Could it be that this year's level is very high?
No matter how strong, how strong could it be?
It was only one or two Eighth Meridian Circulation Stage, could it be three?
"..."
At the foot of the Peerless Peak Mountain, Chen Chunle gloomily returned. The three Yuan Combination Stage Elders had long known that Chen Chunle had lost in the first round.
After Chen Yuanyong defeated Chen Chunle, he told the news to the three Yuan Combination Stage Elders.
Chen Yi and Chen Chunle were not familiar with each other, so they naturally did not say anything. On the other hand, the other two young men of Seventh Meridian Circulation Stage went up to console them.
There was no helping it, they were the only ones with Seventh Meridian Circulation Stage cultivation.
Although Chen Yixue had Seventh Meridian Circulation Stage as well, she was at the Perfection Stage. Furthermore, she had a cultivation body which was not something Chen Chunle could match up to.
The most direct evidence was that before Chen Yi rose in power and before Chen Junhao sacrificed his talent to raise his strength, Chen Yixue was ranked fourth.
Only under Chen Ziyao, Chen Anlan, and Chen Gaojun.
With Chen Yixue's accumulation, she would be able to raise her Eighth Meridian Circulation Stage in at most two to three months at Heavenly Pride Peak.
If he could obtain even better resources and cultivation environments from the Ancestral Land, he would be able to breakthrough within a month at the most.
Strictly speaking, Chen Yixue and Chen Chunle's Seventh Meridian Circulation Stage were not on the same level.
Chen Chunle quickly collected his emotions and told his two Seventh Meridian Circulation Stage companions about Chen Yuanyong's information.
As for Chen Yi and the others, Chen Chunle felt that they could pass anyway.
Chen Yuanyong was a big enemy to him, but not necessarily to Chen Yi and the others.
The second young Heavenly Pride set off. His cultivation was at the perfection-stage of the Seventh Meridian Circulation Stage, but it was the type that had just broken through. Compared to Chen Chunle, his strength was extremely limited.
Even so, in the past years, he was still ranked in the top three of the nine.
However, he was still unable to pass the first stage.
The three Yuan Combination Stage Elders were not the least bit surprised. To be able to obtain Ancestral Land, how could the nine monsters on the ninth floor be ordinary?
And after cultivating in Ancestral Land for a year, the efficiency would definitely surpass that of cultivating in seclusion at Heavenly Pride Peak for a year.
Merely the fact that the Ancestral Land was able to help the Heavenly Pride's Genuine Qi transform faster was enough to allow the Ancestral Land's Heavenly Pride s to crush the Heavenly Pride's Heavenly Pride's peak.
The second place was followed by the third place. The third place was also at the perfection-stage of the Seventh Meridian Circulation Stage, but it had broken through half a month earlier than the second place. It lasted slightly longer than the other two before it lost.
The three of them were dejected. Although they had prepared for this but they still felt depressed.
In short, the might that the Peerless Peak Heavenly Pride displayed to the three of them had been accomplished.
The three of them no longer had the sense of superiority that they had at Heavenly Pride Peak.
Unbeknownst to him, Chen Yuanyong was also a bit shocked.
At first, he thought that the rules for passing the trial would be different from before, and that the order would probably be random. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the first person to be at the peak of Seventh Meridian Circulation Stage.
Naturally, it was impossible for the strong to pass the challenge. He knew that this year there would be Chen Ziyao, so it was impossible for Chen Chunle to be the strongest.
However, after fighting three people in a row, Chen Yuanyong had to admit that the rules hadn't changed.
And the weakest was actually someone like Chen Chunle, who was at the peak of Seventh Meridian Circulation Stage?
"Tch, the weakest is still the peak of the Seventh Meridian Circulation Stage. Could it be that three or four Eighth Meridian Circulation Stage will appear this year? Impossible, this is too unbelievable. " Chen Yuanyong began to worry for himself. If this year's level was too high, and he passed too many first trials, wouldn't he be laughed at by others?
He was an old man who had cultivated stealthily in Ancestral Land and Peerless Peak for a year.
At this moment, the fourth challenger left. It was none other than Chen Yixue.
Chen Yi and the others counted the time and realized that a long time had passed. The third person had almost come back by this time.
"Seems like Chen Yixue has passed the first round." Chen Gaojun said beside Chen Yi.
"No matter what, he was still number four." Chen Yi nodded slightly and did not underestimate Chen Yixue.
Although Chen Yixue was currently ranked 6th out of the nine contenders, she definitely had the strength to be ranked in the top three, or even the 2nd.
If there were no Eighth Meridian Circulation Stage born in this year's tournament, then Chen Yixue would very likely be the top ranker of this year's tournament.
In addition to Chen Yixue's own bloodline power, there was indeed a possibility for her to pass the first trial.
However …
Chen Gaojun said, "Even if you push yourself to death, it's only the first stage. The second stage might not be passed."
The six guardians were basically selected from the twenty percent of the profound practitioners, but the first guardian was fixed, and that was the last place out of the dozens of Heavenly Pride s in the Peerless Peak.
In other words, the second guardian was most likely second from the bottom. However, it was also possible that he was eighth to ninetieth.
Although they were only lacking a few ranks, their strength was still quite lacking.
The last to last place was at the middle stage of Eighth Meridian Circulation Stage, from the bottom eight to ninety, and was at least at the peak of Eighth Meridian Circulation Stage.
They both had the power of bloodlines. Chen Yixue wanting to test the power of bloodlines to make up for the disparity in cultivation was a little too difficult. After all, Heavenly Pride of Ancestral Land had long said that the Genuine Qi had already transformed.
The cultivation level of the Ninth Meridian Circulation Stage was actually comparable to the cultivation levels of ordinary Tenth Meridian Circulation Stage and Eleventh Meridian Circulation Stage.
As expected, when Chen Yixue returned, everyone learned that she had been defeated by the people guarding the second stage.
The first trial guardian, Chen Yuanyong, was at the middle stage of Eighth Meridian Circulation Stage, and the second trial was directly raised to the peak of Eighth Meridian Circulation Stage.
After Chen Yixue, there were still five people left who had yet to pass the trial: Chen Ziyao, Chen Anlan, Chen Gaojun, Chen Yi, and Chen Junhao.
Among them, Chen Ziyao had Ninth Meridian Circulation Stage, so even if he had just entered for the first time, he had the highest cultivation among the five, so he was definitely the last to challenge it.
The remaining four people were all at Eighth Meridian Circulation Stage, of which Chen Anlan was at the beginning. Although Chen Junhao had broken through earlier than Chen Anlan, due to the various costs he had to pay, he had still stopped at the early stage of Eighth Meridian Circulation Stage up till now.
Chen Gaojun had broken through even earlier, and now, he was at the middle stage of the Eighth Meridian Circulation Stage, nearing the late stage.
Although Chen Yi had just broken through not long ago, he was still at the middle stage of the Eighth Meridian Circulation Stage.
Therefore, the fifth person to pass the trial, the three Yuan Combination Stage s, was swaying between Chen Anlan and Chen Junhao, because the two of them were both at the early stage of Eighth Meridian Circulation Stage.
Chen Anlan said, "Junior will go first."
Chen Anlan knew that he was no match for Chen Junhao.
Chen Anlan also passed the first stage, but he was also defeated in front of the second stage.
Then, there was Chen Junhao. Chen Junhao was unstoppable as he displayed his powerful strength, and the news that came caused the three Yuan Combination Stage Elders to be dumbstruck.
Chen Junhao had passed the five tests consecutively, but he was ultimately defeated at the hands of the guardians of the sixth test.
Chen Junhao returned with a dark face. He was very dissatisfied with this result. He thought that he would be able to clear the level this time.
What they didn't know was that this result had already caused the three Elders to be shocked.
This was because the person guarding the sixth stage was also the strongest person among all the people who had guarded the sixth stage all these years. In the past, the person guarding the sixth stage was only in the top ten.
This time, he was ranked 20th!
Even the last twenty were more than twenty in number. Amongst the forty odd Heavenly Pride s present in the Peerless Peak, they were already ranked in the middle ranks.
Their strength was naturally no small matter.
As a new person, it was rare for one's strength to be so close to the average level of Peerless Peak.
