Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, the four of them had been fighting in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range for almost half a month.

In the past half a month, everyone has gained a lot, not only has their strength increased tremendously, but they have also found a lot of elixirs, and they are full of harvest, which makes everyone happy.

There were still three days left before the outer courtyard competition, and the four of them walked out of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, intending to go back to prepare for the coming outer gate competition.

At this time, Zhou Chen had already broken through to the sevenfold peak of the innate realm after taking the Blue Shadow Fruit, and he was only one line away from the eightfold, and the realm barrier had been loosened. And Zhang Erbao and Liu Dahai have broken through to the sixth level of the innate realm under the blue ghost fruit, and they can reach the seventh level of the innate realm after going back to retreat for a few days, and Zhou Lianyi has also broken through to the fifth level of the innate realm.

Zhou Chen didn't go back with them, he didn't want to expose his whereabouts too early, but took advantage of the cover of late night to quietly return to his courtyard. I didn't come back for a long time, and the house was covered with dust and cobwebs.

Returning to his familiar house, Zhou Chen had mixed feelings, he couldn't imagine that he would have the opportunity to return here, when he jumped off the poisonous fog canyon, he felt that he was going to die, remembering the bits and pieces that he had been here with Lin Yu, everything was a hypocritical performance, Zhou Chen clenched his hands, and hatred soared in his heart.

Zhou Chen sat cross-legged, thought about it in his heart, and decided to break through to the eighth level first.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chen sat cross-legged and began to run the Desolate Heaven Decision, and the black aura vortex behind him appeared again, like a black hole.

Sou!

The aura within a radius of 100 zhang around was drained all at once.

"Who?"

"Why did the aura disappear all of a sudden?"

"What's going on, such a big move?"

"Which bastard disturbs the cultivation of labor and capital, does he want to die?"

……

There were constant insults in the disciple's courtyard, mixed with the loud sound of some artifacts colliding against the wall, scolding as if they wanted to find out the initiator.

Zhou Chen smiled, but it was a pity that this outer disciple's courtyard was not assisted by the Spirit Gathering Array like the inner gate, and the surrounding spiritual energy was not enough for him to smoke.

If other disciples heard this, they would definitely line up to cut him down, and let him not live.

After a stick of incense,

Click!

The innate realm is eightfold.

Zhou Chen grinned, revealing a row of white teeth, and successfully advanced to the eighth level of the Innate Realm, so that the protection of his revenge plan was one more point.

……

Day 3.

The martial arts arena of the outer gate of the Tianyuan Sect is crowded with people today, and tens of thousands of disciples have gathered here, and the competition of the outer gate will be held here today, and the five giant rings in the center of the martial arts field have been prepared.

The top ten disciples in the outer gate competition will enter the inner gate to cultivate, which is very important for every outer door disciple, although there are tens of thousands of disciples, but there are not many disciples who can actually be qualified to participate, only about five hundred, because the outer court competition has a threshold, and it must be a congenital fivefold or higher cultivation to be eligible to participate, you must know that in this outer court, there are still many disciples who are only in the acquired realm.

The martial arts field was very lively, all the disciples were discussing, everyone had their own senior brothers and sisters who were optimistic about entering the top ten, and some even lined up a prediction list and opened a handicap.

1st place: Broken water

Second place: Sun Jiangtao

Third place: Zao Wou-Ki

Fourth place: Qin Rilong

Fifth place: Qian Wanli

Sixth place: Punishment is lawless

Seventh place: Lu Feiyu

Eighth place: Murong Xuelan

Ninth place: Zhu Heming

Tenth place: Lin Wuya

…

Half of these top ten are Zhou Chen's enemies, these people are all outstanding descendants of the five major families of Qingtian City, Qingyang City is just an inconspicuous small town, it is not that the monks who came out of Qingyang City are particularly talented, but these children of the five major families of Qingyang City have been in the outer gate for many years, and the truly talented senior brothers have already entered the inner gate, and they have also survived for many years to get rid of people.

These families have been suppressing the Zhou family everywhere in Qingyang City for so many years, encroaching on their industry, before Zhou Chen felt that it was a normal competition between families, but now he knows that there is another purpose, and the existence of these people will be a potential threat to the Zhou family in the future.

Zhou Chen saw Zhang Erbao among tens of thousands of disciples, he stood with Liu Dahai and Zhou Lianyi, Liu Dahai and Zhang Erbao will participate in the competition today, at this time, both of them have reached the seventh level of the innate realm, and Zhou Lianyi does not need to compete, because she is an enviable escort student.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The big bell on the martial arts field in the outer courtyard rang three times, and the five outer elders appeared in the field, looked around, and the noisy chatter in the square slowly quieted down.

"Silence! Today, the outer gate will hold a selection competition here. An elder stepped out, it was Elder Lu from the outer gate.

"The top ten disciples in the competition can enter the inner gate to cultivate, and the first place in this competition will be additionally exempted from contributing points to enter the Purgatory Tower for half a month of cultivation, and they can also go to the Library Pavilion to choose a Xuan-level martial art without contributing points."

The Purgatory Tower is an important cultivation treasure of the Tianyuan Sect, and the disciples of the inner courtyard can enter the cultivation on weekdays, but they need to consume contribution points, and it is very difficult to obtain the contribution points in the inner courtyard of the Tianyuan Sect, and they need to make great contributions to the sect or complete the assigned tasks.

Zhou Chen originally didn't have much interest in the first, and he was only thinking about how to kill those people from the five major families, but when he heard Elder Lu's words, he decided to get this first, and the Purgatory Tower was extremely attractive to him.
