Chapter 406: Chapter 397 Monster Gathering

"Swordsman?"

Sensing the change that had occurred in Zhang Hao, many people around him showed a look of surprise in their eyes.

"Such a sharp temperament, this man’s swordsmanship must be extraordinary."

"If it were only his swordsmanship that was remarkable, he might not have been able to blast open the stone door; not long ago, a Sword Dao genius of the Nirvana Realm’s eighth level spent a great deal of effort to finally hack open the door and enter."

Clearly, despite the impressive temperament Zhang Hao had exhibited, which surprised the onlookers, his cultivation was deemed to be on the weaker side, and people obviously did not hold much hope for him.

"I haven’t seen this youngster in half a year, and it seems his strength has improved a lot; even I feel a dangerous aura emanating from him."

On the contrary, in the direction of Mo Wangchen and the others, Nangong Haoran was slightly taken aback. Previously, he had spent half a year within the Piaomiao Palace, crossing swords with Zhang Hao day by day.

Regarding Zhang Hao’s strength, he could be said to have the most understanding, and now, feeling the changes in Zhang Hao’s aura, it was evidently many times stronger than it had been half a year ago.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, the Youlong Sword in Zhang Hao’s hand began to rise slightly. His eyes narrowed as he stared straight at the stone door as if facing an opponent, seeking out the enemy’s weaknesses.

"Devouring Sky Sword Technique!"

The next moment, the sword in his hand began to tremble like mad. Above the boundless Heavenly Vault, a gaping abyss suddenly tore open, from which a continuous surge of grand momentum flowed down, merging into the Youlong Sword.

With a sword slashed in midair, in an instant, a myriad of sword lights emerged, interweaving together to form a net-like pattern that enveloped the skies and bombarded towards the stone door.

Crack!

Crack!

When the net formed by sword qi completely struck the stone door, the sword net suddenly shattered in an instant, and a terrifying sword pressure pervaded, causing everyone present to catch their breath.

"Sword Intent!"

"He has actually grasped Sword Intent!"

The crowd erupted in shock, their eyes wide and mouths agape as they looked at Zhang Hao. Sword Intent, a concept ethereal and elusive, shared origins with the Tao Law, requiring a deep mastery of the Sword Dao before one even had a chance of perceiving it.

It was unexpected that this young swordsman, who was only at the fifth level of the Nirvana Realm, had actually grasped what all swordsmen dreamt of!

Hum!

Amidst the astonished cries of the crowd, the entire sword net completely shattered, dissipating into nothingness; the most astonishing part, however, was that the massive stone door, which seemed immovable, had been forcibly blasted open, creating a crack.

"Soul Extinguishing Sword Technique!"

Zhang Hao, holding the Youlong Sword, walked slowly towards the stone door. As he moved, invisible currents swirled around him, sharp and compelling, causing his clothes to flutter and giving him an even more ethereal and transcendent demeanor.

Hum Hum Hum!

From his body, a sharp aura spread out, forming phantom sword shadows, hundreds and thousands of them, emitting waves of sword sounds, directly targeting the stone door.

Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh!

When he came within five steps of the stone door, the hundreds of thousands of sword shadows before him flew out with a thunderous force, as if they could penetrate anything.

Boom Boom Boom!

Finally, the sword shadows fully crashed against the stone door, leaving everyone dumbstruck, because at that moment, the stone door, which had initially only been cracked open a sliver, seemed to have been pushed by the potent force of a devastating sword qi storm and swung fully open, revealing the elder who was sitting cross-legged behind it.

"A swordman, his heart is his blade, which can kill or protect, all in a single thought."

The elder opened his eyes, looking at Zhang Hao, with a glint flowing in his gaze, and spoke again, "Hidden Dragon Academy welcomes you to join."

With a wave of his large sleeve, a Hidden Dragon Token slowly descended into Zhang Hao’s hand.

"Thank you, elder!"

Zhang Hao, holding the sword, bowed deeply, looking at the Hidden Dragon Token in his hand, his eyes shone with an unsurpassed fervor as he envisioned his future. From today onwards, he would step onto the stage of the Canglan Star Domain, competing for brilliance against the prodigies of the Great Thousand Plane.

After standing up straight, Zhang Hao returned to the side of Mo Wangchen and the others. The stone door closed once again, awaiting the next challenger.

"Even our nephews have succeeded, if we as their senior uncles can’t blast open the stone gate, how would we face anyone in the future?"

The gazes that everyone cast towards Zhang Hao seemed fervent. Ren Qingcheng, the eldest nephew, stepped forward, his eyes brimming with eagerness to try.

"The third one now, who knows if he could succeed too!"

All eyes in the arena converged on Ren Qingcheng, and Mo Wangchen’s entourage—Wu Lingfeng, Zhang Hao—had greatly exceeded everyone’s expectations.

To them, it seemed this group was probably not as simple as they appeared on the surface.

Boom! Sure enough, Ren Qingcheng secretly activated the Longevity Scripture. His body shone brilliantly, almost blinding, as a huge ethereal hand emerged, containing the terrifying power of some Tao Law.

With a shock of the giant hand, it took only one strike to completely blast the stone gate open.

Ren Qingcheng’s success made it clear to Mo Wangchen and the others that bearing the Ancient Scripture indeed had an unexpected effect on the stone gate, allowing them to blast it open with ease.

Then, Zhuo Bufan, Qin Yue, and others took their turns. They all possessed the Longevity Scripture, and as expected, each was successful in blasting the stone gate open.

Lin Jing, carrying the Saintess’ treasure clothes, shone brightly. The garment had been sacrificially refined by an old ancestor from the Lin Family who reached the Half-Step Emperor Realm and contained a trace of an Emperor Realm Great Power’s Divine Thought. She activated the Killing Technique, and in the end, she too blasted the stone gate open and obtained a Hidden Dragon Token.

"No way, they’ve all succeeded!"

"That’s insane! Where did these people come from? Fifteen people and fourteen have already succeeded!"

"Without any surprises, that young man in white will most likely be successful too. It is truly astonishing. The Canglan Star Domain has countless monsters, but not many can blast open the stone gate. Suddenly, so many dark horses have appeared today, it seems like these names weren’t even known before."

Everyone was dumbfounded, staring at Mo Wangchen’s group in utter astonishment. As the news spread, more and more people hurried over upon hearing it.

Swoosh! Inside the Hidden Dragon Academy, suddenly two figures darted out. They slowly floated beside the stone gate in the sky, gazing over.

"It’s the Little Peng King, Zhou Tong, and the inheritor of the Qiongqi bloodline, Yao Wuliang!"

"These two monsters have reached the Incarnation Realm. Their Power of Body is feared among their peers. There aren’t many who would dare to engage in close combat with them. Why have they come?"

As everyone was surprised, several figures successively dashed out from behind the stone gate, all of whom were notable figures who had obtained a Hidden Dragon Token in this Hidden Dragon gathering.

"Xuanyuan Wudi, Zhao Yihang, Ye Jiming..."

"The ten greatest experts among the younger generation of the Canglan Star Domain, they’ve actually come too!"

Amidst the chatter, only to see, led by Xuanyuan Wudi and the other two, several figures descended. They approached Mo Wangchen.

"Brother Mo, it’s been a year, but you’re as impressive as ever!" Ye Jiming greeted Mo Wangchen with a cupped fist, his face showing extreme courtesy, which made everyone around drop their jaws in shock.

How could this be? Despite the fact that the actions of Mo Wangchen and his group had shocked everyone, Ye Jiming, Xuanyuan Wudi, Zhao Yihang—these three were all among the top ten experts of the younger generation, and nearly all of those who came with them were among the most outstanding individuals of the Canglan Star Domain.

And they knew this young man in white, to be able to treat Ye Jiming with such courtesy, who exactly was this young man in white?

A smile appeared on Mo Wangchen’s face, as he nodded politely in return. Those who were now accompanying Ye Jiming were the All Saints, figures he had once encountered at the Zhao Family.

"Everyone, it’s been a while since we’ve seen you in good health."

After speaking, Mo Wangchen slightly lifted his eyes to look at Yao Wuliang and Zhou Tong, who were beside the stone gate in mid-air.

He took a step forward, the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow appeared in his hand, drawn to a full moon. Spiritual Power condensed around him, shining so brightly that people couldn’t help but raise their hands to shield their eyes.

Hiss! The arrow soared, piercing the void, and finally hit above the stone gate, shattering it completely and bringing it down with a crash.

Dust rose all around, and Mo Wangchen stood before the settling dust, his clothes fluttering slightly. He slightly raised his eyes to look at Zhou Tong and the others and said lightly, "This is not Tiannan. Once you leave the Hidden Dragon Academy, be careful not to be shot down by me."
