Overriding the Heaven

Previously, Chu Yan had only released Xiao Tangtang from the echo loop a few times, so Handsome already knew that Chu Yan had a mystical storage treasure that could be used to store living things.    

This kind of treasure was extremely rare. Although handsome people were demon beasts, they knew about it as compared to cultivators like Chu Yan.    

Hence, it was very curious. It had always wanted to go into the echo loop s to have a look and see what it looked like with its own eyes.    

But Chu Yan never agreed to it.    

This was something that handsome people would never forget.    

Looking at the ball of air, he humphed a few times, then went over to Xiao Tangtang's side and found a comfortable position, he fell down once again and went back to sleep.    

At the same time, Chu Yan persevered and entered the time and space cage.    

This time, against the nether fire, Chu Yan felt extremely weak.    

He felt as if all his blood and Qi had been sucked out of him. Even if his physique was amazing, he would still need some time to recover.    

Chu Yan was worried that it would take too long, hence he chose to enter the time and space cage.    

After entering the time and space cage, Chu Yan practically did not move an inch. Leaning on the door, he immediately fell on the ground, and instantly fell into a deep sleep.    

In fact, his prediction was correct.    

He slept for two whole days.    

After waking up, Chu Yan felt that his body had finally regained its vitality.    

Thus, he hurriedly returned to the estate in reality.    

Two days had passed in the spacetime cage, but only half a day had passed in the real world.    

Chu Yan had returned yesterday evening, so the so-called two days of lethargy were only spent in the real world. It was the entire night yesterday and this morning.    

It was just past noon and upon seeing Chu Yan return, his complexion had already returned to normal. He only calmed down after he shot him a handsome glance.    

Xiao Tangtang leaned on Chu Yan, and continuously licked his hands, expressing her concern.    

"Last night, did you know that you looked as if you were about to die?" Handsome laid on the ground lazily, looking at Chu Yan, "What are you doing? It's like you've been sucked dry."    

"I tried nether fire." Chu Yan said indifferently.    

"nether fire... nether fire... Why does it sound so familiar? " Handsome rolled his eyes, and suddenly, he raised himself five to six feet into the air, staring at Chu Yan with wide eyes, he cried out involuntarily, "Are you preparing to go to the Thousand Goblins Graveyard? Do you know where the Thousand Demonic Graveyard is? "    

"For the time being, I don't know. But I will have a chance to see it in the future." Right now the matter had not been settled, so Chu Yan was not willing to explain too much. He turned to handsomely and asked: "When I was not around, did anyone come to look for me?"    

"Yes, yes! Several! " Handsome quickly nodded his head.    

"Several?" Chu Yan focused his gaze, "Who's there?"    

"Those who drank with you that day, I remember their names." "The first person who came to look for you was that person called Xu Ya. Then, Su Jianyuan, Jiang Panmeng, Li Xiu … the closest one was that tall and skinny guy called Fan Cheng.    

After finishing his sentence, Handsome blinked. "It seems like they're all quite anxious. Is something the matter?"    

Chu Yan muttered to himself for a bit: "I guess what it is, you guys stay at home, I'll go out and see them, and come back tonight."    

"Bring some food when you come back tonight!" Handsome immediately said.    

Seeing Chu Yan's gaze on him, the handsome man quickly said: "I'm speaking for TangTang! "I swear!"    

"Alright." Chu Yan acknowledged, and turned to leave.    

Chu Yan had already roughly guessed the reason why Su Jianyuan and the others were looking for him.    

Because one of Su Jianyuan's Sword Pavilion was on the way to the Star Refinement Valley, Chu Yan went straight to find him.    

Sure enough, it was as Chu Yan had expected. It was six days later when Su Jianyuan went to find Chu Yan in the Sky Han City Ruins Qualification Competition.    

"Junior Chu, you're quite calm. Right now, the news of this has already spread far and wide among the outer sect disciples." Su Jianyuan said to Chu Yan: "More than four thousand people, stealing nine spots is about one in five chances. Aren't you anxious at all?"    

"Nope." Chu Yan laughed and shook his head, "Senior brother Su, have you forgotten? As I said before, the nine spots are not for the strong, but for the three at the initial stage of Second Level of Pulse Condensation Stage, three at mastery and three at mastery."    

"But we must fight, when compared to the outer disciples, the outer disciples are like hidden dragons and crouching tigers." Su Jianyuan sighed.    

Although he said this, his face didn't show much frustration.    

It was very obvious that Su Jianyuan was still very confident in his own strength.    

Chu Yan was also muttering to himself.    

After hearing Su Jianyuan's explanation earlier, he already knew the specific rules of the competition.    

Six days later, each outer sect disciple participating in the selection competition would each carry a jade token.    

However, there were only nine jade plates that were truly effective.    

After all the disciples had entered the ruins of Tianhan City, the nine jade plates would release a beam of light every hour.    

At that time, all the outer sect disciples would use these pillars of light to find the disciples who possessed these jade tokens, and then fight over them.    

The competition lasted one day and one night.    

At the end of the competition, disciples with jade medallions would be able to represent Shattered Star Pavilion and participate in this competition.    

These rules were not unusual at all. After all, the ones chosen by the Shattered Star Pavilion would definitely be the best of the outer sect disciples.    

However, there was one rule that was specially pointed out.    

The rule was: High level disciples were not allowed to snatch the jade medallion from low level disciples.    

In other words, disciples who had reached the Great Circle of the Second Level of Pulse Condensation Stage could not snatch the jade tablet from the second stage and the second stage and the early stage disciples who had mastered the Second Level of Pulse Condensation Stage could not snatch the jade tablet from the second stage and early stage disciples.    

Ordinary people wouldn't think that it was a problem after hearing this rule.    

This was because Shattered Star Pavilion needed this rule in order to choose three out of the three disciples of the initial stage, mastery stage, and perfection stage.    

Otherwise, if a disciple at the peak of the second level would rely on his cultivation base to snatch the jade medallion from a disciple of the other two levels, then there would be nothing for the disciples of the other two realms.    

However, Chu Yan discovered the hidden message within the rule.    

"High-ranked disciples are not allowed to snatch low-ranked disciples. However, it is not said that low-ranked disciples are not allowed to snatch high-ranked disciples." Chu Yan muttered in his heart as he raised his head to look at Su Jianyuan.    

Su Jianyuan and Chu Yan happened to be looking at them.    

Instantly, the two of them revealed a smile of tacit understanding.    

"Junior Chu, it seems that we are thinking of the same thing." Su Jianyuan laughed, "And I bet Senior Brother Li Xiu thinks the same. I even suspect that Elder Tang gave him a death command: He must defeat an adult Second Level of Pulse Condensation Stage disciple and snatch a jade tablet, if not, I will not acknowledge his result."    

Su Jianyuan was gloating while laughing. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed as he said, "Crap, there's something I'm too busy being happy about that I forgot to tell you, Junior Brother Chu."
