Chaos Dao Sheng Jue

Chapter 1399 Obtaining Qualification

"Thank you, Chief!" Lu Chen and Pei Hu both showed joy upon hearing this.

The Great Wilderness leader nodded slightly, his gaze shifting from Pei Hu to Lu Chen. He then took out a jade slip and began to use his divine energy to inscribe it.

"This old guy has such strong cultivation; I reckon he's at least a cultivator at the Dao Cultivation Realm." Lu Chen thought to himself, secretly shocked as he sensed the aura emanating from the Great Wilderness leader.

He really wanted to ask the Great Wilderness leader what Dao Shaping was and how to quickly complete it, but when he thought that the old man was not an easy person to talk to, he gave up the idea.

In the brief moment Lu Chen was stunned, the leader of the Great Wilderness had already finished inscribing the jade slip and then tossed it to Lu Chen, saying:

"This jade slip is a letter I wrote to the chief of the Dazhu tribe. Take the jade slip to the Dazhu tribe and give it to their chief. The chief of the Dazhu tribe will then arrange the Jiyuan Mountain trial for you."

Lu Chen accepted the jade slip, feeling the gentle energy emanating from it, and his heart surged with excitement. He knew this was not only an opportunity, but also an act of trust. "Thank you for the jade, Senior. I will certainly live up to your expectations."

Then, Lu Chen and Pei Hu left the residence of the Great Wilderness Chief.

After leaving, Lu Chen cupped his hands in gratitude and said, "Brother Pei, I owe you so much this time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to participate in the Jiyuan Mountain Trial, and you would have wasted a favor owed by a leader. I really don't know how to thank you enough."

By the way, who is this "Little Wu" the leader mentioned?

“Brother Lu, you flatter me. Since you treat me as a brother, I am naturally willing to treat you sincerely. As for Xiao Wu, she is the leader’s daughter. A few years ago… well… let’s not talk about her.”

This trial is no small matter; you need to be fully prepared. Although I've done my best to secure a spot for you, everything from now on depends on you.

"What did you just say about Xiao Wu? Why did you suddenly stop? I'm curious about what happened between you two," Lu Chen asked curiously.

"It's nothing really. You should go to the Dazhu tribe first. Time is tight, and I'm worried you won't make it in time." Pei Hu seemed unwilling to talk about Xiao Wu and quickly changed the subject.

"These two are definitely having an affair," Lu Chen thought to himself, but said aloud, "Alright, then I'll take my leave. See you at Mount Jiyuan."

Next, Lu Chen took the map jade slip provided by Pei Hu and flew towards the Dazhu tribe.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to the twenty-odd tribes, there are also five divine sects in Nanman County. According to Lu Chen's understanding, there are vast territories outside Nanman County. Therefore, Lu Chen's plan is to first complete the Jiyuan Mountain Trial and see if he can complete the Dao Shaping. At that time, no matter what the result is, he will leave Nanman County.

The Dazhu tribe is about 400 kilometers away from the Dahuang tribe. Lu Chen only spent half an hour flying to the entrance of the Dazhu tribe.

The guards at the gate did not make things difficult for Lu Chen. After learning of Lu Chen's purpose, one of their servants led him to the residence of the chief of the Dazhu tribe.

Although it was called a mansion, it was actually just a courtyard. Whether it was due to a lack of resources or the popularity of solitary cultivation, the dwellings of the gods were all very simple.

Standing in front of the door, Lu Chen straightened his clothes and then knocked on the door.

"Come in." A steady voice came from inside.

Pushing open the door, Lu Chen stepped inside and saw a burly, middle-aged cultivator with piercing eyes scrutinizing him from head to toe, exuding an aura of authority without anger.

"Junior Lu Chen greets the chief," Lu Chen bowed respectfully, then continued, "Junior has come for a spot in the Jiyuan Mountain Tribe ...

After speaking, Lu Chen took out a jade slip and used his divine sense to control it to fly to the middle-aged cultivator.

The chief took the jade slip, examined it carefully, and then slowly said, "Indeed, it is Old Man Chen's handwritten letter. In that case, you can stay in the tribe for now, and come with us to Mount Jiyuan in a few days."

However, these trial slots aren't given away for free; you must abide by our rules. If you're unwilling, then please leave!

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen's heart tightened. He had finally come this far, how could he give up so easily? So he cupped his hands and respectfully asked, "May I ask what the rules are, senior?"

The Otake chieftain continued:

"As for the rule, you must hand over 70% of everything you obtain during the Jiyuan Mountain Trial to us."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen felt a chill run down his spine, but his face remained impassive.

He deliberately frowned, appearing quite hesitant. "This...this condition seems a bit harsh," he said, feigning difficulty. "After all, the path of trials is full of uncertainties. If I hand over 70%, I'm afraid I won't be able to maintain my cultivation."

Seeing this, the leader smiled slightly: "Young man, you should understand that there is no gain without pain. The opportunity we are offering is itself a huge help. If you feel you cannot accept it, then please leave."

Lu Chen remained silent for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons. In reality, he sneered inwardly. Although the other party's demands were harsh, he had the Golden Pearl World, so even if he cheated, the other party wouldn't be able to find out. However, he couldn't agree too quickly, lest the other party become suspicious.

Finally, Lu Chen nodded with feigned helplessness: "Alright, I agree to your request."

Seeing this, the leader nodded in satisfaction: "Very good. Since you agree, then we will act according to the agreement. Remember, once you enter Mount Jiyuan, you must keep your promise in mind, otherwise the consequences will be beyond your ability to bear."

"This junior dares not," Lu Chen said respectfully again.

Seeing that Lu Chen was quite sensible, the leader of Dazhu nodded in satisfaction and let him leave first.

Next, Lu Chen followed a servant and flew through the air to a deserted cave. The place was remote, and it was obvious to anyone with eyes that the servant did not welcome him, but Lu Chen did not care.

"As instructed by the chief, you will stay here for now. We will meet at the entrance of the tribe in three days and head to Mount Jiyuan together. I hope you can rest well during this time and not wander around unnecessarily," the attendant said politely.

"Don't worry, I know the rules. Thank you for your help." Lu Chen replied with a cupped hand.

After seeing the servant off, Lu Chen flew into the cave and set up a simple defensive formation at the entrance.

After doing all this, Lu Chen took out a bed from his storage ring, then sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.

Lacking divine crystals, Lu Chen could only absorb the meager divine energy between heaven and earth...

As time passed, three days quickly went by. Lu Chen arrived at the entrance of the Dazhu Tribe early in the morning to await departure…
