Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 811 - Discussion on Law
Chapter 811: Chapter 811 Discussion on Law
“Mortals are often dull,”
In front of the mountain gate entrance to Green Cloud Palace on Taiwu Mountain, Mo Han, with a sigh, said to Wang Chen, “and greedy, making them hard to enlighten, ah!”
A towering mountain gate cut across the road, separating the world of immortals from that of mortals.
Before the gate kneeled thousands of seekers of immortality, many of whom truly looked pitiable.
Mo Han had come to greet Wang Chen.
He had also witnessed Wang Chen healing that little girl.
Wang Chen replied with a smile, “Perhaps.”
The two did not continue discussing this topic. Led by Mo Han, Wang Chen climbed the steps and soon they reached the peak of Green Cloud Peak.
The flattened summit of the first peak of Taiwu Mountain seemed as if it had been leveled by a sharp sword before the Green Cloud Palace was built.
The Green Cloud Palace was magnificent and sprawling, dividing into four main halls, front and back, with various pavilions and towers scattered throughout. It is said that hundreds of cultivators practice here.
When Wang Chen and Mo Han arrived at the main hall of the Green Cloud Palace, they saw two to three hundred people sitting on the floor listening to a sermon, enveloped in a solemn and respectful atmosphere.
The mage giving the sermon was seated on a cloud platform above, draped in a Taoist robe and holding a horsetail whisk, the very picture of a celestial and detached Taoist master.
“Mage Jiyun…”
Mo Han stepped forward and reported, “Taoist Friend Wang, Wang Chen, has arrived.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone’s gaze in the room simultaneously focused on Wang Chen,
including that of Mage Jiyun on the cloud platform.
Curiosity, indifference, skepticism, contempt…
Wang Chen looked so young, and the eyes of many held a heavy scrutinizing look.
“Good,”
Mage Jiyun smiled and nodded, “Taoist Friend Wang, please take a seat for the time being. After I finish my sermon, we will proceed with the agenda.”
Wang Chen bowed, “Thank you, Mage.”
He and Mo Han took their seats, albeit in a corner spot.
Mage Jiyun’s lecture lasted for two hours.
Wang Chen felt like falling asleep.
Because, although the Mage’s content seemed profound and inscrutable, it was mostly pretentious with very little substance—hardly even worth the effort for Wang Chen.
Out of politeness, however, Wang Chen patiently wasted his time there.
But he did not come away completely empty-handed.
In the meantime, the little fox quietly poked her head out from his bosom and whispered, “I have perceived the aura of the Mysterious Fox Order.”

After her transformation, Hu Jiaojiao was capable of speech and no longer needed to write to communicate with Wang Chen,
and her perceptive abilities had greatly enhanced!
Wang Chen nodded subtly.
Finally, when Mage Jiyun finished his sermon, he addressed the assembly, “Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new Taoist friend with us today. His name is Wang Chen. Although young, he is highly gifted. It is my intention to recommend him for membership in the Green Cloud Alliance. Does any Taoist friend object?”
The cultivators looked at each other, and for a moment, silence fell.
However, soon a middle-aged cultivator stood up and proudly said, “Mage, though our Green Cloud Alliance is as inclusive as the vast ocean, we do not welcome the mingling of fish and dragons. Might we ask this Taoist Friend Wang to demonstrate his spells to prove his cultivator’s title?”
Mage Jiyun’s gaze turned to Wang Chen, “Taoist Friend Wang, what do you say?”
“Sure,”
Wang Chen rose to his feet without a second thought.
He had no interest in any Green Cloud Alliance, but Hu Jiaojiao sensed the aura of the Mysterious Fox Order here, which completely changed the situation.
“Hold on!”
Just as Wang Chen was about to display his spell, the middle-aged cultivator said, “Displaying spells isn’t as good as testing skills. Taoist Friend Wang, since today is a meeting for discussing skill, how about we spar a bit?”
“Fine!”
“Let’s spar!”
As his words fell, the cultivators around him burst into cheers, and the atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became lively and boisterous.
Mage Jiyun, smiling without saying a word, showed no intention of stopping them.
Mo Han quickly stood up and whispered to Wang Chen, “Taoist Friend Wang, this Taoist Friend Hongyuan possesses a profound cultivation level, just one step away from achieving Entry Tao. You…”
Wang Chen waved his hand to interrupt the advice and loudly addressed the middle-aged cultivator, “Since Taoist Friend wishes for a friendly exchange, it would not be right for me to disappoint. We shall test our spells and discuss the Tao, stopping at hints of defeat.”
The middle-aged cultivator laughed heartily, “Good, good, good!”
Mo Han smiled bitterly and shook his head.
In his view, Wang Chen was too young and arrogant. This time, he was bound to take a heavy fall!
However, it wouldn’t escalate to loss of life, so he decided to step aside after all.
The center of the main hall quickly cleared, creating a large area for Wang Chen and Hongyuan to spar.
Not only that, but the ground of the grand hall also emitted a faint white glow, materializing a barrier to serve as protection!
Before stepping into the circle, Wang Chen took Hu Jiaojiao from his embrace and placed her on the cushion where he had been seated.
The appearance of this White Fox immediately drew the attention of many!
Hongyuan paused for a moment, pointing at the White Fox and asking, “Taoist Friend Wang, is this your transformed beast pet?”
“No.”
Wang Chen shook his head and replied, “She is my companion on the path of cultivation.”
The main hall erupted in shock!
Wang Chen actually considered his beast pet as a fellow Taoist, which seemed somewhat heretical.
Yet, since the White Fox was a transformed animal, it somehow made sense.
It could only be said that Wang Chen was incredibly fortunate to have such an encounter, indeed the envy of many!
Hongyuan’s eyes flashed as he said, “Taoist Friend Wang, a simple competition is quite dull. How about we lay a wager for stakes?”
Wang Chen smiled, “What kind of stakes do you have in mind, Taoist Friend?”
Hongyuan pointed at the White Fox, “If you lose, this fox creature…”
“Taoist Friend, mind your words!”
Wang Chen’s expression changed dramatically, “As I’ve already said, she is my companion on the path of cultivation. How could she possibly be put at stake? Taoist Friend Hongyuan, do not bring this up again!”
Hongyuan, having his hopes dashed, twitched the corner of his eye a few times and said sheepishly, “Since you’re unwilling, let us drop the matter.”
In his heart, though, he vowed to show Wang Chen a lesson soon!
“Let’s pick something else.”
Wang Chen took off the Sumeru Ring he wore on his ring finger and said nonchalantly, “This Sumeru Ring can contain all things, and its mysteries are boundless, making it the perfect stake.”
Saying that, he reached into the Sumeru Ring, took out a robe, and then placed it back in, to prove he wasn’t bluffing.
The Sumeru Ring!
Every cultivator present brightened up at the sight, including Mage Jiyun seated on the cloud platform, his eyes showing a strong interest.
Nobody expected Wang Chen to possess such a treasure!
Hongyuan was thrilled, “Good, we’ll use this treasure as the stake…”
“What about your stake, Taoist Friend?”
Wang Chen interrupted him, “If you were to lose, what would you compensate with?”
Hongyuan was momentarily stunned.
All he could think was—how could I possibly lose?
But voicing such a thought would be too graceless.
Wang Chen waited momentarily, receiving no reply from Hongyuan, and couldn’t help but scoff, “Nothing? If you’ve got nothing, then don’t spout nonsense!”
Hongyuan’s face turned beet red in an instant!
