Chapter 279 Award Of The Grand Sect Competition
'Archaic palace! Immortal abode! Both of them most be the same. It means the imperial family is doing its preparation secretly without informing others about the details.
As for the appearance of space crack and devil race, it most be related to the gate of Archaic palace but the imperial family is keeping everyone in dark to gain an unfair advantage', Zhan Chen thought to himself after sending Long Xinyu with Sun Xiu lan.
He looked at the three beauties who were looking at him worriedly. An evil glint appeared on his face as he observed their beautiful features.
"Experts will gather from various places when it will be time for the opening of the Archaic palace. I don't know how much time I still have but I must prepare myself. A place linked to immortal world will never be simple. So, I must be at my best while competing with the geniuses of the immortal world", he thought to himself.
The rest of the night was beautiful as Zhan Chen busied himself in dual cultivation. His hardwork could only be imagined as sweet moans kept coming out constantly from the closed rooms.
------------------
"Knock, knock", Zhan Chen knocked the door of Sun Xiu lan in the early morning. He wanted to check Long Xinyu unless she went and cause some more trouble.
"Coming", the voice of Sun Xiu lan came and few moments latter, the door to her room was opened. "Zhan Chen", a smile appeared on her face after she saw him infront of her door.
"Good morning Xiu lan", Zhan Chen greeted her and together they entered her room. A speechless look appeared on his face after he saw the deeply asleep creature on Sun Xiu lan's bed.
"This little girl is too reckless. If it goes like this, then sooner or later, she would be caught. If it was before yesterday night, then I have nothing to do with her. But now, after knowing her, I can't let her come to any harm", Zhan Chen spoke.
"Yes, I also don't want her to be caught. We need to hide her properly. Otherwise, the Spirit palace experts may sniff her out", Sun Xiu lan added.
"Xiu lan, how about staying here today? I will ask Xintong to accompany you. Together, both of you can look after her untill I return from the venue of the grand sect competition", Zhan Chen spoke.
"Okay, I will stay with her", Sun Xiu lan nodded her head as an affectionate look appeared on her face. Zhan Chen smiled and kissed her gently before walking out of her room.
"Good morning senior", Zhan Chen greeted Lu Tai Cang after seeing him in the main hall. Lu Tai Cang nodded his head slightly but didn't speak anything. There was a thoughtful look on his face as he seemed to be disturbed by something.
"Senior, is there some problem?", Zhan Chen couldn't hold his curiousity after a while and asked Lu Tai Cang. Lu Tai Cang came out of his reverie and finally looked towards Zhan Chen.
"News has come from the Eastern region. The space crack in the Red mountain is widening rapidly and before long our continent may face a huge number of devils from the shadow planets", he spoke while looking towards Zhan Chen with a serious look on his face.
"So senior, what is the decision of your clan? Is the Lu clan planning to assist the imperial family?", Zhan Chen asked Lu Tai Cang after hearing the information.
"I don't know. This matter is so important that even the clan head can't decide it on his own. The matter will most probably go to the ancestoral palace of my clan", Lu Tai Cang replied.
"Good, a hurried decision will only create trouble for your clan", Zhan Chen spoke. He wanted to warn Lu Tai Cang about the actual danger but he decided against it after thinking for a while.
'The true danger is not the devils but the experts who are going to descend from the immortal world. I must increase my cultivation as much as I can before the door to the Archaic palace appears', Zhan Chen thought to himself.
"Zhan Chen, do you know the rewards of the Grand sect competition?", Lu Tai Cang asked after staying silent for a while. Zhan Chen shook his head as he had yet to think about the rewards.
"Reward for this year's grand sect competition is really marvelous. All the nine powers has decided to contribute. So, the top ten participants will gain the maximum benefit out of the competetion", Lu Tai Cang spoke.
"Beside the cultivation resources, top ten participants are allowed to enter the treasured land of various powers. These places are full of opportunities and you can speed up your cultivation if you manage to cultivate in such places", he further added.
"Oh! Treasured lands! I wonder what sort of opportunities are there in the treasured lands of the nine powers?", Zhan Chen asked with a curious look on his face.
"All the nine powers have unique treasure lands of their own. Our Lu clan has an earth pond which is really suitable for those who have earth element affinity. Huo clan has sacred altar of fire, Shen clan has an ancient graveyard. Other six powers also have their own treasured lands which you will know after you go to visit them", Lu Tai Cang spoke.
"But the nine peak powers aside, what I want you to remind is that there is also the Spirit palace. Their treasured land is the most ancient one and it is really helpful for those who are facing bottlenecks in their cultivation.
In general time, they will never allow an outsider to their treasured land but this time, they have no option. You are in for a huge surprise when you visit the treasured land of the Spirit palace", Lu Tai Cang added further.
Their conversation continued untill the last of Zhan Chen's women shown up. Zhan Chen asked Lin Xintong to stay and she happily agreed to his request. Lu Tai Cang felt some confusion but he didn't want to intrude upon Zhan Chen's privacy.
He took out his flying treasure and helped all the girls to board it. After everyone took a seat, he entered inside his flying treasure and took the flying boat into high in the sky.
The venue of the grand sect competition was already bustling when Zhan Chen 's group landed on the hill. Lu clan group was already present on the hill. Their eyes lit up after they saw the arrival of Zhan Chen's group.
Zhan Chen greeted the stoic looking second elder and walked towards Lu Mingxi. A shy expression appeared on her face as she saw him walking towards her.
