Chapter 113
Chapter 113 – Daoist Black
Under Guan Yi Yun’s lead, both of them went through the Black Mountain and arrived at its deepest area. An ancient palace was built at this place, and from the way it looked, it had at least a few hundred years of history.
Along the way, Guan Yi Yun told Jiang Chen about the Sect Chief. The Black Sect had set its foot in the Qi Province more than a few hundred years ago, and there had been a few Sect Chiefs. According to Guan Yi Yun, almost no one knew the Sect Chief’s real name, all the previous Sect Chiefs had been using the same name, Daoist Black.
Daoist Black was the strongest man within the Black Sect. His cultivation realm was at the peak of the Divine Core realm, only one step away from the Combat Soul realm. However, there was a huge gap between the Divine Core realm and the Combat Soul realm. Most people couldn’t overcome this gap no matter how much they cultivated. The Black Sect had existed for so long, but there had yet to be a single Combat Soul warrior in its history.
The palace was the Black Sect’s most important place. Normally, only the Divine Core sect elders would come here. Even Guan Yi Yun himself couldn’t come to this place without permission.
Actually, in the Black Sect, there were a group of core disciples. However, there were strict requirements for one to become a core disciple. Not only does one need to be a Divine Core warrior, one must also reach the Divine Core realm before a certain age. Therefore, the Black Sect only had a handful of core disciples. Most of them were training outside the sect, and they would rarely be near the sect headquarters. This was why the Qi Province competition was only for outer circle and inner circle disciples.
The palace was built at the mountain’s waist. Although it was just a single story building, it was still a solemn and grand building.
A black plaque was hanging on top of the palace. Two huge golden words were written on it, ‘Palace Black’. The calligraphy was written so wonderfully that it made anyone who stared at it have a feeling of wanting to worship it.
“I have my ways; one year is more than enough.”
Jiang Chen shrugged with a confident look.
“Good! You just need to cultivate with all your effort. The Black Sect will never run out of resources, but, you’ll need to compete for most of the resources. No matter how big of a genius you are, you will only be able to grow under constant competition.”
Daoist Black said.
“Disciple understands.”
Jiang Chen nodded.
“Alright, Jiang Chen, you can go back now. I’ll give you a special privilege, from now on, Palace Black’s doors will always be open for you. If you encounter any questions regarding cultivation, you can come here anytime and look for me.”
Daoist Black said. This was the first time in the history of the Black Sect that a promise like this was made. Palace Black had never opened its door for a disciple from the outer circle like this. Being able to receive guidance from the Sect Chief himself was a dream for many disciples.
If any of the Black Sect disciples knew about this, they would be extremely envious.
However, too bad, Jiang Chen could only laugh at Daoist Black’s words. Does the previously greatest Saint need a little Divine Core warrior’s guidance? Was this a joke?
Without being rude, Jiang Chen could simply give Daoist Black some advice, and he would benefit hugely from it. It could even make him break through to the Combat Soul realm in a short period of time. This was something incredibly simple for Jiang Chen to do.
Of course, Jiang Chen wouldn’t give Daoist Black any guidance. His reincarnation was his biggest secret, he was not stupid enough to find himself some trouble. Besides, guidance from a Mortal Core disciple to a Divine Core Sect Chief; would Daoist Black really listen to him?
Jiang Chen cupped his fist and bowed towards Daoist Black, then he turned around and left Palace Black. Staring at Jiang Chen’s back, Daoist Black squinted his eyes, and with an indifferent voice he said, “I hope you won’t disappoint me.”
Outside Palace Black, Guan Yi Yun was still waiting for Jiang Chen. When he saw Jiang Chen walking out, he hurriedly walked up to him.
“Junior disciple Jiang, did Sect Chief give you something good?”
Guan Yi Yun asked. With his status within the Black Sect, amongst all disciples from the outer circle, only Jiang Chen could make him talk in such a polite manner.
“Do I look like I’ve gotten something good?”
Jiang Chen showed his hands, then he diverted the topic, “Senior disciple Guan, have you really decided to enter Inferno Hell tomorrow?”
“That’s right, I have made up my mind. I must act or perish; I will gamble my future within Inferno Hell!”
Guan Yi Yun said with a serious expression.
“Be careful.”
Jiang Chen reminded him. He had a pretty good impression of Guan Yi Yun, so he didn’t want to see anything bad happen to him.
“Alright, I’ll need to prepare myself. Junior disciple Jiang, you have wings, so you can just fly back on your own.”
After saying that, Guan Yi Yun flew up into the skies and soon disappeared from Jiang Chen’s vision.
