Chapter 1576: Chapter 1596: A Gathering Once Every Hundred Years, Divine Flame Martial Arts Competition_1

Nightfall.

In the bedroom, Chu Jiaxue’s moans filled the room, continuing for a long time with brief pauses in between, starting and stopping.

Like that, they toiled through half the night until eventually, the two calmed down.

The longing as intense as a volcano was finally completely released in these passionate encounters.

Finally, there was complete silence.

"So you’re not only the heir of the Heavenly Sword but also the junior martial uncle of the White Crane Immortal Sect and the new Pill King..."

Lin Chen laughed, "Yes, for the past five years, all I’ve been doing is refining pills, refining pills, refining more pills, almost drove me crazy."

Chu Jiaxue, leaning on Lin Chen’s chest, looking up at his face, said: "You’re quite impressive. I originally thought that I’ve made significant progress over the years but didn’t expect your progress to be even greater. In the human world, the Barren Wilderness, and the Immortal Realm, you’re amazing wherever you go!"

Lin Chen smiled, "I’ve always had rather good luck, as you know."

Chu Jiaxue suddenly laughed, "It seems we’ve had similar conversations before..."

When Lin Chen thought about it, it seemed to be true.

Similar conversations had taken place before. There was a feeling of déjà vu.

"I was quite worried before I came that you weren’t doing well. Hearing the gatekeeper disciples worshipping you, I was pleasantly surprised..."

Chu Jiaxue laughed, "Did you give them presents? Why were they so enthusiastic about you?"

Lin Chen replied, "Just an Appearance Preserving Pill."

Chu Jiaxue chuckled, "You’re very generous."

Lin Chen laughed, "This time I came prepared. We need to let others know that you’re not alone – you have support. But looking at your current situation, you’re doing quite well on your own. You’re almost the future star of the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace."

Chu Jiaxue teased, "I’m not like you. I still have to greet the sect master properly. However, when your sect master sees you, he has to greet you and call you junior martial uncle..."

After a pause, Chu Jiaxue asked, "How long can you stay this time?"

Lin Chen replied, "As long as I want, I’m not in a hurry."

Chu Jiaxue softly asked, "The matter of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, do you want to see the sect master?"

Lin Chen shook his head, "I’ve heard that the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace is rather neutral. This isn’t an easy subject to bring up. It would be better not to discuss it all. You just need to be aware of it, and if you notice anything wrong in the future, you should distance yourself from danger immediately. Nothing else matters."

Chu Jiaxue nodded, "I understand. The Ten Thousand Flowers Palace doesn’t usually meddle in outside affairs. Probably they won’t take it seriously even if you talk about it. If anything changes in the future, I’ll be careful."

Lin Chen nodded, "Since you’re a focus of the sect’s cultivation, if there’s any movement in the sect, the sect elders should let you know somewhat. It shouldn’t completely blindside you."

Chu Jiaxue suddenly remembered something, "Oh, right, the sect will be participating in the Divine Flame Martial Arts Competition soon. Although my strength isn’t very high, I’ve made rapid progress in recent years, so I’ve been given a spot. If you’re not in a hurry, why not come with me to watch?"

Lin Chen inquired, "The Divine Flame Martial Arts Competition, what’s that?"

Chu Jiaxue explained, "It’s essentially a martial arts competition to show off the sect’s strength and decide the sect’s ranking. The fight for a spot in the top eight is the most fierce. Our Ten Thousand Flowers Palace happens to be ranked eighth. So, usually, if someone wants to enter the top eight, they challenge us first. According to the rules, if they win the challenge, they can replace us and become the eighth of the major forces."

Lin Chen asked in surprise, "Ranking of the sects, doesn’t that mean the strongest people in the sect have to fight?"

Chu Jiaxue nodded, "Yes, it’s necessary to hold down the fort, otherwise, wouldn’t it be unfair if we lost? However, the Divine Flame Martial Arts Competition is held once every hundred years. The time may seem long, but for cultivators, it isn’t. A sect’s strength usually doesn’t change significantly, so top-notch powerhouses rarely decide the ranking through fighting. It’s mostly an exchange of ideas between younger disciples."

Lin Chen understood. After all, advancing to the Celestial Immortal Stage wasn’t an easy task. It could take thousands or tens of thousands of years. In a hundred years’ time, the probability of a significant change in the strength of a sect’s top powerhouses isn’t high, so the chance of a fight occurring is small. Those who could fight probably have already fought.

Without a significant increase in strength due to advancement, who would have the courage to challenge and disrupt the existing ranking?

Lin Chen laughed, "The Ten Thousand Flowers Palace is all women. As the only man among you, wouldn’t it be a little awkward?"

Chu Jiaxue confidently replied, "Our relationship is clear and above board. It’s not something that can’t stand the light. As soon as we tell them, naturally, no one will mind. Although the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace is all female disciples, there’s no rule that forbids marriage. Besides, you’re Su Shaoling’s disciple. Just by virtue of this status, who wouldn’t give you some face?"

Lin Chen replied, "Alright then. A gathering of top powerhouses is a rare spectacle in a hundred years. Since I’m lucky enough to be here, I have to witness it. If there’re top powerhouses challenging, it would be a shame not to watch closely."
