550: legend?

With Yang Chi's help, Chen De's cultivation took another step forward.

He had never been a bad person, but he had eliminated many bad people.

Another life had slipped away before his eyes; although it was an act of justice, he still felt a little sad.

Just as Chen De was preparing to leave the place, a figure appeared in the arena.

"You know everything?"

Chen De stopped his intended steps; he was not surprised by the newcomer. "I know everything."

"You kid have some ambition too."

The newcomer was none other than Lu Li, who looked at Chen De and chuckled.

"Among those who haven't left yet and are still staying here, who doesn't have ambition? Who doesn't want to become a disciple of the Ancestor?"

Chen De gave this reply to Lu Li's question.

"What you say is true; who doesn't have ambition?" Lu Li did not feel anything wrong with what Chen De said.

Because it was indeed the truth; if they hadn't given up on becoming a disciple of Ancestor Wuguang, they could have just left. Why stay here and waste time?

Take those people in his alliance, for example; they claimed to follow his orders, but wasn't their real goal to stay and see if they had a chance?

It was the same old saying: as long as they hadn't left, everyone staying here was a competitor.

The purpose of others currying favor with you was ultimately for themselves.

Lu Li had already cultivated to the Immortal Law Realm, so naturally, he wasn't that naive.

"So... do you want to compete with me now?"

Changing the subject, Lu Li's tone carried a hint of coldness, and fluctuations began to emanate from his body.

Chen De hurriedly said, "Boss, how would I dare to compete with you?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Li's expression softened slightly, but the aura around his body did not diminish. "Oh, then what do you want to do?"

"I heard that the key figure appears once every sixty years. After you succeed this time, Boss, I implore you to grant me the qualification to compete for the next one."

Facing Lu Li's intense questioning, Chen De dared not hide anything and quickly blurted out what he was thinking.

"Good, then I will give you a chance. Do not let me down."

Lu Li's expression returned to how it was when they first met, and he turned and left the place.

But before leaving, he shot a ball of light towards the center of Chen De's forehead.

Seeing this, Chen De did not dodge or avoid it, simply letting it sink into his forehead.

It turned out that the ball of light contained information left for him by Lu Li, as well as arrangements for him.

Chen De read information from it that was more comprehensive than what he had gotten from Yang Chi.

Lu Li had indeed arrived here sixty years ago, but he was not from the first batch.

To be precise, there were three batches of people before him.

A batch arrived every sixty years, just before the birth of a Legend, but they all arrived in the same year.

For example, the period when Yang Chi arrived was precisely the eve of the birth of the third batch of Legends.

And the third batch arrived on the eve of the birth of the second Legend; both appeared in the same year.

Generally speaking, the interval between the two would not exceed three months.

And once a Legend was born, they would inexplicably disappear without a trace.

According to Lu Li's speculation, they must have entered the next stage.

However, those who had previously achieved the status of Legend could use an avatar to intervene and hinder the birth of the next Legend.

The strength of their avatars was roughly at the peak of the Legendary Level.

Therefore, the first person to break through to become a Legend undoubtedly had the greatest advantage; apart from those in the same batch, no one would come to hinder them.

The second one was Wu Dan of Wuguang Hall, who belonged to the same faction as them.

He was targeted by the first one, but fortunately, he had prepared in advance and successfully withstood it.

As for the third one, logically speaking, it would be impossible to succeed under the pincer attack of two Legends.

But for some reason, he reached a cooperation with the first one, who held Wu Dan back, allowing him to successfully break through.

Actually, thinking about it, it was likely that the fourth one was basically another Immortal Law Realm cultivator from Wuguang Hall.

With Wu Dan's restraint, the first one would basically be unable to successfully hinder him.

When the time came, with the two of them, he would lose miserably.

But now it was Lu Li's turn to break through; Wu Dan could hold back one, but he had to deal with the other one himself.

Although he could also learn from Wu Dan and prepare in advance, he didn't have much confidence; one had to know that Wu Dan's breakthrough that time was extremely dangerous.

And because there had already been a precedent, it would undoubtedly become harder for people afterwards to use this method to break through.

Therefore, Lu Li had to be fully prepared this time, otherwise he might really capsize; among the four times, his could be said to be the most difficult.

When Yang Chi was sent over, he had naturally already investigated Chen De.

He knew that Chen De had the ability to rapidly improve his cultivation, those methods of absorbing blood to become stronger.

He also knew that those things in the city were all done by him, and inferred that he already possessed the strength to threaten the Emperor.

This was also one of the reasons for recruiting Chen De.

And he tacitly allowed him to take action against members of the alliance, just so he could improve his strength as quickly as possible.

Because according to the time calculation, the Emperor did not have much time left and would soon break through.

He had to be better prepared, and Chen De was undoubtedly a very good choice.

Helping Lu Li fend off the other avatar was his goal.

"So that's how it is!"

From this moment on, Chen De finally understood the cause and effect of everything.

A batch of people every sixty years; in each batch, as long as one defeated the key figure, a Legend could be born.

He remembered that whoever achieved the most in this world could become a disciple of Ancestor Wuguang.

Then breaking through to become a Legend should be a significant achievement, right?

It was just why it was divided into periods, and why there were multiple, could it be that there was a final 'gu' battle?

Chen De couldn't be bothered to guess, nor did he need to; he just needed to break through to become a Legend in the end.

Watching Lu Li's retreating figure, a flash of red goodwill flickered in his eyes.

...

As for allowing Chen De to grow, Lu Li was actually extremely uneasy in his heart.

Just like his answer at the time, who didn't have ambition?

With the opportunity to become a disciple of Ancestor Wuguang, would he give it up just because he was his boss?

No!

But so far there was no better way, and he had to take a risky move.

Moreover, Lu Li had confidence in his heart; he was at the Immortal Law Realm, while Chen De was only in the Mortal Realm.

Therefore, although everyone was at the peak of the Legendary Level, they would absolutely not be his opponent.

Lu Li believed that with his caution, he would not be backstabbed by someone in the Mortal Realm.

Of course, the reason he finally chose to use Chen De was still because there was no better choice.

The others either didn't have enough trust, or their strength was too weak.

This group of unstable factors definitely had to be cleared out before breaking through to become a Legend.

Otherwise, if they happened to pick up a bargain, it would be even more uncomfortable than having one's own father die.

Good things could fall into anyone's hands, but they just couldn't fall into the hands of the weak.

Even if it really fell into Chen De's hands, he would accept it!

But...

In the secret chamber, unlike Chen De, Lu Li's eyes were flashing with cold light.
