Chapter 191 The Ceremony Begins

The canonization ceremony began.

Lin Chen didn't understand the rules of the Xianling race.

So he was like a puppet, manipulated by others. What he couldn't understand was that several female Xianling were responsible for helping him tidy up his clothes. And wasn't this supposed to be Ji Wei's canonization ceremony?

Then why…

Did he have to sit with Ji Wei?

Was the Xianling race so hospitable?

He'd never heard of it!

Many Xianling even held water taken from the Xianling Holy Spring and sprinkled it on him and Ji Wei. This was the water of the Holy Spring! Lin Chen had heard that drinking it had an effect similar to the Elven race's All-Spirit Fruit.

It was just that the effect wasn't as strong as the All-Spirit Fruit.

But it could still give Lin Chen some experience points and soul experience.

So…

The Holy Spring water couldn't be wasted.

Even though others sprinkled it, the Holy Spring water eventually gathered in the cups in front of Lin Chen and Ji Wei.

After almost everyone had given their blessings, the national leader, Li Xuanzong, was the last to come forward. Someone brought a ribbon over, and Lin Chen held one end.

Then…

Ji Wei held the other end?

Lin Chen was completely dumbfounded!

Crap.

Was he being tricked by his master?

Was this ceremony really just for canonizing the Holy Maiden?

He finally realized.

However, the national leader, Li Xuanzong, only said a few words of blessing. He didn't mention anything else. Ji Wei's ears were red, and she didn't dare to look at Lin Chen, but she was as happy as if she'd eaten honey…

Lin Chen thought about it and could only continue to play dumb.

I don't know anything!

And I won't admit anything!

Anyway, I'm just here to attend the canonization ceremony.

Don't expect me to take responsibility later!

That's it.

So, the canonization ceremony ended smoothly.

Lin Chen immediately said, "Master, has the battlefield passage opened? I'll go get Ni Chang and head to the Human race to help them take down the stronghold."

"Yes!"

Zhang Tianwei said loudly, "In the first battle, we must occupy our planned territories according to the prior agreement, but we must be careful of other races snatching them… The Dragon Spirit Kingdom entered the battlefield 12 hours early. If everything goes well, they should have completed their objective. If not, they should already be at war. We should indeed go in too."

"Since the Imperial Son-in-Law is in such a hurry, the army will set off immediately! I wish the Xianling race's army invulnerable and victorious in the battlefield!" Li Xuanzong issued the order.

Then Lin Chen tore open the void and went to the Lundao Pavilion.

He discovered that Sun Lingming was gone.

So Lin Chen asked, "Where's Second Senior Brother?"

"Master sent him to the Imperial battlefield as a freelancer to support the Dragon Spirit Kingdom first," A'Niu immediately replied.

So that's how it was…

Lin Chen had been a little worried about whether the Human race could complete their established goal.

Now he wasn't worried.

Because… Sun Lingming had gone.

"Wait, there are freelancers on the Imperial battlefield?" Lin Chen asked, puzzled.

What did "freelancer" mean?

"Independent cultivators can all be freelancers. There are no rules. They can enter whenever they want and help whoever they want," A'Niu explained.

Lin Chen understood.

So even independent cultivators without a country or faction could participate in the Level 3 battlefield!

Then the Level 3 battlefield would be very interesting!

It felt like…

There were more ways to play.

He woke up Jian Ni Chang and asked, "What have you learned these past few days?"

"I haven't learned anything… Sword Master, am I stupid? I can't comprehend 'One Sword Divine Spirit Kneels' no matter what," Jian Ni Chang replied, a little discouraged.

Damn it!

One Sword Divine Spirit Kneels?

This name…

Was a bit awesome!

"Let me see."

Lin Chen's soul perception entered the book.

Good heavens!

The first thing he saw were four big words: Profound Gate Immortal Art!

Ah, this…

No wonder Jian Ni Chang couldn't comprehend it after three days and two nights.

"This isn't something you can learn. Even I, your Sword Master, can't learn it, so don't even think about it!" Lin Chen said. It wasn't that Jian Ni Chang's talent was lacking, but that this girl was too reckless.

You dared to touch something like this for three days and two nights?

It was fortunate that you weren't backlashed by the technique and didn't suffer qi deviation!

But…

Profound Gate Immortal Art!

This move was very powerful.

It should be similar to the Myriad Swords Return to Void that he used when he borrowed the Taigu Sword Spirit's sword.

The key was that this sword was specifically for cutting the sea of souls!

Death God's One Slash was just a small skill in front of this skill.

"I'm a Sky Walker. Soul advancement gives me extra skill points every time. When I advanced to the early stage of God Envoy Realm, it gave me eighty skill points. The next time should be even more… When I advance to the middle stage, I'll come to Lundao Pavilion to learn this move!"

Lin Chen made up his mind.

Then, the more he looked at Jian Ni Chang, the more she felt like his lucky star.

First, she acted as a catalyst, allowing Lin Chen to inherit the Taigu Sword Heart and become a Sword Master.

Second, Jian Ni Chang could also help Lin Chen break through shackles and borrow the power of the Taigu Sword Spirit.

Finally, this girl could always bring Lin Chen some small surprises… For example, discovering this move, One Sword Divine Spirit Kneels.

Lin Chen calculated… Although the conditions for using this move were very harsh, if it was used, it might really be possible to slay a god!

He had to arrange it in the future!

Next, Lin Chen tore through the void with Jian Ni Chang and went to join the Xianling race's army.

This time, because it was a Level 3 battlefield, and Zhang Tianwei had solved the Li Dynasty's only hidden danger, the noble family clans, before the battlefield opened, Zhang Tianwei could now let go of state affairs and allow some of his Imperial College students to be promoted to help handle a portion of them. In this way, Zhang Tianwei was also liberated.

Therefore, he was now leading the army into the battlefield.

Compared to the Human race, the Xianling race's army was much stronger.

First of all, the middle army, with mainly first-rank realm and some second-rank below, reached 300,000!

This was twice that of the Human race!

Second-rank army, 200,000!

Also twice that of the Human race.

Third-rank army, 100,000!

Again, twice that of the Human race.

However, this time the Human race also gathered many second-rank and third-rank independent cultivators. After solving the problem of the nobles, these independent cultivators were liberated. They began to join the Imperial army and were training.

Talents such as formation masters also finally had a place to display their abilities.

The Level 3 battlefield, the Human race, the Elven race, and the Xianling race could be said to be participating with all their national strength.

Even the countries had resolved their domestic hidden dangers and reached a state of unity.

When Lin Chen passed through the portal and arrived at the Level 3 battlefield, he was shocked.

The mountains and rivers here were extremely magnificent, the world was incredibly vast, and he could even see the scenery of battles everywhere in the distance. The effects produced by the collision of those powers were like watching a fireworks show…

They were fighting fiercely!

Zhang Tianwei said in a deep voice, "It seems that we are the latest to arrive… Everyone, advance according to the established objective and capture Sanjiang City, which we have planned, and use this place as our Xianling Kingdom's main city!"

"Master, the Human race seems to still be fighting. I'll go support them first," Lin Chen said with a cold face.

The place Zhang Tianwei pointed to was Sanjiang City.

From a distance, it was already occupied by a race.

But it didn't seem very strong.

On the other hand, the Human race's territory, which formed a strategic alliance with Sanjiang City, had gun shadows and staff traces in the void from time to time. It should be that Long Yandao and Sun Lingming were fighting with people, and they were fighting fiercely…

Even with Long Yandao and Sun Lingming joining forces, they still couldn't win. What race was the enemy?

It seemed that the Human race had met a difficult opponent.

Lin Chen didn't hesitate any longer. He said goodbye to Zhang Tianwei and Ji Wei, then tore through the void, brought Jian Ni Chang with him, and directly descended on the battlefield.

Boom!

The void trembled, also attracting the attention of many Human race people.

But when Lin Chen appeared, everyone cheered.

"It's the Human King!"

"Great, the Human King has finally arrived!"

"Human King, look at the sky! Those Fallen Angels are too infuriating!"

"Longlin Army Commander Pang Jia reports to the Human King that we have already defeated the Fallen Angel middle army, but the enemy is stubbornly defending Yinglong City… Now the commander-in-chief has no time to take care of it. Please, Human King, order whether to attack strongly!"

As soon as Lin Chen arrived, he encountered a stalemate.

Moreover, the Human race's current opponent was actually the Fallen Angels!

This was a branch of the Angel race.

The Angel race was very powerful.

Moreover, there were many branches.

Each branch was equivalent to the scale of the Xianling Kingdom.

Archangel race.

Seraphim race.

Holy Angel race.

Dark Angel race.

Fallen Angel race.

Light Angel race…

These guys who were born with all kinds of wings on their backs were born strong.

Moreover, their development was mainly based on each race, and they did not carry out the great unification like the Elven race and the Xianling race. Naturally, there were no domestic conflicts, and they had been on the road of strong development.

Their strength was extremely powerful.

Looking at the Human race, there were dynastic changes and noble infighting.

The Xianling race was the same, but instead of nobles, it was the aristocratic families who were causing trouble.

The Elven race, on the other hand, had not yet achieved true unification. It had only united the various races, so there was a rebellion like the Sea Island Elven race.

Of course, there were more than just these three countries on Blue Star that were qualified for the Level 3 battlefield.

In fact, some countries had previously met the requirements of the Level 3 battlefield and had not been demoted, for example… the Mermaid Kingdom belonging to the Siren race.

Sirens were a huge race that could be compared to all terrestrial creatures. The term "Siren" was just a general term used by terrestrial races for marine creatures. Even if they were divided according to Sirens, there would be Sirens on other planets.

Therefore, no matter what level of Imperial battlefield, Sirens were indispensable.

Lin Chen had even heard that the Jiaoren race had already reached the Level 4 battlefield.

The Lantus Kingdom in Sirens had already gained a foothold in the Level 5 battlefield.

That was the highest level battlefield!

Because, according to some rumors, the Level 6 battlefields were all battles between divine races.

Very few mortal races could ascend to the Level 6 battlefield.

Lin Chen learned through communication with Pang Jia that these Fallen Angels had actually occupied at least five cities in the north. They were still expanding frantically, intending to take advantage of the fact that all races had not yet gained a foothold to occupy the entire northern part of the battlefield!

According to Zhang Tianwei and the Night Queen's discussions, the battlefields occupied by the three families were all in the central area and had already begun to be attacked by the Fallen Angels. Because the Fallen Angel race had too much territory and expanded too much, the troops occupying Yinglong City were not numerous.

But they were very strong!

They also had a third-rank legion of three thousand.

In addition, three peak third-rank Angel commanders had also arrived.

Currently, there were two Angel commanders fighting in the sky.

It seemed that their strength was not weak.

They could even stand undefeated against Sun Lingming for a long time!

Lin Chen looked at the void. He said in a deep voice, "What are our casualties?"

"Eight third-rank soldiers died, and 78 were injured!"

"896 second-rank soldiers died, and more than 3,000 were injured!"

"More than 8,000 soldiers in the middle army died…"

Hearing these numbers reported by the people below, Lin Chen's face was very cold.

Even soldiers with third-rank strength and a certain ability to protect themselves had died eight, and more than 8,000 had died in the middle army… This was only the first day of the war, and the casualties were too great!

They couldn't continue to die.

Otherwise, this would be a major blow to the Human race's confidence!

So Lin Chen made a decisive decision: "Next, the battlefield will be left to the high-end combat power to solve. As long as the top combat power on the opposite side is defeated, the Fallen Angels will definitely withdraw! The three armies will arrange their formations and stand by. Although they will not attack, they must not relax… In addition, bring two third-rank legions and charge with me!"

"Third-rank army, Longxiao Army Commander Lei Yin, follows the Human King's orders!"

Lei Yin actually came out.

Lin Chen was surprised and asked, "Aren't you in Tianyue City?"

"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, this time Tianyue City, under the call of Vice City Lord Xue Mo, has more than 30,000 people enlisting in the army. More than 300 people were selected to enter the battlefield. This subordinate was the Longxiao Army Commander conferred by the Gun King," Lei Yin replied.

Then, he brought Lin Chen a small surprise…

Lei Yin made way for him.

Then, a woman wearing Hulong Army armor, but with a graceful figure, appeared in front of Lin Chen.

"Meng Yao?"

Lin Chen was overjoyed and even surprised, "High Priest, why are you here too?"

"I'm just a freelancer here to watch over her," Kong Yan's answer seemed to carry some helplessness…

There was no other way. Liu Mengyao strongly demanded to come to the battlefield, so she had to accompany her.

This was why Liu Mengyao was wearing the Hulong Army's armor, while Kong Yan was still dressed as the Guangming Sheng Nu race's High Priest.

It seemed that the Guangming Sheng Nu race was really careful, afraid of angering the gods again, so they didn't join any force. After all… the punishment that had lasted for thousands of years was enough to be etched in the hearts of every Guangming Sheng Nu race person!

"Meng Yao, you… you're also at the third-rank?" Lin Chen was very surprised.

In his memory, it seemed that the last time he saw Liu Mengyao in Tianyue City, she was only at the peak of the first-rank!

Liu Mengyao walked forward and leaned into Lin Chen's arms, saying, "After you left last time, I inherited the second stage God's Mind Controller Scepter and advanced to the second-rank… Hehe, the profession you gave me is really good. Now, I have inherited the third stage God's Mind Controller Scepter, so I'm at the third-rank!"

Although Liu Mengyao said it very easily,

only she knew how much she had paid in order to follow in Lin Chen's footsteps and come to the Level 3 battlefield by choosing to inherit the third stage God's Mind Controller Scepter… It was almost like offering a part of her soul!

In fact, there was now an extra person in her sea of souls.

A sleeping person!

However, that person seemed to be able to wake up at any time!

Don't worry, there won't be any abuse of the protagonist.

The female lead is also the protagonist.

But in order to make the female lead stronger, she had to take a shortcut, hehe…

The next update will still be around two o'clock!
