Monarch of Time - Chapter 709

Bai Longtian and Jiang Chen were both waiting in the courtyard outside for Shun Long to finish his seclusion.

Bai Longtian was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, while a golden light had covered his entire body, while Jiang Chen's body was emitting a dark, demonic aura that he didn't bother suppressing.

Bai Longtian had also reached the peak rank 9 in the Nascent Soul as well, while his body refinement cultivation had also reached the peak of the fifth stage.

After consuming nearly 300 top-grade 'Dragonblood tempering pills', it wasn't hard for Jiang Chen and Bai Longtian to breakthrough again in their body refinement.

At the same time that Shun Long opened the door of his room, Jiang Chen and Bai Longtian both opened their eyes and stopped their cultivation, before Bai Longtian said warmly

''Brother Shun, it seems you have finished your seclusion as well!''

Since Shun Long wasn't hiding his aura, Jiang Chen and Bai Longtian could also sense, just like Liu Mei and Xingyi did, that Shun Long had already reached the peak of rank 9 in the Nascent Soul as well.

Nodding his head, Shun Long looked at Jiang Chen and Bai Longtian and said

''Since everyone is ready, let's go to the inner court.''

Taking out the Grand Elder's golden-colored token, Shun Long injected his qi inside it, before he led Liu Mei and the rest towards the inner court.

A thin, invisible line of qi appeared from the Grand Elder's token the moment that Shun Long sent his qi inside it, showing the way to the Grand Elder's residence directly.

The Enforcement Hall disciples in front of the inner court's entrance recognized the token in Shun Long's hands and didn't bar him from entering inside it.

Of course, even if they didn't recognize the Grand Elder's token, there were very few outer court disciples who wouldn't recognize Shun Long within the Holy sect any longer.

In the last year, after the Martial Roll of Honor tournament ended, even the powerful families and clans around the Holy sect's territory had started to pay attention to Shun Long.

A genius who had comprehended 2 supreme Daos and was even rumored to have an immortal-grade bloodline? 

Such a person even had the potential to surpass even Yang Hui, the person ranked 1st in the Martial Roll of Honor, the greatest genius of the Yang clan who was born with the 'Fire Qilin's' eyes!

After word got out, many of the patriarchs and the clan leaders of the powerful families and clans had decided to do everything in their power to rope Shun Long into their clans.

Even the patriarchs of the 2 strongest clans within the Holy sect's territory, the Yang and the Qiao clans were no different, as they ordered their disciples and their descendants to covey their goodwill and invite Shun Long for a meeting.

Unfortunately for them, Shun Long was in seclusion, and Jiang Chen and the rest would mercilessly refuse anyone who wanted to meet Shun Long, no matter who it was.

Even when the person ranked 2nd in the Martial Roll of Honor, the blue-haired goddess, Qiao Min herself arrived to have a chat with Shun Long a month ago, she was mercilessly rejected by Jiang Chen without a second thought.

Although dissatisfied, Qiao Min still left without raising a fuss.

After all, she had here to invite Shun Long, not to stir up trouble because she wasn't given any face.

Surprisingly, it wasn't just Shun Long himself who received offers from those powerful clans, but Bai Longtian and the rest as well.

In the beginning, Bai Longtian and the others who had come from the Night star continent, were considered to be nothing more than country bumpkins.

However, after the Martial Roll of Honor, nobody dared to belittle them anymore.

Even those powerful families and clans decided to extend an invitation to them.

Everyone understood that it was only a matter of time before Shun Long's faction rose to the very top of the entire outer sect.

Some people even believed, that by the time that Shun Long broke through to become an early rank 1 Dao King, he would even be able to enter the top 10 in the Martial Roll of Honor directly.

Although many people snorted when they heard this while some even scorned the people who had made those claims, in the past 1 year, Shun Long's fame had even surpassed that of Qiao Min's in the outer court of the Holy sect, and was only below Yang Hui's.

Since Yang Hui left the Holy sect to follow the 'princess' of the Bai clan inside the City of Immortals, many people claimed that it was only a matter of time until he became a Sovereign realm expert!

Although the Holy sect was either excited or worried about the emergence of a possible Sovereign realm expert and the Yang clan's rise, Shun Long and the rest hadn't been paying any attention to any of that.

After entering the inner court, Shun Long and the rest walked for almost an hour, before they arrived in front of a large courtyard that had its gates wide-open.

Seeing that this was the Grand Elder's residence according to the golden-colored token in his hands, Shun Long's group walked past the enormous wooden gates as they entered the courtyard.

As soon as they stepped foot inside the courtyard, Shun Long, Jiang Chen and the rest could all feel the tens of gazes that were focused on them, almost as if they had become the center of attention.

10 outer court disciples dressed in yellow robes could be seen sitting on the ground, all of them turning their attention towards this group of newcomers with shock in their eyes.

At the same time, a group of disciples that were dressed in blue robes seemed to have been surprised as well, as they turned to look at Shun Long's group with questioning gazes.

It was common knowledge that only 10 outer court disciples and 10 inner court disciples would enter the King's Palace every time it opened, and there had never been any exceptions!
