Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 812 - : Joining the Alliance

Chapter 812: Chapter 812: Joining the Alliance

Wang Chen was very young, with no significant background, and he had acquired an extremely rare beast pet capable of transformation.

In the eyes of the cultivators in the Green Cloud Palace, he was like a child walking in a marketplace with Jade Currency in hand, irresistibly tempting to rob.

Hongyuan used the pretext of testing to press Wang Chen, and his intentions were clear to everyone.

He thought Wang Chen, being young, was someone he could bully, but he did not expect Wang Chen to suddenly turn against him, and even publicly strip him of his face.

“Impudent!”

Enraged with embarrassment, Hongyuan brazenly struck out at Wang Chen, reaching for him with his hand.

His right palm swelled multiple times in an instant, his skin turned to a pale golden hue, and his muscles bulged with tremendous strength.

Golden Invincible Claw!

This move was one of Hongyuan’s signature techniques, and once someone was caught by it, not even a casting of bronze or iron could withstand it!

Most importantly, it was unseemly for a cultivator of his standing to resort to a sneak attack in full view of everyone, which made many onlookers curl their lips in secret disdain.

But not a single person stepped forward to stop him.

Including Mage Jiyun.

The only one who might support Wang Chen was probably Mo Han, but this cultivator had not anticipated Hongyuan being so shameless and was a step too slow to intervene.

However, Wang Chen merely chuckled coldly and promptly raised his right hand, pressing his index and middle fingers together to form a sword gesture.

He thrust out towards Hongyuan’s claw!

From his fingertips, a surge of incredibly sharp Qi Energy burst forth, striking right at the palm of his opponent.

“Ah!”

Hongyuan immediately let out a scream, hastily retracting his hand and retreating in extreme disarray.

Drops of bright red blood splattered onto the ground, and many sharp-eyed cultivators spotted the fresh wound in the palm of his hand.

It turned out that Wang Chen’s finger strike had pierced through Hongyuan’s palm!

Those who witnessed this scene were inwardly shocked, for they knew that half of Hongyuan’s skill lay in his hands, and yet Wang Chen had broken through his Golden Invincible Claw with a single finger, attesting to his formidable and daunting power.

All of them ceased to underestimate Wang Chen!

But Hongyuan, having suffered a great loss, was frantic with rage and immediately burst into curses, “You little brat! You…”

Wang Chen’s finger strike had not only broken his Cultivation Technique, but it had also injured his cultivation. Without several years of hard cultivation, he wouldn’t think of recovering!

“Fellow Taoist, watch your words.”

At this moment, Mage Jiyun, who was sitting on the cloud platform, suddenly waved his horsetail whisk, interrupting Hongyuan’s insults, “We cultivators should not stoop to the level of common riffraff.”

Hongyuan was already on the verge of exploding, but Mage Jiyun firmly suppressed him, preventing him from taking action to salvage his honor.

He gave Wang Chen a venomous glare, then turned his head and left the main hall.

Mage Jiyun shook his head and gave Wang Chen a slight smile, “Fellow Taoist has profound skills and skillful practices, Jiyun admires you.”

His gaze swept over the faces of the cultivators present, and he asked loudly, “Is there anyone else who wishes to spar with Fellow Taoist Wang Chen?”

There was no one left.

No one was a fool.

Although Hongyuan was narrow-minded and hot-tempered, his strength was well recognized within the Green Cloud Alliance, and such a simple defeat at the hands of Wang Chen spoke volumes about Wang Chen’s cultivation strength, didn’t it?

What a monster!

“Very well.”

Mage Jiyun continued, “Then is there anyone opposed to Fellow Taoist Wang Chen joining the Green Cloud Alliance?”

Everyone exchanged glances, and even less were willing to be the ones to stand out.

“Good!”

Mage Jiyun clapped his hands and laughed, “From now on, Fellow Taoist Wang Chen is a member of our Green Cloud Alliance.”

“Congratulations, fellow Daoist!”

A group of cultivators offered their congratulations to Wang Chen.

Wang Chen politely returned the gesture, “Thank you.”

Next, under the company of Mo Han, Wang Chen completed the procedures for joining the alliance, and he received items representing his status, such as a Peach Wood Talisman Card, a Taoist robe, a horsetail whisk, pills, and so on.

The latter were benefits for new members, who would continue to receive a portion of cultivation resources every year.

Of course, this allotment was barely sufficient for cultivators; to obtain more, they needed to exchange Merit Points.

Within the Green Cloud Alliance, what the cultivators used for transactions wasn’t Jade Currency or Purple Gold Coins but Merit Points.

Wang Chen was naturally very familiar with this system.

There was no need for Mo Han to explain in detail.

Furthermore, Wang Chen was allotted a Hidden Cottage located within Taiwu Mountain.

Most of the Green Cloud Alliance’s cultivators did not practice within the Green Cloud Palace. They were scattered throughout the vast Taiwu Mountain range, surrounding Green Cloud Peak in a formation akin to stars encircling the moon in their Hidden Cottages, annexes, Cave Mansions, and manors.

Some cultivators would go out to gather, hunt, travel, or experience life, and then their Soul Lamps would be extinguished never to return. The places where they practiced would then be allocated to other cultivators who came after.

Since Wang Chen was only a new member, he was allocated the most basic level of Hidden Cottage.

If he wanted to exchange for a new residence in the future, he would need to use Merit Points.

The Hidden Cottage allocated to him was dozens of miles away from Green Cloud Palace and situated within a quiet valley, quite a secluded spot.

But Wang Chen felt it was very nice.

“Thank you very much, fellow Daoist Mo!” Wang Chen expressed his gratitude to Mo Han, who had been helping him all this while, and then handed over a bottle of pills, “Please accept this bottle of Qi Nurturing Pills.”

Mo Han was surprised.

Qi Nurturing Pills were excellent aids for cultivation. Due to their precious ingredients and the difficulties involved in making them, one pill would need ten Merit Points to exchange and even then, they were not always available.

A bottle from Wang Chen was indeed a generous gift!

Mo Han instinctively tried to decline, “This is too valuable…”

Wang Chen forcefully placed it in his hand, “There’s no need to be polite, fellow Daoist!”

Mo Han wasn’t truly resistant, and after some polite refusals, he accepted it with delighted surprise.

He had his own motives for recommending Wang Chen to the alliance, but he hadn’t expected Wang Chen to be so courteous, and the Qi Nurturing Pills were exactly the kind of cultivation resource he needed. Gratitude formed in his heart.

After seeing Mo Han off, Wang Chen called over Hu Jiaojiao, who was scurrying about their new home.

He inquired about what had happened earlier in the Green Cloud Palace.

In the main hall of the Green Cloud Palace, Hu Jiaojiao had sensed the presence of the Mysterious Fox Order, but the perception was very faint and couldn’t precisely locate it, seemingly interfered by something.

Furthermore, the Green Cloud Palace had given Hu Jiaojiao a significant sense of threat, preventing her from making any rash moves!

“Hmm.”

Wang Chen nodded.

He too had felt the unfathomable depth of the Green Cloud Palace, a palace built upon the peak, not only majestic and impressive but also containing an immense force, like a dormant beast that, once awakened, would unleash a dreadful power!

Wang Chen suspected that there was a special array set up inside the Green Cloud Palace.

He had asked Elder Yao about this, however, Elder Yao claimed he hadn’t been to the Green Cloud Palace for over two hundred years and didn’t want to mislead Wang Chen with unfounded talk. Yet, this Nascent Soul True Immortal also felt that the Green Cloud Palace was not a place where he could act recklessly.

Using force to find the Mysterious Fox Order was certainly not a viable option!

Wang Chen discussed with Hu Jiaojiao and decided to settle down in the Hidden Cottage for now, then slowly uncover the secrets of the Green Cloud Palace.

To ultimately retrieve the Mysterious Fox Order!
