Chapter 756: Chapter 253: Two Seven-colored Entries, Isn’t That Too Extravagant?_4

“Yeah, really, you go first and tell me what’s up with your friend. Did he really get killed?”

“No, at the crucial moment, he exchanged places with his Void Refining Avatar that was thousands of miles away. It’s one of his entry techniques. What was obliterated was just his Void Refining Avatar.”

“Tsk, I remember that creating a Void Refining Avatar costs a lot, doesn’t it? You really are willing to pay the price.”

“No pain, no gain…”

The Sect Master of the Heavenly Axe Sect seemed a bit short on confidence, a trace of panic still visible deep in his eyes as he spoke in a hushed voice.

…

Soon—

Ten days had passed, and Chen Qiu’s unconscious state lasted much longer than anyone had expected. Xing Dou said he would be unconscious for about four or five days, but it was already the tenth day, and there was still no sign of Chen Qiu waking up.

During these ten days,

The Sect Master of the Heavenly Axe Sect had been constantly guarding outside the Heavenly Palace, never leaving for a moment.

He was now the highest battle force, even in Xuantian State he was the highest. A Body Cultivation expert skilled in combat, possessing treasures such as the Scarlet Giant Axe, and having mastered the Fourth Axe Secret Skill, his guarding here could be said to be absolutely safe.

And at this time, he glanced over at Fat Long and the others chatting not far away and took a careful breath of relief.

The drama of the extraterrestrial enemies was indeed his scheme.

But it was he who intentionally left flaws.

Otherwise, no matter how foolish, he would never make a fake fight that obvious. Yet, he dared not go too far, or it would seem suspicious. If he was in his former senior’s shoes, it would be easy to think,

“Are you waiting for your helper to take action? If sure that the predecessor doesn’t react, might as well rise to the occasion and play it for real.”

Once caught up in this line of thought,

Death would not be far away for him.

So this charade had to be clearly fake, fake enough for anyone to see through at a glance.

The reason for staging this drama was indeed to gain merit, and also to build enough entanglement with his senior. Most importantly, once the senior fell into a coma, he would be the one with the highest level of Cultivation. As a person with the peak of Void Refining Cultivation standing by, it was inevitable that Fat Long and the others would feel uneasy.

He needed a clumsy means to craft an image of a simpleton earnestly trying to make a mark.

Only by doing so,

Could he gain temporary trust and, under this guise, his ten days of guardianship would become a solid achievement. This short-lived trust would also completely transform into genuine trust after the senior felt calm and collected.

With this shift, would it be hard to follow his senior to the Third Grade Continent?

The Sect Master of the Heavenly Axe Sect carefully glanced at the senior lying inside the Heavenly Palace, then quickly averted his gaze, subsequently standing solemnly at the entrance of the Heavenly Palace on the left without moving an inch!

On the right side stood… the Young Clan Leader of the Brown Bears.

…

At this moment, the Young Clan Leader of the Brown Bears was facing him with an expressionless face, turning his head towards the Sect Master of the Heavenly Axe Sect. After a long silence, he eventually spoke in a hoarse voice, “Brother, is the competition for security guards really this fierce these days?”

“You also want to become a mascot for the Chao Tian Sect?”

“Haha.”

The Sect Master of the Heavenly Axe Sect laughed dryly and kept silent. There was no helping it; in this day and age, competition was everywhere, and he, too, wanted to try his hand at being a security guard.

“Sigh.”

Seeing that the Sect Master of the Heavenly Axe Sect had no interest in talking, the Young Clan Leader of the Brown Bears sighed and muttered, “The world really is chaotic, even those with the peak of Void Refining Cultivation are competing for security positions.”

Then he patted the stone lion behind him, pursed his lips, and remained silent.

During the days when the Chao Tian Sect was in seclusion, he had gotten used to standing here, so much so that even after the Chao Tian Sect had ended its seclusion and the Sect Master had fallen unconscious, he still stood guarding at the same spot, finally finding his place in the Chao Tian Sect.

It was as a security guard.

Though it sounded rather unimpressive, he thought it was better than being a pet. At least he was doing something meaningful and shining brightly. He planned to hold on tight to this position. Not too long ago, during the seclusion period, even the Sect Master of the Heavenly Axe Sect had come to see him with great respect, and that had felt rather exhilarating.

And when he would eventually go to the Third Grade Continent, even the old demons who had cultivated for years would have to nod and bow in his presence.

The feeling was indescribable.

There was a certain thrill in wielding power through association.

And right at that moment—

A surprised voice from Xing Dou suddenly came from inside the Heavenly Palace, “The Sect Master has awakened!”

Instantly,

Fat Long and the others who were chatting outside all rushed to the Heavenly Palace, kneeling beside Chen Qiu’s bed with reddened eyes and tearful gazes, tremblingly they said, “Brother Qiu, you’re awake.”

…

…

Inside the Heavenly Palace, Chen Qiu lying on the bed opened his eyes weakly. The first thing he saw was the people kneeling in front of him, and in a hoarse, low voice, he said, “Scram.”

“Right on it.”

Fat Long, who was on the ground, quickly pulled the scholar Xing Dou and the others towards the outside of the Heavenly Palace.

Soon, the Heavenly Palace was empty, with only him left.

Feeling the pain radiating from his body, he frowned slightly, took out a water flask from his chest, took a sip to moisten his dry lips, then sat up on the bed with some difficulty, straightening his body.

It really hurt.

Surviving was something he hadn’t expected.

In fact, apart from a few injuries he sustained while trying to figure out the earlier Heavenly Tribulations, he had passed the later ones rather easily. Up until the Eighth Heavenly Tribulation, he hadn’t been hurt much, but it was that Ninth Heavenly Tribulation…

Crazy.

That was his only assessment of it; the power of the Ninth Heavenly Tribulation was significantly greater than the cumulative power of the previous eight tribulations.

At the moment when the Ninth Heavenly Tribulation struck him, he had even started planning what life in the underworld would be like.
