He went to other Red Dragon Guard s and watched girls dance or something, yet when he came to Zhu Hsinghee's place, he actually saw two men fighting?
It was one thing to fight, but he still had to be bare-chested. What the hell was this?
When the two young men stopped, the two young men wiped their sweating heads while looking at Zhu Hsinghee expectantly. Zhu Hsinghee happily gave the two a few pointers and then looked towards Gu Huanyi and Chen Yi, "Do you two have any advice for me?"
The two young men looked at Gu Huanyi and Chen Yi expectantly.
Gu Huanyi said helplessly: "I specialize in refining the Qi, I've never done much body refining before, how can I give pointers?"
After a warrior stepped into the Quasi-innate, the Ancestral Aperture of Forehead was activated, and could resonate with the spirit energy of the world, which had a requirement for the warrior's body. If one's body was weaker, even if they had a higher compatibility with the spirit energy of the world, their progress would not be faster, or else there would be a problem with their body.
The spiritual energy of the world, which had yet to be tamed, wasn't as peaceful as it was now. The moment it entered his body, it would become especially irritable.
In every corner of the continent, there were forbidden areas or dangerous areas that underwent changes due to the dense nature spirit energy. This caused all sorts of terrifying phenomena such as the tornados and thunderstorms formed from spirit energy.
The destructive power of the various phenomena caused by the tornados and claps of thunder formed from these spirit energy was equally terrifying. Even if Astral Deities Worship Stage were to be drawn into them, there was a danger of death.
Thus, when he reached the Quasi-innate stage, even if he looked down on Qi Refinement Cultivator who was refining his body, he would still refine a little bit of Body Refinement Technique. He did not need to be very strong to be able to withstand the impact of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on his body.
However, Qi Refinement required talent, and Body Refinement didn't?
Gu Huanyi was someone who didn't have any talent at all, or perhaps his talent in the Body Refinement Faction was too low. That's why Gu Huanyi had purely relied on pills to improve himself, how could he have any experience at all.
Zhu Hsinghee naturally understood Gu Huanyi's situation from the beginning. Thus, with a chuckle, he turned his gaze towards Chen Yi.
Obviously, he didn't expect Gu Huanyi to be his target from the beginning and his target had always been Chen Yi.
The battle between Chen Yi and Chen Taiyan, who had defeated Chen Taiyan who was in the Innate Realm with Acquired Stage realm, caused a huge uproar in Crimson Dragon Town.
This was different from the Red Dragon Guard selection back then. At that time, both sides were using Acquired Stage.
But now, one was in the Acquired Stage and the other was in the Innate realm.
Since they were both Heavenly Pride s, it was normal for s with Acquired Stage to defeat an ordinary Innate Ranker at the early stages of Innate Genuine Returning Stage.
This matter had caused quite a commotion within the Red Dragon Guard, those who were ranked in the middle and at the top didn't seem to care too much about this matter, as the ones who were ranked in the middle and ranked in the bottom were completely different, and thus, many of the Red Dragon Guard s started to ask for more information regarding Chen Yi.
Out of the few Red Dragon Guard s that were spectating, they were the ones who were questioned the most.
Although the rankings of these Red Dragon Guard were not high, they were still innate Red Dragon Guard after all. They were average amongst the Red Dragon Guard group, but outside, they were also the most outstanding people amongst the same level.
They could tell that Chen Yi already had a certain level of body refining ability, so he wasn't bad at the body refining level.
Furthermore, Chen Yi's bloodline was of a very high level, moreover, it was meant to increase the strength of the physical body. The power of his bloodline that he had grasped was also very deep, turning into a gigantic monster that looked like the Blazing Demon King, the strength of his body was not inferior to the First Rank Innate Body's at all.
The reason why Chen Yi could ultimately win was because of the First Rank Innate Body's [Burning Devils Body], its deep bloodline power, and its awakened Earth-ranked ability.
Based on their experience in body tempering, this group of people's Red Dragon Guard was not as high as Chen Yi's, so Zhu Hsinghee was looking forward to see what Chen Yi could say.
Seeing this, Chen Yi said a few simple words and pointed at the two young men. The two young men were very happy, probably got something from Chen Yi's words.
These two youngsters' body refining level was actually not that bad. Just by looking at the strength of their bodies, taking a blow from an ordinary peak late stage Circulation Stage wouldn't be too much of a problem.
However, Chen Yi's [Burning Devils Body] was a type of bloodline that raised his physical strength. Since Chen Yi had turned into a burning demon many times, he naturally had a lot of experience. This was Chen Yi's advantage.
As for the experience with Body Refinement Technique s like [Book of Crimson Nimbus], Chen Yi had also consumed a lot of pills.
Zhu Hsinghee told the two young men to back off and he was about to call someone else over, but he was stopped by Gu Huanyi. Gu Huanyi said in a bad mood: "You like this kind of close combat performance, but it doesn't mean that others like it."
Only then did Zhu Hsinghee notice Chen Yi's reluctant expression. He couldn't help but say in embarrassment, "I thought Brother Chen would like it, obviously Brother Chen's bloodline favors the Body Refinement Realm."
Chen Yi embarrassedly touched the back of his head. [Burning Devils Body] preferred body tempering, but that didn't mean he liked watching two men fight naked.
Coincidentally, a few maids were serving new food and spirit wine. Zhu Hsinghee hurriedly poured a cup for Chen Yi and Gu Huanyi and said: "It's because I didn't think it through. Brother Chen, please forgive me."
Chen Yi quickly clinked his glass to show that he didn't mind.
Gu Huanyi ridiculed, "I really don't understand why a Xiantian with Qi Refinement would like the younger generations to train their bodies and would like them to perform in front of you."
"That's fine, but afterwards you even liked to instruct these young people. In terms of body refinement, how much stronger are you than me?"
"Do you believe that some of the younger generation trained by you have more experience in body refining than you do?"
Zhu Hsinghee said faintly, "A man's romance lies in close combat."
Therefore, Zhu Hsinghee explained to Chen Yi the reason why he likes watching men fight. It turned out that Zhu Hsinghee was extremely thin when he was young, and before he started training in martial arts, Zhu Hsinghee was often bullied by others.
So, even though he had become a master in the arts of Innate Genuine Returning Stage, and the Innate Body had also risen to the level of Fourth Rank, he still had a unique affection for body tempering. His own talent in this area was average, so he especially hoped to cultivate a descendant who could rely on body tempering to become an Innate, to satisfy his regrets.
The three of them chatted about their past. Of course, it was mainly about Zhu Hsinghee and Gu Huanyi's past. Chen Yi was still young, so there was nothing much he could say.
Thus, just like that, they chatted and drank, and their emotions rose rapidly.
Suddenly, Zhu Hsinghee brought up a topic: "Not long later, it will be eight countries worth of Flood Dragon Warfare. I wonder what our Yunlan County's result will be this time."
Gu Huanyi said dispiritedly, "What does it have to do with us? We're long past our prime."
Chen Yi said, "You two are still young."
Gu Huanyi laughed: "It's just looking young. In fact, both of us are almost sixty."
In other words, Gu Huanyi and Zhu Hsinghee were both in their fifties.
If it was an ordinary person, they would be considered a grandfather, but if placed within the Genuine Returning Stage, they were indeed not considered old, and could even be considered to be in the prime of their prime.
If a Genuine Returning Stage expert took care of their condition well and didn't use any life-losing secret techniques, they could basically live for a hundred and fifty years.
If one cultivated some secret technique to extend one's life during this period of time, or a Spirit Fruit, it wouldn't be a problem to live for another ten to twenty to thirty years.
Zhu Hsinghee, on the other hand, looked at Chen Yi and said, "Little Brother Chen, on the other hand, has fulfilled the requirements in terms of age."
However, the two of them knew Chen Yi's true age.
Gu Huanyi shook his head: "So what if you have met the requirements, little brother Chen has not advanced to become an Innate, and this time, the Flood Dragon Warfare of eight countries does not belong to him. But next time, perhaps little brother Chen can participate, with little brother Chen's talent, the strength that comes ten years later, will definitely not be weaker than us two, or maybe even stronger."
Chen Yi immediately shook his head modestly: "How is that possible? I'm far from you two."
Zhu Hsinghee laughed, "Brother Chen, you don't have to belittle yourself and flatter us. We know our own limitations."
Chen Yi said: "Brothers, what are these eight countries' Flood Dragon Warfare?"
Zhu Hsinghee explained: "It can be considered an early selection for Azure Dragon Guard."
"Azure Dragon Guard!" Chen Yi's expression turned cold. This was a unit with a higher position than the Red Dragon Guard, it belonged to the Jingzhou, King Jing. It was King Jing's direct descendant.
Chen Yi was a bit excited in his heart. He had merely become a Red Dragon Guard, with the protection of a duke, if Chen Family and Chen Yanbinn didn't dare to extend their hands towards him, then what if they become a Azure Dragon Guard?
Perhaps in the future, when Chen Yanbinn became Leader of Empyrean Gods Sect, he would not be able to do anything to him and could only watch himself become stronger.
Chen Yi immediately asked: "When are the eight countries worth of Flood Dragon Warfare?"
Looking at Liu Tie's expression, it was clear that he was interested in the Flood Dragon Warfare of the eight counties in the near future, and couldn't help but shake his head: "You, how should I address you? Although you are strong enough to even defeat Innates like Chen Taiyan, the selection of Azure Dragon Guard is even more harsh than the one of the Red Dragon Guard. In less than a year, no matter how much your strength increases, passing the selection of Azure Dragon Guard will be as difficult as ascending to the sky, not to mention it's only the initial selection, it's not the final selection."
However, in the end, Zhu Hsinghee still introduced the specific circumstances of the eight counties' Flood Dragon Warfare to Chen Yi.
The Flood Dragon Warfare of eight countries was King Jing's first selection of each county's Red Dragon Guard. Only those under the age of fifty could participate in it, and only four people from each county could participate. The total number of people in the eight counties was thirty-two.
The Jingzhou actually had nine counties, but the last county was the core of the Jingzhou and was the place led by King Jing. Therefore, King Jing Cheng's Red Dragon Guard did not need to participate in any eight countries' Flood Dragon Warfare at all, as they had their own channels for promotion.
Therefore, only eight countries of the Flood Dragon Warfare would participate. Thirty-two people would participate in three rounds of battles, and thirty-two would go through sixteen, sixteen would go through eight, and eight would go through four. In the end, four people's Red Dragon Guard would enter the examination stage.
This examination is divided into two parts. The first part is the realm of cultivation, and as long as one advances in Yuan Combination Stage before the age of sixty, they will be able to satisfy this condition. After the age of sixty, they will advance into the Yuan Combination Stage, and they will be eliminated.
The second test was about strength. Just raising one's Yuan Combination Stage was not enough, as it was impossible for one to be weak. One to either possess a high level of bloodline, or grasp a strong sword aura.
Of the eight counties' Flood Dragon Warfare that occurred once every ten years, although there were always four spots that passed the initial selection, it was still considered good if there were one or two that succeeded in becoming Azure Dragon Guard in the end. Most cases, only one would be able to pass the final selection.
To break through the Yuan Combination Stage before the age of sixty, and to even possess battle power that far surpassed martial practitioners of the same level, was definitely not an easy matter.
Take Zhu Hsinghee and Gu Huanyi for example, the two of them were definitely existences in the top one hundred and eight Red Dragon Guard s, and there were at most a dozen of people who were above the two of them.
But even so, if the two of them were to advance in Yuan Combination Stage before the age of sixty, there was no hope. There was a high possibility for them to do so before the age of seventy, and breaking through Yuan Combination Stage at this age was already very young.
Yuan Combination Stage could live for two hundred years, and during the past hundred years, basically all of them would increase by leaps and bounds. The progress from a hundred to a hundred and fifty years wouldn't be too slow, and only after the age of one hundred and fifty would one enter into old age.
Which is to say, Zhu Hsinghee and Gu Huanyi, the two of them, had a very high chance of success in assailing the Astral Deities Worship Stage for over ninety years.
The two existences which had the greatest hope of becoming Astral Deities Worship Stage in the future might not even be able to become Azure Dragon Guard in the future.
After he finished speaking about the eight countries' Flood Dragon Warfare, Zhu Hsinghee said: "Brother Chen, you should have given up now. Even if you want to participate in this year's tournament, it will be very difficult for you to obtain these four spots.
"Even after ten years, you are still only in your twenties. You are very young."
Of course, Chen Yi did not plan to give up. In a year's time, he might not be unable to cultivate to the tenth stage of the [All-power Spell]. As long as he could reach the tenth stage, he would be able to fully enter the postcelestial stage.
To be promoted to the [Innate] realm from a All-powerful Body meant that one had to at least have a breakthrough in the later stages of the Genuine Returning Stage.
Each of the eight countries' Flood Dragon Warfare s were selected after they were under fifty years old. With the majority of the Red Dragon Guard s around thirty years or even under thirty years old advancing into the Innate Ranker, being less than fifty years old and raising their cultivation to the mid to late stage of the Genuine Returning Stage, could already be considered as Heavenly Pride.
However, one year was too short of time and Chen Yi was prepared to fail at breaking through the Upper Sky Realm.
The three of them chatted for a while longer before Chen Yi took his leave. After Chen Yi left, Gu Huanyi said, "Do you think this little guy has given up?"
Zhu Hsinghee shook his head: "I don't think he has given up yet, but there's not much hope for that. There's only a year of time left until this year's eight countries' Flood Dragon Warfare. It's too short."
Gu Huanyi sighed, "This kid is too aggressive. He's only so strong, not even a Xiantian, and he's already about to attack the Azure Dragon Guard. I just hope that this failure won't deal too big of a blow to him."
"..."
Chen Yihui was still a little excited inside his Red Dragon Palace because that was his desire.
Although it had now become a Red Dragon Guard, causing the Tianxiang Peak branch of the Chen Family and Chen Yanbinn to be wary, Chen Yanbinn's small movements still did not stop, such as Chen Taiyan's matter from before.
Chen Taiyan obviously didn't receive any rewards, but he was still able to reach the Innate Realm within three months. It was obvious that he had the support of Chen Yanbinn's resources.
If Chen Taiyan failed, what would Chen Yanbinn do next?
Would he do anything to his father?
Even though Fool Uncle and Ancestor Ziyun guaranteed it, they would definitely not let Chen Yanbinn and the Tianxiang Peak Division stretch their claws towards Chen Family.
But, Chen Yi knew that the Hsingyun Peak branch was weak, and Fool Uncle's and Ancestor Ziyun's guarantee, might not really be able to keep the Yongde Town safe and sound.
Therefore, Chen Yi needed a bigger backer!
A backer that the Tianxiang Peak Faction and Chen Yanbinn did not dare to rashly make a move against.
King Jing obviously had the qualifications to do so.
"In order to become a Azure Dragon Guard, one must first obtain the four spots to participate, and in the end, obtain the top four Red Dragon Guard s from a total of thirty-two people in the eight counties, and obtain the qualifications to make up for the Azure Dragon Guard s."
"After that, all you need to do is to raise your Yuan Combination Stage within ten years, and have the strength to suppress those of the same cultivation level."
"I'm confident in my ability to raise my Yuan Combination Stage within ten years, and I'm confident in my ability to suppress those of the same rank."
"However, to be able to reach the Innate Realm within a year and even get three slots, there is quite a bit of pressure. I have to hurry up and do my best."
With that, Chen Yi opened the red packet system and prepared to open it. He hoped to get something useful for cultivation from this red packet.
After opening the red packet, a familiar piece of debris appeared in Chen Yi's palm.
He actually obtained another Tao Comprehension Stone fragment.
