Upon hearing this, the Sect Leader nodded gently.
They hadn’t misjudged him.
"Ling Chen, let me take a look at your longsword."
The Sect Leader said.
Ling Chen promptly presented the Mystic Sword.
The Sect Leader played with it for a while, also discovering that she couldn’t activate it.
"Senior Sister, can you tell what kind of weapon this is?"
The Sect Leader shook her head: "What’s special about this sword?"
Ling Chen said: "Firstly, this sword can only be activated by the Power of Fusion of Spiritual Power and Divine Soul Telekinesis. Secondly, it once devoured an Emperor Spirit Weapon. Lastly, it was once seized by the Howling Moon Sky Wolf clan."
"Devoured an Emperor Spirit Weapon?"
The Sect Leader’s expression tensed.
As far as she knew, only Demigod Weapons and Divine Weapons could do that.
"It seems this sword’s origin is extraordinary indeed!"
The Sect Leader said: "The fact that the Howling Moon Sky Wolf clan tried to seize it is likely related to the legendary Divine Artifact, the Sun and Moon Divine Blade."
"Sun and Moon Divine Blade?"
Ling Chen furrowed his brow.
This was the second time he heard the term.
The Sun and Moon Divine Blade is a Divine Weapon that can only be activated by someone with the Sun and Moon Divine Body.
"However, I’ve never heard of there being two Sun and Moon Divine Blades. Someone in the Taixuan Immortal Sect with a physique like yours also has a weapon. It’s a short blade quite similar to the Sun and Moon Divine Blade."
The Sect Leader was puzzled.
Ling Chen’s is a sword, not a blade.
But it can only be activated by the Power of Fusion.
It also bears some resemblance to the Sun and Moon Divine Blade.
The two discussed it for a long time.
But they couldn’t figure anything out.
They could only put it aside for now.
The Sect Leader planned to consult some ancient records later.
"It seems both your Divine Soul path and Spiritual Power path have reached the Emperor Realm?"
The Sect Leader asked.
The Sect Leader said: "Logically, your cultivation in the Divine Soul path should be quite good. This path’s cultivation speed tends to be faster. However, as a possessor of the Green Lotus Bloodline, cultivating the Spiritual Power path will maximize its potential. It seems you have to make your own choice!"
Ling Chen fell silent.
Back in the Green Lotus Ancient Clan, the Seventh Elder also told him to choose a path.
At that time, his Divine Soul path hadn’t reached the Emperor Realm, and the Seventh Elder suggested he choose Spiritual Power cultivation.
What puzzled him was that the Heaven and Earth Power he wielded in both paths was different.
Yet, the Sect Leader and Seventh Elder, both Great Emperors, seemed unable to detect this!
"Ling Chen, in this competition for the New Emperor, several members from other sects have reached Three Star Emperor. If you find yourself outmatched, just concede. It’s just a minor honor, which I don’t care about, as long as you all return safely."
The Sect Leader advised.
Because they only accept female disciples, the Flower Immortal Sect has been at the bottom of the ranking in each New Emperor competition.
The reason for speaking to Ling Chen alone was due to Ling Chen’s performance today.
Ling Chen was quite stubborn and refused to concede.
Although Ling Chen defeated Long Qingying in the end, she was still somewhat worried.
In the New Emperor competition, it’s not as forgiving as within the sect.
There could be serious injuries.
That’s why she specifically advised Ling Chen.
The Sect Leader nodded and said, "Alright, go prepare now; you depart in three days."
Ling Chen then took his leave.
Previously, the Sect Leader had already informed them that the Great Elder would lead their group, and the location of the competition for the New Emperor was at the Taixuan Immortal Sect.
After returning, Ling Chen took a trip to the outer sect to meet his father and Ling Wu.
He told them about representing the sect in the competition.
Xiao Qing was also left in the sect.
The Great Elder, Yun Shang, Ling Chen, Long Qingying, and Liu Yue set out together from the Flower Immortal Sect, heading towards the Taixuan Immortal Sect.
The Taixuan Immortal Sect is located in the northern part of Central Province.
It’s quite far from the Flower Immortal Sect.
The five spent six days traveling before finally arriving.
Meanwhile, representatives from the other six Heavenly Sects had already arrived.
This is where the Taixuan Immortal Sect is located.
The people of Taixuan Immortal Sect are all Divine Thought Masters.
The Deputy Sect Master of Taixuan Immortal Sect, Zong Lian, welcomed the Flower Immortal Sect along with Su Ye.
Su Ye was the Guiding Envoy who had previously gone to Qing Province.
Su Ye’s expression showed a hint of surprise.
All other Heavenly Sects, including their own Taixuan Immortal Sect, had cultivators from Central Province participating in this New Emperor competition.
The prodigies from the other eight regions were only One Star Emperors at most and were not qualified to participate.
But this Ling Chen had qualifications?
He sensed that Ling Chen had indeed reached the One Star Emperor level.
But just at the early stage.
"The Flower Immortal Sect seems to pamper this male disciple too much?"
Su Ye thought to himself.
Ling Chen was only a One Star Emperor, yet he was chosen to participate in the New Emperor competition. Has the Flower Immortal Sect given up?
Though, even in the past, the Flower Immortal Sect usually ranked last.
But there’s no need for this! The most update n0vels are published on noveⅼfire.net
Zong Lian said with a smile.
The Great Elder cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Sect Master Zong!"
Then they proceeded up the mountain along the path.
Along the way, Ling Chen saw many disciples of Taixuan Immortal Sect coming down the mountain.
However, their gazes mostly fell on the members of the Flower Immortal Sect.
The Flower Immortal Sect is the only sect for female cultivators.
So, it naturally attracted attention.
When people saw a male disciple among the Flower Immortal Sect, their faces instantly filled with confusion.
What’s supposed to be a sect for female cultivators?
How could there be a male disciple?
Ling Chen remained composed in the face of everyone’s attention.
Soon, they reached the place arranged for the Flower Immortal Sect to rest.
"Everyone, please rest first. If you need anything, feel free to instruct the disciples."
He was responsible for these reception tasks.
Zong Lian was just there to make an appearance, showing respect to the other sects.
After all, even Great Emperors had come.
The Taixuan Immortal Sect had to match that.
"Alright, thank you, Elder Su!"
This title of Elder was different from the real elders.
In the Eight Heavenly Sects, only those at the Great Emperor level could hold the position of Elder.
However, Su Ye was not a Great Emperor.
He was the acting Elder of the Taixuan Immortal Sect.
Essentially, he was the manager.
Having the title of Elder proved convenient.
In the outer sect, Yun Shang was also regarded as an Elder.
But there was still some difference from a true Elder.
The five began to settle in.
After traversing the void for so many days, they were quite weary.
So they began to rest.
Meanwhile, the matter of a male disciple in the Flower Immortal Sect had already spread throughout the entire Taixuan Immortal Sect.
Even the cultivators from the other seven sects participating in the New Emperor competition had heard of it.
It instantly became a focal point.
Even some Great Emperors secretly mocked the Flower Immortal Sect.
The cultivators from the Eight Heavenly Sects gathered.
The Sect Leader of the Taixuan Immortal Sect, Chu Tongtian, personally hosted a banquet for the cultivators from the seven sects.
"Elder Zhong, your disciples this time are truly unique!"
Chu Tongtian’s gaze fell on Ling Chen, "Presumably, this disciple must have exceptional qualities, right?"
He was aware of Ling Chen’s Green Lotus Bloodline.
However, even with the Green Lotus Bloodline, a mere early-stage One Star cultivation was too low.
Among the twenty-four prodigies present, except for Ling Chen, the lowest was at the mid-stage of the Two Star Emperor level.
Even factoring in the Green Lotus Bloodline, Ling Chen was the weakest.
Chu Tongtian knew that in the Flower Immortal Sect, there were more than just Liu Yue at the mid-stage Two Star level.
