Chapter 529: Divine Power Tribulation! (1)

Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

It had been 27 days since the Qian Heaven Palace trial began.

However, the people outside were not in a hurry, because the shortest time the Qian Heaven Palace trial lasted was 15 days, and the longest was 30 days.

In other words, in three days at most, the Qian Heaven Palace would open again and release the cultivators from the Central Prefecture.

At this moment, south of the Central Prefecture, near the northernmost border city of the Heavenly Prefecture, Su Yang City.

Su Yang City was named after a person. It was to commemorate Martial God Su Yang, who had sacrificed himself in the battle with the foreign races.

However, in the past thousand years, martial arts had been declining day by day. Under the pressure of the aristocratic family, martial artists could only survive in the cracks.

The path to the upper realm of martial arts was almost cut off.

A city that commemorated Martial God naturally wouldn’t be welcomed by the aristocratic families.

Especially since the Heavenly Prefecture was the center of Great Wei. Other than the Five Great Surnames and Ten Great Families, there were also many medium-sized aristocratic families entrenched in the various prefectures.

Such a city that symbolized the spirit of a martial artist also declined day by day with the decline of the martial arts style. It gradually became a small city on the border. Only when business travelers passed by to replenish fresh water and food would it become more popular.

However, Su Yang City had been abnormal in the past few days. It was much more lively than at any time in the past decades.

Grandmaster-level experts who were rarely seen in Su Yang City could be seen everywhere.

In the eyes of ordinary martial artists, these Grandmasters were almost at the peak, but they could only be the guards of the young masters and young ladies.

“What’s going on recently? Why are there so many martial arts experts in Su Yang City?”

“Su Yang City is neither big nor small. I didn’t expect it to be so crowded.”

“That’s right! All the inns in the entire city have been booked, so I can only go to the residences to stay.”

“Do you think it’s because a rare treasure is about to appear that it attracted so many factions?”

“Even if there’s a treasure, it has nothing to do with us. You didn’t see the few young masters today. The gaze of the follower behind almost made me suffer Qi Deviation. He i s probably a Martial Saint!”

A few martial artists by the roadside discussed softly. To be able to gather so many people here, if a rare treasure really appeared, they had to take a gamble even if they had to risk their lives.

“Ignorant!” At this moment, a soft sneer came from behind them.

They turned around and saw a sloppy old man in ragged clothes sitting in the corner, chewing on a sizzling drumstick.

“Old fellow! You’re courting death!” One of the middle-aged men with a long saber at his waist was furious and made a posture of drawing his saber.

“Wait! Brother He, don’t tell me you want to use your 81 Chasing Wind Saber on a beggar? Why lower yourself to his level?”

A black-robed old man beside the man raised his hand to stop him.

“Hmph!” The middle-aged man snorted coldly and sheathed his saber.

After the old beggar finished eating the drumstick, he wiped the oil off his hands on his chest and combed his messy hair. Then, he said calmly,

“These people from the aristocratic family are here to wait for the Qian Heaven Palace to open.”

“Qian Heaven Palace?” The martial artists from before were stunned when they heard this. They turned around and looked at the old beggar.

“From the looks of it, you’ve probably never even been to the prefecture capital in your lives.” The old beggar curled his lips.

“You!” The middle-aged man was furious.

“Brother He.” The black-robed old man stopped him. Then, he looked at the old beggar and cupped his fists. “This elder brother, please. The Qian Heaven Palace you’re talking about is the immortal palace that opens once every 60 years. Legend has it that martial artists who enter it can reach the heavens in

a single step and become immortals and ancestors?”

“Looks like you’re quite knowledgeable.” The old beggar glanced at him and continued.

“If I can obtain the Qian Heaven Essence Qi’ in the Qian Heaven Palace, the probability of a Fiend Condensation Realm martial artist breaking through to the Divine Power Realm will increase greatly. Becoming a Martial God is indeed considered becoming an immortal for martial artists!”

“Brother, now that you mention it, I remember. When I was young, I heard from my uncle in the same village that he seemed to have gone to the prefecture capital and mentioned the Qian Heaven Palace. He also seemed to have mentioned the aristocratic family.” The black-robed elder revealed a nostalgic expression.

“Could that aristocratic family be…”

“What aristocratic family? It’s just a stronger martial arts family. You even believe the words of an old beggar. Forgive me for not…” The middle-aged man said disdainfully and turned to walk across the street.

” Pfft! ”

The middle-aged man’s voice stopped abruptly. His entire body was split into two from the middle, and blood and internal organs flowed to the ground.

“Why do you have to block the middle of such a wide road?” A handsome young man in a green robe walked over the middle-aged man’s corpse with his hands behind his back. His feet were covered in blood, but they were not stained at all.

Before leaving, the green-robed young man glanced at the old beggar and raised his eyebrows slightly before leaving.

This bloody and terrifying scene shocked the middle-aged man’s companions. When the few of them were swept by the green-robed young man’s gaze, they felt as if they had fallen into an icy abyss. Their bodies turned cold as they stood motionless by the road and did not even dare to breathe loudly.

The green-robed young man did not seem to see them at all. He slowly disappeared at the end of the street.

“This is the aristocratic family. Furthermore, they don’t even have a Snake-level.” The old beggar’s tone was calm as he looked at the black-robed elder.

“In the past few days, the experts of the aristocratic family have gathered here. It’s best for you to stay away from here to avoid losing your lives for no reason. There’s no need for a reason for people from the aristocratic family to kill martial artists, especially the aristocratic families of Qi and Chu.”

“Thank you for your guidance, Senior. We’ll leave now!” The black-robed old man and his companions thanked him repeatedly and hurriedly crawled into the alley, preparing to take a detour to leave Su Yang City..
