Chapter 400: New State Preceptor

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Above the long golden steps, a row of array masters extended to the top of the sky.

The ordinary cultivators outside watched this scene in shock. These thousands of array masters were all famous figures. But now, they were walking on the steps like very pious believers.

Their target was the palace in the sky. This resplendent palace flickered with a very mysterious light and was extremely attractive. In the center of the many palaces in the Heavenly Palace,an even more noble altar stood quietly. After passing through the long and narrow aisle, Liu Tianchi brought many array masters to the foot of the altar.

There was a thin figure at the top of the altar. They were all familiar with that figure. It was Little Man, the array master they respected the most.

“State Preceptor!”

After arriving, they knelt down in an incomparably pious manner and placed their foreheads on the ground, silently waiting for Little Man’s orders.

Little Man cast a gaze at them like a holy light.

“Today, I will step down from the position of State Preceptor and choose a new one for the human race.”

As soon as Little Man said this, there was immediately a cry below. These hundreds-of-years-old humans were crying like children, their hearts aching.

“State Preceptor, you can’t do this!”

“StatePreceptor, please reconsider!”

“If the State Preceptor abdicates, how are we going to place our crippled bodies?”

Little Man looked at them with an incomparably solemn expression and said in an emotionless voice, “The human race will always have to experience the alternation of the old and the new. Today is the day. From now on, you have to assist the new State Preceptor with all your heart until they can grow up!”

As soon as these words were spoken, many array masters below had their own guesses.

Little Man clearly meant to promote young people. She must have chosen one of the three young people yesterday to be the new State Preceptor.

However, the three of them were still so young. All of them were only in their teens. They were simply inexperienced. Wasn’t it too childish to choose an array master among those children as the State Preceptor?

Liu Tianchi took the lead and said, “I will definitely complete the State Preceptor’s instructions.”

Little Man looked at him in satisfaction. Then, a figure flashed beside Little Man. Liu Wen and the others were already standing behind Little Man.

Little Man landed at the side and a ray of light hit the three of them. Liu Wen could not open his eyes because of the light.

“Although there were some twists and turns in the competition yesterday, we have to respect the outcome no matter what. The three of them are the last three people left on the chessboard. I want to choose the final winner among the three of them and become the next State Preceptor.”

After Little Man finished speaking, she looked at the people below and asked.

“Do you have any objections?”

“Everything is up to the State Preceptor. I don’t dare to object.”

“From now on, you have to assist them carefully. The three of them are still young, and they won’t be able to take on such a heavy responsibility immediately. They still need your help.”

“Don’t worry, State Preceptor. We will definitely do our best to assist the next State Preceptor. We won’t disappoint you!”

Little Man raised her hand and called Liu Tianchi over. She stood in front of the three of them.

“I will split the control of the Great City Protection Formation into two. Half of it will be temporarily used by the Elders Council of the association. The other half will be handed over to the next State Preceptor. When the Elders Council thinks that he has grown enough to control the Great City Protection Formation, the other half of the control will naturally fall into his hands.”

A deep black array disc appeared in the sky and landed between Liu Tianchi and the three people opposite him.

With a crack, a crack suddenly appeared in the middle of the array disc. One half was broken into two, one half fell into Liu Tianchi’s hand, and the other half fell into Liu Wen’s hand.

At this moment, a small black square platform suddenly jumped out of the altar and circled above the three of them.

“This Devil Crystal Platform will be the treasure of Ping City in the future. The person chosen by the Devil Crystal Platform will be the next State Preceptor. With the protection of the Devil Crystal Platform, Ping City will naturally be smooth-sailing!”

“Smooth sailing!”

The array formation masters below shouted this slogan again and again.

The devil crystal platform circled above the three of them for a while before finally stopping in front of Liu Wen.

Liu Wen looked in a direction with a puzzled expression.

In a small attic far away, Li Yuanqing stood there silently and looked at them.

Liu Wen did not understand. He thought that his master would hand everything to Yang Tianqi, but why did it fall on him?

Yang Tianqi was stronger than him, and his attainments in combat techniques were also stronger than him. Moreover, he had the powerful Hu Qian as his helper. The two of them were a match made in heaven and would definitely be able to protect Ping City for eternity.

Then why was he the candidate?

Li Yuanqing nodded silently at him and smiled.

Yang Tianqi looked at Liu Wen in surprise. “Liu Wen, what are you waiting for? Master has entrusted you with an important task. Aren’t you going to thank him?”

Liu Wen looked at the devil crystal platform anxiously. He pushed it away and pushed it in front of Yang Tianqi.

“This isn’t mine. This should belong to you!”

“What nonsense are you talking about? Are you going to question Master’s decision?”

“But…”

“No buts!” Yang Tianqi glared at Liu Wen with a serious expression and said, “I will assist you with all my heart in the future. You will definitely become a very wise State Preceptor and be able to lead the entire human race in the Catacombs to become stronger!”

Liu Wen looked at his brother in a daze. The two of them had been fighting since they were young. Although the two of them had a tacit understanding of cooperation, Liu Wen always felt a little uneasy.

Yang Tianqi was talented to begin with, and he cultivated very hard. No matter what he did, he always stood at the front, so his cultivation and array formation attainments could increase so quickly.

Liu Wen had always felt that he was slightly inferior. He was worried that his master’s decision would make Yang Tianqi unhappy.

However, Yang Tianqi said such words. It made him feel uncomfortable, as if he had always measured the heart of a gentleman with his narrow-mindedness.

“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and thank Master. From now on, you’re a trusted State Preceptor.”

Little Man interrupted Yang Tianqi at the side and smiled at Liu Wen. “That’s not it. Only after passing the qualifications of the Elders Council can you be a true State Preceptor. Before that, you can only be considered an agent.”

After saying that, Little Man turned to Liu Tianchi and said, “I’ll leave this child to you in the future. You have to watch over him carefully and let him cultivate wholeheartedly so that he can become a truly qualified country. If he doesn’t do a good job, I’ll hold you responsible.”

Liu Tianchi bowed respectfully. “State Preceptor, don’t worry. Although I’m old, I will definitely do my best to assist him with my last breath.”

Liu Tianchi’s words came from the bottom of his heart. Just now, he was shocked to discover that the three young people in front of him had higher cultivation than him.

He had forcefully endured in the catacombs for hundreds of years. Now, he no longer had the chance to stand out. He was only at the eighth-grade Spirit Transformation Realm. It was probably impossible for him to advance further.

However, he remembered that these three young people did not seem to be so powerful yesterday. However, today, they suddenly became two peak Spirit Transformation Realm experts and a first-stage Formation Arrangement Realm expert.

It was unknown if they had encountered something or if he had sensed wrongly yesterday.

Of course, Liu Tianchi did not know how powerful the White Jade Pill that Li Yuanqing had fed the three of them yesterday was. That was the pill formula that Li Yuanqing had obtained from the Immortal World.

“Then I’ll thank the First Elder first.”

“What are you saying, State Preceptor? This is our responsibility as humans.”

Liu Wen slowly reached out and gently touched the devil crystal platform. The devil crystal platform suddenly dissipated, and a black thread drew a line on Liu Wen’s fingertip.

Liu Wen’s extremely tough skin was also cut, revealing a trace of blood. The devil crystal platform sucked in all the fog formed by the blood. In the end, it expanded and shrank. After a long while, the devil crystal platform finally quietened down. It floated quietly in front of Liu Wen and slowly rotated.

Liu Wen carefully stretched out his hand. This time, the devil crystal platform landed on his hand without his hands being scratched.

He suddenly threw his hand out, and the entire devil crystal platform instantly soared into the sky and rose to a thousand feet tall. Its body even expanded in the wind, instantly turning into a huge platform that was ten thousand feet tall and pointed above Liu Wen’s head.

Everyone in Ping City below watched this scene helplessly. The sky was originally sunny, but now, it has suddenly darkened.

Under the envelopment of the huge stone platform, all the light was blocked.

Thousands of miserable roars came from the devil crystal platform. They kept circling at the bottom and turned into countless hurricanes that whistled and hit people, causing their clothes to flutter.

The array formation masters below watched this scene in shock. They were just thinking how these young fellows could hold on when they reached such a high position.

But now, it seemed that they were indeed thinking too much.

This young man had such powerful strength at such a young age. What kind of achievements he would have in the future was simply unimaginable. Coupled with the enhancement of this powerful devil crystal platform, there were probably not many people on the entire continent who could touch him.

The scene was silent. The whistling in the sky slowly calmed down. Liu Wen was still not used to releasing some of the devilish aura.

Although it was accidentally released, it also played a very good deterrence effect, scaring everyone below.

Liu Wen hurriedly put away all these things. The devil crystal platform shrank rapidly and finally landed in Liu Wen’s palm, disappearing into his palm.

Little Man watched this scene in satisfaction. Liu Wen’s comprehension was quite high. Her master had chosen these few disciples. He was really discerning.

Liu Wen looked at his palm excitedly and looked in the direction of his master. However, he had already left. The platform was empty and there was no one.

Little Man looked at the people below and finally announced.

“From today onwards, I will enter seclusion to cultivate and break through to a higher realm. If we are destined to meet again, you must deepen your attainments in array formations step by step and strengthen the human race.”

“Goodbye, State Preceptor!”

“Goodbye, State Preceptor!”

The array masters below knelt on the ground and cried again.

How dangerous was it for this powerful State Preceptor to leave them and pursue a higher realm, especially after she reached this realm?

In the Formation Arrangement Realm, every step was incomparably dangerous.

They did not know that there was a peak Formation Arrangement Realm existence behind Little Man. They were thinking about how to bring them to the Immortal World.

Immortal World, Martial Yuan Sect.

In the ethereal mountains, on both sides of a chessboard at the top of an inconspicuous low mountain peak.

A young man was accompanying a youth in a game of chess.

The two of them held crystal clear white-feathered cups in their hands. There was some yellow liquid inside that emitted dense spiritual energy.

“Brother Zhao, in that case, you’ve already arranged everything?”

The person sitting opposite this man was Li Yuanqing. To be precise, it was his Wood Spirit Clone.

Li Yuanqing had the Wood Spirit Clone and was constantly looking for opportunities in the Immortal World. Although he could successfully arrive at the Immortal World, he had to be legitimate when he arrived. Otherwise, he would be rejected by the humans in the Immortal World. At that time, it would be troublesome.

The connection Li Yuanqing found was the Martial Yuan Sect.

Speaking of which, the Martial Yuan Sect was actually a sect affiliated with the Black Dragon.

The Immortal World was a place dominated by humans. Under the hundreds of human sects of various sizes, there were thousands of demon clans affiliated with them.

The Black Dragon was under the Martial Yuan Sect to begin with, so the Immortal Ascension Doors he set up were all near the Martial Yuan Sect. This was also why Li Yuanqing could interact with the people in this sect.

If he wanted to ascend to the Immortal World, the only way was through the lightning tribulation.

As long as he could endure the most powerful Thunder Fire in the lower realm, the spiritual energy in his body would also be able to reform. That body would be rejected by the Lower Realm and accepted by the Immortal World.

This way, he could successfully advance to the Immortal World.

The other method was to find a status in the sects of the Immortal World.

The man in front of Li Yuanqing was called Zhao Baoyun. He was the person in charge of the medicinal garden.

Recently, the sect was about to recruit some people to manage the medicinal garden. He did not expect such a fellow to be interested and very enthusiastic. Zhao Baoyun agreed to this matter.

“Brother, how can I be wrong about what I promised you? Just relax and bring your two sisters here.”

“Then I’ll thank Brother Zhao first.”

“There’s nothing to thank me for. You can look for me if there’s anything!”
