Chapter 495: The Holy Lord’s High Regard

In the outside world.

A faint blue light suddenly lit up in the empty teleportation array.

In the next moment, the disciples of the various halls who were far away in the trial ground were teleported back one by one.

Among the twenty-odd disciples who had not been eliminated, the most conspicuous one was Chen An, who held the flag and raised it above his head.

The disciples who had just come out of the trial grounds and could not see what had happened on the mountaintop through the projection looked at Chen An in the crowd in surprise.

Then, discussions quickly sounded.

“What’s going on? Who is this person? Why is he the champion?”

“He’s very unfamiliar, but he’s so handsome. Compared to him, the handsome male guards under the Hall Master of the Joy-Seeking Hall are like fireflies under the scorching sun.”

“I know this person. I’m from the same batch of disciples who joined the Holy Land as him. He’s now a Deacon in the Hundred Flowers Hall.”

“Isn’t the Hundred Flowers Hall already in dire straits? Would such a genius be willing to join there?”

“This year, the Hundred Flowers Hall is in charge of recruiting new students.

They most likely tricked them into joining.”

“I don’t think it’s a lie. It’s a seduction.”

“It’s not a loss to seduce him. The Deacon of the Hundred Flowers Hall who won the championship is so handsome. The Hall Master of the Hundred Flowers Hall is probably willing to throw himself at him.”

The content of the discussion was getting more and more ridiculous.

From the beginning, they were puzzled about who Chen An was, to why Chen An wanted to join the Hundred Flowers Hall, and finally, they were certain that Hua Xuanyin seduced Chen An and let him join the Hundred Flowers Hall.

Hearing these rumors, Hua Xuanyin’s blood pressure immediately soared.

She did not care about bullying the weak. She directly plunged into the group of people on the teleportation array and beat up the new disciples who had slandered her just now.

In an instant, screams that sounded like pigs being slaughtered sounded from the teleportation array.

Looking at the comical scene below, many upper echelons of the Holy Land on the high platform revealed disdain.

They all felt that Hua Xuanyin was just a childish child who could not grow up, and their hearts were filled with disdain and contempt for her.

Hua Xuanyin’s cultivation was at the bottom among the Hall Masters, and her temperament was also at the bottom.

This caused many people in the Holy Land to look down on her. They felt that she had connections and relied on her relationship with the Holy Lord to become the Hall Master.

The popularity she mentioned to Chen An previously referred to the unknown relationship between her and the Holy Lord.

The Hall Master of the Thousand Leaves Hall, Zhu Yange, was in the same situation as her.

Zhu Yege was also a well-connected person like her and was not liked by the other Hall Masters.

After all, which one of the Hall Masters was not an Immortal King?

Hua Xuanyin and Zhu Yange, this pair of enemies, were Quasi-Immortal Kings. They had simply lowered the level of the Hall Master.

On the other hand.

After knowing that Chen An was also a participant in the trial, the four people who had been teased by him on the mountaintop were shocked and angry.

Chen An was actually a trial competitor like them, but his physical strength far surpassed theirs.

They were angry that Chen An was playing with them like monkeys.

However, someone was even angrier than them.

That was Qu Jiaqing, who was originally ranked fourth on the rankings.

Her master had high hopes for her to win the Newcomer Trial.

In the end, before she could reach the top of the mountain, she was sent out of the trial ground by Chen An with a punch. This made her lose all her face and she could barely raise her head.

Compared to these angry people, the three people from the Thousand Leaves Hall were terrified.

When the three of them were in the trial grounds, they had gone to find trouble with Chen An and mocked him for a while.

Now, they were worried that Chen An would take revenge.

Facing everyone’s gazes, Chen An stood quietly in the crowd and waited for the trial rewards to arrive.

Not long after.

A woman flew out of the pavilion in the sky.

She was wearing a purple silk dress and a blue jade hairpin. She was beautiful and had a curvaceous figure. She was a rare beauty.

As soon as she appeared, she instantly attracted the gazes of all the men present.

Under the gazes of many men, the woman in the purple dress quickly descended gracefully from the sky and landed in front of Chen An with a smile.

This was one of the maids beside the Holy Lord. Her name was Ziyan.

“Hall Master Hua, stop after venting your anger. Don’t hurt these new disciples.”

After Ziyan landed, she did not talk to Chen An immediately. Instead, she looked at Hua Xuanyin, who was lecturing the disciples who had just started rumors not far away.

When Hua Xuanyin heard this, she stopped in time and turned to look fiercely at the disciples she had beaten up. She warned them fiercely: “If you dare to spread rumors about me again, I’ll torture you every time I see you in the future!”

“We won’t do it again. We won’t dare to do it again.”

Those disciples were afraid of her torture and admitted defeat one after another.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen An immediately realized that the purple-dressed woman in front of him had an extraordinary status. Even the noble Hall Master, Hua Xuanyin, had to listen to her.

“Deacon Chen, congratulations on winning the championship. There are twelve Primordial artifacts here. You can choose any one as the reward for winning the championship.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman in the purple dress shone the twelve Primordial artifacts that could only be chanced upon by luck for Chen An to choose from.

When the others saw so many Primordial artifacts, they were so shocked that their eyes widened.

Many people could not even stop the greed in their hearts. They wanted to take all twelve Primordial artifacts for themselves.

However, they only thought about it in their hearts and did not dare to show it.

After all, the woman in the purple dress was an Immortal King. She could kill everyone present except the Hall Master with a slap. She was very intimidating.

Chen An raised his head and looked at the twelve Primordial artifacts reflected in the sky. The description of whichever Primordial artifact his gaze landed on would appear in his mind.

He guessed that this was the supplementary method of the purple-dressed woman in front of him, so he did not dwell on it.

After understanding the uses of the twelve Primordial artifacts a moment later, he said respectfully to the purple-dressed woman,

“I choose the Nine Revolutions Soul Stele in the middle.”

The Nine Revolutions Soul Stele he was talking about was a palm-sized stone tablet.

The effect of this stone tablet was very heaven-defying. As long as one engraved their name on the stone tablet and placed it at home to worship, they could obtain the ability to revive nine times.

It could be simply understood as having nine more lives.

As for the remaining eleven artifacts, their effects were also very heaven-defying. However, they were only heaven-defying in terms of attack, defense, enlightenment, and other attributes. To him, they were far inferior to having nine more lives.

With the support of the Holy Father Palace and the Mother Goddess Palace, he did not lack opportunities to increase his strength at all. What he lacked was a margin for error.

“I really didn’t expect Deacon Chen to choose this Nine Revolutions Soul Stele. It seems that Deacon Chen is also a conservative cultivator who cherishes his life.”

With that, the woman in the purple dress took out the Nine Revolutions Soul Stele from her sea of consciousness and transferred it into Chen An’s sea of consciousness.

Chen An sensed the Nine Revolutions Stone Tablet in his sea of consciousness and felt a little excited.

“Deacon Chen, cultivate well. The Holy Lord thinks highly of you.”

The woman in the purple dress smiled and said this. The moment she finished speaking, she turned into starlight that filled the sky and dissipated.
