Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 359: Heading to the Jinglei Sect!

When Long Chen slowly opened his eyes, the sun had just risen. After a night of cultivation, his Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Formula had made significant progress. However, it would still take some time to break through to the Fourth Layer.

"Big Brother, how did your cultivation go?" Long Xin suddenly asked.

Hearing her voice, Long Chen looked over and saw her standing guard nearby, her bright, sparkling eyes fixed on him.

Long Chen smiled and responded, "It went well."

Long Xin brought over a plate of breakfast and gently handed it to him. "I’ve prepared breakfast for you. You should eat something."

"Okay." Long Chen nodded with a smile.

He had been so focused on his cultivation that he was completely unaware of his surroundings and hadn’t noticed what Long Xin had been doing.

At that moment, Tang Le walked over.

"Brother Long," he said, "I just saw many people setting out. They must be heading to the Jinglei Sect’s disciple assessment."

Hearing this, Long Chen opened a nearby window and glanced outside. Indeed, just as Tang Le had said, a large number of martial artists were all heading in the same direction. Long Chen followed their path with his eyes. That was the direction of the Jinglei Sect.

From the departing crowd, he could sense several powerful auras. It was clear that many experts intended to participate in the Jinglei Sect’s disciple assessment this time. The competition for the available spots was bound to be incredibly fierce.

After a few quick bites of breakfast, Long Chen said to Long Xin and Tang Le, "Get ready. It’s time for us to set off, too."

"Sure!"

"No problem!"

Long Xin and Tang Le replied in unison. After packing up, the three of them set out for the Jinglei Sect.

The sect wasn’t far, and in less than half a day, they arrived at the foot of the great mountain where it was located. Atop the mountain stood numerous majestic and imposing buildings. On a magnificent plaque, three characters were boldly engraved: Jinglei Sect!

The three of them began to climb the mountain.

Along the way, they felt an extremely rich spiritual energy that was refreshing to the soul and invigorated their spirits.

Long Xin took a deep breath of the air here. "I never expected the Jinglei Sect’s location to be this good," she couldn’t help but remark, feeling comfortable and content.

"You have to remember, the Jinglei Sect used to be a major sect," Tang Le responded. "So it’s only natural that the location it occupies is exceptional."

Hearing this, Long Xin nodded in agreement. "That’s true."

Long Chen remained silent, his eyes scanning the surroundings.

I hope I can find some clues to the Guiyuan Treasure Technique here. It would be best if I could completely restore it. Doing so would finally put one of my worries to rest. I believe that if Feng Ziyuan were still alive to see it, he would be absolutely thrilled.

「The Gates of the Jinglei Sect」

When Long Chen, Long Xin, and Tang Le arrived, the area was already packed with people. Everyone was waiting for the Jinglei Sect to make an announcement.

"Finally, the day is here!"

"During the assessment, I have to give it my all and strive for a good rank!"

"Once I get into the Jinglei Sect, I’ll have access to so many more Cultivation Resources!"

Everyone present was eager to pass the disciple assessment, their hearts stirring with excitement.

"There are more than five times the people here than there were at the inn yesterday. I had no idea so many would come for the Jinglei Sect’s disciple assessment," Long Xin remarked, shaking her head with a smile as she took in the scene.

"Whether it’s in the God-Devil Domain or elsewhere, strength is always what’s revered," Long Chen explained. "Of course, besides strength, a person’s background is also highly valued. Even for those prodigies with immense personal strength, there’s always someone better, and always a higher mountain to climb. There are plenty of people stronger than them.

"But, once you have a powerful background and a faction supporting you, you can secure many things for yourself even if your own strength is lacking, as long as your backing is intimidating enough. This is what gives a person confidence. So now that the Jinglei Sect is holding a rare recruitment for new disciples, every major family and rogue cultivator is eager to seize this opportunity to join."

After hearing Long Chen’s words, Tang Le nodded in agreement. "You’re right. That’s the reality of the world."

Just as they were talking, a harsh shout came from the distance. "Out of the way!"

"Young Master Zhang is here! All you riffraff, get the hell out of the way!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of those present changed slightly.

"Quick! Get to the side!"

"Young Master Zhang is here! We can’t afford to offend him! Definitely can’t!"

The crowd hurriedly parted, clearing a path down the middle. Under everyone’s gaze, a procession slowly appeared. Four men carried a sedan chair on their shoulders. Through the window, a refined Zhang Cangsong could be seen sitting inside, waving a fan. He projected the air of a scholar.

With their arrival, the atmosphere became tense. The previous clamor died down, replaced by a heavy silence. All eyes were fixed on Zhang Cangsong and his entourage.

Just moments ago, many had been brimming with confidence, boldly vowing to achieve a high rank in the assessment. But now, in the presence of Zhang Cangsong, they were struck dumb, not daring to utter a single word.

Who here didn’t know the name Zhang Cangsong? The star prodigy of the Zhang Family! In this assessment, he was guaranteed to pass with overwhelming dominance. At such a young age, he had already reached the War King Realm Second Level, and it was rumored he had broken through to the War King Realm Third Level just yesterday! Such talent was enough to stun the crowd.

At this moment, no one dared to provoke Zhang Cangsong. To do so would be courting death.

"I was wondering who it was. Turns out it’s that show-off again," Long Xin muttered with disdain upon recognizing Zhang Cangsong in the sedan. "What rotten luck to run into him here."

Hearing Long Xin’s words, Tang Le couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

In the dead silence, Tang Le’s laughter was particularly jarring. Instantly, numerous gazes snapped to focus on him.

Tang Le paid their stares no mind, continuing to chuckle as if they didn’t exist. Long Chen likewise remained perfectly calm, as if nothing were amiss.

Just as he stepped out of the sedan, Zhang Cangsong’s brow furrowed. His hearing was exceptionally sharp. Although Long Xin had only been muttering, her words reached his ears with perfect clarity.

He turned his head, his cold gaze instantly locking onto Long Chen’s group.
