realized that in the Wasteland, the strongest person is not really just a third-order star king, because you don't know where there is a stronger person from the outer region hidden.

He was silent for a while, and then asked, "Sect Master, what should we do if the secret of the secret realm spreads outside the wasteland?"

Tu Xinghai raised his eyes and looked at Tang Chen, and sighed: "This problem is still a bit far, what we have to deal with right now is the Great Comparison of the Wasteland Sect." The Xuanyi Sect has already co-opted the four major sects, including the Northern Desolation Sect, and is ready to join forces against us in the Great Competition.

If we don't have the art of defying the sky, I'm afraid we will be defeated and become the existence at the bottom, and according to the rules of Dabi, the sect at the bottom will lose its subordinate cities, which is the loss of fifteen subordinate cities for my Shanhe Sect. ”

Hearing this, Tang Chen's eyes couldn't help but flicker, and he secretly scolded Xuanyimen for deceiving people too much, and asked quietly on his face: "Sect Dabi, what kind of rules are they?

Tu Xinghai then ordered Great Elder Xu Linxian to explain to Tang Chen.

It turned out that this wasteland sect was divided into four regions: east, west, south, and north, and only the top ten sects in these four regions were eligible to participate.

The location of Dabi is in a secret realm called the Wasteland Treasure Realm, and each sect can send up to a hundred disciples under the age of thirty-five to participate, and there is no limit to the strength of the participating disciples.

After these disciples enter the secret realm, they need to find a treasure called Wild Crystal, and finally determine the competition ranking of each sect based on the number of Wild Crystals collected. In addition, the number of desolate crystals will be used to distribute the subordinate cities of each sect.

It should be noted that there is no restriction on fighting in the secret realm, even if it hurts people's lives, no one will pursue it, in order to get more desolate crystals, it is common for disciples of various sects to rob each other, and it is not uncommon for people to kill people because of this.

After listening to the Great Elder's explanation, Tang Chen finally understood why the Sect Master and the elders looked so worried, a hundred disciples versus five hundred disciples, no matter how you look at it, it will be a miserable loss, and there will even be many disciples who will die in the Great Competition, this is indeed a very headache.

Tang Chen pondered for a moment and comforted everyone: "Sect Master, as well as the elders, please rest assured, this matter will be left to me, I have a way to raise the overall strength of the participating disciples to a very terrifying level in the shortest possible time, which is enough to deal with the provocations of those five sects." ”

Tu Xinghai's eyes couldn't help but light up, and asked, "Really?"

Tang Chen nodded, and replied very solemnly: "There is no lie!"

Tu Xinghai applauded loudly and said, "Then this matter will be handed over to you! Don't forget, this is a major matter related to the inheritance of my sect's 10,000-year foundation, and we must not take it lightly!"

Tang Chen immediately clasped his fists and saluted, and replied: "Tang Chen must go all out!"

Tu Xinghai nodded with satisfaction, turned to Xu Linxian again, and ordered, "Great Elder, the time for the core disciple assessment is set in seven days." After the contestants were selected, all of them were arranged for Tang Chen to train. ”

......

On the same day, the news that the core disciple assessment was about to be held spread throughout the entire Shanhe Sect.

In this regard, all the people who do not know the truth are very surprised, how can the core assessment start after only two or three months of this internal examination? Isn't the core assessment usually held before the end of the year?

However, the surprise is surprised, but it does not affect everyone's enthusiasm for the core assessment at all, and the old disciples are speculating and discussing, how many people can pass the assessment and become core disciples this time?

The highest voice is naturally Tang Chen, in addition to those outstanding figures who are at the top of the list of mountains and rivers, such as Chen Jun, Sima Bo, He Junwan and so on.

Tang Chen was in no mood to pay attention to this, after settling Su Yuyao well, he entered a crazy cultivation again, since he went to Hanyang City to carry out the mission, he had never cultivated well, and at this time, he could seize the opportunity to make up for it quickly.

After learning the news of the core assessment, Chen Jun and the others also started a retreat, hoping to improve their strength a little more before the assessment, so that it would be easier during the core assessment.

As those in the knowledge of the core assessment, they knew that it was extremely difficult, and among the hundred inner disciples, only one could succeed, so they couldn't face it as easily as Tang Chen.
