Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor

Originally, Chu Feng would have been able to retire triumphantly after passing two stages.

Nobody expected that Chu Feng would challenge the third stage again. It is known that the deeper one goes in the Qiankun Sword Formation, the more dangerous it becomes.

Even the flaunting Young Master Jia only managed to reach the second stage.

Those geniuses who were able to surpass the third stage of the Qiankun Sword Formation were almost without exception promptly promoted to the inner sect by their sects. At the very least, they could become an ordinary Inner Sect Disciple.

"Could this lad be aiming to be promoted directly to Inner Sect Disciple as soon as he enters the sect?"

Everyone was intently watching Chu Feng inside the formation. They noticed that Chu Feng's speed had significantly slowed down after reaching the third stage.

Chu Feng indeed had this intention.

If he could be promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple, every sect member who came with him to the Divine Martial Continent could gain his protection.

At this moment, Young Master Jia could not even bother flaunting around beautiful ladies anymore but instead stared jealously at Chu Feng inside the Qiankun Sword Formation.

If Chu Feng indeed passed the third stage, he would immediately outshine him.

The mere thought of being surpassed by Chu Feng made Young Master Jia feel extremely uncomfortable.

...

Inside the Qiankun Sword Formation, the situation was unfavorable for Chu Feng at the moment.

The difficulty of the third stage was far beyond his expectations.

He easily passed the first two stages because he had grasped the true essence of the Fast Sword Technique and the Heavy Sword Technique. The third stage tested the understanding of the Slow Sword Technique.

Unlike the previous stages, the third stage consisted of a vast Sword Domain that enveloped the entire stage.

And this Sword Domain was nearly perfect. With Chu Feng's current strength, it was simply impossible to shatter this Sword Domain.

It's common knowledge that one's strength is severely suppressed within someone else's Sword Domain.

At least weakened by more than tenfold.

Which means, a Nine-star Sword God entering would immediately be reduced to a One-star Sword God.

At this moment, Chu Feng's strength was severely suppressed.

The might of each of his sword strikes was less than one-tenth of its usual power.

However, the sword light emitted by the Qiankun Sword Formation was tremendously powerful. Each streak of sword light was abnormally strong.

Chu Feng gradually began to falter.

Nevertheless, he gritted his teeth and persevered, countering every sword light within the formation brought him immense benefit. His comprehension of the Slow Sword Technique also deepened.

By the time he reached two-thirds of the third stage, he was already at his limit.

His eyes were incredibly bright; he had touched a hint of the true essence of the Slow Sword Technique. However, it was still very obscure, vague, as if looking at a beautiful woman through a veil.

He could only catch a glimpse of a silhouette.

"Boom!"

A terrifying sword light slowly sliced towards him, knocking him to the ground. In this critical moment, Chu Feng made a quick decision, rolled away like a donkey, and swiftly retreated to the buffer zone between the second and third stages.

Then, he walked directly out of the Qiankun Sword Formation.

For him, the mission was already accomplished. As for passing the third stage, he simply didn't possess the strength at the moment.

Because he had not yet grasped the true meaning of the Slow Sword Technique.

He was merely able to manifest the simplest Sword Dao Aura.

"My husband!"

"Mr. Chu!"

Han Xiaoying and Han Shuang hurried over to meet him. Pu Li, Elder Shoumei, and others followed closely behind.

Every one of them looked at Chu Feng with the eyes of looking at a hero.

Their faces were full of joyous smiles.

"Well done, lad! This time, our over two hundred people from the Dan State Branch finally have a place to belong. We no longer need to beg anyone; we can join the Wan Jian Sect Main Lineage based on our own merit!"

Pu Li, as the Sect Master, had much more at heart than anyone else.

"The Sect Master should not praise me too much. I originally thought I could break through the third barrier and be promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple! Unexpectedly, the Qiankun Sword Formation was incredibly tough, and in the end, I fell short of success."

Chu Feng showed no pride, appearing very humble.

In his words, there was also a hint of regret.

"Chu Feng, you have already done very well! There are over a million disciples in the Wan Jian Sect Main Lineage, and very few can successfully pass even the first level of the Qiankun Sword Formation, not to mention the second level."

Elder Ge Qing said with a smile.

Everyone from the Dan State Branch felt relaxed. Because Chu Feng had passed the second level, they could rightfully remain.

"Junior Brother Chu, you have truly made a great contribution for our Dan State Branch this time!" Sima Zhen and others also came forward smiling with congratulations.

The one who always wanted to make a move on Han Xiaoying, Jia Zhenjing, seeing that Chu Feng failed the third barrier, his gloomy face finally eased a bit.

"Haha, as this young master said, with his trash level, how could he possibly pass the third level?" Young Master Jia's voice was very loud, deliberately denigrating Chu Feng.

"Young Master Jia is so pleased, could it be that he has already passed the third level?" Chu Feng no longer had to fear Young Master Jia, and naturally, there was no need to contain himself any more.

"You... how dare you speak to this young master like that! Kneel down and apologize immediately!" Young Master Jia, having been exposed by Chu Feng and unable to refute, out of embarrassment, could only use the status of an Inner Sect Disciple to oppress Chu Feng.

"Apologize to you? And kneel down, why should I?"

"I don't have the spare time to argue with you, I have already successfully passed the second level of the Qiankun Sword Formation, according to the rules of the Wan Jian Sect, it's enough to prove the credibility of our Dan State Branch's identity."

"Hurry up and process our entry registration!"

Chu Feng's face was stern, not buying Young Master Jia's act at all.

"Hmph, processing entry registration is no problem. But I can only do it for you alone, as for them, they can roll back to wherever they came from." Young Master Jia was being unreasonable, deliberately making things difficult for Chu Feng even after his success in the Qiankun Sword Formation.

Pu Li and others hearing this, were immediately furious.

This Young Master Jia was utterly despicable. Chu Feng was a disciple of the Dan State Branch, and his success in the challenge was sufficient to prove that the Dan State Branch was a part of the Wan Jian Sect Main Lineage.

Now, according to him, every individual must succeed in the challenge to be allowed entry.

Where in the world was such a thing demanded?

"Mr. Jia, your demand has no basis, it's clearly making things difficult on purpose. Not just our Dan State Branch, even in the Main Lineage, not everyone is capable of passing the Qiankun Sword Formation."

"I alone am enough to represent the entire Dan State Branch!"

Chu Feng was infuriated, his anger blazing. He already harbored dissatisfaction towards this Young Master Jia. This repeated provocation completely enraged Chu Feng.

"What this young master says goes! What if I am deliberately making things difficult?" Young Master Jia sneered, blatantly and openly bullying Chu Feng.

Chu Feng was extremly enraged, his killing intent clearly showing, glaring furiously at Young Master Jia.

"What? You want to teach this young master a lesson or what?" Young Master Jia wore a sinister expression, deliberately provoking Chu Feng to take action against him openly.

Although he was only an Early Stage Sword Saint, if Chu Feng dared to make a move, he would undoubtedly win.
