Beast Taming Tower

"Meet Uncle Qinghua!"

As soon as Chen Xuan entered, he saw Wang Qinghua standing with his hands behind his back, seemingly having been waiting for him for a long time.

This left Chen Xuan, who was already completely bewildered, even more puzzled.

"Junior Nephew Chen, you've finally arrived! This time, I have an important mission for you!"

Although Wang Qinghua spoke casually, Chen Xuan had a bad feeling that trouble was about to befall him.

“Just give the orders, Uncle Qinghua!” Chen Xuan said.

"Heh, you're not picky at all. Do you know why I summoned you here today?"

"I've been in seclusion these past few days. However, I've also heard about the challenge. Could it be that Martial Uncle Qinghua summoned me here this time because of the challenge?"

"Of course!"

Wang Qinghua nodded, then looked at Chen Xuan again.

"Not long ago, that old bastard Jian Chen issued a challenge to our Changsheng Immortal Sect. This has caused a great stir among the lower-level disciples of our Changsheng Immortal Sect!"

"If we avoid battle, it will definitely affect the morale of the Longevity Immortal Sect!"

"If we fight, we will fall into Jian Chen's trap."

"So, after much discussion, we still plan to send people to participate in the war. All we can do is focus our efforts on those who will participate!"

After listening to Wang Qinghua's long explanation, Chen Xuan understood perfectly well that this was a ploy to get him involved in the battle of geniuses.

"Uncle-Master, do you mean I should also participate in this Battle of Geniuses?"

"That's right. But don't worry, Junior Nephew Chen, we've limited the cultivation level of the True Immortals participating in this Battle of Geniuses to below the late-stage Celestial Immortal realm. With your combat strength, Junior Nephew Chen, as long as you're careful, there definitely won't be any problems!"

Wang Qinghua had complete confidence in Chen Xuan.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Uncle Qinghua, you really overestimate me. I believe the Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect will also send its elite forces to participate in this battle of geniuses."

"If I were to join the war, I'm afraid I would easily become a target."

Chen Xuan said with a wry smile.

Seeing Chen Xuan's reluctance, Wang Qinghua immediately laughed and said, "I know you, you never act until you see a clear benefit!"

"Therefore, I will not make things difficult for you. If you are truly unwilling, then so be it. In any case, this battle of geniuses will be held at the Heavenly Sea Pavilion."

When Chen Xuan heard this, his eyes lit up.

Tianhai Water Pavilion!

This is a relic from the ancient realm of true immortals.

It is also a notoriously dangerous place in the Tianmeng Mountains.

It is said that many powerful ancient monsters have survived to this day in the Heavenly Sea Pavilion.

Furthermore, there are even quite a few immortal cave dwellings.

If the true immortals who enter are lucky, they may also have other opportunities.

Moreover, the Heavenly Sea Pavilion is not open at all times.

If Chen Xuan had missed this opportunity to enter the Heavenly Sea Pavilion, he didn't know when he would have such a chance again.

"The Heavenly Sea Pavilion? If so, I will naturally participate in this battle of geniuses!" Chen Xuan quickly changed his mind.

Wang Qinghua smiled with satisfaction: "I knew you wouldn't refuse. But you'd better be prepared. This battle of geniuses won't be easy!"

"Once you enter the Heavenly Sea Pavilion, whether you act alone or join forces with others, you must be extra careful!"

"Never completely trust anyone, understand?"

Upon hearing Wang Qinghua's words, Chen Xuan's expression immediately turned serious.

He knew very well that in a completely unfamiliar place, the morality that originally restricted true immortals would completely fail.

Even fellow disciples might commit murder and robbery for rare and precious treasures.

Chen Xuan certainly didn't want to become someone else's victim without even realizing it.

"Don't worry, Uncle Qinghua, I know what I'm doing!" Chen Xuan said.

"Well, you wait here for now. The others will arrive soon. I will personally escort you to the entrance of the Heavenly Sea Pavilion!" Wang Qinghua said.

"Yes, uncle!"

Chen Xuan agreed and immediately found a place to sit cross-legged and close his eyes to rest.

A moment later, Chen Xuan saw two familiar figures appear at the same time.

It was Fei Yun and Nangong Wanrong.

Upon seeing Chen Xuan, who was also there, Fei Yun was initially delighted, but a solemn expression quickly followed.

"Junior Brother Chen, what are you doing here?"

"Senior Brother Fei, why can't I be here?"

Chen Xuan smiled and asked in return.

"Ahem, what I mean is, why do you want to participate in this battle of geniuses? Is someone forcing you? If so, come on over, and I'll stand up for you!" Fei Yun said.

Chen Xuan laughed heartily and explained his situation in detail to Fei Yun and Nangong Wanrong. Fei Yun then gave a dry laugh.

"Since it was Uncle-Master Qinghua's decision, then I'll pretend I said nothing. However, the fact that the venue for the Battle of Geniuses was chosen to be the Heavenly Sea Pavilion is rather unexpected!" Fei Yun said with a smile.

Nangong Wanrong nodded in agreement: "I thought it was just a matter of finding a random place for us to have a match with the other side."

"If the battle of geniuses is to be held in the Heavenly Sea Pavilion, we'd better be careful!"

"After all, the Heavenly Sea Pavilion itself poses a great threat. Entering it would be quite dangerous for us!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's expression immediately turned curious.

He quickly asked the two of them about the Tianhai Water Pavilion.

Nangong Wanrong and Fei Yunye spoke frankly and without reservation.

He even gave Chen Xuan copies of some jade slips containing information about the Heavenly Sea Pavilion that he had on hand.

After Chen Xuan read through it carefully, he finally had a general understanding of the Heavenly Sea Pavilion.

"Although the Tianhai Pavilion is not large, it seems to be a relic of an ancient immortal realm. If that's the case, we might gain something else if we enter it," Chen Xuan said with an expectant smile.

"Haha, Junior Brother Chen, I'm afraid you're the only one among the fellow cultivators participating in the Battle of Geniuses who would think this way," Fei Yun laughed.

Chen Xuan gave an awkward smile and said nothing more.

Fei Yun, however, quickly said, "Junior Brother Chen, there's no rule against us traveling in groups during this Genius Battle. In that case, why don't the three of us team up?"

Before Chen Xuan could speak, Nangong Wanrong quickly said, "I have no objection. What does Junior Brother Chen think?"

“I’m fine here. I’m just worried that once we enter the Heavenly Sea Pavilion, we’ll be randomly teleported away,” Chen Xuan said.

"That's quite possible. However, I have some positioning beads here that can pinpoint each other's location within a radius of tens of millions of miles. My two junior brothers, why don't you each take one?"

As Nangong Wanrong spoke, she took out three positioning sensor beads and gave one to Fei Yun and one to Chen Xuan.

After examining the positioning sensor bead with curiosity for a while, Chen Xuan finally put it away with satisfaction.

Meanwhile, other powerful individuals who participated in the battle of geniuses also arrived one after another.

Once everything was ready, Wang Qinghua immediately waved his hand.

He led Chen Xuan and the others away at high speed.

About an hour later, the group appeared at the mouth of a huge valley.

Before long, the Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect's Heavenly Vault Old Monster arrived as scheduled, leading a group of Heavenly Immortal Realm experts who were participating in the Battle of Geniuses.

Although the two sides have not yet officially started fighting, they are filled with malice towards each other.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Old Monster Tianqiong immediately coughed lightly.

"It's not time to make a move yet, so you'd better hold back. If you anger Senior Wang, you'll be in for a world of hurt!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect experts who were following the Heavenly Dome Old Monster all changed slightly.

Some of the bolder individuals even went so far as to secretly spy on Wang Qinghua using their divine sense.

Wang Qinghua didn't seem to care about this.

"Old Monster of the Sky Dome, now that everyone is here, let the battle of geniuses begin!"

Wang Qinghua scanned the participating experts from the Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect with his divine sense. After confirming that there were no problems, he spoke with a cold smile.

Upon hearing this, Old Monster Tianqiong naturally dared not refuse and quickly nodded, saying, "Since Senior Wang has said so, this junior can only agree."

"If that's the case, I would appreciate it if you could join me, senior, in activating the token to open the Heavenly Sea Pavilion!"

Wang Qinghua glared at the Old Monster of the Sky Dome with dissatisfaction.

"Do I really need you to remind me of this? Just do your job! If your Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect dares to play any tricks, don't blame me for being impolite!"

After making a threat, Wang Qinghua immediately stopped talking.

Soon, he and the old monster of the sky tacitly took out a palm-sized token and directly poured immortal power into it.

In the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, a buzzing sound began.

A huge concealment array suddenly appeared rapidly above the seemingly empty valley entrance.

This surprised Chen Xuan.

"What a powerful concealment formation! Just now, even after activating my divine sense and Heavenly Illusion Demon Eye, I couldn't detect anything!" Chen Xuan exclaimed inwardly.

At that moment, a huge crack on the array's light barrier rapidly contracted to both sides.

An entrance, several tens of feet in size, then appeared.

The old monster from the Heavenly Vault, whose cultivation level was relatively low, showed a pained expression at this moment.

Even her breathing became somewhat rapid.

Seeing that the genius of the Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect was still standing there, he immediately shouted and urged him repeatedly.

"What are you all standing there for? The entrance to the Heavenly Sea Pavilion has been opened. Why don't you hurry up and go inside?"

Upon hearing what the Old Monster Tianqiong said, all the experts from the Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect shot towards the entrance of the Heavenly Sea Pavilion.

Wang Qinghua's cultivation level was slightly higher than that of the Heavenly Vault Old Monster.

But soon, she also found herself struggling to keep up.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan and the others did not hesitate any longer and entered the entrance of the Heavenly Sea Pavilion.

Wow!

Chen Xuan took a step forward and appeared directly at the entrance.

Before he could react, an incredibly powerful force of spatial rules suddenly burst forth from the entrance, sweeping him away at lightning speed.

In that instant, Chen Xuan felt his body being uncontrollably swept up by the power of space, rapidly falling into an enormous space.

This situation lasted for about the time it takes to eat a meal before it quickly disappeared.

The vigilant Chen Xuan swiftly took control of his body.

Divine Sense and Heavenly Illusion Demon Eye were activated simultaneously.

He was shocked to discover that none of his fellow disciples from the Longevity Immortal Sect who had entered with him were present.

He himself seemed to be above a vast sea where the sky and water met.

"Is this the famous Heavenly Sea Pavilion? Such pure water attribute power!"

Chen Xuan sighed secretly.

Just as he was preparing to thoroughly investigate what exactly was in the Heavenly Sea Pavilion, a strong sense of crisis suddenly erupted from the depths of his heart.

This made Chen Xuan's expression extremely solemn.
