Free Web NovelChapter 2019: Chapter 2105: Nine Dragons Ascension
Lord Wei of Yellow Wind City had been suppressing his anger for a long time. At this moment, he couldn’t hold back anymore, and his eyes seemed to blaze with fire as he pointed at Chen Nan, saying, "You..."
With the death of the Supreme King from the Sky Bat Clan, the remaining supreme rulers in the city were just ordinary in strength. Without a leader to deter the other Eight Great Cities, their supreme rulers would not only face defeat but also risk becoming prey in the Ascension Battle.
Every time the Nine Dragons Ascension takes place, many supreme rulers perish, and this is tacitly accepted by the Nine Great Ancient Cities.
Sometimes, slaughter determines who is truly strong.
"Hahaha, I was just joking. Lord Wei really got angry. This Nine Dragons Ascension is so interesting, how could I not participate? Not only will I join, but I’ll also help Lord Wei win a rank back."
Chen Nan laughed heartily, showing no sign of embarrassment despite Wei Yixiao’s change of expression.
Wei Yixiao’s face was red, and he knew clearly that Chen Nan was intentionally making him feel sick.
The rewards of the Nine Dragons Ascension Battle are rich for supreme rulers, and if one can win first place, they can obtain a Divine Pill from the Nine Dragons Divine Cauldron, which can increase the chance of achieving Supreme King status by more than fifty percent.
"I am just cooperating with you; do you think I can’t see through your little schemes?" Wei Yixiao forced a smile and laughed, but inside he resented Chen Nan for making him lose face in front of two Supreme Kings and two juniors.
"Brother Wei, Brother Man, Chen Nan obtained the Guardian Order and the defense qualification from the Heavenly Dao Pavilion. It is getting late; why don’t we return home and chat more tomorrow?"
Jiang Yan knew Chen Nan carried the Kui Water Crystal, and it’s dangerous at night, so he planned to use these days to help him refine the Kui Water Crystal. By then, with the Water and Fire Laws, his chances in the Nine Dragons Ascension Battle would double.
"Alright."
Everyone returned to the Lord’s Mansion; Chen Nan had gained a token in hand. This token was forged from ten-thousand-year-old meteorite iron, emitting a chilling aura continuously but preventing Deviation.
With the Chaos Sacred Body, the effect seemed rather trivial to Chen Nan.
Chen Nan valued the function of the Guardian Order, allowing him to freely enter and exit the Lord’s Mansion, and go anywhere in Yellow Wind City, with powers akin to a monk’s treasure sword.
"There must be quite a few Heavenly People Clan remnants lurking in Yellow Wind City; when they come seeking death, I can have a good time slaughtering them." Chen Nan chuckled inwardly as he was about to return to his room to rest.
Jiang Yan grabbed him, "Chen Nan, keeping the Kui Water Crystal with you is not safe. I plan to help you refine it over these days; what do you think?"
Although he asked tentatively, he was confident Chen Nan would agree without hesitation.
But this guy looked up at him, "Senior Jiang, your relationship with Wei is just average; do you truly wish for me to win first place?"
"Haha, but given the dangers of the Nine Dragons Ascension Battle, I’m worried about your safety. Wei Yixiao harbors ill intentions; having killed his Sky Bat Clan people, he won’t let you off easily."
Jiang Yan sighed, "Admittedly, it’s partly my fault. In a moment of excitement that day, I publicly displayed the Kui Water Crystal..."
Chen Nan laughed and shook his head: "Senior Jiang, regardless, I have the ability to protect myself; you can rest assured.
As for the Water Law, I can comprehend it myself without urgency."
Chen Nan felt a serenity in his heart. Although he valued many things, he couldn’t force them, which instead led to smooth sailing, refusing to intentionally change himself even upon reaching the Hundred Clan Domain.
"Fine, if you say so, I’ll respect your decision." Jiang Yan bid farewell to Chen Nan and the others after speaking.
Chen Nan turned to Man Wuji, "Brother Man, I plan to participate in the Nine Dragons Ascension. I haven’t discussed it with you beforehand; is that alright?"
"In the Hundred Clan Domain, whatever you do is your affair. If you encounter any issues you can’t resolve, I’ll lend you a hand." Man Wuji replied carelessly.
Man Wuji wasn’t overly worried about the Nine Dragons Ascension; he had confidence in Chen Nan’s abilities.
This kid harbors many mysteries; he once thought he had seen through them, but now finds it increasingly difficult to decipher.
Chen Nan nodded.
"Senior brother, I want to go with you to the Nine Dragons Ascension Battle," Ye Yiyi chimed in.
The Black Feathered Chicken joined in, "Chen Nan, damn it, this Lord’s Mansion is truly dull, if you’re going to fight, I’m coming to cheer you on."
Chen Nan chuckled: "No problem, I’d feel uneasy leaving you behind at the Lord’s Mansion. When the time comes, being with me, having Brother Man, can also protect you."
"Hah, is Chicken Lord the type that needs protection? It’s always Chicken Lord protecting others. When the time comes, leave Yiyi girl to me, I guarantee she’ll remain unscathed."
The Black Feathered Chicken spread its large wings, crowing.
Chen Nan rolled his eyes; this dead Black Chicken, albeit possessing the Devil Core with strong recovering abilities, still lacked compared to a true strongman.
However, its pretense was unmatched even by Supreme Kings.
In the following days, Chen Nan and the others roamed Yellow Wind City, and in a short span, Chen Nan knew every shop’s location clearly.
"Regretful indeed, thinking back to the days of robbing shops together with the little Heavenly Demon in the Abyss Prison was incredibly exhilarating." Chen Nan glanced towards the Haotian Tower, where the little Heavenly Demon’s body continued to be nourished and gently strengthened by Spiritual Energy.
His body was nearing supreme status, yet the Conscious Sea remained blank, unlike the Ancient Demon Soul which weakened merely due to Time’s erosion. The little Heavenly Demon, to recover, must first retrieve his memories.
Otherwise, he would always be like a newborn baby.
"Such a pity; the shops in Yellow Wind City can’t be robbed. The resources here are so abundant; placing them in these shops is truly a waste, excessive!"
Chen Nan eyed the varying height shops along the street.
He felt extreme heartache, as if these shops belonged to him.
"Chen Nan, Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has two messages; one bad, the other worse. Which do you want to hear?" Man Wuji’s voice transmitted to his ears.
Chen Nan furrowed his brows; the Wilderness Domain shouldn’t be evolved, should it? How’s Brother Man indulging in black humor?
Man Wuji sighed, "Star Moon Ancestor joined the Ten Strongest, replacing King Kao Shan’s position, becoming one of the Five Great Kings."
"This... Star Moon Ancestor has always been a ruthless one, disregarding the juniors from the two great sacred places, solely obsessed with entering the Domain Lord Realm. He found a method but has already turned Demonic; he’s destined to be an enemy."
Chen Nan shook his head, though he hadn’t considered it, he had long viewed Star Moon Ancestor as an enemy.
"And Witch Demon King and Heavenly Evil Emperor are missing, seemingly vanished into thin air. But the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has accepted the task and will surely uncover information. After the Nine Dragons Ascension Battle, there should be no issue."
Man Wuji, a Supreme King, leveraging the King’s Order, can force any city’s Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion to oblige by offering sufficient compensation.
Furthermore, they may even favor him with resources.
