Seeing that almost everyone was gathered around the altar, Yun Chen ordered Xiaobai to land. After he landed, almost all the gazes were directed to Yun Chen because he was riding an innate realm companion beast. Even Yun Guanyin was very surprised after seeing Yun Chen's companion beast. His Purple winged hippocamp couldn't even be compared to it. So, he decided to act according to his previous plan.
«Yun Chen, you really dared to come here. Hand over your earth-grade weapons and all the treasures you have an I will let you die quickly! » Yun Guanyin shouted at Yun Chen while surrounding him with the other disciple of the Tiangong sect.
«Oh? So, my weapons were your objectives from the beginning. It must be your father that told you about it. If you want my weapons so badly, come and take it yourself. » Yun Chen replied to him while smiling.
«Hmph! I am not as dumb as your other opponents. Everyone, start the formation! » Yun Guanyin cried out. All the disciples that surrounded Yun Chen began to make some complicated hand signs and a giant formation appeared on the sky over Yun Chen. Yun Chen didn't make any move. But, when the formation was finished and Yun Guanyin manifested his Soul-extinguishing fire in order to activate the formation, Yun Chen disappeared from his previous location and appeared in front of Yun Guanyin. He was so quick that there were only some afterimages left behind him. At that moment, Yun Chen used his ability to forcibly extract the Soul-extinguishing fire from Yun Guanyin's body.
«Yun Chen, how dare you do this to me! Give me back my fire. » shouted Yun Guanyin overwhelmed by pain and anger.
After losing his fire, Yun Guanyin's cultivation dropped to the fourth layer of spirit-gathering realm and the formation in the sky crumbled automatically.
«Everyone, kill him and take back my fire! » Yun Guanyin ordered to the Tiangong sect's disciple.
However, when they were about to unleash their attacks, seven people appeared around Yun Chen to defend him.
«Hehe! Yun Guanyin, aren't you ashamed to call yourself a disciple of the Tiangong sect? To kill some someone at the sprit-gathering realm, you are sending people at the peak of foundation-building! You have disgraced the name of the three major sects. I, Yu Sifeng, can't stay still and watch you going on the wrong path. » said Yu Sifeng who was one of the seven people defending Yun Chen.
« Yu Sifeng, what do you mean by this? Why did you interfere? This is a family matter, and you have no right to meddle in it. » Yun Guanyin replied angrily.
«Oh? A family matter? Then there is no need to use the disciples of the Tiangong sect. If you solve it yourself, we will not intervene but if the other disciples are implicated, don't blame us for being cruel. » Yu Sifeng said with a menacing gaze.
When they were at it, a loud voice resounded inside everyone's head.
«Welcome everyone to the heavenly lake! The heavenly lake is a place of opportunities matched according to everyone's qualifications and talents. If you want to enter and find your opportunity, each of you must step on the altar and touch the crystal orb. After identifying your qualifications and your talents, you will be sent to one of the six different islands around the central island. If someone meet the special qualification, he will be teleported directly to the central to receive the guardian inheritance. » said the mysterious voice.
After hearing that voice, everyone headed toward the altar. Each time someone step on the altar and touch the crystal, it will emit a light and the person is then teleported.
«Humph! Yun Chen, wait for me to come back and we will settle this grudge. » Yun Guanyin said before heading toward the altar.
«I will be waiting for you! » Yun Chen shouted at him.
After Yun Guanyin disappeared, Yu Sifeng came to Yun Chen.
«Young master Yun! We can finally meet you. We have heard a lot about you. » Yu Sifeng declared.
«I know you wouldn't help me out of nowhere. So, what do you want from me. » Yun Chen replied coldly.
«It seems that we can't hide anything from young master Yun. We were sent here by the great elder of the Cangxuan sect and we are inner disciples of the sect. There were two purposes. The first was for the secret realm and the second was for you. The great elder is an old friend of Sir Chu Gao and he heard about your talent in curing poisons. So, we are here to ask for your help because his daughter was infected with corpse poison, and nothing seems to be working. If nothing is done within the next three month, she will surely die. The great elder can only slow the spreading of the poison. Moreover, before been poisoned, she was the disciple with the highest talent in cultivation in the sect. The great elder said that he would meet all the conditions you would ask if you can cure her. » explained Yu Sifeng.
«Oh? If it is corpse poison, there is no problem… » Yun Chen said.
« Then …. » Yu Sifeng said in excitement.
«…but there is a condition. » Yun Chen interrupted him.
«What conditions? » Yu Sifeng asked after collecting himself.
«I heard that the three major sects have a way to enter the thunder forbidden land without being armed by the thunderbolts on its border. I want to enter the forbidden land. That is my only condition. » Yun Chen said directly.
«This…. » Yu Sifeng was very confused.
«If he can't even meet this condition, there is no need to look for me again. » Yun Chen warned.
«This condition shouldn't be difficult. But the forbidden land is a very dangerous place. No one ever came back from there alive. » Yu Sifeng said with a worried face.
« « Don't worry, I know what I am doing. And tell him that I may have a way to remove that thunder barrier. And at that moment, it will greatly benefit your sect. » Yun Chen said without care.
«Alright! I will deliver your message to the great elder. » Yu Sifeng politely replied to Yun Chen.
«But when will you be there? » asked Yu Sifeng.
«I will come to you in two months at most. So, don't worry! » Yun Chen replied to him.
«Well! Then, we will be going ahead. » Yu Sifeng said before heading to the altar with the other disciples.
After they disappeared, Yun Chen decided to also enter.
«Xiaobai, come back to your space! » Yun Chen said before heading toward the altar.
After stepping on the altar, Yun Chen saw the crystal orb and posed his hand on it. At that moment, the previous voice ringed inside his head.
« Special qualification matched! You will be teleported in the central island. » the voice said.
In an instant, Yun Chen saw himself in front of a temple and when he looked around, he noticed that he was not on the six other islands but on the central island. Suddenly, the gates of the temple opened, and a gentle voice could be heard from inside.
«Come in, chosen one! » said the voice.
Yun Chen was very confused, but he was also curious to know what the person behind that voice wanted.
